Reborn as a little director

After hearing this, Xie Siqing went to look at Chen Zhengzhi carefully again.

Chen Zhengzhi put his left elbow on the armrest and supported his own forehead, so that his hand was just between Xie Siqing and his own eyes, so that Xie Siqing could not see his eyes.

"..."

Chen Zhengzhi said, "Go and watch your movie."

"……Oh."

Xie Siqing was a little shocked.

Chen Zhengzhi still... really cried...

This is really unimaginable. After all, Chen Zhengzhi has always been tough, unruly, unrestrained, and casual. At this moment, in the dark, no one pays attention to him. Watching the words "Producer: Chen Zhengzhi" flash past, But could he no longer control his emotions?

Xie Siqing turned around, the list of main creators was over.

I didn't even see myself and Zhong Yang——

Then the plot of the movie officially begins.

Xie Siqing is very familiar with these plots, because he has watched them countless times.

However, every time I look at it, there will be new places that I want to change.

Maybe art always has regrets—it can never be as perfect as a formula, and new flaws can be discovered at any time.For thousands of years, there have always been paranoid artists pursuing "perfect art", but they were not available after all.

However, today, Xie Siqing didn't want to think about that anymore.

He no longer wants to look at this work with a critical eye, and he doesn't want to stare at every detail to see if there is any room for improvement.

The movie has been released, and now he just wants to watch the part he wants to watch quietly.

Feeling relaxed, Xie Siqing was surprised to find that his eyes had been following Zhong Yang.

On such a big screen, Zhong Yang seems to be different.

My eyes kept falling on that person, and I couldn't stop at all, for fear that I would overlook any details about him.

Zhong Yang's facial features seem to be different from usual when zoomed in like this, but they seem to be more refined.

It turned out that the eyelashes are like this when he lowers his head...the nose is like this when he turned his face...I didn't realize it much before.

Xie Siqing couldn't help but turned to look at Zhong Yang.

Zhong Yang didn't look back at him, but he knew what Xie Siqing was doing, so he touched the back of Xie Siqing's hand with his index finger again.

Xie Siqing didn't know what was going on, so he grabbed Zhong Yang's finger.

Zhong Yang went one step further and interlocked his fingers.

"..." Xie Siqing was very clear in his heart, and his face blushed again.

Chen Zhengzhi, who was sitting on the other side of Xie Siqing, seemed to feel some strange atmosphere.

He looked at Xie Siqing and Zhong Yang, then suddenly leaned forward and bent down to look at the two of them.

When they found that their fingers were intertwined, they were furious. They took out their mobile phone and tapped Xie Siqing's knuckles.

Xie Siqing felt the pain, and quickly let go.

"You two, pay attention to me!" Chen Zhengzhi roared in a low voice.

The implication is that "you will suffer if you are seen by others!"

"……Oh."

"I can't see that you are this kind of person!"

"..." Xie Siqing never thought that he was such a person.

But wanting to touch each other, this kind of feeling will always be very strong.

The total length of the film is 100 minutes.

Xie Siqing just looked at it.

After two and a half years, his film was finally released again.

Two and a half years——

Xie Siqing couldn't help but look back on the years after his rebirth.

Take a pornographic film with Little Grape.

Participated in the micro film competition and won an award.

Then one after another, some micro film jobs came to him.

Shoot commercials for Xiaolongbao.

After that, several other commercials were also shot.

Invited by Zhong Yang to be his assistant director—from then on, he finally embarked on the track he wanted to go.Before that, he often sighed, when will he be able to re-direct the movie he wanted to shoot.

Along the way, there are Zhong Yang.

It really makes one wonder if there really is a destiny.

……

——After the premiere, the four of them called Mike, Zhang Yiran, Xia Yuhe, Wu Yisen, Qiu Shi and others out for a meal together.

It's like a celebration, but it's not a celebration.

The joy is that the movie has been officially released, but there is no result yet, so there is no merit.

As soon as Zhao Qing left the venue, she took out her mobile phone, and fiddled with it all the way to the hotel.

Xie Siqing was sitting next to her in the car, and Zhong Yang was on the other side. He accidentally glanced at her mobile phone and found that she was sending the same content about the premiere to many people, and then replied one by one to continue chatting with her. Man, very busy.

Finally, in the restaurant, everyone replied "I'll eat first, and we'll talk about it later."

"..."

As soon as he entered the house at night, Zhong Yang pressed Xie Siqing against the wall and kissed him.

"..." After a kiss, Xie Siqing gasped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why do you want to confess in public?"

"Who... who confessed in public..."

"You said no?"

"...I don't know." Xie Siqing said, "If you want to talk, you can tell."

"……Humph."

"You said it first." Xie Siqing said, "I'm just responding to you."

When Zhong Yang inexplicably said that one of the reasons for participating in this film was "I like Director Yao", Xie Siqing felt warm in his heart.It is a gift from Zhong Yang to say that he loves him on this most important occasion for him.Xie Siqing didn't want Zhong Yang to do this unilaterally, they should leave their hearts for each other here.

"What about you?" Xie Siqing asked, "Why again? Twice?"

Another time, when the host asked about Yao Dao's opinion, Zhong Yang said, "I really love him."

Then, just as Xie Siqing thought, Zhong Yang rubbed him and said: "Your first movie is officially released, this is your most important moment, I want you to know that I love you very much, let you Feel happier."

"Well..." Xie Siqing said, "I am very happy."

Zhong Yang kissed Xie Siqing again, and said, "Wait here for a while."

"...?"

After a few minutes, Zhong Yang came out again: "Come here."

"...Oh." What the hell...

Xie Siqing didn't know what was going on until he walked all the way to the restaurant.

—There is a cake on the table.

When I walked in, the cake said "Congratulations on the premiere".

"..." Xie Siqing asked, "You ordered it?"

"Why is it an order?" Zhong Yang said a little annoyed, "I did it."

"...Ah?" Xie Siqing once again discovered Zhong Yang's girlish heart, which was usually kept hidden, but occasionally jumped out to surprise.

"I did it, what's wrong?"

"...Where did you do it?" He lived with Zhong Yang and found nothing.

"Lian Xi's place, taught by Jing Ran." Zhong Yang replied, "Lian Xi bragged to me last time... After the movie he starred in premiered, Jing Ran took out the cake he made himself. He said he liked it after the premiere." He is very happy that someone doing this kind of thing. I think the premiere must be more important to you than Lian Xi's broken movie, so... I also want to do something to celebrate alone for you. "

"..." Xie Siqing asked, "Didn't Lian Xi laugh at you?"

"Is it possible that he doesn't smile?"

"..."

"Whatever he does." Zhong Yang said, "I told Jing Ran that he had done the same thing, and he immediately shut up and didn't dare to continue."

Xie Siqing looked down at the cake.

It's quite delicate, the words "Congratulations on the premiere" above are flamboyant, and they are indeed Zhong Yang's words.

"Come on." Zhong Yang pulled out a chair for Xie Siqing to sit on, "Your movie was born today, right?"

"……Um."

Xie Siqing took a look, and there was a fresh rose on the table.

Zhong Yang dug out a piece with a spoon: "Then, congratulations... Director Yao."

"Yeah." Xie Siqing also smiled, lowered his head and gnawed off the piece.

Zhong Yang tasted it himself again: "Not bad."

"Yeah." Xie Siqing said, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't taste good, I like it anyway."

"what do you like?"

"... cake."

"Why do you like cake?"

"..."

"why?"

"..."

"...?"

"……because I like you."

This Zhong Yang——

Over there, Zhong Yang actually said, "Forget your answer is correct."

"..."

Xie Siqing didn't go to get the spoon.

Zhong Yang feeds him one mouthful, then eats another mouthful, feeds him another mouthful, then eats another mouthful himself.

At some point, Zhong Yang put it on the spoon, and the two embraced and kissed each other.

Zhong Yang tore off Xie Siqing's tie.

Xie Siqing already felt that way when the tie was pulled out through the neck through the collar.

Zhong Yang then took off Xie Siqing's shirt.

He stretched out his hand to apply some cream, stroked it across Xie Siqing's collarbone, then lowered his head and leaned over to slowly lick it off.

"...Hello!" Xie Siqing called out in a low voice.

Zhong Yang didn't pause at all.

They came once on the dining table, and then Zhong Yang passed his hands under Xie Siqing's knees on both sides, and carried Xie Siqing back to the bedroom to come again.

Really happy, Xie Siqing thought.

It feels special.

In my previous life, after every premiere, I fell asleep alone.

This time, someone was celebrating him.

"Two and a half years..." Xie Siqing sighed.

"what?"

"It took me two and a half years to get here."

"Two and a half years...?"

"Ah."

Then Zhong Yang suddenly thought of something, "By the way, you even look like Xie Siqing in your closing remarks."

"..." Xie Siqing said, "You will know soon. My relationship with Xie Siqing."

"Okay." Zhong Yang said, "Don't worry. There should be a lot of stories in it. I can tell you when you are ready."

"……thanks."

Zhong Yang looked at Xie Siqing, turned over and pressed on top of him again.

"..."

This time, just as the two of them got into the mood, Zhong Yang's cell phone rang.

It's a short message.

"You'd better watch it." Xie Siqing said, "Today's premiere, what if something really happens?"

"..." Zhong Yang took a look at the phone, then cursed and turned it off.

"what happened?"

"Lianxi is challenging my lower limit again."

The short message was sent by Lian Xi.

Just one line: "Haha, it's nothing, just give you a shake. You're not doing it, are you? Don't wilt."

"..." Actually, Xie Siqing couldn't understand Lian Xi's weird friendship with Zhong Yang.

……

——The next day, there were indeed a lot of relevant reports in the media, and there were a lot of news about the entertainment industry.

Chen Zhengzhi also made a hot topic called "Zhong Yang's salary is [-] yuan", and then contacted Weibo to post it to help promote it.

Click to see, it is the content of the premiere last night:

【#钟扬电影三万#Last night at the premiere of "Ke Chuan Gongye", Zhong Yang blew himself up that his film salary was only [-] [surprised].Zhong Yang said that it was all because he was optimistic about this work, so he cut his salary to play the role, and at the same time, he also used actions to support his friend director Yao Shunyu.The Golden Hedgehog actor's salary is not as good as the debut rookie, what do you think? ] Then, Chen Zhengzhi also released a promotional song in full ink style.

The official promotional video has been released before, and this time the promotional song is specially aimed at those who are more "feeling".

He once said that the film is aimed at two groups.

One is a person who talks about "feelings".

One is a person who loves to watch faces.

"The leading actors are not allowed to be promoted on the show." Regarding the second group, Chen Zhengzhi felt rather annoyed, "Many of the people who watched those shows were face-controlling. It's a pity that Zhong Yang can't be allowed to do this kind of thing."

"..."

"Zhong Yang is not at the same level as those young idols. He is already a famous director, so it is impossible for him to make games with young idols."

"...Of course." Xie Siqing said.

"Qiu Shi can't do either."

"Why?" Xie Siqing asked.

Chen Zhengzhi said: "Isn't this a trick for myself? Qiu Shi's temper is as bad as it is. He probably scolds people every day when he is on the show. If he goes, he will become a pig teammate."

"..."

"Zhao Qing is also impossible." Chen Zhengzhi continued, "She is a newcomer, not well-known, and the program team is unwilling."

"……Um."

"So I only made an appointment for an exclusive interview with Zhong Yang." Chen Zhengzhi said, "It's not an entertainment program, it's an exclusive interview with celebrities, and the first type of people are attracted in the end."

"……it is good."

"I told you about this earlier, the broadcast time is the day before the official release."

"it is good."

Seven days between the premiere and the official release.

The official release is on Sunday.

Zhong Yang's program will be aired on Saturdays.

At the beginning of the show, the host asked Zhong Yang: "You seem to have always been very mysterious, and you don't want to participate in the show at all... Can you tell me why?"

Zhong Yang's answer is very in his style: "Am I not willing? You haven't looked for me, have you?"

"..." The host said again, "Recently you participated in a movie."

"Ah."

"From director to actor, do you have any special feelings?"

"I'm very happy." Zhong Yang replied, "I'm very happy to shoot this film every day."

"So, for the film you participated in, do you care more about box office or word of mouth?"

"box office."

"why?"

"The producer is watching your show."

"..."

"So," the host asked again, "Isn't it ruled out to be a pure actor again in the future?"

"Yes, maybe I will be a pure actor." Zhong Yang nodded, and then added, "But I will only participate in various films directed by Director Yao."

"Oh?" the host asked, "And why?"

"I..." Zhong Yang adjusted his thoughts, "I pay great attention to the chemical reaction with the director."

"Chemistry means...?"

"A lot." Zhong Yang replied, "Understanding, tacit understanding...and...there are many more. Therefore, it is not purely a rational choice. If the director can't give me... how should I say it, the sense of happiness during filming, I I would not participate, I prefer directing myself rather than purely filming, because no matter how good other people’s scripts are, they are still stories told by others.”

"It's a bit esoteric..." the host said, "Then, what if some other director can give you the same feeling?"

"Impossible." Zhong Yang said with a smile, "There will be no second one."

Then, the host played the promotional video: "Can you tell me about your role?"

"He is a contradictory person. I think many people have experienced the conflict between the individual and the social environment. His experience is particularly obvious, so this role is used to make people think about resistance and compromise."

……

After a few questions, the host took out the note from the audience: "These are all questions from the audience... We will randomly select them, and then you will answer them. If you really don't want to answer, you can skip it."

"it is good."

The host took out a piece of paper: "The first question... What do you think of the profession of director?"

"Director?" Zhong Yang thought for a while, and then replied, "Directors are very cute. They like to tell stories for everyone, especially directors who write their own stories. Sometimes when they hear those ideas, they feel very cute."

"Then..." The host drew another question, "The second question... This question is very interesting... It means, you are so handsome, so are you afraid of getting old?"

"……what?"

"Are you afraid of getting old?"

"Just getting older?"

"Correct."

"Oh," Zhong Yang said, "I'm sorry, I misheard just now."

The host asked: "What did you hear?"

"Did I hear that you are afraid of your wife?"

"Answering this is fine!" The host excitedly said, "We all know that you are not married...so, if you were married, would you be afraid of your wife?"

"I'm afraid." Zhong Yang replied, "I must be afraid."

"Why?" the host asked, "Why are you afraid of her?"

Zhong Yang said: "I'm afraid he will leave me."

"Wow..." The host couldn't stop praising, "What a good husband."

"..."

Then there were a few more questions, which Zhong Yang answered carefully.

The half-hour interview ended, and after the two thanked each other, the host sent Zhong Yang away.

This interview made Chen Zhengzhi black again.Yao Shunyu is not by his side, he is also so endless.

But he didn't have the time to care about Zhong Yang, because the official screening was about to start.

When the schedule was set, Chen Zhengzhi convinced the investors to choose the schedule on Children's Day.

This year's Children's Day falls on a Sunday.

Chen Zhengzhi explained why the Children's Day was chosen: "Now, the Children's Day files are all children's movies, cartoons for younger ages, or movies about children. This has led to few adult people during this period. Look. And in fact, many young people are also celebrating Children’s Day, at least it’s a festival, and they can play in the name. There are few festivals that couples or even friends can celebrate throughout the year. Valentine’s Day is usually in February and Qixi Festival It’s August and Christmas is in December. They think it’s fun to celebrate Children’s Day and want to be kids again, at least in front of couples, giving each other a toy or something.”

"..." The owner of Pineapple Cake had a dark face.

"So probably a lot of people will go to the movies." Chen Zhengzhi continued to explain, "So, in the face of overwhelming children's movies, we have only one that is more normal, and it is clear which one to choose. Maybe some people will try children's movies, but trust me , There are definitely not many people who really want to sit with a group of preschool children and watch cartoons. Even if ours is a literary film, it is not a big problem to beat children's movies in this schedule."

Regarding the positioning of this film as a literary film, Chen Zhengzhi has never been ambiguous. He has always felt that it is easier to win awards than box office.

"..."

"If it's really according to your intention, set the [-]st, or [-]th, to compete with a lot of foreign and domestic blockbusters, believe me, you will die a miserable death."

"..."

"Now the so-called 'schedule', a very important issue is the pattern. The Spring Festival is full of comedies, Valentine's Day is a love movie, the March [-]th is a women's movie, the Youth Day is an inspirational movie, and the National Day holiday is full of blockbusters... Let that What about people who don’t want to watch these things for a while? So, in my opinion, if the film’s competitiveness is not strong, it should do the opposite and release it on the wrong schedule.”

"Not good..." The boss of Pineapple Cake still has concerns about this method, "Why do you think this file is reliable? Why do I think it is so unreliable? Not just me, everyone will think it is not Reliable, because no one else does it, only you think it is reliable. If only you think it is reliable, it must be unreliable, and what we think is reliable will be really reliable. In my opinion, you are the best Remove this unreliable one and replace it with a reliable one, and then let me see if it is really reliable or not."

In just one paragraph, there are 12 "reliable" in it.

Xie Siqing felt dizzy when he heard it beside him.

But Chen Zheng was smart in the end, and he actually figured out the relationship right away.

He said: "Foreign movies don't have such a strict so-called 'schedule' at all. You can find what genre you like to watch. Let me tell you, when there are no normal young people watching the movie, it's the most damning thing." Spectrum! Think about it, lovers and friends saw Zhong Yang among a lot of sheep, wolves, pigs, and pandas! They found out that it was a person! How touching! If you insist on wanting this literary film on May Day , [-] releases to compete with blockbusters, I have a word, your future is death!"

"..." In the end, the boss of Pineapple Cake reluctantly agreed not to interfere due to Chen Zhengzhi's strong pressure.

The owner of Pineapple Cake feels that all the people Yao Shunyu recruited are just like him, and they don't listen to his investors at all.

Therefore, Xie Siqing's movie will be released nationwide on June 6.

Most theaters are not optimistic about the box office.

With the efforts of Chen Zhengzhi, most theaters show about 3 shows a day.

For a literary film with a small investment, about 3 games is already a lot.

If it wasn't for Zhong Yang's starring role, it would probably be 0 to 1 game.

When it was released on the first day, Xie Siqing couldn't help being nervous.

Zhong Yang has been trying his best to make him relax.

But how could Xie Siqing relax.

Chen Zhengzhi bought a topic on Weibo again.

Xie Siqing kept refreshing Weibo and other social media, searching for various keywords of his movies, hoping to get a little bit of information from just a few words.

However, throughout the day, there were quite few related comments.

Xie Siqing's heart sank gradually.

"It's Sunday." Zhong Yang comforted her again, "I haven't come home yet."

"...Well." I had no choice but to comfort myself like this.

It wasn't until that evening that there were more relevant comments.

Xie Siqing felt a little relieved.

It should be... okay?

It should... be able to recover the cost, right?

At night, Zhong Yang didn't tease Xie Siqing again.

He hugged Xie Siqing and went straight to bed.

"Zhong Yang..." Xie Siqing said.

"……Um?"

"I'm a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhong Yang said, "It's nothing."

"I'm afraid I'll blow it up." Xie Siqing said, "The first one was blown up, and it will be very difficult in the future."

"Why are you worried about this?" Zhong Yang said, "I'm in this film."

"……Oh."

No sleep for one night.

Xie Siqing couldn't stop thinking about it.

The brain is always active, and I can't sleep all the time.

As long as I fall into a little light sleep, all kinds of dreams about the reaction of this movie will come one after another, and then I will wake up again immediately.

When I saw Chen Zhengzhi the next day, he also had two panda eyes.

Then, waiting until the afternoon, Chen Zhengzhi said: "The box office figures for the first day are out."

— 2700.

This number is not a lot for commercial blockbusters.No, it should be said that many are still many, and there are not many movies that can reach this figure in a year, but now there are also commercial blockbusters that break 5000 million on the first day.

However, 2700 million is simply a miracle for literary films.

There are almost no literary films that can break through tens of millions.

On the first day, the box office was 5 times the investment, and Xie Siqing was still a little bit overwhelmed.

At the same time, various news and comments also appeared.

The news is all relatively orthodox, with similar topics, such as:

["Ke Chuan Gong Ye" had a box office of 2700 million on the first day, breaking the record of literary films] [The curse of literary films has been broken? The box office of "Ke Chuan Gongye" was 2700 million on the first day] As for the comments, there are a lot of nonsense: [The box office on the first day was 2700 million!Zhong Yang's monoclonal antibody box office has exploded! 】【Zhong Yang!I took 3!Give back 900 times on the first day! 】"Chen Zhengzhi," Xie Siqing asked, "Can you increase the number of sessions?"

"There will be no problem with this number." Chen Zhengzhi said, "I'll get in touch to increase the filming rate."

"Ah."

Chen Zhengzhi added: "From this point of view, it can exceed [-] million."

"……Um."

"However, we will continue to work hard, and there may be unexpected growth."

"……Um."

Chen Zhengzhi said: "So, there will be a lot of promotional activities in the future, for example, there will be a film festival next week, and I will take you to promote the film."

"...Okay." Xie Siqing didn't feel strange at all when attending the film festival.

Then, Xie Siqing looked at Chen Zhengzhi and said sincerely: "Chen Zhengzhi, thank you."

"...Suddenly, what nonsense."

"It's true." Xie Siqing said, "Recently, I often think, how wonderful it is to have you."

"..." Chen Zhengzhi said awkwardly, "Who made me owe you a favor?"

The two of them unanimously declared that the reason for Chen Zhengzhi's joining was that "Dao Yao was once detained by the police for one night." Nothing to do with that.

Xie Siqing felt that it was his luck to have Chen Zhengzhi around.

In Xie Siqing's view, in addition to the film itself, factors such as publicity and schedule played too many roles.

Another reason is that the film is relatively short, only 100 minutes, and it can attract some people who don't have much time in a film that is surrounded by 2 hours or even 3 hours.

After Chen Zhengzhi left, Xie Siqing looked back at Zhong Yang.

Zhong Yang smiled: "If I say it, there will be no problem."

"...Where do you have such confidence." In fact, there is no need to ask this question.Zhong Yang has always been like this, and he loves himself far beyond ordinary people.

"If I didn't have this self-confidence," Zhong Yang said, "I wouldn't have said that I acted for you."

"..."

"Remember what I said at the time? I said that I will fight against the box office for you."

"...Well." Xie Siqing said, "I remember."

"Hey..." Zhong Yang sat there, raised his neck and said, "Kiss me?"

It was a beautiful look.

"... Oh." Xie Siqing walked in front of Zhong Yang, lowered his head and covered his lips.

Zhong Yang pulled Xie Siqing to sit on his lap, their lips and tongues intertwined.

Just as he was feeling lost, he suddenly heard the door being opened again with a "bang", and Chen Zhengzhi's rough voice came: "I forgot my phone... oh, I'm going!"
