Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 232 The Stronger You Are, the Busier You Are

The progress of the shooting continued in this joyful atmosphere.

Today is the scene where Shen Teng and Ma Li will be acting against each other on the rooftop.

Ma Dongmei imitated Qiuya's outfit and makeup like a fool.

Charlotte mistook her for Qiuya and chased her all the way to the rooftop.

Aerial photography was started again for Cheng Xi's scene.

Since "The Beginning", Cheng Xi has fallen in love with aerial photography.

Especially with the Bohai Sea opposite, you can feel the sea with birds singing and flowers blooming.

"Ma Li, be a little shy, because you are imitating Qiu Ya now."

"Shen Teng, riding a pig and throwing a javelin here is a bit exaggerated."

In this play, Ma Dongmei plays Qiuya and Xia Luo plays Ma Dongmei.

It is also a famous scene.

In the last shot, Ma Dongmei knocked Xia Luo onto the drum, making a "bang" sound.

This game ended in joy.

"Shen Teng, is your head okay?"

"It's okay, Director. It's just a small matter. I was afraid I might break the drum."

"Okay, now that this one's over, let's move on to the next one."

After about half a month of filming, the crew roughly knew what kind of effect and style Cheng Xi wanted.

So Cheng Xi began to train two new film directors, Yan Fei and Peng Dama.

Some roles of non-important protagonists were assigned to them.

The drama itself was also directed by the two of them.

In the first few days, Cheng Xi was a little worried that their level was not up to par.

But after watching the footage they shot for several days in a row, I found it was much better than I had imagined.

After all, during the filming of "Empress Wu", he asked the two of them to follow Cheng Xi for a period of time.

It can be considered as practice.

I didn't let my training down.

Moreover, a script is essentially a storyboard.

The two of them didn't know how many times they watched it.

They are also familiar with the actors.

Therefore, Cheng Xi felt that "Charlotte's Troubles" was the easiest drama to shoot.

It’s good to have someone to share the burden with.

Evening at the hotel.

Reba played League of Legends on her laptop.

Cheng Xi watched the fight from the sidelines.

Reba can be said to be the busiest actor in the crew.

I have to act on the set during the day and study the script and memorize lines at night.

When I have free time, I will continue to practice the songs of League of Legends and "The Lone Hero".

"Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes~"

While playing the game, Cheng Xi adjusted Reba's singing style and taught her how to roam in the mid lane.

Fortunately, Reba only had to sing about a quarter of the lyrics.

This has lightened a lot of the burden.

Sometimes the climax of many songs really needs to be simpler.

You can use some emotion.

But those few gentle sentences at the beginning really require some strength.

To conquer the audience.

As the Victory settlement screen appears on the screen.

Reba stood up and excitedly high-fived Cheng Xi:
"Brother, I finally got 1500 points."

"Yeah, 1500 points will be gold after the update."

League of Legends will be officially updated on November 11th, and the requirement is that Reba can reach Silver 11.

That is about 1350 points.

There are still dozens of days left, and the target has been exceeded.

It’s no surprise that Reba is so excited.

"Don't be complacent, you have to keep up the good work. Also, you need to review your support skills."

When the All-Star Game comes, it would definitely be better to try both support and mid lane.

Reba is probably the weakest among the teammates.

If she plays support, the team has a better chance of winning.

But if she only plays as a support, some players may think she is just lying there.

So both must be practiced well.

"Okay, today's game mission is complete. Next, let's practice the song."

"I'll play the background music, and you can sing it from the beginning first."

As the prelude began, Reba stood up and sang seriously.

".
Are you going? Are you worthy?
This ragged cloak.

Fight? Fight!
With the humblest dream,

To the whimpering and roaring in the dark night,

Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes?"

To be honest, Reba’s singing talent is average.

But the key is to be serious. I started practicing when I decided to become the spokesperson.

So I sang it quite well.

But I definitely can't sing better than Eason Chan, so I'll adjust the tone when the time comes.

That’s about right, Cheng Xi thought.

Everyone knows that spokesperson Reba is not a professional singer and will not force anything.

But Cheng Xi obviously couldn't tell these words to Reba, and still maintained his high standards.

"I still can't get the climax right. Let's do it again, starting with the chorus!"

Ten days later, "Diamond Lover" had already aired 18 episodes.

The ratings also reached 2.8%.

Mango TV has once again found a hit drama with its own courage.

Discussions online are ongoing.

Unlike Cheng Xi’s previous dramas, most of them received positive reviews.

The pros and cons of this drama are evenly matched.

Those who criticize it say the plot is brainless and lacks logic. It plays on the Mary Sue plot of the domineering CEO falling in love with me.

And they are several domineering presidents.

The relationships between the characters are also you love me, I love you, and cross-love.

I didn't expect that Mr. Zuibai is starting to resemble Aunt Qiong Yao. He must be running out of ideas!

[I disagree with the above comment that Jiang Lang has run out of ideas. Look at how exciting "The Bad Kids" is. I think Zui Bai is just trying to praise people for this drama.]

[Praising someone also requires a good plot. Although I couldn't put this drama down and laughed non-stop while watching it, I actually forgot the plot after watching it.]

And of course there are many supporters.

Especially fans of Zuibai, Reba and Jing Tian.

[Honestly, do you enjoy watching this drama? Is it fun? If you enjoy it, that's it.]

[Those who say he's run out of ideas? Haven't you seen how Dilraba and Jing Tian's acting skills are soaring? Is there a director who's run out of ideas? Find me one!]

[Yeah, those people are just trying to be mean. Maybe Zuibai has been in the spotlight too much lately, and some people are just jealous. They're watching the show and cursing at the same time. If you're that good, don't watch it.]

[+1 to the above, yeah, you still watch it even though you're scolding me. The ratings are almost over 3, and you tell me this show isn't good?]

[Yes, you are not allowed to criticize my Wenwen! ]

But no matter how fierce the online arguments are.

The ratings of this drama have been steadily increasing.

Especially Reba’s acting in those famous scenes has frequently been on the hot searches.

The most classic scene is of course the crazy solo scene.

Cheng Xi also spent a lot of effort to train him personally.

Now many people just call her Reba Wenwen. The character Gao Wen is really brainwashing.

Many emoticons also began to spread wildly in various groups and major platforms.

It can be said that Reba’s popularity has reached a new level.

Battle reports may lie, but battle lines never do.

You can tell by looking at the fact that Reba’s fans have now reached over 900 million.

It is estimated that after the show is finished, it will officially exceed 10 million.

Cheng Xi’s fans are still a pitiful 300 million or so.

"Congratulations, little cutie! Your popularity has soared again."

"Humph, a lot of people scolded my brother, I'm not happy!"

Reba’s acting skills are becoming more and more natural.

Laugh when you want to, and hold it back when you play games with me.

So Cheng Xi didn't hesitate and pinched Reba's little face.

"Scolding is also a form of love. When we stop being scolded, then we'll truly be unpopular, understand?"

When Reba heard this, she tilted her head.

"Brother, you seem like a masochist. I don't like being scolded."

"Don't be so ungrateful. I'm just trying to praise you and resist the criticism. Didn't you see that no one is scolding you, they're all praising your acting skills."

This is true.

Not only did no one criticize Reba's Gao Wen, but Jing Tian's acting as Mi Duo was also praised by some people.

This is a treatment Jing Tian has never enjoyed before.

Although some people say that this character is a bit of a green tea, no one blames the actor.

It can be said to be successful, or it can be said to be unsuccessful.

After the most successful actor plays this role, people will know it’s you when they see you.

If they scold you, they will scold you directly.

For example, the pervert played by Feng Yuanzheng, Rong Mama, etc.

This proves that Jing Tian is still a long way from being deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The character Gao Wen has this tendency.

But Jing Tian is already very satisfied, and she enjoys her meals more recently.

The side effect is that I miss Cheng Xi more after eating.

"Cheng Xi, have you decided on a role for me in 'Charlotte's Troubles'?"

"I'm going to see you on the set!"

"Are you really here just to see me?"

"Of course I also want to thank my junior brother. Many people praised my performance of the role of Mi Duo!"

You didn't come to see me, or to thank me.

You are thinking about Artemisia coming, okay?

You think I don’t know.

However, Cheng Xi saw through it but did not say it out loud.

"Let's go back to Yanjing and see if there's a suitable role. You can still come if there's not one. I can just edit it out then."

It's not easy for the director to do this.

At worst, you can just make a friendly guest appearance and not charge any fees.

"I don't care. If I don't see you in these two months, I'll go straight to school to find you."

Okay, another one like Jin Chen who threatens my master.

You'll be in trouble then.

After comforting him for a while, he finally calmed down.

As for those who wanted to buy the second and third round broadcasting rights of "Diamond Lover", Cheng Xi let Li Wentao be responsible for it.

Anyway, we have cooperated with many TV stations and are familiar with each other.

And so, the crew filmed for a month.

By the beginning of November, the school scenes were almost finished.

It will probably take another week to finish the work, and then we will all return to Yanjing for filming.

Cheng Xi wanted to take Reba to the League of Legends headquarters in Shenzhen.

First, Eason Chan will be arriving in Shenzhen soon, and the recording of "The Lone Hero" will also begin.

Second, on November 11, the League of Legends two-year anniversary celebration will also begin.

When the celebrity game is to be held, Cheng Xi and Reba are both invited to play.

Although Cheng Xi does not endorse products, he is still willing to occasionally be a star summoner and play games to earn money.

The third is to shoot endorsement videos and photos for Reba.

Also need to record some in-game sounds and so on.

Anyway, it will probably take a week.

It just so happens that the two sides are staggered now.

The filming work will be handed over to Yan Fei and Peng Damo. When the celebration is over, both parties will return to Yanjing to reunite.

So after Cheng Xi gave some instructions to the crew, he took Reba and her assistant to Shenzhen alone.

Alas, the more capable I am, the busier I become.
