Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 236: Long Pain or Short Pain
"Brother, you haven't conquered Sister Reba yet~"

"You're such a good cook~"

After spending time with Jie Lun and the others, I went back early and of course played with Nazha before going to bed.

But unexpectedly, Cheng Xi suffered a ruthless attack.

You say I'm a bad boy, right? Huh?
"Still want some food?"

"Not anymore, huh?"

"If you say no now, will I let you go?"

"Brother, I kneel down and surrender. Please don't give up."

"Okay, it depends on your performance. If you perform well, I'll let you go."

After his guest appearance on the rooftop, Cheng Xi deliberately stayed for two days.

Nazha was thoroughly enlightened.

Until she finally admitted that she was not good at it.

Oh, this man has such a damn strong desire to win.

But it can be considered a combination of work and rest.

A trip to Jiangcheng will make you feel refreshed.

"This villa is a good choice. Let's choose this one."

"Okay, director."

Jiang Cheng's few days of guest appearance and play time soon ended.

Cheng Xi then returned to Yanjing to film "Charlotte".

The villa setting this time is mainly used to perform several scenes after Charlotte became famous.

The most important scene is when Charlotte meets the fisherman Yuan Hua on the cruise ship, and then takes him back to the villa to reminisce about the past.

That same night after the set was completed, Cheng Xi came to shoot the scene.

"Clothing, come here."

"Director, what do you want to tell me?"

"Don't use a black swimsuit for Reba, use a white one. Are you ready?"

"I'm ready!"

"Reba, go change your clothes again."

Maybe I didn't explain the costume clearly, the black and white swimsuits have completely different effects.

When Cheng Xi saw Reba coming out in a white swimsuit, he couldn't help but feel that his efforts these days were not in vain.

At this time, Reba was still shivering a little from the cold, and Cheng Xi considerately took off his coat and put it on her.

After all, it is already November and the weather is getting colder in the north.

"The water is kept at a constant temperature, but it might get cold soon. Can you handle it?"

"I can do it, director."

In terms of professionalism, Reba is really on par with Fan Binbin.

They all have workaholic personalities.

You can tell by the fact that she has become better at League of Legends than Chen He in such a short period of time.

"Reba, do you choose long-term pain or short-term pain?"

"Long pain or short pain?"

"Long pain is like me slowly pouring water on you until you get used to the water temperature before you go in; short pain is like jumping right in."

"Then I'd rather choose the short-term pain!"

Okay, I got it. I’ll make you suffer in the future.

When Cheng Xi heard this, he saw that several lenses and aerial photography were ready.

So he took off his coat and made a gesture of invitation.

"Then let's finish filming quickly and call it a day."

"Reba, just swim freely. We'll take a mid-shot and an aerial shot."

After shooting for about half an hour, Cheng Xi felt distressed and quickly asked Reba to get up.

At this time, Cheng Xi had already opened the little sun prepared by the props team.

"Come, come and warm yourself up."

Cheng Xi and Reba's assistant also hurried to help her wipe it.

"Have Shen Teng and the others prepare. After we finish filming the water exit shot, it will be their turn. Hurry up."

If we don’t hurry up, Reba will be frozen to death.

But that's what being an actor is like. Sometimes you have to shoot a winter scene in the summer and it's so hot.

It’s freezing to shoot a summer scene in winter.

This is all good.

Many celebrities attend fashion celebrations and walk the red carpet in the middle of winter.

Each one was wearing less than the other.

But I earn a lot of money and this is my job, so there is nothing to complain about.

Reba looked really pretty after taking a bath, Cheng Xi saw it clearly on the monitor.

Thinking of my massage last night, I became even more eager.

In mid-November, Jie Lun also came to the crew as agreed.

When the crew saw the real Zhou Jie Lun appear, everyone seemed very excited.

When they were rehearsing the show, they also thought about having real stars guest star in it.

I didn’t expect the director to invite everyone.

Now they all had to admire the boss's magical powers.

Not to mention, they also directly borrowed the stage of Blue Channel's "The Voice of China".

And all four mentors except Liu Huan were present.

Na Ying herself has a certain role, and Harlem Yu and Yang Kun were also present.

It's really nice to take shelter under a big tree.

This greatly enhances the authenticity of the scene.

It looks like I have really traveled through time.

The copy of the original work is lacking in any way.

Cheng Xi didn't plan to use Jie Lun for promotion, but rather as a movie Easter egg.

I believe that when everyone goes to the cinema and sees the real Jie Lun, they will definitely be pleasantly surprised.

Double the laughs.

Apart from the three mentors who received appearance fees, Jie Lun and Cheng Xi exchanged guest appearances, and neither of them charged any fees.

"The Voice of China" is also a mutual cooperation to expand its fame. After all, Blue Channel plans to run this variety show for a long time.

Moreover, Blue Channel bought the second round of "Diamond Lover", which is the third time the two parties have cooperated.

So we hit it off right away and there was no talk of money.

Liu Huan didn't come, so Xia Luo happened to sit in his seat.

Once everything is ready, start shooting!
"This is a singer from Taiwan. He ignited the whole audience with his cover of Charlotte's song 'Heart Clear'." Jie Lun performed his part on the stage and it was very simple.

Just pretend to be very young and sing your own songs.

For this purpose, Cheng Xi specially found videos of Jie Lun participating in variety shows in the past.

Let him figure it out on his own.

When Jie Lun looks back at his past self, he feels that he was so young and tender back then.

"You are adding unnecessary details to my lyrics by tampering with them casually!"

"Look at the stars, one, two, three, four, connected into a line. Do you think you are a snake?"

"I get angry when I look at you!"

Shen Teng's performance is very layered, and he portrays the guilty conscience very well.

He didn't really think there was anything wrong with Jie Lun changing the lyrics.

But I felt a little scared in my heart and couldn't even control myself.

At this time, the stage was in chaos, and Cheng Xi used an angle where the camera was knocked over to shoot the scene where Shen Teng punched Jie Lun.

"Crack, this scene passed. Brother Jielun acted very naturally, worthy of being a Golden Horse Award winner."

Cheng Xi knew Jie Lun's personality and that he liked to hear flattery.

Later on, when he held concerts, he basically brought his younger brothers with him.

My mind is not focused on my career.

If you praise him more, Jieren will perform more vigorously and the effect will be achieved.

"Brother Jielun, let's continue filming your next scene."

Zhou Jie Lun’s schedule is very tight, as “The Rooftop Crew” is still waiting for him, so he only has a day and a half of availability.

Of course, I have to hurry up and finish filming his scenes first.

Interview in the dressing room backstage of "The Voice of China".

Jieren was eating instant noodles in front of the mirror, with several red and swollen spots on his face.

“I also create on a regular basis, but I don’t know why.”

“I feel like I’ve always lived in his shadow.”

Cheng Xi watched Jie Lun's performance and felt that he had made some progress.

But the slightly shy feeling I had when I was young hasn’t emerged yet.

"Hey, Jielun brother, this scene is good. How about we try eating some instant noodles in between lines?"

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

"I remember how shy I felt when I was young, and then I wondered how my idol could be like this. I felt a little wronged and angry."

Jie Lun nodded silently and digested Cheng Xi's words.

After a moment, he gave an "ok" gesture.

So the next scene continued filming.

After filming, the two didn't see each other for a while.

So Cheng Xi took Jie Lun around for a walk to welcome him.

But the schedule is really tight.

The next afternoon, Jieren left in a hurry.

The two exchanged their best wishes: "I wish Director Cheng/Director Zhou's movie a big hit at the box office."

"Ka! I declare that the filming of 'Charlotte's Troubles' has officially wrapped!"

November 11st, it took 21 days, which was much faster than the previous plan of two and a half months.

Cheng Xi's second film "Charlotte's Troubles" has finally finished filming.

This is also the first time that Reba plays the leading role in a movie.

She seemed even more excited than Cheng Xi.

Everyone in the Mahua department also felt like they were dreaming.

So this is what making a movie is all about.

It turns out that a movie has been completed.

It's not like a drama, which is performed every day and repeated tomorrow.

There's no big feeling about the beginning or the end.

Just like working day after day, I've gotten used to it.

When the director announced the completion of filming, Shen Teng and Ma Li were already hugging each other and crying.

They are the most confident in this film.

Because they know how many times the audience laughed when they came to see the play.

How refined the lines in this script are.

What they lack is an opportunity from a director like Mr. Zuibai.

"Everyone, don't be sad or upset, you should be happy!"

Cheng Xi is already an experienced director and is used to the start and end of filming.

Although it is inevitable to be sad.

"This is just our first attempt at Mahua. I believe that there will be more and more movies and opportunities for everyone in the future!"

"Let's applaud ourselves together for completing our first movie in our lives!"

In an instant, everyone's sad mood was slightly diluted by Cheng Xi's words.

They all applauded themselves, others and the crew.

"Thank you, director!"

"Thank you, Director Cheng!"

Everyone thanked Cheng Xi one by one and came forward to hug him.

After filming the movie, the Mahua group returned to the theater to continue performing dramas.

Cheng Xi also returned to the company and began to arrange the post-production of the new movie.

I have to worry about editing, dubbing, music, reshoots, publicity, etc.

Cheng Xi has high hopes for this movie.

The next key issue to consider is the release date.

Cheng Xi knows that there are many big-name movies during the Spring Festival.

Including Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the box office broke the record of Chinese-language films.

It’s not that Cheng Xi doesn’t have the confidence to compete with Stephen Chow, it’s just that the box office pool is limited now.

People will definitely not let themselves down and change gears.

And now for post-production, even if it is done quickly, it will take about 20 days.

Therefore, Cheng Xi is currently considering releasing the film during the Christmas and New Year's Day periods.

If it is well managed, it might even be able to be released during the Spring Festival on February 2013, 2.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xi immediately called Li Wentao in.

Make detailed arrangements for what's next.

Get ready for the box office!
