Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 255 Can I Still Film If My Voice Is Hoarse?

The original work of the drama "Three Lives Three Worlds" cost more than 1 million yuan, which could be said to be well-produced among the fairy tale dramas at that time.

It's on the same level as "Empress of China" among palace fighting dramas and can compete with it.

Zuibai Entertainment and several other companies invested a total of 6000 million yuan, and the plot was compressed from 58 episodes to 50 episodes.

The cost of shooting a single episode is 120 million, which is the highest total investment amount among this batch of TV series.

So we invited veteran director Zhang Ming back to direct.

The two had previously had an in-depth discussion on the shooting method, costumes, props, and general plot.

Of course, Cheng Xi was still a little worried, so the first project he visited was "Eternal Love".

Fairy idol dramas are very popular, and the fact that two beauties from the Western Regions play the leading and second female roles is a big attraction.

Since Zhu Yilong was filming "So Young", the role of the male lead was given to Mark Chao.

Of course, his salary was also kept very low.

The other company also gave Zuibai Entertainment some resources, which could be considered an exchange.

After Reba finished filming the wire-hanging scene, she immediately saw Cheng Xi who had come to the crew.

Zhang Mingzhong: "Director, it's already 3 o'clock. How about calling it a day and taking a break?"

Zhang Mingzhong still maintained his previous habit and called Cheng Xi director.

"You're the director now. I'm here to visit the set, so I won't delay filming. Just take a break."

"I just happened to be watching from the side."

So Zhang Mingzhong announced that the entire crew would take a half-hour break.

"elder brother!"

Reba untied the wire and ran to the outside immediately after hearing the director say to take an hour break.

With a smile on his face, he gave Cheng Xi a big hug.

Then he whispered:

"I miss you so much."

Cheng Xi also patted Reba's back happily:

"Brother misses you too."

Since the two of them traveled to the Western Regions, Reba sometimes directly calls her brother in public.

In her words, "I can't control myself at all. I wish the whole world knew that you are my brother."

The last photo of the two of them at the airport was also posted online.

The sight of the two of them holding hands seemingly halfway also sparked a lot of discussion.

Some netizens think they are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Some fans feel heartbroken and it would be great if both of them were single.

Cheng Xi clearly felt that Reba's pursuit of relationships had taken a step forward.

After the two hugged each other briefly and separated, Cheng Xi saw many people looking at them.

Nazha, Huang Mengying, Tan Songyun, Mao Xiaotong, etc., because there is a group scene today.

So many people in the crew are already in place.

When Cheng Xi saw Mao Xiaotong's outfit, his eyes lit up.

The light pink top and light green tassel skirt, especially her smile and demeanor.

This is much sweeter than Li Yitong.

And Mao Xiaotong also seemed to catch Cheng Xi's fleeting glance.

He quickly lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Cheng Xi smiled and continued to sweep around calmly.

Looking at everyone's curious and gossipy eyes, I even felt a little envious of Reba and Cheng Xi's expressions.

Cheng Xi paused and said in a loud voice:

"Everyone has worked so hard. I want to thank you all on behalf of the company for coming back to work so early after the New Year."

"For this reason, I also brought some small gifts for everyone. After work tonight, Director Zhang and I will treat the entire crew to a big dinner!"

Only then did everyone react in a daze.

This is not Reba’s boyfriend or some young man coming to visit the crew, but he came to the crew as the boss and producer.

So they immediately applauded and welcomed him, shouting "The boss is so generous."

After asking how they were doing, Cheng Xi asked the staff to distribute the supplies and small gifts brought by the visit to everyone.

First exploration of the new year, just a few words to share.

Rebana and the others' things were given to them by Cheng Xi himself. One of them was wearing a white dress, and the other was wearing a pink dress.

The tied-up bun and the red mark on the forehead really make people feel like an immortal.

It's obvious that the crew of "Three Lives Three Worlds" put a lot of thought into the light makeup, and it does have a fairy-like feel.

"There will be a scene between you two later?"

"Well, the next one is it."

"Then I have to observe carefully to see who performs better. Is Nazha confident?" Seeing Cheng Xi point at her, Nazha nodded seriously.

"I'm not as good as my senior sister, but I will try my best."

The two beauties are really cute in their own ways.

Cheng Xi stayed on the crew all afternoon. Nazha's acting skills have indeed improved a lot compared to "The Empress of China".

It can be seen that some thought was put into it.

It was worth it that the company carefully arranged a teacher to train her, but of course personal guidance is also very important.

The crew didn't finish work until after seven in the evening.

Cheng Xi had already arranged a dinner as a reward for everyone.

We hadn't been in the group long, so this was a good opportunity for everyone to get familiar with each other.

It will also be beneficial to the progress of subsequent filming.

Not long after Cheng Xi returned to the hotel, Reba came over.

Having not seen each other for a long time, the two of them are of course feeling like newlyweds.

It started to get loud and noisy.

"Brother, have I become stronger?"

"Is it acting or practical?"

"Huh, of course I'm asking about acting!"

"Naza is almost catching up with me in acting, but I've made a lot of progress in practical skills."

"Brother, did you just go to see Nazha this afternoon?"

When Cheng Xi heard Reba talking about Nazha, he couldn't help but be petrified again.

But how could he let the conversation turn to this?

He slapped the drum.

There was a sound of "pa".

"Still calling me brother?"

"Mm-hmm, be gentle, Daddy."

If I were to say before that Reba is still in the early stages.

So Cheng Xi was deliberately gentle.

But now it has been debugged almost completely, and I haven't seen it for a while.

If Cheng Xi wasn't more courageous, he would be scolded.

So he started to behave like a non-human being.

"Who lives in the room next to me?"

"I'm not sure, it seems to be Xiaotong."

"Is the soundproofing good here?"

"The soundproofing is pretty good."

Hearing that the soundproofing was okay, Cheng Xi sighed that Zhang Mingzhong was still good at choosing hotels.

Unlike Tomorrow's Star, the sound insulation is just average.

Seeing Reba biting her lips, Cheng Xi became angry.

"It's soundproof, so just make the most of it, okay?"

"How can I perform if you don't call me daddy?"

So Cheng Xi was deeply immersed in the loud shouts of "Ba Ba".

afterwards.

Cheng Xi heard Reba's voice and said jokingly:
"Your throat is a little hoarse. Can you still film tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Reba jumped up.

Shouted: "It's all my brother's fault."

Then he heard his own voice again, and he couldn't help but worry again, and said in a hoarse voice:
"What are we going to do about filming tomorrow?"

This is what Cheng Xi said:
"Wait a minute, I'll go downstairs and buy you some throat lozenges."

So he changed his clothes and went out.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Mao Xiaotong when I entered the elevator.

Wearing a down jacket, she looks cute even during the day.

She was looking down to take out a pink mask from her pocket, preparing to take it apart and put it on.

Cheng Xi suddenly remembered that he didn’t bring a mask with him when he went out.

It’s different now than before. People recognize me wherever I go.

So he asked:

"Xiaotong, do you still have a mask?"
