Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 308 Sweet girl is not only sweet, but also soft (5k)

A few days later, Reba's graduation drama was held as scheduled.

Because this year's class includes well-known actors such as Dilireba, Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan.

So it was really hard to get a ticket that night.

When Cheng Xi appeared in the Bishop's Auditorium, the hall instantly became lively.

Everyone was applauding wildly to welcome this legendary alumnus.

This is more exciting than the visit of school leaders.

One is to be able to meet the legendary senior brother, and the other is that Cheng Xi is now the chairman of Zuibai Entertainment.

Today, the manager of Zuibai Entertainment’s artist department also came with people to select actors.

So, if Cheng Xi values ​​you, won’t you soar to great heights?
"Hello everyone, I'm Cheng Xi. I'm honored to be the announcer for the 10 Acting Department's graduation play, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.'"

As soon as Cheng Xi paused, there was a thunderous applause from the audience.

"Thank you everyone, but I still have to continue announcing the show."

There was laughter below.

"A Midsummer Night's Dream is a classic work by Shakespeare and one of my favorite comedies."

"We Chinese have an old saying that lovers will eventually marry, but now I think there's a more romantic way to say it: I'd like you to tell me a 'Midsummer Night's Dream.'"

"Now, let's invite the Class 10 Acting students to create the most romantic love dream for us!"

Cheng Xi's announcement was unusually simple, because he already felt that he had stolen the limelight from the acting department.

It’s better to announce the curtain call to Reba quickly and then go down.

After Cheng Xi finished his behind-the-scenes report, he sat in the front row to watch the show.

A large part of the cast are familiar faces.

The manager of Zuibai Entertainment's artist department was sitting behind Cheng Xi at this time.

Halfway through watching, Cheng Xi said:
"The actress who plays Helena is good, please sign her later."

The actress who plays Helena is none other than our old friend Snow White.

I have graduated, but I don’t have an entertainment company yet.

Zuibai Entertainment is currently in need of actors, so there is no problem in signing them.

It is a friendship signature.

As for Zhang Yishan and Yang Zi, there is no shortage of companies interested in them.

Qin Shiyue played a supporting role in the crew of "Women of the Dynasty".

Fan Binbin actually took a fancy to her and signed her to his studio.

So I don’t have to worry about it.

"Okay, boss, where are the others?"

"If you have any other names you like, just go through the normal approval process."

To be honest, from Cheng Xi's current perspective, the graduation drama certainly has many problems.

Cheng Xi can now recognize the good seedlings among them at a glance.

A common problem in film schools is that many actors are developing towards becoming stars.

His acting is okay when he gets the role, but it’s hard to perform if he doesn’t get the role that suits him.

After all, it’s because my professional knowledge is not solid enough.

This is indeed worse than the Central Academy of Drama.

However, this is also because the training mechanisms of the two schools are different. If you take on a role in your freshman or sophomore year at the Central Academy of Drama, your teacher will directly persuade you to drop out.

In film academies, students are encouraged to find roles on their own as early as possible.

Under such a mechanism, the former will naturally guide students to pay more attention to their professionalism and acting skills.

In Cheng Xi's view, these are two approaches.

There is no superior or inferior.

In the entertainment industry, talent is actually far less important than resources.

For example, if Zuibai Entertainment wants to promote someone now, even if you are not good-looking, they can still promote you.

Even if you are not a good director, you can still become a great director by assigning you a few good assistant directors, a good script and an IP.

Just look at Xiao Si and you will know. He can even say shamelessly that "he has his own directing system."

This is the same reason why capital continued to feed the shit later.

But the audience will also resist, and the result is that fewer and fewer people watch TV and go to the cinema.

After four years of training on the set, Reba's acting skills are obviously a level higher than her classmates.

The qualitative difference can be clearly seen through the expressions and the interpretation of the lines.

"The eldest princess has made some progress. It's not in vain that all the time and resources spent on her training have gone to waste."

After watching the graduation drama of Reba and others, Cheng Xi treated Reba and the other actors to a meal.

Everyone also knew that Cheng Xi treated everyone to a meal out of Reba's kindness.

So when we have dinner together, we always talk to Reba.

After all, Cheng Xi's status was different at this time, and most of them were still students.

Or an artist who just debuted.

I have a natural awe for the big bosses in the entertainment industry.

So apart from Yang Zi and Bai Xue from Reba's dormitory, no one took the initiative to come to me and toast me.

If you are brave enough to find yourself, your attitude will be very humble.

After we graduate, we are no longer students.

After the graduation drama this time.

All that’s left for everyone is to attend the graduation ceremony and get their diplomas.

The thesis defense was completed in early May.

Basically, they are social people.

Cheng Xi's treat can be considered as an advance wish for everyone a happy graduation.

That night, Cheng Xi felt that Reba was not in a very good mood.

Although I chatted and laughed with my classmates, I also drank a lot of beer.

After the dinner, Cheng Xi took Reba’s hand and walked around the campus with her.

"Is it because you've graduated and you can't bear to leave?"

"Well, actually, I still want to go to graduate school with my brother."

"It's okay. Zuibai Studio won't be moving for the time being. It's almost the same as if you were still in school after graduation."

"Yeah, but my roommates are all gone, and my classmates have all gone their separate ways. I envy my brother for still being a student."

After hearing this, Cheng Xi felt a little sad.

Yes, I also have to say goodbye to a group of classmates.

"It's okay, even if they leave, brother will always be with you."

"Then brother must keep his word and never change his mind for the rest of his life."

"Then let's pull the hook!"

Cheng Xi suddenly stopped and extended his little finger towards Reba.

This scene reminded Reba of her freshman year when she and Cheng Xi made a pinky promise to be “better than her brother.”

Cheng Xi said that he wanted to be the producer of "My Love from the Star" for her.

Yes, as long as he remains unchanged by my side, I will not be afraid of any changes in the world.

Thinking of this, my mood suddenly improved.

Smiling, he said to his brother:
"Okay, we'll make a promise and stick to it for a hundred years."

On May 5, Cheng Xi and Stephen Chow arrived in Shenzhen.

The main arrangement for these two days is the script reading session.

When Cheng Xi saw Uncle Da coming, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

He quickly went up to shake hands.

"Hello, Uncle Da."

"Hello, Director Cheng."

"I grew up watching Uncle Tat's movies. Now that you're joining me, The Mermaid will definitely be even more exciting."

"Director Cheng, you're too polite. I've watched all your movies recently. The young generation is truly formidable!"

The two exchanged pleasantries, and then the staff took Uncle Da to check into the hotel.

Although it was just a brief contact.

But Cheng Xi may have a good impression of Uncle Da because of the filter.

Looking at Uncle Da's back, Cheng Xi silently wished Uncle Da good health.

Then in the afternoon, all the main actors were in place.

The script reading session officially began.

Stephen Chow took the lead in analyzing the role himself and also had a thorough discussion with Cheng Xi.

And send the biographies of the characters you wrote to everyone.

"The character Liu Xuan grew up in poverty, so he vowed to work hard to make money. As a result, he is unscrupulous in business competition and likes to take risks."

"But he still recalls his happiest time as a child. The love his parents gave him was abundant and also one of the sources of energy for his struggle."

"Director Cheng, what do you think?"

The original work was written by Cheng Xi, and Stephen Chow certainly respects his opinion.

Cheng Xi: "I think Mr. Xing's analysis is correct."

"I'd like to add one more thing. Liu Xuan is eager for love. Because he's young and can't find love, he probably has a secret crush on someone who has that first love look."

"So he later fell in love with the heroine, because the heroine's innocence made him feel like he was back in his school days, and he had a strong need to make up for his regrets."

Stephen Chow: "Yes, let me add this point, which also explains why I look at the heroine differently later on."

After Stephen Chow took the lead, everyone started to do the same.

The second one is Li Yitong.

But it is obvious that Li Tong's understanding of the role is not yet in place.

Stephen Chow: "Yitong, can I ask why the character Shanshan gave up on killing him after winning the game?"

Li Yitong: "Because...she already has a crush on the male lead."

When Stephen Chow heard this, he glanced at Cheng Xi and said:

"The male protagonist doesn't have anything special about her, so why does he like her?"

"Besides, Shanshan is a fish. She has just entered the world and has no idea what love is."

"Go back and think about it carefully."

This made Li Yitong blush a little and feel a little nervous.

I didn’t expect Stephen Chow to be so direct.

Then Stephen Chow didn't say much, and everyone discussed the plot and the character of Shanshan for a while.

Zhang Yuqi, Luo Zhixiang and others were also asked to talk about their views and understanding of the roles.

Even tried out the key lines.

Finally, at around 6 o'clock in the evening, today's script reading session came to an end.

Stephen Chow: "Everyone, go home tonight and digest today's discussion. We will continue tomorrow morning."

Cheng Xi: "Everyone has worked hard, the food is ready in the banquet hall, let's eat first!"

The banquet hall arranged a buffet. During the meal, Li Yitong followed him.

He looked obviously a little absent-minded.

Maybe I felt that I performed the worst at the script reading just now.

This is not Li Yitong's fault. Her acting experience is the shortest and her life experience is not enough.

The first time she plays the leading role is in a big-budget movie with a big director and a big cast.

It's inevitable that it will be a little difficult at the beginning.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I just..."

"It's okay. It would be strange if you performed better than everyone else as soon as you arrived."

"Actors are developed slowly, there's still a long time to go, don't rush. But you have to be attentive."

Li Yitong nodded silently while eating.

After dinner, Li Yitong returned to the room and took out the script.

The scene where he and Liu Xuan were eating chicken in the amusement park and then gave up on killing him was repeated word for word.

I watched it several times.

A joint afternoon reading session and guidance from Stephen Chow.

Think hard about this:
Why did you give up on killing him?

Isn’t killing him the purpose of the mermaid Shanshan?
Because you're touched? Because you're kind-hearted?
That’s not right. Shanshan went to the company and attacked Liu Xuan before, but she failed.

Then Li Yitong continued to read other scenes to see if he could find the reason.

By 9 o'clock, there was still nothing.

Li Yitong was becoming more and more anxious.

She was already under a lot of pressure because she was the leading actress in this big drama.

Afraid of performing poorly.

This is an opportunity I have been waiting for three or four years.

The reading session will continue tomorrow morning, and Stephen Chow will definitely ask this question again.

In the end she had no choice.

The only way is to call my manager, Sister Feng, for help. Sister Feng is very experienced and should be able to give me a solution for tomorrow, right?

No matter what happens in the future, we have to deal with it tomorrow.

After listening to Li Yitong's long rambling, Sister Feng finally understood what she wanted to ask.

"Yitong, you are the one who is most confused. Let me ask you, who understands this story best?"

"Uh"

"Author! Is the boss's story original or adapted from the script? Why don't you just ask him more?"

"I'm afraid he'll think I'm stupid."

"Silly boy, since he chose you, he's probably waiting for you to ask him more questions. Go now, don't wait any longer."

With Sister Feng's analysis and encouragement, Li Yitong immediately wanted to knock on the boss's room door.

But looking at the pajamas she was wearing.

I suppressed the impulse and dressed myself up first.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Yitong rang Cheng Xi's doorbell.

Cheng Xi was just having a video call with Nazha.

Hearing the doorbell, he complained:
"Who is this? It's so late to disturb our world of two."

When Nazha heard that her senior brother was reluctant to hang up with her, she couldn't help but smile sweetly.

"Hehe, brother, go quickly, we'll video chat tomorrow."

"Okay, my Zaza is so good."

When I opened the door, I found it was Li Yitong.

Cheng Xi blinked. Is he trying to conquer me?

Still want to make progress?

But in the middle of the night, the heroine came knocking on the director's door. Isn't this destroying the innocence of Director Cheng?

So Cheng Xi pulled her in with righteous words.

After that, he stuck his head out and looked at both sides of the corridor.

Tch, no one.

Not interesting.

"Boss, I, I want to ask you about the script."

When Cheng Xi heard this, he realized that she was not here to take advantage of me.

But they came to learn from me.

"Is this the question Mr. Xing asked this afternoon?"

Stephen Chow’s question is actually very to the point.

Because the actor's understanding of this part determines her performance style.

According to Stephen Chow's nitpicking, he would definitely not allow actors to act recklessly without understanding their motives.

Other directors might not mind getting away with it like that, but Stephen Chow certainly can't.

Including myself, no one can pass.

Cheng Xi: "First of all, Shanshan wanted to kill him, otherwise she wouldn't have started at Liu Xuan's company."

Li Yitong: "But why do you regret it after eating chicken?"

Li Yitong didn't wear stockings this time.

Instead, she wore a black halter dress and had her hair tied into a bun.

A pair of small high-heeled sandals on her feet.

The toes were wiggling and had nail polish on them.

The overall look is elegant with a touch of temptation.

She sat quietly opposite me like this, and I felt like a young woman.

Cheng Xi didn't expect that Li Yitong could have this style.

So he stared at Li Yitong for a few times, especially the large area of ​​white skin exposed, and Cheng Xi felt very naughty.

"Come here and sit next to the boss."

After hearing what Cheng Xi said, Li Yitong shyly sat down on the sofa opposite.

Cheng Xi was dissatisfied, patted his legs, and said in a commanding tone:

"Come sit here!"

Li Yitong remembered the last time in the office.

After thinking about it, I decided that I didn't want to be too shy, so as to avoid regretting it when I got back.

So she sat on it with a blushing face.

Cheng Xi placed one hand on Li Yitong's leg and gently stroked it, saying:
"Do you think a killer would go to an amusement park with the person he wants to kill?"

Li Yitong was stunned. She had never thought about it from the perspective of identity.

She watched the entire drama, and her mind was filled with their love story.

To be honest, "The Mermaid" is more like a domineering president falling in love with me.

We can't say they are similar, we can only say that if you peel away the skin and take a look, they are exactly the same.

"No, is there something wrong with the logic of the script?"

Cheng Xi held his forehead, why did he feel that Li Yitong was a large-sized Zhan Wuza at this moment.

Will there be logical errors in my script?

After saying this, Li Yitong seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing.

This is the creator of Zuibai, my boss, how could there be such a logical error?

Cheng Xi flicked Li Yitong's head and said:

"Their identities haven't changed, but Shanshan has forgotten her identity as a killer, and Liu Xuan has also forgotten his identity as the CEO."

"Both of them returned to their true selves. They first played PUBG together, Liu Xuan reminisced about his childhood, how he burned a check, sang together and discovered his beard was fake, and then they played amusement rides together."

"In fact, during the first assassination attempt, Shanshan had already dispelled most of her hatred. Killing someone once is easy, but killing them twice is difficult, especially for Shanshan, who is already very kind-hearted."

Li Yitong seemed to have come to his senses and quickly said "oh oh" several times.

"So that's it."

"Yes, for example, right now, I'm the CEO, and Yi Tong, you're a killer. Are you willing to kill me twice?"

Li Yitong was in Cheng Xi's arms at this time. When she looked up, she saw Cheng Xi staring at her fiercely.

My heartbeat quickened again.

“I’m willing to give it up.”

Cheng Xi: “.”

My goodness, this guy is an ungrateful person who doesn’t know how to repay kindness.

Thinking of this, looking at the sexy and lovely beauty in my arms.

I couldn't hold back any longer and kissed her forcefully.

Li Yitong's eyes widened at first. She didn't expect the boss to be so direct and overbearing.

But gradually I became obedient.

Over the years, she has watched her boss grow bigger and bigger, from short dramas to now collaborating with Stephen Chow on "The Mermaid".

In addition to awe and admiration, I even fantasize about what might happen between me and my boss when it's late at night and everyone is asleep.

After all, he had seen him and Jin Chen in the izakaya, and he had also stood guard for him and Fan Binbin.

Thinking of the boss's heroic performance.

If you say that you have no thoughts in your mind, you are deceiving yourself.

It's just that I'm not ready yet.

Thinking of this, Li Yitong slowly cooperated with Cheng Xi.

Of course Cheng Xi is enjoying it now.

I didn’t expect that the sweet girl is not only sweet, but also soft.

Today, she looks even more tempting.

A sweet girl like this is really a plus.

Cheng Xi's hands were no longer honest at this time and were already heading towards the destination.

Li Yitong felt a surge of heat and immediately knew what the boss wanted to do.

So he held Cheng Xi's hand tightly.

Don't let him move forward even half an inch.

Otherwise, you will lose.

So Cheng Xi had to change direction.

Keep hesitating.

Yi Tong is so smooth and tender.

And it’s actually not small.

I still have some money on me.

"Well, boss, don't."
