Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 309: No One Sleeps That Night (5K)

"I can let you go, but beg me."

"Ball Ball"

Looking at Li Yitong's watery eyes, Cheng Xi raised the corners of his mouth:
"Will you come again tomorrow?"

"No, come again."

After hearing the satisfactory answer, Cheng Xi was content and let Li Yitong go.

There is still a long time to shoot, so it will take time.

It is very joyful to train a sweet girl, but Cheng Xi doesn't want to be like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.

I swallowed it without even tasting it.

That's a waste of money.

After letting her go, the two discussed the script again, and this time Cheng Xi broke it into pieces and fed it to Li Yitong.

This period should be considered the best stage for training actors.

Whether as a boss or a director, Cheng Xi is aware of this responsibility.

For the reading session the next morning, everyone arrived at the hotel conference room early.

As expected, Stephen Chow asked Li Yitong the same question from yesterday again.

And when he heard Li Yitong answering with Cheng Xi's analysis almost as he said.

Master Xing looked at Li Yitong with surprise and said:

"Yitong's analysis is quite good. I even didn't think of some of the details. It seems like he put in some real effort last night."

"Okay, Yuqi, tell us about the character of Ruolan."

Cheng Xi also looked at Zhang Yuqi at this time.

This person can be said to be the representative figure of female boxing in later times.

Cheng Xi scoffs at women's boxing. Japan and South Korea have both gone through this path, and the final result was a boomerang.

Everything you have done comes back to you.

The enemy of men and women is not each other. This is the most basic thing.

But no matter what, Zhang Yuqi is undoubtedly sexy.

And it has that big woman feeling.

This is something that even veteran driver Cheng Xi cannot deny.

Cheng Xi seemed to have the impression that her husband had a big hit this year.

This fully demonstrates that no matter how beautiful a wife is, she may have nothing to do with a man digging wild flowers.

But looking at her rosy face and the fact that she seemed to be in good condition, she probably didn't expect things to turn out this way.

"Director Cheng, Master Xing, this is what I think about the character of Ruolan"

Cheng Xi looked at her and listened to her voice, and felt that it was indeed out of place.

Even with my eyes closed, I couldn't imagine that this voice matched this appearance.

After two days of reading session.

Everyone has become more confident and confident about the script and their own roles.

And they all became familiar with each other.

So on December 6th.

Children's Day morning.

The crew of "The Mermaid" officially started filming in Shenzhen's East Lake Park.

Hong Kong filmmakers believe this more, so the opening ceremony of this film was made more grand than that of Cheng Xi’s previous films.

After all the ceremonies, the official shooting finally began!

Li Yitong also got used to coming to Cheng Xi's room every night to discuss with him the scenes to be filmed tomorrow.

In her words, after discussing with her boss, she felt at ease.

But she also knew that if she continued like this, it would become increasingly dangerous.

June 6, Nansha Yacht Club Villa.

This villa was chosen to be Liu Xuan's home shortly after the movie began.

Liu Xuan took photos of Qingluo Bay and hosted a banquet at his home for General Zheng, Ruolan, and the Fourth Master and his daughter.

That long shot and the momentum of the big guys appearing in the villa are really cool.

"Now we're filming President Zheng's appearance. Everyone, pay attention."

"action!"

I saw a group of security guards running out and forming a circle outside the villa.

There was someone below holding a pointer, welcoming something.

Cheng Xi looked at the screen and saw that the cameraman used a half-altitude bird's-eye view to shoot this scene.

What is used is actually General Zheng’s first-person perspective.

"Click. Next scene."

Then the camera switched to the shot of General Zheng landing.

Cheng Xi hired Wei Xiang to play the role of General Zheng.

His temperament is very suitable, and his acting skills are even better after years of polishing in drama.

Liu Xuan (Stephen Chow): "Mr. Zheng, are you so punctual today?"

Mr. Zheng (Wei Xiang): "I heard you bought Qingluo Bay and opened a 90 Chateau Conti. I must be there on time for once!"

Cheng Xi watched Stephen Chow's performance on the monitor.

A treat indeed.

He is indeed a talented actor in the eyes of everyone.

When Stephen Chow was acting in the movie "The Mermaid", it was directed by Cheng Xi.

But Stephen Chow has a habit of not only acting in his own films.

He also acts in other people's plays, and almost teaches the actors how to act step by step.

Whether it is the main actor, supporting role, or even an extra who only appears for one second.

Whenever he sees something wrong on the monitor, he will go up and demonstrate it in person.

No wonder many people on Stephen Chow’s set were unhappy and called him a tyrant.

His classic interview also shows why.

"You work so hard, so someone must be unhappy."

“Why would others be unhappy if you’re serious?”

"You shoot a scene multiple times, and there are always NGs. Guess what, will everyone be unhappy if you do this over and over again?"

Cheng Xi watched Stephen Chow running around and dancing on the set, and thought to himself:
No wonder many characters in Stephen Chow’s movies don’t seem so vivid when they are separated from his movies.

It turns out that many of the roles were not played by him himself, but by Stephen Chow.

The actor who can perform a different feeling may be an old actor like Uncle Da.

Only then can it be considered as a rival role.

Mr. Zheng (Wei Xiang): "Ruolan is definitely losing money by buying Qingluo Bay. It's to drive up the surrounding housing prices. What's the hair around you? Do you have hair? You don't have a hair at all."

Ruolan (Zhang Yuqi): "Boss Liu is going to treat us to Romandee-Conti tonight. If you keep doing this, she won't treat us."

Fourth Master (Uncle Tat): "Ruolan, you're just kicking someone when they're down. I estimate Xiao Liu's project will cost him over 20 billion, and he's inflated our market price, allowing us to profit a ridiculous 30 billion. And we're still drinking his wine that costs over 1 million yuan a bottle! Aren't we beasts?"

The Fourth Master gave Liu Xuan a thumbs-up:
"You are burning yourself to light us. You are a great man!"

Cheng Xi: "Click. Actors, please take a break."

At this time, Stephen Chow also came to the monitor to see the shooting effect of this dialogue scene.

Stephen Chow: "Can you shave a little bit off the middle of Wei Xiang's hair?"

Cheng Xi knew Stephen Chow's style on the set.

If it weren't for the fact that Wei Xiang was his friend, he would have just let him put on makeup without asking any questions.

Just look at the actors he brought in.

It's almost what he says.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xi called Wei Xiang over.

Wei Xiang’s current popular role is the football coach in "The Richest Tomato".

It hasn’t been released yet.

The script is still being polished.

Therefore, the crew of "The Mermaid" was extremely excited to be able to work with Stephen Chow and Stephen Chow.

He thought that at his age, he had no hope of acting and would probably just play small roles for the rest of his life.

Hearing the director's request, he quickly said as if to assure:

"No problem, not to mention the hair in the middle, even shaving it all off is fine."

Wei Xiang is showing some signs of baldness now, but it is not that obvious yet.

Cheng Xi: "When saying this line, I suggest changing the action of pointing at Liu Xuan to stroking one's own hair."

Stephen Chow thought about the time when General Zheng stroked his hair and said, "Do you have any hair? You don't have any at all."

"Okay, that's a good idea. Let's do it again with this move later."

Wei Xiang: "Okay, Director."

After finishing the indoor scenes of the villa, we quickly took the time to shoot the scenes of the swimming pool outside the villa.

To celebrate the capture of Qingluo Bay, the protagonist Liu Xuan invited many people.

Of course, there was also a group of models creating an atmosphere.

This is also a party custom.

Cheng Xi sometimes holds celebration banquets, and his subordinates also like this trick.

After all, who doesn’t like beautiful women, and they look lively.

It can really liven up the atmosphere.

And the price of appearance is just a drop in the bucket for rich people.

Not to mention that when a director of Cheng Xi's caliber holds a celebration party, everyone would want to grab it for free.

This kind of scene is like the feeling of the Hai Tian Sheng Yan.

It can also reflect Liu Xuan's personality.

Judging from the quality of the model group that appeared today, it is obvious that the assistant casting director put a lot of thought into it.

They all have great figures.

Among them, there are a few that even Cheng Xi thinks are pretty good.

Especially the girl who is nearly 1.8 meters tall.

Cheng Xi then asked Assistant Director Lu Zhengyu, "Who is the third person on Stephen Chow's left?"

"Well, it should be the model group brought by Sister Yang. I will go ask them now."

Lu Zhengyu was very observant and asked quickly.

"Her name is Sun Yihan. She said she participated in a modeling competition and won third place. She's considered Sister Yang's trump card."

Cheng Xi nodded:
"Oh, I see."

"Attention all departments, prepare to film."

"action!"

After asking, Cheng Xi immediately entered the shooting state.

That night, model Sun Yihan's information appeared on the desk in Cheng Xi's suite.

(Height comparison chart: taller than Wang Yibo, half a head taller than Chaoyue.)
6 month 7 day.

The crew started filming the underwater scenes.

Nearly one-third of the play "The Mermaid" is related to water.

So the crew had already booked a swimming pool and asked the set design team to come and set up the scene half a month in advance.

Now it's finally time to shoot.

It seems that everyone is wearing a swimsuit on the upper body and prop pants with striped belts on the lower body.

Cheng Xi couldn't help but laugh.

Without the mermaid tail special effect, it does look quite awkward.

Fortunately, the weather in Shenzhen has started to get hot, so filming in the water is not a torture.

If it was the same as the original film, shooting underwater scenes in winter would cause all the actors to catch colds.

That's fatal.

6 month 25 day.

The underwater scenes of "The Mermaid" are more than halfway through.

Li Yitong's acting skills gradually improved under the guidance of Cheng Xi at night and Stephen Chow during the day.

I gradually found the feeling of a mermaid entering the secular world for the first time.

The drama version of "Detective Chinatown" has been finalized, and the preparation of the cast has begun with Zhang Tianai as the main character.

The filming of "Duds" began.

The crew of "My Sweetheart, Come and Eat" has finished filming and started post-production editing and other work.

During the filming, Cheng Xi would check his email about once every three or four days.

Learn about the latest developments of major projects.

7 month 1 day.

Cheng Xi left the crew and returned to school to attend the graduation ceremony.

Reba and Nazha had been waiting for her at the school gate.

Reba was wearing a bachelor's gown, and Nazha was wearing denim hot pants and flip-flops, and was holding an umbrella for Reba.

This time, Nazha also took leave from the crew of "Love O2O".

After all, it was the day when her dear senior brothers and sisters both graduated.

I must come and be your follower.

The two of them arrived a day earlier than him. Seeing how loving they were to each other, Cheng Xi really wanted to ask about the progress of Nazha's strategy last night.

"Brother, you're finally back. Come with me to take graduation photos!"

"Brother, here, this is the bachelor's gown Sister Xinran picked up for you after you signed up. She also asked me to ask how your representative speech is going, as the graduation ceremony will be held tomorrow."

Now his squad leader Luo Xinran also works at Zuibai Entertainment.

Gradually, I got to know Rebana and others.

"Thank you, my Zhan Wu Zha, and thank the squad leader for me. But as for the speech, you can just open your mouth and say it."

Ermei: "Tsk~"

Cheng Xi is indeed shameless and doesn't care.

In no time, he put on his bachelor's gown in front of Ermei.

You know what, it’s really hot.

Then he directly pulled up Reba and Nazha and said: "Come on, brother will take you to take beautiful graduation photos."

After all, the official graduation ceremony is tomorrow. After Cheng Xi finishes his speech, many classmates will probably want to take photos with him, so he probably won’t have much time to spend with Ermei.

Today, Cheng Xi had already arranged for a top photography team to take graduation photos for himself and Reba.

Even Jin Chen has this treatment, let alone Reba.

They are all good players who were transferred here.

Cheng Xi took Reba to take pictures of all the check-in spots in the college.

Then we also took a lot of photos of the memorable places the two of them had visited.

Along the way, I also saw many graduates from the same class, who were also taking beautiful photos.

At this time, the younger students from the directing department and photography department began to become popular.

I received various filming invitations and took the opportunity to leave a memory of my campus youth for my graduating seniors.

Cheng Xi and others also met many acquaintances and took a few photos with them.

It can be seen that everyone was quite happy taking graduation photos.

But the sweat really kept flowing down.

Zhan Wuzha was directing Cheng Xi on what moves to make to cooperate, which made Cheng Xi start glaring at Nazha.

"Hehe, Senior Brother, today you are just a prop!"

"Hey, brother, hold on a little longer!"

After Reba finished speaking, she secretly kissed Cheng Xi.

This scene was also captured by Zuibai Entertainment's professional photographer.

If I don't take a picture of this, my boss will deduct my salary when I get back!

After a day of being a human prop.

Cheng Xi finally understood why boys didn't like taking photos.

One place, countless actions and expressions.

After a lot of clicking, it still needs to be refined.

Finally, I posted the picture on my Moments.

Even Cheng Xi, the director, found it troublesome.

He still likes to use his mobile phone to record his beautiful life in a purely natural way.

Smiling face.jpg
However, as the sun sets, Cheng Xi looks at the two beauties beside him bathed in golden sunlight.

At that moment, all the tiredness was swept away.

She happily hugged the girls on both sides and joined the two-person camp.

This can also be considered a three-person photo shoot, right?

7 month 2 day.

Film Academy Graduation Ceremony.

"Dear parents, teachers, and students, I am honored to speak at this ceremony today as a representative of the graduates."

"I had promised everyone that I would share some gossip about my filming at the graduation ceremony. But at this moment, I feel that the time I spent at the academy is the most precious."

"Four years have flown by in a flash. The naivety of entering campus seems like just yesterday. The four years at the Film Academy have been the happiest and most unforgettable four years of my life. If I could, I wish I had remained a university student forever."

"Here, I would like to express my special thanks to Reba and Nazha; to Professor Cao Jinnan and Vice Dean Yu Jianhong; to all the teachers and students in the Department of Management; and to the college for its support and training."

“Graduation is a new beginning, separation is for a better reunion, and the Film Academy is our eternal home.”

"Finally, I wish the Class of 2014 and my dear classmates a bright future and a fearless future!"

Reba, Nazha and their classmates were all listening to Cheng Xi's speech.

When I first heard that Cheng Xi was going to tell gossip, I couldn't help laughing.

But later I couldn’t help feeling a little sad when I heard Cheng Xi say, “Graduation is a new beginning, separation is for a better reunion, and the Film Academy is our eternal home.”

This sentence is deeply understood by everyone, especially the graduates who are about to face the society.

After Cheng Xi finished speaking, there was continuous applause from the audience.

After the graduation ceremony, Cheng Xi’s classmates came to take photos with him.

They simply treated Cheng Xi as a mascot and fought over him.

We all know that we are about to graduate and there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future.

Not to mention Nazha, Chen Xinxuan, Yang Caiyu and others, who all rushed over to give Cheng Xi graduation gifts.

Academic Bear, White Rose, Sunflower
When four tall beauties from Meng Ziyi's dormitory came to Cheng Xi with gifts,
That scene made all the students and teachers in the Management Department envious.

But he is truly a young and promising person.

Cheng Xi had no choice but to spread his hands and let Deng Jie help him pick up a few things first.

He only took photos with Nazha's white roses.

But his roommates, who are both talented and capable, don't care about that.

They simply divided the gift that Cheng Xi couldn't get among themselves.

Pretend that I also have a girl who gave me a graduation gift.

"This is called common prosperity, Director Cheng!"

"Hahahaha, just kidding, this was given to me by my schoolmate Ziyi, it smells so good!"

Cheng Xi: “.”

If the photos taken with Reba yesterday were of a sweet and aesthetic style.

Then today's photo with Crouching Dragon and Phoenix is ​​pure nonsense.

Various non-mainstream abstract movements are performed everywhere!
This made Cheng Xi laugh and cry.

But he soon got into the state. After all, who is not a young man?
Will you become greasy if you become a boss?

So by the end of the shoot, everyone was a little exhausted.

Originally, Cheng Xi wanted to continue sleeping with Ermei tonight.

But I'm afraid tonight will be the last time I sleep with the Dragon and the Phoenix.

So I just went back to the dormitory obediently.

These friends of four years are about to face separation.

They talked a lot that night.

Women, years, youth, regrets and the future
No one slept.

　Sincerely thank you for the 10000 Qidian coins reward from Wanshiruyi! !
