Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 151 School Examination
Perhaps he was a little drunk, the bearded man stared at Hu Xiaobei with a burning gaze, and there was a testing look in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then straightened his posture and asked seriously, "Xiaobei, tell us, how do you plan to proceed with our next filming plan?"

As he spoke, his lips trembled slightly, and he was already a little unsteady. It was obvious that under the influence of alcohol, his words had not been thought through.

Hu Xiaobei sat on the chair, his body slightly leaning forward, his back straight, a calm smile on his face, confidence and determination in his eyes, like a standing pine tree.

He responded calmly, “Big-picture matters like the shooting schedule still have to be decided by you big guys.

However, according to previous shooting progress estimates, it is expected that the crew will be able to complete all shooting work successfully before May Day.

Speaking of filming for Little Dragon Girl, the main locations this time included the ancient tomb, Xiangyang City, and the Valley of Unrequited Love."

After saying that, he paused slightly, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, he picked up the drink cup and took a sip, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.

The bearded man shook his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to be staring at him, motioning him to continue.

Hu Xiaobei put down his drink, folded his hands on the table, and then said in an orderly manner: "At first, I developed a conventional shooting sequence for Xiaolongnu, but after the trip to the ancient tomb this afternoon, I think some adjustments can be made.

We can start filming in the Unrequited Valley first. For example, the banyan tree forest here is a great place.

After all, it's the largest artificial banyan tree forest in the country, with a unique style and innovative ideas. This will be a big attraction for tomorrow's filming."

The bearded man nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth caused his beard to rise unconsciously, which coincided with his thoughts.

He crossed his arms over his chest and asked deliberately, "What about Xiaolongnu's scenes in the ancient tomb? How do you plan to arrange them?"

Hu Xiaobei keenly caught the subtle change in the bearded man's expression.

He looked calm, his eyes revealing calmness and rationality, and he answered calmly: "The filming of the ancient tomb still depends on its construction progress and can be adjusted flexibly.

If the tomb is successfully completed by then, we will shoot the scenes inside the tomb first.

If it is not built yet, we will shoot the scenes of the martial arts conference and the battle of Xiangyang City first.

The ancient tomb is a key place for the development of the relationship between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, and there are many key plots in it.

Taking into account the characteristics of dim lighting and cramped space in ancient tombs, professional lighting equipment can be added inside the tombs to improve lighting conditions.

In addition, when shooting, you can use multiple angles and multiple camera positions to make up for the space limitations."

Hu Xiaobei had just finished speaking when someone suddenly interrupted and asked, "What do you think about the fighting scenes and atmosphere creation?" The voice was sharp and piercing, breaking the originally harmonious atmosphere.

Hu Xiaobei looked in the direction of the voice and found a stranger face he had never seen before. He thought it was Wang Zhongsong that Zhou Xiaowen had mentioned to him before.

Wang Zhongsong was seen sitting with his back leaning in his seat, wearing a well-tailored British-style suit with an exquisitely shaped brooch pinned to his collar.

A head of long hair that looks well-groomed, parted in the 3:7 ratio, with the ends slightly curled up. It looks quite delicate at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see that the roots of the hair are greasy and mixed with a lot of dandruff.

He even applied a thin layer of foundation on his face, but it still couldn't hide his sallow and loose skin. He also had heavy dark circles under his eyes, revealing a sense of fatigue from excessive indulgence.

The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose should have added a touch of elegance, but his eyes behind the lenses were cloudy and lifeless, his gaze wandering, and he would glance downwards from time to time, with an inexplicable sense of lust in his eyes.

A pair of thin lips were lightly pursed, the color was light and dry and cracked, and the corners of the mouth were habitually slightly raised, forcing a seemingly gentle smile, but this smile did not reach the eyes at all, instead it revealed a sense of hypocrisy and calculation.

When he smiles, he reveals a mouthful of yellow and rotten teeth, giving people a strong sense of contrast between a golden exterior and a rotten interior.

As he spoke, his body began to lean forward, his back unconsciously hunched, his hands casually placed on his thighs, rubbing them restlessly, and he looked very weak and lifeless.

This person's origin is "unknown", but he was specially instructed by Big Beard to be placed in the crew for training, and was directly given the position of assistant director when he arrived.

Many of the older crew members disliked him, but for the sake of the bearded man, they couldn't say much. Hu Xiaobei frowned slightly, then gradually relaxed, but he didn't respond directly.

Instead, he turned his head and looked at the martial arts instructor Zhao Tianba who was sitting diagonally opposite him. The two smiled at each other and nodded tacitly.

Seeing this, Wang Zhongsong's face instantly turned gloomy, and the corners of his mouth, which were originally upturned, drooped unconsciously. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and a dissatisfied chuckle came from his throat.

His heart was burning with anger, and he secretly clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.

He never thought that he would be ignored by Hu Xiaobei, a small-time figure who was only a consultant in name only and an assistant in reality. This was a naked provocation to him.

He gnashed his teeth in his heart and thought: "How dare a mere assistant disrespect me like this.

I, Wang Zhongsong, run Zongheng Floral Company, and I'm not a pushover. Just wait and see. Sooner or later, I'll make you pay a heavy price for your actions today."

But because the bearded man was present, he couldn't lose his temper. He could only suppress his anger and stare at Hu Xiaobei with resentment.

Hu Xiaobei doesn't care what Wang Zhongsong thinks.

He laughed self-deprecatingly, deliberately using lines from Wong Fei-hung, and jokingly said, "With our brothers from the Da Ping Hao here, how can an outsider like me have the right to worry about this? Will I still be able to live as a human being in the future?"

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Tianba again, raised the drink cup in his hand, lifted it slightly, then took a big sip, and his throat made a "gurgling" sound.

Seeing that Hu Xiaobei was giving him such face and mentioned his masterpiece, Zhao Tianba cooperated by raising his glass and drinking it all in one gulp. The wine flowed down his throat with a "gulp" sound.

Hu Xiaobei put down his drink, sat up straight, his eyes gleaming with confidence, and said confidently: "We have the top professional martial arts instructors in the industry, these are not a problem.

I believe that Mr. Zhao will carefully design each fight scene to ensure the smoothness and visual appeal of the action, making the audience's blood boil."

Hearing this, Wang Zhongsong curled his lips into a disdainful sneer.

He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose with his hand, a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, and his body twisted restlessly in his seat.

He also deliberately coughed a few times to try to attract everyone's attention, as if to imply that he also had unique insights.

But it was blatantly ignored by everyone.

The bearded man didn't even look at Wang Zhongsong, but nodded with satisfaction. "Well said. What about the actors' roles?"

The fat on his face began to tremble, but fortunately it was covered by his beard and was not obvious at all.

Hu Xiaobei smiled slightly, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself: Could it be that this bearded man is really drunk?

He shook his head, clearing his mind, and said slowly, "I don't know about the others, but the role of Xiaolongnu played by An Xiaoqian...

I think Xiaolongnu’s appearance scene can be moved to the last scene and filmed as her final scene.

In this way, An Xiaoqian can better integrate into the role during the filming process, and gradually deepen her understanding of Xiaolongnu as the plot progresses.

By the time she shoots the last scene, she will definitely be able to interpret the role of Xiaolongnu to the fullest, and amaze everyone as soon as she appears.

Of course, all of this still requires adjustments to be made in accordance with the crew's overall filming arrangements."

A relieved smile appeared on the bearded man's face, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

The idea of ​​Xiaolongnu's final scene coincided with his previous thoughts.

Could it be that... great minds think alike?
