This director is so innocent.
Chapter 59: The Beloved One
"Brother Jin, I'm still a little nervous, what should I do?"
Liu Shishi raised her head, her gaze fixed on Su Jin, her eyes revealing obvious unease and tension.
At this moment, her palms were beginning to sweat slightly, as if she could feel the rapid beating of her heart.
Although she has acted in many films and television dramas, this is her first time attending a press conference to mark the start of filming.
Su Jin smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, they won't ask you many questions."
"What if!" Liu Shishi said naively.
"There's no 'what if.' You're a nobody; they'd be crazy to keep targeting you like this."
"That's hard to say. With a pretty little girl like Shishi, there might be some lecherous reporter who keeps asking you questions," Liu Ye suddenly interjected.
"Ah!" Liu Shishi's eyes widened, her face blank with surprise.
Su Jin glared at Liu Ye, not noticing how incredibly nervous Sister Xia was, and what was she doing causing trouble?
"Don't listen to Liu Ye's nonsense, he's just trying to fool you. Each reporter can only ask one question."
"Shishi, if the reporters give you trouble later, Uncle Zhang will help you out. Don't worry," Zhang Guoli comforted her.
In the past five days, Liu Shishi has become familiar with everyone, and with her good personality, she has become the darling of the crew.
The lead actors adored her.
Zhang Guoli, in particular, doted on Liu Shishi as if she were his own daughter.
He told her jokes, talked about many things on the film set, and even taught her acting skills.
It's fair to say that Sister Xia's acting skills now far surpass those of five days ago.
His eye acting has also improved a lot; his gaze is finally no longer dull.
Before long, it was ten o'clock.
The press conference for the start of filming of "The Coffin in the Mountain" has officially begun, and the process is quite simple.
First, the host came on stage to introduce the synopsis of "The Coffin in the Mountain," and then introduced the cast.
Next came a speech from the leaders of Chaoyang District, followed by a speech from the executive producer Zuo Shandiao, then producers Huang Jiaqiang and Zhong Lifang, and finally Ning Hao and Su Jin.
Then there wasn't enough time; the first three people had taken up too much time, talking for a total of forty or fifty minutes.
Ning Hao is not a talkative person, and he stepped down from the stage in less than three minutes.
The content was a lavish praise on Su Jin, calling him an unparalleled talent and exceptionally outstanding.
Su Jin rambled on for two or three minutes before ending the conversation.
Otherwise, he would have to launch into a long and detailed account of his journey as a director.
"Let's give a warm round of applause to welcome the entire creative team of 'The Coffin in the Mountain' to the stage."
"Splash splash splash..."
Amid thunderous applause, Zhang Guoli, Yu Nan, Guo Tao, Fan Wei, Liu Ye, and Xia Jie took to the stage.
Each of the main cast members introduced the role they played, and then the Q&A session began.
"Mr. Guoli, why did you take on a film directed by a newcomer like Su Jin?" a reporter from Southern Weekly asked.
Zhang Guoli picked up the microphone, smiled, and said, "I never consider whether the director is a newcomer when I accept roles; I only care about the quality of the script."
The script for "The Coffin in the Mountain" happens to be excellent; it's the best script I've seen this year, bar none.
Hearing this, the media reporters in the audience secretly curled their lip. This kind of talk could only fool some newbies who had just entered the industry. As seasoned veterans, they didn't believe it at all.
Who accepts a role without considering the director? If that were the case, those new directors would have already made it big.
The second person was a reporter from the Beijing News. He clearly learned from the experience of the reporter from Southern Weekly and instead asked questions to Su Jin.
"Director Su, with so many big names joining the cast this time, as a new director, do you feel any pressure?"
"To be honest, it's impossible not to feel pressure, after all, they are all so outstanding, including not only Best Actor and Best Actress winners, but also national first-class actors..."
But I want to say that I feel honored and proud to be able to work with them.
I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, we will definitely be able to create a masterpiece that will satisfy the audience.
Su Jin wanted to say no, but then she thought that humility is a traditional Chinese virtue, and being too flamboyant is not good.
The media reporters were somewhat disappointed; it was all clichés and there was absolutely no sensational news.
Suddenly, they noticed Liu Shishi, who looked slightly uneasy, smiling mysteriously.
The next moment, a reporter asked Liu Shishi, "Liu Shishi, as the only newcomer this time, what are your thoughts on working with so many big names?"
Liu Shishi paused for a moment, then took the microphone and said, "I feel very honored. Thank you, Director Su, for giving me this opportunity to work with so many seniors."
Just as Sister Xia breathed a sigh of relief, another reporter asked her, "So, who among these people would you most like to collaborate with?"
Upon hearing this, Su Jin realized something was wrong; there was a huge trap involved!
A bad answer can offend people.
Although Zhang Guoli and his friends might not care, the media reporters will write all sorts of nonsense!
Then the outside world won't have a bad impression of me.
Just as he was about to take over the conversation, he heard Zhang Guoli say with a smile, "Ask me that question! I know the answer."
I once asked Shishi privately, and she said it was me. Then I heard a different answer from Yu Nan, who said that she was the actress Shishi most wanted to work with.
We argued about this for a long time back then, but then Liu Ye, Guo Tao, and Fan Wei told us that they were the ones Shishi most wanted to collaborate with.
"Hahaha……"
Laughter erupted from below, continuous and unending, as people marveled at Sister Xia's quirky and clever nature.
The media reporters could only manage a wry smile; they had finally found a breakthrough, only to have it disrupted by Zhang Guoli.
Liu Shishi turned her head slightly to look at Zhang Guoli, her eyes showing gratitude.
Then, the media reporters asked Liu Ye, Guo Tao, and Yu Nan a few more questions, the content of which were basically the same.
They also asked Ning Hao a lot of questions, such as when he would start his next film.
Ning Hao shrugged and said helplessly, "I also want to film a new movie! But the script that Su Jin promised me, I haven't even seen a trace of it yet."
The media reporters were taken aback; they had almost forgotten that the script for "The Coffin in the Mountain" was written by Su Jin.
"Director Su, is what Director Ning Hao said true?"
"It's true."
"Have you prepared the script for him?"
"Almost done."
Holy crap...
Ning Hao was slightly taken aback, looking at Su Jin in a daze. "Big brother, why didn't you tell me you had finished writing the script?"
The media reporters were instantly excited; if they could get news about Ning Hao's new film, they would have made a fortune today.
"Director Su, could you tell us what kind of script you prepared for Director Ning Hao?"
"Modern suspense crime film".
"Could you tell me roughly what the story is about?"
"I can't reveal too much, I'll just say one word, and you can guess it. There's a prize for the correct guess."
The phrase is "fatherly love is as solid as a mountain."
P.S., brothers and sisters, please read this! Thank you so much!
A ranking will appear after flipping through two more pages. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
