My landlord is a big star

Chapter 78 77. Do you want to come as a cameo in my movie?
"Is it necessary to order takeaway for a family meal?"

In front of the kitchen, Daxian's mother had a mean expression on her face, and while she was doing housework, she muttered something, with a bit of disdain in her voice, and Jin Zhiying looked at Daxian with embarrassment on her face.

Daxian, who noticed his wife's expression, quickly explained: "No, my mother, I'm afraid you will be troubled."

"Are you worried about me?"

"Haha..." Daxian's eyes wandered, and he happened to see the unwashed kitchen utensils in the kitchen, and said awkwardly as he walked towards the sink, "There are so many tableware to be washed, let me wash them."

It was a normal thing, but in Jin Zhiying's eyes, it was extremely embarrassing, and she absolutely couldn't let her husband do the dishes.

Jung Yumi, who plays Kim Jiyoung, hurriedly stepped forward, patted Gong Yoo, who played Dae Hyun, on the shoulder, and whispered:

"Stay aside."

"Hey Yigu, my daughter-in-law really has a good husband." The mother-in-law who saw the interaction between the two sneered.

.........

In front of the monitor, Xu Lin watched the actors perform with great interest, as if they were really a family. Actors, what they act like, at least he is satisfied with watching.

Regardless of being mean or not, anyway, at this moment, the two actors in front of the camera are like real mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Just as he was staring at the micro expressions of the actors, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket rang. Xu Lin took it out and looked at the notes. With a puzzled expression, he waved and called the lighting engineer from the side.

"After they finish shooting this one, you go and remove the light, and do it again with the original light, without changing the tone."

"Nai, director nim."

"...Well, and there, tell the camera to lower the saturation and exposure a bit, and I'll answer a call."

After finishing speaking, Xu Lin put on a black peaked cap and stood up. He didn't care about the drizzle, and walked directly to a quieter corner of the yard. His eyes were a little frozen, but he still connected the phone.

"Hi, Consultant Li nim, I'm currently filming a film, what can you do for me?"

"Xu Lin, the plan has changed. When I applied for the distribution rights for you just now, I was rejected by the higher-ups. It means that the plot is unreasonable. You have to modify the plot, otherwise I will not give it."

"Compared with the previous plot, the plot has been restrained a lot, why not let it go? Then this movie is still going to be released?"

"The high-level management said that the ending is not good." Li Quanbin's voice was a little helpless: "Your final ending is that Jin Zhiying died of depression. This kind of plot will make the audience feel depressed."

"Then what should I do? You can't let me wash those people white, that's how social phenomena are."

"My suggestion is to revise the script. The part about workplace oppression can be deleted. There is no need to shoot this kind of film."

"No, I can't delete this paragraph!"

In international film and television, South Korea has always been famous for its daring to shoot real events. How could it not work when it came to him? Xu Lin couldn't figure it out.

Especially in the scene where Jin Zhiying was oppressed by the workplace, Xu Lin felt that he did not magnify the social phenomenon at all.

Anyone who has worked in the workplace knows that most of the people who oppress women in the workplace are women.

"Consultant Li, I can change the ending, but I can't delete the plot, not any part. The first half of the film is almost finished, so it's impossible to delete it now, what do you think?"

"...I'll go talk to the higher-ups." Li Quanbin's voice was a little helpless: "It's best to change the ending to be a good person."

"Ha, I'll try my best." Xu Lin sneered, "Let's do this first, Consultant Li, we'll talk later when we have something to do."

"Wait, that... Kim Ki-duk has fled to the mountains, the higher-ups mean that it's almost ready."

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Lin fell into silence. After a while, he put down his phone and hung up Li Quanbin's call.

He couldn't do the thing of laughing away at the grudge, but because of the relationship with CJ Entertainment, he decided to let the other party go. After sending two text messages, he walked back under the tent in light rain.

Glancing at the monitor, Xu Lin asked the staff to call out the actors, and then he beckoned to Zheng Yumei.

"Nu Na, come here."

"Uh, good."

Zheng Yumei walked over directly, sat next to him and sat on the chair, Xu Lin also jumped out of the scene just now.

The picture freezes at the close-up of Jin Zhiying's face after being ridiculed by her mother-in-law for finding a good husband, and then Xu Lin said:
"The expression is a bit wrong."

"Hmm..." Zheng Yumei looked at the monitor and nodded: "I didn't perform well enough, please director to shoot again."

"It's not that you behaved badly. Although your expression is wrong, it's not that you can't use it. You didn't understand Jin Zhiying's state at that time. She shouldn't be in a trance at this time, it should be inferiority and helplessness."

As a director, belittling an actor's acting skills is a taboo, and Xu Lin also cursed people when he first started.

But as he pondered his identity as a director, he stopped doing that. When he spoke just now, his voice was extremely gentle.

Most directors will swear when the shooting is not going well, no matter whether the other party's acting skills are good or not, in the words of the industry, it is to wake up the actor, so that the actor will work harder to get into the play.

But this kind of stressful approach is not suitable for everyone. Actors are also human beings, not props for the director to call around.

No one can say anything about emotions. Xu Lin’s method is very simple. If you say it once, then say it twice. If you say it twice, the actor can rest first and shoot other people’s scenes first.

After the actors have adjusted their condition, it doesn't matter if they shoot this scene again. Xu Lin can't impose his own thoughts on others, and he can modify the script and lines when he encounters inconsistencies.

The script is dead, but people are alive. If acting skills must be deducted, then the actor is no longer an actor, but a robot.

Upholding this style, Xu Lin picked up the script next to him, looked at the script and said to Zheng Yumei beside him:
"It's not impossible to retake it. From my understanding, Jin Zhiying was already sick at the time. She was unwilling to be ridiculed by her mother-in-law. She felt uncomfortable and had nothing to do."

In the script, Jin Zhiying did not refute, there was only a close-up shot of the face. Suddenly, Xu Lin turned his head and said:

"Or this extra line, there is no need to be so helpless, you can refute it appropriately."

"I think it's okay." Zheng Yumei pursed her lips, and put forward her suggestion cautiously: "Director, do you think it would be better for me to say 'Mom, I do the dishes at home'?"

"Well... yes, but the mother-in-law also needs to add lines. After all, this paragraph is about Jin Zhiying being squeezed all the time."

After finishing speaking, Xu Lin fell into thinking, holding the script in his hand, frowning slightly, thinking about the lines silently.

On the other hand, Zheng Yumei felt inexplicably relieved, now the filming of Xu Lin's film is not so stressful, unlike before, he now respects the actor's ideas very much, and even accepts them.

Moreover, this drama is still the main heroine. Although she may be scolded when it is released, she is not afraid.

Originally, she had worked with Kong Liu on the film "The Melting Pot", adding a director like Xu Lin again, she has no regrets.

The Korean entertainment industry is full of life and death. The good actors in this movie are unwilling to shoot, and the actor Xu Lin who is willing to shoot is disdainful, and finally the role is fixed on Kong Liu, the gold medal partner.

Xu Lin was writing and drawing on the script, and Kong Liu also strolled over at this time, without speaking, he asked Zheng Yumei with his eyes.

"Okay, almost, the lines have been added." Xu Lin, who muttered softly, raised his head, was stunned when he saw Kong Liu, and said seriously: "Don't make a fuss, go and shoot another one."

"Is it so sudden? What's going on, did you add lines to us?" Kong Liu shrugged with a smile.

"I didn't add it for you." Xu Lin said solemnly: "I added some lines for your wife and your mother."

"..."

"..."

Kong Liu and Zheng Yumei were hesitant to speak. It is true that they are a couple in the script, but what Xu Lin said was too smooth.

Reluctantly, the two walked aside with Xu Lin's modified script. Before filming, they must be familiar with the lines and have to speak to the opponent's actors. This is also convenient for shooting. After 10 minutes, the actors will be ready.

Xu Lin asked the lighting engineer to darken the color tone a little bit, so as to highlight Jin Zhiying's experience and inner description at that time.

The second shoot was relatively smooth. Although there were no awkward words, and the expressions and emotions were in place, Xu Lin still took the third shoot. It is always right to leave a way out, and it is easy to cut when editing.

After busy filming this one, it was noon, and the crew began to distribute lunch and vitamins.

For lunch, it's very simple. You can choose between rice soup and fried noodles. If you want to eat something else, you can order it separately, and you can ask Jiang Min for reimbursement.

But most people would not be so blind. They would eat whatever the crew ordered. No one would cook a small stove alone. During the meal, Kong Liu sat next to Xu Lin with fried noodles.

Before he could speak, Xu Lin, who was sitting in front of the monitor, said helplessly, "Brother, I'm going to shoot an intimate scene this afternoon."

"...Ah, I can do it." Kong Liu took a mouthful of noodles, chewed and said, "Why are you in such a hurry today? You usually don't take pictures when you are asked to take more pictures. Don't tell me that you suddenly woke up."

"I have to be busy in a few days, and the progress is already slow. Of course, I have to shoot quickly, and I can still get paid for the early release."

Xu Lin said without blushing, his expression was very serious, and he couldn't see a clue at all.

After getting along for so long, his relationship with Kong Liu is not bad. They are called brothers and sisters in private. They will return to being directors and actors when they are filming, but he doesn't want to talk about the reason for rushing to shoot.

The entertainment industry is the entertainment industry, and if there is no problem with interpersonal communication, it also includes personal and professional matters.

Hearing this, Kong Liu grinned, and mixed the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks: "You can't just think about getting money, right? Have you ever thought about how the public opinion will control after the show?"

"I thought about it just now." Xu Lin glanced at him, and said with a smile, "You are afraid of cyberbullying, aren't you?"

"I'm not afraid. I'm more worried about Yumi's public opinion than this. This drama is originally a drama with a heroine, and it doesn't matter whoever plays the heroine. You and Yumi must be the first to suffer cyber violence."

"...Brother, since I dare to shoot, I must have a way to control public opinion." Xu Lin grinned, and smiled brightly: "If it's really not possible, I'll ask you to act in the next movie, it's just a trivial matter."

"Don't, don't look for me, just make one movie, you will be blocked if you keep making movies like this."

"Let's talk again."

Prevaricating, Xu Lin lowered his head to eat.

……

After dinner, all the actors who had no roles left the crew, only Kong Liu and Zheng Yumi were left. The scene in the afternoon was very simple. Kim Zhiying and her husband Daxian got married and had a child.

It is also commonly known as a bed scene, which sounds a bit subtle, but it is actually Kong Liu and Zheng Yumi hugging on the bed.

As an actor, such intimate scenes are inevitable, but Gong Liu and Zheng Yumi have collaborated in a movie, and there is no need to say that they have a tacit understanding.

In other words, this scene is not Gong Yoo hugging Jung Yumi, but Dae Hyun hugging Kim Jiyoung.

Again.

Come out to sell, face outward.

It is an extremely stupid thing to treat tricks as reality, so Gong Liu and Zheng Yumi are not too shy, but instead show the little love between the newlyweds to the fullest, which is quite perfect.

At 4:23 p.m., Kong Liu and Zheng Yumei ended today's filming, and they took three or four shots in total.

After bidding farewell to the two, Xu Lin started to photograph Jin Zhiying's childhood events again. For example, when she was in school, she was harassed by boys when she came home at night, but her father blamed her for her school uniform skirt being too short.

The group performances performed well, and Xu Lin specially wrapped a few big red envelopes for those actors after the shooting ended in the evening.

While the staff were packing up the props, Xu Lin quietly returned to the commercial vehicle and leaned on the driver's seat. He couldn't help but start to worry about this movie. It was inevitable that it would be boycotted.

Koreans don't care about Xu Lin's title, but if they treat them badly, they should boycott or go to the Blue House to petition.

In fact, he doesn't care, it's mainly the actors...

Thinking of this, he became inexplicably irritable. The boycotted actors might not receive scripts for a long time.

He silently took out a cigarette from his pocket, opened the car window, and after lighting it, Xu Lin raised his arm to rest on the car window.

"His..."

With a puff of smoke, Xu Lin suddenly felt much more comfortable in his heart, and his mind gradually became clearer. If he resisted, he resisted. He is the director, and at worst, he will find these actors to shoot the next film.

After smoking, Xu Lin rested in the car for a while, took out his mobile phone to check the time, and then drove towards home.

------------

Because Xu Lin has to be busy with movies recently, Leo has no one to take a walk, so Lin Yuner, who is not very busy, went to Xu Lin's house after running today's schedule, and took Leo for a walk in the community.

Although it was raining, she was still dressed in hot pants and short sleeves. Leo ran in front, and she followed silently behind.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it felt like the walk was almost over. Lin Yuner led Leo back home, and when she was preparing dog food for Leo in the kitchen, the door opened with a click.

Xu Lin walked in leisurely, and Lin Yuner poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard the sound, raised her smile, and said with a smile:

"I'm home?"

"Oh? Why are you here?" Xu Lin was about to take off his shirt, but when he saw Lin Yun'er, he stopped and asked curiously, "Are you not on a schedule today? Don't even tell me, you're going to scare me."

"No, didn't you say that Leo has no one to take a walk, anyway, I have nothing to do at night, so I came to see it."

Xu Lin didn't speak, and dragged his tired body to sit on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling after recovering from paralysis.

"Brother~~ Have you eaten yet?"

Lin Yun'er's voice came from the kitchen, and in the next second, she came out with two long white and smooth legs, put the dog bowl in front of Leo's kennel, turned around and walked to Xu Lin to sit down.

Before she could speak, a smell of tobacco flooded into her nostrils, which made her subconsciously lean to the side.

"What's the matter, are you smoking? Why don't you talk?"

"Ah... I'm a little tired and have a headache." Xu Lin murmured in response, reached out and took out a cigarette and a lighter from his trouser pocket, threw them on the coffee table and said, "Sometimes the director is very annoying, and he wants to smoke when he gets annoyed."

"Well, smoke less, it's not good for your health." Lin Yuner wrinkled her tall nose: "Do you want me to massage your head?"

"...Yes! Why not!"

"Tch! You're so lazy."

Since his girlfriend had already said it, Xu Lin would not be polite, he directly laid his head on Lin Yuner's lap.

I have to say that her legs are really thin. After lying on Xu Lin, she didn't feel that fleshy, but felt very firm. Lin Yuner also stretched out her small hand to gently press on the left and right sides of his forehead.

Closing his eyes, Xu Lin's expression gradually relaxed. While enjoying Lin Yuner's massage, he asked:
"Are you tired today? What are you doing?"

"Why are you asking these questions? Check the post~ You're not tired, it's just that you took some promotional posters."

Speaking of this, Lin Yuner seemed to want to ask something, but in the end she pursed her rosy mouth and didn't ask, but continued:

"Girls' Generation's third tour is over. Originally, everyone should be busy with their own careers, but the company seems unwilling to do so. We will go to China to hold a concert in September this year, in mainland China."

"Then you haven't traveled recently?"

When Xu Lin opened his eyes to ask, he sneaked a glance at the white and tender thighs, and then turned around again.

Then pretending to be inadvertently put his face on it, the soft and cool touch made him close his eyes immediately.

Lin Yuner didn't care, and continued to help him gently press his temples: "There must be a schedule, but it's not too much. I was originally asked to act in a new TV series, but I refused after thinking about it."

"Huh? Why did you refuse? The script sent to you is not good-looking or the lineup is not good? What TV series?"

"A TV series adapted from comics." Lin Yuner hugged his head with both hands, raised his legs and put them down again, whispering softly: "The lineup is okay, but the company wants me to develop in China."

"So your company rejected the show for you? Or did you personally reject it?"

"Well...all of them."

China's film and television market is vast, and the company values ​​profit. She is because this person's hometown has her own reputation.

In the early years, she knew that she was very popular in China, but she didn't know how popular she was. Compared with neon, she wanted to go to China to develop and try, at least to see the popularity.

Thinking of this, she said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm not busy these days, so if you're busy with work, go for it. I'll take Leo for a walk."

"...Aren't you busy? Are you interested in coming to my movie for a cameo?"

Xu Lin who opened his eyes sat up and asked, making Lin Yuner's already harmless face look even more innocent.

"Eh? A cameo movie?"
