My landlord is a big star

Chapter 80 79. Backstab!

The office area fell into silence, without too much noise, and the staff only gave a symbolic applause to welcome the newcomers.

After the welcome was over, the staff members were all busy, looking down at a book or talking on the phone in a low voice, a look of embarrassment appeared on the face of Lim Yoona who played Li Qianxi, but it disappeared quickly.

Team Leader Kim stood beside her and called out to Jin Zhiying, who was pretending to be busy, and when she looked up, she said:

"Zhiying, the newcomer is on you."

"Huh?" Jin Zhiying looked at the girl next to her imposingly, forced a smile and nodded: "Nei, Team Leader Jin."

Seeing that she agreed, Team Leader Jin turned his head and said, "Qian Xixi, Zhiying is a very good senior. Your office is next to Zhiying. In the future, you need to learn more from senior Zhiying, you know?"

"Hey, Team Leader Nim! I will work hard." Lin Yuner bowed to her again, with a perfect expression, fully showing the newcomer's carefulness when he first joined the job.

After finishing speaking, Team Leader Jin asked her to go to the work station. Lin Yuner bowed to Jin Zhiying before she walked to the work station.

"Senior Aniasai, my name is..."

Korean workplaces are severely divided in class. It is normal for newcomers to greet their seniors after entering the job.

It is precisely because of knowing this that Xu Lin has very strict requirements on the lighting, and the overall picture should be warm and harmonious, in contrast to Li Qianxi's behavior, thus metaphorizing the Korean workplace concept.

The tone is warm and the saturation is full. Xu Lin nodded in satisfaction, picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words:

"Let the actors come to me after the performance, and the props team will rearrange the scene. In addition, the cameraman responsible for the sliding track lens, you are shooting too fast, pay attention to the speed."

After speaking, there was a beep from the intercom, and two or three seconds later, there was a noise accompanied by human voices.

"receive."

It's not that the actors didn't play their roles well. The main reason is that Xu Lin felt that some details were not reflected. As a director, he attaches great importance to the details and overall perception of the movie.

For example, at this time, the screen is full of Chaoyang office areas. Jin Zhiying is introducing the company to Li Qianxi, and the idle employees around are greeting each other, and they glance at the two from time to time.

Gossip in the workplace is commonplace, and the small group behavior between employees immediately highlights Jin Zhiying's kindness.

But Xu Lin always felt that something was wrong. After a while, with a cut, the actor got up and walked to the monitor after hearing the staff's request. After everyone was assembled, Xu Lin said:

"Retake one in a while, after Team Leader Kim calls out Kim Zhiying, don't be so sullen, just smile, you are the team leader, it stands to reason that you are more scheming than everyone else, and Yoona, you have to pay attention to your eyes, Don't subconsciously take a sneak peek at the camera, the whole is very good, do you want to see the picture?"

"Well, let's take a look." Zheng Yumei, who was standing behind Xu Lin, said, "Maybe we just started filming, and we didn't find the right mood. I said a few lines wrong just now, and I just wanted to talk about reshooting."

"Hmm..." Xu Lin nodded, controlled the monitor to replay the screen, and Lin Yuner stared at it with full attention.

As Xu Lin said, she did sneak a few shots just now, but she can't be blamed for this. Although she has acted in many scenes, it is subconscious for idols to look for the camera.

The same is true for Lin Yuner in the close-up, she suddenly felt overwhelmed and hated her actions.

The cameo can be played like this, what should I do if I become the leading role in the future, she pursed her lips and began to tell herself in her heart that she must pay attention to this cameo, let alone live up to Xu Lin's trust in herself.

As the picture freezes, Xu Lin turned his head to look at Zheng Yumei and Lin Yuner behind him, and said with a smile:

"Yumi Nuna, don't be stressed, it doesn't look good with a tense expression on your face, just take it easy and act."

"...Huh?" Zheng Yumei was stunned, and blinked twice: "Did I have a bad expression just now?"

"It's okay, it can be used, but I want to keep improving, it doesn't matter if I take two more shots, Yumi Nuna."

"It's okay..." Zheng Yumei didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, Lin Yun'er nodded seriously, Zheng Yumei's acting skills needless to say, she knew that Xu Lin's words were for herself, so she simply acted as a riddle to the code.

The filming continued, and this time the filming was obviously better than before. With the performance of the actors, it took a total of three filmings before Xu Lin called out, and the staff began to arrange the props for the next scene.

It is impossible to rest. Lin Yuner sat at the station and read the script, and Xu Lin was also directing the scene.

The shooting of the second act was also very smooth. It can be seen that Lin Yuner really put in a lot of effort. It was after one o'clock at noon. The scene of the third act was set up, and the actors also went to the dressing room to change their clothes.

In front of the monitor, Xu Lin was about to smoke a cigarette when he heard a burst of exclamation, and Lin Yuner walked out of the dressing room.

Looking around, she walked out slowly in professional attire. She was wearing white short-sleeved sleeves in a tight-fitting small suit. Showing her slender waist, she was wearing high-heeled shoes without socks, and the bone lines on the back of her feet were obvious.

While walking in the direction of Xu Lin, the slightly brown three- to seven-point long hair swayed gently with the steps, looking beautiful and rustic, no wonder some staff members exclaimed.

After approaching the director, Lin Yuner smiled and bowed, and said in a voice that only two people could hear:

"How is it? Is it beautiful?"

"Hey, it's filming, pay attention." Xu Lin pretended to be serious, but his eyes couldn't help but look at her.

"I know I'm filming, so I came to you to ask how I want to act in the next scene. Why do you think I'm looking for you?"

"..."

Xu Lin was silent, looking at the girl in front of him, he clicked his tongue helplessly, and finally got up and gave her the show: "It's not difficult for you to end the scene, I will arrange a few extras for you, all of whom are in professional attire, you just go ahead Just go, remember to show your temperament of a strong woman when the time comes, there is nothing else to pay attention to."

"Oh, just stride forward?" Lin Yun'er tilted her head and asked puzzledly: "Is there no props? It's said that she is a strong woman, so shouldn't she have some documents in her hand, what do you think?"

"There must be props, you can get them yourself." Speaking of this, Xu Lin observed the surrounding area and found that no one paid attention to the two of them.

Before Lin Yun'er could speak, he said softly, "We'll have lunch later, come find me in the lounge on the fifth floor."

"...What do you want?" Lin Yun'er looked wary.

"What can I do? Do you want to eat at the cafeteria of CJ Entertainment? I'll order delivery by myself later. If I can't finish it, come and eat."

Hearing this, Lin Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a soft voice: "I thought you wanted to bobo, so you don't?"

Xu Lin: "???"

This girl's brain circuit is really top-notch, he couldn't keep up at all, so he didn't bother to explain, and turned his head to continue looking at the screen.

And Lin Yuner didn't resist the temptation of delicious food, she nodded in agreement, got up and left, followed the staff to the next scene, the third scene was filmed in the corridor on the ground floor of CJ Entertainment.

The main entrance of the building is the front desk, the full name of the company made of acrylic material is on the background wall, and there is an open area on the left.

The content of this shoot is very simple, Lin Yuner only needs to walk towards the door with a big stride, and Zheng Yumei is standing at the entrance of the front desk, the two pass by and it is over.

The filming started. Xu Lin looked at the monitor. After a few seconds, a group of staff in professional attire came out from the corner of the building. They hadn't seen each other for many years. Li Qianxi had become a strong woman in the workplace. When passing by Jin Zhiying, she didn't recognize her , with an expression of complete control on his face, and a trace of sighing for the years appeared on Jin Zhiying's face.

The two passed by each other and headed towards their respective lives.

The third act ends.

"OK! Pass! Thank you Lin Yuner for the cameo."

I don't know who repeated Xu Lin's words, the staff on the first floor started to applaud, Lin Yuner bowed and thanked everyone.

However, this is not the end. In the afternoon, there will be additional close-up shots, focusing on close-ups and details of the face.

Of course, now the staff and actors need to eat to replenish their energy. Because of the reason of CJ Entertainment, most employees will choose to eat in the cafeteria. After all, they have employee discounts here.

The same goes for actors, Xu Lin didn't go, he doesn't have much appetite for the food in the cafeteria, so he might as well order takeaway.

Leaving from the monitor, he reached the first floor, and followed Lin Yuner to the empty elevator with a tacit understanding.

He has a lounge here, basically every director has one, so that the director can create in the company, interview actors, and have a rest during the press conference.

The takeaway has already been picked up, three dishes, beef bone soup, rice and stir-fried mixed vegetables, with meat, soup and vegetables.

The two entered the lounge and began to eat. After eating, Xu Lin wiped his mouth, got up and wanted to smoke a cigarette outside, just met Lin Yuner's puzzled eyes, and after thinking about it, he sat down again.

Lin Yuner didn't like him smoking, although it was understandable, but even if she didn't like it, she could see Xu Lin's thoughts.

"Want to smoke?"

"...Ah, I'm a little tired." Xu Lin rubbed his eyes and replied, "It's uncomfortable to stare at the screen for too long."

"Oh, I'm going to brush my teeth." Putting down the spoon, Lin Yun'er took her bag and walked out without saying anything.

Only Xu Lin was left stunned. After he realized it, he shook his head and smiled, got up and walked to the window, opened the window, took out a cigarette and a lighter, lit one, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

In the afternoon, Zheng Yumei and Gong Liu's scenes will end, and Lin Yuner's scenes will end here. Xu Lin doesn't know what she will do in the afternoon.

As a boyfriend, he kind of wants to add a play to this girl, but it's just his idea, the protagonist of the movie is not her, it's not okay to occupy the dove's nest, she will be gossiped by the staff.

About 10 minutes later, Xu Lin put out the cigarette, and Lin Yuner also just pushed the door open, frowned and complained:

"It smells so good, why don't you go to the smoking room."

"I don't want to go, I'm afraid." Xu Lin grinned, stepped forward and pulled her to sit on the sofa, the scent of the perfume lingered in his nose: "Why did you wear perfume? It smells good."

"Because you smoke, I have to purify the air~" She took out the perfume from her bag and sprayed it in the air twice.

Tired of pretending not to be familiar with the crew, Lin Yuner smiled and leaned on his shoulder after spraying the perfume, sighed deeply, stepped on each other to take off her high heels, sat cross-legged on the leather sofa and closed her eyes , Feeling the gusts of cold wind in the lounge.

Seeing her like this, Xu Lin asked, "Tired?"

"Well, a little bit, I got up at three o'clock today, went to the beautician for makeup, took a few sets of promotional photos, and came here to film a movie."

"Why are you so busy? Didn't you say you're not busy recently?"

"I wasn't busy at first." Lin Yuner hugged his arm and explained: "You asked me to shoot a movie, so my sister will be fine after taking the promotional photo today, it's your job for me."

After saying that, Xu Lin raised his hand to stroke her long hair, and murmured: "...Blame me for not letting you have a good rest."

"Hmm~" She shook her little head: "I don't blame you, I'm not too happy for you to give me a job~"

"I know, are you busy this afternoon?"

"I'm going to record a video and post it online this afternoon."

"Huh? What video?"

"Ice Bucket Challenge."

Hearing this, Xu Lin was stunned, and the hand stroking her long hair stopped, with a puzzled expression, and asked curiously:

"What is the Ice Bucket Challenge?"

"Well, it's just asking others to pour ice water on their body." Lin Yuner explained: "It's a very popular charity project recently."

"……what?"

"Hmm... just to let more people know about ALS. Those who are invited donate $[-] to ALS if they don't accept the challenge. If they accept the challenge, they can name three friends to be watered. Do you understand?"

"I should understand."

It is understandable for Xia Tian to accept this kind of challenge, but Xu Lin suddenly thought that this girl seems not to be able to touch cold water today.

The original intention is good, but you also have to pay attention to your own health. In Korea, there is no concept that you can’t catch cold during your menstrual period. Some people even drink frozen water. The solution to dysmenorrhea is to take painkillers.

Looking at Lin Yuner who was like steel, Xu Lin clicked his lips twice, and asked cautiously:
"If you don't want to participate, just donate money."

"...No." Lin Yun'er shook her head: "How can an artist not participate in this kind of activity and do charity."

"I remember you seem to be on your menstrual period today..."

"It doesn't hurt."

Well, Xu Lin was speechless, he had said to Lin Yuner many times before, not only was it useless, she even refuted him.

Say it doesn't hurt, I'm in good health, the most stupid thing in the world is to reason with my girlfriend, anyway, Xu Lin didn't tell her in the end, she simply let her torment, and take care of herself when she feels uncomfortable.

It was the same this time, seeing the light in her eyes, Xu Lin finally gave up persuading her and nodded instead.

"It's good that you don't feel bad."

"Hehe~~"

Lin Yun'er smiled, turned her head and kissed the other person's cheek, causing Xu Lin to grin.

He didn't notice the sly look in her eyes at all.
-
In the afternoon, according to the plan, the production crew changed venues. After Lin Yuner left, she did the ice bucket challenge. At the end of the video, three friends were named.

As for the named person...

"Director, director, someone called you to do the ice bucket challenge."

"..."

Xu Lin, who was sitting in front of the monitor, turned around in astonishment. The staff handed the mobile phone to him, and then clicked to play it.

In the video, the girl first talked about the origin of the Ice Bucket Challenge, and then began to talk about the names of the people she called, Kim Tae Hee and Li Min. After she finished speaking, she smiled at the camera and said Xu Lin's name.

Then he was poured two buckets of water, the video ended here, Xu Lin's mouth twitched while watching, and he rubbed his face twice.

Sun thief, play dirty, right?

Just say why she smiled at herself when she left...

It's okay, we'll see you next time.

Don't muddle her into mud, and take her last name yourself!

Clenching his back molars tightly, Xu Lin raised his hand to brush his hair. The staff around him were watching the play, and the actors who were supposed to be talking to each other also came over.

After the others explained the reason, Kong Liu leaned over to him and said, "You can, brother, you won't accept the challenge, right?"

"...Hey." Xu Lin shook his head and said directly to the staff, "As for the props team, let them prepare more ice cubes."

"Nai, director nim."

The staff held back their laughter and ran out. Seeing Kong Liu watching the show with his big teeth bared, Xu Lin said with a smile:
"Brother, I don't have many friends."

"..." Kong Liu slowly closed his grinning mouth, shrugged and said, "Brother is already so old, it doesn't matter."

Very good, very energetic, Xu Lin liked his vigor, so, with the help of the staff, the two big men were successfully poured with two buckets of water soaked in ice cubes on the lawn in the yard.

In fact, Xu Lin is fine, after all, this is summer, he was already hot when he was watching the monitor outdoors, but now he is so refreshing.

I don't know where the excitement came from, the two wet men even took a photo together, and the staff posted it on the INS with the movie entry, and the person named by Kong Liu had nothing to do with Xu Lin, he didn't know many friends.

Jiang Min and Fa Xiao couldn't be allowed to participate in such activities, so Xu Lin started working after changing clothes.

The afternoon scene was not difficult to film. It was about Jin Zhiying who fell ill and mistakenly thought she was her late senior, and woke up Daxian while drinking in the living room. After the two talked, Daxian cried.

The content of the conversation was that Jin Zhiying told Daxian all the recent pressure and true thoughts through the illness.

Xu Lin first asked the staff to cover the windows, and then ordered the photographer to darken the overall tone of the lens.

Then he walked into the room to check the lighting. Kong Liu and Zheng Yumei, who were standing at the door talking to each other, glanced at him, and found that this person was adjusting the light of the chandelier on the dining table. They looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile.

Having known each other for so long, the two of them also know Xu Lin's style, which belongs to the kind of hands-on and very talented.

All kinds of comparisons, all kinds of metaphors, if you don't watch the movie carefully, you really can't find these.

About half an hour later, the filming started, and the afternoon scenes were cut twice, and the filming time also quietly came to dusk, Xu Lin gave a few orders, and drove back home.

As soon as he entered the door, Leo ran over and circled him. Xu Lin knelt down and touched its head, then said:
"Your mother didn't come to walk you today... How about I buy you a treadmill?"

"Wow, woof, woof!" Leo yelled dissatisfied.

"Okay! I'll take it as your promise!"

Xu Lin looked at the dumbfounded Leo and smiled. Buying a treadmill can not only be used for him, but he can also run in the morning.
