I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Chapter 258 256. Do you dare to stop if you want to stop (13)

  When Lin Xunxin walked into the small performance hall where Xu Xin and Wang Sicong were in wearing a puppet army uniform, Xu Xin was really surprised.

  Boy... yes.

  Although the hairstyle is a little out of place, but when he puts on this clothes and stands there, the guy looks really upright.

   Stopped chatting with Wang Sicong, Xu Xin looked him up and down, nodded:

   "Very handsome~"

   Then he began to stare at Lin Xunxin in a daze.

   As soon as these words came out, the old man became a little unhappy.

   After a while, footsteps came from the door.

  Zhao Liying and Jing Tian appeared at the door.

  Zhao Liying was in front, Jing Tian was behind, looking inside.

   Just happened to see Lin Xingxin.

   and that sound:

   "Baozi, come in."

  Hearing this movement, Zhao Liying quickly turned her head and saw Xu Xin sitting on the chair.

   "Hey, here we come."

   After finishing speaking, she turned her head and said to Jing Tian behind:

"Walk."

   "...?"

  Jing Tian's eyes revealed a look of speechlessness.

  What you heard, I heard it too.

   Can’t just go in directly?

  But she didn't say a word, but stood in front of Xu Xin and the stranger next to her, along with Zhao Liying who had just bowed and said hello.

  Xu Xin looked at the two girls again, and immediately fell into thinking.

   After a moment, he got up and said:

   "You three come with me."

   After speaking, he hooked his head at Wang Sicong, indicating to follow, and then he walked out straight away.

  Several people followed him all the way to the Fuhuadao area next to him. When they saw him enter the room, a middle-aged elder sister immediately came up to him.

   "Director Xu, what's the matter?"

  Although Xu Xin didn't know her name, she said very politely:

   "Well, please our makeup artist, give him..."

  One finger Lin Xunxin:

"The shape is made more rustic. He also needs to change his military uniform, and replace it with ordinary puppet army clothes. He is giving a big cover. The face must be earthy and black, and all leggings and the like are ready. gone."

  Hearing this, the middle-aged elder sister nodded directly and asked:

   "Full set?"

   "Yes, a full set... One size up, try to choose clothes that don't fit you well."

   "No problem. Then these two beauties..."

   "Kimono, geisha makeup with hair."

   "Pretty? Or ugly?"

   "Bai. Dead people are white, the feeling of Mu Mu. When the light and shadow hit the body, you must first see the white, and then you can see the face."

   "Okay, I'll call the makeup artist over."

  The eldest sister walked out the door directly.

  Xu Xin turned to Zhao Liying and said:

   "Do you know where the third studio is?"

"Know."

   "Well, the three of you will get it done in a while, come to studio No. 3 to find me."

  The three nodded, and Xu Xin walked out with Wang Sicong.

  Walking on the road, Wang Sicong suddenly said:

   "Why are you going to the studio? Isn't today a day off?"

   "Anyway, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I just checked my makeup. What's the matter? Are you tired?"

   "I'm not tired...but I want to go out for a stroll, to see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the tree planted by Li Shimin..."

"Da-Yan Tower?"

  Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, looking at his friend with a very speechless look...

   "Is there something to see about the rotten Big Wild Goose Pagoda!"

   "...tsk."

  Wang Sicong's eyes were filled with emotion:

   "Your tone is the same as if I know that there are outsiders going to Tiger Beach."

  Xu Xin shrugged and led him all the way to Studio No. 3.

  Looking at these large and small sets, Wang Sicong finally had a look of curiosity in his eyes.

  Stepping on the wooden board with a slightly hollow echo, he walked in the set room and observed in all directions for a while, then said:

   "Why are you so panicked?"

  Xu Xin's eyes lit up:

   "Oh?...Tell me, how does it feel?"

   "I'm panicking, this wooden staircase..."

   As he spoke, he stomped his foot twice, making a "dong dong" echo.

"I don't know what to do when I step on it. And... it feels like watching a horror movie. The whole mansion is just the two of us, and then there are a pair of eyes staring at us in the dark... It's like that movie, not always like that lens?"

  He pointed to the railing of the stairs on the second floor:

"A little girl is sitting on the second floor, her legs are dangling and dangling. The protagonist of the movie saw her as soon as he looked up. The girl disappeared again...Are you sure you are filming an anti-Japanese war movie? Not a horror movie? The more I talk about it, the more frightened I become."

  But Xu Xin smiled more and more complacently.

   As far as filming is concerned, Wang Sicong is a complete layman.

  As an audience, even if he is only in the set room, he can give him this feeling, which means that his design is successful.

  Thinking of this...

  He directly took out the phone and dialed a number:

   "Hey, Director Qian, the cameraman and lighting engineer on duty in our factory will send me a camera. Come to studio No. 3... Well, okay, I'll wait for you."

   "What are you doing?"

  When he hung up the phone, Wang Sicong was a little puzzled.

   "You don't understand even if you tell me. Just wait and see~"

   Soon, the three of Lin Juxin, the makeup artist, the photographer carrying the camera box, and the lighting engineer all came to the No. 3 studio.

  Xu Xin glanced at the makeup on Jing Tian and Zhao Liying's faces, and nodded.

   Very traditional geisha makeup.

   To put it bluntly, it means "white".

   It's like putting a layer of flour on the face.

   I have to admit that the aesthetics of a country that lives a good life is really weird.

   And the appearance of the two of them in kimonos is okay.

  Compared with it, Lin Gengxin's obviously ill-fitting outfit is somewhat nondescript.

  Obviously he was a very handsome young officer just now, but now he put on the dark makeup and rustic clothes on his face, and all of a sudden, that "earth smell" came over his face.

   "Well, yes, very malleable."

  Looking at his attire, Wang Sicong couldn't help but laugh, but in Xu Xin's eyes, it seemed to be a completely different taste.

   As he spoke, he stopped Wang Sicong, who was about to take pictures with his mobile phone, and pointed to the big empty dining table:

   "You, sit there, sit on the chair in the middle. The camera is on him."

   "...?"

  Wang Sicong was taken aback.

   "I'm not acting, what are you doing?"

   "Don't talk nonsense, just go if you are told."

   After urging, Xu Xin said to Zhao Liying and Jing Tian:

   "You two stand behind him, and the cameraman settles down to focus."

   In a word, he seems to have entered the shooting state.

  Zhao Liying and Jing Tian didn't understand why, but they still followed Wang Sicong.

  Wang Sicong sat on the main seat, looking a little curious and uneasy.

   And Zhao Liying and Jing Tian were behind the chair from the beginning.

  But after Xu Xin glanced at the camera, he said:

   "Both of you step back, step back to the edge of the warm light."

   Boundaries?

  Jing Tian hasn't reacted yet, the experienced Zhao Liying has come to the right position:

"is it here?"

   "Yes, very good."

  Jing Tian quickly stood in a row with her.

   "Dead face."

  As Xu Xin said, Zhao Liying habitually tightened her face and pursed her lips.

  The whole person is also motionless.

  Jing Tian still saw Zhao Liying's performance, and only then realized what the so-called "dead appearance" meant.

   Obviously, she doesn't understand these industry "slang words".

   "Okay, don't move. Old Wang, don't move either, just sit normally."

   As he spoke, he and the photographer pointed the camera at the two of them.

  Looking at the composition of the picture, Xu Xin said:

   "Let the facial features of the two people behind be whiter."

  The cameraman started to adjust, and after quickly achieving the effect Xu Xin wanted, Xu Xin said to the lighting engineer who was standing in front of the console:

   "Leave only the main light on the dining table, and turn off other light sources."

   Hearing his words, there was a clicking sound.

   One after another the lights began to dim.

  But the highlighted light in front of the dining table is getting brighter.

   When the last light was turned off, only Wang Sicong was left sitting at the empty dining table in the whole picture.

as well as…

  The two pale faces standing in the darkness behind him are like ghosts.

   Pale, numb, stiff, motionless.

   "Gudu~"

  Don't talk about looking through the camera.

  Wearing inappropriate clothes and holding a prop gun in his hand, Lin Xunxin swallowed unconsciously.

  He has a kind of... very trance illusion.

  At the beginning, his attention was all on Wang Sicong. Under the bright lights, the makeup of the two girls behind was at most exaggerated, but there was nothing special about it.

   But as those lights went out one by one, because of the visual contrast, the area around the dining table became brighter and brighter, but the surrounding area became darker and darker.

  The darker the surrounding area, the more obvious those two pale faces became.

   Gradually, Lin Juxin ignored Wang Sicong.

   Just looking straight at the two faces behind... These two blank faces seem to have become a kind of... symbolic symbols, how strange it is no matter how you look at it. No matter how you look at it, how awkward it is. But it just can't be ignored.

  Like two sculptures, standing there quietly.

   Even, the longer he observed, the more blurred the appearance of this girl named Jing Tian and the other girl named Zhao Liying became in his heart.

  It was so blurry that there were only two blank faces spinning in my mind...

   Obviously it was a test play.

  But his goosebumps popped up instantly.

  This... what is this thing?

   Isn’t it an anti-war drama?

  Why is the film so infiltrating!

  At this time, Xu Xin said:

   "OK, stop."

   As he spoke, he waved to Wang Sicong:

   "Old Wang, come and take a look."

   Then he looked at Lin Juxin:

   "Come on, let me tell you a scene...Jing Tian, ​​Zhao Liying, you two come here too."

  He waved to the two of them, and when Wang Sicong muttered to the clip in the camera, "It's really a ghost movie", he said to Lin Xingxin:

"You are a soldier, responsible for guarding the phone on the second floor, preventing Gu Xiaomeng and his group of five from getting in touch with the outside world. At this time, Gu Xiaomeng found you with a piece of paper, and told you to call home , I want some daily necessities. If you disagree, say no. Gu Xiaomeng will "attack" you three times, understand? One is to ask, after being rejected, the second time is to start a beauty trick, and the third time is also the same. During this period, you just refuse, refuse, and refuse again."

  After talking about the situation with Lin Juxin, he turned around and looked at Zhao Liying and Jing Tian beside him.

"The two of you play Gu Xiaomeng once... This is not a serious play, just treat it as a teacher in class asking for a mock performance. Remember, Gu Xiaomeng has three offenses, and the three of you will do the dialogue and plot design. Go and prepare~ "

  Xu Xin's sudden "class performance" made the three of them a little puzzled.

  But Zhao Liying was the first to react:

"OK!"

  Well, in a sense, she seems to be a social cow too.

   Pulling the two of them to the side of the set room, they muttered softly.

  After watching the simulation clip just shot, Wang Sicong came over and asked curiously:

   "Are you going to teach the three of them?"

"no…"

  Xu Xin shook his head:

   "It's just to see Lin Juxin's acting skills, and to think about whether there is anything wrong with the camera."

   "Oh~~~~"

  Wang Sicong was stunned, but there was a hint of emotion on his face:

   "Tsk, I really admire actors, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"It's like this. If you are asked to act, you have to act, regardless of whether anyone is watching you... I always feel that it is very shameful to perform in front of a group of people. Just now I sat on the stool by myself. Feeling ashamed and panicking...does Dami feel this way?"

  Xu Xinxin said that you really asked the right person.

  The more people there are, the crazier she gets.

   But speaking of it, the psychological barrier of this kind of actor is actually that he doesn't act too much.

   To put it bluntly, if you act too much, you will get thick-skinned. As long as you are not embarrassed, then others will be embarrassed.

   He looked at the trio and secretly thought.

   And what about the trio...

   "Then... In this way, the line comes like this: Brother, I want to call home. How do you say it?"

  Listening to Zhao Liying's words, Lin Xunxin thought for a while:

"no!"

   "Oh~ just call one, let the family bring me something~"

  There was a hint of coquettishness in Zhao Liying's tone.

  Lin Juxin still shook his head:

   "If you say no, you won't."

   "Brother~~~~ Just let me make one."

"no!"

  Hearing this sentence, Zhao Liying thought for a while and shook her head:

   "No way, this scene is too weak, it will definitely be cut."

   Having played a lot of small roles, she has almost gained experience in which scenes she can keep and which scenes she can't keep.

   After finishing speaking, he continued to ask Lin Juxin:

   "Can you... be more lively? As long as I may have to stick it on you at that time, do you hide or not?"

  Hearing this, Jing Tian turned to look at Zhao Liying.

   It's not an official shooting... Why did this strange person suddenly have a desperate energy?

   After thinking about it, she nodded slightly.

   Well, sure enough she was weird.

   And Lin Xunxin here:

"I…"

  He pondered for a while and said:

   "Don't hide, right? As soon as I hold a gun, what should I do to you? ... Or should I just draw the gun?"

  Zhao Liying's mouth twitched:

   "Brother, you are a puppet soldier, why do you dare to shoot at me? I am Gu Xiaomeng! Do you know? My father donated a plane to your boss."

   "Huh? Your family is quite rich."

   "Yes, I have such a strong relationship with the backstage, you dare to shoot at me, and you don't want to kill you?"

   "Uh... eh? Can we use this conversation as a line?"

  Lin Juxin seemed to find this conversation quite interesting.

   But Zhao Liying rejected it in the next second:

   "No way, how can there be so much talk in the show? It will be cut."

   "Uh... so what?"

   "We can continue this line of thinking, just be more straightforward..."

  At this time, Jing Tian, ​​who had been silent by the side, said:

   "I think it's better to just say "no" simply."

   "...?"

  Zhao Liying was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously looked at her.

  Jing Tian shook her head:

   "Being a soldier is enough to perform your duties. No matter what Gu Xiaomeng says, he won't waver, saying no. That's enough~"

   “…but how will the audience remember you that way?”

"Well…"

  Jing Tian was a little surprised...

  She didn't answer this question, because it was a bit out of line.

   "Why don't we both try it out? Let's see which director Xu is satisfied with?"

  After Zhao Liying finished speaking, Jing Tian thought for a while and nodded:

"good."

  …

  Ten minutes later, Xu Xin and Wang Sicong stood next to the camera. In the camera, Lin Xunxin held a gun and stood straight. A crystal ashtray next to him was used as a phone.

   Zhao Liying stood in the distance, adjusting her breathing.

  Xu Xin admired her professional attitude, and personally gave a reminder:

   "Come on, countdown, three, two, one."

   "Go~"

  Following his words, Zhao Liying held a note from someone unknown in her hand, and walked step by step in front of Lin Xunxin, who was standing guard on the phone:

   "Brother~ I want to call home and bring some things. Just a minute~ okay?"

   "No! There is an order from Shangfeng, prohibiting anyone from contacting the outside world!"

  Lin Juxin looked unusually upright, without squinting.

   After Zhao Liying heard this, she suddenly started acting like a baby:

   "Just a minute, okay? You buy wine and drink this ocean..."

   "Miss Gu, it's your duty, please go back!"

   "Oh brother~~~"

  She leans forward slightly...

   "Crack~"

   Sanba Dagai flicked his gun and landed in front of the two of them.

   This scene is over.

  Xu Xin didn't speak, but just looked back at the scene.

  From Zhao Liying entering the camera to the end of the conversation between the two...

  He didn't say anything, just waved his hand:

   "Jing Tianlai."

   Soon, Jing Tian also walked in front of Lin Xunxin.

Compared with Zhao Liying's enchanting pace, her walking is much simpler. She is neither seductive nor flattering. On the contrary, she folded her arms and came to Lin Yuxin step by step, and said in a commanding tone :

   "I'm going to call the family and ask them to bring something over."

"no."

  Lin Juxin still maintains the same posture just now, still looking upright.

  Hearing this, Jing Tian took another half step forward.

   got closer to him.

   It seems to reflect the sense of oppression. But Lin Juxin is taller than her, so she needs to look up. And this raising of the head... any sense of oppression is gone.

  The character image is fragmented.

  But Jing Tian didn't know anything. After raising her head, she deliberately got closer and said:

   "Just a minute~"

   "Gudu~"

  Lin Juxin made a gesture of swallowing saliva, but still shook his head:

"no!"

   "Please~ Just a minute..."

   She moves closer.

   As soon as the word "begging" is spoken, let alone fragmented, people are simply gone.

   And Lin Xunxin finally showed a hint of backing, but not directly backing, but leaning back, as if trying to avoid her, and there was a bit of stammering in his tone:

   "Say... say no... no way!"

  Three "temptations" are over.

  The play is also over.

  Then, the three of them looked at the director instinctively at the same time, wanting to see what's going on...

   But Xu Xin's brows were already tightly wrinkled...

   There was a trace of anxiety in the eyes of the three of them at the same time.

  …

  How was the performance of these two scenes?

   To be honest, it's pretty bad.

  But considering the "stage" of the three of them, Xu Xin can understand.

   What's more, he set up this scene just to see if Lin Xunxin can play this role with lines.

  Because this scene has another structure in the original content.

   What he said today was simple.

  In the original script, it was Gu Xiaomeng who walked out of the room holding a sticky note. After seeing the **** guarding the phone, he walked over and said:

   "Hey~ Brother, you've worked hard, are you alone?"

  Soldier: "Everyone else went downstairs to support."

  Gu Xiaomeng: "Support? Just like the real thing..."

   As she spoke, she put her hand on the phone: "I want to call home, just say a few words."

  Soldier: "Director Wang has an order to prohibit contact with the outside world. Miss Gu, please don't embarrass us."

  Gu Xiaomeng: "Difficult? When I call home, I will say a few words, at most three."

   As she spoke, her body began to lean forward slowly, as if she was coquettish with the soldiers.

  Gu Xiaomeng: "Why don't you sit next to me and listen?"

  The soldiers began to retreat, but they still said firmly: "No one is allowed to use the phone without the permission of Director Wang!"

  At the same time, he put his hand on the gun box on his waist.

  Gu Xiaomeng pouted dissatisfiedly, and took out the list he wrote: "Forget it, I don't make things difficult for you, just ask my family to bring these things to me. Okay, please~"

  She acted coquettishly to the soldier, and even patted the honest soldier's cheek with her hand.

   Seeing the soldier panicking, he smiled playfully and planned to go back to the room. At this time, Wang Tianxiang's voice came from downstairs:

   "Miss Gu~"

  She was called to the reception room.

   This is the original script.

  But Xu Xin felt that this paragraph was too bloated and a little disharmonious.

  But for a while, I haven't found any good way to deal with it. Because in this passage, Gu Xiaomeng's list will eventually fall into the hands of Wutian, and through the dialogue between Wutian and Wang Tianxiang on this list, Gu Xiaomeng's rich family background is drawn out.

   It is also a serial drama.

  Deletion and modification are not allowed.

   But feel bloated.

   And just when I had no inspiration... I didn’t expect to try out Lin Xing’s new lines, but instead gained a kind of thinking.

   Not Zhao Liying's kind.

  There is actually nothing wrong with her performance just now. If she gives the correct lines, she can also perform it.

  His inspiration is in the scene between Jing Tian and Lin Yuxin.

  As a director, his thinking must be one step ahead of others, and he always starts from the overall situation.

  Not to mention Jing Tian's acting skills, he was attracted by Lin Juxin's three "No".

  Unconsciously, the scene between Yang Mi and Lin Xunxin appeared in his mind.

   Facing Gu Xiaomeng's pressing step by step, the young and immature soldiers blushed, but they still shouted "no" straightforwardly.

   And the scene ends.

  It sounded simple at first glance, and it didn't make Xu Xin frown and think.

  The reason why he is like this is because he has connected another scene in series.

   That was when Wu Tian was checking Li Ningyu's body, Wu Zhiguo broke into Gu Xiaomeng's room.

  Wang Tianxiang rushed over after receiving the news.

  But he didn’t rush into Gu Xiaomeng’s room to save people immediately, instead he went to the messenger first:

   "Why didn't you stop him?"

  Pawn: "I want to stop, but I dare not stop."

  The background explained here is the majesty revealed by Wu Zhiguo as the boss of these puppet troops.

  Then, after Wang Tianxiang heard this, he said to the soldiers: "Go knock on the door and tell him that I am waiting for him in the reception room."

  Then the soldiers went to knock on the door and met Wu Zhiguo who was disheveled.

  Xu Xin directly linked the scenes of Gu Xiaomeng and the pawns performed by the three of them here.

  In his mind, Wang Zhiwen quickly went upstairs with a lantern in his hand, and asked the orderly on the phone:

   "Why don't you stop him!"

  The soldier's answer is no longer "I want to stop but I dare not stop", but:

   "Stop it!"

   "Stopped him and went in!? What are you talking about?"

   Facing Wang Tianxiang's questioning, the soldiers still had an upright face:

"no!"

  The image of an honest and straightforward supporting role immediately popped into my mind.

   He couldn't help laughing:

   "Haha~"

   Throughout the film, he intends to use it to create this terrifying atmosphere.

   And this scene, it feels like a person who is still drowning and finally floats to the surface of the water, taking a deep breath.

   Even after taking a breath, sinking into the cold and dark bottom of the water.

   But this breath will definitely become the most memorable scene in everyone's heart.

  The more he thought about it, the more appropriate it became.

   But as everyone knows, his appearance of being immersed in his inner world and unconsciously laughing out loud seems a little confusing to several people.

  Director Xu...

  What do you think?

  Laughing so happily?
