I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 77: 075. One step at a time

  Chapter 77 075. Step by step

  Everyone sat in the hotel box until after 2 o'clock.

   The discussion is still dead.

  Although there are many constructive opinions, it is related to the Olympic Games, and we must be cautious, cautious, and cautious in controlling every link.

   But the topic of paying tribute to previous Olympic Games has been set.

  Zhang Yimou asked the big guys to rest, and at night it depends on the situation whether everyone will follow to the crew.

  After all... There are really many mosquitoes at night in the film and television city.

  Yang Mi didn't reply with much information today.

  Just told Xu Xin that she was going to hang Wia today, and hoped that it wouldn't hurt too much today.

  To tell the truth, Xu Xin has never hanged wire, so he can't empathize with him.

   Just a word of caution.

   After returning to the room, his eyes were entangled with the script of Wulin Gaiden for a while, and finally he chose to open the notepad, trying to think about what he talked about during lunch. But at this time the hotel's phone rang suddenly.

  Xu Xin didn't think too much, and connected the phone:

"Hello?"

"Hello, sir, this is the front desk of the hotel. I saw that the hotel system has detected that you have inserted the key card, so I came here to express my apologies. It is like this, there are some lines in the room above you. Question, we are going to repair it in the afternoon. It may be a bit noisy. We sincerely apologize for causing trouble to your living environment. If possible, we have prepared coffee for you in the coffee shop on the second floor of the hotel. I wonder if you would like Can you go to the coffee shop to rest for a while?"

"repair?"

   Xu Xin raised his head in confusion:

   "How long will it take?"

   "About an hour. We will finish it as quickly as possible~"

   "...Okay, that's fine."

   "Thank you, sir, for your understanding. During the maintenance, if you feel noisy, just take your room card to the coffee shop, and our service staff will arrange it for you. Do you think it's okay?"

   "Okay, thanks, I see."

   "Thank you for your understanding, sir, and please accept our apologies for the inconvenience we have caused you..."

   "Um, bye."

  The phone hangs up.

  Xu Xin's impression of this hotel has improved a lot.

  As for the maintenance, he didn't pay much attention to it. Right now, his attention was on the dream in his mind.

  He always felt that he had seen a picture in a dream.

  But I just can’t remember what it is.

  Lighted a cigarette, spread out the drawing paper on the table, and fell into deep thought.

  The room was very quiet.

   This silence helps him think.

   And in this silence, I don't know how long it has passed...Suddenly, a burst of noise pulled Xu Xin out of his thoughts.

   Suddenly he frowned.

  Instinct raised its head...

   "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom, boom, boom..."

  He seemed to be smashing something upstairs, and the sound of thumping was so loud!

   Oh, yes, decoration.

  Recalling the phone call when he came back, Xu Xin also knew that he couldn't stay in this room, so he planned to pack up his notebooks and go to the coffee shop downstairs.

   It is indeed a bit noisy.

  He went out with his mobile phone and found that Yang Mi didn't reply to the message.

   All the way down the stairs, and walked into the coffee shop with the sound of the elegant piano.

  Just as he was about to find a seat, he suddenly saw Wei Lanfang sitting alone by the window and waving at him:

   "Xiao Xu!"

   "Sister Wei?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback for a moment, then walked over:

   "Why are you here?"

   "Did you come down because of the sound of the decoration?"

   Wei Lanfang said directly.

  The two of them live in the next room, and she guessed it when Xu Xin came.

  Xu Xin responded with a smile:

   "Well, it's true, it's very noisy upstairs... Sister Wei, did you just come?"

"Yes."

  At this time, the waiter came over with the menu.

   After Xu Xin took the card and explained the situation, the other party understood, and said that he would give a pot of blue mountain and an afternoon tea set with snacks to express his apology, just like Wei Lanfang.

  He didn't know much about coffee, or he wasn't interested at all, so he simply ordered a pot of 588 Longjing.

  The tea money is settled now, and it does not take advantage of the country or the new picture.

   After the waiter left, Wei Lanfang said:

   "Don't like coffee?"

   "I don't like it. It's bitter, my mouth is still sour after drinking it."

  Shaking his head, he took out the notepad, before opening it, Wei Lanfang's phone rang.

   "It's Director Zhang."

   She spoke quickly and connected the phone.

   "Hello, Director Zhang..."

   After Zhang Yimou said a few words, she nodded:

   "Okay, then I know, I will inform everyone..."

   Then, she suddenly changed the topic:

"Director Zhang, when are you going to leave?...Well, I'm not with Xiao Xu, our room is upstairs for decoration, and we're both in the coffee shop. How about...the two of us and you go too? What can I do to help…”

   "...????"

  Xu Xin was speechless for a moment.

   To put it bluntly, Xu Xin already guessed that this sister pouted her ass...

  Cough cough.

  She wants to see Jay Chou!

   Sure enough, Wei Lanfang was winking at him.

   Then he burst out laughing:

   "Pfft...not...Director Zhang, we must be helping you...Mmm, okay, then we will go there!...Eh, okay, you hang up first~"

  The phone hangs up.

  Xu Xin was speechless:

   "My sister, you old man wants to go, why do you want to drag me?"

Seeing that Xu Xin had already guessed it, Wei Lanfang was not embarrassed, but used a... how should I put it, rolling her eyes, but in fact it was more like a tone of "getting on the thief ship together" among friends, and came One sentence:

"Xiao Xu, it's up to this time whether it's interesting or not! We don't want to sign, I want to go by myself... How embarrassing. You and I, we both said that we came to study. Anyway, Director Zhang said that there will be no meeting in the afternoon, Let's go over and have a look, get in touch with the crew... Isn't your classmate here too, maybe you can get a trick or something... You should be making a contribution to the classmate."

   "..."

  Xu Xin was even more speechless:

   "Sister Wei, you really caught someone to death!"

   "...Didn't you cheat me in the morning, saying that I would treat everyone to dinner?"

have to.

   Dig a hole and bury myself?

  He shook his head helplessly, and suddenly pointed to the waiter who had already filled a pot of tea:

   "What should I do with this pot of 588 tea?"

  Hearing this, Wei Lanfang suddenly laughed mischievously, and took out his thermos from under the table.

  Xu Xin was even more speechless:

   "I poured the tea I ordered myself into your thermos?"

   "Two tickets to the Olympics!"

   "Three! My father, my brother, and my sister-in-law!"

"make a deal!"

   Naturally, Xu Xin, who knew exactly how capable a project negotiator Wei Jie was, agreed without hesitation.

   Then, holding the teapot himself, he poured the tea into Wei Lanfang's thermos.

  …

   "Hey, do you think we will ride in the same car with Jay Chou?"

  Beside the welcome desk of the hotel.

   Wei Lanfang, who was holding a thermos, asked Xu Xin with some expectation.

  Xu Xin was smoking a cigarette while guarding the trash can, shaking his head:

   "We should be in the same car with Director Zhang... Didn't you see it? When I went to the set yesterday, Jay Chou's nanny car was also there. He must be taking his own car. Why should we get in?"

   "...tsk."

   Seeing her regretful face, Xu Xin sighed helplessly:

   "Sister, your boyfriend needs to know, isn't he jealous?"

   "Him? How dare he?"

   Wei Lanfang rolled his eyes:

   "He is very obsessed with SHE~ The screen saver of his mobile phone is all them, so I didn't say anything."

  “…The one who sings “SUPERSTAR”?”

   "Yes, I can't even be a fan, I just like that Serena."

"Fine."

  Xu Xin nodded, then suddenly heard Wei Lanfang say:

   "Hey, Xiao Xu, let me tell you a secret, do you want to know?"

"…What?"

   "Let me tell you, don't tell others. In our team, I trust you the most!"

   "Well, tell me, I definitely won't say a word to others!"

  Xu Xin thought she was going to say something very important.

   Or some inside story about the Olympics that he doesn't know.

   As a result, I heard my sister say:

"The role of Sister Gong Li was promised to her by Director Zhang in the 1990s, before the two broke up. Sister Gong Li has always had a dream of a queen, the kind of mother who loves the world. But the two of them never broke up. It didn’t work out. And after getting this project this time...the role of queen, Director Zhang never considered other people..."

   "..."

  Xu Xin was taken aback...

"real or fake?"

   "Why am I lying to you? I have been following Director Zhang since I first confirmed that he will be the director of the closing ceremony in Athens. Until now. I know what is going on in "Golden Armor"."

   Wei Lanfang's eyes were full of "There are many things you don't know", while Xu Xin looked at her smug expression, thought for a while, and asked in a low voice:

   "Sister Wei, according to what you said, the role of Queen should be tailor-made for Sister Gong, right?"

"Yes."

   "...Then why doesn't Sister Gong look very happy this morning?"

"Well…"

   Now it was Wei Lanfang's turn to be a little stunned.

   "Unhappy? Not at all."

   "..."

  Seeing that she really didn't see it, Xu Xin thought for a while, then shook his head:

   "That's probably because I was overthinking it. Maybe it's about makeup? I always feel that this queen has a very cold temperament..."

  The two of them picked up these things and chatted for about two cigarettes. Several cars, including Jay Chou's nanny car, had already lined up at the VIP table.

   A group of people came out.

   "Director Zhang."

   Seeing Zhang Yimou, the two quickly greeted each other.

  Zhang Yimou nodded:

   "We share a car."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin and Wei Lanfang followed him directly onto a Ford RV.

   Cheng Xiaodong was also with him, but he didn’t see Zhang Weiping who was almost inseparable from Hengdian except for meetings with the Olympic team.

  Through the car window, Xu Xin also saw Brother Fa, Gong Li, Liu Ye, and Jay Chou.

  There were quite a few people from the film crew who were cheering. After they all got into the car, the car started to walk towards the film and television city.

   Along the way, Zhang Yimou and Cheng Xiaodong were chatting about film matters, but they were not talking about shooting topics, but rather trivial things.

  For example, armor needs to be well maintained.

   It must be my own people who are responsible for taking out and sending in the several sets of clothes worth a few million yuan from the safe every day.

   It is the design of martial arts movements.

  Cheng Xiaodong was born in martial arts after all.

  Xu Xin gradually learned about the operation of a huge crew and the general position of the director from these trivial details.

   In fact, it is like an emperor.

  He only needs to make his own request, and other people will naturally do it for him.

  Not to mention anything else, at least Assistant Shen, who was sitting on the co-pilot, never turned to the front from the beginning to the end, and quickly recorded Zhang Yimou's request with a notebook.

   And at this moment, Zhang Yimou suddenly said to Cheng Xiaodong:

   "I've already communicated with Weiping. He... will leave on the plane at night. Then a new producer will come. I will ask him to connect with you. You can rest assured to shoot your film."

  When he said this, Xu Xin noticed a small detail.

  In the car, I and Wei Lanfang were sitting in the last row.

  The most comfortable positions are naturally those of Zhang Yimou and Cheng Xiaodong.

  When Zhang Yimou said this, Cheng Xiaodong's first reaction was to look behind.

   Not looking at Xu Xin and Wei Lanfang.

   Instead, it penetrated the glass of the rear car and looked at the car following behind.

   Then he retracted his gaze.

   And Xu Xin didn't look back, but he knew whose car behind him belonged.

   belongs to Gong Li.

  So, a doubt emerged from the bottom of my heart.

  As one of the "two Zhangs", what's the matter with Zhang Weiping that Zhang Yimou needs to communicate with?

   After communicating, the other party wants to leave.

  When Director Cheng heard the news, why did he look back at Gong Li's car?

   Vaguely, he had an intuition that there should be some special story or something happened between these three people.

  Thinking of Gong Li's face in the morning and Zhang Yimou's expression when he came back from lunch at noon, he had a very strange intuition.

  There must be something wrong between Gong Li and Zhang Weiping.

   And Zhang Yimou is the mediator.

  But it was not reconciled. The person who looked for Zhang Yimou at noon should be Gong Li.

   Gong Li should be targeting Zhang Weiping.

  Zhang Yimou found it difficult to do, so when he came back, his face was a little ugly.

   Then at noon...something must have happened, Zhang Weiping had to leave...

  The reason why the other party left should be related to Gong Li.

   That was all he could guess.

   But exactly what happened... he really didn't know.

  …

  The crew of "Sculpture of God".

   "Yang Mi, get ready for the show."

  Hearing this sound, sitting in the tent specially used for actresses to change clothes, Yang Mi shouted:

   "Oh, I see."

  Her tone was full of vigor, but in fact her face was full of pain.

   After a reply, he put down his phone, picked up a roll of tape, and said to a girl next to him:

   "Dandan, please do me a favor."

  The girl's name is Zhao Dan, and she was born as a martial artist. Because of her good figure and some other reasons, she played the role of Li Mochou's female apprentice Hong Lingbo this time.

  Belongs to a member of the "little actors".

  Hearing this, she nodded cheerfully:

"no problem."

  Zhao Dan knew what Yang Mi was going to do. After taking the tape, he looked at the gauze rolled up several times under Yang Mi's rolled-up clothes, and took the tape to help her wrap it up.

  But as soon as she walked right behind Yang Mi, she suddenly saw a dark brown mark on the gauze, and she hurriedly said:

   "Mimi, the wound on your back has collapsed, and blood can be seen on the gauze."

   "...Hiss, I said."

  Hearing this, Yang Mi gritted her teeth and nodded:

   "It's been hurting since just now...it's okay, Dandan, you can pester me..."

"…good."

  Seeing the other party's gritted teeth and patience, Zhao Dan's eyes flashed with admiration.

  This time the coercion master in the crew acted very rough.

   It's like you don't know how to do that at all.

  It’s nothing to do with big actors, a few wire masters are waiting on them, and they are doing very finely. But when the little actors like them are playing coercion, they are completely fooling around. If they are **** and tied firmly, it is OK, what is the tightness and so on... As long as the director doesn't say that the angle is wrong or something, these people will ignore them. Even the protective pads are very thin, and you can tell at a glance that they are the kind of goods that are not of good quality, and the kind that will break after wearing it once.

  But no one dared to say anything.

  Because these wire masters were brought by the producer Zhang Jizhong...

   can only endure.

And the steel wire was pulled into the flesh, and the pain of being hoisted, let alone an ordinary person, even her who was born in martial arts felt the pain... But Yang Mi, the actor who played Guo Xiang in front of her, did not say a word, and completed it conscientiously tasks assigned by the director.

  To be honest, she admires it.

   But the price is also obvious.

  Today, I have a scene with "Master" Li Mochou chasing and killing Yang Guo, and the scene of Guo Xiang driving high and high has already been filmed for three scenes.

   Immediately this is the fourth game.

  Wia drama is like this, the young actors basically shoot together.

   After all, it costs money to rent a crane.

   After the opponent's three games, the lower back has obviously been strangled.

  There are two more...

  It's really tolerable.

  She sighed, took the tape and started wrapping it round and round on the gauze.

   Then, she heard a sizzling sound.

   Turning my head to look...

  Yang Mi held a tablet of pills in her hand.

   "Ibuprofen?"

   She recognized it immediately.

"Um."

  The girl nodded:

   "Eat one more...it should be fine, right?"

   "..."

  Zhao Dan was speechless.

   Just full of admiration.

   Soon, a few laps of tape were wrapped. Seeing the girl getting up and getting used to it, she whispered:

   "Don't try too hard, the wounds caused by coercion are easy to leave scars."

   "It's okay, I don't leave any scars."

  Yang Mi smiled, and politely said to the two makeup artists next to her:

   "Teachers, all right."

  The two makeup artists nodded, walked up to her and began to touch up her makeup.

   And the two of them actually saw everything that happened just now.

   Just don't care.

  What scene has the makeup artist who wandered around the crew all the year round not seen? How often do you have to swallow a broken tooth?

   Not unusual.

   There is no way.

  Who made them small actors?

  Hengdian... or the film and television industry, the most indispensable thing is young actors.

  …

   "I'm all about hanging Wia scenes today, it's really... it hurts. I feel like I must be bleeding on my back, and then I took painkillers, but it didn't seem to help much."

   "It really hurts~"

   "Wait! Wait for me to become a big star! I must invite a special effects team from Hollywood!"

   "I really want to use a double! I'm so happy to have a double!"

   "I really want to hang those hookers on the coercion, and whip them with a small leather whip!"

   "Woo, it hurts."

   "I should be busy, woo woo woo~"

  Holding a bottle of toilet water, Xu Xin frowned. After reading these few messages, his eyes fell on the group of people who were walking into the palace in the distance.

  After thinking for a while, he walked to the entrance of the hall, and said to Jay Chou, who was wearing a golden red robe, who was committing a **** Wei Lanfang:

   "Sister Wei, how long will it take?"

   "It's been until night. Didn't Director Zhang say that? We still need to take a few test shots to find out how it feels~ What's the matter?"

   Wei Lanfang was a little puzzled.

  Seeing Xu Xin frowned and thought about it, he said in a low voice:

   "Then... if there's nothing else going on right now, I'll go to the residential area first?"

   "What are you doing there?"

   "Where was my classmate that day..."

   "Oh~~~~~"

  Xu Xin hadn't said much, but this sister suddenly showed a look of instant understanding.

   Then gossip:

"you like her?"

   "Color water for you."

  Xu Xin didn't answer the question.

  Who knew that Wei Lanfang laughed even more happily:

   "All right, all right, then you go."

  My brother has a thin skin.

   I won’t say much.

Hi.

  Who didn't come from a young age?

   is talking... that girl is pretty too.

  Hearing this, Xu Xin didn't stay long, just nodded and walked quickly towards the outside of the palace.

   "Eh wait."

  Suddenly, Wei Lanfang seemed to remember something and stopped him.

  Xu Xin was a little puzzled, seeing this sister, he said:

   "Wait a minute."

   After finishing speaking, he ran into the palace, walked to Assistant Shen and said something. Then Assistant Shen nodded, took off his work card from his chest and handed it to her.

   "Here, Xiao Xu."

  After handing over the work permit to Xu Xin, she said:

   "This is all the production crew, don't be the same as this morning, then you won't be able to explain it clearly. You are quick-tempered and easy to suffer. If you take this, if people ask you, you will say Director Zhang's production crew, understand?"

   "...Come on."

  Xu Xin was surprised for a while.

  It turns out...this sister understands everything.

   Then smiled and nodded to express understanding, and waved after receiving the work permit:

"I'm leaving."

"Um."

   Farewell to Wei Lanfang, he also called Yang Mi.

  The phone keeps ringing, but no one answers.

   After he sent the other party a message of "Call me back when you see it", his eyes fell on the black cars waiting for work at the gate of the palace.

  Yesterday, the two of them went back to Hengdian, and it took a hundred and fifty kilometers to travel about ten kilometers.

  Expensive is definitely expensive.

When they got in the car, the driver thought they were a couple on a trip, and he didn't forget to give him a business card when he got off the car, saying that he could call him if he wanted a car later, and which star would the filming crew want to see, He knows the location.

  At that time, I just listened to it casually and didn't take it seriously.

   But now it comes in handy.

  The filming crew of "Sculpture of God" is not fixed in one place, so it becomes a melodrama.

  So it is unclear where Xu Xin was filmed today.

   went directly to those cars:

   "I'm going to the crew of "Sculpture of God", who knows the way?"

   Upon hearing this, several drivers who were waiting for work looked at each other, and a man came over:

   "The crew of "Sculpture of God"? One hundred yuan."

   "Is this the place where the movie was filmed today?"

   "Yes, but there is no guarantee of seeing Liu Yifei. They have a large crew and many people filming, so it depends on luck."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin didn't say much, and nodded:

"Walk."

   "Well, get in the car!"

  Maybe it's because the young man didn't counter-offer? The driver looked very excited.

   After Xu Xin got into the car, he waved to several colleagues and drove the car to lead Xu Xin in one direction.

   As a result, after walking for about five or six minutes, Xu Xin was still waiting for the call when he heard the elder brother say:

   "Here, it's here. That's it~"

  Xu Xin looked subconsciously, and saw a piece of artificial mountainous area. There were a few cranes, tents and so on beside the rockery and the suspension bridge.

  The space is not small.

   Then I heard the driver say;

   "That's the crew of "Sculpture of the Gods". They are filming Diao Wia's scene today. You can go and see it. A group of people are flying into the sky and escaping from the ground. It's very good-looking. But don't get too close, they have a security company over there."

  As soon as he heard Diao Weiya, Xu Xin had a score in his heart.

   Regardless of whether the hundred yuan was wronged or not, I gave the money, got out of the car, and walked over there.

   Sure enough, he had just walked to a place fifty or sixty meters away from the crew when the two greeted him.

  The two of them didn't need to speak this time, Xu Xin took out his work card directly:

   "I'm from the crew of "The Golden Flower" directed by Zhang Yimou. I'm here to find your actor named Yang Mi."

   Sure enough, upon hearing this, the two of them were taken aback for a moment, and then one of them stepped forward to take a look at the work permit.

  This work pass is a pass for the major areas and construction sites of Hengdian Film and Television City. It has the stamp of Hengdian Film and Television City on it to ensure that the staff can use it conveniently.

   These two people are also members of the local security company, so they can tell the truth at a glance.

   What's more...the words on the crew of "The Golden Armor in the City" are very clear.

  Crew member of Director Zhang Yimou.

  Who dares to stop?

Just kidding?

   If you can't keep a word, they, the little soldiers, can't eat and walk away.

  So, the attitude of the two became polite to the naked eye:

   "Then you come with us, there is filming over there, let's find someone from the film crew to come over and connect with you."

   "Well, well, thanks."

  These two are polite, and Xu Xin is also polite.

  If someone saves face, you have to carry it.

  Following the two of them to the front of the crew, Xu Xin didn't need to be reminded, Xu Xin had already seen Yang Mi...

She was wearing a dress specially designed for the role of Guo Xiang, and she was hanging in the sky at the moment, showing the appearance of stepping in the void. step forward.

  The posture is extremely stretched, and every time you step on the air, it gives a rebound force like the ground.

   appears lively and light.

  Then the wire tightened and moved forward, and she flew towards the distance step by step.

Step by step…

Step by step…

  Suddenly, Xu Xin frowned.

   Treading?

  Valley?

  In my mind, a bolt of lightning suddenly penetrated the fog and split all thorns and obstacles!

  The originally muddy picture became unparalleled clear!

  steps...footprints...

Etc., etc…

   All of a sudden, his eyes were completely empty.
