When Chu Xiaxing heard him say the word "understanding", he felt both familiar and unfamiliar. She had heard too many so-called understanding of herself, but most of them made her dismissive, and she became more and more sure that no one understood her.
Some people say that she pays too much attention to career, has no family concept, and does not possess the good virtues of traditional women; some people say that she has outstanding personal ability, independent self-improvement and perfection, and not starting a family is the best choice she made. However, these two types of remarks are both narrow and prejudiced, and they just want to use their own opinions to force her to argue, which cannot be called understanding at all.
Chu Xiaxing was first a human being, then a woman, and then a female director, but most people would never understand this. The first step that outsiders do is to define a scope for her and give her certain restrictions, but few people take the initiative to understand her original, and do not understand the real reason for her celibacy.
Chu Xiaxing thought that the words and deeds just now were enough to hurt people, but the Buddha is worthy of being a Buddha. Facing Song Wenye's serious expression, she also put away the tone of the gun and stick, and asked back, "How do I get to know each other again?"
Song Wenye said peacefully: "Follow your pace, just like ordinary friends, it just so happens that we don't owe each other anymore."
Chu Xiaxing said lazily, "Mr. Song, I used to respect you as the boss of the management. If you are really an ordinary friend, I don't have a good attitude."
Song Wenye glanced at her in surprise, he appeared to be hesitant to speak, and wished to write "You seem to have a good attitude now" written all over his face.
Song Wenye's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly: "I just paid back my favor, who is not."
Chu Xiaxing: "?" What do you mean? Dare to talk back when you're done with your favor
Chu Xiaxing sneered: "If I were seven or eighty, you wouldn't want to know or understand me."
Song Wenye said calmly, "I really didn't expect that the powerful Director Chu would say such things. I thought you should be very confident in yourself."
"That's right, Director Chu is the type who judges people by appearance. You don't care about your inner and personality at all. You always only look at your face." Lost contact, if I were seven or eighty, you wouldn't even have the patience to talk to me."
Chu Xiaxing, as an old-fashioned dog, was brutally counter-killed at this time, and she was speechless for a while: "..."
Chu Xiaxing: It's human nature to pay attention to appearance. Can a director like a good-looking face to be lecherous? That's called professionalism!
Chu Xiaxing was rarely stabbed by him, but she was not angry, she relaxed inexplicably. If Song Wenye had a completely submissive attitude of repaying her kindness, she would have felt quite angry. Now the two of them have an equal attitude of communication, and they are much freer without restraint.
Chu Xiaxing casually threw the mineral water bottle into the trash can, and said unceremoniously, "Okay, kid, don't babble about me, hurry up and drive to the parking lot, I have to go to the company tomorrow."
Song Wenye hesitated: "... Your attitude has become so fast?" Now you don't even have the title of President Song anymore
Chu Xiaxing raised her eyebrows impatiently: "It's your honor to drive for me, why can't you handle it so clearly!" She also rode in the car of the best actor and actress back then. Could it be that the executives of Yuansheng Group are amazing
Song Wenye: "..."
Song Wenye was amused by her unreasonable attitude, so he could only drive to the parking lot with a good temper, and then send her back according to the location Chu Xiaxing said.
In the community, Song Wenye was sitting in the car. He stared at the single-family villa next to him in a daze. Just now, he was confused when he heard the voice of Chu Xiaxing in the back seat. She said nonchalantly: "Did you start to wonder again, why can I live here? Now I am full of curiosity?"
Chu Xiaxing opened the car door calmly. After she got out of the car, she closed the car door neatly, and her movements were chic and smooth.
Song Wenye nodded honestly: "Yes, I'm very curious, can Director Chu answer my questions for me?"
Chu Xiaxing said maliciously: "Curious? Then you should be curious. It's better to struggle with your heart and lungs all night. If you can't sleep, it's just right!"
Song Wenye: "?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Be honest and be a good child. I'll let you know when I'm in a good mood."
Song Wenye pursed his lips, and he reminded hesitantly, "... We re-acquainted ourselves as friends, shouldn't I be a child?"
Song Wenye: Do you have an inexplicable feeling of being bullied
Chu Xiaxing said perfunctorily: "Hey, why do you pay attention to these details, there is no difference."
Song Wenye: "..."
Chu Xiaxing used to be concerned that Song Wenye was the boss of the management company, and inexplicably showed a suspicious sense of care. Naturally, he couldn't let go of his hands and feet. Excellent directors always gave Fang A face. However, now that he wants to come over to understand and propose to be an ordinary friend who does not owe each other, then she has no worries.
Chu Xiaxing: How can I not be bullied as my friend? Even Ningning was bullied by me since childhood!
Song Wenye saw her so magnanimous, his rational doubts vanished, and he simply let his intuition judge, and replied, "Okay."
In the past, Song Wenye only had a rational Sun God spirit, but now for the first time, he walked with a feeling of instability. He could only rely on illusory trust and wait for her explanation at some point. He was really drunk without alcohol.
After Chu Xiaxing said goodbye to Driver Song, she went back to the house and rested very well. She went to the company to discuss the sample budget with Xia Hong, and made an appointment with Cao Yangang to finalize the actors and shooting location, and then started shooting samples in full swing.
Although it's just a sample of the "Wu Dao" movie, it takes a lot of effort to tell the truth. The main movie can play more things on the camera than the TV series. There are dozens of episodes in domestic TV series, and each episode takes more than 40 minutes. The overall volume is relatively large, it is difficult to have the energy to play new things, and the shooting pressure itself is not low.
The duration of a movie is shorter than that of a TV series, and the amount of information displayed per minute can be more, and the rhythm is not easy to procrastinate.
In Chu Xiaxing's samples, only Cao Yangang showed his face. After all, Wang Toyota may use the sample to knock other actors. If the sample actors have already shown their faces, the official actors may be trapped after watching them.
Chu Xiaxing was indeed a little selfish in letting Cao Yangang show his face. She felt that Wang Toyota couldn't choose a more suitable person, so she was willing to give him a positive shot, and the two were not from the same company, which was already considered to avoid suspicion.
Because Zhou Xuelu was an actor of Fanke Films, Chu Xiaxing didn't put the other party in, and the sample film didn't even show female characters. She didn't want to be talked about by others, and it wasn't good for Zhou Xuelu either.
On the day of the sample screening, Chu Xiaxing and Xia Hong came to Wang Toyota's company again and sat in the screening room with everyone. Wang Zhi and Li Jie also came forward. Wang Zhi was no longer drunk and embarrassed today, but the others obviously remembered his gaffe that day, and greeted him embarrassingly and politely.
Chu Xiaxing sat next to Xia Hong, she didn't even get up to see Wang Zhi, and waited for the screening to start calmly.
Wang Zhi looked at Chu Xiaxing a little confusedly now. He had forgotten what she said that day, and he would lose his memory for a short time when he was drunk. Not many people knew about it. He usually falls asleep peacefully, and only breaks down when he is stimulated. Li Jie hasn't relayed what he heard after drinking, so he naturally doesn't know the truth now.
Li Jie definitely wouldn't ask Wang Zhi directly if he had a bad relationship with Director Chu, then he was a bit silly. Wang Zhi inexplicably felt that the people around him were a lot indifferent to him, but he couldn't think of the reason, and he was a little confused. Quan should be an illusion.
Wang Toyota graciously greeted the crowd and said with a smile, "I can't wait to see the masterpieces of the directors, so in what order shall we come?"
Someone proposed: "Come to a powerful town first!"
Wang Toyota: "How do you know which is the best if you haven't seen it yet?"
"Isn't Director Wang experienced? Let's take a look at Director Wang first!"
"Will you blow up when you come up?"
Wang Zhi was the most experienced director on the scene. He couldn't beat the others in the end, so he pretended to come forward and said, "Okay, then I'll start by throwing bricks at the scene."
Chu Xiaxing was still in the back of the queue. It was really unfortunate that everyone would not have the patience to read it and make a choice at the front.
Chu Xiaxing was still calm, but Xia Hong whispered: "There are still so many people who support liars..."
Xia Hong had already determined that Wang Zhi was a liar director. No matter how he looked at the other party, he felt suspicious, as if he had a small animal intuition.
When the lights in the projection room were dimmed, the subtitle of "Sample of "Wu Dao" appeared on the screen, followed by a rotating picture. The camera shot through a simple wooden window, and the characters and things were constantly changing as the sky swirled. The main male characters Continue to appear in the life scene. The director uses the dynamic to cover up the editing point, which only makes people dazzled.
Chu Xiaxing looked at the picture on the screen, she made a sound of unknown meaning: "Ha."
Wang Toyota was also stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "It's really nostalgic..."
"This is also a tribute to the classic! I loved that play miserably!"
"After all, Director Wang used to execute for Director Chu..."
Everyone obviously understood Wang Zhi's picture, and began to discuss excitedly.
Xia Hong has always been ignorant and ignorant. His reading volume was extremely low, and he said helplessly: "What are they talking about?"
Chu Xiaxing said with an expressionless face: "Learning people is good at learning people. You can only take pictures one by one. This group of shots is not his idea, how can you be the same as the students in school."
This is an old film that Chu Xiaxing made decades ago, and the style of that film is really similar to "Wu Dao". This group of shots has also been praised by many film critics, and often appears in the professional classroom of the director department as the content of students pulling films.
At the beginning, Wang Zhi imitated the classic scenes to grab people's attention, and then put some of his own content later, which is also a smart approach, and will not immediately expose his weaknesses. It is not appropriate to call this kind of thing plagiarism. After all, copying the works of masters is not called plagiarism. In the movie, it is called a tribute to the classics!
Chu Xiaxing and Xu Xiancheng are old material libraries for domestic directors.
At the end of the screening of Wang Zhi's demo, everyone gave a warm applause. Obviously, they were all stunned by the scene at the beginning. After watching it, I still have a lot of aftertastes. Xia Hong perfunctoryly followed and patted it twice, but Chu Xiaxing didn't even raise her hand. No matter how arrogant she was, she was someone who wanted to be embarrassed. How could she applaud her own work
Wang Fengtian looked at the lively scene but hesitated. He didn't seem to agree with it, and when he saw that Chu Xiaxing didn't respond, he suddenly said, "What do you think, little Director Chu?"
Only Chu Xiaxing was so indifferent at the scene, which made Wang Toyota very curious.
Chu Xiaxing said frankly: "This play was considered good in the past, but it is still the same now, so it's not enough to watch."
Wang Zhi frowned slightly, and Li Jie disagreed: "Classics have always been classics, and some things will not be outdated."
Chu Xiaxing sneered and said, "This set of shots received rave reviews back then, because the technology was not good enough at that time, and there was neither the blessing of the aerial camera nor the rich editing special effects. This is the first time everyone has seen this kind of shooting. Fa, of course, there will be a bright feeling, but now the times are different."
Chu Xiaxing did not have the current advanced machines in the past. They could only shoot with the best equipment at that time, but the technology was constantly evolving. The effect that she had worked so hard to accomplish in the past can now be accomplished easily with technology, how can it be the same
Chu Xiaxing said in an orderly manner: "Even if that movie did become a big success, it was due to the overall level of storytelling, not just a set of shots..."
"Director Wang should try to get out of the shadow of Director Chu Xiaxing's past. Don't you think she can only shoot this kind of scene now?" Chu Xiaxing glanced at Wang Zhi with a half-smiling smile, she was so long ago I found that he didn't think about it and stayed in the past forever, which now seems to be the case.
Wang Toyota nodded subconsciously. He really felt that this set of shots was very good. After all, it was a classic work of Director Chu back then, but he did not think it could completely fit with "Wu Dao". The camera and technology ultimately serve the story, but the content of the two stories is very different.
In fact, Wang Zhi knew his weakness early on, so he was reluctant to make a sample at the beginning, so he shut up at this time with a guilty conscience.
Li Jie looked at Chu Xiaxing, who was outspoken, but he felt annoyed that he was being bullied, and mocked: "Little Director Chu, it's better to be humble when speaking and doing things. Is it a little too much to point out Director Chu's shots?"
Li Jie: Are you the most powerful director who dares to love the world
The others nodded in agreement. They all felt that Director Chu's shots were well assembled, and that Chu Xiaxing's instructions hit them in the face. Her tone was as if she knew the best and most sober, they were all just goofing off arty.
Chu Xiaxing felt powerless when she heard the words. For the first time, she experienced the atmosphere of the rice circle that Han Chuning had mentioned before. She understood the mentality of some fanatical netizens, and had a feeling of fighting with her fans on the spot.
Idol (candid): I feel like I'm still a little flawed.
Fan (in a hoarse voice): No! Brother is perfect! Brother is just self-defeating, you don't understand at all!
Chu Xiaxing could recognize the fact that she spoke ill of Director Xu, but she couldn't even evaluate herself!
Wang Toyota smiled and said, "Then let's take a look at the demo of Director Chu."
When everyone saw Wang Toyota coming forward, they no longer had any objections. They returned to their seats to watch the movie, all wanting to see what the arrogant Chu Xiaxing could produce.
In the projection room, no picture appeared on the pitch-black curtain. Instead, a sudden thunder sounded in the ear, which shocked everyone. After the thunder, bright and snow-white electric light pierced the night sky, followed by the sound of thunder, and the camera entered the dilapidated old house.
There was no light in the room, and under the constant flashing electric light, the dark shadows of several men were reflected on the pale wall. They whispered and argued, and then drew knives to face each other. After the dazzling electric light passed, the dark shadow on the wall suddenly disappeared, leaving only the creaking sound of the wooden door of the old house. This group of shots was full of tension.
Chu Xiaxing used lightning and thunder to describe the key plot of "Wu Dao" to the extreme, condensing countless amounts of information into a few minutes, and it was dizzying to watch. She wants to show Wang Toyota the overall style of the film. This story has a tough and cold temperament, very similar to lightning and thunder, which is not an image in the original script.
Directors and screenwriters are not natural enemies. Their respective jobs are different, but there are not too many contradictions. She is not trying to change the story of the writer, but to better use the lens to improve it, and even extend more connotations.
Li Jie didn't care when he first saw it, he waited for the arrogant Chu Xiaxing to be slapped in the face, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't find the fault for a long time. He probed and saw Wang Toyota staring at the picture, feeling even more uneasy in his heart, and felt uneasy for a while.
After the screening of the sample film, Wang Toyota felt a sense of loss. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time, scratching his head and saying, "I think about it, I think about it..."
Wang Toyota took out a pen and paper and seemed to be lost in thought.
Li Jie saw the timing, and he hurriedly interrupted: "Mr. Wang, let's watch the next sample first, and then we can think about it together?"
Wang Toyota stretched out his hand to stop it: "No, no, no, I mean to think about how to adjust the script, and then combine the thunder and lightning with the story, not to think about the sample..."
Hearing this, Xia Hong showed a look of surprise. He read out Wang Toyota's subtext and looked at the calm Chu Xiaxing at a loss. He was too happy to sit still.
"You don't need to watch the demos anymore, I don't think I can pick them out! Even Director Xu is sitting here today, he's just like that, he can't surpass this!"
Wang Toyota made the decision loudly and loudly. A good story needs to meet a suitable director, and sometimes it has nothing to do with fame or seniority, but inner temperament. In addition to this little director Chu, he can't think of a more suitable person for the time being. The matching between the director's style and the story is too high!
Xia Hong was overjoyed, and Li Jie's face was pale.
After Chu Xiaxing heard the evaluation, she admired Wang Toyota a bit. The other party was much more persistent when he was black, and her black powder purity was still not high enough.
Chu Xiaxing: No, no, no, can this be enough to step on Director Xu
