Xie Zhaoyan's appearance is not much different from the peak period, but has a charm of years infiltrated. When she speaks, she is energetic and radiant, which can be called a murderous act. Because people are beautiful enough, they are a little narcissistic and not annoying.
Everyone knew that Xie Zhaoyan was joking. They did not break the lie that she was pursued by the two directors, but smiled and nodded in agreement: "Years of misunderstanding have finally come to light..."
With Chu Xiaxing as the party involved, she didn't feel that the truth was revealed, on the contrary, strange rumors had increased. She used to think that the director should not be on the show, just stay behind the scenes, but now she realizes that it is important to appear in front of the stage.
Chu Xiaxing: If the director doesn't show up in front of the stage, he will be arbitrarily choreographed by unscrupulous actors, and he won't even be able to talk back!
After Xie Zhaoyan finished saying this, she secretly stared at Chu Xiaxing's expression, but when she saw him drinking tea calmly, she couldn't help showing a hint of hesitation.
Fan Ke laughed and said, "Won't that make Director Xu angry?"
Xie Zhaoyan responded casually: "No, I told him before the show, and I plan to find a better director than him in "Light and Shadow 24 Frames" to prepare him psychologically."
Huo Xiaogang teased: "Director Xu is ignorant at home, so he didn't help you in filming? He asked you to come to the show to find him?"
Xie Zhaoyan and Xu Xiancheng are husband and wife, she doesn't need to guard the big director at home, and she still needs to come out to find a director
Xie Zhaoyan raised her chin slightly, and she showed a confident smile: "It's not that he didn't help, it's that he couldn't take pictures, but I wanted to take pictures too much, so I came to find them myself."
Xie Zhaoyan has been on variety shows for a long time. She also has her own reason for participating, that is, to find a suitable director for the project she is preparing.
"The actors and the script are already available, and now the most important positions are left. I hope the directors will not disappoint me." Xie Zhaoyan looked around at the surprised people, she blinked lightly, and said sincerely, "I'm looking forward to everyone The teacher has surpassed Lao Xu!"
The directors were quite shocked when they heard the news. Huo Xiaogang was so shocked that his jaw could not be closed, and then he smiled bitterly: "This is really high expectations, and it even weighed us down..."
Even if they are old directors with works, they dare not speak out nonsense about surpassing Xu Xiancheng. This is to challenge the geniuses in the industry. Xie Zhaoyan said that even Director Xu could not make this play, so what kind of work would it have to be
Xie Zhaoyan: "Lao Xu can't make it, because the style doesn't match, it doesn't mean that the directors can't do it."
Gong Zhan was taciturn the whole time, but he suddenly asked, "Who is the lead actor..."
Xie Zhaoyan smiled: "Of course it's me."
This is even more important news. Xie Zhaoyan has not worked for several years, and has been in a leisurely state of seclusion. Outsiders feel that she is starting to enjoy life and will no longer run around in the crew. If she reappears on the screen, I am afraid that many fans will rush to the cinema, which can be said to have its own topic.
Chu Xiaxing was also quite surprised, Xie Zhaoyan is now a full-level number, I don't know why she wants to come back to film. In fact, the people in the circle are not model workers like Chu Xiaxing. They will gradually fade out of their careers at a certain stage and return to a quiet and peaceful life.
Everyone had a playful mentality and didn't take the show seriously, but Xie Zhaoyan actually wanted to choose a director for her new play, which instantly aroused the fighting spirit of everyone present. Directors don't care about winning or losing, it's just that the rewards are not enough, and the show team can't afford them, but now it's different.
"It's a must to cheer up, I can't wait to hear the title..." Fan Ke was gearing up, and deliberately joked, "The program team will renew the contract for me later, don't eliminate me so quickly!"
Everyone smiled and looked at Xie Zhaoyan, waiting for her to say the topic.
Xie Zhaoyan opened her arms, she motioned them to look around the house, and smiled: "The theme of the first issue is to remake a classic work. As for which movie it is, the answer is hidden in this tea room."
Huo Xiaogang heard the words, he immediately stood up to check, scratching his head blankly: "How can you guess this?"
Fan Ke: "When I entered the house, I felt that the layout was familiar, especially like the tea room in "Dongyan"..."
"Dongyan" is a martial arts movie directed by Xu Xiancheng. Although it failed miserably at the box office that year, it was regarded as a classic by later generations.
Gong Zhan carefully looked at the paintings and calligraphy on the wall. He also checked the items displayed on the Bogu shelf, and said with certainty, "It should be "The Sword of Cold Water". This painting and calligraphy is clearly written, and there are tiger symbols on the shelf."
Huo Xiaogang was filming an idol drama, and his eyes were dazed: "Can you all guess it?"
Although everyone has watched classic movies, not everyone can remember the details of the movie. Because the directors are unprepared, they can only rely on the accumulated speculation in the past to find common ground.
Fan Ke: "It does look more like "The Sword of Cold Water". Does this really want us to surpass Director Xu?"
"Sword of Cold Water" is also Xu Xiancheng's film work, and it is Xu Xiancheng's work to wash away the box office shame of "Dongyan".
Xie Zhaoyan smiled and said, "Do you have any other answers? Are they all sure it's the Sword of Cold Water?"
Because Fan Ke and Gong Zhan both vowed to say "Han Shui Sword", the remaining directors did not refute, but echoed: "It should be right, the interior of the house is very similar..."
Chu Xiaxing said coldly, "I guess it's 'Man Ran'."
Fan Ke hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "No, there is absolutely no element of "Man Ran" in this room. The first thing I checked was "Man Ran"..."
"Man Ran" is Xu Xiancheng's famous masterpiece, and it is also the content that Fan Ke is least willing to remake. The directing style of this film is too obvious. After the script has been changed by Director Xu, the story is loose, and it conveys the color of artistic conception, and there are not many ups and downs.
If the story is not complicated enough, it depends on the director very much. If it wasn't for Director Xu's filming, there would be no such flavor, and it is really hard to surpass.
Chu Xiaxing plausibly said, "Because there is no "Man Ran", that's why it is."
Gong Zhan frowned in disapproval. He was the one who first proposed "The Sword of Cold Water", so he asked back, "What do you mean?"
Chu Xia Xingyun said lightly: "This is called Dao Xu's Museum, it basically covers all of his works, the tea room layout is modeled after "Dongyan", the painting and calligraphy is "Cold Water Sword", and the little dwarf in the corner is out of place. The stool is from "The Last Cloud", and a collection of Tagore's poems on the small table is from "The Horn of Dawn"..."
Chu Xiaxing is familiar with Xu Xiancheng's works, mainly because he is a low-yield director, and he is her long-term external opponent, so he naturally recites the other party's films like a fluent. She did not memorize the information in the text, but memorized the shots taken by Xu Xiancheng, just like her familiarity with "Man Ran", accurate to a few minutes.
Ordinary people want to surpass the genius who is eaten by the gods, then they have to work hard to understand him better than the other party, and break it apart and smash it to understand.
Xu Xiancheng may never understand Chu Xiaxing in her life, but she has already penetrated each other through his works.
What he can't do, she can do.
Huo Xiaogang saw the unnamed book on the small table, he quickly picked it up and flipped through it. After seeing the content, he was stunned: "It's really a collection of Tagore's poems, but the cover is not written, and you haven't come to read it, how can you know?"
The cover of this book was blank, and everyone mistook it for a prop, but unexpectedly there was content. Chu Xiaxing was clearly sitting at the tea table, yet she didn't even come to open the pages of the book, yet she knew the contents of the book
Chu Xiaxing replied casually: "I saw it when I entered the room. I didn't think much about it at the time. I just thought that the angle between the book and the table was the same as in the movie."
Huo Xiaogang was shocked: "Are your eyes an instrument? Can you remember the angle of the props?"
Fan Ke was also frightened by Chu Xiaxing's memory. He raised his hand weakly and asked, "I'm sorry, but I have to disturb the recording of the show. I have a few things I want to make sure. We really don't have a set decision for the show, right?"
Fan Ke: If it wasn't for the private answer, who could have said it so accurately that it was so terrifying!
Program crew: "..." Why can't this black pot be taken off
When the program crew faced the directors with questioning faces, they frantically shook their heads and waved their hands, indicating that there was no shady scene.
Gong Zhan retorted: "It's too arbitrary to guess "Man Ran" like this. If you mention one less work, there is no "Little Girl" here."
Although Chu Xiaxing explained Xu Xiancheng's works clearly, it only means that her movie reserve is amazing, and it does not mean that she can guess the correct answer. Gong Zhan also remembered all the works of Director Xu, and he felt that it was inappropriate to guess "Man Ran" by means of exclusion.
"Little Girl?" Chu Xiaxing looked at Xie Zhaoyan, who was sitting upright. She glanced up and down at the other party's dress, and said carelessly, "This dress is not "Little Girl", but just changed the color of the cheongsam."
After Fan Ke reminded him, he suddenly realized: "Oh, it's true, I didn't even find out, is this considered to increase the difficulty, deliberately making things difficult for us..."
The iconic dress in the movie "Little Girl" is a green cheongsam, but Xie Zhaoyan changed the color of the cheongsam. She chose a color that better suits her skin and did not keep it as it was.
Xie Zhaoyan's love for beauty was exposed, but she was not embarrassed or disturbed, but skillfully dumped the blame: "I was afraid that Lao Xu would think too much when he saw green, so I said that I would wear a cheongsam of other colors, and I didn't want to make things difficult for the directors."
As soon as Xie Zhaoyan said this, the directors already knew the answer. Chu Xiaxing's speculation was not wrong. The only work missing in the tea room was "Man Ran".
Xie Zhaoyan showed an elegant smile and said slowly: "Since there is a lack of "Man Ran" in the house, I would trouble the directors to bring it back after filming. The remake only takes ten minutes, and you can choose any part of the movie to play..."
Fan Ke was overwhelmed and said helplessly, "It's really "Man Ran"!"
Huo Xiaogang: "Is this determined to create a problem, let us compete with Director Xu?"
"Man Ran" is a literary film. It's not without reason that Xia Hong and Zhou Xuelu didn't understand after watching it. Everyone understands something different. As a classic case of audio-visual language courses in film and television colleges, it naturally has its own unique points, and everything is said.
Audio-visual language is the most important basis for filming, including shots, shot shooting, shot assembly and sound-picture relationship. It can be said to be a symbol coding system of mass media. As long as it is related to the word "language", it is to convey a certain message, and each director's "language" is different.
"Man Ran" has perfectly conveyed the message that Director Xu wanted to show, and it is not easy for Chu Xiaxing and others to break his language system now. Because there are precedents, they will be compared.
"Man Ran" is the genre that Director Xu is best at. The directors would rather remake other films than choose this one. However, Xie Zhaoyan has thrown out the theme, and now they can only face the difficulty and leave to shoot.
Chu Xiaxing also didn't expect to remake "Man Ran" one day. She was hit hard after watching it for the first time, but now she has the opportunity to challenge it head-on.
