Even if he got the tips and strategies at the same time, Xia Cheng still couldn't take advantage of the beauty being scolded to build up his favor.
And the reason is nothing more than one thing - that bastard surnamed Ye Mingshuang is too sick to grab the show! Goldfinger is so big that he has no friends!
When Rong Su was scolded for the first time, Xia Cheng hadn't adjusted the expression he should put on... It's too pleasant, it might be misunderstood and gloat. It doesn't matter if you are too sad, people are already in a bad mood, and seeing a sad face may be more negative... So Xia Cheng, who worked so hard to find a balance, thought he could comfort his sister without being rejected, finally got up, seeing What I saw was the scene of the handsome young man sitting next to the girl and teaching him earnestly.
"The effect just now is really not ideal, but I have seen it, mainly because of the problem of the picture effect... You have to pay attention to the picture division angle in the camera position, and then adjust according to the lighting board and the background... So in a while you will be in the picture just now. The position is shifted to the left by 0.3 meters, the upper body is turned to the right and back by 25 degrees, and the shoulders are opened by an additional 15 degrees... "
Xia Cheng: "..."
After the girl passed a scene easily, the beautiful scene of the girl bouncing around and pulling Ye Shuang to cheers made the staff present smile and stare at him, making Xia Cheng blinded.
The second time the girl was scolded...
"The acting skills are not enough to make up the makeup. Go to the dressing room and get the eyebrow pencil. Isn't it just a glamorous one? Brother Ye can help you change the eyebrow peaks and the corners of the eyes. By the way, get some silver powder by the way!"
Xia Cheng: "..."
The third time the girl was scolded...
"That's the problem of clothes, when you stand for a while..."
the fourth time…
"The eyes are not sharp enough? Hehe, besides refracting light, what kind of emotion can the lens have? Don't listen to those idealistic superstitions, but believe in scientific data... Sausage! Just don't change the standing posture and jaw angle before, and when you shoot again later Look for my brother's fingers with your eyes. Don't move your eyes and head... "
…
In this way, Rong Su, who opened the golden finger cheat named Ye Shuang, was in l. p. a The studio is like a fish in water, maybe her acting skills are still a little jerky, maybe her aura is not strong enough, maybe she's not proficient in finding a camera position... But! With Brother Shuang, everything is fine!
Science changes the world!
After a whole day of makeup and auditions, not only was Xia Cheng heartbroken, he never found a chance to compete for performance in front of the girls. Even Vincent, who thought there would be constant ups and downs, was surprised.
Most people think that this girl is simply too savvy. Although there are constant NGs, often the failed shots will not repeat the same mistake... It has nothing to do with acting skills, and now even international actresses are often not sure about the ideal picture in the director's mind. The little baby Rong Su, who knows everything, couldn't be more caring!
Because of the language barrier, few people noticed Ye Shuang's role in this. Only a few people... For example, Director James thoughtfully discovered the mystery after a few shots.
"Ye." After the filming was over. Vincent came to look for Ye Shuang in amazement, seeing that "his" expression was obviously full of disbelief: "Director James said he wanted to invite you to dinner. That's right. It's you, Miss Rong Su, Miss Qiu Yu and Cathy... It's amazing, this is the first time I've seen James take the initiative to invite the spokesperson for the first cooperation."
"..." Xia Cheng silently passed by with a dark face.
"..." Vincent was silent for three seconds, and quickly changed his coughing tone: "Of course, Mr. Xia Cheng is also one of the invited guests hahaha..." After speaking, he turned his head and pretended to be indifferent. He secretly planned to say hello to James for a while.
…Even if he has a low sense of presence, he is still a member of the team of visitors from the East. We can't invite everyone, just leave one Xia Chenggu alone to go home and eat bread.
James has no problem with a temporary addition to the guest list. Anyway, it's just a companion, as long as everyone he wants to invite comes.
It was Su Zheng who had an opinion. After knowing that he was deprived of the right to visit the studio, and further missed the opportunity to be invited to dinner, Su Zheng, who was left in the villa, was very dissatisfied with this, and bitterly accused Ye Shuang of being ruthless, shameless and unreasonable. Behavior without grace.
After Ye Shuang listened calmly, she hung up the phone very naturally and gracefully, and apologized to the other people on the table who were waiting for her to answer the phone with a smile: "I'm very sorry, it's my friend calling... um, I just said to the issue of filming reform?"
James, whose facial lines are very strict, is not as serious as the shooting scene during non-working hours. He stroked his beard, and the famous tyrant director was rarely patient at this time: "Actually, I have I've always felt so unsatisfied that, given the choice, I'd like to do some real blockbusters instead of these hapless commercials…”
"Cough!" Vincent pinched the napkin to his lips in embarrassment, and nodded apologetically to everyone: "I choked a little, you go on."
James didn't have the consciousness to hold back in front of his parents, and he turned back and continued confidently: "But do you know how difficult it is to make a satisfactory film? Those idiots who don't understand anything only know how to follow my instructions. , whether it’s lighting or camera tracks or whatever… If they make up their own minds, it’s going to be unsightly garbage.”
Vincent opened his mouth with difficulty as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he closed it angrily—in fact, he really felt that other people's works were not as bad as that, and it was all because James' requirements were too high and harsh. .
Ye Shuang raised a glass of white wine with standard etiquette, took a sip, put down the glass and thought for a moment before speaking: "I probably understand what Mr. James means. You want to make a film again, but when you cooperate with others, they often can't reach you." If you don’t cooperate with others, your energy will not be able to take care of so many aspects... The previous works could satisfy you at that time, but from your current perspective, you can’t continue to be satisfied with that So much, so you want to ask me to guide you?"
James nodded decisively: "That's it."
That's it? hehe…
Ye Shuang smiled gently: "I refuse."
Oh, you refuse... Wait you say it again? !
Not only Vincent, but even James felt that there might be something wrong with his ears.
"Guiding" is a nice word, but to put it bluntly, what James wants Ye Shuang to do is nothing more than a senior assistant. The Celestial Dynasty is commonly known as Field Records.
After all, Ye Shuang's value is limited to this. She can achieve the picture effect that James wants to the maximum and the fastest, but it does not mean that she has enough ability to control the camera - even if she also shows Talent in the latter, but don't forget that Ye Shuang is a complete novice in the director world.
Now that everything needs qualifications and experience as a passport, no matter how amazing a genius is, it is impossible to reach the sky in one step.
James felt that his invitation was already very sincere. In terms of his current style, a person from the working group was casually released to other filming groups to apply for a job. As long as you come up with the experience of "Oh. I have worked in the team of director James for x years", even if that person is actually just an ordinary small handyman, he can be quickly recruited and put on the key training list.
Like Ye Shuang, James can remember his name. And the talents who actually endow certain decision-making powers are even better. It can be said that if she really accepted James' invitation, even if it was just a "guidance", she would definitely become a hot new star on the welcome list of most directors in half a year...
"...Why did you refuse?" James quickly calmed down after being shocked for a few seconds. He felt that Ye Shuang might have some considerations and requirements of his own.
And these demands, if not excessive. James thinks it is not undisputable. For example, you want to introduce some contacts and opportunities to the other party. Some…
"It's nothing, it's just that I have a job." Ye Shuang drank another sip of wine in a heartbroken heart, sighing as she thought about the fucking reality that she hadn't settled yet. After putting down the wine glass, he looked up firmly at James. There is no sign of playing hard to get or saying irony: "I work well with my current boss and I am very satisfied with the current lifestyle, so I don't want to change this... uh. When did you come here?"
Su Zheng's eyes sparkled as if he could see the materialized tail behind him: "Come here to ask for an autograph, autograph! I was shopping nearby, and when I hung up the phone, I looked up and saw this restaurant. Is this a legend? fate?"
Ye Shuang: "..."
Director James was also baffled by Ye Shuang's sudden change of painting style... No, the sudden change of language made him inexplicable. He looked suspiciously at the sudden arrival of Su Zheng and the suddenly speechless Ye Shuang, and frowned in confusion: "Do you know each other?"
Qiu Yu smiled softly, and finally played her role as an interpreter and said, "Director James, this is our companion, Su Zheng. He also came to France with us, but he didn't come to the shooting scene today due to personal reasons, so you haven't met her."
James nodded irresponsibly: "Is also Miss Rongsu's team member?"
"No." Qiu Yuwen shook her head and said, "To be precise, she is a member of Mr. Ye Shuang's team."
Su Zheng swiped the fourth-dimensional space bag again, and took out a signature board from somewhere and handed it to James: "Isn't James the director? I really like your filming of "Scared Villa", although I can't understand it at all!"
Qiu Yu translated it smoothly, and for some reason...probably because there were eyewitnesses at the scene...so she didn't omit the last sentence.
"..." James stared at Qiu Yu and Su Zheng with a complicated expression for a long time, not sure whose problem it was: ""Surprise Villa" is Bruce's work...Of course, I also find it difficult to understand." He said while bowing his head to take the signature board and signed his name smoothly.
Vincent and the others buried their heads and pretended not to hear, as if the delicious food on the table suddenly aroused their infinite interest.
Su Zheng naturally sat next to Ye Shuang, and by the way, pushed Xia Cheng away who had no sense of presence, happily took back the signature board and turned to ask Qiu Yu: "What did the bearded uncle say?"
Qiu Yu smiled: "He said thank you very much for your liking."
"...Although I don't understand French, I can count. Don't bully me for being uneducated." The length of this sentence is obviously asymmetrical!
Su Zheng expressed dissatisfaction with Qiu Yu's dishonesty, Qiu Yu smiled helplessly, lowered her head and continued to cut the foie gras as if nothing had happened.
Su Zheng puffed her cheeks, and then poked Ye Shuang: "Brother Shuang, can I order food?"
"Don't make trouble, people will pay for it." No matter how arrogant Ye Shuang is, it is impossible for the host to decide whether to add an unexpected guest.
Fortunately, James is more knowledgeable and interesting than expected. After Su Zheng sat down, he had already beckoned to the waiter, asked for the menu list, and showed with practical actions that he didn't mind paying out of pocket again.
Su Zheng was sensible, took the menu and pointed out a few color pictures that looked pleasing to the eye, poured himself a glass of wine obediently, and sat aside without saying a word.
Xia Cheng held his breath and pulled his plate back from in front of Su Zheng. The interruption that he wanted to show when Ye Shuang didn't know each other was interrupted by Su Zheng's accident. So at this time he could only be depressed and listened to James continue to lobby: "What is your current job? To be honest. I think the same job can only kill your talent. Although I don't know what level you can reach, but just At present, I am still very interested in you. Or you can try to assist me with a film first? After all, you are still very young. No matter what you try, it is meaningful."
Su Zheng hugged the freshly served seafood dish and asked for an interpreter. Since Catherine didn't understand Chinese and Rong Su didn't understand French... Xia Cheng ignored him... Qiu Yu's translation was reluctantly accepted by Su Zheng.
Nibbling on an oyster, Su Zheng vomited before Ye Shuang could speak: "Brother Shuang is a high-level hr. The rhythm is millions of minutes, and the work is also very challenging and colorful. It is very useful." Going to bind someone to be a deputy. Xiaoyu, read it to him... Wait, forget it, you are too dishonest."
Qiu Yu blinked innocently: "You have to trust my professional ethics."
"You... uh! Who stepped on me?" Su Zheng was angry.
Brother Shuang turned his head and smiled gently: "Hehe. Did you accidentally kick yourself on the table?"
How can I! ! Su Zheng was about to be furious, when she saw Ye Shuang glance at Xia Cheng and then naturally move back... Su Zheng silently sat back in the original place: "...Well, think about it this way. I probably did kick it."
He forgot that there was another villain by his side, and revealed Ye Shuang's work situation, although not necessarily exposed. But it's not good to be suspicious.
After Su Zheng was settled, Ye Shuang thought about it and turned back to James' question: "Mr. James, although it is difficult for everyone's ideas to perfectly integrate with each other, I think it is not impossible to find a partner who is in harmony with you." Things. Haven't you ever met other satisfactory candidates?"
Looking back at James' information... Well, Ye Shuang has never paid attention to James' information. The other party's circle is too unpopular, and there is nothing worth paying attention to in the scope of Ye Shuang's previous life trajectory that needs to be sorted out and studied, so even if Ye Shuang Shuang has a photographic memory, but what impression can she have of something she has never seen
Just from a purely logical point of view, no matter what kind of fame track a well-known director has, in short, this process cannot be accomplished overnight.
Wasn't there a partner, mentor, friend, or whatever circle of people he knew before he grew up to be James
No matter how tall and widowed you are, it is conceivable that this is impossible... No matter how few, there will always be.
Sure enough, James showed a look of nostalgia: "Of course, I have seen another person who is as talented as you... You are good at observing and adjusting details, and that person is good at arranging the overall situation."
"Howard is a genius screenwriter, not only does he tell stories well, more importantly, he can design many plot lines in an instant, and he can also perfectly integrate them in the end. Together, even if you think these things are irrelevant in advance..." James said with emotion: "I always think Howard will become a milestone in the history of screenwriting. There wasn't much interest in the film business, we only did two films together, and then Howard disappeared from the film industry completely, and even I had a hard time finding him again."
Ye Shuang did not agree with James' emotion, because she found that when the other party mentioned Howard, there was a slight fluctuation in Xia Cheng's expression for a moment.
Although the other party concealed it very quickly, as long as there is a slight fluctuation, it is enough.
Obviously Xia Cheng's gaffe was because of the name Howard, but what relationship can a screenwriter have with the other party
"May I ask, Howard is French?" Ye Shuang continued to pay attention to Xia Cheng, and asked casually at the same time.
"Of course not, he's an American." James frowned quickly, as if a little dissatisfied: "Haven't you seen my masterpiece?"
Ye Shuang nodded honestly: "I'm sorry. I really haven't read it."
James: "..."
Vincent kept silent all the time, but at this time he finally couldn't keep silent, he cleared his throat and hurriedly changed the subject: "I think we should talk about Ye slowly later, maybe he will change his mind? But always Give him time to think."
After the bearded James was not happy to go to the bathroom, Vincent also deliberately lowered his voice to explain to Ye Shuang: "Howard and James are both geniuses who became famous together after that masterpiece. Later, James became more and more famous. status. And Howard disappeared... uh. You can refuse James' invitation, but don't speak ill of Howard in front of him, let alone insult James' work."
"I didn't insult his works. But I really haven't seen that movie." Ye Shuang sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll go back tonight and I'll have a tutoring session, and try not to step on his thunder next time."
... After the dinner, because James had no interest in continuing to solicit, everyone finished the meal in a harmonious atmosphere.
What's rare is that Xia Cheng didn't continue to fight for attention afterwards. It's like being suddenly attracted by some unexpected news, so I don't have the energy to pay attention to other people for the time being.
Vincent didn't have to come back with everyone this time. But because Ye Shuang said that he wanted to watch James' previous works, after checking his schedule and finding that he was not too busy the next day, Vincent happily returned to the latter's villa with Catherine... I don't know how much of it is because of James' face. Anyway, Vincent thinks that Ye Shuang and others deserve more attention from him.
"Stealing my wine again?"
After Catherine brought small desserts for everyone. While putting down the plate and sitting on the empty seat of the sofa, he looked helplessly at Vincent who had picked up the wine glass at some point and shook his head.
Vincent smiled unceremoniously: "Don't be so stingy, Cathy, good wine should be shared with guests who know how to appreciate it. This is the real value of its existence."
"A guest who knows how to appreciate?" Catherine teased: "You? But all I saw was a thief, don't forget. You can't even taste their ingredients."
"Of course it's not me, haven't you noticed Ye?" Vincent raised his index finger pinching the stem of the glass and pointed at Ye Shuang: "This is a real wine taster... Ye, tell her what year your wine is or something raw material?"
"Stop making trouble." Although Ye Shuang smiled helplessly, she still reported a series of data in a smooth manner, not even missing the ratio of raw materials.
The opportunity to build goodwill must be firmly grasped. Even if you cannot win an alliance, at least you must strive for a friendly position.
Catherine was surprised, she turned her head and sniffed the cup in Ye Shuang's hand, and when she raised her head, her surprised expression became more intense: "It's actually true?"
"Of course it's true!" Vincent was triumphant, as if the senior wine taster was himself: "I said it earlier, Ye has many talents that you don't know about yourself."
"..." When did you ever say this
Ye Shuang pretended not to hear Vincent's bragging, and was already paying attention to the opening title reflected on the screen.
At this time, Xia Cheng also came down from upstairs to greet her: "Catherine, I need your help with something, can you come up?"
It's still a language problem. There are not many people watching TV in the living room, so Rong Su and Su Zheng, who are not proficient in foreign languages, are members who have applied for a walk. Of course, Qiu Yu, as an accompanying interpreter, cannot be present.
Catherine's husband and son were out playing tennis.
Xia Cheng called Catherine upstairs, and Vincent in the living room accompanied Ye Shuang again. It can be said that it is impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on Xia Cheng's conversation.
But there are exceptions to everything.
For example, suppose there is an alien with super abnormal hearing downstairs, and the eavesdropped person's room on the second floor has no soundproof door...
