"Hello, Director Shen"
"Director Shen, your eyes"
"Good morning, Director Shen, did you not sleep last night?"
When Shen Yuxiu walked into the set, everyone immediately put down their work and said hello to him. But when everyone's eyes fell on his eyes, they would all be taken aback by his red eyes.
Shen Yuxiu knows how bad his image is now - because he has been awakened by nightmares these past few nights, his sleep time is very short, and his eyes are full of bloodshot eyes. Such a situation is definitely not suitable for being on camera.
Fortunately, there is no play for him on the announcement list these days, so he can concentrate on sitting behind the monitor and controlling the overall situation, fulfilling the duties of a director well.
Not long after he sat down, there was an extra thermos by his hand.
Shen Yuxiu looked up the thermos, and saw a tall and strong figure standing beside him.
Zhuo Yi nodded at him, and said in a deep voice: "Director Shen, Mr. Cheng sees that you are not in good spirits, so let me bring you a cup."
Shen Yuxiu glanced at the thermos cup, and said curiously: "Now the coffee is all in a thermos cup."
Zhuo Yi: "This is wolfberry tea."
Shen Yuxiu: ""
Zhuo Yi didn't think it was enough, so he added: "Refreshing and keeping healthy."
Shen Yuxiu thought to himself that he was not yet thirty years old, so why would he soak goji berries in a thermos
But without hitting the smiling face, Shen Yuxiu finally took the cup of wolfberry health tea. He comforted himself: female stars in their twenties must fight against aging, sugar and early aging, so it’s no big deal for male stars in their twenties to take care of their health in advance.
Not to mention, a cup of wolfberry tea poured into the throat, and the stomach was warm, and the dry eyes didn't seem to hurt so much.
Shen Yuxiu cheered up, called the photography and lighting, and began to discuss the scenes to be filmed today.
What we are going to shoot today is the part of "a play within a play". The heroine of the movie Find You is an actress, and the male lead shuttles through the plays she has acted in, so the whole play has a lot of "play within a play".
Today's play within a play is a period drama, telling about the reform and opening up in the 1980s. In this play, the heroine is a strong woman who is at the forefront of the times. She was originally an ordinary textile factory worker. gold.
Cheng Xingfei is only twenty years old, his face is full of collagen, he looks too young for such a role. The makeup artist tried her best to make her look as old as possible, but she couldn't help her to be good-looking. Although she was 30 years old, she still looked like 25 or 20 after putting on makeup.
"Forget it, forget it," the makeup artist gave up, "Ms. Cheng is naturally beautiful, even in a beggar's outfit, she still looks haute couture."
Cheng Xingfei said that he was too exaggerated. In the mirror, she changed into the most common blue cloth work clothes of that era, with sleeves, and a pair of green safety shoes. A burst of vitality.
"I'm really not flattering you," the makeup artist said earnestly, "You're just here. Even if you deliberately pretend to be ugly and old, it's nothing more than turning a very beautiful into a seven-point."
It just so happened that Zhuo Yi came back at this time, the makeup artist pulled Zhuo Yi over and asked him: "Brother assistant, tell me, is Mr. Cheng very good-looking?"
Zhuo Yi really set his eyes on Cheng Xingfei, and carefully sized her up several times from head to toe. His eyes were so serious and careful, as if he was viewing a rare treasure that should be placed in a showcase.
He just looked at it for a while, nodded, and said, "Yeah."
The makeup artist made fun of him: "Damn, you've been watching for so long, you'll die if you say a few more words"
Cheng Xingfei said: "Don't tease him. I'm his boss, and his salary can be paid by me. Even if I look weird, for the sake of money, he will praise me for being beautiful."
Just at this time, another actor sent someone to catalyze the makeup artist to touch up the makeup, and the makeup artist hurried over with a small trolley full of makeup equipment.
Without a noisy makeup artist, the dressing room was suddenly quite empty. Cheng Xingfei sat on the sofa, took the script and silently recited the lines from the script. There were a lot of lines in the plot today. She recited it until 2:00 last night, and got up at 5:00 this morning to continue reciting, fearing that something might go wrong.
Suddenly, Zhuo Yi opened his mouth to break the silence in the room.
"Boss, you didn't pay me this month."
"" Cheng Xingfei was taken aback. She has a total of three assistants, two of which were hired by the company for her. Only Zhuo Yi was in a special situation, and she hired her out of pocket, so the salary was naturally paid by her. She brought Zhuo Yi into the group for more than a month, and she continued filming every day, completely forgetting about the salary.
It's really strange, with Zhuo Yi's money-loving character, he actually waited for a month before he came to collect the money.
Cheng Xingfei hurriedly took out his mobile phone: "I'm sorry, I've been too busy this month, so I forgot to pay you. I'll ask the accountant to send you the money tomorrow or if you need it urgently, I'll call you on WeChat directly."
"I'm not asking for wages." Zhuo Yi shook his head, with an indescribable seriousness in his eyes, "I just want to tell you——you have always been beautiful in my eyes, and it has nothing to do with money."
""
Cheng Xingfei looked away in a panic, since she was a child, she was tired of listening to compliments on her appearance, and she had read countless rainbow fart love letters written by fans.
But now, she would feel joy and joy because of a word "beauty" that couldn't be more vulgar.
She raised the script in her hand and quietly covered the corners of her raised mouth.
At work, Shen Yuxiu is a very strict director. Although he doesn't know how to swear, if he is dissatisfied with any clip, he will definitely keep grinding until it is perfect.
There was a small supporting actor who cried more than ten times in a row because of his lack of emotion. At that time, the set was terribly quiet, and everyone thought that Su Yu was about to lose his temper. Unexpectedly, there was no anger on Director Shen's face, and he just said quietly: "Come again."
"Again."
"continue."
"Do it again"
In the end, the actor had to shoot more than 20 times, crying until his tears dried up and his voice was hoarse, before finally completing that scene. From then on, Shen Yuxiu's reputation as the King of Hades spread on the set, and any actor was trembling when he played against him.
Cheng Xingfei has also been "tortured" by Shen Yuxiu before, but she is happy to be able to cooperate with such an excellent actor and director, so what if she suffers a bit
If she doesn't suffer now, she will suffer from her father's eyes in the future.
This day, Cheng Xingfei was in excellent condition. During the shooting, he almost passed one shot, and Shen Yuxiu saved two more. When it was over, it was still early in the daylight, so he simply announced that today’s work would end early. This good news made everyone excited.
"Thank you Director Shen for your kindness." I don't know who shouted.
Shen Yuxiu said: "Okay, don't thank me. If you want to thank me, thank Teacher Cheng. Teacher Cheng is in a good state today and didn't delay the show, so today can end so early."
So everyone quickly changed their words and thanked Cheng Xingfei for going.
Cheng Xingfei smiled shyly: "Everyone is too polite, the film was shot so fast, it's not due to me alone, I also want to thank everyone for your cooperation--now it's autumn, I saw a topic on the Internet recently called the first autumn A cup of milk tea, how about I be the host today, please drink the first cup of milk tea in autumn"
As soon as the words came out, there was another round of cheers on the set.
Everyone has enough money in their pockets to buy milk tea, but the artist offered to invite everyone to drink, which of course has a different meaning.
The whole crew was beaming from top to bottom. After a while, the milk tea was delivered, and everyone lined up to receive the milk tea. Taking a sip of hot drink really warmed our hearts.
It stands to reason that this day was perfect, but no one expected that there would be an unpleasant "episode" when receiving the lunch box, which ruined everyone's rare good mood.
——This matter starts with the food delivery truck of the crew.
The crew had nearly a hundred mouths up and down, and the logistics staff ordered boxed meals from a certain restaurant. The delivery truck of that restaurant was a Wuling Hongguang, and the delivery man was a relative of the restaurant owner, who had to check his pass every day when entering and leaving the film crew.
The food delivery truck came three times a day, and they were familiar with going in and out. Later, as long as the security guard saw Wuling Hongguang coming from a distance, the security guard opened the door directly, and didn't even bother to check.
It happened on this Wuling Hongguang.
Dinner starts at 7:00, and the van arrives at 6:30. The logistics staff went to check the quantity of the boxed lunches and sign the receipt.
At this moment, a young man in his twenties stepped down from the passenger seat of the van, with a small crew cut, carrying a backpack, and wearing a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses.
The driver said he was his little nephew, he was very curious about filming, and wanted to come over to meet the stars.
Of course, the logistics staff disagreed: "This is the crew, not the vegetable market. What do you think of this place, just go shopping if you want to."
The driver hurriedly handed over a cigarette: "Brother, it's convenient. He is not an outsider, he is my nephew, and he is still studying. Just out of curiosity, let him take a look here, and I promise not to cause trouble for you."
After all, he was an acquaintance who met three times a day, and the logistics staff couldn't save face, so they accepted the cigarette and reluctantly agreed. He told the young man: "Don't run around, our director Shen has a big temper, if he sees people who have nothing to do with filming wandering around in the venue, he will definitely lose his temper."
The young man pushed his glasses and answered honestly.
The logistics staff were too busy counting lunch boxes to take care of the seemingly "honest" young man. It was just a flash of godly effort, and the young man didn't know where he slipped off.
"Teacher Cheng, wait a moment, there is a change in the script, let's discuss it together."
Cheng Xingfei was about to go back to the make-up artist to take off her makeup when screenwriter Xu Kaiwen stopped her.
Standing beside Xu Kaiwen was Shen Yuxiu. Director Shen was looking down at the script in his hand, and the pages were filled with dense footnotes.
Although the script was finalized before entering the group, there will always be various uncontrollable situations encountered during filming, and the script will be adjusted accordingly. In some crews, there are even male and female leading actors each with a screenwriter, and the script is changed on the spot, and the page is flying on the spot.
Shen Yuxiu respected the screenwriter very much, and it was Xu Kaiwen who offered to modify the script this time, so he called Cheng Xingfei over to discuss it together.
"Look here," Shen Yuxiu pointed to a description in the script, "Kevin wants to change this place, but for you, such a change will make it more difficult to control your emotions, and you will have to work harder. "
Cheng Xingfei looked in the direction of his finger, because she was looking down at the script, she was very close to him; but the two of them didn't notice this because they were obsessed with work.
Cheng Xingfei thought for a while, then nodded: "No problem, I think this change is very necessary. Since Director Shen and Editor Xu both support the change, I will definitely cooperate with all my strength."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard an angry shout from behind - "Hey, what are you filming?"
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of chaos. Accompanied by the sound of body collisions, begging for mercy, and screams, the originally quiet studio suddenly became chaotic.
All three of them were startled and looked back.
Behind the tent not far from them, a tall and strong figure twisted a thin young man to the ground. The young man scissored his hands behind his back, let out bursts of pain from his mouth, and his body was covered with dust.
A large camera was thrown on the ground, and the young man's backpack was torn open, which contained a valuable lens.
Needless to say, this is definitely a paparazzi who sneaked into the set and the person who stepped on the paparazzi's back was Zhuo Yi.
It was Zhuo Yi who found out that the other party was hiding behind the tent and secretly taking photos of Cheng Xingfei, so he jumped up and caught him.
The paparazzi has never seen such a reckless man, he suspects that his arms are about to be broken
"Auaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" He couldn't even utter a complete sentence, so he could only call it painful.
Zhuo Yi asked coldly, "How did you get in here?"
The paparazzi said in a panic: "I stuffed a thousand dollars into the driver who delivered the food."
"One thousand dollars is too expensive." Zhuo Yi leaned down and patted the paparazzi's face, "You should save this money for yourself to die."
The paparazzi cried out in fright.
Zhuo Yi confiscated the paparazzi's camera and skillfully opened the photo album. It seems that the other party has been secretly taking photos here for a long time. In the photos, there are both on-set photos and private photos after the scene. In the last few photos of the album, the paparazzi took advantage of misplaced shots and took many photos of Shen Yuxiu and Cheng Xingfei talking together. .
If such a photo is released, and a few specious titles are added, it will definitely make fans misunderstand
Both Cheng Xingfei and Shen Yuxiu saw these photos, and they looked at each other, seeing embarrassment in each other's eyes.
Only Xu Kaiwen was heartless, jumping his feet in anger: "Does this mean that you don't take me as a screenwriter seriously? It's obvious that the three of us are talking together, and me, me, why don't I even have a shadow?"
There was such a big commotion here that the security guard rushed over and took the paparazzi away. Zhuo Yi took out the memory card in the camera and broke it directly to ensure that no "pictures speak" photos would be leaked out.
As soon as the logistics staff saw the paparazzi's face, their brains exploded with a buzz—he was too careless, and let the paparazzi sneak in pretending to be a food delivery person. The consequences of putting something in the lunch box are unimaginable.
No need to be reminded, the logistics staff swear that they will never have any cooperation with this restaurant in the future
Because of this very bad candid incident, the atmosphere on the set became more tense. All personnel entering and exiting must be checked and signed in. The crew is full of grass and trees, and they have to go up and interrogate any unfamiliar faces.
After a few days, everyone's nerves were tense, and at first glance, it seemed to be the scene of a collective attack of anxiety attacks.
One night, the main cast and crew got together for a routine meeting.
The content of the meeting was the latest paparazzi incident.
"This won't work," Shi Ge persuaded, "Old Shen, it's better to be quiet than to be blocked. I know you attach great importance to this movie, but if you hide the news from outsiders, it will only make everyone more curious."
Xu Kaiwen also chimed in: "Yeah, yesterday out of the 20 ensemble performers, three fans were found out, one of your fan and two of Mr. Cheng's. You don't reveal any news now, the fans can only use this irrational way to see you”
Shen Yuxiu had a headache, he had been filming abroad before, so he had never seen such crazy fans and paparazzi: "Then what do you think?"
Shi Ge said: "It's not easy. Anyway, your movie is already halfway through, and it's time to start promoting it. After the official announcement, everyone's curiosity about this movie has reached the highest point. We can definitely invite some Friends from the media come over and do a regular visit to the class."
As soon as this proposal came out, it immediately aroused everyone's approval.
Shi Ge said again: "Just choose the few scenes where you and Mr. Cheng have the most rivalry, let the media shoot enough material, and help us blow the rainbow fart." He looked at Cheng Xingfei who was on the side, "Mr. Cheng, what do you think?"
Of course Cheng Xingfei has no objection: "I have no problem, I will fully cooperate with om to post as soon as possible."
So this hard-won media visit was finalized in this way.
Cheng Xingfei asked, "Which day and scene is that?"
"The time to visit the class will be next weekend. As for the play—" Xu Kaiwen pondered for a while, flipped through the script, and then stopped suddenly: "—Let's just say this scene, this scene has the most conflict, the media Definitely like it."
The scene that Xu Kaiwen was talking about happened to be a "play within a play". Cheng Xingfei played a female killer, beautiful and cold, with outstanding martial arts skills. After the character of Shen Yuxiu traveled to the past, he was mistaken for an enemy by the female killer, and the two had a very exciting fight scene.
Cheng Xingfei nodded: "No problem, let's shoot this scene."
Xu Kaiwen: "Okay, then I will ask the assistant director to find a female martial arts substitute as soon as possible."
"No need for military substitutes." Shen Yuxiu interrupted suddenly.
Xu Kaiwen: "Hey"
Shen Yuxiu glanced over flatly, and landed on Cheng Xingfei's eyes: "Kevin, you don't know, Mr. Cheng is very skilled in martial arts, and he is best at using swords. I have personally learned how to use it."
Cheng Xingfei: ""
Shen Yuxiu smiled lightly: "I believe that with Mr. Cheng's skill, he definitely doesn't need a martial substitute. When the media come to visit the class, they can use this as a selling point and promote Mr. Cheng. Mr. Cheng will definitely not refuse."
His smile was gentle and gentle, but Cheng Xingfei felt like he was being targeted by a wolf.
She had a vague premonition—Shen Yuxiu would not have discovered the secret between her and Hua Zhao, right
