I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 96 094. Time and space magical love campus story

Xu Xin was indeed very tired.

Because Zhang Yimou got an inspiration from nowhere yesterday and wanted to create a link about "water from the Yellow River coming up from the sky".

But it does not mean to actually draw out the Yellow River water, but to use some form of expression to express the concept that the mother river of the Yellow River gave birth to Chinese civilization.

Then I chatted with Xu Xin until about 1 o'clock in the morning.

It was already 2 o'clock when Xu Xin finished his work and lay down on the bed.

But when he woke up in the morning, Zhang Yimou looked energetic...

Xu Xin was quite speechless.

Although it is said that people feel young as they get older, it is not such an exaggeration, right?

During today's journey, he could see that Zhang Yimou was in a particularly good mood.

It's quite a bit like traveling light.

Gong Li seemed to be the same way. When the two of them came to the palace and saw the queen being put on makeup by Wen Runling, whom Yang Mi called "Aunt Wen", although the makeup looked luxurious and serious, she looked at Zhang Yi When Mou met Xu Xin, his face was full of smiles.

He looked equally happy.

"Xiao Xu, where is your little girlfriend? Bring her here first so we can have a look."

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless, while Zhang Yimou said angrily:

"After all, you are also an elder, how can you say that to a child?"

"Yo yo yo, am I an adult now? I quite hope Xiao Xu calls me sister."

"..."

Zhang Yimou simply rolled his eyes.

Xu Xin also smiled awkwardly and said:

"Teacher Gong, we are really not boyfriend and girlfriend... You are saying that the person was selected by Director Zhang. When you say this, people who don't know think that my classmate was brought in by me."

He gave Gong Li a vague hint.

I don’t believe Gong Li can’t hear it.

After Gong Li heard this, she did not continue the conversation and just said:

"Yimou, when will the group scene be filmed?"

"I asked them to make arrangements last night, the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"OK."

Gong Li glanced at Xu Xin again and nodded in agreement.

Then, Zhou Renfa, Chen Jin, Ni Dahong and others came, but only Jay Chou and Yang Mi were not seen.

Xu Xin thought for a while, got up and walked out.

At a glance, I saw that Jay Chou's car had arrived, but he was nowhere to be seen.

He was looking around, looking for someone.

Because of "Jiang Chan", everyone in the crew has a role today. Everyone is here now. If he is late...this is not good.

As a result, Dani was seen walking out of the carriage.

She and Jay Chou have always been inseparable. Seeing her there, Jay Chou should be in the car.

He went directly to the bottom of the steps.

"Dani."

From a distance, he shouted.

Dani turned her head and saw Xu Xin, nodded and ran over quickly:

"Teacher Xu!"

"Well, where's Jielun?"

"Well……"

Dani pointed to the car:

"Brother JAY is on the phone with the company, and the company... is still talking about contract renewal."

Jay Chou told Xu Xin about the contract, so she didn't hide it.

Seeing this, Xu Xin looked at her embarrassed face again, and suddenly said:

"What about you? Do you want him to renew his contract?"

In fact, his question was quite abrupt.

Dani was stunned at first, her lips moved, and she smiled a little insincerely:

"Brother JAY just makes the decision, I will follow him."

"That's it..."

Xu Xin nodded and pointed to the car:

"Then go up and tell him that someone from the director's team is looking for him."

"……ah?"

"Go quickly. Director Zhang is looking for him."

"Oh, okay, okay."

Thinking what Xu Xin said was true, Dani quickly got into the car and closed the door.

The vigilance is quite high.

Not long after, Jay Chou and the four King Kongs walked down together.

There was still a hint of unhappiness on his face.

But after seeing Xu Xin, he forced a smile:

"Hey, morning."

"Well, the other actors are here, and Jiang Chan's character is also here. It's just you. Let's go."

When Xu Xin turned around, she pouted, signaling for him to follow her.

Jay Chou nodded:

"Um."

The two of them were side by side, with Dani three or four steps away, firmly holding the four Vajras behind her.

As Xu Xin walked that way, he said unhurriedly:

"in argument?"

"..."

Jay Chou was silent for a moment and responded:

"Um."

After walking a few more steps, he suddenly said:

"I'm going to release a new album in September."

"Oh~~"

Xu Xin showed a look of sudden realization and said:

"The company gave it to you?"

"...No, I sent it myself."

"..."

Xu Xin glanced at him in surprise and said:

"That's considered the most benevolent and righteous thing to do."

"..."

This time, Jay Chou was really surprised.

After looking at Xu Xin several times, he laughed:

"Hey, let me ask you something."

"What?"

"Director Zhang came to me yesterday and told me that it was the bad news you said that day about reshooting. In fact, he felt that there was something wrong with the scene where Prince Jie and his mother reunited in the palace. The scene was changed and it was necessary to reshoot it?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I... have a script. I wrote it myself. Do you want to read it for me?"

When Xu Xin heard this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"Did you write it yourself?"

"right."

Jay Chou nodded.

"what type?"

"Well……"

Hearing this question, Jay Chou thought for a while...seemingly looking for vocabulary to summarize.

After walking seven or eight steps, he said:

"A magical love campus story across time and space."

"...????"

Xu Xin was stunned.

"What the hell?...Are you talking about this once?"

"Uh...magic...time and space campus love story..."

Jay Chou obviously didn't expect that the other party would ask him to speak again, and he stuttered a little.

"Isn't it a time-travel magical love campus story?"

"...Huh? Right, right...huh?"

He nodded at first, but immediately felt something was wrong and showed a speechless expression:

"Is there any difference between the two?"

"It's not bad, it's just... the same rush~"

Listening to Xu Xin's awkward and crooked accent, Jay Chou rolled his eyes:

"Come on, you're really terrible at trying to imitate my accent."

"I know my accent sucks, but why do I think your or something... campus magic time-space love story is even worse?"

"It's a magical love campus story across time and space..."

"There's no difference between the two."

"..."

This time, Jay Chou was even more speechless, and...for some reason, his face was still a little red:

"Can you help me?"

"...Where is the script?"

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Jay Chou showed a smile on his face:

"I'll send you an email later? Text me your email."

"……Fine."

Although he didn't know what kind of campus love magical time-space story this was, Xu Xin still agreed.

Even this theme...at first glance, it gives off a bit of a street flair.

At this moment, the two of them also walked up the steps.

"You don't wear makeup?"

"There is no drama for me this morning. In the afternoon..."

"Oh yes, you have to ask the palace maid to take a bath for you at night."

"..."

Jay Chou's eyes became a little strange.

Xu Xinze laughed:

"Haha, do you want me to help you pick out some good-looking ones?"

"You are outrageous. It's outrageous!"

"Hahaha~"

Chatting and laughing, the two of them went up the steps, but Xu Xin stopped in his tracks...

Looking at Yang Mi wandering at the entrance of the hall, she asked in confusion:

"What are you doing?"

"!"

Yang Mi turned her head instinctively, and when she saw Xu Xin, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she saw Jay Chou next to Xu Xin, the expression on her face suddenly became wonderful again:

"You... Zhou... you... ah..."

"...?"

Looking at the beautiful but unfamiliar girl in front of him, Jay Chou looked at Xu Xin in confusion:

"Friend?"

"..."

Xu Xin was silent, speechless, and rolled his eyes:

"Look at your worthless look."

This was said to Yang Mi, followed by Jay Chou:

"My classmate, the new actor of the role of Jiang Chan - Yang Mi. Nicknamed Second Idiot... Why are you wrapped up so tightly?"

Looking at the girl who was wearing a long-sleeved jacket outside the palace attire, Xu Xin tilted his head in confusion.

"...sun protection."

Yang Mi first explained, and then started to pass things to him with her eyes crazily.

I didn't care at all...or didn't even hear the nickname "Second Idiot" from Xu Xin's mouth.

It's like saying:

"Jay Chou is right next to you!"

“Get me an autograph quickly!!”

"ah!!!"

"I like him so much!!"

Xu Xin pretended not to see it, but Jay Chou smiled and stretched out his hand:

"Hello, classmate."

"..."

Yang Mi's face immediately turned red.

Pure excitement.

I'm so excited that I want to jump...

He quickly reached out and grabbed Jay Chou and wouldn't let go.

"I...I really like you! Really! Can you sign your name for me!...Just sign it on the clothes, okay? I don't want these clothes!"

"..."

"..."

The corners of their mouths twitched at the same time.

Yang Mi also realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly shook her head:

"No, no, I won't wash the clothes!"

"Well……"

"Don't talk to her... Okay, I'll take you in first. After the filming is over, you can write his signature on your face if you want. Okay? Hurry up, the actors are all here, don't delay. And , I took off my clothes when I got inside, so generously."

After forcibly interrupting the girl's star-chasing scene, Xu Xin shook his head helplessly and took the lead in stepping into the hall.

He walked in front, Jay Chou was behind, and Yang Mi was at the end.

Jay Chou, who was walking in the middle, took two steps after entering the door and felt a gust of wind coming from the back of his head.

Turning around subconsciously, he saw that the girl had taken off her sun protection coat.

Men...

He glanced down unconsciously...

His face immediately stiffened and he turned his head away from squinting.

He even coughed slightly awkwardly:

"cough."

"...?"

The sound made Xu Xin turn his head.

Pure instinctive reaction.

But just like that...

"!"

There was a look on his face that was like a bolt from the blue.

I……

My mother-in-law!

What a shame...

"???????"

After realizing that the picture I saw seemed to be real...

Although he fell into a sluggish state.

But it didn't last long...

Jay Chou understands it so well.

No matter what, it's not good for you to look at others like this.

So he directly stopped Xu Xin who stopped and said:

"gone."

Xu Xin was forcibly pulled forward, but the two of them did not notice the hint of smugness in Yang Mi's eyes behind them.

Hum.

I still have the text message from you saying that my body proportions are not advantageous.

Did you see that?

Come, answer me loudly now:

"Do I have an advantage?"

"What a big advantage!"

Hum ~

…

"Hello, Brother Fa. I am Yang Mi, playing the role of Jiang Chan. Please take care of me."

"Well, hello, work hard."

"Thank you. Please give me your advice~"

…

"Hello, senior brother Liu Ye, I am Yang Mi, I play the role of Jiang Chan. Please give me your advice."

"Oh... hello... I'll read the script first."

"Uh...Okay, you're busy then."

…

"Hello, Teacher Ni..."

…

"Hello, Teacher Chen..."

…

As a new actor, Yang Mi respectfully walked up to the leading actors and politely introduced herself and said hello.

Decent behavior is a mess.

And finally, she came to Gong Li:

"Teacher Gong Li, hello..."

"Mimi, right?"

Before she could introduce herself, Gong Li put down the script and looked at the girl in front of her with a smile.

Nodding while looking:

"Well, not bad, I'm very energetic. Don't be nervous for a while, and your hands must be steady. If you hold the tray steady, I will push the cup. Once it's steady, you'll be fine. You know?"

"..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Mi's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a kind look:

"Thank you Teacher Gong for your advice, I will remember it!"

"Um."

Gong Li smiled and nodded, then glanced at Xu Xin who was holding a script in his hand and talking to Jay Chou, and said:

"If you encounter something you don't understand, just ask Xiao Xu."

"Hmm~"

Yang Mi's eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

In Jay Chou’s words:

"Hey, look at her, she's so happy~"

…

The first scene between the Queen and Jiang Chan.

It is in the corridor of the palace.

The queen came out of the prince's palace, it happened to be "Yin Shi", and met Jiang Chan in the corridor carrying medicine.

Then there is the plot of the queen taking medicine.

Xu Xin is sitting behind Zhang Yimou, and the camera is at one end of the corridor.

Yang Mi is already in place.

The row of maids behind him also held their own trays.

Li Cai was still telling the people behind him:

"In a moment, Jiang Chan will serve the medicine first. Mimi, you say the words first. Zhang Jiao, you kneel down and hold up the tray. Mimi, you first put the strainer on the cup, and then pour the medicinal soup into the bowl. Then you kneel down. Bring it to the queen first, then wait for the queen to put the bowl on your tray, then stand up, take a small step to the right, slowly back away, be sure to walk steadily and don't fall..."

He also paid special attention to it.

Yang Mi quickly nodded:

"Hey, I got it."

"Well, then Zhang Jiao, you too. You are carrying the tea bowl to the queen. You are also taking a small step to the right and walking back. Then there is you, Zhao Liying, holding the gold basin. You have to lift it higher and wait for the queen to finish vomiting. Slobber, step back to the right... Then you, come forward with a handkerchief and also step back to the right... Do you remember this?"

Li Cai personally covered it up, and several palace maids quickly nodded to show that they remembered.

Li Cai pointed to the cross tape on the carpet, and after confirming the position, the scene was almost ready to begin.

Yang Mi stood there and took a deep breath.

"call……"

She didn't talk to the actors behind her. She was completely in Jiang Chan's state at this moment.

Looks calm.

The hand holding the tray didn't even waver.

And just behind her, Zhang Jiao's eyes fell on the back of the neck of the girl in front named "Mimi".

There was also a bit of nervousness in his eyes.

After thinking for a while, she turned her head and glanced behind her.

as expected……

Baozi's face turned a little pale.

"..."

After thinking for a while, she whispered:

"Come on, don't be nervous! We can do this!"

"..."

Zhao Liying didn't know whether she heard it or not. On the contrary, after Yang Mi heard this, she turned to look at Zhang Jiao and nodded:

"Um."

Zhang Jiao was stunned...

But it was too late to think about it.

"All departments are preparing..."

…

"When~~"

"The wind and rain are like darkness, and the government and the public are full. Pingdan, Yinshi~"

The moment the sound sounded, Yang Mi's eyebrows lowered, and she walked in the spacious corridor, leading the maids behind her, and passed by the eunuchs who were telling the time.

The man is on the left and the woman is on the right.

within the lens.

The entire splendid palace corridor is as beautiful as a picture scroll.

And in the scroll, everything is milky white...

Xu Xin shook his head instinctively and looked away from the girl on the monitor.

Take a deep breath.

"OK, pass."

Liu Guonan's voice sounded.

As the director's photography assistant, he has been responsible for the scheduling of the set under Zhang Yimou in recent years. As for cutscenes like this, Zhang Yimou no longer needs to stare at them.

He is not a particularly authoritarian person.

Not to mention Liu Guonan, Xu Xin can also shoot such cutscenes.

Because it does not have any technical content, it only requires a fixed camera position to capture the moving actors.

Therefore, after the effect was achieved, Liu Guonan directly shouted stop, which meant that this point had been passed.

Surprisingly smooth.

Zhang Yimou did not raise any different opinions, but turned to Xu Xin and said:

"Xiao Yang's camera sense is very good."

"……Um."

Xu Xin also nodded in agreement.

After all, I have been acting since I was a child, so it is normal to have this sense of camera and rhythm.

He knew what Director Zhang was talking about.

I'm talking about Yang Mi's pace.

No one told her how to walk, but Jiang Chan, who was holding the medicine, had to be "on time", so she walked very fast.

It formed a sharp contrast with the eunuchs walking slowly next to them.

Although it's impossible to say that an expert would know it right away, it's obvious that Yang Mi has grasped such small details.

"Change of actors."

Liu Guonan took the walkie-talkie and said:

"Everyone else is in position."

Following his words, Yang Mi, who was still holding a pot of sour plum soup in her hand, glanced at Xu Xin subconsciously.

as expected.

Xu Xin had already given two cryptic thumbs up.

She smiled slightly, full of charm.

…

Hallway corner.

The girl who was standing in front of her head waiting for the camera to start shooting suddenly heard someone behind her whisper:

"It's so simple."

She glanced over her shoulder again.

It was the girl with the big eyes who said it.

When the other party saw her turning around, she quickly shut up.

Yang Mi didn't say a word, just continued to be silent, waiting for Gong Li and the others on the other side of the corridor to get ready.

soon.

everything's ready.

As the scene notes were recorded, filming began.

This time she took a more hurried pace than before, walking forward step by step.

Zhang Jiao quickly followed.

But Zhao Liying obviously paused.

And when she paused, the few people behind her couldn't leave even if they wanted to, and the team suddenly got wider.

"Click!"

Liu Guonan directly shouted stop.

She frowned and glanced at Yang Mi in displeasure, then said:

"Third, focus."

Zhao Liying turned pale and nodded quickly.

Yang Mi looked back this time, saw the nervous look of the girl who looked a little uneasy, and thought for a moment...

Silent.

"Do it again, Mimi, get back to your original position."

"OK."

Yang Mi nodded.

"Well, let's hit the board... Come on, three, two, one..."

"Walk!"

The moment the board fell, Yang Mi let out a whisper.

Not big, not small.

It happened that all six people heard it.

After hearing this order, they walked forward in unison this time.

Even Zhao Liying, who was very nervous just now for fear that she was making a mistake, also followed this order and walked forward.

The picture immediately became harmonious.

Holding the medicine, Yang Mi quickly came to the corner of the corridor, turned, and passed by the camera that was filming her.

The camera has also rotated in advance and moved to Gong Li on the opposite side of the corridor.

The shooting ended after all six people's backs appeared in the camera.

"Okay, passed. The camera is in orbit."

Neither group of people moved, just waiting for the camera to be set up between the two groups of people.

Directly aimed at Yang Mi in the distance, and after finding the focus:

"Get ready, Mimi. Look clearly at your position on the carpet. Everyone else should also brace themselves. If Mimi stops, you guys will stop."

Liu Guonan shouted.

Yang Mi, who still looked calm, responded:

"I understand, Director Liu."

soon.

Shooting continues.

After the countdown, which was still 321, ended, Yang Mi’s voice sounded again:

"Walk."

The six people moved in unison.

Step by step, when Yang Mi was still one and a half steps away from the cross tape on the carpet, she spoke in advance:

"My servant pays homage to the queen."

The reason why she said one and a half steps before speaking was because her steps had already been raised.

And when he spoke, he happened to be stepping on that step.

Then in the line "The slave meets the queen", she completed the last step.

And because of her reminder, the few people behind used the half-step distance to react, took one step forward, and knelt down with Yang Mi.

When Yang Mi knelt down and finished the first half of her lines, she knelt down and held the medicine in her hands, and then said:

"Yinshi's medicine is ready."

Everyone's movements seemed extremely coordinated and unified because of her words.

Not to mention Liu Guonan, Zhang Yimou also nodded under Xu Xin's slightly surprised gaze:

"Um……"

Obviously, he was very satisfied with this neat shot.

Then, the camera changed direction and turned to the queen's side.

There is no need to mention Gong Li’s play.

Whether it was the secret anger with reddish eyes when facing the maids serving medicine, or the contemptuous smile at the corner of the mouth, everything was done just right.

Soon, the camera retreats.

Jiang Chan serves as medicine.

Pour the steaming pot of sour plum juice into the bowl.

After filming the scene of serving the medicine, the prop quickly took away the hot plum juice and replaced it with a bowl of cold one.

Keep shooting...

Gong Li still maintained the trace of contempt on her face. She stared at Jiang Chan who was kneeling with the medicine for a second, and then slowly picked up the cup.

But who would have thought that just after taking a sip...

Suddenly, there was an unnatural twitch in her expression.

Zhang Yimou frowned and was about to say stop, but Gong Li immediately returned to normal. She drank the bowl of sour plum soup with her head tilted up until the bottom of the bowl was left. She squeezed the cup and the twitch on her face turned into calmness.

Jing Jing shut up, made a swallowing gesture, and then smashed or patted the cup on the tray held by Yang Mi.

The girl took a step to the right, stepped back, and disappeared from the camera, followed by Zhang Jiao's mouthwash.

Back up as well.

Then there is the golden bowl held by Zhao Liying...

After completing a set of steps, Liu Guonan shouted:

"OK, get ready for close-up."

This is to show the Queen Jiang Chan and the close-up of Jiang Chan’s micro-expressions when serving medicine.

But after Gong Li heard this, she retched directly:

"vomit……"

While vomiting, she pointed at the soup bowl in Yang Mi's hand:

"It's bad, it's so painful... vomit~"

Everyone was stunned when they heard her words.

Liu Guonan reacted and his voice immediately sounded:

"Props! Props! Come here!!"

…

"Ugh~~~~"

Gong Li kept retching.

Zhang Yimou came over:

"Are you okay?"

Gong Li waved her hands silently, and after vomiting several times in a row, the makeup artist next to her took a sponge puff to wipe her sweat.

"Don't rub...it'll be natural."

Gong Li once again rejected the makeup artist.

And Zhang Yimou also saw the makeup near her temples that were stained by sweat.

It was originally a golden foundation, but at this moment, due to sweat, the makeup looked very messy.

"...Refill it, you vomit first. Take a rest~"

he said.

Gong Li also heard the concern in his words. She was obviously very uncomfortable, and her mouth was filled with the bitter taste of stinky sour plum soup mixed with stomach acid, but she still shook her head:

"This expression is more consistent with the appearance of being sick... vomiting..."

Xu Xin on the side remained silent.

I'm guessing...I don't know whether these older generation actors are so dedicated, or...

The other party seemed particularly serious because this was Director Zhang's play.

But no matter what, seeing her persistence, Zhang Yimou didn't say anything more. He said:

"Everyone else is ready."

"vomit……"

Finally, Gong Li vomited out the extremely bitter sour plum soup in her stomach.

The filth was spat into the trash can, and the sour smell filled the air.

But people feel comfortable.

His face was just a little pale.

But she didn't rest, stood up directly, looked shaky and said to the makeup artist:

"Tap up your lip gloss and let's get started."

The tone was firm.

To match that sickly face...

Xu Xin didn't know what others thought.

But at this moment, deep in his heart...

It's all admiration.
