I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 158: 156. Hit "No" and sing

  Chapter 158 156. Hit "No" and sing

  If Xu Xin was asked to summarize his impressions of the 2007 Spring Festival Gala, the one that impressed him the most might be the sketch by Mr. Benshan and Song Dandan.

  Especially the phrase "a rooster that lays eggs is a fighter among roosters~".

  I was particularly impressed.

  Spring Festival Gala... Not to mention, it is really Uncle Benshan.

   Others really can't.

  However, when watching this sketch, he deeply believed in what his father said:

   "Without Fan Wei, there will be less taste..."

   After 12 o'clock, Xu Xin was finally able to sleep after eating the dumplings.

  On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after the hustle and bustle of ancestor worship, Xu Xin and a group of Faxiao followed the rules and started to pay New Year's greetings from door to door, asking for lucky money.

  Everyone is carrying a schoolbag.

  After working hard all morning, I returned home with hundreds of thousands on my back...

   Their unmarried children can receive lucky money, and they don't have to give it out.

   Even if you meet some little nephews and nieces, you don’t have to give it.

   But when his girlfriend sent a ostentatious message of "I received more than 10,000 yuan in New Year's money this year", he didn't reply. He just took a photo of the "tower" stacked on the coffee table and sent it to his girlfriend.

   Got the reply of "..." from my girlfriend.

   In the next few days, Xu Xin basically lived drunkenly and dreamily.

  Fire cannons, play cards, and drive to the county town to play.

   In a blink of an eye, the sixth day arrived.

   Visible to the naked eye, some people have already started to go to work.

   And Xu Xin was no exception. At noon on the sixth day, Xu Daqiang made another meal of sour soup dumplings filled with mutton for his son. After eating, Xu Xin set off on his way home.

  Oh yes, I also brought two sheep that were slaughtered in the morning, quick-frozen, and sealed in vacuum bags.

  The two sheep were divided into small bags and stuffed into two suitcases.

   When Xu Xin went to check in his luggage, the ground staff who checked in looked at Xu Xin like some perverted murderer.

   It was finally confirmed that it was indeed mutton before it was given.

   Of these two sheep, one is for Yu Zhen and the other is for his girlfriend’s family.

Xu Daqiang originally said that he would give gifts to Director Zhang... but once he considered that it was a team... he had to send at least ten sheep to start, otherwise he would appear to favor one over the other, so he decided to come to Yanjing to give presents on his own in two days Time to do it.

  Xu Xin took the two sheep and left first.

  …

  No words all the way.

  After arriving in Yanjing, he found the A6 at the airport, and the girl wearing a mask who was standing next to the A6 and smiling at him.

   "Hee hee~ Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes!"

  Xu Xin was also happy.

  He didn't have a red envelope, but a big hug.

  Holding his girlfriend whom he hadn't seen for a long time in his arms, smelling the familiar fragrance, Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, his heart began to wander, biting her ear, and said amidst the goosebumps visible to the naked eye of his girlfriend:

   "More than half a month, it's going to explode..."

   "..."

  Yang Mi's heart started to tremble after hearing this.

Nod:

   "Well... let's go home first..."

   "No, I have to go to Teacher Yu's first. I'm bringing sheep for Teacher Yu and my uncles and aunts."

   "No matter! Go home first..."

"…Um!"

  Don't say that Xu Xin is uncomfortable, she also wants to.

   Then go home first.

  Mainly it will be daytime, so it’s not good to be in the car, right?

  So...

  Three boxes, one in the trunk and two in the back seat, Xu Xin muttered:

   "Let's take a look at the SUV these two days, how about it?"

  Looking at the crowded cars, after he finished speaking, Yang Mi urged:

   "Oh, where are you talking so much nonsense, hurry up!"

   Then, before he could touch the steering wheel in the car, he was hugged by his girlfriend around the neck.

   He gnawed so hard that he let him go.

   Then there was a slapping sound from the urgent co-pilot.

  The girl patted the center console of the co-pilot and urged:

   "Let's go, go home! I took a special shower before I came to pick you up..."

   "Hmm...I haven't washed it yet."

   "I'll wash with you, hurry up! Miss me~~~"

   "...hehehehe~"

  …

  Although it is very urgent, Yu Zhen's house is really the only way to go from the airport to Xu Xin's house.

  Xu Xin still decided to take a trip.

   Send the sheep over.

  At the same time, a suitcase can also be removed from the car.

  Yang Mi couldn't survive at first... she felt very shy.

   But in the end, she couldn't hold back her boyfriend's tugging. Yu Zhen, who was pushing the box with a blushing face, called out to Teacher Yu in the playful eyes.

  But this is a university, not a junior high school, and the teachers don't catch puppy love.

  Yu Zhen was just confused about what to do with this big box of dismembered mutton.

  I don’t have so much space at home…

  And since he came, Xu Xin definitely couldn't just leave after delivering something.

  Take the girl and sit on the sofa at Yu Zhen's house and chat there.

   "Teacher Yu, is there any news about the review?"

"without."

   Yu Zhen who poured tea for her two students shook her head:

   "But I guess there should be news before the 15th day. Let's watch after we go to work on the 10th day of the lunar new year, right? Director Zhang must be notified first if there is any news, and then Director Zhang will notify us."

"…There should be no problem?"

  Hearing Xu Xin's worried words, Yu Zhen was a little puzzled:

   "Why? Why do you suddenly lose confidence in yourself?"

   "No, I'm not worried..."

"There is no need to worry. Even if there is something that the leader is not satisfied with in a certain link, let's just change it. There are dozens of plans out there. The leader said no, not to deny it completely, but to provide you with a direction guide Opinion. Just go down this road."

  "...Will it all be denied...I'm worried about this."

   After finishing speaking, Xu Xin might feel a little ridiculous, so he quickly shook his head:

   "It's not that I said unlucky words, but... I'm afraid. These days, this idea is always circling in my mind..."

   "Of course not, how is it possible."

  Yu Zhen was a little speechless, and felt that this student was thinking too much, and felt that he was "nervous".

"Think about it, from the four major inventions of the big proposition to the interaction with the world in countless small links, we have everything we should have, how can we deny it all...Let me tell you what we listen to...Leadership...It's hard to compare We know art? Don't we?"

  She shook her head, looked at her student who hesitated to speak, and waved her hand:

   "Don't worry. Absolutely no problem!"

   Seeing that Teacher Yu said so, Xu Xin put his heart in his stomach.

  He may not believe what others say, but Teacher Yu said this... Teacher Yu will definitely not lie to himself.

   Having said that, the probability of this happening is too small.

   What Teacher Yu said made a lot of sense.

  Leaders still have Zhang Dao who understands art?

Right.

  …

   After sitting at the teacher's house for a while, the two got up and said goodbye.

   I don't know if it's hot or what, but my little girlfriend's face is flushed and looks like a peach blossom.

Then…

   There is no more.

   She said, wash with Xu Xin.

   Wash when you get home.

   It just takes a long time to wash.

  The cuckoo clock hanging on the wall keeps ringing.

  Same as singing.

  After taking a shower, Xu Xin specially opened the box of decomposed lamb chops and picked out half a lamb chop according to his girlfriend's taste.

   Throw it directly into the big stuffy jar, don't add any onion, **** cooking wine or the like.

   Fresh lamb doesn't need this.

   Throw it into the pot, unscrew the stove, and put it in the middle of the fire.

   Then he threw a randomly cut radish into the stuffy jar and left it alone. The main person was wearing pajamas, no pants, and his legs were a little cold.

  But just as he was about to walk out of the kitchen, he pondered for a while... He dug out a handful of goji berries from the cabinet and threw them into the pot.

   Well, perfect!

  After finishing his work in the kitchen, he smiled and pushed open the door of the bedroom, and saw the chopstick legs with two white knee socks at a glance.

  That white and rosy appearance, Xu Xin doesn't know what others are like.

   Anyway, he couldn't stand it for half a minute.

   "Hey hey hey, female benefactor..."

  Hearing this title, Yang Mi also said:

   "What are you doing, Elder Tang~"

  The sound is crispy and soft.

  Light shines through the gaps between the toes, which are more flexible than hands, appearing crystal clear.

   Or an actor.

   Act like what you want.

   Take a look, isn't this a vixen?

  …

   That night.

  It's ten o'clock.

   Ho!

  It's sunny and thin!

   A pot of stewed extremely soft lamb chops, a plate of dipping water with peppers, onions, garlic, coriander, and soy sauce and vinegar.

  One person, one bowl of radish clear noodle soup with a few goji berries floating on top.

  This is the couple's dinner at night...or supper.

  Yang Mi on TV...or Wang Zhaojun's innocence is completely different from the girl sitting in front of the TV holding a lamb chop and eating there.

   "Don't tell me...you look so young..."

   "...What is this called? It means I am not tender now?"

   "Of course not, but at this moment, she looks like a little girl."

   "... That's true. Look at my face, how tender~ I feel like I'll be full of water when I pinch it..."

   "There are quite a lot now."

"Well…"

  Hearing what her boyfriend said, the girl thought about it and nodded.

really.

  Today is particularly many.

   "Hey, how is my acting?"

   Changed a glove, and she asked while putting it on.

   "It's quite young... Who is the director of this film?"

   "Chen Jialin. Director Chen, "The Kangxi Dynasty."

   "No wonder..."

  Xu Xin nodded:

   "I can tell at a glance that I will use you. Whether it's the angle of capture or the switching of the camera, this kind of rigid feeling can highlight your innocence."

   "Really? Director Chen is also one of my benefactors."

   ""Tang Minghuang", right?"

   "Well. He didn't recognize me at the time... Hehe, I only told him about this after I joined the group. He was stunned at the time, and the first sentence was: I have grown up so much."

  While speaking, she picked up another lamb chop, dipped it in some water, and started to chew.

  The mutton from my boyfriend's house... I really didn't mention it.

   are really not the same thing.

  It tastes so good.

   "How's the ratings?"

"It's okay in the late-night file... Actually, let me tell you, I was quite excited when I was filming. This is the first time I played the leading role... I was still thinking about what would happen if this drama became a big hit. Yes. But now it seems..."

  Looking at herself in the TV series, she shook her head:

"But thinking about it now, there is a reason why the drama "Wang Zhaojun" can only be put on the late-night file. The emotional line is too messy and thin. And the version of the character I played in the script is not deep enough, and... I I vaguely remember the location scene I filmed for a long time. If you look at it this way, more of her content is not after the fortress...so the positioning feels a bit awkward."

   "Yo? Yes."

  Xu Xin was quite surprised:

   "You all know self-criticism?"

"Then you see... But the ratings of the first episode of this show are quite high, a little more... But I think it should be the effect of seeking girls. These few episodes have obviously dropped, hovering around 1... I don't even care gone."

   While speaking, she ate another lamb chop.

   Meat, I have had enough.

  The bones were thrown aside, and he shouted:

   "Brother, get me some minced meat, I'll eat noodles."

"Um."

  Xu Xin began to help her break up the meat on the lamb chops and put them in a bowl.

   "When is "Nie Xiaoqian" broadcast? Which channel?"

   "Guangdong TV, it will start broadcasting in April. Hmm... Speaking of which, when will Wulin Biography be broadcast?"

  Hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"According to this progress, I guess no matter what happens, it will be the end of the year. Think about it, the filming is not finished yet... Let's follow the most reasonable plan, such as finishing in April. With so many episodes, editing the soundtrack will also take time. I need to work hard. I still have to find a buyer and arrange the schedule... It will be the end of the year anyway.”

   "Then if it's available at the end of the year, it's like three TV series and one movie for me this year?"

   "Well..."Wang Zhaojun", "Nie Xiaoqian", "Wulin Biography"..."The Unspeakable Secret" is really three plays and one movie. Hey, big star, yes."

  He smiled and put a large piece of lamb chops into his girlfriend's noodle bowl:

   "Yang Mi Nian?"

   "...what do you mean?"

   Obviously, Yang Mi doesn't quite understand what boyfriend means.

  Actually, Xu Xin didn’t know how this word came out, so he simply described it:

   "That is, you have appeared in four works this year, and you can be seen in TV dramas and movies... You are going to be popular!"

   "Goose goose goose goose goose goose goose goose..."

   These words hit Yang Mi's heart.

   It made her laugh so hard that she couldn't stop.

  But she thinks her boyfriend is just joking.

  How can it be so easy to catch fire...

   "Wang Zhaojun" and "Liao Zhai" were filmed two years ago. Judging from the current point of view, there is no acting skills... nothing more than eccentric and innocent.

   This drama probably will inevitably be criticized.

   Although "The Unspeakable Secret" is the second female lead, strictly speaking, the scenes are all **** contestants who cause conflicts in the plot.

   "Wulin Biography" is also a supporting role, and it will come out after 20 or 30 episodes, and the scenes are also all of them.

  Why is it so easy to catch fire?

but…

   This still sounds very happy.

   It’s not in vain that my sister and I have served you so much this year~

  Smelly brother~

  …

  It was past 11 o'clock.

  After the young couple finished their supper, Yang Mi knew that although her father hadn't called yet...but he must be in a hurry.

   Then wiped his mouth:

"I am leaving."

"Um."

  Xu Xin responded:

   "I'll put the box in your car."

   "You can take it easy, don't let me touch you."

  She loves her little car very much.

   Not a 911, but a 350Z.

   After all, it was a gift from my father.

Although after driving the 911, driving the 350Z is like driving a bumper car... But it is dad's little padded jacket after all. In order to prevent dad from blowing his beard and staring at his future son-in-law, she usually drives this car most of the time .

"Know it."

  Carrying the box, Xu Xin carefully put it on the co-pilot's seat for her.

   The box is big. This car is just like the 911, and there is no storage space.

   Sitting in the main driver again, he got out of the car after making sure that the box did not block the view of the mirror on the right:

   "Okay."

   "Well, then I'm leaving...hugs..."

  At the door of the house, the two hugged each other.

  Xu Xin smelled her body fragrance and said:

   "Why don't you go back..."

   "Dream you, do you want my dad to arrest you in the middle of the night... I'm leaving, I'll come to you tomorrow. Are you going to the editing company during the day tomorrow?"

"Yes. I've been busy all morning, sorting out the fine-cut shots. The 77 minutes of the rough cut are just the main story line, and some detailed scenes have to be arranged as soon as possible. Edit quickly. Jay Chou came on the tenth day of the lunar new year, and he had to get detailed data before he could go. Tokyo, and..."

   "Oh, Elder Tang, Elder Tang...don't read it. I know you're busy, I'll be in touch tomorrow afternoon, so I'll leave quickly..."

   "...well, drive slowly and put on your seat belt."

"knew."

  Amidst the roar of the car, the girl waved her hand and left directly.

  With full satisfaction, she drove all the way to the gate of the community humming a song, and as expected, she saw her father holding a flashlight.

   So she dropped the window:

   "Dad, why are you out again... This car light is much brighter than a flashlight."

   "Do you still know to come back?"

  Yang Dalin glared at the girl angrily:

   "Why don't you come back the next day?"

  The girl said in her heart that I really want to... just because I am afraid that you will knock my dog ​​leg off.

   Then I saw my dad open the car door:

   "Come on, the parking spaces are full, Dad will find you a place... What is this?"

  Looking at the suitcase that took up a lot of space on the co-pilot, Yang Dalin was a little puzzled.

   "The sheep Xu Xin brought you is delicious."

  After the girl finished speaking, Yang Dalin nodded:

   "Then you follow me, go."

   "Don't, I'll open the trunk and you get in the car."

   "Nonsense, the rear door won't close tightly, and the pole is easy to break."

   "Not so much as..."

  Yang Mi just spoke, but Yang Dalin had already turned on the flashlight and walked into the community on his own.

   "Eh...Dad...Dad?...Oh, really..."

  She had no choice but to drive behind.

   Followed Dad at a very slow speed to find an open space above the curb.

   As a result, I stopped two, but I still can't wipe it in...

"dad…"

   "Tell me how stupid you are. You can't get in such a big space... I don't know how you manage to park on the side."

  The complaint from the old father and the disgusted expression deeply "stinged" the girl's heart.

  However, dad is still the almighty dad after all.

   Obviously I couldn’t park in the parking space, my dad drove out and backed it in, and the car was parked flawlessly.

   "Dad! Your level... is amazing!"

  Listening to his daughter's tone of admiration, Yang Dalin waved his hands with a calm expression on his face:

   "Functional."

   "Too awesome, too awesome."

"…Um."

  Although his face was still calm, he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.

   Unloaded the heavy suitcase from the co-pilot again, and he walked home with the suitcase in one hand and the girl in the other.

   asked while walking:

   "Why did you come back so late? Why did you go?"

   "I went to the movies. Didn't get together on Valentine's Day, let's make it up."

   "...Well, next time, go early, don't go home at 11 or 12, how dangerous it is outside."

"Know it…"

  …

  Xantao Digital has not started construction yet.

  But Cheng Long, as a partner, also gave Xu Xin face. He came to the company on the seventh day of the seventh day and started a shift ahead of schedule.

  The 77-minute rough cut of "The Unspeakable Secret" is the kind of splicing without any technical content.

  Just put together all the story shots of the main line, tell a complete story, and formulate an editing framework for the film.

   What is really delicate is the natural switching and transformation of each edited shot, and how to render according to the director's idea, as well as the editing of some close-ups, related clips, and atmosphere-enhancing clips. This is the fine work.

  According to Xu Xin's prediction, this film should be about 1 hour and 50 minutes long, excluding the end credits.

  One morning, he was mainly talking with Cheng Long about the concept of precision cutting, and he had already demonstrated his ideas through several examples on the spot.

   Cheng Long, who has the same name as his elder brother, is no doubt a gold medal editor. Once Xu Xin said it, people would understand.

  Not only do you understand, but people can even guess what you want to say after connecting.

  Give Xu Xin an image of a peerless master who has read all over the world's **** and has reached the realm of uncensored in his heart.

  But if you think about it carefully...they may have seen more movies than I have traveled.

   is also relieved.

  He is not a professional editor after all... To put it in the most realistic terms, he doesn't even know what the software on this computer is and how to use it.

  In short... the person Director Zhang found is really amazing.

  Although he can't understand...but it's really amazing.

   This is what he felt when he saw Yang Mi in the afternoon.

  I didn’t feel it in the rough cutting stage, but in the fine cutting stage, he felt emotional when he saw the virtue of others understanding what he meant before he finished speaking.

  Yang Mi, who made fun of it, thought he was going to be an editor...

  But this thing is just talking and laughing.

  She is an actress, she just needs to play her part well. As for the director's affairs, even if you ask her to intervene, she won't be able to intervene.

  Without this diamond, this porcelain work cannot be done.

   But she has to admit that she admires her boyfriend's inadvertent curiosity.

   Curious about everything.

  Want to try everything.

  Like a slap in the face...

  …

  The tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

   February 27, 2007 in the Gregorian calendar.

  February is not yet the tip of the tail. After a few months of rest, all the opening ceremony teams that looked refreshed gathered in the Olympic Building.

   Had the first meeting of the new year.

  At the meeting, Zhang Yimou directly shook his head on the issue of whether or not he had passed the trial that everyone was most concerned about, saying that he had not received any news. But it should be just around the corner, so don't worry.

   Next is to assign tasks.

  The plan has now been formulated, so it's time for the implementation of each link.

  From the beginning of the year, whether it is art troupes or soldiers, these people will be on standby at any time, and whether it is Chen Weiya or Zhang Wu, they will start to choreograph dances and practice phalanxes.

  The selection and training of these dancers are all in the charge of the team.

  In addition, the production of several major link props that have been reported in advance and passed the review will also start.

  First of all, it is the most important prop production: Fou.

  Last year, because Director Zhang firmly opposed the use of big drums, red silk and other elements, the people in the team quarreled for several days because of the use of drums for such a big scene.

   Also invited some experts to study.

  Everyone says drums are better.

   Unfortunately, as the chief director, Zhang Yimou disagreed.

  I also took out the black history commercials I shot before to show others, let them see what kind of disaster it is to use 2008 big drums in this scene.

   And it turned out to be disastrous indeed.

  The scene of hundreds of thousands of people playing drums... Director Zhang himself has done this, let alone the others.

   It's **** good if it looks good.

  Besides, maybe Zhang Yimou didn't say it, but everyone knew it. He is trying his best to avoid all the elements in the dark eight minutes of Athens.

   Including walking on stilts, Yangko, drums, red lanterns, Peking Opera and so on.

   Then everyone will study it.

   Several ancient instruments were studied.

   It starts with "zhu".

  An ancient musical instrument, a funnel-shaped thing without a drumhead.

  Everyone thinks this is okay...then they asked a historian to ask...the Chinese don't use this stuff, but the Koreans are using it.

  As a former vassal state, they have a set of "orthodox" strike methods inherited from the Celestial Dynasty.

  And if people from our side use it, in case there is something wrong with the Korean side...

  The expert didn't say it clearly.

  But Koreans have been making a lot of noise about "Confucius is ours" and "Dragon Boat Festival is ours" in recent years.

   At that time, we may not know what is going on.

   "Zhu" is directly rejected.

   And there are many more of the same things. Everyone searched around and found... Although these ancient musical instruments are no longer used in the Chinese dynasty, other countries still hold them like national treasures and continue to this day. No matter which one is used incorrectly, it may cause a "joke" and scratch the head directly.

  But the emperor pays off, the things left by the ancestors... there are too many.

  Finally, let the team find a gadget called "Fou".

   Hit Fou and the "Fou" in the song.

   This thing, first, has a long history. Unearthed with the chime.

  Second, no one uses it...not even a lot of people see it.

  Third, other countries did not "take" it.

   All of a sudden, it was in line with the wishes of the big guys.

  But I also face a problem, that is... except that this thing is a percussion instrument, I don't know anything else.

  How to knock, how to hit, how to make a sound...

no one knows.

   I found a bunch of experts, and went to the Modu for a field investigation, and found that apart from what looked like a copper pot with two ears, I didn’t know anything else.

  So, Director Zhang waved his hand:

"change."

   I found a group of experts to study and discuss, and finally I probably got a concept, and I want to come up with something with the "sound of gold and stone".

   This thing is Fou!

  Anyway, others don’t know how to use it. As the suzerain country, we are what we say.

  After studying the drum for a while, I finally settled on a drum-like tapping method, except that the sound and position are somewhat different.

   It was decided years ago, but I haven’t seen the real thing. I asked people from the Hongying Percussion Orchestra to study, but because it was the end of the year at that time, I couldn’t make a sample.

   It can only be set in the next year.

   And Xu Xin's first task at the beginning of the year is to go and see the things made with Fan Yue and Jiang Haoyang.

  Going on a business trip.

  Go to the prop factory in Hebei for two days.

  I left after the meeting that day.

   We stayed for two and a half days.

  Go at noon on the 27th and return at night on the 1st.

  It was nothing...

   Along the way, Xu Xin chatted and laughed with Director Fan and Director Jiang. Everyone was very relaxed.

   But I have seen the Yanjing toll booth.

   Fan Yue's phone rang.

  Xu Xin turned down the music, and then he heard Director Fan answer the phone:

   "Hey, Xiao Wei, we are heading back... What are you talking about!?"

  His raised voice stunned both Xu Xin and Jiang Haoyang.

   Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, Fan Yue's face became stiff, and even stammered:

   "No...no!?"

  ?

  A hint of doubt appeared in Xu Xin's eyes.

  缶?

  Fou what happened?

   Isn't it good?

  The sound, usage, etc. are also good...

  Fou what happened?

   Fourteen thousand three! Ask for a monthly ticket! !
