I'm the director, I'm not bad

On the day after the full moon wine, the family did not return to Yanjing, but stayed in Shenmu for another day.

But Xu Xin didn't join everyone the next day.

Instead, they rushed to Shanghai to hold the World Expo meeting.This time, he did not contact Xue Haifeng and the others.

It's almost enough to contact twice. It seems too deliberate to meet each other this time.

After a meeting in Shanghai, he returned to Yanjing, and as soon as he got off the plane and said goodbye to Zhang Wu, he got into Cheng Hu's car.

The car drove to the company.

After arriving at the company, Xu Xin walked to Yang Mi's office amidst the greetings of a group of people.

He has no presence in the company.Idle personnel outside the establishment.Nature does not deserve to have an office.

But fortunately, he and the proprietress have a nepotism, so it's only natural to temporarily requisition the boss's office for meeting guests.

"President Xu, what do you drink?"

"Just have a cup of tea, is anyone here?"

"Here we are, waiting in the reception room."

Hearing what the little secretary said, Xu Xin nodded:

"Just let them come here."

"OK."

Sitting on Yang Mi's spacious boss chair, he flipped through some documents on the table, and then heard footsteps coming from the door.

Looking up, Lu Yang, Chen Shu, and Fang Xiu walked in together.

"Ha ha."

Xu Xin smiled and stood up:

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

He directly avoided the greetings, and pointed to the sofa enthusiastically:

"sit."

With that said, he sat directly on the single sofa.

"Hi, Director Xu."

Lu Yang greeted Chen Shu with him.

Xu Xin nodded, and pouted at Fang Xiu again, saving him from the embarrassment caused by the different names.

After all, both of them called Director Xu, and when Lao Fang said "Old Xu", the two of them would inevitably feel a sense of intimacy and alienation.

After sitting down, Xu Xin asked:

"When did you come?"

"We just arrived. Then when we arrived, Director Fang also arrived."

Lu Yang's words meant that the three of them already knew each other, and it also saved Xu Xin the trouble of introducing someone.

So he nodded:
"Okay, then I'll cut the long story short, have you read the script?"

"Look."

Including Fang Xiu, the three nodded at the same time.

And Chen Shu directly took out the script of "Deal".

That's right, Xu Xin came to meet three people today because he planned to start the short film project "Trading".

But this time he didn't plan to use the "big guy" from Xiying Studio.no need.

After the College Student Image Festival invited him to be the director of the opening short film, he was given a budget of 10 yuan and a commission of 2 yuan.

Money is almost negligible.

Not to mention hiring Liu Yifei for this little money, any delay in the length of the film and the shooting progress would overrun the budget.

Not to mention the commission of 2 yuan.

If he is invited to direct, at the normal price, at least two zeros will be added.This is still low.

But he took the job anyway.

On the one hand, the platform launch of the short film "Trade" helped Liu Yifei.

On the other hand, he really wanted to shoot this story.Money is not considered at all.

And the reason for calling them here today is also very simple.

The people from Xiying Studio must have shot mosquitoes with cannons when they came to shoot. If nothing else, the cost of business trips is a huge expense.

So he integrated his "existing" resources.

Fang Xiu came to be a photographer, and Lu Haibo always wanted his son to have a stable environment to create.Then I will save face and come over to be the assistant director.

with Chen Shu

together.

"Director Lu, what about the short film "Trading", let me tell you and Director Chen about the situation first. First of all, the photographer is Lao Fang, and Lao Fang and us are college students.

Classmates, and we also made the film "Not Drunk" together. "

"Uh-huh."

Lu Yang nodded to express his understanding.

"The heroine has already been decided. As the opening short film of the College Student Video Festival, the heroine is Liu Yifei. But the role of the child still needs to be found. This is the entire lineup of the entire "Trading" crew." Hearing his words, Lu Yang took Out of my own notepad:

"Director: Xu Xin Assistant Director: Lu Yang, Chen Shu Director of Photography: Fang Xiu Starring: Liu Yifei"

"Director Xu, these are the people, and Chen Shu and I will be responsible for the rest of the preparations?"

"Yes."

Xu Xin nodded:
"In a week, I hope to finish the selection of the scene and the preparations of other crew members. You can discuss this point to see if there is anyone who can help you. For the audition, do it without delaying the children's studies. After all Isn’t there a holiday yet? So we can conduct a centralized selection on Saturday and Sunday.”

Hearing this, Lu Yang was a little surprised:
"Director Xu, this Saturday is the Golden Horse Awards, have you forgotten?"

"No, I'm not going."

Xu Xin waved his hand and said with a smile:

"If Yang Mi goes, I won't go. The child is too young. If both of us leave, we have to leave alone to take care of the baby. So when you audition, I may not be able to pass. When the time comes, the selected child Just give me the audition footage."

"Row."

Lu Yang nodded to express his understanding:
"Then the three of us are responsible for setting up the crew. The salary" "is given as normal. This is a short film, and for commercial purposes, it will only be broadcast on video festivals and on the Internet. I just like this story very much, and I didn't do it. Any other plans. It’s the same as "Not Drunk". The total budget of the film is 12. Liu Yifei and I don’t take a cent, and the rest of the production funds are here. Oh yes, the company will support the equipment, and other road guides Look and do it."

With that said, Xu Xin got up and took out a stack of manuscript paper from the backpack on the boss's desk.

"Here, sub-camera, and a vague image design."

All the manuscripts drawn by him were placed in front of the three of them.

"Let's audition according to this feeling. Let me explain to you a few places that are specially marked. The first is a snow scene, the snow scene
Words. We have to watch the sky.God, let me tell you, when will we be able to shoot.It is divided into pre-snow and post-snow, what I want to shoot here is "

He began to slowly talk about what needs to be paid attention to in this film in his own concept.

The three of them started to record with their notebooks.We talked for about an hour.

Most of the time, it was Xu Xin who was talking and the three of them were listening.

And an hour later, the director's shooting idea was roughly figured out, and the three of them already had an idea in their hearts.

The entire movie is about half an hour long.The shooting time is about 7 days.

But this 7 days is quite sufficient.

According to Fang Xiu's words, as long as there are no problems with the young actors, the crew will run faster, and it will be over in at most 2 days.

He is someone who has seen Xu Xin's shooting style.What he said also coincided with Xu Xin's.

The shooting idea was clarified, and the tasks were clearly explained.This meeting is over.

There was no formality such as "Let's have dinner together", and the three of them left together after the meeting.

Before leaving, Xu Xin asked Fang Xiu:
"Old Fang, when will the results of the documentary plan be released?"

"The notice is to wait until the end of this year. The Gregorian calendar year is considered a new action. So whether you pass or not, you have to wait until after New Year's Day."

"okay, I get it."

After the three of them left, he checked the time and saw that there was still time to go back for lunch, so he called Liu Yifei while walking downstairs.

After the phone rang for a long time, Liu Yifei's somewhat confused voice sounded:
"Hey?"

".Still up yet?"

After Xu Xin's voice sounded, the movement over there suddenly changed:
"Ah? You? I just saw it. What's the matter?"

Fine.

These girls are so confused.

"Just to tell you, after the "Golden Horse Awards", we may start shooting the short film "Deal"."

"Well, well where are you?"

"Just came back, what?"

"Then you're not going home?"

Xu Xin paused, and asked wonderingly, "Where are you?"

"at your home."

".You didn't leave last night?"

"No, I'm here to talk to Mimi about Jingqiu's affairs. It's a bit late, so I'm going to sleep here. Uh...11:[-]? I have to get up quickly. Are you coming back later?"

"Hey, I'm planning to go back now. Let's meet and talk about it later, don't go, let's have a meal together at noon."

"OK."

"Well, hang up."

When he was in Shanghai yesterday, he had dinner with Zhang Wu and Liu Kuan.During the meal, according to the habit, he reported to Yang Mi, and Yang Mi was also having dinner with Liu Yifei.The two belong to the state of normal business trips between husband and wife.

Where did I go, let me tell you, don't think too much about it.

Let me tell you what I do at home, so you can travel with peace of mind.That's probably what it means.

Unexpectedly, during my business trip, my wife actually did
this matter! ! ! !Ok.

Hurry home and have a look.

I hurried all the way home, and as soon as I opened the door, Zaizai and Niu Niu had already rushed over.

"Yo? It's rare, you two don't look at the child, and you still have a conscience to welcome me?"

Xu Xin hugged the heads of the two dogs and licked them.

Yang Dalin, who heard the movement in the kitchen, came out, saw his son-in-law and Cheng Hu, and said with a smile:

"Are you back? Don't touch the dog, wash your hands quickly, let's eat."

"okay."

In response, he pushed the box to the door, and just as he opened the door, he heard a sound:
"Daddy's back! Look! Daddy Daddy!"

Then, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei, each holding a baby, walked towards the door.

"Don't wait, the door is cold."

Xu Xin subconsciously stopped the two of them and hurried into the house.

After stepping aside, Cheng Hu also walked in and quickly closed the door.Blocking the cold air, Xu Xin was a little dazed.

In front of
Yang Mi is in front and Liu Yifei is behind.The two are holding a child.

Not to mention the wife's face, but Liu Yifei's appearance is the No. 1 in many people's hearts. [-].

And when these two people are staring at a man and laughing at the same time, especially because they are holding a child, the feeling of "girly" in the two of them will fade away, and it will be replaced by a touch of maternal brilliance
Just this moment.

Xu Xin suddenly felt that he understood why the ancients liked three wives and four concubines.

Really.

He will understand immediately.

Both children are of their own blood.

Besides his wife, if he and Liu Yifei have any relationship between men and women.

Just thinking about the sense of accomplishment of "wife and concubine Cheng Huan" made him a little distracted.

Marry a wife, marry a virtuous person, take a concubine.

This is really true.At this moment, he was very moved.

However, it is only at this moment.

When she saw the innocence in the big black eyes of the son in Yang Mi's arms, the carelessness was replaced by longing for the child.

I have to be a good father.

Set a good example for the two children.He said to himself in his heart.

Then, after completely regaining his composure, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'm still cold."

"I know, this is a grand welcome ceremony for you. Come on, baby, tell Dad. Tell Dad, you have worked hard on a business trip~"

Yang Mi shook the child's little hand, her lovely words seemed to be really spoken by the child.

Xu Xin couldn't help the smile on his face blooming again.

But this time, he squatted next to the radiator and waited for about ten seconds to dispel the chill from his body before walking to the sofa.

"Come on, give me a hug, Dad."

He hugged his lovely eldest daughter in his arms.

The tacit understanding between the old husband and wife made it unnecessary for both of them to say anything.

The moment the child was handed over to Xu Xin, Yang Mi raised her head.

After hugging and holding the child firmly, Xu Xin kissed his wife on the mouth.

The corner of Liu Yifei's mouth twitched.

He lowered his head and looked at Yang Yang, who was staring straight at his father. For no reason, four words popped up in his heart:

"Sick and compassionate."

She even felt that Yang Yang was more pitiful than herself.Tomorrow, at such a young age, he will have to endure this kind of "beating".

At this time, she heard Xu Xin's words:
"How are you getting ready? What did you guys talk about last night?"

The thoughts are over.

Just as Liu Yifei was about to answer, she heard Yang Mi say:

"I'm just talking about my understanding of the role of Jingqiu. We have a little dispute about the role of Jingqiu, or a guess about your shooting idea.

I think the theme of the movie you want to shoot should be a process.

From Jingqiu's ignorance, to the passionate love with the third child, to the bed scene you mentioned was just a sleeping scene. This process brings out a hidden expression.

It expresses that at this moment, Jingqiu's mentality has changed from a girl to a woman.
Didn't I know the experience of "Xiong Yin" before? Her husband is a person who looks like the third child, but in the end she divorced.And the reason why she divorced was because she told Amy that her husband changed before and after marriage. I think it’s more about “wake up” than “change”.In other words, her husband understood that from beginning to end, he was just a substitute for the third child.Continuing this kind of thinking is that a man can't accept that his wife is obviously married to him, but what he thinks, reads, and compares with is another man.That's why there's that kind of change.

This is what happened to Xiong Yin, because she was the one who felt sorry for her husband psychologically. "

"Yeah, keep talking."

Xu Xin didn't say right or wrong, but just asked Yang Mi to continue talking.

"So, according to my understanding, in the story of the movie script, after Jingqiu and the third child slept together on the same bed, as a conservative woman, she was actually "married".

In the end, when the third child died, Jingqiu was like a widow.The psychological changes she exhibited were very complete.
Later, what was the name of her friend.After coming to Jingqiu with her abandoned body after pregnancy, her reaction should be the feeling of cheating in marriage, and her performance should be anxiety and hatred.

And if I play the role of the whole person, both the braids and the girly feeling on the body will change.Because since she was "betrayed by the third child", she has already entered the ranks of adults.And the final ending of the story should also be an adult ending.

hawthorn tree, or that

a hawthorn tree.But Jingqiu should not be the Jingqiu at the beginning of the script. "

Speaking of this, she suddenly paused.

Looking at his brother inexplicably, a softness suddenly appeared in his tone:
"Also, I think the script of the third child lying on the hospital bed covered in bruises should also be dealt with. It's too simple and straightforward. Brother, the third child... loves Jingqiu very much, you know?

Even if he... passed away, he will definitely be in the sky, guarding Jingqiu in his own way
I think what happened to Xiong Yin is not a coincidence.The third child must have used his own way to help Jingqiu find a man who can treat her the same as him.Protecting, guarding, and caring for her in the dark.

But what he wanted Jing Qiu to understand was definitely not that he wanted Jing Qiu to stagnate forever.

His love. Very broad.

The reason why I push a person who is so like me to Jingqiu or Xiongyin is that I hope Xiongyin can look forward, move forward, and welcome her new life.But it's a pity. Xiong Yin didn't, she just used her husband as a substitute.That's why it's my idea to repeat the same mistakes. "

After Yang Mi finished speaking, she seemed afraid that Xu Xin would notice something, so she quickly pointed at Liu Yifei again:
"But her point of view is that Jing Qiu should be ignorant. Even if the two of them sleep together, her changes should not be so obvious. It should still have that girlish feeling throughout, so as to ensure the consistency of the overall tone of the movie. Also That’s what’s called pure to the end.”

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Xin:
"What is the correct answer in your heart?"

"I"

Now, it was Xu Xin's turn to hesitate.

In fact, it is very common for directors and actors to communicate the direction of the script and jointly study the development of the plot.

After all, 1 Hamlets have 1 Harry Potter Brad Pitts in their hearts.

Everyone understands something differently.

As a director, it is also a very happy thing for the director if he can learn other people's opinions and highlights.

Because everyone works together to help a work complete more profoundly
The.

And right now the words in his wife's mouth are like this.

Liu Yifei's perspective is his original shooting idea.

Pure and clean.

A clean mirror to the end.Pure pure.

But Yang Mi's words seemed to open a bright skylight in the house he had already built.

Unconsciously, he was thinking.

If, according to Yang Mi's statement, Jing Qiu's mental journey was transitioned from a bright line to a dark line, what would it feel like?

Sleeping with the third child symbolizes that Jingqiu's mentality has transitioned from a girl to a woman.

In the original script, after the two slept together, the third child sent Jing Qiu back the next day.

There is a clip of the two embracing in the air across the river.It was a breaking point for two people to sublimate their relationship.

The inspiration for this scene came from Gu Xiaobai's line "Holding hands and looking at teary eyes, I was speechless and choked up" when watching Liu Yong's "Yu Linling".

In Xu Xin's mind, the two embraced each other and wept silently,
It's a very straightforward way of expressing your feelings.But, what if we follow Yang Mi's train of thought?The third child knew that he had leukemia.

Jingqiu didn't know.

Therefore, across the river, is between life and death.

The hug between the two seems to express their emotions to each other, but in fact it symbolizes the thin line between life and death.

They are only separated by a river, but they are so cruel that they can no longer blend into each other.

And the third child was crying.

What if Jingqiu's play was changed to a smile?Or a happy smile.

The third child cried because he knew he could not be with Jing

Autumn forever.Jing Qiu laughed, because the sweet love between her and the third child had just begun.Oh?

This conflict of contradictions.
That means that Jingqiu can be more sunny in terms of handling the plot where Jingqiu was afraid that the third child would get leukemia.

Whether it is the sense of the lens, or the relaxed soundtrack, or the use of scenery or some seemingly random clues to express implicitly
The composition of lies.
The audience thought that the story would not be so bloody, and the third child did not have leukemia.And then with the sudden tears.

Let the audience mistakenly think that the third child is reluctant to give up Jingqiu.

Finally, when Jingqiu saw the third child lying on the hospital bed covered in bruises, the scene was shocking.
"Well! Very good. The plot tension of your line of thinking is stronger! It is stronger than the pure feeling I imagined before! The speculation and doubts of fiction and reality, life and death, love and hate are progressing to the end. In the final scene, the sudden burst of feeling looks great now!"

His answer was equivalent to his approval of Yang Mi's answer.Then.
"Give."

Five minutes had passed before the child was scented, Xu Xin handed it directly to Yang Mi's arms again, and then walked quickly to the study.

For this paragraph, he had to think about it as a whole.

Think about it.

And if this is done well, then the feeling of the whole script will rise to a higher level.

"Don't call me for lunch."

"Crack." The door closed.

Yang Mi hugged the child as usual, and looked at Liu Yifei:
"It seems... I won."

Liu Yifei was speechless.

In fact, to be honest, she was indeed convinced by Yang Mi's statement last night.

In the bottom of my heart, I also think that it will be better handled this way.But there is also a small problem here.

That is.
"Why do you change so much now?"

She couldn't help but ask:

"It feels completely different, whether it's the role or the feeling of the acting. Why is there such a big gap?" "This time it's not the gap between the role and the acting."

Yang Mi shook her head slightly.

And Liu Yifei didn't know if she had an illusion.She always felt that Mimi's eye circles were a little red.

When I was in doubt, I heard the other party say:

"It's the inspiration I got from a very gentle person. Love is definitely not about stagnation. It's about hoping for a better life for the other person. I think...in the case of the third child, he must mean that."

".?"

Liu Yifei didn't understand this at first glance.

After chewing on the meaning repeatedly, he tentatively asked:

"So. Your idea and inspiration have a prototype?"

".Ok."

"Can you tell me what's going on? I think it inspires me a lot." "No."

Her words were rejected by Yang Mi without hesitation.

"I can't tell you and never will tell anyone. Just take it as a . . .

Speaking of this, Yang Mi paused.

When he turned his head to look at Liu Yifei, he showed a smile that was hard to describe in words, but seemed to have a tacit understanding with someone:

""The Untold Secret"."

In Liu Yifei's speechlessness, she softly hugged her daughter and hummed a song:
"I believe you are still here~

never left~
My love is like an angel guarding you~~~
If life only ends here ~ without me from now on ~
I will find an angel to love you for me~"

This

The song, she sang very well.

But Liu Yifei was baffled when he heard it.
