The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 416 Brother Hu: Director Li is really hardworking
There are not many flights from the mainland to Istanbul. There are about three flights every week, and it takes a total of nine hours.

When Brother Hu took his assistant on the plane to Istanbul, he hummed a little tune and his body swayed with the music.

He was already handsome, and his posture attracted the attention of many female passengers.

Even the stewardess stared at him. After finding out that he was a big star, she looked calm on the surface and stepped forward excitedly to ask for his autograph.

Only then did Brother Hu realize that he was too ostentatious just now.

He stopped twisting his body, put on the earphones, took out his notebook, and read the notes while listening to the song.

This notebook is a script character note for the film "Introduction to Architecture".

This year, Director Li will praise him and let him act in three movies. "Taken 23" will be soy sauce, and "Introduction to Architecture" will be the leading actor.

Previously, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" and "A Little Thing of First Love" were very popular. The combined box office of the two sides of the strait and the three places is almost [-] million, which is very good.

This time he will star in the love movie of Fenghua and Wanwan, which has attracted the envy of many entertainers in the entertainment industry.

His fans are naturally excited, and everyone expects him to successfully enter the film industry.

Brother Hu also cherishes this opportunity very much.

After getting the script, even if a female celebrity invited him to drink chicken soup, he refused and studied the characters honestly.

He believed that hard work can make up for one's weakness, so he took notes and wrote biographies.

He hopes to seize the opportunity in this way.

The assistant sat next to him, with a distressed expression on his face, "Brother, you watched it for two hours yesterday, do you want to watch it again today? Do you want to take a break?"

Brother Hu shook his head, "No, at least two hours, you need to study thoroughly."

"Introduction to Architecture" will be launched next month, and Brother Hu will go to Wanwan at that time.

And now he's off to Istanbul to film a part of "Taken 23."

When "Introduction to Architecture" is finished, he will go to the beautiful country in late August at the latest. "Taken 23" still has some scenes in the beautiful country.

Although "Taken 23" has a larger investment, but he doesn't have many roles, and it's not difficult. He didn't spend much time thinking about the plot, and mainly studied "Introduction to Architecture".

About this movie, Brother Hu likes it very much. He thinks this movie is better than the previous two co-produced movies, more real and more emotional.

He is very grateful to Lee Seung Yew for giving him such a good role.

This time he went to Istanbul, he brought a small gift to express his gratitude to Director Li.

They took off at ten o'clock in the morning and could not arrive in Istanbul until evening.

Brother Hu intends to read the notes, then take a good rest, and strive to face the rest of the crew of "Taken 23" in the best condition.

Two hours passed by, Brother Hu nodded in satisfaction, feeling that he hadn't wasted time, then closed his notebook, closed his eyes, and planned to sleep.

After all, it was a young man. He closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep, so he opened a comedy movie. After watching the movie without knowing it, he was still very energetic. Then he watched another movie, and then he felt a little tired, and then Close your eyes and sleep.

This sleep lasted for several hours, and when he woke up, they had already arrived in Istanbul.

After leaving the airport, I was picked up by the crew's special car and rushed to the hotel where the crew of "Taken 23" lived.

Li Shengyao didn't come to pick up Brother Hu, but Li Shengyao's assistant came.

"Brother Hu, don't mind, Tuji's national TV station is interviewing the boss, and he doesn't have time to pick you up."

Brother Hu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Director Li to have such a reputation in a country where Chinese people are relatively unfamiliar.

Could it be that Cheng Long is also there? Director Li caught Cheng Long's attention.

At this time, Li Shengyao's assistant continued: "This time, Tuji's TV station is here for the boss, not to interview Cheng Long."

The assistant had a smug look on his face, "Tuji here wants to learn Fenghua's idol drama production, so I came here for an interview."

So, Brother Hu thought of the idol dramas whose style is popular in Southeast Asia and sold far away to Zhongdong and Nanmei.

"Let's eat something first, then sleep and adjust."

When Brother Hu heard this, he immediately shook his head, "I'll wait after dinner and meet Director Li."

After all, he is the boss and a noble person, so he naturally has to show his attitude.

Half an hour later, Brother Hu had eaten, and when he came to the conference room of the hotel, he could see a very beautiful woman interviewing Director Li through the glass window.

There was a cameraman behind the two of them, and a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance, a medium build, and wearing glasses, who folded his hands on his chest and nodded repeatedly.

Hu Ge pulled a chair and sat down to wait for Director Li.

In the conference room, Director Li talked eloquently, and the glamorous hostess had peach blossoms in her eyes, covering her mouth and chuckling from time to time.

It looks like we have to wait a long time.

Brother Hu's assistant sat next to him and said in a low voice, "The boss is really awesome. He spoke English the whole time without an interpreter."

The assistant glanced left and right, and then said: "It's amazing, if I have such English, I will go to the beautiful country to wash dishes."

Brother Hu was envious of Li Shengyao's English, and nodded, "Yes, his English is very good, and he will definitely be able to find a job in the beautiful country."

When he thought of the assistant saying "washing dishes", he couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Is it okay to be a little bit promising? After all, you graduated from college, how do you wash dishes?"

"Brother, it costs more than 1000 dollars to wash dishes in the beautiful country, and it costs tens of thousands."

The assistant couldn't stay idle, and then sneaked away. In less than 10 minutes, the assistant came back to Brother Hu in a mean manner.

"Brother, do you know who the middle-aged man inside is like the leader!"

"who is it?"

Brother Hu knew that the assistant was an inquisitor, and he must have heard some news. He was also curious, so he asked a question along the way.

The assistant thought for a while, and then said proudly, "Nuri... Nuri Big Ceylon."

The names of foreigners are relatively long. Brother Hu listened to them again, but he couldn't hear them clearly. He shook his head, "Who?"

"Nuri Big Ceylon."

This time the assistant spoke much more clearly.

Brother Hu understood, but he had never heard of this name.

"This is a well-known film director in Tuji. He has won an award at the Berlin Film Festival. This time, he came here to ask the boss for advice."

Brother Hu was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded in admiration, "That's really amazing."

Regarding the assistant's words, Brother Hu has no doubts. Although Lee Shengyao has not won an award, his achievements in commercial films are enough. Brother Hu has read the newspapers. Director Li is now the director with the highest cumulative box office in Asia.

He felt that Li Shengyao would definitely be able to point out that native chicken director.

After waiting for an hour, the interview ended, and the hostess left with the cameraman with a look of reluctance.

And Li Shengyao chatted with Nuri Big Ceylon. Although they couldn't hear what the two of them talked about, it can be seen from their expressions that this local chicken director respects Li Shengyao very much. Will lightly clap and clap.

In this way, Brother Hu waited for another hour, and the big local chicken director finally bowed down and saluted, and then left the conference room.

Seeing this, Brother Hu immediately entered the meeting room, gave gifts, and said some good things.

……

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, the morning ceremony in Istanbul arrived, and then the chanting sounded.

Brother Hu heard the sound resounding throughout the city, sat up from the bed at once, and then went to the window in a daze to watch the situation outside.

Then he found that there was no one outside, the sky was also gray, and the sun had not yet risen.

He scratched his head, and then realized that this place is native chicken, and the customs here are different from those in the mainland.

He nodded thoughtfully, and just as he was about to turn around and go back to sleep, he saw a familiar figure running under the hotel building.

"Director Li."

Never expected that Li Shengyao would get up so early and do morning exercises.

Thinking of Li Shengyao's strong body, Brother Hu couldn't help admiring him.

There are a lot of male stars in the entertainment industry who work out, but more people let them develop, as long as they are not too fat and affect their photogenic appearance.

Brother Hu belongs to the type of people who go to the gym to exercise for half an hour when they are interested.

If he didn't think of it, then he spent most of his time hiding at home and sleeping late.

Brother Hu was a little hesitant for a while, do you want to go to do morning exercises together?

He then thought that he hadn't run for a long time, and he was out of breath after running for a while.

"Forget it, it's better not to be ashamed in the past."

Brother Hu then went back to bed and went to sleep.

This time he slept until eight o'clock, when the assistant ran over and called him up.

Wash up, eat breakfast, and then follow the crew's bus to the set.

Amanda, Elizabeth Hurley, and Cheng Long were all sitting on this bus.

Brother Hu heard that Li Shengyao had already passed by.

He was a little worried at first, whether he would go there by himself after [-] o'clock, but seeing the other main actors doing the same, he immediately relaxed a lot.

There are very few high-rise buildings in Istanbul, and the special architectural style of middle buildings and Europeans makes Hu Ge, who has never been to Istanbul before, very curious.

Looking at it all the way, I feel that the whole person is in a much better mood.

When I came to the set, I found that it was a place similar to a vegetable market, and other actors came over.

Today there is no scene for Brother Hu, the assistant director told her to shoot Brother Hu's part after the current scene is over, he just came to see the usual shooting situation of the crew.

Cheng Long, Elizabeth Hurley and others went to make up immediately, while Li Shengyao was walking.

As he walked, he was talking to the translator next to him.

It's all in English, and Brother Hu can occasionally hear a few words.

He couldn't help admiring Li Dao's English even more, and then realized that Li Dao can go to Hollywood to direct, and he does have the ability that other mainland directors do not have.

After Li Shengyao finished chatting with the translator, he also chatted with the actors, assistant director, and photographer, and kept making gestures.

He is undoubtedly very busy.

Brother Hu stood quietly on the side, looking at Li Shengyao, his admiration grew even stronger.

Director Li has put in a lot of sweat to achieve today's results.

After the actors finished their makeup, they began to rehearse. It is said that this scene has been filmed for three days, and today is the fourth day. The camera was turned on before, but it did not achieve the best results.

At this time, the actors were rehearsing, and Li Dadao retreated to one side, staring intently.

After the actors had rehearsed, Li Shengyao stepped forward to point out the shortcomings, and the actors continued to rehearse. After they met the requirements, today's shooting officially started.

Hu Ge stood aside and watched quietly. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the shooting requirements here were stricter than those in the mainland.

He thought that he hadn't seriously prepared for the role in "Taken 23", and suddenly became a little nervous.

He secretly comforted himself for a while, dispelled the tension, and then continued to observe.

In this way, Brother Hu stayed on the set until six o'clock in the afternoon, and followed Cheng Long and the others back to the hotel.

He had dinner and found that Li Shengyao and the others had just returned.

When Brother Hu was wandering with his assistant, he found that Director Li and the others had a meeting after they had eaten.

The assistant was full of emotion, "The boss is really hardworking."

Hearing this, Brother Hu felt satisfied when he thought that he studied "Introduction to Architecture" for two hours a day, and he couldn't help feeling a little hot, and at the same time felt a sense of motivation.

He immediately turned and went back to his room, intending to study "Introduction to Architecture".

At ten o'clock, the assistant ran into Brother Hu's room, "Boss and the others have adjourned the meeting."

At eleven o'clock, the assistant came in again, "The boss is still awake, and the room is still lit."

Brother Hu heard the words, put down his notebook, and sighed, "Director Li is really amazing. Compared with him, I'm just a fake hard-working."

"I have decided that I will go to bed at twelve o'clock in the future and study the script for four hours a day."

……

In Director Li's room, the lights were bright, and Amanda was wearing a kilt, swinging her body, "Come on, honey, don't you want to go back to Huaxia, we have to hurry up."
