Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 323: Is this guy Xu Nian secretly becoming a scumbag again?
"..."

The small dressing room was crowded with the main members of the crew, each looking more excited than the other.

The thoughts are more divergent than the others.

"Look, there's no reason why Mr. Xu can be so successful?"

"As the most handsome person who became famous by his appearance, he doesn't care about his appearance at all and sacrifices his life only for his art!"

“No wonder it enjoys such a high reputation around the world!!”

"He deserves it!"

"If this kind of thing were to happen to other popular stars, the world would be turned upside down. If it were to involve all the crew members, it would have to be Mr. Xu!"

"Before, I didn't even have a beard. I just grew it all by myself. The focus is on authenticity!!!"

"You are indeed my lucky star, Li!"

"When The Wandering Earth is released, I have to show off for half a year to let the industry see what the real top style is!!!"

"..."

Of course Mr. Xu wouldn't think so much. He just looked at Li Cheng like a fool and curled his lips and said, "You didn't even ask me if I would like to shave my hair."

"If I hadn't taken the initiative, this matter would have just gone away. If I hadn't said that you middle-aged comrades don't respect art!"

"No wonder I haven't won a decent directing award for so long."

Li Cheng: "..."

Zhuang Hui: "..."

Chen Yifan: "..."

What kind of thing were we moving when we stepped on the horse just now?

Is this what people say?
So aggressive?

We can’t win Best Director, is it because we don’t want to win?Do we not respect art?
Even if we don’t respect art, doesn’t it mean we don’t have the ability and the right opportunity?
Oh shit!

So angry.

The three of them can come up with a bunch of things to say back to anyone who says this, but this person is Mr. Xu, and the three of them have no nonsense.

Before meeting Mr. Xu, Li Cheng and Zhuang Hui were both somewhat famous but not famous enough.

It was only after meeting Mr. Xu that I discovered that life could be so graceful.

The most important thing is that they all know that the biggest difference between Mr. Xu and them is...

It's really not that he, Xu, is not good enough to win the prize, but that there are some hidden rules in this world that are deliberately making things difficult for him.

Such as Oscar winner.

With Xu's performance in Infernal Affairs, as well as the global popularity of Infernal Affairs, coupled with the theme of Infernal Affairs, he will be the best actor anywhere.

And as long as the film crew and Mr. Xu are willing to participate in the three major international film festivals, they will definitely win the Best Actor.

Nothing else, the version name of Blue Star in this era should be called...Xu Nian.

Fortunately, Li Cheng was already very familiar with Mr. Xu, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Let's not rush to get a haircut today."

"Tomorrow is May Day, the crew has a day off."

“It’s too late to shave my hair after May Day.”

"Just after this month of hard work, we have a practical foundation for directing science fiction films, and we can start full-scale production in May."

"I estimate that Xu Peiqiang's scenes can be filmed in about half a month. It just so happens that the scenes of Xu Peiqiang's scenes are relatively independent."

Seeing Xu Nian looking over, Chen Yifan quickly expressed his opinion: "Yes, yes, according to the revised shooting plan, it will take more than half a month."

"I can't mess with you by shaving and growing your hair now and then. It just so happens that the 'space station' is a completely independent scene."

"This part was shot independently..."

After listening, Xu Nian just asked: "What are you filming today?"

"I just have to make up two more scenes involving hair." Chen Yifan replied.

So it was settled.

In fact, it was precisely because of the unique design of The Wandering Earth, which is divided into three parts: a space station part and a general surface and underground part, that Li Cheng and the others finally chose Xu Nian to play the leading role in the two-part plot.

Because of this, many actors who have some pan-ground roles are still vacant.

For example, Xu Nian has been thinking about the French Aunt Rose Green whom he wanted to invite.

As well as actor Long Yingdi, who plays the important supporting role of 'Han Ziang', are not in a hurry to join the cast.

It’s not impossible to use more and larger venue settings and shoot in groups at the same time.

It's not that it's not necessary.

Purely because the main creative staff do not have rich experience in making science fiction films, and they need to accumulate it step by step.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a quarrel between the three directors.

This is all because... I don’t have enough experience and I need to move forward step by step.

Science fiction or fantasy films have a very important key. They need to use many props to create the atmosphere and fully show reality to increase the audience's immersion.

For example, if it is positioned as a wandering earth in the future world, we can't just use some current technological products.

Should things like mobile phones be upgraded to more interesting carriers?

How to make these carriers have better authenticity and observability during the shooting stage? Does the director and the crew need to find a way?

It can't be that even the basic science fiction and fantasy framework is full of loopholes.

Then... Mr. Xu's face will be smashed. He was bragging at an occasion like the Oscars.

In addition, we need to combine the novel enough framework of The Wandering Earth to pay attention to the structure of the story, as well as the artistic aesthetics of this and that.

All of these are obviously tests for the creative team.

…………

The last day of April passed in a simple daily life on the set, except for a few hiccups, without any wind or waves.

On the first day of May, Xu Nian got up early.

It must be said that he is very satisfied with the conscientious arrangement of the crew. The great May Day holiday should be given to everyone.

Although it’s only a short day, it’s not very convenient to make any itinerary arrangements, but it’s good to have some time off.As a migrant worker, anything that comes with the word 'holiday' is joyful.

You must know that migrant workers like Mr. Xu don’t distinguish between Saturday and Sunday at all.

As long as you join the group, no matter whether it's windy or rainy, every day is a working day!

And sometimes he doesn’t give up day and night!
Apart from anything else, just from the fact that Xu Nian got up at six o'clock, you know how much he is looking forward to this holiday.

After a simple workout in the morning, he finished his breakfast leisurely, and then asked Meng Chao to go to the hotel to ask for a simpler car, so that Meng Chao could take him out to explore the bustle of Qingdao.

It was only one day, and even though there was a Gulfstream G700 parked at the airport and ready to go at any time, he didn't want to bother any more.

What if I go back to the Flower City?

Nobody can see it.

The two people who lived in Tianhe Yunshu were already having fun while Xu was away.

For example, Mr. Zhang, seeing that Xu was not around, quickly went overseas to inspect Zhang's international business.

She said she wanted to sell several companies and get rid of some businesses that she was not interested in.

By the way, let’s see if she wants to expand her personal entertainment industry territory a little bit.

This woman is bad.

When he, Xu, is free, sooner or later he will have to teach her what youthful anger is.

Then there was the retired singer Lin. Seeing that Xu was not around, he hurriedly went all over the country to collect music.

He said that he has already finished the Blue Lotus song and Dusk, and is now gathering additional inspiration.

In order to have more inspiration to adapt to Mr. Xu’s new ideas.

This woman is even worse.

Caifeng actually didn't take him, Xu, and just enjoyed the scenery by himself.

Just wait, hang him up and beat him if he is caught one day.

With everything like this, Xu Nian naturally chose to take a casual one-day trip to Qingdao.

Later, Xu Nian brought Han Duoduo along with him.

He is the last good person in Blue Star. Of course, it is impossible for him to arrange any "personnel observation" for Han Duoduo during the holidays.

It's a coincidence.

Han Duoduo also wants to go out and play. She is now an amateur. No one knows her, and the treatment of artists is not very good.

Because the set is near the hotel, the crew rarely arranges any special cars.

Today happens to be the first day of the May Day holiday, and this little girl couldn't get a taxi on the street.

Xunsi was traveling by car anyway, so Xu Nian naturally didn't mind giving her a ride.

Han Duoduo followed the car door pushed open by Xu Nian and sat in the back row, and quickly thanked her: "Thank you, Teacher Xu, thank you Brother Meng."

"You're welcome." Xu Nian waved his hand indifferently, "Tell Meng where to go."

"Won't it delay you too much?"

"We are aimless today, it doesn't matter."

"Oh, thank you."

"..."

Meng Chao, who joined the group, naturally followed Mr. Xu and went wherever he was arranged.

No matter how much Meng Chao rebelled in this situation, he would not have any other ideas.

After all, he has not forgotten his identity as an agent.

When you go out with Xu Nian, why do you want freedom? Just follow him honestly. Otherwise, what happened to make Mr. Xu find him an agent all over the world?

Moreover, Meng Chao and Xu Nian had done so many things that they had to go out and wander around for a long time, and they had already become proficient at it.

Basically, they just randomly look around and then choose a very unique restaurant to take a bite.

If it doesn't taste good, Meng Chao will take full responsibility and that will be the end of it.

So the current situation is certainly not unusual, and it is not a problem to send Han Duoduo first.

Han Duoduo was also very sensible and had no intention of following the two of them. She just honestly reported her destination.

Then he explained that he was going to meet a good friend from high school.

Hearing this, Xu Nian felt a very distant feeling, and couldn't help but tell Meng Chao: "High school happened five or six years ago. Meng, how many years has it been since you graduated from high school?"

"Ten years."

"Are there any high school classmates you have frequent contact with?"

"My wife."

"You're so damn damn good!"

"..."

Xu Nian never expected that Meng Fangu could suddenly stab him at such a moment.

It’s so satisfying for this kid.

Damn!

.........

On a busy street in the city, Han Duoduo got off the car, said goodbye with a smile, and then blended into the crowd, while Xu Nian and Meng Chao continued to wander.

About ten minutes later, Meng Chao suddenly received a call.

Then he looked back at Xu Nian and said with a strange expression: "You are on the hot search again, and you directly landed on the headlines."

"New scandal."

Xu Nian: "..."

At this moment, a hot-search headline topic appeared on Weibo:
#XuNian is this guy secretly acting like a scumbag again?
6!
