I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 242 [Ask for advice]

"The character analysis this time was... barely adequate, quite satisfactory."

Late at night, after the shooting, while others were cleaning up the place, Cai Siqi came to the room where the director's monitor was placed with a report on her understanding of the character alone, and knocked on the door.

"Then let's do this for now. Although the role of the ex-girlfriend is quite important in the film, she actually doesn't have many roles. With your talent, there is no problem in grasping this small role." Lu Zhengyi looked at it briefly. After taking a look at the document she handed over, he didn't embarrass her any more, "But there will still be some time before filming your scene. During this time, you can also think more about this character."

"Thank you, Director Lu."

Cai Siqi took the document back with both hands, but she didn't move for a long time.

The whole person stood there, the tension and struggling emotions almost overflowing.

After a while, she seemed to have made a decision and took out her mobile phone, "Director Lu, I still have..."

"If it's Zhang Xin's character analysis, there's no need to show it to me."

But before she finished speaking, Lu Zhengyi interrupted, "Work is not a game, and people can't be changed just by asking."

"You also saw Teacher Huang's performance just now. She has a certain understanding of this role, and her performance in the interpretation is also outstanding."

"No matter how impressive the character analysis you come up with is, it's impossible for me to replace the person again."

I didn't take the initiative before, but now that the role is gone, it's already too late to fight for it.

"..."

Cai Siqi pursed her lips tightly and nodded silently for a while.

After briefly greeting Lu Zhengyi, she left the house.

Lu Zhengyi did not leave. He planned to take advantage of the time when others were cleaning up the scene to confirm the content of today's shooting.

But not long after Cai Siqi left the house, another person staggered, knocked on the door and entered the house.

"Don't worry, your role is still yours."

Huang Yunli had just entered the room with a smile on her face. Lu Zhengyi stared at the picture on the monitor and spoke without even looking back, "Have a good rest after the filming and don't run around. Your foot can't be considered a work-related injury." , I am responsible."

Although in his crew, these two young actors cannot make big waves, they definitely pay attention to each other.

If Cai Siqi came to hand in her homework, the other one would definitely come to check in, so he was not surprised.

"……okay!"

Huang Yunli didn't say much and responded happily.

Then, she staggered away again and closed the door.

This took a while.

"Dong dong dong."

Lu Zhengyi turned off the monitor helplessly, stood and turned around.

What happened today? Just before getting off work, I planned to watch the content I shot today but I didn’t get a chance.

"Director Lu, we have guests."

The person coming is Team Leader Wang, no, no, it should be Assistant Wang.

After he poked his head into the room, he whispered, "It's Director Li."

Director Li?

Lu Zhengyi was a little confused about this title.

Among the directors he knew, when was there Director Li?
"The one that Teacher Yu worked with before."

Assistant Wang reminded, "Director Li Chuanxin from Ancient Village Record."

"It seems that Teacher Yu accidentally mentioned that we are turning on the computer here, and it came directly to us."

"I just confirmed with Teacher Yu in a private chat. She didn't hear Director Li say she was coming, otherwise she would have informed us in advance."

Lu Zhengyi had an impression about this person.

"Oh, it's him."

He nodded, took out his cell phone, and said to Assistant Wang, "You go over first and let Lao Zhang help with the support. I'll ask about the situation here, and then go over."

Lu Zhengyi must first confirm the purpose of Li Chuanxin's visit before deciding whether to go or not.

It's not that I'm afraid that this person will cause trouble.

At least he had a relationship with Yu Wenxiu, and the two parties had previously collaborated on a marketing campaign. His grudge could be considered to have boosted the sales of his ancient village records. The sudden visit of the other party should not cause trouble.

Even if he really comes to cause trouble, Lu Zhengyi is not afraid.

I'm just afraid that people will come over with a smile and ask for something.

After Assistant Wang left, Lu Zhengyi opened WeChat.

"Sorry, Director Lu, I just said it casually while chatting in private. I didn't expect Director Li to come directly to him."

Above, Yu Wenxiu had already sent him a message in private. However, since he had been filming before, so he kept the do-not-disturb mode on, there was no sound reminder for this message.

"It's okay. Can you guess what Director Li plans to do?"

Lu Zhengyi replied a message to her.

When he sends messages to other members of the crew, as long as they have their phones nearby, they will reply almost instantly, as if everyone has clicked on him for special attention.

Sure enough, at this point, Yu Wenxiu didn't seem to be working. The phone was next to her and she responded to the message instantly.

"I don't know, I can't guess, but he must be in a hurry." Yu Wenxiu responded to the message, "I leaked the news when I was chatting with him and sending messages in the morning. He arrived in Liancheng in the evening, and he almost booked the flight ticket immediately. Rushed over."

Lu Zhengyi held his mobile phone and thought for a moment.

Then, while taking his coat and closing the door of the monitoring room, he took his cell phone and asked, "Has he been in any trouble recently? Do you know his recent schedule?"

"Probably not. Director Li is not very popular in the industry. He didn't become famous until he filmed the Ancient Village Record. There is no trouble to find him." Yu Wenxiu continued to reply to the message in seconds, "As for It seems that he has a new script in preparation for his recent trip.”

New script?

"understood."

Lu Zhengyi had a few guesses in his mind and put on his coat, "It's quite late. You should go to bed early and I won't disturb you."

After sending the message, he put his phone in his pocket again and walked downstairs.

"Brother Yu, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You are a senior, so I should call you brother."

"Actually, a few years ago, when I just graduated from school, the first time I joined a crew, it was with your crew."

"Yes, yes, you were the executive director at the time, and I was working with the director as an assistant."

As soon as he came downstairs and before seeing anyone, Lu Zhengyi heard a relatively unfamiliar voice greeting Zhang Yu familiarly.

Not to mention, a few words made Lao Zhang open up his chat box.

By the time Lu Zhengyi met someone, the two of them were already surrounded by others and began to reminisce about the past.

"Unknowingly, so many years have passed. I didn't even know it was your kid at first."

"But I have read your ancient village records, and Teacher Yu and I are old acquaintances."

"The filming was good. It can be seen that a lot of thought was put into the directing and post-production."

Most likely, he was old and seriously ill, and experienced life and death.

Lao Zhang seemed very enthusiastic about the people he had worked with when he was young. He also introduced Bai Wei, followed by Ajie, Wei Kang...the crew members.

He introduced them to Li Chuanxin one by one.

Of course, Wang Xiaoxu has no share.

He was disappearing and standing at the top of the stairs in a daze.

Seeing Lu Zhengyi coming down, Wang Xiaoxu hurried up.

"Director Lu, this person is quite polite." He reported in a low voice what happened after he arrived, "He brought gifts, and here they are piled in the corner. There are a lot of things to eat and drink, and they are not cheap. , what about red ginseng oral liquid, wild ginseng tablets... They say we tend to lose energy and blood when we stay up late filming, so we bought them specially to replenish our energy."

It was said to be a report, but Wang Xiaoxu's straightforward temperament showed nothing.

One sentence after another, just looking at the food.

"I see."

After Lu Zhengyi replied softly, he strode over there.

"Director Lu, I'm sorry."

As he approached, his burly body could not be blocked by others. Li Chuanxin saw it at a glance. Then his eyes lit up and he trotted towards him. He apologized, "I came to visit unexpectedly." , causing trouble to your crew."

Lu Zhengyi didn't say any polite words like "no trouble" and asked straight to the point, "Director Li came to visit unexpectedly. What's the matter?"

trouble?It was indeed added.

It's not too early now. Originally, everyone had to go back and rest after work to recuperate for tomorrow's shooting.

But now that people are stuck here, it will be difficult for them to leave directly.

"...It's something."

Li Chuanxin didn't seem to expect Lu Zhengyi to be so direct, and replied with a smile, "Actually, I have been here a long time ago, but I saw you guys filming earlier, so I didn't bother you."

"I am also a director, so I know how important the state is during filming, so I have been waiting at the door. As a result, the wait has ended now."

"Originally, I was thinking about inviting Director Lu to have dinner and talk about this matter, but now... you don't think it's convenient for us to have a late-night snack together. I just took a look in the car. There is a night market nearby, which is quite famous. of."

Having said this, he paused and looked at the others, "Do you have time?"

"I'll take care of everyone's supper tonight."

It can be seen that he is really anxious.

Lu Zhengyi looked at him and hesitated for a moment, "Okay, let's have a meal."

As he said that, he looked at the others beside him and said, "Everyone, please clean up. Let's go enjoy Director Li's late-night snack."

"Here, we won't go here."

But as soon as Lu Zhengyi finished speaking, Zhang Yu, who had just been friends with Li Chuanxin and reminiscing about the past, waved his hand cheerfully, "I heard Director Li probably talking about work matters, so it wouldn't be a good fit for us." It’s time to get off work now, and I don’t want to work overtime.”

"Yeah, I don't want to work overtime either, Director Lu, you two can go ahead."

Ajie also spoke.

"Yes, yes, I'm so sleepy. Now I just want to go back to the hotel and sleep."

"We have to film tomorrow, forget it."

"Just go and go."

The old man opened his mouth, and others also agreed.

Although they didn't know why, they still followed Lao Zhang's seniority.

"..."

Li Chuanxin looked at the smiling Lao Zhang, looking a little embarrassed.

But just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade, he heard Lu Zhengyi speak.

"Okay, then you go back and rest first, I'll have a meal before going back."

Li Chuanxin, who was still a little embarrassed at first, showed joy on his face and said eagerly, "Okay, shall I go and drive first?"

He didn't really want to persuade him just now. It didn't matter whether the others went or not. What mattered was that Director Lu could go.

"Let's go together."

Lu Zhengyi had nothing to bring, so he followed him empty-handed.

"Meow."

But at this moment, Ayong, who had been lying on the sofa next to him lazily, yelled and ran up to his shoulder.

"Director Li, do you mind if I bring one?"

Lu Zhengyi turned his head and glanced at A Yong, who was licking his paws over his shoulder.

"Don't mind, don't mind."

Li Chuanxin didn't mind, but he looked at the black cat in surprise.

Just now, he didn't even see how the cat jumped up. He only heard the cat meowing, and a fluffy black ball appeared on Lu Zhengyi's shoulders.

The two went downstairs one after the other.

It wasn't until their figures disappeared from sight that someone in the crowd asked in a low voice, "Assistant Director Zhang, why didn't we follow them just now?"

Zhang Yu glanced at Huang Yunli, who was asking in a low voice, and shook his head helplessly, "Look at Director Li's posture, he must have something serious and wants to ask Director Lu for help."

"This person is bringing things to the door and wants to treat guests to dinner."

"When there are more people, if the request he mentioned is too much, Director Lu will have to think twice before refusing, so we'd better not disturb him."

After hearing his explanation, some people in the crew understood and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in their hearts.

This is the old fritters.

Just now, we were good friends with each other. When we turned around, we were able to calm down and think about our stance.

"As expected of Assistant Director Zhang."

Compared with others who gave a thumbs up in their hearts, Huang Yunli immediately started flattering her, "This person is so sophisticated, I've learned it."

It's still very comfortable to be praised.

Assistant Director Zhang is smiling, but his chubby face in his early years has now lost weight due to a serious illness, and it is a little less greasy than before and a little more shrewd.

Although he smiled, he was examining the performance of several 'newcomers'.

Among the newcomers, forget about Assistant Wang.

He has worked with the crew several times and is relatively familiar with them, so there is nothing to observe.

But among the several actors, except for Huang Yunli, the other actors seemed a little unfamiliar with the crew.

Especially Zhou Ziyun, the male protagonist, seems to have been deliberately keeping a distance from other people because of his mental illness, and others have not taken the initiative to contact him.

'We have to find an opportunity to talk to Director Lu. '

Zhang Yu looked at the others with a smile, but he had other thoughts in his heart.

……

"Speak directly, Director Li."

As soon as he got in the car, seeing that Li Chuanxin was still trying to be polite, Lu Zhengyi put A Yong on his lap and asked directly, "We have actually cooperated before. If you want to ask me for help, It’s not a particularly troublesome matter, I can try to help.”

"..."

Li Chuanxin heard Lu Zhengyi say this as soon as he started the car, and he didn't react.

After a while, he replied with a sarcastic smile, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask you for advice. Is there anything you can say about making a horror movie?"

"Don't be angry yet. I know what I said is a bit excessive, as if I am robbing my job."

"But I really have no choice. Recently, several people have set up a stage to sing in this play. I am really interested, but I am not sure that I can make the film well, so I can only come to ask you for advice."

"angry?"

In the dim car, Lu Zhengyi turned his head blankly, "Why should I be angry?"
