Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 209 219 [An old cow eats young grass, do you feel anything? ]

Following Zhang Aijia's shout of "Action", Li Yishu walked upstairs with flowers in her hands, looking shy and timid, and a smile on her face.

Zhang Aijia followed closely behind with a camera, and when they arrived at the door of the room on the third floor, she pointed the camera at Li Yishu's face...

This plot is quite simple. The hero just brings flowers to thank the heroine, and then they exchange a few words.

"Crack!"

Zhang Aijia turned off the camera and smiled, "This segment was filmed very well."

Li Yishu asked, "Is everything ok? Do you want another one?"

"No, it's fine, no need for another one."

Sylvia Chang shook her head. In her opinion, this scene was not very important and it didn't matter whether it was re-shot or not.

Even though it looks like Lee Yi-su is a little nervous from the camera, it's understandable that he needs to be a little nervous at this time considering the role he plays.

Then Zhang Aijia looked at Qingxia: "Qingxia, when you put on your stockings later, you have to be slow, sit here, and then roll them up little by little..."

"Ok."

"Director Li, just stand here and act like you want to see it but are afraid of being discovered..."

The director and photographer of this scene were both Sylvia Chang. Li Yishu and Qingxia had to do whatever she said, so after the other party explained the next scene, they continued filming.

Time passed by little by little, and after several NGs, this simple scene was completely finished, but the next step was the physical combat scene.

"Director Li, when you hesitate before taking off your pants, be decisive. Qingxia, you have to pretend that you want to see but don't dare to..."

Qingxia nodded with a slight blush on her face. It was true that she was a veteran actress, but this was her first time to act in a play like this.

Li Yishu touched her nose and felt a little embarrassed. After all, there were outsiders in front of the camera, so she felt a little ashamed.

Zhang Aijia did not give the two time to adjust. After asking them to change into a new set of clothes, she took out a coal ball, put a little dust on it and smeared it on Li Yishu's face, and then put a lot of coal dust on the clean clothes.

This scene is about the hero helping the heroine to get honeycomb coal from the coal room downstairs, getting covered in black ash, and then the heroine lets him take a bath at home~~
"Action!"

Following the sound of Zhang Aijia starting the machine.

The heroine "Xia Jie" looked at "Li Shu" whose face was covered in dust and whose clothes were also covered in black dust. She burst out laughing at his funny appearance, then stood up and said, "You can't go home like this. Take off your clothes. I'll run the bath water for you and help you wash your clothes."

At this time, Sylvia Chang carried the camera and filmed Qingxia who walked into the bathroom from behind Li Yishu.

As Li Yishu walked, the camera also moved slowly. In the bathroom, Qingxia was bending down to turn on the faucet. In the sunlight outside the window, her back looked so charming in her ticket seller's work clothes.

At Zhang Aijia's reminder, Li Yishu hesitated and began to take off her shirt at the bathroom door...

“Do you always shower with your pants on?”

Qingxia saw that he had only taken off his shirt, walked over with a smile, took the clothes from his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't peek, you wash it yourself."

Having said that, she turned around, closed the door and walked out, but left a gap.

"Ka! Director Li, I'll film you taking off your pants, and then you can put them on and take them off again after I leave."

The next scene is that Qingxia was about to push the door open with a towel in her hand, when she saw Li Yishu taking off her pants through the crack in the door. Inexplicably, she did not choose to push the door open, but stood at the door and peeked inside through the crack.

After the filming was finished, Sylvia Chang walked into the bathroom again and filmed Li Yishu walking into the bathtub.

"Qingxia, it's your turn."

Zhang Aijia turned her head and looked at Qingxia who was standing at the door and peeking.

"I..." Qingxia's face flushed. She didn't expect that her sneak peek was discovered by Sylvia Chang.

"Go next door by yourself, and then come over with a big towel."

Zhang Aijia knew that it would be difficult to take off her clothes here, so she asked her to go to the next room. After taking off her clothes, she came in with a large bath towel.

After a moment, Li Yishu saw Qingxia holding up a large bath towel, covering most of her body, revealing two hands tightly grasping the bath towel, and a pair of smooth and white calves underneath.

"start."

At Zhang Aijia's command, Li Yishu walked out of the bathtub. When he turned his back to the past, Qingxia wrapped a large bath towel around his back.

Soon, the round ball hit the broad back. The soft touch made Li Yishu's heart beat faster.

Time passes little by little.

I spent a whole afternoon shooting but still couldn't finish it because there were always so many problems.

Fortunately, most of the foreplay has been filmed, and now only some passionate scenes are left.

Zhang Aijia was not in a hurry. She watched the film while shooting in the afternoon. Don't be too happy.

Mature and immature, mature woman and young boy.

When Zhang Aijia only read the script before, she didn’t realize it, but it was not until she personally participated in the filming that she realized how important it was to add these scenes.

The script is set in Taiwan in the 50s. At that time, under the high pressure of the bald brother, the society was relatively repressive. When "Xia Jie", a woman living alone, met a young handsome boy, she would inevitably want to release some...

At around five or six in the evening, the crew members brought some packed lunch boxes.

In the living room of the room, Qingxia and Li Yishu both lowered their heads and ate in silence.

Zhang Aijia looked at the two of them, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Director Li, I didn't realize you have such a good figure and abdominal muscles. Did you exercise deliberately?"

"Yeah, I usually exercise."

Li Yishu nodded and said, "If you don't exercise after filming so intensively every day, won't you age prematurely?"

"That's right, it looks great on camera."

Zhang Aijia smiled and said, "How about adding a scene tomorrow and letting Qingxia touch your abdominal muscles?"

"Cough cough!"

Hearing this, Qingxia was so excited that she couldn't even swallow a mouthful of rice and started coughing because of choking.

"Haha, just kidding."

Zhang Aijia said with a smile: "Today's filming is pretty good. At this rate, we'll probably be done tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The prerequisite is that both of you must shoot seriously and don't..."

"Jingle Bell!"

At this moment, Li Yishu's cell phone suddenly rang. He thought it was Huo Wenxi, but when he picked it up, he saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After answering the call in confusion, he heard poor Mandarin from the other end of the phone.

"Director Li, I'm Li Jiaxin."

"Oh, it's you."

Li Yishu asked in surprise, "What's wrong? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Jiaxin on the other end of the phone stammered, "Director Li, I'm in Taipei now. I know you're filming here, so I wanted to ask if you have time tonight..."

Treat me to a meal? Li Yishu looked strange. He was not a rookie. Li Jiaxin came all the way from Hong Kong to Taipei to treat him to a meal. She must want to eat him.

Li Yishu was already a little angry because he was filming with Qingxia in the afternoon. Now Li Jiaxin came to send him off from thousands of miles away. He is not Liu Xiahui, so there is nothing to say and he just has to keep the appointment.

"Okay, where do we eat?"

"Jin Penglai Restaurant. Director Li probably hasn't been there. It's a very famous old restaurant in Taipei. I've been there a few times with the crew before, and the food is pretty good."

"Okay, I'll go over now."

"Okay Director Li."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yishu looked up and said, "Director Zhang, I have something to do. A friend invited me to dinner, so I'll stop shooting here for today."

Zhang Aijia smiled and said, "It's okay, Director Li, go ahead and get busy."

After he left, Zhang Aijia suddenly looked at Qingxia: "How is it? How does it feel like an old cow eating young grass?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qingxia blushed and said, "Who is old? I'm not even 40, I'm not old. Besides, it's not certain who will eat whom."

Zhang Aijia said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Director Li, this tender grass will eat you."

Hearing this, Qingxia rolled her eyes, ignored her and continued eating.

Zhang Aijia and Qingxia have a good relationship in private. In addition, she was the one who filmed and witnessed the whole scene today, so her feelings for them naturally rose a lot. At this moment, she also made a big joke: "Tell me honestly, do you feel anything?"

Qingxia rolled her eyes.

"Look at you, you definitely have it."

Zhang Aijia said with a sly smile: "If it were me who played the role, I would definitely not be as hesitant as you are. And Director Li is the same. He is a grown man, but he still hesitates when filming a scene."

"You are talking without any pain in your waist."

Qingxia rolled her eyes at her and said, "This is the first time for Director Li and I to shoot a scene like this. How can it not be awkward?"

"Then you have to give it a try. Didn't you say you wanted to make a film that would win awards and become your acting masterpiece?"

Zhang Aijia paused and continued, "I think The Reader is very good. Moreover, it is directed and acted by Director Li. It will not be a big problem for it to be nominated for the European Film Festival. Maybe you can even win the Best Actress award."

The reason why she said so much was actually to allow Qingxia to relax a little and not be so tense during the next filming.

In fact, in this kind of scene, as long as Qingxia relaxes, Li Yishu will naturally be able to relax as well.

As the director of this scene, Sylvia Chang must have tried to make the shots as beautiful and romantic as possible, gorgeous but not lascivious, charming but not lewd.

But their performance in the afternoon was too bad. She planned to talk to Director Li alone later, but now she should convince Qingxia first.

night.

Taipei Golden Penglai Restaurant.

In the private room, the food was already on the table. Li Jiaxin warmly invited Li Yishu to sit down: "Director Li, this Jin Penglai Restaurant is a famous old restaurant in Taipei, especially their Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Braised Pork, the taste is absolutely amazing."

Li Yishu looked at the table full of dishes and said with a smile, "Then I must taste them carefully."

"Hmm, have a taste."

Li Jiaxin enthusiastically picked up the soup spoon and scooped a spoonful of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall into the bowl.

Li Yishu took it and tasted it. It tasted really good. She couldn't help but praise it, "Mm, not bad. It tastes different from the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall I had before."

"Try this braised pork, it's also good."

Li Jiaxin smiled sweetly and said, "Director Li, have you ever tried Hong Kong's braised pork?"

"There is braised pork in Hong Kong?" Li Yishu was surprised. Hong Kong is mainly Cantonese cuisine, and braised pork doesn't seem to be very popular in Cantonese cuisine.

"Of course, if you want to say the best braised pork, it has to be the braised pork from Hong Kong. I've eaten the braised pork from the mainland and Taiwan, and I feel that they are not as delicious as the one from Hong Kong."

Li Jiaxin looked at Li Yishu charmingly: "Director Li, you should have eaten the mainland braised pork. You also tried the braised pork from Taiwan today. Are you interested in the Hong Kong-style braised pork?"

Li Yishu raised his eyebrows. Are they really talking about braised pork?

Why does it sound like using meat to describe people?

Li Jiaxin did not continue to talk about the meat issue. She smiled and held the wine glass and said, "Director Li, I toast you a glass."

"Okay!" Li Yishu smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The most beautiful Hong Kong sister accompanies guests with drinks and meals. I believe that anyone can get great satisfaction both visually and psychologically.

After eating and drinking for a while, Li Jiaxin finally asked about the main purpose of her visit to Taiwan: "Director Li, I saw in the Hong Kong newspaper that you are going to cooperate with Cheng Long on a new movie, and the investment budget of the film is as high as hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. This is not going to be a super production!"

Li Yishu shook her head: "With a budget of less than 20 million US dollars, it is not a super production."

"This is a huge production in Hong Kong. Over the years, only Jackie Chan has made two Hong Kong films with budgets of over 100 million yuan."

While Li Jiaxin was talking, she also did not forget to compliment him: "Of course, Director Li, you made a movie in the United States, and the global box office was 400 million US dollars. This mere 20 million US dollars is definitely not high for you..."

After a round of flattery, Li Jiaxin noticed that Li Yishu seemed to be in a good mood, and quickly followed up with, "Director Li, have you chosen the heroine for this movie?"

"Except for the male lead Cheng Long, the other roles have not yet been selected."

Secretary Li Yixi remembered that the heroine of the original version of "Rumble in the Bronx" was Anita Mui, and there was also a supporting actress who looked a bit like Cherie Chung.

He didn't remember her name, but he remembered that she seemed to have a good figure and a mixed-race look. She had appeared in many Hong Kong films.

"Director Li, what do you think of me?" Li Jiaxin stared at Li Yishu with fiery eyes. She was so eager to star in a movie directed by Li Yishu.

The other party's first commercial martial arts film "Sword Rain", not only promoted Gong Li from the queen of art films to the queen of commercial films, but also made the kung fu newcomer Zhao Wenzhuo famous.

You should know that Zhao Wenzhuo is not only very popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also has many fans in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other regions.

It was precisely because of his popularity that Xu Ke invited him to play the leading role in two movies in a row.

Cheng Long's influence in East Asia and Southeast Asia is much greater than that of Zhao Wenzhuo. Now with the support of the top Chinese director Li Yishu, the investment budget of the film is as high as hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars!
If nothing unexpected happens, even if this movie cannot match the box office of "Sword Rain", it will definitely not be too far behind.

If she could play the female lead, Li Jiaxin would gain both fame and fortune.

"You want to act?"

"Yeah, I've wanted to work with Director Li for a long time!"

Li Yishu looked at the beautiful Li Jiaxin and said playfully, "You can consider it."

Li Jiaxin's eyes flickered: "Director Li, if I perform better, can I get this opportunity?"

"Ahem, Ms. Li, this has nothing to do with how good the performance is. It mainly depends on the acting skills."

Li Yishu had seen the other party's thoughts too many times in her previous life, but there shouldn't be any need for Li Jiaxin to be like this just for a role, right?
It should be simply because of my own greed.
