Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 25 King Kong Barbie Clip

These days, I go out for a walk with Reba almost every night.

Reba was always bullied by Cheng Xi. Although she was very angry every night, she wanted to ask Cheng Xi's brother to go out for a walk during the day.

This is a sign of collapse.

Then in addition to attending classes and learning storyboard drawing these days, Cheng Xi also started to pick up fitness and music.

If you are not in good health, you really can’t do the job of a director.

Whether it is making a movie or training actors, a certain amount of physical strength is required.

I continue to learn composition because the theme song of "Wan Wan" is also on the agenda.

The overall editing of "Wan Wan" is almost done, and we are just waiting for the special effects to be completed, and then set a suitable date for the broadcast.

That day, Cheng Xi went to the gym again and started training with equipment and doing squats.

"Can you do this? A grown man is doing empty bar squats here." A crisp and sarcastic voice came from the side.

"You asked me if it's okay, you have some feelings for me. I advise you not to."

Cheng Xi didn't even look at who it was and just responded directly.

You don't need to look to know that this unique clip sound is from a girl I met at the gym a few days ago, Jin Xiaoluo.

This name is very suitable for her. In short, she is:
Oyukiko is a loli girl with glasses, twin ponytails, and a fitness lover. Oh, and she also has a clip-on voice.

Because Cheng Xi had just arrived at the gym and didn't know much about the equipment, he just followed the girl and trained next to her. Whatever she did, Cheng Xi did the same.

So Jin Xiaoluo thought he was a hooligan who only looked at yoga pants, and now she dislikes him very much.

After Jin Xiaoluo finished mocking, she started doing squats on her own and even added weights deliberately to provoke him.

Cheng Xi felt a pang of pain when he saw it. Those ponytails and that butt... uh... that small stature. He was really afraid that she would be crushed by the squat bar.

But seeing how easy it was for her to do it, Cheng Xi secretly said to himself:
This little loli is not easy to mess with, there is great energy contained in the waves.

Cheng Xi was almost done practicing, so he played table tennis for a while and prepared to go back to the dormitory.

Unexpectedly, Jin Xiaoluo also came out of the gym at this time.

Because the school is small and the gym is outside the school, Cheng Xi has to walk for a few minutes to get to school.

Jin Xiaoluo left the house faster than him, and ignored him, walking straight ahead.

When Jin Xiaoluo reached the school gate, she found Cheng Xi still following her. She stopped decisively and said in her clipped voice:
"What are you doing? Following me again, you stalker." As she said this, Jin Xiaoluo raised her fist.

"Uh, I didn't follow you. I just went my own way." Cheng Xi explained helplessly.

"I really wasn't spying on you before, please don't ruin my reputation."

As he spoke, Cheng Xi walked forward, swiped his campus card at the door and walked into the school.

Jin Xiaoluo took a look and saw that it was a classmate from her school.
That’s right, there are several gyms nearby, and many of the people there are students from Beijing Film Academy and nearby schools.

So he hurried over and asked:

"So you're from the same school, too. You look so young, how old are you?"

"How old are you?" Cheng Xi asked back.

"I'm a sophomore. Are you a freshman? Call me senior sister."

"I'm a junior, call me senior."

"Hmph, it's my senior brother, but also a pervert. I'm leaving now. Bye~ Don't see you tomorrow!"

After saying that, Jin Xiaoluo's twin ponytails and Xue Zi jumped out of sight.

Running really big
Uh. I mean the steps.

Cheng Xi wondered what was going on recently. He was always being mistaken for a pervert.

It seems that I still need to hide myself well. It would be meaningless if others see through me at a glance.

After returning to the dormitory, Cheng Xi picked up his toiletries and went to the bathhouse to take a shower.

When I came out, I saw Qin Shiyue and Bai Xue, so as southerners, we complained about the bathhouse together.

But there is no way, since I am here, I have to get used to it as soon as possible.

The dormitory was as lively as ever, and today's topic of discussion was surprisingly focused on movies.

"This "Old Boy" is so popular. In less than half a month, the number of clicks has exceeded 500 million. That's 500 million!" Li Zhao said exaggeratedly.

"Youth is like a rushing river, it goes away without a chance to say goodbye. All that's left is a numb me, without the passion I once had."

Wang Ge started singing while discussing.

Everyone saw Cheng Xi coming back and asked:
"Have you seen 'Old Boy'? It's the hottest show these days, bar none."

Of course Cheng Xi had watched it. Now Old Boy had become his competitor. "I saw it. It was pretty good."

Cheng Xi used to like the drama "Old Boy" very much.

"Oh, even Producer Cheng praised this film. It's not easy." Xu Zhenming replied.

“But we are half rivals now.”

Cheng Xi then brought up the matter of the gambling reward with his roommate.

When the roommates heard this, they became excited. They realized there was such a big news and quickly asked for details.

"No details, that's it." Cheng Xi was too lazy to talk about too many details of the cooperation.

"So when will your film be released?"

"Almost done. Everything will be ready in the next few days. Then I'll discuss with Youku about the start time."

Then several roommates started discussing the broadcast time.

"You have to wait until 'Old Boy' becomes popular. If you do it now, it's like an egg hitting a stone."

"If you ask me, it's just a mini-comedy. Maybe it can ride on the popularity of 'Old Boy' now, but once this wave of popularity dies down, no one will pay attention to 'Wan Wan' anymore."

"Cheng Xi, don't worry too much. It doesn't matter if we lose the bet reward. As long as the film we made can be broadcast, it will be a victory."

When Cheng Xi heard everyone's discussion, he knew that the brothers supported me in filming out of friendship, but they had zero confidence in the play itself.

No one is optimistic.

Even when they came to help out as extras, they had no idea what they were acting in.

I've also heard sporadic discussions among classmates recently, and they all feel that apart from a few jokes, the film is not really audio-visual art at all.

I guess my seniors think so too.

Cheng Xi also received a call from Yi Xiaoxing at this time:
"'Old Boy' should be able to secure 800 million hits a month. I wonder if it will break million."

Cheng Xi heard Yi Xiaoxing's worry. If it was 500 million, he might think that "Wanwan" could still compete.

If it's 10 million, I probably won't get the bet reward. I just hope that the number of views of "Wanwan" can be higher, and I can take some small advertisements to get back as much of the principal as possible.

Now both sides have used up their funds, and Youku's 25 has been almost spent on subsequent shooting, editing and special effects.

There is still 5 yuan left in the account to be used for publicity.

Don't underestimate 50,000 yuan. Without the promotion here, many people would not know about "Wan Wan". If it was broadcast on Tudou, many fans of Yi Xiaoxing might come to watch it.

As for Youku, it is much weaker in this aspect. After all, Bai Ke is just a voice actor and has limited fans.

I guess the official Youku side won’t give it much publicity.

"Don't think too much, director. I think next week is a good time to start the show. The film has been shot. Hiding is not a solution. We must have confidence."

Cheng Xi could only comfort Yi Xiaoxing and tell him his thoughts on the broadcast time.

"Okay, let's contact Manager Youkulu tomorrow and arrange it for next week. If you're not afraid, why should I be afraid? At worst, I can just come back and continue making my Beast videos."

"Hahahaha, yeah, what are we afraid of? This is our first show, and barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes."

At 8 o'clock in the evening, "I am your dad" sent another message, saying that they should go for a walk together.

While walking on the campus, Reba also mentioned the popularity of "Old Boy" and kept trying to comfort Cheng Xi.

"How about we go sit on the stone boat on Xiaoyue River?"

Reba was particularly gentle today and kept telling him jokes she had heard.

He even took the initiative to suggest going to Shifang and gently took Cheng Xi's hand.

Cheng Xi smiled. Xiaoyue River Stone Boat was now a secret code for the two of them. If they went there, they would have to do something bad.

He knew why Reba said this, and he was quite touched to see her looking a little overwhelmed for him.

So he said:

"It's okay, we've scheduled it to start next week."

"I have confidence, Reba."

"Well, I have confidence in you too." Reba replied.

"I believe I can fix your ankle."

"."

"Bad guy."

Cheng Xi smiled, touched Reba's head, gently took her hand, and walked towards Xiaoyue River.
