Huayu: When the director changed his major

"Each captain has one priority choice, starting with Captain Yang Mi, who received the most votes."

"Accordingly, each selected team member has one and only one right to refuse."

"Once you've made your selection, you can't change it. Now, give us 10 minutes to think about it."

After hearing the director announce the rule, the four captains couldn't help but look at the guests of their choice.

First of all, of course, you need to have a high level of skills, winning is the key.

The second is to be famous and bring some attention to yourself.

It would be nice if I could be named after the loss.

After all, this is a variety show. Except for a few people, everyone comes here with the purpose of becoming famous.

So some team leaders immediately approached their teammates to make suggestions, and some teammates took the initiative to approach their captains and ask to join the team.

Many people directly found Yang Mi, hoping to join the team.

But Yang Mi was quick-witted and came to Cheng Xi immediately:
"I'll choose you later, you can't refuse me!"

"Why can't I refuse you?"

Cheng Xi said a little unhappily.

"Can't you be gentle with me?"

"You're not my woman."

"."

"Junior brother, my good junior brother, Director Cheng, my great Director Cheng, do you still remember that I promoted "Never Expected" for you on Weibo?!"

"I wrote 'Love Offering' for you."

"Then do you remember me supporting you in your audition for 'The Beginning'?"

"I treated you to a meal in the school cafeteria!"

It would have been fine if Cheng Xi hadn't said it, but when he said it, Yang Mi was almost infuriated.

"Cheng Xi, you ungrateful bastard! A meal in the cafeteria costs only a few dollars, and you, such a big boss, still have the nerve to say that."

"Besides, I'm your legitimate senior sister, isn't it only natural that you treat me to a meal?"

Cheng Xi had actually agreed in his heart a long time ago.

It's just to tease Yang Mi.

"Then say something nice!"

"Cheng Xi, you."

Yang Mi was furious at first, then her expression suddenly changed, and she used her acting skills:

"My great Director Cheng, my good Mr. Cheng, my"

"Okay, stop it, you win."

Yang Mi smiled and made a "yeah" gesture to the camera.

"That's right! So, who do you think we should choose from the remaining three players?"

"Well, the two of us are already strong enough. Choosing any more powerful players would be a bit excessive. We can just pick up a few when the time comes!"

There were many people nearby who wanted to wait for Yang Mi to finish speaking so that they could persuade Cheng Xi.

But unexpectedly, the one who had just said he wanted to refuse was won over by Yang Mi after saying a few nice words.

Director Cheng is really too insatiable.

There's nothing we can do about it. It's because they are close to the water that they get the moon first.

So I had no choice but to ask others.

Some guests who wanted to team up with Cheng Xi saw that they had already agreed to join Yang Mi's team.

So they came to Yang Mi and said:

"Sister Mi, choose me later! I, Arthur, am awesome at spinning!"

"Sister Mi, choose me. I'm a 54K king nurse, with plenty of milk!"

"Sister Mi."

Even Meng Ziyi, Nazha and baby came to Yang Mi to plead for her.

Looking at them chattering away, Cheng Xi shook his head and simply ignored them.

Ten pleasant and lively minutes passed quickly.

Although it took a lot of time to select people due to various difficulties, the list was finally finalized.

[Team Yang Mi - Yang Mi, Cheng Xi, Meng Ziyi, Nazha, Qiao Shan.

Team Hu Xia - Hu Xia, baby, Zhang Dada, He Sui, and Lin Gengxin.

Team Shen Teng - Shen Teng, Lai Meiyan, Jin Xiaoluo, Zhou Shen, and Xu Weizhou.

Xue Ming Team - Xue Ming, Ke Jie, Jiang Minhui, Lim Yoona, Ma Di.

Cheng Xi looked at everyone's configuration and found it to be balanced.

It’s usually 2 men and 3 women, or 3 men and 2 women.

This team game should be playable.

After selecting the players, it’s time to start the first warm-up match.

Then there was another draw, and Yang Mi directly drew Hu Xia's team as the first group to compete.

The remaining two teams naturally formed the second group.

Yang Mi: "As for Hu Xia, I'm quite familiar with him. I've played duo with him several times before. His Zhuge Liang and Marco Polo are quite powerful. We can just ban these two heroes later."

Meng Ziyi also actively offered suggestions. She was very excited that Senior Sister Yang Mi chose her and Senior Brother Cheng Xi to be in the same group.

"Sister, thank you for choosing me. I'll do whatever you say. From what I've seen of their team, the best player is Hu Xia. If we can control him well, we should be fine!"

Nazha and Qiao Shan were just clapping their hands on the side.

Basically no comments were expressed.

Yang Mi: "My great Director Cheng, what do you think? You are a member of our team now, so please express your opinions more."

When Cheng Xi was called, he began to think.

"Hu Xia is a veteran player. You can't ban all the heroes in his hero pool. He just played three heroes in the solo match and they were all good."

"Why not just ban Zhang Dada and Hou Yi? Even though he's bad, I don't think he'll be able to play well after they ban him."

When everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement.

Yang Mi even laughed out loud:

"Cheng Xi, you're really vicious! No wonder you can be the big boss! Humph, just pin Zhang Dada to death, why are you talking so much!"

"anything else?"

"Forget about the others. Let's just give everyone some gaming experience and just banban for fun. It's just a warm-up match after all."

"No problem, then it's up to you. As for the positions, I'll be mid, you'll be jungle, Qiao Shan will be top, Meng Ziyi will be ADC, and Nazha will be support. Is that okay with everyone?"

Not only was Cheng Xi discussing the ban selection, but the Hu Xia group next door was also having a heated discussion.

It's quite funny to see Zhang Dada spitting everywhere.

I don’t quite understand why Hu Xia chose him as the third pick.

But after all, he is a diamond player, and considering his rank, he should be a little better than the average person.

Everyone nodded after listening to Yang Mi's arrangements.

Only Meng Ziyi was a little nervous:
"Can Nazar and I play bottom lane?"

"No problem. I see you usually play Yu Ji, so just pick this hero and hold the bottom lane steady."

Cheng Xi saw that Yang Mi arranged everything in no time.

I have to admire that Yang Mi is indeed a talented general.

No wonder the company is thriving.

On the other hand, Hu Xia's opinions are very inconsistent.

He Sui and Lin Gengxin are fine, but Angelababy and Zhang Dada each have their own ideas.

Hu Xia was quite famous before, but now his status is definitely not as high as that of Angelababy.

With Huang Xiaoming behind her, it was indeed a bit hard to control her.

Although this is a gaming variety show, external factors will definitely be involved.

After listening to the two people's suggestions, Hu Xia fell silent.

Because he just caught a glimpse of Yang Mi's team, and they had already selected their players and maintained consistency.

This makes me look like a stupid captain.

Finally, he simply said in the captain's tone:

"Baby, Zhang Dada, the game is about to start. If we continue discussing it, there will be no result."

"I think this is a warm-up match, so just follow my instructions and see how it goes." "Baby, you play mid, Zhang Dada, you're still the marksman, He Sui, you're the support, and Lin Gengxin, you're the top."

After hearing what Hu Xia said, the other two did not struggle and accepted the arrangement.

The director saw that the time was up and quickly asked everyone to take their seats.

The bp phase of the game began.

Don’t say anything, when everyone is seated according to their seats.

When holding a unified mobile phone in hand and putting on headphones to start communicating bp.

Especially when you look up and see your opponent sitting neatly opposite you.

The competitive feeling came up all of a sudden.

Nazha: "Brother, what should I do? They banned my nanny!"

Meng Ziyi: "Fortunately, my Yu Ji was not banned"

Meng Ziyi is the only one in the bottom lane who plays better, or rather, plays a little bit more vulgarly.

Cheng Xi: "It's okay, then you choose Yao Mei, we'll take it first, and then we can release it!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Cheng Xi finished speaking, Yaomei was also banned.

The opponent is going to kill us all.

Actually targeting the spokesperson!
Can't stand it!
"Quick, ban their Hou Yi."

In the end, Nazha had no choice but to choose Daji as her support.

Apart from the two that were banned, this is the only one she is slightly better at.

As for
Whether Daji can be used as an assist is no longer a consideration.

After the heroes were selected, Yang Mi, as the team leader, encouraged everyone:
"Winning or losing doesn't matter, as long as you play with style!"

"Right, go go go~"

After 20 minutes of fierce battle, the game finally came to a conclusion.

Although Nazha and Meng Ziyi were beaten badly in the bottom lane, Cheng Xi's team still won their first victory.

"Yeah~"

Everyone stood up and clapped each other.

Winning together as teammates can really bring everyone closer together.

Cheng Xi is the jungler, sitting between Qiao Shan and Yang Mi.

Yang Mi was very excited after the performance, which showed that her leadership ability was still good.

In fact, on paper, the three girls here are weaker than Hu Xia's group.

You know, the last and second to last are both on Yang Mi's team.

But Qiao Shan’s story is a bit exaggerated.

So excited that she even forgot she was on the stage and hugged Cheng Xi.

Fortunately, they separated as soon as they touched.

However, this scene was also faithfully recorded by the camera.

"Win is win, don't take advantage of me."

"Tsk, Cheng Xi, whoever takes advantage of whom, are you a man?

Everyone heard the last part of the sentence "Are you a man?" clearly, and for a moment the five members of Yang Mi's team burst into laughter.

Compared to Hu Xia's team, they lost the game and just sat there looking at the screen.

Only Zhang Dada kept talking.

This shows the importance of unity.

In the second group of competition, the athletes won.

The three athletes have strong execution ability. Although it is their first time playing, their cooperation is obviously better than the other three teams.

It seems that this team is currently the No. 1 in strength.

After the warm-up match, today's daytime recording is almost over.

In the evening, everyone analyzes today's game.

A team currently has a coach and three passerby kings for guidance and management.

Since we formed a team, everyone's living place also changed.

The production team specially rented two nearby townhouses for the teams to train.

We will only go to the recording site together when we are playing games.

At this time, you can shoot more materials for editing.

In this way, the three-day May Day holiday passed quickly.

In addition to their own training, each of them also arranged friendly matches with three different teams.

Some people make rapid progress with professional training.

Some people are lazy and remain stagnant.

The camera recorded everything.

During these three days, the movie box office landscape has quietly changed.

Thanks to its good reputation, "Duds" still maintains a daily box office of nearly 8000 million.

On the third day, there was even a reversal of trend.

The total box office has now reached 2.5 million.

Hollywood blockbusters "Fast and Furious 7" and "Avengers: Endgame" continued to lead the May Day holiday, with box office revenue slowly declining.

Jackie Chan's "Skiptrace" has seen its box office cut from 7000 million on the first day to 3500 million.

Fan Binbin's "Everything Grows" was also cut in half to below 1000 million.

This time, Fan Binbin has achieved three consecutive flops in the film industry.

What’s even more terrifying is that there are two heavyweights coming up.

"Cheng Xi, am I really not suitable for filming?"

"No, it's just that you only look at the cast and the star status. You're too superstitious about that. The most important thing for a movie is the market, followed by the script."

"Is there no market for the Imperial Master? Isn't Li Yu's script good enough?"

"Marketing means respecting the audience and filming what they like to watch, rather than being obsessed with one's own expression and narrative. A good script does not guarantee a good market. If you look at my scripts, they all explore other themes while ensuring that they will please the audience."

"Of course, I'm not against self-expression, but that's the business of art films. It's probably better to learn to walk before running."

This is also a common problem among many award-winning directors.

After winning the award, I knew the judges' needs and expressed myself, but forgot the audience's needs.

The reason why later directors such as Chen Sicheng can still have box office success is not because their films can really compare with some classics.

Instead, it captures the audience's love for watching the show, while also keeping the story strong.

"Look at these two Hollywood blockbusters. I can say the plots are completely rubbish and clichéd, but they just have a market. There's nothing you can do about it. If you want box office revenue, ask the audience."

After Cheng Xi and Fan Binbin finished chatting.

I also went to Douban and other major platforms to see the audience's reviews of "Duds Get Water".

Douban score continues to rise.

The following is also full of various analyses.

Those who like talented actors are analyzing the performances of Aruna and Ren Suxi.

Those who like metaphorical interpretation are all analyzing the true meaning of the film.

Those who like to nitpick will analyze the classic lines in the script.

Anyway, audiences with all kinds of needs can find what they need.

That's the success of this movie.

After all, many people are unwilling to watch the original work, which is a three-no movie.

But now, with the endorsement of Zuibai Entertainment and Cheng Xi, many people are willing to go to the cinema and pay.

Since you have entered and spent money, you will not leave immediately if you start to feel dissatisfied.

But I believe that anyone who has watched this movie in its entirety will not give it a bad review.

While Cheng Xi was reading these comments, Ma Jinghong of Zuibai Games called him:
"Boss, the Penguin League of Legends game department has officially sued us for copyright infringement!"

Wow, this is just my first day at work.

He couldn't wait to sue us.

It’s fast enough too.

"Okay, I get it. Just do it. I fully support you!" (End of this chapter)
