HuaYu: The most muscular director in history!

The evening of July 8.

Xiang Nan and his three companions arrived at the Bund in Shanghai and checked into the presidential suite they had booked in advance.

"Eee-ha—"

"Bang!"

As soon as they entered the room, Yifei pounced on the bed, while Liu's mother behind her pouted, a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"Change your shoes first, then don't change your pajamas. Wait until I've checked everything."

"Oh!" Yifei's beautiful legs had already drifted off to sleep, and she no longer cared about whether she was wearing pajamas or not.

Xiang Nan's decision to give her ten days off might not be without the reason that she could take the opportunity to relax, since she not only had to rush to meet the filming schedule during the day, but also had a singing teacher arranged for her by Xiang Nan at night.

Seeing that her daughter was sticking out her big butt and not moving at all, Liu's mother shook her head, turned around and started taking things out of her suitcase.

"Xiang Nan is such a meticulous child!" As she spoke, Liu's mother took out two items.

An RF detector shaped like a car key, and a red light pen.

She turned on the RF detector and began to examine it carefully with a red light pen.

"Table lamp, wardrobe, TV wall, that's where the kid said it was again."

She searched for a full half hour before finally letting out a sigh of relief and sitting on the bed.

"Phew~"

"Phew~"

Behind her came the soft snoring of her daughter. Liu's mother sighed softly, turned around and pulled the blanket on the bed, wrapping her daughter up tightly.

"My dear, you've worked so hard. Mom is not very capable, so I can only do some insignificant little things for you."

She gently patted her daughter's back, as if she could see her daughter dancing on stage in a floral dress when she was little.

My daughter back then was much more vain than she is now.

"Smack smack!"

"Hehehe...maybe I was dreaming about food."

"Beep beep beep..."

The phone rang, and Liu's mother frowned, searching for a while before realizing it was her own phone.

Pick it up and take a look—

Aunt Liu, may I come to the lobby on the first floor for a moment?

"Xiang Nan..."

……

Ten minutes later, in the coffee shop on the first floor.

Xiang Nan, wearing sunglasses, sat by the window. He stood up after seeing Liu's mother.

"Sit down, Xiao Nan, no need to be so polite."

The two took their seats.

Xiang Nan didn't waste any time. He pushed a cup of black tea in front of Liu's mother and then got straight to the point: "Aunt Liu, how is Qianqian's singing practice going?"

"Um……"

Liu's mother picked up her black tea, took a sip, and hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"It's... alright?"

Seeing Liu's mother's expression, Xiang Nan understood. He licked his lips and brought up another matter: "After Yi Fei finishes filming, there will be more than a month of album production. It's very rushed, so you need to arrange her schedule in advance and try to get her fewer endorsements."

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother immediately rolled her eyes.

Endorsements? Isn't her schedule already packed with "Chinese Paladin" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes"?

My daughter has been a celebrity for so long, but the only endorsements she gets are skin creams, shampoos, and casual wear. She even had a "Perfect World" endorsement in May, but it fell through because of "Chinese Paladin".

"Why don't you just decide for yourself?" Liu's mother put down her cup, crossed her arms, and turned to look out the window with a displeased expression. "After all, what you say is much better than what I, as a mother, have said, and you've planned your path much better than I have."

"Look at what you're saying," Xiang Nan said gently. "You're Yifei's mother. Who in the world is closer to her than you? Besides, you're her manager, her life's navigator. You're her strongest support!"

It was a very honest compliment, but after it was said, Liu's mother's expression relaxed a lot.

"Then send me your schedule."

Xiang Nan smirked, "It's already prepared for you."

The two chatted for a few more minutes about their upcoming plans before ending their conversation for the evening.

Nothing more was said that night...

The next day, at 11 a.m., Yifei finally woke up.

I went to the food street with Da Mutou at noon and checked it out. In the afternoon, I went back to my room for a nap.

It wasn't until 7 p.m. that Xing Nanfei's film crew came to the door, and Xiang Nan finally woke up Yi Fei and started working.

The group arrived at the North Bund riverside in a grand procession.

Thanks to prior communication and arrangements, a long garden road in Binjiang was closed off at this time.

Several temporary tents had been set up in the garden square, and the two lead actors were currently getting their makeup done inside.

Half an hour later, Xiang Nan was the first to step out of the tent.

He was wearing a burgundy suit jacket and red leather pants.

He still had short hair, wore sunglasses, and had some sparkly rings on his hands.

"Mr. Xiang."

"Director Li."

A bespectacled man appeared before them; he was Li Cai, Xing Nanfei's newly signed director and action choreographer.

He was prepared as an all-rounder for "Ryan Wick", but he was a bit short of money, so he took on the job of directing Xiang Nan's music video.

What are your thoughts on the camera lens?

"Just do whatever you think is best."

Two makeup artists were still preparing the collar for Xiang Nan, while Xiang Nan squatted down slightly and opened his arms to let them do it.

"Capture the futuristic neon lights of Shanghai, but emphasize the fast pace and the feeling of a big city. You can lower the exposure, set the frame rate to 30fps, and slowly push and pull the camera."

Li Cai's eyelids twitched.

Sure enough, this young man does have some directing skills.

So, the assistant director of "Ryan Wick" really did have the job of an assistant director?

When Xiang Nan approached him, he wanted to do the work of two people, serving as both action choreographer and assistant director.

However, the assistant director's role is special, and even if he has to take on two roles, the executive director is the most suitable for him.

Therefore, he was somewhat worried that Xiang Nan would imitate the movie "Looking for a Gun," using himself in the film but releasing it under Xiang Nan's name.

"Oh dear—this dress is awful!"

Hearing Yifei's soft, childlike voice behind him, Xiang Nan subconsciously turned around, then froze on the spot.

Under the dazzling neon lights, Yifei stomped her little feet and crawled out of the tent.

She wore a plain white dress, red high heels, and ruby ​​earrings. Her makeup was the most stunning feature.

The character in the script is a mature and beautiful woman, so she wore heavy makeup for once, which is quite unusual for her.

It wasn't heavy makeup in the literal sense, but rather a striking, dramatic look: it accentuated her eyelids and eyelashes, and she wore a blood-red lipstick that was sure to seduce men. Against her stunningly fair skin, a beautiful woman with red lips, white teeth, and captivating charm was born.

"Hey! Staring blankly? You big blockhead, you idiot!"

"Huh!" Xiang Nan snapped out of his daze and realized that Yi Fei had already come to stand in front of him.

She crossed her arms, a slight smile playing on her lips, and tilted her head slightly to look up at him. The meaning in her expression was all too clear: "Aren't you amazed by my beauty?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Xiang Nan coughed a few times, waved to dismiss the staff who were watching the show, and then led Yi Fei to the Huangpu River.

You look beautiful today!

Yifei leaned against the railing, raised her hand to smooth her long hair behind her ear, and turned her head with a smile: "Thank you, it's an honor for me to be praised as beautiful by the Southern King."

Xiang Nan rolled his eyes and raised his hand to pinch her nose, but she dodged it in disgust.

"Don't!"

"What, worried about ruining your makeup?"

"No." Yifei crossed her arms and turned around, looking at the Lujiazui urban cluster across the street. "I just naturally hate this action. I'd rather have my mom do it, but every time you do it, I feel a little annoyed."

"Shall I choose another one?" Before she could react, Xiang Nan pointed a finger at her brow, causing Yi Fei to lean back.

"Ouch!" She pouted and slapped him across the face!

"Snap—"

"Mr. Xiang! Come over here and get ready for filming!"

Just then, a call came from afar. Yifei slapped him on the shoulder and then turned and ran away.

After running two steps, he turned back suspiciously, his expression as if to say: Why don't you chase after me?

"Ouch—that hurts! You're done for, Liu Yifei!"

"Ahhh, help me—"

……

At 8:00 AM sharp, filming began on time.

On the side of the road where cars were constantly flowing, Xiang Nan stood at the intersection, with three cameras circling around him.

Yifei, who was watching the scene from a distance, twitched her eyebrows and gave a strange look.

The last time we filmed the "Happy Worship" music video, it was okay; the dancing was real dancing, and there was music. This time...

On the side of the road, Xiang Nan stood with his arms outstretched and eyes closed, sometimes whistling a few lines, and sometimes singing passionately to the camera with his fists clenched.

"Pfft..."

Yifei couldn't help but laugh out loud, then paused and covered her mouth.

Looking around, I realized that no one was laughing.

They are so professional!

Soon, the shot ended, and one camera was freed up to switch to Yifei's position.

"Bring the blower over here!"

"Clear the area, and position the lighting 45 degrees to the left front of the subject, shooting from a 60-degree downward angle!"

The entire production team was quite professional, and Yifei was also a professional actress.

First, we cooperated with the director to fix the camera position, and then the actual shooting began with posing.

"It's getting colder, Yifei, it's getting colder."

cold?

How can it be so cold on such a hot day!

Yifei thought to herself, "I've already done so many takes, isn't it right?"

At this moment, Li Cai, who was watching the scene from the side, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Try to think about it, what if President Xiang and Huang Shengyi had an affair..."

Yifei glared at him and puffed out her cheeks.

"He dares!!!"
