The Villain in the World of Women

Mei Mei, who was attracted by the commotion here, looked at the woman in confusion and asked in wonder, "Why is she here?"

"Director Gao?" Xie Qingliu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's your background?"

"A new Southern director." Mei Mei said with a strange look on her face, "He independently shot a feature film and participated in the Liancheng Youth Film Festival, and won the Best Shot. However, he was criticized by the famous director A Wei for being too radical. His stance is problematic, but he has many admirers."

"Is there a problem with your stance?" Xie Qingliu asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

"Qingliu, there are roughly two factions among Chinese directors nowadays, the Southern School and the Northern School!" Mei Mei simply started from the basics.

The Southern School is accustomed to photographing the local appearance of China, which is the inherent impression of China by most foreigners. Simply put, it is the rural image that has developed step by step in China over the years.

The Northern School likes to photograph various aspects of human nature and humanities, and likes to find inspiration from life.

However, this is just a general style, not all of them are like this. But there are some outliers, trendsetters who balance plot and business, that is, masters who have their own style and are accepted by the public.

Director Gao in front of us belongs to another category. He calls himself a public intellectual and likes to exaggerate China's shortcomings and ignore the progress China has made in recent years. In this way, he resonates with many people who fawn on foreigners.

Simply put, people born in the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s grew up in this environment, and the idea that foreign countries are good, foreign countries are strong, foreign countries are advanced, and anything imported is good is a very common idea.

"I don't know much about this, so I asked my mother what's going on with this kind of group." Mei Mei frowned and said, "She told me that you can never wake up people who live in the past. This is the era of young people."

"So do you understand?" Xie Qingliu asked in silence.

"I don't really understand." Mei Mei replied awkwardly: "But I don't like Director Gao very much. Many of her remarks are weird. But she is indeed very talented. Many of my camera techniques are learned from watching her works."

"It's okay to learn, just remember not to be influenced by it." Xie Qingliu laughed.

He is a social animal born in the early 4s, and he really is someone who came from the era that Mei Mei's mother mentioned. He also experienced the transition from simply admiring public intellectuals to the advent of the G era. When people could receive foreign and domestic information more conveniently, they suddenly discovered something very interesting.

People have always thought that foreign countries are paradises, but in fact, they are just like that. Many places are even worse than in China. So people began to examine their surroundings and learned to think about what those public intellectuals said. Gradually, the trendsetters of the past have become the "crooked butts" that people now boycott.

But these are too far away. Why is Xie Qingliu here to pay attention to Director Gao?

Wang Qian and others gathered together, with the food they brought placed in the middle. There were dry-pot cauliflower, stir-fried beef tripe, squirrel fish, stir-fried pork with green peppers... These were all very common home-cooked dishes, or it could be said that these were the only dishes available in this place.

So the golden retriever was dumbfounded, because he didn't even know how to use chopsticks, and after the long journey, the dishes had lost their original appearance and looked messy like pig food.

"Mr. Li, why don't you eat?" Wang Qian was extremely hungry. Although the food in front of him was a bit messy, it filled his stomach.

"You're such a loser." The golden retriever cursed and clumsily picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

He didn’t know if it was because the pork had been left for too long or because the merchant used dead pork, but a fishy smell filled the air and he turned pale and vomited.

Wang Qian, who was eating, couldn't eat anymore after seeing this scene. He stared at the other person with a dark face.

Only Li Suifeng lowered his head and ate his food in small bites, silently listening to the conversation next to him. The slightly plump woman who came over was a director, and from the conversation between the two people, it could be concluded that the other party was very professional.

"As long as I cooperate, I can still produce a good product." Li Suifeng planned silently in his mind.

"That's disgusting."

Xie Qingliu curled his lips, turned around and slowly returned to the recliner to continue resting. He believed that this group of people could do anything, but he didn't believe that they could succeed.

Short videos and movies are two different things. Even if Director Gao is very good, it still depends on the person.

Is Li Ziqi beautiful? Is her cooking delicious?

Neither, it's just because she grasped one point of people in modern urban life, the pursuit of nature and freedom. The dreamlike pastoral life is the key. Xie Qingliu is now an enhanced version of the wealthy Liziqi. Can this group of people have more fun than him?

"But what's going on with Li Suifeng?" Xie Qingliu rubbed his chin. Is the male lead courting death? He's hanging out with a jerk like Wang Qian. Isn't he afraid of being sold as a gangster?

"Brother Qingliu, it's time to start filming."

Irene came running over and shouted loudly, saying that only this fearless idiot dared to disturb Xie Qingliu like this, anyone else would be scolded.

"I know... stop being so arrogant, you idiot! Die." Xie Qingliu was so angry that he grabbed the girl and started to beat her up.

pS: Woohoo! !

Chapter 111 Is this still him?

At around 1:30 in the afternoon, a tricycle slowly stopped outside the courtyard, and several women with a strong smell of sweat carried a black pig into the courtyard.

The pale-faced Golden Prince and the others gathered around to watch. They saw a stove in the courtyard boiling water, and the black pig was tied to the ground. Then they saw a knife coming down...

"ah!"

Irene covered her eyes but couldn't help but secretly watch. She hid behind Xie Qingliu in fear and whispered, "So... so cruel."

"Yeah." Xie Qingliu also felt a chill on his neck. Even as a social animal, he could not accept the scene of slaughtering large animals.

Lin Qingyu had no expression on her face and was even eager to try. It seemed that the girl had a natural liking for bloody things.

Mei Mei was filming on the side. Although the girl's hands... were shaking slightly, it was not a big deal because of the gimbal.

“Actually recorded?”

Outside, Director Gao watched the actions in the courtyard and recorded them silently.

The following scenes became even bloodier, with bleeding, disembowelment, shaving, and dismemberment. The courtyard was filled with a foul smell, just like a murder scene.

Irene was rubbing her belly as she watched. She had eaten too much at noon, and this stimulation made the girl feel a little nauseous.

"Brother, everything is ready for you."

After the black pig was divided, the leading woman walked up to Xie Qingliu and said, "According to your request, ribs, thighs, large intestines... Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied." Xie Qingliu's face turned pale. He couldn't accept this scene, but he still had to cut up the meat himself later: "Trouble!"

"It's no trouble, no trouble. We'll leave first. Call us if you need anything." The woman said enthusiastically.

"Yeah, thank you."

Xie Qingliu watched them leave and looked at the meat arranged on the stone slab, feeling a little confused.

Before coming here, he watched a lot of videos to learn how to handle these pieces of meat, but when it came time to actually do it, it seemed a bit difficult.

"Could it be that Xie Qingliu did it himself?" Wang Qian lay on the fence outside the door, watching Xie Qingliu grab the knife, his eyes twitching as he said, "This guy can't be capable of this."

"Are you sure?" The golden retriever stood on a stone. He was also curious about how the filming was done.

The other person in Xie Qingliu's video really behaved very... tastefully. That kind of otherworldly feeling of leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountains was so shocking to foreigners that it shocked them for the whole year.

An ancient oriental country, this impression is also deeply rooted in the minds of foreigners.

Xie Qingliu picked up the pork back and placed it on the chopping board with some difficulty. Then he exhaled and began to slice it with the knife deftly.

"grass!"

Wang Qian was completely dumbfounded. The knife skills were simply blinding him.

"Is this what you said you couldn't do?" The golden retriever almost cursed.

With such knife skills, he is good enough to work in a hotel to cut vegetables and arrange dishes, but I don’t know if Xie Qingliu can carve.

"I... God knows when he learned it." Wang Qian originally planned to secretly take some videos of Xie Qingliu cheating, but if he posted it, he was afraid that he would be regarded as his fan.

Irene didn't know when she set up the drawing board. She saw the girl writing with great skill. With a few lines, she outlined the outline of Xie Qingliu cutting vegetables. Then she added a few lines around it, as if there was an invisible airflow surrounding Xie Qingliu.

"How did you become so flexible?" The layman watches the excitement while the expert watches the details. After all, Lin Qingyu had learned martial arts before, and she could tell at a glance that Xie Qingliu did not have many skills. It was just that his wrist and fingers were very flexible. There was even a sense of sluggishness when cutting, because he had never cooked before and did not know how to cut according to the grain of the meat.

However, this feeling of stagnation is rapidly dissipating, which means that Xie Qingliu seems to have figured it out, or found the feeling.

"Qingliu is really good at cooking?" Lin Qingyu murmured in her heart. It seemed that she knew too little about the person she wanted to protect.

As the knife cut through the meat, Xie Qingliu discovered that he could actually clearly feel the slight vibration, just like when playing a game and the distance that appeared after moving the mouse and clicking it appeared in his mind.

"Skillful?"

Xie Qingliu clicked his tongue in his heart. Compared with the illusory halo of being a male god, this intuitive improvement made him feel more comfortable.

In just ten minutes, a large piece of meat was processed. Even Mei Mei, who was filming, had a stunned expression. She was prepared to fight for the whole afternoon. After all... Xie Qingliu had encountered an unexpected incident when cooking before.

But now the other party's smooth knife skills are really surprising.

"Did he practice secretly?" Mei Mei guessed in her heart. She stopped filming and walked forward to communicate.

"How is it?" Xie Qingliu took the towel handed over by Lin Qingyu and wiped his sweat. This was a real scene shooting.

"Hmm...very impressive." Mei Mei gave a thumbs up and said, "Qingliu, you have really changed."

"I want to hear something else." Xie Qingliu has become accustomed to the flattery of several girls. He is more concerned about the effect of the filming.

"It's very smooth overall. If you add subtitles in the post-editing and change the angles of how Qingliu handles the food, it can make it more dreamy." Mei Mei said quickly, "How should I put it, Qingliu! You are becoming more and more photogenic. Theoretically, even celebrities need to deal with some imperfections in post-editing, but Qingliu, you... are strangely perfect."

"That's because of my extraordinary talent." Xie Qingliu said shamelessly. He didn't want to tell the other party that it was the effect of his masculine halo.

"Well, Qingliu, you are indeed getting more and more beautiful." Mei Mei said with a subtle smile: "My heart beats faster just by looking at you!"

"My heartbeat has also accelerated." Irene suddenly came out and said, "Brother Qingliu, look at what I drew."

Mei Mei was stunned for a moment, and before she could react she realized there was a gap between them. She opened her mouth and wanted to say "I haven't finished communicating yet", but Irene had already stuck to her.

"What the hell?" Xie Qingliu took the drawing paper and looked at it, raised his eyebrows and said, "You are drawing a fantasy, as if you are creating the world?"

"Brother Qingliu, don't you think you look like an immortal?" Irene blinked and said with a look of longing on her little face, "There is an old saying that a lady should stay away from the kitchen because killing is dirty, but Brother Qingliu can cook so elegantly and uniquely. This is how I see Brother Qingliu."

"You're out of your mind." Xie Qingliu looked at the drawing paper for a while and said, "But I like it very much. Color it! Frame it. I'm going to use it as the cover for the next issue."

"Got it." Irene's smile suddenly became as bright as a flower. She knew that the other party would like it.

Mei Mei was confused the whole time. She found that although Xie Qingliu said that he disliked and didn't like her, he seemed to... really enjoy Irene's behavior. When she was with Xie Qingliu, he never behaved like this.

The two of them look so...well matched.

pS: Yeah!!

Chapter 112 The Prince is anxious

Xie Qingliu's performance lasted nearly two hours before it ended. He processed the whole pig in a clear and orderly manner, and became more and more skilled as time went on. Sister Yu, who was watching from the side, wanted to complain. Has this scumbag ever studied cooking? Is he really going to be a super scumbag?

Xie Qingliu had no idea how amazing his performance was. He was just cutting meat. After all, there were too many people in the world who could cook, so it wasn't an extraordinary skill.

But he forgot one thing, those fat and big-eared men are either chefs or officials, so how lethal it would be to a group of women if a young, handsome boy with the aura of a male god could cook so elegantly and uniquely in such a world.

"I'm so tired."

Sitting on the chair, Xie Qingliu rubbed his arms. His physical condition was simply terrible. Even when he cut some meat or chopped some bones, his arms felt numb and sore as if they were burning.

"Qingliu, you are a little too stubborn." Lin Qingyu said softly while fanning herself.

"Is there?" Xie Qingliu asked puzzledly.

"Boys...should rest when they are tired." Lin Qingyu still spoke in a low voice.

"I think you are looking down on me, what do you think?" Xie Qingliu asked with a raised eyebrow.

Lin Qingyu shut up silently and would never answer such a question, otherwise Xie Qingliu would do something outrageous. No matter how many people were here, she had tried it many times.

"You are such a boring person. You don't even fall for it."

Seeing the girl silent, Xie Qingliu said with disdain.

"Brother Qingliu, let me give you a massage." Irene listened to the conversation between the two and didn't understand the meaning of it, but the girl knew that she should be attentive at this time, and girls should know how to read people's expressions.

"Haha, thank you! No need." Xie Qingliu dodged quickly. What Irene was thinking was the same as what he was thinking about Lin Qingyu. Although this woman was stupid, she was very thick-skinned, much thicker than him.

Mei Mei watched today's footage silently on the side. Xie Qingliu's performance was perfect, or perhaps he was used to being so casual in front of the camera. He didn't feel nervous at all and was focused on his own things.

The most important thing in photography is naturalness!

"Maybe Qingliu can make movies in the future?" An interesting idea popped up in Mei Mei's mind.

A compulsory course for actors to get started is how to ignore the camera and the staff around them, but this is not easy to do.

For example, the famous photography master 'Ha Pi Yi Qi', not only has an enviable appearance, he is also a talented actor. His acting skills are not superb, but they are very natural, and he typically does not care about the eyes of people around him.

The group of people who had been lying on the wall watching the golden retriever for two hours were already numb. They were stunned and surprised at first, but now they were feeling unhappy and even a little jealous and envious.

Wang Qian originally liked Xie Qingliu very much, because both of them were considered to be free-spirited people who did not follow the rules. However, he was still very unhappy with some of Xie Qingliu's behaviors, such as the fact that he never touched prohibited items, never messed around with girls, and never participated in orgy parties.

Asked why, because he didn't like it.

However, considering that both of them are second-generation rich, and both are boys, and both have restless hearts, they are still good friends with similar interests.

But that time at the mall, he found that Xie Qingliu had changed. He used to just have a mild obsession with mysophobia, but now he was completely different from him. He even turned against him for a skinny, short girl.

This is something he cannot tolerate. The other party actually started to play with innocence. We are all scumbags, and you still want to get ashore?

It just so happened that he discovered that the other party was with the sensitive person Irene, and it happened that Selina Li, the stupid prince, came to Jiangbei, so this cooperation came about.
