Chapter 316: Too Many People Sleep
Is there someone above who matters the most?
Xu Kun was a little confused. Although this was indeed the case, when had he ever said this to Zhao Liying?
But this is not important. What is important is to continue to confirm Zhao Liying’s meaning.
"Then you want to..."
"Director Xu!"
When she was young, Zhao Liying was a bold thinker and a daring actor, otherwise she wouldn't have been nicknamed "Zhao Xiaodao".
Since she had made up her mind, there was no point in hiding it. She came straight to the point and said, "I just want to give myself to you. From now on, I will do whatever you say!"
This girl is really getting the hang of things.
But Xu Kun was not very excited. After all, for him now, it was easy to get hold of a little girl.
On the contrary, he felt a little sad and disappointed that Zhao Liying "woke up" so easily - although this circle has always been a big melting pot, he didn't expect Xiao Zhao to be able to persist forever, but the time she persisted was too short, wasn't it?
In fact, this is a typical case of a full man not knowing the hunger of a hungry man.
When he and Baoqiang were extras, although the situation was much more difficult than Zhao Liying's current situation, he was certain that Baoqiang would become famous, so he was always full of expectations for the future.
Since entering Huayi, Zhao Liying has been in a state of panic all day long, fearing that she would gradually become a backup temporary worker of Huayi like those trainees.
She finally got the news that the company was going to assign her an important role, but she was happy for only two days. She fell into a trough of anxiety again because of a fight with He Zhuoyan.
Since participating in the talent show after the New Year, the past six months have been like a roller coaster ride, leaving Zhao Liying overwhelmed.
Plus the Huayi culture...
It is only normal that her mentality would change after being influenced by what she sees and hears.
But Xu Kun obviously couldn't empathize with her. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you said you would listen to me, then you can just focus on your training at the company. We can talk about the future later."
Although he didn't care about his scandal being exposed, there was no reason for him to commit a crime against the law - what was the difference between getting Zhao Liying to make a guest appearance in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at this time and confessing it?
When Zhao Liying heard that she could "train with peace of mind", she knew that the matter was basically over and that her choice was indeed the right one!
But soon, she couldn't help but ask: "What about those..."
"what?"
"Nothing, nothing!"
Halfway through the conversation, Zhao Liying started to shrink her head.
Although she really wanted to play the role of "Shuang'er", Xiong Naijin was also a member of the Teddy Sisters. Not to mention that she hadn't been connected to the role yet, even if she was connected, she might not be able to be closer to Director Xu than Xiong Naijin.
Instead of worrying about 'Shuang'er', it is better to think about how to win Director Xu's favor.
EMMM~
There seems to be a book called "The Art of Sex" which specifically teaches this kind of thing.
…………
hang up the phone.
Xu Kun put Xiao Zhao's matter behind him and told everyone to continue filming.
What follows is the final highlight of "The Escort": the Wang family father and son + Liu Xiangyun's people VS the army of men in black led by Xue Zhi.
Although Xu Kun did not choose Zhou Qunda at first, he was obsessed with his design of breaking the long bamboo with two guns, so he specially asked the Sixth Princess to "buy" the copyright.
Then he asked Zhouyi's people to refine it, and the final result made Xu Kun very satisfied.
After all, the combination of Zhou Yi + Zhao Changjun + Zhang Jin can be said to have 360-degree coverage in terms of action scenes.
Xu Kun also benefited a lot from participating in the whole process and gained more understanding and ideas about action scenes.
It just so happened that Baoqiang had been holding back and wanted to fulfill his dream of being a martial arts star. If he had the chance in the future, perhaps he could direct and star in an action movie himself.
Don’t shoot in the summer!
This group battle scene took two and a half days to shoot, and the main actors and the stunt double were almost dehydrated.
Yin Tao and Hao Lei were also completely exhausted, unable to even touch up their makeup, and finally asked to have fewer close-up shots.
Zhang Jin couldn't control his expression, and it was like he was wearing a mask of pain when he fought.
The person who was most adaptable was Teacher Zhao Changjun. The sufferings that his generation went through when making movies were simply beyond the imagination of young people.
After each shoot, seeing the young people staggering in the air-conditioned room, Teacher Zhao couldn't help but want to teach everyone a lesson on recalling the past and cherishing the present.
The most commonly cited example is Journey to the West.
Wearing a leather suit and being covered in fur in the middle of summer to shoot action scenes was like hell on earth, especially since Monkey King was covered in fur and couldn’t be taken off easily... We returned to the small hotel at night.
Everyone turned on the fan first, then the air conditioner, and then started swearing.
In 06, all air conditioners were fixed frequency, and they consumed a lot of electricity. If we turn the air conditioner up and down at the same time, how can the voltage be increased? How can the temperature be reduced?
It's good enough that the fuse didn't blow.
Therefore, running to the rooftop to get some fresh air after taking a shower and before going to bed became a regular routine for the crew every night - staying up until midnight, when the power pressure was not so great and the air conditioner could be turned on.
Everyone else had a small stool, except Xu Kun and the producer, who each had a bamboo reclining chair.
However, these days Xu Kun showed his style and gave the chair to Hao Lei.
Xu Kun was sitting on a stool leaning against the wall, and he saw Hao Lei muttering in front of him, wiping her body with a towel stuffed into her collar, fiddling with things that could be seen and those that could not be seen, which made his eyes dizzy.
"no……"
He complained speechlessly: "Sister Lei, can you be more reserved?"
Hao Lei turned around and glanced at him, curling her lips and said, "There's no one else here, and besides, it's not like you haven't seen it before."
"You are slandering me. When did I ..."
"Do you dare to say that you haven't seen "Summer Palace"?"
"Well, I was there with an artistic eye and a critical spirit. I wanted to see what the quality of the thing was that made you pay so much to shoot it."
"So what do you think it is?"
"Um……"
Xu Kun thought for a moment and said, "It feels a bit like what the Japanese call chuunibyou."
"What is chuunibyou? What does it mean?"
"I also saw it online earlier. The general consensus is... wait for me to search online again."
A few minutes later, Xu Kun, who was surfing the Internet with Tianyi 3G, finally found the answer: "The term 'Chuunibyou' originated in Japan. 'Chuunibyou' means the second year of junior high school. As the name suggests, 'Chuunibyou' refers to the self-righteous thoughts, actions and values that are unique to adolescents.
As this word is widely used on the Internet, it has come to refer to those who are overly self-conscious, feel misunderstood, and feel unfortunate..."
"You are the one with Chuunibyou!"
As Xu Kun was thinking, Hao Lei threw the towel on his face.
Xu Kun pulled it off with a look of disgust, and casually put it on the recliner, saying unhappily: "It's all talk and no joke, but we don't use biological weapons."
"It doesn't smell good?"
"Uh……"
After all, she had just taken a shower, and she had obviously used high-end shower gel, so it must have smelled good. Xu Kun said helplessly: "Sister Lei, Deng Chao and I have been getting along well recently. If he hadn't given me the script, I would have..."
"So are you closer to me or to him?"
"Then it must be because we have a good relationship."
Xu Kun answered without thinking, but then he said seriously: "But because of this, I don't want to change the relationship between us."
"Why, too familiar to do it?"
"That's not what I meant."
Xu Kun sighed, "It's mainly because the more women I've slept with and the easier it is, the more I cherish my friends."
"It sounds a bit like 'The more people I meet, the more I like dogs.'" Hao Lei commented: "Your words sound like those of an art director."
“What is it like to be a literary director?”
"It's just pretentious."
After a pause, Hao Lei said self-deprecatingly: "I am also a hypocritical person. The more hypocritical a person is, the more he wants to pretend to be free and easy. The one who seems to care the least is often the one who cares the most."
Xu Kun was silent for a while, then stood up, stretched and said, "Go to bed early. Maybe tomorrow morning when you open your eyes, you will find yourself back to August 2001, 8. You can be hypocritical if you want to, and turn back if you want to."
"Haha, then I will definitely take you as my potential stock first, and then reap the benefits." Hao Lei laughed at first, then wondered: "Why is it August 2001, 8?"
