Chapter 324 Chen Shu Visits
"Director Xu, we're here."
After hearing Huang Bin's reminder, Xu Kun realized that they had arrived at the small hotel booked by the crew.
He closed the Qidian novel interface reluctantly, closed the laptop screen, rubbed his eyes hard, then pushed the door and got out of the car.
Ever since he acquired the film and television adaptation rights for "Ghost Blows Out the Light", he has become interested in online novels.
Compared with physical books, online novels have more diverse topics. Although most of them are of average quality, there are also some excellent works among them.
For example, the book "Wolf Pack" that I just found on the street tells the story of a young Chinese man who accidentally becomes an international mercenary. The battle descriptions in it are very vivid.
Unfortunately, the subject matter is too sensitive and I’m afraid it won’t pass censorship if it’s made into a TV series.
Moreover, most of the characters and scenes are located abroad, and it would cost a lot of money to film them - but if all the characters and scenes are changed to domestic locations, it won’t have the same flavor.
He walked upstairs with his notebook in hand. When he reached his room, he took out his key and unlocked the door. Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard a voice from the side: "Director Xu."
Because it was a young woman's voice, Xu Kun thought it was Yin Tao. But when he turned around, he found that it was Chen Shu who came down from the third floor.
Xu Kun pushed open the door, then turned around and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Isn't this day coming soon?"
Chen Shu walked quickly to Xu Kun's side and said, "I'm not sure about this, so I want you to help me check it out."
Upon hearing this, Xu Kun stretched out his hand and pointed upwards.
Chen Shu immediately explained: "I arrived two hours ago. I heard that Director Xu would not be back until the evening, so I sat in Yin Tao's room for a while."
"Oh."
Xu Kun nodded and said, "Come in and talk."
As he said that, he walked into the room first and turned on the light.
The two of them had already had an affair, so Chen Shu naturally had nothing to be reserved about. He followed her into the room, took a look around, and said casually, "Director Xu, your environment is quite austere."
"There's no other way. Money has to be spent wisely. Sometimes I even have to pay some of it myself."
Although it was indeed a bit difficult and he didn't make much money, Xu Kun still felt that it was a very rewarding experience when he looked back on the nearly three months of filming.
A total of ten digital films [eight and a half have been shot], recording the growth of the male protagonist Xiao Wang, and also recording the growth of Xu.
This time he did not rely on the help of a senior assistant director, nor did he depend on his memories of his previous life. He tackled each task one by one. He would not dare to say that he has mastered it all, but at least he has become a qualified director.
If he were asked to remake "Lost on Journey" now, some of the mistakes he made at the beginning could be completely avoided, and the total investment could be reduced to less than 700 million.
"Director Xu is really dedicated."
Chen Shu praised him casually, then sat on Xu Kun's bed and crossed his legs naturally.
In fact, she couldn't quite understand Xu Kun's choice. He was already a famous and successful director, but why did he spend so much time and effort and money to make a digital movie?
And when she crossed her legs, Xu Kun frowned unconsciously.
Compared to a few months ago, Chen Shu has become darker and thinner, and the fatigue between his brows is even more lingering. I dare not say that he has been reborn, but at least he has suffered a lot in the past few months.
But when she crossed her legs, the charm of a concubine immediately came back to her soul, and the trousers and knitted T-shirt on her body seemed to have turned into a high-slit cheongsam.
Xu Kun subconsciously asked: "How have you experienced life in the past few months?"
"I found a village in Hebei, lived and ate there, and observed the actions of the rural women every day, and then tried to imitate them."
Speaking of business, Chen Shu subconsciously sat up straight and asked eagerly: "How about we have a scene now?"
"Tomorrow."
Xu Kun thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow I'll have someone find a suitable outfit for you to try on. This way it will be easier to see clearly."
"That's fine."
After hearing what Xu Kun said, Chen Shu stood up and said, "Then I'll go take a shower first."
"The bathroom is very slippery. Do you want me to help you?" Chen Shu took off his T-shirt and threw it on the bed. He turned around and smiled, "Okay, you hold me and I'll hold the wall."
As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. There was less urgency between the two of them, and they were very familiar with each other and had a tacit understanding when clapping.
Moreover, Chen Shu also graduated from Beijing Dance Academy, so his body flexibility is beyond doubt and he can perform any posture he wants.
The gap after the first wave ends.
Chen Shu lay in Xu Kun's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "I heard that you are trying to win the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor recently? You are such a big director, why are you still competing for this?"
"Teacher Zhang Guoli has been a director for many years. His status and qualifications are higher than mine. Hasn't he always been fighting for these things? Although people are coming for my identity as a director, I am still an actor by profession."
“Wouldn’t it be better to be a director?”
"Fish is what I want, and bear's paw is also what I want."
This is actually misleading. To be honest, Xu Kun actually prefers to be an actor. After all, the world of an actor is relatively pure and all he has to do is figure out the role well.
Being a director means a lot more things to consider.
But he reaped such huge benefits on his first try, and even though he preferred to be an actor, he couldn't give up the benefits of being a director.
So I can only have both.
…………
Before dawn the next day, Chen Shu quietly left the hotel.
Xu Kun flipped through the script for another hour before going out and telling Huang Bin to ask someone to fix the bed.
Hey~
What a mistake. If she had held on to the wall while doing the splits instead of relying on her own waist strength, maybe the bed wouldn't have collapsed.
Half an hour later, Chen Shucai, who had dressed up, came back to the hotel.
In fact, many people had seen her yesterday evening, and Xu Kun's bed collapsed. Doing this was purely an attempt to cover up the truth, but covering up the truth is better than catching the person red-handed.
After the group took the bus to the film and television city, Xu Kun first asked Huang Bin to find a set of clothes from the Republic of China period - the kind of floral cotton jacket that ordinary women wear.
Then he took Chen Shu and Zhang Jin to the dressing room.
In the 9th film "Seven-Star Duan Inkstone", there was an important character named Shi Dalong, for whom he couldn't find a suitable candidate, so the director had to play the role himself.
While putting on makeup, Zhang Jin focused his attention on his nose and his heart, as if Chen Shu next to him did not exist.
After finishing her makeup, she hurriedly left the dressing room under the pretext of "leaving for a new location".
Chen Shu was also a little embarrassed. If the bed hadn't collapsed, everyone would probably keep what happened last night a secret. But with this "gimmick", the matter would probably leak out sooner or later.
Xu Kun doesn't have to worry about the debts he has, but Chen Shu has never thought of being tied to Xu Kun, this playboy.
At this time, Huang Bin brought the clothes from the Republic of China.
Xu Kun said, "Before I start filming, let's go for a walk and see if it works this time."
Chen Shu had an appointment to audition with Feng Xiaogang after the National Day, so he naturally didn't want to stay here too long, so he took the clothes from Huang Bin and wanted to put them on.
As soon as he raised it above his head, he froze, raised his nose and said hesitantly: "This dress..."
"what happened?"
"nothing."
Chen Shu didn't say anything in the end. He pinched his nose and put on the costume.
Seeing her disgusted expression, Xu Kun felt that something might be a little mysterious.
As it turned out, when I tried the play, it was really a mess!
If she was like a rich lady pretending to be a rural woman before, this time she has been upgraded to a professional female spy pretending to be a rural woman.
