Chapter 113 111. Visiting Class
"…What?"
Xu Xin didn't seem to hear clearly, so he asked a question.
As a result, when Zhang Jiao couldn't stop her at all, Zhao Liying asked:
“Are we doing okay?”
"..."
In Zhang Jiao's eyes, Director Xu's cheeks were twitching at a speed visible to the naked eye...
It's over, she thought.
But after Xu Xin felt that it was absurd in his heart, he looked at Zhao Liying's eyes full of expectation, but he didn't say anything like "You're so bad at acting".
Instead, he asked a question:
"How do you think you're doing?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand:
"If you don't mention Zhang Jiao, just let me do your own performance."
Zhao Liying thought for a while and said:
"It's... pretty smooth."
"..."
Xu Xin was stunned...
Zhang Jiaoxin finished speaking, Baozi, you will definitely be beaten.
But suddenly a chuckle was heard.
Sent by Xu Xin.
"Ha~"
He smiled and shook his head:
"Do you want to listen to the truth or lie?"
“…truth.”
"Is it true? The truth is that I don't care what you guys are playing at all."
"..."
"..."
The two girls felt uncomfortable in an instant.
Then Xu Xin continued to say:
"And the lie is that you two are doing okay..."
As he spoke, he suddenly smiled and said after seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the two of them:
"Well, anyway, I have to let you do it a few more times... I will give you two five minutes to memorize the lines and forms of the performance just now, and then do it again after a while, right? It will be an audition. This time I Look carefully... well, five minutes, get ready."
He got up and went straight out.
Ignoring what kind of mental journey the two of them had gone through, after he came out, he found a staff member and directly explained that he wanted a camera.
So, ten minutes later, the camera was brought over.
And five minutes later...
Xu Xin looked at the silent Zhao Liying, and asked with a smile:
"What do you think of your acting?"
"..."
"..."
Zhao Liying and Zhang Jiao, who had just seen their acting skills through the small screen of the camera, fell silent.
It's obvious.
How dare you say so?
Xu Xin didn't want to say anything more at first, but seeing the shock of the two of them, he finally added a sentence:
"Whether you want to be an actor or a star, it's not so easy. Whether you can be popular or not depends on your fate. But whether you can act or not, it depends on you... OK, cheer up, I will tell you to go away For a while, you two will try to follow my position..."
…
In the evening, when the crew was fully assembled, Xu Xin didn't go to the square.
Zhang Yimou didn't call him, but asked Assistant Lin to bring him the lighting team and a shooting assistant, as well as two cameras.
In these days, everyone can see how much director Zhang attaches importance to this young man... Besides, the other party is not arrogant and domineering, on the contrary, he is quite comfortable to get along with.
Adding the work of finding light and trial shooting is also part of the job, so I have no complaints.
Seven or eight people conscientiously followed Xu Xin's ideas, assuming various lights, looking for various shooting angles, and worked until 9 o'clock in the evening.
Finally, Xu Xin completed his own pre-shooting plan through one shot after another of his own design, under the premise of inheriting the style of director Zhang's film shooting theme.
Everyone started to call it a day.
Zhang Jiao's legs were numb from sitting and standing, but she didn't cry out.
It was rare, after Xu Xin finished work, she and Zhao Liying, who came alternately next to her, said hard work.
But it can be seen... the excitement of these two people is gone.
The repeated scenes in the afternoon were like a basin of cold water pouring on the hearts of the two of them.
Xu Xin taught the two of them a lesson with practical actions.
Being an actor is really not that simple, I can do it...
It's like the water dispenser administrator in the NBA who can blow up the king of passers-by, it's a truth.
But this kind of thing... can only be figured out by myself.
There are people who have figured it out, retreated despite the difficulties, felt that they might not be the material for this industry, and returned home after waking up from the dream.
But there are some people who are brave in the rapids and tortured me thousands of times in acting. I treat acting like first love, and become a master like the protagonist of a martial arts novel.
It's hard for Xu Xin to say which kind of people these two are.
also don't care.
Just do your job well.
…
"Zhang Weiping replied to your godfather, but Director Zhang didn't agree, saying that we will meet again when we have the opportunity to return to Yanjing next time. The crew is too busy filming."
This was the first sentence Liu Yifei heard her mother say after the crew finished work.
"..."
Liu Yifei was taken aback for a moment, then for some reason, an idea popped up in her heart.
Could it be Xu Xinrang who refused?
This thought came out of nowhere, but suddenly.
But... the next second, she felt that she was thinking too much.
It's… almost impossible.
Then asked:
"What did the godfather say?"
"Didn't you say you want to act in a movie? It just so happens that Huayi has a leader here, whom your godfather knows. We're going to have dinner now."
"…ah?"
Liu Yifei was taken aback for a moment:
"Not going back to the hotel?"
Now, Liu Xiaoli glanced at her daughter with some dissatisfaction:
"You said that you want to make movies and don't want to make TV dramas. Your godfather almost broke his leg because of you. Why are you so ignorant?"
"..."
Liu Yifei fell silent.
And Liu Xiaoli continued:
"I'm going to visit the class in the afternoon... When Yang Mi was finished, I was still chatting with your godfather. Actually, you don't need to go. If you want to get to know each other, there are plenty of ways to get to know each other. Your godfather will definitely send you to Huayi this time." Over there, at least their movies are not worse than those made by Zhang Yimou, right?"
"Mom, I just went to see Mimi, by the way...to see what Director Zhang's crew looks like, I don't mean anything else. I don't want to step on anyone or what..."
Liu Yifei quickly explained.
"But you also have to pay attention to your identity, don't you? What is your status? Going to visit a young actor? You know about your visit. If you are photographed by a reporter, or know, someone else will be like "Liu Yifei visits Yang Mi" title, how much attention can the other party get?"
Seeing her mother wanting to talk about this kind of thing again, Liu Yifei was really helpless.
Although she knows that her mother is protecting herself, the problem is that she always talks about the so-called "coffee position" or status.
It is understandable not to let excessive **** during filming.
Emotional scenes can’t have intimacy, okay...
But why has it risen to this level now?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say:
"Mom, I'm also looking for girls!"
"..."
Now, Liu Xiaoli was suddenly speechless.
Indeed, she overlooked this.
Whether it is Gong Li or Zhang Ziyi, the popularity of "seeking girls" is also very high in the entertainment industry.
"Let's not talk about it, now that I look at it this way, this Yang Mi can be regarded as climbing a high branch..."
"you…"
Hearing this, she actually wanted to say "Can you stop being so ugly", but she didn't dare.
So I can only pretend that I didn't hear this.
But she really felt... Mom was too deeply influenced by her godfather, and she was used to the model of "others act and take roles, and the investors behind them come first".
Although it is undeniable that this kind of thing is very common.
But there are many people who get roles by acting skills or by chance.
Not everyone is born with a relationship...
even…
I also want not to rely on my godfather, but to rely on my own efforts to win the role...
She sighed inwardly.
Thinking about this in her heart, she didn't dare to say it to her mother.
Because after she finished speaking, her mother will definitely be unhappy... Mom has sacrificed enough for herself. In order to accompany and protect herself, she chose to separate from her stepfather... And since this year, she has not seen her mother for a long time. The stepfather called or cared about the other party.
And all of this is for myself...
So, she wouldn't say those words to her mother.
Because mother will be sad.
only…
When will mom understand what I really want?
…
"Ah Choo!"
"Have a cold?"
"without."
Rubbing her nose, the girl shook her head, and suddenly looked at her boyfriend "viciously":
"Tell me, are you scolding me behind my back!"
"Return to the palace..."
Xu Xin rolled her eyes, and tapped her forehead with the script in her hand:
"Concentrate, have you remembered what I just told you?"
"Ouch~ it hurts~ woo woo woo..."
Looking at her crouching with her head in her arms, Xu Xin pulled her up speechlessly:
"Okay! Hurry up and concentrate, I'm going to make the palace scenery tomorrow, I can't take care of you, then don't kill a few times because of you, you will be ashamed, you know?"
"...Tch~ What a fierce thing, people are scared."
"..."
After saying this, looking at her boyfriend's increasingly dangerous eyes, the girl quickly confessed:
"Okay, okay, remember, ran to this bridge, suddenly made a suffocated expression, and then fell to the ground "Ah~ I'm dead~"...It's very simple."
"You...ah."
Looking at his girlfriend who made a dead expression with her tongue out and squinting eyes, he sighed.
No way, I found a fool with my own ability.
Pamper yourself.
Standing helplessly in front of the palace, he said:
"Emotions, you know? It must be set in place!"
"...shall I laugh?"
"What?"
"Laughing... Think about it, Jiang Chan knew that she had **** with her brother, how absurd and stressful it was in that era... She ran out madly. Suddenly a knife stabbed her... Is she relieved?" Is it? So should I laugh... something like that."
Under the tent, she made a movement of running in place.
Then suddenly his expression was stifled, and he subconsciously looked down.
When he looked up again, he showed a very strange smile.
It seems to be relieved, but also satisfied.
It's weird.
"...?"
Xu Xin frowned.
"Don't say it yet... a little tense... try again."
"Ho~~uh...ha~"
From choking, to disbelief, to a wacky grin.
Girl did it all over again.
"Well... You can try it tomorrow. I don't know if Director Zhang can pass it, but I think this kind of smile is good. With a bit of relief, with a bit of relief that seeks to be kind and benevolent... The taste is not bad."
"right?"
The girl became proud.
Xu Xin was really surprised, because the girl's smile really had a... very inexplicable taste.
He couldn't help asking:
"How did you come up with this idea?"
"When the two of us were watching "Sweet Honey" two days ago, Zhang Yuyu's crying and laughing smile, didn't you say you like it, I just thought of it."
"…sharp."
Listening to her boyfriend's sincere words, the girl became more and more proud. Then…
"Hey, brother."
She suddenly lowered her voice.
"what?"
Xu Xin lowered his head subconsciously, and heard her say:
"I've finished filming, so the room over there has to be withdrawn...you can ask me, see...do you have a room at the door or next door. Our crew...should be in charge of the accommodation, right?"
"..."
Looking at the shy girlfriend, listening to the self-deprecating question.
Xu Xin nodded:
"I'm going to drive Sister Wei away..."
"Oops! You're annoying~"
"Hey~"
The fist is neither painful nor itchy.
But Xu Xin's heart warmed up.
Then he coughed twice:
"Ahem, this actor, about the room, you'd better come to my room tonight. We are discussing carefully~"
"...Why are you so good at this reason?"
Girl speechless:
"I always feel that in the future you will make the set of unspoken rules fly..."
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm not a good person."
"Trust me~...huh? Badass~"
The shy look of the girl whose reaction was half a beat slow...
Really are all kinds of styles.
"Hey hey hey..."
In the distance, Ma Wen and Wei Lanfang saw their appearance, and Ma Wen kept smacking her lips:
"Tsk tsk tsk, how sweet this is."
Wei Lanfang agreed with a face:
"Isn't that right, I'm afraid of getting diabetes next door, at least it's an advanced stage. Sweet sei teeth~"
"...???"
something is wrong with you...
Return your teeth?
Who broke out the stone?
…
No fuss that night.
But the next morning, Sun Ting looked at Yang Mi, who moved to the 20th floor with a hippie smile, and looked sad.
What do you mean, sister Mimi, you just threw me on the 5th floor?
Along the way, she repeatedly confirmed, and in the end she still got the message "You still live on the fifth floor", and she finally experienced the sadness of being abandoned.
Obviously I belong to your group.
What about not abandoning or giving up?
Then…
She watched helplessly as Sister Mimi waved goodbye to her, and got into Xu Xin's room.
As soon as she returned to the room, she received a call from Zeng Jia:
"Hey, Sun Ting, I'll come over tomorrow and open a room for me."
"Okay, Sister Zeng, what time will you arrive tomorrow? Shall I pick you up?"
"No, I'll go there by myself... How is Mimi and that Xu Xin these two days?"
Hearing this question, Sun Ting gave the answer without any hesitation:
"The two of you haven't had much communication. They've been filming night scenes these days. Every day I'm waiting outside for Sister Mimi, and then we'll come back together. Don't worry~"
When Sun Ting said this kind of lie, she didn't have any psychological burden.
She is not a fool.
Although it was the first time, when everyone ate at the restaurant in front of the door and had barbecue later, she was still full of doubts. But later combined with some behaviors of Miss Mimi, I gradually understood what the other party meant.
To put it bluntly, Sister Mimi wants to find an assistant who will share her heart with her.
Not the kind that suddenly stabs a knife in the back.
The kind of assistant who regards the artist as the first criterion.
It’s not the kind that suddenly informs the agent, keeps a tight mouth... and even takes the initiative to take the blame.
The series of temptations Miss Mimi has made in the past few days, including the intimacy with Xu Xin that she inadvertently revealed... The gradual intimacy is actually an attitude of waiting for herself, right?
If I choose to tell the truth to Sister Zeng...
Then my job may have been sentenced to death.
Very simple conspiracy.
But you can make yourself understand your position as an assistant.
The current Mimi sister is also so unscrupulous precisely because she has confirmed her position and confirmed that she understands what she means.
After weighing things up for herself, Sun Ting finally knew that, at least in the long run, there would definitely be no problem staying by Sister Mimi's side, so she concealed it from Zeng Jia.
And Zeng Jia didn't think much about it.
She was quite at ease with Sun Ting's style of doing things, so she responded:
"That's good, take good care of her, protect her, you must not let that Xu Xin get close to her, understand?... Then don't tell Mimi what happened to me."
The moment Sun Ting heard Zeng Jia's words, Sun Ting narrowed her eyes.
Then he agreed:
"Okay, Sister Zeng, I understand."
"Well, hang up."
The other side hung up the phone, Sun Ting didn't even think about it, and directly sent a text message to Yang Mi:
"Sister Mimi, Sister Zeng will come over tomorrow, but don't let me tell you."
A moment.
The other party replied:
"Got it, I'm counting on you tonight too, okay~"
"^_^"
also replied with a smiling face, and Sun Ting let out a long sigh.
"well…"
Hope she made the right choice.
I hope Miss Mimi can become popular.
Because only in this way can her career plan as an assistant last long.
hope...
…
"Godfather, shall we set off?"
"Um."
Chen Jinfei waved his hand:
"Girl, you don't have to put a hot face on someone's cold **** when you get there, you know? We don't need to look at anyone, and don't stay for long, it seems that our posture is very low. Look at it normally, just come back when you gain knowledge. Hua Yi's godfather will take you to meet some people tomorrow night."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei knew that the godfather might feel a little uncomfortable because Zhang Dao refuted his face.
But she didn't refute, just responded:
"Understood, then godfather, you can take a good rest in the hotel."
"Well, let's go."
Liu Yifei and her mother walked into the elevator, and when they went downstairs, they saw Huang Xiaoming standing in the hotel lobby.
"I made an agreement with Mimi, let's go directly."
Hearing what Huang Xiaoming said, Liu Yifei nodded:
"Well, brother Ming, what have you brought?"
"I just brought some drinks, it's not appropriate to bring others. We are visiting the class."
Huang Xiaoming just made a point.
Liu Yifei didn't speak, but Liu Xiaoli said with a smile:
"Yes, just bring some drinks to see Mimi. Then let's go~"
Neither of them brought an assistant, but they still boarded two commercial vehicles.
Following the moonlight all the way to the entrance of the palace, someone stopped them.
Huang Xiaoming's car is in front, and Liu Yifei's is behind.
After seeing the driver say a few words to the staff member, the staff member nodded and opened the door.
The car entered the Daming Palace.
The first thing that catches the eye is the item boxes.
"The scale is really not small."
Hearing what Liu Xiaoli said, Liu Yifei nodded:
"really."
Inevitably, curiosity appeared on her face.
Director Zhang's crew...
What is it like?
With this question in mind, the car soon arrived at the parking area.
When Huang Xiaoming got out of the car, he saw Sun Ting with a work permit, and greeted her with a smile:
"Tingting."
"Brother Xiaoming, hello... Sister Yifei, Aunt Liu, hello."
Sun Ting greeted politely.
"Sister Mimi is just about to start here, so let me greet you."
"oh?"
Huang Xiaoming's eyes lit up, then he nodded with a smile:
"Okay...we bought some drinks for everyone, what should we do?"
Hearing this, Sun Ting pointed to the young people standing next to her and the tricycle behind:
"It's fine to just install it... Director Xu yelled to help with these."
Jiang Quan and the others are indeed here to help.
But right now, all eyes are on Liu Yifei who is wearing a peaked cap but no mask...
After hearing Sun Ting's words, she came back and nodded.
Seeing this, Huang Xiaoming and Liu Xiaoli asked the driver to open the trunk, which contained Red Bull.
Specially used to fight fatigue.
At this time, Liu Xiaoli asked:
"Mimi is filming now?"
"Yes...it's on the square, Aunt Liu, shall we go there now?"
"good."
Liu Xiaoli nodded first, and then asked:
"The one guides them..."
"Also."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The three of them were not talking.
Sun Ting led them directly to the square.
Entered the big square at Juhua Terrace, and as expected, I saw a group of people standing together.
"Director Zhang is right there."
Sun Ting whispered something and quickened her pace.
The three people behind were all a little confused by the large square covered with chrysanthemums in the distance... and the towering chrysanthemum platform blocking the main hall of Daming Palace...
Can't imagine what these are doing.
But looking at the pots of chrysanthemums on the ground... To be honest, it was quite shocking.
This thing may not be seen in the TV drama crew.
And just when several people were approaching the filming team, Liu Yifei looked around...
Neither Yang Mi nor Xu Xin was found.
At this time, several people heard a voice from the loudspeaker:
"The actors are in place. All departments are ready, Mi Mi, get ready to start running, and Teacher Chen Jin will follow up later. Come, three, two, one, run!"
First reaction: This voice doesn't sound like Director Zhang's voice...
Second reaction: run? What are you running? how to run?
While the three of them were still thinking about how to run, suddenly, a shrill and sharp wailing sounded from the empty Daming Palace:
"ah!!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Because of the echo problem, the three of them didn't know where Yang Mi was, and could only hear movement.
But this doubt did not last long.
Because they had already seen the distance, a figure with disheveled hair ran wildly out of the palace gate under the chrysanthemum stage.
Screaming while running.
"ah!!"
At the second sound, another woman's cry came:
"Little Chan!!"
"ah!!!"
"Xiaochan!..."
Two voices came and went, while Yang Mi, with disheveled hair, kept running until she reached the second gate of the palace, which was the stone bridge over the moat where the filming crew was located...
"OK, pass, props!"
Yang Mi stopped running, panting non-stop, trying to calm her breathing.
Then, several props surrounded her and began to install a machete on her stomach.
Huang Xiaoming and the others didn't go there either, just stood not far away and looked at the girl who kept adjusting her breathing.
During this period, no one spoke.
Just quietly watching the disheveled girl gradually calmed down and took a breath.
Soon, the scimitar was installed, and the voice sounded again:
"Close up, get ready, honey, get ready to run. Three, two, one... run!"
"ah!"
Yang Mi made a frightened look again, and started to rush towards the bridge.
She rushed about five or six steps. Because of the fake knife wrapped around her waist, her posture was a bit funny at first glance.
Immediately afterwards, her figure suddenly stopped...
"Ah! Ugh..."
The girl's body stopped instantly, and her eyes moved down a little bit, as if wondering what happened to her.
But when she saw the scimitar protruding from her belly, the doubt on her face turned into a...sluggishness, as if it was unbelievable...but immediately this sluggishness turned into a kind of...a strange smile .
That smile is weird and a bit pervasive.
Only the corners of the mouth move, there is no smile in the eyes, it seems that the upper and lower parts of the face are completely separated, each has its own thoughts.
Looking at it, Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming frowned.
Although I don't know what the script is...but why are you laughing at this time?
Shouldn't you be fear?
Pain?
Why are you laughing?
But the girl just laughed.
Laughed first, then froze the smile, and fixed the expression on her face in that incomprehensible smile. She tilted her body and fell directly.
"Crack!...Mimi, how do you..."
The sound of the horn stopped suddenly.
It seemed that he wanted to say something but was cut off.
The three of them looked confused, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Yang Mi also lay down without moving.
Just lying there in a motionless posture.
Then waited for a while, and suddenly, another voice sounded very familiar, and one could tell whose voice it was:
"Xiao Xu taught you again?"
It's Zhang Yimou!
The three of them recognized it immediately, it was definitely Zhang Yimou!
At this moment, there is still an inexplicable doubt in his voice.
Yang Mi, who was lying on the ground, raised her hand and made a thumbs up gesture.
means "is".
Xiao Xu?
It can't be...Xu Xin, right?
Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei subconsciously pricked up their ears.
Then I heard a sentence:
"The effect is not bad, you get up, run again, this is another one..."
Speaking of this, let's stop.
Immediately afterwards, a rather dumbfounding tone sounded from the loudspeaker:
"This kid, another mess has been changed...Everyone, here's another one. The martial artist don't come up, wait until that one is finished..."
But anyone can tell that there is no complaint in these words, but a tone of dumbfounding...even a bit doting.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The three were silent.
The crew started to get busy again.
At this time, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but asked in a low voice to Sun Ting next to him:
"Tingting, director Zhang and Xu...Xu Xin have a good relationship?"
"I don't know either."
Sun Ting shook her head.
She really doesn't know...
