Chapter 235 233. Reading
September thirty.
Outside the auditorium, around 5 o'clock at night.
Holding a temporary pass and an Olympic work permit, Xu Xin parked his car in the square outside the auditorium, in the parking space specially reserved for Olympic personnel, and instead of going in directly, he walked towards the sidewalk for a few steps .
When passing by the "security guard", he smiled and raised the cigarette in his hand, and said politely:
"Comrade, I'm going in while smoking a cigarette."
The security guard nodded silently.
In order not to get in the way, Xu Xin also stayed far away. Some tourists in the province took pictures of themselves smoking outside the auditorium, which looked indecent.
After all, it’s Golden Week now, and there are quite a few people traveling here.
Smoking is prohibited inside and outside the auditorium, and the dinner will be held soon... According to Director Zhang, at least two or three hours.
He had a good time talking.
Anyway, the appointment is at 7 o'clock, so there is no rush.
And as soon as he lit one here, Xu Xin saw a familiar figure turning from the direction of the square to the sidewalk.
After seeing himself, the man was also stunned, and then walked over with a smile:
"Haha, Director Xu~"
Xu Xin also had a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand:
"Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Dezhi, general manager of the on-site project of the construction unit of the Bird's Nest Olympic site.
Olympic opening and closing ceremonies, large and small civil engineering projects, such as digging pits, hanging rails, etc., are all handled by him.
During the Olympic Games, everyone interacted a lot.
And the other party is obviously qualified to come to today's dinner.
Shake hands and let the smoke go.
After helping Zhao Dezhi light a cigarette, he heard him laughing:
"The auditorium is good everywhere, but it's too sad for us smokers."
"Haha, so I've had a good time here."
Hearing what Xu Xin said, Zhao Dezhi kept nodding:
"Yes, Director Xu has been here before?"
"without."
Xu Xin turned his head and glanced at this magnificent building, and said:
"I haven't been here once... but I hope to come more often in the future."
"Hahahahaha~ yes yes yes, I hope too."
Zhao Dezhi obviously agreed with Xu Xin's words.
Then changed the subject:
"Director Xu, what are your plans after the Olympics?"
"Still hanging around in this circle. Going to school, studying, making movies, that's all."
"Director Xu is young and promising, the future is boundless~"
"..."
Hearing this, Xu Xin blinked and responded with a smile:
"Where is Mr. Zhao?"
"…Ha ha."
Zhao Dezhi laughed again, and continued:
"It depends on the group's dispatch, I will go wherever I am asked... But if Director Xu has any needs, you can also contact me, and he will be there on time. Haha~"
"I'm making movies, not civil engineering. I can't afford Yanjing Urban Construction, haha~"
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Zhao Dezhi quickly shook his head:
"Hey~ Director Xu is being modest now. I can also help Director Xu to share his worries about things that the group can't participate in~ Some friends also do construction, so they communicate with each other."
Xu Xin immediately understood what Zhao Dezhi meant.
This is to build relationships.
The "official affairs" are done, but you can still contact me for "private affairs" in the future.
He should have a company outside and partnered with others.
But the problem is... Calculated in this way, the two seem to be "walking together".
Xu Xin couldn't say this, and couldn't answer, so he could only nod:
"Well, that's okay, there must be a chance in the future."
He is not so narcissistic that he thinks that the other party expects him to give him some work to survive, or what. Not very realistic.
Yanjing Urban Construction is not a small unit of cats and dogs. Any job in hand starts with one billion or tens of billions. Although Zhao Dezhi is only a small project manager, he definitely has weight outside.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing:
"Mr. Zhao's great success... is just around the corner."
Hearing his words, Zhao Dezhi smiled, and suddenly sighed:
"Hey, we are trying to survive in the cracks. Director Xu, we are like leaves on the side of the road, waiting for the wind every day. If a gust of wind blows over, even if it is only a little bit, we may turn over. If this The wind is stronger, and it takes us to fly forward for a certain distance, that is, the ancestral grave is emitting green smoke. Right?"
"..."
Xu Xin glanced at him, but didn't answer.
Didn't even think about whether his so-called "wind" is the Olympics, or some leaders...
But judging from this, at least the wind has begun to blow.
As for simply turning over, I can still take advantage of this wind to float forward for a while, and even fly completely...
Then it depends on the individual's fortune.
Thinking of this, he looked at the faintly exposed various buildings under construction in front of him...
I feel more and more that the advice I gave to my family is correct.
No matter how the wind blows, at least the real estate...should be the leaf that is engulfed.
Although it didn't know when it landed, it did fly up.
As for what Zhao Dezhi said about the smoke rising from the ancestral grave...
Well, maybe.
My ancestors bless you.
The two chatted for a while, and one after another, there were more cars on the auditorium square.
The two of them walked there together.
Finally, they returned to their respective teams with the promise of "have a drink together when we have time".
Xu Xin chatted with the big guys outside first, and then waited for Director Zhang to come, and followed Director Zhang into the inside.
In fact, he has been wondering if he will eat the legendary boiled cabbage today.
It's not that he hasn't eaten.
But... this dish sounds like, for some reason, it will make people associate with this place.
This banquet is a meal-sharing system.
There are not only relevant personnel involved in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, but also many outstanding personnel from all walks of life.
Really speaking, in Zhang Wu's words, the number of people at this year's banquet is already very, very large.
Then...Xu Xin saw everyone he was supposed to meet.
People from the working group and the organizing committee are also here tonight.
He actually wanted to ask for a group photo...but it's not realistic after careful consideration.
just sat at the table belonging to the director group honestly.
Stand up to welcome, applaud, listen to the speech, and finally start the banquet.
The food is quite elegant.
The taste of Moutai is slightly different from the outside.
As for the taste of the dishes... To be honest, the difference is not that big.
And there is no boiled cabbage today.
is the standard four dishes and one soup, divided meals.
What you eat is not food, what you drink is not wine, but glory.
As long as I sit here, I have a... very inexplicable feeling.
Xu Xin couldn't say why.
But after drinking a glass of wine, his whole body felt a little hot.
The flame is burning brightly.
…
It can’t be said that the wine has gone through three rounds, nor can it be considered that the dishes have tasted five flavors.
But the leader came over to drink with everyone.
Several people came at the same time.
Everyone quickly stood up respectfully.
As the chief director, Director Zhang must be the first target to bear the brunt.
In the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, he was actually the hardest one.
So it seems "reasonable".
Xu Xin originally thought that he was just a foil, but after everyone finished the cup together, suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder.
Turn around and look...
A...unfamiliar leader.
is looking at him with burning eyes.
"Xiao Xu."
He said:
"Let's touch one."
"Well…"
Xu Xin opened his mouth.
Do you know each other?
do not know.
May come to drink, people who walk around...
He nodded quickly after reacting, holding the cup in both hands respectfully and said:
"I respect you..."
He was actually quite flattered, until... after he drank the glass of wine, he heard the other party pat himself on the shoulder and say "thank you".
The sound is not loud.
But Xu Xin was dumbfounded.
what's the situation?
But the other party didn't say anything, just smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and then left.
He became the only person at the table who had an extra drink with the leader alone.
"???"
Holding the wine cup, Xu Xin was at a loss.
Subconsciously looking at the two directors...
I found that the two of them were actually quite confused.
what's the situation?
Thanks?
Yes...thank me? Or would you like to thank everyone for their hard work for the Olympics?
It must be the latter, right?
Leadership...very emotional.
probably…
…
October 1st.
The news that the directors and staff of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games were invited to the dinner was broadcast on the news network.
October 2nd.
The crew of "Sword and Sword III" announced that they had finished filming.
The entire episode was put into intense post-production.
A reporter photographed Yang Mi showing up at Yanjing Airport at 3:00 p.m., taking the staff around her into a commercial vehicle and driving away.
…
"Hey, Dad, I'm back... I won't go back to eat, I'll go directly to Xu Xin's."
In the car, after Yang Mi held up the phone and finished speaking, Yang Dalin on the other end of the phone seemed to say something, but Yang Mi shook her head:
"Never mind that, Dad, it's important to me that I want this show right away."
"…Yes, very important."
"Okay, I really don't have time to cook. Hehe...I wish I could."
"Well, then I will clean up a room for you when I go back."
"No, there are a lot of empty rooms at home...Okay, but usually you and my mother don't care how I get along with Xu Xin. We can be said to have broken up temporarily at this stage. He is a director and I am an actor. You understand my mean?"
"Oh no, what do you think? Didn't you say that this play is very important to me, and I proposed it on my own initiative. This is the working status of an actor. So I will be difficult, and he will also become difficult Fuck. No matter what you two see, just pretend it doesn't exist. You know?"
"Hmm... Then I'll clean it up when I get home. The house isn't too messy. Tonight is..."
Yang Mi glanced at Sun Ting, then at Wu Qiqi, and finally at Zhang Jiao who was sitting in the back row.
"Count you two, seven people."
"Okay, then I want to eat stewed noodles and pork ribs. Xu Xin is happy to eat the cucumber stick cold dish you made...Okay, then I don't worry about it. You two will come after buying the vegetables, okay?"
"Uh-huh…"
After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi said directly:
"Brother Cheng, I won't take you with me for dinner tonight. Hurry up and go home to accompany your wife and children."
Cheng Hu, who didn't talk much at first, nodded silently.
Yang Mi stretched out her hand to Sun Ting who was sitting next to her, and Sun Ting tacitly handed over a red envelope.
"This is Xinxin's birthday gift, a big red envelope from Auntie~"
"Thank you, Mr. Yang."
Cheng Hu took it without hesitation.
Yang Mi responded, then turned to Wu Qiqi and said:
"Qiqi, you are in charge of arranging Jiaojiao's residence."
After speaking, he reached out to Sun Ting again.
Sun Ting took out another thick red envelope like a magic trick:
"Jiaojiao, take it."
"Well…"
Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment before subconsciously taking it.
"Buy some daily necessities... Then, you are with me every day these few days, understand? Let Tingting and Qiqi take turns to rest for a while. You will not stop, and quickly familiarize yourself with the working environment."
"Okay... yes, Miss Mi."
"Um."
After giving the order, Yang Mi didn't say a word, but leaned on the seat and meditated quietly.
There is no thought on his face.
Just silence.
"I'm Gu Xiaomeng."
"I do not have a boyfriend."
"I'm Gu Xiaomeng."
"I...will not have a boyfriend until tomorrow."
that is it.
So, the business car arrived at the entrance of the alley, Yang Mi didn't bother to take care of the luggage behind, lowered the brim of her hat, got out of the car, and ran into the house.
The weather in Yanjing in October is quite comfortable, neither hot nor cold.
Yang Mi saw her fiancé walking out of the linen room with a rag in his hand at a glance.
"I'm Gu...I'm Yang Mi."
"I do not have a boyfriend."
"I have a fiancé..."
"I saw my fiancé."
"I've always missed this guy..."
"No, no, you have to calm down, I'm Gu Xiao..."
"Well, I'm a Don Quixote!"
…
"..."
"..."
"..."
Zhang Jiao stood at the door, a little embarrassed.
Glanced at Sun Ting, then at Wu Qiqi...
"Sister Tingting... shall we... just leave like this? Don't we care about Sister Mi?"
Hearing this, Sun Ting, who has become accustomed to seeing it as a strange thing, shook her head:
"It's the two of us leaving, we can rest. You have to stay here, do whatever Sister Mi asks you to do, and remember to write down some habits of Sister Mi or Brother Xu in the notebook. Whether it's eating Taste preference, or some small habits. These are all acquired by getting along with each other day and night. Do you know?"
"Well…"
Zhang Jiao suddenly blushed:
"OK."
"Well, then we're leaving. Do you know the address of the house Kiki and I rented?"
"I know. Then I'll take a taxi there later?"
"Well, Sister Mi is going to bed, or if you want to leave, you can just take a taxi. Kiki also has a set of bedding and other washing, and I will buy a new one for you in the next two days. Be careful, you know? "
"OK."
Zhang Jiao nodded quickly, and then... it seemed that there was something unspeakable.
After hesitating again and again, he looked at the two people standing by the side of the road with their suitcases in their hands, and said in a low voice:
"Then... shall I just stand here and wait?"
Sun Ting turned her head and looked at her with red eyes, a little speechless.
"Aren't you afraid of the sun?"
"But...but they're in there..."
"Just pretend you can't hear. At this time, don't take your ears and mouth...Of course, it's okay if you want to stand here. But you can think about it..."
Speaking of this, she and Wu Qiqi put on a playful smile on their faces at the same time:
"Stop talking for an hour. What's more, the two haven't seen each other for so long...at least this amount."
Sun Ting raised three fingers:
"If you want to post...then post it. Hehehe..."
"Hey hey hey hey..."
Both she and Wu Qiqi laughed out loud.
At this time, a taxi came.
The two quickly reached out their hands.
Then left Zhang Jiao here and walked away.
"..."
Seeing the two leave as soon as they said they would, Zhang Jiao suddenly felt that the two were a little inappropriate.
Selling teammates is really thorough.
But now she looked at the quiet courtyard behind her again...
After thinking for a while, he took out his phone:
"Baozi, I'm in Yanjing."
"Yeah, have you seen Director Xu?"
Zhao Liying replied almost in seconds.
How attached are you to Director Xu? Hey!
Zhang Jiao was speechless, but she replied honestly:
"No, when I entered the room with my luggage, Director Xu had already dragged Sister Mi into the room."
"?"
Zhao Liying first responded with a question mark.
But right away:
"Wow!!! Jiaojiao!!! Wow!!!"
Seeing this message, Zhang Jiao sighed helplessly.
have to.
You also know a lot.
But when the second article came out, her face turned dark...
"Go and record the time, how long. Do you remember, Xiaomei said that the producer she talked to was less than five minutes! Go and listen, remember to tell me, wow, super curious!"
? ? ? ? ?
Zhang Jiao, whose head was full of question marks, was speechless, and replied two words:
"Color embryo!"
Zhao Liying is not replying.
But based on her understanding of her friends, she probably doesn't want to waste this dime text message with meaningless "hahaha".
well…
Feeling a bit speechless, Zhang Jiao turned her head and walked into the small courtyard, closing the door at the same time.
…
"What about Liang Bingning?"
Arched in her boyfriend's arms, she asked.
After unraveling her lovesickness, her sanity was back online.
Xu Xin didn't speak first, but buried her head on her back to absorb the taste of day and night thoughts.
After a while, a sentence came:
"Recently she asked me out about...five or six times. I went out twice, but I kept dragging her. If nothing else, it should be announced after the 50th anniversary of the factory."
"50th Anniversary...November 8?"
"Um."
November 8 this year is the big day for the 50th anniversary celebration of Xiying Film Studio, and there will be a big celebration in the factory.
As for Liang Bingning, it was decided to announce it at that time.
But only a few people know about this news.
For the same reason, the specific news of "The Wind" will be announced at that time.
So, after hearing the specific time, Yang Mi nodded:
"OK... when do the auditions start?"
"It's also November."
"Hmm... then, with this calculation, plus studio preparations, can filming start at the end of the year?"
"Almost, if it goes well, the interior scenes will probably be filmed a year ago. But the details still depend on how well you actors get along."
Speaking of this, he suddenly felt his girlfriend's goosebumps.
After thinking for a while, he said softly from behind her:
"It's okay, don't be nervous. I'm here~"
"…Um."
Yang Mi suddenly turned around, and her whole body was buried in Xu Xin's chest.
"elder brother."
"Um?"
"I will not let you down!"
"Ha, I know~"
As he spoke, he put his hand on his fiancée's back and patted it gently.
While listening to his strong heartbeat, Yang Mi asked:
"How are you going to start?"
"Actually, this play is basically a literary play. I plan to start from two aspects. First, I will go through all the plays from you."
"...say?"
"For example, script reading, such as wooden figures."
As soon as Yang Mi said this, she understood.
Script reading, also called script reading meeting.
It means that the actors gather together under the leadership of the director, and act according to the lines of their respective characters.
Actor's lines are a very important and very important knowledge.
It's like what I said when I was chatting with Brother Qian Er, it's an art of language.
Sometimes a sentence, a word, or even a wrong modal particle will produce a different effect.
Therefore, reading around has become an important part of the preparatory work of the script.
Everyone speaks their lines through their own understanding.
What is wrong, the director will correct it.
Because the whole film is run through by the director's thinking, after the actors say something, the director thinks something is wrong and changes it. Or it can be discussed on both sides.
It is not considered a formal shooting, the atmosphere is relaxed and there is no pressure.
But the same is of substantial help to the movie.
And the other wooden man is even simpler.
To put it bluntly, it is a simulated performance.
The literal interpretation is to perform against the wooden man.
After the lines are over, Yang Mi will use her acting skills to integrate the role of "Gu Xiaomeng" over and over again in the simulated scene.
Don't worry about other people.
As long as Xu Xin says yes, it's fine.
Both are very effective ways to improve character control.
What is not good can be turned into ordinary or excellent.
And what is excellent can become even better.
Because if you can act like this against wood, then you will be able to perform better when performing against suitable actors.
Therefore, Yang Mi nodded:
"That requires Jin Shenghuo, Bai Xiaonian, Li Ningyu, Wu Zhiguo, Wang Tianxiang, Wu Tian..."
"Well, there are enough people, leaving me and you aside, Tingting, Qiqi, Zhang Jiao, oh yes, the old wolf also thinks this is very interesting, and plans to come over to join in the fun. The rest are looking for two people, are there any people? ?”
"When does it begin?"
"Tomorrow, you have been preparing for a year. During this time, you are training, boy, let us dominate the country!"
"Poof..."
Yang Mi burst into laughter instantly.
"Slam dunk? I've become Sakuragi Hanamichi? What are you? Haruko?...Eh, let alone, you look alike. Isn't Haruko Sakuragi's first teacher?"
"Well…"
...
Suddenly felt a little nervous.
The words seem to be correct, and the plot is also comparable.
But why is it so awkward?
"You... what are you doing?"
But hearing this, Yang Mi nodded:
"Okay! But hurry up, my parents are going grocery shopping, and they will be our babysitters during this time."
"..."
no…
That’s not what I meant...
…
"Hoo..."
Hearing this sound, Zhang Jiao looked at Sister Mi who came out of the house...
There is a feeling in a trance.
Sister Mi seems to have just come out of the bathroom.
There is that kind of...comfortable and relaxed feeling all over the body, the kind of comfortable washing...Oh, it's a strange feeling anyway.
You don’t know whether she feels comfortable after washing, steaming, or rubbing with salt and milk.
Or went upstairs...
But in short, she exudes a very comfortable feeling from the inside out.
And the bottom line is…
After she came out, she just nodded to herself, then raised the thermos cup on the tea table in the living room, and gurgled down a large glass of water.
After drinking it all, he burped.
The society is in a mess.
Zhang Jiao also likes this... After taking a comfortable bath in the bathhouse, while the waiter was bringing her shoes, she took out a bottle of iced black tea or Huierkang red apples from the freezer. Down in one breath.
Next step...is it time to hand cards?
While thinking about it, Yang Mi suddenly grabbed a car key on the table:
"Give."
"..."
"You have the key to this car, and you can get familiar with it when you have time. Don't you know my figure? Go buy some autumn and winter clothes to match these few days."
"Okay...okay."
Looking at the shield logo above, Zhang Jiao just nodded when she heard the movement behind:
"Here we come."
She turned her head quickly, looked at Xu Xin and greeted respectfully:
"Director Xu."
"Um."
Xu Xin nodded with a smile, and walked to Yang Mi's side.
After seeing that the water in the thermos cup was empty, I was a little speechless:
"Can't you drink what's in your own cup? ... Then no, I'll make it for you."
He pointed to another thermos.
But Yang Mi shrugged:
"I like to drink from your glass..."
"..."
Helplessly, Xu Xin picked up his fiancée's cup and started gurgling...
"Mom, these two really use their home as a bathroom."
Zhang Jiao was a little confused.
Unknown why, Xu Xin drank all the water in the glass in one go, and then burped:
"Hic~"
are exactly the same.
…
To tell the truth, Xu Xin quite likes to eat the dishes cooked by his future father-in-law.
The craftsmanship handed down by the old Yang family is really not bad.
But he didn't drink tonight.
He is actually not greedy for alcohol, but the "old man" has come to the house, can't he have a drink?
But Yang Mi didn't give in.
Don't let him drink, and don't let Dad drink either.
Mom can’t drive safely at night, and dad doesn’t live here, so he leaves after dinner and will come over at noon tomorrow.
It’s like commuting.
So don't drink.
What's more, there are work matters at night.
And Yang Dalin felt relieved seeing that his daughter and future son-in-law didn't "really break up", and at the same time was quite puzzled, his daughter looked very pretty looking for this assistant.
Luckily, it was my daughter who found it. Otherwise, if Xiao Xu found it, he might be muttering in his heart.
After eating, the couple left.
But I asked the menu in advance what the "son-in-law" would like to eat tomorrow.
…
Zhang Jiao got in touch with Xu Xin and Yang Mi privately on the first day, but she was actually quite nervous.
However, she gradually discovered an advantage of Director Xu.
That is to pay attention to the difference between men and women.
Obviously I had a meal and went to take a shower because of the sweat on my body, but I was still wearing underwear when I came out.
It doesn’t mean that she came out in underwear directly.
Instead, she was wearing a set of loose vest and big pants, with underwear inside.
Don't ask her how she saw it.
Anyway, I just saw it.
Moreover, she also got a script called "The Wind".
"This is…"
"I'm going to help her hone the role of Gu Xiaomeng in this few days, and you will be a role in the script reading meeting."
"..."
Hearing Xu Xin's words, for some reason, Zhang Jiao's heart gradually began to ripple.
Really... It’s been a long time since I touched the script.
For a moment, she was a little nervous.
And Xu Xin also saw her nervousness, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, don't be afraid, it's not to test your acting skills. You just need to take over the role for her. This is specially for honing her...your acting skills..."
Recalling Huang Jinjia, Xu Xin didn't belittle her somewhat contrived performance, but just comforted her:
"I can't reach this level for the time being. It needs to be polished."
"Okay, Director Xu."
Zhang Jiao responded.
But…
Although she knew that Director Xu was telling the truth, it was inevitable that she was still a little disappointed.
And at this moment, a phone call broke the tranquility in the living room.
Yang Mi, who was concentrating on reading the script, frowned. After looking at her phone, she was taken aback.
Then the phone was connected:
"Hey, what's up?"
Xu Xin didn't know who it was, so he didn't care.
Instead, he took the script and began to think about what qualities he needed Yang Mi to show.
At this time, I heard Yang Mi's words:
"Tomorrow?... Well, not tomorrow. I have something to do... Hey, wait."
As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Xin...
Suddenly glanced at Zhang Jiao again.
seems to be calculating something.
went on to say:
"I'm going to start preparing for a role tomorrow, would you like to come to the reading session?"
Hearing this, Xu Xin also looked over.
Seeing Yang Mi was taken aback:
"Read the script."
"No, no, no, it's not our kind of dialogue, it's a reading. Have you ever participated in the reading?"
“…It can be said that the lines are correct, but it is more like a kind of preparation for the actors to preview the lines and prepare for the role. You haven’t participated in it? The directors of the few plays you participated in didn’t hold round readings?”
"Ah, sister. Then you are also a gifted person, hehehehe~"
"Then you come over tomorrow, I happen to have few people here. This play is my husband's play..."
Xu Xin's ears trembled.
This title...
It sounds so comfortable.
Although a bit greasy.
Brother Wu is pleasing to the ears.
But… he likes it.
"Okay, there are no outsiders anyway, come on. You will have to participate sooner or later in the future. Some directors still value the script reading."
"Okay, then tomorrow..."
Speaking of this, she cast her eyes on Xu Xin.
Xu Xin thought for a while, and drew a "9" gesture with his strokes.
Yang Mi understood in seconds:
"Nine o'clock, how about it?"
"Okay. Let's have dinner together at noon. We were mostly unfamiliar with each other last time. Let's get to know each other this time."
"Well, okay, then I'll hang up."
"Uh-huh."
The phone hung up, Xu Xin asked in bewilderment:
"Who is it?"
"Liu Zhishi."
Yang Mi fiddled with the phone, and after answering, she held the phone up to her ear before continuing:
"Aren't there still a few characters... Hey, Dad. Are you home yet?"
"Let me tell you, don't buy pork tomorrow, and then... I'll let Jiaojiao go home in a while. You haven't used the Amway pot I bought for you last time, have you?"
"Okay, I'll ask Jiaojiao to get it. I'll buy mutton and beef tomorrow. A Muslim friend is coming to my house for dinner."
"Ok, I know."
"Okay, I'll hang up then, good night."
The phone hung up, she turned to look at Zhang Jiao again and said:
"Go home and bring a new set of pots and utensils. Then, if you pass by any hardware store or supermarket, go buy a new set of tableware. Go now ~ let's go ~ there is navigation in the car, and you can fiddle with it yourself."
"OK."
Zhang Jiao nodded and got up quickly.
It's getting late now, so hurry up.
And Xu Xin asked in bewilderment:
"Is Liu Zhishi a Muslim?"
"right."
"...When did the relationship between you two become so good?"
"Well... I said I picked her up with a jar of fried sauce, do you believe it?"
"..."
Xu Xin didn't believe it.
On the contrary, I feel a little absurd:
"I hear what you mean, she hasn't even participated in the reading session? ... Didn't she come from a major? Ye Luzi?"
Yang Mi nodded:
"It's okay to say Ye Luzi, she graduated from Beiwu. So the current situation is actually similar to Lun'er before. The things about acting skills are actually from the acting training class. After being trained by the Tang people as Liu Yifei, please Although your acting teacher is very good... But you also know, after all, she didn't come out of school, and her foundation is very poor. After you left, I gave her a lot of advice while filming, and then we chatted quite well... And, let me tell you secretly a secret?"
A gossip flashed in her eyes:
"She told me personally that as long as she becomes popular, no matter what the company arranges, she will get rid of little Liu Yifei's hat... She hates this name, because she was mistaken for Liu Yifei and cried secretly..."
"...Does this count as picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the chopsticks to scold mother?"
Hearing Xu Xin's words, Yang Mi shook her head:
"Forget it, but if someone says brother you are Xiao Zhang Yimou, don't you feel comfortable?"
"True?"
"Sure."
"I think it's a compliment to who I am now."
"Well…"
Yang Mi was stunned...
Then nodded, and said with some emotion:
"You really have a big heart... Indeed, I would be happy if you want me. National teacher... Is that an ordinary person?"
"Okay, let's start, let's make a show first."
Hearing this, Yang Mi nodded:
"OK, wait for me."
After finishing speaking, she walked into the house.
Xu Xin waited for about two or three minutes.
There was a "da da da" sound.
Stepping on wedge shoes, wearing a black cheongsam and her hair tied up, Yang Mi walked out step by step.
I have no interest in playing around.
If she used to be so tall and low that she put on a charming pose to hook up with her fiance.
But not this time.
Cheongsam should be dignified, graceful and elegant.
not coquettish.
So, the waistline of her cheongsam is not obvious, and the hem of the skirt doesn't have any hint of "come out with two curtains" in the mouth of Qian'er.
Wearing a decent embroidered cheongsam, she stood in the middle of the living room.
Looked directly at Xu Xin:
"Hello, Gu Xiaomeng."
"..."
Xu Xin was really surprised.
Because it was just this sound, he had a sense of déjà vu of "Miss".
Not kitsch, nor graceful.
is not considered superior.
But the sense of superiority in his bones cannot be faked.
As the brother of "Wang Puppet", he donated a JU52 aircraft to Wang Puppet. Miss Gu's family has a prominent family background, and there are really not many things that can make her scruple in China.
So, the natural sense of superiority was directly revealed through the sentence "Hello, Gu Xiaomeng".
Only 5 characters.
But through the changes in speech speed and pitch, and because she is standing, Xu Xin is sitting down and condescending, which is vividly reflected.
It seems that this place has become an audition scene...or an occasion where she needs to introduce herself.
All of a sudden, Xu Xin completely remembered her.
Just this sentence.
Xu Xin nodded:
"Um…"
Speaking of this, he lowered his head, flipped through the script, and suddenly said:
"You prepare for this paragraph."
The condescending spirit stopped immediately, she took the script, and watched the scene Xu Xin was pointing at:
"Li Ningyu's eyes suddenly turned red, staring at Gu Xiaomeng."
"Gu Xiaomeng hurriedly asked: What's wrong?"
"Li Ningyu: Liu Linzong has disappeared for several days."
"Gu Xiaomeng is silent."
Pointing to the script, Xu Xin said:
"Here I want to see three things. The first is Li Ningyu snuggling in your arms, the pity in your eyes. The second, I want to see the accident that is not unexpected in your eyes. The third is Wu Zhiguo's "Empty City Plan" "When it sounded, restrain all the clear listening, and the last one when "Li Ningyu walked to the balcony curiously", in the close-up shot...you need to express something..."
Before the words fell, Yang Mi said:
"At this time, Gu Xiaomeng should be shocked and not sure. Right?"
Xu Xin didn't need to say much, she said by herself:
"I was shocked because the singing of this scene was a secret signal for the underground party. I am not sure because Wu Zhiguo has not yet started to change. Then, after the two met, Gu Xiaomeng and the two of them "Tangshan Leting" In the dialogue between "people", there should be a kind of joy, but it cannot be seen by others. This whole scene is actually a psychological change on the sixth level."
Now, Xu Xin was really surprised.
Raising his eyebrows in surprise, he looked at his fiancée who began to pace back and forth with her eyes narrowed...
After a while, I stood in front of the mirror and the performance began.
Although she was standing, she seemed to be holding someone on her shoulder in her arms.
Xu Xin said appropriately:
"Liu Linzong has been missing for several days."
Then he narrowed his eyes, quietly watching the changes she showed.
After a while...
"Wait, I'll do this again."
Xu Xin didn't need to say more, she rubbed her face.
Just a moment more...
"Still not right...wait, give me a few more minutes."
The effort of a cigarette.
"Three weights, two weights are missing, you let me think about it, here is what I showed in the mirror at the time..."
half an hour.
"Actually, the solution here has a more extreme and exaggerated expressiveness. Let's see if you can accept this."
One hour…
Xu Xin has hardly spoken since he put forward the request for this scene.
Because he didn’t need to speak, after Yang Mi showed her dissatisfaction several times in a row through the micro-expressions controlled by her eyes, mouth, and even facial muscles, she overturned the whole paragraph herself.
And, in front of him, tried for a full hour.
Different performance, different mental activities, different body language.
If it was a normal shoot, it would definitely not be good, because the director at least had to tell her what was wrong.
But this is also the purpose of the two of them from reading to the wooden man now.
It doesn’t matter whether you are reading or a wooden man.
The service object is only one person.
That is to help Yang Mi clear up the whole role of "Gu Xiaomeng".
So let's not say it's an hour.
Even for a day, Xu Xin is willing to spend it here with her.
Don't worry about whether you are satisfied or not.
You are satisfied first, and then ask me if I am satisfied.
This is the most basic requirement.
It is also the meaning of the existence of Wai Du and the wooden man.
