On September [-]th, "Xiao Xiao" officially launched.
Thanks to Lan Yu's professional publicity, Blue River's own news value, and Ye Xiu's nature of always causing bloodbaths, this time the launch was highly valued by the media, and the reporters surrounded him on three floors.Chen Guo was ready to fight. Although Xingxin was poor, it was not bad. Unexpectedly, this approach pushed the situation forward, and the opening ceremony was held even more grandly.
After the procedure of similarities with minor differences is over, the next step is the press conference.The reporters all set up their short cannons, and after taking enough pictures of Blue River, they immediately turned the topic to Ye Xiu.
"May I ask if you left Excellent Era to join Xingxin because you had a conflict of interest with Excellent Era?"
"May I ask you to change from Ye Qiu to Ye Xiu suddenly, what would you like to say to your fans who have been deceived by you for ten years?"
"What do you think of the low reputation of "Weaving Shadows"?"
"Have you communicated with Excellent Era before choosing a new owner? Is your behavior a breach of contract?"
"The new movie "Life" prepared by Excellent Era was also launched last month. The director is Mr. Xiao Shiqin of Lei Ting. Judging from the current progress, you are confident that you can win against your old club in the future. ?"
"The stock of Excellent Era has continued to fall due to the bad reputation of "Weaving Shadow". May I ask if you should take the corresponding responsibility instead of evading it now?"
Sitting next to Ye Xiu, Lan He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.The whole venue was filled with cameras and journalists' questions one after another, which made people's brains swell, but after reaching their hearts, there was a silence as if the whole person was struggling in the deep sea. Everyone except the crew was like smelling the cake. Like a mouse, he waited for Ye Xiu's answer.The irony is that no matter what he answers or doesn't answer, it doesn't make any difference in essence.
This is an era of entertainment.In fact, no one is wrong.
Lan He wanted to do something, to disperse the firepower gathered on Ye Xiu to himself - at least, please don't ask these very embarrassing questions anymore.He wanted to say that "Xiao Xiao" is a very good movie that is worth looking forward to. We have done our best, please wait and see.It's true that Ye Xiu left Excellent Era to join Happy, but he couldn't slap him, so why couldn't he see what Excellent Era did to Ye Xiu?
However, Blue River couldn't do anything.There is really too much difference between the two of them in coffee position, and my little gimmick is not worth the hot spot of Ye Xiu's profile.He could only force his eyes not to turn to Ye Xiu, stay still, don't add even the slightest bit of pressure to him, and don't create any unfavorable news for him and for this movie.
But Ye Xiu was Ye Xiu after all, facing the press of the reporters, he changed his posture very calmly, just lowered his eyes and coughed lightly, and he immediately suppressed the noisy scene.He raised his eyelids, showing the wanton smile that Lan He had seen countless times on the screen, and said confidently: "Everyone is so noisy, the host doesn't know who to point to. However, I'll give you a general answer first. Just a question."
He let himself lean back in the chair more comfortably, and continued: "First, my name is indeed Ye Xiu now, and Ye Qiu is the stage name I used to use; I took a lot of responsibility, so I chose to leave Excellent Era; third, I also watched Excellent Era step by step from the size of the studio to the present, as a former member of it, I hope it will get better and better; Fourth, this is the press conference of my new movie "Xiao Xiao", and I will only answer questions related to "Xiao Xiao", and I will not respond to the rest. Thank you."
The entire venue was silent for almost a minute, only the host was still dryly saving the scene, but the reporters below looked at each other without any response.Looking at them, Lan He couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, Ye Xiu is really... too powerful.
After the start-up farce was over, the proprietress treated the guests to dinner.The entire production crew was full of [-] people. Although there were not many people, they were familiar with each other, and everyone was not polite to each other, so they had a lively meal.Ye Xiu and Wei Chen's daily verbal battle was staged as usual, making Lan He laugh all the time and his cheeks hurting.But after the hustle and bustle, he looked carefully at the person opposite, but felt that he was not really happy.Lan He shook his head, trying to get rid of these mixed emotions, admonishing himself not to use his own small pattern to try to guess other people's thoughts.
In order to catch up with the progress, I started shooting without waiting for the boot, and now I am finally on the right track.Chen Guo was happy, and ordered another case of beer to celebrate.Seeing that everyone on the table was secretly looking at him, Ye Xiu didn't even think about it, and immediately pissed off.
Although he was a little bit out of his mind before, he was not unhappy. He was angry when he heard the reporter's words, and it was fine after the matter passed.He's just a little anxious.Ye Xiu had already seen the synopsis of Excellent Era's new film "Life" on the Internet. It was a real commercial blockbuster. It used Excellent Era's most mature 3D technology to tell the catastrophic scene of the end of the world.Xiao Shiqin is one of the "Four Directors" alongside Ye Xiu. He is best at telling stories in a nutshell, and it complements a theme like the end of the world that can arouse humanistic care.
Since Excellent Era still wants to go the old way, Ye Xiu can't say anything now.But now the tricky thing is that they've hit gears.
Both Ye Xiu and Excellent Era aimed at the fat sheep of domestic protection moon.
As he walked back, he patted his forehead and sighed.It should have been thought of a long time ago, although "Weaving Shadow" finally ended with [-] million box office, which is considered a good result, but for Excellent Era, this cannot make up for the two consecutive years of losses.The financial report is not good, and the funds are not easy to operate, so there is an urgent need for a movie to boost morale.
However, there is no turning back when there is no turning back. The most important thing is to do well now.Ye Xiu returned to the hotel, turned on the camera and began to read the bits and pieces he had filmed a few days ago.The opening chapter of the movie is three long shots after the war, and the list of main creators is matched as it advances.It was raining that day, a messy battlefield, dark city walls, deserted streets, the cries of women and children, and then the execution ground, where all the accomplices with Cao Shuang were beheaded.The camera was stained red with blood, slowly moved up, the rain evened out the blood, and finally the dark cloudy sky filled the entire camera.
Ye Xiu is a typical old-school director who pays attention to live-action shooting and has extremely high demands on the extras. During this 3-minute period, he and Wei Chen struggled for a whole day, and the group performances were also exhausting. What did Ye Xiu look like back then.
Later, they went to a nearby mountain to film the scene, and it was also Ye Xiu's first scene.He met Luo Ji, who was playing Taoist Sun Deng, and Ye Xiu saluted him, but Luo Ji ignored him, but after getting far away, he turned to him and said, "You have a strong character and great talent, so you can avoid it."Ye Xiu smiled and bid farewell without saying a word.
This section is in the middle and late stages of the entire film, and it is also a turning point in the plot.Because Ji Kang's mother died soon, Shan Tao came to invite him to be an official. He wrote the "Letter of Breaking Friendship with Shan Juyuan", and then testified for Lu An's case.
This section is very simple, but the filming is not very smooth.When Luo Ji faced the camera for the first time, he was very nervous, his facial expression was stiff, his limbs were uncoordinated, and his lines were emotionless. Wei Chen sat in front of the camera and sighed.That day was an extremely rare sunny day in September. Although the mountains were shady and cool, but there were many robots, it was still as hot as a steamer.Luo Ji was wearing a Taoist robe, and his forehead was covered with sweat. Qiao Yifan comforted him while helping him touch up his makeup, saying don't worry, take your time, everyone is like this when they are acting for the first time.But the more anxious Luo Ji became, the more mistakes he made, and he almost cried in the end.
Lan He wasn't there that day, he was still working hard as a supervisor in the film and television city.Facing Luo Ji's anxiety, everyone was a little helpless.Ye Xiu waved his hand and told everyone to rest, while he rolled up his sleeves to his shoulders and sat next to Luo Ji.Qiao Yifan, who was idle, silently poured water on the staff to cool off the heat, while secretly looking at Ye Xiu, worried that if Director Ye got angry, he would rush to try to persuade him to fight.
But no.Ye Xiu just followed Luo Ji's back, saying, don't feel pressured, NG is normal, otherwise how could "One Autumn Leaf" have been filmed for three years.Luo Ji smiled wryly, but I delayed everyone's progress.
How can there be any process.Ye Xiu smiled while smoking, and pulled the iron bucket beside him to make an ashtray: I said before today's start, today's play is just this short part, and it will be in the future.As the old saying goes, it takes a long time for a good show. You need time, and I need time too.
Luo Ji calmed down for a while, and wanted to ask him what time you were waiting for, but Ye Xiu had already lost his eyes again, with cigarette butts on his knuckles, trembling as soon as the mountain wind passed.Sensing that Luo Ji was looking at him, he also smiled and said, I also need time to start all over again.
After Luo Ji calmed down, he continued filming.Although there are still many problems, they can already accurately receive Ye Xiu's opinions and make corresponding adjustments.Ye Xiu has always wanted to read this passage again, and sometimes mistakes can give people inspiration.
He sat in front of the computer and was contented, but the restaurant on the other side had already exploded for him - halfway through the meal, the director lost it, which is unacceptable to anyone.An Wenyi searched for the private room from the bathroom, but there was no one there. Chen Guo became so angry that she picked up her cell phone to call him, only to find that this person threw the phone on the dining table and ran away.
Wei Chen looked at them with an expression of "you are still too young", and finally decided, this guy's mobile phone has been just a decoration for so many years, you don't need to look for him, the scourge will last for thousands of years, he definitely doesn't want to drink and go back early .
Among them, Wei Chen was the one who had known Ye Xiu for the longest time. Now that he had said that, everyone stopped being entangled and continued drinking and talking.After drinking, it is easy to talk too much. This is probably a common problem on Chinese men's drinking table. Seeing that it is almost ten o'clock and Wei Chen and Baozi still have no signs of stopping, Chen Guo waved his hand, directly paid the bill, and immediately left. Go back to the hotel and go to work as usual tomorrow.While paying for it, he still didn't forget to ask the kitchen to add another dish for Ye Xiu. This man left too early, obviously he hasn't eaten much yet.
Lan He was helping to carry a few drunks beside him, and couldn't help but feel emotional.For Xingxin, Ye Xiu is the pillar, and Chen Guo is the head of the family. The atmosphere they brought up in Xingxin is not only about taking care of each other and being close as a family, but in fact, it is more about the word "sincerity".Be true to yourself, be true to the movie, and be true to others.
The hotel was not too far from the hotel, and there weren't many people on the road in the middle of the night, so the boys from Lanhe Luoji tossed back and forth twice before sending all these drunks back to their rooms.Ye Xiu didn't sleep when he went back, there was a mess of wires and white papers on the table, there were the storyboards he drew, points to be noticed tomorrow, and minor changes to the script.The kettle was buzzing, and there was an unsealed bowl of instant noodles next to it, and I was smoking in the bathroom, when I saw Lan He coming back, I waved the cigarette in my hand as a greeting.
"Stop eating instant noodles, Sister Chen ordered two new dishes for you." Lan He tidied up the books on the two people's shared bedside table, put the takeaway box next to it, and put two sheets of toilet paper on it.Ye Xiu hurriedly pinched his cigarette, walked over quickly and said that the proprietress is really a savior, brother is going to starve to death.Lan He smiled a little stiffly, and suddenly remembered that he had to return the phone to him, saying that next time he should not throw it away, or else he would be in serious trouble.
Ye Xiu was probably really hungry and devoured his food, but he still couldn't take his eyes off the script at hand, so he just nodded indiscriminately and said, "I know, I know, there are still you guys."
Lan He didn't reply, and walked to the bathroom with his pajamas.He pulled out the plug of the kettle and pushed it, along with the instant noodles, to the back of the table, which was out of the way.
The water pressure of the rain was mediocre, and the hot water splashed on my body, which felt like a soft touch.The fog was steaming, Lan He wiped his face, feeling a little inexplicably jealous.
Jealous of those who are enough to leave traces in his life.
wrong.He shook his head and looked at the dim ceiling again.
Not jealousy, but longing.
