Chapter 63: The Ghost Lingers
Bai Xi still took Xia Xia and Bai Zhongqiu to meet Director Zhou, who was busy and idle, looking at Director Zhou's hairline moving backwards day by day, listening to him explain to himself and Bai Zhongqiu the various requirements of filming advertisements like a kind elder, the nose of summer was sour, and he couldn't bear to let the little golden beans that gushed out in his eyes jump out in an instant.
Seriously calculated, I have known Director Zhou for ten years in the summer, and the two have collaborated on seven or eight movies, the movie in which I debuted as a child star in the summer, Director Zhou also made a cameo appearance in it, and played against Xia Youguo several times. At that time, Director Zhou was favored by Director Zhou in the summer, and he felt that if this child wanted to become an actor, there would be absolutely no problem, and he would become a very good actor. What happened later also proved that Director Zhou was not wrong, the summer did shine on the road of film, and he won all kinds of awards, whether at home or abroad, but it's a pity that Director Zhou is looking forward to the Lifetime Achievement Award is completely unrelated to him.
Director Zhou didn't notice that there was something wrong with the summer love, and still told the two children the main points. Recently, Director Zhou's liver fire has been a little strong, his temper is not very good, and he looks very kind, but this is also because Xia Xia and Bai Zhongqiu are smart, and he can react immediately to what he says. If you change to two children who are stupid and slow to react, and cry twice by the way, it is estimated that Zhou Daodou wants to slap the table and scold.
This can't blame Director Zhou for being too irritable, in fact, although Director Zhou is not very good at talking on weekdays, but he will not lose his temper if he wants to lose his temper, according to the words of summer, Director Zhou belongs to the kind of person who usually looks very majestic, not so easy to get angry, so-so, and passable, but if he starts a temper, it can be described as a blockbuster, it is really very terrifying. And it's not too easy to make Director Zhou lose his temper, usually when his temper is the worst when the work is about to be completed, and when it is about to be released, just like this time.
Director Zhou also knew his shortcomings, but he couldn't control it, if it weren't for the persuasion of the people around him, he wouldn't have come to see Bai Xi and them. Speaking of which, his newly completed work has entered the most critical link in the later stage, and every time he reaches this period, he can't spare any time, and he doesn't work overtime for three days, five days or a week, which is not considered to be the post-production. But this time it's different, not to mention the hottest summer in a hundred years, the flu also came to join in the fun, and many of the crew members fell ill, even those who still insisted on their jobs, and the situation was not particularly good.
Seeing that his subordinates have followed him one by one to become a national treasure, or a national treasure with a sluggish spirit, Director Zhou is also a little unbearable, he is not a hard-hearted person, and he will never look at his subordinates one by one sick and crooked, so he gave his subordinates a half-day vacation and let them go home and sleep well. And Director Zhou, who is known as the industry's desperate Saburo, did not go home to rest like his staff, but used this time to meet the work team that was about to start filming commercials, and by the way, he got to know the young actors personally selected by Bai Xi.
To tell the truth, if it weren't for Bai Xu's face, he wouldn't have agreed to shoot any bullshit advertisements at all, even if Bai Xi was Bai Xu's cousin, so what, he could also not buy Bai Xi's account, but because Bai Xu recommended himself to Bai Xi, for the sake of his old friend, he agreed.
In fact, he doesn't plan to take over the job of filming commercials, it's really not because Director Zhou's vision is too high and he looks down on advertisements, but he really doesn't have time, and after the end of the drama in his hand, he will start to carry out publicity, and the publicity period will take about a month or so, not only several major cities in China need to go in person, but he also has to take all the cast and crew to go to several surrounding countries that have bought the right to broadcast and release, and cheer for their new plays. It's not too late, while carrying out publicity, he also has to start the preparation of the next work, revise the script, select actors, determine investors, etc., these jobs are enough for him to be busy, and maybe he will also join the ranks of the hanging bottle army, how can he still have the energy to shoot Rausch's advertisement!
Director Zhou's stomach full of complaints, Xia Xia can probably guess it, but he can't help it, from the day he was ready to shoot this advertisement, he thought that the director he wanted to cooperate with was Director Zhou, and only Director Zhou could shoot the effect he wanted. At that time, he didn't expect to meet Director Zhou's schedule, his original intention was to wait until Director Zhou was free, and then come to help him. Therefore, he can only silently say sorry to Director Zhou in his heart, and he must play well in the process of filming, reduce the number of mistakes, and not delay Director Zhou's precious time.
"Although the two of you have already been decided, then I have to see the level of the two of you before the official start of filming. Director Zhou flipped through the script in his hand, pointed to one of the pages, and said, "The script is a story about the family relationship between a father and son, so you can play one of the scenes!"
As Director Zhou said, this script tells the daily story of a family with only a father and two sons, and the whole script is divided into five independent small units, each small unit can be seen as a separate story, or it can be coherent as a big story.
Bai Zhongqiu plays the elder brother, Xia plays his younger brother, and the father of the two brothers is played by Bai Xi friendship. Originally, Bai Xi was reluctant to do this kind of face-showing, but the script clearly marked that Bai Xu planned to play the role of a young single father in person. Bai Xi also asked for verification from the summer and got the positive answer from the summer. Bai Xi had no choice but to move forward bravely.
The scene designated by Director Zhou is the most intense in the whole script, the brothers quarreled because of a very precious thread-bound book, and no one refused to give in, and the elder brother even lost his mind because of a moment of anger, and pushed the younger brother to the ground, and the younger brother's head hit the chair, and the head immediately swollen with a big bag. Seeing that his younger brother was injured, his brother was very distressed, and the problem of thread-bound books was immediately left behind, so he hurriedly ran over and hugged his younger brother to check the injury, and apologized to his younger brother while reading. At this time, Dad also heard the voice and rushed to check the situation.
The ending of the story is naturally under the mediation of his father, the brothers get back together, and the final shot falls on the elder brother carefully washing his brother's face and helping his younger brother apply skin care products.
Director Zhou didn't let Xia Xia and Bai Zhongqiu play out the whole story, but designated the two of them to try the part where the elder brother lost his mind and pushed the younger brother down.
I also practiced it when I was at home in the summer and Bai Zhongqiu, although I can't talk about it easily, but I am still a little sure. The two children glanced at each other, walked hand in hand to the open space in the middle of the private room, and each brewed their feelings, ready to start.
At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and everyone looked over, and when Xia Xia saw the two people at the door again, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Rub, you are everywhere you go, it's really ghostly!
