Chapter 39 Boot up

At 5 o'clock in the morning on October 9, 2010, Li Xiuping woke up early, he ran around the newly rented courtyard for more than a dozen laps, sweating, and felt the strength of his body to stop, he liked this feeling, which made him feel that fate was at his feet, and he was in charge of his own life.

It's a pity that Li Xiuping can only YY in his heart during the time he is running, and he still has to do a lot of things he doesn't like. For example, today's work plan, he will host the opening ceremony of the second season of "Sins in the Heart", and then be interviewed by reporters, and he will also shoot a short scene in a fake way.

As a director, Li Xiuping is normal to host the start-up and be interviewed by reporters, but the author said: "A great director talks about the work, and a non-awesome director can talk about things outside the work." "Li Xiuping is not a great director now, if he only talks about "Sin in the Heart", it is estimated that few reporters are willing to interview him, because the vast majority of netizens are not interested in Li Xiuping's creation. But if he talks about whether he is not a student of Zhou Xingxing, knows nothing about the melee of the Internet water army and sunspots, and is extremely angry at the hype idol Zhou Xingxing, such a subject can immediately attract a bunch of reporters.

Li Xiuping is determined to be a big director, he naturally hopes to introduce his works to reporters, he doesn't like to "act" to reporters, but if he doesn't act, there is no topic, he has to report to let more people know that he has to act, who makes him not a great director?

Li Xiuping learned to adjust his emotions when he was a student, even if he did something he didn't like, he could face it with a smile, so he got up early, ran to vent, and then took a shower and changed clothes. Then he started the day's work, his work plan was first to call and arrange for his subordinates to prepare the start-up scene, sacrifices, firecracker red envelopes, etc., then worship God with several leading actors to start the film, then give interviews, and finally shoot a scene.

The preparation for the start-up ceremony did not require Li Xiuping to do it himself, but he also had to watch it carefully, so he went to the set of the start-up immediately after he washed up, and Liu Haoyu was already waiting for Li Xiuping on the set.

"Are things ready?" Li Xiuping didn't chatter, and directly got down to business.

"Ready. ”

"It's all new, right?"

"Brother, don't worry, it's all new. ”

"Well, let's take a look. ”

Li Xiuping then went to the scene of the start-up ceremony with Liu Haoyu, and he first saw a huge piece of writing "Sin in the Heart" Three characters and Li Yifeng, Jiang Shuying, Wang Longzheng three portraits of the background board, there is a square table with four corners under the background board, the table is covered with a bright red cloth, the red cloth is placed on four large fruit plates and a large incense burner, the incense burner is placed in the middle, the fruit bowl is placed on both sides, four fruit plates are filled with four kinds of fruits, namely apples, oranges, grapes, persimmons, these four fruits are all red, and the big red cloth is almost the same color.

There is also a computer desk on the side of the large table, on which there is a large 40-inch TV, a small speaker, and two microphones.

About five meters in front of the large table is a camera with a tripod, which is covered with a large red cloth.

Directly opposite the camera are five rows of chairs that resemble desks and chairs, and next to the chairs there is a large table with four pieces of mineral water, two pieces of Coke, four Chinese cigarettes, and more than two dozen lighters.

Li Xiuping looked at it carefully, and finally said with satisfaction: "It's very good, but Haoyu, have you prepared fireworks and colored balls?"

"It's ready, put it in the back, and release it when it turns on. ”

"That's good, you work hard today, and I'll give you a vacation tomorrow. ”

"It's okay, I'm in good health, little meaning. ”

Li Xiuping smiled slightly, "After the interview, the reporters still want you to follow up and entertain, you may drink a lot of alcohol at that time, you pay attention, take a few friends to block the bar, and say that you are all my brothers, you can represent me." ”

"Good. ”

In addition to preparing sacrificial firecrackers, incense and candles, there is also a short scene to be filmed today, so the machinery and equipment needed for filming on the set also have to be moved, Li Xiuping watched while chatting with Liu Haoyu, and all the preparations were not completed until eight o'clock in the morning.

At about half past eight, Li Yifeng, Wang Long, Zhengjiang, and Shuying all arrived, in addition to more than 30 reporters, according to the original plan, there were about 20 reporters on the side of Tengxun and friendly with him, and now more than 30 people are here, half of them are because of the fire of the premiere of "Guilty in the Heart".

At nine o'clock in the morning, the opening ceremony of the second season of "Crime in the Heart" was officially held, first Li Yifeng spoke as a representative of the actors, then a staff member of Tengxun spoke as a representative of the masses, and finally Li Xiuping spoke.

After Li Xiuping finished speaking, he broadcast the blessings and expectations of some well-known people for the second season of "Crime in the Heart" through big TV, but Li Xiuping didn't know any powerful star directors, so there were only video messages from people named Beast Bai Kelin Shuangyue and HD Mountain Liu Shengli and others.

After the video message was played, it was the worship of God and incense, Li Xiuping, Liu Haoyu and the three leading actors all took three incense, and then bowed a few times to the big incense burner, and finally put incense.

If you say that the previous speech and video message were played, Li Xiuping was a little unimpressed with this start-up ceremony in his heart, but when it came to the incense, he really had a sense of solemnity, as if a voice told him, "The second season of "Sin in the Heart" has officially started, work hard." ”

Li Xiuping's mentality has changed slightly, and then he is more serious and serious, and when it comes to the last part of the boot-up ceremony - uncovering the red cloth, Li Xiuping is almost cold-faced.

"Whew!" When Li Yifeng lifted the big red cloth covering the camera, Li Xiuping clenched his fists, and he felt that his next work had really begun. It was not until this time that Li Xiuping understood why Hollywood, national teachers, and small steel cannons all had to hold a boot ceremony, not only to pray for good weather during filming, to pray that all kinds of ghosts would not come to make trouble, and to pray for box office sales, but also a sense of ritual, these seemingly boring procedures are to let the creative staff pay attention and let them quickly enter the working state.

"Wan Wan and the first season of "Sin in the Heart" didn't start filming, and it was really a grass stage team at that time. Today is finally a bit of a formal crew, and it will be better in the future. ”

When Li Xiuping was thinking crankily in his heart, Liu Haoyu had firecrackers and fireworks lit, and also released colored balls, and the reporters shot wildly.

Next, Li Xiuping and the three leading actors were interviewed by reporters together, Jiang Shuying and Wang Longzheng were almost transparent, and the reporters mainly interviewed Li Yifeng and Li Xiuping.

The premiere of "Crime in the Heart" was a big hit, and it was natural that Li Yifeng, as the protagonist, was focused on by reporters, and Li Xiuping was mainly asked about last night's hype topic.

Jiang Shuying listened quietly to Li Xiuping and Li Yifeng's bragging, smiling, and rolled her eyes countless times in her heart. "It's not hype, it's not hype, what is that, big brother, netizens have nothing to do when they're full, you're a student of Zhou Xingxing?"

"I'm going to vomit, thank you to the director for your support, thank you to all your favorite fans, do you want to thank your parents?"

"This guy next to me is embarrassed to laugh along, no one has interviewed you, what are you laughing at?"

"MMP, I'm standing here beautifully, why didn't anyone interview me? These thirty or so guys are all trusted, and they are all bought with money. ”

The interview lasted nearly half an hour, Jiang Shuying was already very impatient in her heart, but fortunately it was finally about to end, when a roar suddenly sounded in the sky, and two helicopters slowly flew close to the start-up site one left and one right, and then the two banners went down.

The banner on the left reads, "Jiang Shuying, you are the most beautiful." The banner on the right reads, "Jiang Shuying, I love you." ”

The reporters thought it was hype, and it was another wild shot.

Li Xiuping smiled, but he felt very dirty in his heart, Gao Gaoshan called him last night and introduced Ma Jingfei, so he already knew that Ma Jingfei was going to confess today.

Jiang Shuying was completely stunned, at this moment, a Porsche sports car drove in front of the boot site, and the sports car drove into the boot site, and then the car door opened, and Atletico Madrid flew out with a big back hairstyle, a suit and leather shoes, and a handful of roses in his hand.

"Xiaoying, I love you, be my girlfriend, right?" Ma Jingfei tried his best to keep his voice low and magnetic, and he practiced dozens of times for this sentence.

Jiang Shuying reacted at this time, she didn't like Ma Jingfei's surprise, she glared at Ma Jingfei angrily, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't like you." ”

Ma Jingfei didn't expect Jiang Shuying to refuse, he said eagerly: "Xiaoying, we are childhood sweethearts, I have liked you since I was a child, I will devote myself to you, I will give you the greatest happiness in the world, I will ......"

"Ma Jingfei, that's enough, we're just ordinary friends, don't say those words that move you anymore, I don't feel it. ”

"That'...... Is it okay for you to accept my pursuit? I will officially pursue you from this day forward. ”

"Don't, I really don't have feelings for you, please keep a little dignity for you and me. ”

"I ......" Ma Jingfei didn't know how to continue, he could only look at Jiang Shuying blankly.

Li Xiuping didn't expect Ma Jingfei to fail in courtship, Ma Jingfei was full of confidence on the phone, saying that he and Jiang Shuying's family are world friends, the two have known each other for more than ten years, and they already have each other in their hearts, but whether they succeed or not, they can't let Ma Jingfei and Jiang Shuying stalemate like this, and the interview has not officially ended, so Li Xiuping walked over, "Mr. Ma, calm down first, Miss Jiang also needs time to think about whether it is not, let's go backstage to drink saliva first." ”

Li Xiuping pulled Ma Jingfei away, Jiang Shuying stared at Li Xiuping's back, she blamed Li Xiuping for why he didn't tell her such a thing first.

Two minutes later, Li Xiuping walked out and accepted an interview with several friendly reporters, and then announced the end of the interview, and finally it was the red envelope session, Li Xiuping sent red envelopes to the cast and crew, and Liu Haoyu was responsible for sending red envelopes to reporters.

After distributing the red envelopes, Liu Haoyu led the reporters to dinner, and Li Xiuping had to shoot a short scene.

As the first scene of the new crew, although it is used for Tencent Video promotion, it will not shoot passers-by A and passerby B, so it is natural to shoot the male and female protagonists, so Li Yifeng and Jiang Shuying are preparing for the play.

Jiang Shuying was in a bad mood because of Ma Jingfei's matter, her face was very cold, and she was not in a state at all.

Today's filming is just to make a show, whether it is Li Xiuping and the other staff, they don't want to delay here for too long, so Li Xiuping asked Ding Xiang to talk to Jiang Shuying.

Ding Xiang pulled Jiang Shuying and said in a low voice: "Yingying, Li Xiuping said that you haven't entered the state, let you adjust it and finish filming quickly." ”

Jiang Shuying raised her head and glared at Li Xiuping fiercely, "This bastard, he partnered to hook up with Ma Jingfei to lie to me." ”

"Shadow ...... I don't think Li Xiuping can be blamed for today's incident. ”

"How do you help him speak?"

"I just chatted with a few of Li Xiuping's crew in the first season of "Guilty in the Heart", and they said that the first season of "Guilty in the Heart" was directed by Li Xiuping. I now find that in addition to his love of hype, he should be talented, and if we follow him, you may be able to become popular. ”

Jiang Shuying looked at Ding Xiang, and said half-loudly: "Okay, but he cheated me today, I must find it back, and tomorrow I will film, I want to compare Wang Long, I want to win the bet." ”

"Okay, good, now film well. ”
