In June 2012, there were many new movies released in Huaxia theaters, and there were several movies almost every weekend, but unfortunately most of them were street goods. There are only two films that Li Xiuping considers successful, the first is "People in Embarrassment" starring Xu Zheng and Bao Qiang, which is the second road comedy film in China, which is unsatisfactory at the box office and barely pays for itself, but the reputation is excellent, relying on word-of-mouth to become the hottest movie in early June with almost no publicity.

The second is directed by HK director Peng Haoxiang, Yu Wenle and Yang Qianhua starring in the urban love movie "Zhiming and Chunjiao", the mainland box office of this movie is said to be no more than two million, and the investors who lost money want to jump off the building, but the reputation is better than embarrassment, and it is popular in the circle of friends, the man says that he is Zhiming, and the woman says that he is Chunjiao, it seems that it is particularly fashionable to advertise it like this, in fact, Zhiming is a scumbag in the movie, Chunjiao is a scumbag, the two are a pair of dog men and women, they met for five days and got involved, and there was a other half at that time.

"Zhiming and Chunjiao" In terms of the content of the movie, many people will disdain it, thinking that this is not a bloody movie of sassy men and prodigal women, but it is such a theme that has been excavated by countless directors, and it has been filmed by Peng Haoxiang with a special tone, the movie is cool, although the male and female protagonists are incurable, the audience still likes it very much.

If the audience likes it, it will be successful, the first part can't make money, it doesn't matter, you can still make a sequel, the investor lost 50 million, not much, one sequel is not enough to make two, you can always pay back.

So "Zhiming and Chunjiao" is definitely a success, not only the director is well-known to the public, but Yu Wenle has become a representative of the new generation of trendy men in HK because of this film.

Li Xiuping can't write an urban romance film like "Zhiming and Chunjiao", because he doesn't have this experience, and there are no such stories and people around him, although he was married before he crossed over, he can be regarded as early marriage and early childbearing, and he got married and had children early, and then he was even more busy all his life, and he didn't have time or mood to flirt with his sister. However, Li Xiuping wrote the script of a road comedy movie, Li Xiuping felt that he could be popular, of course, all this had to wait for him to make a movie, but at this time he had a hard time making an online drama, and he didn't know how long it would take to make a movie, at least Li Xiuping was not in the mood to imagine making a movie in the future at this time.

There are several rows of three-storey small bungalows next to HD Film and Television City, very neat, very well planned, rows of laundry are hung under the eaves of the small bungalows, under the clothes is a narrow corridor, one side of the corridor is the room, there is a small trash can at the door of each room, there are all kinds of domestic garbage, there are chicken bones empty wine bottle leftovers, because the weather is hot, so the smell of these garbage is not very good, this is actually a rental housing complex where the group performers live, the environment is not very good, the biggest advantage is cheap.

There are several large rooms in the outermost building of the small bungalow building, compared with other single rooms of more than ten square meters, these large rooms are more than 100 square meters, and these rooms are not for the group performers, but for the crew.

Room 101 of Building A was being filmed at this time, inside was an office area, several desks were placed in two columns, the desks were full of folders, as well as telephones and computers, and on the side of the desks were two large whiteboards, on which many words were written, and more than a dozen very bloody photos were pasted, some of which were circled with a big red pen, and some were connected with other photos. At this time, more than a dozen young men and women stood on either side of the desk, watching a middle-aged man with a greasy face and a small belly writing and drawing on the whiteboard.

"Take a break. ”

This is the first day of filming of "Crime in the Heart", Tai Wei, played by Wang Longzheng, is filming to analyze the criminal characteristics of the perverted strong @ rapist, the main camera is on Tai Wei, and the others are all virtual mirrors, just occasionally give a few close-ups, let them express their expressions of surprise, anger and doubt, in order to highlight the horror and arrogance of the unknown criminal, and then let Fang Mu played by Li Yifeng appear, Fang Mu, as the protagonist, must have close-up shots, and there are many more, and the main shot will also be transferred from Tai Wei to Fang Mu.

Li Xiuping got up before six o'clock today, and then pulled the photographer and gaffer, electrician and repairman to check the equipment, and then checked the shooting plan, and then prepared the pig's head fruit and incense candles and firecrackers for the start-up ceremony with two assistants.

Li Xiuping filmed with excitement, but the effect was not good, he sent the assistant to clean up the garbage outside the house for a while, asked the assistant to put a "no noise" sign outside the door for a while, and asked the assistant to turn on the fan bigger, in short, no matter what it was, Li Xiuping couldn't see it anywhere.

Li Xiuping is the director, he is not in a bad mood because of the smell of garbage outside the house, not because of the noise outside the house, or because of the heat, but more because he found that the male and the male and the second man could not give him the feeling he wanted, Li Xiuping explained to Li Yifeng and Wang Longzheng, but the performance of the two did not improve, which made Li Xiuping's mood worse and worse.

Li Xiuping is not an old planner, nor is he Wang Sunglasses, his directing ability is not convincing to the actors, what he says, Li Yifeng and Wang Longzheng may not be able to listen to it, so even if he has a plan, it is useless at this time. But if there is a problem, it can't be avoided, so Li Xiuping still has to communicate with Li Yifeng and Wang Longzheng, but before communicating, he needs to think carefully about where the problem of the two is.

An hour later, Li Xiuping, Li Yifeng, and Wang Longzheng sat together, Li Xiuping was short-sleeved with middle pants and slippers, Li Yifeng was dressed as Fang Mu, with a white shirt and trousers and leather shoes, and Wang Longzheng was dressed as Tai Wei, with an off-the-shoulder white coat with jeans and military boots. Li Xiuping raised the cold beer in his hand, "Come, have a drink." ”

"Bell!", and the three beer bottles touched.

Li Xiuping took a small sip and found that Li Yifeng and Wang Longzheng also drank a little bit, he smiled and said to Wang Longzheng: "Dude, who do you think is handsome between you and Yi Feng?"

Wang Longzheng was stunned for a moment, and then lifted the bangs in front of his right forehead, "Yi Feng is more handsome." ”

"Not the truth, you must be thinking about it in your heart. Li Xiuping said with a smile.

Wang Lung was smiling and didn't say anything, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Li Xiuping shook his head, "Lao Wang, let me say to you, don't think about taking the idol route, you are 80 years old, you are 30 years old this year, those old men in their thirties and forties in Wanwan can act in idol dramas, but you can't." ”

Li Xiuping thought about it for an hour, and finally discovered the shortcomings of Wang Longzheng and Li Yifeng's performance, Wang Long just couldn't let go, lacking Tai Wei's straightforward, sloppy and decadent feeling, and looking at the camera from time to time, teasing his hair, shaking his eyebrows, smiling and smiling, he was actually handsome to the camera, he actually had idol baggage. Li Yifeng's Fang Mu doesn't really need too many acting skills, but Li Yifeng seems to have something on his mind, and the Fang Mu he plays gives people a sense of inferiority, you must know that Fang Mu, as a psychological genius, is a very proud person in his heart. Since Li Xiuping found a shortcoming, he naturally pointed it out, and he was lazy to take a roundabout and tactful way, and directly told Wang Longzheng.

Wang Longzheng obviously felt that he still had a chance to become popular as an idol, so he directly scolded back, "Why can't I?"

"Because you are too old, now there are so many young students waiting for acting to take the position, why did the investor producer choose you, those old men in Wanwan are because they all started from idol dramas and have a certain popularity, and they can pretend to be young to act in idol dramas, what about you? Why are you? You are thirty years old, how can you still have idol baggage, you are not popular at all. ”

Wang Lung was glaring at Li Xiuping, "Director, what do you mean?"

"I mean you have to let go, Tai Wei is a middle-aged uncle who lives an informal life, his appearance is not handsome at all, but you play him well, this sloppy but honest and hot-blooded uncle is absolutely charming, and you will be popular when the time comes. ”

“……”

"I invited you to come, not for you to be handsome, you are not as good-looking as Yi Feng, and the audience can't see you if you play a handsome woman, if you want to highlight yourself, then you have to show real skills and rely on acting skills to speak. ”

Wang Lung was on point, and left in a low mood

Li Xiuping smiled and turned to Li Yifeng, "Yi Feng, what are you thinking, you have been absent-minded all morning." “

Li Yifeng took a sip of wine, "Director, I'm sorry." ”

"I'm not going to hear you apologize, I'm here to help you solve the problem, let's talk about it, why, I have something on mind on the first day of shooting?"

"I'm a little confused, I don't know if I can go on, director, I thought I would take on the big drama, but I didn't expect the company to arrange an online drama for me, here...... I'm sorry, I just feel that there is a big gap, and I feel uncomfortable. ”

Li Xiuping nodded, "I understand your feelings, but what can you do? Now you can only shoot online dramas, TV dramas don't invite you, what can you do? If I were you, I would act well and slap my face with my work." You shouldn't be lost now, you should cheer up and seize every possible opportunity, so that you can rise. ”

Li Yifeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's useless." ”

"If you don't try it, how do you know, Yi Feng, this drama will be popular, you will also be popular, adjust it well, you will definitely do it." ”

"Okay, I'll try," Li Yifeng said with a low mood.

Li Xiuping took a sullen sip of wine, he felt that he was not a director, but an old mother who took care of the male and the second.

"After the broadcast, you know that this show will really be popular. Now I'm grinding and chirping to death, let you beg me to shoot the second season. ”
