156. Calls from Kyoto

PS: Thank you Mr. M for the support of the gifted chapter, and thank you for the busy reminder ticket, although I can't complete 1W2 at all, but I received this heart.

The sky is beautiful, the drizzle has not stopped, and the environment that Ye Sumang hopes for still exists.

Listening to the sound of raindrops splashing on the earth in his ears, breathing in the cold and fragrant smell of earth and grass, Ye Sumang picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Yuan Hong in the bus, "Are you ready?" ”

On the screen of the monitor, Yuan Hong nodded, indicating that he was ready.

"Let's shoot." Ye Sumang, who got the reply, did not hesitate, and immediately raised his hand to signal for the second shooting.

All the actors, including the group performer, are once again in the mood.

The narration at the beginning of the movie comes from a famous quote from one of Shakespeare's plays called "All Are Happy" -- "Shijie is a stage, and all the men and women are just some actors, and they all have their time to end and they all have time to play. A person plays several roles in his or her life.

Ye Sumang likes this sentence very much, which is also the central idea of Ye Sumang's creation of this film.

Now Ye Sumang wants to use the form of a movie to explain the meaning of this sentence and put it into the hearts of the people in another way.

As the camera passes, everyone's time seems to be frozen at this moment, and the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of all beings appear on everyone's face, whether they are young or old, whether they are rich or poor, under Ye Sumang's lens, it seems to be just a fragment that can pass by.

This is a kind of exposition of life experience, profound and full of reason, just a few pictures that do not understand, a few levels of a few words with a little metaphor, the bond between people and people has been expounded a profound self-insight.

And for this set of shots, Ye Sumang also chose a kind of gray. The cold tones, with this sense of heaviness and serenity, lead the audience to ponder the meaning of these narrations and resonate with them from the bottom of their hearts.

Soon, the camera once again gave a close-up to Yuan Hong's body.

Bai Ge, the camera closes. Pull a half step away, give him a bust, and shine through the rain window beside him. Ye Sumang commanded calmly, sometimes, as a director, it is not to force the actor to act well, but to be able to play his greatest limit, what Ye Sumang has to do now is to use his own jishu to make up for the youthfulness of Yuan Hong's acting skills, and the two cooperate to complete this play.

Sure enough, when the camera zoomed out half a step away. The overall effect immediately took it to the next level.

Because the distance between the camera just now is too close, the 'play' of Yuan Hong's eyes is not in place, which will make the audience have a feeling of being clear at a glance, and at this time, the camera is only half a step away, not only covering up Yuan Hong's eyes that are not in place, but also using the environment of the rain window to integrate the two into the picture together, and that artistic conception is immediately revealed.

“CUT。 It's over! He counted for three seconds and felt that this shot was enough. Ye Sumang immediately stopped.

Because this kind of inner drama without language consumes the most of the actors' mental energy, Ye Sumang, as a director, naturally has to take care of every actor, and ensure that they can continue to work well without accidents.

"Take a ten-minute break and get ready for the next scene."

With Ye Su Mang's words. The staff on the scene immediately began to prepare the props needed for the next scene, and several actors on the bus also recovered, rubbing their faces and rubbing their legs, after all, this kind of static scene can easily numb the body because of a long time of immobility.

"The expressions are all very good. Great work, everyone! Ye Sumang also came to the bus at this moment, and encouraged this group of actors with a smile.

"Director Xiexie compliments." Several extroverted actors replied to Ye Sumang with a smile, and they felt happy from the bottom of their hearts to get praise from such a big director.

"How is it, did you feel about acting just now?" After talking to a few group speakers, Ye Sumang found Yuan Hong.

"It's hard to act, I always feel like I'm painting a cat." Yuan Hong smiled bitterly, he had a deep sense of powerlessness for this character, like a thing that he couldn't grasp, and he always felt that as soon as he grabbed it, he would take out his palm again, and he couldn't control it.

Ye Sumang nodded after listening to Yuan Hong's words, and agreed very much, but this kind of role is the most effective way to exercise acting skills, as long as Yuan Hong goes through this performance, his acting skills will definitely be greatly improved.

"Okay, I'll tell you about the next play." After comforting Yuan Hong, Ye Sumang entered the working state again.

"I'm sorry to be directed."

"What's the matter politely, I'll teach you that I'll finish filming early and rest early."

After a long time, the rain in the sky gradually stopped, and only the puddles on the ground proved their existence just now, and Ye Sumang's crew finally finished filming the opening scene during this time.

This shot may have been edited for less than three minutes, but the shooting time was as long as three hours, but Ye Sumang was still very satisfied with the results, and looked at the time, it was already two o'clock in the morning, looking at the tired eyes of the crew, Ye Sumang did not continue to catch up with the show, but directly waved his hand and announced the end of work.

"Long live the director!" This news is so happy for the current crew, everyone has packed up their props and prepared to go back to the hotel to sleep.

Ye Sumang also stood up with his waist stretched, although he didn't need to do any heavy work, but he stared at the screen intently for three hours in the director's position, and he had to keep directing, and his physical strength was not necessarily less than that of the masters of the lighting team and the photography team.

What's more, he also has to bear the pressure of self-breakthrough, every shot must be perfect, which invisibly consumes his mental energy, plus staying up late at this time, making him look very haggard at this moment.

"Leaves."

Just when Ye Sumang was about to wait for the crew to clean up and go back to the hotel to rest, a shout made him turn his head in confusion and found that it was Zhou Xun who came over.

"Why are you here?" Ye Sumang asked suspiciously.

After all, it's more than two o'clock in the morning, and it stands to reason that Zhou Wei, who has no drama, should have been resting in the hotel a long time ago, but why did they suddenly come to the set now.

However, when Zhou Wei walked in front of him and took out a small thermos bucket from his back, he suddenly understood a little, and his gaze at the girl was also full of weirdness and a hint of vigilance.

"Isn't this bringing you some chicken soup? It must be very tiring to stay up late filming. Zhou Wei said with a smile, while opening the thermos bucket, carefully filling a bowl of chicken soup with the lid of the bucket, and taking out a carefully wrapped haode scalding spoon from the package, and after preparing everything, he handed it to Ye Sumang.

And this little woman is doing all this thing. The gaze in the corner of his eye has always been gentle and nostalgic for Ye Sumang, and there has never been a moment of wandering.

Looking at the chicken soup brought to him, Ye Sumang suddenly hesitated.

Because at this time, he suddenly thought of what Dong Xuan said to him when he was on CCTV, which made Ye Sumang extremely sensitive to the closeness he showed to girls now, for fear that he would accidentally owe another emotional debt.

However, this hesitation was only for a moment, Ye Sumang still took the chicken soup handed over by Zhou Jing, after all, this was a piece of kindness from others, and it was not easy for him to refuse.

The aroma of chicken soup is special in this earthy air. Soon there were people with sharp noses who smelled this aroma, and Yuan Hong was one of them.

However, the smart Yuan Hong looked at the chicken soup in Ye Sumang's hand, and then looked at the size of the thermos bucket that Zhou Wei was preparing for, and immediately dispelled the idea of going to rub a bowl, because it was obviously prepared for one person.

"Director Ye, you are really full of peach blossoms." Shaking his head, Yuan Hong muttered.

"Yuan Hong, what did you say?" The assistant who walked beside Yuan Hong asked curiously. The voice was too low just now, and he didn't hear it too clearly.

"I said let's go for supper in a different direction. Today I invite you. Yuan Hong naturally wouldn't say this kind of thing, and happened to be hooked up by the taste of chicken soup, so he took advantage of the donkey to announce supper, and got the unanimous cheers of several assistants around.

And Ye Sumang, after taking the chicken soup, he drank it up in two bites.

"Drink slowly, I've got it here." Zhou Wei saw that he was drinking so urgently. Thinking that he liked it, he was even happier in his heart, so he quickly took the lid of the bucket from his hand and helped him fill another bowl.

For the chicken soup handed over by this little woman, Ye Sumang could only smile bitterly. How can he like it, he doesn't want to contact Zhou Xuan, the girl's eyes make him feel that there is a trace of bad taste in it, because he seems to have seen this kind of look in Dong Xuan's eyes, and he is afraid that this will become an entangled love debt again.

However, seeing that the girl handed over the chicken soup expectantly, Ye Sumang only sighed and took the chicken soup, but this time he was not in such a hurry as he was at the beginning, but used a small spoon and gently sipped it one by one, and the girl was not in a hurry, she looked at Ye Sumang with a gentle smile on the side, and did not speak, sitting quietly and happily like a shy lily after the rain.

"Zhou Jing, take the liberty of asking a question." Suddenly, Ye Sumang put down the small bowl with half of the chicken soup and said solemnly.

"Absolutely." The girl was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded.

"You like me?" Ye Sumang took a deep breath and asked directly, he felt that sometimes escaping was not the way, it was better to face it directly, cut through the chaos quickly, save himself from guessing every day, and he was very worried.

This sentence made Zhou Xun's eyes widen in surprise, he never thought that Ye Sumang would ask such a question at such a moment, Zhou Wei did not answer immediately, but stared at the other party's eyes, wanting to see something in them, but to her disappointment, Ye Sumang's eyes did not have any other feelings except for a trace of determination, which made her heart suddenly burst out, and she felt very uneasy.

"No, how could you think that." When Ben came to his mouth to confess, he was swallowed by Zhou Wei.

"Hehe, that's my narcissism." Ye Sumang seemed to be relieved, and then said in a self-deprecating tone: "Recently, because of some things, I have been a little sensitive to feelings, sorry, I scared you." ”

"It's okay." Zhou Wei seemed to naturally pull the broken hair in her ears to the back of her head, but in fact, she wiped the sweat from her sideburns, because just now, unconsciously, she seemed to be about to cut off the deep feelings in her heart, and she was flustered at this time, and she had a deep feeling of fear.

Because she understands that as long as she speaks, what awaits her must be a ruthless rejection.

"What is it, can you tell me about it?" Zhou Wei endured the sadness in his heart, pulled out a smile, and asked pretending to be curious. In fact, she wanted to know which girl caused Ye Sumang to become so sensitive to feelings, and she now felt that she hated that guy.

"It's an old story. Do not say. Ye Sumang didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he picked up the remaining half bowl of chicken soup and drank it in one gulp, and then rinsed the lid of the bucket with a bottle of mineral water next to him, and then handed it back to Zhou Wei.

The girl took the lid of the bucket handed over by Ye Sumang, and smiled reluctantly, until she watched Ye Sumang say hello and leave. The figure disappeared in front of her eyes, and she walked back to her nanny car as if she had lost her soul.

The car is not empty, as the company's number one star, Joy has always been personally responsible for Zhou Wei's economic work, and this time he came to Shanghai to film, Joy naturally followed.

"See Ye Sumang? Satisfied? Seeing Zhou Jing carrying the thermos bucket into the car, Joey immediately asked angrily, her feelings for Zhou Jing were also clear, so she naturally understood Zhou Jing's thoughts about coming to deliver chicken soup so late.

Smack...... Smack......

Waited for a moment. Joey, who was sitting in the front, found that Zhou Wei in the back did not reply, and she also vaguely heard the sound of water dripping.

"Zhou Wei......? What's wrong with you!? Why are you crying? ”

Joey turned around strangely, but the scene she saw made her heart tremble inexplicably.

The girl in front of her at this time is no longer the big star with a noble temperament in front of people, nor is she a girl who is humorous and funny like a friend on weekdays, she is like a little beast that has been injured all the time, silently licking her wounds while holding tears, looking extremely pitiful.

"You confessed. And then Ye Sumang rejected you? Joey asked.

The girl shook her head with tears on her face.

"Then what have you been wronged by? You mean. Joey was also a little anxious at the moment.

The girl still didn't speak, just looked at Joey with red and swollen eyes. The tears in her eyes still kept popping out at this moment, like a broken bead curtain, splashing on the lid of the thermos bucket in her hand, making heartbreaking splashes.

This kind of look made Joey's heart tremble, as if she could feel the heart-rending pain at this moment in the look.

At this time, Joey couldn't bear to stimulate the girl anymore and turned around. silently started the nanny car, ready to pull the girl back to the hotel, and then find out the reason little by little.

The nanny's car drove very slowly, because Joey was afraid that Zhou Wei would be surprised when she returned to the hotel and was watched by the reporters, so she had to give the girl enough time to calm down. Of course, this is also the reason for her own irritability, especially the drizzle in the sky, which makes the atmosphere in the car a little more depressing, only a few sobs from time to time from the girl.

"Whew...... Sister Joey, speed up, I'm fine. After a long time, Zhou Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped away his tears, and said calmly.

"Is it okay?" Joey asked, still a little worried.

"It's okay!" Zhou Wei smiled, her mood was really calmed down a lot at this time, the main reason why she cried just now was that she was frightened by Ye Sumang's detached and decisive eyes, and she couldn't help the grievances in her heart for a while, which left tears.

But now that I think about it carefully, although my feelings are suspected by Ye Sumang, they are also decisively hidden by myself, and in the end, this relationship has not been clarified until now, which proves that I still have a chance.

However, when he thought of the person who made Ye Sumang so sensitive, Zhou Wei hated it so much, if it weren't for 'her', Ye Sumang would not treat his feelings like a hedgehog now, and he would explode when he touched it.

"Don't let me know who you are!" The girl huffed and put down the cruel words in her heart, and at the same time regarded the imaginary enemy as her biggest competitor now.

At this time, Dong Xuan, who was far away in Kyoto, sneezed twice in a row for no reason, interrupting the sweet dream she was immersed in, and opened her eyes in a daze, and the girl threw the bear in her hand aside very irritably, and sat up angrily.

"Kissed right away, damn sneeze, am I catching a cold?"

The girl scratched her long hair, which had been messed up, and stared at the 24-degree room temperature displayed on the air conditioner, but soon her eyes gradually straightened, and she seemed to be immersed in the spring dream just now, and a layer of blush appeared on her cheeks involuntarily.

At this time, Ye Sumang had already returned to the hotel, first handed over the wet clothes on his body to the waiter to clean, and then changed into a bathrobe and prepared to take a bath.

After all, if you don't take a shower, you can easily catch a cold.

As a five-star hotel, the bathroom naturally supplies hot water 24 hours a day, and when the water line of the shower sprays on Ye Sumang's strong muscles, a sense of relief after fatigue also swells up all over his body.

Under the bath of hot water, Ye Sumang's fatigue seemed to gradually drift away with the water, and his thoughts gradually returned to the set, I don't know Weishenme, Zhou Wei's bucket of chicken soup always appeared in his mind, and that gentle eyes, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it was, he felt that the girl didn't tell him the truth.

Ye Sumang laughed at herself, that little woman really regarded herself as an emotional idiot.

He didn't realize it before, it was because he didn't pay attention to his feelings, and he only focused on work, but now it's different, under Dong Xuan's 'confession' and 'warning' hit one after another, he has begun to pay attention to this aspect of things, combined with Zhou Wei's performance before, he can basically guess the other party's thoughts.

When it is decided, he made a decision in his heart that he should stay away from Zhou Xun in the future, just like Dong Xuan said, if you don't like it, don't get close, otherwise it will only make the other party fall deeper and deeper, Zuihou not only hurt the other party, but also distressed himself.

Whew!

Shaking his head, Ye Sumang forced himself not to worry about these problems, so as to focus on the filming of the movie, once he made up his mind, he would be paranoid to implement his ideas.

But this kind of feeling is not something he can control, Ye Sumang's mind quickly became a mess, but just as he was trying to forget, a phone rang interrupted his train of thought.

Ye Sumang hurriedly turned off the shower, changed into a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom.

looked at the caller ID, and it turned out to be a call from the Kyoto head office, and after Ye Sumang rang again with the ringtone, he immediately pressed the call button.

"I'm Ye Sumang, what's the matter at this late hour?"

"Mr. Ye, there is a big event, it is about "Youth Singing and Dancing"." The employee on the other end of the phone was very urgent, and obviously took this matter very seriously. (To be continued.) )
