CHAPTER XXIII
Xiao Yi hasn't seen Lu Zhou's crying scene yet, he can't understand at all, how can a person cry anytime and anywhere, Lu Zhou cried when he filmed "Iron Horse Binghe", but that kind of crying is much simpler than silent and silent choking, because tears are roared, and when emotions are pushed to the extreme, it is easy to collapse.
Silent tears are the hardest, Lu Zhou looked at the photo quietly, and in less than five seconds, tears welled up in his eyes. Immediately after, with gasping, Lu Zhou trembled and stuffed the photo under the glass on the table.
Xiao Yi was frightened on the spot, the surroundings were silent, Lu Zhou rubbed his face with both hands, like a child trembling with sadness, he couldn't stop choking, the camera advanced, Lu Zhou's eyes were full of tears, he held back his sadness, let out a long breath, and got up.
"Click!" The director said.
Several people were applauding, Lu Zhou went back to pull out the photo and return it to Xiao Yi, and let out a tired sigh, Xiao Yi was afraid that he would be too invested for a while, and his feelings had not calmed down, so he handed him a bottle of water, Lu Zhou took a sip and looked at the venue in silence.
The things were in place, and Lu Zhou was sitting, as if he was immersed in something sad. Xiao Yi carefully touched his back, as if to comfort him, and Lu Zhou laughed.
"Teacher Lu, put on makeup." The director reminded.
Lu Zhou got up to put on makeup, and then the next scene was the editor-in-chief scolding Lu Zhou, Lu Zhou lowered his head and stood in front of the editor-in-chief, a male editor-in-chief sat half-sat on the desk, thirty centimeters shorter than Lu Zhou, chattering and teaching him.
"I'm gone!" Lu Zhou finally broke out.
Xiao Yi was taken aback again, Lu Zhou pointed to the editor-in-chief's nose and said, "Don't deceive people too much!" β
The editor-in-chief was stunned, and after three seconds, he forgot the words.
"Ahh
Lu Zhou waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, so he had to come again.
After the two quarreled, the editor-in-chief said: "Okay, you take the seed, Kou Bin, go and tell the boss, I bet you don't dare to tell the boss - you go-"
The editor-in-chief was triumphant, and Lu Zhou just looked at him silently, with suppressed anger in his eyes, like an awakened lion.
The camera pans away.
In the next game, the midfield was opened.
Lu Zhou stood still and said to the female editor-in-chief: "What?!" Why am I again? β
The female editor-in-chief said helplessly: "The other party asks you to receive by name, the son of the boss of our group, you can have more snacks." β
Lu Zhou: "I made an appointment at night, and I still have something." β
The female editor-in-chief shrugged.
"Draw me a watch." Lu Zhou came down and said to Xiao Yi, "Will it?" Cute. β
Xiao Yi held Lu Zhou's hand, buried his head in his wrist, and drew a cartoon watch. Lu Zhou went to act again.
Lu Zhou packed up his things, heard his colleagues talking about him at the water dispenser, and stopped his movements slightly, Lu Zhou pulled the sleeves of his white shirt, drew a watch with a ballpoint pen on his wrist, he looked up at the camera inexplicably, pushed down his glasses, and looked confused in his eyes, like a very handsome boy, but he didn't know how handsome he looked at at all.
Xiao Yideng's eyes thumped with red hearts.
"Click-" the director said, "The morning scene is here, Mr. Lu has worked hard." β
Lu Zhou immediately went to change his clothes and said, "I have to go to Beiying in the afternoon, so I'll go first." β
Xiao Yi drove, Lu Zhou ate in the car, after eating, Xiao Yi parked the car in the garage, and the two ran into the set, Lu Zhou finished putting on makeup, sat on the chair, and greeted everywhere.
"Director Guo." Lu Zhou smiled, "I've been waiting for a long time." β
"It's early." Director Guo smiled and said, "I called Xiao Yi just now, asking you not to rush too much, and come over after lunch." Come, I'll tell you about the play. β
Lu Zhou waved his hand, the logistics was distributing a boxed lunch, and Lu Zhou said to Xiao Yi: "You go to dinner." β
Xiao Yi received a boxed lunch, and Director Guo said to Lu Zhou: "I read the script yesterday." β
"I didn't finish reading it." Lu Zhou replied, "I've watched all the plays today." β
"Can you grasp the character?" Director Guo patiently asked, "If you have an idea, I won't say it." β
Xiao Yi opened it and listened to Coke, thinking that Director Guo is really good, although he is fifty years old, he is still very elegant and patient, what actor doesn't like him? Sure enough, the debut still has to meet the right talent.
"Xu Fengxiao, this person." Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "Although I live in my uncle's house who is a businessman, my father is a scholar, and most of the family is scholars. The name is from Wen Tianxiang's poem "Song of Righteousness". β
"Yes." Director Guo nodded and said, "Feng Eaves Exhibition and Reading, the ancient road shines in color, there is the arrogance of a scholar, in the Kuomintang military system, he is an idealist, his life, until he died, has a backbone, I asked you to play him for Lu, because Hu Yang can't play so many roles." β
"Hmm." Lu Zhou flipped through the script and said, "When he was slandered as a traitor, Xu Fengwei's heart was very angry. β
"But he must bear with it." Director Guo patted Lu Zhou's shoulder and said with a smile, "The eldest husband can bend and stretch, compared to him who is still a teenager, Feng Eaves is growing all the way, more mature, more responsible, others have a thousand faces, you also have a thousand faces...... Ha lu haha. β
Lu Zhou laughed, glanced back at Xiao Yi, with a smile in his eyes, Xiao Yi's heart moved, handed him the Coke, Lu Zhou took it, Xiao Yi wanted to wipe the mouth of the can he had drunk with a paper towel, but Lu Zhou waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to, and took a sip of the place where Xiao Yi had drank.
Director Guo slowly opened the lid of the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said: "A person with a thousand faces, he is entangled, he is painful, he is troubled, he is eager for love, but he knows that he is unable to bear it, and he cannot be extravagant, he is desperate, he needs you to release your truest emotions through the role, to find the true self in your heart." β
Lu Zhou didn't answer, nodded, and Director Guo said, "This is the overall impression of this character." β
"Director Guo, what do you think of Hu Yang's performance?" Lu Zhou asked.
"I saw the situation this morning, it's okay." Director Guo said, "Now that there is a small life, it is not easy to find someone like him, of course, these people can't compare with you." β
Lu Zhou was busy and modest, and Director Guo said: "I have one thing to say, Hu Yang is playing your younger brother, and the two of you will play a rival play in the first scene in the afternoon, I think, of course, this is just my personal opinion, you can put it forward and discuss it with me." β
Lu Zhou looked at Director Guo, nodded, and listened to him.
Guo Dao said: "The relationship between brothers is tolerant, strict, but meticulous, the so-called eldest brother is like a father, no matter how the younger brother is unreasonable with you, how to misunderstand you, misunderstand you, you will not be angry, right?" Little brother? β
Xiao Yi smiled: "Yes." Xiao Yi was still wondering, wondering how Director Guo knew that he had a younger brother.
Guo Dao pointed at Xiao Yi and said to Lu Zhou: "Xu Fengwei loves Xu Shujiang, just like you treat your little brother. β
Xiao Yi: "......"
Director Guo said: "You will care about the person closest to you, how is it recently, and even anxious about his love, afraid that he will learn badly, and hope to ......" Director Guo made a gesture of grabbing, and said, "Control him, let him always be a child who obeys you, it is a kind of doting, deep down, I also look forward to him growing up, because of this family, he also has his responsibilities." β
"Got it." Lu Zhou said.
"Let's go change our clothes." Director Guo smiled and said, "Everyone is looking forward to your performance." β
Saying that, Director Guo gave Lu Zhou a thumbs up, Lu Zhou handed the rest of the Coke to Xiao Yi, and went to change his clothes, Xiao Yi wanted to get up and follow, Lu Zhou waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to follow.
Someone came over to ask Director Guo about things, Director Guo nodded, most of the time he smiled, Xiao Yi sat next to him, a little uneasy after eating, he felt that this director was too like a spring breeze, although a little verbose, but it really had the feeling of a kind old professor!
"What's your name?" Guo Dao asked Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi answered, Director Guo nodded, and asked, "How long have you been with Lu Zhou?" β
Xiao Yi: "......"
Xiao Yi listened to this, how can you say how it feels like how long you have been in love, of course, people of Director Guo's age should not be able to flirt with people, so he said: "I came to be his assistant last winter, and it has been almost half a year." β
Director Guo nodded, and said: "Xiao Lu is very talented in acting, but as long as a person is talented in art, life will be lost." β
"Hahaha." Xiao Yi laughed and said, "Yes." β
Director Guo said again: "You have to take good care of him." β
"Yes, yes." Xiao Yi said, "I've been learning how to be an assistant. β
Director Guo hummed with satisfaction, Xiao Yi thought to himself, it is estimated that in this crew, there is no gossip, and there is no performance of quick success, filming is filming.
After following the three crews, and hearing a lot of gossip in the WeChat circle, Xiao Yi gradually understood that different crews also have great styles, sometimes they are simply worlds apart, there are like Director Guo, who takes filming seriously when he starts filming, pondering repeatedly, and discussing roles, and there are also "Iron Horse Glacier", where the director's family has the final say, and the fame controls the whole scene, and there are also those like "The Leftover Boy Era" filmed in the morning, filming is to complete the task, make money, and leave when you get it.
Xiao Yi waited for a while, Lu Zhou was still trying on the costume, today I will find the feeling first, and then take the makeup photos, but in the first scene, it will naturally be prepared for a long time, Xiao Yi went in to help, and when he saw Lu Zhou's outfit, he almost knelt directly.
Lu Zhou wore a Kuomintang military uniform and stood in front of the mirror, Xiao Yi's instinctive reaction was to touch his mobile phone to take pictures of him.
"How?" Lu Zhou said, "Don't look like a nymphomaniac! You're disgusting! β
The people outside were startled by Lu Zhou's sudden roar, Xiao Yi had a black line, briefly came back to his senses, stepped forward to put gloves on Lu Zhou, and his heart was surging, as if it was himself who was about to be in the limelight.
"Good, good...... So handsome. Xiao Yi drooled and said, "Handsome out of the galaxy." β
Lu Zhou was already resolute, with a military uniform, and a good figure, Xiao Yi could almost have a hunch that after the makeup photo came out, I don't know how many people's computers would be sprayed with a screen of Coke.
Lu Zhou smiled sheepishly: "Hehe." β
Xiao Yi laughed, and Lu Zhou's face instantly changed into a handsome guy in an indifferent military uniform, and said, "Who is laughing with you?!" I'm looking for a feeling! β
Xiao Yi: "......"
When Lu Zhou came out, the whole crew was very surprised, and then smiled as expected.
The male No. 1 poplar also came, wearing a tunic and greeting Lu Zhou, and Xiao Yi stood aside to watch the two of them act.
"What are you doing here?" Hu Yang said indifferently.
The camera pushes from outside the courtyard and the camera slowly pushes through.
Lu Zhou stood in the courtyard, made a "okay" movement, put his hands behind his back, turned to look at the poplar in a pitch-black tunic coat, and said with a gentle smile: "This is my home, I can come back whenever I want." β
Lu Zhou's aura obviously completely suppressed Hu Yang, Xiao Yi hadn't felt it before, but every time he turned on the camera, he could feel it more or less, everyone, including those who played with Lu Zhou, not only the protagonist and supporting roles, but also focused on Lu Zhou's character, and they were all very nervous.
This should be Lu Zhou's reputation, acting skills, and unintentionally formed body language cues, resulting in the control of the field. Hu Yang is also very handsome when he looks at it alone, and his skin is very white, but as soon as he stands in front of Lu Zhou, the two brothers instantly become weaker when they are compared.
"Dad is sick because of your anger." Hu Yang said, "My mother is gone!" What more do you want! You're not welcome here! Walk! Let me go! β
"Hey!" Director Guo suddenly said, "Stop, what does the script say?" Why did you forget it again? β
Xiao Yi: "......"
I went there, I can't be wrong in a word, Hu Yang immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'm too nervous to forget." β
Hu Yang took a look at the script, Xiao Yi saw that when Lu Zhou was filming before, almost all of them had roughly memorized the lines, and how much he said it after the most depended on the mood at the time, and sometimes he would change it slightly if he couldn't remember it completely. But Director Guo is obviously very strict, and if he is not satisfied with his lines, he can change it off the field, but after changing it, he can't play on the spot.
The two brothers acted again, Director Guo was not very satisfied, called Hu Yang over, told him a play, and called Lu Zhou over again, patiently repeated it several times, and after the three of them finished speaking, they re-filmed it twice, and this time was over.
Xiao Yi noticed that there were very few people chatting in the crew, and almost all the exchanges were necessary, otherwise there would be no jokes, and no one would play with their mobile phones to swipe Weibo...... I feel that everyone is working very seriously, and their spirits are all tense.
Until dusk, in another scene of Lu Zhou, he was wearing a military trench coat, standing in front of the stream, the gaffer turned on the lights, and the entire stream was rippling with golden light.
"Sometimes I feel." Lu Zhou said, "Maybe next year, next month, or even tomorrow, I won't be able to hold on." β
It's Lu Zhou's one-man show again, Xiao Yi read the script, and knew that this was a scene of Xu Fengwei's girlfriend hanging himself by the stream, and Xu Fengwei's lover was shot dead in this stream by the Japanese army.
"Sometimes I'd rather sleep quietly." Lu Zhou said, "I'm afraid that as soon as I open my eyes, I will see countless people who have died because of me, scolding me." Traitors, traitors......"
ββ¦β¦ But for you, even if it is pointed out by a thousand people. Lu Zhou sighed loudly, but with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, both sad and handsome, his side face formed a silhouette under the gilt of the setting sun, and then knelt down on his knees, with a fingerless glove hand, grabbed the grass roots on the ground by the stream, and picked up a little mud.
The camera pushes his hand.
"Also...... At all costs. Lu Zhou said slowly, and then pressed his finger to his lips.
"Good!" Director Guo said, "That's all for today. β
Lu Zhou got up immediately, didn't bother to change his clothes, came out to shake hands with Director Guo, and then got into the car, took the food in the back seat, Xiao Yi drove to catch up with the next set, but was stuck in the road.
Xiao Yi: "......"
Lu Zhou: "......"
Without waiting for Lu Zhou's instructions, Xiao Yi immediately called the director of another crew, and replied that don't worry, we are also stuck in the road, if you arrive first, Xiao Yi laughed, and Lu Zhou took advantage of this time to lean on the back seat and take a nap.
At night, under the street lamp, everyone was busy for a long time, and finally started filming.
Lu Zhou had gauze on his forehead, his face was ashen, and he walked along a community with the heroine, carrying the heroine's bag of 100,000 yuan in his hand.
Then sitting in the garden, waiting for the heroine's play, a car stopped in front of Lu Zhou, Wu Henggu rolled the window and asked Lu Zhou for directions, and Lu Zhou showed him the way.
The last scene is a scene where several supporting characters set up Lu Zhou and want to drag him to a quiet place to beat him up.
"Click." The director said, "Call it a day." β
Lu Zhou was almost tired, got in the car and left, and when he returned home, Xiao Yi said to Lu Zhou: "Hey." β
Xiao Yi saw Lu Zhou's whole person spread out on the sofa, on all fours, Lu Zhou said, "Do you know how to massage?" β
Xiao Yi came over to massage Lu Zhou, and Lu Zhou said, "Is it okay to press your feet?" β
Xiao Yi was a little strange, and said with a smile: "Why are you so polite today?" β
Xiao Yi took off Lu Zhou's socks, and Lu Zhou said unhappily: "Aren't you afraid that you think I insult you?" β
"How so." Xiao Yi said, "I often press my girlfriend's feet, she wears high heels for a day, and she is too tired to go home." β
"You press it." Lu Zhou wore a cool eye mask on his face, a little wilted, and said, "If you press well, you will get a salary increase-ahhh
Xiao Yi: "......"
"Is this force okay?" Xiao Yi said.
Lu Zhou gritted his teeth, and Xiao Yi said, "A little lighter?" β
"You're going to have to pee it out!" Lu Zhou roared angrily.
Xiao Yi had to be lighter, and Lu Zhou lay lazily, and actually fell asleep after a while.
Xiao Yi was afraid that he would call someone again when he got up, so he covered him with a blanket and slept on another sofa. Lu Zhou actually slept all night, and when he got up the next morning, the two of them were in a hurry, Xiao Yi thought that he had not finished reading the script last night, so he immediately changed his clothes for Lu Zhou, who was half asleep, stuffed it in the car, threw him the script, and drove all the way to the set.
Today, I will shoot "The Wind and the Flocculent", when Xiao Yi is free, he sits on the side and listens to Director Guo's lecture notes, although Director Guo is kind and pleasant, everyone is afraid of him, everyone is obedient, from this day on, Xiao Yi has been with the crew of "The Wind and the Drifting" for two days in a row.
At dinner in the evening, I learned that the second male in Lu Dao was originally fired by Director Guo.
The second male tried a few scenes first, but he didn't always follow what the director said, and he looked at the schedule in the middle and went to shoot an advertisement, and when he came back, Director Guo politely said to him: "You don't need to come tomorrow, I'll go to the producer to talk about it." β
So the second male was angry and left, the producer didn't say anything, and without the second male, Director Guo said that I went to find the actor myself, and the management was better than him, but when Director Guo was looking for the second male to save the scene, the first male and the agency had a lawsuit, and he might not get paid, so he left.
Everyone thought that the crew was going to be disbanded, so Director Guo asked everyone to shoot a supporting role first, went around with the producer, and came back and replaced. Du Mei wanted to take advantage of this opportunity at first to stuff people in this scene, and even Wu Henggu wanted Lu Zhou to bring it in, but Director Guo didn't let him go, and he didn't ask for the last one.
Xiao Yi was speechless, it seems that it is not for nothing that Lu Zhou is so obedient, and it seems that he can learn a lot of things by following Director Guo, although most of them are not used, but it is also good to listen to how he teaches actors and how to interpret the script.
When the sky came down, Director Guo said to Xiao Yi again.
"Xiao Yi." Director Guo asked, "When will your song be written?" β
Xiao Yi: "......"
"I, I, I...... My song? Xiao Yi said.
Director Guo said: "You Mr. Du, didn't you say that you should write a song about Xu Fengea?" β
Xiao Yi slammed and his jaw fell to the ground.
Director Guo said slowly: "It's written, bring the lyrics, I'll show you?" β
"Good...... It's good. Xiao Yi's heartbeat was almost stopping, and he thought to himself why no one told me! Why is no one ...... Tell me!
Xiao Yi went completely crazy, sat for a while, Director Guo hadn't noticed Xiao Yi's abnormality, got up and left, Xiao Yi thought to himself, is this so? Why don't you know the way? Did Du Mei recommend him? But Du Mei had never heard his songs! I haven't even heard Xiao Yi sing, was it recommended by Lu Zhou to Du Mei?
"Xiao Yi?" Du Mei's voice sounded behind him, Xiao Yi was startled, got up hurriedly, and saw that it was Du Mei who came to visit the class.
"How do you sit here by yourself?" Du Mei said, "What about Lu Zhou? β
Du Mei was also accompanied by two company assistants, Xiao Yi got busy and said, "Brother Zhou is in the dressing room." β
"Such." "Yesterday we discussed it...... Oops, Director Guo! Hello! I'm talking about it! β
Director Guo came over to shake hands with Du Mei, and Du Mei said to Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, how long does it take you to write a song?" β
Xiao Yi finally calmed down and said, "Maybe it's going to ...... More than a month. β
"Can you create while working?" Dumay asked again.
Xiao Yi hurriedly said yes, Du Mei said happily: "Okay, I said hello to the film and television company, let's also release a character song, put it in the soundtrack when the time comes, and let them choose the theme song." β
Xiao Yi nodded nervously, and Du Mei and Guo Dao stepped aside to talk.
That night, Lu Zhou looked dazed and said, "Oh? β
"You introduced me! Brother Zhou! Xiao Yi shouted wildly, "Don't pretend to be stupid!" You're the only one who has heard me singβ"
"Get out of here!" Lu Zhou raised his foot, vigilantly trying to kick Xiao Yi away at any time, Xiao Yi sat aside and pressed his foot, Lu Zhou relaxed a little, and said, "If you want to write, you can write, what are you doing so much." β
Xiao Yi sighed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to write." β
Lu Zhou said: "If you can't write it, you go and talk to Mr. Du yourself, and push this job off." β
Xiao Yi hesitated a little and was silent for a moment, he really hasn't created for many years, just write a song, he can write it, but to write a good song, it's like making a movie that hits the box office, seven points rely on inspiration, three points depend on luck, it is very difficult.
"You're such a wretch!" Lu Zhou became angry, stared at Xiao Yi, and said angrily, "Do you think I'm serious? Do you really want to push this job?! β
"But." Xiao Yi was a little scared and said, "Hey, Brother Zhou, you haven't done anything in our business, you don't know what to do......"
"Fart ββ!" Lu Zhou said angrily, "Do you know what you are doing for Lu?" Yes? Do you know the way? β
Here it is again, Xiao Yi thought to himself, and knew that Lu Dao would definitely scold him like this.
Lu Zhou said coldly: "What are you afraid of?" Before you start doing it, what are you afraid of? Do you want to compensate for the loss if you do something bad? Do you want to make a box office? Do you have to give you a bag and win an award before you create? Ha? What are you doing for a *silk? It's because you don't dare, you don't dare to do anything, you're a wreck! β
"You don't dare to try, you're afraid of hitting the street, so you're a *silk." Lu Zhou's tone softened a little when he said that he said seriously, "Your son will also be a * silk, your grandson will also be * silk, and your children and grandchildren will be infinitely defeated, all * silk, that's all." β
"Brother Zhou is right, the eighteenth generation of my ancestors is also the most silk." Xiao Yi said sincerely.
Lu Zhou really couldn't do anything about Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi smiled, continued to press Lu Zhou's feet, was silent for a while, and said, "Brother Zhou, thank you." β
Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then said inexplicably: "It's not me who recommended you, what do you thank me for." Forget it, don't talk about this, when will Mr. Du let you start writing? β
"She said as soon as possible." Xiao Yi said, "I'll start work tomorrow." β
Lu Zhou said: "The studio is ready? Where to write? β
Xiao Yi said blankly: "Go to the crew." β
Lu Zhou said: "You are sick! What can be written by going to the crew! You're creating! Got it?! Creation! Don't do it when you write in the crew, you collect garbage on the spot! β
Xiao Yi: "......"
So, Xiao Yi was thrown into the company's audition room, and Lin Yao gave him a table, a piano, and composing and arranging software, plus a stack of papers.
"But I ......" Xiao Yi was locked behind the bars and said sadly, "no one takes care of you!" β
"Get out, who needs you to take care of it." Lu Zhou's face did not change and his heart did not skip a beat, he ignored him at all, and turned to leave.
