Chapter 0325: Mermaid
Okay.
Xu Hengzhou turned around and left, planning to get another cup of Coke to drink, the bad mood caused by this abandoned situation can only be dissipated by drinking another bottle of happy fat house water!
As for the salt water, of course he couldn't drink it.
Xu Hengzhou drank a bottle of happy fat house water again, went to the locker room to find Liu Yiqian, just turned a corner, walked to the corridor outside the locker room door, and wanted to throw the empty bottle in his hand into the trash can next to him, when he saw the door of the locker room being pushed open.
Originally, the lights in the corridor were cold white lights, shining on the cold marble floor, giving it a cool feeling.
But the swaying hem of the shirt covered with cold blue sequins that emerged from the locker room, and the mysterious and cold light reflected made Xu Hengzhou's heart feel cool in summer.
Then there are the rounded shoulders and the ice-like figure.
The other party went out sideways.
If you go a little further, you will see a fair and pure face.
This beauty should have been cold and unreachable, and because of the messy and wild eyebrows between the eyebrows, it actually looked a little childish, but it was a little more amiable.
Xu Hengzhou was dumbfounded for a moment before he shouted: "Sissi."
Liu Yiqian originally lowered her head slightly and walked very slowly step by step, but at this moment she suddenly heard Xu Hengzhou calling her, and subconsciously looked up and saw that it was Xu Hengzhou, and hurriedly blocked her face with her hand:
"Don't look at me, I haven't put on makeup!"
She had just finished changing her clothes and was going to go to the dressing room and ask the makeup artist to put on some makeup for her.
is the kind of particularly eye-catching makeup that is worthy of her today's shining clothes!
When Xu Hengzhou heard Liu Yiqian say this, he immediately said:
"I think you look good now, your clothes are especially suitable for no makeup."
"I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen."
Liu Yiqian was still covering her face, but the gap between her middle finger and index finger opened a little, and a pair of bright big eyes glared at Xu Hengzhou fiercely through the gap:
"I don't believe in your aesthetic at all!"
"Although I already have an understanding of Xu Hengzhou's aesthetics, this time I support Xu Hengzhou."
Xu Hengzhou heard Stephen Chow's voice only to find that the other party had quietly appeared on the opposite side of the corridor.
He immediately went to look at Liu Yiqian: "Look, I just said that no makeup is more compatible with this outfit!" ”
Liu Yiqian pursed her lips and still didn't believe it.
Stephen Chow's eyes still had the surprise of seeing Liu Yiqian's outfit for the first time, and when he saw the interaction between Xu Hengzhou and Liu Yiqian, a role in the movie he was conceiving recently flashed in his mind.

He took a few steps closer and asked Xu Hengzhou and Liu Yiqian: "Have you two seen Zhong Liti's version of the mermaid?" ”
A gif picture flashed in Xu Hengzhou's mind, although he hadn't seen this movie, but there was a period of time before the crossing that Zhong Liti's version of the mermaid out of the water was very popular, and at that time, short videos were also very popular This classic film and television drama beauty picture is also often brushed.
So as soon as Stephen Chow said it at this time, he immediately had an impression.
"Yes."
"I haven't seen it."
Xu Hengzhou and Liu Yiqian answered at the same time.
Stephen Chow asked Xu Hengzhou with a smile: "Isn't it beautiful?" ”
"Beauty." Xu Hengzhou replied very decisively, and what was even more decisive was the sentence that followed: "But there is no Si Qianmei!" ”
Liu Yiqian sneered and was stuck in her throat.
She cleared her throat and didn't speak, but when she tucked her belly in, her back straightened.
This skirt is a bit like the design of a fishtail skirt, which shows off the figure a little bit and is a little inattentive, and the demeanor collapses.
Sister Shu Qi said that this skirt was originally specially customized for a plot in the movie "Journey to the West".
Someone wants to frame and make the heroine become a mermaid.
Then prove to all the villagers that she is also a youkai.
Although the latter part of the plot has been deleted, this skirt has already been made.
So it's a dress that a mermaid wears.
As soon as she thought about it, she heard Director Stephen Chow suddenly ask her:
"Are you willing to play a mermaid?"
Liu Yiqian was a little confused when asked: "Huh? ”
Xu Hengzhou was thoughtful when he heard Stephen Chow ask.
Stephen Chow asked about the mermaid, and he immediately thought of a movie about environmental protection that the other party would shoot in a few years.
The main character of this movie is a mermaid.
And it's a 3D movie.
What does this movie say?
The investment of 300 million earned a box office of 3.3 billion, which can be said to be a very successful commercial film.
But the commercialization is too successful.
So much so that its rating is very low, and it is complained by many viewers who don't like to watch commercial movies.
And the point is that the love line in it seems somewhat stiff.
There is really no sense of CP between Deng Chao and Lin Yun.
Xu Hengzhou recalled some relevant information about this movie, and heard Liu Yiqian ask Stephen Chow what exactly he meant when he played the mermaid, and Stephen Chow also gave his own answer.
Sure enough, Stephen Chow said that he planned to shoot a movie about mermaids in his next movie.
However, he has never had a specific concept of the casting of the mermaid in his heart, but seeing Liu Yiqian's style today has provided him with a lot of inspiration.
After Stephen Chow finished speaking, he looked at Xu Hengzhou again:
"Why don't I send an invitation to both of you to play the male and female protagonists in my movie together.
The love scenes between the male protagonist and the female protagonist in my movie are very important.
I haven't been able to set up what kind of love this love is, but seeing the two of you, I have some ideas. ”
Xu Hengzhou never expected that there was something about her, he thought that Stephen Chow simply saw Liu Yiqian's dress, and felt that Liu Yiqian could play this role.
He and Liu Yiqian glanced at each other and brought it over with a sentence: "Of course I hope to cooperate with you if I have the opportunity".
In Stephen Chow's ears, this is the two of them who have preliminarily agreed to his invitation.
But Xu Hengzhou has a different idea, he remembers that because this is a 3D movie, the amount of investment required is very large, and the cost of 300 million is too much for a movie, everyone has a wait-and-see attitude, and did not say that they are willing to invest in this movie independently.
There was still a funding gap when this movie was about to be filmed, and Xu Hengzhou wondered if it was possible for him to get involved and invest in it?
After all, this is a movie with a cost of 300 million and a box office of 3.3 billion.
If he can invest, those are pure profits.
However, the premise is that there are no major changes to this movie, if he and Liu Yiqian are allowed to act, it should be better than the original box office.
After all, the most criticized thing in this movie was the emotional drama.
He felt that he and Liu Yiqian still had a sense of CP.
As for some of the other criticisms in this film, it involves another idea of his.
Before that, he tried to work as an assistant director in the movie "Oldboy", and shot a short clip independently.
And he himself is also thinking about developing in the direction of directing, and he is very familiar with this mermaid movie.
If it is possible, can he chat with Stephen Chow and serve as the other party's deputy?
If he can participate in the filming of this film as an assistant director, then he can make some improvements and optimizations in shooting according to the public's comments on this movie.
This is a more targeted direction to improve the quality of the whole film, so as to also improve one's own directing ability.
Xu Hengzhou felt that his idea was not impossible, but he had to wait.
If he wants to win the trust of Stephen Chow, I'm afraid he will have to work the movie "Journey to the West", and he wonders if he can follow Stephen Chow from a while later to get a chance to learn.
That's what he thinks, and that's what he does.
After accompanying Liu Yiqian to take more than 20 photos, Liu Yiqian was tired of filming because she also changed her makeup a few times, and she planned to go back to the hotel after changing her clothes, but Xu Hengzhou had no intention of going back to the hotel, but returned to the set after sending Liu Yiqian back to the hotel.
He easily found Stephen Chow in the center of the crowd, and then walked over and stood silently in the middle of a group of staff members who were waiting for Stephen Chow to release his work, watching the other party direct the staff on the set to do things.
Stephen Chow is the kind of person who is particularly delicate in doing things, every one of his instructions cannot be issued, he is in order, and he can clearly hear that he has an unconventional sense of control over these things.
Although more than a dozen staff members surrounded him, he was not entirely asked questions by the staff.
Instead, they asked questions in order according to their own ideas.
And it is not to rush a solution immediately, but to understand all the details clearly.
It even connects the connections between these issues in various departments.
Then he gives solutions one by one, and sometimes even one of his answers can solve 2 or 3 problems.
This greatly improves efficiency.
At the same time, it will also make the staff feel very relieved and have an inexplicable sense of security.
Xu Hengzhou suddenly discovered that being a director actually requires management skills.
However, this management ability is more nuanced than the management ability of managing a studio or managing an organization, and it is aimed at business rather than people.
At least for a director of Stephen Chow's status, the proportion of dealing with the relationship between people will be less, and more will deal with the problem of filmmaking.
This requires the director to be very familiar with the entire crew from lighting, radio, photography to field affairs.
Xu Hengzhou reflected on himself and found that most of the time before he was still focused on acting, and he was relatively less aware of the entire crew.
may have experienced a few crews at the beginning, and he would also say that he helped the crew do something, do chores or something.
But later, when he gradually played the leading role, most of the time he was immersed in the role, and rarely helped the crew to do some other work.
Xu Hengzhou suddenly felt that he couldn't go on like this.
If he really wants to develop in the direction of directing, then he must be more familiar with the crew from now on.
And it is substituted from different roles and different angles, so as to be familiar with the basic operation of the crew.
After the problems of this wave of staff were basically solved, the people around Stephen Chow gradually dispersed, Xu Hengzhou took a step forward, greeted Stephen Chow, and asked him:
"Director Zhou, when did you first get the idea of wanting to be a director?"
Stephen Chow's brain was running at high speed for a while, and when he heard Xu Hengzhou's question, he was also happy to answer this relatively easy question: "20 years ago. ”
Xu Hengzhou was surprised, he didn't expect to be able to trace it back so many years ago.
He knows more about Stephen Chow's identity as an actor, and he really doesn't know much about the other party's directorial career, except for a few finished movies.
"Director Zhou, why did you come up with the idea of wanting to make a movie?"
Stephen Chow replied to Xu Hengzhou after a little recollection:
"It seems to be because I had three movies back then, two of which I didn't do very well, and only one of which I stuck to the style I wanted, and I got good feedback. At that time, I thought that if I wanted to have my own style, I had to take the lead myself. ”
When Xu Hengzhou heard this, he nodded again and again, although he is the kind of actor whose style is relatively changeable, but in fact, he also has his own preferred role type and preferred plot and style.
Comparatively speaking, he prefers to act in some films with richer character arcs and more profound story cores.
If you have to say it, it is a literary film, or it is a commercial film with the core of literature and art.
Otherwise, if he plays those roles that have no brains, such as messy idol dramas, he will feel that what he is acting does not have much meaning.
Ahem, I feel like I'm still floating high!
If he just crossed over, in order to survive and for money, then he would be willing to play anything.
It's not because it's a little bit of money at this time, so I'm starting to have a choice!
After Xu Hengzhou self-criticized and self-reflected, he heard Stephen Chow look at the busy set and continue:
"To be honest, in addition, I really wanted to be a director back then, and this desire was more than wanting to act in a literary film, and my second wish back then was to act in a literary film.
However, my biggest interest back then was to be behind the scenes, and if I had the chance, I wanted to take care of screenwriters and producers, and directing was the final goal. ”
Xu Hengzhou smiled: "I found that my interests are a little similar to yours. ”
After listening to what Stephen Chow said, he suddenly knew that the time had come, and he proposed to follow Stephen Chow to learn to shoot at this time, and the other party had a great chance of agreeing.
So Xu Hengzhou told Stephen Chow his thoughts very sincerely.
"Actually, I also want to work part-time behind the scenes......"
Stephen Chow was actually not surprised, what Xu Hengzhou said, because every actor basically had the idea of wanting to go behind the scenes.
But he was a bit of Xu Hengzhou's last request to learn from him.
