[The response to your spell is very good, I helped you apply for the Newcomer Director Award here, it seems to be ...... A little chance. 】

After a busy day of shooting, Lu Zhengyi had just returned to the hotel where he was resting, when his mobile phone vibrated and rang.

Pick it up and take a look, Zhang Xueming sent him a message.

Although it was close to the early hours of the morning after returning to the hotel, under normal working days, neither he nor Zhang Xueming had started to rest.

[Did you go back?] 】

[I remember that at this time, you should have already left work.] 】

[Is it possible to video?] It's a bit inconvenient to type and talk, and I still have some work on my side. 】

Lu Zhengyi has not replied yet, and Zhang Xueming has three messages in succession.

[I'm back, I'm getting on the elevator.] 】

Lu Zhengyi silently retreated to the back of the crowd, edited a message and sent it over, and glanced at the floor where the elevator was rising.

"How?"

In the elevator, Xu Feng in front turned around and asked teasingly, "Your wife came to check the post?" ”

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the elevator fell silent.

"Huh?"

Zhang Yuming looked back.

"Huh?"

Applejack looks back.

"Huh?"

In the same elevator, it was full of people from the plum civet crew.

At this moment, they all turned around in a trance and looked at the burly man standing at the end.

That face was so familiar, yet so unfamiliar.

"Wife?"

Zhang Yuming asked out loud, "Director Lu, are you married?" ”

Lu Zhengyi put down his phone and coughed lightly, "Ahem, not yet." ”

"Not ...... yet"

Yu Li muttered the word.

"Is that there?"

Zhang Yuming's eyes widened, "It can't really be that little Mr. Zhang, right?" ”

"Wait, Director Lu, aren't you two in a cooperative relationship?"

"No, when did it happen? This year, you have spent nearly ten months filming with us, where did you get the effort......

What's going on.

Earlier, when I talked to me in private, he also told me that young people should work hard to make money, and don't always spend time on love.

Now turn your head and talk about it yourself?

In the eyes of outside fans, Director Lu, who shoots three dramas a year and has no time to rest, can still have time to fall in love?

Yes?

"Amin, you don't understand."

Xu Feng was beside him and patted him on the shoulder, "High-end hunters often use the most simple way to hunt. ”

"But ......"

Zhang Yuming glanced at Xu Feng next to him blankly, and then looked at Lu Zhengyi behind him, just about to say something.

"It's here." Lu Zhengyi glanced at the elevator that had arrived, and hurriedly lost his sentence, "Everyone have a good rest, tomorrow the last scene of the school scene will be filmed, and the normal shooting will be officially over." ”

As he spoke, he walked directly past the crowd and walked outside.

But when he got out of the elevator, Lu Zhengyi's footsteps suddenly stopped, turned to look at them, and replied with a smile, "By the way, the news Xu Feng said just now may be true, but it is only possible, we haven't discussed it properly." ”

Everyone is so familiar with it, and it may be even more familiar in the future.

When you get married, you don't need to hide it.

It's a good way to get notice, but it's a bit sudden.

[What about the video now?] 】

Ignoring the group of people chattering behind him, Lu Zhengyi picked up his phone as he walked towards his room.

Zhang Xueming's side replied almost in seconds after he replied to the message.

But he was in the elevator just now, and he didn't have time to read the news.

[I was in the elevator just now, and the signal was not good. 】

[The last shooting of this live scene will be held tomorrow, so it will be a little longer to pack up at night, and it will be late to go back to the hotel. 】

[By the way, you said you reported the film? ] Reported to whom. 】

As he replied to the message, he swiped his room card and opened the door.

Lu Zhengyi first explained the reason for coming back tonight, and then asked about winning the award.

However, as soon as he entered the door, there was a 'buzzing' vibrating sound from his mobile phone.

Lu Zhengyi answered the video call, and on the screen of the mobile phone, Zhang Xueming's ultra-close face suddenly appeared in the mobile phone, but the camera quickly pulled away, leaving only the side face.

Very perfect for the side face.

Three-dimensional and delicate facial features, coupled with snow-white skin, there is a ...... The characters who come out of the anime are the same.

"So fast."

Zhang Xueming's tired voice rang from the phone.

At the same time, her eyes were no longer on the mobile phone, but on the computer in front of her, and from time to time, there would be a 'tuk tuk' mouse button sound.

The faint fluorescence shone on Zhang Xueming's face, making the cold-toned face even fairer.

She appears to be making a video call on her phone, which is now presumably mounted on a phone holder next to her computer.

Lu Zhengyi recalled the details on her desk.

"Why don't you speak?"

Zhang Xueming didn't hear Lu Zhengyi's answer, so she couldn't help but speak again, and glanced at the camera with her eyes again.

"Oh, I was wondering where I put your phone."

Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "This camera is facing your side face, and in the direction, it should be the mobile phone holder next to your computer screen." ”

"Judging by the light in your background, you should have turned off the lights in the room and turned on only the lamp on the table."

"But this angle, it feels like you've deliberately adjusted it. I remember the last time I was in the video, the angle didn't seem to be here, and you moved your phone holder. ”

As a director.

As a director who has just started directing independently.

Lu Zhengyi is now very sensitive to the camera, looking at the picture in the camera, he can roughly imagine the picture outside the camera.

This is probably because I have been in front of the director's monitor for a long time, and I have watched too many shots.

“……”

In the video screen, Zhang Xueming's expression was a little unnatural, and she unconsciously reached out and stroked her hair, "cough...... There was a little bit of movement. ”

"It's good, this angle can highlight the beauty of the side face."

Lu Zhengyi complimented, then put the phone on the table in the small living room, and finally sat down.

“…… Thank you. ”

Zhang Xueming hesitated for this compliment, and then politely replied with thanks.

But as soon as she said it, she seemed to think it strange again, and quickly changed the topic.

"Yes, although from the box office, Double Pupil is the highest box office of your three dramas."

Zhang Xueming explained, "But the discussion of the mantra is the highest. ”

"A lot of people are talking about things outside of the plot."

"The prototype of the Big Black Buddha Mother, how did Chenjiacun connect with the Big Black Buddha Mother in the past, as well as the wandering god culture in Taicheng such as the head of the official general, there are many, many derivative stories, I think if you take this work to participate in the selection, you may have a chance to win awards."

Lu Zhengyi couldn't help but laugh as he listened.

"Ming, do you really know what you're talking about? Curse, that's a curse. ”

"You sent this film to the judges, do you want to give the judges some spiritual pollution?"

"If you don't give us the prize, we will curse them?"

As far as he knows, it is very difficult to win awards in the genre of horror films.

This is true both at home and abroad.

Like the Best Director Award, the Best Actor Award, and the Best Supporting Actor Award...... Feature films are generally the easiest to win awards and get high scores.

followed by romance films, followed by science fiction films, action movies, and crime films......

And horror movies are the last, and the standards are the same no matter which country.

Lu Zhengyi really rarely heard that there are any directors and actors of the crew who can win awards for horror films.

"In fact, in addition to the type, it depends on the degree of discussion."

Zhang Xueming also felt a little funny when she listened to Lu Zhengyi's words, "The discussion degree of the spell is really high. ”

"Remember, what I told you about the same people? Although it has ended, there are still people who are working on similar themes. ”

"Because the folk Dharma culture involved in this film is really in line with the life of the Tang people, especially in the south, where the officials and generals are headed, Guan Gong Temple, please come to God...... These are things that people are really interested in. ”

The threshold for being a Taoist priest is still quite high.

Therefore, in the double pupils, although there is a lot of content, Lu Zhengyi also asked the people of the mountain view to assist and correct the axe in order to pursue the truth.

But for those cultural displays, the audience's interest is really not as good as that of folk teachings.

Like what is Mazu, the God of Wealth, and the Lord of the Land...... These well-known gods have a lot of stories among the people, and many viewers often hear adults mention them when they are young.

But those things in the eyes, it is difficult for them to discuss them in depth.

Because those cultures have thresholds, if you want to understand them deeply, you have to pay attention to a lot of books and knowledge that are easy to learn.

And that knowledge is really not as attractive as the interesting folk tales.

"But most of all, you're their one."

But then, Zhang Xueming added a little more, "For the sake of your father's face, they will give more or less points." ”

"If you win an award, your resume will look better, many big directors, in addition to their own works in the minds of the audience, must also have a lot of awards as the cornerstone."

"Of course, the other thing is that because very few people can do it, if you do it, it will be different."

It's like everyone used to make horror movies badly.

Therefore, they all feel that horror movies have no market and are traded at a loss.

But since Lu Zhengyi took that step, the situation has been different.

Everyone thinks that this market is still profitable.

And in this process, if Lu Zhengyi can still be recognized by some old seniors in the circle, then no matter how the horror film market develops in the future, no one can forget who started all this.

This is enough to be recorded in the history of film and put in the textbooks of various drama schools and film schools.

It's something like a milestone.

In the XX year, the barren horror film market ushered in a hot wind, and who brought the wind was Lu Zhengyi, a generation of famous director. ’

Zhang Xueming thought about how to describe those textbooks.

"If you want to try, then try it."

Lu Zhengyi spread his hands, "So, are you just going to talk to me about this matter today?" ”

"Of course not, there are still a lot of contract details to be reconciled."

Zhang Xueming continued, "Last time we mentioned that there are many couples in this circle who make marriage agreements for business considerations, and then go through their own contracts. ”

"On my side, I don't recommend it, because this kind of marriage agreement is extremely unreliable."

"I want us to be a real couple while keeping our contracts. It's like you've been emphasizing responsibility, you're going to be responsible for this marriage, and I'm going to be responsible for this relationship, and we're going to maintain this relationship together. Whatever the future holds, we should prioritize the idea of a stable relationship. ”

……

……

"It's mad, director. This kind of plot is filmed, can it be broadcast? ”

"Huh? Don't you pay attention to the entertainment industry? Lu Zhengyi has not heard of it. ”

"I've come to do group performances, so there must be attention, I've been in the fan circle for many years. But in the entertainment industry, is he famous? is just a director, how famous can he be at such a young age, and the average young director doesn't have as much attention on the Internet as those idols, right? ”

"Ah, are you out of the Internet, Director Lu, I have been scolded several times because the film is too underworld."

"Please, Sister Li, even if he is a public figure, you can't expect so many people in the country to know him, right? And...... He still makes horror movies, I don't watch horror movies, and even if I do, I only watch foreign movies. ”

"But you have to know about the crew, since it's work."

"Alas, I originally heard that there was a big job and I could meet a lot of celebrities, so I came. Outcome...... I'm a little disappointed, it doesn't seem to be very famous, the actors of this crew, I basically don't know them anyway, and the autograph book is empty until now, so there seems to be no need to sign it. ”

“…… Indeed, you are right. ”

……

On the rooftop,

Several young and beautiful girls in school clothes and double ponytails are standing in a row.

Among them, one of the two girls standing behind her was speechless, and she rolled her eyes inadvertently.

She shouldn't have accosted this complaining person just now.

Indeed, with Lu Zhengyi's age and qualifications, he will definitely not be known to everyone in the country.

Arrange random interviews on the streets, and ask passers-by to report the name of the director they know, and his name only has a certain probability of appearing.

Even if Lu Zhengyi has been a frequent visitor to hot searches for a while, many people who don't pay attention to the genre of horror movies, or people who don't even watch movies and are busy every day, it's normal for them not to know others.

After all, not everyone will go to the hot search list every day.

However, these group performers are not passers-by.

Even if she doesn't like to watch horror movies, hasn't she considered it for the sake of her work to understand the director's shooting style and preferences, so as to stand out in the process of being a group performer, and strive to leave an impression in the director's mind and get more opportunities for progress?

Is she really here to act, become famous, and get better living conditions as the purpose of becoming a group performer?

And the actors of this crew, are they really not famous?

Thinking of this, Huang Yunli couldn't help but glance at the corner of the rooftop, where they each put their bags.

Girls always like to buy bags, just like boys like boys like to buy shoes.

Often from the bag that a girl carries, you can see her family conditions.

'Pranda. ’

'It's a luxury brand. ’

Although it is a brand that focuses on men's ready-to-wear, it also offers products such as handbags, perfumes, accessories, etc., which are suitable for female users. ’

With just one glance, she could see the brand of the bag that the girl was carrying.

And through the brand, the speechlessness in Huang Yunli's heart suddenly dissipated, and was replaced by envy.

Obviously, she can be regarded as a small supporting role, and she is just a group performer, but she envies others in turn.

If it weren't for Gao Fang, the family conditions of the girl next to her would probably be good.

came to be a group performer, it should be to experience life, or to be a star-chasing girl who can get closer to the 'idol'.

People like this have become more and more in this market with the rise of the era of the draft.

They don't care about pay, they don't care about opportunities.

But while having fun and experiencing life, it inevitably takes a hit to those of them who work hard to live.

"Ali, come here."

In the distance, Xiaowei was helping the girls wrap their ponytails together and tie them into knots one after another.

And after completing the last knot, she beckoned to Huang Yunli.

"Okay, Sister Wei."

Huang Yunli nodded hurriedly and walked over there.

However, at the moment when he turned his back to the girl behind him, the expression on his face was a little untensed, and he looked very lost.

"Don't affect the mood of waiting for a while."

Xiaowei glanced at her, but didn't say much.

“…… Yes, Sister Wei. ”

Huang Yunli smiled awkwardly.

Again, I didn't ask much, after all, there were other people next to him.

Xiaowei silently helped her tie her ponytail, and then entangled with the ponytails of other group performers.

For the whispered conversation of the two girls at the end.

She heard, but pretended not to.

She could more or less judge from the words of the two of them the reason for Huang Yunli's disappointed expression.

This Huang Yunli is not like these group performances, she was only found in the real scene of this school.

She has been used as a relatively important supporting role, and she has gone with them for a few real scenes.

I have been following the scene from the sundries department.

She plays a delivery girl who doesn't even have a name in the play.

In the process of delivering food to Huang Yaozu, she fell in love with this down-and-out and decadent agent.

It's just one-sided.

After all, there is an age gap between the two, one is a middle-aged uncle who has been divorced, and the other is a high school student who is still in school.

And in the next scene, she is going to die here.

Everyone held hands, and she took the lead, tied a ponytail, like dumplings, and jumped down from this rooftop.

……

"Director Lu, how do I feel that you are particularly unfriendly to couples."

On the playground downstairs, in the temporary tent, Lu Zhengyi, who was waiting to prepare on the rooftop, heard Zhang Yuming's complaint next to him.

"Except for the first play, Fa Mao and the female reporter have an open-ended ending, and they may be alive."

"It's like a curse, Li Ruonan's boyfriend died. Double pupils, the wife and daughter of Huang Huotu's family love him very much, but he is gone. ”

"Now this first commandment, not only Li Guoqiang is going to die, but his wife is also going to die. Huang Yaozu, now this little girlfriend is also going to die, leaving his ex-wife alone on a boat. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and he laughed, "When you told me that this play is a double male lead, I was quite looking forward to what kind of double male protagonist it was." ”

"Now I understand that it was not enough to die only one main character before. Now the two male protagonists can die two main characters, plus a few more supporting roles, and everyone dies neatly. ”

It's not just unfriendly.

It's like the Qixi Festival, and the single dog who goes shopping alone has overflowing with resentment.

"Wait, what's my business?"

Lu Zhengyi corrected, "This script was written by a screenwriter. ”

"As a director, as an actor, as a production team, we just express the words on the script more vividly."

"He's the one who writes the story, and we're the storytellers, it's different."

"Alas, before they died, they talked about it."

Zhang Yuming sat on the chair, tilted his head, and felt a little regretful, "When will I be able to have a sweet love." ”

"Young people don't want to make money, what kind of love they have." Chang Zhengwei sat on the other side of Lu Zhengyi, also tilting his head and leaning the back of his neck on the back of the chair, "When I was your age, I was on the set every day, thinking about being an actor." ”

"Teacher Chang, why does your sentence sound so familiar." Zhang Yuming looked at the top of the tent blankly, "But I really want to fall in love." ”

And Chang Zhengwei also looked at the top of the tent sluggishly, "I really want to receive an award." ”

Lu Zhengyi looked left and right, shook his head helplessly, and quickly interrupted the two male protagonists' thoughts of dreaming, and said:

"Okay, okay, stop dreaming, hurry up and prepare."

"Xiaowei's side has been tied, remember, be flustered, panic!"

"Don't look so lifeless and put me in the mirror, and adjust the state for me."

Zhang Yuming sat up straight in a trance, "Alas......"

He sighed and stood up.

Chang Zhengwei did the same, sighed and stood up.

The two of them seemed to be stimulated by something.

"Director Lu, you can't secretly get off alone."

Zhang Yuming suddenly turned his head and said.

"Don't talk about it, definitely don't talk about it."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "What kind of love do you talk about in this career rising period." ”

Marry directly, what kind of love to talk about.

During the rising period of your career, you can't procrastinate, just take one step and find a like-minded wife.

"You can't secretly take the prize."

Chang Zhengwei also turned his head and said.

"Definitely don't take it secretly, don't worry."

Lu Zhengyi hurriedly waved his hand, "Except for spells, you are the protagonist in my other dramas." ”

"If I win the prize, you will definitely be indispensable."

"Let's go, let's get ready for the camera."

With that, the two turned around and walked out of the tent again.

However, the moment they stepped out of the tent, the spirits of the two of them were completely different.

This made Lu Zhengyi a little helpless.

Isn't it just that you want to get married, or maybe you will get a rookie director award, what a big deal.
