Chapter 15: Xi Xi and Mom
Three days later, at nine o'clock in the evening, in the director's room.
In front of the computer, Lu Gao Sheng and Xiao Chu sat down, and there was a sample of "River God" on the screen.
After three days of concerted efforts by the whole crew, the first two episodes of "River God" have been filmed.
Lu Gaosheng nodded while looking at the sample, and his slightly tired face couldn't hide a smile.
"Xiao Xiao, you are a screenwriter, tell me, what do you think?" Lu Gaosheng looked at Xiao Chu.
Xiao Chu replied with a smile: "Yes, basically I have filmed all the effects I expected." ”
It's not that he's complimenting, or perfunctory, but he's telling the truth.
Although the project is a bit rushed, the effect of the first two episodes is really good, and it is not much different from the version of Xiao Chu's previous life in his memory.
The actor who plays the little river god, although the appearance is not the same as the original, is also full of spirituality, and he performs the wit and laziness of the little river god, which is very flavorful.
The actor who plays the second male young master, Ding Da, looks gentle and elegant, and does not lose his youthful enthusiasm, which is also very in line with the character design.
And the heroine Little Goddess is the most satisfying character for Xiao Chu, basically carved out of the same mold as the original, which can be regarded as a god restoration.
The old river god, the old goddess, the old housekeeper, the detective who is full of words and other characters are also vivid and have their own characteristics.
In the drama "River God", as long as these main characters stand up, and then make the suspenseful and mysterious atmosphere enough, it will not be much worse.
Or in other words, it's already worked.
Xiao Chu gave the first two episodes a score of 90!
Hearing Xiao Chu's words, Lu Gaosheng laughed.
In fact, he is also very satisfied with the first two episodes.
The above is urgent, and the progress is pushed quickly, but the shooting effect is unexpectedly good, even if it is an old director who has been filming for decades, he can't help but feel a little proud of such an achievement.
"Xiao Xiao, you can continue to write the next play, I dare to conclude that it is hard to say whether this drama can be a big hit, but it will definitely not be cut in half. ”
"You can safely write the remaining 16 episodes so that you don't have to rush when you continue filming. ”
Lu Gaosheng said to Xiao Chu with a smile.
The first two episodes worked well, which made him feel good, and he had already begun to imagine the scene of "River God" being launched, and the clicks soared all the way, triggering a movie-watching boom.
Xiao Chu nodded, then got up and said, "I will." Director Lu, then I'll go first, you always rest early, recuperate your spirits, and continue to work tomorrow. ”
"Well, go ahead, have a good rest, and try to start writing the next play early. I can't sleep right now, I need to get the script out for tomorrow's shoot. ”
After coming out of Director Lu's room, Xiao Chu returned to his room.
Director Wu wasn't there, I don't know if he was going to work or going outside to make a call.
Xiao Chu saw that it was still early, so he left the hotel and walked casually.
It's the end of August, less than September, and the weather in Hengcheng is still relatively hot, only the evenings are cooler and some wind.
The area around the Hengcheng Film and Television Base at this point is very lively.
Many crews are having dinners, socializing, and even filming.
Group performances, group leaders, etc., are even more idle, either waiting for the play, or helping the assistant director find someone, and some people are drinking and playing in food stalls and roadside stalls, which is a noisy scene.
Xiao Chu walked slowly alone, the plot and pictures that he was going to write tomorrow flashed in his mind, and his mood was also very pleasant.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
When I took it out, it was from home.
"Hey, Xixi?" Xiao Chu answered the phone.
After a few seconds, a timid voice came from the other side, "Brother, it's me." ”
Xiao Chu asked gently, "Have you eaten?" Why did you suddenly remember to call me?"
"Well, I ate it. I wanted to call my brother because ......"
"Because of what?"
"Because I ......" The timid voice on the other side was too soft, and Xiao Chu couldn't hear it clearly.
This made him raise an eyebrow.
Just as I was about to ask again, a middle-aged woman's voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone, "Xi Xi passed the piano grade 10 exam today, and I want to tell you the good news, but this girl is embarrassed to say." ”
This middle-aged woman is Xiao Chu's mother, Wang Cuixiang, obviously she saw the past, so she said it for her.
Xiao Chu smiled: "This is a great event, how can you be embarrassed to say it?"
Wang Cuixiang said: "Teacher Xi said that she is very talented in playing and can try to take the road of professional piano, so I want to ask your opinion." ”
"In the past, I was afraid that studying piano would cost too much money, so I didn't want to tell you. ”
Xiao Chu said without hesitation: "Since I have this talent in the past, then of course I will strongly support it." ”
"As for money, you let her not worry, now that I also go to work to earn money, our family can afford it. ”
"As long as she likes it. ”
Wang Cuixiang replied: "That's what I told her, but you also know the character of the past, I said it's useless, I have to come." ”
Xiao Chu smiled: "Then you give your phone to Xi Xi, and I'll tell her." ”
"Okay. But wait a minute, I remember something and want to ask you. ”
Xiao Chu was a little surprised, and replied, "You said." ”
Wang Cuixiang said: "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to get engaged to your girlfriend at the end of the year? Did her family agree?
Xiao Chu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect his mother to say this, he bit his lower lip and said, "Mom, we have ......"
"Xiao Chu, I know that you young people don't want to be bound by marriage so early, and want to play for a few more years. Mom doesn't want to force you, it's just that my body is getting weaker and weaker year by year, and I don't know when I'm leaving. I'm afraid that you will get married late, I will be gone, and no one will bring you children. Wang Cuixiang said in a sad voice.
"Mom, I'...... Don't worry, the other side agreed, and they will definitely get engaged at the end of the year!" Hearing his mother's earnest words, Xiao Chu couldn't bear to let her down, and didn't say anything about breaking up with his girlfriend.
In order to provide for him to go to school, his parents opened an orchard and planted dozens of acres of navel oranges.
The money for contracting forest land and buying fruit seedlings was borrowed.
In order to repay debts and support two children, the two worked day and night, Xiao Chu's father Xiao Dongshan was fine, he had been a soldier and his body was tough.
My mother couldn't, she was tired, she had a serious illness a few years ago and was hospitalized for more than a month.
After being discharged from the hospital, he has not been able to make a good effort, and his body is relatively weak.
In order to reduce the burden on his family, Xiao Chu applied for a student loan when he was in college, and he has been working part-time, doing various part-time jobs.
Rural families are like this, and they don't feel much suffering, but they understand things early.
In the past, I was afraid that it would cost too much money to study piano, and it was also because of this.
Xiao Chu didn't want his mother to have too many negative emotions, so he smiled heartily: "Mom, don't think too much, you are in good health, and you have at least forty years of good life." ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring you a daughter-in-law back at the end of the year. ”
"The beautiful one!"
As soon as she heard him say this, Wang Cuixiang was really in a much better mood, and said angrily: "You know that you are poor, since you say it so well, why don't you bring people back earlier?"
"I didn't even say my name, you said that we were engaged at the end of the year, and your father and I didn't even know what the woman's family name was, what would we do when we met?"
Xiao Chu smiled and said, "Mom, let's talk about this later, just leave a surprise for you and my dad." ”
"You give your phone to Xixi, and I'll talk to her for a while. ”
"Okay, you wait a minute. "Mom handed the phone to Xixi.
Xiao Chu on the other side of the phone smiled, fortunately, when he mentioned the engagement, he didn't say Lin Yu's name, otherwise it would not be good now.
It is impossible for him and Lin Yu to be disappointed, so in order not to disappoint his mother, he can only think of a way in the future.
It's not easy to fool a shrewd mother, and it's also a headache.
At this moment, a familiar timid voice came from the phone again.
"Brother. ”
