45. I Am a Great Director (5)

Seeing Wu Yilun still looking like "Oh my God, the world is changing too fast", Duan Qing'en reminded him: "You just said you don't want the pay."

"That's not me now, that's the young and ignorant me before." As soon as Wu Yilun heard this, he immediately jumped up from the salted fish lying position and sat upright. He patted Duan Qing'en with difficulty across the seat. shoulder: "Brother, please forgive that simple child."

Duan Qingen said thoughtfully: "Since we are children, I will forgive you this time and don't do it again next time."

Wu Yilun couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, and laughed heartily. Duan Qingen also laughed with him, and the laughter seemed to dissipate all his worries about his friend's future.

After finishing laughing, Wu Yilun asked: "Does Yan Qu know about this?"

"have no idea."

Duan Qingen shook his head, "I had a conflict with my family before and was unwilling to interact with them, so I didn't tell her about it. If I hadn't been unable to survive this time, I wouldn't have contacted my family."

Wu Yilun shook his head, unable to tell whether he was gloating or sighing: "You should know about her and Ba Yiran, right?"

"I know, they even called me specifically yesterday to ask me not to hold a press conference."

"Holy shit." Wu Yilun couldn't help but uttered a curse word: "They really have the nerve to call you."

But when he thought that his brother was now a rich second generation, the husband whom Yan Qu had beaten down and thrown away, he felt happy again.

"I felt something was wrong when you said that Ba Yiran copied you before. Although you have a good relationship, you always like to create in isolation alone. Even if Ba Yiran had the intention, he couldn't steal the manuscript. The matter between Yan Qu and him As soon as it came out, I understood that this pair of bastards were trying to get ahead by stepping on you even though they were cheating on you.”

Wu Yilun followed this matter from beginning to end, and of course he knew exactly what happened during this period. When Duan Qingen said that Ba Yiran plagiarized him before, but could not find any evidence, he felt that this matter was not simple. Later, when Duan Qingen contacted him and said that Yan Qu wanted to divorce him, Wu Yilun was murmuring in his heart.

It's just that there is no evidence, and it is not good to speculate on others behind their backs. In addition, he knows how deep Duan Qingen's feelings for Yan Qu are. Although he muttered in his heart, he did not express it directly and planned to observe further.

As a result, as everyone watched, Duan Qingen was exposed as cheating on her, and Yan Qu quickly stepped on her husband, which was not like she had feelings for him.

Although she and Ba Yiran were secretive, they were both in the same circle, and their social scope and accommodation were similar. Their ambiguity quickly reached Wu Yilun's ears.

At this time, he was almost certain of his thoughts.

"Your manuscript was plagiarized before, and it was probably Yan Qu's fault. Before this script came out, Ba Yi was somewhat famous, but it was not as famous as it is now. The TV series based on that script was not a hit, and he was a The star suddenly became popular all over the Internet.”

The more Wu Yilun talked, the more he felt that this was the case, and he immediately clapped his hands:

"I heard that Ba Yiran also plans to write a script and be the co-writer. Let's film it well. We must overpower them and let out a bad breath!!"

Duan Qingen parked the car:

"Okay, let's take a breath."

***

The news that Ba Yiran will serve as a screenwriter and co-producer to film the script he wrote this time is not a secret. At least people in the industry know that he directly appointed the unknown Yan Qu as the director, and signed a popular Xiaohua as the director. The female lead even made a big call and brought a bunch of little flowers and pinks to her crew.

Speaking of which, Ba Yiran seems a bit magical to others. As an artist, he has many side jobs, such as being a screenwriter and a director. At the same time, he has a good vision and can take over every filming. A drama that became a big hit after it aired.

At first, people said he was lucky, but when this happened more often, Ba Yiran's fans began to automatically and spontaneously post "It's my brother who brought the traffic", "My brother made a drama that became popular", "If it weren't for my family Brother, can this TV series be so popular?" and so on.

If there are too many such remarks, passers-by will think it is the truth, so Ba Yiran's popularity will rise to the next level.

As a colleague, of course it was good for others to know that he was the one taking the filming. Although he felt sad, at most he could only mutter something about why Ba Yiran had such good eyesight.

As for him, what people in the industry talk about the most is not his good luck in landing roles, nor his talent persona, but his prosperous peach blossoms.

During the filming, I was able to create a "friendship" with my stand-in, which helped this little sister transform from a stand-in to a full-fledged actress.

If you can write scripts and win the favor of Loli screenwriters, you will be like a big brother every time.

When making a movie, I can go everywhere with a beautiful director.

In short, it is a walking peach blossom making machine.

Although he had provided scripts and funds before, he only gave money to the scripts and didn't care about anything else. He just waited for the TV series and movies he filmed to become popular and make money.

This time is different.

Ba Yiran, who wanted to step on Duan Qingen, but almost got knocked over by him instead, felt sulky in his heart. In addition, Yan Qu, his little lover, cried to him, so he decided to end it himself. He will be the scriptwriter and Yan Qu will be the director.

Because he decided to make a popular movie at this time to make Yan Qu popular, Ba Yiran very carefully searched his mind this time to find a popular movie in his previous life.

In his previous life, he had no aspirations and didn't want to take on roles that were tiring and difficult to get exposure for, not to mention the lack of money. So every day when he stayed in a rental house, he would watch various popular movies and TV series, and then fantasize about starring in it himself.

After watching it too much, he can memorize the scenes and lines silently.

It's just a pity that because of the age limit, he only watched dramas starring middle-aged men. There were very few young starring actors, and he couldn't act in most of the scripts he memorized.

It's not that Ba Yiran has never tried to change the plot, but these plot ideas are not his own. If he changes them rashly, he will only change them beyond recognition. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, he has money and can invest it himself, and these scripts can still be exchanged for him. Huge benefits.

It was about his own woman, so Ba Yiran stayed up all night that night and wrote the script that had become a hit across the country in his previous life.

Not to mention how Yan Qu looked at him with admiration, and how Ba Yiran confidently invested most of his wealth in this drama that was destined to become a big hit. Duan Qingen here also started to arrange auditions .

He now has sufficient funds and can afford the salary, but in the eyes of others, he is trying to make a fool of himself.

Especially Xin Youyou, since the last time she agreed to play the heroine due to Duan Qingen's misfortune, she has determined that her idol must be living a life of tightening her belt and eating steamed buns with pickles. She is worried that Duan Qingen will really Because he couldn't afford the salary, he couldn't find suitable actors, so he took his three roommates and asked them to audition.

Of course, because the heroine was unofficially selected, the male director also unofficially selected a beautiful freshman female student to be the protagonist. It would be too easy to get people thinking about this. When eating that day, Duan Qingen discussed with Xin Youyou to let her be normal. Audition.

Xin Youyou also knew that Director Duan was doing this for the sake of his own reputation, so no one told him what had been decided, and he only invited three roommates to audition.

She knew that Director Duan had no money and would probably choose some low-paid actors. Her three roommates were all good at acting. If they could audition, it would be a good thing for both Director Duan and them.

It's just that all three of them showed little interest in Xin Youyou being so active in dragging them to audition.

"Hey Youyou, we're only freshmen, we're not particularly good-looking, and we don't have much experience. If we can audition for any good roles, we'll either be passers-by or cannon fodder. Didn't the teacher say that? Before we graduate and join a company, it’s best not to take on roles like this. We have to rely on our faces to make a living. Who knows what kind of makeup the crew uses for cannon fodder? Do you want us to roll around in the mud and be exposed to the sun? , what should I do if my face is bad?”

Although it's a bit unpleasant to say this, in the entertainment industry, it is true that male stars can still stand out by enduring hardships and playing supporting roles as cannon fodder, but female stars cannot.

Because of the hard life, male stars don't take good care of themselves, but they can still be said to be mature and charming. If female stars have some wrinkles on their faces and their facial features are not as beautiful as when they were young, they will be scolded for playing a slightly younger role. Eye.

As they get older, even if they still look beautiful, they have to play aging roles such as mothers and aunts. Those who insist on playing young girls should just pray that the wrinkles on their faces don't show up, otherwise they will be criticized. Do your best.

Therefore, for some female artists who are thinking about their future, unless they plan to act like a martial arts star or a clown, they all value their faces.

Even if they take roles, they only dare to take roles that are not harmful to the face and skin. Otherwise, even if they have honed their acting skills through this drama, when their faces are not good-looking, as a female artist, even if their acting skills are really bad If you can go to heaven, no one will come looking for you to film.

But, they are just young students, so how can they possibly take on a role that looks good, looks good, and is not tiring or painful?

Xin Youyou pulled them to the door. When he heard this, he had to stop and explain: "We are just giving it a try. We are not auditioning for those extras. We are going to try for supporting roles. Even if we are the eighth female lead, if we can audition, we will be accepted." I can show my face.”

"How could such a big production cast allow unknowns like us to play supporting roles?"

The roommates still didn't believe it, but their relationship had always been good. Seeing Xin Youyou's insistence, and thinking that her idol was Director Duan, and it was said that this time the crew was invested by Director Duan himself, they felt soft.

"Okay, I know you admire Director Duan, so we will accompany you to try it out. Anyway, there are not many people today, so we probably won't be filming for a long time. When the audition is over, we will go shopping and buy something!!"

Seeing that they agreed, a happy smile appeared on Xin Youyou's fair face, "Hey, okay!!"

The four girls entered laughing and joking. Above, Duan Qingen looked down from the terrace. Seeing them smiling so happily, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

His script is about the heroine Jiang Mei. Jiang Mei, whose surname is Jiang and whose given name is Mei, is a very good name, but her life is not smooth sailing.

Her mother passed away early, and she grew up with her father until she was seven years old. She never lived the life of a normal girl since she was a child. For example, if someone put their hair in a ponytail, she would be messy. In the end, her father found it troublesome and simply cut her hair short. Children of her age were dressed neatly every day, but her father was too busy and had no time to wash her clothes, so there were patches on her clothes that made her smell stinky every day.

Later, when she was seven years old, Jiang Mei's father suddenly disappeared. Everyone said that he had found another woman outside and no longer wanted his daughter. Jiang Mei was sent to an orphanage. Because her father abandoned her, she was full of hatred for him. She refused to be adopted by any well-intentioned person. During the earthquake, she happened to be outside with her teachers and watched with her own eyes the parents of ordinary children desperately looking for their children. Whenever there was danger, she used her body to protect them. She had to live with her children, but she could only survive alone, and her heart was full of hatred and disappointment for her father.

After that, she grew up slowly, went to college with financial support, and joined the workforce. However, because of her childhood experience, she was no longer willing to trust others. Once, her company took her on a trip to the UK, and a male colleague with whom she had a good relationship pursued her but was rejected. After she refused coldly, she smiled bitterly and said that if he had a chance, he really wanted to go back to her past and bring her some sunshine.

Jiang Mei scoffed. After she fell asleep and woke up, she found that she had actually gone back to the past. As an adult, she returned to her childhood. She used another identity to approach her father and found that her father was not. It's not what she thought...

In fact, it is a very common theme, but Duan Qingen added a lot of laughter and touching points to it. In addition, the anniversary of Father's Day is coming soon. As long as he releases it at that time, the box office reputation will be indispensable.

Duan Qingen blew the wind on the terrace for a while before going down. When he opened the door, there was an audition going on inside. What a coincidence, it was Xin Youyou.

She was acting according to the script she was given.

This scene is about the heroine Jiang Mei who has just returned to the past as an adult. Because it was summer in England when she came back, she was wearing a skirt. Unfortunately, the past she went to was winter.

So, a group of aunties and aunties wearing heavy cotton-padded jackets, shivering from the cold and warming themselves around the boiler, looked at Jiang Mei in bewilderment, who opened the door from outside and came in wearing a summer dress.

Before Jiang Mei could figure out the situation, she asked where this place was in English.

As a result, a group of people thought Jiang Mei was an international friend.

Yin Qin pulled her to sit down and warm herself by the fire. Not only was she asked why she was dressed like this in the winter, Jiang Mei noticed the unusual surroundings and did not tell the truth.

"People in our country are hairy and not afraid of the cold."

Later, while she was warming herself by the fire and listening to the aunts discussing how to take her to see the director and help this "lost" international friend go home, her father pushed the door open and came in. He was only wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket. His face was still covered with snowflakes and ice, and his back was heavy and bent. He huffed, stamped his feet, and with a flattering smile on his face, he said that today's coal had been delivered, where could he pay?

An aunt took him to see the director, and her words seemed to blame him for being late. The father bent down and apologized in a low voice: "I'm really sorry. The snow is a bit heavy today and there is a strong wind. I was not careful on the road. I stepped into an ice hole. Fortunately, I reacted quickly. The coal is fine. I will pay attention next time."

So humble, so careful, it was a completely different image from the father in my memory.

Jiang Mei was stunned.

This is the part that Xin Youyou wants to audition for.

She was performing in front of the air, so she spoke her own lines, which seemed a bit embarrassing, but it really reflected her acting skills.

She sat stiffly on the prop chair, then her hands shook nervously, as if she heard someone asking her something, she coughed dryly, and put on a fake smile in embarrassment: "People in our country are hairy, so don't be afraid." cold."

After saying this, he tried his best to force out a bigger fake smile.

While she was smiling, she seemed to hear the sound of the door being opened. She subconsciously turned her head to look. The moment she turned around, her expression suddenly froze.

She stared at that place almost blankly, her expression confused and full of disbelief. Gradually, tears filled her eyes, but she tried not to fall. Then, her eyes showed the brokenness of what she had been insisting on. Feeling sad, the hands on her knees were clenched into fists, as if she could no longer maintain a calm appearance if she didn't do this.

Then, it seemed that her father was about to leave. Her body trembled violently, her eyes were red, and she was determined not to shed tears, but the corners of her lips moved almost invisible, as if she wanted to open her mouth to stay. Finally, her father closed the door. Tears welled up in her eyes, and finally she couldn't help but shed them, and she lowered her head dejectedly.

The aunt next to her asked her: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

"fine."

She blinked to hide her tears and tried to put a smile on her face: "It's too hot."

Duan Qingen sat down after watching her scene. Wu Yilun, as the director's friend and the only popular star who joined the cast, came to join in the audition and became a judge. As soon as Duan Qingen sat down, he immediately put his head on He came over and spoke in a low voice.

"Hey, why did you find such a new person? I thought you two had some py deal before, but now I know that this girl is really good!"

Duan Qingen silently turned to look at him, "It's good to know that they have real materials. When filming, you have to show your full strength. If you are outclassed by a young girl who has just debuted, tsk."

Wu Yilun: "...Really, I can't make any jokes at all. Don't worry, I will definitely go all out and try to perform for a long time."

He plays the male colleague who confesses to her. He is a Erha-like character who escapes the sunshine and is full of energy. In the plot, he will also follow Jiang Mei back to the past.

The audition ended quickly. As soon as Xin Youyou came out of the bathroom, she bumped into Ma Zhao.

"Miss Xin."

Ma Zhao was overjoyed when he saw her face. He was a grown man, and he was too stressed in front of the toilet door.

Seeing Xin Youyou's confused face, he quickly pulled the person aside to talk, and quickly explained in a low voice: "I am Assistant Director Duan. He sent me to ask what the names of the three friends you brought here are."

Xin Youyou was stunned: "Why does Director Duan ask this?"

"Director Duan said that Miss Xin, you are too young. If you choose the heroine as soon as you debut, there will be some scumbags on the Internet who will start rumors. But if you and your friends are chosen together, it will be a pure coincidence."

Ma Zhao added: "Don't worry, we have selected a group of people. If your friend's name is not among them, we will not show favoritism, just to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future."

Only she knows how complicated Xin Youyou's mood is.

She really didn't expect that such an easy-going person as Director Duan could be so thoughtful.

Her current state of mind can only be described with four words: flattered.

When he told Ma Zhao his name and walked out of the corridor, Xin Youyou was still in a daze.

Director Duan is also very good.

Is he so nice to every fan?

***

After the four girls auditioned, they went out to have fun all afternoon. When the news that the audition was successful was sent on the fourth day and they were asked to report to the crew on the third day, there was a scream of surprise in the dormitory.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...I-I-I-I-passed-I-passed-"

"Me too!!! Ahhhhhhh!!"

"And me and me!! Oh my god, Youyou, you actually passed the lead as the heroine!! Ahhhh, if I had known I would have chosen a more important role to audition for!!"

After happiness, there is uneasiness.

They were still students and had no previous group experience. Now, on the eve of departure, Xin Youyou, a fan of Director Duan, became the information desk for the entire dormitory.

After all, everyone knows that during filming, the chief director of the entire crew is definitely the person with the most power.

They are new here, and they are right not to please, not to offend, and to step into the director's minefield.

Xin Youyou is very happy to share her feelings about idols.

Under the sun, the beautiful girl held her chin in her hands, her eyes were bright, and she spoke yearningly: "Director Duan is very elegant, easy-going, gentle, and talented. Whether he is being interviewed or looking at people, he is particularly gentle. I think he should be able to He is easy to talk to, but he is also very principled. In short, he is a very gentle and beautiful man. "

"Gentle...that's good."

The roommates breathed a sigh of relief.

One of the roommates was still sober: "Youyou, you are not a fan filter, are you? I heard that none of the directors have a good temper."

"Of course not. I look at things objectively."

Xin Youyou immediately denied: "Director Duan is a very strict and generous person at first glance. Look at this time, his wife left him when he was in the most dangerous period, and he didn't even say a bad word about his wife to the media."

Her decisiveness gave the three of them confidence.

The next day, the four people arrived at the set with their suitcases and full of expectations.

——Then I saw Duan Qingen’s fire-breathing dragon.

"You don't even check this Wia and you tell me it's ready for use??? What should I do if something goes wrong?? How did I tell you before that you need to check it at least seven times!! A group of several people will check a place together. Are you responsible if something goes wrong!”

After saying that, Duan Qingen calmed down when he saw that the staff finally went to check.

Xin Youyou: "..."

Three roommates: "..."

Xin Youyou is a qualified fan.

Even if the idol's character design breaks down, she can accept it and automatically change it to a reasonable one.

After being confused for a few seconds, she could calmly analyze to her roommate: "This movie was invested by Director Duan, and he is the chief director. If anything happens, he will be responsible, and Wia really should check it. He Doing this means taking your work seriously.”

"At least in his private life, he is very generous and does not hold grudges."

While they were talking, Ma Zhao walked up to Duan Qingen and whispered in his ear, with a look of gloating on his face: "Director Duan, Ba Yiran had a falling out with the leading actor just two days after the filming started. It seems like he was I watched an artist’s performance clip and discovered that Ba Yiran wanted him to copy another artist’s performance moves. He wasn’t happy with it, so he got into trouble, and now there’s a mess there.”

As he spoke, he clicked his tongue: "Otherwise, Ba Yiran is unlucky. That artist's acting skills are good, but there has been no traffic. Even though he has been acting in various TV series, he has not become popular. I don't know which fan loves him so much. He actually dug out the eighty characters he had played before, and cut out his accustomed looks, movements, and expressions one by one. The cuts were so detailed that when the leading actor took a look, he realized that what Ba Yiran had been asking him to practice was something else. He will definitely not be happy with the actions that actors are used to. If this happens, he, the imitator, will not be scolded to death."

"Yeah, I know."

Seeing Duan Qingen's expected expression, Ma Zhao was stunned for a moment: "You know? Didn't this just happen? I have a classmate over there who is doing something, and they started gossiping with me as soon as it happened."

Duan Qingen patted the dust on his hands calmly.

"I cut the video."

"Of course I know."

The author has something to say: I put it in the manuscript storage box, but when I checked it before going to bed, there were no chapters. I looked again and found that the date of the manuscript storage box had changed to 2020. I quickly revised it again and used the app to modify it. I was stuck for a few minutes. I didn't refresh it, so I modified it on my mobile phone and computer, and it stuck for a few minutes. Then I finally finished the repair, and found that I had no more words to say, so I had to climb on the computer again to make the changes. JJ, what are you doing? I was so angry after repairing it.

Draw some little angels in the comment area and give out red envelopes. Good night to everyone.

Copywriting:

When he woke up, Ye Qiuqiu traveled through time

With a jade pendant space, she came to the 1970s when she didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and became the daughter of the leader of the Hongqi production team.

There is a rumor in the production team, that old Ye family! The ancestral grave was well buried, and all three generations were male, and they never gave birth to a daughter.

But the captain's family gave birth to a daughter, breaking the old Ye family's curse of only having sons.

Everyone says that the daughter of Lao Ye’s family is very lucky.

Ye Qiuqiu, who had traveled through time, nodded solemnly, no!

In the impoverished 1970s, I ate brown sugar water every day and ate eggs every meal, which made me fat and healthy.

Plus

My grandparents love me, my parents love me, and I have five little brothers who will love me to death.

until one day

The production team arrived in a magnificent car, and a strange man got out of the car. The man stood in front of Ye Qiuqiu, "I am your father!"

Ye Qiuqiu, "..."

The man pushed the young man in front of him towards Lao Ye's house, "I carried the wrong child back then. Our Lao Xie family is a daughter, and Lao Ye's family is our son!"

The old Ye family panicked

impossible

They are obviously delicate and soft little girls.

Definitely not with a handle

They will never admit it

The disliked young boy shouted aggrievedly, "Dad!"

The captain of the Hongqi Production Brigade, his eyelids twitched, "Get out... the laborer gave birth to a daughter."

Ye Qiuqiu looked at this and that, then shouted with a smile, "Dad!"

"Oh, what a good girl!" the two fathers said in unison.
