independent filmmaker

After the content of the young actors was filmed, the movie entered the second half.

In fact, Lan Sheng doesn't really like the two stages in which different people play a certain role. This must be somewhat split, but "Going to Yueyang" talks about "growing up". Being 16 years old, it must be a little awkward for the same actor to run through, and Xie Lansheng prefers that the 36-year-old actor is "like an ordinary person" rather than a young and beautiful one.Therefore, after repeatedly weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the two plans, Lan Sheng still decided to use two similar actors to perform the two stages, and then make up for it with makeup.

Because the actors are adults, this time the shooting went smoothly.Everyone said, "Director Xie has several pairs of eyes and can watch everything. Probably, he shoots a lot, repeats a lot, and he can handle everything with ease."

However, this is not true.On the contrary, Xie Lansheng's shooting habits have been changing over the years.For example, in "Rooting", like most directors, he shot "simple" scenes on the first day, so that everyone would feel that the film started smoothly, which is a good sign, but after winning the Golden Bear for the second time, Xie Lansheng knew that his main creator And the leading actor has confidence in himself, the temptation of "starting smoothly" is not as great as before, so now, he will choose to shoot some important content on the first day.He believes that if an actor starts with the boring part, he will drift away from the character and will not be able to grasp the characteristics of the character.In addition, he also found that the morale of the actors and crew is always the highest when the film is started, and he should not waste this time on the minutiae.

As for the end game, Xie Lansheng also made changes.Now, he is used to doing the last scene in the middle of shooting.The end of a movie is very, very important, it can make movie audiences unable to escape and have endless aftertaste.When the shooting was about halfway through, the morale of the crew was still high, the main creative work was still working hard, and the actors and others had a relatively accurate grasp of the roles.During the year after year of filming, Xie Lansheng found that he couldn't let a crew fight chicken blood from the beginning to the end. Everyone must become lazy and lazy in the last few days, and the enthusiasm evaporated, which is not suitable for filming the finale.

Plus, he still cares about his team.

The director is always in a hurry, but he feels that people are the most important.

Once we went out on location, but the wind was very strong, and the head of the lamp tied to a high place was shaken by the strong wind, making it impossible to shoot. The lighting director naturally dropped sandbags under the head of the lamp. But Xie Lansheng suddenly said: "Forget it, let's call it a day. It's too dangerous to keep adding weight, and it will hurt people if it falls." At that time, the lighting engineers were all surprised.

The director is used to accidents, and so are the other creators.Sometimes the "crash" is uncontrollable, sometimes the "blasting" is delayed, sometimes the coercion is not operated well, and sometimes... sometimes, the camera's lift is overturned, and the head of the light is off. If an accident happens suddenly, the crew usually loses money. But Xie Lansheng has been very concerned about everyone in the past 25 years.

When Qi Dashe saw it, he sighed and said, "Director Xie, I know why you can still make good movies. Because you care more about people than the movie itself. In your movie, the most important thing is The power of life, not the beauty of art. When a director pays more attention to art than life, his film will lose something touching. You are 46 years old, this kind of concern for others is actually very important It’s rare, it consumes me too much.”

For a whole month and a half, the crew went all the way to Yueyang.

In the movie, during this journey, the "growth" experience of the six people is slowly revealed.

The female No. [-] who likes to sing has applied for the Central Music Examination for five consecutive years, but she has lost all her names and finally accepted her ordinaryness.The paintings of the number one male who likes to draw are always torn up, because his parents think that he "can't make money" and "can't eat well". However, after he gave up for many years, a teacher was shocked, and he already had His pen is very, very strange.The female number two who likes high jumps later encountered an accident in her family and couldn't continue. She dropped out of school to work and paid off her debts in ten years.The male number two who likes to dance was thwarted by his relatives. They thought he was not masculine and strongly opposed him to learn dancing. He even kissed a girl in the same class to show that he was "not a mother". He was expelled from school. Continue to school.The female No. [-] who likes... fell in love, gave birth to a child, and no longer has any time to develop herself.The male number three who likes...

At the end of the movie, in Yueyang, the six of them regained their youthful dreams.

Dongting Lake is so gentle, they went back to when they were 16 years old.

By the Dongting Lake in the setting sun, one of them sang "Dongting Fish and Rice Fragrance", one danced, one drew, and one...

"Holding the distant mountains, swallowing the Yangtze River, the vastness of the soup, the horizon is endless; the morning sun and the evening are cloudy, and the weather is myriad."

"The waves are calm, the sky is bright and blue, and the sand gulls are flying together, the golden scales are swimming, and the shore is full of Tinglan, lush and green. Or the long smoke is clear, the bright moon is thousands of miles away, the floating light leaps into gold, the quiet shadow sinks into the jade, and the fisherman's songs answer each other , what a joy it is.”

On the day of the finale, Xie Lansheng had a finale banquet with the main creator and leading actors.

Now, the transportation and so on have been developed long ago, the parting taste of the finale banquet is not as strong as in the past, and it is generally relaxed and joyful.

Xie Lansheng was quite happy.One is because the filming was successfully completed, and the other is because I will go home immediately.

However, unexpectedly, he encountered an episode on the last night in Yueyang.

Someone came to beg to be unspoken.

He had never seen this actress before, and she was not in his team. Xie Lansheng didn't quite know where she found out her room number. The protagonists and supporting actors in "Go to Yueyang" are all fine, they are smart, down-to-earth, hardworking, and walk forward step by step.

This time, the one who came to ask for the "hidden rules" was wrapped in a tight-fitting knitted sweater with a wide open neckline, her top was tall, and her thin waist in the middle was full of grip.Lan Sheng had already had relevant experience, holding the door tightly with his hands, and only smiled at the other party's words such as "I like your movie so much" and said: "Thank you", "Okay", "I have something else to do", and hinted at him The selection of actors will only refer to acting skills and so on.Over the years, in the hotel, in order to prevent being misunderstood, Xie Lansheng never changed into pajamas until he went to bed.

Now, everyone will not talk about the "hidden rules" blatantly, but only say that they like him and want to sleep with him. As a director, Xie Lansheng can't even do "hard work".

He felt quite sad.Men in this industry are strong. He once read a survey that in Hollywood, the average interval between two films by female directors is 8 years. He didn't think it was because female directors didn't like movies.Among the newcomers around him, there are very few female directors who can successfully get investment.The industry has long been controlled by men, and "hidden rules" have been rampant.

Lan Sheng rejected the other party's "good intentions", and then he raised his head casually, his heart twitched instantly - Xin Ye is actually coming!I am watching from a distance! !

"That," the actress left slowly, Xie Lansheng dragged Xin Ye into his room and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xin Ye lowered his eyes: "I want to see the environment you live here, and know how you live here. I can also have an intuitive impression when I think of this movie in the future."

"Oh……"

Xin Ye is already 44 years old, but at this time he is eccentric: "I didn't expect to see this happen."

When Lan Sheng saw that something was wrong, he immediately decided to take the initiative, raised his chin, and asked, "Well...do you want to be ruled by unspoken rules? I let you play "Growing Roots" and "Consummation" to add a lot of color to my acting career. Pen."

He thinks Xinye is cute. When I was 30, I was mature and stable, but now, in front of me, my personal emotions such as happiness and anger are becoming more and more visible.

Hearing Lan Sheng's words, Xinye raised his eyebrows: "Okay."

"Then," Xie Lansheng said, "be more proactive and better at technology."

Xin Ye smiled, put one arm around Lan Sheng's waist, and the other hand pinched Lan Sheng's chin, pressed his lips together, and sipped carefully.Then, Xinye pushed his tongue in, pressed heavily and licked, a little frantically, Xie Lansheng's breathing became heavier unconsciously.

After a while, Xin Ye continued to "take the initiative", sliding the fingers of both hands up the waist, and then the thumbs were very flexible..., and... and....

Xie Lansheng thought, this is really...

The two of them kissed, bumped, and rubbed each other, and about two to three minutes later, Xinye pressed Xie Lansheng and made him squat halfway in front of her.

Xie Lansheng didn't twitch too much, he squatted and knelt, sticking out the tip of his tongue.

Xin Ye gradually became tempted.

Lan Sheng didn't expect that at this critical moment, the actress just left and came back, not reconciled!

She knocked on the door in the corridor, pressed against the crack of the door, wanted to speak loudly but dared not speak loudly, and said softly: "Director Xie...Director Xie? I, I really like your movies, and I also like your talent..." She always felt that she should try again.

Xie Lansheng's whole body froze, he hurriedly looked at the door lock, and found that Xin Ye had even hung the door chain after he came in just now.

"……"not worried.

He was very bold all of a sudden, instead of standing still and waiting, he stuck out the tip of his tongue again, more forcefully and faster, with bright red lips and drooping eyelashes, doing this through the door amidst the sound of confession kind of thing.

Really, Xie Lansheng thought, there are all kinds of beauties who have been looking for... all these years, but he is willing to do this kind of thing to another man, and he is willing to give up.

Xin Ye lowered her eyes, leaning against the door, tightly clutching her lover's black hair with her fingers.

After 1 minute, the corridor outside the door returned to silence.

Xie Lansheng continued on.

Finally, the most familiar tension and jump came, and these things made him excited.

Lan Sheng covered his lips and coughed a few times due to choking.

Xinye raised his chin, looked down, and asked, "Director Xie, is it enough? Can I play your part?"

But Xie Lansheng became bolder, licked his palms and fingertips, and said, "Not enough, but more."

Xinye was almost killed, pulled Xie Lansheng up, hugged him, strode forward, and threw him on the bed.

"...Hey! I'm going to take a shower." Xie Lansheng struggled with a smile, "It's dirty after a day."

"……Um."

But Xie Lansheng didn't expect that he had just taken more than half of the bath and hadn't wiped it yet. Xinye would twist the door and come in and carried him out. Then, because they were all wet, the two of them messed up the bed sheets of the hotel .

After finally reaching the peak, Xin Ye held Xie Lansheng in his arms and asked again: "Can I play this time?"

"Well," Xie Lansheng said lazily, "I did pretty well just now. Which one do you want to be in? Just pick."

Xinye kissed his ear, pressed it behind his ear, and said: "I want to be in your most important play...the play of life. You directed it from birth to the moment of death. You carefully prepared and planned , deal with the unexpected, do your best. Most of the time it is what you want it to be, and a small part of the time it is not. It may be perfect, but it is more likely not to be perfect. It may go down in history, be remembered, and be loved. Respectable, maybe not. It doesn’t matter. No matter what it looks like, I also want to use my whole life and all my enthusiasm to be its other protagonist.”
