independent filmmaker

They continued to shoot "Consummation" in the next few days.

Cai Kuan and Lang Ying's relationship warms up, and Cai Kuan is about to graduate from university.

Lan Sheng fell ill for a while, so he continued to shoot as usual.He had a fever and blushed, but he didn't feel tired. He got the needle every morning, and then returned to the set with the needle in his hand to continue filming other people's scenes.He ran all over the field, with a bottle in one hand, and one hand across his chest, talking about this, cursing that, and ignoring himself for the movie.Yu Qianzi asked him to finish the call and said that he could do it himself, but Xie Lansheng just shook his head—this is his film work, and he has to watch every scene in person.

Moreover, the job of a director looks simple, but it is difficult to do.When he was filming "Shankan", his assistant director always looked down on him, thinking that he could shoot better.Later, Xie Lansheng was about to leave the studio for a whole morning, so he gave the director a shot of an easy scene, but when he returned at noon, he found that the other party hadn’t done anything yet, and stood there discussing and discussing with the photographer. I didn't dare to make a decision at all, and I was dazed by the eyes of dozens of people in the whole group, and I didn't know how to coordinate and direct.Xie Lansheng took over, clicked a few times, and finished filming that segment in 15 minutes.Others laughed at the assistant director and said, "Usually it's a set, if Director Xie isn't here, you'd be stupid!" "We only have dozens of people, and some crews have thousands of people!" Xie Lansheng said: "The director is really amazing! You need to understand words, art, society, people's hearts, and the ability to manage so many people... Everyone is a temporary team, and it's not easy for everyone to obey!" It was from that time that Xie Lansheng discovered that other people's filming progress was very slow and strenuous, and since then he has never left the set.

Fortunately, after two days of injections, his temperature went down.

During this period, Xie Lansheng discovered that Xin Ye was also inquiring about contacts.He has not been back to China for four years and is relatively new to the industry.And Xie Lansheng has been wandering outside the studio's system all year round, and he couldn't learn from him, so Xinye asked a few assistant directors about some things in the studio—the latter were all newcomers.

Xie Lansheng thought, Xinye should really want to start his own film company.Four years ago, he was not interested in movies, but after filming "Rooting", he said that he fell in love with this place, and he fell in love with the stories here-their own stories are different from Hollywood routines, although they are not Ripe, yet radiant.

…………

The first shot of the heroine Liu Yao started shooting on October 10th.

The content of this paragraph is relatively simple - Li Fangfang saw her classmate Caikuan in Xidan shopping mall. At that time, Caikuan Langying was carefully choosing rings at the counter.I just ordered a ring and liked it very much. I wanted to take it out and look at it. I said to the teller, "Well, my friend came with me to buy an engagement ring for my girlfriend. Her number is..." It was actually his number.

The teller looked indifferent.

Li Fangfang saw that Caikuan was there, and went up with a smile: "Hi! Buying a ring?"

"Ah..." Caikuan quickly pulled off the ring, hemming and hawing, very embarrassed.He wanted to say that he was here to accompany Lang Ying, but he was worried that the teller would miss the point, so he couldn't make up his mind.

Only then did Li Fangfang notice Lang Ying who was on the opposite side.As a classmate, Li Fangfang naturally knew that Caikuan did not have a girlfriend, and there were some rumors in the class that Caikuan was gay.Her eyes couldn't help sweeping back and forth at them, and her face turned pale.

The content of this scene is simple, and Liu Yao's performance is also very good.

After this scene was "cut", Xinye went back to the hotel for the time being, because he was not included in the two "campus" scenes that followed, but Xie Lansheng and Liu Yao's rivalry scene - in school, it is only lenient. Knowing that she couldn't hide it, she told Li Fangfang the truth, and Li Fangfang didn't discriminate against him, but instead let him pursue happiness.Xin Ye went back to prepare for tomorrow.

The crew of "Consummation" worked very hard every day, and everyone was quite hungry at noon. Xie Lansheng invited Liu Yao and the others to have a Northeast barbecue not far away.Qi Yong and the focal point said that it was inconvenient to carry equipment, so only Xie Lansheng, Yu Qianzi, and Liu Yao were left to eat barbecue.

"Okay!" Yu Qianzi held the menu in his hand, "The three of us, first come with 90 skewers of mutton, 60 skewers of glutinous rice, 30 skewers of vegetable rolls, 30 skewers of fresh mushrooms, 15 skewers of sausages, 6 skewers of toasted bread, and 6 skewers of grilled bread." Eggplant, 6 servings of dried tofu, is that enough?"

Xie Lansheng: "..."

Liu Yao: "..."

Yu Qianzi asked Xie Lansheng, "Is there something missing?"

"A bit less..." Xie Lansheng said, "Is it too much?" He had always known that Yu Qianzi's appetite was amazing, but he was shocked again.Yu Qianzi liked to eat very much, and every time he seemed to choke to death, he didn't look up.

"Is it too much?" Yu Qianzi said, "Can't you two eat 30 skewers of mutton and 20 skewers of ribs?"

Xie Lansheng said, "I can't eat it."

Liu Yao smiled: "I can't eat either."

"..." Yu Qianzi once again felt that he was very lonely in the world.

Because Liu Yao was a girl, she ate slowly, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.Xie Lansheng settled the bill, put on his woolen overcoat, stood up with Liu Yao and Yu Qianzi, and walked outside.

That's when the accident happened.

Just when Liu Yao was about to leave the Northeast Barbecue gate, two men just came in, and when they saw Liu Yao, their eyes lit up.

Liu Yao is an actress, with exquisite, transparent eyes and white teeth, she is naturally a rare beauty.Although she is not very outstanding among actors, as an actor, she is definitely not seen by ordinary men in their daily lives.

Her temperament is very gentle, and it is not surprising to be stared at.

Liu Yao's body is curvy and graceful, with a high chest. The man walking in front happened to meet her face to face, and his face immediately became full of surprise. To hit Liu Yao's chest.

Liu Yao was startled, took a step back, and was forced to go back to the Northeast for barbecue, but was not really bumped into by the other party, his eyes were full of panic.It was the first time for Xie Lansheng to see Liu Yao showing such an expression. In the past, she always smiled.

The man chuckled and took another step forward, wanting to hit again.His eyes were as big as copper bells, but his lips protruded abnormally, his cheeks were thin and his cheekbones protruded, like a strange bird, which made people remember deeply at first glance.

Xie Lansheng rushed back to the store, grabbed Liu Yao's wrist, pulled it, and hid himself behind him, asking: "What are you doing?!"

"Yo!" The man opposite laughed loudly, "What is she yours?"

"No," Xie Lansheng said, "it's a friend."

"Hahahaha! That's good, that's good!" The gangsters laughed viciously, "It's okay! Come on, let this beauty kiss us, and we will let you go!"

Xie Lansheng's face was ugly.

He couldn't tell whether the other party was a gangster or an ordinary gangster.

In the past two years, because the government revitalized state-owned enterprises, countless workers had to be laid off.These workers are idle, have nothing to do day in and day out, are uneducated, and have simple thinking. Coupled with the deep influence brought by some Hong Kong movies, the "underworld" that has disappeared has been involved in the resurgence, and even sprung up like mushrooms, wandering around, and Punks are also everywhere.

The man on the opposite side burst into laughter, and said to Xie Lansheng: "It's not difficult, you don't need to go to bed! She kisses a few times and it's enough!" They often do this kind of thing. To be honest, rape is not enough.

Xie Lansheng could still laugh and said, "Farewell. My friend can't bear it. Can you see if you can forget it?"

"Hahahaha! Let's see her suffer!"

While talking, the leading man didn't want to talk nonsense anymore. He touched it with his right hand and found a three-edged knife!He pointed at Xie Lansheng with it, hooked the willow with the other hand, and had a vicious smile on his face: "Come on, let the big beauty she kiss you, and leave immediately when it's over! Otherwise, haha!"

Usually when it comes to this point, the boyfriend will confess on the spot, push the woman, coax the woman, let her bear the grievance by herself, so that the two can escape.

But Xie Lansheng was obviously not.

The muscles all over his body were tense, and he stared at the triangular knife.

This is too poisonous.

The knife is not terrible, but the triangular knife is very terrible.It is said to be a knife, but it is actually a stab. Because it has three blades, it can goug out a large wound. As long as it is stabbed, there will be an extra hole on the spot. The blood flow is fast, the wound does not heal, and the fatality rate is higher than that of a dagger.

But he won't send Liu Yao there.

Liu Yao is his actress.He would not let Liu Yao do such a humiliating thing, not to mention that Liu Yao had just experienced the emotional trauma of being abandoned by Li Xian, and also said something, "I don't dare to try anything again...Once it fails, it will be too painful... ...However, if you continue to be alone, it will be too painful..." If she is here...she will definitely feel more inferior, weaker, and afraid to try anything.

Xie Lansheng was not quite sure whether the other party was bluffing, so he took off his coat, thought for a while, and said to Qianzi, "Yu Qianzi, give me the script."

"...Huh?" Yu Qianzi didn't know why, but he still stared at those people who were most likely to be gangsters, and gave Xie Lansheng the script.

"Thank you." After Xie Lansheng finished speaking, he stuffed a thick stack of crew into his waistband to cover his stomach, and tightened the belt with another button.His sweater wasn't too loose, but the script was affixed tightly.This way the abdomen will not be stabbed, just pay attention to the heart. Xie Lansheng felt that he could still be beaten.

He has never said a hard word in his life, but he has never done a soft thing either.

Xie Lansheng thought, it would be nice if Xinye was here.

He has practiced sambo and so on, so he should be able to help a lot.

But... hey.

Since he had no weapon in hand, he picked up a wooden chair.The wooden chair is of poor quality at first glance. The horizontal bar is embedded between the two legs, which is already wobbly and about to fall apart.Xie Lansheng pulled out a piece of wood from the leg of the chair, and then went to pull the other side. Without too much twitching, he slammed the chair against the concrete floor with a "bang" and pulled it out again. Yu Qianzi kicked the broken stool.

Then the scene was a little chaotic.

The other party didn't intend to kill anyone either, it was more of a scare element than gestures, but it was Xie Lansheng who beat the other party's arm aside with a stick.

They finally became angry from embarrassment, they drew their knives horizontally, their expressions were sullen, but they still didn't stab.

The Northeast BBQ was noisy, the remaining customers all ran away, many of them hadn't paid yet, and the boss was hiding behind the counter.

Fortunately, not long after, a few policemen rushed into the house, saw them, and said to the gangster in the head: "It's you again! Okay, let's go!"

Xie Lansheng: "..."

Day, it's a game.

"Director" is really the job with the most accidents in the world.Actresses are harassed by others, crews are asked for protection money by the underworld... these are commonplace.

Xie Lansheng was quite worried.

The gangsters didn't hit him, but he beat someone else.

He is very worried about administrative detention, which can last up to 15 days.Xie Lansheng knew that the two opponents were not touching him, but his stick was touching each other, and the beating was not light. Considering this situation, it is very likely that he will be detained.Moreover, the police always give [-] slaps to each other for this kind of thing. The other party has a controlled knife in his hand and should be locked up, so he probably won't be able to escape.

Can……

Usually it doesn't matter if he is imprisoned, but now he can't waste a day at this moment.The Berlin Film Festival will officially kick off at the end of February, and it is almost in mid-December that the competition copy needs to be submitted, and now it is October 12.Because he has money in his pocket, he will send it directly to Australia every time he finishes filming, and he can finish filming on December 10. In this way, ABCLAB can complete the rough cut before December 28, and the Berlin Film Festival It is allowed to use the rough cut copyright to participate, as long as it can be replaced with the official version at that time, the time can be said to be just right.Four years ago, he was worried about funds every day, and now he is worried about time every day-in August, after the sales of VCDs in China skyrocketed, he decided to go abroad to participate in the competition. Since then, every minute and every second has been like a battle.

"Consummation" is suitable for Berlin. The Cannes Film Festival in May and the Venice Film Festival in September are not very popular, and the possibility of being shortlisted is very slim.

But the current situation...

If he is really detained administratively, he will...

I can't finish it.

There are also shows that are not as wide as they are, but he decided a few years ago not to pretend to others.

The author has something to say: Lan Sheng Liu Yao has no emotional involvement, don't worry... I can't handle this kind of relationship...
