independent filmmaker

On December 12st, six weeks after the movie started, Xie Lansheng filmed the final scene.

Caikuan's son's first birthday banquet - Li Fangfang and Caikuan's son's family gathered together to celebrate together. Everyone's eyes were full of envy, and the two parents laughed again and again.

Before the joyous laughter of the first-year banquet, the silence of Cai Kuan's family was as dead.Li Fangfang's eyes were empty, and her son fell asleep peacefully.Caikuan Langying just finished intercourse, lying on his back, each with his own thoughts.

As the director, Xie Lansheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.To make a movie is to learn from the west, and you need to go through 81 hardships. Now he is finally standing at the gate of Taxila.As long as the shooting is finished and sent today, and ABCLAB says there is no problem, his sixth film "Consummation" will be officially completed.

Finally, it didn't exceed the time.

Xie Lansheng stayed for a total of 7 days to deal with various accidents. As a result, because Liu Yao was harassed by gangsters, he was imprisoned for four full days, and other miscellaneous things used up the last three days. Up to this point, the progress is just right, not much in one day It's a lot of days, so it can be said that I'm lucky, and I haven't been delayed.

The shooting location of "One Year Banquet" is a hotel in Beijing.Xie Lansheng has already reserved a table, and the group performance will be seated at 11 o'clock.He will talk about the play at that time, and the filming will officially start at 12 o'clock, and all the filming will be finished before the hotel closes at [-] o'clock.

The extras are naturally also in charge of the assistant director Hua Guoguang.He recruited 60 people through local group leaders.

Lan Sheng directed Xiaohong and Xiaolu to arrange the whole scene."Happy Birthday" and cute little decorations are posted on the wall, and photos of today's "birthday stars" are posted one by one.The cake is also ready, on the side table.

"Okay!" Xie Lansheng saw that Xiaohong and Xiaolu were struggling to climb up and down, "That's it."

Little Red and Little Green: "Okay!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xie Lansheng went to the toilet to change clothes.It is only necessary to wear formal clothes at the son's first birthday party, but it is not convenient for Xie Lansheng to arrange a suit for the set.

Xie Lansheng only had a suit - Xin Ye took him to a store to buy it when he was in Turin four years ago, and it was also a gift from Xin Ye, for around 2000 yuan.However, the white shirt he wore later was worn out, and the one he wears now is bought later.

Xie Lansheng put on his shirt, then paused while holding his tie.

Without thinking too much, he walked up to Xinye and said to Xinye, "Come, help me." He knew very well that Xinye was from the Xinye department, and it was the most convenient time for Xinye to help at this time. .

Xinye looked down at the tie, and obviously recognized its origin, his fingers slid over the silk, as if he had returned to four years ago, to the winter in Turin.

The night blue silk tie, with diagonal stripes, still looks brand new.

Xinye adjusted the tie, started to circle it, and said, "Caikuan is just a teacher, let's tie it the simplest way." In fact, the suit is too expensive. Xie Lansheng didn't know it, and thought it was 2000.

It was the first time that Xie Lansheng knew that there were different ways to tie ties, and he was completely at the mercy of the other party. He nodded and said, "Okay."

Xinye glanced down, paused obviously, then looked at the tie again, and said casually, "This white shirt is too see-through."

"Ah?" Xie Lansheng looked down, feeling a little bit.

He doesn't care when he buys clothes, he just picks them up and buys them as he pleases. He just found out today that the white shirt is a bit see through.

Xinye felt that this Xie Lansheng was really the same as before, and wanted to kill himself on him.He took the tie I gave him and asked me to tie it on him. I didn't realize that it was ambiguous for people to put it on and take it off. Moreover, the tie needs to be tied on the chest. He made himself so transparent, it's very cute pink The two... looming through the shirt, making people want to use... Wet, take a peek, then lift up the shirt, suck, fiddle with it, let it stand, and tremble, and at the same time feel the slender waist in the hand follow the rhythm Shaking slightly.

But it's just thinking about it, and it can't be announced or shown to others.

Xinye knew that Xie Lansheng didn't feel it.Four years ago, he sucked at himself, kissed himself, deliberately licked the tip of his nose, and then wandered in front of him, asking "Is it awesome?"

This guy only loves movies, he doesn't notice others at all, and he would never see himself if he wasn't aggressive.Last week, the crew chatted about their hobbies. Qi Yong likes to drink and dance, likes high, Cen Chen likes football, Liu Yao likes to do small crafts, but Director Xie said with a smile: "I like movies." People gathered around him and asked, "Apart from movies?" Xie Lansheng thought for a while, and replied, "Nothing." Movies occupy his whole life, he has no time to do anything else, and he doesn't want to do anything else. I am very happy, and I have never been bored or tired. Over the years, I have never felt that other things are more interesting than movies. This fact made everyone in the crew sigh for a long time.

Xin Ye nimbly tied the tie again with his slender fingers, and finally, at the end of the tie, Xin Ye said, "Look at my eyes." He was 12 cm taller than Lan Sheng, so the angle was just right.

Xie Lansheng felt as if he was going to be sucked in just by looking at it.Xinye's eyes are dark and deep, one can drown in them, when there is only oneself in those eyes...it's astonishing.

Xie Lansheng averted his eyes and looked to the side. Xinye slid the knot up his neck, and then suddenly squeezed the knot and pulled Xie Lansheng towards his chest!

Xie Lansheng took a sudden step, their chests were almost touching.Xie Lansheng naturally looked up at Xinye after a fall.

Xinye straightened the back of Xie Lansheng's collar again, which seemed normal, but Xie Lansheng just felt that Xinye was upset because he avoided seeing him... This man is really...too tough.

Looking at each other for a few seconds, Xie Lansheng was quite confused.

Finally, Xinye tugged Xie Lansheng's shirt hem, looked at him, and said: "Drink more water."

"what?"

"Don't ignore yourself just because of the movie." Xinye tapped his lips with his thumb and said, "It's all peeling."

"Really?" Xie Lansheng didn't think much about it. He searched with the tip of his tongue and found it. Then, he retracted the tip of his tongue into his mouth, pushed and arched his lower lip, knocked the dead skin with his front teeth, and squeezed hard. Tear, I tore off that piece of dead skin, and swallowed it without saying a word, very skillful in one go.Blood came out from the part that was torn apart. It was dark red, like plum blossoms, round and bright, and crawled around along the lip lines. Xie Lansheng licked it off, and the blood came out again, and he licked it off again. up.

Xin Ye once again felt that Xie Lansheng wanted to grind him to death.

Xin Ye tried hard not to look at it anymore, and asked Xie Lansheng: "Have you learned how to wear a tie this time?"

Xie Lansheng was taken aback, and said, "No."

He didn't want to learn subconsciously, he felt that he could learn from Xinye whenever he wanted, and he didn't even realize that today was the final scene, and he and Xinye should part ways after filming this scene.

He didn't notice until after Xinye finished speaking.In theory, this farewell should last forever.

But he had no such premonition.

…………

After changing his clothes, Xie Lansheng looked at his watch and found that it was already a quarter past ten, and there were still about 15 minutes before the extras would be in place.

He waited silently.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the actor and assistant director Hua Guoguang who had gone to the front desk to call after the BP machine rang, ran over in a hurry and said, "Thank you, director! It's over! Something happened again!"

"Ah?" Xie Lansheng's heart trembled, he greeted him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hey, Director Xie, there was a car accident on the way to the scheduled extras, a small car accident, no one was injured, but, but, they all said that this movie is very unlucky, so they went back again!!! It is said that before leaving this morning Those group heads still have diarrhea! Some people say that God forbids them to act as extras in this movie!"

Xie Lansheng: "???"

"Hey," Hua Guoguang said with a sigh, "the extras don't sign contracts, and one day of filming counts as one day's money. They suddenly don't want to film the crew, and there's really nothing they can do. These extras are really serious, do they have a sense of responsibility? ah……"

Xie Lansheng: "..." He also knew that there was basically only a verbal agreement for extras to join the crew.The relationship between "group leaders" and extras is even looser than that between contractors and construction workers.

"This group of extras always thought our movie couldn't be released, and they have always been dissatisfied. Now the car accident on the road has made them feel taboo again. Hey...they only have a few seconds of footage and a line of lines at most, but they also want to Seeing my performance on the big screen!"

Xie Lansheng was quite calm.

In fact, Xie Lansheng has often encountered crew attrition in the past few years.People walked while filming. In the year of filming "Beautiful Sea", only half of the people who finished the filming crew were at the start of the filming. Even Xiaohong and Xiaolu left in advance due to family problems.The film needed to go deep into an uninhabited area. Xie Lansheng hired a driver, but halfway through the camera assistant thought it was too hard to run away. Xie Lansheng didn't have the funds to let the whole crew wait there and only wait for a camera assistant, so he asked the driver to take over temporarily. , the final effect is actually good.

He always felt that as long as he was still standing here, as long as the director was still standing here, all problems could be solved.Although it was the first time he saw such a thing that the group performers ran away together.

On the opposite side, Hua Guoguang was still talking around: "Director Xie, what should I do? Even if I contact the group leader now, I won't be able to shoot at noon today. The group performance should be in place tomorrow, but it's not necessarily Saturday and Sunday. There is a venue, and generally speaking, if you want to hold an event, you need to book with the hotel in advance. Besides, we don’t have time, ABCLAB is waiting for the last book.”

Seeing that Hua Guoguang blamed himself very much, Xie Lansheng said: "Don't worry, I will find a way."
