Chapter 237 Telling a Drama to Shang Yuxin
The filming of "Sweet Honey" has been going on for about a month.
The exterior shots are almost finished.
During this period, the main filming was done indoors, or simply in a studio.
Most of the resources were naturally used by Fengyuan Pictures.
Xu Kong was really lucky that he had agreed to Cao Bentao's request from Fengyuan Pictures.
If it weren't for Fengyuan Pictures, this filming in Hong Kong City would not have gone so smoothly.
……
"Click!"
"This one passed."
"Let's stop here first for today."
Xu Kong, who was behind the monitor, read an article and then spoke.
Before filming started, what actually worried Xu Kong the most was his own role interpretation.
He was afraid that the male lead, Li Xiaojun, who was undoubtedly a scumbag in terms of behavior, would be too greasy.
Fortunately, Xu Kong also replayed the original film in his mind many times before shooting, and the final result was surprisingly good.
As for others, such as Brother Bao played by the best actor Guan Hua, and the heroine Shang Yuxin, Xu Kong doesn't need to worry about their acting skills.
He could almost get over some of the less-than-ideal plots by telling them a little or twice.
"Director Xu, can you tell me about tomorrow's play later?"
After the crew finished work, Shang Yuxin took the initiative to come over.
In fact, this is not the first time.
Originally, Xu Kong thought that with Shang Yuxin's character, asking him to help tell the drama was actually unnecessary.
Xu Kong was also prepared to resist the temptation.
Who knew that Shang Yuxin was really just discussing her role with him.
Xu Kong asked him seriously for advice on the scenes he would shoot later, which made Xu Kong feel a little uncomfortable.
……
"No problem, then it will be the same time as before."
Xu Kong agreed subconsciously.
After Shang Yuxin left, Xu Kong suddenly reacted.
Tomorrow's play?
Isn't that the intimate scene between the two?
How do you tell this play?
But this scene is indeed quite important.
Shang Yuxin asked him to help with the drama. It may also be due to the emotional problems of the character in this scene.
……
But when Shang Yuxin knocked on the door of Xu Kong's hotel room at night, Xu Kong seemed a little surprised when he saw him.
Because what the other person is wearing at this time is tomorrow's costume.
"It feels better this way..."
Shang Yuxin noticed Xu Kong's appraising eyes and explained.
In order to get into their roles, many actors wear costumes all the time even outside the filming set.
This is not the case.
So Xu Kong calmed down after being slightly surprised.
And although it is said to be a costume, in fact, the heroine's dress in the series, because if it is not a period costume, it is still ordinary clothes that were relatively common in the last century.
Even now it doesn't seem very inconsistent.
Instead, it’s more like the more popular retro style.
……
"This scene is very important. It is an important turning point in the relationship between the male and female protagonists..."
Xu Kong didn't waste too much time and directly talked about the passionate scene tomorrow.
Shang Yuxin listened very seriously.
Just when Xu Kong finished speaking and was about to ask the other party what he still didn't understand, Shang Yuxin suddenly kissed him like a dragonfly.
Xu Kong was a little confused when he saw him.
Shang Yuxin explained in a low voice:
"I want to try out the show in advance..."
Such a request obviously cannot depend on Xu Kong's wishes.
Naturally, most of the trial scene is the very crucial kiss scene tomorrow.
But it can be seen that Shang Yuxin obviously does not have much experience, but Xu Kong became the leading person later.
……
Xu Kong is not Liu Xiahui.
And to be more precise, telling Shang Yuxin's drama is indeed his job as a director.
They also tend to have a pure style, but Shang Yuxin and Song Youyou are completely different.
Youyou is more of a very real little girl with clear eyes and a sense of stupidity.
Just because I read too much information, there are different patterns every time, and the contrast is more obvious.
When it comes to selling green tea, that pure appearance is almost inherently charming.
Every move he makes provokes people almost inadvertently.
But it was obvious that there was almost no real experience, so the real situation was that Xu Kong could only play the role of a mentor.
However, as a tutor, when facing students with little foundation like this, they must only take it step by step.
As all the truth came to light, it appeared before our eyes.
Xu Kong subconsciously made a comparison. It was obvious that Shang Yuxin's capital was completely inferior to Song Youyou, let alone Su Zhi who had almost no rivals in this aspect.
However, Xu Kong became interested when he occasionally encountered such small and cute ones.
You can tell one thing or two from his hard work at this time.
……
Then she tried to push Xu Kong's head hard, but it had no effect at all.
She waited until she was a little exhausted and her body didn't feel like her own at all.
Xu Kong finally agreed this time.
Obviously, Shang Yuxin wanted to end the so-called early audition at this time.
However, although she took the initiative, the right to end it at this time has naturally been handed over to Xu Kong.
When things have reached this point, it is of course impossible for Xu Kong to stop moving forward.
What surprised him was that the enemy still had complete standard equipment, and both superiors and subordinates were uniformly dressed in white.
Xu Kong was just very patient and still testing.
……
At this time, Shang's military morale was clearly in chaos.
But what surprised her was that the opponent was obviously very calm.
There is almost no intention of fighting to the end.
Still trying.
On the contrary, she began to lose her composure.
……
Finally, Shang Yuxin relented.
As for Xu Kong, he had been waiting for the other party to speak.
Shang Yuxin did come with a purpose this time.
Because after meeting Xu Kong and Song Youyou this time, she understood something a little bit.
That is, filming with Xu Kong this time is probably my best opportunity.
If this movie is completed in the future, the two will probably still maintain their previous relationship, and it will be difficult to go further.
But at this time, Shang Yuxin has no time to think about this. Facing Xu Kong, the only thing he could do was to deal with it very reluctantly.
But it was obvious that it was only a matter of time before they were beaten and defeated.
It took a long time for Shang Yuxin to come back to his senses a little.
But he turned around and glanced at Xu Kong next to him, thinking that he was at the end of his strength, but found that the opponent had become stronger again in a short period of time.
"Wait a minute!"
Shang Yuxin was completely panicked at this time.
Of course, Xu Kong didn't intend to kill them all.
But compensation is certain.
……
Judging from the filming situation on the second day, Shang Yuxin's early audition played a certain role.
Of course, the studio is different from the private time after all, especially when filming, Xu Kong rarely sees any unprofessional behavior from Shang Yuxin.
There's nothing wrong with praising someone for being conscientious.
He should be the type of actor that most directors would like.
There are few things to do, and I don’t try to be a show-off or try to get a big name on the set. I almost devote myself to filming.
Of course, after each day's filming, it was obvious that Xu Kong telling each other about the next day's scenes in advance had become a regular item.
It was indeed a very simple drama talk before, but as we talked, the location changed from the study room of Xu Kong's hotel room to the bedroom.
……
The filming of "Sweet Honey" is still going on in an orderly manner here.
On the other side, Su Zhi's own concert was coming to an end.
The number of performances originally planned was not that many, and after the last two new songs of the album were completed, it was basically over.
As the organizer of the concert, they also came to persuade Yuan Yinan to hold more concerts.
Because the tickets were bought so well, the venue was almost full.
Moreover, the number of people and the scale of each concert were several times larger than originally planned.
Still don't have to worry about selling.
Even in the current music scene, there are only a certain number of singers who can achieve this kind of concert attendance.
But Su Zhi insisted on ending her final solo tour according to the original number of shows.
……
Compared with the previous ones, although the last two songs in the album, "Red Beans" and "I Fall in Love with Your Inner Activities" are not less popular.
But compared to when the concert first started, attention has inevitably declined.
However, Su Zhi has released all the songs in the entire album at this time, which still caused a lot of discussion.
It is probably rare for a domestic singer to release an album that lasts for such a long time.
Although almost everyone was sure before that the album Xu Kong produced for Su Zhi would become another hit in the entire Chinese music scene.
But now that all the songs have been released, the final conclusion can finally be made.
"Actually, the quality of the last two songs is quite high, but because everyone was so popular before, it is normal for the attention of these two songs to drop."
In the live broadcast room, Fat Bird opened his mouth to analyze.
I have to say that he was not originally a so-called CP party.
But after seeing the entire album of pop love songs that Xu Kong wrote for Su Zhi, it contained almost all types of styles.
It really feels like the two of them are a perfect match.
These songs might be sung by other singers and they would still be popular.
But it is definitely impossible to be as suitable as Su Zhi.
Xu Kong obviously tailor-made the entire album specifically for him.
……
"I understand what you mean."
Nominations for this year's three major music awards have been slightly delayed by a few days.
It is estimated that the shortlist will be released in January.
So when I saw the barrage saying that this year's three major music awards are worth looking forward to, Fat Bird answered directly:
"Judging from the quality and influence of all domestic albums this year, there is definitely nothing wrong with Su Zhi's "Su Xu" winning the three major awards for the best album."
"But I can't say that about Jinqu."
"After all, the development of local new singers in Bay Province has been quite miserable in recent years, so it is normal to give them a little support."
"But whether or not she wins the award will not actually affect the status of Su Zhi's album in the Chinese music world."
……
Originally, regarding the best album, there was still a lot of suspense until Su Zhi's album news was announced and the first song "The Wind Rises" was released.
But now, because Su Zhi's new album is a bit too exaggerated in every aspect.
On the contrary, it has already killed the game directly, leaving most fans, including Fat Bird, without much expectation.
Although Su Zhi has already become a diva at a very early age.
But after this album, it is estimated that the status will become even more unshakable.
This album alone is enough for the other party to retire.
Her peers are already lucky if they have a hit single. Su Zhi's current treatment can only be said to make her peers drool with envy.
……
Naturally, Xu Kong had already known about the perfect ending of Su Zhi's concert.
I immediately sent a congratulatory message to the other party.
"It would be nice if you were here."
Su Zhi replied without much emotion.
But compared to the past, Su Zhi has indeed undergone some changes.
I began to be able to express my feelings to Xu Kong directly.
Although he won't say "I miss you" directly like Youyou did, the meaning is actually quite the same.
……
Time passes day by day.
After Su Zhi's concert ended, she temporarily began a short vacation.
Although Xu Kong took the initiative to contact the other party at the beginning, later on, Su Zhi would also make frequent video calls to him.
Song Youyouna seems to have ended her school life. Although she will still return to school for defense next year, she is almost busy with various matters such as thesis and graduation.
He began to pester and chat with Xu Kong from time to time.
In such a slightly ordinary daily life, the filming progress of "Sweet Honey" did not fall behind at all, and the time quickly came to the end of the year.
On New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, Hong Kong City will also have holidays as usual.
Xu Kong also plans to let the crew take a few days' rest. Currently, the filming of the scenes in Hong Kong City is almost complete. It is estimated that it will be completed in mid-January, and then there will be a small number of scenes that need to be shot abroad.
What Xu Kong didn't expect at all was that as the New Year was approaching, he had promised to celebrate the New Year with Shang Yuxin.
But he received a call from Su Zhi.
"Have you come to Hong Kong City?"
Xu Kong was also surprised. He didn't expect Su Zhi to come to Hong Kong City specifically.
After all, according to the current popularity and popularity of the other party, he should be invited to every New Year's Eve party on every platform.
He himself also received a lot of offers, but because of filming, he turned them down.
Just as Xu Kong hung up the phone and was about to pick up Su Zhi at the airport, his phone rang again.
And this time, it’s Song Youyou...
"Brother Xu Kong, guess where I am now?"
Hearing the voice on the other end, Xu Kong's expression was a little complicated.
