Chapter 266: Horse Addiction
There is no hidden secret between the two of them, except that they both studied in the same school.
The assistant director is Xiao Yu’s senior brother. With this relationship, he usually takes care of this little junior sister in the crew.
In addition, Director Xu has always been very strict with actors. Even many famous actors have been scolded by him. But for newcomers like Xiaoyu who are not famous, his scoldings are even worse. When he gets angry, he even scolds them. He also throws out everything at hand.
As for the position of assistant director, which sounds nice, it actually involves doing various chores. He will also help young actors with psychological problems.
Over time, Xiao Yu became more and more dependent on him, and whenever she encountered difficulties, she subconsciously turned to him, her senior brother, for help.
The assistant director also knows how important this role is to her. For a newcomer to play the leading female role in her first film under a great director like Director Xu, this is a huge opportunity.
If it were just thrown away, Xiaoyu would probably suffer from depression.
At this moment, Director Xu was still continuing to output, murmuring to himself, "It just so happened that we just started filming not long ago. It should be too late to change people now. Let's just consider the previous filming as useless."
After hearing this, Xiaoyu's face turned pale, as if he had been sentenced to death.
At the critical moment, the assistant director definitely wanted to help the school girl, and said hurriedly, "An Qi is so popular, I'm afraid the salary is not low."
Director Xu disagreed and held out three fingers, "Didn't you say she has many fans? , can we sell this amount at the box office? Just give her half of it. If it doesn’t work, we can find new investors to invest more. I will be the director and An Qi will be the protagonist. Are we afraid that no one will invest?”
The more he talked, the more feasible it became.
But what the assistant director said later poured cold water on him.
"Miss Anqi...does she still have a schedule?"
This is indeed a very serious problem. Generally, the schedules of famous celebrities are often very full, and it is common for them to be scheduled for three to five months. But for those who are as popular as Love&Five, it is not impossible to be scheduled until next year.
Of course, when faced with really important things, celebrities can put down some less important activities, but it is normal for a movie to take a year and a half to shoot, and An Qi can’t squeeze it in no matter how hard it is. I can't spare so much time.
In particular, Director Xu also asked the lead actor to stay on the set all the time. As an idol group, An Qi also needs to participate in team activities, which makes it even more impossible.
Sure enough, the assistant director later called An Qi’s assistant to discuss with her about changing the starring role on behalf of the crew, but the latter refused without hesitation.
Director Xu had a look of regret on his face, while Xiaoyu, who had narrowly escaped death, hurriedly promised that he would work harder to practice riding, every day, during the day and at night, as long as If you can't practice to death, practice to death.
So the substitution matter just ended.
Then An Qi and the second male lead also came back, and everyone took their places and started filming.
The assistant director was surprised to find that the big devil's temper had improved a lot today, and he actually didn't lose his temper at the actors anymore.
Especially for a pure novice like An Qi, Director Xu spoke softly when he was guiding her, which made Xiao Yu's eyes red again as she watched.
This time it was jealousy.
This is of course because An Qi has a strong reputation, and even Director Xu has to give her some face, but the assistant director also has to admit that she is indeed in good condition today, especially the immediate scenes.
No one expected that An Qi, who has always shown a cute and sweet image, could actually act like a female detective.
In those horse chasing scenes, An Qi also added some new actions on his own initiative.
As a result, the assistant director looked at Director Xu, who actually had a look of appreciation on his face. The assistant director almost thought he was dazzled. You must know that what Director Xu hates the most is actors doing random things on their own. During the interview, he even said that actors are the director's creative tools, and tools do not need to have their own thoughts. This has caused controversy. Come on.
That is to say, his own resume is strong enough and he has cooperated with few traffic stars, so he has not been rushed to death online.
In short, the filming in the evening went much smoother than expected. Although it still ran out of time in the end, it was mainly because Director Xu felt that An Qi acted well and couldn't help but take a few more shots of her.
It wasn’t until the sky turned completely dark that the crew was still not satisfied and asked to call it a day.
Afterwards, Director Xu also found An Qi and praised him again.
"You are very talented in horseback riding. If you hadn't been out of schedule, I would have wanted you to play the heroine in "Horse Riding"."
"Director Xu is so complimentary." An Qi took the handkerchief handed by the assistant and pretended to wipe his sweat, but in fact he was covering up his pride.
“It has always been my dream to work with Director Xu, but after all, I am not a professional, so it would be nice to have a guest appearance in Director Xu’s movie.”
"Hey, Miss Anqi, you are good at everything, but you are too modest. You even asked your assistant to tell me before that your riding skills are not good and the horse riding scene cannot be filmed. If you are not good at this, the others will just hit you to death.
“I also hired an equestrian instructor for them and trained them for two months, but the results were just like this. They were so stiff on the horse that they didn’t have the boldness and ease of people in the arena at all. They were useless. ”
The more Director Xu talked, the angrier he became, and he almost wanted to grab something to hit someone with, but An Qi was in front of him, so he held back.
The two exchanged some polite words after that and agreed to work together again next time they have the opportunity.
Before An Qi left, he couldn't help but look at the big brown horse he had ridden.
The latter happened to be looking at her, as if saying goodbye to her.
An Qi also waved to it. For the first time, she discovered that horse riding is such an interesting thing. Although the filming has been completed, An Qi has fallen in love with this sport unknowingly.
And she was not satisfied with riding on the set and wanted to ride a little longer.
Unfortunately, there were other activities in the evening. In fact, it was not just at night. She was very busy for three days in a row and had no time to ride a horse.
On the fourth day, her horse addiction returned. There happened to be a brand event in the morning and there was a horse farm nearby.
So after Anqi finished his work, he grabbed the other four people in love&five and said that he would show them his hand, which would make their jaws drop.
As a result, I don’t know if it was because I haven’t ridden for a long time, but it was not smooth when I got on the horse. It took Anqi three attempts to get on the horse with the help of the horse trainer.
But she obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. Later, she actually refused the horse trainer's step-by-step suggestion. She pinched the horse's belly directly and let the bay horse rush out.
This time, Anqi no longer had the same feeling of unity between man and horse. She was swaying on the horse and felt the oncoming wind stinging her cheeks.
In panic, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed the reins desperately, trying to stop the horse. As a result, the horse was indeed forced to stop, but it suddenly raised its front hooves.
After that, Anqi was thrown off the horse and fell heavily to the ground under the horrified eyes of the other four people from love&five.
