B-level director

Chapter 13

Master Lu wanted to play tricks, but he didn't have the chance.Brother Qi soon came out of the locker room and chatted with them about the script in a serious manner.

Brother Qi is wearing short sleeves today, and the fleece cap can no longer be worn. The short hair that is exposed is a little curly, but it is neat and tidy.He has always dressed casually, with white sneakers under his loose sports pants, and the laces lie on the white uppers like octopuses.

Cheng Tianlu reminded, "Your shoelaces are not tied properly."

When Brother Qi was about to squat down, the plastic surgery sister came over and said, "Let me do it."

In full view of everyone, she half-kneeled in front of Brother Qi, bent over to tie his shoelaces, and made a delicate line from her shoulders to her buttocks.

Cheng Tianlu couldn't bear to see him, so Xiao Dongli let out an oh, and said bluntly: "It's great to be a director, like an emperor."

Brother Qi didn't care, probably enjoying this kind of service often.

Cheng Tianlu is extremely disdainful, Brother Qi is a healthy adult, wouldn't it be embarrassing for someone to tie his shoelaces in public?Looking at the other people on the set, there is no reaction, and they are probably used to it.He thought again, what's the relationship between this woman and Brother Qi?Although Brother Qi didn't do anything to Tong Yi, it doesn't mean that he has a good character - he has bad eyesight, but he's not blind, he only watches movies when he's watching movies, why ask a girl to teach him plays in the dressing room.Isn't he still clinging to authority, and his heart is not right?

"Your assistant is really dedicated," Cheng Tianlu sarcastically said.

Brother Qi hugged the woman's shoulders: "She's not my assistant, she's my number one here."

The woman stretched out her hand, the corners of her mouth curled up: "Xu Mengsi, the editor-in-chief teacher, Brother Qi often says that you are knowledgeable, please give me your advice."

Cheng Tianlu had a good memory, and immediately remembered that the name "Xu Mengsi" was included in the credits of Brother Qi's movies.He has browsed several stills of the movie, but her appearance is different in each movie, so he can't connect the leading actor with the person in front of him.

He shook her hand.Her face has evolved to the point where her age is not visible, but the skin on the back of her hands and neck is no longer smooth, and she looks quite old.

When she was about to shake hands with Xiao Dongli, Xiao Dongli shook his head and smiled: "Sister, you haven't washed your hands after touching the director's shoes, don't you think it's dirty?"

Cheng Tianlu frowned slightly, thinking that Xiao Dongli was going too far, and if he looked down on this woman, he couldn't let people down.Unexpectedly, Xu Mengsi took a step in a very bachelor way, and raised her hand to touch Xiao Dongli's face, "It's not dirty, it's quite tender."

Xiao Dongli blushed, he was not angry, and he was not too swearing, so he could only take a step back in embarrassment.

All day long, he wanted to laugh, but felt that this kid deserved it.Smoothing things over: "Hey, sister Mengsi, don't tease my people."

She smiled, gave Xiao Donglifei a fierce wink, then turned her head and acted like a spoiled child to Brother Qi: "I don't like that dress, can I change it to something else?"

The costumer was holding a blue dress behind her, and said in an anxious tone, "The art teacher and the props teacher have specified this one, and the scene has been adjusted. Now it will be a while, where can I find a spare?"

Xu Mengsi rolled her eyes at the clothes in disgust: "I don't wear blue, doesn't Old Wang know?"

Brother Qi was born in painting, so he is very sensitive to vision and color tone. The art design is meticulous and rigorous. Once the actors change their clothes, it will destroy the balance of the whole picture.Not long after the costumes arrived, I thought the director would uphold justice.

Unexpectedly, Brother Qi only thought about it for two seconds, and then dismissed the clothes: "Change it, just change it, if there is no suitable one, it's okay not to wear it."

Cheng Tianlu almost fell off the sofa - not wearing it? !

Xu Mengsi took off her leather jacket chicly, revealing her close-fitting black and white checked underwear, and said indifferently, "Then don't wear it."

Costumes are speechless.In this way, it really doesn't matter what color the only clothes on her body are, people's eyes will be focused on her magnificent figure, even if the set is made of paper, no one will notice.

Cheng Tianlu sneered.There is indeed a reason why Brother Qi's movie reviews are so bad. His arrogance towards Lin Xiaosheng yesterday was all smashed into pieces in front of Big Chest!

He was even less interested in the bad movie that was about to be made.

Everyone sat down.In addition to Brother Qi and Ling Lingjiu, a thin girl came to the crew, her eyes were bright, but she was shy when she spoke, and she just looked down at the reflection on the table without saying a word.She is a screenwriter, holding a small tablet in her hand, writing petite characters in elegant handwriting, she looks like a well-behaved middle school student from a distance.

Cheng Tianlu couldn't help feeling pity for her.The screenwriter definitely doesn't have the right to speak here, writing about Brother Qi's torture and killing scenes every day, blood and organs flying together, it must be a difficult life.

Thinking of this, he wanted to put down the stall even more, and said, "How to write the script, I have nothing to help here. Everything that can be written is written in the manuscript. If you can't write it, you definitely can't shoot it."

Ling Lingjiu: "Hey, that's true. What you wrote may not be able to be photographed, and the actual case is under trial."

Cheng Tianlu followed this sentence: "That's right. Last time you said that you want to shoot that village that doesn't exist, I quite agree. You two think this is a good idea. You can shoot whatever you want, and don't get involved in real cases. It’s over. Flying into the sky, escaping from the ground, flying in the sky, whatever you want.”

Brother Qi didn't answer this question, but asked him: "You checked it out, is it true that no one remembers that village?"

He used the word "remember", as if he was sure that the village must exist.Cheng Tianlu said coldly, "Are you questioning my ability to work, or my professional ethics?"

"That's weird," Qi Ge'er completely ignored his expression, "More than 200 people forgot at the same time, how did it happen?"

Ling Lingjiu sighed: "Human memory is the most unreliable, and it's too damn easy to tamper with. Especially collective memory, you just feel that it's wrong, and it's obviously different from the impression in your head, but everyone So, do you trust yourself, or do you trust teachers, books, TV news, the government?"

Cheng Tianlu couldn't refute Ling Lingjiu's words.He has been in this industry for many years, so he naturally knows that many things must be "unified", and this statement will gradually become a fact and become the truth.How can an individual compete with "truth"?

Then Ling Lingjiu said: "It's not sure anyway, it's okay if we make it up."

Brother Qi nodded: "This matter has a good foundation, big stick, what do you think?"

The screenwriter of a high school student whose name did not match the name immediately replied: "Well, there is a big suspense, the structure is enough, and there are many characters involved, so it is easy to write!"

So, they completely disregarded the "original author" and began to plan a terrifying massacre.The big stick professionally drew nine plates on the small tablet. The movie is about 100 minutes long, except for the opening scene of catching people, at least there must be a dramatic climax every 10 minutes.

The logic of the story can be filled in later, whether it is linked to the original case or not is not considered; what kind of murder scene they think has not been tried before, how the relationship between the characters can stimulate the collision, and where the scaring effect is more appropriate.

Cheng Tianlu finally knew how the fancy death method in Geer Qi's movie came about.The big stick is not shy anymore, his eyes are emitting a serious and fanatical light...

Cheng Tianlu let out a long sigh, and used an excuse to run outside to smoke.

He doesn't usually smoke.Borrowed cigarettes from Xiao Dongli, leaned against the corridor wall, and let his mind go blank.

What is he doing on planet 276?Mingming and Brother Qi are two types of people, and their aesthetics and values ​​are completely different. Even if the two team up to rob a bank, they will probably end up killing each other.What binds them both here?

Just thinking about Brother Qi, Brother Qi walked over. "Take one?" Cheng Tianlu handed him a cigarette.

Brother Qi refused.

Seeing his tired face all day long, it is estimated that the past two days have been hard. "If you can't, go home and have a rest. Eye problems will get worse if you don't take care of them. With your shape, and a stick, you can play the erhu by the subway."

Brother Qi was overjoyed, "Are you meddling in other things?"

"Yo, I care about you. It's a pity that you are blind, among other things, Xiaohua draws very well." He said and pretended to be the zombie in the painting.

Brother Qi laughed out loud. The editor-in-chief teacher is very aura when he is serious, but his hobby is self-destructive, and he is always offline.He was exhausted these days, and his body was at the end of his strength. After chatting with Cheng Tianlu, he lifted up his spirits a bit.

He leaned against the wall side by side with Cheng Tianlu, getting straight to the point: "You don't want to make this film?"

Cheng Tianlu had a painful expression on his face: "Big director, do you still need to ask? I'm a layman, I don't understand anything, and I was abused by you when I came here. To be honest, your works don't suit my taste. , I really can’t give any advice, this consultant is for nothing.”

"It's not that you can't give an opinion, it's that you don't like it at all."

Cheng Tianlu didn't deny it: "Those things of yours are too fake."

Brother Qi was very surprised. He had heard many things scolding him, from various angles, and the most scolded ones were too much bloody violence, too realistic details, no depth, too little heroine's clothes, teaching bad children... To be honest, Chengtian Road is still No.1.

He was unconvinced: "Where is it not true?"

Cheng Tianlu Youyou exhaled smoke rings, "You haven't seen a real dead person, have you?"

Brother Qi shook his head.

"I'll know it when I've seen you." Lu Tianlu paused: "When a person dies, he dies. Why is it so hard? It's too easy to kill a person. You go to the moat early in the morning and take a walk for a year and a half." If you load it down, you will definitely get four or five. Death is such a cheap thing, you did it carefully, but it was rash. No matter how I look at it, it is fake."

Brother Qi was silent for a while, and then said: "What you said is true, what I did is different. You watch the film and masturbate, do you still care if that woman really orgasms? It's all fake and fake, as long as it really stimulates you. .”

"Hey, your pursuit is AV? To be honest, the team you have cultivated is quite professional, and your own ability is not bad, so you don't want to shoot something meaningful?"

Qi Geer found it funny: "What is meaningful? Can it change society or protect endangered animals? If the film does this, what will the NPC deputies do?"

Cheng Tianlu felt that he couldn't argue with Brother Qi, since the two had different ideas.The movies he likes are the ones made by Tang Weiqin. They don’t necessarily talk about the current reality, but they always have a sense of reality that hits the nail on the head. They can resonate and think. Brother Qi’s can be tough for a while at most, and forget each other after venting. In the rivers and lakes.

He took the alien detector out of his pocket. "Repay you."

Brother Qi refused to answer: "Take it."

"What are you holding it for? It's heavy."

"It's convenient for me to find you."

Cheng Tianlu smiled: "Don't bother with me, you can write the script however you want, I have no objection to the monster besieging the city."

"That can't be done." Qi Geer replied briefly.

He took off his sunglasses and rubbed his eyelids.

It was the first time for Tianlu to see Brother Qi's face in such a bright place.The handsome facial features have all the edges and corners that should be there, and the outline is clean and soft. It is a face that you will feel comfortable at first glance, and then feel good-looking.But a pair of heterochromatic pupils broke the balance.The two eyes under the light gave people a slightly unrealistic feeling, like drizzle on a sunny day, faintly falling on the skin.Cheng Tianlu forced his gaze away from Brother Qi, and asked, "Why not?"

Brother Qi didn't answer, waved his hands, turned his head and left.Cheng Tianlu sighed from behind: "My buddy, I'm barely happy."

Brother Qi stopped in his tracks, and smiled with a sideways face: "It's not for nothing, we have a script consultant's budget here, whether the film can be released or not, can we pay it on a monthly basis?"

This is a hit!

Cheng Tianlu really likes in-depth and meaningful movies, which can hit the key points of reality and human nature - but for him, his current key point is only one.Cheng Tianlu is a strong person, what job can't he bear?So he gritted his teeth and put the detector back into his trouser pocket.

The author says:

Have you heard of the Mandela Effect?When Mandela passed away, some people said with certainty: "He just passed away? Didn't he pass away in such and such a year?" Pretty sure my memory is correct.The discrepancy between personal memory and generally accepted facts is known as the Mandela effect.Some people say it's a parallel universe (Tan Shou)

Are accepted facts the truth? After 50 years, when people talk about 2020, is it all kinds of cognitive confusion?
