"Xu Lu, I heard that a director named Zhao Fu is going to challenge your status as a comedy master. What do you think?"
Dilraba has been quite bored lately, so she's been coming to the film set quite often.
During the intermission that day, she brought up this topic.
"What do you think?" Xu Lu didn't answer, but instead asked a question in return.
Dilraba thought for a moment and said:
"Although I don't want to praise you, I have to admit that your level of comedy is unmatched by ordinary people."
I also watched that movie called Zhao Fu when I had some free time. It was alright, but it's nowhere near as good as yours!
Xu Lu laughed and said:
"You've already said it's far from good, so why are you asking me what I think? Of course, I don't even need to look at it!"
"Tch! I knew you couldn't take a compliment."
"Oh, right, I'm so bored. How about I give you a cameo role? Even a minor one will do!"
Reba punched Xu Lu and suddenly made a suggestion.
Xu Lu had no reason to refuse such a request.
After all, the movie 'Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang' really needs a lot of beautiful female characters.
Since Dilraba is willing to come and work as free labor, Xu Lu naturally thinks, "Why not use her?"
He thought for a moment, quickly found a suitable role for the other person, and immediately said with a smile:
"The role has arrived, be my wife!"
"Wh...what? You wish!"
Dilraba blushed immediately, and her little fists looked like they were about to rain down on Xu Lu.
Startled, Xu Lu quickly said:
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking? I meant you have to be my wife in this movie, a character, not actually my wife!"
"You didn't explain yourself clearly just now, humph, you were just trying to take advantage of me!"
Reba came to her senses and immediately became 'furious and embarrassed'.
Xu Lu could only try to appease him:
"Okay, okay, I was the one who wanted to take advantage, I had bad intentions, I'm guilty, I was supposed to be his wife in the drama."
In the scenes that haven't been filmed yet, my main character has eight wives, and you're one of them.
"You big pervert!"
Although she couldn't pinpoint the "being a wife" aspect, Dilraba quickly found another angle, saying:
"Eight wives? Xu Lu, tell me the truth, don't you also want to marry eight wives?"
Xu Lu said irritably:
"What nonsense are you talking about? You can't say things like that, or you'll ruin my reputation."
Besides, this is a movie. It's logical for Tang Bohu, set in ancient times, to have more than one wife.
Um? Are you even interested in taking the job? If not, I'll find someone else...
Upon hearing the ultimatum, Dilraba could only reluctantly agree.
However, when she went to choose her costume, her smile was already so sweet that she seemed to be eating candy all the time.
...
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Ru Hua, I thought she was a pretty girl."
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a male bandit disguised as a woman, who even started fighting and tearing at the protagonist.
"Yeah, we staff members here were laughing so hard we almost choked. The audience is definitely going to laugh themselves to death."
"How is Director Xu's brain structured? It's so damn funny, he can make a joke come out so easily."
"I feel like this segment is going to go viral online, hahaha, and suddenly the word 'Ru Hua' is unbearable to look at."
...
"Left Green Dragon, Right White Tiger... I thought this was something powerful, but I didn't expect it to be killed off as soon as it appeared!"
"And these two mentally challenged brothers, hahaha, is it really necessary to be this funny? It's absolutely hilarious."
"Sister Pomegranate is the funniest. This outfit is just awful."
"And the head of the guards in Washington, D.C., the painting he's holding looks really cute, I heard it's by Director Xu..."
...
Since it's a comedy, the atmosphere on set is always very cheerful.
Because each actor basically only knows their own role and lines.
But even they themselves didn't know what the specific presentation would look like before the performance.
As a result, there were many instances where the actors themselves burst out laughing during the performance.
Of course, Xu Lu has never prohibited this.
Since comedy aims to make the audience happy, the actors must first be happy themselves.
Similarly, the staff on set were often amused by the actors' performances, laughing so hard they were doubled over.
Fortunately, the dubbing was done in post-production, so the constant laughter didn't have much of an impact on the live performance.
In order to facilitate the publicity and distribution efforts, some trivial anecdotes also gradually circulated.
Netizens were instantly excited after seeing this:
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, this is Director Xu's 'Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang' movie! I can't wait to see the full movie!"
"That's right! Even the behind-the-scenes footage is this funny, I can't imagine how good the actual movie will be!"
"As expected of Director Xu, although he hasn't directed a comedy in a long time, he is undoubtedly the king of this genre!"
"I always said Director Xu is the king of comedy; no one understands comedy better than him!"
...
“Before, I still had a little hope for Zhao Fu, but now, even that hope is gone.”
"Hahaha, you'd be better off believing I'm Qin Shi Huang if you believed Zhao Fu could surpass Director Xu!"
"That's a bit hurtful. Although Zhao Fu is much worse than Director Xu, he's still alright."
