Chapter 63 Visiting
the Set Ouyang Ouyang heard this and quickly explained: "Boss, there is an assistant director watching the set."
Xu Youyou said: "The assistant director is so capable, can he just replace you? Remove the word 'assistant' from his head."
Ouyang Ouyang suddenly felt a sense of crisis, but the assistant director was also his good brother, and he told the truth: "Xiao Huang is not mature enough now. After about two or three more dramas, I think he can try to make a film independently."
Xu Youyou said: "Since you know that he is not capable of taking charge, you should not neglect your duties."
A look of grievance flashed across Ouyang Ouyang's face. He drove for almost two hours to come and pick someone up, but only got a basin of cold water.
Xu Youyou knew that he wanted to flatter her, but she didn't like this kind of atmosphere, so she said, "You are a director, I hope you can focus on filming. Artists should pursue their own goals and let their works speak for themselves. Don't try to flatter the leaders. As long as you make a good movie, I will support you in return."
Ouyang Ouyang's spirits lifted, and the aggrieved look on his face disappeared instantly. He felt in his heart that it was a coincidence. In order to prevent his boss from being angry with him because of Song Zhibai's tanning, he ran to the airport to pick him up and get close to him, but this made his boss dissatisfied with him instead.
Xu Youyou was also thinking about Ouyang's bad habits, and she understood why he did this. After all, he came from a grassroots background, and he finally got the opportunity, so he naturally wanted to grab it desperately, so he praised Song Zhibai before and now he was frantically flattering himself.
In his previous life, Ouyang Ouyang rose to prominence a year later. The short videos he shot at that time became popular on major social platforms. This was a result of his accumulation of time and his own abilities.
In this life, Xu Youyou's early intervention is a bit like forcing things to grow, but with systematic certification, Xu Youyou is not worried about Ouyang Ouyang's mentality, and said directly: "I believe in you, but you don't believe in yourself. You have to be bolder. Can an artist with a restricted mind still achieve anything?"
Ouyang Ouyang's nose was sore. Although he got the opportunity to film a TV series, he was not at ease in his heart. After all, he was still running a small restaurant more than a month ago. Not everyone can remain calm when faced with an opportunity to rise to fame overnight.
"Boss, I will definitely put the set first next time, don't worry." Ouyang Ouyang's voice was a little choked.
When the car drove into the set, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on everyone. Looking at the Gobi Desert and the people who were still working hard on the filming at dusk, Xu Youyou's mood seemed to become brighter.
The scenes of Song Zhibai are being filmed now. The young swordsman is dressed in white and his sword moves smoothly, which instantly transports you into the world of martial arts where revenge is the most important thing.
"Okay, cut!" Assistant Director Xiao Huang shouted.
After Song Zhibai finished filming, he saw Xu Youyou standing with the director from afar, walking towards him with a sword in hand.
Ouyang Ouyang carefully looked at Xu Youyou's expression, but Xu Youyou just glanced at him and said, "Go and take a look at the clip shot by Deputy Director Huang. If it doesn't work, reshoot it as soon as possible."
Ouyang Ouyang breathed a sigh of relief, immediately ran to the instrument, and carefully checked the afternoon's shooting content.
Song Zhibai was very happy to see Xu Youyou coming.
But soon he noticed Xu Youyou's strange look.
"Why are you so dark?" Xu Youyou could hardly recognize that this dark-skinned guy was the top star she had worked so hard to find.
Song Zhibai was much more cheerful than before, and was willing to smile at people. He said, "The sun here is very strong, and there's nothing you can do about getting tanned."
Although the face was still pretty, Xu Youyou always felt uncomfortable.
"Have you finished filming the previous scenes? The ones that require you to have white skin?" Xu Youyou was very concerned about the final presentation of the drama.
Song Zhibai nodded.
Xu Youyou finally breathed a sigh of relief. She still had some whitening pills in her hand, and planned to help Song Zhibai get his white skin back after he finished the filming.
"Are you having any difficulties in life? How is your mother recovering now?"
Xu Youyou positioned herself as a leader who came to visit the crew to express her condolences.
Song Zhibai was stunned for a moment before answering with a stuttering voice, "Boss, my mother can cook for herself now, so there's no need to bother hiring a nurse."
After returning to China, Xu Youyou hired someone to take care of Song's mother. Song Zhibai was very grateful for her thoughtful consideration.
Xu Youyou said, "After all, your mother has been ill before, and her health is not as good as that of an ordinary person. If someone takes care of her, she will be able to find out in time if something happens. You don't have to worry about money. When you become famous, debts or hiring a nurse will be nothing."
After Xu Youyou had given a pep talk to the most important director and the main character in the crew, she felt that her mission was halfway accomplished. She waved her hand and told the producer beside her: "Please make arrangements. I will treat the entire crew to dinner tomorrow night at the best local hotel."
After most of the crew's matters were settled, Xu Youyou got into a luxury car that had been rented locally without saying hello to anyone on the set.
The person driving was still Xu Fang. Xu Youyou was used to her driving, so she was not used to other people's cars.
"Turn left."
"Go ahead."
"Turn left again."
…
Following Xu Youyou's directions, Xu Fang drove for more than an hour without asking any questions. The car entered a small alley and stopped in front of a dilapidated bungalow.
The bungalow was locked and the door was covered with a layer of iron sheet, which was now rusted in many places. There was a circle of grass growing in front of the door. It was obvious that no one had lived in the house for a long time.
The system's instructions fell on this house. Xu Youyou thought that renting a house was not safe. If she could buy this house, she could ensure that the treasure inside belonged to her completely.
Before Xu Youyou could worry about how to contact the landlord, she saw a middle-aged man dressed like a local circling around the car that Xu Youyou rented.
"A BMW! Little girl, how much did you pay for such a nice car?" Wang Shengli asked in a familiar manner.
Xu Youyou said casually: "Rented."
"Rented? It costs a lot of money to rent for a day, but you young people are willing to spend money like that!" Wang Shengli said with emotion.
Xu Youyou gave a look to the bodyguard beside her, and he immediately came up to Wang Shengli and handed him a cigarette.
"Brother, do you live in this alley?" asked the bodyguard.
Wang Shengli nodded: "My grandfather's generation lived in this alley. I see you don't speak with a local accent. Are you tourists?"
Xu Youyou said: "Brother, you have a good eye. I like this city very much, and I especially like the old alleys. I want to buy this bungalow, but I don't know who to buy it from?"
Wang Shengli's eyes lit up and he said, "Then you have asked the right person. I know this person. I will take you there directly."
