Good luck on the start-up
Although Shen Xiu was puzzled, this was the director's decision. In addition to doubts, Shen Xiu also had a faint admiration in his heart, because a situation like this would test the director's skills.
"Is that so..." Shen Xiu didn't know what to say except this sentence.
Shang Yu fixed his eyes on Shen Xiu and keenly grasped the key point: “So…Shen Xiu, you mean, you know the complete script?”
Shen Xiu nodded and admitted awkwardly: "...Yeah."
They are a team and should know the script together.
But the current situation is that he is the only one who knows about it, and Shen Xiu feels like he is backstabbing the crew and his friends at the same time.
On the one hand, I feel guilty towards the crew, and on the other hand, I feel guilty towards my friends.
In short, he now feels like he is not a human being on either side and feels very embarrassed. He is afraid that his friends will mistakenly think that the crew is giving him special treatment.
Shang Yu thought for a few seconds, then nodded: "Ah, I think I understand."
Song Chengwang said: "Director Xuan doesn't seem to be very confident about our memory. Fortunately, he is not confident. This is my first time acting, and I don't know how I can act. I have to spend energy to understand the entire script. It's too difficult."
Zhuang Yi said silently: "I agree."
Although he had few parts, he was approached because his first acting job was in a movie and he was paired with the character of Shen Xiu, which was a challenge and an opportunity for him.
If you watch too many things, your mind will become more confused. If you don't perform well, you will not only hold back Chen Xiu, but also be ridiculed by everyone.
Director Xuan must have chosen to bear the pressure of directing himself rather than put it on them because Shen Xiu had helped Xuan Ji.
Xiang Yueting: “?”
Since he was a child, Xiang Yueting hated being asked to play dumb because he really didn't understand. Adhering to the principle of asking when you don't understand, Xiang Yueting raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, can you speak human language?"
Xia Wenhao glanced at everyone's expressions and looked at Xiang Yueting speechlessly.
"What I mean is, even if we were given a complete script, we might not understand it in such a short time. Do you remember what Editor Lu said when he signed the contract with us? He not only wanted us to read the individual scripts carefully, but also to understand them thoroughly."
"The full script is so thick. It's our first time filming a movie. Our acting skills are a problem. We should be thankful that we can manage our part of the promotion well. Do you understand?"
Xiang Yueting: "...I understand."
Shen Xiu: “…”
So, Director Xuan and Writer Lu gave him the complete script because it was not his first time acting? !
"Alright, alright." Mu Zhenchu said, "Eat quickly."
The topic was quickly changed.
While eating, Chen Xiu observed the reactions of his friends. Seeing that no one mentioned the fact that he was the only one who knew the complete script, he probably really didn't mind, and his heart was relieved.
Normally everyone is busy with their own things and has little time to get together, but during the meal, we almost never stop chatting.
It was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that everyone returned to their rooms.
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, nine people appeared in the dressing room.
The makeup for "Storm" was very simple, and there were not many makeup artists. The nine people not only knew each other, but were also good friends. The crew did not have so many concerns and arranged them in the same dressing room.
Among the nine people, most of them were filming for the first time and were very satisfied with the crew's arrangements. It was more relaxing for everyone to chat together than to let them stay in different rooms.
Besides, not everyone had desert scenes in the Amarah Desert this time. Only Shen Xiu, Shang Yu, Song Chengwang, Mu Zhenchu and a few others did the makeup and styling, while the others who had no parts were just chatting on the side.
"Chen Xiu, come here for a moment."
As soon as Shen Xiu finished her makeup, Xuan Yushu called her out.
"Okay." Shen Xiu responded, stood up and followed Xuan Yushu.
As soon as Shen Xiu left, the remaining people in the room discussed curiously.
"What did the propaganda director call Team Xiu to do?" Xiang Yueting was still doing her makeup and couldn't turn around, so she could only stare at Shen Xiu in the mirror.
"If you want to know, why don't you just follow and see for yourself." Song Chengwang, who was also doing makeup, looked at Xiang Yueting with a smile.
Xiang Yueting snorted: "I am no longer the same person who was afraid of Team Xiu when I first entered the training camp. If Xuan Dao wasn't here, I would definitely chase him and find out what's going on."
It was the first time for him to act. Although Xuan Yushu smiled at them all and looked very gentle, the director was still a director after all. As a rookie actor, Xiang Yueting was afraid from the bottom of his heart, just like the instinctive fear he would feel when he saw the teacher on the first day of school.
When Xuan Yushu called him out, Shen Xiu felt as if he was called out by the teacher in front of the whole class.
In front of his idol, Chen Xiu followed behind him in silence, following the principle that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made.
In addition, he didn't know what Xuan Yushu wanted to talk to him about, so Shen Xiu felt more nervous than curious and didn't dare to say anything.
When they were a little further away from the hotel's dressing room, Xuan Yushu said, "We talked about it last night, right? How was the script going?"
Shen Xiu drafted a draft in his mind for a second, and answered one by one: “We have talked about it, but everyone doesn’t know the specific script, so we don’t know how to talk about it.”
After saying this, Shen Xiu couldn't help but say, "Why am I the only one who knows the complete script?"
Xuan Yushu: "......"
Does Shen Xiu think that everyone is him, and can memorize the script from beginning to end in a short time? !
He is worthy of being called the God of Rolls. He is so arrogant but doesn’t realize it, thinking everyone is like him.
Xuan Yushu: "They don't need it."
The time spent reading the script is too short, which actually tests the director's skills. When the actors do not know the complete script, the director has to rely on narrating the play and connecting all the scenes.
Other directors might be worried, but since Xuan Yushu dared to do so, he must be absolutely confident.
"Don't worry, I know what you are worried about. The situation you are worried about will not happen."
Most of the nine people were acting for the first time, and for Shen Xiu's sake, he would not let anyone be scolded.
Shen Xiu: “?”
What is he worried about? Shen Xiu's gaze fell dimly on Xuan Yushu.
Facing Shen Xiu's indifferent gaze, Xuan Yushu continued: "Then I'll be frank. In addition to you, there are eight other people. Sometimes I can't manage them all, so I need your help. Is there a problem?"
Shen Xiu nodded without any hesitation: "Of course not."
"It's settled then!"
After finishing his words, Xuan Yushu looked at Shen Xiu from beginning to end, with a satisfied look on his face: “Not bad, exactly as I imagined.”
Without waiting for Shen Xiu to speak, Xuan Yushu waved at Shen Xiu: "I'm going to go check out the scene first, Jin Can will be waiting for you downstairs, see you later."
"Yeah." Shen Xiu responded, and saw Xuan Yushu had entered the elevator.
After watching the elevator door close and Xuan Yushu's figure completely disappear from his sight, Shen Xiu turned around and went back.
As soon as Shen Xiu entered the room, he heard Xiang Yueting's voice: "Captain Xiu, what does Xuan Dao want you to do?"
"Do you have any little secrets that no one knows about? Can you tell me? If you can't, forget it. Of course, it would be best if you can tell me."
Shen Xiu had long been accustomed to Xiang Yueting's dense language. He listened to Xiang Yueting's words patiently, summarized Xuan Yushu's meaning, and answered without any concealment.
"What the propaganda means is that if there is anything I can do to help during the filming, I will help."
Xiang Yueting recalled the days when he was forced to practice by Shen Xiu in the training camp, and said faintly: "...I understand."
He shouldn't ask. Sometimes, he would rather be taught by a teacher than be taught by a god.
At least in this way, when I can’t learn, I can comfort myself that it is normal to have a gap between myself and the teacher.
If you are a genius student, you cannot deceive yourself at all and have to admit the fact that "your brain and my brain are completely different."
After a few minutes, after finishing their makeup, a group of people left the room, went downstairs, got into Jincan's car and left the hotel.
Jin Can was driving a bus, which had not only the nine members of The Galaxy on board, but also a makeup artist and several other crew members.
As the bus drove away from the hotel area, all that was seen was the endless barren desert.
Xiang Yueting couldn't help but sigh: "If Jin Can hadn't taken my phone away, I would have taken a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments. This is the first time I've seen such a boundless desert, and it's also the first time I've seen it with you guys."
After sighing, Xiang Yueting smiled foolishly and said, "If my fans knew that I can also act in movies, they would probably be shocked."
It was not the first time that Song Chengwang had seen the desert, but when he heard Xiang Yueting's words, he quite agreed with them.
The feeling he had when he watched the desert alone in the past and now when he watches it with a group is completely different: "It's really great and worth taking pictures to commemorate it."
Jiang Yanxi: "It is said that the filming will only take a week. The time is very tight. I wonder if we will have time to play together in the desert after the filming is finished."
Ning Sinian said, "Probably not. It will snow in Yicheng next week, just like what is described in the book. We have to hurry back to Yicheng."
Shang Yu withdrew his gaze from the vast desert and reminded the regretful crowd: "If you want to come, we can definitely make an appointment to come again in the future."
Zhuang Yi scratched his head: "Yeah, hahahaha, I was led away by Lao Xiang's sadness."
Hearing Shang Yu's words, Shen Xiu couldn't help but nodded: "Yeah!"
As long as you are still alive, any regret can be made up. If you can't see enough scenery this time, you can make an appointment next time.
Besides, he had never had the experience of traveling with good friends and wanted to experience it, and more importantly, he was not nervous about being with his friends.
Everyone was used to Shen Xiu's silence and never expected that Shen Xiu would speak at this time. More importantly, Shen Xiu would actually participate in their "sad and sorrowful" matter, which Shen Xiu thought was perhaps meaningless.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Shen Xiu.
After Shen Xiu hummed in agreement, he met the gazes of his friends that were all fixed on him.
Shen Xiu: “?”
"What's wrong with what I said?" In front of familiar people, Shen Xiu dared to speak more and more often.
"No, nothing." Xiang Yueting finished speaking and smiled: "I'm just very happy."
Song Chengwang, who always gets upset and starts to speak sarcastically to others when he disagrees with something, rarely nodded in agreement with Xiang Yueting's words: "Yeah, I'm very happy."
Although Shang Yu and the others didn't say anything about Xiang Yueting and Song Chengwang's words, their faces showed obvious joy.
If anyone dares to say that their brotherhood is just fake, they will wish they could throw today's two-way running in front of the rumormongers.
Since the last group special, the frequency of their meetings has decreased, and most of their communication is limited to group chats.
But when they met again today, they clearly felt that Shen Xiu's feelings for them were the same as before.
Shen Xiu glanced at the eight people and saw that they all had obvious expressions of joy on their faces. Although he didn't know why, he couldn't help but feel happy.
The bus bumped along the road for a while before arriving at the opening ceremony venue.
The car stopped and the people in the car got off one after another in the order of the front and back seats.
If there were no unexpected circumstances, Shen Xiu was still used to sitting at the back of the car and being the last one to get off. Shen Xiu stood behind everyone, his eyes fixed on the place where incense was set up not far away.
Wait...this is Amara, not China. Will burning incense here be effective?
Xiang Yueting leaned closer to Song Chengwang, covered his mouth and whispered, "Can the gods in China hear me and bless our crew to have a smooth journey?"
Song Chengwang looked at Xiang Yueting helplessly: "You are the only one who cares about such a childish and boring question."
Shen Xiu, who was standing behind the two of them: "......"
For some reason, Shen Xiu felt as if he had been shot in the knee with an arrow, and his ears felt slightly hot, but he was too embarrassed to say that he was concerned.
After Song Chengwang finished complaining about Xiang Yueting, he said, "Now that our technology is so advanced, our gods are naturally keeping up with the times. They must be very skilled in cross-border business, so there will be no problem."
Xiang Yueting: "You talk too much, I'm following you!"
When Shen Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but nodded: That makes a lot of sense and I can't refute it!
Shang Yu, who was standing next to Song Chengwang, also heard the voices of Song Chengwang and Xiang Yueting. He couldn't help but glance at both of them, then looked away, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Shang Yu found that Song Chengwang was really stubborn. He would always retort, but he would always respond to questions. Good friends, after all, just get together. Even if they were talking about boring topics, they could still talk enthusiastically.
Seeing Shang Yu's eyes and the smile on his face, Shen Xiu said: "......"
Shang Yu must be secretly laughing at Yue Ting’s childishness!
After all, it was Xiang Yueting who silently bore everything for him! Shen Xiu looked at Xiang Yueting with gratitude.
Shen Xiu's icy gaze seemed to be substantial, making it difficult for Xiang Yueting not to notice it.
The first time he was looked at by Chen Xiu, Xiang Yueting turned his head and looked at Chen Xiu: "What's wrong?"
Without waiting for Shen Xiu to answer, Xiang Yueting thought of what he had just said and couldn’t help but said, “You don’t think I’m boring and childish, do you?!”
As the hidden member of the childish duo, Shen Xiu shook his head firmly: "No!"
Shen Xiu's answer attracted several people's attention.
Every time no matter what Xiang Yueting did, Chen Xiu was always envious of Yueting. It would be a lie for them to say they were not envious.
But... Xia Wenhao and the others looked at Xiang Yueting, then they tacitly looked away and calmed down.
The person Shen Xiuzong is after is Xiang Yueting, so that's fine, after all... Xiang Yueting is indeed very likable.
No one doesn’t like the sunflower, which is simple-minded and always faces the sun.
Chen Xiu: ...Why did the friends first look at me, then at Xiang Yueting, and finally away?
Could it be that she saw through his inner thoughts and thought that he and Xiang Yueting were childish, but tacitly saved face for both of them and didn't say it directly?
The more Shen Xiu thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, and he was so embarrassed that his toes wanted to start working.
At this time, Reuven's voice sounded not far away: "Everyone come over here, it's about to start!"
Seeing Reuven waving at them, the nine people walked over.
The nine people walked to Lu Wen, and Lu Wen told them the precautions for the opening ceremony one by one: "Later you..."
After Lu Wen finished speaking, Xuan Yushu, the director, strode over and looked at them: "Have you remembered everything?"
"Don't worry, Propaganda."
“I remember.”
"no problem."
After everyone had answered, Xuan Yushu raised his hand and made an OK gesture: "Okay, we'll start in a minute."
Ten minutes later, the opening ceremony ended and Xuan Yushu walked to the camera to look at the photos taken.
As soon as Xuan Yushu left, Zhuang Yi couldn't help but raise his hand and pat his heart, whispering: "Don't say it, I was quite nervous just now."
After Zhuang Yi said this, a few people who had nothing to do gathered together and started talking.
"Who said it wasn't? I'm so afraid that if I did something wrong, the gods would blame me."
"Um... no one else is embarrassed?"
"Keep your voice down. Just think about it in your mind and don't say it out loud."
"To be honest, even though I don't believe it, I felt so pious when I was burning incense just now. It was such a wonderful experience."
Shen Xiu listened to his friends' whispered discussions, nodded silently, and once again admired their courage to say anything.
After Jiang Yanxi finished speaking, he saw Shen Xiu’s indifferent look and couldn’t help but speak out: “Captain Xiu, you were really pious just now.”
Zhuang Yi's eyes fell on Shen Xiu's current look, and he couldn't help but say, "Especially with this look, how should I put it, it feels very pious, but also a little weird."
Shang Yu: "Are you trying to express that Shen Xiu has a kind of pious yet ruthless feeling like 'wearing blood-stained Buddhist beads on his wrist'?"
Zhuang Yi clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, that's the feeling. When I was standing behind Captain Xiu, it was just a simple action, but it made me think a lot in an instant. It was so touching!"
Song Chengwang used his eyes to indicate where Xuan Yushu was. "Not only do we feel that way, but the person who was in charge of taking the photos was also very excited. He took several photos. I have a feeling that this must be a masterpiece!"
Shen Xiu raised his hand and his eyes fell on his wrist.
Not to mention Buddhist beads, there wasn't even a drop of blood.
To this day, he still often doesn't understand how his friends think.
Although... according to the content of the script, the character Han Fei he played did have the appearance they described after returning to Yicheng.
But now he has never done this style! Shen Xiu helplessly turned his gaze away from his hands and fell on his friends in confusion.
In the morning sunlight in the desert, Shen Xiu raised his hand, his cold eyes first fell on his wrist, and then fell coldly on others.
Xiang Yueting grabbed Xia Wenhao's arm and said, "We are all human beings, but why is the difference between people so much greater than the difference between people and dogs? I don't understand!"
Xia Wenhao pushed Xiang Yueting's hand away: "You just found out."
He had already understood this truth long ago when he was crushed in all aspects by Shen Xiu in the training camp!
Jiang Yanxi covered his heart with his hands: "Captain Xiu, please stop exuding your charm!"
Shang Yu couldn't help but join in the conversation: "That scene just now really felt like Han Fei."
The cameraman who filmed this scene silently praised Jiang Yanxi's words in his heart, and walked towards Xuan Yushu: "Director Xuan, I took another photo, the effect is really amazing, I think it can be added!"
Xuan Yushu had originally confirmed the photos and was about to send them to the current operator. Upon hearing this, he took a look at the one taken by the cameraman and decided without any hesitation: "Add them together and send them to the operator!"
Among the nine people, although only a few had their makeup done, but just based on the makeup and the feeling given by these people, Xuan Yushu had a feeling that even if they didn't know their acting skills, just based on their looks, passing the box office would definitely not be a problem.
Each person has a different type and looks handsome in his own way. Xuan Yushu suddenly feels that making commercial films is not as painful as he once thought.
domestic.
