Storm Shooting 3
Chen Xiu: Is this...an awkward conversation?
It must be! Otherwise, why would a stranger open his mouth and ask others where they were staying to celebrate the New Year? It was obvious that the person was so nervous that his mind was confused and his mouth was not under his control.
After thinking it through, Shen Xiu calmed down and started chatting with Butler Shen: "No, I have to go back."
Before Butler Shen could say anything, Shen Xiu felt that his words were too simple and did not seem very sincere, so he quickly added: “Lucky is waiting for me at home.”
This time he mentioned his family, which made his answer seem much more sincere than his first answer!
Butler Shen thought of the little coal ball mentioned by netizens, and his mouth moved. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Shen Xiu's cold look that did not allow any objection, the words in his mouth were stuck in his throat, and when he opened his mouth again, it became: "Okay, I know."
Chen Xiu had only spent the New Year in Yicheng once before, and left after just one day. It was indeed unrealistic for him to expect Chen Xiu to stay.
After all, nothing can ever hold back Shen Xiu and change his decision.
Seeing the butler nod, Shen Xiu responded: “Yeah.”
After responding, Shen Xiu remembered that although it was an awkward conversation, he should still ask back politely.
Shen Xiu's throat moved, and he asked back out of social etiquette: "Butler Shen, what about you?"
Hearing Shen Xiu's concern for him, Butler Shen's previous depressed mood suddenly became cheerful, and he smiled and talked about his New Year's Eve plans: "I'm old, my legs and feet are not convenient, I'm too lazy to go to Manjila this year, so I'll stay in Yicheng."
Shen Xiu knew Manjila, an island country with spring-like weather all year round. Based on his guess about the filming schedule, it might be their next stop for filming after their annual leave.
It is better to celebrate the New Year in Mangala, which is as warm as spring, than in the frozen Yicheng for the elderly who are afraid of cold. However, it is inconvenient for old people to travel, so staying in a warm room is also a good choice.
But...that's not the point.
The point is - the topic of New Year's Eve between the two sides has come to an end, what should he talk about next?
Shen Xiu was secretly going crazy.
“Xiu Da…” Jin Can came out of the elevator and saw Shen Xiu and Butler Shen standing together, and spoke subconsciously.
After just shouting once, Jin Can realized that he almost shouted the wrong thing. He coughed a few times awkwardly and quickly changed his words.
"Ahem, Mr. Shen, you're here. Director Xuan is looking for you. The little guest actor who plays your brother is here. Director Xuan wants you to meet before the filming starts."
It was just a friendly guest appearance and he didn't have to join the group, so naturally he had never met Shen Xiu before.
The director was afraid that the children would be scared to tears by Shen Xiu, so he thought of meeting him before filming to get familiar with him.
Jin Can's arrival was like the sound of nature, and Shen Xiu responded without hesitation: "Okay."
Finally having an excuse to escape from this suffocating atmosphere, Shen Xiu looked at Butler Shen, trying to suppress his joyful mood, and said with a calm expression: "Goodbye."
Butler Shen nodded: "Goodbye."
After getting a response, Shen Xiu walked towards Jin Can.
Afraid of taking the same elevator with Shen Xiu, Jin Can hurriedly said, "I still have to go and call other people, Mr. Shen, you go first."
Shen Xiu: “!”
Jin Can is a really good person. After suffering "critical blows" one after another, he now really needs space and time to be alone.
Although...the space for solitude is the elevator, and the time for solitude is less than fifteen seconds.
But it doesn’t matter. There is no harm without comparison. After a series of meditation sessions without a break, I feel satisfied in my heart that I can now get some private space and time to breathe.
"Okay." Shen Xiu responded and entered the elevator alone.
The moment the elevator door closed completely, Shen Xiu looked at the empty elevator and breathed a sigh of relief.
After Shen Xiu left, only Jin Can and Butler Shen were left staring at each other in the corridor.
When Jin Can thought that Butler Shen was the butler here, he became nervous: “Hello, Butler Shen.”
Butler Shen smiled and said, “Hello, you are busy, I have something else to do, so I will leave first.”
"Okay, okay, bye."
"goodbye."
etc......
Butler Shen and Shen Xiu just now...were they whispering something behind their backs?
Was he interrupted by someone who had no tact?
After saying goodbye to each other, Butler Shen disappeared from sight, and Jin Can belatedly realized that he seemed to have just witnessed some secret meeting.
Jin Can: “…”
It seems like his eyes can really be donated!
Jin Can sighed and went to the dressing room to notify.
After completing the notification task, Jin Can, who was full of gossip, excitedly found his friend and recounted what had just happened.
After the narration, Jin Can sighed: "Although I didn't hear what they said, the fact that the two met in private is strong evidence for our previous speculation!"
Jin Can's friend agreed: "You are right!"
Jin Can said worriedly: "I only told you this matter, don't tell anyone else."
"Don't worry, this is a little secret between the two of us, known only to you and me!"
Ten minutes later, the news that Jin Can had encountered Shen Xiu and Butler Shen's private meeting spread throughout the "Storm" miscellaneous group in a small circle.
downstairs.
The original facilities in the manor exude an atmosphere of luxury everywhere, so the crew did not need to do too much decoration. They just needed to simply make the scene look like a banquet was being held.
Being in a manor that exudes luxury and grandeur without any construction, and in the original script of "The Storm", the scriptwriter Lu Wen deliberately used real place names to write imaginary things, giving people a dreamy and real feeling.
Before the show started, everyone had the illusion that everything in "The Storm" was really happening in their real life.
The person who made all this seem more real was Shen Xiu...
Shen Xiu's outstanding conversation and appearance, his naturally fierce temperament as a boss, and his indifferent and cold attitude towards things all show his extraordinaryness to the world.
Thinking of what Jin Can said about seeing Butler Shen and Shen Xiu meeting in private, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Shen Xiu.
The world of Shen Xiu may be more shocking and unimaginable than their poor imaginations could imagine.
After listening to the director's talk about the play with his friends, Chen Xiu suddenly discovered that the crew members were secretly looking at him from time to time.
Shen Xiu: “?”
Did something happen when he wasn't aware of it?
"Alright, alright, everyone find somewhere to hide and don't appear in the camera." After the scene was set, Xuan Yushu held a small loudspeaker and asked people to disperse.
"Han Fei, Xie Yi, Ba Ze, Yi Chen..."
After hearing Xuan Yushu's words, Shen Xiu shifted his attention away from the fact that everyone was peeking at him, and put the matter behind him. He didn't want to think about it anymore, and seriously prepared for the next filming.
During this period of filming, everyone has gotten used to Xuan Yushu rarely calling them by their real names once filming begins, and instead calls them by the names of their characters in the play.
"Those whose names are called, follow me out. The rest of you stay inside and stand in your positions. I have already said this three times before filming, so I hope it's done in one go. Do you understand?"
“Good advocacy!”
"clear!"
When everyone heard themselves being called, they followed Xuan Yushu out. The extras who were called also followed him out, while the others who were not called stayed in the room.
Both the exterior and interior scenes have been set up, and everyone is standing in their own positions, nervously waiting for the filming to begin.
Most of the crew members and extras of "Storm" have worked with Xuan Yushu many times. Seeing Xuan Yushu's posture, they understood that Xuan Yushu was going to show off his skills again and shoot the whole thing in one shot.
Shang Yu, who was left in the banquet hall, reached out and tugged at the too-tight buttons on his neck before the filming officially started.
Xiang Yueting glanced at the camera and craned his neck to look outside: "Captain Xiu's outfit is so expensive, so expensive, so expensive. I really want to go out and see what it looks like when Captain Xiu makes his debut."
Hearing Xiang Yueting say "very expensive" with a lack of vocabulary, Shang Yu put down his hand that was pulling at the collar of his shirt and looked at Xiang Yueting helplessly: "That's called nobility."
Xiang Yueting: "It's all the same anyway."
After that, Xiang Yueting muttered quietly, "I wonder if I can sneak into the filming team quietly, pretending to be one of the guests, and watch Team Xiu's appearance when the director's camera is turned to the outside after we finish filming our scenes inside?"
Zhuang Yi was afraid that Xiang Yueting would be scolded if he dared to do so, so he hurriedly reminded him: "It's better not to do that. You'll be too conspicuous. Even if you just pretend to be a guest and stand among the extras, you'll be particularly conspicuous."
Xia Wenhao snorted coldly: "If you go, the emotions that the guests should convey to the audience, which should have been surprise and shock, will probably turn into silly emotions when they see you."
Ning Sinian nodded: "I understand. Captain Xiu has the temperament of a big boss, and Lao Xiang has the temperament of a silly man that Yang can't cover."
Xiang Yueting: “?”
"Are you polite?!"
With a puzzled look on his face, Xiang Yueting immediately gave up the idea of sneaking out with the guests to be an extra.
This long scene was filmed when Han Fei was shot while the Han family was holding a banquet. The injured Han Fei returned to Yicheng from Amara. On the day of the banquet, he rushed back to the Han family without stopping. On the first day after returning home, he poisoned Han's father in front of many guests at the banquet.
There weren't many people in "The Storm", so Xuan Yushu originally planned to find extras locally and rent cars for the performance.
After Butler Shen learned about this, he immediately offered to lend the cars and people in the manor to the crew of "Storm" for filming.
As a result, the crew of "The Storm" saved a lot of money.
According to Xuan Yushu's request, Shen Xiu sat in the car driven by the driver and left the manor temporarily.
As the chief director, Xuan Yushu needs to coordinate the filming process through the walkie-talkie. Holding the walkie-talkie in his hand, he watches the filming process from a place where the camera cannot reach.
Seeing that everything was ready, Xuan Yushu raised his hand to signal for the filming to begin.
"Action!"
In the banquet hall where toasts were being made, a figure hurried in from outside, leaned close to the ear of Han's father, who was talking and laughing in a low voice with the guests, and whispered a few words.
After hearing what the housekeeper said, Han's father's expression suddenly changed, and the hand holding the red wine glass trembled slightly.
"Boss Han, what's wrong?"
Hearing the question from his business partner, Father Han smiled again and tilted his head to look at his partner with a smile: "Hahaha, it's nothing, just a small matter."
"Excuse me for a moment."
"You are busy."
Father Han smiled, turned around, and strode out the door with the help of the housekeeper.
The guests in the banquet hall had been observing Han's father's actions quietly. After seeing Han's father go out, they gathered in twos and threes, looking at Han's father's back and talking in low voices.
"Aren't the guests already here? Who is Mr. Han going out to greet at this time?"
"Welcome? Are you kidding? Mr. Han's expression is so good that he can even put on a show of changing his face."
"The Han family is the only one in Yicheng, who is worthy of Chairman Han to personally welcome him?"
After filming the guests' discussions, the camera swept to the corner of the banquet hall, where several young people were standing in front of a long table where they could get their food. Several young people with outstanding temperament were standing together.
Zhong Cheng'an, played by Xiang Yueting, was putting food on his plate while curiously looking in the direction where Han's father left and gossiping to his friends.
"Yan Lin, Gu Xi, Liang Jing, the three of you tell me, what happened to that old man? Why does he look like he's facing a great enemy? Is this a ghost?"
Zhou Yanlin, looking pale, glanced around to make sure no one heard them before answering, "According to my brother, the Han family is not clean and the water is deep. Don't talk nonsense here."
Gu Xi, played by Ning Sinian, frowned slightly upon hearing this and glanced at Zhou Yanlin hesitantly.
Zhou Yanlin seemed to have noticed something, and looked at Gu Xi with a gentle smile on his lips: "Gu Xi, if you have something to say, just say it."
Gu Xi then spoke: "You asked me to say it. Actually, I wanted to say it when I came here, but I was afraid that you would be unhappy, so forget it..."
Gu Xi squeezed the metallic fork in his hand irritably, and looked at Zhou Yanlin with his black and white eyes.
"Yan Lin, is there something wrong with your brother Zhou Yanxun's brain? He clearly told you that the Han family was in danger. He clearly knew that you were kidnapped and shot in Amara not long ago, and you only survived because your heart was planted backwards. You haven't recovered yet, but he let you come to the Han family. Don't you think there is something wrong?"
While listening to Gu Xi's speech, Zhou Yanlin's gentle smile gradually cooled.
After a while, he looked at Gu Xi steadily: "Gu Xi, my brother is just not free, so he asked me to attend the Han family's banquet."
“After all, the Han family’s invitation to the banquet cannot be refused.”
Hearing this, Liang Jing, who had been standing behind the three people in silence from beginning to end, sneered: "If I remember correctly, Zhou Yanxun, Mr. Zhou, was photographed by the media shopping with your father when he asked you, his employer, to attend the banquet. The father is kind and the son is filial."
Zhong Cheng'an withdrew his gaze and realized belatedly that something was wrong with the atmosphere among everyone, so he spoke up to smooth things over.
"Haha, alright, alright, don't be angry, we are all friends, and we don't mean any harm by what we say."
"Gu Xi, don't talk nonsense. Brother Zhou is a very nice person."
Zhou Yanlin's expression softened, and he nodded with a gentle smile: "Well, my eldest brother is indeed a good person."
Gu Xi looked at Zhou Yanlin's expression and forced a smile: "Well, I was overthinking it."
"Then...should we go out and join in the fun?" Zhong Cheng'an stared curiously at the backs of a large group of guests as they left.
Zhou Yanlin glanced at them nonchalantly, smiled and said without interest: "You guys go, I won't go."
Gu Xi was worried: "I won't go either."
Liang Jing: "I will stay wherever my employer is. I won't go anywhere."
Everyone said so. Zhong Chengan's eyes fell on Zhou Yanlin's heart and he sighed: "Then I won't join in the fun."
After filming the main characters' scenes, the directors followed the director's instructions in the headset and moved the camera outwards to film the guests who had gone out to see the gossip out of curiosity.
The guests stood behind Han's father. Han's father looked at the cars that kept driving in with a gloomy face. He didn't care at all about the guests who were standing not far behind him watching the show. His body was tense.
Outside the banquet hall.
In the heavy snow, a long line of black cars stopped one after another.
Looking at the endless convoy, the guests nervously grasped the hands of their companions, stared at the convoy with apprehension, and whispered to the people closest to them.
"What's going on? What does the Han family want to do?"
"Our cars were not allowed to drive in and were only allowed to stay outside. Why were these cars allowed to drive in?"
"No matter what I do, this situation is not right. If I had known this, I would not have come today. I am not going to die here today, am I?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are now living in a society ruled by law. How could it be possible that..."
"Have you forgotten what Mr. Han's ex-wife's son did? You are ruling the Han family, what are you kidding..."
"Shh...someone's getting off the bus."
After the car stopped for a few seconds, Xie Yi, played by Jiang Yanxi, opened the passenger door and got out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Xie Yi didn't even look at Han's father and the guests behind him. He walked straight to the back seat and opened the back door.
Xie Yi bent over and opened the car door while taking the umbrella handed to him by the bodyguards who got out of the car.
Opening the black umbrella, Xie Yi respectfully said to the car: "Mr. Han, we are home."
"Yeah." A cold voice came from inside the car.
Then, the guests first saw a pair of clean black leather shoes stepping on the snow, and then a pair of long legs wrapped in a black suit stepped out of the car door.
Heavy snow flakes kept falling on the open black umbrella.
Father Han and the guests were standing under the eaves. When they saw the tall, stern-looking man under the umbrella, who looked very aggressive and full of cold and murderous aura, they all turned pale.
"Han, Han Fei..."
"Why is he back? Damn, I should have checked the almanac before going out today..."
"You brought so many people with you. It's over. Are we going to die here today?"
"Is it too late to leave now?"
"What do you think?"
Father Han listened to the constant whispers coming from behind him. The sound of the whistling wind and snow was very loud. Although he couldn't hear clearly, he could guess what everyone was saying.
Without even turning around to look, he could imagine the look of horror on everyone's faces.
Han Fei was wearing a suit with a simple black coat on the outside. His cold eyes swept over the guests who were greeting him outside the door one by one.
Ignoring the shocked, surprised, or horrified looks on the guests' faces, Han Fei raised his hand slightly. When everyone gasped, afraid that Han Fei's gesture had some special meaning, Han Fei just leisurely adjusted his cufflinks.
When Han Fei was adjusting his cuffs, the guests saw that Han Fei, the eldest son of the Han family who was rumored to have been abandoned and exiled, and a cold-blooded and ruthless killer, had a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist.
Everyone: “…”
Nowadays, does the executioner have someone to help him transcend after killing someone?
At this moment, the guests present had only one thought in their minds: wearing Buddhist beads on Han Fei, who was full of evil spirit, had nothing to do with compassion, it seemed disconnected and weird.
Father Han took a deep breath, and when Han Fei didn't take the initiative to call him, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Xiao Fei, why didn't you tell Dad that you came back?"
Hearing what Han's father said, Han Fei looked at Han's father with a chill in his eyes. The words were indeed spoken to the people around him.
"Thank you, glasses."
"Okay Mr. Han."
Yi Chen took the black umbrella from Xie Yi. Xie Yi took the gold-rimmed glasses from the glasses case opened by Ba Ze, and with white gloves on his hands, he handed them to Han Fei with both hands.
Han Fei picked up his glasses and put them on his nose, then he said to his father indifferently: "I forgot."
Father Han: “…”
The gold-rimmed glasses worn on Han Fei's head, like the Buddhist beads on Han Fei's wrist, could not do anything to conceal the coldness that filled his body.
The guests swallowed nervously, looking at Han Fei, who was dressed in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses in the heavy snow. They had only one thought in their minds - well-dressed... Oh no, a beast in human clothing, a scum of gentlemanly virtue!
Of course, everyone tacitly agreed to only think about these words in their hearts and did not dare to say them in front of Han Fei.
Father Han was choked by Han Fei's words, his expression changed, and finally he strode to Han Fei, intending to play the role of a loving father and a filial son in front of the guests, and said with a smile: "Haha... It's okay, let's go in, it's cold outside."
Han Fei stared at Han's father's smiling face for a few seconds. When cold sweat broke out on Han's father's forehead, Han Fei's previously expressionless face suddenly revealed a gentle smile, and he leaned over to whisper in Han's father's ear.
Han Fei had a small smile on his face, but his voice was sinister: "It's okay, Dad. It's you who will be cold later, not me..."
Seeing Han Fei wearing the most gentle expression and speaking in the harshest voice, the actor who played Han's father was in a trance for a moment, and he couldn't tell whether the person standing in front of him was Shen Xiu himself or Han Fei in "Storm". He swallowed his saliva, his mind was a little confused, and he forgot to say his lines for a while.
He didn't dare to say that at that moment, he had the illusion that he could see Shen Xiu himself through Han Fei.
At the same time, when the guests standing behind Han's father saw Han Fei smile, some extras couldn't help but cover their mouths and made uncontrollable surprised noises.
"He, he smiled..."
"Master Xiu's smile is so creepy..."
Before the extra could finish his words, he was pulled back by the extras around him, and he came to his senses and shut up in panic.
Xuan Yushu frowned as he looked at the camera. He didn't expect that when Shen Xiu smiled according to the script during the performance, this would be the result. Han's father, who was slow to speak his lines, and the words of the extras ruined the previous one-shot shooting.
“Crack!”
Hearing Xuan Yushu's voice, Shen Xiu immediately shifted his gaze away from the actor who played Han's father. He was too embarrassed to touch his pounding heart in front of everyone.
Chen Xiu didn't know why the actor who played Han's father, who had been acting so well, suddenly stopped responding to him after he finished his lines. He kept the same look and posture as in the play, which was quite awkward.
Shen Xiu was about to turn around and find his friends to relieve his tension, but when he turned around, he saw Song Chengwang and others looking at him anxiously.
Not only the extras, but even those beside Shen Xiu couldn't tell for a moment whether Shen Xiu had always smiled like that, or whether Shen Xiu had such a chilling expression just for the role of Han Fei.
Chen Xiu was puzzled: "You guys..."
Mu Zhenchu swallowed his saliva, looking dazed: "Captain Xiu, did you just... laugh?"
good evening!
