Director’s Legend

As usual, Lao Bai sat on the chair brought by the staff, holding a parasol with the "Hahawa" logo next to him. Field clerk Xiao Wu hurriedly ran over to light a cigarette.

"Xiao Wu, go find Hua Hua, and I'll tell her a trick." Lao Bai swallowed a mouthful of smoke, crossed his legs, and said calmly.

"Okay." Xiao Wu immediately ran to the crew's air-conditioned car.

Within a few minutes, a beautiful woman dressed in a flashy dress came over with a twist of her steps and leaned on Lao Bai: "Oh, director, what kind of drama are you talking about on a hot day? You can't wait until night? The weather is too hot. , tanned my skin."

Lao Bai chuckled and pinched Huahua's slender waist: "Little Huahua, you still dare to talk back to the director. You are an actor, you know. You have to be dedicated. You can come over whenever I ask you to talk about the show. Do you understand?" ! Believe it or not, I will delete your scene now."

"I was wrong, director, you tell me, Huahua is listening." Huahua immediately acted coquettishly.

"That's right, come close to your mouth, oh, come close to your ears..."

After rubbing Hua Hua'er's temples together for a while, Lao Bai finally let Hua Hua go away, then he smoked a pack of Su cigarettes worth twenty, raised his head high like a lion, and surveyed his territory. The weather was too hot, the crew hadn't started filming yet, and a few employees were lazing around playing cards.

At this time, a young man with a peaked cap and unshaven beard came over.

Lao Bai was about to straighten his face and asked the security guard why people were still allowed to come in after the crew had cleared out. The young man took out a pack of yellow-leather Yellow Crane Towers from his pocket and gave one to Lao Bai: "Director, we are filming. I'm here to see the world. Don't you want to disturb me?"

"Oh, limited edition Yellow Crane Tower." Lao Bai's eyes lit up, and he immediately put the cigarette to his nose and smelled it. The smell was authentic, and he immediately swallowed the words to scare people away. After another look, I saw that although this young man was wearing simple clothes, they were all international famous brands, and he immediately put on a smile. "Where did the little brother come from?"

"Luzhou. I'm traveling here and heard that someone is making a movie. I came here to see it. I'm especially envious of you guys making movies. You're so majestic."

Lao Bai threw away his twenty-one packs of Su cigarettes. Order the limited edition Yellow Crane Tower. He took a comfortable puff and said, "It's just average. I only manage more than a hundred people and a few small stars."

Now I started chatting with the young man, and the conversation started. Lao Bai suddenly felt like a confidant. The young man seems to be a close friend, sharing many of the same views as Lao Bai, such as the constructive shooting of sex scenes, the borrowing and practical experience of kissing scenes, and the various benefits of unspoken rules.

The conversation got so exciting that Lao Bai even forgot about filming: "I'm telling you, young man, I'm not bragging. Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang are like me, brothers. It's just that Lao Bai, I am engaged in art, not business." Development, the films I shoot are all for experts to see..."

"Awesome, Lao Bai, what did you think at the time that you wanted to pursue the path of director?"

"Directing is to guide others to act. If you want to act, you have to accept my guidance. Why do you tell me, hehe." Lao Bai smiled.

"Gao! Old Bai, you make movies without earning box office. Have you ever considered what if, I mean if, one day no one sponsors your movies anymore, what would you do?"

"A person has one mouth and two legs. How can he starve to death if he doesn't film?"

"I see that your life as a filmmaker is not very good. Have you ever thought about giving up? Or if the movie is not well received, have you ever wavered and stopped filming?"

"You young man has such a bad mouth. I don't think I can survive. If it weren't for the sake of your cigarettes, I would have fired you away. Let me tell you, whether the movie is good or not is secondary. Yes, the most important thing is whether you find fun in the process of making a movie. If you are not filming, where can you sleep with a starlet? If you are not filming, where can you have fun?"

Lao Bai said in an experienced tone, "What do people do art for? It's a bitch's art. If you don't have money and no fun, who cares whether it's art or bullshit. Do you know which colleague I envy the most?"

The young man was stunned: "Which one?"

"Shao Shuaijun, I heard about this junior who used to film in Hengdian. I was very optimistic about him and gave him some advice on how to film. But this kid is smart and knows how to study money. He started his own company. He has a lot of money. What kind of movie do he want to make? No matter what movie he makes, bitch, he made it for 100 million US dollars and turned it into shit, and there are still a lot of people waiting to praise him. The day before yesterday, Liu Yifei, you know, wrote on Weibo that he will always support Shao Shuaijun, and vomited it out! That Master Liu, who is so handsome, tsk tsk, also wrote on Weibo that Shao Shuaijun is the best director in her heart, tell me, don’t people have to live like this, sleeping with women, playing with stocks..." Lao Bai looked envious. .

The young man's tone was slightly low: "Perhaps, he has his own pursuits. "Night Watcher" suffered a huge loss, which must have been a big blow to him."

"What a big fart, it's not like he can't afford to pay. Dream Chasing Company has more than one billion assets, a listed company, a large multinational company, and his own building will be built soon."

Lao Bai took a sip and said: "You know the most popular TV series now, "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which his company filmed, and the broadcast cost for one round is almost hundreds of millions; you know the most popular entertainment program, "The Voice of China", he Produced by the company, the online live broadcast rights sold to Sohu website are worth hundreds of millions; I know that "Adolescence", which is currently in theaters, has a box office of nearly over 100 million, and it was also produced by his company; I know that "The Big Bang Theory" that Americans love to watch now , was also produced by his company; "The Twilight Saga: Twilight" was just released in North America. Did you know that it won the weekly championship in the first week? This is the movie he gave up directing, although it is quite silly..."

"Listen to what you say, he really doesn't have much impact."

"It can't be said that it wasn't a blow. He was scolded quite miserably, and "The Night Watcher" did indeed lose a lot of money. However, as long as his company continues to make money, it doesn't matter if he makes movies every day and loses money, he can still play with women and live in the upper class. Life, tsk tsk, I can’t envy you.”

"Maybe his pursuit is not just to enjoy life."

"Come on, let him fight on the streets for half his life and see if he still pursues art. People, you have to see the reality clearly. Filming is also a part of life. If you give it to me, I will film "Twilight". I heard that he dislikes "Twilight". "Twilight" is too childish and unchallenging. In my opinion, it's just a disease of middle school students that needs to be cured! I said, young man, we had a very good chat. Are you interested in sponsoring my movie and giving you a supporting role? If you have an idea, you know, hehe."

The young man touched his hat and showed an unshaven smile: "Old Bai, I benefited a lot from what you said. There is no need for a supporting role. I am more used to being the protagonist. I wish you a happy filming. Oh, by the way. ."

The young man pointed to a few women who were chatting next to the air-conditioned car. They were all small stars in the crew, and said, "Lao Bai, have you seen that? That one is quite short and has two freckles on her face. That woman will be your future one." My wife, be nice to her, trust me. Bye."

After speaking, while Lao Bai was confused and puzzled, the young man stood up and walked out.

He took off his hat halfway, looked up at the sky, and shouted silently.

"Thank you, Lao Bai, for letting me understand that my story has just begun. I am Shao Shuaijun. I will fail, but I will never give up! I have cured the second disease and continue on my path!" (To be continued.) )
