Director’s Legend

"One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four. Stop, Director Shao, you made a mistake in this movement. When MJ grabs the crotch, the waist should be straightened, but the upper body should not move. Like this, one two three four."

In the dance classroom, the dance teacher sat down meticulously and mj often made cool crotch grabbing movements. This action may look a bit clumsy at first, but it's very cool when it's done in its entirety.

It was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and there were still many people practicing in the dance studio. These people were all actors from the "Old Boy" crew, including Shao Shuaijun. In order to make the story of the film more refined and smooth, Wang Xiaoshuai and Xiao Dabao performed a lot of dance moves, especially imitating MJ's classic moves.

Others also have some coordinated dance moves, mainly in the two shots. After Wang Xiaoshuai and Xiao Dabao became friends for a period of time, they practiced with each other, in order to express that kind of close friendship and to highlight this kind of brotherly feeling. This period of rapid transition will be displayed in a grand dance mode.

Not only will the dances of Shao Shuaijun and Huang Bo be interspersed, but the students will join in happily, basically imitating the pattern of Bollywood Indian singing and dancing. Of course, this is not the main plot, it would be more interesting to arrange a song and dance properly.

The second section is about the gangsters outside the school. Before Xiao Dabao and his classmates start fighting, they use break dance outside the school and mj dance inside the school to compete with each other.

These two bridges use a lot of dance, and they have to combine nostalgia and pop. For this reason, I had to invite a well-known domestic imitator of MJ to teach dance.

As the leading actors, Shao Shuaijun and Huang Bo, naturally had to practice hard. Compared with Huang Bo, he has a little dance foundation. Shao Shuaijun just rushed the ducks to the shelves.

"Is that so?" Shao Shuaijun grabbed his crotch with one hand and supported the back of his head with the other, then loosened his waist and made a jerky movement.

The dance teacher shook his head: "You only need to exert force on your waist and let your body relax naturally. Your limbs are too stiff, you can't move your whole body, you have to combine the rhythm..."

"Forget it, I'll find a substitute." Shao Shuaijun immediately became impatient.

"Don't tell me, MJ's dance moves are so cool. It's a loss of points if you don't do it yourself. Junzi, you have some courage. Look at me, look at me, how handsome." Huang Bo gloated at the side, twisting Hips. A slide that sits backwards. A crotch grab action. Chic and casual.

"The movements are pretty cool, but the face loses points. You have a handsome face like mine. You don't need to do these complicated movements." Shao Shuaijun's face twitched twice. He was also new to MJ's dance, and Huang Bo, who had a solid foundation, He learned very quickly, but Shao Shuaijun has been learning for a week, and the movement of grabbing the crotch is still so awkward.

"Male talent and female appearance, what men want is talent, look, talent!" Huang Bo ignored Shao Shuaijun's personal attack and continued to play handsome. electric eye.

"Hahahaha." There was a burst of laughter.

"Boss, didn't Miss Xiuxiu say that you are going all out? How can you be stumped by a single dance? When you were filming today, didn't you proudly teach others that you can't even dance well? Are you stupid? Why, now I..." Yang Ying laughed and started the mocking function.

Liu Shishi also laughed: "That's right, just relying on Director Shao's dance moves, I definitely can't catch up with the school girl."

Shao Shuaijun blushed: "What do you know, those who work hard rule people, and those who work hard rule others. I am the one who works hard and controls everything with my brain, but you can only work hard, and then you will be ruled by people who work hard like me. In other words , I’m the director, I can do whatever I want! So, you dance, I just have to watch.” Shao Shuaijun, who was ridiculed repeatedly, simply broke the jar and threw it.

"Come on boss, you dance very well, come on, keep dancing." Yang Ying coaxed.

Huang Bo also said: "Junzi, don't be discouraged. In fact, you are also very talented in dancing. Although you are still far behind me, you are more talented than most of them. I like you, young man."

"Boss, I strongly support you. Your dancing is the best." Assistant director Gao Zhisheng squinted a pair of wretched little eyes and flattered him. Among the three assistant directors, Wang Yixue and Jiang Zhigang were more rigorous and were arranged by Shao Shuaijun to sort out the copies. Gao Zhisheng and director assistant Yang Ying were responsible for serving the dance students.

"Fuck off, you're going to fool me. I'm the director, and I understand everything. You guys continue to dance, and I'll find a substitute!" Shao Shuaijun sat down on the floor, turned on the electric fan, and blew on himself. In summer, even in an air-conditioned room, dancing for a while will still make you sweaty.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Shao Shuaijun started to play tricks, they really couldn't stop him, who called him the director.

At this time, the door of the dance studio was pushed open, and Li Xiuxiu and her assistant came in with a large bag of drinks and food. Yang Ying immediately ran over: "Sister Xiuxiu, you're finally here. The boss danced so cool just now, do you want to watch it?"

"Really, I want to see it." Li Xiuxiu was immediately fooled.

Shao Shuaijun blinked his eyes and looked at the ceiling: "I have already decided to hire a substitute. Dance is a kind of pediatrics, and it is a bit cheap..."

"Hey, hey, why ask for a stand-in, how nice it is to dance by yourself." Li Xiuxiu said doubtfully.

"That's right, Mr. Li said exactly what he said."

"President Li is a great talent."

Everyone immediately agreed with each other.

Facing Li Xiuxiu, Shao Shuaijun always lost his temper: "Can I ask for a substitute?"

"No, I want you to dance by yourself." Li Xiuxiu is so smart, she instantly sensed the reason, and then said with a smile.

Shao Shuaijun was speechless: "Okay, I'll dance. Dance teacher, let me have some music accompaniment."

The music started, and everyone shared the food and drinks brought by Li Xiuxiu, while Shao Shuaijun followed the dance teacher to dance a section of MJ's dance, and then switched to the crotch grabbing action. Shao Shuaijun still didn't do a good job. It felt that his whole body was exerting strength and doing jerky movements instead of the waist straddling.

Shao Shuaijun, who knew he made a mistake, rolled his eyes: "Come on, I'll be here tonight. Everyone gets off work."

All eyes were on him.

Shao Shuaijun had no choice but to say speechlessly: "Continue tomorrow night, okay?"

"That's right." Huang Bo laughed loudly, holding a chicken paw, "Come on, who will go with me in the wine tonight to show your hands, just learned the MJ dance, it will be uncomfortable if you don't play it?"

"If you go to drink, I'll call my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law told me to report to her in time." Yang Ying also gnawed on the chicken feet. vaguely.

"What a disappointment." Huang Bo shrank his neck.

"Okay. Everyone, after you go back, think carefully about the dance you learned tonight. Don't throw it away when you get home. We will start filming the dancing scene in a few days. Gao Zhisheng. Go tell Wang Yixue and Jiang Zhigang. Today Don't take it too late. Go back to rest early." Shao Shuaijun put his arms around Li Xiuxiu and said casually to everyone.

He had a hunch that if he danced in person. Definitely a drag bottle. It's not known when it will be practiced, and there is no need for others to rush to catch up with the progress. It is embarrassing to see him alone after finishing. He can howl a few words in singing, but dancing is really not his specialty.

Sure enough, in the subsequent filming, the progress of everything was very fast, except for the dancing, which progressed slowly.

Huang Bo has already performed all the dance moves involving MJ proficiently, but Shao Shuaijun is still in the stage of decomposing the movements. He can only care about his hands but not his feet. He can only decompose one movement after another to perform. He has never been shy in front of the camera before, but gradually he lost his confidence when he saw the camera.

One day, looking at his lame movements, Shao Shuaijun finally despaired, came up with an idea in desperation, and summoned the director team.

"Everyone, I came up with a good idea today. I think our previous shooting direction was wrong. In the rematch, Wang Xiaoshuai was in charge of dancing and Xiao Dabao was in charge of singing. Then, why did we portray Xiao Dabao as proficient in high school? MJ's dance? Why not let Xiao Dabao dance a little more lamely to make it more interesting?"

"Junzi, are you breaking the jar?" Wang Yixue pointed out Shao Shuaijun's intentions.

Shao Shuaijun hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "No, no, it's definitely not because I can't dance well. In fact, I can dance well, right?"

Yang Ying blinked her eyes, but she didn't say what she wanted to say, so she nodded.

"I just knew that my dancing is good for all to see." Shao Shuaijun blew up, "I'm mainly afraid of stealing Huang Bo's limelight, Wang Xiaoshuai and Xiao Dabao must have a division of labor, otherwise the portrayal of the characters will conflict. For the sake of the movie, I decided to sacrifice my own performance opportunities. So, let's redesign the storyboard like this."

Although this was Shao Shuaijun's evasive move, behind the camera, it has received good results.

Especially in one of the shots, Wang Xiaoshuai and Xiao Dabao are dancing on the railing on the roof. The two first move as a whole, and then walk forward with their crotch grasped. The "Old Boy" movie is not mainly funny, but this kind of small humor can adjust the whole plot very well, making the originally thin shots and thin characters more full.

Ever since, positioning Xiao Dabao as a scumbag in dancing, Shao Shuaijun finally escaped the embarrassing dance practice, gradually regained his previous self-confidence, and showed himself well in front of the camera.

"Ka, this shot is perfect, it's over!"

Time flies, and it is the end of August in a blink of an eye. "Old Boy" is progressing at a rapid pace, and it will soon reach the final scene. This scene is two sets of shots. One is Xiao Dabao throwing the guitar because he was rejected by the school beauty. into the lake. In the other group, after they became friends with Wang Xiaoshuai, they went to the lake to fish the guitar together.

At the same time, the global box office of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" has reached 630 million U.S. dollars. Even if it is still in theaters in a few regions, the global total box office will not exceed 650 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the global US$790 million of the second "New Moon", it has dropped a lot, but it is still a big profit. The follow-up sequel has also begun preparations, and the fourth "Dawn" will be divided into two parts.

On September 4, 2009, "Slumdog Millionaire" was officially released on a small scale in India and North America.

On this day, by the small lake, Shao Shuaijun, Huang Bo and others held their guitars high.

"Card!" Wang Yixue called out the card.

Then Shao Shuaijun climbed ashore and looked at the camera carefully, picked up the loudspeaker, and shouted loudly: "I announce that "Old Boy" is finished!" (To be continued...)
