The shooting continued in the afternoon and everything was as usual, except that the atmosphere was a bit off.
This is a vigilance skill developed by being a gangster leader who has been hiding in the shadows for many years.
But Jiangbei couldn't find the problem and could only analyze it by observing the surrounding situation.
But nothing was found.
Confused, he took advantage of the intermission to find Ancheng Gambling King and asked: "Liangliang, have you noticed that the atmosphere this afternoon is a bit strange?"
Liangliang, who was holding up the radio equipment with his head lowered, subconsciously lost his voice when he heard this: "It's not me!"
"What the hell?" Jiang Bei looked confused.
"No...it's nothing. Brother, what did you just ask me?" Liangliang finally realized it, shook her head quickly and changed the subject.
Jiang Bei had no choice but to repeat what he just said.
"It's... not bad, I just feel like the temperature has dropped, and my back feels a little chilly." Liang Liang muttered in a low voice.
"Maybe I'm overthinking." Jiang Bei felt that he was indeed overthinking, so he waved away his inner doubts and asked, "Has everything been done?"
"It's done...it's done." Liangliang bit her lip and replied.
In fact, if it were normal, Liangliang's expression and behavior would easily arouse Jiangbei's suspicion. But unfortunately, his attention was entirely focused on the big things he was going to do next, so his guard against the only confidant around him was greatly reduced.
, so that the difference was not noticed.
then……
"Okay! Then I'll start an uprising." Jiang Bei patted his butt and walked towards Li Youqing with high spirits.
"That brother..." Suddenly, Liangliang shouted from behind.
"Huh?" Jiang Bei stopped and turned to look at the gambling king.
Liangliang hesitated for a moment, stretched out two fingers and gestured: "Are we relatives?"
"Of course."
"But you must remember it!"
"Are you afraid that I won't give you a supporting role? Don't worry. As long as the script can be changed, I will write a big play later so that all your friends can participate."
Jiangbei thought Liangliang wanted to remind him of the deal they agreed on, so he patted his chest and promised.
Maybe you thought Liangliang’s words were interesting, but you couldn’t help but shrugged and added: “Who said we are relatives?”
"Hehe... Brother, you are so kind." Liangliang scratched her head and smiled innocently.
This flattery was very satisfying, and seemed to have the effect of increasing confidence, allowing Jiangbei to see the dawn of hope.
With this dawn, he came to Li Youqing who was sitting next to the monitor.
"Wife?"
"Huh?" Li Youqing glanced at him indifferently, then looked back and continued playing on his phone.
"Well, I have something to discuss with you. It's about the script." Jiang Bei didn't mince words. He sat down next to him and went straight to the topic.
"Say." Li Youqing raised his eyelids and asked with a slight smile.
"It's like this." Jiang Bei thought about the draft and said slowly: "After a whole day of shooting, I deeply realized that the script I wrote before was very immature from a commercial perspective as well as literary and artistic depth. Since
If it is immature, it will definitely be a failure, so with a responsible attitude, I strongly request that the script be drastically changed or even rewritten to save this failed work."
These words were the reason Jiangbei spent a lot of time figuring out today.
It would be great if Li Youqing could be deceived by these words, but if not, he could also create an opponent and then recruit allies to help him speak, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
"Is this script a failure? I think it's very good!" Li Youqing said with a frown and his chin.
"Honey, your understanding of the script is not deep, so it is inevitable that you will not read the script as thoroughly as we do." Jiang Bei saw Li Youqing gradually falling into the trap he had set, and he was secretly happy in his heart but said unhurriedly on the surface.
"Oh?" Li Youqing had a playful look in his eyes when he heard this, and asked, "Then should we ask Sister Sui Xi and the others to come over and discuss it together?"
"I think..."
Jiang Bei was about to nod and answer subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong and stopped instantly.
Looking at Li Youqing's half-smiling face, the old man didn't hesitate at all and turned around to leave.
"Where are you going?" Li Youqing asked.
"Go to the toilet first."
"Then you have to hurry up! Otherwise, you won't be able to catch the big Brexit vote."
Jiang Bei was stunned for a moment, and he almost lost his footing when he stepped out with his left leg and threw himself forward.
Hiss~
Something big happened!
How could she know?
"Why, don't you want to go to the toilet?" Li Youqing looked at the familiar figure, picked up the hair on the temples and played with it in his hands, while teasing.
"Suddenly I feel like I don't need to go to the toilet anymore..." Jiang Bei turned his head and rubbed his hands in embarrassment before replying.
"Then come and sit down." Li Youqing patted the stool next to him and said with a smile.
Jiang Bei sat back obediently.
Li Youqing grabbed his big hand, clasped it behind his back, and asked, "Do you think it's right to cheat on your wife?"
"wrong."
"Why do you do this if it's not right?"
"I don't want to get angry."
Li Youqing suddenly realized: "So actually you think the quality of the script is very high."
"this……"
Women are extremely logical at times like this. Two sentences directly confirmed Jiang Bei's inner thoughts, and now even if he wanted to forcefully defend himself, there was nothing he could do.
Of course, just because he couldn't explain it didn't mean that Li Youqing would just give up.
"I heard that you are planning to write a script for Sister Sui Xi that will win the Star Awards?"
Another heavy hammer, as if you were on the edge of an abyss, always in danger of falling.
Jiangbei heard this and said righteously: "Who started the rumor?"
In my heart: Damn Zhang Jiuliang, I will kill you to sacrifice to heaven when you turn around!
Li Youqing rolled up the broken hair in his hand, and said with a slight sigh: "Is this a rumor...or is it true? I don't know. I only know that some people would rather tailor scripts for others than
Help your wife get through this difficult time."
"Youyou... there is definitely a misunderstanding here." Jiang Bei wiped the cold sweat that was about to break out on his forehead and tried to explain, but was interrupted by Li Youqing shaking his head: "It doesn't matter whether there is a misunderstanding or not, I only know his wife
Now she is very sad and sad because the man she loves the most has been cheating on her. That man did not really support her in the entertainment industry."
Xiao Nizi's mood seemed to be getting worse and worse, which could be felt from the sudden disappearance of her smile and her low tone.
"I..." Jiang Bei opened his dry mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"In the end, one person resisted everything."
With a long sigh, the slightly blown wind took away the beautiful shadow, leaving only the fragrance in the air.
this......
...
Things became serious, and from that day on, Li Youqing began to deliberately keep a distance from Jiang Bei.
Not going home together.
Don't eat with him.
One person sleeps in a room at night.
He didn't even say anything. No matter how Jiang Bei apologized or comforted him, it was of no use.
The crew was still operating normally, but after that day he never dared to mention the script revision. In fact, it was useless even if he did. Because he, the director, was directly eliminated in disguise, and he only had to sit in front of the monitor and watch every day.
He watched the actors compete, and then nothing happened to him.
This made him more or less helpless and melancholy. After finishing his day's work, he came home and sat at the dinner table, looking at the table full of delicacies without any appetite, with a sad face.
The atmosphere at home was a bit solemn, and it was quiet and silent.
If there are no accidents, this silence will last for a long time.
"萐流~"
Jiang Bei glanced in the direction of the sound, and it was the gambling king of Anseong who was sipping powder in a bowl.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make a sound." Seeing his brother looking over, Liang Liang lowered his head guiltily and explained.
Jiang Bei had a gloomy look on his face, picked up the fork placed on the dining table, put it down, and said, "If you say you're sorry, just apologize."
It's annoying to talk about it. If the gambling king hadn't done something wrong and was careless when entering Sui Xi's room and didn't check whether there was a third person, Li Youqing wouldn't have heard what he said in the end.
So if she doesn’t apologize, who will?
Liangliang grabbed the fork and held it far away. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, we are relatives!"
Relatives?
Not anymore.
"Have you ever heard of annihilating relatives for justice? Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
"But this incident was an accident! And I am only an accomplice, not the mastermind. The crime will not lead to death." Liang Liang cried sadly and opened his mouth to cry out for injustice. There were still uneaten vermicelli in his mouth.
"Ha! You mean you want me to die? Okay, okay, I'll apologize right now." Jiang Bei sneered and stretched out his hand to get the fork.
"No!" Liangliang quickly took the fork in his hand and jumped away. He looked at his brother and then at the fork in his own hand, and said with a grimace, "Then I'd better apologize."
After saying that, Liangliang held the fork with both hands and pointed it toward her stomach: "Ah~! I'm dead."
With a special effect sound, Liangliang fell to the ground.
Jiangbei: "..."
Facing the gambling king who was like a living treasure, Jiang Bei really didn't know what to do. He shook his head and got up and walked to the sofa in the living room to sit down. He glanced at Li Youqing's room and hesitated for a while before knocking on the door.
I have knocked on it many times over the past few days.
If you knock it any more, it will easily annoy people.
I can only choose to find other ways to solve the problem.
"Swish swish~"
Seeing that her brother didn't care about her anymore, Liangliang quickly got up from the ground and ran over to give her advice: "Brother, I have a way to 'bring the dead back to life', do you want to listen to it?"
"What can we do?" Although I didn't really want to hear the opinion of this dog-headed military advisor, it seemed like there was no one in Jiangbei besides her to discuss countermeasures at this moment.
Looking for father-in-law Li Qiangguo?
The old man is counting on the young couple to have a baby soon. If he knew that there would be a conflict over this matter, he would definitely not be on his side.
So this is probably the loneliness of being a black fan leader.
Liangliang didn't know that her brother had thought so much in such a short period of time. She was thinking about how to make up for her mistakes and quickly started to make suggestions after hearing this: "Brother, this matter is just that my sister-in-law is very disappointed that you want to deliberately change the script. Even
It's to make her overturn your previous behavior of jumping on the enemy's side. So if you want to ease the relationship between you and your sister-in-law again, the first thing you have to do is tell her that you have not rebelled, and that you have always supported her."
"That's the truth, but do you think your sister-in-law can listen to what I'm saying now, or can you believe it?" Jiang Bei shook his head and asked.
The occurrence of this incident directly caused a crisis of trust between him and Li Youqing. This kind of crisis cannot be alleviated by words alone, otherwise the other party would not have said a word to him in the past few days.
"I'm sure you won't listen to me. What I mean is that as long as you prove it with actual actions, brother," Liang Liang said.
"Practical action?" This made Jiangbei a little confused. What kind of practical action?
Seeing this, Liangliang quietly came in and reminded: "Making a good movie is the best proof."
"Then what will happen when it becomes popular?" Jiang Bei raised his eyebrows and asked.
"But brother, do you think you still have a chance to make a comeback now?" Liangliang asked sharply.
When Jiang Bei heard this, he felt completely discouraged.
yes!
As a director, he now sits in front of the monitor in a daze every day. The actors with superb acting skills, the dialogue-driven script and the single scene make this film require very little control from the director.
To put it more pertinently, as long as there is a script, just a few people with a mobile phone can make this movie.
So if the script cannot be changed, even if he, the director, does nothing, it will not affect the filming of the entire movie.
This damn dialogue-driven script, why did you write it in the first place?
Isn't this just shooting yourself in the foot?
"Brother, as the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. We must learn to bear the humiliation and bear the burden, so that we can make a comeback." Liangliang clenched her little fists and advised heavily.
Jiang Bei thought for a while, nodded slightly and replied: "This is the only way."
Since there is no way to change the script, the only choice is to make a good movie for the time being, to ease the relationship with Li Youqing again, and then look for other things later.
...
The next day.
Following Liangliang's suggestion, Jiangbei stopped staring at the monitor in a daze, and instead took the initiative to communicate with the actors about the script and some problems that the actors had during filming.
Although he deliberately suppressed his own shooting techniques and style, his keen understanding still made everyone's eyes shine.
But what puzzles the actors is why the director suddenly became so active? Doesn't he want to change the script? Why hasn't the plan been implemented after waiting for several days?
There were many actors with such doubts, among them Ji Yingzi was the most anxious. Seeing that the filming process was halfway through, her 100 million investment was likely to be wasted if she did not implement the plan. After thinking about it, she finally couldn't help but take advantage of it.
During a gap, he quietly found Liangliang and asked.
"Liangliang, why hasn't Boss Jiang said that he wants to change the script?"
The gambling king, who was refunding money to his classmates and colleagues, waved his hand and replied: "The plan has been put on hold for the time being."
"Ah? Why?" Ji Yingzi couldn't accept it. She was still waiting for the 100 million capital injection.
Hearing this, Liangliang picked up the phone and shook it, shrugging helplessly and said: "I am also a victim in this matter. I have to return hundreds of orders."
