Huayu: From an ordinary person to a happy director

Chapter 9 Dong Xuan takes the initiative
Dong Xuan came here on her own initiative. When Shi Lei invited her to the Venice Film Festival, she had an idea.

Her role was a supporting one with few lines, the kind that could be played by anyone else. She also didn't know about the things between Zhang Songwen and Zhou Xun. After analyzing it, she thought that Shi Lei wanted to take advantage of her.

Shi Lei also has the qualifications and was shortlisted for the three main competition units, beating 99 percent of the directors in the country.

In addition, walking the red carpet in Venice will have a huge impact on her future development. Many actresses don’t even have the opportunity to walk the three major red carpets.

She was mentally prepared when she agreed to Shi Lei.

But for some reason, Shi Lei didn't attack her, nor did he give any hints.

Before winning the award, she thought Shi Lei was fully focused on the film festival and had no time to do anything fancy.

As a result, Shi Lei finished selling the film and prepared to go back, without giving her any hint.

This made her unable to sit still. Now that Shi Lei had won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival, he was a gold brick in the eyes of all the actresses. If she didn't seize the opportunity right next to him, would she leave the chance to some slutty bitch in China?
This is not possible!

So she came over in a low-cut black dress.

She was seen by her fellow travelers on the way, but she walked with firm steps and showed no sign of shying away.

Shi Lei opened the door and his eyes stayed on Dong Xuan's face for a while. His gaze was attracted by the V-neck. He followed the V-neck gradually downwards and saw a large area of ​​snow-white and even more attractive cleavage.

He quickly raised his head. He knew what Dong Xuan meant by her coming to see him dressed like this at this time, but this was the door and it was not good to stare at her like that.

"Director Shi, can I come in and sit down?"

Shi Lei retracted his gaze, couldn't help but smile, and nodded: "Of course."

He lived his life again just to do whatever he wanted.

In addition to making money, becoming famous, and becoming a capitalist, the purpose of entering the entertainment industry is to have friendly exchanges with major female stars.

Dong Xuan stepped in, and Shi Lei closed the door and locked it.

Now that he has entered the door, he is not Liuxia Hui, nor does he want to be Liuxia Hui.

In ancient times, Liuxia Hui was a commendatory word, but in modern times!

Not only men curse, women curse too.

If a girl comes into your room late at night because she is ready, and you do nothing, of course you will scold her...

So Shi Lei didn't act pretentiously.

Of course, he still had to maintain his proper demeanor. Shi Lei first talked to Dong Xuan about her ideals in life. When the time was almost up, he said insincerely, "It's getting late. Do you want to go back?"

Dong Xuan's ears flushed and she lowered her head. This was her first time. Although she had prepared herself mentally, she still blushed when Shi Lei asked her about it.

"...No...go back..." The voice was so soft that if Shi Lei hadn't been paying close attention, he would have almost not heard it.

"Okay, let's go take a shower together." Shi Lei stood up and invited.

"I... I've already rushed through." Dong Xuan raised her voice a little.

"That's fine. You wait here for me."

A few minutes later, Shi Lei came out wearing a bathrobe.

Dong Xuan was still sitting quietly beside the bed. Shi Lei walked over slowly and admired Dong Xuan's beauty.

I reached out and touched her pretty face, which was full of collagen, tender and comfortable to the touch. My hand slid down from her snow-white neck...

Dong Xuan's delicate body trembled slightly, then she took the initiative to move closer, blocking Shi Lei. She grabbed Shi Lei's hand with her left hand to let Shi Lei continue to move down, and her right hand also became dishonest.

It is tender, sweet and lively in the mouth.

……

Less than a minute, normal, more than thirty minutes.

Shi Lei was very satisfied with this result. For a time traveler to enter the entertainment industry and become a director, a strong body is a must. He has been actively exercising whenever he has free time in the past four years. He has developed eight abdominal muscles and well-proportioned muscles all over his body. He looks thin when dressed and muscular when undressed.

He believed that thirty minutes was not his limit!
The next day, the crew boarded a plane back home.

……

As soon as he got off the plane, others praised Shi Lei again.

A group of newspaper reporters who had found out Shi Lei's flight schedule through various connections were already standing at the airport exit waiting for him.

As soon as Shi Lei and others appeared, people rushed over.

"Shi Lei, what made you want to make a movie in your junior year?"

Of course it’s because of years of preparation!
"I am a child from the countryside. When I was young, there was no TV at home, so I had to go to other people's homes to watch TV. At that time, I vowed that I would watch as much as I could when I grew up."

"Later, we got a black-and-white TV at home, and I couldn't wait to sit in front of it all day."

"Unfortunately, we were poor at that time. In order to save electricity, my parents didn't allow me to watch it all day. I could only watch it at night."

"After I entered high school, my family bought a third-hand color TV. Although I had to tap the screen from time to time to keep it normal, it didn't stop me from getting addicted to it. I sat in front of the TV all day, immersed in the world of TV, becoming a martial arts hero, an anti-Japanese hero, or a big boss..."

"Of course, these can only be called dreams, or fantasies, but gradually, an idea came to me, that is, to shoot TV series and movies by myself and create my own fantasy world, and then I signed up for the directing department of Beijing Film Academy."

"As I watch more movies, what I want to make most now are fantasy movies and science fiction movies. The Legend of Zu and The Matrix have had a great influence on me."

"Science fiction movie? When will Director Shi plan to shoot a science fiction movie?" a reporter asked.

"I have prepared the script, but my directing skills are not that good right now. I need to continue to hone and improve. The next movie I will shoot is a martial arts film."

Some people said that the director's skills were not good enough, and everyone thought that this was Shi Lei being modest. A director who won the Silver Lion Award said that his skills were not good enough, which made those directors who had never won an award feel embarrassed.

"A martial arts film? Who are you going to ask to perform in it?" A reporter was successfully led astray and started asking Shi Lei questions about the new movie.

"We will find an international actor to play the leading role." Although the word "international" has a lot of water in it, the leading role is indeed an international actor, and people in many countries have seen his performance.

The reason why it is international is that starting from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", martial arts movies have had a certain market in North America in the following years.

Compared with other domestic directors who are half-understood, he knows clearly why martial arts films have a market.

Foreigners watch martial arts films as fantasy or science fiction films. They watch the exciting fights, the protagonists jumping up and down, and the clanking of weapons.

In its previous life, "The Banquet" sold a lot of film copyrights with just a fighting trailer, earning more than 100 million yuan, which has already paid back the investment, and the domestic box office is pure profit.

It’s just that “The Banquet” really screwed over foreign companies and made them wary.

"The Banquet" is really a rip-off. Only the beginning of the whole film is worth watching, and after that, the only part worth watching is the conscience of the female characters.
