my wife is a showman

Chapter 244 Let's Take a Sneaky Look

At seven o'clock in the morning, Xu Lang and Zhou Qiong woke up all the actresses when they came back from running training.

Today we are going to shoot a few amazing scenes. Every year when bayberry is ripe, the three sisters pick bayberry to make wine according to the habit passed down by their grandmother in previous years.

The sense of ritual to commemorate loved ones has gradually disappeared in the fast-paced life.

Xu Lang wants to remind the audience through these exquisite shots.

People are not gone when they die, they should always live in the hearts of their loved ones.

They have been to this world once, and the descendants are the footprints left by the ancestors in this world.

Those who have sustenance in their hearts will not be kidnapped by impetuous life, have more peace, and less pain and anxiety.

These few days when Xu Lang went to Cannes, the main job of the female stars was to learn how to make wine from the old grandmother in the village.

Xu Lang conceived a very amazing plot, spent a lot of thought, was quite excited, and couldn't wait to see the effect.

Filming is very piecemeal and repeated, which is completely different from watching a film. It is like building a rough house, and it can be dedicated to the audience after decoration. It is very rare to maintain the creative passion.

Xu Lang had a casual bite, then went to the shooting location to choose a camera location, and communicated with the crew about lens lighting and the like. He took the walkie-talkie and said:
"I'll give everyone 15 minutes to come here immediately. It's already 07:30, so sleep in every day."

Tang Wei was okay, after all, married women didn't have much time to sleep in.

Zhang Yinxue and Lin Yun complained a lot, and they started putting on makeup before they had time to eat breakfast.

"Director Xu is still human, he wakes up so early every day for a run."

"You guys slept an extra hour. I woke up at 05:30 this morning when I was spanked by a slipper."

Tang Wei's jaw dropped in shock, "Why didn't you lock the door?"

The makeup artist was really doing Lin Yun's hair. She said, "Director Xu said last night that the door is not allowed to be closed, so as not to knock on the door and disturb others' rest."

"This is too overbearing."

As Zhang Yinxue spoke, she subconsciously looked at Zhou Qiong's tight buttocks.

Doesn't Director Xu know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and he is willing to do it.

"I can't help it. Director Xu said he wanted to make me a powerful idol like Tang Sinuo. Chen Ge was able to be what he is today because he was inspired by him," Zhou Qiong said.

"He is so kind to you." Zhang Yinxue said enviously.

"By the way, did you get up so early, did you trim your toenails?" Lin Yun asked.

"Oh, luckily you reminded me."

"Hurry up, time is running out."

Zhou Qiong trimmed her toenails in a panic, and complained, "What is Director Xu doing? Why do you want to cut your toenails?"

"I don't know, let's go first."

"Wait for me."

There is only 1 minute left for Zhou Qiong to take care of her toenails.

The four women rushed to the shooting scene. On the country road, panting, screaming and laughing, they became a beautiful scenery in the quiet fishing village in the morning.

Wherever it passed, the aroma scattered, causing the villagers to salivate.

This group of female stars really feasted the eyes of the nearby male villagers, who got up at six o'clock every day and squatted on the side of the road waiting.

Many people even bought binoculars, lying on trees, or standing on the roof of the building, all kinds of peeps, and the village committee came out every night to inspect and arrest people.

Holding slippers in his hand, Xu Lang sat on the director's chair and said, "Starting tomorrow, dinner will start at seven o'clock on time, work will start at 07:30, and everyone will go to bed early at night."

Tang Wei was about to retort that these girls were all night owls and couldn't fall asleep before one or two o'clock.

But looking at the slippers in Xu Lang's hand, he felt a little bit cowardly. Xu Lang was so daring and reckless, what if he rushed over and spanked him, he was no longer a little girl, so he swallowed the words again after thinking about it.

"Have you read the script by heart these few days?" Xu Lang asked.

"Okay, read it well, director."

The four girls replied in unison.

Without the agent acting as a demon, the actress becomes well-behaved and cute, and even becomes more outstanding.

Xu Lang is not used to big names, this is what he said when he was casting, don't take the role if you don't like it.

That’s why he doesn’t like the high-status veterans of Jingzhou. Movies are the art of directors. What an actor needs to do is to fully understand the role and the director’s intentions. He doesn’t need to add his own things without permission. This is called plasticity.

Even the protagonist is just the tip of the iceberg in the movie.

"Okay, let's shoot the first hair washing scene. Tang Wei immediately changed into her pajamas, stretched from the house to the yard, Zhou Qiong washed her hair under the bayberry tree, and her movements were more natural and delicate."

The staff had already prepared a pot of warm water and put it there, steaming hot.

Zhou Qiong smelled the hand where she had cut her toenails just now. She hadn't had time to wash it yet, but there was nothing she could do.

"Is everything okay?" Xu Lang asked.

"Okay, director."

"let's start……"

This scene mainly shoots the beauty of the girl, and the close-up parts chosen by Xu Lang are Zhou Qiong's neck and ears.

The white, tender and delicate skin is covered with drops of water, which are crystal clear under the sun's rays, and are still steaming.

"Ka, Zhou Qiong, why are you washing your hair so hard? How long has it been since you washed your hair, please be gentle?"

"Do it again, add some hot water to the basin, it must be steaming, Tang Wei is in place, Zhou Qiong rolls up her sleeves, the red hairband is exposed, and some water is on her wrist."

"Got it, Director."

This beautiful spot on the wrist was inspired by Xu Lang when he saw Wang Yitian deal the cards when he was playing cards.

No wonder great artists throughout the ages are madly in love with beautiful women. As long as they are good at discovering beauty, this kind of creature is really mouth-watering.

"start……"

Tang Wei with loose hair, yawning, wearing a nightgown, barefoot, came out of the house, stood with her hips akimbo at the door, looking at the girl washing her hair in the yard with a complicated expression.

The three sisters depended on their grandmother, and the father's love they longed for was given by this strange girl who came to take refuge. Jealousy was inevitable.

Zhou Qiong squatted on the ground, washing her hair gracefully.

She squinted her eyes and couldn't touch the kettle for a long time. Tang Wei walked over to add hot water for her.

Teacher Gui stood behind Xu Lang, watching the close-up, with a smile on his face unconsciously.

"It's nice to be young, we all washed our hair like this back then."

"Mr. Gui, what do you think?"

"It's really good. You are very suitable for this kind of life film. You have the style of director Ang Lee. Whether it is cooking or daily details, you are full of smoke and fire, lively and fragrant."

"The word vivid and fragrant is too precise."

This is the essence of this play, using the beauty in life to resolve the sadness and regret, separation and death in life.

"Crack, good, next shot."

A Mercedes-Benz stopped on the side of the road not far away, and two people got out of the back seat.

One of them has a famous name, with long gray hair and a black beret.

He pulled up the mask on his chin, and said in a pretty good Hong Kong voice: "Wow, I started working so early."

"Boss, I'll go over and say hello to Mr. Xu."

"No need, they are filming, let's take a look secretly."

"That's not good."

"Apologize to others later, I came here specially to investigate him."

As soon as the two walked up the steps, the assistant director Shi Jin spotted him. He stared wide-eyed, thinking he had misread.

"Xing... Xing... Grandpa..."

"Hush, can I take a look?" Master Xing asked in a low voice.

"Okay, that's great."
