Rebirth Bias

Bang, the door of the conference room was pushed open, Xu Shu had long lost his usual chatter and laughter, walked in angrily, and slapped the script in front of Lu Ne, "What does this mean? Why did you change the script to so?"

In the conference room, the main creators of "Killing Ring" were sitting. This was Lu Ne's first meeting after taking over the filming of the film. At this moment, everyone was watching in silence, and no one said a word.

Lu Na was not angry, and said calmly: "I don't think Mr. Xu's script is very suitable, so I changed it to the original one. Not only the script needs to be changed, but everyone present today will also change their working methods in the future. None of the cameras can be used." As soon as Lu Ne finished speaking, there was a burst of whispering in the conference room, and everyone was at a loss, puzzled, and puzzled.

"Your method is not advisable at all. Don't forget that you were invited by the company to replace my father. Your task is to make a good film and continue my father's film style. This is not a place for you to play maverick and individuality."

Lu Ne frowned, stared at Xu Shu, and said word by word: "I respect Mr. Xu, but I think the original script is more powerful and better."

Xu Shu's complexion changed, "Why do you think that you really take yourself seriously after making two films? I have been following this film since the crew was formed, and I know what my dad wants best. "

Lu Ne's eyes became sharper, "It's not for nothing, just because I am the director, this is my movie, I have the final say!"

Xu Shu stared at Lu Ne bitterly, "In that case, I'll leave the film crew and I'll see how you end up." After speaking, he slammed the door and left.

There was a silence of more than ten seconds in the room. Lu Ne's eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces, and said, "Time is limited, and the new script has been sent to everyone. If you have any questions, you can call me directly." Contact. I know that you are all old people in this circle. Everyone understands the rules. It may be difficult for you to adapt to my work style immediately, but I also tell you clearly that I am like this, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, if you can’t do what I want, you can leave.”

Lu Ne hadn't walked out of Xinxing's building when Yao Litian's call came, and the man's voice, which was always serious and upright, was a little annoyed, "What's going on, the filming hasn't started yet, you're at odds with the assistant director , It's another thing to spread to the ears of the media."

Lu Ne was also a little annoyed, the autumn weather was already a bit cold, he was still wearing only a thin T-shirt, and while starting the car, he said: "There is no such thing as discord, the problem itself exists, and it will be exposed sooner rather than later." It’s better to come out, to make clear your position at the beginning, than to make a fuss later.”

"Anyway, this time I persuaded him to come down first—you should also know that the company has its own considerations for keeping Xu Shu. The company already has some opinions on you, and Xu Yongyu has been replaced. His son can no longer be Kick it off, it's too unkind, and it will also affect the company's reputation."

Yao Litian persuaded Lu Na a few more words, then hung up the phone.Lu Na was a little irritable, he didn't think Xu Shu could give up easily.Xu Shu's personality looks modest, but in fact he is arrogant. The son of a famous director, he was given the green light in all aspects as soon as he made his debut. He was praised everywhere he went, and he hardly suffered setbacks. After filming the movie "Killing, Caution", he took off the hat of Xu Yongyu's son and seemed to be full of confidence, but it was no wonder that he could swallow his breath when Lu Ne stepped in.

When I got home, I threw the keys on the porch cabinet and threw myself on the sofa so I didn’t remember much. I was really tired. Taking on the filming of "Killing Ring" felt like an away game. The whole crew was Xu Yongyu’s in name In fact, it was established by Xu Shu alone. Lu Na, the airborne force, is really a bit weak.

Lie on the sofa for a while, almost fell asleep, but managed to get up, rubbed my face hard to wake myself up, opened the script, took the storyboard paper, and scribbled and changed it Shots, in fact, after deciding to shoot "Killing Caution", Lu Ne already had a basic visual picture of the shot in his mind, but his mind is turning quickly. If he is like this today, he will have new ideas tomorrow. Until the moment before shooting, the photographer still doesn't know what the director wants.It was almost two o'clock when Lu Ne washed his face indiscriminately and fell asleep.

As soon as I opened my eyes the next day, I was informed of a not-so-pleasant news - Zhuang Tao, the leading actor of "Killing and Ringing", might be leaving the crew.

Zhuang Tao is considered a big name in the film industry. He is less than 40 years old and has already won two Golden Oak Awards. He is of medium build and not particularly good-looking. In fact, he has never created a character with a distinctive personality. The rare light and shadow of a gentleman in the [-]s and [-]s is like lukewarm water, melancholy, ambiguous, and sinking, but it is such a character that is not salty, not bland, or sour, which fascinates many people.

An actor like Zhuang Tao is the actor that every director dreams of.Xu Yongyu was hospitalized suddenly, and the crew was forced to suspend work. Zhuang Tao waited for three months until Lu Ne took over, thinking that it would be finished soon, but Lu Ne said that he would start over. The play schedule crashed.Zhuang Tao is well-known in the industry for his dedication, and he has no objection to Lu Ne's request, but he really doesn't have time now. If he continues to take over, then the crew must wait for him for three months, and he will have time after three months time.

Lu Ne can't wait for three months, but if Zhuang Tao is replaced, how many people in the country are qualified to take over from Zhuang Tao?Moreover, the filming here, the crew did not have much money left.Lu Na was one head and two big, and Xu Shu watched coldly.

The production crew restarted the machine without even knowing the leading actor, filming some less important scenes first, while taking the time to contact other actors.

This day, a scene in which the heroine kills a fish was being filmed, and the assistant Xiao Yang trotted to Lu Ne's side, bent down and whispered in Lu Ne's ear, "Director, Xu Yongyu is here."

Lu Na was taken aback, and quickly stood up, and the people around him couldn't help following when they saw the director walking out—Xu Yongyu was sitting in a wheelchair, and he was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, compared to when Lu Ne saw him last time. He was even older, his cheeks were as rugged as wind and rain, and behind him was his son Xu Shu who was pushing a wheelchair.

Lu Na took a few steps, bent down and said, "Why is Mr. Xu here?"

Xu Shu raised his eyelids and replied calmly, "Father wants to see his last movie."

Lu Na shut his mouth and didn't say anything more.Xu Shu pushed Xu Yongyu's wheelchair into the set, and the staff on the set stopped their work one after another, gathered around to say hello.Xu Yongyu's cloudy eyeballs moved, and he raised his hand with difficulty and waved, "Go...go to work...work—" He turned his head to Lu Ne as he spoke, and waved again, "Go...go -"

Lu Ne felt a little uncomfortable, turned around and clapped his hands, "Okay, it's time to start work, hurry up and get ready for the next one."

This is an indoor scene. The husband is reading the newspaper in the living room, and the wife is cooking in the kitchen. A couple, there is no communication during the whole process, only the sound of a kitchen knife chopping fish. The passion before marriage has long been annihilated in the trivial and mediocre. Itching, each had an affair, and the marriage seemed to be in harmony.

The wife killed the fish neatly, slapping the head of the fish with a knife, and the fish, which was still alive and kicking on the chopping board, instantly stopped moving, just like her stagnant married life.At this time, she seemed to think of something, looking at the dead fish on the chopping board, her eyes were numb with a faint light.Hearing the annoying sound of chopping knives in the kitchen, the husband turned another page of the newspaper.Each other has their own ghosts, and they all have murderous intentions.This is an extremely everyday scene, but the undercurrent is turbulent, murderous and treacherous, full of tension.It is a test of the heroine's acting skills.

The actress who plays the heroine is also an old actor who has debuted for many years. Her name is Zhong Ling. It is probably the first time to kill a fish. The knife board did not hit the head of the fish, but the tail of the fish. The fish jumped up and fell to his instep. She was so scared that she almost threw the kitchen knife out of her hand.Lu Na pulled his face down on the spot and asked Zhong Ling to take a whole bucket of fish to the side to practice killing fish, and shoot other people's scenes first.

It was the last day to film Zhong Ling's scene. A woman who was elegant and delicate at first started to kill the fish, her eyelids drooped, but her eyes did not fall on the fish. Her mind was far away, and she didn't know what she was thinking. But it is so clean and tidy that it makes people feel frightened, and the expressionless look does not seem to be killing fish, but killing people.

Xu Yongyu didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, his cloudy eyes seemed to be shining brightly again at that moment, but soon dimmed again, he stared at the afterglow of the sunset in the distance as if in a daze, as if he was looking at his own life.After a while, he turned the wheelchair with difficulty and walked slowly outside the studio.Xu Shu came to his senses and hurried to catch up, "Dad—"

Lu Na looked at the old man's back and left, unable to tell what it was like in his heart.Assistant Xiao Yang came over with Lu Ne's cell phone in his hand, "Director, your phone has rang several times."

Lu Na took it over and saw that it was Su Er.

Su Er probably made several phone calls, but he didn't answer, so his tone was a bit bad.Lu Ne explained, "Busy, what's the matter?"

"Jing Cuixuan tonight, come over for dinner, Luo San and the others are here."

"I'm so busy that I don't know how to separate myself, I wish I had three heads and six arms, so I won't go, you can go by yourself."

Su Er didn't say anything, probably upset.Lu Ne rubbed the space between his brows, "All right, ancestor, I'll go, I guess it will be later, you don't have to wait for me."
