Chapter 8 The distance between the front stage and the backstage

In two years, Yu Zixin made a breakthrough in Shangcheng.He never thought that he would usher in the spring of his career in a foreign land, and it was a surprise.

They went back to visit their parents' house and heard a lot of nagging. They went to Shangcheng for a trip and found that there were billboards for Zixin all over the street.

Dad solemnly expressed some affirmation, and then added: "You are from Wangdu, so you have to make a name for yourself here."

The mother was more gentle, and brought Zixin's favorite dishes to the table, and kept picking up dishes for him after the meal, feeling distressed: "My son has lost a lot of weight."

After staying at her parents' house obediently for two nights, Yu Zixin felt that she was about to regain the weight she had lost through hard work.

Recently, Lin Weizhou went around to promote movies, and Auntie Cleaning could do things like feeding the fish. Yu Zixin simply stayed at his parents' house for another week, leading a decadent life of opening his mouth for food.

Dad went to bed early, and at night he watched TV dramas with his mother, and by the way gossip about a few industry secrets.

Mom changed the channel to an entertainment news, which happened to be broadcast on the movie box office chart. The literary film that Lin Weizhou was promoting ranked fifth in the total box office, and it had been No. [-] in the art theater for two consecutive weeks.

Yu Zixin couldn't help feeling: "It will be great when my movie can be ranked in the top ten."

My mother turned her head, stroking his hair in disgust: "Your New Year's movie last year did a good box office."

Yu Zixin rolled his eyes: "Mom, I only have one shot, so it doesn't count." He pointed to the trailer on the screen, "But, I'm going to make a movie with him this year."

Mom stared at the TV for a while: "Xiao Lin is a very upbeat kid."

The parents haven't met Lin Weizhou officially, but they don't dislike their son as a boyfriend.Every time this topic is brought up, Yu Zixin always feels uneasy.

He cleared his throat and continued: "He is also acting and You are directing, but I'm curious, he is also starring and directing, can you make it clear."

Mom blinked, picked up the fruit plate on the coffee table, and put it on Yu Zixin's lap: "Eat an orange."

There are many good actors, and there are also many who have the dream of being a director, but not many really have the courage to try to take this step.

Lin Weizhou's popularity and support in the industry are high enough, but even with such a good foundation, many people still don't like his first film as a director across industries.

Originally, he directed and acted in the external publicity, and Yu Zixin thought so too, but when he got the script near the start of filming, he realized that he had become a leading actor from a supporting role since he was a child, and the original leading actor Lin Weizhou had become a secondary actor.

He felt that he didn't have the charisma to play the leading role yet, and wanted to talk to his boyfriend, but Lin Weizhou was so busy that he didn't even have time to go home for dinner.

Casting director Li Ge heard his worries, and smiled on his tired face: "Zixin, the choice of you to play the male lead is not something that Director Lin can decide on his own, the investors still have confidence. "

Yu Zixin still couldn't help beating his heart.He was afraid that he would not perform well and ruin his boyfriend's first work.

On a bright spring morning, "Going to the Meeting Single-handedly" was officially launched.

In a modern business war drama, Yu Zixin plays a small employee who comes from a bitter background, struggles all the way in a big company, turns the tide by all means, and finally succeeds in reaching the pinnacle of life.

Most of the supporting actors have good career experience. For example, Hui Hui, who plays his girlfriend, is a young actress who just won the Best Newcomer Award.

The first scene is the rival scene with Hui Hui, which is not too difficult, and the scene of the two having breakfast together.

Yu Zixin was so nervous that his palms kept sweating, and he couldn't even hold the water glass. He simply said, "Let's celebrate after get off work today", and he stuttered a few times.

Hearing Lin Weizhou call cut for the fifth time, Yu Zixin was extremely depressed, the water glass was not placed firmly, and the orange juice spilled all over the table and onto Hui Hui's clothes.

Lin Weizhou glanced at him and clapped his hands: "Come and help Hui Hui deal with the clothes, let's rest for 5 minutes."

Yu Zixin sat on the chair with his head bowed. Seeing Lin Weizhou approaching from the corner of his eye, he felt that his boyfriend was probably coming to comfort him. He felt so ashamed that he didn't dare to lift his head.

Lin Weizhou's tone was unexpectedly severe: "Yu Zixin, you are also a veteran actor. The first scene was not difficult. What do you mean by acting like this?"

He speaks quite loudly.Yu Zixin felt that the noisy environment around her suddenly became much quieter. It seemed that many people put down what they were doing and began to pay attention to their conversation.

This guy, are you trying to make yourself famous?He felt embarrassed, looked up at Lin Weizhou, and saw that there was no smile on his boyfriend's face, and his heart tightened again. "Nervous."

Lin Weizhou's expression seemed to be more serious: "Why, do you want the whole team to wait for you to recover before starting work?"

Yu Zixin had never seen her boyfriend like this before, so she swallowed unconsciously.He also stood up, feeling that he was several heads shorter than his boyfriend in terms of momentum: "Don't worry, I'm even more nervous if you do this."

Lin Weizhou stared at him for a while, then turned around and shouted to the back: "Where's the make-up? Fix it for him."

Makeup trotted all the way to Yu Zixin, inspected it, and muttered softly: "Brother Yu, you are sweating too much."

Yu Zixin replied angrily: "No, I'm very ashamed."

When the shooting started again, Huihui changed into warm-colored clothes.She glanced at the plane, leaned forward and said, "Yu Zixin, if you're nervous, you can stare at the wall behind my head."

She was kind, but Yu Zixin still felt underestimated.He thanked him, feeling that his inner dissatisfaction overwhelmed his nervousness.

This time it's a pass.He squinted at Lin Weizhou, and found that his boyfriend was not paying attention to him, but was talking to the assistant director.

Immediately after this scene, the time jumped to a few months later, and the props were busy fiddling with various items.

Because there are many lines in this scene, Yu Zixin specially prepared for a long time last night.He was very proud of the fact that every word was correct after one shot.

Listening to Lin Weizhou's voice coming from the loudspeaker: "Huihui is fine, Yu Zixin pays attention to the change of mood, and one more."

Yu Zixin was trapped by an inexplicable stubbornness, staring at the dining table in front of him.He didn't understand what "emotional shift" meant, and he didn't even bother to ask.

The consequence of being stubborn is that I took three or four more pictures, but none of them passed the test.No one yelled cut, but the earphones that were smashed on the ground exposed Lin Weizhou's inner emotions.

Yu Zixin turned his head slightly to observe the other people on the set, and found that everyone was afraid to speak loudly.

Lin Weizhou stood up behind the camera and clapped his hands: "Let's go here first, let's change the game."

baffling.What ailment.What a madness.What to pull.

Yu Zixin stirred the coffee viciously, full of complaints.He decided to go home at night and talk to Lin Weizhou, how could he be so disrespectful in front of so many people.

He turned around holding the coffee cup, and found that Lin Weizhou had just walked into the room, and he didn't show anything special when he saw him.

Yu Zixin pursed her lips, moved closer to her boyfriend, and gave him an elbow: "There's no one else, why are you pretending you're not familiar?"

Lin Weizhou didn't even look at him: "You still have the nerve to talk to me?"

This cold tone and expression made Yu Zixin feel strange.He blinked: "Why did I mess with you?"

Lin Weizhou didn't answer.The dissatisfaction in Yu Zixin's heart came up again, and he knocked the coffee cup on the table: "What do you mean? If you think I can't do it, just say it!"

Lin Weizhou stared at him for a while, then asked: "You don't act well, others can say it, but I can't say it?"

Yu Zixin was so choked that he stared blankly.Before he could figure out how to fight back, Lin Weizhou had already left with his coffee.

On the second day after filming started, the rival scene at the dinner table was re-shot.Yu Zixin sat upright, holding back his stomach.Hui Hui spoke to him, smiling at him from time to time.

Huihui was born in a literary film, and this "Going to the Meeting Single-handedly" can be regarded as her first test of commercial films.It is said that people who make literary films have their nostrils upturned, but Huihui is quite polite.

There was some problem with the lighting, and several lighting engineers fiddled with the equipment.Lin Weizhou sat behind the camera and stared at them, tiredness written all over his face.

Hui Hui yawned, and spoke to Yu Zixin: "It's still not easy to be a director. Look at Lin Weizhou, and you can't sleep well."

Lin Weizhou didn't go home to sleep last night, and he didn't tell Yu Zixin where he slept, so he defaulted that his boyfriend slept on the set.

Huihui then sighed: "At first I thought I could collaborate with him in another film, but when the filming started, he became the director."

Yu Zixin frowned: "So you only recently found out that I'm the lead actor?"

"Isn't it recently?" Hui Hui laughed, "I only found out when I went to the set yesterday. In my script, it was also written that the male lead is Lin Weizhou."

Yu Zixin felt a little guilty, and said with a smile: "That's really cheating you, and you have to take me with such an unscrupulous person."

Huihui stared at him with a meaningful smile on her face: "Don't be humble, he must have confidence in you for agreeing to let you play his role."

In the next few days, Yu Zixin was still being repaired by Lin Weizhou on the set, with a stern attitude as if he was a collaborator who was running in for the first time.

Yu Zixin also thought about it. Maybe it was wrong for him to expect special care. Work is not about dating, and public and private should be clearly distinguished.

It's just that Lin Weizhou didn't go home for a week, which really made him very upset.There's no need to avoid suspicion like this.

In the second week, Sister Yale came to visit the class and had a long secret talk with Director Lin behind closed doors.

Yu Zixin grabbed the agent who was about to leave after visiting the class: "Sister, what are you talking about?"

Hu Yale gave him a blank look: "You shoot your scenes well, don't ask nonsense."

This made Yu Zixin scratch his head even more, wanting to know the content of their conversation.So he was more courteous than usual and sent her all kinds of hypocritical greetings, and finally forced Sister Yale to call him back.

The agent told him that Lin Weizhou was mainly looking for funding issues. Some investors may have heard gossip on the set and felt that the new protagonist was not as popular as Lin Weizhou at the box office, and might even ruin Lin Weizhou's debut. They were worried that there would be no ideal return. Intention to divest.

Yu Zixin felt a chill in his heart.He thought that he had made a name for himself in Shangcheng, but it seemed that he still couldn't get into the eyes of these big crocodiles.

He gave up on himself and said with emotion: "I think their worries are justified. Anyway, it hasn't been long since the filming started, so it's better to change someone to act, and it will save trouble."

Hu Yale scolded him a few words: "You gave up first, thanks to the company's support for you." Then she said that she was here to communicate with Lin Weizhou on behalf of the company. If there is really insufficient funds, the company can make up for the gap.

Yu Zixin expressed his thanks awkwardly, and then felt frustrated: "But Lin Weizhou doesn't like me very much. I won't see it for long, and I will still be replaced."

Hu Yale chuckled twice: "Then you really don't understand him."

Yu Zixin's heart moved: "What do you mean?" Before he could answer, he heard the director call him again through the loudspeaker: "Hurry up, Yu Zixin."

Urging, urging, urging you.Yu Zixin rolled her eyes, told Sister Yale to talk to her next time, then handed the phone to the assistant, stood in her seat, and stared fiercely at the camera.
