Chapter 9: Direct The Play (1)

Song Wenye was standing in an unfamiliar filming set. He was slightly surprised when he heard the sound and saw that the three of them had drifted further and further. For a while, he didn’t know what to say. Because he came in a hurry after the company was busy, he was dressed slightly more formally. He was completely different from the crew who were wearing short sleeves and shorts, and he indeed looked a bit like an actor.

Not long after, Xia Hong also showed up near the restaurant and explained in a familiar manner. “The parking lot in this place is really packed. I have been looking around for a long time…”

Song Wenye glanced at the other side indifferently, and he relentlessly pierced through. “Are you going around the parking lot for an hour?”

“My goodness, the road is too congested! How can an hour be so long. I’m just a little late…” Xia Hong rubbed his head wryly, and said arrogantly, “Besides, you are not a little girl, and there is no danger if you wait for a moment!”

Song Wenye thought about what happened just now. His eyes flashed slightly, and he stopped talking: “…that’s not so sure.”

Xia Hong looked at his boring friend, he suddenly couldn’t figure it out. “?” What does this mean? Boys shouldn’t pay attention to safety when they go out?

Xia Hong surrendered. “All right, all right, let’s hurry up, I will take you to see Chu Xiaxing…”

Song Wenye replied. “I seem to have seen her just now.” His face remembering ability was always so good. Although he hadn’t met the real person before, he had seen the photos from some time ago.

Xia Hong was quite surprised. “You met her? When? Did she talk to you about the contract? Do you think she speaks like my dad?”

Song Wenye recalled the hooligan whistle just now. He really couldn’t describe the encounter and just categorically said. “It didn’t look like it.”

Xia Hong was shocked. “How could it be different, take a look at that bearing…”

Song Wenye said decisively, “It’s not like that at all. She’s a bit rebellious.” He felt that the other party was completely different from what Xia Hong said. Chu Xiaxing and Uncle Xia were not similar at all, but she was a little bit rebellious.

Xia Hong was confused, “???”

In Xia Hong’s eyes, Chu Xiaxing spoke with an old-fashioned and strong aura, and she occasionally showed the same expression and tone as the elders. However, Song Wenye insisted that she was a rebellious adolescent girl who went astray, so she fought with the director in the crew and caused some minor troubles.

Xia Hong didn’t know how the two met. He heard Song Wenye’s opinion and said in disbelief, “You are simply outrageous, making trouble when you want to get rid of the director, then why don’t you make trouble with the eldest son of the rich family? You think that the two of you in the company can make such troubles?”

Song Wenye calmly said, “Yes, I think so, but he doesn’t seem to think so.”

Xia Hong replied, “…” Nonsense, you are going to blow the other person’s head!

Xia Hong really couldn’t argue with his cruel friend, so he could only take Song Wenye to the crew. Because Song Wenye had never appeared on the crew, no one knew his identity. Most people greeted Xia Hong politely, without knowing how to call the unfamiliar Song Wenye.

Song Wenye didn’t go to see Chu Xiaxing right away. He first followed Xia Hong to understand the ins and outs of things, and then listened to the director and Chu Xiaxing’s comments in the crew and collected information around him.

Director Wang now saw Xia Hong. He immediately put on another face and said helplessly, “Mr. Xia, I know that Director Chu may have a little friction with me during shooting, but I also want to ensure the quality of the film and strive for perfection. I can’t just pat things to fool you…”

“It’s not that I have never seen an actor with a temper, but who would come up and say they would be a director? What is this matter called? How do you shoot this scene?” Director Wang was quite arrogant in the crew but changed his attitude when he saw Xia Song, which could be called a Si Chuan Opera turnaround, resorting to a trick to advance.

Director Wang refused to mention his own affairs but painted Chu Xiaxing with jealousy, saying that she didn’t like the show and she had a heart higher than the sky, annoying the whole crew.

Chu Xiaxing did say these things, thinking that this drama was such trash, which let Director Wang do some artistic processing. Her arrogant, rebellious, and outrageous persona really stood out, as if she just had a gold master and didn’t know how high the world was.

After Director Wang left, Xia Hong only felt that his head was buzzing. He was like a class teacher listening to students’ complaints. He said helplessly, “President Song, what do you think?”

Although Xia Hong was a producer in the eyes of outsiders, he knew that he didn’t make any decisions.

Song Wenye sat beside him and listened for a long time. He thought for a while and suggested, “You can ask a few more people. Hearing what he said is meaningless. He expresses emotions, so there is no rational conveyance.”

Song Wenye heard that Director Wang slandered Chu Xiaxing, but the other party never mentioned the project and felt that this person was not very reliable. This was not like a leader who took the lead in doing things, feeling patronizing to eliminate dissidents, and could not say the point after a long speech.

After a while, the director of photography and others were also asked. The director of photography saw that there were only Xia Hong and Song Wenye in the room. He carefully looked around and whispered, “Hello, President Xia, I will not hide from you. In fact, the director you are looking for is really so interesting…”

“Let me tell you the truth, some people claim to be directors, but they are some old fritters from the general mixed crew. The resume looks very good, and the words are pretty, but they can’t shoot anything…” The director of photography laughed and said, “I have seen too many directors of this kind, and the water in the main circle is also deep, so it is really not easy to distinguish them.”

“He took the money and left after the filming, but it is hard to tell whether this scene is good or not. When you fail at your job, people will run away long ago. It stands to reason that I shouldn’t have smashed people’s jobs, but I can’t watch you fall into the pit, right?”

The words of the director of photography sounded like a heart to heart, he showed a sincere attitude for Xia Hong’s sake, and also especially wooed his feelings, but unceremoniously sold Director Wang!

The people in the crew were all human beings. They were polite on the outside but actually had their own calculations. Changing the director would not affect the income of the photography team. The director of photography naturally destroyed Director Wang’s accusation. If he wanted to obtain follow-up cooperation with Xia Hong, the producer could decide on the creative team!

In the lounge, assistant Li Jing looked around in the corridor, and she came back worriedly to inform her, “They all went in and talked in turn. Will they deliberately discredit you…”
