247【From Actor to Director】

In his previous life, Zhou Xingchi and Li Lizhi met in Weishi. At that time, Zhou Xingchi was an unattended supporting actor, while Li Lizhi was a new TV director. Both of them like to fantasize about some fantasy scenes that made them good friends. So much so that after Zhou Xingchi became famous, he did not forget to support Li Lizhi.

During the 13 years since the two worked together, they have made many popular movies: "The Saint of Love", "One Dragon of Fortune", "Domestic Lingling Paint", "The King of Comedy", "God of Cooking", "Tang Bohu's Fragrance", "The King of Destruction", etc.

However, the good friends disagree in the movie "Shaolin Football" and parted ways after filming.

"Shaolin Football" can be said to be Zhou Xingchi's life and death work. He had just come out to establish his own film company.

In the past, Zhou Xingchi was a worker, and the boss of the employee who could make money would definitely love him; when Zhou Xingchi became a competitor, the old employers jumped out to criticize him.

It was also the trough period of Hong Kong movies. If "Shaolin Football" had not been filmed well, Zhou Xingchi might have really become a salted fish and could not turn over.

Therefore, Zhou Xingchi attached great importance to this movie, and his harshness reached the highest level. He even threw away all the clips that Li Lichi had made, "not enough jokes" and reshooted them himself, which made Li Lichi, the director, very embarrassed. From then on, the two of them had broken up.

However, now, due to the appearance of Song Zhichao, the "butterfly", Zhou Xingchi's wings inadvertently flapped his wings, which made Zhou Xingchi's pace faster on the road to becoming a director; and the "harmonious relationship" between Zhou Xingchi and Li Lichi has also begun to break down because of Li Lichi's seizure of power at this moment.

But no matter what, Cai Lan, as the producer, boldly launched Zhou Xingchi as the temporary director of the finale of "God of Cookery", and was surprised to everyone. Zhou Xingchi also became hesitant from the beginning to the beginning when he became excited.

As the saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.

Similarly, an actor who doesn’t want to be a director is definitely not a good actor.

Zhou Xingchi was born with a terrible and had many ideas and ideas. Since the filming of the "God of Cookery", he has been slugging out a lot of ideas and plots in front of Li Lichi, and it is not wrong to say that he is half of the director of this drama.

Now, if you have the opportunity to really try to be a director, Zhou Xingchi feels a little sorry for Li Lichi, but he is also a little excited. After all, he has had such a dream, taking charge of the director, and the entire audience is obeying his command. It feels so majestic and cool.

Although everyone at the scene was very suspicious of Zhou Xingchi's directing ability, with the support of the producer Cai Lan, the others had nothing to say. After all, he was just working, and people like Wu Mengda, Luo Jiaying, and Liu Yida didn't say anything, so why should he force himself to stand up?

In fact, the reason why Cai Lan suddenly promoted Zhou Xingchi to direct the final film at this time was not because he had a whim or was dissatisfied with Li Li and wanted to take away his power. It was because Cai Lan discovered that Zhou Xingchi was the real soul of the play, whether in or outside the play.

By chance, Cai Lan saw Zhou Xingchi talking to Li Lichi about a scene of filming "God of Cookery". She argued with reason and said that she should shoot it and it would be better.

Cai Lan listened on the side and felt that what Zhou Xingchi said was very reasonable.

It would be fine once, but during the filming period, Cai Lan encountered such a situation without ten or eight times, and every time Zhou Xingchi's suggestions and ideas made Cai Lan, the producer, feel a stunning feeling.

It would be fine if Li Lichi could all accept Zhou Xingchi's ideas with humility, but in order to maintain his director's authority, Cai Lan found that Li Lizheng had deliberately PASS Zhou Xingchi's "ideas" several times.

The authorities were confused and bystanders were clear, and Cai Lan saw it clearly, and Li Lichi's mind was a little narrow.

Now, the finale of "God of Cookery" is crucial. Zhou Xingchi mentioned one or two very fresh ideas, such as the "Sad" fried rice designed by Zhou Xingchi. At first, Li Lichi despised this idea and rejected this idea. However, after a trial filming, Li Lichi immediately changed the direction and began to "respect" Zhou Xingchi's ideas. He even directly regarded it as his "idea" and showed it in front of Cai Lan, saying that it took him many days and nights to think about it. This made Cai Lan, who knew the truth, feel a little unhappy. In life, you must know the right measure.

Of course, none of the above are actually the main reasons why Cai Lan promoted Zhou Xingchi to be the director of the final drama.

The main reason is that Song Zhichao is making trouble later.

As the boss of the "Phantom World" film company and an investor in the drama "God of Cookery". Song Zhichao once interviewed Cai Lan several times on the excuse of "drinking tea". At the beginning, the content of the conversation was nothing more than the food theme that Cai Lan liked. Later, it involved the drama "God of Cookery", and later it mentioned Zhou Xingchi.

What makes Cai Lan incredible is that Song Zhichao seems to have a very good understanding of Zhou Xingchi. This understanding is not about reading gossip news or gossip news, and then understanding Zhou Xingchi, but about Zhou Xingchi from the bottom of his heart.

To be precise, Song Zhichao stripped Zhou Xingchi and placed his bones in front of Cai Lan, telling Cai Lan that this Xingzai is not only a super-professional comedian, but also a super-excellent director.

Cai Lan was surprised and didn't understand why Song Zhichao said that and why he valued Zhou Xingchi so much.

Song Zhichao explained to him that you can know by observing it carefully. So Cai Lan's attention to Zhou Xingchi, and she has a new understanding of Zhou Xingchi, and she is so bold to use Zhou Xingchi as the director of the final filming scene.

...

The final filming of "God of Cookery" has finally started.

At this time, Zhou Xingchi, who was first in charge of the guide, eliminated the initial little nervousness and lost the nonsensical appearance in the play. Instead, he had a serious expression, like a general in charge of the army. He raised the camera and shouted: "The last scene of "God of Cookery", everyone is ready - Aikesh!"

The scene record of the decision was in charge of making the plan, and the board was shot with a snap!

The lens begins to focus, the camera begins to operate—

Without obstruction from others and the grudges of communication, Zhou Xingchi can realize his inner thoughts and shoot them as he pleases.

Seeing that the director of Zhou Xingchi is becoming more and more proficient and more convenient, he can actually use the limited space and resources he already has to shoot this "God of Food War" scene so grandly and exciting. Li Lichi was surprised, and there was even an indescribable feeling... Is that admiration or... jealousy?

"CUT!" Just as Li Lizhi was thinking, he suddenly heard a loud shout. Zhou Xingchi raised his horn and shouted loudly: "I announce that "God of Cookery" - the filming is completed!"

After a brief pause, the crew burst into cheers with a loud bang.

Thank you day and night, and look forward to it day and night!

Hard work and fatigue!

Sweat and hard work!

The "God of Cookery" created by everyone side by side is finally completed at this moment!

What does this feel like?
Chapter completed!
