Chapter 36:

After Hou Shenyue received the news, he was very confused. He hesitated to look at Chu Xiaxing, who was calm, and then secretly glanced at Han Chuning, who looked upset in the corner, not knowing what to do.
Han Chuning usually has a good temper, but she can't stand other people's disobedience and slander. When Chu Xiaxing was reborn, she called her niece, which was also regarded as an excessive prank by Han Chuning. If the two sides had not successfully recognized each other, she would have to bear the anger of Han Chuning.
Chu Xiaxing has no children. She regards Han Chuning as her own child, and even as a direct disciple. Although the two work positions are different, they have the same idea of ​​artistic creation, and at least they brought them together.
Hou Shenyue's words and deeds are no less than minefield jump di to Han Chuning!
Han Chuning saw that Hou Shenyue was like an elm head, she edited the message impatiently and continued to send a warning to the other party. Because she couldn't directly expose Chu Xiaxing's identity, she could only reveal some relationship in a subtle and subtle way.
[This is my aunt! This is the sister my mother recognizes! ]
[You are gone. ]
Hou Shenyue saw that Han Chuning started to end with a full stop, and he glanced at Chu Xiaxing, who was expressionless, and suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem: "..."
Hou Shenyue: Accidentally bumping into a friend's elders, the scene was very embarrassing at one time, why is the other party so old?
Hou Shenyue now has paste in his head, and he doesn't know how to remedy it. In fact, he was very polite when he first saw Chu Xiaxing, and he just retorted a few words rather displeasedly, but getting along with people is so delicate, as long as there is a slight crack, it is difficult to make up later.
Wang Fengtian discovered that Hou Shenyue suddenly became polite to Chu Xiaxing again, and even became a little more cautious than when he first met. He couldn't help but wonder: "What does this mean?"
Wang Fengtian: Now young actors will change their faces?
Seeing the eyebrows of the two children, Chu Xiaxing had already speculated in her heart, and said lightly: "Teacher Wang, you should let him act in a schizophrenic scene."
Chu Xiaxing was originally indifferent to Hou Shenyue. After all, to weigh whether the lead actor can drive the box office, that is what Wang Fengtian should worry about. She only needs to direct the show, regardless of who the lead actor is. However, she is now carefully looking at Hou Shenyue, her eyes suddenly become critical. She originally thought that the other party's conditions were okay, but now she feels almost meaningless.
Chu Xiaxing: After all, Ningning is the most well-behaved and clever child in the world, and where did he come out of a crooked way! ?
Chu Xiaxing's gaze suddenly became cold and serious. She seriously considered the various conditions of a young actor, and her sharp gaze quickly scraped Hou Shen.
Hou Shenyue was sitting on pins and needles under Director Chu's sight. He maintained an awkward but polite smile throughout the entire process, and he dared not move.
After the meeting, Han Chuning planned to come forward to ease the relationship between the two parties, and then let Hou Shenyue come over and apologize to the aunt. She took advantage of no one to hold Chu Xiaxing's arm, and cautiously said: "Auntie, Hou Shenyue just misunderstood a bit. He is actually quite polite, not a big-name actor..."
Han Chuning can't blame Hou Shenyue too much, after all, outsiders don't know the relationship between him and his aunt.
Chu Xiaxing gave her a casual glance, and Feng Qingyun said calmly, "Is he chasing you?"
Han Chuning suddenly quaked his pupils and shook his head into a rattle, righteously saying: "No, no, we are just friends! Pure and flawless revolutionary friendship!"
Chu Xiaxing sneered when she heard the words. She looked suspicious, and then asked like a bullet: "How many people are there in his family? How old is this year? What works did he have in the past? What achievements have he made now? It is said that he is a famous actor. How long will it take to have a Grand Slam?"
When Han Chuning faced the cross-examination of the auntie's household registration check, she stared in disbelief, and said in surprise: "He is only two years older than me, how can he have a Grand Slam?"
Chu Xiaxing disdainfully said, "Isn't it enough to have a hand in a Grand Slam? Dao Xu's wife was 18 years old and she was a Grand Slam when she was 27. He was not the same age as him. I didn't specify the award."
Some actors call themselves Grand Slams when they win three gold medals, and some are Grand Slams with five major film festival awards. In addition, the gold content of some awards has been declining year by year. Chu Xiaxing thinks it should be easier to win awards in recent years. Naturally, I feel that the standard is not excessive, and the number of awards is not specified.
Han Chuning: "..." This is the height that a normal actor can reach!
Chu Xiaxing was suspicious: "Has he won the award now?"
Han Chuning said dryly: "Well, it should be all awards you haven't heard of..."
Chu Xiaxing shook her head, her face showed a dignified look, and said flatly: "This is not good! If he hasn't taken the actor before 30 years old, then he really doesn't deserve to enter our door!"
Chu Xiaxing didn't take Hou Shenyue's fan popularity into consideration. The main reason was that she had seen too many idol artists, and she fell too fast. Han Chuning's experience continues to improve, and her script creation will become more mature, but this is not the case for idol stars. She must seize the opportunity to transform.
Chu Xiaxing didn't bother to worry about the real relationship between the two children, she just made judgments purely on the career plans of both parties.
Han Chuning: "?" What is wrong with this statement?
Han Chuning couldn't help but vomit: "Auntie, don't speak like a wicked mother-in-law, awards are not the most important thing..."
Chu Xiaxing plausibly said: "Of course the award is not the most important thing, but that has to be said after you get it! As long as he can become a Grand Slam actor, he can also say that the Grand Slam has a hand!"
Han Chuning: "..." So this is the world of the strong?
Chu Xiaxing looked at her niece disapprovingly, she sighed: "There is really no way, let me rescue it!"
Chu Xiaxing was lost in thought, she felt that if Hou Shen was more and more fiercely compared, it was not completely without the chance to win the prize.
Han Chuning said in a hurry: "No, no, no, I think you have misunderstood something, the logic of this thing does not seem to be like this..."
Chu Xiaxing: "Oh, don't you want him to win the prize? That's fine, I'll save trouble." If Han Chuning and Hou Shenyue are okay, then she really doesn't need to bother.
Han Chuning was embarrassed and hesitated: "...Wait, this doesn't seem right."
Han Chuning has been circumvented by Chu Xiaxing. She wants to say that she and Hou Shen have a revolutionary friendship, but she bluntly does not want the other party to win the prize. However, Chu Xiaxing is not a charity director. Why should she nurture Han Chuning's ordinary friends, not to mention that the other party has foolishly offended herself.
Han Chuning scratched his head confusedly: "Forget it, get the prize, get the prize, it's always good to win the prize."
Han Chuning finally stopped struggling, she decided to choose the result that looked better, ignoring some verbal details.
After the first script reading meeting, the script of "Wu Dao" went through several rounds of polishing, mainly to adjust the rationality of some minor details, such as the character logic of supporting roles such as Hua Yan. Chu Xiaxing frequently meets with actors, not only starring Hou Shenyue, but also supporting roles such as Cao Yangang and Zhou Xuelu.
In the meeting room, Hou Shenyue's assistants carried bags of milk tea and snacks into the room. Hou Shenyue said politely and friendly: "Teachers have worked hard, I bought some milk tea and brought them here."
Today, the house is basically full of directors and actors. Wang Fengtian and Han Chuning are not present. The assistants began to distribute drinks and snacks to the actors and staff.
Hou Shenyue took the initiative to serve a cup of milk tea, he sternly handed it to Chu Xiaxing who was reading the script, and said respectfully: "Director Chu, this is for you. I made some immature opinions during the last meeting. I'm really sorry. ..."
The more Hou Shen recalled his actions, he was about to embarrass himself in the ground, wishing for social death.
Cao Yangang was immersed in taking notes to the script, and did not notice this scene. Zhou Xuelu was surprised to see Hou Shenyue being so polite. After all, she had only seen Zhang Anluo who was arrogant and domineering. She thought that a famous actor would have eyes above the top and could not speak, so she could bow her head to please others?
Hou Shenyue is much higher than Zhang Anluo, but now he looks weak, pitiful and helpless!
Zhou Xuelu: The strange sense of professional crisis has increased. This is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
Chu Xiaxing raised his eyes to Hou Shenyue, but still couldn't restrain the feeling of picking and choosing in his heart. She always looked at Hou Shenyue inexplicably unpleasant, a thousand miles worse than her own child, and said calmly: "You don't have to say sorry to me. I hope you can play well in the group later, don't be sorry for yourself."
Hou Shenyue seemed to be being taught by the director. He couldn't lift his head with a guilty conscience, and said honestly: "...Okay, I will act well."
Even if he was as dull as Cao Yangang, he realized that it was wrong at this time and muttered curiously: "Boss, why are you so strict with him? Are you not very tolerant to good-looking people?"
Chu Xiaxing said indifferently: "What's the use of being good-looking, can you take the actor if you are good-looking?"
Cao Yangang: "..." But you told me that you are good-looking and can eat with your face. Why did you suddenly change your opinion?
When Zhou Xuelu heard this, she felt aggrieved: "...is it useless to look good!?"
Zhou Xuelu: My vase dream shattered so quickly? The director really has a new idea every day!
Chu Xiaxing is usually a face-seeing person, but now she thinks about Han Chuning and asks to immediately become both talented and handsome, wishing that Hou Shen would be the best match, and it would be an elder mentality.
Chu Xiaxing: My requirements are not too high, his ability is at least equivalent to mine!
Everyone opened the script to communicate and continued to discuss the characters and plot. As the director, Chu Xiaxing looked around. She saw Hou Shenyue who was directly opposite, and asked abruptly: "Since you want to discuss the characters, you can talk about your understanding of Wu Shu's role. After all, you are the protagonist of the movie. Make a sample."
Hou Shenyue was like a student named in class. He showed a hint of hurriedness and hesitated: "Just tell me directly?" There is no buffer?
Chu Xiaxing: "Let's talk about the eighty-nine games. I will listen to what you think."
Hou Shen flipped through the script and found the 89th scene accurately. He confirmed that he had really studied the script, but at this time he was not confident in the analysis. This thing is just like reading comprehension. It's not that you can do the following reading comprehension questions after reading that article before. These are two different things!
Hou Shenyue brazenly finished the explanation, his forehead was a little sweaty, and he looked at Chu Xiaxing anxiously.
Chu Xiaxing raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that all?"
Hou Shenyue: "..."
Hou Shenyue: Although the director's rhetorical question sounds very peaceful, why is there a "just here" tone?
Chu Xiaxing glanced at him with a guilty conscience and pursed her mouth, and she no longer pressured her cold face, and said patiently, "The script is different from the novel. And lines, so you have to figure out the character psychology by yourself..."
"If you don’t understand at first, then think about what you will say when you encounter this kind of thing. Does this character say the same as you want to say? If you are different, why are there different? You basically Can understand the character and mentality of the character."
"Of course, if it is a script full of nonsense, then you don't need to figure it out, you can depend on the situation." Chu Xiaxing knew that Wang Fengtian's script was just right. He would not write too straightforward and stupid, which would make young actors. It's hard to understand, it may take some effort.
Good actors have to figure out the mentality of the characters themselves, and even extend the text content more abundantly, but if they play a fool's TV series every day, it will easily become completely useless.
Hou Shenyue showed a thoughtful look, and he humbly replied: "Thank you, Director."
Other actors also listened to Chu Xiaxing’s sharing. It was like an orderly classroom. Cao Yangang raised his hands enthusiastically to speak, wondering:
Boss, but what if I can’t figure out the difference between myself and the role?

Chu Xiaxing calmly said: "It's normal if you can't figure it out. It may be that you are similar to the character, so psychologically synchronized."
Cao Yangang looked confused: "...but I think my role is a bit dumb? Am I similar to him?"
Chu Xiaxing decisively shakes the pot: "You figured it out by yourself, I didn't say it broke!"
Cao Yangang: "?" Does this mean really stupid?
The actors laughed as they watched Cao Yangang's sluggish expression, and even the atmosphere of the meeting was much more cheerful, and successively explained their understanding of the characters.
Hou Shenyue was undoubtedly the subject of focus in the meeting. He was called by the director of Chu several times to answer questions, and he was about to have a cardiac arrest. Other actors saw it, but men and women were in tears!
Hou Shenyue was highly nervous and concentrated within a few hours, and was numbed by Chu Xiaxing's cold words, and was about to get out of his body, but Cao Yangang and Zhou Xuelu were jealous with envy.
Cao Yangang was silent for a moment, and finally said with emotion: "Hey, the boss doesn't scold me now but only scolds you. Thinking about it, it's really not good..."
Zhou Xuelu pretended to cry, and said aggrieved: "After all, one person will carry everything. It is different when the crew is changed. The newcomers are scolded but the old ones cry..."
Cao Yangang, Zhou Xuelu: Obviously I was the most favored (scolded) actor in the crew at the beginning!
The more Hou Shen listened to the complaints of his colleagues, he had been fainted by the training, and his mood was very subtle for a moment: "..."
Hou Shenyue: This blessing of being scolded, I don't know how to swallow it, all I have is sad.
