Chapter 50:

Wang Fengtian was still worried at first. After listening to Han Chuning’s introduction, he simply broke the pot and sighed:
Forget it, winning or losing is not important, it’s just the show...

"The performance in the first period is quite eye-catching, and it will be exaggerated to win such a succession!" Wang Fengtian quickly adjusted his emotions, but he took the lead in comforting him, only to move out the "Cai De Serene" emoji package at this time. .
Wang Fengtian had no expectations for the police and criminal short films, and even Hou Shenyue felt pressure. When he was shooting, he completely obeyed Chu Xiaxing's opinion, but he seemed a little trembling, as if he couldn't let go.
Chu Xiaxing said in surprise: "When we filmed "Wu Dao," you weren't so nervous? Didn't all communicate well at the time?"
Hou Shenyue was able to let go in the later stage of the "Wu Dao" crew. He occasionally expresses his opinions, and he is not an actor who is completely mindless.
Hou Shenyue said helplessly: "But this time I have to face Teacher Qi, it feels different..."
Qi Yanbang is Shidi. He was invited by Gong Zhan to help out. He is simply a professional policeman. The audience can always find him in the past Hong Kong police and criminal films, including the protagonist or supporting role.
Chu Xiaxing joked: "To put it bluntly, I feel that Xiao Cao and Lulu are unworthy. You are nervous now when you are facing Shidi, so relax when you film with them!"
The more embarrassed Hou Shen scratched his head, he quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, but Teacher Qi is indeed a senior..."
It is difficult for Hou Shenyue to explain his own psychological state. He has no pressure as a trio of scolding in the "Wu Dao" crew. Cao Yangang and Zhou Xuelu are also considered to be the same age, and everyone is laughing and joking. However, Qi Yanbang is a senior who has won an award, and Hou Shenyue is naturally slightly weaker when facing a qualified opponent.
"Director Chu, I don't know how to describe my feelings, but sometimes I don't know whether I'm acting well or not, but my heart is actually very uncomfortable..." Hou Shen confided in embarrassment and said with a bitter smile, "some people said I can act well. Of course, it may be compared to my star of the same type. However, some people say that I have no acting skills at all, and over time I become vague, so I am anxious about Teacher Qi."
This is precisely Hou Shenyue’s dilemma all the time. He is indeed excellent in acting as a traffic star, but the audience has a prejudice against traffic’s acting skills. As a result, he is always in a state of confusion about his own abilities, unable to accurately make it. judgment.
Hou Shenyue has a huge fan base. He has heard too many voices of beauty, and he has also heard a lot of spurning traffic, and he can only waver in the noisy controversy. He has no pressure to cooperate with Cao Yangang and Zhou Xuelu. Once he meets a well-known senior, he will be restrained and feel inferior.
Hou Shenyue: I don't know how to overcome the spontaneous "I am unworthy" mentality.
After listening to Hou Shenyue's inner confession, Chu Xiaxing summed it up thoughtfully: "You don't know if you are an idol group or a strong group, so now you are very anxious about actors who don't rely on their faces to eat?"
"You can say that..." Hou Shenyue said bitterly, and he quickly asked for a supplement, "but I didn't say that Teacher Qi was embarrassed!"
Chu Xiaxing saw that his desire for survival was so strong, she couldn't help being amused: "Am I scolding you too much in the crew, causing you to have no confidence now?"
Chu Xiaxing found that Hou Shenyue was too respectful to her seniors, and she began to reflect on whether she was too strict, which caused the child to be very polite to everyone now.
Hou Shenyue: "That can't be called scolding, it should be respected for the director..." Not to mention Han Chuning's relatives.
Chu Xiaxing pondered for a few seconds and raised his eyebrows: "This is only half of the truth. If the director is capable, it should be respected. If the director is not capable, then there is no need to hold the other person."
"I don't understand the statistics of your fans, and I don't know the current celebrity traffic, but it is impossible for actors to put aside their faces. Even in the era of Qi Yanbang, there are also idol groups, and there is nothing superior to them. Divide. Have you ever thought about it, your timidity of Qi Yanbang may be just a filter of the times."
Chu Xiaxing did not fully understand the traffic and data, but she would not hold an attitude of utter contempt for it. This is the gameplay and rules of different eras, each era has its own advantages and disadvantages, just see who can understand it.
"If it's just an era filter, then you don't have to be afraid. It's your era now." Chu Xiaxing has experienced the past. Instead, she doesn't have a nostalgic filter and can look at everything objectively.
For the first time, Hou Shenyue heard Director Chu encourage himself, he was startled: "But after all, it is the Emperor..."
Chu Xiaxing smiled: "Why do you think you will not be this emperor or that emperor in the future?"
Hou Shen became more surprised: "How is this possible!?"
Chu Xiaxing: "What's impossible? In the early years, the center of Chinese-language movies was Hong Kong. At that time, many people still felt that mainland movies could not get up."
She has seen too much impossible to possible, experienced the weak moments of mainland directors, and experienced the rapid expansion of mainland movies.
Chu Xiaxing saw Hou Shenyue's accumulation in the crew in her eyes. She knew that it was the last time to push him. He wanted to break the original psychological barriers by himself and develop the courage to challenge authority.
Hou Shenyue relied on the help of fans and outsiders to start his business, but now he has reached the point of independent judgment. Only by getting rid of the outside world's definition of him can he get to the next level.
"Hou Shenyue, put aside those messy titles, you are Hou Shenyue, he is Qi Yanbang, delete the prefix adjectives added by outsiders, you are just actors."
Hou Shenyue didn't expect that Director Chu would say this. He pondered for a while, and finally a bright color flashed under his eyes, as if he completely relieved his psychological burden, and said in a low voice, "Okay."
Hou Shenyue originally had a natural fear of Shidi, but according to Director Chu's words, he deleted those messy titles, and his mentality was inexplicably peaceful. He also found all the works of Qi Yanbang in the past and watched them earnestly. In the past, he became more and more panicked when he watched them. However, he has experienced the acting skills of Zhou and Cao in the crew, and now he can ponder it quietly.
Chu Xiaxing pointed out: "Their lineup looks very strong, and that's why it's easy to read. Because he is a Hong Kong TV drama emperor, so he acts naturally and respects the emperor, but he will be guessed by the audience."
After hearing the director’s words, Hou Shenyue showed a thoughtful look. He rarely found the state of daring to speak in the "Wu Dao" crew, and said: "Director Chu, I have a little idea, that is, our young people have a feeling of Hong Kong. The feeling of a cop movie..."
Chu Xiaxing and Hou Shenyue finally incorporated their respective concepts into it and successfully completed the shooting of the police and criminal short film.
At the recording scene of "24 Frames of Light and Shadow", the directors returned with their short films as scheduled, but today it has become a little different, as Emperor Qi Yanbang actually appeared on the show.
Fan Ke saw Qi Yanbang who smiled and said hello to Xie Zhaoyan, he couldn't help muttering secretly: "This is a little shameless, I don't say hello in advance..."
When the first episode of the show was broadcast, only Xie Zhaoyan and the directors were present, and no other short film actors appeared. Gong Zhan actually took the actors to the stage in this episode, and suddenly felt a frantic canvassing for votes. It seemed that it wouldn't work if he didn't give him tickets.
After all, Qi Yanbang himself was sitting on the stage, and the scene would be strangely embarrassing if the emperor returned without a prize.
Although Fan Ke and others understand that the theme of this issue of police and gangsters has defaulted Gong and Chu, it does not mean that they accept actors to come to canvass for votes.
Fan Ke is a mainland director. He originally had no prejudice against directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he did not intend to stand in line with Gong Chu, but now seeing Gong Zhan invite foreign aid, he is not very happy, and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you Calling Hou? If he stops in the studio, the audience next to it will not be full!"
Fan Ke has a deep understanding of Xiao Xianrou's fan power. He felt that relying on actors to canvass votes, Chu Xiaxing might not lose. Gong Zhan didn't say a word in advance, just trying to kill everyone by surprise.
Chu Xiaxing: "It's not good to bully the small like this." She is quite bullying when she goes into battle in a trumpet. Now it is too much to call fans.
Fan Ke was immediately amused: "Which side is this bigger and which is smaller?"
Qi Yanbang first exchanged greetings with Xie Zhaoyan. Although one of them was the emperor and the queen, the gold content of the title was completely different. Xie Zhaoyan is an internationally famous actress, and she has a different step up.
After Qi Yanbang and Xie Zhaoyan finished talking, he only greeted Fan Ke, and even Huo Xiaogang ignored Huo Xiaogang, perhaps because he didn't look down on the director of the idol drama, let alone the remaining young directors.
Huo Xiaogang was left out in the cold for no reason. Now Qi Yanbang's attitude is normal, and he can't help muttering: "What kind of director is the actor? This attitude is almost the same!"
The short films of the directors began to play one after the other. As everyone speculated on the default winner, they were less careful than the previous period. The films of Gong Zhan and Chu Xiaxing were ranked last.
Gong Zhan and Qi Yanbang sat together and talked and laughed. They looked like they had a chance to win, and they were quite confident.
After a while, Gong Zhan's short film was finally played on the screen, and Fan Ke was taken aback when he saw the set scene: "Oh, you deserve to be a Hong Kong film director. This picture has that kind of flavor..."
Although directors such as Fan Ke and Huo Xiaogang complained to Gong Zhan, they have to say that Hong Kong film directors have their own old ways, especially the artistic creators who grew up in that cultural soil with strong personal styles. Gong Zhan is very familiar with the local environment, and his selection of scenes is naturally quite skillful, paying tribute to many famous scenes in blockbuster films!
This is a theme that has been remembered in many people's memories. The undercurrents, fierce competition between police and criminals, and the stories are staged again in the familiar and cramped streets of Hong Kong, especially the "Ah sir" that awakens everyone's memories.
Gong Zhan's police and criminal short film did not come as Chu Xiaxing expected, and it is simply a classic Hong Kong film template. Qi Yanbang reproduces the mature acting skills in old police and criminal films, coupled with various nostalgic old songs and Hong Kong movie scenes. I wish it could be the exquisite collection of countless Hong Kong police and criminal films, I am afraid that many Hong Kong film lovers will cry. Fill your eyes!
"Suddenly reminded me of the days when I was a kid watching Hong Kong movies at home every day!"
"But the short film doesn't have much storyline, it's just a splicing of classic pictures?"
"I won the exciting music at the beginning, and I couldn't produce any plot in ten minutes..."
Gong Zhan’s short films also have their own weaknesses, that is, excessive nostalgia for tears and ignoring the overall plot logic, but the program team judges the director’s pros and cons based on ten-minute short films, which was originally a very demanding approach, so the directors on site only act as flaws.
After the broadcast of Director Gong’s short film, everyone talked passionately for a long time. They are all people who have experienced the Hong Kong film era. Now they naturally have their own indestructible feelings.
Xie Zhaoyan and the others calmed down, and then said with a smile, "Then it is Director Chu's work in the end."
The big screen lights up again, and a very similar Hong Kong street scene emerges. It is also a tribute to a Hong Kong film title. Even in Gong Zhan's short films, similar settings can be found, which immediately surprised the directors present.
Looking at the familiar scene, Qi Yanbang commented meaningfully: "If this director wants to learn from Hong Kong film scenes, he still has to learn more from Gong Dao!"
Fan Ke discovered that Chu Xiaxing’s police and gangster short film was similar to Gong Zhan. He also expressed a little regret:
It’s worse if you don’t see it, but it really doesn’t feel like that...

Gong Zhan's victory is not in his technique, but in his own role as a director of Hong Kong films and the blessing of Qi Yanbang as the emperor, which arouses the nostalgia of the audience. Chu Xiaxing does not belong to a Hong Kong film director. She imitates classic old films and falls behind, and it is easy to draw tigers but not to be a dog.
Huo Xiaogang: "This short film is okay in front of Director Gong, but it was suppressed to the end."
Everyone has just accepted Gong Zhan's Feeling Dafa, and if they continue to accept Chu Xiaxing's Feeling Dafa, it will indeed cause certain aesthetic fatigue.
Just when they felt bored, the scene on the screen suddenly changed. As the camera quickly zoomed up, a TV appeared on the screen. The Hong Kong movie scene just now was actually the content on the TV!
Hou Shenyue was sitting in front of the TV indulging in watching Hong Kong movies, but he was severely knocked on the back of his head, and then the voice-over uttered a curse: "What age is this? Still want to be a young and Dangerous boy. !"
Hou Shen became annoyed, and he dared to glance aside in anger without saying a word. Then he waved his hand reluctantly, and the TV in front of him disappeared. He stood in the living room in vain, then looked around, waving his hand irritably and silently.
In the next second, all the furnishings in the house with a sense of life disappeared, leaving only the cold metal walls. Hou Shenyue was like a trapped animal standing in a metal cage, and the surroundings were empty.
This is a certain era in the future, home decoration is all projection, behind the fantasy dream only technology. There are no turbulent stories here, only people's nostalgia for the past with technology.
When Chu Xiaxing placed the elements of police and bandit in the advanced future era, he re-deconstructed the connotation of Hong Kong movies and gave them a new color.
