Chapter 43:

Xu Xiancheng's wife is named Xie Zhaoyan. Because Wang Fengtian and other people behind the scenes have more contact with Xu Dao, they will habitually call "Xu Dao's wife". In fact, Xie Zhaoyan's popularity is not lower than that of Xu Xiancheng. The actor is working in front of the stage and the topic is higher than the director.
When Xie Zhaoyan was young, there was no shortage of wealthy businessmen and celebrities who pursued her. In the end, she chose Director Xu, who had cooperated many times. It is said that she liked the talent of Director Xu.
Chu Xiaxing looked at the outside, and Xie Zhaoyan looked at the inside. They had a lot of communication before, but they haven't met for a long time now.
When Xu Xiancheng and Xie Zhaoyan were out of work, they both stayed in a foreign residence and felt the nature in a beautiful place. There is a time difference between Chu Xiaxing and Xie Zhaoyan, and they have their own life circles. It is really difficult to talk to heaven.
Chu Xiaxing was madly instigated by Wang Fengtian, and thinking about not seeing Xie Zhaoyan for a long time, he casually agreed to participate in "24 Frames of Light and Shadow". She didn't take the variety show to heart, but after hearing the news, she was a sensation!
Inside the villa, Chu Qiu stood up with a stunned sound. She looked at Chu Xiaxing up and down, and then hurriedly around in circles, and said in surprise: "Then you have to put on a bright and good outfit, otherwise how can you get on the show..."
Han Chuning hurriedly took out her ipad, and she also helped her aunt to make suggestions: "Auntie, have you never watched this show? I will help you download the previous seasons. You can learn about the competition system recently!"
Chu Xiaxing: "...not so exaggerated, it's just a variety show, not a real competition."
Han Chuning: "This competition system is very important, because the director has to find actors by himself, and there is also a voting session for netizens, so some directors may suffer...It doesn't matter, if it doesn't work, I will help you find small meat, isn't it just traffic!"
The "24 Frames of Light and Shadow" program group is very smart. They ask the director to find his short film actors. Well-known directors can draw big stars by brushing their faces. The program group does not have to spend too much money, which can be said to be a little abacus. If there are celebrities with strong fans in the short film, they will have an advantage in the online voting, but young directors who have no contacts will easily fall behind.
"I will study the online voting process and see how the data of the previous seasons are calculated..." Han Chuning, like an anxious little eunuch, asked hurriedly, "Has the review for this season been finalized?"
Emperor Chu Xiaxing didn't know how to vote for variety shows, and said frankly: "It's Xie Zhaoyan."
Chu Qiuyi was initially picking clothes. She snorted coldly at this time, and said in a strange way: "Ah, no wonder you went to the show, it turned out that she was back home..."
Chu Qiuyi and Xie Zhaoyan are both types with outstanding looks, but they are inexplicably blind to each other. Chu Qiuyi had a little enthusiasm. He always felt that Xie Zhaoyan was vying for her sister's love. For a while, she almost wanted to make a show, planning to compete with the other party, but was finally dissuaded by Chu Xiaxing.
Han Chuning was accustomed to her mother's small temper. She ignored Chu Qiuyi's tone and said thoughtfully: "Aunt Xie cried so badly at the funeral. She still flew home overnight and almost missed..."
Chu Qiuyi was not convinced: "Whose daughter are you anyway? Why are you still speaking for her?"
Han Chuning: "...I just state the facts."
Chu Xiaxing didn't keep an eye on her funeral all the way. She floated out unconsciously at the time. She just didn't want to see relatives and friends crying bitterly. Now she couldn't help but froze, "Is there anything else?"
Han Chuning: "Yes, aunt, do you want to recognize her? I remember your relationship is good."
Chu Xiaxing: "It depends on the situation."
Han Chuning nodded: "That's right, it sounds outrageous."
Xie Zhaoyan is not Chu Xiaxing's relatives, she may be afraid after hearing the truth, who can think of being reborn after death.
Chu Xiaxing hadn't seen Xie Zhaoyan for a long time. She also hesitated at this time and said tentatively, "I'll go on the show and see what she looks like now. If she is assimilated by Lao Xu, then there is no need to recognize her. "
Chu Xiaxing: Xu Xiancheng became bald in retirement. Who knows about Xie Zhaoyan?
Han Chuning: "?" What a scumbag?
Han Chuning: I thought you were afraid of acknowledgment and scared the other party before you said it depends on the situation. So you want to see if the person's appearance is still there?
Chu Qiuyi gloated and said, "She should have been tanned by the foreign sun a long time ago, otherwise why haven't photos been posted out recently?"
Xie Zhaoyan has been quite low-key in recent years, she is in a state of divine hiding, and even the photos have not flowed out.
"..." Han Chuning wanted to refute that she didn't feel black when she saw Aunt Xie last time, but she didn't dare to talk back to her mother, so she could only swallow the words back into her stomach.
Chu Xiaxing wanted to appear on the show one after another, but the people around him were quite concerned. Chu Qiuyi acted as the styling consultant, Han Chuning acted as the director's agent, and even Luo Kun stepped forward to pass on experience.
Luo Kun has participated in the previous seasons of the show. He is now convinced of Chu Xiaxing’s ability, but he still urges embarrassedly: "Director, this show may be based on seniority. If the show team does not do well, don’t worry about it. On the Internet, the review results are basically fair, and online voting is uncertain..."
Because many well-known directors only promote new films on the show, they will only sign for one or two episodes and leave after the promotion is over. During the recording period, they are more valued by the show team, and online voting is also full of momentum. Young directors have a long signing period, and it is impossible to compete for online voting in every issue, so there is not much stamina.
Chu Xiaxing said relaxedly: "It doesn't matter, it's just for fun. Maybe you can meet an excellent young director."
Chu Xiaxing’s goal for participating in "24 Frames of Light and Shadow" is very clear. One is to help the movie "Wu Dao" publicize, the other is to see what Xie Zhaoyan is doing, and the third is to search for potential new directors.
When Luo Kun heard the words, he was taken aback. He wanted to speak and then said the truth: "...then you may not meet young directors."
Chu Xiaxing: "?"
Luo Kun cautiously said: "It's true that if you didn't participate in this season's show, I am the youngest director in these seasons, so it is unlikely that you will encounter a dark horse..."
Chu Xiaxing: "???" I obviously wanted to dig out the younger generation, but you said I was the younger generation?
After the start of the recording of "24 Frames of Light and Shadow", Chu Xiaxing unexpectedly became the youngest guest. Although she had already filmed the star TV series "The Immortal Doctor of the Song Dynasty" and became the director of the movie "Wu Dao", but because of this season's The director lineup is quite strong, and she has become the least experienced person among them.
Because the program review is the grand slam actress Xie Zhaoyan, many first-line directors are willing to show up, resulting in high expectations for the new season's goals. The directors of the first issue have old qualifications such as the commercial movie wizard Fan Ke, the Hong Kong movie classic Gong Zhan, and the idol drama trader Huo Xiaogang. The remaining directors have basically worked in recent years, and there are no unknown people.
The recording environment set up for the first episode was quite interesting, everyone was not in a brightly lit studio, but in an antique tea room. Although netizens jokingly called the show "Director's Destroyed Documentary", the program team is determined not to magnify the competition. Whoever prevents some directors from offending, they only dare to say it is an artistic exchange.
Fan Ke was the first director to enter the tea room. He looked at the empty tea table and said in surprise: "Oh, it's pretty simple..."
In the tea room, there are not only simple tea tables, but also a dazzling array of Bogu shelves, and various paintings and calligraphy are hung on the walls.
The directors sat at the tea table one by one, and began to humorously. Fan Ke, Gong Zhan and other old seniority were quite comfortable, and they were able to talk easily. The rest of the directors were much more cautious and occasionally couldn't even intervene. Chu Xiaxing is the most generous of the new generation of directors, and she is the only female director, which naturally attracts the attention of others.
As the director with the highest rank on the table, Fan Ke wanted to help cue the young director. However, he didn't know what works Chu Xiaxing had, so he could only dryly said, "Oh, your name is quite powerful. Choose the director..."
Huo Xiaogang was amused by the other party: "Guide Fan, don't praise people if you don't know how to praise people, how can you praise your name!"
If someone else is afraid of shirking and being humble, Chu Xiaxing will justly rub his own heat: "I also think it's quite powerful."
There were 6 directors in the first stage of the program. The directors appeared one after another in the introduction sound of the program, and naturally Xie Zhaoyan appeared in the expectation of the crowd. Today, Xie Zhaoyan is wearing a cheongsam that modifies her figure. She hired Tingting to come in with a tea set. She has a dignified and elegant temperament. She can be called a beautiful woman and she can't tell her actual age.
The beauty is in the bone but not in the skin.
When Chu Xiaxing saw this, he relaxed. Director Xu's overseas villa was not a pig farm, and he was the only one who became fat and bald.
The directors also hadn't seen Xie Zhaoyan for a long time, and immediately started talking at the tea table. Xie Zhaoyan made tea for everyone elegantly. She was not only a judge but also a host, she needed to ease the atmosphere on the table and take care of every director. The program group is afraid that the fierce competition will offend others, so they choose a tea table suitable for communication.
"This is the director of Chu..." Xie Zhaoyan spoke to each director one after another. When it was the only female director on the table, she felt that the title was a bit familiar. She looked inexplicably in a trance for a few seconds, and then quickly connected to the topic. Director Chu is really young and promising, isn't he nervous to sit here?"
Because Chu Xiaxing is the youngest and the only female director, Xie Zhaoyan's tone is very kind. Fan Ke and others had met Xie Zhaoyan before, but the remaining directors didn't dare to chat with Xie Zhaoyan, and didn't dare to make trouble behind this double-director favored movie.
Chu Xiaxing was calm and calm when faced with her former friends, she said, "Don't be nervous, after all, I signed a whole season of the show, and I will definitely be able to save it to the final link, so I should know who is scheduled."
Program group: "?"
Program group: When did we make the default? How can you innocent people out of thin air?
Everyone was amused by Chu Xiaxing instantly, and the tense atmosphere when they first met also relaxed. Fan Ke applauded admiringly: "Yes, yes, then I guess I will be eliminated immediately. I didn't sign a few issues..."
Chu Xiaxing: "Hey, the main reason is that the program group has no money to sign."
The directors laughed even more when they heard that, Xie Zhaoyan saw Chu Xiaxing playing with the teacup, but she was slightly stunned at this time, it was rare that she did not keep up with the chatting atmosphere. Chu Xiaxing's free and easy manner among male directors always gives Xie Zhaoyan a feeling of deja vu.
Others of course also noticed that Xie Zhaoyan was a little distracted. They relaxed a lot now, and they also had the courage to deliberately tease: "Director Chu's name is also very powerful."
Xie Zhaoyan is one of the few film queens recognized by the double guide. She has filmed both Xu Xiancheng's drama and Chu Xiaxing's drama. The three of them also left a legendary love triangle scandal, and they are still frequently teased by people. Outsiders have reported that the relationship between Chu and Xie is not harmonious, and some say that they are quite close, which can be described as confusing.
Because the people involved are not responsive characters, the people who eat melon can't guess the truth.
Xie Zhaoyan understood the hints of others, how could she not know what they were trying to say, she nodded naturally: "Indeed, Director Chu's name reminds me of an old person, and I always keep her from falling into love triangle rumors..."
Others heard Xie Zhaoyan's first positive reply, and stopped avoiding the topic of double guide. They were all quite surprised and showed gossip. Outsiders say that Chu Xie Zhengxu, two women chasing a man, and now they can finally eat melons in the front row.
Xie Zhaoyan said frankly: "I have a showdown now. I just have no resistance to those who engage in art. I only chose Lao Xu back then, but after thinking about it carefully, I chose the wrong guide. I should choose a more artistic leader..."
"The rumors outside of you are inaccurate. It's not two women chasing a man. In fact, two guides are chasing me. Xu is not worthy!" Xie Zhaoyan raised her eyebrows. She had the vulgar arrogance that was on the screen back then. Her beauty is so touching even when she speaks nonsense.
Everyone wanted to hear about the love triangle scandal, but they didn't expect to have a reversal, and said in surprise: "So it's like this!"
"It's actually Director Xu climbing up..."
"It sounds reasonable!"
Chu Xiaxing listened to her friend seriously affixed gold to herself: "?" I was just lustful, when did I chase you?
Chu Xiaxing: You relied on me that I couldn't jump up from the coffin and beat you, so you ruined my reputation unscrupulously?
