Just to Sweep the Entertainment Industry Chapter 121: If you have an opinion, hold back


Yan Lu thought that Bai Zizi was going to take him directly to the airport to pick him up, but in fact he went directly to Ji Kangxu's residence in Hongyun Village.

It was a single-family villa from some eras. The brick red and white outlines very simple and atmospheric lines. The villa covers a small area. Traces of daily care.

The time when the two arrived was just after nine in the morning, and Bai Zidi didn't say anything along the way. Yan Lu thought that he would have to wait for a while.

But he didn't want to, Bai Zizi led him directly to the second floor, and pushed open the slightly heavy wooden door at the end of the corridor.

"Director Ji, Yan Lu is here."

A screen with a landscape painting blocked the view, Yan Lu couldn't see anyone, only the sound of footsteps from far to near was heard.

In just one or two breaths, Ji Kangxu's figure came around from one side, "Yan Lu, we haven't seen each other for some time, how are you doing?"

Ji Kang Xuzhao is much darker and thinner than a month and a half ago, especially his body and clothes are a little wobbly, but his spirit is very good, his voice is also loud, and he is full of energy.

His voice directly brought the distance between the two of them a lot closer.

Yan Lu smiled and greeted him, "Director Ji, are you in good spirits and healthy?"

"Okay!" Ji Kangxu opened his hand and showed it with a certain momentum, and said, "I've been shooting outside during this time, and I've traveled a lot. Oh, it's like going out for a trip. ."

While joking, Ji Kangxu led Yan Lu around the screen and walked in.

At this time, Yan Lu realized that behind the screen was actually a small office with all the necessary equipment, and there were already a lot of people sitting around the conference table.

There are men and women, old and strong, there are fourteen or five.

Yan Lu's eyes remember people's faces, that's not to say. After just looking around, he recognized several faces that he had seen at press conferences and premieres before.

It's just that there wasn't much interaction at that time, and we didn't say hello.

Ji Kangxu briefly introduced, "These are the core backbones of my team. These are assistant director Lu Ming, screenwriter Du Feiyi, producer Fan Zhi, action director Jiang Jun..."

There are a lot of people, and the job functions of these fifteen people cover nearly 80% of a movie.

Yan Lu was very polite and shook hands with everyone.

Because we all know that Ji Kangxu admires and loves him very much, plus the previous movie "Friends Not Enemies", the theme song "Old Boy" written and sung by Yan Lu also adds color to the movie A lot, so many people are also very polite to him.

It wasn't until fifteen people finished greeting that Ji Kangxu pulled Yan Lu and let him sit down on his left. That position was closer to him than any assistant director or screenwriter.

As for Bai Zidi, after Ji Kangxu took his seat, he sat down diagonally behind him. He seemed to be a very ordinary assistant in a low-key manner.

Everyone is not surprised by this, but they are quite surprised at the position where Yan Lu is sitting. The whispering conversation is still quite clear in the small conference room.

Yan Lu adheres to the attitude of being at ease when he comes. Anyway, the seat is arranged by the director of the season. He just obeys. It is the same wherever he sits.

As for Director Ji, he waited until the discussion was almost over before he said: "In this film, Yan Li is the music director and is solely responsible for all music-related work."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent. Fifteen people's fifteen pairs of eyes fell on Yan Lu's body. There were explorations, curiosity, disdain, and doubt. The people beside him made eye contact.

Ji Kangxu sat in his seat with an unmoved expression, as if he knew what the crowd was saying, and looked around, "Why, do you have something to say?"

Lu Ming looked at Yan Lu, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Brother Ji, it's not that he has an opinion on Yan Lu, his creative level is indeed obvious to all, but as a music director, he has no experience, or I will How about a second-in-command?"

Ji Kang Xu didn't speak, Du Feiyi took the conversation first, "Brother Yan, don't take it to heart, we are all big productions, we have to submit satisfactory answers to the audience, and we have to be responsible to the investors, so there is no room for it. Sloppy, not aimed at you. So, I think, if you are responsible for a theme song episode or something, okay, as a director, you should find a professional."

The two of them obviously have a very high status in the team. As soon as the two of them spoke, the rest of them echoed. Some agreed to appoint a deputy, while others simply pointed out that Yan Lu had no work experience and was incompetent.

For a while, the entire conference room was lively and noisy because of this issue, and the sound was relatively uniform.

Ji Kangxu just listened, his eyes fell on the folder on the desktop in front of him, neither speaking nor moving.

Yan Lu is also indifferent, neither happy nor angry, as if the doubts and dissatisfaction of these people are not his.

Bai Zizi crossed Erlang's legs, one hand brushed on the armrest and supported his chin, watching those people say that his face was red and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, he thought it was quite interesting.

Time passed by every second, more than ten minutes, these people seemed to have said enough, and seeing that Ji Kangxu and Yan Lu were still quiet, they all stopped and sat back to their own In the position, those who have dry mouth get up to get water.

Suddenly the figure next to him moved, and then a glass of water was pushed in front of him. Yan Lu was a little surprised. He looked up and saw Lu Ming, the assistant director sitting next to him, who was handing the water. He was surprised, but still Very politely replied, "Thank you."

Lu Ming is almost forty-five this year. He looks quite simple and honest. His generous face is obviously characteristic of northerners. He smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "Don't mind, everyone is not targeting you, they are all right. That's what the movie takes."

"Yeah." Yan Lu also laughed. With a director like Ji Kangxu who has strict requirements for his works, his team will naturally not be bad. The reason why these people are so excited also shows this. Naturally, "I understand."

Seeing that Yan Lu didn't have any dissatisfaction on his face, Lu Ming said these three words with sincerity. He couldn't help but have a better impression of him, so he sat up straight.

Ji Kangxu saw that everyone had stopped talking, so he said, "Choose the worthy, I believe that he can do well, that is, he can do well. I, Ji Kangxu, never make mistakes in seeing people." /

Seeing that Du Feiyi was about to speak, Ji Kangxu looked straight at him, "I know that some of you are dissatisfied, but I want to say that no one who entered this industry was questioned at first, but You have to try it before you know if he succeeds or not."

"Many of you are inexperienced in the beginning, but I've made an exception, and it's the same here with Yan Lu."

"Since I've decided on this matter, I won't change it, anyone who has an opinion..." Having said this, Ji Kangxu's gaze towards Du Feiyi was even more direct, even pressing him to the point of his mouth The words just can't say anything.

Yan Lu raised his eyelids quite unexpectedly. He didn't expect Ji Kangxu to be quite domineering at work. He was completely imposing. He suddenly looked forward to what he would say next.

Then, I heard Ji Kangxu's voice ringing, "If you have an opinion, hold back, I won't listen."

"Alright, meeting!"

Yan Lu could feel that at this moment, everyone's chest was holding back a sigh of relief. He could even feel the feeling of suffocation and bitterness through the resonance of the air.

I can't help but feel a strange feeling in my heart, which seems to be quite refreshing.

Almost subconsciously, his eyes swept to the white child behind Ji Kangxu, and then he saw the other person raise his eyebrows with him, and the corners of his mouth seemed to understand what he was thinking at the moment.

Then, Yan Lu felt that Bai Zizi was a little bit ill-fated.

Ji Kangxu gave everyone time to adjust their moods, and then he knocked on the folder in front of him and said: "The script is officially released today, and everyone gathers to discuss it and share any ideas. For example, try to finalize it today and start construction as soon as possible.”

After he finished speaking, he asked Bai Zidi to send everyone a script, including Yan Li.

Before, Bai Zidi once gave Yan Lu a script, but it is not so much a script as a plot outline, which is Ji Kangxu's conception of the film as a whole.

And what is in front of you is the serious script. The whole story is dominated by character dialogue. The transition of the scene and the design of some specific shots will be explained in the middle. Many unnecessary modifiers are omitted, so that the whole plot will be flat and straightforward. clear.

Yan Lu turned page after page, but his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

He remembers that the film Ji Kangxu is shooting this time is based on a person's autobiography~IndoMTL.com~ and the chosen direction is a realistic theme that he has never challenged, but the script can be read in its entirety , There is no taste of reality at all, and it is very detached from reality.

He thought there was a problem with his interpretation, so he turned to the beginning again, and read it again, twice, three times, each time more carefully than before.

He even took out the dialogue sheets of the main characters for analysis, trying to decipher some meanings that he could not see through.

But nothing, nothing.

This script is not a realistic movie at all, but a propaganda film that sings praises.

He rubbed his eyebrows, wondering what went wrong. He wanted to say something, but he thought of his identity as a music director, and he joined the team.

Then took it back and said, 'Let's hear what other people have to say first! ’

Besides, Ji Kangxu slowly opened his mouth after reading the script over and over again, "If you have any ideas, please tell me."
