Chapter 858 Shock Field!

In the afternoon, the TV series "Legend of Lan Xi" was officially launched.

This time, Xu Jie appeared on the scene as the producer, but in order to avoid putting too much pressure on the director Lu Zhihong, he deliberately stayed away from the other party and the monitor, and sat in a corner alone to play Doudizhu.

After being busy for half a year, it's time to take a break.

"Okay, all the actors in the scene just now performed very well, Liu Qing, it would be better if your expression could be a little more restrained, and your eyes should not be so sharp, and Su Zi, your voice should be a little softer , put yourself into the role. Let's do it all over again."

Lu Zhihong kindly guided several leading actors, even if the actors did not perform well, they always kept a smile on their faces.

"Well, this time it's better than before. It's just that Liu Qing, your eyes should be softer. You haven't entered the palace yet, so you don't have to be so strong..."

"Did I be strong just now? I didn't think so. I've already acted very weak. Let me watch the replay." Liu Qing said and came to the front of the monitor, looked at the section just shot, and was unconvinced while watching Said, "I think it's all right."

"You are really good at acting, but it would be even better if you can act innocently." Lu Zhihong said with a smile.

"Didn't I look naive and naive just now?" Liu Qing asked back.

"Uh, make it more prominent and more obvious." Lu Zhihong said.

"Oh." Liu Qing responded, then left the monitor and returned to the camera.

Lu Zhihong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the others: "Every department prepares, start!"

Soon, this shot was shot again.

Lu Zhihong stood up, frowned and sternly said to an unknown actress: "Your position was wrong just now, you blocked the protagonist, don't steal the show..." Then he smiled again, looked at Liu Qing said: "Liu Qing, you acted very well this time, and it's fine to maintain this level when reshooting later."

"..."

Xu Jie looked at Lu Zhihong silently. Although he knew that in almost all crews, the director's attitude towards big-name actors was very tolerant, but there was no need to be so humble, right?
Moreover, there is a very obvious difference between the other party's attitude towards the leading actors and the group performers.

To big names, smiling faces cater to, and to young actors, stern voices, isn't this the opposite?

The performance of the leading actor is the highlight of a drama, and it also determines the height that a drama can reach, so in the process of filming, there should be stricter requirements for the leading actor.

As for the small actors, and those group performers, they all play some inconspicuous small roles. Yes, sometimes it's just to fill up the number of people. What's the use of demanding these actors so much?
Besides, how much do big names get paid?How much do young actors get paid?
Those who get a lot of money don't dare to scold, and let those who get less money take the blame, what's the point?
Shouldn't it be that the more money you take, the greater the responsibility?

With a salary of several hundred thousand for one episode, you still have to be coaxed if you don't perform well. How can you hire an actor?It is clear that the ancestors were invited, no, they may not be so filial to the ancestors.

Xu Jie didn't want to interfere with Lu Zhihong at first, but the other party's performance and actions really made him uncomfortable, even though most crews and directors were like this, but he didn't agree with this approach.

"Liu Qing, there was a shot in that scene that didn't capture your front face, let's retake it later." Lu Zhihong said to Liu Qing still in a friendly manner.

"Need to reshoot? How many times have you reshot this? Wouldn't it be enough for you to cut out the frontal shots you took before?" Liu Qing said, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.

"Ah? Okay, I see, I'm ready for the next shot." Lu Zhihong said.

"If you are asked to retake the film, you will retake it. There is so much nonsense!"

Suddenly a voice sounded and spread throughout the set, and the harsh tone made the scene instantly quiet.

After everyone heard it, instead of being surprised, they felt a sense of familiarity.

Yes, that's the sound, that's the smell!
Liu Qing was a little impatient at first, but after hearing this voice, she immediately lost her temper.

When she was filming "Lover in Time and Space", she was often scolded. If she refuted or had any dissatisfaction, she would inevitably usher in a more violent storm.

Xu Jie stared at Liu Qing coldly for a while, and then said to Lu Zhihong, "Old Lu, come here."

"Ah? Oh." Lu Zhihong was taken aback for a moment, then walked over quickly, stood in front of Xu Jie and asked, "Mr. Xu, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with my filming?"

Xu Jie glanced at the direction of the crew, then walked out for a distance with his arms around Lu Zhihong's shoulders, and then said: "Old Lu, no matter who they are, as long as they don't perform well, they should be trained. We asked them for filming. Yes, it's not for the ancestors, do you understand what I mean?"

Lu Zhihong was shocked all over, and his old faces blushed.

He knew what Mr. Xu meant very well. He was saying that he should not be so accommodating to big names, and that he should not order dishes from others.

In fact, he doesn’t want to do that either, but there’s no other way. After all, audiences are watching celebrities now, and in the few TV dramas he’s directed before, the stars not only play big names when they’re filming, but they also play big names when they’re not filming, let alone It's him, and the whole crew must be careful to serve him.

scold?Even if the performance is not good, I dare not say it directly, and find various reasons to reshoot.

Moreover, he used to work with small fourth- and fifth-tier stars, but now he has to face first-tier and second-tier big stars like Liu Qing, Liu Jiaman, and Fang Yi. As a young director, he dared not scold and train others.

"I know Mr. Xu." Lu Zhihong nodded, but after thinking about it for a while, he asked, "What if they don't listen?"

"Who dares?" Xu Jie stared, his body exuded a murderous look.

Lu Zhihong was taken aback, and after realizing that Mr. Xu was not targeting him, he said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xu, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have never cooperated with such a big-name star, and they used to cooperate with big domestic stars. Directors and well-known directors, my words have no deterrent effect in front of them."

Xu Jie looked at Lu Zhihong strangely and said, "Why do you think so? What's wrong with the big name? Could it be that the big name has three heads and six arms? You are the director, and they are actors. In the crew, the actors have to obey the director's command unconditionally , if you listen to these big names for everything, then why do you need directors and screenwriters? Just let them direct them and write them!"

Lu Zhihong's heart was full of bitterness, that's what he said, but how many directors dare to reprimand the big names in the crew?In the film and television industry, only those big directors dare to do that.

"Mr. Xu, I'm actually not afraid that they won't listen, but I'm afraid that they will turn their backs. If they get stuck, it will affect the progress of the filming, and we will be the losers." Lu Zhihong said.

He has had such an experience. Sometimes when he encounters a sentence that is too deep, the actor will either be passive in filming, or disappear suddenly. In the end, it is the director who is unlucky. Not only will he be scolded by investors, but he will also bow to the actor. I was very aggrieved.

"As a director, you must first have confidence. As long as you are right, don't be afraid of them turning their faces. And don't forget that this time, Beijing TV Culture is the investor. If anyone doesn't cooperate, let them go out immediately. It’s hard to find someone with two legs, there are plenty of actors with two legs, and there are companies to back you up, what are you afraid of?” Xu Jie patted Lu Zhihong on the shoulder vigorously to encourage him.

Lu Zhihong is not only the director of the TV drama department, but also one of the few directors in the company. If Jingshi Culture wants to make a big splash in the film and television industry, it is definitely better to use its own people than outsiders.

If even Lu Zhihong can't stand up to it, then how will Beijing Television Culture make self-made dramas in the future?Forget about direct transformation and investment in film and television dramas.

The creative department is no longer needed, it can be disbanded directly.

Seeing Mr. Xu's encouraging gaze, Lu Zhihong straightened his back involuntarily, and said, "Mr. Xu, I understand. I will be tough."

"Well, that's right." Xu Jie showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Also, during filming, if someone's acting is not good, they should stop immediately, and don't wait until after the filming is over to say The problem is reshoots, whoever acts badly is not acting well, don't worry about them being unhappy, you are not giving them face, you are wasting everyone's time."

"En." Lu Zhihong nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's go back." Xu Jie said.

Lu Zhihong returned to the set and began to reshoot the previous set of shots.

In order to embolden Lu Zhihong, Xu Jie directly took a chair and sat down behind Lu Zhihong. He wanted to see who would dare to play a big role in this crew.

When everyone saw Mr. Xu, although he only came from the periphery to the center, the atmosphere of the whole set changed.

When filming "Lovers in Time and Space", everyone has already seen Mr. Xu's temper. Not only is he vigorous and resolute in his work, but he also treats people equally. No matter who makes mistakes, he will be punished. Who dare not work hard Woolen cloth?

actor?

Actors have to be more serious.

After all, Mr. Xu is the one who has taught Liu Qing to cry.

One must know that when "Lover in Time and Space" was filmed, there was still Sister Yun on the scene, and Mr. Xu's temper would be somewhat restrained. Now, Sister Yun is not here, who else can hold Mr. Xu back?
nobody!
"All the actors cheer me up, concentrate more, put in more effort, and what the director tells you to do, do what the director asks you to do, move more nimbly, don't talk so much nonsense..." Xu Jie said loudly.

Liu Qing's face turned red and green. Although the man didn't mention his name, she felt that he was talking about her.

"Let me tell you, if anyone delays the shooting and delays me playing mahjong with Sister Man at night, don't blame me and Sister Man for being rude, isn't that Sister Man?" Xu Jie looked at Liu Jiaman after speaking.

Liu Jiaman is the actress and the biggest actor in the crew, so he had to pull the other party to his side and let the other party stand on the same front as him.

And by doing so, not only can the other party set an example, but also can set an example for all the actors. Everyone sees that the actress Liu Jiaman is so dedicated, who would have the nerve to play big names?
Liu Jiaman glanced at Xu Jie, who was obviously using her as a weapon.

However, she didn't care too much in her heart. After all, what the other party said was not wrong. Actors should concentrate when filming and listen to the director's instructions. If every actor has his own ideas, how can the filming continue? ?
"Well, that's right." Liu Jiaman agreed, thinking it was helping the other party.

Moreover, she really wanted to call it a day and go home to play mahjong.

Everyone saw it, well, the two bosses have spoken, so hurry up and work seriously.

Xu Jie gave Lu Zhihong a wink, and Lu Zhihong immediately understood, he cheered himself up in his heart, and then changed his smiling attitude before, with a serious and serious expression.

"Every department is ready, the actors are in place...start!"

Lu Zhihong stared at the monitor intently, thinking: Mr. Xu is here, what are you afraid of?In this crew, even if the sky falls, Mr. Xu will stand up for it.

After more than ten seconds, he saw that the actor's performance was unsatisfactory, so he stopped immediately.

"Stop! Liu Qing, your movements should match your expression, and your body should not be so stiff..."

Liu Qing felt uncomfortable after hearing this, why is it her again?
She just wanted to defend herself, and at the same time asked the director how to cooperate, but after seeing Xu Jie sitting behind the director, she swallowed the words again.

Although the man just sat there, he gave her an invisible pressure, as if he was ready to go, as long as she was disobedient, he would immediately give her a heavy blow.

She was also scared by the training, and it could even be said that it left a psychological shadow, so she said obediently: "Well, I know, I will pay attention."

Lu Zhihong had been tense all the time, and when he saw this scene, he immediately relaxed, thinking: It's fine if there's no trouble, it's fine if there's no trouble.

"Okay, let's do it again!" Lu Zhihong said, even his voice was much louder than before.

Maybe it's because the festival just finished, everyone was too relaxed and couldn't get into the state they should have, but after being told by Xu Jie just now, everyone immediately adjusted their mentality, and finally got the filming back on track. The appearance when filming "Lover in Time and Space".

Filming proceeded in an orderly manner.

Although there were some small episodes in the first few scenes, everyone quickly recovered their status. After all, the producers and actors of "Legend of Lan Xi" used the original cast of "Lovers in Time and Space". So the next shooting was also very smooth, only half an hour later than the expected completion time.

"This is the end of today's filming. Everyone, don't forget to come to the set on time tomorrow." Lu Zhihong said, feeling a lot more relaxed.

While other staff members were packing up the equipment, he came to Xu Jie and asked, "Mr. Xu, how did you see the filming today?"

"Well, it's good, just keep this state in the future!" Xu Jie said after hearing this. He was sitting behind Lu Zhihong, and his eyes would inevitably glance at the monitor, so he was still very clear about what was photographed.

In fact, when he was filming the later stage of "Lover in Time and Space", because he was busy with variety shows, and he had already decided to shoot a spin-off series at that time, he often asked Lu Zhihong to be in charge of directing and Gao Xiaobin to check, if he hadn't seen the other party His performance is not bad, and he will not take a huge risk to let the other party be the director of "Legend of Lan Xi".

"Thank you Mr. Xu." Lu Zhihong said gratefully.

He wanted to say something when he heard someone calling Mr. Xu.

"Mr. Xu, let's go!" Liu Jiaman, who had finished removing her make-up, stood on the side of the nanny's car and waved to Xu Jie.

"Got it." Xu Jie stood up.

The work of the crew is over, but his work has just begun.
