This star is a bit cold

In terms of position alone, Gong Zhengyi is indeed the assistant director of the crew of "The Man from Earth", but apart from work matters, Gong Zhengyi has not really read the script of this movie. After all, he is really a helper, in charge of the film. So much to do.
Yes, as a part-time helper, Gong Zhengyi quickly found his position after hearing that his boss promised to give him some benefits. Moreover, the other party did indeed ask for this. He asked a director who has been in the film industry for more than ten years to unconditionally Cooperating with Ye Che, he would do whatever Ye Che asked him to do.

To put it another way, although I got benefits, it is impossible to say that I have no thoughts at all.

After all, I am an old senior and you treat me like your younger brother. Don’t I want to lose face?
It is precisely because of this idea that Gong Zhengyi is really not willing to pay attention to and participate in other matters besides his own duties.

After seeing this, you may feel upset and say nothing. What if you meddle in other people's business and make the other party dissatisfied again?
Gong Zhengyi said that he just wanted to get some benefits and, within the appropriate scope, help Ye Che wipe his butt and teach him something at the same time.

Before the filming of the movie started, Gong Zhengyi really thought so, but after the filming actually started, Gong Zhengyi realized that things were completely different from what he thought.
Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the movie itself. Gong Zhengyi, who had not read the script carefully before, waited until the movie actually started shooting and realized that the script of this movie seemed to be real, and it was not an ordinary movie.
For example, in the beginning of the previous chapter, a group of scholars were chatting normally, but as they were talking, the atmosphere suddenly became more subtle, and when the hero played by Ye Che said something about Emperor Yao and Peng Zu When it comes to the story, not to mention the audience who may see it in the cinema, even the participant Gong Zhengyi felt a numb impulse when he saw this scene.

Perhaps every Chinese person feels the same tremor when certain names that have glorified China for thousands of years are heard.

Just from the previous scenes, Gong Zhengyi felt that this film actually had the characteristics that a good film should have, that is, a good story.

A good story sometimes does have the power to turn something bad into something magical.

And as the filming continued, Gong Zhengyi felt more and more that the script of this movie definitely took a lot of effort, and it was really brilliant!
After the explosive speech of the male protagonist at the beginning, the male protagonist then hesitantly told a long story that sounded unbelievable and absurd at first, but made people feel numb after thinking about it carefully.

That is, what a person who has lived for a full 4000 years has experienced during his years of existence, and what kind of life and thoughts he has.

There is no doubt that the number of 4000 years is so incredible and unbelievable, but if you follow the dialogue of the movie characters, you will find that although you cannot say that the story he tells is true, But you absolutely cannot say that his story is false!
Behind every seemingly incredible narrative, there is strong logical support and knowledge support. With such rigorous logic and rigorous knowledge, even if you ask top scholars in various fields to find fault, they will not find much fault. .

Because all of this is a story that Ye Che found a large number of top scholars, consulted with many parties, and finally put together a story that is theoretically possible and achievable!
If you want to overturn this story, no matter which point you start from, as long as you judge based on the existing knowledge of human civilization, you will basically not be able to find any problems, unless you are confident that you can overturn these already established facts by just one person. It is generally recognized as common sense in the academic community.
You must know that the formation of any such common sense has been studied and studied by countless people. With the support of a large amount of data and physical evidence, it took decades to finally reach a conclusion!
Of course, although Ye Che has been rigorous and careful enough, it cannot be said that there is really no problem at all, but at least under the current scientific system, there are basically no loopholes.

It is precisely because of this strict logic and constant source of accurate knowledge, coupled with the long history of mankind, that the charm bursting out is simply fatal to some viewers!

Nearly halfway through the filming, Gong Zhengyi was almost certain that this film was by no means a bad one. Even if the box office performance might be mediocre, his reputation would definitely make him a god!

In addition to the great shock the script itself gave Gong Zhengyi, the performance of the layman director Ye Che in Gong Zhengyi's eyes almost shocked Gong Zhengyi, an experienced director.

One thing to say is that this kind of shooting with simple scenes and uncomplicated shots does not reflect much of the director's skills. Therefore, Gong Zhengyi did not see any wild ideas or extremely complicated shooting in Ye Che. In fact, it was indeed It was impossible for Ye Che, who was directing and acting himself, to divide himself into two people. While performing, he also had to use fancy lenses.

Therefore, Gong Zhengyi only saw Ye Che's self-evident rigor and precision in his position as director.

It sounds like it is just scripted, but only Gong Zhengyi, an old director, knows that Ye Che really makes all the shots and details just right. Ye Che can also quickly detect the occasional mistakes and make corresponding adjustments. Adjustment.

Making everything just right, a seemingly light sentence, in Gong Zhengyi's eyes, slaps in the face so many half-hearted directors in the film industry, especially the current group of young directors, none of whom have solid basic skills, but work all day long They are all there to come up with some new concepts, play with all kinds of fancy shots, and a lot of ideas that seem to be unreasonable but actually make no sense.

You haven't even been born yet, and you already want to fly?
play?

A real director must have built his own film building based on solid basic skills. A person without a foundation, no matter how talented he is, will not go far on this road.

At least for Gong Zhengyi, this is what a good director looks like.

And from Ye Che, he seemed to really see the shadow of a good director.
Hey, hey, hey, with such solid basic skills, you tell me that you are a director motivated by interest, and you are just playing.
According to your standards, most of the directors in the film industry are not doing their jobs properly?
So are you.
Gong Zhengyi said that he really wanted to hold his forehead and smile bitterly, and then said the above words with a doting look on his face.
Cough
In addition to this, Ye Che's vision in selecting actors really impressed Gong Zhengyi.

When he first learned that all the actors were personally selected by the director Ye Che, Gong Zhengyi was a little dissatisfied. He felt that Ye Che was just a young and ignorant person who wanted to monopolize power and hire people randomly. After all, the components of a movie are so small. If there are many, there will be no shortage of corresponding actors. Can you choose them?

Even if you can choose, do you know what kind of actor is the most suitable?Do you know which actor has a better reputation, has a less scandalous private life, is relatively affordable, has enough schedules, and other things?

Ah!
There are many doorways here!
I guess at the end of the selection, I, the assistant director, will still have to do it myself!
Gong Zhengyi indeed thought so, but it turned out that Ye Che could indeed do it all by himself, and he did it quite well. None of the actors he hired were crotch-stretchers. They were all top-notch masters, and they still had that kind of body. An experienced actor with unique skills and extremely cost-effective performance.Although he may not be famous, his acting skills are indeed top-notch!
As for why Ye Che knew and found this group of people, of course, he carefully selected them with the recommendation of Jiang Guang and other connections. The people finally selected not only had top-notch acting skills, but were also very suitable for each of them. A person's role.

Even Mr. Xu is no exception.

Yes, Ye Che did bring Mr. Xu over for filming, that is, the role of Wei Xianke in the movie.

Gong Zhengyi did think this casting was a bad move at the beginning, but when the filming actually started, Gong Zhengyi really admired Ye Che's vision.

He is obviously a well-known scholar who has never made a movie, but just because Ye Che put him in a suitable position, the final effect was unexpectedly good, and his shocked expression must have been completely true to his feelings. It allows the audience to see their own shadow
Speaking of which, regarding the filming and casting issues, Gong Zhengyi really couldn’t find anything wrong with Ye Che, and even said that he had a slight admiration for him.
But the director's position is naturally not that simple. In addition to what was just mentioned, the director also needs to use the actor's body and emotions, the choice of sight, the scheduling of light, the composition of the picture, the logic of editing, the matching of sound, etc. A person who creates something, presents a certain script on the film and television screen, and then expresses the content of the script, its themes, and artistic connotations to the audience.

If you talk about it in detail, it is indeed a very complicated process. Therefore, although he feels that Ye Che's directorial quality shown so far is not generally high, Gong Zhengyi decided to have a reservation for the time being and is ready to wait and see to see what is going on. .

But wait and see, after another scene was filmed, the actors on the set stopped to rest and prepared to come over for a drink of water. As for Ye Che, he immediately walked towards the camera, ready to take a look. What was the footage of this scene like?

At this time, Gong Zhengyi silently picked up Ye Che's water glass before Su Shibai, the manager, and excitedly took Ye Che's water glass to him under Su Shibai's confused gaze. Go to Ye Che.

When he walked to Ye Che, Gong Zhengyi said enthusiastically: "Director Ye! Thank you for your hard work! Come on, come on, drink some water and rest for a while!"

Su Shibai not far away: "."

Why, there are still people competing with me for the right to deliver water?
You old boy don't want to do this anymore, do you?
As for Ye Che, although he felt that Gong Zhengyi's attitude seemed to be much more enthusiastic than before, Ye Che didn't think much about it. After thanking him, he drank water and looked at the scene just now. Ye Che briefly talked about it first Once, and then when I watched it the second time, just like the previous scenes, I asked Gong Zhengyi, an old man in the world, for advice on some questions.

There is no doubt that Gong Zhengyi's attitude is getting better and better as time goes by.
As for why this happened, Gong Zhengyi just wanted to say that this boy has the qualifications to be a great emperor!
As long as you have some discernment about such a young man who can be seen as a great talent, can you resist not investing in him? !

Unless you are really blind!
In short, Gong Zhengyi said that he invests in his own future
Regardless of whether Ye Che contacted him later as an actor, screenwriter or in other capacities, Gong Zhengyi felt that it was almost the same as pie in the sky.
After all, he is really strong!

While explaining the questions raised by Ye Che, Gong Zhengyi suddenly thought of another thing, which was the current filming progress of their crew.

One day of adaptation, one day of adjustment, and then it entered a high-speed shooting period. On the fourth day, Gong Zhengyi was suddenly shocked to find that before he knew it, they had already shot almost half of the movie!

What is this concept for the film industry?
Let's just say that film production is generally a task that takes months or even years to complete and requires multiple processes.

These processes include steps such as script writing, fundraising, location shooting, set construction, casting, producer direction, props, costume selection, planning, filming, scoring, and editing.Even trivial steps require a lot of time and effort.

And what about the crew of Ye Che's movie?
Although the preparation time may be longer, the actual time spent shooting is really only a few days!

And the most important thing is that the movie Ye Che made is definitely not a bad movie!

He even said that as long as there are no big problems later, if the story continues along this line of thinking and leaves a suitable ending, then this film really has a chance to become a masterpiece in the hearts of some movie fans!

Use the least money and the shortest time to make the most awesome film.
Is that so, Director Ye? !

Precisely because he was a veteran in the film industry, Gong Zhengyi understood even more how outrageous this was. It was as if his outrageous mother had opened the door for him. It was so outrageous.
For Gong Zhengyi, this experience was actually quite magical. He thought he was here to wipe someone's butt and take the blame, but he didn't expect that he was here to witness a rising star of a film director.
The world is too magical, right?

This guy is so young, why on earth is he doing this?
Thinking of this, Gong Zhengyi, who felt quite sad for a moment, first sighed in his heart, then looked at Ye Che again and said:
"Director Ye, is there enough water? If not, I'll pour you some more?" (End of Chapter)
