I'm not just a director

Chapter 243 Helping the Apprentice Find a Place

"Inception" started half a month ago, and the crew gradually got on the right track.

In order not to delay the filming progress of the film crew, Jiang Pei'an declined all reporters' interviews and friendly visits to the set.

During the rest of the crew, Jiang Pei'an walked to the lounge, and Liu Tianxian quickly brought up the brewed tea:

"Teacher, drink tea."

Jiang Pei'an took the tea, pointed to the script in her hand, and asked with a smile:

"Thank you Sissy, can you understand the script?"

Liu Tianxian shook his head and said helplessly:
"I know all the words on it, but when they are put together, it makes people feel dizzy."

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an burst out laughing, and said:

"So you can't read the script right away, you must understand the biography of the characters and the setting of the script that I gave you.

Comparing the two, you can probably understand why the script was written in this way. "

Liu Tianxian nodded half understanding, picked up the biography and flipped through it, then said with a bitter face:

"I think so too, teacher, but this biography and related settings are too complicated, and it also involves some philosophical issues."

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Jiang Pei'an smiled and spread his hands, saying:

"Then there is nothing the teacher can do to help you. You have to understand one thing. If you want to be an actor in the future, you must strictly check the script.

Don't accept all movies or TV series, don't waste your time in some crews, and take the high-quality route. "

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Liu Tianxian nodded.

She is still young and has not undergone systematic professional training.

I haven't felt anything about Jiang Pei'an's strict control of the script.

In fact, Liu Tianxian's casting level is really not good.

Except for some costume drama roles that are particularly suitable for her, some modern dramas are simply unwatchable.

Among other things, the movie "To Youth So You Are Here" starring her and Canadian Electric Eel...

"Su Yunjin, what do you owe me here?"

Ferocious expression, exaggerated acting.

Wu Zhi's performance has been played out by the ghost animal up owners of Xiaopozhan!

……

Liu Tianxian stayed with the crew on the second day after the production started.

Everyone in the crew was also used to Jiang Pei'an always following a little girl behind him wherever he went.

The point is that this little girl is really beautiful, even though she is only 15 years old.

But her tall figure and unrefined temperament have made everyone seem to see her beautiful appearance when she grows up.

After asking, I found out that this girl was actually Jiang Pei'an's young apprentice.

While everyone lamented Liu Tianxian's good luck, they also took good care of her.

The little girl speaks good English, and there are foreigners who are responsible for the visual effects of Industrial Light and Magic in the crew.

Although the production team was also equipped with several translators, there were always times when something went wrong, so this girl stepped forward to help translate.

Jiang Pei'an was also happy to see this, and let Liu Tianxian participate in the filming of the crew on a daily basis.

It is to let her be familiar with the filming process of the crew in advance when filming in the future.

At the same time, he also had an eye-opening thought for Liu Tianxian.

In the future, if you join a film crew, you have to be similar to your own film crew, right?
Don't just go in casually when you see a crew, and be fooled by some unscrupulous directors.

This kind of mentality is quite similar to the theory of "daughter is rich and nourishing".

Liu Xiaoli didn't come to the set these days, she only came to pick up her daughter when the set started and finished work.

Needless to say, Jiang Pei'an also knew what Liu Xiaoli was doing during this time.

Liu Xiaoli is a very planned person, since the girl has decided to take the path of acting.

She tried her best to fight for any opportunity for her daughter to appear on the screen.

Although Jiang Pei'an is Liu Tianxian's teacher, as long as Jiang Pei'an didn't ask for a role for Liu Tianxian, Liu Xiaoli would not take the initiative to ask for a role.

So in the past few days, she took her daughter's information and, under the introduction of her friend, delivered it to the crew of the upcoming filming in Beijing.

Jiang Pei'an was well aware of this matter, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Funny, his own movie, can he not give his little apprentice a chance to show his face?
"Okay, Ka, brother, your expression is too serious, try to relax.

Yes, relax the facial muscles, let's walk again. "

Jiang Pei'an sat behind the monitor, looked at Cheng Long on the screen and shouted.

After filming this week, the crew will move to Hong Kong Province to shoot.

According to Jiang Pei'an's plan, "Inception" will be filmed on location in Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Morocco, the United States and other countries.

In fact, it is also possible to use a green screen to cut out pictures, but that is too fake and does not meet his idea of ​​​​big production.

Fortunately, with the experience accumulated during the last filming of "Taken", the crew is immune to going abroad for filming.

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Cheng Long on the stage nodded, his body gradually relaxed, and his expression gradually softened.

Cheng Long's acting skills are still good, but like Zhou Xingchi, his personal style overshadows his own acting skills.

Whenever Cheng Long was mentioned in the early years, the first words that came to people's minds were:

spell!
And as an action and comedian, it is absolutely impossible to just pretend to be crazy and show off kung fu.

With exaggerated body movements and vivid expressions, how to grasp the size is very important.

Too much will be embarrassing, too much and there will be no effect.

A good comedy is not limited to basic acting skills such as movements, facial expressions, lines, etc. If it is unnatural, it is like acting in a sketch.

Aside from action comedies, his acting skills can be seen more clearly in some affectionate movies.

Both the brewing and the outburst of emotions make people feel very natural and unaffected.

The filming of Cheng Long's scene was also very smooth, and soon he finished all the filming.

"How about the director?"

Cheng Long came over and asked with a smile.

Jiang Pei'an played back what he had just shot, and said with a smile:
"This one is over, it's great."

"Okay, are we going to fight Hong Kong this week?"

Cheng Long asked.

"Yes, if everything goes well, it will probably pass this Friday."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Okay, when I arrive in Hong Kong Province, it will be my home game. I invite everyone to drink tea then."

Cheng Long said with a smile.

As Cheng Long is an internationally renowned movie star, when he first joined the film crew, everyone was a little cautious when facing him.

But after getting along with each other for the past few days, everyone can already feel the care that belongs to Cheng Long alone.

From time to time, he will ask his assistant to bring some fruits and drinks for everyone, and he will take care of each other when playing with the group.

The atmosphere of the crew is also getting better day by day.

Jiang Pei'an saw all this. Although there were many negative news about Cheng Long, Jiang Pei'an was a director and not an entertainment industry discipline inspector.

As long as his professional level passed the test, and there were not too many unacceptable aspects of his character, it would be fine.

"Okay, pay attention to all units, transition to filming!"

Jiang Pei'an shouted with a loudspeaker.

The crew immediately began to get busy.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Long was very emotional and said:

"It's not the first time for me to come to the mainland to film, and I have worked with many mainland directors.

But every time I see Director Jiang's crew, I always feel a different spirit. "

Hearing Cheng Long's words, Jiang Pei'an looked at him puzzled.

Cheng Long pointed to the staff members who were moving in an orderly manner, and said:

"Their actions always remind me of a word called order and prohibition...

This is not an exaggeration, it is really like the army, everyone is doing things in one direction with their own duties.

This is a scene that cannot be seen in the Hong Kong and Shenzhen crews. The Hong Kong and Shenzhen crews are too noisy, or most of the crews are like this. "

Jiang Pei'an nodded. The production team in Hong Kong Province is very efficient, and the filming is notoriously fast.

But maybe because of the excessive pursuit of speed, most crews are often flying around during filming, which is very noisy.

It's not that Jiang Pei'an deliberately blackmailed the production crew in Hong Kong Province, even the mainland production crew did the same.

Especially when transitioning...

Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:
"In fact, this is also part of the industrialization of the film industry. When the film industry is constantly developing, many details are often overlooked.

A series of processes such as crew management, equipment management, and professionalization of producers all need to formulate a charter. "

Cheng Long nodded thoughtfully, and said:

"Just like Hollywood."

"Yeah, just like Hollywood."

……

The crew finished work, and Liu Xiaoli rushed to the crew to pick up Liu Tianxian.

Liu Tianxian was following Jiang Pei'an like a little tail.

Seeing Liu Xiaoli coming in, she hurried to her to act like a baby.

"Director Jiang, I'm sorry to trouble you, but this kid didn't cause trouble for you, did he?"

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"No, Sissy was very obedient on the set and helped me a lot."

Liu Xiaoli forced a smile.

Jiang Pei'an secretly noticed that since the moment she came in, her expression was not quite right.

He asked curiously:

"Did something happen?"

"what?"

Liu Xiaoli didn't expect Jiang Pei'an to notice her emotions, she thought about it and said:
"It's not a big deal, I'm looking around at the studio in Beijing...

To tell you the truth, I want Sissy to experience what it's like to be an actress before school starts.

So under the introduction of a friend, she took her resume and sent it to other crews.

Today, a production crew sent me a message back, but they said they had to pay the interview fee first..."

Hearing the back, Jiang Pei'an frowned and asked:

"So you paid the fee?"

Liu Xiaoli shook her head, aggrieved and said:
"This is obviously a liar, of course I didn't pay the fee, but I was a little annoyed by their behavior.

I reasoned with them, and they scolded me. "

Hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, Jiang Pei'an didn't know what to say.

He rubbed his head and asked:
"Which crew is it?"

"I heard it's a CCTV show called "The Family of Gold Fans."

Hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, Jiang Pei'an suddenly raised his head, and then looked at Liu Tianxian.

This drama can be said to be like a thunder, the TV series is very well shot, compared with those TV series of later generations, it is an excellent and classic work.

Even if you haven't watched this TV series, you must have heard the song "Dark Fragrance".

At the same time, this is Liu Tianxian's first drama in the entertainment circle.

Of course, there is also Jiang Pei'an's old acquaintance, Dong Jie.

It can be said that this drama has made both Liu Tianxian and Dong Jie at the same time.

Liu Tianxian was a little dazed and said:

"What's the matter, teacher?"

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:
"It's all right."

In the morning, he was still teaching Liu Tianxian to choose scripts carefully, but in a blink of an eye, this is here.

"The Family of Gold Fans" is a good TV series, although he taught Liu Tianxian some theoretical knowledge.

But just as Liu Xiaoli thought, before Liu Tianxian went to university, he had to be familiar with the road of being an actor.

Although he can arrange for Liu Tianxian to show his face in "Inception", but these two points do not conflict.

In a while, he will move to Hong Kong Province, and then travel to several countries.

You can't keep her with you all the time, even if Liu Tianxian is willing, Liu Xiaoli may not agree.

It happened that during this time, Liu Tianxian could go to the crew of "The Family of Gold Fans".

You must know that the role of Bai Xiuzhu is Bai Yueguang in many people's hearts.

After thinking about it, Jiang Pei'an said to Liu Tianxian with a smile:
"Okay, let's go to the crew of "The Family of Gold Fans" tomorrow.

Let's see what's so good about them, how dare they charge an audition fee for an actor, and even scold them! "

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Liu Xiaoli hesitated and said:

"Director Jiang, don't make this a big deal, I'll be scolded..."

Before Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, Jiang Pei'an waved his hand and interrupted:
"It's not a matter of making a big mess. Since they dare to do it, don't be afraid of people coming to them."

Seeing that Jiang Pei'an was determined to stand up for herself, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help feeling a warm current flow through her heart.

"Then thank you Director Jiang."

"Small thing."

……

The next day, Jiang Pei'an asked Zhu Decheng to hold the camera, while he asked the crew for half a day off.

He took Liu Xiaoli and Liu Tianxian to the audition crew of "The Family of Gold Fans".

When Jiang Pei'an rushed to the crew of "The Family of Gold Fans", producer You Jianming and director Li Dawei were smoking in the office.

"The roles are almost settled, but there is one role that has not been found for the right person.

I have been auditioning non-stop for the past two days..."

Li Dawei said anxiously.

Li Dawei is also a well-known director. Before "The Family of Gold Fans", he directed "Blooming Joy" and "Hero Zheng Chenggong".

But if you want to talk about his famous point, besides "The Family of Gold Fans", he and Jiang Qinqin had a relationship.

Opposite him is You Jianming, but he has a lot of background. This person worked hard in Hong Kong Province in his early years.

Connected to future generations, a total of more than 1000 episodes of film and television dramas have been jointly produced and produced, and many of them have won the ratings championship.

"Little Li Flying Knife", "Chinese Heroes" and "The Family of Gold Fans" are all his representative works.

You Jianming smoked heavily, saying:
"We have to hurry up. The machine will start up in May. With such an important role as Bai Xiuzhu, it can't always be empty."

Li Dawei said:

"If it doesn't work, just find some well-known movie stars. Although it's a bit expensive, it's still worth paying for."

You Jianming shook his head and said:
"Money is not a problem, the biggest problem now is that actors must fit the role..."

The two were talking, when suddenly a staff member came in from outside and said:
"Director You, Director Li, someone named Jiang Pei'an wants to see you."
