Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 319 What kind of prop is this? This is money burning

"..."

Xu Nian, who has experienced many startups, is very familiar with the process.

It's all a simple operation like this.

When Yao Xiang first joined the group, he didn’t even have any extra thoughts about this metaphysical aspect.

Unlike now, looking at the perfunctory expression, you can tell that Mr. Xu doesn't take it to heart at all.

Nothing else, the past was before and the present is now. The difference is... now there is nothing to fear.

If you have strength, there is no need to believe in any metaphysics.

A simple example, has anyone ever seen an immortal praying to God?Or to put it more simply, has anyone ever seen the police call the police?
This is a manifestation of strength.

No matter how smooth the opening ceremony was, if the filming was not good, even with Xu's golden signature, the film would still have to be rushed.

It's that simple.

Former classmate Xu Nian was submissive when it came to metaphysical procedures, for fear of delaying the luck of the crew;

Now Mr. Xu is careless in the metaphysical process, and it doesn't matter at all. The crew's luck depends on their strength!

Probably Mr. Xu's attitude is quite contagious. Whether it's his old acquaintance Li Cheng, Zhuang Hui who scored twice, or the newbie Chen Yifan, they all have a relaxed and carefree look.

Not serious at all.

The actors were quite worried.

Also includes Xu Nian.

As soon as the ceremony ended, Mr. Xu looked left and right, and immediately sighed: "People's hearts are not as old as they used to be."

"Director Li, you have been so perfunctory with this traditional process. If The Wandering Earth fails at the box office, it must be because you are not sincere."

In this regard, Li Guoguo said bluntly: "The pot is too big for me to carry."

"Look, look, don't be so melancholy. Director Li said he took the blame." Xu Nian waved his hand, "You have to believe Director Li."

"Strength is king."

Li Cheng: "..."

He suddenly felt that he should not know Xu.

This guy is really focused on being irrelevant.

Even a few unfamiliar actors showed a little worry in their demeanor, and they all blamed him.

It was as if he, Li Cheng, had taken the lead in this perfunctory attitude. Although he, Li Cheng, did not care that much, but...

Who is the director? !
Does this crew have any rules anymore on this set?
Shouldn't it be you, Xu, who took the initiative to take the blame for this situation?

You obviously did it too!

Anyway, right now, if nothing else, the actors who can participate in the opening ceremony are more dumbfounded than the last.

Watching Mr. Xu suppress the director, I felt that the facts turned out to be more outrageous than the rumors...

The group of people walked to the set where the scenery had been completed, and Xu Nian spoke again: "They are all new faces. Director Li, don't you want to introduce them?"

Li Cheng: "..."

He wanted to curse again.

Originally, he planned carefully to introduce the good actors to Mr. Xu after the opening ceremony.

As a result, Mr. Xu interrupted him casually, and his emotions became completely incoherent.

Even this kind of thing was forgotten.

Fortunately, Li Cheng is also a weathered person and reacts very quickly. He has already put on a smile and introduced in the middle: "This is Han Duoduo, a Chinese opera student."

After a brief pause, Li Chengcai continued: "The character played is Han Duoduo."

Okay, okay, this is how you look for actors, right?
Names like 'Duoduo' are indeed common, it's not surprising, but...the last name is the same, so you can look for actors based on the role list, right?

Then Li Cheng briefly introduced the other three actors.

The young man who plays Li Yiyi.

Plays Wang Lei's young brother.

Playing the role of Zhou Qian's young lady.

The whole play actually doesn't require many actors because the overall narrative is actually relatively simple.

Even the few artists who came to the scene may not have played roles recently, they just came to get familiar with each other.

The main thing is that they are not the Dragon Movie King, so they can wait until the official filming of the character scenes begins.

That's right, Movie Emperor Long didn't come.

It’s not that Movie Emperor Long doesn’t want to come to the opening ceremony, nor is it because he’s so competitive about this or that, it’s just... Movie Emperor Long fell down recently.

It is said that he was drinking with friends one day and fell down accidentally when he went downstairs. Fortunately, he was strong and it only took ten and a half months to heal this little thing.

What Xu Nian didn't expect was that at the end, Li Cheng specially introduced himself: "Xu Nian, everyone should know him."

"When we are on the set, we usually call him Second Uncle, and outside the set, we usually call him Mr. Xu."

"You have also seen that he is a small-minded person, so please be more patient."

Xu Nianquan pretended not to hear and shook hands with everyone one by one and said, "Hello, hello."

"I wish you a happy cooperation."

"Mr. Xu is good."

"..."

Although Li Cheng was chattering about this and that, everyone present knew it was a joke.

Didn't listen at all.

According to the general habits in the circle, there will never be any problems.

Anyway, he can still joke like this, so Mr. Xu will not be difficult to get along with no matter what.

The truth is not bad either.

Mr. Xu is very approachable and can talk and laugh with anyone without restraint.

Coupled with his handsome face, it is very refreshing~
…………

After a round of greetings and getting to know each other, everyone came to a corner of the set.

It's almost the scope of the monitor area.

Further forward... is the set area where the staff are busy. After all, it is a science fiction film, and there are almost no realistic framing shots.

They are all set shots.

Xu Nian glanced briefly and looked away without seeing any more specific props.

Then he put his hands on his hips, looked around, and then asked his biggest doubt at the moment: "Where is Xu Qi's actor?"

"No."

"?"

"I didn't find it."

"What do you mean?"

"..."

Xu Nian frowned slightly when he saw that one of Li Cheng, Zhuang Hui, and Chen Yifan was indifferent, one answered directly, and the other spread his hands.

Xu Nian laughed and said, "What? Are you trying to watch people's emotions in this scene? That's not right. You need to be able to read people's minds, right?"

"I don't have that power either."

In response, Zhuang Hui and Chen Yifan just looked at Xu Nian eagerly and said nothing.

Then Li Chengcai came over with a smile on his face and said, arm-in-arm, "Don't you have to rely on the second uncle to work hard?"

"We worked hard for half a month and got nothing."

"After thinking about it, I always feel that we are trying to find a sword, and finally found that the most suitable person is right in front of us."

"Second uncle, think about it, how invincible it is for one person to play two roles? And there are two protagonists!"

"There is no precedent in the world for a film of this kind."

"With the interpretation of the first part and the connection of the second part, you can play multiple stages of life by yourself;
Teenager, young man, mature man, middle-aged...

And the beginning is the performance of teenagers and middle-aged people. Looking around the world, no one can perform such an outstanding performance at the same stage! "

"Even if you don't win any Best Actor trophy, you will still be the uncrowned king among actors."

"Anyone who comes to see you must lower his eyebrows..." "..."

This was the first time that Xu Nian discovered that Li Cheng was really fast-talking. It was no wonder that he was deceived by this guy into filming when he just wanted to retire peacefully.

He looked at Li Cheng and sighed: "It would be a waste if you don't go to sales for your talk."

"That's not how you save money, right? If you save money, you'll end up playing two roles for me?"

"I don't have enough brains to play like this."

Li Cheng hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's easy. Just think of it as filming two movies."

"And you tried it during Infernal Affairs. In fact, it's almost just two life experiences of one person."

"Think about it. Only when you completely become the father and son will you know the bond and..."

"Okay, okay, I'll act." Xu Nian interrupted Li Cheng, "If you keep talking, I will be sent to heaven by you."

It's really a bit too outrageous.

It's really free to say good things.

Xu Nian is really too lazy to be verbose. Anyway, it is not that he has never played two roles.

There are only so many scenes together.

It doesn't matter anymore.

It doesn't matter that Li Cheng is good at compliments and Mr. Xu likes to hear good things.

It's just that Xu Nian, as the largest investor, really has no choice about some things.

If you get to this level, you deserve it.

Ugh……

Don't blame it. The only good person left in Blue Star is Xu. Look, after all, he is the one who has shouldered everything.

Not too lazy to think about it, Xu Nian simply asked: "Which part should I shoot first today?"

Li Cheng didn't even think about it, and Ma Liu replied: "It's Xu Peiqiang's."

"Okay, let's start work." Xu Nian made a decision with a wave of his hand.

Zhuang Hui on the side picked up the loudspeaker very familiarly and shouted: "Executive Director, Executive Director, work has started!"

"I'm coming……"

"Props! Props... Hurry and prepare!"

"..."

The whole set immediately started to move.

Others didn't know it, but they were stunned by Han Duoduo and others who had just joined the crew.

Especially Han Duoduo, she has just entered college and is not a child star. She has only served as a background panel in advertisements before.

I never imagined that my first movie would be chosen by The Wandering Earth, which is rumored to be the most luxurious and high-standard movie in recent years.

And from a positioning perspective, it belongs to the role of a heroine.

What was even more unexpected was that when she entered the group, she saw the man who could be said to be her dream and that of all the girls she knew... Mr. Xu.

Thanks to Mr. Xu's lively performance in public itineraries, Han Duoduo was only surprised that Mr. Xu was as good as his name.

However, due to various factors such as school and major, Han Duoduo knew that there must be various hidden rules within the crew of such a large-scale production.

I knew I was going to start the game a few days ago and I have been doing some mental preparation.

Fortunately, the school teachers and the elders in the family were very good at comforting people and gave her a lot of advice and experience.

then……

Now she suddenly realized that this set seemed completely different from all the rumors and experiences of her predecessors.

Li Cheng, the leader of the new generation of Chinese-language directors who is rumored to be a tyrant on the set, is very peaceful.

Rumor has it that Zhuang Huizhuang is very serious in his behavior and does not speak much. He seems to be quite kind.

Director Chen Yifan, who is rumored to have studied in Hollywood, has a very strong execution ability and a vigorous style, always has a smile on his face and looks honest and honest.

That's all.

The most incredible thing is that the directors don't seem to have the right to speak on the set.

Why is it that Mr. Xu decides on the actual start of construction?

Why is Mr. Xu’s words so effective?

Don’t they say that these directors don’t care whether you are top-notch or not?

Not to mention Xu Nian, don't even big shots like Actor Long follow the director's arrangements on the set?

This……

Why has the actual situation changed?

Is it true...that the rumor that Mr. Xu is the second uncle on the set is true?

And it's not an exaggeration, it's just a case where the right to speak is not described?

Young Han Duoduo was completely confused.

It is also a pity that Han Duoduo and Meng Chao are not familiar with each other now, otherwise Meng Fangu would definitely come forward to deceive the young Han Duoduo.

…………

"We're about to change costumes. How about taking a look at the props first?" Li Cheng thought for a while and said to Xu Nian, "We've really been busy these past few months."

Xu Nian nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'm always curious."

All he was looking forward to today was seeing the props.

As for the first scene... it was easy to catch. It's not like everyone is paying attention today, but no one is watching, so the scene can't be complicated.

I don’t believe in metaphysics, but there is nothing wrong with asking for a good jackpot.

It's important, Xu Nian has never been a person of ordinary acting, he is a person of natural character.

The main theme is ordinary and commonplace.

It comes naturally.

Soon, the person in charge of the crew's props came over to lead everyone to visit the props: "This is the costume area."

"The costumes and props are basically in place. Several categories are here, such as space suits, space uniforms, etc."

"I have made certain reference for the size, and the fit is very good..."

Speaking of the fit...the one for the main character is almost the same as a custom-made one.

It’s not just a simple fit anymore.

However, Xu Nian has a high proportion of scenes. The contestant who must wear special clothes in every scene is a clothes hanger.

If necessary, there is no need to pursue private customization.

The person in charge of the props continued: "This is another form of clothing, an exoskeleton protective suit. Thanks to the Hollywood science fiction industry chain, it is not difficult to produce;

The disadvantage is that it is already very lightweight, but the heaviest one is still up to 60 kilograms. Fortunately, we have found a solution, but we will not know how it will work until we try it on site. Next, you may have to stick to fitness. "

After a pause, the person in charge said enthusiastically: "It doesn't look like that. In fact, it is essentially different from similar products seen in movies in the past;

For example, it is much simpler to wear, much lighter, and in the extreme case, it is more than half lightweight, and the photogenic effect is even better.

Therefore, the cost is much more expensive than before, starting from 30 yuan per set. "

All the actors, including Xu Nian, were shocked. Such simple props were a bit scary.

According to the number of protective clothing that can be seen in front of us, almost 1000 million are gone.

But it must be said that from this situation, it can be seen that the development of the times has indeed affected many aspects.

In the past, it was difficult for science fiction films to have such good props and equipment, and many scenes were solved by the actors themselves.

For example, in Iron Man's cool-looking scene, the actor's entire body is actually buried in a special reflective material.

It's ten times easier now.

At least it's easy to get the similarity in appearance. As for the similarity in spirit...that's a matter in the field of true science.

Later, Xu Nian and the others saw many preparations made by the crew in the early stage. Just these basic prop display areas have burned more than 2000 million.

The real set props on the set are not even included.

As for the special effects... there may be as many as 5000 special effects shots. Taking into account the cost of time compression, it will be a real waste of money.
