Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 222 Shooting
Soon, it was the third day.

Make an appointment with the crew for the filming date.

On this day, Li Rui and two shop assistants arrived at the shop on the pedestrian street very early in the morning. In addition to preparing the shooting location and props, he also unlocked a new delicacy, malatang.

I want to make the soup in the morning.

Maybe it will come in handy today.

Director Wang Bo has not yet specified the food that the shop will provide, saying that he wants to let Li Rui express himself freely.

So Li Rui bought a lot of ingredients,

The shop started to be busy from early in the morning.

Things in the store were almost done, and Li Rui began to assign work to the two employees.

Comrade Xiao Ma is familiar with the environment in the store and is responsible for following the crew's photographer to shoot.

In addition, there was a lack of an electrician, so Li Rui asked the young man:

“Can you be an electrician?”

"I can turn on the light bulb." Xiao Han's answer was very honest.

But the electrical appliances and circuits in Li Rui's store have always been well maintained by Xiaodong. An electrician is probably just there to keep things going and help find the socket strip.

At this time, the extras who had been contacted earlier also began to rush to the shop one after another.

Most of the people who come to the store are familiar faces, and they are not even strangers to each other.

So we became familiar with each other quickly.

"It's my first time being an extra, I'm a little nervous."

"If I do it too many times, will I get scolded?"

"If I were on TV, my eating manners might be a little indecent."

Li Rui comforted everyone, "Don't be nervous, just act as yourself, the director should be satisfied."

People are also very grateful to Boss Li for giving them the opportunity to come here for a free meal and experience the atmosphere of filming.

Of course they are most curious.
Or how Li Rui got involved with the crew.

Li Rui then told the story that happened a few days ago.

Everyone chatted, picked their favorite seats, and surrounded Boss Li in the kitchen.

Gradually, they began to get into the roles and started to build relationships with each other.

"In a little while, we'll be good buddies."

"Then we are colleagues and can eat together."

Li Rui couldn't match their online names before, but this time he matched them with real people.

Several customers smiled and exclaimed:
"You should be more careful when speaking next time."

"What are you afraid of?"

Xia Yu was also present.

The extras were so excited that they arrived earlier than the filming crew.

When Director Wang arrived at the shop with a filming crew of 20 to 30 people, the shop was already very crowded.

The small shop became a film set.

Everything was left to him to command.

Wang Bo skillfully carried out various preparations before the filming and directed with a small loudspeaker.

"The props are in place, let's adjust the lighting."

“The actors and actresses get into character.”

He also personally explained the play to the extras.

"There's not much drama in this scene, so just be natural when eating. The atmosphere in the shop is always good, so just don't think about acting."

"Just eat it."

"Yes, that's right. We can chat with each other, just like we usually do when we eat in a restaurant."

Although Wang Bo was very professional on the set and had very strict requirements for the shoot, he was not arrogant when communicating with people.

He checked the camera position, the positions of the extras, the male and female leads, and confirmed the lighting and scenery again and again.

When I glanced across the kitchen,
Wang Bo noticed that Boss Li was the only one left inside.

"Boss, do you still have a waiter in your store? I remember there was someone inside before."

Li Rui replied: "I am busy with the crew."

Wang Bo nodded and called a customer who was performing in the crowd, "Little girl, put on the clothes hanging there and make up the number."

Xia Yu pointed at himself, "Me?"

"Yes, it's you." Wang Bo felt that she might steal the show, so he arranged for her to move into the kitchen.

So Miss Xia Yu put on her work clothes and came to the oven where Li Rui was.

She whispered, "Boss Li, I haven't cooked with you for a long time." Li Rui looked at the flashing orange warning light on the side panel of the refrigerator and felt relieved.

Red will explode.
Orange is relatively safe.

Of course, Wang Bo's focus is still on the male lead Wu Qingnian.

"Have you memorized your lines?"

"Uh-huh."

"Child, grasp the character's inner transformation and act naturally. When she says to chase, you should first show a little hesitation and then follow her. Just like that, look at me."

As he spoke, he demonstrated it to Wu Qingnian.

"Don't worry, Uncle Bo."

Wang Bo waved at him, motioning him to take his seat.

But I can't rest assured.

Soon, all preparations were ready.
After a trial shoot, the official shooting began in the store.
-
Policewoman: "I've been studying hearts with you all night. I really want to eat roasted chicken hearts."

The forensic doctor shook the skewers in his hand and said:
"I don't understand why humans have to invent so many ways to process food, which greatly affects human eating efficiency. If it were me, I would definitely invent a capsule that can be eaten to directly obtain energy, avoiding the trouble of buying food, cooking and eating."

The leading actress' acting skills were always on point, and there were no problems.

The male lead's performance with facial paralysis roughly corresponds to the character of the forensic doctor. The director was quite satisfied with the effect and did not call for cut.

After the male and female protagonists finished their lines, another set of cameras began to shoot the next scene - the suspect passed by.

The camera followed the heroine as she turned her head away speechlessly, then moved from the customers in the shop to a suspicious figure outside.

Cut back to the store scene.

At this time, the male protagonist could not put down his food and was eating it with relish at the dining table.

The female police officer hurriedly gestured to the male protagonist outside the door: "Does that person look familiar to you?"

"Oh my god, it's him!"

The heroine said "Chase!"

Then he quickly ran out of the store.

The male protagonist showed a dilemma on his face, then he put the skewer into his mouth, and chased after him outside the store with a "hissing" sound.
-
This interaction between the male and female protagonists,

It is mainly to reflect the cold and ruthless character of the male forensic doctor, who gradually develops a love for daily life under the influence of the female protagonist.

What Wang Bo was most worried about was that the actor Wu Qingnian would always have a paralyzed face and would not be able to perform this small contrast.

But this time, when Wu Qingnian pulled the skewer down and hurriedly chased after him, a red mark was left on the corner of his mouth, which made Wang Bo feel relieved for the first time.

This guy seems to be quite dedicated.

He picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, "Okay, okay, it's one take, thank you actors for your hard work."

The crew members felt relieved.

I thought I would have to repeat it several times, but I didn't expect it to be so easy.

This is the first time I’ve felt so relaxed since the start of filming.

The actress at the store door stopped after hearing the director's words. She turned around and gave Wu Qingnian behind her a thumbs up.

She is just a third-tier actress and cherishes every play she performs.

The script of this drama is very good, although the filming process was very difficult because I had to act opposite the actor Wu Qingnian.

But for the investor's own son, she could only cooperate seriously and reshoot the scene over and over again.

Today's shooting went so smoothly that she found it hard to believe.

My thumbs up to Wu Qingnian comes from the bottom of my heart.

Wu Qingnian raised an eyebrow at the actress.

At this time, the heroine noticed the corner of his mouth and asked with concern:
"Qingnian, your mouth was burned, are you okay?"

"It's okay. Director Wang just told me to keep this look."

In fact, the most surprising thing when I heard the director say "one take" was

It’s still Wu Qingnian himself.

Wu Qingnian felt that his acting skills had not been fully utilized at all. He had just started to get into the role when Director Wang called him out.

The grilled skewers in this restaurant are really delicious. I hope the spicy hot pot will be cold when I go back.

Am I really a filming genius?
Damn, why does the corner of my mouth feel hot?

The filming crew turned outside the store to continue filming the next scene.

The lighting staff gradually left the store.
The extras inside also whispered:
"Oh my god, it only took one take to pass? TV dramas are so easy to film."

"Yesterday I heard from the crew that in addition to the meals, there is also money to be taken."

"Is that the forensic drama they're filming? Suddenly I feel like Wu Qingnian's acting is pretty good, too?"

"There's no need to act. Okay, when they suddenly called me out while we were eating skewers, I had the same reaction."
