Chapter 63 Apprenticeship·Growth
Xiao Jian made a mistake that most rookie directors would make, that is, he did everything himself, and sometimes even directed the crew to work over the heads of various departments, which showed that Xiao Jian and the heads of various departments of the crew did not have a tacit understanding.

If it were other new directors, they would have been scolded bloody by the heads of various departments, saying that he was pointing nonsense.Naihe Xiaojian still has two brushes. Under his command, the film crew produced good results. All the team leaders can only hold their fire in their hearts and become passive and sabotage.

Originally, Xiao Jian had to spend a lot of time teaching the young actors to rehearse the scenes. Although the actors didn’t NG often, it seemed that the filming was very fast, but usually for a 1-minute scene, at least one hour of practice was required.In addition, he has to play a role in almost all departments such as setting, lighting, photography, costume, modeling, etc., and the official shooting time per day is very short, less than four hours.It took three days to finish filming the childhood scenes of the hero and heroine.

As soon as Xiao Jian sent off the two children, Sun Bijuan and Zhao Wenhao, who had already wrapped up, Huang Bo pulled him aside: "Jianzi, don't you realize that the crew is not normal now?"

Xiao Jian is a smart person, and he has been doing this for so many years, and he has been a director twice, how could he know that the crew is not normal.It's just that he doesn't have a solution for the time being. Young actors must be taught, and all departments must also shoot according to their own ideas, so as to achieve what he wants.

It seems that the contradiction that the film is getting slower and slower cannot be resolved, and now he regrets why he didn't find a few professional assistant directors to share his work for him.

"Of course I know it's not normal, and I'm also anxious, but what can I do? The little guys have to rehearse. I'm the only one who can direct the crew and no one will help me share it. How about you help me?"

"If I want to be half as good as you, I would have already become a director." Huang Bo said mysteriously: "But you are not the only one who can direct in the crew, there is someone who is better than you, hehe."

"Is there anyone else who will direct? Who?" Xiao Jiansi thought over and over again but never thought of who else would direct the play. "Who is it? Brother Xun, haven't you heard him talk about this?"

Huang Bo shook his head: "Of course not, think again."

"Could it be Brother Quan Guohong, the cameraman? He said a few days ago that he wanted to learn to be a director. Could it be that he would?"

"No, guess again."

"I can't guess it." Seeing Huang Bo's triumphant look, Xiao Jian evilly pinched his neck and said, "Quickly tell me, will you tell me?"

Huang Bo's face turned red, and he managed to break free from Xiao Jian's grasp, "Damn it, you want to kill someone, why don't I tell you, it's Mr. Xie you picked up in the park."

"He, don't be kidding, he is just a retired old man. Well, he still has some official authority and maybe he was a cadre before retirement." Xiao Jian shook his head.

Huang Bo put away his smile and said seriously: "Xie Tieli, don't say you haven't heard of this name before."

"Xie Tieli? The name is quite familiar." Xiao Jian tried hard to recall, but suddenly he remembered the origin of the name, opened his eyes and said incredulously: "Don't tell me, Mr. Xie is the Xie Tieli from the film industry. Father."

Huang Bo laughed and said, "Nonsense, who else could he have."

"My mother's second uncle and grandma, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that I could even pick up treasures during morning exercises in the park."

"..."

Outside the door of the room where Mr. Xie lived, Xiao Jian retreated a little, "Bozi, it's not good for me to go like this? Will it disturb others?"

"Do you still want to finish filming your maiden work?"

Xiao Jian: "Think."

"Then there is no hesitation, not everyone has such a good opportunity to accept the teaching of Mr. Xie." After knocking on the door, Huang Bo ran away without loyalty, leaving Xiao Jian outside the door.

"Who, come in without locking the door." Mr. Xie's voice came from inside, Xiao Jian pushed the door hard and went in.

"Thank you, sir." Xiao Jian stood with his legs together and shouted respectfully.

Xie Tieli glanced at Xiao Jian, knowing that Huang Bo had already told him his identity, so he said flatly, "You know everything?"

"Understood, boy, I don't know Taishan with my eyes, so please forgive me, Mr. Xie."

"I should apologize. Although I'm a bad old man, I haven't retired yet. I'm still the director of Beijing Film Studio."

The old man is more than 80 years old and still doesn't recognize his old age, Xiao Jian thought to himself, and said with sincerity on his face: "The old man is right, it's all the kid's fault."

Xie Tieli seemed very dissatisfied with Xiao Jian's apology, "Is this the end?"

Xiao Jian really didn't know what to do. The reason why he had such a good attitude was because of his respect for the older generation of filmmakers like Mr. Xie.At this time, Huang Bo came in with tea and handed it to Xiao Jian, motioning him to offer tea to Mr. Xie.

Xiao Jian had no choice but to raise the tea with both hands and handed it to Xie Tieli, "Thank you for the tea."

Xie Tieli: "Huh?"

Huang Bo kicked him lightly in the back, "Call me teacher."

Xiao Jian had no choice but to shout again: "Teacher, please drink tea."

"Well, although Jane's etiquette is a bit crude, let's accept it." Xie Tieli squinted his eyes, took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Accept? Accept what?" Xiao Jian was stunned, but it was Huang Bo who reminded him: "Congratulations Jianzi, not everyone can be a student of Mr. Xie." Only then did he realize that he had become a student of Mr. Xie for no reason.

An 80-year-old old man and a good brother even sold themselves in partnership.

"Who else can I trust in this world?" Xiao Jian shouted.Well, in fact, he was secretly happy, "Damn, I finally hugged my thigh."

Xiao Jian convened a meeting of all the heads of various departments of the crew, and solemnly introduced Xie Tieli to everyone present, and publicly announced that Mr. Xie would be hired as the producer (this is the highest position in the crew that Xie Tieli was willing to accept, Xiao Jian originally wanted to give up the position of director I came out to be the director myself, Xie Lao did not agree).

Everyone was shocked, who would have guessed that there was a film industry expert hidden in the crew.Next, Xiao Jian solemnly apologized to all the team leaders sitting here: "I'm sorry everyone, because of my lack of experience, I have caused a lot of trouble to everyone's work these days. I hereby solemnly apologize to everyone."

The heads of various departments have said that it has nothing to do with it.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Jian announced today's shooting task, and explained to the team leaders such as photography, props, lighting, and modeling what kind of effect he needs to achieve in today's shooting situation.

At this time, Xiao Jian has more skills than other directors, and the advantage of being proficient in painting is reflected. He draws a sketch to clearly express things that cannot be expressed clearly in words.

The above is the first lesson Xie Tieli taught Xiao Jian, "Trust and Communication".

The director is the conductor of the crew, and his duty is to direct the heads of various departments in the crew to make the crew work and shoot what they want.Xie Tieli asked Xiao Jian to believe in the abilities of the team leaders, maybe they are not worse than him?
Good communication with each other is also essential, and it is very important for the director to accurately tell them his intentions.

To be honest, Xiao Jian was still a little apprehensive at the beginning, but after the filming started, he found that although it was a little different from what he thought in his heart, it did not affect the effect.In this way, Xiao Jian only needs to be responsible for the rehearsal tasks of the small actors other than the director, which is not only much easier, but also the shooting speed is much faster.

Xiao Jian benefited a lot from Xie Tieli's continuous teaching, and he quickly grew up to be a qualified and excellent director.
