Chapter 62 The official start of filming

Chen Xi discovered that the launch press conference of "Latent" turned into a "big revelation about the behind-the-scenes problems of Suhuai Satellite TV's "If You Are the One""...

Journalists usually ask questions about topics of interest.

It wasn't until the press officer began to remind that the reporters restrained themselves.

...When the press conference was over, Chen Xi's expression changed a bit.

This kind of thing is really a test.

At this time, Sun Honglei smiled and said to Chen Xi: "Director Chen, how are you? These people are hard to deal with."

Chen Xi smiled wryly and shook her head: "That's quite difficult to deal with."

"Just follow the arrangement at last night's meeting."

Chen Xi said something to the assistant director.

The assistant director, who is also the executive director, is Fan Chenwei whom Chen Xi and the others found before. In fact, Fan Chenwei is also the specific executor of many things in this TV series.

This is the same job that Chen Xi used to do.

Last night, Chen Xi and some important personnel in the crew, including the main responsible personnel of the recording team, camera team, props team, costume team, etc., all convened a meeting.

This meeting is to arrange the next work.

In fact, such meetings may be held frequently in the future, usually at night, and the number of people who come here may not be as many as this time.

Because every meeting is to arrange the shooting work for the next day or even a few days, so those who need to come rush over.

It was the first time for Chen Xi to host such a meeting, but he did not have stage fright at all. With Chen Xi's experience, what he said usually had a sharp feeling.

This opened everyone's eyes...

In fact, in this meeting, many people even wanted to see Chen Xi's bottom line and his ability to control various affairs of the crew... If Chen Xi showed timidity in some places, then I'm sorry, They are very likely to use these places to take advantage of loopholes and reap benefits.

There are too many places that can benefit a crew, and if everyone does it, there will be a lot of profit in the middle, and some people will have no way to deal with it.

Of course, the things in this world are not unique to the crew, and even China is not the only one...

It's like that in many places, everyone gets rich together, that's more important than anything else.

In "The Great Ming Dynasty 1566", Hu Zongxian's classic line described these things vividly: I am in you, and you are in me. Everything in the world is bad here!
For the crew of "Latent", Chen Xi obviously had the final say on everything!

Because without him in the investment, it would be impossible to invest at all. Big things and small things, although everyone can make decisions on small things, but once Chen Xi speaks, he has to obey obediently.

Because of the crew members, these were not always together before, and they were not familiar with each other, so it was difficult to really unite to deal with the director. They were not deeply involved with each other, let alone Chen Xi's two friends, Ye Southeast and Ou Yangzhi, especially Ou Yangzhi, are very thieves, and it is difficult for everyone to take advantage of the loopholes here.

Inside the crew, there are often times full of intrigue like Gongdou, for the sake of profit.

And everyone basically listens to whoever is powerful.

Chinese TV dramas and movies are the same. The saying that producers and directors do not have absolute control is a bit similar to Hollywood. Producers and directors, who has the final say, is more of a game.

For example, Zhang Jizhong, several martial arts films he shot are all as producers, but who doesn't say that they are his works?

He also said that "Looking for a Gun", which was originally directed by Lu Wei, was forcibly made into his own style by Jiang Wen...

And in "Latent", the biggest director is obviously Chen Xi.

Everyone is going to watch Chen Xi...

If he shows timidity in some places, then I'm sorry, they are going to take advantage of the loopholes to make money!
But Chen Xi didn't.

He is very professional in any place, and even has a very transparent direction in speaking, which makes people feel that he has already understood everything to the extreme.

Of course, to be honest, Chen Xi did know all about these things.

In the meeting last night, many people's test results were also achieved, and they came to the conclusion that Chen Xi couldn't be fooled...

Although this guy is young and doesn't seem to have much experience, but he has that ability and that power, so everyone should obey him obediently.

In fact, last night, even Ye Dongnan and Ou Yangzhi looked at each other in blank dismay.

There is a huge difference between Chen Xi and the one in their impression and memory.

He is talking eloquently now, but he doesn't have a word of nonsense, a feeling of berating Fang Qiu rushes towards him.

This Chen Xi was by no means the Chen Xi in their memory.

But this Chen Xi was much stronger.

...The meeting lasted for four hours, and some initial shooting arrangements were roughly determined. If these things were smoothed out, in fact, even if Chen Xi was not on the scene, the crew could operate.In many cases, the director is indeed like this. He provides the general idea for many things, and the next things are left to others.

Under the arrangement of such a meeting, after the opening ceremony, the first scene of "Latent" officially started shooting.

In Hengdian now, the temperature finally dropped a bit, but after the huge light box started to light up, the temperature became a bit high.

Chen Xi began to set up the first scene.

For Chen Xi, these things are already commonplace, and there is no big disturbance at all, so this kind of thinking, because of the fusion of souls, made Chen Xi himself calm as water for what should have been a moment worth remembering.

He just sat in front of the monitor, and through the walkie-talkie, gave orders to some people in an orderly manner, mobilized them to arrange the venue according to his requirements, and then began to prepare for shooting.

The filming of TV series is all done digitally, so there is no problem of wasting film, but Chen Xi has "Latent" in his head, so he won't waste anything.

Although it is said that the TV series are filmed digitally, one more scene will cost the cost of one more scene. Chen Xi also has a very strong advantage in this regard because he has so many memories.

"The first episode of "Latent" is the first time, let's start!"

The recorder knocked down the first board in front of the camera of the monitor, and then, everyone started to take action, and the filming of "Latent" officially started!
Looking at the actors performing and the entire crew in operation, Chen Xi felt in her heart that a huge world was slowly unfolding before her eyes!
