Chapter 65

"Director Chen!" This is what many actors, even some old actors, call Chen Xi from the bottom of their hearts.

Although he doesn't seem to be well-known and has no works, his ability in movies is beyond the reach of many people who have made a name for themselves in China.

Even a well-known and capable actor like Sun Honglei admired Chen Xi a lot.

From the beginning when he came to Chen Xi's crew with a bit of repulsion, until now, he is willing.

And I also have very bright expectations for this TV series.

... Now, Chen Xi looked at the replay of the previous scene and felt that there was something wrong.

Sun Honglei's performance is a bit exaggerated, but this shot is very important.

However, he had asked Sun Honglei to retake the film five times before, so it would be a bit inconvenient to say it now.

After all, Sun Honglei is not a fledgling rookie, and has already become famous.

And Chen Xi, after all, has no qualifications.

"Director Chen, what's wrong?"

In the crew, at some point, Ye Dongnan and the others habitually called Chen Xi as Director Chen.

Chen Xi frowned: "It still doesn't work, I have to shoot again."

"Or...it's almost enough."

Ye Dongnan also felt a little bit troubled: "I have retaken five times before, so it doesn't need to be so accurate?"

For the big-name actors in the crew, sometimes it really feels like asking God to come, and then you have to be careful.

Fortunately, this was Sun Honglei. If it was Chen Daoming, it would be difficult to say the third time.

This is not just making movies or TV series, and they are such big-name actors that they dare not make trouble at all.

Chen Xi hesitated.

But just for a moment...

He stood up from behind the monitor and came to Sun Honglei, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Sun, I'm really sorry... But the scene just now, um, I still didn't feel it."

Saying these words, Chen Xi's heart was full of longing for the future status.

If he were actors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, of course I would have no problem getting them to shoot more than 40 pieces.

But that's all the future, and now he can only use a negotiating tone.

Sun Honglei's face changed slightly.

He concealed it quickly, but was still caught by Chen Xi.

"Isn't that okay just now?" In his tone, of course he was very happy. It's not that he was unprofessional, it's just that it was very difficult to encounter such a situation when he was filming TV in the past.

Chen Xi was under a lot of pressure.

Then, he still smiled: "I'm sorry, but I really want to take another shot, just to restrain myself a little bit. One shot should be enough."

Sun Honglei's assistant suppressed his anger, and said to Chen Xi: "Director Chen, this is not a movie after all, it's almost there, right?"

Celebrity assistants sound good, but in fact, most celebrity assistants work as full-time nannies and get everything.

However, the status of an assistant to a big star is obviously different.

The third-rank official of the prime minister's concierge, this is not a joke.

But Chen Xi ignored him now, just watching Sun Honglei's reaction.

"Okay, it's okay, this is what I should do." Sun Honglei smiled. He was an actor, and he couldn't refuse these things.

Sun Honglei's assistant bit his lip, very angry.

But Sun Honglei had already spoken, so she naturally couldn't say anything.

Another shoot begins...

Finally, this time, it's over.

...The filming is carried out in such a process.

In the afternoon, Chen Xi had a working meal with everyone.

Although the budget was very tight, and there was a feeling of overspending in some places, Chen Xi did not skimp in the slightest on all the actors.

When you are full, you will have the strength to work.

This is what Chen Xi believes in.

Therefore, the working meal is very rich, and it is not as bad as the notorious working meal of other crews...

While eating, Chen Xi suddenly encountered another matter, threw down the chopsticks, walked outside, and worked for a long time to solve the matter.

When he went back to eat again, Ye Dongnan also came to squat with him.

The two squatted by the corner, eating while talking.

Although, in Ye Dongnan's heart, Chen Xi's image has changed a lot, but they are still friends.

It's not like the ancient emperors who were lonely and widowed, like Chen Xi, even if he reaches the status of Zhang Yimou or even Li An, he can still have true friends.

Ou Yangzhi came over, looked at the two of them, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "You two are just like migrant workers...this sitting posture... eat while pulling."

"Get lost." Ye Dongnan stood up and kicked him: "What's wrong with the migrant workers? The wages of migrant workers are very high."

Now Ou Yangzhi came to Chen Xi's side, his voice was a little low, as if he was suppressing: "Chen Xi, you impress me today."

"What?" Chen Xi asked vaguely with food in her mouth: "I've always been excellent, am I outstanding?"

"I'm talking about Sun Honglei...that situation, I guess, another experienced director wouldn't be able to explain it. You really said it."

Chen Xi swallowed the meal, threw the lunch box in the trash, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said while wiping: "That's no way, my own TV series is equivalent to my son, it's better not to have any flaws, my It’s a normal state of mind.”

"It's normal, but in that case, you dare to say it."

"To tell you the truth, I was also trembling at that time." Chen Xi shook her head and smiled: "But there is no way, if I don't go, who will go?"

"It's really not easy to be a film crew." Ye Dongnan, who was listening, also said with two big dark circles under his eyes.

"No way, for the movie dream, we have to continue." Chen Xi clenched her fists and said.

Time passed, and soon, many things on the production team were moving forward, and Chen Xi's filming progress was also moving forward.

Chen Xi stuck her head in the crew, and kept her ears to nothing outside the window.

What happened outside, he had no idea.

Ban Ki-moon was appointed as the new Secretary-General of the United Nations, French President Jacques Chirac visited China, Google acquired Yahoo...he didn't know any of these things.

From eating to breathing, there is nothing that is not related to the crew.

But it is precisely this attitude that can make the filming progress of "Latent" soar.

As time went by, the soul in Chen Xi's head was combined with the filming of the TV series.

Director ability is soaring.

If you can see a little progress every day, it is a particularly boring thing, and it can still make people stick to it.

Chen Xi just felt that he was making rapid progress, so even though the crew was exhausted, he still enjoyed it. Even Fan Chenwei now had less and less places to intervene in TV dramas, and Chen Xi took over.
