Become a dramatist from today

Seven or eight extras took their positions, and the supporting actors who played the unknown director were also ready. The roles played by the yellow and white tourists were extras in the play within the play.

Zhou Xingxing shouted to start filming, and the crew began to move.

"Go over and show your death to the director." The actor who played the role of the scene manager ordered.

"Oh." Huang Baiyou walked over with a smile and asked, "Director, how do you want me to die?"

"He was shot to death." The supporting actor playing the director put his hands on his hips.

"Oh, okay." Huang Baiyou said he was ready.

"Aikesh (action), jump!"

"Ah!" Huang Baiyou yelled exaggeratedly, then fell to the ground, covering his chest with his hands, struggled twice, and then died.

"Can you director?" Huang Baiyou asked flatteringly.

"That's right. Change your clothes."

Huang Baiyou's face broke out with laughter, and he immediately followed the attendant to change clothes.

On the way, I encountered Yin Tianchou, played by Zhou Xingxing, who could not die no matter what.

"Brother, where did you learn opera?" Zhou Xingxing asked for knowledge.

"I have never studied drama." Huang Baiyou replied.

"Oh, you are really a genius." Zhou Xingxing sighed.

"You can do it if you work hard, and your ability will be recognized. Just be careful." Huang Baiyou's face still showed the joy of getting a job, as well as the greasy "experienced" advice.

Yin Tianchou, played by Zhou Xingxing, clenches his fist to show that he will work hard.

There are many Easter eggs in "The King of Comedy", or it pays homage to many things. If it can become a classic film, I believe many people will dig it up.

"Your ability will be affirmed" comes from the certificate of the Huang Award (the annual diligent actor of the Super Analysis School). Your efforts have been recognized by teacher "Huang Baiyou"...].

Then Zhou Xingxing played a role for several years, and was originally scooped up by the Chaoji sect. Now Huang Baiyou said this to Zhou Xingxing in the play, which is very interesting.

"Teacher Huang's acting skills are really good. No problem, no problem at all." Zhou Xingxing beamed. The teacher's performance was the effect he wanted.

Xie Jiayan, who was watching from the sidelines, was confused as to why this performance... felt so good and bad at the same time.

That's right, not only was Zhou Xingxing dissatisfied with Zhang Shishi's performance, he was also dissatisfied with Xie Jiayan, who played Liu Piaopiao.

"Because of the separation." Zhang Shishi replied.

"Huh?" Xie Jiayan was stunned, and then asked respectfully, "Excuse me, what does Sister Shishi mean?"

Before "Assassination of Novelists", Xie Jiayan would never ask Zhang Shishi about acting.

"The reason why I didn't like it was because I played Death. The way he was shot was very cartoonish and exaggerated. Well - it was similar to my previous performances." Zhang Shishi said, "What makes you feel great about acting is other things, such as telling Yin Tianqiu that you can do it if you work hard. His expression is very much like that of an ordinary person who has achieved a little success."

"By the way, when Teacher Huang was talking to the director, his waist was always slightly arched, looking humble and flattering. Isn't it just like the way our extras talk to the assistant director?" Zhang Shishi concluded, "Everything Divide the performance into something realistic and exaggerated."

"Uh...thank you, Sister Shishi." Xie Jiayan thought carefully, it is indeed true, but what kind of division is this...isn't it just Teacher Huang playing an ordinary extra with poor acting skills and exaggeration?

I should say it or not, Brother Thirteen's acting skills are really versatile. No matter what the director's needs are, he will always praise Brother Thirteen in the end.

As the characters in front of the screen exit, the behind-the-scenes staff come on stage, and the assistant directors, set managers, and props teams begin to get busy.

The character director began to talk to the extras, "You will walk from here to the opposite side in a moment", "You, don't look back at the camera", "Observe our crew's work, see what they look like, and learn to act." …

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Xie, do you understand? I want this, a little exaggerated, a little cartoonish." After Zhou Xingxing finished explaining, he came to the lounge.

"I roughly understand that good performance and exaggeration can be separated. I just need to find two templates and combine them together." Zhang Shishi said.

"?" Zhou Xingxing hesitated for a moment and said no more. Since he understood, he just looked at his performance and stared at Jie Jiayan.

"..." Xie Jiayan still feels that Brother Thirteen has just created a character, what can he understand?

"Ahem, that's almost it." Seeing that the director was about to start talking again, Xie Jiayan blocked the director's mouth first.

In another lounge, Huang Baiyou was removing makeup, while Wu Xiaoxiao was packing her things and preparing to leave.

After finishing the previously arranged guest appearance, he immediately returned to the Daydream shooting base. After all, the most important shooting task in the first half of 2028 is "Farewell My Concubine", which is also the largest film investment of Daydream Pictures in the first half of the year.

"The car has been called." Wu Xiaoxiao said.

"Change the flight and fly back in the afternoon." Huang Bai said, "Eat the crew meal before leaving."

"Okay." Wu Xiaoxiao didn't ask why, and immediately arranged to change the ticket.

Why is there such an arrangement? Because Huang Baiyou came to the crew for a short time, but he also found some problems. In order to ensure smooth follow-up filming, we should solve the problems.

After all, "The King of Comedy" was produced by Daydream Pictures.

The sight returns to the set——

"Stop, stop, what's going on with this set? This poster."

It was about to start, but Zhou Xingxing suddenly saw an error in the scene and stopped it immediately.

This scene is set up in the small nest where Yin Tianqiu lives. The side of the bed against the wall is covered with a mirror and many posters.

According to the script, Yin Tianqiu would often practice his expressions in front of the mirror and practice the emotions and emotions required for acting.

There were posters on the top, bottom, left and right of the mirror. What Zhou Xingxing saw was that the poster on the left was wrong.

"Where's Teacher Sun Daolin's poster? Why is it Teacher Huang's poster?" Zhou Xingxing asked.

Dozens of people in the studio froze, and soon the head of the props team, the old man, appeared. He quickly explained, "I couldn't find Mr. Sun's poster for too long... so I used Brother Thirteen's poster."

Sun Daolin is an unfamiliar name. He was a famous actor and director in the 1940s and 1950s. It was not easy to get a poster.

I don't know if it was because of Huang Baiyou, but Old Mao had the courage to say, "Anyway, there are photos of Brother Thirteen on the wall, so it doesn't matter if there is one more."

I really don’t think it’s a big deal. Many places in the film are flattering. Old haters pointed out that there are many places that pay homage to Huang Baiyou, including but not limited to “Six Lectures on the Super Analysis Sect, which is treasured by the protagonist Yin Tianqiu”, “imitating lines”, etc. wait.

From the old man's point of view, Zhou Xingxing is just a loser who makes Brother Thirteen happy, what else can he do?

He has participated in more drama groups than Zhou Xingxing has acted in, the old hat thought to himself.

Zhou Xingxing didn’t know what the old hat in the props team was thinking. He explained, “On the right side of the mirror is De Niro, paying tribute to his movie “The King of Comedy” shot in the 1990s, in which he played a man who firmly believed that he had comedy talent. Ordinary people correspond exactly to the theme of our movie."

"On the left is Teacher Sun Daolin. In the last century, Teacher Sun directed and acted in "Thunderstorm". Thunderstorms appeared in our script many times. This poster can also be connected with the plot."

"The one on the bottom is Gene Landford, my favorite foreign actor, and the one above is my idol, Mr. Huang. I have arranged each poster long ago." Zhou Xingxing insisted, "It cannot be changed. "

"If you can't find Teacher Sun Daolin's poster, just make a photocopy and make one. It won't waste any time." Zhou Xingxing said, "There are also walls. The wall covering is too new and not up to par. It doesn't look like a small bungalow at all."

The lack of skill made the old man a little defensive, "Director Zhou, you are asking too much, and our props team can only do this. In the "Exploding Skyscraper" crew, we also do the same."

"Exploding Skyscraper" was the fourth highest-grossing film last year and a very successful commercial film.

"We are discussing the current movie. Moreover, the setting of the exploding skyscraper is a modern building. Our movie is a relatively backward small bungalow in an urban village. Even if the movie was successful at the time, the successful experience is not enough to explain anything." Zhou Xingxing explain.

"Director, you have just made a movie, so you don't understand a lot of things. No one will pay attention to this kind of wall background poster." The old man said, "Printing posters takes more time and affects our shooting schedule."

"Have you ever lived in a bungalow?" Zhou Xingxing continued after hearing this, "The walls of the bungalow should be older."

You talk about reason, I talk about past honors, you talk about logic, I talk about qualifications, anyway, it is misaligned. The old hat only thinks that there is something wrong with the director.

The old man has one head and two heads. Why can't this young man understand it at all?

"This..." Before the old man could say anything, he was interrupted by a male voice, "The movie should be more serious."

The speaker is Huang Baiyou.

"Brother Thirteen." The old man greeted quickly.

"Film is a team art, but it is also the director's expressive work. Other personnel, including actors, can have their own ideas, but they must first complete the director's arrangements." Huang Baiyou continued.

Why are so many directors willing to cooperate with Huang Baiyou? Look, this is the reason! The cast and crew on the set had this idea in mind.

Even if Huang Baiyou is not the big boss of the main investor, the old man does not dare to refute, so he can only say yes.

"Zhou Xingxing is a very thoughtful director and actor. If we all work together, we will definitely be able to produce a good work." Huang Baiyou said this to the boss of the props team and also to all the cast and crew present.

I am very grateful to Teacher Huang for trusting him so much. Zhou Xingxing also promised in his heart that he must work hard to make a good movie, at least... at least not to make Teacher Huang lose money.

The main reason why Huang Baiyou has so much confidence in Zhou Xingxing is that he used the reward system to check before. Yin Tianqiu needs 70,000 to activate the popularity value, so it is destined to be a successful movie.

It was during the morning stay on the crew that Huang Baiyou saw Zhou Xingxing's paranoia. Whether it was props or lines, if there was even a slight discrepancy, he would have to retake it again and again.

No wonder the cast and crew have some opinions.

"I feel like this person has such a paranoid personality." Wu Xiaoxiao said.

"Paranoia is a trait that makes it easy to succeed." Huang Bai said.

The lunch ordered by the crew was okay. After lunch, Huang Baiyou returned to "Farewell My Concubine".

The original poster of Earth is of Cheung Ying, one of the top four actors in Cantonese films in Hong Kong and an actor who starred in "Thunderstorm", so I made a substitution. In addition, Zhang Ying also acted in "The Night of Resurrection" in the 1960s...

I'm going to start evolving from a 2k party to a 3k party, or two updates if everything goes well.
