I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 594: 592. The fourth

Chapter 594 592. The Fourth

"Sorry, I was delayed by something."

Re-entering the conference hall, Xu Xin expressed his apology first, and then looked at Xue Yong:

"Are you done?"

"Yes, I just finished talking. I have already communicated with everyone including the shooting plan. The next thing is some things about the itinerary, and I will communicate with you in detail at that time."

"good."

Xu Xin looked at everyone again:

"That's it. Everyone remember to participate in the evening reading meeting, hurry up and get in shape, and we will officially start the machine tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he nodded to everyone:

"The meeting is over."

After a notice was issued for the end of the meeting, Xu Xin walked out directly.

Basically, he doesn't have to worry about the actors.

All the way back to his office, he looked at the scene on the table and the movie materials of the manuscript, and continued to light a cigarette.

Putting his legs on the table, he fell into deep thought.

He was considering whether to call Liu Kuan.

I'm a little uncertain.

According to the priority of the matter, in fact, this call can be made.

Make a phone call and ask about the situation... Anyway, give me a message, right?

But intuitively speaking, he felt that he couldn't play.

Instead, you should continue to wait.

There is no special basis, I just feel so in my heart.

This kind of thing affects the whole body. Not to mention anything else, just judging by his own thinking, he can find a lot of things to be patiently pondered from inside.

He didn't believe that Zhang Weiping's case was an exception, nor did he believe that this matter was done seamlessly.

There should be some twists and turns in it.

It's just that you can't talk, think, or listen to these twists and turns.

At the very least, he is not qualified to listen now.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally dismissed the idea.

Calling now, at most, is to talk about it.

But if I can really wait for this call, then... this matter is done, and it can actually be used as an admission ticket.

So, wait, it's better than asking in a hurry.

But that doesn't mean he can't do anything.

"Are you ready..."

He muttered to himself.

If there is really no hope here, then he is going to use another way... a kind of "experience" learned through Wang Sicong's incident.

Although I am a little sorry for my friend.

But indeed, he learned something through Wang Ying.

Sometimes... netizens with great powers can also play a big role in some things.

The mouth of the people is better than that of Sichuan.

It's just that it's more dangerous to do so, and you have to be more careful.

But it's better than nothing.

Prepare with both hands, be prepared...

Having figured this out, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Squeeze out the smoke, all thoughts unrelated to the movie cleared my mind in a few breaths.

Picked up the materials used for shooting tomorrow and studied them again.

…

October 10, morning, 7:05.

In fact, starting from October, the weather in Xi'an is getting colder every day.

Although it’s not winter yet, early in the morning, all the crew members put on thick down jackets.

are all issued by the factory.

Don't say it, state-owned enterprises are good at this.

There is never a shortage of benefits and benefits.

No matter how poor a state-owned enterprise is, it can still have a barrel of oil and two bags of noodles during the holidays.

Not to mention Xiying Studio, which has started to live a prosperous life in recent years.

The long winter down jackets ordered uniformly have already been prepared.

Send it directly, no money required.

Even "newcomers" like Bi Gan received one.

"Huh... I'm full."

Wang Sicong threw the suffocated soy milk bag into the trash can, and wearing a down jacket, glanced at Xu Yang who was wearing an Armani jacket next to him, and said:

"Aren't you cold?"

"I still want to ask, aren't you hot?"

Xu Yang took the cigarette and looked at him and the busy people beside him speechlessly:

"Shouldn't you be shooting in a studio later? Wearing a down jacket in this weather? It's still this thick?"

"Tsk, you are really new."

Because of Xu Xin's relationship, the relationship between him and the people in Xu Jiawan has grown rapidly.

So speaking is not at all unreasonable.

After helping Xu Yang to light a cigarette, he made a display gesture:

"As long as you have some experience in filming in autumn and winter, you will not say such a thing."

"What?"

"Down jackets are not for wearing, but for wrapping. You will know after a while... Filming is actually a very tedious job. Maybe the audience only watches a few seconds on the movie, and the crew has to spend several days in preparation." God, the filming time may be longer. What should people like us do at this time? Let’s go, we can’t go. It’s agreed to share the joys and sorrows~ Hey, find a place, wrap up the down jacket, and fall down just sleep!"

"..."

Xu Yang was speechless for a while:

"Is this wow?"

"Yes."

Wang Sicong's face is "well-versed":

"The hardest thing about filming is the waiting. It's the time of preparation. Modern dramas are okay, but if it's a costume drama, it may take a day to prepare, and in the end it's just for a few shots. Wouldn't you be more comfortable sleeping in a down jacket than wearing this jacket?"

Now, Xu Yang was also a little shaken.

It's not that he hasn't been with the crew before. When he first arrived in Shanghai last year, Sister Mo threw everyone into the crew of the digital movie "The Great Power".

But the problem is that at that time they didn't understand anything and didn't say anything... they went in as investors.

The crew specially sent an assistant director to accompany them.

The crew will definitely go there every day, but their condition...the crew is filming in this street, and they drink tea in that street.

Although it will not be abandoned and they can learn something, what they can see is only what the crew wants them to see. How can investors know these "experiences" in Wang Sicong's mouth?

He couldn't help asking:

"How do you know?"

Hearing this, Wang Sicong paused for a moment, and then a strong smell of "old fritters" came out.

"...My buddy has been with several crews, what do you think?"

But actually.

These experiences were taught by Tang Yan.

Since the matter of Wang Ying, he began to think about the role of "Wei Yiran".

and Tang Yan meet almost every day in Shanghai.

When you don’t know each other well, all you talk about is work. But after getting acquainted, Tang Yan told him a lot of things that need to be paid attention to in the crew.

In all honesty, Sister Tang is a very comfortable person to get along with Wang Sicong.

The sense of proportion is very good.

What he and he said are all very down-to-earth things.

For example, this kind of experience talk like "you must wear thicker clothes in the crew".

Give Wang Sicong a sense of déjà vu that everyone is stirring horse spoons in the same pot, and I treat you as my own.

Very comfortable.

But in Xu Yang...

Men, save face.

Even if the huskies get in with the wolves, they have to pretend to be a big boss in front of Mengxin.

Upon hearing this, Mengxin looked adoring:

"The boss knows so much!"

Wang Sicong smiled triumphantly:

"That is."

The two of them were talking, when a group of people over there came out of the studio with several big bags.

The crowd immediately surrounded the past.

Xu Yang looked at the appearance of everyone holding a pack of snacks, and asked in puzzlement:

"What's that?"

"Be good. The crooked snacks, puffed balls, coconut flavor, are unpalatable."

Seeing that Mengxin still didn’t understand, he immediately started to teach popular science how to use “obediently” as a boss.

After popularizing science, he crushed out the cigarette:

"Wait, I'll take a pack too."

Soon, Wang Sicong took a bag obediently.

While Xu Yang was observing the outer packaging of this thing, Wang Sicong had already taken out a marker pen from his pocket with ease.

After thinking about it, I wrote on the package:

"Wei Yiran (obediently) is obedient, just pass it once."

After finishing speaking, he handed the pen to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang pondered for a while and wrote a sentence:

"The filming of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" (obediently) is finished, and the box office is a big hit."

After writing, he asked:

"Then what?"

"Then put it in the red tray over there. This is also a tribute~"

By the time the two of them wrote their messages, everyone in the crew had almost finished writing them, and they began to pile them on the tray.

While speaking, Xu Xin just obediently put his bag on top.

Seeing this, Wang Sicong also exhorted:

"Let's just put it on the side, don't put it on Lao Xu's bag."

"good."

Xu Yang nodded, followed Wang Sicong, put Guaiguai on the tray, and glanced at the contents of the top package of Guaiguai.

"For "33 Days of Broken Relationship" (obediently), everything is safe and everything is going well."

After reading it, he subconsciously turned his head.

I saw Xu Xin standing over there holding a copy of Huang Zhuan and reading it.

The well-behaved people who had finished placing on the altar all consciously walked behind him, and no one dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with him or surpass him.

"..."

Xu Yang said it was an accident...not counting.

But I was quite surprised in my heart.

Obviously we all grew up together, and have done countless stupid things since we were young.

It can't fit in a basket.

Although he knows that Sanjin is now powerful, he has always lacked a clear concept. Even if San Jin won the best director in Venice, he couldn't believe it when he was excited.

I really can't believe that at the beginning...was selected as the leader of the inter-class exercises, but after he got on stage, let alone doing exercises, he was trembling when he walked, and was replaced the next day...Fa Xiao...has come to this day this step.

Standing at the front of the crowd, the taste of the leading brother is too strong.

Just like the fourth uncle...

Tut.

He sighed with emotion, and followed Wang Sicong all the way to the back of the team.

As all the actors who have finished their makeup come out one after another, the auspicious time has come.

As the director, he lit incense and burned the frame, and "33 Days of Broken Relationship" started successfully!

…

The first scene of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is about the scene of Huang Xiaoxian's first day at work after she found out about her best friend and her boyfriend.

This shot mainly talks about the process of Huang Xiaoxian coming out of the boss's office and walking all the way to his own workstation in the office.

During the period, there are introductions of all named and unnamed colleagues in the company, including Shan Shanmei, Little Wild Cat, Guangdong Boy, Wang Xiaojian, etc.

The narration of the introduction will be completed later.

In this first scene, Xu Xin planned to play big.

He wants to take one shot to the end.

Really one shot to the end.

It’s not the interspersed shot of “The Sound of the Wind” where the scene will be switched and the performance will continue with sound.

Instead, starting from the corridor, Huang Xiaoxian walked all the way, stopping and introducing everyone.

Moreover, in this shot, Xu Xin even played tricks.

That is, many places on the workstation are covered with green cloth.

This is where the special effects will be done later.

After one shot to the end, there will be special effects of time-space acceleration.

The first act was challenging.

So Xu Xin went off in person, and took Xie Wei there to teach her how to move.

At this moment, he is standing at the end of the corridor, standing with Xi Wei:

"You are watching. For a while, you go ahead, go, go... the first one, Cantonese. You come to this position..."

Pointing to the green cloth cross stickers under his feet:

"If you slow down, the camera will go around you and shoot Cantonese from a high place. At this time, you need to slow down and keep walking, and then you don't care about the camera. After I give you the prompt of "walk normally" , came to his station, and took the water glass.

When holding a water glass, remember to hold it with your left hand, and when you turn around, the camera will circle in front of you and give you a close-up of your face. Then you walk around like this...to the water dispenser...

At this time, you will pass by the graphic designer Xiao Ke, the camera will flip again, and you hurry up to catch the water.

Remember, it is hot water.

After receiving it, CICI and the little wild cat appeared. When she comes to your way, you should show that kind of hidden resistance on your face, just bypass her and return to the work station by another way.

This is the desk next to the front desk, walk around, Li Man, when you see her, lower your head and pass her by. You are also late for work.

Then, you continue to walk, walk back to your workstation, and stare blankly at the computer until you hear the sound of the microwave oven..."

After taking Xie Wei through the entire route, Xu Xin turned around and asked:

"How about it, do you remember?"

"Well…"

Xiwei opened her mouth...

Looking around the area arranged as an office building...

I just feel that my mind is a mess.

A talent show idol who has been active in TV dramas since when did she come into contact with the "one shot to the end" scene that tests the basic skills of actors such as acting skills and positioning?

At this moment, apart from remembering that I have to get a cup of hot water from the corridor to the workstation, I forgot everything else.

But she was embarrassed to say...

The director personally asked you to talk about the play, but you didn't remember it at all?

Can this work?

But if you don't say it...what should you do if you make a mistake later?

After thinking about it, she could only bite the bullet and say:

"That... director, can you... take me through it again?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Xin nervously, for fear that he would be unhappy.

But Xu Xin nodded directly:

"Okay, come on, I'm taking you around."

"..."

Xi Wei was taken aback for a moment...

Immediately, a look of relief appeared on his face, and he nodded vigorously:

"Um!"

…

First pass.

"Crack."

Second pass.

"Crack."

Third, fourth, fifth...

When Xi Wei was killed five times in a row, Xu Yang, who was watching from the side, frowned.

Wang Sicong who was chatting with Tang Yan walked over.

Tang Yan noticed Xu Yang's arrival, and quickly turned around politely to express his respect.

Wang Sicong found him walking over and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"What's the matter? It's making mistakes continuously."

"One shot to the end, normal."

Wang Sicong looked at Xi Wei who was being dragged by Xu Xin to give a lecture, and said:

"It's not bad. When Lao Xu filmed the last scene of "The Wind", it is said that it took five or six days to shoot. This is where it is~"

"Okay, I'm going to smoke, will you go?"

"I won't go."

Wang Sicong, who showed extraordinary patience in Xu Xin's filming, waved his hand:

"I also learn."

"good."

Xu Yang nodded and walked out of the studio.

Tang Yan, who was standing with Wang Sicong, asked curiously:

"Brother Cong, do you plan to be a director?"

"…I?"

Wang Sicong was taken aback.

Tang Yan nodded:

"Yeah, didn't you say you want to learn..."

"What I want to learn is how to act."

Wang Sicong couldn't laugh or cry, looked at Xi Wei who was led by Lao Xu again, shook his head and said:

"It's fine as a director. I don't have that ability...I'm rather lacking in imagination."

"So...Brother Cong wants to be an actor?"

"Farewell."

Wang Sicong shook his head again:

"This kind of cameo is okay..."

As he spoke, he paused, and said to Tang Yan:

"Sister Tang, you don't have much contact with Lao Xu or Da Mi in private, so you can't see it."

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively:

"Brother Cong means..."

"There are geniuses in this world."

After finishing speaking, he pouted at Xu Xin:

"Old Xu is the kind of genius whose hard work is worthless in front of talent. Da Mi is the kind of genius who is talented and knows how to work hard. I went from the two of them doing "The Wind" to "The Great Master"...how did they do it? I can see everything. Let me tell you the truth, Sister Tang, I just said it because we know each other well, and I don’t treat you as an outsider."

"Uh-huh."

Tang Yan nodded:

"Say it."

"Although Lao Xu said that the actor's career is the same in the end. Geniuses run faster than others... But I have seen Da Mi's performance live, and I am watching other people... I really can't stand it."

Wang Sicong's tone didn't mean to flatter the high and trample the low, but it was full of sincerity:

"It's the same with the two of us. So...professional things should be left to professional people. I'm just playing around. I've never had anything to do with directors and actors in my life."

But when Tang Yan heard this, he looked thoughtful.

Looking at Xi Wei who started to walk by herself, she thought for a while and asked:

"Brother Cong thinks the gap between me and Mimi... Let's put it in terms of points, how much is the difference?"

"Fraction?"

"Well, scores."

"Well…"

Wang Sicong rolled his eyes up, pondered for a moment, and said:

"For you, I will give 60 points. Dami's side... at least 90. It may be even higher."

"The gap is so big? Is it true?"

Tang Yan's first reaction was not to be convinced.

But after reacting immediately, he said quickly:

"What I mean is... We have worked together before, but in "Sword and Sword III", we didn't feel so clearly."

"That's normal."

Wang Sicong took it for granted:

"Her progress is actually in the play "The Wind". This is what Lao Xu personally admitted. She grew up in "The Wind" and grew up in "The Great Master". You don't have much contact with her, so you don't know. .Anyone, I mean me, the old wolf, the wheel...wait, the people around us, anyone who sees her role as Gong Er in "The Grandmaster" will not think that I gave her 90 points It's an exaggeration, it's only going to be higher."

Maybe it's the interest of talking and chatting.

He looked at Xi Wei and added another sentence:

"Old Xu especially likes pure actors. If he hadn't insisted on playing "The Great Master", Da Mi might not have acted in the first place. He likes actors who are down-to-earth and willing to work hard, such as Da Mi, for example Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei's acting skills were exaggerated at the beginning, but after Lao Xu's hands... You see, slow work and meticulous work. He won the best newcomer award at once. You can't admire it..."

Looking from Xi Wei who was walking the show to Xu Xin who was sitting in front of the monitor, Wang Sicong's eyes were filled with emotion:

"Old Xu, he really knows how to train actresses. To be able to pass a round under his hands... Whether it's Da Mi or Liu Yifei, isn't it all coming out?"

Speaking of this, he turned his eyes back to Xi Wei, and said with a little emotion:

"I'm afraid the third...is her."

"..."

Following his words, Tang Yan unconsciously followed Xi Wei's route and walked slowly.

At the same time, Director Xu's words just now were recalled in his mind.

From the beginning of lecturing Xi Wei, to correcting mistakes...Xu Xin didn't betray anyone.

If you want to hear it, you can hear it naturally.

At this moment, Tang Yan watched Xi Wei walking there, and unconsciously brought himself in.

If I were Xi Wei...

Walking around...the first person...Guangdong boy...then I took a water glass to catch the water, turned my head, looked at the designer Xiaoke, took the water, met the little wild cat CICI, and took a detour...

All Xu Xin's instructions were clearly imprinted in her mind at this moment.

It gave her an urge to try.

However, this impulse only occurred for a moment, and was dispelled by her.

Brother Seven is the heroine, and I am just a supporting role.

Thinking of this, another thought suddenly popped into her mind:

"What if I tried harder?"

But the moment this idea appeared, it was ruthlessly defeated by the reality in front of it.

She pursed her lips subconsciously.

"Old Xu likes pure actors..."

"Old Xu really knows how to train actresses..."

"The first is Mimi, the second is Liu Yifei, and the third is her..."

What about the fourth one?
