Chapter 166: Executive Director

Yi Qing really didn't see that Chen Xiaoer was still such a controlling person, although he quibbled that he was serious and responsible, but even if he was serious and responsible, could he still expect one person to do everything, not to mention that he was the protagonist, and he needed to be in a situation for 80% of the scenes in the whole article.

What's more, Chen Xiaoer is the first time to direct a movie independently, in Yi Qing's opinion, no matter what, the most urgent thing to solve at the moment is to find a reliable executive director.

Don't say it's Chen Xiaoer, Wu Yusen is not a cow, an international director, but in his previous life, Wu Yusen had to ask Zhang Jinjin to be the executive director in order to shoot "Red Cliff" well, otherwise he might not be able to handle so many big scenes and thousands of people.

In this way, Zhang Jinjin is the executive director on the surface, but he is actually no different from the director, and Wu Yusen is in charge of a director team, almost all the big scenes are filmed by Zhang Jinjin, and Wu Yusen also has a chief director.

The same is true for another big director Chen Kexin, who made a costume blockbuster for the first time, and also invited Zhang Jinjin to be in charge of the large-scale war scene of "Casting a Name".

As a big-scene director who is famous overseas and is called "General" by Hollywood, Zhang Jinjin is also the executive director of films such as "Hero", "The City Full of Golden Armor", and "Farewell My Concubine".

It can be said that almost half of the later domestic blockbusters were related to Zhang Jinjin.

Chen Kaige has not cooperated with Zhang Jinjin since "Farewell My Concubine" and "Jing Ke's Assassination of King Qin", and as a result, he made a "Wuji".

It's not that it won't work without Zhang Jinjin, but it has a little bit of an impact, when Yi Qing watched the two dramas in his previous life, the most intuitive impression at that time was that he couldn't figure out that "Wuji" and "Farewell My Concubine" would be filmed by one director.

Of course, "Two Sons Open a Shop" is just a low-cost urban comedy, and naturally there is no need to find a big bull like Zhang Jinjin to do the execution, and now all the crew needs is someone who is familiar with all the work of the crew and has a little experience.

Seeing that the crew was going to be chaotic, Yi Qing directly found Zou Jie, he was the producer of this play, and there were some things that had to be discussed with him, and Yi Qing felt that if he was alone now, there was obviously no way to convince Chen Xiaoer.

told Zou Jie about the problem, Zou Jie is also a person in the industry, and he has been mixed with the crew before, and after being reminded by Yi Qing, he also found the problem: "It's really not a problem to go on like this, so let's discuss it with Director Chen, but if you want to find someone to be the executive director, who do you think is suitable?"

Before Yi Qing could speak, he saw Feng Pants, who was eavesdropping on the two of them, and immediately raised his head and chested.

This goods!

"The candidate is not ready-made, Lao Feng! He is the assistant director, just let him come!"

"Old Feng?"

Zou Jie glanced at Feng's pants, and the thing hurriedly pretended to be nothing, but his ears were obviously erected.

"Is he okay?"

Although Zou Jie met the rest of the crew late, before joining the group, he knew everyone well, Feng Pants had no experience before, and he had been with several crews, but what he could do was always art.

Yi Qing saw that Feng Pants was a little panicked, and hurriedly said: "No problem, he has made short films before, and his on-site ability is still good!"

If only Zhang Jinjin is an executive director who is in charge alone, Feng pants is obviously a little worse, but if he just completes the designed work according to the director's instructions, Feng pants should be fine.

As far as Chen Xiaoer's temper is concerned, it is obviously impossible to hand over the crew to Feng Pants, what Feng Pants has to do is actually to shout to start, and then stare at the camera, as long as there is no problem with the camera and the actors are in the right position, how to decide the rest, naturally Chen Xiaoer will check it.

But even so, Feng Pants, who has always dreamed of becoming a director, does not want to give up this opportunity to be an executive director, although he has worked with several crews, but he is an artist, and it is not easy to get mixed up with an assistant director, but in the crew of "Two Sons Open a Shop", he is not much different from the miscellaneous ones, and this experience is meaningless to him at all.

This is different from what he originally imagined, he originally thought that Chen Xiaoer was also the first time to be a director, and he must have no experience, and when filming, he could at least be an executive director, maybe Chen Xiaoer would have to discuss many things because of his lack of experience.

As a result, from the day of filming, he didn't even touch the side of the director's seat, all he did all day long was running east to west, patching everywhere, and even selling box lunches and other drama jobs were piled on him.

For this matter, Feng Pants has complained to Yi Qing several times, but Yi Qing is just with the screenwriter, and he can't interfere in many things at all, and today he finally saw a little light, and seeing that Zou Jie was still hesitating, he couldn't care about anything else.

"Director Zou, I can do it, I will definitely do it well!"

Zou Jie had just noticed Feng Pants, and knew that everyone had listened to his conversation with Yi Qing, so he didn't feel strange that he had recommended himself at this time, and looked at Feng Pants and was silent for a while and said: "Xiao Feng, are you sure? The leaders in the factory are very concerned about this scene, if I stab Lou Zi, I can't cover it!"

Feng Pants hurriedly said: "No, no, Director Zou, I promise to cooperate well." ”

Seeing Feng Pants say this, Zou Jie saw with his own eyes that the crew was indeed a bit chaotic, Chen Xiaoer had to act, and one person couldn't take care of the whole situation at all, plus there was really no suitable candidate at the moment.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Director Chen!"

Zou Jie said, got up and walked towards Chen Xiaoer.

Seeing this, Feng Pants suddenly burst into joy: "Xiao Yi!

Yi Qing looked at it and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, but there is one thing I have to remind you, I know that you have a lot of ideas, but if this thing really comes to pass, no matter what Chen Xiaoer commands, you have to do it, don't make your own opinions, otherwise, I won't be able to protect you!"

What kind of person is Feng Pants, Yi Qing has been in contact with him for so long, he has long been clear, when he pretends to be a grandson, he is inferior to anyone else, but if he is really bold, he will underestimate him if he is bold.

In addition, Feng Pants has been talking nonsense since he first saw the script of "Two Sons Open a Shop", if it wasn't for Yi Qing to stop him, he would have changed the script beyond recognition.

To put it bluntly, he and Chen Xiaoer's understanding of humor is two extremes, not only do they disagree, but they even have a little contempt, and they always feel that Chen Xiaoer's humorous way is very low-level, without a little technical content.

If it was really time to wait for the shooting, his self-righteous temper attacked, and Chen Xiaoer's arrangement was changed, which made Chen Xiaoer unhappy, and Yi Qing really couldn't protect him.

Feng Pants was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood what Yi Qing meant by this, although he was unhappy in his heart, he immediately suppressed it.

"Don't worry, I know I need to do it, and I promise not to get into trouble!"

"I hope you do what you say. ”

Yi Qing also got up and walked towards Chen Xiaoer as he spoke, Zou Jie was moved by him, he couldn't hide behind.

As soon as he walked up, Yi Qing heard Chen Xiaoer complaining: "Director Zou, I can do it alone, I don't need an executive director at all, you see, it's been a few days since filming started, isn't this good, what kind of executive director do you want, besides, who can guarantee that he thinks the same as me, in case two people have a conflict, their faces are not good-looking!"

Zou Jie obviously persuaded for a long time, and when he saw that Chen Xiaoer's oil and salt did not enter, he had no choice, so he happened to see Yi Qing coming over, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Yi!

Chen Xiaoer also saw Yi Qing, and after listening to Zou Jie's words, he immediately looked at Yi Qing with unhappiness: "Xiao Yi! Director Zou was found by you? Do you have to get an executive director over, are you worried about me?"

That's a bit of a weight.

After Chen Xiaoer finished speaking, he also regretted it a little, after all, the relationship between the two was good before, but Yi Qing insisted on using the executive director and let him focus on the performance, which really made him unhappy.

He really likes acting, but as a director, he is also very interested, and finally got a chance, he doesn't want others to share power.

When Yi Qing heard this, he didn't take it too seriously, after all, if it was him, he wouldn't be happy either: "Little second brother, it's not interesting for us to say this, if I don't worry about you, when you and Liang Zi came to me, I didn't care about you, why bother writing the script overnight, but now the situation of the crew, I don't believe you can't see it, you have to perform again, and you want to grasp all the things of the crew, do you think you can handle it? Even if Director Xie Jin comes to do it, you still have to be blind!"

Yi Qing said, also observing Chen Xiaoer's reaction, seeing that although he was still unconvinced, his expression finally eased a little, and he could finally listen to persuasion.

"Besides, arranging an executive director, and not really dividing your power, you arrange everything, the executive director just does what you tell you to do, how to shoot, or you have the final say, but there are people who help you with the work and can let you concentrate on performing, what's wrong with that?"

Chen Xiaoer lost his temper now, and only said after a while: "Are you sure, how to shoot or me!?"

Yi Qing didn't speak, but looked at Zou Jie, at this time, the director of production said that he was obviously more authoritative than him as a screenwriter with the group.

"Of course. ”

Meng Shi worked hard to promote the establishment of this drama project and applied for funds, the first thing he valued must be the script, followed by Chen Xiaoer, who has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for two consecutive years, a well-known comedian in the country, the three words of wine bottle Chen Xiaoer will definitely attract many audiences into the cinema.

Although people at this time still don't understand what star effect is, in fact, every movie is filmed, and as an employer, the first thing to pay attention to is definitely the cast.

In the end, Chen Xiaoer still nodded, and when the next scene started filming, Feng Pants sat in the director's seat as he wished, holding a megaphone in his hand and shouting.

"Okay!
