At 9 o'clock, Du Caige appeared in the studio with Liu Zifei.

The agreed meeting time is half past nine, and then one hour of makeup, preparation, preparation of props, etc., and the official start of filming at half past ten.

It is expected to take a day to shoot, but if you don't finish it, the studio can be rented for another day.

Zhang Tianwang's original MV was filmed on location, and did not focus on shooting the storyline, but mainly highlighted the image of Zhang Tianwang's handsome uncle at that time.

The overall feeling is that it's a bit aggressive, cool, and has a lot of elevation shots.

But the storyline is messy, and it can even be said that there is no storyline.

And Du Caige didn't plan to shoot according to the original.

As for the scenes where the MV heroine appeared in the original version, he was embarrassed to ask for a salary of 2-30,000 yuan for Liu Zifei.

Others may look at his face and don't say anything on the surface, but they may have some gossip when they turn their backs.

Du Caige also wanted to take Liu Zifei to shoot a few more MVs to help her make more money, and he didn't want to block the road himself.

After Du Caige arrived, Peng Sizhang hadn't appeared yet, but the entire film crew was almost there.

Du Caige communicated with the makeup artist, props artist, lighting, and photography separately, and Liu Zifei listened to the whole process next to him.

It didn't take long for Du Caige to rush her: "You go to put on makeup, don't waste time." This basic stuff is not worth listening to. ”

"No, I'm going to listen. Liu Zifei listened with relish, where is she willing to go.

Du Caige glared at her.

Liu Zifei was stunned in her heart, she knew how strict Du Caige was on the shooting scene, and she also remembered that Du Caige had told her before not to act like she was very familiar with him.

So he lowered his head, looking a little aggrieved.

Then the more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, and tears rolled in my eyes.

Du Caige didn't expect a look to make her cry, but she could only pretend not to see it and ignore it.

Liu Zifei silently shed tears for a while, and she felt ashamed again.

She summed it up, it's still too hard this time, although she has been holding on, but her psychology is a little fragile, and she has long wanted to find a chance to cry.

Seeing that Du Caige didn't rush her again, she stood behind Du Caige and listened attentively to Du Caige's communication with the staff and assign work.

At 10:40, before Peng Sizhang appeared, Du Caige showed signs of having a seizure.

Liu Zifei saw that something was wrong, and quickly slipped away to put on makeup, at this time she didn't want to hit the muzzle.

Du Caige's identity is no secret in the circle now.

With his coffee position, he can indeed point at Peng Sizhang's nose and scold, and he can talk and laugh with the executives of major entertainment companies.

After a few phone calls, a manager in charge of communication at Jiutian Media was sweating, while secretly looking at Du Caige's increasingly gloomy face, he generally nodded to Du Caige, wiped his sweat and said: Peng Sizhang is already on the road, and when he encounters a traffic jam, I will urge him again.

Du Caige didn't talk nonsense with him, only nodded and responded: "En." ”

Although this person has the title of manager, he is actually just a little transparent, and it is too cheap to be angry with him, so Du Caige will not do this.

By 11 o'clock, Peng Sizhang had not yet appeared.

Du Caige stood up and said decisively: "Let's start work first and finish shooting the footage without Peng Sizhang." ”

The manager of Jiutian Media next to him was very hesitant: "Most of the shots have Peng Sizhang, right?"

"I'm the director," Du Caige said calmly, "I have the final say." ”

"But it's ...... in the script"

"I wrote the script, and I want to change it now, is there a problem?"

Glancing at him, the manager shook his head decisively: "You have the final say." ”

So a group of people got busy.

The script written by Du Caige before, on the one hand, should show Peng Sizhang's charm, on the other hand, it must also give the heroine enough shots, and it is necessary to shoot a short and concise story in the 4-minute MV, which tests the narrative ability.

But now, Du Caige decided to cut off Peng Sizhang's shots by one-third and give the heroine more shots.

"Assistant Director!"

Du Caige shouted twice, and Liu Zifei realized that it was her who shouted, and hurriedly pushed away the makeup artist and ran over to listen to the training.

Du Caige whispered to her for a few minutes, and Liu Zifei nodded frequently. Then sit back and continue to put on makeup.

Du Caige originally thought that if he had a good time cooperating with Peng Sizhang this time, he might as well cooperate a few more times in the future to repair the relationship.

But now it seems that it's better to forget it, try to hold back your temper first, make sure that there are no serious conflicts in this cooperation, and don't tear your face.

originally wanted to show goodwill to Jiutian Media, but don't make enemies with Jiutian Media because of Peng Sizhang.

At 11:40, the preliminary preparations were finally done, Du Caige looked at the time and said, "I know that everyone is a little tired, and some people are also hungry." But please hold on a little longer, we shoot until half past 1 and then rest. ”

These staff members are not familiar with Du Caige, and they are all in a wait-and-see state for the time being, and they have not jumped out to blow up.

When the filming began, Du Caige's strict requirements and familiarity with the business immediately stopped them and made them dare not make a mistake.

"How did you do the second position, the angle is wrong!"

"Light, trouble to the left 10 degrees, thank you. ”

"Lights, mind you, I don't want to repeat. If you guys can't meet my requirements, I don't mind a replacement. ”

"First camera, what school did you graduate from? I'm puzzled, I can't even figure out the proportion of the camera, how could your teacher let you graduate?"

"Heroine, I know you're a newcomer and don't have much acting experience, and I allow you to make mistakes, but please give me the best attitude. ”

"Heroine, pay attention to the right shot, your eyes are always off. ”

"Prop master! Replace the heroine's bracelet, this one is too vulgar and doesn't match the heroine's temperament. ”

"Makeup artist, come over here. Pay attention to the eyeliner of the heroine in the lens. From this point of view, this is close to the effect of smoky makeup, I don't like it, I want the heroine to show a very pure, very classical kind of beauty, not bewitching. Give you 20 minutes to redraw her eyeliner, can you do it?"

At half past one, Du Caige shouted the card on time. "Although there is still a little bit to finish filming, I think everyone's state is a little affected, so let's rest and eat first. ”

The boxed lunches that had been prepared for a long time were sent in, and this miniature film crew, which only had a dozen people, immediately devoured them one by one.

Liu Zifei took the boxed lunch, and after two bites, she had no appetite.

She hesitated for a moment and came to Du Caige's side.

Du Caige sat alone in a corner, took a cardboard cushion, sat on the ground, and ate slowly.

However, the way he looked at it, and Liu Zifei's experience when he ate by himself just now, knew that he was by no means tasting the food - because this box of lunch was too unpalatable.

He must have been thinking about something.

"Brother Du," Liu Zifei asked in a low voice, "How was my performance?"

"Oh," Du Caige gave her a smile, "It's okay, after all, it's not your job to be an actor, and it's okay to be able to do this." However, I suggest that you learn a little more acting, otherwise you won't know how to direct the actors when you direct movies yourself. ”

"I understand," Liu Zifei lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly, "I have been doing miscellaneous work in various crews for a while, and sometimes I am also an assistant director in a small crew, and I want to talk to the actors, I found that my theoretical foundation in acting is too poor, and I really need to make up for it." ”

"Yes, come on, you can do it. Du Caige absentmindedly encouraged.

"What is this story about? Why didn't I understand it, you didn't follow the script. ”

Du Caige smiled, "Even if I shoot according to the script, you may not be able to understand it, each director's thinking is different, and there are often changes on the spot." ”

"For example, according to the original script, in Act 3, Scene 2, you would look at the unopened gift, smile sweetly at Peng Sizhang, and then gently lean against his chest," he explained, "but now I've cut Peng Sizhang's role and made changes to the script, so I make you look at the text message and can't help but laugh, and then roll on the bed to express the joy you feel after seeing the love words written by your lover." ”

Liu Zifei realized something and nodded. Then he looked around, but no one paid attention to them, so he whispered: "Brother Du, Peng Sizhang hasn't come yet." He's too big, isn't he?"

Du Caige shook his head: "Don't care, remember what I said to you on the way here." ”

Of course Liu Zifei remembers.

Du Caige's original words were: "If I get into a fight with Peng Sizhang, you have to behave indifferently, don't intervene, and don't fight." ”

"Don't let me interject, I understand," Liu Zifei said curiously, "Why don't you let me fight?"

Du Caige looked at her and smiled, lowered his head to eat, and did not answer.

Liu Zifei wondered and walked away.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly realized that her coffee position was not enough, and she was not even qualified to pull the rack.

She could even hide far away, lest the city gate catch fire and affect the fish in the pond, lest the gods fight and mortals suffer.

Du Caige buried his head in eating slowly, thinking about the next shooting.

Although for him, shooting a MV can be regarded as a knife for killing chickens.

It is a waste to kill chickens with a knife, but if you take it lightly and don't master the strength, and kill the chicken with a knife and the chicken is still alive and kicking around, it will be funny and humiliating.

Therefore, Du Caige still takes this shooting very seriously.

The song "If This Isn't Love" was composed by Wu Bai and lyrics by Li Zhuoxiong.

In terms of style, it has a bit of a soft rock flavor.

So for the shooting of the MV, Du Caige also decided to take the route of cool and rock.

Of course, it is the job of the male protagonist to sell cool, and the heroine can sell cuteness and cuteness as long as she can play beautifully.

After hastily eating, Du Caige went through the previous shots again.

Consider whether you want to reshoot a few shots.

He looked at the time and was about to announce the continuation of filming, when suddenly the manager of Jiutian Media came running over and said, "Teacher Hemingway, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting, Teacher Peng will be here soon." ”
