Chapter 217: I Have a Son (2/2)

After the dinner, Kang Hui drove Chen Minhao back to the hotel.

On the way back, Kang Hui said with a smile: "I didn't expect Director Xu An to be quite approachable, she didn't have any shelf at all, I thought she would be very arrogant as the first female director in China." I didn't expect her to be so kind and easy to talk to. ”

Chen Minhao thought to himself: Sister Kang, you praise her so much, at least half of the reason is that she praises you. The content in his heart was not expressed, Chen Minhao said with a smile: "Indeed, I feel that she is very experienced and has deep thinking, but she is not publicized." ”

"By the way, I've been busy during the day, I haven't asked you yet, how did you convince Xingxi to come to the show?"

In order to avoid ganging in front of Xingxi in the future, Chen Minhao told Kang Hui about the process of persuading Xingxi one by one.

Hearing that Kang Hui was behind his back, his face turned black all of a sudden, and then he sighed and said, "Hey, I shouldn't have asked you this question, it ruined my good mood for the day." ”

Chen Minhao said apologetically: "I'm sorry, at that time, in that atmosphere of 'gentlemen's friendship Xinrulan', it was really difficult for me to make a request, so I could only make a request through your mouth." “

Kang Hui smiled relievedly and said, "It's okay, it's also one of the agent's job responsibilities to take the blame for the artist, but in the future, you need to follow up more by yourself, I think he should be unhappy with me for a while." “

………

Time is pressing, although director Xu An's final script has not been completely perfected, Kang Hui has already started to choose shooting scenes according to the outline of the script.

September is the peak season for film and TV shooting, and the supply of "family venues" in Beijing's film and television bases is in short supply, not to mention the current situation where you want to use it the next day without a reservation.

Despite this, Kang Hui still contacted a crew who was filming a family melodrama through his connections, and they had an indoor shooting location that was not used for the time being.

After Director Xu An took a look, he directly vetoed: "No, this room is too big, and it has more than 30 square meters as a bedroom, which is not suitable for the tone of my MV shooting." ”

Kang Hui didn't say a word, stepped on his 8-centimeter high heels, and went to look for the next shooting location immediately.

After Director Xu An saw it, he shook his head again: "No, the things in this room are too new." There is no feeling of an old man living in it at all, please ask if these sofas, coffee tables and chandeliers can be a little more plain?"

Kang Hui immediately asked the crew who provided the room if they could change the furniture in the short term, and after getting a negative answer, Kang Hui immediately went to find a new venue, this time the house price, decoration style, and furniture were all qualified, and Director Xu An nodded reluctantly.

It was supposed to be the time of the whole world to celebrate, but the crew who provided the venue said: "This venue can only be used for 2 days. ”

Xu An once again used her right to veto, on the grounds that although there were not many shots of this scene, which could be done in about a day and a half, she did not like to rush to shoot, which would affect the quality of her shooting.

Kang Hui asked Chen Minhao with a sad face: "Did I say that she was easy to talk yesterday, I completely retract this sentence now, today, I have tried all the crews in Kyoto that I can talk to, and I can only go to the film and television base outside Kyoto tomorrow." ”

Chen Minhao thought for a while and said: "Actually, we can try not to find a film and television base, just shoot in ordinary people's homes." ”

Kang Hui said hesitantly: "It shouldn't be, in fact, it's not that Xu An is not good at talking, I think she is the kind of person who is too passionate about art, which causes her eyes to contain sand." But then again, if she had been able to get by with the filming process, she wouldn't have achieved what she is today.

I've never heard of a well-known director shooting high-quality footage in an ordinary person's home, the studio of the film and television base is 6 meters, but the height of the ordinary house is only 3 meters, which makes it very difficult to light in the ordinary house, and it is difficult to find the right camera position for the camera. After all, it was not built specifically for filming. ”

Chen Minhao thought for a while and said, "Try it." Anyway, she has denied it three times, and she is not afraid of one more time. ”

Chen Minhao's last sentence was like a sharp sword that hurt Kang Hui's heart, Kang Hui held the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and spent money to find a room where a septuagenarian lived.

Unexpectedly, Director Xu An nodded.

Kang Hui asked Chen Minhao in surprise: "How did you know that you can shoot in ordinary people's homes." ”

Chen Minhao said with a smile: "I made up for Director Xu's two movies last night, and I feel that she actually cares a lot about the texture of the shooting." ”

Kang Hui asked puzzledly: "This shooting texture has nothing to do with shooting in ordinary residents' homes." ”

Chen Minhao felt that Kang Hui might really have no artistic cells, but he didn't know how to explain his mysterious feeling to Kang Hui, so he said perfunctorily: "You should be like a blind cat and a dead mouse." ”

Kang Hui felt that his IQ had been insulted.

The next day, Chen Minhao saw the "son" selected by Director Xu An for himself in the rented residence, named Zhang Qi. He was only 6 years old this year, and he was white and clean, and his mother led him to sit on a small bench.

Many staff members of the crew said with a smile: "This kid is so handsome, I think Mr. Chen was so cute when he was a child, no wonder Director Xu An chose him to play Mr. Chen's son." ”

If Chen's mother was on the scene, she would definitely refute: "My son was much cuter than him when he was a child." ”

Director Xu An's point of view is still that there should not be too much dialogue in the MV, so it will focus on Chen Minhao's personal monologue, and all the content filmed is in the service of this monologue.

"I became a father, and as a father, it took more patience than I thought, and now I realize the hard work of a father, but I will work harder. Because I'm a father. “

The footage of the shoot is mainly Chen Minhao taking care of the child: washing his feet, putting on his socks, combing his hair......

A series of life-like content, the crew filmed for two days, Chen Minhao knew that so many materials were filmed in two days, but in the end, it may only take more than ten seconds.

But fortunately, this child has a good personality, and he filmed repeatedly for two whole days, without crying or making trouble.

At the same time, fortunately, this is a child, if it is a middle-aged man who is combed by such a high-intensity shooting, his hair should fall out.

During the shoot, there were many people who came to visit the class, and Joya, Burberry's brand public relations director, came to visit the class and came up with the idea of sponsoring the costumes for the shoot.

Chen Minhao directly refused, if he accepted the sponsorship, the scenery was too beautiful for him to see: wearing a luxury suit to buy cigarettes at a small shop in the vegetable market, is this going to be the king of the vegetable market?

The plot of buying cigarettes in a small store is also very simple, that is, a father buys cigarettes, and when he turns his head, he finds that the child he brought out is gone.

On the issue of where to shoot in the vegetable market, director Xu An conducted a field investigation. Director Xu An ran no less than 30 vegetable markets, and she finally chose to shoot in a small shop in the east vegetable market.

Regarding the selection of the owner of the cigarette shop, Director Xu An's original idea was to find an amateur to shoot, but I don't know if it was because Chen Minhao was too handsome, or something else, the couple in this small shop had the same problem, and they laughed as soon as the camera was opened. Director Xu An can only find someone else temporarily.

Xu An saw Wang Aiying who came to visit the Xingxi class, so he asked her, "Do you want to try it?" ”

Wang Aiying smiled embarrassedly and said, "I haven't been an actor, I'm worried that it will delay things." ”

But Chen Minhao saw that Wang Aiying actually wanted to try, but she was a little embarrassed, Chen Minhao planned to add a handful of firewood, even if it was not suitable in the end, it would allow her to pass the addiction of an actor.

Then, he soon learned what it meant to be "I thought it was a bronze, but it turned out to be a king"!
