"Let's look at the paint first, whether it's the color you chose, whether the surface is smooth, whether there are scratches on the corners... If you look at the tires, the mileage of the new car is very short, and you can usually see the tire hair or the iconic particles, like this..."

Zhou Xiao followed the manager of the 4S store around the new car, explaining the new car, not that he was worried that they would be shoddy, celebrities would buy things, after all, they would pay more attention and the service attitude would be better.

Although I have endured it, I said that I couldn't be too excited, but the smile on my face couldn't be hidden, and I said that it was ten days, but it was actually delayed by two days, and the store sent a maintenance in order to apologize.

When his fingers swiped over the hood, he felt the unique sense of touch, and I couldn't wait for him to stop making noise, hurry up, Lao Tzu is going to drive.

The cauldron is watching various invoice procedures and the like.

After talking for about half an hour, Zhou Xiao got the key.

The two got into the car, fastened their seat belts, and pressed the start button.

Airplanes...

The sound of the engine is so small that you can hardly feel the vibration of the vehicle, it is worthy of a luxury car of nearly two million, open the window, say goodbye to the young ladies of a ticket, gently step on the accelerator, and the car slowly goes out.

After making sure that the head man couldn't see himself, Zhou Xiao couldn't help it, his shoulders began to shrug, his palms kept rubbing on the steering wheel, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

"Are you so happy?" said the cauldron with a smile: "It's a big star." ”

"Happy. Zhou Xiao's eyes widened: "This is the first car in my life." ”

"You have this kind of thinking, it's too feudal, it's the first time. ”

Zhou Xiao: "... Cauldron, it's time for you to lose weight. ”

"Why?"

"The manager said something just now, I think it's quite vivid, people who are too fat, even if they look down at a book, they feel like they are looking at the menu. ”

Cauldron:...

When the new car was on the road, it was indispensable to have to take a ride, and I didn't say where I was going, I drove it casually, and I walked for more than an hour before returning home.

Dad was already waiting downstairs, got in the car and gave a thumbs up.

It's just that when I went home for dinner, my parents suddenly quarreled.

Originally, according to the custom of the countryside, firecrackers were to be set off and red cloth strips were hung on the rearview mirror.

Mom directly vetoed it, how ugly, such an expensive car, directly dropped several grades.

"It's not going to hang all the time, it's just going to take a while. Dad patiently explained.

"You don't look at your son's identity, which celebrity will get these in the car?"

"Celebrities are also people. ”

"Can you not make a mess. ”

"What a mess is this? "Dad is in a hurry.

"You're still stubborn, aren't you? ”

For lunch, Lao Zhou's favorite beef noodles were made, and his mother got angry and took the bowl in front of him directly.

"Old thing, I just give it to the dog, and I won't give it to you!"

As he spoke, he put it directly in front of the cauldron: "You eat them all." ”

Cauldron:???

Xiaobai: ???

Back at home, Zhou Xiao took out a drawing board and a pen, and after dancing, he found another shortcoming, that is, painting.

It's so ugly!

Basically, it is similar to the feeling of a kindergarten child's graffiti, not to mention art or realism, when Brother Wang saw it for the first time, he silently said: My daughter draws better than you.

Frustration is not to mention.

It's not that Zhou Xiao wants to practice new talents, but that he needs to work.

Draw a storyboard.

Storyboard script, simply put, reflects the director's creative intention, you have a story in your heart, but others have no way to know the content in your head, draw the story context, intuitive, clear, is the intermediate medium to convert the text idea into a three-dimensional audio-visual image, is the photographer for shooting, the editor for post-production basis and blueprint, but also the actor and all the creative staff to understand the director's intention, understand the content of the script, the basis for recreation.

The image should be simple and easy to understand, and it doesn't need too many details.

But that's it, Zhou Xiao can't draw it, or the first reaction after seeing his sub-shots is to laugh, and he can't invest at all.

Liu Daqing can draw, but he doesn't have time, there are too many other things to be busy, so he simply hired two storyboarders, the task is very simple, but also difficult.

It's just that the three of them keep communicating, facing the script, facing the actors, facing the scene...

At first, it wasn't too smooth, I didn't know each other, I didn't know each other, the two storyboarders were very professional, but the things drawn were always a little bit less interesting.

However, as there were more and more exchanges, and there was a deeper understanding of the script, the progress came up.

It's a little troublesome to look at now, but with the sub-shot, after the filming starts, Zhou Xiao will take the past to talk to the actors, it will be much simpler, it can be regarded as bitter first and then sweet.

As for why he still has to practice now, it's not that he has any lofty revenge, but to what extent he must do it.

It's just too ugly, I'm always laughed at, and the lens script is not fixed, maybe I have new ideas when I shoot it, and I draw it a little better, and the storyboard artist can show the desired effect faster.

In the interval of discussion with them, Zhou Xiao learned a lot of basic knowledge, and then went to the Internet to search, searched for storyboards of major directors, and found suitable ones to imitate.

I don't know if I don't search, and I'm shocked when I search.

Feng Cannon, don't look at the babbling all day long, but he is really worthy of being born as an artist, and his storyboard manuscripts are the same as oil paintings.

Zhang Yimou, realism, rules and regulations,

Xing Ye, just like a comic, his facial expressions are vivid,

What Zhou Xiao wants to learn most is Jiang Wen, all of them are stickmen, and they can't talk about any scenes, which is very in line with his needs, because there is no skill to speak of, but the shortcomings are equally obvious, others... I don't understand!

In the end, he still chose Xingye's to study.

Anyway, an hour or two a day is used as a cultivation of sentiment.

The movie is about to start filming, and it can be said that except for Zhou Xiao himself, everyone else is busy with their feet not touching the ground.

The cauldron accompanies him to pick up the car, and he goes out immediately after lunch.

Taking on the position of producer for the first time, he is very serious and responsible.

A few days ago, the hotel near the filming location was negotiated, and by selling Zhou Xiao's name, he won a super cheap negotiated price, and the hotel of Samsung, 240 a day for a standard room, can be described as quite cheap.

The selection of lunch box suppliers has been run to many places, the sanitary conditions are the first, the taste is considered under the premise of cleanliness, more than 200 people, three meals a month, is a big business for any restaurant.

Someone actually thought of saying that he would give him a kickback, but the cauldron naturally refused sternly, just kidding, if he had a bad stomach, the responsibility should not be too big, and besides, he didn't look down on the tens of thousands of small money.

In addition to tasting it yourself, you will also bring takeaway to the company, and at least seventy percent of people will feel OK before they enter the final list, which can be said to be a winning restaurant selected layer by layer.

Not only that, but he also undertook the work of outreach, filming in the city, he always needed the assistance of some local personnel, and he ran the relationship inside, and even got a real SWAT vehicle as support.

Many seniors in the crew couldn't help but extend their thumbs when they saw the work results of the cauldron, and fully affirmed it, which is not at all like what a novice can do.

Then there is Deputy Director Liu Daqing, who is the busiest person in the crew, and there is no one.

From discussing the script, to assisting in the selection of actors, selecting scenes, checking and supervising the preparation of makeup, costumes, props, selecting shooting locations, specifying the scene and shooting plan...

The above is just the preparatory stage, and then the filming will begin, and there is more work waiting for him.

Liu Daqing's reason for not complaining is also more realistic, he gave a lot of money, and he didn't spend more time on this trip, but the income was achieved by completing at least two jobs before.

The most important thing is that he likes Zhou Xiao's attitude of shaking off his hands and being in charge, and a lot of the work he does is the director's responsibility, and it is also a matter of accumulated experience for him.

Especially Zhou Xiao is a little good, he doesn't understand things that he definitely doesn't understand, and then expresses unrealistic opinions, but humbly asks for advice, I am a novice director, I don't feel ashamed.

As an executive level, what I am most afraid of is blind command and blind coercion.

Everyone loves this director.

The actors are naturally not idle, memorizing the script is basic, and there is also experiencing life, Zhou Xiao feels that it is easy to detach from reality by relying on imagination to perform according to his own experience.

Actors who have access to find a place to intern by themselves, and if it is inconvenient, they can also help contact.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and the day of leaving the plane is getting closer and closer.
