One of the aspects of making a movie that cannot be ignored is saving money.

There will be one or two people in each crew, who are struggling to follow behind the director:

"Oops, you're overspending, oops, that's too expensive..."

He is the producer, representing the investor and grasping the budget of the crew.

It can be said that it is a character who works against the director.

For the sake of the quality of the movie, the director had a flash of inspiration, and that is money!

In addition to saving on expenses, the most important thing is time control, a huge team, every day to eat, stay, rent a venue, etc.

As a result, many scenes in the same place, as long as there are conditions, will be filmed intensively, and only the set needs to be changed slightly.

For actors, there is no coherence in acting, the last scene may be a stranger, the next time it will become a friend or hostile relationship, and the plot does not match at all.

I don't act according to the script, basically the first day to two days, and only inform the content to be filmed the next day, and when I arrive at the scene, there may be temporary changes.

As an actor, Zhou Xiao still lacks experience, so he just made a movie, and the characters in it are not at the same level as Lu Yingying, whether it is the way of acting, the lines, or the mental journey.

Of course, there is no such thing as who is superior or inferior, just different roles.

For a week, he really only had six hours of sleep a day, and when it came to night plays, it was even shorter.

When I got home, no matter what time it was, I hid in my room to read the script, study the characters, watch the videos recorded by Brother Wang, and take performance notes...

The whole person has no energy at all, but saves a lot of makeup effort.

Of course, there are benefits, the shooting is divided into two parts, Jinling, and beyond.

Zhou Xiao's scenes are all in Jinling, and he doesn't need to go to India.

He played a lot of roles in Lu Ying, and he was with the protagonist, with more than three scenes every day, and his state could be maintained all the time.

Moreover, if this progress can be maintained, the original one-and-a-half-month shooting is estimated to be much earlier.

...

"OK, cut, call it a day for now. ”

"It's been a long time, it's been a hard time..."

Zhou Xiao took off his mask and thanked the actors and staff.

"Tomorrow you're the afternoon play, you can come back after a good night's sleep. The assistant director reminded with a notebook.

"Thank you, Director. ”

As the host, Zhou Xiao is not stingy, a car of drinks is pulled, and occasionally dozens of chickens will be called over to the staff to beat the tooth sacrifice.

Don't underestimate these small favors, the most important thing is to reflect the importance of it, you are an actor, you are polite to everyone, you still have the water you bought in your hand, no matter what you do, you will have a snack, and the courtesy is still the common feeling of people.

I went to the car to change my clothes, and when I handed them over to the costume maker, the eldest sister lowered her voice a little mysteriously: "I know that you love cleanliness, tomorrow's clothes have been washed." ”

"Thank you, sister, I know that you are good to me. Zhou Xiao put on a big smile.

"You're welcome. ”

After saying goodbye to the director, Zhou Xiao returned to the car.

"Go home or go out to eat first?" Brother Wang asked, turning around.

Today ended early, and there was no night play, so I ended at five o'clock.

Zhou Xiao rolled his neck: "You call Mr. Guo and ask him where he is, if you have time, let's go together." ”

"Okay. ”

With my eyes closed, I reviewed today's scenes, NG a few times, because I ate screws when I said my lines, because I had to speak the magic capital, sometimes I couldn't concentrate, and I jumped out of Jinling, which was harmless, but it made the tense shooting a little easier.

Director Wen is different from Director Wu Jing, he will not talk to the actors in too much detail, but simply indicate the effect I want, and how to act is your business.

Zhou Xiao was really unaccustomed to it at first, but slowly felt that this had improved him a lot, and forced him to study the script, roles, scenes and other aspects, and integrate all factors to make the most suitable performance.

If you don't study, then wait to be scolded.

I remember that on the third or fourth day, Zhou Xiao was scolded once, because his emotions were not in place, he was crazy NG, a more than ten second shot, and he shot for more than an hour, and the angry director dropped the script directly.

Zhou Xiao didn't know what was wrong, probably out of state, there was no way to do it, he couldn't calm down, so he took a bottle of ice water, went to a corner where no one was, poured it down, and thought there alone.

Not to mention, it's quite effective.

After coming back, I was full of energy, and I didn't even have NG in the back, all at once, but I made up for some time.

Later, after work, Xu Zheng came to chat with him, and asked Zhou Xiao not to rest assured that the director was angry, the director was under pressure, and it was normal to get angry, even if he made a mistake, he would be scolded, it was nothing.

It is also common for actors to encounter a point when filming, everyone has a different way to solve it, what has been in the past is over, everyone is for the good of the work.

Zhou Xiao also benefited a lot.

"Mr. Guo said that he was free, let us go over and pick him up. Brother Wang interrupted Zhou Xiao's contemplation.

"He'll be blessed, did you say where to eat?"

"Cantonese restaurant near your house, but do you want to take a shower or something?"

"Forget it, I've taken a lot of photos, and I don't pay much attention to it. ”

After filming for a week, in addition to Dachang, I went to several other places in Jinling.

Naturally, fans are indispensable to watch, Reuters photos or something.

Zhou Xiao's decadent makeup can be seen everywhere on the Internet, and going to eat with an oily head is no longer a big deal.

However, fans felt sorry for him, and after seeing the photo, they left messages on Weibo.

"Brother Xiao, you have really lost a lot of weight, you must take care of yourself. ”

"It's not easy to make a movie, you can eat with your face, so why bother. ”

"Sure enough, it's the man I fancy, come on, you're the best!"

"I really want to visit the class, is there anyone to organize it? ”

"Brother Xiao, filming is very hard, and nutrition must be guaranteed. ”

"It's very hot in Jinling now, I'm distressed, and I have to wear a sweater to shoot. ”

"Serious men are the most handsome!"

"Looking at the photo, if you didn't know that it was making a movie, you would really think that Brother Xiao was sick. ”

"What is acting like, the future actor, Brother Xiao, Chong Ya !!"

Sometimes when I go home, I lie in bed tired and half-dead, looking at the messages of fans, which is really inspiring.

The car drove for more than half an hour, and the cauldron was already waiting on the side of the road, beckoning, and stopped.

"How can the big stars have time to eat together today?" said the cauldron with some difficulty in fastening his seat belt.

"You pay. Zhou Xiao blinked his eyelids.

"Okay, it's not a problem at all, Jianhong, walk. ”

"I see you're excited, what's the good thing?" Zhou Xiao knew the cauldron too well.

"Hehe, you've found out," he smirked, "I won the heroine of the TV series in early summer." ”

"Damn, you can!" Zhou Xiao leaned over the chair in front of him: "When is it?"

"I just signed a contract this afternoon, ancient costumes, with an investment of 80 million, which is considered a medium and large-scale production. ”

"That's going to have to be celebrated, what about early summer?"

"I haven't come back yet. ”

No wonder the two of them are happy, a single flower is not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom in spring.

For a long time, Dao Sui has been supported by Zhou Xiao alone, and several other actors are still running tricks in their hard work, and the cauldron is embarrassed to pump their money.

Not long after the early summer came, she became the heroine, whether it is for the company or for others, it has an incentive effect, and it is good for future development.

The three of them chatted and chatted, and then they arrived at the place.

"Mr. Guo, Zhou Xiao, I won't go up, it's rare to get off work early and go back to accompany the children. Brother Wang turned around and said.

"Are you sure you don't want to take a bite before leaving?" said the cauldron casually.

"No, Zhou Xiao, I'll come and pick you up at half past twelve tomorrow. ”

"I know Brother Wang. ”

"Well, we're the two of us left, let's go. ”

The restaurant selected by the big pot has a good business, it is a place to eat snacks, as soon as I sat down, the cart happened to pass by, and the two of them took several small steamers with four hands.

"Bring you a pigeon to make up for it?"

"Yes. ”

"Drinks?"

"Tea is good, and two more cages of shrimp dumplings. ”

"Okay, roast wheat. ”

"Don't be too oily, take a portion of cheong fun. ”

After eating the sea, Zhou Xiao took a sip of tea with satisfaction.

Now he can lose weight, as long as he keeps it, the daily calorie consumption is already very much, and it doesn't matter if he eats something.

The cauldron continued: "You see, since the change of shape, the probability of being recognized is much smaller. ”

Zhou Xiao looked around, indeed, no one noticed him at all.

The makeup on his face has not been removed, and he is wearing flat glasses in the play, even if he is a fan, he may not be able to recognize it at first glance.

"I can finally get a good night's sleep. ”

"Has the filming been going well these days?" the cauldron rarely asked, mainly for fear of burdening him.

"It's ok. ”

Ding dong!

Here comes a WeChat.

Click on it to see that the avatar is a beautiful young lady.

"I saw your stills on the Internet, don't skip eating, it won't affect the state, the current appearance is already haggard. ”

Zhou Xiao smiled and took a photo of the food in front of him and sent it over.

"Received, and executed immediately, thank you Ms. Meng for your concern, what are you doing?"

The cauldron was stunned!

What the heck?

When do you take pictures during meals?

I've known you for almost seven years, and I'm still seeing you for the first time!

Typing?

With a cheap smile?

There is a case!!

"I happened to be watching the singer, and I saw the picture of your cameo, so I sent a WeChat. ”

"Eh, didn't you say you saw the photos, why is it a show again?"

After a long time, the reply came.

"I can't watch the news and watch the video at the same time. ”

"Yes, by the way, didn't you say that the little cake was delicious last time, why don't you address me and send you some?"

"Okay, okay, even if you have a conscience, seriously, I'm still thinking about it when I get home. ”

"Okay, tomorrow, I'll let the agent buy it. ”

"Well, you eat first, and you have to concentrate when you eat. ”

"Actually, I can be on one side..."

After thinking about it, Zhou Xiao still deleted these words: "Okay!"

When I looked up, I saw the cauldron looking at me in a daze.

"What?"

"Isn't it a young lady?"

"Nosy. ”

"Come and tell my brother, whose girl it is, how does she look, do you know anyone in the crew, and how is her development..."

"!"

"Don't be shy..."
