Chapter 17: A master
With the help of the people from Han Yan Studio, Chen Fei doesn't have to worry about many things.
Rent a venue, solve the problem of accommodation and food, and the staff of each group will contact and cooperate......
Chen Fei's task is to choose a role. "An Empty City" does not use any famous roles except for Han Yan, and several important characters are just more familiar in the circle. found someone to send an invitation to these people, and the extras film and television base was everywhere, and in three days, most of the actors in the movies in the previous life were found!
This is a good sign.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Chen Fei said to the assistant director: "Hurry up, strive to get it done in a month, and start filming!"
The assistant director's name is He Yilong, in his thirties, known as the "Millennium Assistant Director" in the circle, this product has been mixed with large and small crews for more than ten years, it is earlier than Ren Yi's debut, he has made movies with an investment of hundreds of millions, and he does not dislike those who have invested three or two million. In the words of his recent graduation from the directing school: Don't be a picky eater, live to learn all the time, all blockbusters need to be accumulated and thin, if you want to be a grandfather, you must first learn to be a grandson.
He was a grandson for seven or eight years. In the name of assistant director, he does all kinds of work, including helping the director to let off steam. Then one day it dawned on me: the whole world is full of people who deceive the world and steal fame. Those famous directors are okay, and those who are not so famous ...... Gee...... All of them have bright resumes, but they may not be the brother-in-law of the coal boss before. He does the work of the director, but he has the name of assistant director, and he does everything, and the director goes to the actress's room to talk at night, but he doesn't have his share......
So in He Yilong's heart, except for those really powerful directors, the rest are a group of hooligans.
I heard that the director this time is Ren Yi. Hehe...... He has heard of this grandson for a long time, seven or eight years ago, a drama was confused and famous, and then Jiang Lang was exhausted in minutes, no matter how good the book was in his hands, he could shoot Cheng Xiang, and even the famous movie "First There is a Rooster and Then There Are Eggs" is not necessarily made by others. has no real skills, but bad habits have been dyed a lot, how many little models, girls who have just graduated from film and television schools are planted in his hands, and it is too polite to say that he is a hooligan, and he is a beast.
If it's not for 300,000, who will come?
It is estimated that the filming process will take a month, and he can get 300,000 yuan a month, which is a lot of money for him. It's hard and tired, worry a little, and endure it, as long as the director doesn't let him go when he goes to the actress's room to talk about the play.
can hear Chen Fei's sentence "Let's start shooting", He Yilong's mood is extremely complicated.
Made, another whiteneck.
What an idiot it must be to say this. Don't you run the track first? Don't you audition and tune the machine? At least there is no boot ceremony? Okay, these are floating clouds, but you are telling the actors......
He Yilongpi asked Chen Fei with a smile: "Little brother, face sheng, what about Director Ren's brother-in-law?"
Chen Fei: "He has something, and he is not here these days." ”
He Yilong: "Then let's wait a few days, after all, the big director hasn't arrived......"
Chen Fei: "Han Yan didn't tell you that I am the person in charge?"
He Yilong: "I said it, but it's ......"
Chen Fei understood what he meant, and directly put down a sentence: "Listen to me." Shoot the effect I want, and I'll give you 500,000 yuan. ”
The perfunctory on He Yilong's face was gone, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he shouted with a loudspeaker: "Attention all departments, prepare to start filming, the first shot and the first scene, hurry up." Hurry up without makeup, and change your ......clothes without changing your clothes."
He Yilong faced Chen Fei again, with a smile on his face: "Boss, you don't need a mask, sunglasses and a hat, I can mix in the circle for more than ten years, and many big directors are willing to ask me to be my deputy, in addition to professionalism, the tone is the strictest." When you go to talk to the girl in the evening, I can help you ......."
Chen Fei: "......"
He Yilong followed: "Boss, what are you doing?"
Chen Fei: "Salesman." ”
He Yilong paused for a moment: "It's okay, it's okay...... The director is mainly peddling his own ideas and ideas, in fact, in some ways, the nature of the salesman is the same. If you can do a good job in sales, you will definitely be able to be a good director. This job, as lofty as it sounds, is actually something that anyone can do. You just sit on a chair next to you, eat a popsicle, drink a soda or something, and leave the shooting work to me. If you're interested, I can also teach you some shooting techniques. ”
Chen Fei: "......"
He Yilong: "Boss, I still have an advantage, I drink very well." Beer is boiled water, and liquor can drink two and a half catties, hehehe...... I heard that you voted for this drama for Han Yan, and you will have a dinner at night, and I will be responsible for putting down all her assistants or something......"
Chen Fei: "......"
The actors are in place, the props are in place, the departments are ready, and He Yilong is still walking to the machine.
The first scene of the first shot: In a dilapidated room, Han Yan was wearing a cotton jacket from the Republic of China, she was seriously ill, her husband died, her only son also died, she was lying on the bed, she had nothing to love, and a kerosene lamp flickered on and off. An old mother is bitter and mean, a housekeeper is scheming, and a small long-term worker stands behind the housekeeper with his head down, with a lot of worries, and heaven and man are at war......
He Yilong looked at the picture on the screen and was surprised to find that this Han Yan not only sang well, but also acted really well, at least, much better than those facial paralysis acting skills.
"Click!"
He Yilong was startled, and when he turned around, Chen Fei didn't know when he was behind him, staring at the screen. This made him very unhappy, you said that you are a salesman, and you are indiscriminately clicking coal. This is a good shot, I think it's good as a professional director, are you trying to play prestige?
Chen Fei was even more unhappy, on a hot day, he was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, a hat under the sweatshirt and hat, and his eyes and masks were about to wheez, not afraid of being recognized. If it weren't for Han Yan's previous waves, where would there be these moths today: "Han Yan, what are you doing again? Are you lying in bed in a daze? Why are you seriously ill! Your husband has been killed! Your son has also been killed! The family property is about to be taken away, where is the sadness? Where is the despair? Where is the deep anger? Does the script say that you will shed tears? Is there any way to express your sadness? Is there only one way to express your sadness?"
"Click! you...... Auntie, will you roll your eyes? Yes, yes...... It's just rolling your eyes at me, and when you get to the second sentence of your line, that's it. ”
"Click! He Yilong, remake a version, the camera slowly pushes forward......"
If it weren't for 500,000, He Yilong would really want to pick a pick. But soon found that after being stuck by Chen Fei a few times, and after being commanded by Chen Fei to move the camera a few times, the things that were shot were really different from the original.
Maybe ordinary people see it, it's no different.
But as a director who was born in a professional class, has been in the circle for more than ten years, and is proficient in various shooting techniques, He Yilong is keenly aware of the unusual. Maybe what Chen Fei said doesn't have any professional vocabulary, but it can always be just right for the camera to show the brightest points of the actors.
He felt as if he was a martial arts master stuck in a bottleneck, while Chen Fei was rude, simple and direct to break through his bottleneck, giving him a feeling of enlightenment.
Is this really a white neck?
No, this is a master, a master worthy of his good learning!
