Chapter 907: It's more appropriate for you to sing
"Because that little girl got the wrong prop?" A middle-aged man on the side also asked Xiao Yao curiously.
Although Yin Xi is the only one in the first shot just shot, this scene is a scene of the heroine at home, and the heroine's parents and younger brother are all going to appear, and the actors who play these three roles are naturally also on the scene. The middle-aged man who spoke was called Gao Jianming, and he was the actor who played the heroine's father in the play.
"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.
"Huh~" Gao Jianming smiled, "I've filmed so many scenes, and it's the first time I've seen the crew have such rules!"
Gao Jianming is in his fifties, he is a veteran actor in Huaxia, and he has starred in many film and television works.
"Mr. Xiao, what are the specific rules?" Yu Shaoting, who played the heroine's younger brother on the side, also smiled and asked Xiao Yao, "Can you tell me about it, lest I be punished for doing something wrong!"
"Since it's a rule, it's all agreed and explained before signing the contract!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The matter of fines is only for behind the scenes, and you actors are not bad for money, and fines are useless to you!"
"Who said that actors are not bad for money?" Gao Jianming said with a smile, "Xiaoyu and these young people are not bad for money, and it is not easy for my old guy to make money." ”
Gao Jianming has been acting for nearly 30 years, playing the leading role when he was young in the last century, and now he only switches to supporting roles when he is older. This kind of actor has a very high status in the circle, in addition to being not as famous as those traffic stars, the economy is definitely not bad.
However, Xiao Yao knew that Gao Jianming was joking when he said this, so he didn't refute it, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then talk to Teacher Gao." The rule I am talking about is that our company-led film and television projects are not allowed to be goofs!"
"The idea is good!" Gao Jianming nodded with a smile, "But people are not machines, so there is no guarantee that they will never make mistakes, right?"
"There's no way to guarantee it, you can only try your best!" Xiao Yao said, "So the fine is our company's means to minimize goofs." ”
"What kind of charter is it?" said Gao Jianming with a smile.
"Our company has a special person who is responsible for checking the footage that the crew shoots every day. Xiao Yao said, "If a goofhole is discovered, in addition to reporting to the crew to arrange a reshoot, the person in charge of the filming and the head of the department will be fined." We will make detailed shooting records, and the relevant responsible persons can be found. If it is not checked, it is cut in during the post-editing, and it is discovered by the audience and netizens after the broadcast, then the person in charge of checking the material will be punished!"
"Someone is responsible for checking the goofs?" Gao Jianming was surprised.
"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, and continued, "There are only a few kinds of goofs, mainly the props, costumes, and photography departments! If the props are wrong or different, that's the props department. For example, there is a live radio microphone at the top of the screen, and there are modern buildings and objects in costume dramas, such as telephone poles, cars, etc., which is the responsibility of the photography department. ”
"Of course, if the photographer makes a mistake, such as accidentally shooting the microphone after not standing still and shaking it for a while, pointing it out on the spot and reshooting it immediately, this does not count. Xiao Yao added, "But if it's discovered by someone else, then forget it." ”
"So strict?" Gao Jianming said, "It's a lot of pressure to film your crew!"
"The higher the requirements, the higher the pay, of course. Xiao Yao said, "In our company's projects, the remuneration for these behind-the-scenes personnel will be slightly higher than that of the same grade personnel in the industry." We fined to reduce errors, and this high department can withstand at least two fines. In other words, as long as there are more than two goofs in the things that you don't handle, the income will not be less than that of people of the same grade in the same project. ”
"Also, even if it's wrong and it's not checked, you won't suffer. Xiao Yao continued, "Under normal circumstances, the crew will be disbanded after the finale, and everyone will be paid." If it is discovered by the audience after the broadcast, it is impossible for us to chase people to fine. It is the regular employees of our company who check the goofs, and they are deducted from their salaries, and they are also under a lot of pressure. ”
"Since it is a special person who is responsible for checking the materials filmed by the crew, then why do you let Xiao Wei and Xiao Zhang pay the fine tomorrow now?" Gao Jianming asked puzzledly, "We haven't filmed this scene today!"
"This goofs check is for all the footage filmed, regardless of whether the director has shouted it or not. Xiao Yao said, "Also, it's not just people who can find goofs and lenses. If someone else, such as a director or cameraman, finds a goofhole during filming, the person responsible will also be fined. I'm not a director or a cinematographer, but that's okay. The camera was already on and I was shooting, and I found out, just like the director or the cinematographer found out!"
"I see!" Gao Jianming nodded and said with a smile, "Interesting!"
"If the director doesn't find out, the director is also responsible, right?" Chen Jun heard Xiao Yao say this, and asked, "Why didn't you think about punishing the director?"
"According to this, the actor is also responsible!" Yu Shaoting also said, "The clothes or things on my body are different, is the actor himself also responsible?"
"Yo, Xiao Yu, are you saying that Yin Xi should also be fined?" Chen Jun looked at Yu Shaoting with a smile.
"No, no!" Yu Shaoting reacted, waved his hand again and again, and said to Yin Xi, "I didn't mean that, I was just curious, just talking about things, and I didn't say what Sister Xi meant! ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Yin Xi said with a smile, "I know the rules of their company." I asked the same question as you did, so listen to him!"
"Directors and actors are both creators, and the focus should be on creation. These small details can be found better, and if they are not discovered, they should not be responsible. Xiao Yao said, "What the director should consider is how to shoot, focusing on the actors' performances, the composition and lighting of the shots, etc., rather than looking for goofs in the picture like playing to find faults." The actor's focus should be on figuring out the role, and in the performance, he shouldn't focus on remembering what I wore in the last scene, what I wore and what I carried. ”
"Makes sense!" Gao Jianming nodded.
"Then I'll be relieved!" Yu Shaoting breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought that because you were also a director and actor yourself, you didn't punish directors and actors!" Chen Jun smiled at Xiao Yao.
"How is that possible?" Yin Xi said with a smile, "This guy is known for having a good memory. There was no him in the scene the day before yesterday, he just watched from the sidelines, and he remembered that the bag I used was different!"
"That's not right!" Yin Xi said this, looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Since you remember that my bag is different, then why didn't I say it when I was in the position before?" I don't believe you only remembered it when you were officially shooting. ”
In this scene, there is a Yin Xi who takes off the bag on his body and puts it on the sofa in the living room after entering the door, so when the actor moves before the start of filming, Yin Xi also carries this bag on his back.
"Yes!" The others also remembered this stubble and looked at Xiao Yao one after another.
"It's recorded in the camera. Xiao Yao smiled, "At that time, didn't there be no reason to be fined?"
The shooting task tonight is not heavy, there is only this scene, Xiao Yao doesn't care about delaying so much longer.
"So you did it on purpose!" Yin Xi suddenly pointed at Xiao Yao and smiled, "You are really bad enough!"
"Fortunately, the costumes and bags for this play are all in charge of the costume team!" said the head of the props team, "I originally liked that Xiao Yao came to the set when he was fine, but now that I look at it, it doesn't seem to be a good thing!"
Let's not mention that there is a possibility that others may have missed the goofs when they were inspected, but they were all discovered, and it was not the same as being found out by Xiao Yao at the scene. Being found out by Xiao Yao in front of so many people in such a crew, in addition to a fine, it is also a shame, so Xiao Yao stays on the set all day long, which is really not a good thing for these staff members of the crew.
"Of course it's not a good thing!" Xiao Yao smiled and looked at the rest of the crew, "I am the main investor in this project, and your remuneration is mine." The more you are fined, the lower the cost of my project. You all have to be careful, I'm just here to find fault!"
"Ah~" a group of people wailed deliberately.
"It seems to be my pot!" Yin Xi said to Xiao Yao, "If it wasn't for my request, you wouldn't have come to the set so often, right?"
"What's the matter, change your mind and won't let me be your live performance director?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.
"Think beautiful!" Yin Xi said, "It's a big deal that you found out those goofs of shots, and I'll fine them for them!"
"Xiao Wei, how much is the penalty for a goof?" Yin Xi turned his head and asked Wei Qingdao, the leader of the costume group on the side.
The people in the costume group on one side didn't talk much, but after listening to Yin Xi's words at this moment, they hurriedly waved their hands and said, "No, no!"
"These rules were made clear to us before we signed the contract. Wei Qingdao, "Mr. Xiao and their company set these rules, but also for the quality of the work. This time it was true that our costume team made a mistake, and even though we were punished, I still think the rules are pretty good. If you help us pay the fine, the rule will be meaningless!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yao looked at Wei Qing and nodded slightly.
"Okay, since there is a guy like Xiao Yao here, everyone cheers up. Chen Jun clapped his hands and said, "Everyone prepare, let's shoot the back shots first!"
The crew moved. Xiao Yao just said that he wanted to find fault, so he didn't go over to help at this time, and sat down behind Chen Jun and watched coldly.
After this night's shooting, Yin Xi felt a little embarrassed. Originally, there was no scene for Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao didn't go to the set, she pulled Xiao Yao there. With Xiao Yao's memory and observation ability, even if he is watching from the sidelines, his ability to find faults is estimated to be higher than that of those who sit in front of the screen in young film and television companies and look for goofs in front of the shooting materials.
However, these rules were negotiated and accepted by the staff before signing the contract, and Xiao Yao did this for the sake of the quality of the work, so Yin Xi was only a little embarrassed and didn't care too much. From the bottom of his heart, Yin Xi even likes to watch Xiao Yao pick the fault of the staff in the crew, because it also shows Xiao Yao's extraordinary ability in memory and observation. It's just that what Yin Xi didn't expect was that Xiao Yao's "finding fault" not only included the crew of the crew, but also her Yin Xi herself.
One day a week after the crew started filming, after the crew returned to the hotel after work, Xiao Yao suddenly stopped Yin Xi, who was about to go back to the room to rest.
"What, do you want to talk to me about tomorrow's play in advance?" Yin Xi asked Xiao Yaodao.
There was no night scene arrangement on this day, the crew finished work relatively early, and it was just past dinner time, so Yin Xi thought that Xiao Yao was going to play against her.
"No!" Xiao Yao shook his head, "I just sent you an email, take a look!"
"E-mail, what e-mail?" Yin Xi said suspiciously, taking out his mobile phone.
"An episode written for our TV series. Xiao Yao said.
"The OST song you wrote for this TV series?" Yin Xi smiled, "You have already written one, for Liang Xueying or for Lian Yiling?"
"But why don't you send it to them directly, why send it to me?" Yin Xi continued, "You won't give me a review first, right? I can't give you any opinions on music, as long as you write it, I will think it is good!"
Having said that, Yin Xi was still operating on his mobile phone to log in to his email, wanting to see what the song Xiao Yao wrote was like.
"It's not for them, it's for you!" Xiao Yao said, "I plan to let you sing this song!"
"What? for me?" Yin Xi said in surprise, "Didn't you say before that I can't sing with a voice, I can't be a singer, I can only be an actor?"
"It's really almost funny to transform into a professional singer, but of course it's a joke to say that you can't sing!" Xiao Yao smiled, "You can sing this song!"
"Can I?" said Yin Xi with some uncertainty.
"Of course you can!" Xiao Yao said, "Anyone like Zhaodi can release a single, what can't you do!"
Yin Xi heard Xiao Yao compare her with the most unsung person in the idol girl group, and immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, no! This would be just another time, but in this drama, you found Liang Xueying and Lian Yiling to sing the OST, and the songs I sang were put together with them, and they were not even left with scum in seconds? I will be laughed to death by netizens! No, no, no! You can find someone else to sing!"
"If you can't do it, you have to do it!" Xiao Yao said, "This song was written by me for this TV series, you are the heroine of this TV series, it is most suitable for you to sing!" After a pause, Xiao Yao continued, "The audience knows that you are not a professional singer, and they will not compare your singing skills with Liang Xueying and Lian Yiling." Besides, I'll record this song for you, and I'll guide you how to sing it! My production ability, coupled with the plot bonus of the heroine of the TV series, the audience will not sound much worse than the songs of Liang Xueying and Lian Yiling. ”
"Really?" Yin Xihu said suspiciously.
"Of course it's true!" Xiao Yao nodded, "There are two audio software in the email attachment, one is the sample I recorded, one is the accompaniment of the song, and the other is the lyrics. I know you can't read music, so I didn't write you a score. In the past two days, you will watch the lyrics, listen to the accompaniment, and listen to the samples, so as to familiarize yourself with them first. There is no scene for the two of us to shoot in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, so you can go to the studio with me to record!"
The crew only requires the actors not to act, not to require the actors not to leave the crew during filming. Xiao Yao's recording studio is in Shencheng, and when the two of them have not played for half a day, they can leave the crew and go to the recording studio to record. Just talk to the director, it's not considered a leave.
"Huh, will you start recording the day after tomorrow?" Yin Xi said in surprise.
"Yes!" Xiao Yao said, "After writing the songs of Liang Xueying and Lian Yiling, I will take the time to help them record later!"
"The song for the two of them hasn't been written yet, so why don't you just give this song to one of them?" Yin Xi said.
"No!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "It's not that people with good singing skills are the most suitable to sing any song! I think this song is more suitable for you to sing than those two!
"This~okay!" Yin Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Xiao Yao wrote songs for her, and personally guided her to sing and help her make them, which is also a good thing in the final analysis.
"Are you still playing against each other that night?" Xiao Yao asked.
"What's right?" Yin Xi glanced at Xiao Yao, "Do you think I'm you?" I'm going to record it the day after tomorrow, and I don't know if I can learn a song in two nights. I don't even know what this song is like now, I have to go back and listen to it!"
"Don't worry," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I didn't ask you to record this song in the afternoon the day after tomorrow!"
"Then at least you have to be able to sing, right?" Yin Xi said, "When I can't record, I have to let you teach me sentence by sentence!"
"Oh!" Xiao Yao nodded, "Then you study hard!"
"Hmm!" Yin Xi agreed, turned around and walked to his room.
Yin Xi took two steps, suddenly stopped and turned around, looked at Xiao Yao suspiciously, and said, "You don't want to play against me, that's why you wrote me such a song, right?"
"Then do you think you need to play against me every night?" Xiao Yao asked instead of answering.
Yin Xi was the first actor to get the script except for Xiao Yao, and he had been preparing for this play for a long time. Although Yin Xi is the first time to play the female lead, the female lead in this urban drama is actually not so difficult to perform. Yin Xi is not a newcomer who has never acted now, he has accumulated a lot of acting experience over the years, and he has carefully prepared for such a long time, which is completely manageable. Whether it is to ask Xiao Yao to go to the set to be her live performance director, or to find Xiao Yao to talk to her whenever he is free, there is actually not much need.
Xiao Yao discovered this very early. He felt that the reason why Yin Xi did this seemed to be to stay with him more. It is not necessary to tell her about the drama, Xiao Yao himself is a little annoyed, but it is not easy to say it directly, so he wants to find another thing for her to do.
Yin Xi stared at Xiao Yao for a moment, but didn't answer, turned around and went back to the room.
