"You eat slowly, I'll go back to the room and take a shower first, I'll see you later!" Xiao Yao wiped out the egg cake in his hand in two bites, got up and took his helmet and sunglasses, and said to the three people.

Since he has already agreed, Xiao Yao will not delay. The three of them could set off after eating, but Xiao Yao went out to ride in the morning and sweated a little, and he had to go back to the room to take a shower and change clothes.

After saying goodbye to the three of them, Xiao Yao went back to the room to take a shower and change his clothes, and cleaned up a little. By the time he was ready to stop, it was almost eight o'clock. The shooting scene was some distance from the hotel, and at this time it was almost time for Chen Jun and the others to set off, so Xiao Yao went downstairs to meet Chen Jun and the others.

When Xiao Yao went downstairs, the people who set off from the hotel to the set had almost arrived. After Xiao Yao went downstairs, he got into the crew's car and waited for a long time, and the team set off.

This is a modern urban drama, there are no scenes that need to be done with special effects, all are live-action shooting, and there is no part of shooting in the studio. The two scenes to be filmed this morning were in a coffee shop, and the crew rented a real coffee shop for filming. This coffee shop is not in a busy area, so although it is the morning rush hour after 8 o'clock in the morning, and there is a lot of traffic on the road, the crew did not encounter traffic jams along the way. More than 20 minutes later, the group arrived at the filming location.

After Chen Jun and his entourage arrived, Yin Xi did not immediately enter the coffee shop where the filming was filmed, but took the script to the crew's makeup car to change costumes and makeup. There was no Xiao Yao's role in these two scenes in the morning, Xiao Yao didn't need to put on makeup, and after getting out of the car, he followed Chen Jun to the coffee shop where he was filming.

The crew's notice says that filming starts at nine o'clock, which does not mean that everyone in the crew will start work at nine o'clock. This start time is written for the actors, and before the actors arrive, part of the crew needs to arrive at the filming location earlier to prepare for the filming in advance.

When Chen Jun and Xiao Yao entered the coffee shop, the store was busy. People from the lighting, photography, props, recording and other departments of the crew are arranging machinery and equipment to prepare for a while's shooting.

Each director has his own style, no matter how big it is, directors from different backgrounds will have different characteristics when filming.

The director is a director with a professional background, and basically does not interfere with the work of the camera crew before and during shooting. When shooting, it is only necessary to communicate with the head of the photography team whether the shooting lens is enough, and the aperture, focal length, and even the lighting during the specific shooting do not care, and all are commanded by the head of the photography team.

Some directors with a background in photography will personally participate in the arrangement of camera positions and lights before shooting, and will also give direct instructions to the photographer and gaffer during shooting. In this case, the photographer is basically reduced to a handheld.

Chen Jun is a director with a professional background. Xiao Yao said that young people's film and television-led projects should be filmed as movies for TV dramas, and this is also the case. The head of the crew's camera crew is a cinematographer who has made movies. Chen Jun quite recognizes the ability of this photographer, and he will not point fingers at some specific arrangements and operations.

The scenery and the like on the scene were discussed by Chen Jun with the camera crew and props team before, and he didn't have to worry about the camera placement and lighting of the camera crew, so he could arrive later than the people in these departments and come with the actress Yin Xi. Now after entering the coffee shop, Chen Jun does not participate in the arrangement of the on-site staff, but sits down in the director's position behind the monitors that have been placed, and asks the assistant director about the progress of the on-site preparations and the situation of other actors.

In this crew, Xiao Yao is not a director, and he doesn't need to do the work of a director, but this does not change the fact that Xiao Yao is also a director. Xiao Yao came to the filming venue this morning to check Yin Xi's performance, and the filming has not started yet, Xiao Yao has nothing to do, so he went to chat with the staff who arranged the scene.

Because he had decided not to be a director before, when discussing the shooting plan in the early stage, Xiao Yao only participated in the discussion of the shooting plan with his own role. There was no him in the two scenes this morning, only Yin Xi, so Xiao Yao didn't know what the whole shooting plan was, so he took the opportunity to find out.

Xiao Yao is different from Chen Jun. Although he is now a double master's degree student in directing and acting at Yandian, he has already worked as a director and made short and feature films before entering Yandian. Therefore, Xiao Yao is not a typical style of a professional director. At the same time, although Xiao Yao can take pictures, he is not a director with a background in photography.

When Xiao Yao followed Xiao Chengru to mix with the crew when he was a child, he asked about everything in the crew. In the eyes of others, this is just a child's curiosity, but in fact, Xiao Yao, who is extremely mature in mental age and has a very good brain, has learned a lot of things solidly. Later, when Xiao Yao grew up, except for the "crazy" when filming "Lingyunzhi", whether it was filming MVs, guest appearances in TV series, or acting in movies, he learned everything in the crew.

Really calculated, Xiao Yao should be similar to the kind of director who climbs up step by step from the bottom, and has a good understanding of various techniques of film. In the work of each department, he can specifically say that he is ugly.

Therefore, Xiao Yao went to chat with those on-site staff to understand the shooting plan, not to interfere with other people's work, to make trouble for others, and when communicating with them about the shooting plan, Xiao Yao can also give some suggestions in terms of scenery, camera position, and lighting. Although Xiao Yao didn't do anything, he just moved his mouth, which can be regarded as giving some help to those staff.

When Xiao Yao was filming "The Tuner", the crew of that crew went for the remuneration on the one hand, and the luxurious cast on the other hand. In their eyes, the short film was actually a means for Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying to support their son.

There are a lot of directors who are the so-called actors and directors, and even writers and other cross-border directors have also been, some of them have seen a lot of directors who don't understand anything, and the whole crew revolves around the photographer or producer during filming, and the so-called director is to sit in front of the monitor and pretend to shout a "card" when a media reporter comes to interview, and then call the actor over to say a few words to make a look.

There are many geniuses touted by media reports, and for some people, it is still convincing when seeing is believing. Specific to Xiao Yao, the media boasted that Xiao Yao was mostly in music and acting, and did not say that he was still a genius director. In their minds, this short film is just another pretending to be a funny film, and before filming started, no one believed that the eighteen-year-old boy was really the "director" of the crew.

But after filming started, the crew members were all dumbfounded.

Xiao Yao is really the director of that short film, from the setting before shooting, the angle and position of the camera, the lighting arrangement, the review after the shooting, and the decision whether to reshoot, all of which are personally participated and made by Xiao Yao. Except for asking Xiao Chengru to help shout "start" and "card" when there is a scene of Xiao Yao, this crew has no producer, and no media reporters have visited the class during the entire filming period, and there is no report.

In addition to Xiao Yao being really the director, the crew was also quite surprised by Xiao Yao's directing level. Xiao Yao not only knows how to make movies, but also knows a lot and is very professional. Any department's mistakes, Xiao Yao can find out for you. Although Xiao Yao is definitely rare among directors in terms of temper, often with a smile on his face and rarely scolding, such a young but professional director still brings a lot of pressure to the crew.

After the filming of that short film, the crew of that crew was completely convinced of Xiao Yao. When the news spread that the short film had won an award at the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, the happiest and least surprised were the people from the crew.

However, compared to the star actors in front of the scene, the staff behind the scenes are much more low-key, and there are few opportunities to accept media reports and interviews. After the news of the short film winning the award spread, although the people in front of and behind the scenes of the short film have been interviewed by some media and praised Xiao Yao's ability to be a director, the star actors in front of the stage are all Xiao Yao's relatives and friends, and they are basically regarded by the outside world as "friendship blowing" and "family blowing", and those people behind the scenes don't know anyone at all and don't have much influence.

"Parkour Boy" was filmed in the United States, the behind-the-scenes staff are mainly Americans, there are basically no relevant interviews and reports of such people, and the Chinese actors in front of the screen are all close friends with Xiao Yao, and there is another older director in that movie, Xiao Yao's performance in directing is still not convincing. Later, when Xiao Yao was filming "Donkey Gets Water", many crew members also experienced a similar mental journey in their perception of Xiao Yao.

Now that "Donkey Gets Water" has been released, the reputation and box office are good, and many people are full of surprise and curiosity about Xiao Yao, the director. However, during the filming of this movie, there were no reporters visiting the class, there was no report, and there were no tidbits released after the movie came out, and many people also had some doubts about whether such a movie was really made by director Xiao Yao.

Young film and television companies only sign directors, screenwriters and producers, not actors and artists, and they also do not sign behind-the-scenes staff such as props, lighting, and photography, so many people in this crew have doubts about how much role Xiao Yao, the titular director, played in the movie "Donkey Gets Water".

Xiao Yao is not the director of this drama, and those crew members originally thought that they would not be able to see Xiao Yao's ability to be a director, but they didn't expect Xiao Yao to come to the set without a scene and discuss with them about the shooting of sets, lighting, and camera positions. Through this exchange with Xiao Yao, many crew members actually recognized Xiao Yao's ability to be a director in their hearts.

was originally an unintentional move in a state of boredom, but many people in this crew recognized their ability as a director in their hearts, which was also something Xiao Yao himself did not expect.

However, even if the crew recognized his ability to be a director, Xiao Yao did not plan to rob Chen Jun of the director. After the preparations before filming were ready, Xiao Yao withdrew from the shooting area and stood behind Chen Jun.

The scene and machine were ready, and the actors had arrived, so Chen Jun arranged for the assistant director to give a lecture to the actors, and then let the actors move.

From the perspective of actors' performances, it is better for the crew to shoot according to the order of the plot direction of the script when filming, so that the actors' experience during filming is the same as that of the characters in the play, which is more conducive to the actors' performances. However, in terms of cost savings, the crew will also try to shoot the same scenes together. Many times, these two are contradictory, so the crew generally considers the two comprehensively.

The arrangement of these two scenes this morning is the result of this comprehensive consideration. The two scenes this morning are the scenes of the heroine in the play visiting the store in midsummer. Judging from the script, these two scenes are not next to each other. In terms of time, there are several days between the two scenes, and in the scenes, there are other plots in the middle. However, the content of these two scenes is somewhat similar, and they are both relatively advanced scenes, and the editing should be in the first episode, so the crew arranged these two scenes to be filmed together.

Today's first scene is the first scene in the script, which is about the heroine's daily visit to the store.

In addition to Xiao Yao, Yin Xi was the first actor to get this script, and the actor who has been preparing for this play for the longest time. Since the heroine in the play is an employee of the headquarters of a chain coffee brand, Yin Xi even experienced life for this play, toured the store with the employees of the real coffee brand headquarters, and learned the performance of those people when they visited the store.

The first scene of the store tour is the heroine's appearance, so as to explain the heroine's career and work routine, there is no fierce conflict in the middle, so it is relatively not difficult.

Yin Xi has experienced life and learned from real store patrol staff, and there is no problem with language, attitude, and action. This scene is a dialogue between the heroine and the shopkeeper and the clerk, and some of the lines are still modified by Yin Xi after experiencing the life of the character according to the real situation of the store patrol and the screenwriter team, she is already very familiar with it, and she memorized it again while she was putting on makeup, so there was no such thing as forgetting words.

After finishing the scene very smoothly, he entered the official filming next, and Yin Xi's performance was also good.

This scene is a long shot of more than a minute, and a total of three shots passed. The first two times, one was when the photographer made a mistake when moving the lens, and the lens shook violently for a short time, and was directly shouted out by the boss of the photography team. Another time, a group actor who played the clerk had a problem with his position, accidentally walked outside the camera, and was called "card" by Chen Jun. The two failed shots had nothing to do with Yin Xi, and Xiao Yao, who was present, had no chance to speak.

After filming the first scene, Yin Xi went to change clothes and rested, while the props, lighting, and photography departments began to get busy.

These two scenes are both scenes of the heroine visiting the store, but in the play, the heroine is not visiting the same store in these two scenes. The crew was all filmed on live location, and rented a real coffee shop for the filming of the store tour, but did not rent two different coffee shops for these two scenes, and then transferred to another after filming, but filmed both scenes in this coffee shop.

The two scenes took place in different stores, so the crew had to change the furnishings of the store after filming the first scene and turn it into another store.

It takes time to change the layout of the store. In terms of time, after Yin Xi changed his clothes, he could also rest for a while. However, after Yin Xi changed his clothes and touched up his makeup, he didn't stay in the makeup car to rest or memorize his lines, and waited for the crew to call him after they were ready, but took the script into the coffee shop where he was filming.

Compared to the first scene, the second scene is slightly more difficult. Yin Xi wanted to find Xiao Yao to tell him about the play in advance, but after entering the coffee shop, Yin Xi did not see Xiao Yao beside director Chen Jun.

"Director Chen, what about Xiao Yao?" Yin Xi asked Xiao Yao strangely, "You won't run away, will you?"

"No," Chen Jun smiled and pointed to the middle of the coffee shop, "There!

When Xiao Yao first came in the morning, the crew's preparations were almost done, so Xiao Yao just spoke, not moved. Now we have to change the overall layout of the store, and the tables, chairs, counters, etc. have to be changed, which is not only a lot of work, but also a lot of hard work.

Xiao Yao was an idler, and after seeing the hard work of the props team, he rolled up his sleeves and joined them and helped them move together.

Yin Xi looked in the direction of Chen Jun's finger, and sure enough, he found Xiao Yao, and immediately shouted to Xiao Yao: "Xiao Yao! Come here, why are you moving things? Why are you here?"
