On the plane, Shen Bai searched for comments from the media and netizens on "Time Detective" through his laptop.

"The creativity and subject matter look pretty good, there are no TV series or movies in China, and this kind of film has been filmed. It is a relatively bold attempt. I don't know how to get the bottom shot, don't be anticlimactic, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small. ”

"Looking forward to Lu Yi and Jiang Xin's cooperation again, I like "Blind Appointment" very much the year before last, both of them have good acting skills. But the ratings are tepid, the response is very average, and I don't know what the situation is. I hope there will be a breakthrough this time, come on!"

"I like Sister Jiang Xin very much, Lu Yi is also good, his image in "In the Name of the People" should be more suitable for acting in this drama, right?"

……

The comments and trends on the Internet are mainly discussing how the heroes and heroines are. As for the TV series itself, it's a matter of incidental concern.

As the screenwriter of the film, Shen Bai also expected that there would be such a situation. After all, the profession of screenwriter is very easy to be ignored by the public. Even those TV series with the first and second ratings, few viewers know the name of the screenwriter.

The focus of attention is always the male and female leading actors, male and female supporting actors. Only when the plot development is very dissatisfied and obviously deliberate, will the audience think of the screenwriter. Then sprayed him with poison on purpose, his brain was caught by the door, and the scripts written by elementary school students were better than him......

That's the hardship of being a screenwriter. So Shen Bai's next drama, even if he only chooses a few scenes, will be made into a micro-film and a short video first. I don't plan to sell the full script and shoot it for others. is willing to invest in being a director with his own money, and is groping for step by step shooting.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of July 11, the start-up ceremony of the crew of "Time Detective" was officially held at the Shanghai Film and Television Base. Directors, actors, all in one place. On a long table covered with red cloth is a large incense burner and various fruit offerings.

The actors need to religiously offer incense in front of the incense burner, and wish that the TV series can be a big hit and have a good start.

Before the incense, the host in charge of this event naturally wants to introduce the actors and directors of the crew of "Time Detective", plus the main person in charge of Huace Film and Television.

Director Li Lu, actor Lu Yi, and heroine Jiang Xin came to the stage one after another to meet with the reporters in the audience. For the three of them, both the host and the reporters in the audience are relatively familiar, and it is easier to introduce.

However, when it was Shen Bai's turn to take the stage. Since he is a rookie screenwriter, he has not had any works that he can do before. So even if the host cobbled together and said a lot of praise, great potential and so on.

The reporters in the audience, including the fan representatives who came from afar, were not too interested. At most, I know, oh, it turns out that the screenwriter looks like this. After that, he ignored his existence and focused his attention on other places.

Shen Bai, who was standing on the stage, was quite embarrassed to be honest. The smile on his face wasn't really smiling. It's a smirk that is barely squeezed out. Among so many people on stage, he is the most inconspicuous and has no sense of existence.

Including the host after introducing him, as if he had completed the process, he didn't pay attention to him anymore. Focus the energy of the dialogue on the male and female protagonists, directors, and producers.

……

The boot-up ceremony, which lasted only about 2 hours, was very long for Shen Bai. The flash flickered from time to time, making his eyes feel dry. The smile on his face slowly stiffened unconsciously. I just hope that everything will end soon.

This is the sadness of the little people, who are not famous, and they are foils wherever they go.

But it can't be helped, the entertainment industry is such a realistic and cruel place. The people standing on the stage are actually not wrong. The reporters and fans standing in the audience can't leave the leading actor alone and revolve around him.

If you want to blame yourself, you don't have the strength at present! It's normal to be ignored by others.

The only thing to be thankful for is that at least the people around me are not like those brain-dead villains in the novel, who run to mock themselves at every turn and speak ill of each other.

After returning to the hotel, Shen Bai opened his Around the World Big Star game. Then click on the character panel and assign the 3 free attributes accumulated by the task directly according to the plan.

[May I ask if it is assigned, acting talent +2, director talent +1?]

"Yes!" Shen Bai directly pressed the confirmation button. The reason why he is improving his talent now is because he wants to learn in advance. With the blessing of talent, he can also have more understanding when watching other people act. Or a different opinion.

In an instant, a faint blue light flashed across the screen. Then it shot straight at his eyebrows.

When the ghost light disappeared, Shen Bai felt that there seemed to be some kind of wonderful feeling in his mind. And it was this feeling that made him have a completely different view of acting and acting than before.

For example, in his understanding of crying scenes, Shen Bai originally thought that as long as he cried, he would be fine. Crying loudly or silently. But now, he has discovered that the crying scene is also about a process change. From holding back the sadness, to triggering tears and moistening eyes, to finally breaking the embankment, heartbreaking. The subtle change of mentality, the character's personality understanding, is very crucial.

It's not brainless to follow the plot and follow the director's requirements, and cry when you come up. If you can't cry, you order eye drops and pretend to cry. That kind of acting is really terrible. It's okay to deceive the audience more than ten years ago. As for winning the award, it depends on how blind the judges are and how much insider trading there is.

In addition to his acting talent +2, Shen Bai's directing talent also allowed him to secretly observe and learn some of the shooting techniques and shooting perspectives of director Li Lu in the next shooting. There is a way in this, if there is no talent blessing, then Shen Bai will be like a layman, only seeing a surface. I don't know what the purpose of this shooting is.

From the start of the filming of the TV series to the completion of the whole drama, there is no rest day in between. And there is no such thing as an 8-hour workday.

The 32-episode "Time Detective" was filmed for two and a half months. Shen Bai also followed the crew and director to catch up with the scene everywhere. During the period, in addition to quietly learning, improve yourself. also because of the line problem, there have been a lot of temporary revisions.

Including the last two episodes, whether the heroine should sacrifice heroically, or how to sacrifice to be able to impress the audience, the director, the male and female protagonists have also seriously discussed with him.

It's just that the so-called serious discussion has some meanings, "I don't want you to think, I want me to feel, listen to me". Shen Bai is in the crew, to put it mildly, he is a tool man. Where the plot needs to be changed, where the lines need to be changed, they can only try to cater to it, and they can't interpret the plot according to their own opinions.
