Volume 2 The heart moves with the environment to settle down Chapter 101 There are many rules in the crew
After the start-up ceremony is completed, the next step is to speak and deal with the media.
Director Xu Ke began to speak on stage, several leading actors and producers stood behind him, Zhang Wei was a newcomer and was not qualified to go on stage, so he stood in the corner of the stage. Zhang Wei thought that there would be nothing to do with him here, but who knew that he caused a little trouble during the reporter's interview.
When, according to the usual interview practice, after the director and the two leading actors answered some questions from reporters, a reporter suddenly shouted in the audience: "Director Xu Ke, just now at the opening ceremony, I saw that Zhang Wei, who had just won the championship of "Huaxia New Singing", was also in the cast team, may I ask if Zhang Wei participated in the performance of "Qimen II", and what kind of role did he play in the play? Is he a talent singer who is professionally qualified to participate in film shooting? Why didn't he appear on stage for an interview?"
In the interview session of the opening ceremony, there are actually many unwritten habits, such as the first person to interview must be the director, and there are no topics that have nothing to do with the movie, and no matter how unpopular the film is made by the crew, the work must not be looked down on, etc. One of these is that there are certain rules for the order of interviews, the first is the director, if the director is not there or has finished answering the question, the next question can be answered by the producer or producer, then the question to the heroine, then the male lead, and then the second female and second male. If this reporter waited until everyone on the stage had answered the question before asking about it, there would be no problem, but when it was time to ask the female number two, the reporter asked Zhang Wei directly, which inevitably made the female number two a little unable to get off the stage, and it would make people feel that her status in the crew is not as good as Zhang Wei, and her reputation is not as good as Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei didn't understand these rules, but fortunately, Liu Yuanyuan knew this well, so she preemptively said: "This media friend, we will answer Mr. Zhang Wei's questions later, and now I ask the media friends to interview our other main actors first." ”
Liu Yuanyuan came forward to block this matter, and everyone followed a tacit understanding in the next interview, and the interview was completed smoothly, and in the end, director Xu Ke told the media that Zhang Wei did participate in the performance of "Qimen II", and played an important role in the play, the reason why Zhang Wei was chosen was because his temperament and appearance matched the role in the script, and he said magnificently that he has always cast according to the needs of the movie, and will not choose useless vases, I believe that Zhang Wei will definitely have an excellent performance in the movie.
Originally, this was a trivial matter, and Liu Yuanyuan's emergency performance was not bad, overpowering Zhang Wei's question and finally answering, and allowing the interview to continue according to the rules, which can be regarded as putting up the face of the female number two. Besides, this matter itself has nothing to do with Zhang Wei, which reporter broke the rules, and logically speaking, this matter will be over here. And afterwards, Liu Yuanyuan asked Zhang Wei to find the female No. 2 Zhou Jiayi to make a statement, and asked Zhang Wei to lower his posture and say sorry, I didn't expect such a situation to happen. didn't expect Zhou Jiayi to be very indifferent to Zhang Wei's statement, just glanced at Zhang Wei, sneered, and left directly, completely ignoring Zhang Wei's meaning, which made Zhang Wei feel embarrassed and aggrieved.
People lost face, and Zhang Wei also figured out from Liu Yuanyuan why he wanted Zhou Jiayi to show goodwill, so he knew that Zhou Jiayi was in a bad mood now, and he didn't care about her, so he didn't tell Liu Yuanyuan about it.
Afterwards, Zhang Wei specifically found Liu Yuanyuan to ask some unwritten "rules" in the crew, and he really learned a lot from this inquiry. For example, in the crew, you can't just ask about people's salaries, because everyone comes through different channels, and the salary and treatment are definitely different, and if you ask, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble, so this is a taboo. There are also things like, don't sit on a chair that no one sits on, that may be the position of other actors or crew bosses. It is rude not to ask other celebrities for contact information, autographs and group photos. If you can't mess with the crew's equipment and machines, you will be scolded by the crew's staff. I can't ask when I will start work, and I am impatient. Don't complain about being tired and arouse the disgust of others, especially the director. Do not litter the garbage you generate, and need to throw it in the designated trash can or location. In total, Liu Yuanyuan told Zhang Wei more than a dozen "rules" in the crew, so that Zhang Wei would avoid many detours.
After the start-up ceremony, some shots of "Qimen II" will be officially filmed in the afternoon. On the first day, in order to please a good fortune, he generally chooses some shots that are not difficult and easy to shoot, and there is no trouble in the process. When everyone was resting, Zhang Wei took out the script and continued to figure it out, and when he encountered something he didn't understand and what he didn't understand, he recorded it in his small notebook, planning to wait until the afternoon to finish work, and then go to Liu Yuanyuan for advice.
In the actor's rest area, Zhou Jiayi sat in front of his nanny car and watched Zhang Wei in the distance reading the script and making notes, and said to the assistant next to him with disdain: "That kid named Zhang Wei really regards this place as a school, does he plan to learn and sell it now?" I really don't know what Liu Yuanyuan likes about him, and he actually recommends a person who has no acting skills at all to come to the crew, except that he still looks like that, what is the merit. ”
Zhou Jiayi's assistant was a little girl, and she followed Zhou Jiayi's words and said: "Sister, you don't understand, maybe they are Liu Yuanyuan's little wolf dog, and they will please women." ”
"Hmph, no wonder he looks oily. Zhou Jiayi was very dissatisfied with Zhang Wei stealing her limelight in the morning, and the more she looked at Zhang Wei at this time, the more unpleasant she became.
"Sister, don't you know, someone in the crew saw Liu Yuanyuan staying late in that kid's room last night, and Director Xu went in in the middle, maybe people are playing 'two kings and one queen'. The little girl looked at her words to please Zhou Jiayi, and her words were a little bright.
When Zhou Jiayi heard this, her face changed, she looked around, and after finding that there was no one around, she glared at the little girl and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you want to kill me." ”
The little girl saw that her fart had slapped the horse's leg, and quickly shut up and said nothing.
Zhang Wei didn't know what Zhou Jiayi and the assistant said, and was concentrating on reading the book "Actors Create Roles", using the theory of the book to combine the actual performances of other actors he had just seen, and he had something in his heart, and he was making a record in the book.
"So attentive, let's drink some water, Shilan?" asked Liu Yuanyuan, who came to Zhang Wei with a glass of water.
Zhang Wei took the water and said, "Shilan has returned to Yanjing, it is said that there is an advertising endorsement to talk about, and she has to deal with it." ”
"Oh, you can, this is just stepping into the entertainment industry, and I will start to accept endorsements immediately, which is not a low starting point. Liu Yuanyuan joked.
Zhang Wei smiled slightly, unimpressed.
The two chatted for a while, Director Xu started work again, Zhang Wei and Liu Yuanyuan came to the filming area together, Zhang Wei stood on the periphery, watched them filming, and continued their learning.
The filming of the afternoon ended quickly, although it was some simple shots, but it was stopped a few times by Director Xu Ke in the middle, but everything was quite smooth, so the atmosphere of the crew was also very relaxed.
On location in Wudang Mountain, there is no Zhang Wei's role, he can leave the crew and come over to shoot when he has a role, but he plans to follow the whole setup process with a learning attitude to learn and improve his acting ability, so he didn't leave, anyway, he is also a newcomer now, and he doesn't have much work to deal with. Filming on location in Wudang Mountain for a total of a week, all the shots were filmed, and the shooting task was successfully completed as planned, and the whole crew will go to Hengdian tomorrow, and will shoot for 40 days in the "Qingming Shanghe Park", and then go to the next location, in the filming plan of "Qingming Shanghe Park", Zhang Wei is going to appear for the first time, which makes Zhang Wei both nervous and excited the night before leaving.
The next day, the important personnel and actors of the crew all took the plane to Hengden, where an assistant director and a crew were already set up in Hengden, and the staff and equipment on the Wudang Mountain side would be sent to Hengden by high-speed train and trucks specially pulling equipment.
After checking into a hotel, Director Xu announced that he would have a day off today, waiting for the staff and equipment to come. As soon as Liu Yuanyuan arrived at Hengdian, she was immediately pulled away by another crew, and the crew was waiting for her to start work, this extra second is a second of money, of course, she was not allowed to rest, so she was even pulled into the crew with all her luggage.
When he came to Hengdian, Zhang Wei also remembered that there was another actor in his studio, who was the wonderful Fang Pengxing, and he didn't know how he was doing now, so he asked Li Mo next to him about it.
As Zhang Wei's assistant, Li Mo must of course have a comprehensive understanding of the people and things in the studio, so he replied: "Fang Pengxing went to 'Zhuozhou Film and Television City' with the crew of "Food for the Sky" to serve as one of the apprentices of a chef. ”
"What is "Food for the Sky" about?, movie or TV series?" Zhang Wei asked curiously.
Li Mo replied: ""Food for the Sky" is a 16-episode TV series, which is an online self-made drama mainly invested by "Emperor Penguin Pictures", which tells the story of a court chef in the last years of the Qing Dynasty because he was framed to death, his son got a family recipe, worked hard to learn to cook, and on the basis of his family recipe, traveled all over the land of China, innovated, returned to the court and was elected as the imperial chef, avenged his father, and embarked on the peak of life. Sister Shilan analyzed that this drama wants to take advantage of the east wind of "A Bite of China", and the prospects should be good, because Hanting is one of the investors, so Sister Shilan asked Sister Yuan for a place, and let Fang Pengxing pass. ”
After listening to Li Mo's explanation, Zhang Wei remembered that Fang Pengxing had shown his madness about acting that night, and he must be very satisfied now, so he also smiled, opened the book "Self-cultivation of Actors", and began his own study.
