Chapter 386: Madness
……
The atmosphere in the hotel meeting room is a bit calm.
Director Qin Lei, two assistant directors, production director, producer and others are all there, but none of the actors came, and Cao Yifang sat here as a screenwriter.
The core creative team of the crew generally has to hold meetings often, three meetings a day in serious cases, and they meet once in the morning, noon and evening, some directors let everyone hold their jobs and hold a meeting, chatting while eating, this kind of meeting generally has nothing else, that is, to adjust the shooting task, mainly to torture the screenwriter, after torturing the screenwriter, the screenwriter changes the script, the production director adjusts the shooting plan, and then continues to torture other staff and actors.
Qin Lei stuttered as soon as he was nervous, so he asked the production director to speak for him.
“…… Considering the above reality of our crew, I just talked about these parts of the plot, and I hope you can make appropriate adjustments. ”
Cao Fang kept a straight face and said nothing, and reasoned to tell him that what the production director just said was reasonable and not too much.
In fact, the plot that the director asked him to adjust today will not seriously damage the main plot, it is nothing more than to reduce some scenes that are too expensive, such as bombing scenes, and the number of people fighting between the enemy and us, and some scenes also need to be adjusted, some because they can't be rented, and some because the scene construction exceeds the budget.
He wanted to roar, can't you do all these chicken and dog adjustments yourself?!
But at the same time, he remembered that before the official start of filming of this drama, Miao Yingsong actually confirmed with him once, asking him if he needed to find a few assistant screenwriters to help him, and at that time he thought that the script was already very complete, and there was no need to find additional people to make revisions.
So to put it back, it's still a sin that I did.
Cao Fangfang took a deep breath, got up from the chair, pressed his hands on the table, and his face was ugly.
Including the director, everyone was quite nervous.
"Okay, I see, what else do you want?"
Director Qin Lei hurriedly said: "That's it, that's it, that's all for the time being." ”
The assistant director looked at the director who was as nervous as a rabbit and felt deeply sad.
A director with no status and no resources, even a young leading actor can scare him into a grandson.
Cao Fang packed up the materials and walked out without looking back.
He still only slept for four hours that night, took the screenwriting task last night, and got up early the next morning to memorize the words and find the state of the performance, but when the filming really started, he was still in a very bad state.
Of course, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and most of the actors didn't see that he had a problem, and the director Qin Lei also let him pass easily.
……
Cui Guanhai was waiting for the interval of the play, walked to Qin Lei's side, she glanced at Cao Fangfang, who was sleeping on a recliner not far away, and asked softly, "How is he?"
Qin Lei also looked at it, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm tired, I guess I can't wait a few days, and I have to ask the deputy screenwriter to come." ”
"Okay, I've already found someone. Cui Guanhai nodded: "When the time comes, I'll let him come over directly, if the plot changes a lot, will Cao Fang lose his temper?"
Qin Lei smiled: "What about losing your temper? He, it's too much to take for granted, I just won't help you, normal filming continues, the parts that need to be changed are enough for him to drink a pot, where is it so easy for the screenwriter, this time a deputy screenwriter is not invited, if you really want to let him come by himself, can Cao Yifang stand it? I don't have the effort to memorize words every day, it is estimated that I can sleep for five hours at night, it is okay for two days a day, and my body will definitely collapse for ten days and a half months. ”
"That's it, it's troublesome to Director Qin. Cui Guanhai said politely.
Qin Lei ate people's soft mouths, and waved his big hand: "You're polite!, I didn't help you anything, don't act as if I'm deliberately cheating people." ”
Although he said this, Cui Guanhai still felt a little guilty in his heart, nodded and smiled, and turned to leave.
As the female star with the biggest coffee position in the crew, Cui Guanhai's salary is not high, and it can be regarded as a 20% discount.
Originally, she should have gone to make a movie with Zou Runqiu now, but Director Zou had a problem with the review, and planned to delay the filming for a few months, and then go to Thailand to shoot, then it would be too late to take on the new drama for a while.
But after all, the coffee position is there, Cui Guanhai has her own set of high standards for taking on the play, in the past, she only played the leading role, and she was often the only heroine, so she often brought the screenwriter into the group privately to do in-depth digging for her role.
It's not to increase the role and earn more pay, the salary is often negotiated in advance, she purely wants to make the role shine more and make the audience memorable.
She is actually one of the heroines of this drama, but her roles are less than the other two actresses, which makes it difficult for him to accept.
Her Cui Guanhai's play is either a big director in charge, or the role is enough, or the salary is in place, the pretenders basically do not meet these conditions, and Cui Guanhai's competitiveness can only be satisfied from the brightness of the role.
If it weren't for Cao Fang's temper, she would have just found a screenwriter to join the group, and the other actors wouldn't have much opinion, after all, the coffee position in this circle decides everything, and there is nothing reasonable or unreasonable.
But now...... The screenwriter is actually Cao Fangfang, if she still does that, the two of them will not look good on face after all, so Cui Guanhai stuffed a red envelope to director Qin Lei, hoping to save the country and find a way to add a screenwriter.
Qin Lei said at that time that there was no problem.
Because with his vast experience in torturing screenwriters, he is sure that it must be ...... Cao Fang definitely can't do both.
Especially if he deliberately wanted to stumble.
……
That night, everyone in the crew finally heard Cao Yifang, one of the leading actors, and officially lost his temper with Director Qin Lei.
"Change it again, change it every day? Then what's the point of me writing the script in advance? Ah? I just write an outline first, and then write it while shooting!"
Cao Fang's lack of sleep day by day finally ignited the anger that was not aroused, and he directly threw a pile of scripts on the ground and fell in front of Qin Lei: "Where are the preparations that have been made long before the start of filming? Who is in charge of the budget?!Who is the person in charge of the location survey?!Who the is looking for the actors?!
