Appearance:

As a director in the summer, I will tell you about this drama first.

The purpose is to make everyone clear about the plot, understand the characters deeply, and be familiar with the people they are cooperating with. This approach is a more formal approach, and American Hollywood film and television dramas generally go through this process in advance.

If the actor has an opinion on the lines, on the plot, he can bring it up on the spot.

The advantage of this is to solve the problem and contradiction in the bud, and don't come out when filming.

Seeing that he was so formal, discerning, and meticulous, Zheng Zeshi, who had some contempt for him, couldn't help but be a little surprised.

You must know that many crews in Hong Kong have not even had a script before they start filming, let alone go through this process. The screenwriter needs to fill in the lyrics on the spot, and the story can only be filmed on the spot.

Compared with those grass stage teams, the performance in the summer is really professional enough, which makes him impressed.

Zhong Chuhong is also the first time to see someone filming so formally, and she is also very surprised.

Seeing the summer standing in front of the whiteboard and talking, she immediately felt that this young man was very interesting.

And Wang Jixian looked at him with admiration, seeing that he was generous in front of everyone, without twisting, showing his talent to the fullest, and letting so many stars listen to him carefully, it was really handsome.

……

After explaining the play, Xia smiled slightly and asked, "Everyone, do you have any comments on this play?"

"Mr. Xiang, I don't think my role is too prominent! I only appeared eight or nine times, and the scenes added up to less than ten minutes are not worthy of my current status at all. Xia Wenxi spoke first.

"I think I should add a little drama for me, it's best to have an intimate scene with the male lead, relieve Luo Shang, and stop talking. Today's audience likes to watch this kind of plot the most. She said coquettishly, "Sister Hong, do you think that's the case?"

Zhong Chuhong was stunned, she didn't expect that she would burn the fire on herself, and she really didn't know how to answer for a while.

If you say no, even she herself has acted in a lot of intimate scenes; Xia Wenxi made another excuse to add drama. A movie lasts a total of one and a half hours, and if she has more scenes, then her own roles will be less.

"I don't know much about making movies. Director Xia is both a director and a screenwriter, I think it's better for you to ask him. Zhong Chuhong said in twos, and at the same time smiled apologetically at Xia. She really didn't know who to give this problem to solve but him.

"Little director, then let's talk about it, am I right?" Xia Wenxi gave Xia a wink to Summer. Jiaosheng asked with a smile.

Xia smiled slightly, "Our drama is a family-friendly romantic comedy, and it will be released during the Spring Festival for the whole family to enjoy together, so the plot that goes too far cannot be filmed." I'm sorry, Miss Xia. ”

"Well, forget it. Xia Wenxi heard that he made such a sense, so he had no choice but to nod and say.

Zhong Chuhong saw that he was so easy to dissolve. I couldn't help but nod approvingly to him.

……

In addition to Xia Wenxi's opinions, Zhong Chuhong, Zheng Zeshi, Cao Chali, Gao Fei, Wang Qixian and others. There are no problems.

"Let's talk freely, we will treat you in the evening, I hope everyone can enjoy your face. Xiang Huasheng saw that everyone had no opinion, so he said with a smile.

"Mr. Xiang, I still think my role is a little less......"

"Brother Charlie, where are you going to spend time at night......"

"Miss Zhong. I heard that Xinyicheng wants to dig you up, right?"

Everyone chatted casually.

Summer was about to confirm the start time with Xiang Huasheng, when he saw Wang's mother walking over with a smile.

"Auntie......" he greeted with some embarrassment, not knowing what she was looking for him.

"Mr. Xia, I'm really sorry last time, I misunderstood you. Just listen to Wang's mother. "You don't blame Auntie, do you?"

"No, how could it be, I can understand your feelings, Auntie. Summer was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and smiled.

"That's good. Mother Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Come to play at home when you have time, Xiaoxian himself is boring." ”

When she heard her say this, her heart suddenly burst into joy, "Yes, aunt, definitely, definitely." ”

"Well, then you can get busy. Wang's mother smiled again, then turned and left.

"YES!" Xia clenched her fist excitedly, solving the trouble of Wang's mother, and there was no obstacle between herself and Wang Jixian, "I finally have a chance to kiss Fangze." He couldn't help but say obscenely.

"Ah Tian, what are you thinking, smiling so happily?" Xiang Huasheng walked over at this time and smiled.

"Ah, nothing. Summer waved his hand, "By the way, Mr. Xiang, now that the crew is ready, I don't know when we will officially start filming?"

"I can't say for sure, I plan to go to Chegong Temple tomorrow and ask Chegong for a sign. He waved his hand at Huasheng.

Summer was a little stunned at first, but then he nodded understandingly.

Filming in the mainland generally doesn't do this, and it is as fast as possible.

But here in Hong Kong, whether it is tradition or superstition, in short, people in the film and television industry believe in these things.

Not only should the auspicious day be chosen for start-up, but also the roast pig should be offered when the camera is turned on, all the staff will burn incense, and even the name of the movie must be modified by the master.

Originally, the mainland did not engage in this system, and regarded it as feudal superstition. However, as more and more Hong Kong practitioners enter the mainland to film, this trend has gradually spread, and it is now a common practice to start worshipping God.

"Mr. Xiang, I suggest that it is better to do it as soon as possible. Summer reminded, "It's already mid-November, and it's only two months before the Chinese New Year, so time is very tight." ”

"I see. Xiang Huasheng nodded.

……

The next day, Xia received a call from Xiang Huasheng, saying that he had already been to Chegong Temple, asking Chegong to appear and give him guidance, and finally set the start time for November 20th, that is, five days later.

In addition to continuing to take care of the magazine, he also inspected the venue, costumes, props, etc. with Xiang Huasheng and Le Xiaofeng to ensure perfection.

November 20th, 9 o'clock in the morning. Shaw Studios.

The auspicious time has arrived, and Xiang Huasheng led the crew to worship God, praying for a smooth start and a big box office hit.

Roast pig, roast goose, fruits, and pastries are put on the table, and the camera is also covered with a red cloth.

In the process of worshipping God, everyone is meticulous.

Even Zhong Zhentao is serious. In all seriousness. After all, there are gods three feet above their heads, and no one dares to offend the gods.

After the worship ceremony, Xia and Xiang Huasheng were about to uncover the red cloth on the camera, but when they saw Le Xiaofeng's hands and eyes, they tore off the red cloth in one fell swoop.

The reason why the camera is covered with red cloth is mainly to ward off evil spirits. Because current films are shot on film, if the film is accidentally scratched by a part of the camera, it will cause immeasurable damage to the crew. So in order to pray for peace, before the official start-up. The camera has to be covered with a red hijab like a bride.

And this red hijab is usually uncovered by the director or producer. But now, it was taken by Le Xiaofeng, the producer.

Xiang Huasheng didn't understand the joints, but he didn't say anything, but in the summer, his face sank. Le Xiaofeng's move was clearly a deliberate provocation, and he had no face for himself in front of the whole crew, which was really hateful!

"What do you mean, Producer Le?" he asked, grimacing.

"It's not interesting. Le Xiaofeng looked at Xia Dao. He was deliberately provoking Summer. Strive to be the biggest talker of the crew.

Because the powers of producers and directors overlap in many places, and power is often closely linked to interests. For example, the simplest lunch box. Which one to order or which one not to order, there is a lot of greasy.

A capable producer or director, just relying on a box lunch, a crew can earn tens of thousands of yuan. Not to mention props, sets, costumes, venues, etc., there is more oil and water involved.

Of course, there is also the "unspoken rule" that has to be mentioned, who has more power. Whoever qualifies for the unspoken rules. Otherwise, there is no chance of even getting addicted.

Le Xiaofeng knew that Xiang Huasheng didn't know anything about making movies, and this filming depended on him and Xia. As long as the summer is suppressed, the entire crew will be up to him.

When the time comes, just do it. can earn hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. Wealth is moving, so he deliberately competes with Summer.

The reason why Le Xiaofeng dared to compete with Xia was because he had enough strength. Now there are more than 30 people in this crew, and he is all under his command. In other words, he can easily set aside the summer, so that he can't do it, and he can't stop it.

"Hmph, you are also an old man, who should uncover this red hijab, don't you know yourself?" Seeing that Xia still pretended to be nothing, without the slightest remorse, he suddenly asked with a pale face.

"I'm also a producer, why can't I reveal it? Ask the brothers, are you willing to let me expose it, or are you willing to let you reveal it?" Le Xiaofeng said with a stiff neck.

"Of course it's Brother Feng who revealed it, you hairy kid go away. One of them coaxed.

"Bastard, what are you talking about?" Chen Yixin saw him insulting Xia and rushed forward.

"Alas, everyone, don't argue, give me face. Xiang Huasheng saw that the conflict was about to break out, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Ah Tian, anyway, the hijab has been revealed, and now the argument is meaningless, I think it's better to hurry up and film." ”

"This ......" Xia just wanted to argue, but after thinking about it again, he waved his hand, "Okay, I'll give Mr. Xiang a face." But if anyone makes another mess, I'm not welcome. He stomped his foot.

"Cut!" Le Xiaofeng sneered and raised his head proudly.

"Brother Tian, are you okay?" Wang Qixian saw that something was wrong, and walked over and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just a clown jumping off the beam, I'll clean him up sooner or later. Summer waved his hand. (To be continued.) )
