Verse 11: On the road
The last meeting was a success, and now the crew is very satisfied, if you use the language of management to describe it, it is: this small business is on track and running well.
Although the scenery and props are not well-known and cheap, they do have their professionalism. They racked their brains and finally made the layout of the set meet Duane's requirements, and some of the methods used made Duane have to sigh that it is indeed 360 lines after reading it, and the line is the champion, for example, the execution chair that makes Duane look unpleasant, the props are just wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, and then spray paint, making a rusty effect, which immediately makes this chair have a terrifying meaning.
There are many other small details like this, which everywhere reflect the excellence of the wisdom of the people.
And Chen Xin, the photographer, is even more satisfying to Duane: he can always give Duane a satisfactory composition, which Duane can't do, he can only say - he knows what effect he wants, but he doesn't know how to achieve it, while a professional like Chen Xin knows.
This made Duane very pleasant.
The only unpleasantness is probably the actor's part.
There are three actors with the most roles in the film: Zhang Jiayi who plays the surgeon Jiang Wei, Zhu Yuchen who plays the private detective Han Sheng, and Zhang Yi who plays the policeman Meng He. Zhang Jiayi is okay, Du An, a layman, can't say anything specific, but he knows that his performance effect makes him quite satisfied, but Zhu Yuchen and Zhang Yi have a big problem.
They can express the love they need in the script, but Duane always feels that these two people are acting.
He himself was amused by the thought of himself: they were already acting. But he knew that this effect was not what he wanted, and then recalled the relevant books he had read, and learned about the relevant situation of the two, and finally found out what was wrong with these two people.
Their staging model is too strict.
Zhang Yi originally worked in the repertory troupe, but he just came out this year, and what about Zhu Yuchen? He originally went to school in Chinese opera, and as soon as he graduated, he was hidden in the snow, and then he fought a lawsuit for a year, and he has not yet taken over the play, and all his previous acting experience was in the drama rehearsed by the class itself.
They have only acted in dramas, and they are all making movies for the first time, and the root cause of this problem has finally been found, but how to solve it?
Duane racked his brains, tried crooked methods, and finally found a solution that was not the way: let them not act so seriously.
"I think this crew is going to finish. ”
This is what Zhang Yi said to Zhu Yuchen after hearing the request, and this is the third time he has said this kind of thing in recent times.
And Zhu Yuchen also looked dead.
The education they have received has always been to tell them to be full of emotions when performing, where have they ever encountered such a director who asks for "be casual, so-so and deal with it, and don't take it too seriously"?
But the director is the biggest, what else can he do? Especially after the previous series of measures that seemed trivial to them were implemented, Duan's prestige in the crew was re-established, it is estimated that Shu Yu will not be able to seize power with Duane even if he comes back now, how can they do it against Duane at this moment?
So they performed "so-so and so" at Duane's request, and these scenes that made them feel very bad received a "pass, next", so they simply gave up on themselves, and let go of the "so-so", which turned out to be even happier for Duane.
That's what he wants. Although I am not very satisfied, I am relatively satisfied.
Shu Yu was also discharged from the hospital.
When she was in the hospital, someone told her about the recent crew, so when she came back, she was too surprised to see that Du Ane didn't leave, but when Du Ane returned the bank card to her, she asked, "Don't regret it?" Du Ane didn't say anything, just quickly stuffed the bank card into her hand.
Maybe he will regret it immediately, but at least he doesn't regret it for this moment.
After observing the crew for a day, Shu Yu also accepted the fact that Du ane was back directing, and willingly stepped aside to become her producer, which disappointed some people who were looking forward to seeing "Director-Producer Drama Season 2".
In addition to the return of Shu Yu, there is also Song Zhen.
She also started working on the crew, commuting to and from work with Duane every day.
is different from Du An's popularity of being cursed behind his back, Song Zhen, a little girl, can be said to be loved by everyone, and the people in the group take good care of her, especially Zhang Yi, who doesn't deal with Du An, often buys drinks and snacks, like taking care of his sister.
At the same time, Song Zhen's work ability also opened Duan's eyes.
is different from never having a good face in front of Duan, when facing the crew members, Song Zhen is always full of smiles, patient and meticulous in her work, very resilient, the tedious work of life production is easy for her to do, there is no mistake, and everyone is taught to be happy, which makes Du An's hanging heart relax. The only thing that has some shortcomings is that Song Zhen still doesn't have a good face when facing him.
That afternoon, as soon as Zhang Yi got off the play, he went outside to buy two bottles of iced Sprite and came back, and went to the big tree in the courtyard, where Song Zhen was sitting.
"Thirsty, right? Come, drink some water. ”
Song Zhen took the drink and smiled at Zhang Yi, "Thank you." ”
At first, she drank the mineral water provided by the crew like the rest of the crew, and refused the water handed by Zhang Yi, but after three times and twice, seeing that this person was so enthusiastic, she was embarrassed to refuse again, so she accepted it.
Zhang Yi said "hi", "It's all said, you don't have to be so polite with me." He pulled a small stool, sat on it, and poured half a bottle, only then did he breathe a sigh and burp, "This ghost weather, it's still cool to drink ice!"
The light shook for a while, and another person came in, and at first glance, it was Zhang Jiayi.
Zhang Jiayi glanced at the two of them and smiled, "It's a comfortable life, but why are there only two bottles?"
Zhang Yi's eyes rolled, he smiled, and said, "Didn't you expect Brother Zhang to come over so soon, if you want to drink it, I'll buy it immediately." "As he spoke, he was about to get up.
Zhang Jiayi hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, "What about laughing," he said and pulled out a bottle of mineral water from the crew's mineral water tank, "Old, no younger than you, old men like us, we can't afford to drink ice, it's better to drink this mineral water." ”
They all know that Zhang Yi really feels sorry for this little girl who came out to work at a young age, and took care of Song Zhen as a younger sister, where would she compete with a little girl for favor?
After taking two sips, Zhang Jiayi wiped the sweat on his head and looked at Song Zhen happily, "Girl, I will go back to the school in a few days, is my heart full of reluctance now?"
Song Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, "Uncle Zhang, you are too strict, right? Where is the school in dire straits, I see, your crew is really 'in dire straits', and no one is allowed to shout hot on such a hot day." What she said was that actors can't jump during filming.
As soon as they heard this "Uncle Zhang", Zhang Jiayi and Zhang Yi were happy.
"You are so unhappy when I call you a girl, you have to call me uncle, don't look at me old, I am young!"
Zhang Jiayi took another sip of water and said, "Girl, we're okay, you haven't seen a summer or winter scene, that's really a crime." Dog days, wrap you in fur, and make a cold appearance, huh! Think about that scene...... As soon as the play was over, he had to quickly strip off his clothes and put ice cubes on his body. ”
Song Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, "Is it so exaggerated? Still bare-chested? That's in the crew, there are so many people around." ”
"Who cares how many people you have? And it's not you, everyone is like this, so it's not surprising. ”
The few people chatted for a while, and the topic came to Duane.
“…… Zhen Zhen, you are neighbors with Director Du, you must be familiar with him, tell us, Director Du is really the first time to direct?
This was asked by Zhang Yi.
Although he didn't deal with Du An, he felt that this director was bullshit at a professional level, but Zhang Yi also had to admit that this guy still has a hand in management.
"This guy has a bit of a managerial talent...... Although our crew is not big, there are dozens of people, and he manages it well, I really don't believe it if he hasn't exercised before. Zhen Zhen, tell the truth, don't help him hide it. ”
"It's the first time. ”
When it came to the topic of Du An, Song Zhen's smile faded, and he sneered in his heart: Management? He originally studied management, if management is not good, then it will not be in vain.
Of course, this could not be said, and when it was agreed that she should come to work, Duane confessed his situation to her, and asked her to promise to help him keep the secret before she could come to work.
This also made Song Zhen feel more and more hypocritical and disgusting: she thought that he really had some good chance to become a director, but she didn't expect that this director's job was deceived by him! It was the first time she had seen this kind of guy who had deceived people and was at ease.
When Zhang Yi heard this affirmative answer, he smacked his lips, not knowing what to say, so he simply changed his words, "Zhen Zhen, have you ever thought about doing our business in the future? You are so beautiful, it's a pity not to do this." ”
Song Zhen smiled again.
Of course, she knew that she was good-looking, and the fact that she had been at the same table several times to help others deliver love letters to herself had already shown it, but she was still glad to hear someone compliment her in person.
"I never thought I would be a doctor in the future. ”
Zhang Jiayi said on the side at this time: "It's good to be a doctor, don't listen to this kid." As he spoke, he glared at Zhang Yi, "You kid doesn't know what is the use of being beautiful in our business? Are there few beautiful people in this industry? How many can come out? Don't mistake people." ”
While they were chatting, there was a sudden commotion on the side of Field 3, and the sound was getting louder and louder.
Song Zhen stood up, looked over there suspiciously, and walked over there.
The life production job arranged for her by Duane also includes the responsibility of on-site production, and if something happens on the set, she must be on the scene to deal with it as soon as possible.
Zhang Jiayi and Zhang Yi didn't care about the cold, so they hurriedly followed.
Field 3 is the home of surgeon Jiang Wei, and at the moment it is busy, and several people are holding their mobile phones to call: "Xiao Zheng, my old Wang, do you have a play now? What else can I do to find you, save the scene...... Du An, a ...... who graduated from Chinese opera this year Zhang Jiayi, Zhu Yuchen, hey, don't ask, you don't know each other...... Don't, you can at least listen to the price...... Two thousand ...... Hey, hey, Xiao Zheng ?......" "Brother Li, save the scene! ”“…… Two thousand really can't be more, we're just a small crew, can you be considerate......"
"Brother Zhao, what's wrong?"
Song Zhen grabbed the artist who was idle next to him and asked.
The artist told the story: It's time to shoot the scene of cleaner Wang Xingfa today, but when the inspection was in place, I found that the actor didn't know when he was gone, and he couldn't get through to the phone, so he had no choice but to mobilize the staff to find someone to save the scene.
Wang Xingfa's role is not much, but it is not too much, and he can be ranked fifth in this play, so naturally he can't just find someone to play it, and the people he may be looking for either think that the crew lineup is too stumbling and uninterested, or that the salary is too low, and the weight of the play does not match, and they want to add money, so they haven't talked about it yet, and they are still looking for it.
"I really can't do it, let's add some money. ”
Duane said to Shu Yu.
Shu Yu shook his head, "The budget is limited, I can't add it, if I look for it for a while, I can find it at the beginning, and I will definitely find it now." ”
If she can add her, she is naturally willing to add, but some of Duane's actions before she came back, such as chartered car transfers, made the crew's originally budget-conscious funds tighten, and it was really not allowed to increase expenses casually.
At this moment, a voice next to him interjected.
"It's really not good, Du Dao, you're on. ”
Du An and Shu Yu were stunned for a moment, then turned their heads to look.
It was Zhang Jiayi who spoke.
