Chapter 130: Filming in progress
Chapter 130 filming is underway
Summer in the north is very different from summer in the south. For example, the climate in the north is dry, and the air in the south is humid, for a person who is used to staying in the south, when he first comes to live in the north, he will feel that the sun in the north is too hot. In fact, the actual temperature is not as high as in the south. And a person who has been living in the north will feel that his body is damp every day if he first comes to live in the south, and he will sweat a little and not dry for a long time, or finally feel dry, but it is stuck to the skin, which makes people more uncomfortable.
Therefore, whether the north or the south is better can only be experienced personally. Xiao Wu actually likes this kind of climate in the north. After all, the climate of Pengcheng is similar to that of here, except for a little wind and sand. It's just that Xiao Wu doesn't like the winter in the north, because the winter in the north is too cold, and people's skin can't stand it. In his heart, he thought that it was best to spend the summer in the north and the south in the winter, so that he could enjoy life.
Now, with a sun hat on, he couldn't help but start sweating as he watched the actors in thick costumes under the sun, even though he sat under the parasol and felt a little cool from the wind blowing from the north.
On the first day of shooting, Xiao Wu just sat quietly and did not take the initiative to express any opinions. He had to familiarize himself with the shooting scene first. Familiarize yourself with Director Zhou's shooting ideas.
Due to the weather in the north, the sun can be particularly strong at noon, so the shooting starts at 6 o'clock in the morning, then ends at 11 o'clock, continues around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and ends at about 7 o'clock in the evening.
Now, at more than ten o'clock, Xiao Wu looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, and there was not even a trace of clouds. Under the parasol, only Xiao Wu sat there alone. Director Zhou was talking to the actors in front, and several assistant directors were also busy dealing with some details. The security guards of the film and television city are maintaining order at the scene. The periphery of the demarcated shooting circle was full of people, and whenever Xiao Wu raised his head, he would see many spectators, tourists, and reporters pointing the camera in their hands at him.
For a whole morning, Xiao Wu's sunglasses were not taken off. I didn't even dare to take it off when I wiped my sweat. This made Xiao Wu deeply tired. More tired than those actors.
Because it was the first day, I wasn't ready to shoot more, and I was ready to finish after shooting two shots, but maybe everyone hadn't entered the state yet, so there were always mistakes, even a few celebrities were no exception, which made Director Zhou very annoyed. I had to tell every actor in person.
Xiao Wu also had the storyboard of this movie, but he didn't take it out, but kept it in his heart, and slowly revealed it when discussing the storyboard with Director Zhou, which already made Zhou Xingchen look at him like a non-human, if he came up with another storyboard script, Zhou Xingchen would probably pull him to slice.
Although Zhou Xingchen heard from Jia Yicheng that Xiao Wu's storyboard script was used for the filming of the "Old Boy" video, "Old Boy" is only a short film after all, and the scene plot is not as grand and complex as "Journey to the West". But if Xiao Wucan't make the storyboard script of "Journey to the West", he also made it. Zhou Xingchen didn't believe it. Without a rich director's experience, it is impossible to write such a complex script. With his current ability, he also killed thousands of brain cells to write the script of the first part, and some details are still ready to be adjusted during filming.
However, after listening to Xiao Wu's thoughts on the actors' expressions and movements during filming today, he found that it was really right to let Xiao Wulai come, because this script was written by Xiao Wu, and no one knew the characters of these characters in the script better than him. Perhaps, Xiao Wu should be given another title: assistant director.
Although the filming on the first day was a little unsmooth, when the work was finished in the evening, the cast and crew found that Director Zhou Da was not angry, but a little happy. This puzzled everyone, but no one stepped forward to ask the question without interest.
Xiao Wu walked behind Zhou Xingchen, thinking about whether to remind Director Zhou and let him shoot in three groups. Otherwise, I don't know when this drama will be filmed. You must know that in another world, "Journey to the West" was filmed in three groups, one group filmed literary dramas, one group filmed martial arts dramas, and one group filmed exterior scenes, just like that, it took more than 100 days to shoot, and it is said that they were not idle from morning to night, which is as easy as Xiao Wuthem.
Just thinking about it, Xiao Wu felt that Director Zhou in front of him suddenly stopped, and he was still walking forward by inertia, seeing that he was about to hit his back. You must know that he still wears sunglasses on his eyes, and if he hits them, he may break them or knock them off. Chen Dong, the martial artist next to him, was walking side by side with Xiao Wu, and just looked up and saw that Xiao Wu was about to bump into Director Zhou, he opened his mouth to remind Xiao Wu, but saw Xiao Wu's right foot pause, and the left foot he raised swiped to the left, and he reached Director Zhou's left with a dodge. At this time, Director Zhou also happened to turn around and look for Xiao Wu, but he didn't see Xiao Wu's person when he turned around. Then he looked at Chen Dong, who was following him to the right, but saw Chen Dong looking at him with a big mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Xingchen couldn't help but ask with some doubts.
Chen Dong didn't speak, he pointed to his side with a finger, Zhou Xingchen turned his head,
"Hey, weren't you walking behind me, when did you come to my side?"
"You said, you were walking and you were so hard that I almost hit you. ”
Xiao Wuchong rolled his eyes at him and said angrily. Chen Dong next to him finally spoke at this time.
"I've always heard that Xiao Wu has a good skill, and it's really worthy of his reputation after watching this today. This reaction would have been bumped into by ordinary people before it was struck. Admire!"
"Brother Chen, don't praise me here, if you can flash it over, it's nothing more than a matter of fast or slow reaction. ”
Xiao Wu was not complacent because of Chen Dong's praise, Chen Dong didn't say anything after listening to Xiao Wu's words, just smiled, as if acquiescing.
"What did I just want to talk to you? That's the case, Xiao Wu, I think you're a very easy screenwriter, do you want to take on another position?"
Zhou Xingchen finally remembered that he turned around to find Xiao Wu and had nothing to talk about. Told Xiao Wu what he thought.
"Part-time?
"I think the position of assistant director is a good fit for you. ”
"Assistant director, what is this position, what do you need me to do?"
Xiao Wu was a little surprised, why did Director Zhou think of letting him work part-time?
"Where's the assistant director...... is responsible for telling the actors, and you will tell the actors about the actions during the shooting. ”
"Shall I tell you?"
"Yes, you are the creator of this movie, and you should know best what the characters in the play should say, what kind of expressions and actions they should use when they speak, so this position is the most suitable for you. No one can change it. This has eased me a lot of work. It frees me up to think about other issues. How?"
"That's right. ”
After listening to Zhou Xingchen's words, Xiao Wu thought about it in his heart, in his opinion, this position is not difficult for him, there is another classic that has been filmed and screened several times in his heart, and he is completely competent for this job.
"Okay, no problem. In addition, Brother Zhou, I also have something to tell you. ”
agreed to Zhou Xingchen's proposal, Xiao Wu also remembered to talk to him about group shooting to see what he thought.
"Then get in the car first, and talk to the car later. ”
The bus stopped and waited, after the two got on the bus, sat together, Xiao Wu told Director Zhou about his idea of group shooting, and it happened that Zhou Xingchen was also thinking about how to improve the efficiency of shooting, after listening to Xiao Wu's proposal, Director Zhou felt that this plan was feasible. It's just a matter of assigning people well. Of course, this is arranged by Zhou Xingchen himself, after all, Xiao Wu hasn't even figured out how many people are in the crew now.
After returning to the hotel for dinner, Xiao Wu couldn't go anywhere, there were many media reporters living in this hotel, and they didn't come specifically for the crew of "Journey to the West". Because there are often crews in this film and television city who want to come to shoot movies, reporters generally pay attention to a few more days, and at the same time pay attention to the movements of some other stars. Now is the time when the topic of Xiao Wu is booming, and the reporters have even more reason to stay here for a few more days, in case Xiao Wu wants to find someone to drink again, maybe they can take pictures of Xiao Wu's true face.
Although Wang Haifeng and a group of other celebrities called on Weibo not to disturb Xiao Wu too much, what do reporters do? If they don't bother as Wang Haifeng appealed, then what do reporters rely on to eat?
In fact, the entire entertainment industry is only a freak like Xiao Wu, not to mention that other celebrities are not allowed to take pictures of their true faces, they even spent money to invite reporters to shoot them holding hands with this ambiguous and hugging that intimately. It is also called being secretly photographed. Secretly photographing your sister, that expression is so contrived, who can't tell it!
For a star like Xiao Wu, if he was replaced by someone else, he would have been banned by the media a long time ago. Hiding and hiding every day makes the reporters love and hate. I can't play happily anymore!
However, no media dares to say the word ban, no way, if you don't have the word Xiao Wu in your newspaper now, no one will read it. The current Xiaowu is like in another world, when the Chinese football team scored the World Cup, which sports newspaper dares not to have the news of Chinese football?
Besides, if the media dares to say that Xiao Wu is banned, I'm afraid that the happiest person is Xiao Wu! This guy is probably the star who is least afraid of banning in history, not only is he not afraid, he should also look forward to it, what is a ban, banning is that all the media will no longer report the news about you. When you are in the entertainment industry, it will be as if you have disappeared. Do you think this is something that Xiao Wu is looking forward to?!
