In the early morning of October 11, 2010, on the TZ shooting set of the second season of "Crime in the Heart", in addition to Li Xiuping, who arrived early to check the mechanical equipment, there was another person who came early, and he was Ma Jingfei.

Atletico Madrid wore a custom close-fitting suit and held a bright red rose, looking quite chic. On the long table beside him were three large foam boxes, which contained the breakfast of today's employees of the "Guilty Heart" crew, one of which contained steamed buns, one fried noodles, and one soy milk.

These breakfasts were all bought by Ma Jingfei, and after he knew about Li Xiuping's bet with Jiang Shuying, he thought of such a way to curry favor with Jiang Shuying. Ma Jingfei thought he was very caring, he was very satisfied with his performance, he wanted to be recognized, there was no one else around at this time, he had to talk to Li Xiuping, "Director Li, seventy breakfasts, enough." ”

"It should be enough. ”

"I really didn't expect there to be so many people in your crew, I thought it was only twenty or thirty?"

"This is just the configuration of normal film and television dramas, there should be more people in martial arts blockbusters or military films. ”

Li Xiuping is rich now, so naturally he will not be like Wan Wan and "Sin in the Heart" before The first season was the same as saving money, he recruited people according to the normal crew configuration, assigned assistants to the cameraman, an assistant to the lighting engineer, a set worker to the set designer, and a hairstylist, makeup artist, and costume designer to the stylist, so that there were one hundred and eight people in addition to the actors and crew, in order to manage so many people, Li Xiuping asked Li Yansheng to introduce several relatives from his hometown, and he asked all these relatives to be assistant to the director and cooperate with him to manage the crew.

In order to prevent waste, he decided to wait for the employees to do a survey after they arrived, and specifically asked who wanted to eat employee breakfast and who didn't eat employee breakfast.

Ma Jingfei didn't want to talk to Li Xiuping about the crew, he smiled slightly and raised the red rose in his hand, "Director Li, do you say that Xiaoying will be popular?"

"With her appearance and acting skills, as long as she doesn't do it, she will become popular sooner or later. ”

"Is her acting skills very good? Wasn't she better than that person or that king yesterday?"

"She is a very good and strong person, she will improve, with her current foundation, as long as she improves a little more, she can stand out among actresses, so I said she will be popular. Li Xiuping casually made it up, thinking about today's shooting plan, he hoped that today would be faster, on the first day of filming yesterday, neither the crew nor the actors had yet entered a good working state, so the filming progress yesterday was very slow, and he hoped that there would be changes today.

"Then what kind of role do you think Xiaoying is suitable for? What kind of role is more likely to be popular? Well, that's not what it means, what role should it be that she can control and develop her career?"

…………

Li Xiuping just accompanied Ma Jingfei to chat nonsense, and after half past seven in the morning, the crew and staff arrived one after another, followed by the main actors, the first to come was Jiang Shuying, she was very surprised to see Ma Jingfei, she was about to ask Li Xiuping how much breakfast she was going to prepare, Ma Jingfei had already gotten up to report the little surprise he had prepared, and finally handed out the red roses, and said affectionately: "Xiaoying, I wish you a good mood." ”

Jiang Shuying rolled her eyes, she shook her head in disgust, "Ma Jingfei, I have already made it very clear, we are just ordinary friends, please don't do this, it will only disgust me." ”

"Don't worry, Xiaoying, I didn't want to force you to make a choice, I just hope you give me a chance to express myself, I have to do this, otherwise I am unwilling, please be considerate of me." ”

Jiang Shuying saw that Ma Jingfei said sincerely, and it was difficult to refuse again, so she had to say in a muffled voice: "Whatever you want." ”

After the words fell, Jiang Shuying glared at Li Xiuping fiercely, and then walked to the actress's dressing room, Ma Jingfei hurriedly caught up and handed over the love breakfast he had specially prepared to Ding Xiang.

Li Xiuping didn't notice Jiang Shuying glaring at him, he was still thinking about the shooting that entered. A few minutes later, Li Yifeng, Wang Longzheng and some other actors also arrived, and they all entered the dressing room. In order to shape the characters more accurately, Li Xiuping invited four hairstylists this time, two of whom were responsible for the main actors and two were responsible for group performances.

"Brother, there is still a hairstylist who didn't come, I just called, but no one answered. An assistant reported to Li Xiuping in a low voice.

The assistants are all relatives from their hometown, so they all call Li Xiuping "brother".

Li Xiuping nodded, "Let the two hairstylists get the main actors first, and let the other one take the lead first." ”

"Good. ”

After the assistant finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away, and then the cameraman of the No. 1 camera came, he frowned and said: "Director, in today's filming, the actor and the male No. 2 are discussing the case at the police station, according to your meaning, the police station is bright, so the strong light is used here, but I just debugged and found that the strong light of our crew is broken, so there is a direction that cannot be taken into account, and there will be shadows." ”

"Isn't there anything to spare?"

"I saw it on the prop list, but the prop master said he didn't know where to put it?"

Li Xiuping nodded, "Okay, I know, you should be careful when shooting in the morning, try not to shoot the shadow as much as possible, and I will arrange someone to buy it immediately." ”

"Okay, then I'll go. ”

After the cameraman left, Li Xiuping asked the assistant to send someone to buy a strong light, and then he called the prop master and asked him to look for it carefully, and the prop master nodded and agreed, "Director, no problem, but it's going to be a little later, now I really don't have time, the cameraman, set worker, makeup artist came to me to ask for something, you arranged two assistants for me, but now I still can't be busy." ”

"Was this the case with your previous crew?"

"It's about the same every morning when the shooting starts, and at this time, all departments come and pick up things, so it's not very easy to arrange. ”

Li Xiuping thought of the situation during the filming of the first season of "Sin in the Heart", it didn't seem to be so chaotic at that time, he thought for a while and said: "I'll give you a ten% salary increase, arrive at seven o'clock in the morning every day, and prepare the things of various departments in advance." ”

"Yes," the prop master glanced at Li Xiuping in surprise and readily agreed.

Li Xiuping had just finished dealing with the prop master, and the assistant ran over again, "Brother, the height of our elevator is not enough, today we want to shoot the scene from the perspective of the perverted killer, it is not enough to use the elevator alone, the cameraman of the third machine said that the elevator should be placed on a large truck without a shed." ”

"I'll rent a big truck right now. ”

"Good. ”

After the assistant finished speaking, he left in a hurry, Li Xiuping glanced at the time on his mobile phone, and found that it was half past eight, he couldn't help but be a little irritable, he used to shoot Wan Wan and the first season of "Crime in the Heart" can be saved, and the staff is less but faster, but now he wants to shoot a little more finely, and there are more people, but the preparation time alone has dragged on for dozens of minutes.

"Is the light camera ready?" asked Li Xiuping who was following him.

"I'm ready, but it's not good yet. ”

"I remember that Jiang Shuying has been in for almost fifty minutes, why hasn't it been okay?"

"Teacher Jiang is okay, but Teacher Li and Teacher Wang are not good, the stylist said that the temperament of these two characters is different, to highlight it, he has some small designs, so he has to wait a few more minutes. ”

The stylist has a sense of responsibility and ideas, which should be encouraged, Li Xiuping still understands this, he didn't urge again, just quietly looked into the distance, he thought of Liu Shengli on the phone last night and said that as of eight o'clock last night, the first season of "Crime in the Heart" reached 100 million people, and the praise was overwhelming.

The first season of "Guilty in the Heart" is popular, Li Xiuping is very happy, if he shoots the second season according to the standards of the first season, the progress should be much faster, but the details will definitely not be very good, but with the appreciation level of Chinese audiences, can they appreciate the director's intentions?

Li Xiuping was a little moved at that moment, "What more should I insist on? It's just an online drama, is it necessary to be so serious?"
