Chapter Twenty-Five: Apprenticeship to the Great Director!
Director's room.
Ye Xiangdong held a cup of freshly brewed tea and handed it to the middle-aged uncle in his eyes, that is, Director Li Chongyan.
Hearing this name, the memory in my mind appeared like a textbook in an instant.
Li Chongyan was born on September 21, 1962, a famous Chinese film screenwriter and director, and one of the directors with box office appeal in Chinese mainland.
In April 2006, he won the Outstanding Contribution Award for Chinese Film at the 19th Xinghai International Film Festival with "Born to Be Useful".
In July 2008, the new movie "Happiness Hanging on the Cliff" hit a new high, and the box office was red, passing five hurdles and six generals all the way, winning a box office of 700 million, becoming the 19th director in China to break 100 million.
The legendary billionaire director!
"Guy, you're in a bad temper."
Li Chongyan took the tea handed by Ye Xiangdong, glanced at him quite amusedly, and then said jokingly.
forehead
Ye Xiangdong looked embarrassed, and kept scolding in his heart.
Paralyzed, those bastards in the previous life, who meowed that the director was a majestic demon on the set?
On set.
As long as you see who is the fiercest, ugliest, and worst, that person is the director.
But the uncle in front of him, you see, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a kind big cake face, and a slight smile, can squeeze out a trace of dimples.
This is the Great Demon King?
Do you dare to stand in front of me, the master takes a sip of salt soda, no, the master sprays a mouthful of hydrochloric acid to kill your group of nonsense chatter.
"Those who don't know are not to blame, forget it this time, don't take it as an example." After Li Chongyan finished drinking the tea, he said lightly.
"Yes, yes." Ye Xiangdong hurriedly responded.
"Sit down." Li Chongyan pointed to the chair opposite and said.
Ye Xiangdong nodded and sat down across from him.
Li Chongyan was playing with a fountain pen in his hand, and he was playing quite slippery, that is, he rotated the pen between his fingers.
Looking at this scene, Ye was 'in awe' in his heart, the big director was really awesome, just this one.
Ahem
Can I say that the master would have been in high school in his previous life?
Li Chongyan stopped the pen in his hand, and suddenly asked: "Listen to Director Gao, are you going to take the director qualification certificate?" That's why you came to my crew to learn practical experience? ”
"Yes." Ye Xiangdong put away his playful mood, he knew that the final assessment was coming, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Li Chongyan asked: "How about professional knowledge?" Are you familiar with the work of an assistant director? ”
Ye Xiangdong replied confidently: "I have all the theoretical knowledge, and I also know the work of the assistant director." ”
Grasp it all?
Li Chongyan raised his eyebrows, such an arrogant young man, which reminded him of himself back then.
With a rigorous attitude, he then tried to understand some particularly difficult questions in film expertise.
Ye Xiangdong murmured, his expression was indifferent, as if he had an illusion of being in control.
Most importantly.
Director Li Chongyan discovered that Ye Xiangdong's ability is far from this.
Even film analysis, identification, storyboard script writing, etc
All top notch!
"Genius?"
Li Chongyan couldn't help but float such a word in his mind.
asked a few more questions in a row, and the surprise in Director Li Chongyan's eyes gradually became solemn, it was really terrifying to understand filming movies so well at such a young age.
At this moment, he began to look at the young man in front of him, and after looking carefully, the outline in his heart became clearer and clearer.
The appearance condition is good, not handsome, but it is better than being beautiful!
a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold hand; The dark and deep eyes, the confident color, the thick eyebrows, and the high nose give people a very comfortable and sunny feeling.
In just a few minutes, Li Chongyan became more and more fond of the young man in front of him.
Subconsciously, it was completely from the heart that he consciously asked: "Young man, I am very optimistic about you, are you interested in learning to make movies with me?" ”
Since then, Ye Xiangdong has had a new identity on the Super Lucky Set - Director Li's founding disciple.
Li Chongyan is really good to him, and often teaches him all the experience and skills he has explored over the years.
On the first day of filming, everyone in the Super Lucky Theater, from the actor to the drama manager, the drama manager to the dragon set, etc., were amazed by Ye Xiangdong's diverse talents.
The first thing to do is the ability to understand and express himself, as long as Director Li Chongyan clicks slightly, he quickly understands what to do, and conveys it in concise language, the division of tasks is clear and orderly, and it seems that he is more suitable for this crew than the original assistant director.
When Li Chongyan saw this, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and there was really a meaning of asking for nothing more than what he wanted.
A natural director!
This is Director Li's evaluation of Ye Xiangdong in his heart.
An excellent director, in addition to excellent professional knowledge, first has keen observation, accurate judgment, and the ability to command in the face of danger.
These are all gradually shown from Ye Xiangdong, although he is still a little immature, but he believes that in a short period of time, Ye Xiangdong will definitely grow up rapidly.
Early in the morning, the first filming of the film ended.
Ye Xiangdong understood that all the ways are not easy.
Look at himself, an assistant director who seems to be very good, but he is tired of some scattered work.
What thugs came to make trouble, what water pipes burst, what group performances were not enough, what
It's all heaped together!
After being busy early in the morning, Ye Xiangdong felt that his whole body was wet with sweat, and finally it was time to rest, and he sat on the stone slab in the resting place.
"Dongzi, go on." Zhang Yan, a lighting engineer, took two bottles of mineral water and threw one bottle to Ye Xiangdong when he was near.
Zhang Yan, twenty-nine years old, is quite tall, slightly chubby, and has a kind personality, somewhat like the youngest son of Uncle Hanbai in his previous life.
The reason why he is good to Ye Xiangdong is because he was brought out by Li Chongyan, and he loves Wu and Wu, so he is naturally very good to Ye Xiangdong.
"Thanks."
Ye Xiangdong caught it, thanked him, and opened the cap of the bottle to be filled with a fierce pour.
Exhaled softly, leaning his back against the stone slab, feeling a trace of coldness transmitted to his body, Ye Xiangdong couldn't help but close his eyes.
Zhang Yan, who walked to the side, also drank a sip of water, sat beside Ye Xiangdong and suggested to him: "Dongzi, don't work too hard, today is still the first day, and it will be more than half a month later!" Don't do everything yourself, you are an assistant director, now it is no more than ten years ago, the assistant director's authority is not small, under the command of his hand, the extras below will definitely rush to help. ”
Ye Xiangdong nodded, of course he understood this, but only by experiencing it in person would he know more about how to shoot movies, so that he would not make a mess of filming "Crazy Stone" at that time.
From one small clue one can see what is coming.
Although it is not appropriate, Ye Xiangdong feels that the director and his party are inseparable from these four words.
"Let's go, take you to meet the rest of the crew, on the set, never be alone, that will make it seem like you are out of place." Zhang Yan patted Ye Xiangdong on the shoulder and motioned for him to go over together.
Ye Xiangdong got up with difficulty, moved his muscles, and followed Zhang Yan up.
