Time passed slowly, and it was September in the blink of an eye.

"The Frog Prince" was painted one after another, and fortunately, it finally broke the box office of 20 million.

It became the third highest box office of the year this year.

The first place is naturally Golden Harvest's "Five Lucky Stars", and the second place is "Best Partner" by Xinyicheng.

The third place is Shaw Brothers' "The Frog Prince", three films Xiangjiang Film's three giants, and the three major companies are relatively satisfied with this situation.

Shaw Brothers also has a place to make a difference this year, and Chen Jiayao is facing a lot less pressure.

For Chen Jiayao not taking any more movies, Shaw Brothers didn't care.

"Autumn Fairy Tale" has only two shots in Xiangjiang, and it is very simple.

One scene of family, one scene on the plane.

Chen Jiayao is very familiar with the filming process, and as one of the directors and producers, it can be said that she is the biggest coordinator.

Before filming, she needs to discuss with the staff according to the script and shooting requirements, choose the exterior location or guide the construction of the interior scene; and guide the props team to complete the preparation and layout of props; She also needs to participate in the lighting, drama management, actors, camera, recording, art, makeup, and costumes of the shooting site during the shooting.

Compared with actors, directors are undoubtedly more cumbersome and busy.

Fortunately, Chen Jiayao was familiar with these processes in her previous life, and the assistant director in her previous life was the assistant to the director, and the assistant director who had no power did all kinds of trivial things, and the assistant director who had the power could choose actors or take charge of part of the shots.

Chen Jiayao has been doing trivial things for several years. Later, he also became a powerful assistant director, plus the connections and rights in this life, as well as what he has learned, at least the two scenes filmed today went smoothly.

After filming two scenes, Chen Jiayao held a press conference.

This movie has long been known to everyone, and there were many reporters at the press conference, and there were various types of questions, but on the whole, they still grasped the key points and asked about the movie.

After the press conference. It's almost time.

Chen Jiayao traveled to the United States with a team. Li Ammonium had already been arranged, the shooting location, shooting equipment, and the hotel where he stayed were all arranged.

The film was shot primarily in Chinatown. A whole bunch of compatriots were happy to support the filming of the film.

After Chen Jiayao arrived in the United States. A qiē is carried out very smoothly.

Take a day off to adjust to jet lag. Chen Jiayao rushed to the shooting site and was very satisfied with the scene arranged by Li Ammonium's American team.

Zhou Yunfa also got his own costume, and he joked: "Originally, it was very old and rotten clothes that I was mentally prepared for." I didn't expect it to be more broken than I imagined. ”

Chen Jiayao stepped forward to take a closer look, Zhou Yanfa didn't match this outfit at all.

Chen Jiayao knew that Zhou Runfa hadn't started yet, and once he entered the role, what would he play like.

"His face is a little darker and yellower, and there is a lot of stubble on his mouth, his hair is messy, and his hands and wrists are also covered with a layer of melanin." She said to the makeup artist.

Zhou Yunfa lay on the chair and let the makeup artist fiddle, but every time Chen Jiayao said a word, his eyes kept trembling.

When Zhou Runfa's style came out, Chen Jiayao gave him a white sweat towel, Zhou Runfa was wearing a shabby short-term blue suit, with two buttons, and it was crooked, and the sweat towel was placed on the back of the shoulder, with a sloppy face, it was quite like a 'bow of a boat'.

Zhou Yanfa stood up, and he didn't take a straight step like he used to, but walked a hooligan step, which was not particular and rude.

Chen Jiayao smiled and gestured to her fingers.

Zhou Yan laughed and said, "I've been studying for a month or two, and people who know me recently have also said that I have become a hooligan." ”

Chen Jiayao couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, it was Zhou Yanfa, who was famous in his dedication, he was so busy, but he would still study hard and take his role seriously.

"Brother Fa, you go and get acquainted with Director Li."

Zhou Yanfa agreed, the actor and the director became familiar with it, and the filming could be tacitly understood.

Chen Jiayao began to ask makeup artists to style herself.

Cut her hair and make her shoulder-length short hair slightly curly, Thirteen Sister is a very fashionable girl, but her image is very popular, and among the more than six million Xiangjiang people, many people like the image of Thirteen Sister can be found.

Chen Jiayao also made her complexion darker yellow, otherwise her snow-white face would be a little out of tune with the shots needed for the movie.

About half an hour, Chen Jiayao changed into a windbreaker costume, and the image of the thirteenth sister came out.

She looked in the mirror, made two watches, and nodded as she imagined the image of the camera flashing during the shooting.

On the first day of filming, Chen Jiayao and Li Ammonium did not arrange much filming repertoire, and today is mainly to get acquainted with each other between the two teams and strive for better running-in.

***

"Alas, this woman is really a tea pot, what is a "tea pot"? Trouble, trouble, you don't know English? Zhou Yanfa walked quickly, and did not forget to turn around and say viciously.

Chen Jiayao's pace slowed down and lowered her head slightly, she must have been dissatisfied with this sentence, but she saw the rudeness of the bow ruler, and the scolding and fighting with him and his gang on the road, she didn't dare to scold back directly, so she could only mutter.

“CUT！”

Li Ammonium shouted.

The two stopped, and Li Ammonium said: "Brother Fa, the tone is softer, you can be louder when you say trouble, and then you realize that the thirteenth sister is a girl, and the voice of the next sentence is lowered. ”

Zhou Yunfa immediately understood and said, "I know." ”

"Act Eleven, Ready, ACTION!"

"What teapot?" Chen Jiayao sped up a few steps and ran up and asked crampedly.

"Alas, this woman is really a tea pot, what is a "tea pot"? Trouble, trouble. ”

Chen Jiayao was startled and leaned back.

"Don't you know English?" The voice is still hard, but it's noticeably soft. ”

Chen Jiayao turned around and lowered her head, muttered, and when she raised her head again, Zhou Yanfa walked a few steps in front of her, and she hurriedly put it down and followed.

"Good!"

Li Ammonium bought back the movies and TV series filmed by Chen Jiayao and Zhou Yanfa's movies and TV series these days, and then observed their expressions in them little by little, and finally came to the answer that these two are very good actors, and they can understand everything.

Li Ammonium is confident that the film will be done well, just like this time, Zhou Yanfa changed his tone, and Chen Jiayao was able to change it according to this subtle change, and the performance was more appropriate.

Since Li Ammonium didn't say CUT, the two continued to act.

For the two who have made a lot of TV movies, it is very simple to look at the position and walk the camera.

The two continued to shoot the next plot, although the space was far apart, but the two still did not leave the camera.

Until the filming of this location scene was over, the two never made a mistake.

After "CUT", Chen Jiayao drank saliva and partnered with old actors, especially with Zhou Runfa, who had already experienced good acting skills, Chen Jiayao found that her acting skills were well driven, and she felt very good.

Come to think of it, Zhou Runfa has reached the advanced stage of the 'meaning' realm mentioned by Zhou Huihua.

After the first day of filming, everyone quickly called it a day, and then led by the American team, they took a good look at Chinatown and nearby attractions.

Finally, after eating and drinking, everyone got along well.

Filming started on the second day, and characters were added accordingly.

Although Chen Jiayao is also a director, she is also the starring screenwriter, and most of the filming is still done by Li Ammonium.

Li Ammonium's lens is really delicate, and the color is also very simple.

There is no gorgeous lens shooting, just such an original lens produces a sober and clean beauty for the captured picture.

After Chen Jiayao watched the replay scene, she was even more satisfied, and she didn't think about interfering with the pictures he shot, and even occasionally when she was in charge of the camera, she was close to his shooting thoughts.

Chen Jiayao feels that there is no lens more appropriate than today's lens.

Filming continued, and the money flowed like water.

At this time, Li Ammonium is not in the future, and he doesn't care much about financial problems, at this time, he will try to shoot the picture he wants, and then find a way to terminate the contract to shoot.

Although this is the case, but a month later, the budget has been overspent a lot, but fortunately, Chen Jiayao has sufficient funds and injected another 1 million, so it can be said that this time her investment is already a real 5 million system.

However, Chen Jiayao was not unhappy at all, but looked forward to the production of this work.

Chen Jiayao is responsible for coordinating other work, Li Ammonium focuses on the camera and actors' performances, the two cooperate more and more smoothly, and the plot in the back has also accelerated the filming a lot.

The overall atmosphere of the crew is very peaceful, and the Americans involved are also very good at talking, and they lost their temper when they were working seriously on the set, but after getting off the set, they all seemed to be a little good.

Zhou Yunfa opened up a career in acting, and he had some insights into his acting skills, and after the understanding, he realized that his acting skills had improved a lot.

Sure enough, the role of the bow ruler is very explosive, Zhou Yunfa couldn't play a shy repertoire before, but now he plays it vividly, which makes people can't help but laugh when they see it, and at the same time, they like this shy and caught bag in their hearts.

Yes, when Zhou Yunfa played this expression, people ignored his own age and the age and rudeness of the bow ruler, and instead thought he was a big boy.

As he gained more experience and the knowledge gained from making a film was difficult to measure, he had already found that he had thought of many things that he had not thought of before, and also identified many problems that he had not understood or was difficult to solve before.

Of course, the ones who benefited the most belonged to Lu Songxian and Lan Jieying.

For two newcomers, it goes without saying that the guidance gained from participating in the process is needless to say.

What's more important is that Zhou Yunfa and Chen Jiayao, two old birds with very good acting skills, are taught by hand, and even often accompany them to play.

Occasionally, Li Ammonium will come over and talk fiercely about their acting skills and point out their weak points, and in just one month, their acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds. (To be continued......)
