Chapter 70: The Disappearing Egg
"Big brother, give me the phone!"
In the process of filming in the 'slums', eighty percent of the scenes did not have Menjie's business, chatting with Yang Mi on the side, while observing other people's acting, Yang Mi had nothing to do, so she snatched the mobile phone from Menjie's hand and played.
Speaking of mobile phones, Menjie's original mobile phone was still a black and white, only an antique mobile phone of the snake game, which could only make calls and send text messages, so it had no other purpose.
Now this cool brand mobile phone is still given to him by the manufacturer when Menjie is the endorsement, and with Menjie's thrifty character, he is naturally willing to use it without spending money.
"This girl!"
Seeing Yang Mi take away her mobile phone and line up photos on the side, Menjie couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
I don't know how to do it, when Yang Mi is idle, she likes to take Menjie's mobile phone to the side to take pictures, and all the photos of Yang Mi are placed in Menjie's mobile phone, and even the screensaver and wallpaper are Yang Mi's cute appearance with a pair of big eyes.
In order not to disappoint Yang Mi, Menjie could only choose to ignore it......
"Big brother, it's okay!"
Not long after, Yang Mi ran back with a smile on her face, and handed back Menjie's mobile phone.
"You!" picked up the phone, and saw that the wallpaper had been changed to a cute photo of Yang Mi, and Menjie felt dumbfounded.
"What? Isn't my photo pretty? With her face puffed up, Yang Mi was a little dissatisfied with Menjie's attitude.
"Of course it's pretty!" In all fairness, Menjie nodded.
"Isn't it good looking? Then keep using my photos as wallpapers, and if you dare to change them, I won't be happy! After receiving Menjie's affirmation, Yang Mi once again showed her signature cute smile, and she was very happy in her heart.
Although the favorability is only 'intimate', and it can't reach the 'heartbeat 99%' between Menjie and Jia Jingwen, these two women have completely different personalities, one is gentle and generous, typical of the royal sister's demeanor, and the other is one year younger than himself, with a cute and charming appearance, a sweet girl's appearance, and Menjie also seems more lively together.
To be honest, although he has been thinking about how to make Jia Jingwen and his favorability reach the level of 'admiration', Menjie at this time still enjoys this feeling very much.
"By the way, we've been out for a month, is there really no problem with your school?" Idle and bored, Menjie asked Yang Mi who was watching Zhou Xingchi and others filming.
"Of course! I'm going to take the Beiying exam, with the experience of being the heroine in 'Kung Fu', I can definitely be more relaxed, besides, I also have self-study in the hotel every day, the college entrance examination is definitely not a problem, I'm a genius! With a sweet smile, Yang Mi said very proudly.
Hearing this, Menjie couldn't help but shake his head, although he didn't go to school again after graduating from junior high school, Menjie still felt in his bones that today's young people, even if they like filming, should go to school first and then do other things.
I didn't go to school, that's because my family is poor, I can only provide for one person to go to school, and Menjie, who is too good at learning, can only leave home and go out to work alone.
Among them, few people understand!
"Even if you study well, I recommend that you go back to school and study hard, in addition to learning knowledge, it is very important to communicate with your classmates! If you want, I'll go and tell the director to ask for a concentrated shooting of your scenes, anyway, it's not much, and it won't take two or three days to finish filming! ”
"Is there a difference between communicating at school and communicating with other actors and crew members here? I still find it more useful to communicate with others here! Seeing that Menjie wanted her to leave, Yang Mi suddenly said a little eagerly, "And, and I also want to study in the crew, study next to my big brother, and I don't want to go back to school!" ”
When she spoke, Yang Mi's face was a little ruddy, obviously she really wanted to stay here.
"Okay, okay, just your reasons!" Seeing Yang Mi's insistence, Menjie didn't say anything more, only sighed slightly.
Yang Mi on the side was slightly relieved to see that Menjie no longer persuaded her, and stared intently at the actors who were filming.
As a newcomer, Yang Mi is still relatively lacking in acting skills, and it is also a good opportunity to watch the performances of many masters in the film industry at close range, at least she can learn a lot, and whenever she doesn't understand something, Menjie will also explain it to her carefully, which really made her learn a lot in this month.
Although Menjie's acting skills are not very high, and now he only has a C- level, it is not a problem to explain to Yang Mi of the newcomer, and when he explains to others, it is a process of revision, which is also very beneficial to Menjie.
The acting skills of the system evaluation are the level of Menjie's acting skills, but some details in the filming process and some things that need to be paid attention to still have to be carefully studied by Menjie himself.
"Huh?"
Seeing everyone filming at this time, Menjie couldn't help frowning, and was a little uncertain.
The Axe Gang made trouble in the slums, oppressed a lot of poor families, and even burned women and children alive.
And now what is going to be filmed is the scene where the women and children rescued by the three people came over with eggs to thank them after the three martial arts masters beat everyone away with axes.
This scene was filmed before lunch, but because one of the actors forgot his lines, he started filming just after lunch.
It was a very simple and heartwarming scene, but Menjie frowned, thought for a while, and ran to Zhou Xingchi, who was filming, "Master Xing, I have something to tell you!" ”
"Tell me something, didn't you see me filming!" Zhou Xingchi's temper during the filming was extremely unstable, and when he saw Menjie coming to disturb him, he couldn't help frowning and said.
This is still because of the peerless genius progress at the beginning of Menjie's filming, which made him look at Menjie differently, if it was another person, I am afraid that he would directly let him go.
"It's not a big deal, I just feel like something is wrong with the props!" Seeing that Zhou Xingchi was quite angry, Menjie laughed dryly, and was about to retreat.
"Props? What's wrong with the prop? Zhou Xingchi frowned and asked.
For a movie, in addition to the factors of the actors, the quality of the movie itself is also the top priority.
For example, if in a costume movie, the camera accidentally captures a bicycle and an Adi logo......
I'm afraid it's not product placement and the problem complained about by the audience, but because of the negligence of the crew, which made the audience ruthlessly abuse!
There is no other reason, just because the appearance of things that do not conform to this era destroys the realism of the whole movie, and there is a feeling of 'fake', often as soon as this feeling is born, it will affect the audience's feelings when they watch the whole film again.
Therefore, whether it is product placement or goofs, as long as it can be avoided, the crew is absolutely willing to pay a huge price to avoid these problems.
"It's not a big deal, I just remember that the bowl that the kid served was full of eggs, and it was a little pointy, but now it seems to be ...... That's half a bowl left! Pointing to the bowl with the egg in the hand of the child performing in the distance, Menjie whispered.
"Really? I didn't really notice the eggs in the bowl! Frowning slightly, Zhou Xingchi also believed Menjie's words.
These days, while Menjie has shown his acting skills and affinity, he has not yet discovered several goofs in Zhou Xingchi, which makes Zhou Xingchi shout Menjie's observation.
The shot of Lin Tsaicong's hair cutting and shaking his chest muscles was shot in two parts, and a water cup behind Lin Tsaicong was accidentally moved twice.
In the opening scene, Feng Xiaogang was in the police station, knocking a policeman away and smashing the sign of "Crime Buster" written inside the police station, but the words on the sign in the next set of shots are still intact.
Among them, all the goofs are visible in Menjie's eyes, and his keen observation has made Zhou Xingchi cry out magically.
"Cards!" Looking at the bowl pointed out by Menjie, Zhou Xingchi also felt a little different from just now, and roared loudly, asking the photographer to retrieve the part he had just shot and play it back.
Outcome......
Obviously, the bowl in the child's hand was full of eggs when he was shooting before lunch, and now it is only half left!
"Who is it! Stand up for me! ”
Because of Menjie's words, Zhou Xingchi stopped filming and yelled loudly, and all the people in the entire crew looked over, and under the anger of director Zhou Xingchi, no one dared to say anything, and they were silent.
Of course, as a whistleblower, Men Jie naturally would not be suspected by Zhou Xingchi, standing beside Zhou Xingchi and looking at other people, trying to find out this 'criminal'.
"Don't say yes, do you? Good! If you don't find out this person today, our entire crew is here to accompany him! After shouting for a long time, but still no one admitted it, and most of the actors present were experienced actors, it was really difficult to see who it was, Zhou Xingchi gritted his teeth and said loudly.
"Director Zhou, Director Zhou, it's my ......" Seeing that Zhou Xingchi actually threatened the time of the entire crew, Lin Tsaicong walked out with a sad face and raised his hands.
"Actually, I didn't mean to, I just ...... The lunch box at noon was really not enough to eat, and I was worried that I would be too hungry during filming in the afternoon, so I ate a few eggs......"
"Master Xing, don't be angry, isn't it just a few eggs, I'll pay it, can't I pay it......"
