Chapter 82: What is a Movie (Part I)

If analyzed purely from the perspective of the character, Danny is obviously more malleable than Ryan!

He is unruly, obviously a dying man, it is he who proposed to take Ryan to see the sea, there is no money, it is him who robs, he seems to have a rough character, and he is very filial - the bucket list is very clear: buy a pink Cadillac or two for your mother...

Ryan is simply weak in comparison.

Office worker, no smoker, and along the way, he also persuaded Danny not to be a robber.

It's just an honest man who does his duty...

There is nothing malleable for such a role, for an 'acting school' like Bai Xiaofei, it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it!

To put it simply, Danny is the male number one in the absolute sense, and Ryan is a supporting role...

It stands to reason that Bai Xiaofei should choose Danny, but his image limits him!

Bai Xiaofei can't play a domineering role, regardless of height or looks...

Although Zhang Shan is also a little less meaningful, at least he is full of ruffianism, in a sense, Danny is a little ruffian...

……

The filming has been going smoothly these days, with the actors, scenes, photography, scheduling, everything going unexpectedly well.

With Huang Liang in control, it is indeed much better than Bai Xiaofei alone!

Experienced ones are really different from stunned heads.

One can rely on ventriloquism and craftsmanship to last for half an hour, and he only knows how to pull out the gun, and he can be cool...

There are only a few night scenes in the whole film, so after the shooting plan is basically completed during the day, everyone is free to move around at night.

Shanghai is the largest city in the country, and naturally it is a place where many single men like to go.

In fact, on the second day of coming here, a few people in the crew who like waves have already added a lot of 'friends' on WeChat...

The night market is also quite lively, with some well-dressed girls swaggering through the streets with a central or northeastern accent.

can only say that the power of "Where Are You Going, Dad" is too small, just leveling Dong*guan, and having the ability to ban all such places in the country!

The filming of "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" went very smoothly, Bai Xiaofei directed and acted by himself, and he was busy making the shooting plan for the next day every day, so he rarely worked overtime to shoot, so he could often see the crew going to Dabaojian in twos and threes...

Hey, my sacrifice for the sake of the movie is really great!

However, in the past few days, Bai Xiaofei has clearly felt a centripetal force belonging to the crew.

It's probably a kind of law of attraction, from the director to the actors, everyone is very attentive to one thing, and the staff around them are naturally infected...

Today, I was going to shoot a scene at a gas station.

Who knew that it had been raining since the morning, and it was dripping and annoying!

Bai Xiaofei originally liked rainy days very much, but it affected his normal work!

Filming will definitely not be possible, so I have to announce that we will all take a day off.

Since you want to shoot on location, you definitely need a little better weather...

Fortunately, the reserved schedule is enough, and the time is not a problem!

It was early summer, and the Yangtze River basin ushered in the rainy season, and it seems that some adjustments must be made!

It rained all day and only lightened a little in the evening.

The air outside was damp, the sound of dripping rain, Director Bai was holding a big apple in his hand, nibbling on it, chatting with Zhang Shan.

"Shanzi, when do you think the rain will stop?"

“… I'm not the weather forecast, and besides, the rain doesn't stop, you can't shoot some indoor scenes? ”

"Didn't I see that everyone has been working hard lately, so I let me take a day off."

Touching his nose, Bai Xiaofei was a little embarrassed.

This is his dereliction of duty and failure to come up with an emergency adjustment plan in time!

No way, it's too smooth, maintaining the high-quality level of eighty shots a day, Bai Xiaofei faintly has a sense of contempt for movie shooting, or rather, the recent series of happy events has made him a little too proud...

"What are you anxious about? Tight schedule? ”

Bai Xiaofei glanced at him teasingly.

He knew very well that Shanzi had half a year to spare for this "Knocking on the Door of Heaven"!

is still the same sentence, every actor yearns for the big screen...

Zhang Shan opened his mouth to say something, but found that he was actually eaten to death!

It's not good to film with someone who knows you very well...

"Don't worry, this drama will definitely make you popular, didn't I say it, follow me, and I guarantee that you will definitely win the Oscar before you die!"

"You've said this a hundred times!"

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door.

Is there an actress who sends warmth?

It's impossible, in the past few days of filming, except for the female doctor who is an actress, the others are all male actors, and the actor who plays the female doctor is recommended by Huang Liang...

Could it be that Lao Huang is old and decrepit, and his energy is low?

Bai Xiaofei coughed and asked, "Who?" ”

"Me!"

I'll go!

It's actually Huang Liang himself!

"Director Huang?"

"I'm old, I can't sleep, I want to talk to you young people!"

"Come in!"

In fact, Huang Liang is only forty-two, and he is a young director in the director world...

Bai Xiaofei turned his head to look at Yu Liwei, and saw that he had also rolled off the sofa with his shoes on, and said with a smile: "Then let's have a drink?" ”

This suite is Bai Xiaofei's, but Zhang Shan has been thinking about it, saying that this room is near the sea, so he came in in a daze.

Bai Xiaofei didn't care, anyway, there was no young lady to accompany him, so he simply agreed.

The living room is very large, several people are sitting on the sofa, and there is a coffee table in the middle, asking the waiter to bring a few plates of appetizers, open the bottle of 'Liuyang River', and fill it for Huang Liang.

"Mr. Huang, it's rare that you haven't filmed today, why don't you rest more?"

"I can't sleep!"

Lao Huang picked up the cup and touched it with Bai Xiaofei, took a sip, and said, "I'm not afraid that you two will laugh at me, my script has been rejected again!" ”

If the assistant director wants to be upgraded to become a director, someone to invest is the first priority, how can someone invest?

You have to have good projects!

Nowadays, the IP with names and surnames has basically been acquired by major film and television companies, and it can only take the original way.

It's a pity that the originality doesn't work...

Not everyone has the opportunity to impress investors, and now investors are so shrewd, they miss the days when coal bosses were investors, they have no other requirements except for asking for actresses, and never interfere with creation!

Bai Xiaofei glanced at Zhang Shan, who was very interested, thought about it, and asked, "What type of script?" ”

"It's a work about the dragon set of Hengguo, "I am the dragon set of armor"..."

"..."I am a dragon suit"?"

Bai Xiaofei was a little shocked.

This theme is so familiar, it seems that director Er Dongsheng filmed a "I Am a Passerby", and the reputation is good, but unfortunately, the box office is very low and he failed to recover the cost, and then Er Dongsheng tinkered with "The Sword of the Third Young Master", a big loss...

“… It's a story of a group of tricks! ”
