Chapter 238: Sycophancy

"'Strange Her' is about a grandmother in her 70s who has worked hard all her life, who is disliked in society and family, and only her neighbors have a deep affection for her.

One day, the daughter-in-law had a heart attack because she couldn't stand her stinky temper, but she saved her life because of the timely rescue. For the sake of the daughter-in-law's condition, the whole family decided to send her to a nursing home after discussion.

Before leaving, the grandmother thought that she was old and afraid that her time was short, so she came to a "youth photo studio" to take a posthumous photo.

Unexpectedly, when the shutter was pressed, she turned out to be 50 years younger and became a 20-year-old girl, which led to a series of ridiculous stories." Chen Jing introduced.

"Director Chen, "Strange Her" is a fantasy film?"

"Well, it's not accurate enough, it should be said to be a comedy with fantasy overtones." Chen Jing said.

"Director Chen, why do you want to be a director, is it influenced by Dong Chou and Wang Lihong?"

"Part of it, but the main reason is that I want to try something different." Chen Jing said nonsense.

"Director Chen, you dyed your blonde hair today, is it necessary for the role?"

"Yes, my character in the show is a young man who likes rock and roll, and for the sake of the role, he dyed his hair blonde." Chen Jing said.

"The box office of Dong Chou's "The Secret That Can't Be Said" is 33.3 million, and Wang Lihong's "Love Notice" has a box office of 53.2 million, so Director Chen, how much do you think the box office of "Strange Her" can be?"

"The investment in the movie is 50 million, so the box office will have to be at least 150 million to pay off!" Chen Jing said with a smile.

The reporters were a little disappointed when they heard this, although 150 million was higher than the box office of Dong Chou and Wang Lihong, but these two films were 6 years and 3 years ago respectively.

It's not too difficult to get 150 million at the box office now, look at Guo Xiaosi's "Little Times" box office has reached 483 million.

As a super popular idol, Chen Jing has die-hard fan elves, so it is not difficult for "Strange Her" to get a box office of 150 million.

"Okay, let's stop staring at me alone, let's ask the others!" Chen Jing said with a smile.

When they heard this, they turned their spears.

"Chen Kun, why did you take "Strange Her"?"

Chen Kun smiled when he heard this, "Of course, it's because the script is good, and I think it's very interesting after I see this script."

"Li Qing, how do you feel about working with Chen Jing for the first time?"

After hearing this, Li Qing glanced at Chen Jing and smiled, "I think Director Chen is very talented and powerful, especially the role of the heroine is very difficult, and I am looking forward to this cooperation."

……

"The super popular idol Chen Jing's movie "Strange Her" is officially launched!" --- reported by Sohu Entertainment

"Chen Jing turned into a director, *** work "Strange Her" is launched!" --- New Wolf Entertainment

"Self-written, directed and acted, Chen Jing wears many hats to keep up with Dong Chou and directs a movie for the first time!" --- Wangyi Entertainment

"Chen Jing and Chen Kun collaborate again to create the fantasy comedy "Strange Her"!" --- Qiandu Entertainment

……

After the launch of "Strange Her", the news immediately appeared on the front pages of major portals.

It has attracted the attention of countless elves and melon-eating people.

As a super popular idol, and only 23 years old, he wrote, directed, and acted in a trinity film, which is the first time in the circle.

Chen Jing, who is the focus of the media and the public, has once again become the center of heated discussions at the moment. ….

It's just that everyone's opinion is not the same.

The elves are naturally looking forward to the release of this "Strange Her", after all, it is a *** work directed by idols, and Chen Jing himself also participated.

But more insiders are more conservative about this movie.

First of all, Chen Jing is too young, only 23 years old, for the director, this age may only be a teenager.

The second is that Chen Jing is not from a professional class, and today, when cross-border directing has not become the norm, the threshold for directors is still relatively high.

This also made Chen Jing despised by many professional directors, and felt that Chen Jing thought that making movies was too simple, and it was not that he could do whatever he wanted.

In the face of real technology and art, popularity is nothing.

Many people are waiting for this super popular idol who has developed smoothly since returning to China.

But it is undeniable that "Strange Her" has attracted a lot of attention as soon as it started filming, and it has also become a highly anticipated work.

Although this expectation has good intentions and suspicions!

At the same time, the blonde Chen Jingzhao instantly exploded on the Internet.

Because the role needs to dye her hair blonde, Chen Jing is more unruly and ruffian than she was handsome in the past, but there are more different temptations.

This photo was quickly spread by the elves, who praised their idols for their good looks, and even many elves said that they were licking the screen.

Coupled with Chen Jing's popularity, this handsome photo quickly spread all over the Internet, and people who didn't know Chen Jing were asking who it was.

The popularity of the photo is not even less than that of "Strange Her"!

……

Chen Jing on the other side rushed back to the crew with a group of creators after the launch conference.

The assistant director had already prepared the incense case, and Chen Jing led everyone to the incense case, burned incense and worshiped God together, and then ate the pig's head and fruit.

Then, Chen Jing came to a camera covered with red silk, lifted the red silk vigorously, and shouted with a megaphone, "I announce that "Strange Her" is officially launched!"

"Oh......"

"Papapa......

"Turn it on!"

……

After the start-up ceremony, Chen Jing asked the photographer to take a group photo of the entire crew, which was regarded as a souvenir.

Then, the crew began to run and prepared to officially start filming.

An assistant director goes to check if the various departments are ready.

An assistant director goes to give a lecture to the actors.

Chen Kun said a word to Chen Jing and left first.

Although Chen Kun is the male number one, he doesn't have many scenes, and the signing schedule is only three weeks, and the roles are also ranked behind, so he left first.

Chen Jing sat behind the monitor and watched the crew work.

"Everyone is quiet, filming is about to begin, please be quiet!"

"One last check, are the lights ready?"

"That's it!"

"Master Pole?"

「OK!」

"Photography?"

"No problem!"

……

""Strange Her" 6 scenes, 1 shot, 1 shot, smack!"

"Let's go!" Chen Jing shouted with some excitement.

The first scene of film and television drama shooting generally chooses a relatively simple scene to start, in order to be able to shoot it as soon as possible and get off to a good start. ….

After all, as the saying goes, the beginning of everything is hard, and a good start is half the battle.

Therefore, Chen Jing's first choice was a family scene between her grandmother (Gui Yalei) and daughter-in-law (Jiang Shan), both of whom are old drama bones, and it should be relatively easy to shoot.

The grandmother in the play is a 70-year-old man who has worked hard all her life, and she loves her son and grandson very much, but she has always been very picky about her daughter-in-law as a housewife.

And the daughter-in-law has always been forbearing, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not very harmonious!

In the kitchen, Gui Yalei looked at the pot of soup that was being stewed, and said angrily, "You, you, how many times have I told you?" You can't do that with stews!"

Glancing back at her daughter-in-law, who was doing housework, Gui Yalei continued, "Don't just put radishes underneath, cover some on top as well, so that the radish juice can seep into the seafood meat."

Daughter-in-law Jiang Shan was busy with the housework in her hands, seemingly listening, but in fact she didn't care at all.

Obviously, after so many years, I have become accustomed to it, and even if there is dissatisfaction, I can only ignore it.

"Good!" Chen Jing shouted.

Gui Yalei plays a strong mother-in-law, which is no problem at all.

Jiang Shan's acting skills are also completely online.

After speaking, Chen Jing got up and entered the scene, because there was also a role in this scene of his grandson.

""Strange Her" 6 scenes, 2 shots and 1 shot, smack!"

"Let's go!"

When Gui Yalei lectured Jiang Shan, Chen Jing, who was carrying the bass on her back, came down from upstairs and tiptoed to slip out.

happened to be discovered by Jiang Shan, and said angrily, "Where are you going early in the morning?"

Seeing that she had been discovered, Chen Jing straightened up helplessly and said, "Go for an interview."

"Interview?" Jiang Shan was surprised when she heard this, and approached Chen Jing and asked, "Didn't you tell me that you only regard music as a hobby?"

Seeing Chen Jing's calm and indifferent look, Jiang Shan frowned and persuaded bitterly, "Don't you see that your sister is studying so hard and it's hard to find a job?"

"What are you talking about me?" Ma Sichun, who was catching up on sleep on the sofa, sat up impatiently with his eyes closed.

"What an effort." Chen Jing debunked, "She watched the replay of "The Legend of Lu Zhen" all night!"

"Xiang Qianqian, you are looking for death!" Ma Sichun immediately threatened.

Chen Jing helped the bass behind him and walked towards the door, and said, "Mom, I can make money with music faster than she can get a job!"

Jiang Shan followed step by step, complaining angrily, "I suffered so much to raise you so that you can be a drama?"

When Gui Yalei heard this, she immediately blocked between the mother and son, and complained to Jiang Shan, "What did you say the child was doing early in the morning? And what have you suffered?

Isn't it just taking the money earned by my husband to do housework at home?"

Jiang Shan clenched her fists when she heard this, looked at Gui Yalei expressionlessly, and did not speak.

Gui Yalei turned to Chen Jing and smiled, and stuffed money to Chen Jing, "Baby grandson, don't be hungry, buy something delicious!"

Chen Jing looked at the money in his hand, smiled and said to Gui Yalei, "Grandma, thank you! Then I'll go first."

Gui Yalei smiled kindly and waved her hand, "Go ahead, pay attention to safety on the road!" ….

And Angelica Yalei was already expressionless when she turned her face.

"Good!" The assistant director shouted.

Hearing the shout, Chen Jing immediately ran back to the monitor to watch the replay.

After taking a closer look, Chen Jing felt that Gui Yalei and Jiang Shan acted very well, and Ma Sichun was also good, but he was a little unnatural and a little contrived compared to Yi.

"Everyone is doing well, but I have some problems, so let's do it again!" Chen Jing said.

Everyone naturally has no opinion, and the director has the final say in the crew.

""Strange Her" 6 scenes, 2 shots, 2 times, snap!"

"Let's go!"

……

This time, Chen Jing was more relaxed, and her performance was more natural and smooth.

Gui Yalei and Jiang Shan are as stable as ever, and Ma Sichun's two sentences are no problem.

"Okay, over it!" Chen Jing said happily.

It's only been two times, and it's a good start.

Everyone in the crew is also very happy, although it is superstition, but a good start is always a good thing.

Then the crew continued to shoot scenes at home without transitions.

When it was noon, Chen Jing shouted to stop eating.

I didn't shoot a few scenes in one morning.

Before the start of filming, Chen Guofu, Wu Jing and others told Chen Jing that the crew needed to run in as soon as filming started, and not to rush.

Don't shoot too fast, because the actors often don't get into the state, and the effect of forcing the shooting is not good, especially compared with the later scenes, the state of the actors will be significantly different.

Earlier, it was filmed slowly, and gradually cultivated everyone's tacit understanding and state, so that not only would the result be twice the result with half the effort, but the whole movie would also appear smoother, and there would be no need to reshoot or reshoot.

Chen Jingdi

Once shooting, naturally listen to the lessons learned, the first day is to shoot slowly, and when the time is up, put down the meal and rest.

During the meal, Chen Jing called Li Qing to his side.

"Director Chen, you call me?" After Li Qing came over, he asked cautiously.

Chen Jing smiled, "Sit down and eat together."

Li Qing hesitated when he heard this, but still sat down.

"How did you feel after watching the morning shoot?" Chen Jing asked.

"Everybody's doing well." Li Qing replied.

Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "There are still a few days left in your role, and this is also deliberately arranged by me, because you are a 20-year-old grandmother, so you must still maintain the habitual movements and demeanor of your grandmother."

Therefore, in this time when there is no scene, you must always return to Teacher Yalei, and you must personally consult her and imitate her words and deeds, so that your 20-year-old grandmother can be more in line with the requirements of the role."

Li Qing nodded when he heard this, "I understand, director, I will definitely ask for advice, figure out a good role, and not let you down."

Chen Jing smiled after hearing this, "Don't be nervous, don't be restrained, Mr. Li and Sister Mi have entrusted me to take care of you, take it easy."

Li Qing smiled when he heard this, "Just thinking that you are a director, I unconsciously feel a little formal."

"I've never seen you so respectful when we met before." Chen Jing said with a smile.

"At that time, weren't you still a director!" Li Qing smiled, "It's different now, you have the power of life and death in my hands."

"Oh, the power of life and death!" Chen Jing laughed when she heard this.

"What are you talking about, Director?" Ma Sichun leaned over and smiled.

"Talk about your acting skills." Chen Jing said with a smile.

Ma Sichun shook his head, "Of course, haha......

"Hey, boss, your picture is going crazy." Ma Sichun stared at Chen Jing's handsome face and said.

"What's the crazy picture?" Chen Jing wondered.

"Now, this is it!" Ma Sichun handed the mobile phone in his hand to Chen Jing.

Chen Jing saw that it was a photo of her press conference, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you think you're handsome?" Ma Sichun said, and then handed it to Li Qing, "Look, isn't it super handsome! Super sexy!"

Li Qing looked at the photo of his phone, then looked at Chen Jing in front of him, and nodded with a smile, "The director is indeed very handsome, even if he is in the circle, he can rank in the top three."

Chen Jing smiled, "I like this sycophant! Come, take two more shots, and make me happy!"

"Haha......"
