Entertainment: The Road to an Actor Starting from a Villain

"Director, is our crew so poor?"

Zhou Chen let out a long sigh, and questioned helplessly.

Anyway, he never thought that a film crew whose main content was spending money could be so poor.

Do you think the extras in the crew are all actors?
No, they could also be cinematographers, gaffers or even directors.

Yan Fei just smiled at Zhou Chen's questioning.

"Leave some money for the later stage."

Then direct the performances of the ensemble performers.

Zhou Chen also finally understood why the director was like a grandson in terms of capital and poor in love.

After all, this film is the second film work of the two directors. Although the strength of the two is guaranteed, the foundation is still a bit weak.

But even if you are poor, a good director can still greatly improve the quality of the film.

For the performances of the group performers, the requirements were not lowered just because the other party was not an actor with a professional background.

"You can let go a little more and use your imagination."

"It's not right here, don't react in advance, it must be reacted after the hotel is settled."

"Everyone really eats it later, don't be polite to me."

When it comes to having a good time speaking, he often even demonstrates in person to provide a reference template for group performances.

But even so, there will always be some people who don't understand the essentials.

"Director, I'm the only one who sets up the scene. Aren't you being embarrassing?"

It was a staff member who was setting up the scene who was speaking, playing the role of a defender in the team.

He also cherishes this rare performance opportunity very much.

Under Yan Fei's command, he played this role seriously.

However, directors, especially good directors, tend to be somewhat perfectionist.

No matter how you look at the performance of the actors, it is not good enough.

Especially in a relatively important position like him.

Naturally, the director's demands on him also increased.

But he is just a scene manager. It is absolutely difficult for him to perform perfectly according to the standards of an actor.

In this regard, Yan Fei finally recognized the reality after a long period of training to no avail, and planned to give up.

The big deal is to edit out the almost clips through post-editing.

But just because he gave up at this point does not mean that Zhou Chen will give up at this point.

"Let me do it."

Zhou Chen stood up and took over the task of training the extras.

Yan Fei's eyes flashed suddenly.

There was no Zhou Chen scene today, and he deliberately dragged Zhou Chen to the crew just for this sentence.

"Then leave it to you."

Speaking, as if afraid of Zhou Chen's repentance, Yan Fei went directly to the other side of the crew to check the layout of props and scenes.

Zhou Chen didn't care about such details, and turned to look at the staff member of the set.

This made his heart tense all of a sudden.

Although it was the first time for him to be narrated by an actor, he has been in the crew for so many years.

I have also seen the gestures of many actors and teachers lecturing, and finally came to a conclusion.

The more famous actors are, the higher the requirements for acting are, and the more they like to swear or even beat people.

However, Zhou Chen didn't have such a big temper, but simply chatted like an old friend.

"What do you think of this character?"

Arrangement was stunned for a moment before reacting.

I can't imagine Zhou Chen being so approachable.

Even the director directly added his own understanding to him.

But Zhou Chen was seriously asking for his opinion.

So after simple thinking, he also spoke slowly.

"I should be very happy, after all, I suddenly came to live in this sky-high price hotel, where I can eat and drink everything."

Zhou Chen nodded in agreement, this move made the nervousness of setting up the venue a bit more relaxed.

"Your understanding is correct, but it's more than that."

"The person you looked down on suddenly becomes the person you look down on, are you just purely happy?"

The eyes widened immediately after setting up the scene, just like the so-called one word awakened the dreamer.

Zhou Chen's words quickly made him realize what he was missing.

Soon, he drew inferences based on Zhou Chen's reminder.

"There is also envy, no, it should be jealousy of the other party, so you should pay attention to the performance..."

With the help of Zhou Chen, the set-up soon fully understood the role.

The results shown in the end made Yan Fei even more unbelievable that this was a small cloth field that was useless no matter how much he trained it.

While lamenting why the gap between people is so big, he also sold Zhou Chen.

"You can ask Mr. Zhou Chen any questions you don't understand about acting. He is the one when it comes to acting!"

As he said that, he gestured a thumbs up, without any scruples about the feelings of another actor, Hao Jian.

However, Hao Jian also knew that he was not as good as Zhou Chen in terms of acting skills alone, and he and the two directors had known each other for a long time.

So treat this kind of remark as a joke.

As for Yan Fei's extra tasks for himself, Zhou Chen didn't spare you even though he said it.

"Okay Yan Fei, I'm here to be an actor, why do I need a part-time acting teacher?"

"Tell you, if you don't pay me an extra salary for this matter, I won't do it."

This sentence immediately caused everyone to laugh again.

That is to say, Yan Fei's face is thick enough, and he doesn't take it seriously at all.

But talk is all talk, Zhou Chen also tried his best to teach these extras.

"You're right, but there are a few things you haven't considered here..."

"As a comedy, we still have to consider the comedy effect. The action here can be a little more exaggerated."

Under Zhou Chen's guidance, the group performers' acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

The effect created one by one is comparable to a professional background.

Even by analogy, many photographers said that their level has improved, and they know how to capture those shots.

The two directors also made guest appearances in the film, and also approached Zhou Chen for advice.

It's just that I kept this matter hidden and didn't tell it. After all, being a director also requires face.

But even if this matter was not announced, in the hearts of other staff, Zhou Chen's status was still rising.

Although he is not a director, what he does is the work of a director, so in private, Zhou Chen has become the third director in everyone's mouth.

As for Yan Fei and Peng Damo, they didn't take it seriously after hearing this title, so this title replaced the title "Mr. Zhou Chen" in the crew.

Zhou Chen was also a little dumbfounded about this.

But compared to the peace in the crew at the moment.

The scolding battle on the scarf is not so friendly.

That's right, the protagonist this time is Zhou Chen again.

And this time it's not a good reputation.
