You made me a superstar

Chapter 15 Shooting Day

outside the house.

The wind was very strong, and there were whirring sounds from time to time, vaguely, as if some wild animal was howling.

In the temporary dormitory that used to be noisy, there were only empty beds left at this moment.

Chen Shuangbao stared at the ceiling with his eyes open.

From time to time, there was a "creaking" sound in his ears.

The sound of turning over, which he didn't care about at all in the past, was so loud that he couldn't fall asleep at this moment.

Mining coal for so many years...

This is the first time this happened.

He knew he was probably going to lose sleep.

"Are you asleep?" At this moment, there was a soft greeting from the next bed.

"Didn't sleep." Chen Shuangbao replied.

"Shuangbao, you said... our group is really going to make a movie? Is it the kind of movie that many people watch in movie theaters?" The voice from the next bed seemed a little excited, but a little unbelievable .

"I probably won't be able to go to the cinema. I heard that our boss filmed this movie for fun... It's like shooting a video..." Chen Shuangbao shook his head.

"Oh, no wonder the crew looks so simple... It turned out to be, hey, I thought I could be in the movie..." The voice next door was suddenly disappointed, and then seemed to lie back again.

Not long after, the long-lost snoring sounded.

Listening to the snoring, Chen Shuangbao felt a little sleepy.

Just at this time……

"Shuangbao, tell me, if the boss is promoting Xiaosan's movie, then why would Zhou Yang work with us? From his appearance, it seems that it is not as simple as making a video..." Amidst the snoring, the bed on the other side There was a voice of doubt.

"I don't know..." Chen Shuangbao shook his head, "I don't know anything like you..."

"Can we shoot it?"

"I'll talk about sleep tomorrow..."

"Okay, let's go to sleep." The doubtful voice waited for a long time without waiting for Chen Shuangbao's answer, and finally quieted down.

outside the house.

The wind is still there.

inside the house.

Chen Shuangbao was still staring at the ceiling.

Although he is the backbone among these few people, he is also full of doubts.

them……

Are you really going to make a movie?
Can you really shoot well?
They were inexplicably selected by Zhou Yang among a group of coal diggers and pulled into the crew.

Before that, they had no acting foundation at all, and they rarely even watched movies.

Probably, in their impression, the movie should be the kind that a long, long time ago, in the open-air square, many people moved benches and sat together to watch it?
..............................

the next day.

The sun is shining.

The mining area is very lively.

Many people in Xinyang County braved the cold and climbed up from the bottom of the mountain, and surrounded the shooting site several times.

The film project, called "Mine Bottom," has been on hold for days.

It did go through all kinds of ups and downs.Experienced the director's fraud, experienced the anger of the actors, and experienced a large number of withdrawals from investors...

At one point everyone thought the movie was over.

But I didn't expect it to survive all of it, and it was able to survive until the day of filming. What was even more unexpected was that a few coal diggers who could not read a lot of characters were invited to the film crew to make a movie...

and!

Seems to be an important role in it?
It's like a joke.

Ha ha!

Any cat or dog can be a director, write a script, and make a movie.

The staff members drooped their faces, laying out equipment in the shooting area, looking for shooting angles.

They look a little out of sorts...

Unreliable director, unreliable script, and unreliable actors...

This is destined to be a hit on the street, and it may even be a documentary that is so bad that it can't even be released.

They feel that shooting this thing is a waste of life.

Moreover, because of the limited investment and the fact that all the bills were in Zhou Yang's hands, they couldn't make much money from this movie at all.

Who will be active?

This state lasted for more than an hour, until a Wrangler parked in the open space outside the crew.

"Comrades have worked hard!"

A burst of passionate greetings came over.

The staff subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.

They saw a figure with a big belly staggering out of the car, waving to everyone like a head of state.

The big gold chain seemed to be extraordinarily glittering in the sun, which was a little dazzling...

And behind him, there are several strong and cruel youths carrying black bags.

Looks like a bodyguard.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's a little bit of fun, just tell me if you need anything!"

"Comrade has worked hard, take it, this is Zhang's little care, you must accept it..."

"Good luck, thank you! Thank you for your hard work..."

"Thank you thank you!"

"..."

In this world, many people, including Qian Wei, the head of the photography team, feel that they are a man of character.

He felt that he admired art, freedom and unrestrained, and noble morality, and he felt that he could stay away from temptation and keep his heart.

All morning, he was looking for the feeling of shooting.

Art needs feeling.

Just like Tsarist Russia needs Beijing and Trump.

but……

When Zhang Genshui shook hands with him very excitedly, took a small black bag from the bodyguard, and stuffed it into his hand arbitrarily, and even refused subconsciously, but couldn't refuse at all...

He was shocked.

What the hell is this guy doing?
Does he know that we are brewing a feeling now, if we interrupt it like this, the feeling of shooting will disappear, okay?

How could this man do this!
He was a little angry at first.

but……

When a gust of wind blows through the corner of the small black plastic bag.

He froze.

That is……

what!
Wo Nima!
All bright red hundred-dollar bills.

and!

Weighed it a little...

At least 3 yuan, or even more!
His mind went blank.

At this moment, his heart was greatly shaken.

At that moment, he felt insulted by the capitalists.

but……

But he was not angry at all, and even a little excited, as if he had found the feeling of shooting!
but!

Damn!
Why am I full of energy?
Afterwards, he looked at the fat man who staggered to the side and continued to shake hands and continue to give out red envelopes.

He suddenly felt that this guy was cute again...

Like the naive and unlucky bear in the cartoon?
..............................

The upstart Zhang Genshui came and went quickly.

After distributing the red envelopes and saying hello to this group of comrades, he left again in a horseman.

After experiencing a "red envelope rain", the enthusiasm of the entire crew was significantly higher.

After receiving the red envelope, Feng Kai felt a little better.

Although the nouveau riche is a nouveau riche, he is quite good at being a man, and judging by his posture, he will not dictate what to do in the crew.

That's fine.

In the temporary office, enjoying the heating provided by the nouveau riche, Feng Kai was barely satisfied.

He finally took out the script of "Mine Bottom" copied by Zhou Yang from the drawer and read it.

Even though he looked down on Zhou Yang, as an assistant director, he still had to read the script in the end.

At least……

You have to put on a show, don't you?
The script is actually very simple and the format looks rather unprofessional.

Act One: "Murder in the Mine"

Role [-]: Tang Chaoyang, one of the protagonists, pretends to be relatives with his accomplices, brings people into small coal mines to work, and then kills the client in a heartless manner, and extorts money from the mine owner (played by absentee Chen Shuangbao.)
Role [-]: The second protagonist of Song Jinming, a friend who has no conscience, has a little kindness, (played by Zhao Zhen who is absent from work.)
The third role: Zhang Genbao, the victim (played by Zhong Facai who is absent from work.)
After briefly reading the first act of the script, Feng Kai threw the script aside.

To be honest, he is not at all interested in this kind of murderous, suspected crime script.

No depth, no meaning, and no artistry of any kind.

No future.

Although the heating is very comfortable.

But he still wanted to finish filming and leave early, never wanting to live this kind of hard life again.

He lit a cigarette and smoked quietly.

He missed the time in the big city and the days in other crews. At that time, he was so beautiful, unlike now, he was as suffocated as a grandson.

Just at this time……

There was a knock on the door in the office.

"Well, assistant director, are you free now?"

"what happened?"

"I would like to ask, what is this word? How should I shoot this paragraph?"

"..."

It was Zhong Facai, one of Zhou Yang's chosen actors, who pushed the door in.

Feng Kai tried his best to suppress the emotion of wanting to get angry and shake his face, and took over the script.

However, the facial muscles still twitched violently, and his face felt a little hot in an instant.

He felt insulted.

"This is a Tibetan word for hiding things. You don't need to know this word. It has nothing to do with your character."

"Oh, Deputy Director Feng, how should I act this part?"

"..."

Feng Kai looked at Zhong Facai who was standing there foolishly and seemed to be asking for advice seriously.

He was tempted to slam the script hard in his face.

Zhou Yang was looking for something!
Why don't you even know the words?

Illiteracy!
and!

Why do you still have an adverb in front of the director?
I need you to remind me that I'm an assistant director?
I don't know?

"This paragraph, you should..."

Feng Kai's heart was broken.

Deputy director!
These three words pierced Feng Kai's heart, and he felt insulted again.

but……

He was still patient and told him about the play silently.

Image, image, he must pay attention to image.

After finally finishing the lecture and dismissing this idiot and illiterate...

The knock on the door continued in the office.

"Director Feng, I want to enrich the script a little bit... the characters in it, um, Xiaohong seems a little monotonous. If possible, I hope to dig a little deeper. What do you think?"

"The script needs to be changed again?" Feng Kai looked up at Zhou Yang.

"It is to add a few shots, which will not affect the main line of shooting, nor will it affect the shooting process." Zhou Yang explained.

"Do you want to change it later?"

"No need, probably no need."

"Oh, ok, let's shoot now."

"Are you ready to shoot?" Zhou Yang was at a loss.

"If you don't shoot now, do you still have to wait until the Chinese New Year?"

"Director Feng, I actually want to..." Zhou Yang pondered for a while, and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Feng Kai in an instant!
"Shoot it for me! Take it now! Take it now, take it right away!" Feng Kai didn't hold back his emotions, but suddenly became angry, and his whole face seemed to be a little distorted.

Oh shit!

He really couldn't bear Zhou Yang's stupidity!
Don't piss and take a picture of yourself!
special!
You really think of yourself as a great director and screenwriter, you must strive for perfection!

"Uh... calm down..." Zhou Yang was taken aback.

"Director Zhou, that's not what I mean. What I mean is, I think Director Zhou's script is very in-depth and has a very artistic atmosphere. I think it should be filmed earlier... Sorry, I didn't scare you, did I? I was really in a hurry just now , I'm afraid that this artistic atmosphere will be dragged away..." Feng Kai quickly apologized after realizing his gaffe.

But his heart was overwhelmed again, he was almost nauseated by himself.

"..."
