Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 10 Something that shouldn't have appeared on the set
Host: Chen Cheng.

Physique: 72+5
Writing: 70
Fine Arts: 40
Photography: 30+0.7
Acting: 65+0.6
Director: 35+0.2
Skills: Energetic, double stamina, elementary swordsmanship, memory +1, expert horse rider, proficient with equipment.

I looked at my system panel properties.

The highest attribute is still physique.

The writing and art haven’t changed.

Photography, acting, directing... although Chen Cheng did not participate much in these three categories.

But after staying on the set for a long time, my attribute points still increased a little, but not much.

This may take practice.

It’s about skills.

However, Chen Cheng discovered that he had gained an additional skill: [Expert Horseback Rider] and [Equipment Proficiency].

[Horse Riding Expert] is relatively easy to understand. This is a skill Chen Cheng acquired after riding a horse.

Maybe it can’t be called a skill, it’s more like a certification mark.

It's just that the name is a bit evil. When Chen Cheng saw this skill, he thought of some things he shouldn't think of.

Chen Cheng was a little confused about the skill of Equipment Mastery.

Could it be that just by reading a book, he mastered the use and maintenance of various instruments?
But it's just a thought.

A series of equipment usage guides and maintenance methods flashed through Chen Cheng's mind.

For testing.

Chen Cheng even went to the set, dismantled a piece of equipment, and then completely reassembled it, only to find that there was no problem.

This made Chen Cheng happy.

With so many skills, Chen Cheng has become more confident in his upcoming work as a script supervisor.

……

"Young people nowadays are too unprofessional. They just say they won't do anything if they say they won't do it."

"Yeah, that script supervisor only worked for a month, then packed up and left. If other people hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten him up."

"Forget it. The job of a script supervisor isn't that advanced and it won't affect us too much. By the way, didn't Producer Liu recommend a script supervisor to us?"

"Yes, he should come today."

"That's good."

set.

Work has not started yet.

Director Li was chatting with the assistant director.

“Nowadays, young people are becoming less and less understanding.”

"That's right. Forget about that guy. And Chen Cheng, he's really out of his mind. He actually rejected your olive branch, Director Li. Could it be that he really likes to work on the spot?"

"You can't say that. He is a student of Beijing Film Academy."

"What's wrong with students from Beijing Film Academy? A lot of them can't get roles after graduation. Does this guy think that students from Beijing Film Academy can be the leading actors or actresses as soon as they graduate?"

"maybe."

Director Li didn't say much.

He sorted out the information.

Although the departure of a small script supervisor will not have much impact on the filming of the entire drama, it will still be somewhat troublesome during the handover.

At this time, Chen Cheng came to the director team to report to the director.

"Chen Cheng?"

See Chen Cheng.

Director Li and the assistant director were both surprised.

"I was just talking about you, I didn't expect you to actually come, what, have you figured it out?"

"???"

Chen Cheng was a little surprised.

The assistant director said, "Don't be embarrassed. Director Li thinks highly of you, otherwise he wouldn't have asked you to be a supporting actor. So, go report to the executive director first."

"Well... Director Li, Director Yang, I'm here to take notes."

"What?"

The two were stunned.

After a while, Assistant Director Yang finally said, "Are you the one recommended by Producer Liu to be the script writer?"

"Yes."

"Aren't you doing field work?"

"I was doing field work some time ago."

"You want to take notes now?"

The two men looked Chen Cheng up and down.

The more they looked, the less they understood.

Why didn't he just follow the actors in the group and act as a recorder?
But the opportunity had already been given, and Director Li hummed, "Okay, since you like being the on-site recorder so much, then be the on-site recorder. By the way, let's connect the materials."

"Director, we have connected."

"OK, we'll start working in a moment."

Not much was said.

Obviously, Director Li was actually unhappy.

Chen Cheng didn't say anything, but found the clapperboard himself and started preparing for filming.

……

Half an hour later, Chen Cheng clapped his hands and hit the clapperboard.

Yes.

The most obvious sign of a script supervisor, and also one of his jobs, is the clapperboard.

The 90th scene and the first shot of the day...the shooting officially began.

but.

In fact, the clapperboard not only records the number of scenes and shots, it also records the reel number, the director's name, the photographer's name, and the date.

As for why we have to write all this on the clapperboard, it is to avoid too much workload during post-editing.

Just imagine.

If there is no clapperboard to record, how do you find the picture you want among the massive amount of shots?
of course.

In addition to recording this information on the clapperboard, the script supervisor also has to record more information in the script notebook.

For example, for some important lines, should the shot be a long, medium shot, close shot, or even a close-up?
and so.

Although the job of a script supervisor is not difficult, it is rather tedious.

Sometimes I didn’t remember it and got scolded by the director or photographer.

This was also the reason why the previous script supervisor resigned.

However, this is not a difficult task for Chen Cheng, who has [Memory +1].

Although Chen Cheng arrived halfway, he had just taken over that day.

But after Chen Cheng got started, there were almost no problems.

This made Director Li and Assistant Director Li, who were somewhat unhappy with Chen Cheng, somewhat shocked by Chen Cheng's work ability.

"Chen Cheng, not bad. You got the hang of being a scene recorder on the first day."

Deputy Director Yang rarely praised Chen Cheng.

I have to say that Chen Cheng’s performance today was really good.

Generally speaking, someone with this ability needs to be at least a veteran script supervisor.

Chen Cheng said modestly: "It was mainly because I stayed in the crew when I was working on the set, so I had some understanding of the work of a script supervisor, which is why I was able to get started so quickly."

"I said so."

Deputy Director Yang was relieved.

But then, Chen Cheng said, "Director Li, there seems to be something wrong with this shot."

"how?"

"The male lead's hairstyle in the last scene didn't seem to be this one."

Because filming a movie is not something that can be finished in one go.

Oftentimes, a film takes one month, two months, or even half a year to complete.

Sometimes, even the scenes for the day in the play take several days to shoot.

then.

Due to time constraints, some shots often fail to make sense.

even.

In any film or TV series, if you look carefully, you will find a series of bloopers, big or small.

For example, what Chen Cheng said.

On the first day of shooting, there was a problem with the male lead’s hairstyle.

Because this episode wasn’t filmed in one day.

So the makeup artist couldn't quite remember the actor's hairstyle when he was acting.

As a result, when this was put into the film, he was exposed.

"You shouldn't have been there in the last game."

Director Li looked at Chen Cheng, not understanding why Chen Cheng brought up this issue.

"Director Li, the previous script writer wrote down the details. I took a look a few days ago. The hero's hairstyle should have been a little messy in this shot, but now it's very neatly combed."

"let me see."

Director Li couldn't believe it.

Because even though everything is recorded in the script notebook, there is just too much to record.

Not to mention that Chen Cheng had just taken over, even if he had been the reporter all along, he would still be unable to keep up with the massive amount of content.

With doubt, Director Li called up the previous footage.

It really is.

In the shot taken a few days ago, the male protagonist's hair was indeed messy because he fell from a tree.

"It's definitely the wrong hairstyle."

Director Li nodded, glanced at Chen Cheng, and said in his heart.

Is this guy such a monster?
But Chen Cheng hadn't finished speaking: "Not only that, there are also problems with several other actors. This actor wore jewelry before, but she didn't wear it properly today. Another actor held two knives, not just one. Another actor had a sword cut on his face, and had a scar on his face, but it's gone now..."

Facing the shots that were about to be shot today, Chen Cheng kept pointing out various bloopers.

Listening to Chen Cheng pointing out the problems in the footage from time to time, Director Li and Assistant Director Yang looked at each other. Director Li asked weakly, "Is there anything else?"

"This one……"

"Tell me if you find anything. It's your duty."

"Director Li, it seems that the camera just captured a Durex logo."

"what……"
