Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 17 Assistant Director
"Classmate, you don't seem to be from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy?"

The afternoon class ended quickly.

At this time.

A middle-aged man with glasses and a beard came up to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng was not too embarrassed and said, "I am from the acting department. I don't have classes in the acting department this afternoon, so I want to come to the directing department to take classes."

“Want to learn directing?”

"A little."

“But directing has to learn much more than acting.”

“I think directing is easier than acting.”

"Oh, tell me."

The middle-aged man pointed to the front and said, "Let's sit over there."

The two walked to the stone table in front. Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Although it seems that being a director has to learn more than acting and is more professional, you have to learn not only acting, but also camera language, literature, music, art, and even editing. However, you don't necessarily have to reach the highest level in all of these. It's enough to have a certain aesthetic sense. The most important thing is that the director can call out "Cut", which I like very much."

"Hahaha……"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You just wanted this sound of card."

"Otherwise, if I don't say cut, people won't know I'm the director."

"alright, you win."

However, Chen Cheng spread his hands and said, "Just kidding. In fact, I think that directors have a greater chance than actors in the future."

“How come you see?”

"Just like now. The Hong Kong film and television industry has fallen into recession, the mainland economy is slowly rising, and a new era is coming. Each era has its own symbols and entertainment methods. I think the future will be dominated by domestic entertainment."

"The world of domestic entertainment... Haha, your point of view is quite novel."

“So, you want to be a director in the future?”

Chen Cheng shook his head: "It may not be the director. After all, the director's words may not always work, right?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed out loud: "It seems that you are quite ambitious."

"I'm just talking casually. It's not against the law to brag anyway."

“It’s definitely not against the law.”

The middle-aged man gave Chen Cheng a thumbs up and said, "Chen Cheng, nice to meet you. My last name is Yu, my given name is Ming, and I have directed several TV series before."

"Yu Ming?"

Chen Cheng felt like he had heard this name somewhere before.

But in a flash, he remembered: "The Divine Condor, Director Yu?"

"No, Director Yu, how do you know my name?"

It's normal that Yu Dao is now in Nortel.

Because it was reported a few days ago that Yu Ming would come to Beijing Film Academy for an audition.

But Yu Ming knew him, which made Chen Cheng very strange.

"Director Li said that you are the best script supervisor he has ever seen."

side said.

Yu Ming also took out a few chapters of printed documents: "Is this what you wrote in the script notebook, and some storyboards?"

"Yes."

"You are so bold that you even wrote about what Director Li did not do well in the filming."

"I didn't tell Director Li in person. I just gave my own evaluation. Besides, I'm just a small script supervisor. Director Li wouldn't want to ban me after seeing this."

"Banned..."

Yu Ming pouted: "What do you think of the circle? Who has the ability to ban people at will? Besides, do you think Director Li is like this?"

"I can rest assured that."

After the filming of Wang Zhaojun was completed, Chen Cheng originally wanted to take the script book back with him.

However, the crew stipulated that the script book belongs to the script and cannot be taken back.

Chen Cheng was a little depressed.

What worried him more was that he was afraid that the complaints he wrote in his notebook would be seen by others.

Now it seems that there is no need to worry.

"How about it, are you interested in joining us, the Divine Condor?"

"I don't really want to film for the time being."

"Be my assistant, I mean."

"Assistant director?...You think so highly of me."

"Hahaha...what, you don't want to do it?"

"Director Yu, I've only been a script supervisor. Besides, I majored in acting. Do you want one too?"

"Let's go. There's a lot to do on the crew. You'll be busy in the future."

Yu Ming stood up and Chen Cheng quickly followed.

……

Beijing Film Academy, girls’ dormitory of the Department of Performance.

Yuan Shanshan washed her hair early in the morning and asked Yang Mi while washing: "Mi Mi, the audition will be tomorrow, are you sure you want to try out for Guo Xiang?"

Yang Mi read the four original copies of The Return of the Condor Heroes that she had bought two days ago, and she didn't stop until Yuan Shanshan shouted several times: "I think what Chen Cheng said makes sense. At my current age, I am more suitable to play Guo Xiang."

"You really listen to Chen Cheng."

"Not really, but mainly because what he said makes sense. What about you? Are you still planning to play Little Dragon Girl?"

"That is."

"Then you have no chance. A lot of big stars are chasing after Little Dragon Girl. I heard that Jiang Qingqing, Zhang Baizhi, and even Zhou Xin, who played Huang Rong a few years ago, are vying for Little Dragon Girl. In addition, our junior sister Liu Yifei from Class 02 is also a popular candidate."

"I also know there's no chance." "Then why did you report to Xiao Long Nu?"

"I'll just give it a try. It's not certain that other actors will be chosen anyway."

Then, Yuan Shanshan asked about his roommate Zhang Xiaofei: "Xiaofei, what about you? Didn't you sign up?"

"Reported."

"Which role did you apply for?"

"Li Mochou."

"You are the funny version of Li Mochou."

"Hahaha, maybe it's possible. After all, it has to be different from the previous versions. Maybe the director will be impressed by me and choose me."

"If you have an idea, I support you."

The three of them talked and laughed.

In fact.

All three of them knew that many students would not have a chance in this casting audition.

But as a student of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, it is impossible for me not to be moved by these roles.

and so.

Not just three people.

Almost the entire Beijing Film Academy was discussing the casting for The Return of the Condor Heroes.

even.

Some seniors who graduated from Beijing Film Academy a few years ago returned to Beijing Film Academy to inquire about the situation.

And before that Chen Cheng.

But he was assigned a task by Director Yu Ming.

That is to write biographies for all the characters in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

This really exhausted Chen Cheng.

You need to know the drama The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Not to mention the male and female protagonists, there are dozens of supporting roles alone.

There are hundreds of them with names and surnames.

To be honest, every one of them is extremely wonderful.

Therefore, even if you play a supporting role, as long as you perform well, you can still shine.

Fortunately, Chen Cheng types very quickly.

In addition, he has been watching The Return of the Condor Heroes since he was a child, and has read the original novel many times.

There is also a series of The Return of the Condor Heroes fan fiction.

Plus various versions of The Return of the Condor Heroes film and television dramas.

As well as the summaries of each character by countless netizens in previous lives.

Also.

Chen Cheng’s writing attribute is 70 points.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that I wrote dozens of short play scripts in my previous life.

Although 70 points of attributes are not very high, most people cannot match it.

So even if this task is indeed quite heavy.

But Chen Cheng was very good at writing.

This is not.

In two days, Chen Cheng had written more than 20 biographies.

At the same time.

At the same time, Chen Cheng's writing attribute increased from 70 points to 73 points.

"Chen Cheng, where is the biography?"

"Director Yu, I have already written the biographies of some of the main characters."

"Oh, the Quickshooter."

Chen Cheng sent the biography he had written to Yu Ming.

Yu Ming flipped it a few times.

Originally he just wanted to flip through it casually.

He asked Chen Cheng to write a biography, but in fact he didn't really want to assign a task to Chen Cheng.

He asked Chen Cheng to write a biography just to see what Chen Cheng's true level was.

did not expect.

This time.

Yu Ming became more and more addicted to this series of biographies of Chen Cheng.

inside.

In particular, the biography of Guo Xiang is the most brilliant.

"Chen Cheng, that's great. With your level, you can even publish a book."

"Director Yu praised it mainly because The Condor Heroes is so well-known. Many people have a good opinion of it."

"Your point of view is quite different. It has given me a lot of ideas. So... the casting for The Condor Heroes at Beijing Film Academy will begin tomorrow. You will participate in the casting together with teachers Liu Yi and Zhao Guangbin."

"Director Yu, can I participate in the casting?"

"Don't feel pressured. We are just letting you go through the first round of screening. Of course, you are a newcomer and you are young, so you should watch more and learn more from the two teachers."

"Ok."
