Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 41 Return to Beijing Film Academy

"Can you just stop laughing?"

Director Yu frowned.

He did not adopt Chen Cheng's suggestion.

For this.

Chen Cheng didn't take it seriously.

He is just the deputy martial arts instructor and is only responsible for the martial arts scenes.

Chen Cheng is not responsible for other literary dramas.

However, Director Yu did not adopt Chen Cheng’s suggestion. But during the subsequent filming, Director Yu remembered Chen Cheng’s words.

"Xiao Ming, try not to laugh at that scene just now."

"Okay, good, keep it up."

"Yes, that's it. Smile less next time."

Although I didn’t understand what Chen Cheng meant when he told Huang Xiaoming not to laugh.

But as they were filming, Director Yu actually discovered that Huang Xiaoming was much more pleasing to the eye when he wasn't smiling than when he was smiling.

Feeling awkward, Director Yu told Huang Xiaoming not to laugh.

Don't say it yet.

After Huang Xiaoming stopped smiling, the filming of the second half of The Return of the Condor Heroes went much more smoothly.

At the same time.

Huang Xiaoming's performance as Yang Guo in the later period also got into the state, which made everyone applaud continuously.

This state also speeded up the entire shooting progress a lot.

The original shooting schedule was three months, but it only took two and a half months, and The Return of the Condor Heroes was officially completed.

of course.

In fact, two and a half months is relatively short.

After all, The Return of the Condor Heroes is a big production, and they want to strive for perfection in every aspect.

However, Zhang Jizhong has accumulated a lot of mature experience in filming Jin Yong's martial arts dramas over the years.

Although the plot of The Return of the Condor Heroes is huge, the entire filming was not just the responsibility of Director Yu.

Director Yu was more responsible for the scenes between the male and female protagonists.

The roles of some other supporting characters were directed by the executive director and assistant director of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

So you'll see.

In addition to Director Yu who is the chief director of The Return of the Condor Heroes, he also has seven or eight assistant directors.

All of this provides sufficient guarantee for speeding up the filming progress of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

……

"Everyone get ready, we'll be taking the final photos soon."

Same as booting up.

The conclusion of The Return of the Condor Heroes naturally requires a ceremony.

Producer Zhang brought a group of reporters to the crew again to do some publicity.

Next is the wrap-up photo.

This time Chen Cheng did not step aside.

Because early in the morning the on-site producer sent Chen Cheng a group photo location map of the final photo.

Chen Cheng's seat was in the second row.

Although not in the middle.

But in the second row, they are already considered the main production staff of the crew.

Next is the wrap-up banquet.

This is different from the time when Chen Cheng was sitting in the corner behind the scenes during the filming of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

This time.

Chen Cheng was seated at table 5.

As for the tables in front.

The first table was occupied by producer Zhang, director Yu, the supervisor, the producer... and the male and female protagonists.

The second and third tables are other important roles.

The fourth table is for the executive director, assistant director, production director, photographer, and heads of various departments.

The fifth table, which was Chen Cheng's table, was occupied by the second-in-command of each department.

The rest are other role actors, group leaders, and assistant directors.

Others are staff members from various departments, such as makeup artists, prop masters, set designers, photographers, art directors, external producers, on-site producers, life producers, coordinators, finance... and so on.

Finally, there are the roles I have previously held, such as production manager, stage manager, etc.

Chen Cheng sat at the fifth table, which meant he was neither the focus of attention nor an unknown person. After symbolically toasting several important leaders, Chen Cheng went to Xiao Wu's table and chatted with them.

Seeing Chen Cheng coming, Xiao Wu said happily: "My great martial arts instructor, you are not at this table."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, you don't welcome me."

Others spoke up for Xiao Wu: "Welcome, you are so welcome. We are so honored to have the martial arts master come to our table."

Chen Cheng poured wine for everyone and said, "The filming of this play has been completed. There is no question of whether there will be martial arts instructors or not. We will all be good brothers in the future. I just don't know if we will have the chance to meet again. Come, let's have a drink."

"Have a drink."

These words made everyone pick up their glasses and drink them all.

Chen Cheng not only gave them hope.

What made them like Chen Cheng even more was that he was not pretentious. Even after being promoted to deputy martial arts instructor, he still mingled with them and was very approachable.

……

The next day.

Chen Cheng packed his luggage and prepared to leave the crew.

However, before leaving, Chen Cheng went to Sun Mengfei's office first.

Because there are still some matters to deal with in the later stage of The Return of the Condor Heroes, Sun Mengfei cannot leave for the time being.

Seeing Chen Cheng coming, Director Sun said enviously, "You are lucky, you can go back after the crew finishes filming. I still have to deal with post-production, and Director Yu said there are a few more shots to be added. How about it, what are your plans when you go back?"

"I'll go back to Beijing Film Academy for now, and we'll talk about the rest later."

"It's good to go back to Beijing Film Academy. After all, you are still a student. However, if you have the chance, you still need to learn more about directing."

"Yes, Master."

"Okay, go ahead. I won't see you off... What, what did you call me just now?"

Sun Mengfei thought he had heard it wrong.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Master, haven't you always wanted to take me as your apprentice?"

"Ahem...this..."

Sun Mengfei blushed and said, "Who told you that?"

"Since you don't want to take me as your disciple, forget it."

"Hey, come back, little brat."

Seeing Chen Cheng about to leave, Sun Mengfei quickly called out to him, "You are thoughtful."

Looking at Chen Cheng carefully.

Sun Mengfei was filled with emotion for a moment.

Before this, Sun Mengfei did plan to take Chen Cheng as his apprentice.

but.

After seeing the talent Chen Cheng later displayed, especially when he was recognized by Mr. Jin, Sun Mengfei became a little hesitant again.

Sun Mengfei absolutely believes that Chen Cheng’s future achievements will be unimaginable.

Although he is a martial arts instructor, to be honest, he is not a particularly famous martial arts instructor.

If I really want to accept Chen Cheng as my apprentice, I am afraid that it will hinder Chen Cheng's future.

but.

When Sun Mengfei saw Chen Cheng calling him "Master" with great sincerity, he felt tears welling up in his eyes and his speech became a little unclear.

"Chen Cheng, sit down."

"Thank you, Master."

Chen Cheng served tea to Sun Mengfei.

Seeing Sun Mengfei take a sip, Chen Cheng said, "Congratulations, Master, for accepting a good disciple."

"Thank you... Hey, you are bragging about yourself."

"Hahaha, Master, do you have any red envelopes?"

"What……"

Sun Mengfei almost choked.

"Master, you really don't know the rules. You just accepted such a great disciple, shouldn't you give him a red envelope?"

"I……"

Sun Mengfei was amused by Chen Cheng: "Get lost, where is the red envelope? Let me tell you, when I became his disciple, I had to work for three years at his house. I cooked for him, farmed for him, and even carried manure for him. But you are so good, I just drank a cup of tea from you, and you asked me for a red envelope. Believe it or not, I will clean up the mess and kick you out."

Sun Mengfei said this, but he still took out a red envelope from the drawer: "I also admire you, okay, here you go."

"Master, it's so big. Is this specially prepared for me?"

"You wish. The red envelope the crew gave me after the filming was completed, you get it for free today."

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."

Without saying anything else, Chen Cheng stuffed it directly into his pocket.
