Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 61 More money is needed

"Ah, assistant director... I don't have that ability."

Chen Cheng refused with a smile.

It wasn't that he wanted to refuse.

Because this was originally a joke.

If you take it seriously, you'd be crazy.

But Chen Cheng didn't take it seriously.

An unexpected incident the next day made Chen Cheng really the assistant director.

The cause of this incident was still because of Hu Ge.

It’s the same as Li Guoli’s complaint about Hu Ge’s poor acting skills.

Since the establishment of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" crew, the outside world's expectations for it have not been good.

Originally, this was nothing.

Whether "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is good or not, we can only draw a conclusion after it starts airing.

But in the words of later generations, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a super IP.

In fact, he already had countless fans before "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was even aired.

But a pity.

The casting of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not so satisfactory to these fans.

Especially the male lead Hu Ge.

If it was just because The Legend of Sword and Fairy chose the newcomer Hu Ge, it wouldn't cause much trouble.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy hasn't even aired yet, and you dare to say that the newcomer can't play the role of Li Xiaoyao well.

But with the start of filming of The Legend of Sword and Fairy, a video of Hu Ge playing Li Xiaoyao on the set was leaked.

result.

Countless fans of The Legend of Sword and Fairy were completely excited when they saw Hu Ge's acting skills.

"Oh my god, I've been saying for a long time that the casting of The Legend of Sword and Fairy is wrong. There are so many big stars, but they chose a newcomer instead."

"If you say he's a newcomer, then he's a newcomer. It's okay if he has good acting skills, but what kind of guy is this? I, a minor actor, can act better than him."

"Such acting skills simply blinded my eyes."

"Brothers, strongly resist the Immortal Sword."

This momentum caused an extraordinary sensation with the participation of many fans of The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

That night.

Li Guoli called all the senior executives of the crew and held a meeting.

"Old Wu, have you found out who leaked the video?"

"I haven't found out yet, but judging from the direction the video was shot, it should have come from an extra."

"Extras..."

Li Guoli was depressed.

Most of the extras move from one location to another after each shot.

Today he is in your crew, and tomorrow he will be in another crew.

It is extremely difficult to find it.

Even if they find out, the crew generally won't make things too difficult for the extras.

"Old Wu, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again in the future when it comes to security management."

Staring at Wu Jingyuan, Li Guoli said.

"Next, let's discuss the specific solutions."

This matter can be big or small.

If it is not handled properly, it will not only affect the performance of the broadcast, but also the sales of copyrights.

"Director Li, how about asking Hu Ge to come out and clarify?"

"What is there to clarify? The more we try to clarify, the more confusing it will become."

Li Guoli shook his head.

Hu Ge is not popular now.

If he were a big star, probably not many people would have any objections.

Even if there are opinions, big stars have their own fan base, so it wouldn't lead to such one-sided evaluations as it is now.

"How about we send out the performance video of Hu Ge from a few days ago. We have also seen that Hu Ge has made great progress in these days."

Another assistant director, Liang Shengquan, suggested.

But Li Guoli still shook his head: "Although Hu Ge has made great progress these days, his performance can only be said to be barely acceptable. Moreover, we are just filming now, and the film has not been completed yet, so the viewing effect is very average." "Then let's edit a video of Hu Ge first, and then add some post-processing, and use it as a promotional trailer."

"That's fine."

Li Guoli nodded.

Then everyone started discussing which clip should be cut out.

"How about cutting out the part where Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger get married?"

"This part is not bad, but it is a test of the picture and acting skills. In addition, this part was shot by Hu Ge before, and the effect is average."

"Why don't you edit out the part where Li Xiaoyao goes to Mount Shu? I think this part is pretty good."

Everyone discussed from time to time.

At this time.

Li Guoli looked at Chen Cheng, who had been silent, and said, "Chen Cheng, what do you think?"

"This one……"

"What's this and that? I think you are usually quite smart, but did you fail at the critical moment?"

"Director Li, I think we could shoot a new segment."

The reason why Chen Cheng didn't speak before was that it was not his turn to speak yet.

Li Guoli asked in person, and if Chen Cheng still didn't speak, he would be stupid.

"Shoot a new segment. What's the plot of the new segment?"

"It's not a special plot. I suggest we shoot a new scene of Li Xiaoyao flying on a sword."

"Flying with a sword?"

As soon as these four words came out, Li Guoli's eyes lit up and he motioned Chen Cheng to continue.

"This crisis is also an opportunity. In addition to solving this crisis, our clip can also show the characteristics of our Xianxia. For most people, the characteristic of Xianjian is the word Xian. Flying on the sword is a good reflection of his Xian. Even some people who have never played the game will have a great desire to fly on the sword. Therefore, if we shoot such a clip and release it, I believe it will have a good effect."

"Yes, I knew you were smart."

Li Guoli said appreciatively: "In that case, you will be in charge of shooting this clip, and you will also be responsible for the post-production editing and pastoral effects."

"what……"

Chen Cheng was stunned.

Unexpectedly, the idea he came up with actually got him into trouble.

"What? You don't want to take the photo? Forget it. I'll ask Old Wu to take the photo."

Li Guoli looked at Wu Jingyuan.

Wu Jingyuan naturally knew that Li Guoli didn't really want him to take the photo.

Wu Jingyuan patted Chen Cheng's shoulder gently, leaned close to Chen Cheng's ear and said, "Director Li is giving you a chance, but you're still not using it? Let me tell you, the name of the executive director can be listed on this clip."

"Executive Director?"

"If you were to shoot this clip, you would be the executive director."

“I’ll take a picture…”

After being reminded by Wu Jingyuan, Chen Cheng said nothing and agreed directly.

but.

Before filming this clip, Chen Cheng also put forward a few conditions: "Director Li, can I put forward a few conditions?"

"explain."

"I need Hugo to cooperate with me throughout the process."

"OK, I'll ask the coordinator to adjust the filming schedule. You will be in charge of Hu Ge for the next two days. You can also tell me if you need any other actors."

"I don't need other actors for now. Hu Ge is enough. In addition, the art, makeup, editing, props... and other behind-the-scenes teams must also cooperate with me."

"That's no problem either."

"And one last one..."

"Can you tell me everything? Tell me half and hide the other half."

"Director Li, what I mean is, as you all know, I am only the assistant martial arts director. The duties of an assistant martial arts director are quite heavy. Although this clip may seem short, it takes a lot of time and energy to make it happen."

"What do you want to say?"

“It just might be tiring.”

"speak English."

"You have to pay more..."

Chen Cheng said seriously.
