Mr. Notorious [Entertainment]

"Ling Hao. Do you know?" Tan Feihang asked him when he got off the car.

"I know." Chi Ye said, "He always seems to like to make some off-the-wall films, including literary films and documentaries. He has won many awards in the world, and he was well-known for a while. Later, I heard that he went to Antarctica to film. What an Antarctic love story, it turned out to be a rare extreme weather, a big storm arrived at the filming area in a short time, the temperature dropped sharply, and even lost direction... Many members of the filming team did not come back. Ling Hao was lucky, only his lungs were frostbitten, He came back after saving his life. But after this time, he doesn’t seem to have any works. It’s been a few years, right?”

"I didn't expect Young Master Jing to invite him out of the mountain." Chi Ye said.

"It's not that I invited him out of the mountains. He went to Antarctica with a high budget, but because of his previous reputation, several investors in the circle invested in him, but he lost all his money. Many people died with the filming team... Afterwards, no investor dared to ask him to make a film again, and his life was very poor. This time I went to invite Fang Shuo, and Fang Shuo not only asked for money, but also had a condition that Ling Hao be the director."

"It's a good deal. An internationally renowned director, an Asian gold-medal screenwriter, and Chi Nian." Tan Feihang nodded, "It's enough to go to theaters."

"Yes, yes." Jingxi said angrily, "I now regret that I open my mouth and talk nonsense. Opening and closing my mouth, tens of millions are put in."

Before Chi Ye and his group arrived, the set actually started to move. The crew had already entered the set the day before, and the executive director arranged to set up the set. Around four o'clock in the morning, the shooting equipment was transported from the previous shooting location.Equipment, lighting, stage management, props, and scenery entered the arena first, and soon the entire scene was busy in an orderly manner.

At around six o'clock in the morning, the actors who finished their makeup and makeup entered the venue.

The notice of the day was handed over to Ling Hao. Ling Hao looked at it for a while, and subconsciously touched his beard, but it was empty, and his smooth chin was not used to it.

"There is no leading role in the morning?"

"Director Ling, you forgot. The leading role hasn't arrived yet." Although the executive director is not a newcomer and has been in Hengdian for several years, it is inevitable that he will be a little nervous when meeting a director like Ling Hao for the first time.

Ling Hao frowned: "I turned it on the day before yesterday. It's been three days, and the lead actor hasn't entered the stage yet? He doesn't have any professionalism. What's the matter? Tell the management that we need to change people."

The executive director choked for a moment: "Ling, Director Ling...that's not how this is done."

"Then what should we do?" Ling Hao had a bad temper and wanted to slam the executive director as soon as he raised his eyebrows.

"Come on, get rid of your bad temper." Fang Shuo followed behind, seeing Ling Hao's expression, he knew that he was going to scold, and lazily dissuaded him.

Ling Hao coughed: "You go to work first, go to work."

After the executive director hurriedly left, he turned to look at Fang Shuo: "Why haven't you left yet?"

"Changing the script until early in the morning, why don't you let me sleep?" Fang Shuo took out a pack of cigarettes and lit up, "I have a plane ticket back to City B in the afternoon, and I still have a few books on hand, and the people in the studio are waiting. "

"Okay." Ling Hao agreed, "...Give me a root?"

Fang Shuo glanced at him: "What are you dreaming about? The doctor said you can't smoke because of your illness."

Ling Hao is in his forties, a native of the Northeast, and he is not easy to get along with at first glance. I don't know why Fang Shuo here, with a look and a word, he can suppress his temper, and he has no opinions.

"It's an online drama, and the total shooting period is only 20 or [-] days. You said that you want to change people. There are so many people in the crew, and every day is money. Is the capitalist's money making you burn like this? I know you have artistic pursuits... ..." Fang Shuo smoked for a while and said, "The world is different now. You think this is still the film and television industry a few years ago."

"Okay, I remember."

"You're not in good health, it's not the main part of the show, so let the executive director Wang Botao watch it. I think the young man has good abilities and wants to get ahead, so you should take him as an apprentice."

"Okay. I got it... Fang Shuo, you agreed to write the script there because you want me to film. I heard that the boss of Menghan's business came to you. The condition you offered was that I would be the director. You are the screenwriter." Ling Hao asked hesitantly.

Fang Shuo was quiet for a long time, then laughed: "Mr. Ling, you think too little of yourself, and too high of me as a small screenwriter. Here is the script from Net University. I still have two hours to finish it." Let's go and help you change it."

While the two were talking, Wang Botao came over: "Director Ling, Teacher Fang, Boss Jing brought people over."

"Bring who?"

"Boss Jingxi brought another boss and the lead actor over." Wang Botao said, "The lead actor is called Chi Nian..."

"Oh." Fang Shuo said, "I know him. Many years ago, my teacher collaborated with Xingyang in a play. You probably don't remember it. It's called "Notorious", starring Chi Nian."

"How about it?"

"The outside world said that his acting skills are bad. I have seen a few movies, and they are not bad, just average. Maybe it is because of his bad reputation, not particularly professional, no one is willing to say good things, and there are many people who say he is bad, as time goes by The acting is really bad."

Ling Hao is the person who is most annoyed by the words "poor acting skills" and "disrespectful". Hearing Fang Shuo's words, he frowned: "I can only use him?"

"Only use him."

"No audition?"

"Not allowed to audition." Fang Shuo said affirmatively.

While the two were talking, three or four people from Jingxi's party had already walked in from outside the studio.

"The patron's father is too big, remember." Fang Shuo explained again worriedly.

After Jing Xi introduced Tan Feihang, he introduced to Ling Hao and Fang Shuo: "This is the lead actor this time, Chi Nian."

"Hello, Director Ling, and Teacher Fang."

"This is Chi Nian." Jingxi introduced him to Ling Hao after sending him there.

"Hello, Teacher Chi Nian." Fang Shuo nodded politely.

After waiting for a long time, Ling Hao didn't say anything, Chi Ye looked up, and Ling Hao was looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Director Ling?"

"Test play—" Ling Hao just opened his mouth to say two words, when Fang Shuo raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and a group of people looked at Fang Shuo in confusion.

Fang Shuo didn't change his face: "There is gray on the shoulders."

Ling Hao glared at Fang Shuo, then turned around and said, "There's no need for auditions." He lowered his head and flipped through today's notice, "Let's wait for the second scene first, and give Chi Nian a feel for it. I want to put on makeup."

Wangda is following the fast-moving consumer goods route, and the elements are all the most popular content, and this time is no exception. Even with the post-processing and polishing by the screenwriter Fang Shuo, the whole story cannot get rid of the strong bloody elements.

Modern urban setting.

The male lead's family was ruined since he was a child, and the police couldn't find the real culprit. For revenge, he tracked down the real culprit and lurked in City X.At the beginning of the story, there is a murder case, the murder method is almost similar to the death method of the hero's family, and the heroine is a witness.The hero decides to trace the truth from the heroine.

In the second scene, the male protagonist set a trap, so that the female protagonist can only go to his own bar to apply for a job.

When Chi Ye finished her makeup and came out, the heroine was ready. She put on a fresh and elegant makeup, wearing canvas shoes and a plush sweater, giving her the youthful appearance of a college student.Several group performers also sat in the bar.

He glanced back, a few people were huddled in front of the monitor at the corner, Fang Shuo was chatting with Tan Feihang.

Ling Hao came over with the script and asked, "Have you read the book?"

"I've watched some, I just put on makeup and studied the scene."

Ling Hao flipped through the book in his hand. It was thicker than the script in Chi Ye's hand. On one side was the script, and on the other side was the director's storyboard corresponding to the plot—it can be said that Ling Hao is a very serious person.

"Tell me about your understanding of this character." Ling Hao said, "Let's hurry up."

"The male protagonist Xu Yifeng's parents have both died since he was a child." Chi Ye thought for a while, "But in fact, he should have suffered a lot, withdrawn, vigilant, and matured far beyond his biological age. Generally speaking, this The expression of this character should be cold and tough, even expressionless. It may be a bit routine. I think he is a very kind person on the surface, even an interesting person, but he is very withdrawn on the inside. Later he gradually fell in love with The female lead, Gu Wanting, won't express her emotions too much." Chi Ye pointed to his face, "I'm considering using some micro-expressions to express his change."

Ling Hao couldn't say that he was particularly satisfied with this answer, but it was true that Chi Ye's time was limited, and he couldn't give a deeper disassembly.

He remembered the principle of not being able to audition.

The actor who played the role of the heroine was a newcomer under Menghan's banner, and she rarely saw big stars. When she saw Chi Ye approaching, she was still a little nervous, so she quickly said, "Teacher Chi Nian, please give me your advice."

The youthful and innocent temperament fits very well with the lead actress in the play.

The first scene of the second scene is quite simple, that is, Zhong Qing takes the flyer to the bar for an interview, and Xu Yifeng has the first contact with Gu Wanting.

Chi Nian took the time to go through the script twice with Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing was stumbling, and it was not until the fifth time that he managed to memorize the lines.

Ling Hao saw it, and didn't criticize it. In the end, he could only frown and nod: "Okay, then get ready and start. All units are in place. The second shot is the first."

Lighting, camera and sound engineer are all in place.

Zhong Qing still looked down at the script for a few minutes.

"Nervous?" Chi Ye's voice came from above her head.

Zhong Qing quickly put the script aside: "No, no."

At this time, Chi Ye's brows and eyes became gentle, just like Xu Yifeng he had just analyzed: "There is nothing to be nervous about, you just get the recruitment flyer from me and come over to find a job. If you still remember when you were in college It’s okay to feel when you’re working part-time.”

Zhong Qing didn't know that big-name celebrities were usually so easy-going, so she was taken aback.

"What's wrong?" Chi Ye asked.

"... Is Teacher Chi always so approachable?" Zhong Qing asked.

"That depends on who the target is." Chi Ye said, answering gently.

"Huh?" Zhong Qing reacted, "Is it because of me?"

"Because you're cute."

Chi Ye's gentle words made Zhong Qing's face turn red immediately, and she lowered her head awkwardly: "Teacher Chi is too good at talking."

At this time, the lights were ready, and outside the bar scene in the shed, it seemed that sunlight came in, hitting the two people right behind.Chi Ye seemed to be attracted by such a pure love, and touched the top of her head involuntarily.

"So don't be nervous." Chi Ye said.

"Well, no, not nervous." Zhong Qing blushed, not daring to look at Chi Ye again.
