The film emperor ruled all kinds of dissatisfaction

At 6:[-] in the morning, Xu Dong got up on time, washed in a hurry, and knocked on Wan Chen's door.

"Brother Chen, wake up."

"Get up!" Wang Chen jumped up from the bed as soon as he heard the sound.

Yesterday, the shooting of the first scene in the group was delayed due to an accident. If he was late again today and made trouble, he would completely give up his future.

After washing up in a hurry, Wang Chen sent Xu Dong to help him get breakfast, and he took the lead in going to the service room to change clothes and make up.

Period dramas are troublesome at this point, and the whole modeling is very time-consuming.

When Wang Chen himself was a director, he filmed two costume dramas in total. He stared at the makeup until he got big, and finally vowed never to accept costume dramas again...

But if it was him who played the role, he had no objection.

Anyway, it's other people who are in trouble, he just needs to deal with the characters well.

The script has already been memorized by heart, and some acting basics learned in high school are still mysteriously hidden in Wang Chen's memory.

With ten years of directing experience, he is no stranger to acting. He is not too worried about the shot of a simple character.

It was already 8:[-] after finishing the whole look. Wang Chen poured down a large cup of black coffee and pulled Xu Dong into the nanny's car energetically.

However, when he opened the door, he saw Bai Jiarun was already sitting in the car with an ipad.

"Sister Jiarun?" Wang Chen was a little surprised, "Didn't you fly back to Beijing today?"

Bai Jiarun raised his head and smiled, "I've changed my flight to an evening flight. I'll go to the scene with you first to see how the filming of today's scene is going."

Wang Chen understood in seconds, and replied jokingly: "Sister Jiarun is worried about me."

After finishing speaking, Wang Chen stepped into the car and sat down beside Bai Jiarun.

Xu Dong hurriedly closed the door for him outside, and took the initiative to sit in the co-pilot.

Bai Jiarun's eyes slowly slid across Wan Chen's face, and finally she smiled and said, "Yes, I hope there will be no more accidents today."

After finishing speaking, Bai Jiarun continued to read emails on the ipad.

Wang Chen sized her up from the corner of his eye for a while, only to feel that the other party's tone was less caring and more about watching the excitement.

Even so, Wang Chen was not angry.

No matter how much you explain to Bai Jiarun now, I'm afraid the other party won't take his words to heart.

Only when the matter is resolved and there is a satisfactory result, will he have the opportunity to earn the attention of his manager.

Half an hour's drive from the hotel to the studio.It was still yesterday's scene. When Wang Chen arrived, he found that the set-up of the scene had been completed, and the shooting track was basically laid, except for the lighting.

Bai Jiarun also said that he would take him to rest for a while, but Wang Chen waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll go there first, they're going to run out."

As a director, Wang Chen knows very well that although the lighting is adjusted before shooting, it is usually the camera crew's own field manager who is about the same height as the crew or the actors who come to help and stand for a while.However, due to the difference in skin color and body shape, when the actors actually came to start shooting, the pictures were more or less slightly off, and temporary adjustments were required, which greatly delayed the time.

If it wasn't for Wang Chen who didn't have the right to speak at the time, he would have liked to press every actor to stand in front of the camera with their heads pressed down.

Thinking of himself and others, Wang Chen has now become an actor, of course he doesn't want to be the kind of person he once hated.

He greeted the photographer and lighting engineer with a smile, and then came over to take his seat.

It didn't take long for Wang Chen to notice that Bai Jiarun followed him quietly.

As an agent, Bai Jiarun neither took the initiative to seek reconciliation with Lin Wuyin, nor did he go to the director to find out.It seems... Bai Jiarun is really not going to do anything to help him with this matter.

Wang Chen, who was still very relaxed, suddenly felt a little nervous.

——If things don't develop as he expected, not only will he lose the trust of the director, but he will also lose an agent who helped him.

At 9:[-], director Feng Xun put Lin Wuyin's shoulders on the shoulders, and the two walked into the set talking and laughing together.

Wang Chen took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress all negative emotions, and regained his spirits.

He greeted the two with a smile, "Morning Director Feng, good morning Teacher Lin."

Lin Wuyin remained silent as if he hadn't seen him, but Feng Xun, who has always been known for being strict, smiled at him, "Xiao Wan came early... remember what I told you yesterday Is it about our scene today."

"Of course I remember." Wang Chen took a volume of the script, pointed to the courtyard building not far away, and said, "You let me come out from inside, walk backwards, read the lines, and then bump into Teacher Lin, and I have to finish shooting in one shot. ,Right?"

Feng Xun nodded, "Not bad."

"Then let's go today..." Wang Chen asked tentatively.

Feng Xun laughed heartily, "It's still like this."

Still shooting like this? !

Wang Chen's hanging heart finally relaxed a little.

He hurriedly looked at Bai Jiarun's expression not far away, and sure enough, when he saw Feng Xun and Lin Wuyin coming together, Bai Jiarun was almost too lazy to pay attention to the development of the situation, and had been holding his mobile phone to deal with work non-stop.But Feng Xun's words drew all of Bai Jiarun's attention back to the scene.

Wang Chen even met Bai Jiarun's eyes for a moment, and he accurately captured the surprise in Bai Jiarun's eyes.

He couldn't help laughing.

However, Feng Xun changed the topic again, "Of course, what Mr. Lin Wuyin said yesterday made sense. It is indeed a bit difficult for you to shoot like this. This position is not easy to grasp. You have to cooperate well with the photography. .We pay attention to efficiency when shooting TV dramas. If you can’t pass it a few times, then we can only change the filming method.”

Wang Chen quickly understood what Feng Xun meant.

It was him and Lin Wuyin who each took a step back and compromised a bit, but finally handed over the opportunity to Wang Chen himself.

"Okay, Director Feng." Wang Chen handed the script to his assistant Xu Dong, showing a slightly shy but confident smile, "I will work hard to achieve the effect you want."

Feng Xun didn't speak any more, reached out and patted Wan Chen's shoulder, turned around and went to the front of the monitor.

The director of photography, Meng Di, had been waiting there a long time ago. With a cigar in his mouth, he crossed his legs and snapped his fingers at Feng Xun, "Why has it been so long, that old man Lin Wuyin is difficult to deal with?"

"You have to show some face." Feng Xun sighed, sat down, and put on the monitor earphones.

However, he didn't rush to start, but pointed to Wan Chen in the screen and asked, "I saw him standing there just now, did you call him to take his place?"

"No." Meng Di smiled, "How dare I instruct the current actor ancestor, he came here by himself, this kid is a bit discerning, not bad."

Feng Xun gave a "tsk", "It's not bad, but I can't see it now, it's still early... Okay, stop talking nonsense, call your apprentice, let's go through the show again."

"Got it."

After a while, Feng Xun's voice sounded from the intercom.

"Come on, take the machine and try it out."

The executive director then shouted: "Take the camera to test the play, start!"

With a sound of start, the monitor screen freezes at the bedroom door of the small courtyard. The soft morning sunlight fills the screen, and the lacquered red carved door is rich in color.

In the next second, Wang Chen, who was dressed as a boy, ran out of the bedroom with a smile. He jumped down the steps in two steps in three steps. Then, the actor who played the long follower came out, bowed and shouted, "Master!" ".

At the same time, the camera began to slide backwards along the track, and Wang Chen also tacitly kept the same speed as the movement of the camera.

He turned around and backed away with his back to the door, Chong Changsui smiled nonchalantly: "How is it? I'm right, that old teacher, with a lump of elm, is so stupid that he wants to force me to go Studying? It’s like fooling me when I fool him!”

After Wang Chen finished speaking this line, he just stood at the edge of the screen, and the camera stopped at the same time as him.

He hit Lin Wuyin's chest accurately, paused for a moment, and turned his head immediately.

At this second, the camera quickly moved forward, and Wang Chen, who was originally at the far left of the screen, immediately returned to the far right of the screen due to the shift of the camera position.At the same time, Lin Wuyin also appeared on the screen.

The father stared at his son indifferently, with a serious expression, hiding his anger.

"Whose father are you going to be?"

"Father? Why are you back?"

"If I don't come back again, will you lose your eyes completely?!"

The camera moves again, slowly moving the fixed two people towards the center of the frame, while zooming out.

At this time, Wang Chen should take a step back and distance himself from his father.However, this step is very difficult to grasp. If he retreats far, he will leave the screen. This one is directly invalidated. If he retreats too close, he cannot show the son's fear of his father, which is meaningless.

Feng Xun stared at the monitor, knowing that this is a very challenging point for the actors. The distant scene will be shot directly on the ground, so there is no way to put horse marks on the actors on the ground, only the actors' camera sense.Even experienced veteran actors often need to go through the scene several times to find the right feeling and get it right in one step during the actual shooting.

He has subconsciously raised the walkie-talkie, ready to call the card at any time.

However, Wang Chen took a step back neatly, and landed on the edge of the screen, exactly where Feng Xun wanted.

"Father...hehe, you misunderstood..." Wang Chen spoke his lines fluently without any pause.

As a father, Lin Wuyin no longer had the heart to listen to his son's judgment, so he picked up a broom standing in the corner, lifted it up and swiped at Wang Chen.

"Card!"

Feng Xun suppressed the surprise in his heart, picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted angrily.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, he quickly took two deep breaths to restrain the excitement of defeating others, stood up from the director's chair, walked around the monitor and walked into the venue.

"Not bad, Xiao Wan, the basic skills are very solid!"

Wang Chen turned his head when he heard the voice, but saw Feng Xun walking towards him and Lin Wuyin with an unconcealable smile on his face, and standing not far away, the agent who witnessed the whole process, also because of the director Visibly relieved by the improvement in attitude.

Feng Xun approached, and immediately embraced Wang Chen's shoulders like two brothers, and exerted a lot of force, as if to vent some emotions.

The director's enthusiasm was in stark contrast to yesterday's indifference. Wang Chen couldn't help feeling a little funny. It turned out that from an actor's point of view, things that should be taken for granted were so interesting.

——He was not surprised by the current result at all.

In fact, in the crew, the relationship between the director and the actors has always been in a delicate confrontation.Every actor hopes to appear on the screen in the best form. However, the director never cares whether a certain actor's performance is wonderful, he only cares about the harmony and art of the whole picture.

Therefore, for the sake of visual effects, many directors even deliberately make actors look ugly in front of the camera in order to achieve the most natural picture.

It's the same thing this time.

From an actor's point of view, whether this shot is shot like this only determines whether Wan Chen will show his face in front of the audience, so Lin Wuyin will suppress it, and Bai Jiarun, as a manager, will also be anxious.

But from the director's point of view, the shooting of the camera is only related to whether the plot can be presented with the most intense effect. What Feng Xun cares about is not whether Lin Wuyin will be better than Wan Chen if he appears for a few more seconds, what he cares about is Own scheduling of the entire screen.

Undoubtedly, Feng Xun will not sacrifice the pros and cons of his works for the sake of the actor's grievances.

So the crux of the problem is not at all how deep the friendship between Feng Xun and Lin Wuyin is, but how well he himself can perform in front of the camera.

"Okay, if there is no problem, let's go formally, Xiao Wan, and the mood can be a little higher when speaking the lines."

"Understood, director." Wang Chen said very relaxedly, even Lin Wuyin couldn't help but look at him more.

But he didn't want to, Wang Chen immediately caught this look, and gave Lin Wuyin a smile that was neither humble nor overbearing, "Why, does Teacher Lin have any advice?"

"……No."

Lin Wuyin didn't expect Wan Chen's basic skills to be so powerful.This kind of difficult positioning problem, he was able to pass it in one go.

Feng Xun communicated with the photographer for a few more words, and then returned to the monitor, ready for the official shooting.

At first, I suspected that it was just Wan Chen's luck, but in the next two consecutive shoots, Wan Chen's performance was the same as that of the audition scene, and he cooperated with the camera position just right.This made the originally difficult shots pass smoothly after only two shots.

"Card!" Feng Xun walked out of the monitor clapping again, "Xiao Wan is really good, let's go to rest, we are going to take a picture."

Wang Chen is not proud either, not to mention that these skills are really just basic skills for an actor. Just because he has been a director for ten years, his grasp of camera scenes is much higher than that of ordinary actors.It's professional instinct.

He just smiled at Feng Xun, then turned to look for Bai Jiarun.

With the affirmation of the director, Lin Wuyin has already died down, and now it is a really good time to explain to Bai Jiarun why he chose to "sit and wait for death".

However, when he walked out of the venue, he found that Bai Jiarun, who had been standing not far away to watch, had disappeared.
