Liang Ping came out soon with the camera crew leader and assistant director, and first told everyone that they could get off work today.
The crowd cheered as if they had seen the savior.
Liang Ping said with a smile: "Get off work early today. Let's go back and have a good rest. You should come here early tomorrow."
The staff seemed to have returned to a familiar field, “Ah, this is Director Liang, this is a normal crew.
So everyone left work happily.
Liang Ping also came to tell Liu Wei, "Let's go back today. Don't worry, nothing will happen to the crew."
Liu Wei bravely asked: "Director Liang, is our script almost ready?"
Director Liang smiled like a flower: "Yes, I'm telling you, I found someone who can save us. You go back and have a good rest, refresh yourself, and we will continue filming tomorrow!"
When Liu Wei was coaxed into the car, she still couldn't believe it - she didn't believe it at all.
So she got in the car and refused to drive. She first called Liang Tiannan and asked him to remotely exert his power as Director Liang's nephew.
Liu Wei: "Go and make some excuses. Ask about the situation of the script. See how Director Liang and the screenwriter have been getting along in the past two days. Is there any good news? Is there any bad news? Expenses will be reimbursed."
When Liang Tiannan heard this, he said: "I promise to complete the tasks assigned to me by the organization!"
It just so happened that he had something serious to report. He had already arrived in Tianjin, and all the people he had chosen had seen it. He sifted through it again, and was ready to go back with seven trophies to report the good news.
However, I am still a little unsure, so I plan to ask Director Liang again to inquire about the situation.
Tang Xi and Kong Zelan both said: "I think it's really disturbing that Director Liang looks so happy."
"Right." Liu Wei said, "If he is calm, I will feel more at ease. He is so happy, it looks fake."
Everyone believed that Director Liang was whitewashing the peace.
Liu Wei also received a call from Lu Lu in the car.
The theme of Lulu's meeting today is "Journey to the West". The content of the meeting is a friendly dispute. The meeting has been moved from the conference room to the restaurant. The next step may be a club. The meeting is not over yet.
So he hid in the car and called another big baby to explain the situation during the transfer.
Liu Wei quickly said that Director Liang had come to the rescue.
Liu Wei: "It didn't cause any quarrel or quarrel. It's pretty good."
Lu Lu: "Then don't worry, this guy Liang Ping is quite good at balancing. There are too many people in the crew who are arrogant, and you will definitely not be able to handle it. Next time you encounter something like this, if you see the signs are not good, just leave as soon as possible."
Don't stay there and let the fire burn you."
Liu Wei immediately learned her lesson and admitted her mistake. Next time something happens, she will definitely run out and report it to her superiors.
Lu Lu: "I guess you don't know yet. Liang Ping fired the screenwriter and hired a new one. This one may be better. It was introduced by Brother Lu. It is said that he is good at writing women's scenes and is very suitable for this movie. New
The script is probably already in the works. I got the contract back yesterday, so Liang Ping must have started calling people around. With the new script, you should be able to feel more relaxed."
Change the screenwriter? Change the script? After filming has started?
It’s not easy! It’s not easy at all!
Liu Wei felt as if a stone had fallen into his stomach, and he was instantly at a loss.
"Is it too risky to change the screenwriter and script now?" she asked.
Lu Lu noticed that she was uneasy and quickly assured her that this was normal and common.
Lu Lu: "Don't worry, it's normal to change the script and the screenwriting team. Almost every crew will change it before and after it starts filming."
Liu Wei: "???"
Lu Lu: "Sometimes the cooperation is not smooth. For example, the screenwriter hates the script being changed again and again, so he will agree on a number of adaptations. If the number is exceeded, he will leave directly. There are also cases where the actor or director is changed, and the new person is not satisfied with the old script, then
We have to change the screenwriter and then revise it. Our situation is not going well. The script is not well adjusted now. It is normal to change the script and re-adjust it. When making a movie, how can there be no problems?"
Liu Wei understood that the script, actors, and director may all not work well together. Once problems arise, the crew may change people. If the script cannot be changed, the actors or directors will be changed; if the director cannot be changed, the script cannot be changed.
If it changes, the actor will be replaced; if the actor cannot move, the director or the script will be replaced.
In "The Legend of King Wu", he was the leading actor, and the director couldn't touch him, so the script was changed again and again.
The same is true now for "Woof Woof Woof". She couldn't change it, and the director couldn't change it, so she continued to change the script.
After she returned home, Lu Beijing also called her.
Lu Beijing also called Lu Lu specifically to comfort her after answering her call.
Lu Beijing: "Screenwriter Qiao is a very good screenwriter. However, her works are all dramas, so I can't show them to you now. She is very good at describing distinctive female characters, and I think she will be a good fit for you."
Liu Wei: "Really? I'm not very confident."
This time "Woof Woof Woof" really hit her hard. It made her realize that she was useless after leaving Lu Beijing's crew. Before, she had only received compliments in his crew, which made her feel quite inflated.
Now I go out alone to pick a crew, and I am immediately brought back to my original shape.
Lu Beijing understands her current predicament very well, because he has experienced this. Her current lack of confidence has only been experienced by him more than her, not less.
It’s also difficult to resolve this kind of thing by relying on other people’s words.
He could only help her in other ways.
That would be lying to her.
Liu Wei heard Lu Beijing say in an incredible tone: "Why don't you have confidence? It's the screenwriter's problem that the script is not good, not your problem."
Liu Wei: "Ah? Is that so? But I can't act..."
Lu Beijing said firmly: "If you can't act out the script, it's because the script is written too badly."
Liu Wei: "???"
——No, is this the right way to understand it?
Lu Beijing started to talk nonsense: "Didn't you like it very much when you read the original work? You also feel very good about it."
Liu Wei: "Yes, I really like the original story."
Lu Beijing: "If the script can really convey the connotation of the original work, then why don't you resonate with the script?"
Liu Wei: "Uh..."
Seems to make sense?
Lu Beijing said categorically: "So the script is not good, not you. If you were not good, how could "The Legend of King Wu" and "Summer" be successful? Why didn't anything happen when you acted in these two movies? You couldn't understand the script.
Something?"
Liu Wei was almost convinced by the fallacy.
She immediately said: "Because I can't act with the person who plays the male lead."
Lu Beijing was in a dilemma, so he had to continue to talk nonsense: "Is it because you can't act with them, or they can't act with you?"
Liu Wei: "Compared with them, I am the mature actor. I should lead them in acting. This is my responsibility."
Lu Beijing: "Don't talk nonsense, do you still take responsibility? Let me tell you, in front of the camera, no one can take responsibility for other people's acting skills. There are countless people who perform poorly in the same frame. Can you say that the other actors in the same frame did not cooperate well?
Because of that?”
That certainly can't be the case.
Liu Wei was brainwashed by Lu Beijing. From "I am responsible for the failure of "Woof Woof" to "I am the best, it is the script and inexperienced actors that hold me back." It only took half a minute to change his mind.
Hour.
When she put down the slightly hot phone, she was still a little confused.
——It turns out that she is so outstanding in Lu Beijing’s eyes!
——Is this the confidence of an actor?
It’s not me who’s wrong, it’s the world!
She stared at the mirror while washing her face, and for a moment she was afraid to look directly at herself in the mirror.
It would be a bit too arrogant to really think what Brother Lu said. It might be enough to listen to what Brother Lu said in half.
Brother Lu must have used the filter of acquaintance to see how good she is.
However, she was too arrogant and wanted to blame the success or failure of the entire movie on herself. This really ignored the role of other people in the crew.
At best, she is an actor and a tool for expression.
After completing self-construction, Liu Wei let go of more than 80% of the burdens in her heart and fell asleep easily for the first time since filming started.
I woke up on time at 5:30 the next morning. I danced, took a shower, went downstairs to drink water and eat a nutritious meal.
Then I turn on my mobile phone at the breakfast table and look at today’s work tasks posted in the WeChat group.
Arrive at the set at ten o'clock in the morning, put on makeup, have a shooting meeting, start shooting at eleven o'clock, have lunch at one o'clock, and continue shooting at two-thirty.
Just like before, the scheduled get off work time is 7:30, but this can basically be ignored. What needs to be paid attention to is the shooting tasks to be completed today.
The shooting task given by Director Liang was four acts, and the four acts were divided into two groups for shooting.
Both the male and female stand-ins went to the second group, and Liu Wei herself was in the first group.
The second team was led by the original director of the second team, and they filmed scenes of farmhouse entertainment.
Liu Wei was shocked when he saw this arrangement!
The farmhouse is the content of the third segment, should we start filming now?
And it was actually the stand-in who went to shoot first.
She quickly looked at the content of her photo: it was also a farmhouse.
And it was shot with male stand-in No. 2.
Who is the second male stuntman?
Liu Wei stared at the name but didn't recognize it until he arrived at the scene.
He is one of the three Takeshis.
How did you recognize it?
Because it's black.
Among the five male protagonist candidates, only the guy from the swimming team has fair skin, and the other four are all very dark-skinned.
The military art guy was the number one stand-in, and he went to the second set with the female stand-in.
The substitute No. 2 in front of her was not the Wei Fan she had seen before.
She looked at the shooting schedule again, and this guy's name was Wang Gongliang.
This was the first time the two met and talked to each other.
Liu Wei was more shy about socializing, and Wang Gongliang didn't seem to be a social person. They both put on makeup and stood together to listen to Director Liang's lecture. The first sentence they said was only two words.
Liu Wei: "Hello."
Wang Gongliang: "Hello."
Simple and efficient.
The filming location was in a community under construction, and it was difficult for Director Liang to find such a peaceful and quiet place to film.
The greening of the community has been done in advance, with trees and wild grasses growing thickly. There are roads in some places and no roads in some places. There are no high-rise buildings in the distance, and there are no people nearby.
It still has the aura of a farmhouse with no one around.
The filming location was on a road predetermined by the community.
Of course, there are no roads now, it's all dirt.
However, the landscape trees on the roadside have been planted and are quite beautiful. There is also a small sign introducing the landscape trees next to it.
Liu Wei was led here to stand and wait for the staff to pull out wires, set up lights, lay tracks, etc. She was idle and bored, bending down to see what kind of tree was written on the small sign.
The small sign says: Ornamental Mango.
Liu Wei: "..."
The landscape tree in the community turns out to be a mango. Do you have any ideas? Can you pick and eat the fruit when it is ripe?
The aircraft seat was quickly set up.
Director Liang gave full play to the subjective initiative of the camera crew leader.
Director Liang: "Go and look at the camera position and find a good starting point for the picture. I need them to walk from here to there, about ten meters, so it looks good. Then the picture cannot be spaced out, so you need to find the angle."
.”
This is obviously a problem. Because the landscape trees in the residential area will definitely not be planted with a mango grove, it will only be one row, and the gap will be large.
In the original novel, the instructor did not become a domineering president, but he still had an agricultural kingdom. He contracted orchards and directly contracted two hills.
Question: How to take a photo of a row of mango trees into a large area?
The leader of the camera team carried the machine and kept looking for angles, and the assistant who helped him pull the string asked questions from his soul.
"Can't you add it later?"
Later in the movie, was it difficult to turn a row of trees into trees on a hill?
Assistant: "Is Director Liang trying to trick you?"
Camera crew leader: "It seems like you can do it, right?"
