my time as a director

He still remembered that when Du Yang talked about Song Ge's situation once, even the business trip ticket was paid for by Song Ge himself, because the reimbursement process was too troublesome.

Even a ticket reimbursement is so troublesome, let alone a business involving hundreds of millions of dollars.

Wanda's internal complicated procedures have always been a headache for Song Ge, but this time he is not too worried, "Zhou Xingchi's reputation is worth [-] million yuan."

Li Qian didn't see it that way, and shook his head to remind, "The last time Wanda gave a large amount of money so happily, it was still spent on Jing Tian."

In a big company with many rules, it is so troublesome for the boss of the subordinate company to reimburse the air ticket. On the contrary, it is so happy to give an actress 5000 million to change roles, and there is no need to follow the procedure.

This is also where Song Ge is a little unhappy, but when he thinks about the people behind him, he can only bear it.

After chatting for a few words, Song Ge talked about Police Story 2013 again. The filming of Zodiac is finished and it is in post-production. Cheng Long is about to start preparing for Police Story. Let’s see if Li Qian has any actors he wants to arrange.

......

After seeing off Song Ge, Li Qian went back to the hotel room. Tong Liya had already finished her shower and was watching TV on the bed. It was The Legend of Zhen Huan. Although it was the second round of broadcast on satellite TV, the ratings were still not low. Phenomenal TV series.

Li Qian picked up a script and threw it at her, "I'll go to Jiangning University to shoot your part in two days, and I'm still watching TV there. We only have three days."

Tong Liya took the script, put it on her lap and casually flipped through two pages, and said with a smile, "Three days are enough, and there is nothing difficult about this role. The emotion is single, and there is no challenge at all."

As she said that, she got up from the bed and said a little puzzled, "Why did you let Master Xing play the role of Mr. Jin? I heard that he has a weird temper. How will you manage it on the set then?"

It is not uncommon in China that the actors on the set are stronger than the director, especially in the TV drama circle, each old drama has many ideas, high requirements, and deep qualifications, while most TV drama directors are more perfunctory, and they don’t have time to repeat NG, it’s almost enough up.

That's how Li Baotian's opera bully and Chen Daoming's drama bully came about.

But Li Qian didn't worry about this at all, "There's nothing to worry about. An actor like Zhou Xingchi with high talent and complicated experience doesn't need me to say anything at all, and as long as the character is a villain in the performance, I can do whatever he wants. No matter how you play it, no matter how you play it, it will not make the movie worse."

"But he's two rounds older than you, and this is a comedy. What if he thinks about not only his own role, but also other roles?"

Tong Liya was still a little worried, after all Li Qian was too young.

"There are so many contingencies. It's fine. If you don't want to read the script, go to bed early and study it during the day." Li Qian jumped up, threw himself on the big bed, pressed Tong Liya under him, and began to fumble with his hands.

.......

The crew was still filming according to the original rhythm. It took less than half a month to finish filming the outdoor scenes on the square, and then moved to Jiangning University to film Truman's memories of college life and first love.

There is a film and television post-production training school in the base, and the location used as a university is too shabby. On April 4, Li Qian brought the crew to Jiangning University.

There are mainly three scenes in the school. The first scene is during the rehearsal of the welcome party. Truman fell in love with his first girlfriend at first sight, but was interrupted by the actress arranged by the crew, who was later his wife.

The second scene is the dancing scene at the party, and the third scene is in the library.

The first two scenes were filmed for two days, because there were a lot of people, and if there were too many people, it would be troublesome, and there would always be various problems.

On the morning of the 1st, the crew came to the library of Jiangning University to continue filming.

For multi-camera shooting, the actors first stand in the positions of each group of cameras and adjust the next camera position.

For a long time, filming in China has been done with a single machine. When filming a conversation between two people, you have to first film what one person said, then what the other person said, and then edit them together.

But now the production crew is also abundant, and many production crews are able to shoot with multiple cameras. The coherence, overall coordination, and atmosphere are difficult to achieve with a single camera.

A typical scene is the dialogue between the three leading actors one step away, which is done in one go and can be called a classic.

There are only three scenes in today’s scene, and there is also a camera from the perspective of a surveillance camera. One of the voyeurs knows about it. If we first shoot the conversation between two people, and then shoot the surveillance angle, there may not be a direct three-camera shooting effect. good.

Both Tong Liya and Deng Chao faced the lines at the predetermined position, and the three cameramen adjusted the lens.

Li Qian was also talking about the play, "Brother Chao, this scene of striking up a conversation with your crush is okay, think about how you struck up a conversation with your first love back then, just don't be so coquettish, remember that Truman was a relatively simple and innocent little girl in college boy."

Why am I so angry?

Deng Chao slandered endlessly, and responded, "No problem."

Li Qian looked at Tong Liya again, "Then Yaya, although you know that you are being peeped, don't panic, you are equally enthusiastic, cheerful, and have a firm personality. Even if you are warned by the crew, you still want to tell Truman the truth. So don’t panic, just be a little nervous, don’t panic.”

It's not too difficult a rivalry scene. After some preparations, I will shoot first.

"Scene 24, one shot at a time!"

"start!"

On the monitor, Deng Chao sneakily peeked at Tong Liya who was wearing a long skirt and reading a book from behind the bookshelf.

"Hi."

Tong Liya heard the voice, stopped writing, lifted it up, looked at Deng Chao and smiled, "Hi."

Like many boys, Deng Chao began to chat awkwardly with a shy face.

"Crack!"

"Brother Chao, be simple." Li Qian reminded.

After all, he is in his 30s. He has a good expression on his face, but his eyes are not so easy to control. At this age, he has already bid farewell to innocence.

Moreover, her simplicity is not the same as the 30-year-old's simplicity. There will be a little immaturity in her simplicity.

I adjusted one eye many times, and it took two hours to find the feeling.

If the eyes are right, it will be much easier, and then shoot.

Pick up a conversation, have an awkward chat, and then introduce yourself.

"My name is Truman." Deng Chao said with some embarrassment and expectation.

"I know you." Tong Liya smiled, rolling her eyes around, wary of the cameras watching them all around.

"Truman, they won't let me talk to you."

"real"

Deng Chao was a little disappointed, "I understand, I am a dangerous person after all, girls should be more careful."

"Sorry Truman." Tong Liya looked around again without any trace.

After a brief moment of disappointment, Deng Chao mustered up the courage to ask again, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No, it's not because of that."

"Is that because of her? We are just friends." Deng Chao immediately explained that "she" was the girl who deliberately approached him.

"No, not because of that."

"Is that me or not your type?"
