I just want to copy books quietly

"I found it. The actors, including Mr. Feng, can come the day after tomorrow. I will definitely prepare for the work that needs to be done today. Even if I don't sleep tonight, I will ensure that the filming will start smoothly tomorrow morning."

Du Caige took a deep look at her: "Then the filming will start tomorrow."

"Machine No. [-] is OK!"

"The second machine is OK!"

"The lights are OK!"

"Props OK!"

"The actors are in place!"

Du Caige clapped his hands: "The 7th scene, one shot, the first time. The record is played, let's start!"

The small production crew immediately became silent, and each performed their duties in an orderly manner.

A semi-new van drove in, and before it stopped, Ouyang Liyan, the actor who played the role of Mr. Feng, couldn't wait to open the door and jumped down, shouting: "We're here, we're here!"

He quickly closed the car door, and ran forward with a slightly comical pace, and several actors who played porters got out of the car one after another.

Du Caige frowned slightly. He felt that the movements of these actors getting out of the car were not right.

But he didn't say "click", let's take a shot first.

The camera followed Ouyang Liyan's back.

Ouyang Liyan quickly boarded the earthen platform and shouted, "This is the depth of the flowers!"

"Okay, pass!" Du Caige shouted.

The whole crew breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Ouyang Liyan's performance just now was not without flaws, but Du Caige felt that if he wanted to finish filming in one day, he couldn't be too picky.

It's not sent to Cannes to participate in the competition, it's just to participate in the audition of a second-tier film company. Does it need to be so refined?

It's not that Du Caige's attitude towards art is hasty.

Rather, a person must know when to be serious and when to turn a blind eye.

People who don't know how to adapt are very suitable to be the protagonists in film and television works. This kind of people has a very unique charm, persistence, singleness, and purity.

But in real life, it is difficult to move an inch.

If Du Caige is now facing a movie that is about to be released and facing the audience, even if it is only a small investment of 100 million, he will be serious about 500 million. To be worthy of the movie ticket of the audience, he must also be worthy of the investment people.

But now, everyone comes to shoot a short film just like playing tickets. In fact, everyone has their own work, and they only have one or two days to shoot.

At this time, it would be too unreasonable to focus on excellence and dig out the details. There is no need to become a tyrant on the set here.

However, in the next filming process, Du Caige still raised a little bit of requirements.

But Zhang Guodong's acting skills are still a bit immature, and the other extras who play porters don't have much acting skills at all.

Du Caige could only adjust appropriately, reducing Zhang Guodong's frontal appearances and giving more shots to that Ouyang Liyan.

This saves time and cost as much as possible.

Mr. Feng Yuanzheng, the actor of Mr. Feng Yuanzheng in Chen Wuji's version of "The Depths of Flowers", is a well-known old actor who has left a very classic image in such film and television works as Don't Talk to Strangers, If You Are the One.

His performance as the lunatic Mr. Feng is naturally very good.

However, his personal image, after putting on make-up, is already a bit infiltrating.

And this Mr. Ouyang Liyan is a teacher of the Phantom Acting Department. He can be said to be quite handsome in person, so when he plays the crazy Mr. Feng, he has another taste, a sense of abruptness and contradiction, very interesting.

But after filming for a while, Du Caige found that the main camera Feng Hao could not capture the characteristics of Ouyang Liyan's performance well. After clicking twice, he simply kicked Feng Hao away and went to shoot the camera himself.

This Mr. Ouyang Liyan's performance is more inclined to stage performance, which is more exaggerated, and he has very little experience on the big screen.

As I said in the introduction before, he just ran through a few tricks.

But it is precisely this kind of exaggerated stage performance that Du Caige thinks it is very suitable to play Mr. Feng.

Mr. Feng is a madman.

Du Caige doesn't need him to play a madman in real life, a very realistic madman, or an atypical and very distinctive madman.

But I hope he will play the image of a lunatic in the public perception.

Crazy, dancing, coupled with his original handsome appearance, the strong sense of disobedience formed a huge visual conflict, which was really eye-catching.

Du Caige has a feeling that apart from other things, it is only Mr. Feng's performance, and the version he shot is likely to surpass Chen Wuji's version.

Du Caige became more and more excited as he filmed, and didn't even want to stop.

But everyone needs a break.

At one o'clock, the lunch box arrived.

Du Caige took a lunch box casually, squatted aside to eat, and organized his thoughts while eating, how to try to finish shooting all the shots that should be shot before dark.

The scene to be filmed in this scene, the final edit was only 6 minutes to 6 and a half minutes.

But in order to make a film of about 6 minutes, the material needed must be several times as much.

And Du Caige didn't want to overlap too much with Chen Wuji's version. Although no one in this world would know, he had to pass his own test first.

So it's not easy to shoot.

Ouyang Liyan came to Liu Zifei with a lunch box. "Xiao Liu!"

Liu Zifei was explaining something to Feng Hao, when she saw Ouyang Liyan, she immediately stood up and said hello: "Mr. Yang, you have worked hard today! Thank you so much, your praise is really great!"

"Haha, this little hard work is nothing. I should thank you for having such an interesting experience. Let's talk a little bit?"

"Okay."

After walking a few words to the side, Liu Zifei straightened her loose bangs.

Chapter 150 This director is not simple

Today's weather is actually not that good. It is gloomy and it seems that it will rain at any time. Although the weather forecast says that it will rain in the early morning, but the weather forecast, hehe, whoever believes it is stupid.

Liu Zifei looked at the sky worriedly, if it started to rain in the afternoon, the shooting would be delayed.

"Xiao Liu," Ouyang Liyan said, "I heard that you quit your job at the TV station?"

"En." Liu Zifei lowered her head.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Yes."

"Then the teacher won't ask the reason, and won't say anything. I hope you will persevere and go to success."

"Thank you, teacher."

Ouyang Liyan said with a smile: "Your teacher Han told me in a private chat before that among your grades, if you want to choose the three he likes the most, you must be one of them."

Liu Zifei was a little flattered, "Mr. Han may have misjudged her."

"Has he lost sight? I don't know. In short, it is not the time to make a conclusion. Life is very short, but it is also very long."

Ouyang Liyan looked back at Du Caige who was bowing his head and thinking, "This director is not simple, you should learn more from him."

"Yes, Brother Du is very powerful. There are many things worth learning from me. But Teacher Yang, how do you judge? You haven't talked to him yet."

"Needless to say, although the crew is small, it has all internal organs, but he can control it with ease; the process of filming has been firmly controlled by him, and everyone knows what they should do; he is also responsible for directing and arranging the actors." He did it very well, and it can be seen that he is very good at acting. Maybe he can jump up at any time and become an excellent actor. I don’t need to continue to list it. I don’t know if he can become an excellent director, but I'm pretty sure that an excellent director must do what he does."

Liu Zifei is the assistant director of this temporary crew.

As an assistant director, it is as an assistant to the director, assisting the director to make a good film.

To put it nicely, it's the assistant director; to put it badly, it's fine to say it's a handyman.

In the early stage, she was responsible for casting roles, supervising makeup, costumes, props, lighting, arranging the entry of actors, selecting seats, and directing group performances. Also replace the director to direct the shooting of certain scenes.

But Liu Zifei knew very well that she had only completed less than half of the duties, most of which were actually done by Du Caige herself.

If we really waited for her to do these things, we would definitely not be able to finish filming in one day.

When Du Caige is directing, she will look at the monitor from the side to understand and try to figure it out.

Why did this pass?Why is this one clicked?

Why can't this performance work, but the next performance can?

Why is the light lowered by 15 degrees this time, and why is the light diverged next time?

There is so much she needs to learn.

Some of her classmates entered the studio immediately after graduation, and she has fallen behind a lot. Now she must absorb nutrients diligently like a sponge absorbing water, and grow up as soon as possible.

Her resignation was not impulsive.

Staying at the TV station, maybe 20 or 30 years later, she can reach the height of director Zhou, be in charge of several columns, and make some propositions.But what is that?

Du Caige, who once used the stage name Lin Ke, was the pinnacle of his debut, leading the music trend of an era, and portrayed a strong stroke in the history of music.

Although he was banned for several years, he debuted again under a different name, and immediately brought an unknown newcomer to the top of the new song list and the top three of the hot song list.

And she, a director of a TV station?What kind of.

If she hadn't resigned, worked hard, and ventured out, she would never have had the opportunity to stand in front of Du Caige and have an equal dialogue.

Maybe Du Caige wouldn't mind.

She could tell that Du Caige wouldn't mind if she had money, or whether she had talent, or whether she could make a good movie.

But she cares.

she minds.

If she didn't even have the courage to pursue her dream, how could she have the courage to stand in front of Du Caige and compete with a peerless beauty like Duan Xiaochen?

Liu Zifei withdrew her thoughts and turned her attention back to the shooting scene.

There are too many things she doesn't understand, but now she can't ask, and she can't interrupt the filming.

I can only remember my doubts for the time being, and ask Du Caige after the filming is over.

What she can learn in this day may be better than the three years in school.

"This one is over!" After Du Caige finished speaking, he looked down at the time on his phone, "Everyone rest for 20 minutes. The main cast and crew come over here!"

When Zhang Guodong, Ouyang Liyan, Feng Hao, Wang Lin, and Yu Hanyi who was doing nothing to make soy sauce all approached, Du Caige took out a USB flash drive, inserted it into his laptop, and said with a smile, "I've already finished the theme song." , this is a demo, everyone, listen to it and give us some opinions.”

He fiddled with it, and soon the music player started playing "One Night in the North" sung by Jiang Youxi.

"One Night in the North, I left a lot of love, whether you love it or not, it is the dust of history."

"One Night in the North, I left a lot of love, I dare not ask the way at midnight for fear of walking into the depths of flowers"

Everyone had different expressions, and they might not all like the song, but they all listened carefully.

When hearing the lyrics "Deep in a Hundred Flowers", Liu Zifei said softly: "It's time for the occasion."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After the broadcast was over, Ouyang Liyan asked, "Did you write the lyrics?"

Du Caige nodded.

Ouyang Liyan clicked his tongue in admiration, clapped his hands and said: "Lin Ke is Lin Ke, and his actions are extraordinary."

Du Caige smiled and nodded, "That's ridiculous. Besides, I'm Hemingway now."

"Well, it's not bad to change your name and start over. Actually, as an artist, you're not married yet, so it doesn't matter if you're a little romantic. You're out of luck."

Du Caige didn't answer, just smiled.

Ouyang Liyan smiled again: "Actually, you have long wanted to be a director, and you have been practicing photography skills so many years ago."

Du Caige's smile was a little embarrassed.Ouyang Liyan is older than him, and has a high social status. He is the professor of Moying. If he made a few jokes about him, he really couldn't do it.

Liu Zifei quickly rescued him, "Brother Du, I checked the Internet yesterday, and there really is an alley called Baihua in Beijing City."

"Yes," Du Caige said, "I heard about it when I went to the north. There are many stories about Baihua Hutong. This song is actually adapted from one of the stories. So the second half of the lyrics , actually has little to do with our movie.”

Then he briefly told the story about Baihua Hutong.

"It's okay," Liu Zifei said, "There is the word "Hundred Flowers Deep" in the lyrics, which has already been mentioned. Then the story described in the lyrics is also part of the tradition, and it is also relevant."

Du Caige thought about it and felt that it made sense.
