When the director became popular in the entertainment industry

The opening ceremony will be held in the multi-function hall of the hotel.

The host went up to give the opening speech, and after introducing the important guests one by one, the leaders gave speeches.Bai Congzhen sat with the actors of the film crew, and felt sleepy listening to it below.

"Director Cong, it's time for you to go up soon." Su Yaya paid attention to the process, and pushed Bai Congzhen when the last person was about to finish speaking.

"Yeah." Bai Congzhen rubbed his eyes and complained in a low voice: "Why can't I escape the leader's speech after entering the entertainment industry?"

The leaders talk too much.It's just the opening ceremony. Those who don't know think it's a work unit to guide the work.It's still the kind that doesn't guide to the point.

So when Bai Congzhen came on stage, he took the microphone and briefly introduced the leading and supporting roles of the crew, said a few words of thanks, and then quickly concluded the whole process in less than 5 minutes.

The smile on the corner of the host's mouth froze for a moment, and after realizing it, he quickly picked up the microphone to invite the leading actors. The leaders came up and went through the final process with Bai Congzhen—the unveiling of the camera.

So far, the meeting before the opening ceremony has come to an end.The next three to 10 minutes will be the on-site interview session of the media, and it is also the segment that all media are most looking forward to.

So when Bai Congzhen took the two leading actors to stand in the interview area, all the media rushed to put the microphone into Bai Congzhen's arms.

Standing beside him, Lu Rongmo and Jiang Hanxi acted as microphone stands, and very self-aware, leaned the microphone in Bai Congzhen's direction.

They are two rookies who have no such person in the entertainment industry. How can there be Bai Congzhen who has just done a big thing and is worth interviewing.

"Director, may I ask what did Du Mengfu threaten you to kick her out of the crew?" The reporter asked the question that everyone in the room wanted to ask.

Bai Congzhen, who knew this would happen a long time ago, was very calm: "First of all, I didn't kick her out of the crew, we terminated the contract very amicably. Secondly, you should ask the other party what you threatened me. She wants What should be clearer than me."

"May I ask the director, do you dare to be so unscrupulous because of your strong background?"

"Of course not." Bai Congzhen shook his head innocently, and then changed the topic: "It's because I have money and can afford liquidated damages. Otherwise, which investor would be willing to lose money before the TV series is shot."

This answer surprised everyone, but at the same time they became excited and wanted to continue asking.But before he could speak, he was blocked by Bai Congzhen.

"Don't just ask gossip, okay? You haven't seen these two handsome men and beauties around me? And my drama, don't you look forward to it?" Bai Congzhen deliberately made an exaggerated expression of disbelief .

As soon as the question came out, a male reporter in the back row shouted loudly: "Because you are so good-looking, director!"

Everyone burst out laughing, Bai Congzhen laughed too, and then quickly tensed his face, pretending to be serious: "It's useless to praise me. I won't answer your gossip, why don't you hurry up and ask something serious. The interview time is fast." arrive."

With this, the atmosphere of the interview suddenly became much easier.

The reporters also began to ask questions about the new drama tactfully, and occasionally interviewed the two leading actors about their feelings.Although some people did not give up and continued to ask Bai Congzhen about Du Mengfu and himself, they were all fooled by Bai Congzhen's gags.

Speaking of which, although Bai Congzhen has been filmed in variety shows and became popular, this is still the media's first interview with him.

And after the interview, the reporters also felt that compared to the previous bold behavior style on the Internet, the real Bai Congzhen offline seemed to be more lively and tactful, and also more humorous than they imagined.Overall, this interview was a good experience for both parties.

It was almost noon after the interview, and it was a good time to have a meal.

After dinner, the work of today's unrelated guest leaders comes to an end.The media wanted to follow Bai Congzhen to the filming location to follow the incense ceremony.

Standing in front of the table covered with red cloth and offering tributes, the director and deputy director and the two leading actors lit incense, held their eyes closed in front of them and meditated for a few seconds, then bowed slightly, and then Bai Congzhen took the lead, and inserted the incense into the incense burner one by one .

Although Bai Cong really didn't believe this, he respected the customs very much.It's just that when he was praying for the crew to go well, Bai Congzhen also brought private goods and begged Yuelao to bless him and Lou Hean to grow old forever.

Anyway, there is no specific person to say goodbye to, so Bai Congzhen naturally operates as needed.

This is the official end of the launching ceremony after incense burning.

The media packed up their things and went back to write manuscripts, the staff removed the altar in front of the store, and actors such as Lu Rongmo and Jiang Hanxi went to change costumes for styling.Bai Congzhen and Xu Qingsong watched the on-site production and the prop crew install equipment together.

Because the main shooting location is on the real daily street, crowds watching and showing their faces in the shops on the street are inevitable.Since he couldn't hide, Bai Congzhen simply asked Su Yaya to visit the shops on the whole street and sign contracts related to portrait rights with them.

It doesn't matter if you accidentally get on camera later, just use it generously.Not to mention that there are security guards on the outside of the filming site, and no one will be allowed to enter during filming.

Sitting on the director's special folding chair, Bai Congzhen looked at the monitor in front of him and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Song, tell me how many years have passed since I graduated, and this is the first time I've officially sat on this chair and watched the monitor."

Xu Qingsong sat beside him and rolled his eyes: "Who is to blame for wanting to film variety shows without doing your own business?"

When filming outdoor variety shows, because they need to control the overall shooting, the directors usually stand with the cameramen and go as they shoot.

"Then how can it be called not doing a proper job?" Bai Congzhen retorted, "That's called practicing hands, laying a foundation for myself to increase my popularity, and giving the audience a chance to get to know me quickly."

"Come on, in the past few months, apart from preparing for new dramas, you have been ripping/pushing on the Internet. Oh, and it is indeed to let the audience know you, although it is to pay attention to you."

After knowing each other for so many years, Xu Qingsong still doesn't know Bai Cong's true nature?It's definitely the kind of thing that's not too big a deal to watch.

"Deputy Director Xu, please correct your position and don't insult the director." Bai Congzhen couldn't listen to this kind of truth, and began to abuse/abuse his position/power: "What are you doing sitting around, hurry up and go to work! If If you don’t do well in Group B tomorrow, I’ll definitely beat you up.”

Forced by the director's coercion/prestige, Xu Qingsong went to work and asked the staff to help move the position, so that it was convenient to adjust the angle of the machine.On the other side, the two leading actors also did a good job of modeling belatedly.

Usually the first scene of a new movie will be the one with a lower difficulty.It is easy for actors with low difficulty to act, and they can guarantee a pass.This is also to win a lottery, just like offering incense and worshiping gods at the opening ceremony, it is all for inner comfort.

Therefore, in the first scene of the crew, Bai Congzhen chose the scene where the hero and heroine meet for the first time.

Si Shuishui, who just graduated, went to many jewelry stores to find a job but failed, so he turned his ideas to those shops on Antique Street.But like those jewelry stores in the city center, the boss saw that she was a fresh graduate without any practical experience, so he rejected her directly as an apprentice without even discussing it.

It was already approaching noon, and Si Shuishui, who was tired and hungry after running around all morning, came to the next street to eat.However, right here, Si Shuishui, who had lost all hope, discovered that a jewelry store called "Jewel and Jade Grocery Store" was recruiting restorer assistants...

Shooting starts here.

After adjusting the camera position again, and the actors confirmed their positions, Bai Congzhen told the reporter to play the board.

"The first scene of "Jewel and Jade Grocery Store" takes one shot, Action!"

Sitting behind the monitor, Bai Congzhen held the walkie-talkie in his hand and stared at Jiang Hanxi and Lu Rongmo on the screen with a serious expression.

Not only the expressions on their faces, but also their body movements were seen by Bai Congzhen one by one.

As a job seeker, Jiang Hanxi grasped the anxiety of the heroine when she first entered the shop, the surprise when she saw the hero, and the confidence when she tested her professional knowledge.

As for the male protagonist, as long as his acting skills are a little bit indifferent, he can easily become ruthless facial paralysis, or even "mentally retarded" with dull eyes.But Lu Rongmo really played the role of cold, distant, gentle and polite.

Bai Congzhen's expression relaxed, and he took the loudspeaker next to the chair and called out "ka".

"OK, it's over. The actors are out of the picture."

Lu Rongmo and Jiang Hanxi looked at each other and smiled happily, and walked to Bai Congzhen's side together, wanting to see how their first scene was going.

"Both of you acted well. Especially Xiao Xi, who entered the group late but has a good understanding of the script and characters. Keep it up."

Facing the two new actors who got off to a good start, Bai Congzhen was not stingy with his praise.

Confidence needs to be cultivated.Raise it well, and it won't break down when it's scolded in the future.
