Whose Little Eyes Haven't Seen the Actor Yet

Whether it is TV drama shooting or movie shooting, in order to ensure the progress, there are basically more than two sets of crews. Directors, photographers, lighting, recording, etc. must prepare two teams of people.The main director is group A, which is responsible for filming the main scenes, while the other group is called group B, which is responsible for filming some less important scenes and plots.

On the third day Jiang Zicheng entered the group, he and Zhou Manyu were assigned to Group B to film their "rival scene".

It is not accurate to say that it is a "rival scene". There is no conversation between the two characters, and they don't even know each other's existence.They just appear together in some scenes to compare the class differences of the two characters.

Jiang Zicheng is an elite male boss who drives luxury cars when he goes out, goes to high-end clubs to discuss business, and wears brand-name clothes.The actor played by Zhou Manyu has just graduated and has nothing but a sincere heart.

In this scene, the hero goes out early to squeeze the bus to work, but there are several cars coming, but he can't squeeze in, until 10 minutes later, he finally squeezes into the car, sweating profusely.At the same time, a pure white BMW X6 drove past the bus, and the person sitting in the driver's seat was the male boss.

Although this scene is only a small scene of less than 1 minute in the movie, it is very difficult to shoot.

Road closures for real shooting, mobilization of extras, the camera following the male lead into the car, the camera shifting from the bus to the passing car... everything is a problem.

There are only two lines in the script, and Group B filmed for five hours from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] noon, and it was finally completed.

During the lunch break, Zhou Manyu asked to watch the filming samples.

Jiang Zicheng also wanted to see the effect of the shooting, so he moved to the side of the monitor.

The director of group B picked out the one with the best effect from the dozen or so shots shot in the morning, and played it for the two of them.

The director of Group B is in his early thirties and has rich experience. He has been in many crews and has been helping big directors.His overall mobilization ability is very good, and he cooperates very well with the photographer. The language of the lens is very simple, and he expresses all the content required by the script in a regular manner.

Jiang Zicheng watched it intently, and sincerely thanked: "Director and photography teacher, thank you both for your hard work."

The photographer hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiang, you are welcome."

The three of them were talking, when the male protagonist next to him suddenly let out a heavy "hum" and turned his face unceremoniously.

"Photographer, what's going on here?" Zhou Manyu poked his finger directly on the monitor, "Didn't I tell you this morning, my skin condition is not good today, my face is swollen, don't shoot me from this angle! This shot Is it too ugly for me to take pictures?"

He was obviously picking on the photographer's thorns, but in fact, every sentence was aimed at the director of Group B.After all, how to use the mirror and from which angle to shoot, the director must first determine the storyboard before the official shooting can start.

"..." The director of group B was humiliated, but he couldn't offend this first-line trafficker, so he could only bear his unhappiness and give him a little explanation: "Mr. Zhou, there is a reason for this filming."

The photographer immediately added: "At that time, the ambient light was... the position of the light... the direction of the lens cutting in..."

"I don't listen to these things." Zhou Manyu turned and left, "I will report this matter to my agency. The contract before joining the group is not signed like this!"

When Zhou Manyu cursed, he didn't deliberately lower his voice.The surrounding crew all bowed their heads to eat, pretending to be wooden figures, as if no one had heard the dispute.

Looking at the back of the male protagonist walking away, and looking at the faces of the director and cameraman of group B beside him who dared not speak out, Jiang Zicheng was dumbfounded, and felt that all this was too mysterious.

He, did he read it right?The director—even the director of Group B—is the soul of the whole play. He is responsible for controlling the rhythm of the whole play and coordinating the entire crew.As an actor, Zhou Manyu dared to insult the director face to face? !Even if he is a popular trafficker, if this kind of reputation spreads, he will definitely be resisted by the insiders.

Who would have thought that something more mysterious is yet to come——

——That afternoon, Zhou Manyu's manager came to the shooting scene in person and brought a well-dressed middle-aged man with him.

Zhou Manyu's agent pointed to the person behind him, and said to the director of Group B: "Director, thank you for re-shooting the scene in the morning. This is Lao Liu, a senior photographer of our company, who has worked with many groups. Alright, let him take the picture this afternoon. He knows how to make Man Yu look better."

Group B director: "..."

Group B photographer: "..."

Jiang Zicheng who eats melons: "..."

Damn, this traffic niche is too arrogant, right?

Jiang Zicheng had filmed six or seven films, but the crews he had been in before were either full of rookies and transparent, or hard-working and low-key talented actors took the lead.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zicheng encountered such absurd and absurd things when he joined the crew of this kind of commercial film for the first time and played with popular actors for the first time.

However, it was such an absurd condition that the director of Group B actually agreed.

Jiang Zicheng, who can't even eat melons: "..."

After returning to the hotel that night, Jiang Zicheng couldn't help calling Brother Hu to complain.

Jiang Zicheng: "Brother Hu, what is the background of that Zhou Manyu? He is so arrogant! Just because the photographer did not take good-looking pictures of him, he actually brought his own photographer into the group, crowding out the original group B photography??"

Brother Hu quietly listened to his complaints, and waited until he had finished spitting out the black mud before he spoke: "Zicheng, what do you think is the 'standard' in a film and television work?"

Jiang Zicheng didn't even think about it, and immediately said: "Overseas is a 'script writer', and domestic is a 'director'."

This sentence means that in foreign film and television works, the screenwriter has the highest status. Directors, photographers, and actors must closely follow the script and serve the script. The ultimate goal of making a movie is to complete the content of the script. Presented to the audience, guide everyone to understand, reflect, and look forward.

In China, in most cases, the director has the highest status in a crew.The whole movie is actually the director's own show, showing his purpose, his thoughts, and his pursuit.The screenwriter who writes the script is secondary, and even often encounters situations where actors ask the screenwriter to change the script.

"Wrong." Brother Hu said firmly, "Big mistake."

"what is that?"

"It's the 'money standard'."

"..."

"Zicheng, Zhou Manyu's company is the biggest investor in this drama, and Zhou Manyu is the one with the best traffic in Xiaosheng. After the official announcement of his role, those advertisers are going to break their heads for an implant."

"..."

"His acting skills are not good and he has a big temper, but he is popular, and everyone has to follow him. There is no way, this is the market." Brother Hu sighed, "I know you are soft-hearted, but we really don't want to deal with this matter. .If he bullies you, I can justifiably protect you, but now he is targeting other people, and neither you nor I can do anything. "

After Jiang Zicheng hung up the phone, he silently made a wish in his heart.

In the future, he must be more popular than Zhou Manyu—not the kind of "traffic" red, but the kind of "actor".He wants to beat him, despise him, and crush him in every way. He will win the Best Actor, and then tell everyone in the circle he knows not to cooperate with a scum like Zhou Manyu.

Jiang Zicheng's impression of Zhou Manyu plummeted.He used to simply think that Zhou Manyu had no acting skills and could only be handsome in front of the camera, but now he felt that Zhou Manyu not only had no acting skills but could only be handsome, he was also a scumbag.

"I hate the house and the crow", and his impression of the heroine An Wen has also changed a lot.

An Wen was very slow, and didn't realize that Jiang Zicheng was trying to distance herself from her.Every day when she arrived at the set, she would take the initiative to say hello to Jiang Zicheng, and asked her assistant to give Jiang Zicheng a portion of the prepared fruit.

Jiang Zicheng thought "I'm not someone who will be bought by mere fruits!" while eating all the fruits with complicated emotions.

When work was over that night, the director called Jiang Zicheng and An Wen to stop him, and said to them: "Xiao Jiang will only stay in the group for ten days. Originally, the last two days were scheduled to shoot outdoor night scenes, but the weather forecast shows that there will be some accidents during those two nights." Rain. So I thought about it and just mentioned that we're going to shoot tomorrow night. Are you two okay?"

Night scenes are difficult to shoot, and you have to stay up all night, so night scenes are called "big nights".

Jiang Zicheng was very dedicated, and immediately said: "I have no problem."

An Wen didn't answer immediately, but turned around and ran to find her "fortune-telling assistant".

An Wen: "Assistant assistant, the director said that tomorrow night will be filming the big night, is there any problem with this itinerary?"

The fortune teller immediately took out a set of tarot cards, spread them on the table and started counting.

Jiang Zicheng: "..."

He only listened to the fortune-telling assistant's thoughts and words, muttering about swords, fools, hanged people, upright and reversed things...Jiang Zicheng didn't understand these things at all, and didn't understand a word.

At the end of the calculation, the fortune-telling assistant said: "Tarot shows that you will encounter very bad things tomorrow night. You are likely to be sick or injured, and you may be involved in a vortex that is different from what you expect now."

Jiang Zicheng: "..."

Jiang Zicheng thought to himself, probably this little princess will be like her boyfriend, yelling not to shoot, right?

Who would have thought that An Wen would answer the director after hearing this, "I can do it, no problem."

The director was also a little hesitant: "...Didn't your assistant just say that the hexagram is not good?"

"It's okay." An Wen blinked, "Anyone who is filming may be injured. I can't delay the progress of the crew because of me alone. Besides, the crew has doctors and nurses who accompany the crew, just bring them tomorrow night Yeah."

Jiang Zicheng: "..."

At that moment, there were many emotions in his heart, but one thought was very clear - at least in terms of character, Zhou Manyu's scumbag was not good enough for An Wen.

The director said: "Okay, let's go to 'Ginza Soho' to shoot night scenes tomorrow night, and the official announcement will be sent to you this evening."

Jiang Zicheng didn't have many scenes, so he quickly remembered which scene he needed to shoot on location.

Jiang Zicheng: "Is it the scene where the heroine confesses to her boss?"

——He remembered very clearly that in that scene, the heroine took the initiative to offer a kiss to the male boss.
