The twisted melon is sweet

Chapter 208

Director Lu asked the actors to go home and rest in turn.His film was planned to be filmed for more than three months, with the Spring Festival in the middle. It is unrealistic to keep the actors in the film and television city here, and humanized management is more or less necessary, so he adopted such a compromise method.Xiao Yao is one of the actors who were sent back to rest during the Spring Festival.

After all the actors and actresses on the scene have finished filming for this set up scene, when the new scene is set up, the actors who have gone home have to come back and have shots to shoot.Actors can take turns to rest, but the director can't.Although there is an assistant director as the director's right-hand man, the director is responsible for the progress of the entire film and the effect of the film. Film is a regrettable art, but every film is the director's painstaking effort. You have to put your heart and soul into it.

This film has just been filmed, but Director Lu feels very tired.This kind of tiredness does not come from physical labor, but from the heart, that is, heart tiredness.Being unable to go home during the holidays is commonplace for directors, but thinking about not being able to reunite with family members during the Lunar New Year still gives me a deep sense of fatigue.

This afternoon, Director Lu just called to call it a day.Seeing the on-site assistant director approaching him holding a mobile phone, his heart tightened.In order to maintain the mystery of this movie to the audience, the crew only sent a press release to the media when it was started, and did not know what unexpected things happened.

Director Lu took the phone and looked at it, um, the title is very eye-catching, scheming bitch?Xiao Yao?Huh?How can this word be associated with Xiao Yao?Director Lu frowned tightly, and he turned down.After reading this long Weibo, his brows became more and more wrinkled, forming a "Chuan" character between his brows, and he returned the phone to the assistant director.Seeing what the assistant director wanted to say, he waved his hand to signal that he should stay quietly.

The assistant director walked away knowingly, and Director Lu took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked vigorously.Director Lu has been in the circle of directors for a long time, and he is very clear about the things among the actors, and he can see them clearly.After reading that long Weibo post, he basically knew that what was said in it was very credible, there were pictures and the truth, and what was posted was all real, what could be said and what could not be said was written between the lines, and it was obvious The guy at Bo is an old hand.

Dao Lu is not a psychological counselor, nor is he a moral critic. Adults must be responsible for their own actions, and he has no intention of instructing or criticizing others.What he cared about was the movie in front of him. Amidst the green smoke, Director Lu exhaled a thick puff of smoke from his nostrils, and at the same time let out a deep sigh from his throat.

What happened to Xiao Yao at this time, can he still use Xiao Yao in this movie?Director Lu was thinking about this, and he didn't even hear the voice of the little lady in charge handing out boxed lunches.The on-site assistant director brought two lunch boxes and put them next to Director Lu. Seeing that his whole body seemed to be shrouded in clouds and mountains, he didn't dare to disturb him, and slipped back to his residence quietly.

At the beginning, Director Lu was troubled by Xiao Yao's matter and felt that he had no solution. He was about to discuss with the producer, but his mind was distracted, and he picked up the script to consider other issues.His cell phone rang loudly suddenly, and Director Lu woke up with a start. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was the assistant director calling.Said the producer was waiting for him at the hotel.

Director Lu's stomach sounded at the right time, and the boxed lunch on the table came into view. He touched it, and it was already a cold box. After eating it, his stomach would probably turn into ice cubes.Director Lu got up and wrapped himself in the cotton coat, and walked towards the hotel.They are all from the same crew, and they live in different places.Big names and actors live in high-end hotels.Out of financial considerations, the hotel where the director, producer, and crew members lived was closest to the set, and the conditions were average, just enough to meet the requirements of life.

When he was about to reach the hotel gate, Director Lu's cell phone rang again.He thought it was the producer who called to urge him, so he didn't even look at it, so he picked it up and said, "Hurry up, it'll be here soon." There is nothing to hold back and no taboos.

The other end of the phone hesitated for a while, and Director Lu felt that something was wrong. He held the phone in front of his eyes and saw that it was from an investor. He broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Mr. Filmmaker..."

Ji Changshan said: "It's okay. I made this call very suddenly. I wanted to go to the set to see you and give you New Year greetings, but I have been very busy these days, so I didn't take care of it. You didn't take a break for the New Year's Eve. It's hard work." ha."

Director Lu smiled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Ji, and wish Mr. Ji all the best in the new year. It hasn't been too long since you came back from the set, and the crew is worrying."

Ji Changshan laughed a few times, paused for a while, and said, "Director Lu, have you read Weibo?"

Come, come, Director Lu twitched his eyelids a few times, and said, "Mr. Ji, are you talking about that Weibo post about Xiao Yao?"

"Yes. If I remember correctly, Xiao Yao is the second male lead in this movie, playing a character with a pure heart and a kind heart." Ji Changshan's voice became cold and serious.

Director Lu's back was cold, and he muttered, "Yes, Mr. Ji really has a good memory!" After speaking, Director Lu thought to himself, tell me, Ji Changshan should be busy with all kinds of opportunities, and he is busy with investment and financing. It's not easy to know the crew so clearly about the business!

Ji Changshan said: "If there is a big discrepancy between the audience's expectations for the role and the actor's image in front of the public, what kind of impact will it have on our film. I think Director Lu should be very clear."

After being ordered to this point, Director Lu said sorry to Xiao Yao in his heart, and then quickly responded: "I have already considered this step, and I was going to tell the producer just now. Thank you, Mr. Ji, for pointing it out. However, once the role is changed, some of the shots taken in the early stage can no longer be used, and the cost will exceed the budget.Director Lu praised his wit ten thousand times.Really, if the money is given, there is no problem in knocking down the whole thing and reshooting him.

Ji Changshan smiled lightly and said, "Director Lu is really a good director. You can ask the production coordinator to make an additional budget report."

Director Lu felt relaxed and said, "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Ji!"

The phone was hung up, and the invisible mountain on Lu Dao's back also disappeared.There is nothing better than this. Xiao Yao got rid of this hot potato, and the negative impact on the crew was completely eliminated. Not only did he get impression points from the upper management, but the literary and art circles needed actors with both virtue and skill to create a good performance. The social atmosphere, and also left a good reputation in front of everyone in advance, it is really a win-win situation.

As for Xiao Yao losing this great opportunity, whocare?Director Lu and Xiao Yao are not familiar with each other, judging from the scene filming with him during this period, Xiao Yao's appearance level is much higher than his acting skills, and it is exhausting to guide him.Besides, what is said in the long Weibo is the truth, and I can't blame others for my own death.

Director Lu thought that his footsteps became lighter here. He decided to find an actor with online acting skills to replace Xiao Yao's role as soon as possible after communicating with the producer. At most, the makeup artist and stylist would spend more time. Much easier.You can also communicate with the screenwriter. The script is written by humans, and the distribution of roles can also be fine-tuned. As long as there is additional funds, it will be five words floating in the sky: This is nothing!
