The national goddess of Korean entertainment

In May, "The Fault in Our Stars" officially started filming in San Francisco.

The reason why she chose this city is because Xu Zhiyuan likes the nostalgic feeling of this city, rather than the bustling metropolis of Los Angeles or New York.

She likes the warm style of the city under the camera. Although this is not the place where the story takes place in the novel, she really wants to use the camera to capture this warm city.

That kind of warm tone is exactly what she wants to show in "The Fault in Our Stars".

Although the story centers on two teenagers suffering from cancer, and the story will have a lot of tearjerkers, Seo Ji-won had no intention of making this a sad movie.

What she wants is that the whole movie has been filled with a small and fresh taste, bright and upward power, and that sense of humor.

Because Song Kanghao still has important filming after that, the first filming is about Song Kanghao, the father character.

We have collaborated a long time ago, although Seo Ji Won's current acting skills, praised by Song Kanghao, are completely two people before, but the tacit understanding between the two is still there, and the filming process has always been smooth.

Although it was the first time for Song Kanghao to cooperate with the whole American crew, with Xu Zhiyuan, a Korean, working with the crew was quite a pleasure.

Even the man-to-man conversation with Dylan, who plays Augustus, was shot very quickly.

A good actor needs to adjust his status at any time and adapt to different crews. An old actor like Song Kanghao doesn't need Xu Zhiyuan to worry about this point, he can handle it by himself.

Even after filming with Dylan, they talked and laughed as if they had known each other for a long time.

When Song Kanghao returned to South Korea after filming his own scenes in a week, Dylan and Seo Jiwon laughed and said, "Korean people are not as old-fashioned as he thought."

I don't know what book Dylan read, but Xu Zhiyuan smiled and didn't say much.

If Dylan does arrive in Korea one day, it will be a big surprise.

It's hard to say whether it's old-fashioned or not, but South Korea is really strict in terms of etiquette.

If Seo Ji Won hadn't become famous now, and had become a star who won glory for the country, she would still be a small star in Korea who had to bow her head in front of her predecessors.

Although it was the first time we worked together with Dylan, the two were close in age, so they got along very well.

But that was only outside the set. On the set, Dylan didn't dare to joke around with Xu Zhiyuan.

He still remembered Xu Zhiyuan's frightening appearance on the set, no matter how beautiful she was, she was really as terrifying as a fire-breathing dinosaur.

On the set, the director has always been the biggest, but Xu Zhiyuan's age and qualifications are too young, and she has no experience as a director in the United States.

It is simply an impossible task to impress the old fritters as soon as they enter the set.

A few days after the filming started, a lighting engineer wanted to show off Xu Zhiyuan. When Xu Zhiyuan gave the order, he deliberately pretended not to hear clearly and did not play soft light according to Xu Zhiyuan's order.

This kind of thing is trivial for people who don't know how to do it. If you don't know which light bulb the lighting engineer uses, you won't be able to detect it at all.

In the eyes of the staff on the set, Xu Zhiyuan is basically a layman. Although she made a movie, she even won an award at the Sundance Film Festival, and the box office was not bad when it was released last year.

But, it was filmed in South Korea after all, who knows how many of them she really did by herself?Perhaps, the entire movie was shot by the assistant director.

But just after the lights came on, the actors took their positions, and before the filming officially started, Xu Zhiyuan realized something was wrong.

This shot, or every shot in this play, Xu Zhiyuan has analyzed and reorganized many times in the storyboard script. For each set of shots, how the actors should play, how the lighting should be played, and how the camera should be played. No matter what angle is taken, she has passed it countless times in her heart.

It can be said that before shooting, all these have been simulated countless times in her mind, and she has found out the most suitable one.

So now when the lights are turned on, Xu Zhiyuan immediately senses something is wrong.

"Hey, Joe, you're using the wrong baby, I told you just now, it's not this baby..."

On the set, lighting engineers generally call all kinds of light bulbs baby.

These terms, Xu Zhiyuan has spent a lot of time on the set, so she is naturally familiar with them.

But even though she was full of jargon, those men still didn't pay attention to her as a woman.

"That's what Caesar told me just now——Claire, do you need to communicate with Caesar?"

Kaisa is the assistant director of this film, a man who has been in the industry for more than ten years, but has never really directed a movie in this circle, but has been working as an assistant director.

It can be said that Caesar has been dissatisfied with Xu Zhiyuan since he decided to join the crew.

Why can a female star who is only in her 20s be a film director, but he can only be a deputy? !

Even Claire Xu didn't even take directing courses, she knows what it means to make a movie!

Just because she is a star and has a rich stepfather investing, can she be so willful and treat movies as toys in her hands? !

There has been a fire in my heart. Although Kaiser did not embarrass Xu Zhiyuan publicly, he has complained to many staff members in private. Negative emotions can easily infect people, because Kaiser secretly worships, the crew The behind-the-scenes staff in the movie generally think that Seo Ji-won should not be a director.

In this play, she is just a name, and the real work still has to be directed by Caesar.

Hearing the lighting engineer Joe's words, Xu Zhiyuan smiled.

Although she hadn't heard Kaiser speak ill of her, she hadn't heard those rumors.Originally, she had no intention of causing trouble, but now it seems that her majesty and rights are being challenged!

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Caesar." She replied with a smile, Xu Zhiyuan didn't even show an angry expression.

Everyone on the set put down their work and waited to see Xu Zhiyuan's excitement.

Kaisa saw Xu Zhiyuan walking towards him, coughed, hugged his shoulders, and waited for Xu Zhiyuan to bow to him.

He didn't mind helping if Claire begged him.Anyway, the rich lady is worthy of her name.

Approaching with a smile, Xu Zhiyuan looked at the bearded Caesar, who was taller than her by a head and looked strong, with a bigger smile.

"Hi Caesar..."

"Well, Claire..." Caesar raised his head, just waiting for Xu Zhiyuan to lower her head to beg him.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiyuan smiled, and said with a smile: "Caesar, you have been fired! Now, immediately - please leave the crew!"

Almost nodding, Caesar reacted and stared wide-eyed, "Fire me?! Why? No, why did you fire me! Claire, did you ask Emma about this? You're just the director, isn't it right to fire the assistant director?" You alone have the final say."

"You are so good, I should ask Emma."

In fact, if it is a powerful director, it is a matter of firing the assistant director, but obviously, Xu Zhiyuan does not think that he is an authoritative director.

Because of Caesar's yelling, many staff around began to be dissatisfied with Xu Zhiyuan.

Hearing the yelling around, Xu Zhiyuan acted as if she didn't hear it, she just smiled and pulled out the phone, "Hi, Emma, ​​I'm going to fire Caesar, do you have any objections!?"

This is not an inquiry, but a notification.

When making this call, Xu Zhiyuan was not prepared for Emma's objection at all.As her trusted friend and partner, Emma would never be able to disagree with her because of a sub-director.

After listening to Emma on the phone, Xu Zhiyuan smiled and handed the phone forward, "Caesar, you want to listen to Emma! She wants me to ask the accountant to settle your salary. Don't be too harsh. It must be done according to the contract."

Caesar didn't answer the phone and looked at Xu Zhiyuan with a pale face.

Without forcing him to answer the phone, Xu Zhiyuan turned her head, looked at the people who still hadn't reacted, and said in a deep voice: "They are all so leisurely, don't they need to work!? I know what you are thinking now, I don't care! Do you think so?" Those who leave with Kaiser, leave now - those who stay and work, the daily salary will be increased by 10%!"

Carrots and sticks come together, it's a personal choice.

Even a few work partners who usually brag and drink with Kaiser, no one stood up to speak for Kaiser.

Caesar gasped suddenly, really desperate.

Just when Xu Zhiyuan turned around, he rushed over suddenly, trying to attack Xu Zhiyuan.

It's just a pity that although he is taller and stronger, in Xu Zhiyuan's opinion, he is a very stupid guy.

It doesn't even need too many moves, just a shoulder throw and it's done.

Kicking Caesar who fell on the ground, Xu Zhiyuan raised her head and said loudly: "You all saw it, he attacked me first! Meihua, what are you still standing there for? Call the police—"

Caesar was taken away by the police and attacked by the defendant. Although Xu Zhiyuan finally reached a settlement in court, his reputation in this industry was ruined.

A sub-director who disobeyed the director's management, played tricks behind his back, and even tried to attack the director, which director would dare to use it again?

And Xu Zhiyuan's set, after removing this poisonous insect, is extremely harmonious.

With a salary increase, the motivation to work will naturally rise.

Those who are dissatisfied and want to cause sabotage, think about it, they will be fired at any time, and then think about that sharp shoulder throw, buddy, don’t you want to make a fool of yourself and lose your job?

I'm so stupid, why have I forgotten that the newspapers reported several times that Xu Zhiyuan's fighting scenes and the previous stunt scenes were all filmed by herself?

Don't look at the female director in front of her as a beautiful and lovely girl, but in terms of skills, maybe even a few big men may not be her opponent.

Because of this, Dylan laughed and said that he regards Seo Ji Won as an idol.

Xu Zhiyuan shook her hands, "I'm on a diet recently, or else I'd fall more smoothly..."

One sentence made Dylan's hair black.

But it's true, Xu Zhiyuan is much thinner now than when he saw it before.But it was being so thin that made her look more in line with Heather's patient status.

Putting on makeup and putting on a ventilator, Xu Zhiyuan looks more like Heather, but the most similar thing is her look and demeanor, the attachment to life hidden in her bones, and a touch of sadness, making her look like Sea se.

While the movie isn't finished yet, Dylan feels they're going to make a good movie, if only because of Seo Ji-won's Heather, and it will be a good movie.
