Chapter 742: This is called being prepared
She swallowed her words and silently accepted everything.
Not long after, a staff member came to knock on the door: "Brother Tong, the set decoration is finished, we can start filming."
Liu Tong made an OK gesture and greeted Wang Ziyu with a smile: "Let's go, Ziyu. Isn't this script much simpler than before after the changes? Act well later."
Wang Ziyu twitched the corners of her mouth reluctantly.
Act well?
Where was there any room for performance in those few lines of hers?
Arriving at the set, everything was ready. Liu Tong clapped his hands, walked to the center of the field with a full air, and said loudly: "The director is not here this morning, so I will film the early scene. Everyone, please cooperate. Let's finish filming early and call it a day."
Assistant directors filming on behalf of the director was a routine operation for the crew. Generally, it was filmed according to the script process, and it would be fine as long as there were no problems when the director calibrated it at the end.
Even if there were problems, the segments could be removed and re-filmed, which could greatly reduce the director's workload.
"Director Li Xiao is such a stylish person, and he even lets others film for him?" Tan Yue couldn't help but mutter in a low voice when he saw this.
Shen Li pursed her lips on the side, clearly also feeling a bit surprised.
"A-Li, your scene in Scene 1, prepare yourself."
"Scene 2, Ke'er. Turn on the snow machine now. Pull a slow downward long shot from the snowy sky, give the camera to the playground, and let the bell ring."
"The extras start pouring out, A-Li follows the crowd out, Camera 2 cuts to A-Li's front close-up, follow the script from behind, cut after A-Li's last line in Scene 1. Do you understand?"
Liu Tong explained the scene carefully. After all, he was Director Li Xiao's assistant director, and his professionalism was full as soon as he opened his mouth, concisely and clearly stating every shot and step.
Everyone nodded in agreement: "Received, Brother Tong."
The floor manager yelled: "Everyone, keep quiet!"
As soon as the camera started, the scene instantly entered the filming state, everyone fell silent, and the snow machine blew heavy snow all over the sky, drifting down.
Guang Rong watched excitedly and subconsciously took out his phone to record a video, but before he could raise it, someone reached out and pressed it down.
He turned his head and saw Wang Ziyu shaking her head slightly at him, clearly signaling that he couldn't film.
Guang Rong nodded in understanding and made an OK gesture to signal that he knew.
"Cut!"
Following Liu Tong's shout of "Cut", he saw him poke his head out from behind the machine and clap his hands: "Not bad, A-Li, let's do it again."
Because it was an assistant director filming on behalf of the director, Liu Tong generally filmed a shot two to three times. Even if he was very satisfied with the first time, he would film a few more takes, which could reduce the probability of errors and let the director choose the one he was satisfied with.
Shen Li nodded, and all the actors began to take their positions again.
During this gap, Xu Ke'er noticed Wang Ziyu not far away. She was in a daze, looking empty and preoccupied.
Xu Ke'er curled her lips, draped her coat over her shoulders, and walked over.
"Hello, beauty."
"Teacher Ke'er." Seeing it was Xu Ke'er, Wang Ziyu hurriedly stood up straight to greet her.
Xu Ke'er sized up her face that didn't need makeup at all, and a deep meaning filled her eyes: "I see that our scenes in the first few parts have been changed. What about your lines?"
Wang Ziyu lowered her eyes and explained truthfully: "Teacher Liu Tong said that there were some changes, some unnecessary parts were deleted, and some were more suitable for you to say."
"Ah?" Xu Ke'er showed a surprised expression and asked with feigned concern: "Are you able to adapt to the temporary changes?"
"I can. I will act well, Teacher Ke'er."
Xu Ke'er smiled slightly: "As actors, we all serve the script in the end. Since the screenwriters changed it this way, there must be their professional considerations. We just need to do our part well."
"Mm, I understand. Thank you, Teacher Ke'er."
"Then good luck later!"
After saying this, Xu Ke'er turned around, and the expression on her face instantly changed, with a sneer mixed with some triumph.
That's right, what's the use of just being pretty?
On this day, Shen Yingying finally came to her sister's company. She had promised earlier that she would come to help when Guang Rong went abroad with A-Li.
Shen Jingjing took her sister to tour the company first, and they looked at every department.
"Our company isn't big, and currently, the business is still concentrated in the two central districts of Longcheng. Precisely because the company is small, things aren't heavy when operating each department. After all, our company currently only has cleaning services and hasn't expanded other businesses."
Being specialized and refined was what "Jingjie" and Shen Jingjing pursued.
Shen Yingying looked around. She couldn't go to the finance department because she didn't know how to do accounting. She wasn't very good at the after-sales department either, as her temper was somewhat impatient.
The operations department was too professional, and she didn't understand anything.
"Sister, your company is too professional. I'm afraid I can't help much. Why don't you let me do cleaning?" Shen Yingying couldn't help but say.
Shen Jingjing laughed as soon as she heard this: "You say that, but can I let you come to my company to do cleaning? Since I let you come, there must be an arrangement."
As she spoke, she took Shen Yingying to Tao Fei's office.
"Sister Jingjing." Seeing Shen Jingjing come, Tao Fei hurriedly stood up to greet her. As for Shen Yingying, he had also seen her and knew she was Sister Jingjing's sister.
"This is Manager Tao, currently the person in charge of the company's branch." Shen Jingjing introduced Tao Fei to Shen Yingying: "Manager Tao is my entrepreneurial partner and has helped me a lot from the beginning."
Upon hearing this, Tao Fei hurriedly smiled modestly: "Sister Jingjing, don't say that. I was unemployed at the time, and I didn't know where to find work without you."
"You should have seen my sister." Shen Jingjing instructed Tao Fei: "I want her to stay in the company to help me in the future, but she has no experience and should be completely ignorant. Manager Tao, please take the trouble to bring her along."
"Okay, no problem. Leave it to me, Sister Jingjing." Tao Fei nodded readily.
Shen Yingying listened vaguely on the side, then blinked at her sister: "Sister, what do you want me to learn from Manager Tao?"
"Learn management, what else?"
"Management? I-I can manage who?" Shen Yingying instinctively resisted in her heart. She had never been a leader since she was a child, and she only managed her husband and children at home.
How could she manage others?
"It's not asking you to manage anyone." Shen Jingjing couldn't laugh or cry and explained: "It's asking you to follow Manager Tao to understand how the company operates and what the daily work of the person in charge is. It doesn't matter if you don't understand; learn slowly. If it's fast, two or three months, and if it's slow, half a year is enough."
"I didn't understand anything at the beginning either, and it was Manager Tao who taught me. He has a lot of experience."
"Because there are currently only two stores, I am at the main store, and Manager Tao is responsible for the branch. I am thinking of opening a third store in the second half of the year. When the time comes, I will let you go over to be the person in charge. I call this being prepared. I'll cultivate you well first, so you can learn with peace of mind and don't think about anything else." ===== CHAPTER 743 =====
