Chapter 762: Chatting before entering the group

~14 min read 2,760 words

Since the shooting of "Dawn 2" is scheduled for next week, Jin Li also has to do a lot of preparation work.

First, quickly go through the following announcements, some that must be participated in as usual, and some unimportant ones can be pushed.

Then there is the problem of pre-group training for "Dawn 2."

In fact, when Jin Li was still in school and hadn't finished summer vacation, Director Chu had already called other actors together and let them start a two-month special training.

Jin Li knew this news.

Director Chu later asked her if she wanted to join the crew's special training.

But Director Chu's attitude when asking her was not strong, just let her choose for herself.

Director Chu also knew that she was still studying at Qingbei, and her studies were busy, so she couldn't focus on only one thing like other actors.

In his eyes, Jin Li's status is different from other stars.

Other stars count on becoming famous in one battle by relying on a play, so they are willing to put in a lot of effort.

But Jin Li is different. Even if this play flops, it will not affect the industry's judgment on her appeal.

So this play is actually not very important to Jin Li.

Similarly, Director Chu also told Gu Cheng this news.

When Gu Cheng found out, he was still filming in "Desperate Counterattack," so naturally he couldn't join the crew's special training of another play.

And when he came back from school, it was also approaching the final exam.

Gu Cheng didn't want to not go to school once after a semester, and called Director Chu to discuss it, refusing this training.

Like Jin Li, he waited until the final exam was over and the school officially started summer vacation before joining the crew.

Although they refused the two-month pre-group training, both Gu Cheng and Jin Li were not panicked in their hearts.

Jin Li participated in the first part of "Dawn," and knew what the pre-group training was training for.

At the same time, she also knew that her physical condition could not be maintained by day-by-day training.

Just like when she was filming the first part of Dawn, her physical strength was exhausted every time, and she had to seek the method of "video worship" to quickly restore her energy.

So the most important physical training in pre-group training is useless to her, and she still has to rely on gods at critical moments.

In addition, special effects simulation experiments, non-real object performance, special effects device wearing, etc., these she had already explored clearly when she was in the first part of "Dawn."

So for her, there is no need to increase this part of practice, it is better to put time into more valuable learning.

She still has a chance to shoot special effects films in the future, but learning...

She shouldn't go to university a second time.

Jin Li's idea coincided with Gu Cheng's idea.

The reason why Gu Cheng refused was that he had just come out of the big crew of "Desperate Counterattack," a special effects film.

Pre-group training has a relatively weak effect on him.

He just finished the production of a special effects blockbuster, and no one knows better than him how to shoot special effects films. Even if he stayed in school for a month or two, he wouldn't feel rusty.

So after going back and forth, one most important heroine and one relatively critical male second did not join the pre-group training.

Although the personnel participating in the pre-group training were incomplete, to be honest, with two famous stars missing from the training, the pressure on other actors was not so great.

In the evening, Gu Cheng called Jin Li to chat and talked about the arrangements later.

Gu Cheng especially talked about "Dawn 2" which was going to enter the group next Tuesday.

He was more curious about Director Chu's personality.

"When I was filming "Desperate Counterattack," I felt that Director Zheng controlled the filming time very well, but he was very strict in some aspects. What about Director Chu?"

Jin Li recalled the situation of filming "Dawn 1" before, thought for a while, and said:

"I have also been in the "Desperate Counterattack" crew. If I compare Director Zheng and Director Chu, I can only say that Director Chu's requirements will be more harsh."

She explained: "Last time, it was because the male and female leads couldn't enter the play for a long time, and the crew actually stopped work for some days, just to train the male and female leads."

Gu Cheng frowned, "He actually dared to stop..."

Jin Li said firmly: "That's right, he dared to stop work!"

This situation is incredible in other big groups.

Other big groups don't have the manpower, material resources, and time to consume with actors, but it is clear that Director Chu is particularly willing to put effort into cultivating actors.

While filming, he said stop and stop.

Which director has such great courage?

Jin Li said: "Everyone was under great pressure during that time, not only the actors, but also many staff members. They would cry as soon as they arrived at the crew, regardless of men or women.

Although those people were old people who had been following Director Chu, they were still worried that if they stopped like this, the project would not be able to continue."

Gu Cheng was silent for a while and said: "I have a little pity for the state of the male and female leads."

Jin Li smiled: "Yes, the state of the male and female leads was very tight, just like a string pulled tightly, as if it would break if it was used a little more force.

They were very fragile during that time, didn't dare to speak, and everyone seemed to have reached the edge of collapse.

But Director Chu maintained that string dangerously, allowing them to reach the maximum possibility while not being destroyed."

Gu Cheng asked curiously: "Since the male and female leads were pulled for emergency special training, what about you? Did you also participate in that special training?"

Jin Li said calmly: "No."

"I performed very well in special effects processing, and Director Chu thought I didn't need special training, at most doing physical fitness, so when the male and female leads were in special training, I was arranged to shoot other scenes.

But I have many scenes shot with the male and female leads. When they were in special training, I was still quite relaxed."

Gu Cheng pondered: "I don't know if Director Zheng's method of shooting special effects films will be very different from Director Chu's."

He was a little lost, but he didn't regret it.

"I think shooting special effects films is the same, so I refused the in-group training. I originally thought that I had experience and should be able to cope with the shooting, so I wanted to put time into school more.

I didn't expect Director Chu to be so strict. Maybe I should have entered the crew earlier to train."

Jin Li thought for a while and said: "Don't worry so much. Director Zheng is also very willing to cultivate actors. The two have different means in cultivating actors, but the starting point is the same.

If Director Chu really thinks you need pre-group training, he will definitely let you participate, there is no room for negotiation.

Since he gives you a choice, it means he thinks you already have some experience, and you can choose not to."

She said again: "In addition to what I said above, Director Chu and Director Zheng have another difference, that is, his team can shoot while making special effects.

He already has a personal template for shooting commercial films, and the production team following him is also very familiar with Director Chu's film style.

So Director Chu's special effects films, special effects processing are often very fast. Maybe "Dawn 2" is finished and released, "Desperate Counterattack" may have just finished processing the special effects film."

Gu Cheng was surprised: "So fast?"

He just entered the film circle and didn't understand the shooting style of each director.

Jin Li nodded: "It's just so fast, you will be able to experience it later."

Speaking of this, she joked: "The early stage scene and prop production of "Dawn 2" is quite time-consuming. I thought he would drag it until the end of this year or the winter vacation of next year to start filming. I didn't expect that this year's summer vacation could start shooting.

Now I am a little worried. By the time "Dawn 2" is finished and produced, and then released, it will collide with "Desperate Counterattack."

Although "Desperate Counterattack" finished shooting ahead of schedule, it is said that the Oriental ink special effects that Director Zheng wants are very difficult to handle and need a lot of time."

Because the front line is stretched, the two movies are likely to be released in the same period.

This is not good for Jin Li and Gu Cheng, they will fight.

Two works, one is the lead, one is a minor supporting role.

If they really meet and go online together, I don't know which one to promote, and I don't know if the fans can see it.

Gu Cheng's expression became serious when he heard it.

He thought for a while, "Should I urge Director Zheng privately to let him finish processing the special effects quickly, so as not to fight with "Dawn 2"?"

Jin Li: "...Aren't you afraid that Director Zheng will say you are eating inside and out, growing others' ambitions and destroying your own prestige?"

Gu Cheng smiled: "To be honest, Director Zheng actually respects Director Chu quite a bit. If he knows that his film is likely to fight against Director Chu, I think he will most likely choose to postpone the release."

One is a director who has become famous internationally, and one is a reputation that temporarily stays in the country. It is normal for Director Zheng to respect Director Chu.

Jin Li said angrily: "Okay, don't fan the flames on the other side.

News spreads fast among their film directors, and they know many inside news that many of our actors don't know.

Maybe Director Zheng has already received the wind and knows that "Dawn 2" will start shooting this summer."

Gu Cheng thought for a while and felt it was the same, so he didn't remind Director Zheng.

As a result, it was beyond the expectations of the two stars.

Zheng Chengxin... really didn't know that "Dawn 2" was going to start shooting so soon!

Director Zheng has been addicted to the crew's special effects production these days, looking at the effect for a while, urging the progress for a while, and doesn't open his mobile phone to check the news.

Besides, he didn't participate in the investment of "Dawn 2."

Except for someone chatting in some film director groups, who would specifically send a message to remind him that "Dawn 2" is going to be shot.

And group messages, as everyone knows, are all do not disturb.

So when he knew, Jin Li and Gu Cheng had already entered the crew to film.

The reason he knew was because a staff member was chatting curiously, and he heard it.

What they were chatting about was——

"Dawn 2" is actually going to start shooting. I heard that Director Chu's special effects processing is very fast. Will this play be released and fight with us?"

Zheng Chengxin was stunned when he heard it, and stopped the two employees who were discussing.

"What did you just say? "Dawn 2" started shooting, when did it start shooting?"

The employees looked at each other, and one person said: "I only heard that it has started shooting, but I don't know when it started."

Another employee took out his mobile phone and searched, finding key information.

"Director Zheng, "Dawn 2" officially started shooting last month. Jin Li and Gu Cheng have already entered the crew. The media have had relevant news reports, look."

Zheng Chengxin took it and looked, his fingers trembled slightly.

Oh my god, how did Chu Chenliang prepare so fast!

An employee asked curiously: "Director Zheng, I heard that Director Chu is very fast in special effects processing. Do you think "Dawn 2" might be released at the same time as our "Desperate Counterattack"?"

Zheng Chengxin's mouth twitched, and a firm look flashed in his eyes, saying powerfully:

"That is absolutely impossible! Absolutely impossible to collide!"

After speaking, he returned the mobile phone to the employee, hurriedly found others to discuss, and also held an investor conference.

How long the meeting lasted, no one else knew.

What the content of the discussion was, did not spread out.

Anyway, since the end of that meeting, the special effects team only knew that Zheng Chengxin's requirements were more outrageous, outrageous to the point of harshness!

If he was just nitpicking before, staring at a small detail and pointing fingers.

Then now, he is looking at the details of the details with a magnifying glass, looking for thorns!

The special effects team couldn't stand Director Zheng's problems. Looking at his young age, why is he in the late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder?

I really hope he can accept psychiatric treatment soon and stop harming them.

A special effects team member, when hearing Director Zheng's request to further refine the details that had been refined locally, and strive to make every hair appear clearly, finally couldn't help but say:

"Director Zheng, if this continues, special effects processing will be slower. Originally, we set a special effects period of half a year to one year, but you continue to add requirements, it is very likely to take two years!"

Zheng Chengxin heard it, but he was not angry, on the contrary, he was quite happy.

"Two years, okay! Let's work hard to grind it, grind out a boutique!"

Employees saw that Director Zheng was not angry but happy, and they were a little confused about the situation.

They discussed in private: "Director Zheng seems to want to lengthen the special effects production and put in more effort."

"Director Zheng is striving for excellence, building this film as his own pension film, hoping to make money continuously and manage this IP well."

"Director Zheng is so courageous!"

These employees never thought, is there a possibility that Director Zheng just wants to avoid the file of another film.

This is a later story, not to mention for now.

Entering the group next Tuesday, after Jin Li adjusted the announcements, she rarely gave herself three days off to adjust her state.

These three days off were obtained by her reasonable request.

Even if Sister Fang didn't want to, she endured the pain and approved it.

Of course, she couldn't really let Jin Li lie flat happily, but threw Xi Mengze and Qiguan Mingzhu over, let Jin Li enlighten these two love-brained ones.

For these three days, Jin Li just listened to Xi Mengze and Qiguan Mingzhu talk about their love history.

It is said that stars become famous at a young age, and there are some problems in personal habits, comparable to "adult giant babies."

Everything needs others to do, and they can't do anything themselves.

But the history of Pink Girls and March Days obviously does not fit this situation.

Both are famous at a young age, and Pink Girls are members selected from public talent shows.

Everyone is an adult, their personality is fixed, and at that time the national economy had not developed rapidly, and many people were children from poor families, used to suffering since childhood.

For example, the captain Ji Qinglian, the family conditions are very average, hardworking.

As for Jin Li, it goes without saying, an orphan.

And March Days were trainees abroad before their debut in the talent show. At that time, being a trainee had to be endured and suffered.

This also led to them not having so many things to do when they talked about love, and they could understand and understand each other's habits.

Qiguan Mingzhu and Xi Mengze complained to Jin Li, but they complained that they hadn't quarreled once since they were together, is it a bit abnormal.

Jin Li listened with a blank face.

She and Gu Cheng never quarreled either, are they also abnormal. ===== CHAPTER 771 =====
