Chapter 669: Rectify the atmosphere

~14 min read 2,737 words

Ma Mingqi's worry was still very reasonable.

Because after filming started in the afternoon, the director, who was originally very gentle, changed his style and was very strict with them.

The director could do NG three times for the same scene for Jin Li, so he would be even less polite to these supporting roles.

In one scene, Ma Mingqi was NG 10 times directly, his psychological pressure was huge, and he was almost cried by the director.

The reason why it is said to be "made" instead of "scolded".

It is because Director Xu did not scold him throughout the whole process, but the vocabulary he spat out was not as good as directly scolding him as a fool, which made him accept it more.

"Ma Mingqi, I want you to express shock, not to let you act in an exaggerated comedy. Why are you staring with big eyes?"

"Ma Mingqi, besides staring and pouting, can you have other acting skills?"

"Ma Mingqi, the movie lens will enlarge your subtle expressions. I want you to perform more delicately."

"Ma Mingqi..."

Ma Mingqi was already crying, he wanted to go to the toilet to be quiet.

When he couldn't hold his emotions, Director Xu finally waved his hand mercifully, "Rest for 10 minutes first, everyone adjust again."

Ma Mingqi immediately ran to the toilet.

But although Director Xu said to rest, he didn't rest himself, but found the screenwriter.

"I feel that the lines Ma Mingqi said are a bit wrong. You see if you can change them. The lines he said are too sloppy. I hope they can be more philosophical?"

The screenwriter was confused: "Ma Mingqi's setting is a poor student, it's normal to speak sloppily."

Director Xu: "I know, but don't you think that sometimes poor students look at things, but they can see through the essence at a glance? Sometimes what they say can hit the point.

I want to shape him into a poor student who, although his grades are very poor, his poorness is seeing through the impermanence of the world and deciding to rot."

The screenwriter thought carefully and felt it made sense, and after such a modification, Ma Mingqi's character would be even more interesting.

This is like many dog-headed military advisors. They haven't been in love, but they give ideas to those friends who are in love, which is very reasonable, as if they have turned into love masters.

Some things are often "the authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear." Who says poor students can't see through reality?

And poor students who see through reality, their choice to give up on themselves often stems from not being confident enough, thinking they can't do it.

Since they can't do it, it's better to rot.

This is also a bit like a very popular saying on the Internet:

Anyway, you will be a security guard in a few decades, so it's better to be a security guard as soon as you graduate, and you can accumulate seniority in one step.

While the screenwriter was thinking about how to change the script, Director Xu called the lighting engineer again.

"Ma Mingqi's bare face is too ugly after removing makeup. Can you think of a way to beautify it?"

The lighting engineer heard it and said directly: "It's not simple to want to become beautiful, one white covers a hundred ugliness!

If you can't beautify it through makeup, you can only hit a little more light on him, but then he will become whiter than Jin Li, okay?"

Director Xu thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, anyway, Ma Mingqi's setting is a salted fish who can't lift shoulders or carry hands. As a salted fish, he looks a bit weak and delicate, so it's quite normal to be whiter. He is also a otaku who likes to play computer."

On the other side.

Ma Mingqi was a bit uncomfortable here.

He stood in front of the washbasin for a while, feeling that his emotions had calmed down, before walking out.

Wang Hongdou was already waiting outside.

Ma Mingqi originally thought she was here to laugh at him, but didn't expect her to encourage him.

"Ma Mingqi, just being said a few words by the director, don't give up."

Ma Mingqi nodded.

Wang Hongdou: "It's only the first day of filming now. If you can't stand it now, you will be replaced by the director immediately. I don't want the agent to have to rack his brains to find work for you, after all, it's almost Chinese New Year."

Ma Mingqi: "... Can't you spit out some good words from your dog's mouth?"

Wang Hongdou shrugged: "Who let my NG count be less than yours."

She didn't know what she thought of, and said: "Do you really watch the online classes Luo Fan ge sent you? I watched it yesterday, and the methods taught by the teacher can be used today."

Ma Mingqi was speechless.

He said with a blushing face: "I was called to play games last night, just hanging on the duration, didn't watch."

Wang Hongdou looked at him speechlessly, "Hurry up and make up for it tonight. If you don't work hard, I feel you will be replaced by the crew. Look at Jin Li Fang Jie, the director dares to NG even her, and won't be soft-hearted to replace us."

The atmosphere in the crew changed all of a sudden, even these small supporting roles could feel it, let alone the staff in the crew.

Directors generally like to cooperate with fixed filming teams, so this time the team cooperating with Director Xu was also the same team.

This team followed him to film three youth movies and also had experience cooperating with top traffic stars.

That night, these staff members gathered together to discuss Director Xu's strictness today.

"Living long and seeing, this is the first time I've seen him lose his temper and treat those unknown small actors strictly."

"Yes, and he doesn't call us to run to coax Jin Li when we are free. Could it be that he was warned by Jin Li's team?"

"Don't know, didn't you find that Jin Li was NG by him? So brave, he didn't dare to use this method to deal with those top traffic stars before!"

"Blind guess he won't last long, he will be under pressure from capital, I guess a week."

"I guess three days!"

"I guess ten days!"

Days passed by, Director Xu became more and more proficient in filming, and had some insights, making more demands on actors.

And the investors that the staff guessed would put pressure on Director Xu, making Director Xu not dare to be strict with Jin Li, did not happen for a long time.

Unknowingly, the crew had been filming diligently for half a month.

It was Jin Li who asked for leave from the crew and needed to return to school to take the final exam, so these staff members came back to their senses.

"Eh, Jin Li didn't lose her temper?"

"Eh, Director Xu actually stood up!"

"Eh, why hasn't capital replaced Director Xu yet?"

"Wait, it seems this drama will be filmed very exquisitely!"

Unknowingly, even the staff of the crew were full of confidence in this drama.

And this kind of confidence was not brought by popular stars like Jin Li, but by the director.

When the director doesn't rot, the staff can feel that he sincerely wants to film a good work.

And after Jin Li left, Director Xu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, complaining to his screenwriter partner:

"This ancestor finally left. Every time I go to the crew to film, I feel terrified, afraid that I can't think of how to let her perform!"

The screenwriter smiled and said: "Is it? But I see you filming quite happily."

Director Xu grinned and laughed: "I didn't expect this actor to do what she said and really cooperate with me.

Worthy of being a top traffic star who can kill out in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry, she is a real idol. I haven't met such an actor for a long time, and I also want to exert her talent."

The screenwriter thought of the night half a month ago when Sui Sui Lingfang and Jin Li knocked on their door.

It was a dark and windy late night.

They were so scared that they almost didn't sleep all night.

Jin Li made several requests in front of her agent and the two of them.

First, don't treat her as a top traffic star. Before becoming a top traffic star, she is an actor first.

Second, the scenes filmed every day must be NG three times. The director must make demands on her from different angles, so that she can more deeply understand the character setting.

Third, she is seriously studying the script. If she perceives that the director is very perfunctory, she doesn't mind changing a director.

The above three points, she finished speaking and left.

She didn't give the director face in action, but the requirements in her words gave the director enough authority.

After Jin Li left, the agent stayed behind to fill in.

Sui Sui Lingfang smiled and said: "Everyone, forgive me. Jin Li is still young and speaks relatively straightforwardly, but her original intention is good. She is also for the sake of this crew that she made these three requests."

Director Xu and the screenwriter looked at each other. Since the agent said so, what else could they say?

Could it be that they tell Jin Li not to be nosy and give up the control of the crew that was delivered to the door?

Besides, with Jin Li's current fame, if she really feels that this drama is filmed badly, it is definitely a matter of changing people.

Director Xu was able to grab the filming rights of this drama because he started first, and he had experience in filming youth films and had collaborated with top traffic stars!

But the biggest selling point of this drama is still Jin Li. Changing the director is just a matter of one sentence.

Director Xu said politely: "Where, where, Jin Li is very professional, she made these requests for the good of the crew."

The screenwriter also said: "She values this drama more than I imagined, which makes me full of passion."

Sui Sui Lingfang said harmoniously: "You have worked hard in filming. Chenxi Entertainment will come to visit the crew from time to time, bring you delicious food, thank you."

Director Xu's heart skipped a beat.

These words sound good, isn't it warning him that Chenxi Entertainment will come to the crew to stare from time to time, and if he doesn't do well, he will be replaced at any time.

The memory ends.

The screenwriter looked at Director Xu and said: "Anyway, you film this drama well. It's rare to meet an artist who cooperates with the crew so much, and there are so many topics on her.

As long as it is filmed well, the box office is not worried, and our income can be guaranteed. There is also a part of our box office dividends!"

Director Xu's expression was solemn, and he said: "Must do my best!"

Although Jin Li asked for leave and left the crew, the director was still very strict with the actors, and the staff of the crew did not dare to slack off.

The only good thing is that because everyone's efficiency during the day is very high, they basically don't need to stay up late to catch the night scene, which is a little comfort in the busyness.

At the same time, Jin Li returned to school to take the exam.

She finished the questions very easily and ran to chat with the professors again.

A professor wanted to take her abroad for cultural exchange during the winter vacation, but after asking, he knew she was going to film in the country, which was very regrettable.

"Then tell me when you finish filming. Maybe I can take you with me. After all, the exchange day hasn't been set yet!"

Jin Li smiled and said okay.

After she left the professor's office, other professors in the department asked one after another: "Why do you always like to take Jin Li out? Can you enjoy any privileges?"

The professor replied: "Jin Li is very low-key when going out. Even if there are paparazzi following, she won't come up to disturb. Taking her is very safe.

In addition, Jin Li learns very solidly, memorizing many philosophical thoughts. If you test her casually, you have never seen her unable to answer. Taking her is like taking an encyclopedia.

With such an almost all-around disciple, if it were you, would you take her?"

The professor who asked the question thought for a while and said enviously: "Definitely take her!"

After Jin Li finished the exam, she met with Gu Cheng and went to the canteen for the last time this semester.

After Gu Cheng finished the exam, he would join the crew with her.

His scenes were not as many as the heroine's, so he didn't ask for leave for half a month and spent a relaxed time fishing in school.

Jin Li was quite envious of his leisurely state. She felt that Gu Cheng really lived a retirement life, stayed in school for a long time, and received fewer announcements than her.

She asked: "What will you do after you finish filming?"

Gu Cheng: "Should be on the Spring Festival Gala."

Jin Li was stunned, "Spring Festival Gala? Isn't this supposed to have started preparations long ago?"

This year's Chinese New Year is relatively late, only in mid-February. The Spring Festival Gala generally starts preparing programs in October, and then constantly rehearses, sets makeup, and sets programs.

Gu Cheng: "It seems that a male actor was investigated and found to have some problems, so the director group of the Spring Festival Gala urgently found Guang ge, wanting all members of Sanyuetian to sing on the Spring Festival Gala."

Jin Li: "Since they found you, then you should start rehearsing soon, right?"

Gu Cheng: "Originally, it was said a few days ago that there would be a rehearsal, but later it was cancelled, saying that the program list had changed, and it seemed that our chorus had been taken away, so whether we can be on the Spring Festival Gala is still waiting for notification."

Jin Li thought of netizens' complaints about the annual Spring Festival Gala and smiled: "If you don't break up your programs, but go on together, netizens should be looking forward to it."

Since the four members of Sanyuetian established Guangyue Media, they have all been running personal businesses and rarely have the opportunity to be in the same frame.

Their group fans discuss when they will be together from time to time, and then rush to the hot search.

Gu Cheng also smiled: "I hope we can really be together successfully, but I think it's more likely that our program will be taken away."

Later, Jin Li heard the latest progress from Gu Cheng's mouth.

The director group of the Spring Festival Gala did take away the program of Sanyuetian singing together.

But!

The director group split them up and mixed them into four different programs.

Chen Lin, who has a talent for comedy, went to perform sketches, Yan Yan Xingdong was stuffed into the chorus, Luo Yi was stuffed into dancing, and Gu Cheng was stuffed into cooperating with magic performances.

Sanyuetian:...

Sanyuetian's group fans:...

Who came up with the genius idea of splitting the team, thinking that if they do this, they will watch the whole process!!

Alright, in order to see their own brothers, they will indeed watch the whole process.

_(: 3"∠)_

After Jin Li finished the exam, she returned to the crew.

Under her strict requirements, the atmosphere of the crew became more and more upward. Even Gu Cheng, who had just joined the crew, could perceive that everyone had high requirements for themselves.

This almost made him think he had entered the crew of some big director.

But to be honest, such a crew atmosphere is really comfortable to film, and there is no need to worry about trouble.
