Chapter 770: Chat before entering the crew

~15 min read 2,818 words

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

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

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

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

Seeing Jin Li knew this news.

Director Chu also asked her later whether she wanted to join the crew 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 do only one thing like other actors.

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

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

But Seeing 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 Seeing Jin Li.

Similarly, Director Chu also told Gu Cheng this news.

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

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

Gu Cheng didn't want to go to school once after a semester, so he called Director Chu to discuss it again and refused this training.

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

Although he refused the two-month pre-crew training, whether it was Gu Cheng or Seeing Jin Li, their hearts were not panicked.

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

At the same time, she also knew that her physical condition was not something that could be maintained by day-to-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 worshiping gods" to quickly restore her energy.

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

In addition, special effects simulation experiments, non-physical performances, special effects device wearing, etc., she had already explored all of these 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 will have opportunities to shoot special effects films in the future, but learning...

She shouldn't go to university a second time.

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

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

The effect of pre-crew training on him was relatively weak.

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

So after a while, one was the most important heroine, and the other was a relatively key male second, neither of whom joined the pre-crew training.

Although the personnel participating in the pre-crew training were incomplete, to be honest, with two big-name stars missing from the training, the pressure on other actors was not that great.

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

Gu Cheng especially talked about "Dawn 2" which was entering the crew 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?"

Seeing 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, the crew actually stopped work for some days, just to specifically train the male and female leads."

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

Seeing Jin Li said firmly: "Yes, he dared to stop work!"

This situation is incredible in other big groups.

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

While filming, he said stop and stop.

Which director has such great courage?

Seeing Jin Li said: "During that time, everyone's pressure was particularly great, not only actors, but also many staff members. They would cry as soon as they arrived at the crew, regardless of men and women.

Although those people were old people who had always followed Director Chu, they were still worried that if they continued to stop like this, this project would not be able to be filmed."

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

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

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 taken for emergency special training, what about you? Did you also participate in that special training?"

Seeing Jin Li said calmly: "No."

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

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

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

"I think shooting special effects films is connected, so I refused the in-crew 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 for training."

Seeing 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 of cultivating actors, but the starting point is the same.

If Director Chu really thinks you need pre-crew training, he will definitely let you participate, there is no discussion.

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

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

He already has a personal template for shooting commercial films, and the production team that follows him is also very familiar with Director Chu's movie 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 special effects processing."

Gu Cheng was surprised: "So fast?"

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

Seeing Jin Li nodded: "It's just so fast, you will realize it later."

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

Now I am a little worried instead. After 'Dawn 2' is filmed and produced, and then released, it will collide with the file of 'Desperate Counterattack'.

Although 'Desperate Counterattack' finished filming ahead of schedule, it is said that the Oriental ink special effects that Director Zheng wants are difficult to handle and require 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 Seeing Jin Li and Gu Cheng, they will fight.

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

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

Gu Cheng heard this, his expression became serious.

He thought for a while, "Why don't I urge Director Zheng in private to let him finish the special effects quickly, so as not to fight with 'Dawn 2'?"

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

Gu Cheng smiled: "To tell you the truth, 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 the other is a director whose reputation is temporarily only in the country. It is normal for Director Zheng to respect Director Chu.

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

News between their movie directors spreads fast, and they also know inside information that many of our actors don't know.

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

Gu Cheng thought about it and felt it was the same. He still 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 filming so soon!

Director Zheng has been addicted to crew 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 much.

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

Except for people chatting in some movie director groups, who would specifically send messages to remind him that "Dawn 2" is going to be filmed.

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

So by the time he knew, Seeing 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 was heard by him.

What they were chatting about was--

"'Dawn 2' is actually going to start filming. 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 called the two employees who were discussing.

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

The employees looked at each other, and one person said: "I only heard that it has started filming, 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 filming last month. Seeing 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 particularly fast in special effects processing. Do you think there is a possibility that 'Dawn 2' will be released in the same period 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, hurried to discuss with others, and held an investor conference.

How long the meeting lasted, others didn't know.

What the content of the discussion was, it didn't spread out either.

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, picking thorns!

The special effects team couldn't bear 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 mental treatment quickly and stop harming them.

A special effects team member, when hearing Director Zheng's request to further refine the details that had already 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 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, grind out a boutique!"

The 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 special effects production and put more effort into it."

"Director Zheng is striving for excellence, treating this film as his own retirement film, hoping to earn money continuously and operate this IP well."

"Director Zheng is really too courageous!"

These employees never thought about whether there is 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 crew next Tuesday, after Seeing Jin Li adjusted the announcement, she rarely gave herself three days off to adjust her state.

This three-day holiday was 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 Seeing Jin Li lie flat happily, but threw Xi Sister Meng Ze and Qiguan Mingzhu over, letting Seeing Jin Li enlighten these two love-brained ones.

Seeing Jin Li spent these three days just listening to Xi Sister Meng Ze and Qiguan Mingzhu talk about their love history.

They all say that stars become famous at a young age, and they have some problems in personal habits, comparable to "adult giant babies".

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

But the history of the rise of Pink Girl and March Sky clearly does not meet the above situation.

Both are famous at a young age, and Pink Girl is selecting members from public talent shows.

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

For example, Captain Ji Qinglian, family conditions are very average, eating bitterness and working hard.

As for Seeing Jin Li, needless to say, she is an orphan.

And March Sky was a trainee abroad before the talent show debut. At that time, being a trainee had to be boiled and had to eat bitterness.

This also led to them not having so many things to make monsters when they fell in love, and they could understand and understand each other's habits.

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

Seeing Jin Li listened with a blank face.

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