Chapter 13 Come, let me discuss the script with you
playground, shooting location
Wei Yang, who had just finished shooting his solo scene, was still wearing a military training uniform and immediately entered the state of executive producer.
"The formation spreads out, and those holding props must align."
"Listen to the command and try not to move. Let's rehearse it first."
"Brother Fu (assistant director), you are watching from below."
"..."
It is common for small-budget crews to have too few people and many things to do, and the division of duties and responsibilities is not careful. The set manager becomes an extra, the assistant director also serves as the set manager, and the producer does the work of the assistant director.
We are shooting a group scene at the moment, because we have to hold up signs according to the formation, and we have to rehearse before the official shooting starts. If the director doesn't keep an eye on it personally, then Wei Yang and the assistant director will have to direct it.
"Girls stand together. Xiao Zhao, who is short, comes to the front. Sister Rong, please squeeze to the side..."
Wei Yang stood on the podium, shouting with a loudspeaker against the sun, his mouth went dry, and he experienced the sadness of a military training instructor.
Wei Yang is the screenwriter and second male lead of the crew. It doesn't matter to the staff behind the scenes. At most, he can't be offended.
"The day I left you, the gray dream slept beside me..."
Zhao Liying took out the ice cream with a shy face, and then explained.
For an ordinary lunch box priced at 10 yuan, it is not impossible to actually buy it for 8 yuan or even 6 yuan, as long as it does not arouse public outrage.
Seeing Wei Yang and Xiao Zhao, the charming girl Shen Tiantian felt a little embarrassed and gently broke away from Zheng Zheng's hand.
Every time Li Jiahang returned to his room at night, he would scold the logistics staff for their evil intentions, and Wei Yang remembered this.
"Okay, it's almost done, let's put the food on."
But for some people, even a dime less than the standard 35-yuan lunch box is not enough, and even the logistics will secretly increase it to the 50-yuan standard.
This is not surprising. Screenwriters do not need to know too much to write scripts. Ask experts frequently. As long as there are no errors or omissions in common sense, everyone will turn a blind eye.
In terms of their understanding of the script, the entire crew definitely respected Wei Yang. Xiao Zhao also had a certain level of trust in Wei Yang and readily followed Wei Yang to the parking lot.
After Li Jiahang and others came over and sat down, Wei Yang introduced them to the photographer who didn't know much about the situation.
But if he becomes the executive producer, directly controls the real power, and is trusted by Liu and Sun, the two big bosses of the production team, then it is completely different.
"Xiao Wei, it's okay."
After dinner, a few people got together and started playing cards. Wei Yang found it too noisy, so he wandered back to the car to take a nap.
It goes without saying that this Shen Tiantian is the actor who plays the second female lead Jiang Niannian in "The Best of Us". He is a former model, Director Zheng's new favorite, and the crew's biggest connection.
Several people on the stage laughed. Fan Ming, who played the role of the dean, asked: "I think the script was very good. Yu Huai used mathematical formulas to direct. Why didn't you just use it?"
Copying songs is much easier than copying scripts. Come up with a few hit songs for future generations, and then find an A-list star. If you form a South
Woolen cloth.
As a result, as soon as the two got off the car, they bumped into Zheng Dong getting out of a Land Rover with a girl with enchanting eyebrows in his arms, and they happened to meet each other.
This 1,800 yuan is not easy to earn, but it can make Wei Yang live comfortably on the crew...
Of course, this has an impact on the setting of the characters. It is difficult to decide which one is better between Yuanyuan and Xiao Suo. It still needs to be discussed, and Wei Yang did not tell Zhao Liying.
Wei Yang thought that if he invited someone over this time, he would take the opportunity to treat him to a meal as a thank you. If the crew could reimburse him, the quality would be higher.
"Thank you, Brother Lu."
Thinking of this, Wei Yang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He was so tired and stunned that he actually wrote such a third-rate rubbish online article...
Wei Yang: "..."
Everyone understood, and the photographer smiled and recognized Li Jiahang as fellow Northeastern fellows. Next time this happens, even if Wei Yang is not around, they will not all be left standing around.
After several contacts, it was sometimes difficult for him to connect this somewhat silly little girl with the beautiful and beautiful flower.
Liu Junjie suddenly thought of something: "There are still a lot of classroom scenes, what will we do then?"
"It's hard to earn 1,800."
The photographer pulled Wei Yang to sit down and pushed his lunch box: "Try, try the authentic Harbin red sausage sent from my hometown."
Wei Yang opened the lunch box. Unlike other cast and crew members who were charged 10 yuan for a meat and a vegetarian meal, his lunch box was two meat and two vegetarian dishes + a large chicken drumstick + a drink. The meal price was 35 yuan, but the actual price may be more.
"Why don't you get into my car? It has air conditioning and I can explain it to you if you don't understand."
The place is not big, and there are not many seats where you can sit directly. They are all occupied by a few people in charge of the crew or old people. The main actors except for the male and female protagonists and other important roles have seats. Many supporting actors can only stand, or
Go further to a shady area.
There is no need to point it out, it has an open ending, just hint it, giving Lu Xinghe a relatively happy ending.
"Okay, originally in the play it was just preliminary training, as long as the posture is correct."
"Jiahang, Xinzi, Yixiao, Zhao Ji, come this way."
Director Zheng didn't care about this at all, he just looked at Zhao Liying with interest and winked at Wei Yang.
"I'll study the script and there will be a play for me the day after tomorrow."
The more we chatted, the more excited we became, and a lot of inspiration arose. I wondered if I could add some drama to make this character more fleshed out.
"You're welcome."
"Woo woo (Brother Yang)."
Turning the corner and arriving at the parking lot, Wei Yang suddenly saw Zhao Liying, who was squatting under the shade of a tree reading a script with an ice cream stick in her mouth.
"Sit, sit, sit. Don't worry about him. He was very tired just now. He has had enough rest."
After rehearsing several times and taking shape, Liu Junjie came out of the shadows to take a look.
Although she has acted in movies, she has never received any systematic training and has always figured out wild ways on her own. Now that she has little experience, Wei Yang's guidance still helps her a lot.
Wei Yang didn't fool her either. He sacrificed half an hour's nap time to sort out the role of Zhu Ling for Zhao Liying.
Translated, I am the one covering these people, so everyone can give them some face in the future.
The director nodded and started filming. The plot was about a bet between the male protagonist and the dean. The former used mathematical theory to direct the students who were originally in chaos to complete the team list, pretending to be a little pussy, and also paved the way for the male protagonist.
Science talent.
"These are my college classmates who have a very good relationship."
After the filming of this scene was completed, Wei Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The second male lead has no human rights. I queued up for him, but I let Brother Peng pretend."
Wei Yang chatted and laughed with the people in charge of photography, recording, and makeup. Some people were preparing for preliminary work and left first to make a few empty seats. Wei Yang waved to Li Jiahang and the others not far away.
Wei Yang didn't seem to see the two people's movements at all, and said hello calmly.
Wei Yang was speechless and explained: "Dr. Zheng, Xiao Zhao doesn't understand a bit. I was just chatting with her about the script in the car."
"I can't."
Wei Yang hummed the now popular "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", feeling a little regretful that he was not a singer in his previous life.
"Director Zheng, Sister Shen."
I have never eaten pork, and I have never seen a pig run away.
During the Weiyang school team competition, he once played against Jiaotong University. At that time, he deliberately got to know two girls from Jiaotong University. When writing a script, he would ask for advice if he encountered someone he didn't understand.
"Brother Wang from our logistics team graduated from the 211 University. It's not too difficult and he can solve all the problems. If we really can't bring in foreign aid, I have two friends from the National Chiao Tung University."
"Call me when work starts."
In addition to sorting out the characters, Wei Yang also taught Zhao Liying how to write character biographies, so that he can experience the character more comprehensively and three-dimensionally.
The others breathed a sigh of relief, took their lunch boxes and started to eat on the ground. Wei Yang also had to supervise the arrangement of the meals and ask people not to litter.
Liu Junjie re-watched the finished product and felt that there was no need to shoot anymore, so the crew took a break to eat.
Logistics is complicated, and there are many tricks that can be operated, but the prerequisite is to understand the rules.
"What are you looking at?"
As for the other actors, they can only continue to wait for empty seats.
"I haven't touched this braised pork. You guys can try it. I can't finish it myself."
"I can just eat standing up."
Although the girls were a bit doubtful about life when a handsome guy asked for his phone number and ended up asking math and physics questions every day, they were still willing to help every time.
Most of the actors are newcomers, few are well-known, and the veteran cast members are not used to it at all.
Wei Yang complained, finally took a box lunch and went to the rest area in the shade.
Wei Yang had no choice. His ability was limited, so he couldn't drive everyone away. He could only pick up those close to him and take care of them first.
"Director Liu, what do you think?"
Even their acting teacher praised Wei Yang for being good at figuring out the characters and acting with strong character details.
So much so that every time they meet, Zhao Liying's aura of being a big star in her previous life keeps breaking in his heart!
Anyway, it was a hot day and I didn’t have much appetite. He still had a big chicken drumstick, and there were always people stuffing snacks into him wherever he went, so he set aside a portion of the meat and vegetables and divided it among a few people as a token of appreciation.
By the time they finished chatting about the biographies, it was almost time, so Wei Yang and Zhao Liying were ready to go to the scene.
As an actor, Wei Yang is a newcomer and may not have enough technical skills, but he knows how to create characters from the perspective of a screenwriter + an actor, which is his biggest advantage.
You can't just write a crime movie. The screenwriter has to commit his own cases to get a feel for it...
For example, is it possible to be involved with Lu Xinghe? Lu Xinghe has been waiting for ten years, and Zhu Ling has been secretly in love with Lu Xinghe for ten years. After Lu Xinghe was rejected, looking back at the past, there was still someone waiting for him.
But when he saw Wei Yang coming, the photographer kicked his apprentice and asked him to give up his seat: "I didn't see Brother Yang coming. I don't have the eyesight to see."
Wei Yang complained: "I am a liberal arts student, and I asked my high school classmates for a lot of the science content here."
"Don't just read the script, think about the character's habits, daily life, and experiences outside of the script. When you flesh out all these details, you will have completely understood the character."
Wei Yang couldn't hold back his curiosity and stepped forward to ask. The latter looked up, startled, and said hello without even taking out the ice cream on his lips.
The crew's ordinary lunch box is really average, with green pepper shredded pork + tomatoes and eggs. You can count the shredded pork and eggs on both hands.
Zhao Liying benefited a lot from Wei Yang's words.
After explaining to Li Jiahang who was being dragged to play cards, Wei Yang walked towards the parking place. Lou Yixiao wanted to follow, but Zhao Ji next to him was too embarrassed to speak.
Wei Yang looked at the environment, so he said it was under the shade of a tree, but the air was still very hot. Zhao Liying was eating ice cream, and there was a slight sweat on her forehead.
"Yeah, yeah."
Director Zheng looked like he had learned some knowledge and nodded repeatedly: "Sister Shen and I were discussing the script just now. My dear, it's so hot today that we were sweating from the discussion."
