Chapter 12 The New Year’s Bell (please recommend, please collect~)
"Many elites from aristocratic schools go there, and they make many friends."
"How old are you, and you just want to make friends?" Li Weijie asked, "She has a boyfriend?"
Ayu looked at Pingping, who picked up his schoolbag and walked upstairs: "It's okay if I'm mad at you. If I don't go, my classmates will know that I have two stingy parents."
"Ping Ping, eat your food first!"
"Don't eat..."
"Ka, this part is not good, mediocre, your lines are too gentle and plain." Zhang Hao shouted.
Then he walked to the filming location and told Li Qin, who played the mediocre role, "You are too gentle and your lines are too flat. What should your state of mind be at this time?"
Li Qin replied: "I want to attend the summer camp, but my parents don't give me money, so I can't go, so I'm a little angry."
"That's right. Think about it when you were a child. You wanted toys, but your parents didn't buy them for you. What did you do?" Zhang Hao continued, asking Li Qin to think about it.
"Well, I will probably cry loudly and roll on the floor." Li Qin recalled this when he was a child.
"Okay, but Pingping is not An An. She is in high school and is an older child. Older children at this age will not cry like they did when they were young, but will use verbal confrontation to express their feelings.
Okay, let’s do it again.” Zhang Hao clapped his hands and took another shot, this time the effect was much better.
In the previous movie, the mediocre actress was Chen Chong's daughter, but she couldn't speak Chinese well, and the movie didn't find another voice actor. It was very difficult to listen without reading the subtitles, and it was also very distracting.
If it were Li Qin, this problem would not exist, so Zhang Hao recorded the entire movie live.
Zhang Hao is a director who insists on actors using original lines, mainly because he feels that dubbing is sometimes difficult to match the emotions of the actors themselves when speaking the lines.
But lines are a matter of skill. Many actors perform well, but the lines feel so inconsistent that they have to use dubbing instead.
Fans of some popular idol actors in the past life have boasted about their brother's original lines, which brother's original lines were explosive, and which brother's crying lines were absolutely amazing, etc.
But as long as the audience is not deaf, they can still tell the difference between good and bad lines.
It is estimated that the real actors who play roles for popular idols are in pain. Looking at their wooden acting skills and emotionless lines, they feel that they are insulting the profession of actors.
The most important thing is that this is already a rare quality for these popular idol actors, and then it takes a long time to imagine playing with others before you can get into the mood.
I thought about not taking on such a drama, not acting in such a drama, not playing supporting roles for idols. However, the market is like this and will not accommodate anyone. If you don't accept it, some people will.
If you don't accept it, you won't be able to perform. As time goes by, you'll end up drinking the northwest wind.
Fortunately, in 2008, actors are still actors and their standards are still high.
Needless to say, Guo Tao and Yu Feihong, Xu Qing, who took the initiative to participate, performed very well. The scenes between her and Guo Tao made Zhang Hao very enjoyable.
He is busy filming during the day, and at night Zhang Hao will check the shooting results in the room, hold a small meeting, and arrange the filming content for tomorrow. Occasionally there are night scenes, and it is normal to work overtime.
As the New Year's bell rang, Zhang Hao and producer Liu Hao finished their discussion, looking at the fireworks outside the window, thinking a lot.
"What are you thinking about?" Liu Hao asked with a smile.
"I'm thinking, if Mr. San and Mr. Yu hadn't given me this opportunity, it might have been more than ten or twenty years before I had the opportunity to take charge of the director." Zhang Hao sighed.
Liu Hao laughed and said: "It's meaningless to talk about this issue. You are the director now. The important thing is to grasp the moment and successfully produce this film, so that you can have a better future."
Zhang Hao nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. It's New Year's Day. Let's give the crew a day off to rest. It's been almost a month. It's not good to be stretched all the time."
"Okay, I'll notify you right away..." Liu Hao nodded and agreed.
After Liu Hao left, Zhang Hao continued to be busy at work. After shooting every day, he would work in his room until two o'clock in the middle of the night before resting, and then get up at six or seven in the morning to prepare.
Sometimes there are night shows, and the schedule is quite disordered.
That's what the director's profession is like. It's still a relatively small one, with an investment of 15 million and a crew of less than 100 people. If it were a large crew of several thousand people and an investment of hundreds of millions, that would be the real deal.
It's a lot of pressure.
However, Zhang Hao resolved these pressures very well and dealt with them quite easily.
When Zhang Hao was checking the production schedule, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Zhang Hao walked over and opened the door and saw that it was Xu Qing standing outside the door holding a bottle of red wine.
"Sister Xu, why don't you rest at this late hour?"
"I can't sleep. I want to chat with you. You won't refuse, right?" Xu Qing blinked.
"How come, come in!"
Xu Qing walked into Zhang Hao's room, looked at the messy manuscripts and production schedules on the desk, and smiled: "It's quite hard for you to be busy working so late at night."
"This is my duty, sit wherever you want!" Zhang Hao pointed to the sofa.
His room was a suite, with a living room and a bedroom in the back.
Xu Qing took two glasses from the coffee table next to the sofa, rinsed them with water, wiped them clean, poured the red wine he had brought, and handed a glass to Zhang Hao.
"I'm also curious. You became a director at such a young age. How confident are you in yourself? Do you believe this movie will be successful?" Xu Qing clinked glasses with Zhang Hao, took a sip of red wine, and asked.
Zhang Hao replied: "As for confidence, you must have it. Without this confidence, I wouldn't be a director.
But I’m not sure whether the movie will be successful. I just know that if I don’t try, I will never have a chance of success.”
Xu Qing chuckled and said, "I have worked with so many directors, and you are the most special one."
"It's an award. Every director has his own style. I don't want to be anyone, I am myself." Zhang Hao said.
"It's best to be yourself, so why did you want to be a director in the first place?"
"I have a family background. I grew up in the Beijing Film Studio, which inspired my interest in movies.
When I was a kid, I watched a movie called "Terminator 2" and I decided to be a director and make science fiction films." Zhang Hao said that he became a director.
"Sister, I also worked at the Beijing Film Studio. At that time, I was in the Beijing Film Studio Repertory Theater. We can be considered a family.
Come, have a drink." Xu Qing smiled and toasted to Zhang Hao, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Xu Qing didn't stay long after that. After chatting with Zhang Hao for a while, he excused himself from being too drunk and went back to the room to rest.
Zhang Hao didn't send Xu Qing back to the room, seeing that she would go back by herself. He had reason to suspect that Xu Qing wanted to eat young grass, but Zhang Hao was not interested in her.
Besides, he is just a young man now. He is making a movie with an uncertain future, and there is a possibility that he will be thrown into the street at any time. Let’s talk about handsomeness. There are many handsome guys in the industry, and he is not the least of them. Why should Xu Qing be so handsome?
Interested in him?
Maybe Zhang Hao is overthinking it. After all, men will always like eighteen-year-old girls, but women may not necessarily like young boys.
After the New Year's bell, it's 2009. Looking back on 2008, there is sadness, loss, emotion, regret, happiness, and excitement.
But for Zhang Hao, 2008 was the day he set sail. He officially entered the film and television industry and became a genuine director.
This first step is the most critical. "Manslaughter" carries Zhang Hao's hope and cannot be missed.
