I didn’t have time to finish writing, so I uploaded the first draft and corrected some typos and wrong sentences. I’ll read it again tomorrow morning. Sorry.
…………
At ten o'clock in the morning, the opening ceremony ended, and other actors in the crew who did not have roles could go back to the hotel to rest for the time being.
As for those who needed to shoot the first scene, a few people started to touch up their makeup, and the crew started to get really busy and get ready to start filming.
The scene to be filmed in the morning is divided into two parts. The first part is to film Sisi's one-man show in the sedan chair.
The other scene to be filmed was at the gate of Shen's Mansion. It was the scene at the end of the first episode when Fang Yishao arrived at the gate of Shen's Mansion in a sedan chair, and then Shen Yong reluctantly went to pick up the bride.
In this episode, Zhong Yunqing planned to personally control the camera and manipulate Sisi in the sedan chair just like Jiang Jiaen did in her previous life.
So the first scene was filmed at the entrance of Shen's mansion.
The camera was still being adjusted at this moment, and Zhong Yunqing listened to Director Li's various voices urging the staff to speed up the process.
He first walked around the various functional departments like an inspector, lighting, recording, and even the security guard responsible for stopping tourists at the periphery inspected the area and found nothing unusual.
Then he walked up to Sisi with nothing to do, ready to train the girl and talk to her about things that need to be paid attention to during the shooting.
Not to mention, the way Zhong Yunqing talks about the drama seriously is indeed a bit like a director.
As a result, when he went over, he saw that Sisi was not studying how to film the first scene, but was discussing with Ying Bao and the others whether they should go to Sister Lu's "Jinyiwei" to eat mutton together after work was over.
It's no wonder, after all, there are no lines in this part of the plot, she only has a few actions, and then she is dragged into the Shen Mansion by Zhong Yunqing.
"Oh, Sisi, we really have to stay here and eat box lunches with you later! I don't like eating box lunches! I want to eat meat!"
"Yes, yes, we eat box lunches every day when we are playing small roles. Even if Lao Zhong is generous, isn't it still a box lunch? I have no appetite." Mao Xiaotong also had a disgusted expression and was picky about food like Ying Bao.
Zhang Jianing was okay. Her good-natured nature made it easy for her to adapt to the environment. However, none of the little sisters were willing to eat the box lunch, and she didn't raise any objections. She just nodded along with the crowd, saying that she didn't want to eat either. box lunch.
"Now it's three to one, you have to listen to us. Let's do this. After you finish work, we can go to Sister Lu's place to eat delicious food!"
"Go to Sister Lu's place..."
When Sisi heard Ying Bao mentioning this boss lady with a good figure and good looks, her expression suddenly became strange. However, her expression control was pretty good, and the little sisters didn't notice anything unusual.
Then he smiled slightly and said:
"Okay, then you guys just wait here for me. I'll go with you after taking off my makeup."
Then she saw Zhong Yunqing walking over. Sisi's expression changed and she started waving from a distance of more than ten meters. Then when he came closer, she stood up and took his arm and said coquettishly:
"Lao Zhong, how about we skip the box lunch for a while? After work, we go to Sister Lu's place to eat grilled fish and mutton...We haven't eaten in a long time, I wonder."
As a result, Zhong Yunqing actually shook his head slightly in confusion.
"On the first day of official filming, as the director, I should stay with my crew to "share the joys and sorrows." So I won't go with you for a while, and you guys can go."
In the end, of course Sisi still refused. She shook his arm again.
"No, you go with us. If you don't go, who will pay for it later."
Hey, what Sisi said was extremely reasonable!
Zhong Yunqing smiled and didn't know how to reply to her. A female star with a net worth of tens of millions was reluctant to spend money when she went out to eat in a small restaurant that cost only 180 yuan. This is also a bit of "little rich woman poetry"
Style?
Before Zhong Yunqing could react, Sisi pouted and changed into a slightly embarrassed expression:
"We really have no money! We left the hotel in such a hurry just now that we didn't even bring our satchel or wallet."
"That's right, Director Zhong, we really didn't bring any money. We can't go to Sister Lu's place to open a small stove at this time. We don't have the energy to shoot in the afternoon!"
Ying Bao also helped, causing Zhang Jianing and Mao Xiaotong to nod slightly.
At this time, the girls must of course unite with Sisi and work together to defeat the rich.
After all, the happiest thing is to take advantage of the meal! If you don’t do it, you won’t do it in vain.
Zhong Yunqing didn't know that they had tricked him, and he was immediately defeated by these girls. These girls, Qingqing, didn't want to have dinner with him, but just regarded him as a mobile payment wallet?
Even Sisi, a carefree girl, thinks so.
However, he still felt that it was not good for him to go out and let the crew eat lunch. So he shook his head slightly and continued:
"How about I ask the little fat guy to call Sister Lu and agree to order some of her mutton and grilled fish meals and pack them for you? Is that okay?"
"No! If you don't eat these dishes in Jinyiwei, you won't be able to eat your soul!"
After Sisi finished speaking, she was about to continue talking when she heard Director Li's voice coming from the speaker:
"Everyone, get ready, the shooting will start in five minutes."
Director Li's shout came, and Zhao Liying and the other girls who had not been filming in the morning also stopped. Especially when they saw the actors who acted as bearers, the extras who played gongs and drums in the wedding procession, and the matchmakers and maids.
They gathered together. They also quickly prepared to run away and go to the outside to join the crowd.
As a result, Zhong Yunqing didn't leave. Anyway, there were still five minutes left. He took a step forward, then stretched out his hand desperately, hooked Sisi's crotch with his index finger and middle finger, and said:
"Madam, you see we are about to start filming. So can you call me 'Msang-in-law' first and listen..."
When Sisi saw how immoral this guy suddenly was, she immediately became itchy with hatred!
But now that there are so many people, she still has to pay attention to her "lady image". So she won't beat him up now, and will settle the score with him when she goes back.
So the girl just rolled her eyes and replied with a look of disgust:
"Aren't you going to shout during filming? Why are you in a hurry? Go back and get ready."
Is Zhong Yunqing so easy to get rid of? This guy dares to come here shamelessly, isn't it because of his "bad taste"?
So he habitually began to quibble:
"Can it be the same? We haven't started filming yet. We are calling each other to show our affection. This is when it really comes from the heart. If you start calling 'Ms.' after a while of filming, it's just in the plot.
, it doesn’t count!”
After saying this, Zhong Yunqing said to the girl with a very sincere expression:
"So, be good and call me husband. Only the two of us can hear you now, so don't be embarrassed."
When Sisi heard that Zhong Yunqing started to talk nonsense again, she really didn't go to bed for three days!
Besides, who is this girl? She is a complete tomboy. How could her boyfriend give in so easily with just a few words?
So without saying anything, Sisi's patience was worn away by him little by little. Seeing that he was still leaning against the side of her face, many people had noticed the two of them and were watching the fun.
Sisi immediately raised her thin arms with a fierce expression on her face, ready to hit him.
Zhong Yunqing and Sisi have been together for so long, and he knows the girl very well. He has already maxed out his danger prediction skills.
As soon as he saw "something bad happened", he immediately stepped back and ran away. Since Sisi's arms were relatively short anyway, Zhong Yunqing escaped to a safe area, then smiled and continued her flower art:
"Hmph, if you want to murder your husband, there is no way!"
Then he ran away as if running away.
"You, wait for me!"
Only an angry Sisi was left, along with the staff, extras, and some of Sisi's best friends who were nearby, watching the young couple quarreling and giggling.
Director Li, who was not far away, couldn't help but laugh and shook his head when he saw the young couple fooling around like this.
Of course, there is a saying that Zhong Yunqing is just messing around, but he is really good to his crew.
Although the filming funds are not particularly large, fortunately, the actors' remuneration ratio is very low, so he can allocate a considerable part of the funds to improve the treatment of the crew.
Among this group of actors, he is one of those who get paid for his role. Sisi, like He Zhengjun and Yan Ni, both get paid only 200,000 yuan.
The remaining unknown actors are even cheaper, Yuan Hong can still get 50,000 yuan, and the remaining best friends of Sisi, each of them considered important supporting roles, only get 30,000 "meaningful" each.
The few future movie stars who made friendly guest appearances didn't pay much. Compared with the future "all-star lineup" gimmick, they are completely worth mentioning.
Therefore, a drama with dozens of actors will cost less than one million in salary.
The cast of Zhong Yunqing is quite popular with the extras. Not only is the quality of the lunch box much better than other cast members, it has two meat and two vegetarian dishes and bone soup. The participation fee is also higher.
…………
Director Li took a loudspeaker and shouted at the two of them.
"Okay, everyone is in your place."
Director Li finished shouting to the crew, and then continued to say to Sisi:
"Sisi, put your guy on your back. Go to the sedan chair and wait."
"okay."
Sisi responded with an OK gesture, and then Zhong Yunqing helped her lift the sedan chair to the door curtain, and she slipped into the sedan chair.
Zhong Yunqing walked to the door of Shen's Mansion and stood with Yuan Hong. Other extras and staff also took their places and prepared together.
"Chef Fang Episode 1, Scene 9..."
After the scene notes were written, the filming of this episode began immediately.
I saw Zhong Yunqing walking out in a ruffian manner as if he didn't recognize his relatives, until he stood still in front of the sedan chair.
Although this guy is sometimes not serious, it cannot be denied that after all, he has been polishing his skills in Hengdian for more than two years, and his acting skills are still very stable. At least he can support himself well in playing a disguised "bully" like Shen Yong.
It's not a big problem.
I saw Zhong Yunqing walking up to the curtain of the sedan chair, then tilting his ears as if listening to what was going on inside.
Then he took out a live white mouse from his sleeve and slowly put it into the sedan chair.
Watching this scene in a previous life, Shen Yong wanted to scare Fang Yishao. The mouse was indeed too bad in special effects. Not only was it easy to be criticized, but it also seriously insulted the audience's IQ.
So when Zhong Yunqing was conceiving the plot, he planned to actually shoot this scene. He did use a real, live white mouse.
Fortunately, Sisi is not that kind of delicate little girl. She does not like mice, but she is not afraid of the white mouse. Instead, she thinks it looks like a little rabbit.
And after all, she is a female man, and she is relatively courageous. She is not very afraid of this little thing, so she agreed to the real-life shooting plan proposed by Zhong Yunqing without even thinking about it.
"OK, this scene is over, Sisi, get ready to get out of the sedan chair."
"Chef Fang Episode 1, Scene 10..."
Following the recording instructions, Zhong Yunqing slowly moved her head closer to the sedan chair to see what was going on inside, but then Sisi hit her with a rolling pin.
In the plot of Chef Fang, the rolling pin is an incredible "magic weapon". Whether it is used to discipline his father or to beat up gangsters and bullies, it is still Fang Yishao's most handy weapon.
But even if it was a rolling pin, Zhong Yunqing asked the crew to prepare two rolling pins. The one that hit him on the head was a fake one. It was made of clinker and wrapped in soft glue. It didn't hurt at all unless the person was hit very hard.
However, it was different when it came to filming the third and eighth episodes. What Zhong Yunqing prepared was a genuine rolling pin.
After all, in the third episode, the scene where Shen Yong wanted to drink flower wine and was beaten up by Fang Yishao was good, but the rolling pin was too stretched. If he moved it a little, it would bounce like a spring. It's fake at first glance.
Then Fang Yishao walked out of the sedan chair carrying the chef's utensils, and then she had to act out the feeling of anticipation when she saw Shen Yong and recognized him as her savior.
It wasn't until the two of them walked into Shen's house holding hands that they heard Director Li's somewhat satisfied voice:
"OK, this scene is over. Get ready to shoot the next scene."
After saying that, Director Li stood up and gave way.
The next thing to be filmed is another scene in a sedan chair. Zhong Yunqing plans to control the camera himself and film it with Sisi in the sedan chair.
And similarly, in order to shoot this scene, Zhong Yunqing spared no expense and spent more than 10,000 yuan to actually make such a wooden eight-carriage sedan.
When the filming started, Zhong Yunqing and Sisi entered the sedan chair together. He felt that the space inside was about three square meters.
It is also because of the shortcomings of the previous life that Zhong Yunqing was not like the one in the previous life. The space felt very small when shooting outside, but the plot inside was very spacious, which once made people complain that it was a bit fake.
In short, during the filming process, he will try his best to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. Details like this that are easily complained by the audience collectively should be avoided as much as possible during Zhong Yunqing's guidance.
But it's not absolute. After all, he is only a mortal in the final analysis, not a god. He cannot remember the entire plot. He can only check for omissions and fill in the gaps as much as possible.
"Sisi, please be more natural with your expression. In the episode where Fang Yishao marries into the Shen family, she shows that she is a heartless girl."
"How can I show that I am heartless?"
"It doesn't need to be expressed in detail. There is a psychological description in this paragraph. Fang Yishao wanted to go to the Shen Mansion first. If the Shen family is really as bad as the outside world says, she is trying to find a way to escape."
