"Actually, it's nothing. We feel that we shouldn't add the scene of dumping the cake in this scene. It doesn't seem to have much meaning."
Sister Hong was still righteous. Seeing Director Xia's clueless look, she gave him a prompt in time.
Throwing pie?
Could it be that scene?
They were discussing, and Wu Di also slipped in from outside the set. Since he didn't have a part in the scene anyway, he might as well watch the excitement first.
What will happen to Director Xia?
How will Lao Zhang fix him? I am really curious!
Thus, Wu Di captured the sensitive word "cake dumping"!
A ridiculous and bizarre scene immediately appeared in Wu Di's mind, my God!
That's the one!
“What’s wrong with that shot?”
"That's the perfect shot to show off your excellent ramen skills. At the same time, it's also very funny, isn't it? This is a plot I've been thinking about for a long time."
I have been pondering this sentence for a long time, and it makes it difficult for Sister Hong to say it any more.
What's going on?
Do you really have any opinions?
This is something that I, Director Zhang Da, made after painstaking research and thinking for a long time. Are you questioning my level?
Director Xia, who had just woken up from his confusion, didn't know where to start.
Throw the cake...
With such an inexplicable plot, do the big stars still think that it was Xiaoxia who added it to the plot?
How is that possible?
Director Xia had strong opinions on this kind of thing from the very beginning. At that time, he once made suggestions to Lao Zhang.
Ours is a comedy, but it is also a drama. You can enhance the comedy elements in a drama, but you can't do juggling.
What the audience wants to see is comedy, not farce.
Scenarios such as throwing cakes in the air are completely unnecessary and have no effect on promoting the plot.
Why not just delete it?
Happy deleting it?
It was a very reasonable request, but Lao Zhang shook his head at every question and refused to delete it. He also insisted on showing this scene as the highlight.
"Sister Hong, I'll take it as soon as I see it. Maybe it will look ridiculous and the effect will be better."
Brother Lightning threw away the end of his cigarette and settled the matter, but Lao Zhang didn't care. Sister Hong still insisted, because she was the focus of this scene and it could be regarded as her highlight scene.
However, Sister Hong really doesn’t want highlights to appear in such a scene!
She still wanted to salvage it.
As a result, all the focus came to Director Xia, and all the pressure was concentrated on him.
Who allowed the filming of this part to be nominally within the scope of responsibility of Director Xia? If you don’t explain the plot issues, who can?
The lighting engineer was picking at his scalp, and the dandruff was flying everywhere. The master who made the boards was tired, and the sweat was dripping from his forehead.
There were also a group of makeup artists and prop masters, all watching eagerly as the situation unfolded.
Wu Di shook his head helplessly, and was about to step forward to rescue him, when suddenly there was a sudden tug from behind, and it was Han Jingjing who pulled him back.
"Boss Wu, don't go into such muddy water!"
"You can't solve your own troubles, why are you going to care about others?"
It is rare that Han Jingjing, who always loves to watch the excitement and takes it as her own responsibility, actually took a rational route this time.
Wu Di looked into her eyes and said firmly: "How can this be done?"
"The more difficult the time, the more my value is highlighted. If I don't take action now, when will I take action?"
"Just leave it alone and just watch."
Isn't it what every man wants to have a woman see her shining moment? Even if this woman doesn't seem to have much to do with him, she is not someone he wants to please.
But the innate peacock attributes cannot be given up.
It always bursts out at the most appropriate time, allowing female compatriots to take a good look at how a handsome guy who can take care of things handles urgent matters.
Han Jingjing watched Wu Di walking towards the crowd with a hard-to-talk-about-that-things look. But Wu Di, our hero, what he was thinking about right now was that there would be no such store after passing this village, so he had to hurry up and join in.
That’s it!
"Actually, I particularly understand Director Zhang's original intention. This plot is necessary."
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, Lao Zhang immediately laughed: "Xiao Wu, tell me, you are an expert."
Lao Zhang's words had quite a connotation, and Director Xia's face immediately turned dark.
Wu Di walked among the actors, held the props and chopping board, and said seriously: "I think Director Zhang wants to use this pancake-throwing action to imitate the handkerchief-throwing action in the duet, right?"
"Throw away the handkerchief?"
"I'm familiar with this. I see. No wonder it always looks familiar to me." As he said this, Xiao Jilin held up his fingers and shook them a few times.
If there were handkerchiefs here, he might have to show off his talent.
Lao Zhang was very satisfied with this explanation and nodded: "Yes, Xiao Wu understood it correctly. That's what I meant."
"How about it, now you understand everything."
"Our movie is to combine comedy elements from the northwest and northeast. The actions, props, even accents, and makeup should all be as close to this direction as possible."
It turns out that this is what Lao Zhang really had in mind.
Wu Di and Director Xia looked at each other and understood immediately.
Although Wu Di praised Lao Zhang a few words, Director Xia was not angry, nor did he feel that Wu Di had betrayed him.
On the contrary, he was very pleased.
Fortunately, Xiao Wu knew how to talk to Lao Zhang. It was a fool's errand to count on Xiao Xia.
For example, without Wu Di, no one would know what Lao Zhang was thinking, but now, everyone knows.
The accent, the makeup, the props, and the scenes were all intentional.
What we are pursuing is a mix and match.
It is to mix the northwest flavor with the northeast flavor, and strive to create a wonderful sense of comedy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is of course Director Zhang’s wishful thinking, but the question is, is this mix and match really suitable?
"Director Zhang, having said that, I think this scene can really be improved."
At the critical moment when everyone was unable to change Lao Zhang's idea and were ready to make do with the filming, Wu Di stood up again!
In an instant, I experienced everyone!
"What to improve?"
“What needs improvement?”
Lao Zhang won't be happy. Wu Di has prepared for this a long time ago. He doesn't care. You have Zhang's good plan and I have the ladder to cross the bridge.
Anyway, I didn’t say that I wanted to give my opinion, nor did I say that I wanted to change the play. I just said that it was an improvement. Do you think it’s okay?
The so-called improvement is a rhetoric that can easily confuse people.
Advance means progress.
That means I have no objection to the original plot. Your design is very good and I think it can be retained.
But what am I going to say?
It's clear that this plot can be more perfect, it can be improved, and this foundation still belongs to you, Lao Zhang!
Using this improved method, Wu Di has successfully tricked Xiao Qi into boarding the boat. He believes that Lao Zhang will also be deceived.
"Of course it's the way this cake appears."
"Director Zhang, today's young people don't like to watch live pie dumplings. I think there are other ways to show Sister Hong's cooking skills."
"Don't like watching pie dumplings?"
"Why?"
This was not only a question raised by Lao Zhang, but also a question raised by everyone present. They couldn't think of anything wrong with this pie-slinging action, except that it was silly.
This is because they can't keep up with the times. Wu Di doesn't blame them. Even if they have kept up with the times, Wu Di's brain circuit is not something they can keep up with.
They have a purpose, can they be the same as ordinary melon-eating people?
"You may not know, but a certain popular artist nowadays is nicknamed Swinging Pancake. The swing of the pancake is, quite literally, like an electric fan blade."
"Nowadays, this is a popular joke among young people. The most important thing is that it is a negative joke. This is the first reason why I think this sequence of scenes should not appear."
What kind of star is nicknamed "Pie Dumping"? Is there such a person? What does it have to do with Lao Zhang's movies? Who would believe this unrelated reason?
And there is actually a second reason for this!
If he had followed Lao Zhang's personality, he certainly wouldn't have let Wu Di talk nonsense here and would have told him to shut up long ago.
But, that’s no longer possible now. There is still the respect of the crew here. At least, in front of the cast and crew, Lao Zhang still has to be a little tolerant and tolerant.
"The key is……"
Look, if you say it will come, won’t it just come?
Listen carefully to find out what kind of medicine this guy is selling in his gourd and what kind of bad water is hidden in his belly.
Wu Di deliberately dragged his voice for a long time. Seeing that people's eyes were all focused on him, he said with satisfaction: "The most important thing is that to show Sister Hong's cooking skills, there is no need to do this at all."
"What does our store sell?"
"Needless to say, he's a noodle seller." Lao Zhang blinked his eyes and said matter-of-factly.
"Since we are selling noodles, it is enough to clearly display the operations on the chopping board and add some dramatic elements. We are not selling cakes. Why do we have to make the dough fly so many times in the air and keep flying bigger and bigger?
?”
"This is not necessary at all."
Here we also need to clarify the fact that the noodles Wu Di mentioned are actually not real noodles. Since we are making a movie, props are indispensable.
How can the real dough stand up to Lao Zhang's tossing? According to his requirements, the dough, which is as big as an umbrella canopy, must fly back and forth in the air for at least a dozen times, and it must also show the kind of flying dough.
The uneven feeling.
How can ordinary dough be made?
It is simply impossible to meet Lao Zhang’s requirements!
Therefore, in order to make the picture look good and meet Lao Zhang's requirements, the prop team had no choice but to get busy.
Soon, they trial-produced a solution using soft rubber products as a replacement, and made the finished product.
Of course, these are all preface. Sanyaner has been preparing for this movie for such a long time, and many things have been prepared in advance.
"Why isn't it necessary?"
"I think it's necessary, so as to have a comedy effect!" Lao Zhang insisted and refused to give in. Sister Hong looked embarrassed and wanted to say a few words to Wu Di, but she had nowhere to say it.
Brother Lightning leaned against the wall, quietly watching the discussion between Wu Di and Lao Zhang, with a strange light in his eyes.
As for Director Xia, he has now completely turned to Wu Di.
Xiao Wu!
Sure enough, you are the best!
With the blessing of Lao Zhang's powerful and domineering aura, no one on the set, whether they were big stars or assistant directors, had almost no room for resistance.
He didn't even dare to say a word.
Only Wu Di stood up at the critical moment!
Not only did he stand up, but he also argued with Lao Zhang with good reason. Why did he do this?
Isn't it for everyone's sake?
Originally, this scene had nothing to do with him, and he didn't have to give up, so why bother to show off?
Not only Director Xia, but also the other parties involved must keep this feeling in mind, and it is not an easy task to carry Lao Zhang.
"Director Zhang, there are actually many ways to express comedy effects. The most important thing is to make it easy for the actors to express themselves. At least, that's what I think."
"Look, Sister Hong had a hard time performing the previous set of moves. Has she failed several times?"
Lao Zhang was slightly surprised: "How do you know?"
Wu Di glanced at Sister Hong's wrist. Although there was a string of props and jewelry blocking it, he could still vaguely see traces of black and blue.
It must have been a bump.
Just now, Lao Zhang was still wondering. When Director Xia came in, the filming had already stopped. How did Wu Di, who came in later than Director Xia, know the specific progress of the filming? When he saw the look in Wu Di's eyes, he understood.
Boy, you have a very careful heart and a very sharp eye.
"Then tell me, what action should be changed?" Lao Zhang took a step back.
But it wasn't because of Wu Di's sake, but because Sister Hong couldn't successfully complete the filming as planned.
Perhaps, the actual situation of the actor's performance was not considered before, and several attempts ended in failure.
Originally, Lao Zhang wanted to call Director Xia in to review the details and change the scene, but unexpectedly, Wu Di jumped out on his own initiative.
All right.
Since you and Wu Di don't mind taking the blame, what do I, Lao Zhang, have to fear?
Lao Zhang is not afraid, and Wu Di is even less afraid.
In fact, he can ask questions now, which shows that Wu Di's deception is still effective. After all, you still follow my rhythm.
If you are willing to ask questions, then I will have a way to change the plot. Wu Di is very experienced in this aspect.
Lao Zhang, on the other hand, has not experienced this test.
Next, Wu Di will give him a few surprises.
"You can use sword skills!"
Without waiting for Lao Zhang to react, Wu Di pulled Sister Hong and asked earnestly: "Sister, can you cook?"
The female celebrities of Sister Hong's generation are relatively down-to-earth and have absolutely essential skills in daily life.
You should be able to do all the laundry and cooking by yourself.
Sure enough, Sister Hong smiled heartily, nodded and said, "Yes, then why not."
"How do you want me to act?"
As smart as Sister Hong is, she has already guessed that knife skills are just cutting vegetables, and she is really good at this.
