"So what does Director Xiaolong want me to play? A description of the character or a synopsis, so I can prepare it in advance."
Wu Di was also in a dilemma. Although he was angry in his heart, he couldn't express it verbally. If the other party was Xiaolong, he might have said harsh words and showed shame.
But Brother Jianbing is a good brother. When facing a good brother, you always have to give him some face and don't embarrass him directly.
I can only endure it.
Still smiling!
"Well, since the role is small, I won't ask. I'll just treat it as a guest appearance just to meet my brother."
This is what Wu Di said sincerely. If it weren't for the pancakes, he wouldn't have gone all the way to Hengdian just to film such a small scene.
Maybe, in the end, I can keep the scene and actually show my face in the finished film, maybe!
You have to know that now Boss Wu is already a big star and a well-known director (although he is just a minor), but he is also a famous person!
The dishes are huge and not something that ordinary people can afford!
Furthermore, our boss Wu is the laziest, how could we work so hard just for such a small role?
"It's okay if you don't ask. Actually, I don't know how Xiaolong arranged it. After I told him that you wanted to make a guest appearance, he said that you could go there in the next two days and that we could arrange it as soon as possible."
"This is all for your sake. You are a big star now, and your business schedule is full and tight. We can't delay it again and delay your serious work."
"So, Xiaolong and I discussed putting your part in the front and finishing the filming as soon as possible, so that you can do other things."
Wu Di was speechless, but could not refute, so he could only accept it reluctantly, so reluctantly that his face turned blue.
Who asked you to make such active arrangements?
Who said I have to rush ahead?
Don’t you know that I’m carrying out a very important task here? What if Uncle Zhang runs away and another one of my box office champion seeds runs away again? What should I do?
This is called delaying a major event!
Besides, you don’t even know what I’m going to play, so aren’t you just lying?
Wu Di was finally convinced. Perhaps this was all his retribution. In the capital, he tried his best to deceive Uncle Zhang, and around him, this big deceiver, there were also all kinds of big deceivers.
The skill of each one is not inferior to his.
I'm going to make a guest appearance, but I don't know what role I'm going to play yet. Is it true that I have to shave my head?
That is absolutely impossible!
Uncle Jianbing, Uncle Jianbing, you are such an old person and you are not an innocent little white flower. How could you say such incompetent words?
"Brother, let me tell you first, I don't want to shave my head!"
"I'm filming a modern movie. If I shave my head now, it will be embarrassing if it doesn't grow back later."
Now that things have happened, Wu Di can only tell the truth, although he feels a little sorry for Jianbing. After all, he was the one who promised well before, and he was the one who said it didn't matter if he had his head shaved. It has already been blown out in Haikou.
Jianbing would connect him with the role, which was also based on Wu Di's own bragging. If he had rejected Jianbing, how could there be such trouble?
such a pity!
Although the interval was not long, there was no regret medicine to take, so Boss Wu could only tell the truth.
"Oh, that's how it is."
To Wu Di's surprise, Jianbing didn't feel particularly disappointed, but seemed quite calm.
"This is easy to handle. You go to Hengdian first and we can discuss it later. If it doesn't work, you can also wear a fake hood."
"What?"
"Fake hood?"
"Didn't you say last time that Director Xiao Long has strict requirements and doesn't let male actors wear fake headgear?"
This is what he said himself!
Wu Di is still young, but he hasn't reached the age of being old and confused yet!
Jianbing on the other end of the phone chuckled, somewhat humorously: "Xiao Wu, your identity is different now."
"You are a big name. Can the requirements for others be the same as the requirements for you?"
"Just come and we can discuss it when the time comes."
Wu Di suddenly had an ominous premonition. Why was the way Jianbing spoke at this moment somewhat similar to his original self?
There are even 70% to 80% similarity!
this……
This is a sign of deceiving people!
Not reliable!
There must be a ghost!
Although Wu Di was ready to step into the trap, he still embarked on the journey to Hengdian without hesitation.
What's wrong with it?
With his current qualifications, what if he steps into one or two pitfalls? Nothing can be done to him?
Besides, that was Chuan Chuan's set!
Beautiful women are like clouds, and the fragrance of beautiful women is everywhere, floating in the air!
Such a rare opportunity, how can you not join in the fun? Even if you don't make a cameo, it doesn't matter, just looking at the beauties is worth the price of admission!
Hengdian......
Ming and Qing palace studio.
This venue, which has always been very lively, is even more lively now. Although among the many studios in Hengdian, the Ming and Qing Palace Studio is the most efficiently used and has the most filming crews.
However, in recent years, such a large-scale production crew has been rare. Therefore, only a day or two after the crew started filming, it has already attracted the attention of many nearby production crews.
Even the aborigines of Hengdian came to watch the fun.
Fortunately, Xiaolong is a reliable director and has good control over the set. Otherwise, such a large crew would easily become a mess.
As Jianbing said, what is being filmed now are all side plots without the most central characters appearing.
On the set, the male and female protagonists did not appear, and Jianbing was nowhere to be seen.
However, there are still many young men and women, and it can be said that it is a very good-looking crew.
Why did director Xiao Long, who has extensive filming experience, do this this time?
Don’t other companies film the main plot first, and then film the side plots?
Why would he do the opposite?
That's of course because the main storyline hasn't been completed yet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You have to know that ours is a large-scale long-running TV series that will definitely exceed fifty episodes. Such a number of episodes can almost catch up with those Japanese dramas.
As for those Japanese dramas, they are all based on modern families, the filming is relatively simple, and the plot is basically limited to a very small range.
It can even be basically done, shooting on the same day and broadcasting on the same day.
However, the drama in Xiaolong's hands obviously cannot apply this model. Its service style is exquisite and its plot is also exquisite.
Such a masterpiece is all Xiaolong's hard work, but Xiaolong is determined to make it a success no matter what!
Therefore, at the beginning of filming, he was still looking for inspiration, and inspiration would not pop out casually. He was not one of those film masters who could waste a year just for an inspiration.
No matter what, he is just a TV drama producer, and he can't pay attention to many things even if he wants to.
In fact, a few years ago, when Xiao Long just graduated from the Film and Television Academy, he also made a movie, and the reviews from the audience were pretty good.
But at that time, he was not able to find a correct position. Literary art was not his specialty. He preferred telling stories to expressing emotions.
This puts him in sharp contrast with that generation of directors who love to express themselves through movies. In other words, in fact, his personal style tends to be more commercial.
However, the field of commercial films is not easy to deal with.
In the era when Xiao Long was just starting out, almost no director could explain clearly what a commercial film was and what its concept was.
As a director, the people who are at the helm of the work are not clear about the type of commercial film and the elements it requires, so what else is there to say?
Of course, it was a wild growth. It couldn't be said to be a fight, nor could it be said that you were chasing each other. After a few years, some people came out and stood out.
And some people, like Xiao Long, if they could withstand the tide of the times, maybe Xiao Long could grow into a fairly good commercial film director now.
However, it is a pity that he did not catch up with the good times and did not stand out in that era.
Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Xiao Long. He left the film industry and made TV series, which suddenly highlighted Xiao Long's style.
After all, compared to movies, in the field of TV dramas, there are still relatively few directors who pay attention to style and style, and can even make TV dramas with smooth plots and full emotions.
why would you say so?
Who said that compared to movies, TV series are late-developing drama projects?
At the time when Xiao Long first entered the TV drama industry, there were not that many directors who specialized in filming TV dramas.
Quantities are extremely limited.
Xiaolong's ability is enough to stand out in this field.
In this way, others are still walking slowly, but our director Xiaolong is already running!
After so many years of experience, of course I have connections, resources, and achievements.
And now, facing the beautifully decorated studio, Xiaolong stood with Brother Pancake with his hands on his waist.
There is a lot of pride in my chest!
OK!
This time, we will definitely be able to make a masterpiece!
Many times, directors do have such abilities. From the very beginning of filming, they even have a vague idea of whether a film will work or not, and what level of quality it can produce.
For an experienced director like Xiao Long, he was even sure of it from the stage of setting up the scene.
Of course, even if everything is well prepared and no mistakes are made in every aspect, tensions will occasionally occur.
The service is gorgeous, but the plot is turned into shit, and the whole drama turns into chocolate covered in shit. This is not uncommon.
But those are all mistakes made by directors whose abilities are inherently erratic. In Xiaolong's case, at least, he can ensure that the works he directs have a basic bottom-line quality.
The organization of the plot is not too outrageous, and coupled with the exquisite service, the quality of a TV series is guaranteed!
"Jianbing, just listen to me. This time, I guarantee that after you finish filming this drama, it will be a huge hit!"
Not a bad tone.
"Don't dare, don't dare, as long as you can produce good works, I don't care about that."
"Don't worry about that!"
"My script will definitely make you shine!"
In this regard, Jianbing did not lie or boast. Since his debut, he has known that he is not a traffic person.
He has never pursued much in terms of popularity or fans.
As a human being, the most important thing is to have self-awareness.
Looking from head to toe, I can't see that it has anything to do with the fans' pursuit, and he himself will not feel regretful because he failed to receive enthusiastic praise from the audience.
Since the movie, Jianbing has been famous in the industry for being a little tempered and aloof.
He is still very pursuing, and even simply being a good actor and making masterpieces is not his ultimate goal.
To be honest, Brother Jianbing’s ambitions have always been great!
He has always had a dream in his heart and has never told anyone about it.
He wants to be a director!
A man who doesn't want to be a director will not be a good actor!
In Jianbing's heart, if he wants to express his thoughts, realm, and pursuits, he still has to direct his own works!
What is an actor?
What are the responsibilities of an actor?
Of course it’s a show!
When Jianbing was studying at the film school, he already had this idea. Although there are actors with outstanding acting skills who can break through the constraints of directors and develop other meanings into the plots of film and television dramas, and even turn ordinary scripts into
Through their outstanding performance, they rose to become masterpieces.
But even if it is a masterpiece, so what?
As an actor, even if you are just a performer, don't you still have to express the director's will?
Can your performance be completely separated from the original script?
you can not!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Everyone has their own different pursuits. Some people are proud to be good actors and leave a name in film history, which is of course also very good.
It would be enviable if we could reach such a height.
But some people, like Jianbing, pay more attention to the expression of personal emotions and thoughts than being actors.
Then, just being an actor will not satisfy his needs.
It can be said that the current Jianbing is in the circle of actors and his heart is already in the circle of directors. Moreover, he really looks down on these TV series.
Of course, Jianbing is not the kind of person who is very difficult to get along with, and who is self-centered in everything. Even if he thinks so in his heart, he will not show it on his face.
TV series...
For pancakes at this stage, it really doesn't help much.
When I become a director in the future, I will be aiming to be a film director, and I will not be filming a TV series.
As we all know, the shooting techniques of TV series are completely different from those of movies, and the requirements in various aspects are also completely different.
It would be a big mistake if Jianbing brought the skills of TV drama directors to the movie shooting scene, or even treated them as masters!
How wrong!
Now Jianbing has only one belief, and that is to find a good movie script as much as possible, and then show off his talents in the film industry!
But before that, we must first film this TV series!
Yes!
There is no need to doubt the professional ethics of our Pancake Uncle. Although our hearts are set on movies, as long as it is the next work, especially the work directed by our old acquaintance Xiao Long, even if it is a TV series, he will still complete it seriously.
.
Just think of it as a perfect ending before the transformation!
