Chapter 34 Establishing authority on the set

 Youman couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

She thinks this is a good thing. At least Xu Ji knows that hiring these people to save money is a completely wrong decision.

There is nothing wrong with the script, and Xu Ji himself is capable.

Now that all these people have been replaced, Youman even thinks that this drama might really become Station G’s first hit online drama.

"I gave you the storyboard before, why is this shot still like this?"

Xu Ji asked with a stern face.

This main photographer is a photographer from an advertising company that Xu Ji recruited in Chengdu.

He is almost forty years old, and being scolded by Xu Ji, a man so much younger than himself, he still feels a little embarrassed about his face.

He blushed and said:

"What do you know? The effect of shooting this way is obviously better than the effect of the storyboard you gave me."

When Youman heard about the photography, he started to argue with Xu Ji. He immediately became interested and crossed his arms to prepare to watch the show.

If Xu Ji had not handled it well, the majesty established in the past half hour would have been lost.

After hearing what the other party said, Xu Ji frowned.

Then signal the other party to get out of the way of the camera.

This person realized that Xu Ji was planning to take the photo himself, so he decisively stepped aside.

Then he looked like he was waiting for a good show.

Although Xu Ji is a director, the nature of directing and photography are different.

This new director who just graduated doesn’t think he can really take pictures, right?

When the photos come out in a mess, you might as well apologize to yourself and let yourself continue shooting.

The photographer thought with disdain, then asked angrily:

"Director, do you know how to use machines?"

"How about I introduce it to you?"

Xu Ji didn't speak, but turned around and pointed at another photography major who had just graduated.

"Come here."

The other party walked over honestly.

He didn't dare to mock Xu Ji. If that person was fired, he could still go back and continue filming wedding commercials.

But his job is hard-earned.

"Pay attention to my purpose when shooting."

"You don't have to strictly follow the storyboards, but the language of the shots must be as written on my storyboards."

......

What everyone present did not expect was that Xu Ji actually started on-site teaching?!

"The actors are ready to do it again."

Xu Ji shouted.

Then adjust the lens movement easily and naturally.

"Click!"

After filming, I returned to the monitor to watch the playback.

The seven or eight other photographers present also gathered around.

The photographer with a strange look also surrounded him with some disdain.

But as the footage was played back, his expression changed.

"Okay, this one passed!"

Xu Ji said.

Then he looked back at the photographer who was filming the wedding advertisement, and said calmly:

"You can go."

"Go to the finance department to pay your salary."

Xu Ji showed no mercy and spoke directly.

Then he looked at the young photographer who had just graduated and said, "Remember to learn more and ask more questions. You will be the main photographer in the future."

This person jumped out just in time to agree with Xu Ji's wishes and established his authority.

Such an episode did not have a big impact on Xu Ji, and the filming continued.

......

Youman was a little surprised that Xu Ji's photography skills were also good.

But she didn't expect that in the following time, Xu Ji would let her see the working mode of the crew that she had never seen before.

Not only photography, this guy seems to know everything. He just shot a few scenes and has already done four or five jobs.

And he even went down to show Ji Yiyang how to act in several scenes.

Youman even felt that Xu Ji acted better than Ji Yiyang.

What's even more exaggerated is that while he was able to wear multiple hats with ease, he was still teaching the new members of the crew who didn't have much experience.

The entire crew felt like they were being carried forward by Xu Ji alone.

"Is this guy a monster?"

"Why do you know everything?"

"Even the props can be easily changed, making the school uniforms that originally seemed a bit inconsistent become much more pleasing to the eye."

Youman's view of Xu Ji changed several times in just one morning.

I looked down on it from before, and even thought it was a pity that such a good script was so good.

Then slowly it turned into admiration, and I felt that if this was really the case, with some guarantees, this drama might actually be successful in the end.

In the end, when Xu Ji started to change the props, he was just shocked.

Not only that, in just one morning, Xu Ji opened a scene manager, a prop master, and a lighting artist one after another.

Everyone present began to feel insecure.

"In my crew, it's better not to think about just hanging around."

Xu Ji warned everyone without any concealment.

This is also the reason why he recruits so many people.

Naturally, I plan to conduct screening.

And Xu Ji plans to continue recruiting people in the process.

In the end, after the filming of this drama is completed, there may not be a few left.

Xu Ji is willing to train his own team from scratch, but he is not really stupid enough to accept everyone.

If it doesn’t work, just change it.

Anyway, it doesn’t cost much to replace these people.

......

"Everyone will take a break for lunch first."

"We will resume work at one o'clock."

Xu Ji looked at the time and then announced.

At this time, everyone at the scene showed expressions of relief after hearing Xu Ji's words.

Ji Yiyang, who had been tense, finally relaxed now.

This kind of work intensity is something he has never encountered before.

He even felt that the food prepared by his assistant today became more delicious.

Before this, Ji Yiyang was actually just relatively reassured about the script.

But I am still a little worried about the reliability of the crew.

Especially when I heard that Xu Ji's entire crew was basically composed of newcomers, I would be a little shaken and wonder if I was impulsive and came to take on such a drama.

But now, although he was tired, he was shouting in his heart that he had come to the right place.

As a director, Xu Ji can actually act!

And it's even better than his acting skills.

The key is that under Xu Ji's training, Ji Yiyang feels that his acting skills may be significantly improved after the filming of this drama.

"Yi Yang, if it doesn't work, let's ask Sister Chen to come and talk to them."

"Isn't this small crew of theirs deliberately torturing people?"

"We still have to lower our pay."

"If it were someone else, I would be polite, but that director named Xu Ji actually yelled at you."

Ji Yiyang's assistant is a girl several years older than him.

At this time, looking at Ji Yiyang's sweating profusely, he was very tired, so he spoke in an aggrieved tone.

Ji Yiyang rolled his eyes at his assistant.

"What do you know?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Wait until Director Xu hears it."

At this time, Ji Yiyang completely admired Xu Ji.

Even if he doesn't get paid, he won't leave.

He knows very well how rare it is for a director like Xu Ji to train actors so well.
