No one expected that Sui Xi would take the initiative to ask Jiang Bei to direct this filming.
Even Jiangbei himself was a little surprised and glanced at Sui Xi in surprise.
"But Beibei doesn't know how to make movies, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to come, right?" Li Youqing said hesitantly at the side.
If you really can't, then it's really inappropriate.
After all, the director is the soul of a movie, and his role can even determine the final quality of a movie.
Although he is only directing one part, if a newcomer with no foundation at all can direct it, how can he produce something decent?
"I think we can give it a try. Mr. Jiang is a screenwriter and has a better perspective on scripts than us. It's better to let him come than us."
Sui Xi gave his own explanation.
The explanation is a bit far-fetched, but now it's just a short person trying to get a taller person, and there's really no way around it.
"What Sister Sui Xi said makes sense, and Mr. Jiang often sits by the monitor and watches the filming with Director Hai. He must be able to understand some of the director's style, and maybe the result will be what he wants."
Feng Zhen dragged her chin to analyze, and at the same time expressed her agreement.
With two important leading actors in a row agreeing with Jiang Bei to direct, Li Youqing would definitely not be able to continue talking, but would focus on Jiang Bei and let him make his own decision.
"How about... let me try?"
Jiang Bei hesitated for a moment and then tentatively said.
He didn't try to shirk it because it was too late.
If you don't hurry up and take the photo, it might be over in an hour.
If there is no way to complete this filming by then, it will inevitably affect the filming process of the entire movie.
"Can you really do it..."
Xiao Nizi grabbed his hand and asked quietly.
Feeling the coolness in his wife's palms, Jiang Bei comforted him: "It's okay. I watch the director from behind every day, so I can follow suit. And even if it fails, Director Hai won't blame me."
Xiao Nizi nodded and said nothing more, but the worry on her face could not be concealed.
Everyone knows that taking this part of the filming is a useless job.
Because it’s done, that’s what it should be.
If you don't take good pictures, you will be blamed.
Not to mention that with her knowledge of Jiangbei, it was basically impossible to film this scene well.
Of course, that's just what she thought.
…
"Everyone, go back and get ready. We will start shooting in three minutes."
Now that he decided to take over the filming, Jiang Bei was unambiguous and directly began to exercise the director's rights and coordinate the entire scene.
Under his instructions, the creative team and staff entered their posts one after another and made final preparations for the shooting.
In an instant, the entire stagnant crew began to operate in an orderly manner.
In fact, these are not Jiangbei's credit, but the crew itself has been working together for a while, and everyone knows what they should do.
The real test for a director is the general direction of the shooting.
In just the next half hour.
Three short minutes passed quickly, and all the crew members were ready. Li Youqing, who played Lin Xiao, was already sitting in the taxi.
The first host position is already aimed at her and is ready to start filming at any time.
The other leading actors are also not far away, waiting to appear at any time.
But the director hasn't called start yet, and everyone is looking in the same direction.
The new director who took over temporarily is communicating with the cameraman in the auxiliary position.
This phenomenon occurs frequently within just a few minutes.
The new director visited and talked to the photographers on the main camera and the three auxiliary cameras used to shoot today's scene.
On the surface, it seems that this temporary director has some ideas of his own.
"Do you think Mr. Jiang can succeed?" Feng Zhen stood outside the camera, wearing a dress and a coat, looking at the director calmly talking to the photographer not far away, and asked curiously.
"Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, I admire Mr. Jiang's calmness." Xie Lin on the side praised.
In such a tense and critical situation, it is very difficult to maintain a calm mind.
But from Jiang Bei, you can't see the slightest bit of nervousness.
So just this calmness is worthy of appreciation.
Feng Zhen nodded, somewhat agreeing with Xie Lin's words, but this was not the answer she wanted, so she turned her head and glanced at Sui Xi.
"What do you think, Sister Sui Xi?"
Sui Xi tightened her coat tightly and looked at the broad back in the distance with her beautiful eyes. There was some certainty in her eyes as she replied: "He can do it."
Affirmative answers.
Feng Zhen and Xie Lin were a little surprised that Sui Xi, the best actress in the movie, actually believed in Jiang Bei so much.
Sui Xi didn't have much explanation for this, because only she knew that Jiangbei was an omnipotent person.
The brief discussion ended here, because the director had finished explaining everything, walked back to the monitor, picked up the walkie-talkie, and signaled the shooting to start.
At the same time, the keeper took the slate and entered the host position.
The main camera assistant began to read the information on the slate.
After the narration, the notes began to be written.
""Little Times", a001, scene 138, item 1, action!"
As the recording session ends, it means that filming has officially begun.
The main unit is slowly pushed forward, and the radio head is adjusted to the most suitable recording angle.
Li Youqing, who played Lin Xiao, started talking to the driver.
Due to the traffic jam on the elevated highway, the vehicles were stagnant. At this time, the clothing show had already begun. If the clothing could not be delivered in time, Nanxiang would not be able to go on stage.
So Lin Xiao was very anxious, but with a weak personality, she could only do nothing in the face of all this. After communicating with the driver to no avail, she opened the door and walked out, looking at the endless elevated traffic jam in despair.
"Get ready for camera number two." Jiang Bei looked at this scene and picked up the walkie-talkie to give the order.
"Campus No. 2 is ready."
"Take over the host bit."
Following an order, the picture on the monitor changed to a fixed long lens, and the lens slowly pulled from low to upward, capturing the entire traffic jam on the elevated highway.
There is no need for any special effects. Real-life shooting makes the whole picture look unusually atmospheric, achieving a perfect effect.
"The host pulled back in, and the actors started crying!" Jiang Bei changed his hand to a loudspeaker and continued to give instructions.
After receiving the instruction, the host followed up again. Li Youqing began to get emotional and squatted down and huddled together. His face tried hard to show the feeling of powerlessness and despair, trying to save tears.
But the effect was not good. No matter how hard she tried, she could not shed tears. Even the expression on her face was very stiff, which could be seen at a glance.
"Click!"
Jiang Bei frowned as he watched this scene and signaled for a pause in filming.
The crew fell into silence for a moment.
Everyone looked at the interim director.
Even Li Youqing himself was a little nervous. He quickly stood up and ignored the coldness on his body and whispered: "I'm sorry, director."
Jiang Bei stood silently in front of the monitor and pondered for a moment, then finally got up and walked towards his wife.
…
"Can't you cry?" Jiang Bei looked at his wife and asked.
Li Youqing looked at her husband and felt an inexplicable feeling of fear in her heart. She timidly replied: "Maybe it's because the weather is too cold and I can't mobilize my emotions properly."
"You just don't have acting skills." Jiang Bei shrugged, grabbed his wife's hands and helped her warm them, and said.
"I'm not!"
Li Youqing was furious when he heard this, he broke away from Jiang Bei's hand and retorted stubbornly.
For an actor who has been blacklisted for two years because of his poor acting skills, this sentence is undoubtedly extremely lethal.
Jiang Bei looked at this familiar and stubborn face, his expression gradually darkened, and asked: "If it's not the case, why can't you even do a simple crying scene?"
The voice was not loud, and almost only the two of them could hear it; but the tone was very heavy, which made Li Youqing's nose suddenly sore. His big eyes looked at Jiangbei full of grievance.
Jiang Bei saw that his wife's eyes were already glowing red, and he turned around and left.
"Do it again."
""Little Times", a001, scene 138, item 2, action!"
Perhaps because he found the feeling, the second shooting went very smoothly. Li Youqing showed his grievance and helplessness vividly, with big tears covering his cheeks.
Jiang Bei, who was sitting in front of the monitor and watching this scene, had a worried expression on his face.
"How can I explain it later..."
…
"Get ready for aircraft number three!"
"Other actors are ready to enter!"
"Prepare for aerial photography!"
On the Changlan Elevated Highway, the crew of "Tiny Times" began their sprint in the last half hour.
The appropriate snowflakes were floating in the sky again, adding a bit of color to the viaduct.
Four golden flowers holding clothing boxes and running barefoot among the traffic, accompanied by snowflakes flying in the sky, recorded by the aerial camera, seem to be the most beautiful scenery in the world.
This is the run of friendship.
It is also the youth of running.
…
"Click!"
"The shooting is over!"
With Jiang Bei's final order, this elevated plot finally came to an end.
The entire crew was silent at first, and then burst into applause that filled half the sky.
"Wow~"
Applause goes to today's biggest contributor. This "inexperienced" director conquered everyone present with his calmness and fearlessness in the face of danger.
Even artists like Feng Zhen, who has been filming for many years, couldn't help but applaud and sighed: "Mr. Jiang's control ability is so skillful, it's hard to imagine that he is a newcomer."
"It's Sister Sui Xi's decision-making that makes Mr. Jiang so amazing." Xie Lin applauded desperately and praised the two of them in one sentence.
Sui Xi smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It's Mr. Jiang who is talented."
This sentence is generally recognized by everyone.
Yes.
All glory is based on the expression of self-worth.
Without its own foundation, where can the glory come from?
Lin Yinyin, who was standing behind them, held a reflector in her hand and listened to their conversation. She couldn't help but secretly take out her mobile phone and send a message.
"Xiao Jiang, Mr. Jiang completed a particularly impressive shoot today... I believe you will not be let down if you are talented."
