Autumn has entered in the north and there are some cooler seasons, but it is still summer here in Kaiping, and it is hot and humid.
During the day, the temperature is around 30 degrees Celsius. If it doesn’t rain, it will be exposed to the sun. If it rains, it will be a steamer.
Especially, because it is in a mountainous area and there is a river next to it. No matter it is windy or rainy, a customer will arrive on time.
That's mosquitoes.
The mosquitoes here are very big. One bite can cause a bump the size of a little finger, which is painful and itchy. If you bite it off, it can even leave a tattoo.
And for magic immunity, Liushen perfume is a must-have, but spraying it all over the body is of no use. Just bite when you need to, without being polite at all. The skin of the crew is relatively tender, and it can cause big swelling.
It's fine indoors, with insecticides and mosquito coils working together, but if there's a night attack outdoors... it's simply torture.
Qin Xiaobao still did not escape the fate of being attacked. For this reason, he went to the Internet to find home remedies, such as soaking vitamins in water, using them as sprays, or eating specific foods. However, it was useless. They were all scammers.
Wang Bingbing is pretty much the same. Mosquitoes don't take pity on girls.
In short, everyone is miserable.
In addition to mosquitoes, Qin Xiaobao lost more than ten pounds, yes, he lost weight!
When he first started filming, he still had some idol baggage. The weather was hot, and the filming lasted until three in the morning. No matter how sleepy or tired he was, he still had to take a shower, change clothes, shave, and style his hair.
.
But after persisting for a week and seven days, I couldn’t hold on any longer!
I really don’t have the energy.
He is like a machine. Except when sleeping, he is always filming, dealing with problems, having meetings, and cursing people.
I still change my clothes, but I don’t care about my beard and hairstyle.
Qin Xiaobao finally understood the disapproval of the director in the big crew.
He considers himself to have a very good personality and does not get angry easily.
But on the set, there were so many things that made him angry.
A clearly simple shot was interrupted due to someone's mistake, or there was something wrong with the props. The combination of various factors made Qin Xiaobao like a powder keg.
If he encountered something in the past, he would laugh it off, but now if he encounters the same thing, someone will definitely be unlucky.
However, his behavior was not strange to the nine-story staff of the production.
When Qin Xiaobao scolded, no one made a sound and everyone lowered their heads, even if Uncle Ge, Jiang Wen, and Leslie Cheung were present.
After he has finished venting and calmed down, someone, usually a fat director, will bring him a bottle of iced drink, comfort him with a few words, then raise his head and curse a few more words.
This matter is probably over.
Those who can join the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" are all elites in the industry, old masters, even with ten years of experience, they are considered low-qualified. There are so many directors who have joined the crew and dealt with them that I have never seen such people.
Although Qin Xiaobao has achieved good results before investing in a project worth 300 million yuan, he is still a young man after all. He is carrying the pressure of a nine-digit investment, so it is strange that he is not in a hurry.
Whether it is photographer, assistant director, art director, props...all other positions, in fact, there is not much difference in each group.
They all do things for money.
However, if the director is very demanding and presses hard, he will be more serious. Don't be too good at paddling.
Once, Master Lin, who was in charge of the props, was in his fifties. He was forced by Qin Xiaobao to stay up all night with his two apprentices and change three props. However, in the eyes of many people, this prop was just a background. In fact, it had nothing to do with it.
big.
Because of this, Qin Xiaobao's reputation has increased. When he was filming in Beijing, there were some people who argued with him, but now, it can be said that they are all talking.
In artistic creation, except for acting and some relatively professional fields, you really don’t need too many people’s opinions.
The director has his story in mind, and the more people involved, the more messy it becomes.
Especially, when Qin Xiaobao turns on the plug-in.
The actors are all professional, and there are Cannes best actors like Leslie Cheung, so they can naturally overpower Qin Xiaobao in terms of acting skills.
But the truth is, our Director Qin is not afraid at all when facing everyone. If he thinks your method is wrong, he will immediately give you suggestions on what to do.
If you are not convinced, after giving it a try, eh, it is really smooth.
Leslie Cheung, Hu Ge, and Wang Bingbing have a deep understanding of this. Is Qin Xiaobao good at acting?
Sincerely, Lao Hu said that probably the second-year magician students could perform better than him.
But he has a clear mirror in his heart. From God's perspective, he can point out everyone's shortcomings. This is what a director should do.
Ge You lamented that Director Qin was a great director. He knew the script by heart. He knew everyone's character, way of speaking, and the plot of the film by heart. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to make such an accurate judgment.
The big guys are not surprised, but some people are still afraid.
When the extras and the fifteen students who came from the magic show saw Qin Xiaobao getting angry and smashing water bottles for the first time, they really thought they were going to fight.
He hid in the corner fearfully, his eyes blank, hoping not to injure himself.
In particular, several students from the directing department were even more wide-eyed.
Damn it!
Is this Qin Xiaobao?
Is this Qin Xiaobao who was fooling around with them in school and treating them to meals and milk tea?
So domineering!
The two professors responsible for the music and costumes of the magic show secretly gave extra lessons to the students.
A director is like a powder keg when filming. It is impossible for a real director to have a temper and be gentle, gentle and kind all the time.
The scariest thing is actually not Qin Xiaobao's type. If he vents, he will at least let everyone know where the problem lies and what makes him dissatisfied, so they can correct it.
The few directors headed by Wang Sunjing are terrible.
When encountering NG, he just shouts "CUT" without saying anything. The actor performs the performance once, ten times, a hundred times, and the answer he gets is always "cut, do it again."
It can be called hellish torture.
After the students listened, they just stuck out their tongues. It was terrible.
They have seen Qin Xiaobao's most scene, which was filmed more than thirty times in total, and it was still acted by boss Jiang Wen.
Not bragging at all, if he returns to acting in China, he will definitely be at the professor level. There is absolutely no doubt about his acting skills and directing skills.
If it were another director, he would probably be a little scared, afraid that the teachers would be unhappy, but Qin Xiaobao didn't care about that.
Go up and talk about it, and then let everyone act. If it doesn't work, keep talking...
Apart from fear, the students were more envious.
They were clearly classmates sitting in the same classroom, they had clearly eaten together in the cafeteria, and they clearly shook hands and said goodbye when they left school.
But on the set, he was so awesome!
Even though I was a classmate in the directing department for a year, I finally realized the difference between me and him only after I saw the scene's... I should call it aura.
Jealousy is inevitable.
Man, it's a little strange.
If I were to compare myself with Dad Ma, Lei Jun, or the richest man Wang, I would have no intention of doing so.
But if you work in the same industry as you and the other person's salary is much higher, you will usually ignore the other person's advantages and just feel that you are not appreciating his talent.
The kids in the directing department don't want to admit it, but sometimes, they really feel that if they were in Qin Xiaobao's position, they wouldn't dare to say they did better than him, but they wouldn't be much worse, they just lack a chance.
After joining the group, their illusions were shattered. The students discovered that, let alone directing, sometimes they were unable to complete some of the tasks assigned by the on-site director, which was a huge blow.
They are all classmates. A few dozen meters away, Qin Xiaobao is wearing headphones and standing behind the monitor to give directions.
As for me, I can only do odd jobs in the crew and be disliked.
Don't dare to be dissatisfied.
People dare to diss Leslie Cheung. If they look at his brother, they probably won't be able to speak clearly, let alone anything else.
Naturally, Qin Xiaobao didn't know that the classmates who came from the magic show already praised him in their hearts.
He's angry!
Maybe it was because of the weather or maybe I ate something wrong. I started having toothache last night. I felt it wasn't cavities, so I didn't care about it. I asked for painkillers, ate them, and fell asleep.
As a result, when I woke up the next day and brushed my teeth, I noticed something was wrong. The left cheek looked like it had a ping pong ball in its mouth, and it was very swollen.
"Fuck!" Qin Xiaobao was stunned and quickly sent a WeChat message to Xiaoming, asking him to call the doctor to the room.
Xiaoming was shocked. What happened? He actually had to call a doctor?
After the notification was completed, I rushed over first, took a look, and felt relieved, it was okay, okay, okay.
The doctor heard that the director was not feeling well and came to check with a medicine box.
Fortunately, after some examination and diagnosis, it was found that he was suffering from internal heat due to lack of rest.
The problem is not big, but the solution is not that simple. If you just take medicine, the swelling will not subside that quickly, and it may take a few days. The fastest way is to remove water.
Other than that, there is no other way.
After thinking about it, Qin Xiaobao chose the second one. It was too uncomfortable and it was inconvenient to eat.
When he appeared in front of everyone pushing an injection bottle, the crew were shocked and came forward to express condolences.
At first, he answered a few questions, but after a few more people, he didn't bother to speak. He turned his face and everyone understood.
When Xiang Yang learned about it, he made a special announcement in the group. Director Qin just had a minor problem and it would heal quickly. Don't pay attention to it, let alone spread it.
However, the scene of Qin Xiaobao sitting in front of the monitor in front of the monitor while hanging water was still filmed.
It's quite good material, but it can't be used now. When the movie is ready to be released later, it can be used to attract attention.
