He knew very well that the first advantage of being chosen by Mr. Bai was not his outstanding ability... Of course, I have to say humbly here that he is still somewhat famous in the industry.
However, this cannot change the reason why he won among many candidates, and that is——
The execution ability is very strong.
How do you arrange for him to do it? If it is difficult to do it, then try your best to do it. If you can't do it, then try your best and then say you can't do it.
At the same time, he is not the kind of person who only listens to requests without hesitation. On the contrary, he is also very capable, so he will also express his opinions.
For Li Mingyi, who has not been in the company for many years, and Bai Shanshan, who has never been in charge of the company, this is simply the best thing.
…
They were discussing the filming of the special drama here. Ding Wei couldn't help but shed sour tears when she saw Song Cheng talking freely.
Hey, hey, when you start a company, you have such a good manager. You only need to express your thoughts, and you don’t need to do anything at all.
When she opened a company, she had to start from registration and find her own way.
But considering the size of the two companies, they are completely different. If they really asked her to hire people, she wouldn't be able to afford them right now.
You still need a loan to buy a house.
I can only sigh.
…
Children's special photo dramas are not within the scope of Songcheng's expertise.
He has worked in three entertainment companies, large and small, but basically the heirs failed to live up to expectations, so he was used as a stepping stone or a transitional board.
In those entertainment companies, celebrities compete for celebrity positions, the bosses want to make money, and there are always various unspoken rules in the industry...
He was already used to it.
Who would have thought that Mr. Bai would suddenly recruit me, and I would feel that Xinghai Film and Television is completely weird.
…
The boss doesn't care about anything at all, and the capital injection is abundant. Filming a romantic drama requires a huge investment.
My ideas were wild and unconstrained, and I fancied more and more celebrities, but from beginning to end, I was not even interested in meeting and taking photos with them...
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Bai Shanshan and the others.
They do have celebrities they like, and they want to meet up with them... But it's not that the company's celebrities haven't signed up yet. They're either on vacation or taking final exams. How can they have such free time?
It takes a lot of effort not to fail the course.
…
Song Cheng finally figured it out. These two bosses didn't want to make money at all.
The company was copied from someone else's shell, and the three original screenwriters were already good enough. Unexpectedly, the boss's friend Ding Wei's ideas were even more bizarre.
What they are currently filming is "Legend of the Deep Sea," which is the story of a mermaid.
What is being prepared is a story about the empress called "The Emperor's Heart".
Now add a children's special drama...
Songcheng was in a bit of a dilemma.
He had already figured out how he wanted to shoot this drama, so he said clearly:
"Our company has not signed child actors yet, and many famous child actors now cherish feathers very much. They would rather take on adult dramas that can show off their acting skills. If this kind of drama..."
"What's that?"
Li Mingyi waved her hand nonchalantly:
"If you don't have a child star, just sign it."
"Besides, this play doesn't necessarily require professional actors."
Her analysis was clear and logical: "It's specially for children. No matter what acting skills are required, as long as you can tell a good story."
"You find some kids who don't have stage fright, can perform well, and are good-looking. The script doesn't indicate how old the actors are, so just match the younger ones with the older ones, and whichever one is more suitable will be used..."
"Oh, this is a special effects show."
"Find a director who is experienced in making children's dramas and let him communicate with the special effects company. We don't want those 50-cent special effects."
Song Cheng's face twitched.
——What is the five-cent special effect?
…
"Then the investment in this drama..."
Li Mingyi thought for a while:
"It's for children. It doesn't have to be too detailed. Just two million."
Songcheng:……
He has become numb.
Even if this is an area he doesn't understand, look at those special children's dramas on TV. Which one has an investment of more than 500,000 yuan?
He still has to figure out where to spend your two million!
Then Li Mingyi discussed with Ding Wei and Bai Shanshan:
"I want to design these props myself."
Ding Wei has no objection to this.
First of all, Li Mingyi is the big boss, and the big boss’s hobbies are more important than anything else.
Besides, Li Mingyi originally studied this professionally, but she doesn’t do it often now.
Moreover, she has a broad vision and has seen many good things, and now her designs are even more unique.
As for the Ice Queen's scepter that she just designed, even the image drawn with a pencil made Ding Wei unable to help but feel excited.
She likes it so much, let alone children.
That's not right... what adults and children like may be completely different.
but……
"I think it's okay. Then you can also ask the children if they like it. After all, our main purpose is..."
——Want to defraud money from children.
Oops, it’s so sinister to think like this.
…
Bai Shanshan also nodded.
"I feel very good."
"Sister-in-law, aren't you already doing a great job? You made many of the designs at home, and the children you see also like them very much. I can definitely do better this time."
Song Cheng's eyebrows jumped.
——It seems that he is overthinking. The two million before probably did not include costumes and props.
He remembered the wealthy lady's acting style and quickly advised:
"Since our purpose is to let children collect these, I think it is not appropriate to make too many high-end ones, but rather to make them a little more affordable..."
In other words, a low-end version.
After all, the first thing to do is to create publicity. If the price is too expensive, only one person in the class will have it, and even if others are envious, they won’t have many ideas in their hearts.
But if there is an advantage in price and everyone in the class has it but I don’t, then arrangements must be made.
Song Cheng, who has a daughter, knows this very well.
Thinking of this, his heart moved.
"If you don't have to choose mature actors, can my daughter do it?"
His daughter is dressing up in bedsheets and pretending to be a fairy at home every day. After working at the company, she comes home at night and braids dolls' hair and sews clothes with her daughter...
Thinking of this, Song Cheng quickly took out the photos in his wallet.
"Look, this is my daughter. She is nine years old. She likes to act in TV series whenever she has nothing to do."
"We don't want a salary, we just hope we can have a role in this drama."
Songcheng actually looks pretty good.
After all, in an entertainment company, the appearance of the top and bottom should be consistent.
It can be seen that his daughter is not bad in appearance either.
Ding Wei came over and took a look. Although the little girl was only nine years old, she probably had enough nutrition. In the photo with Song Cheng, she looked like she was eleven or twelve years old.
When I was eleven or twelve years old, I could go to junior high school.
Don't underestimate children at this time, they may not be mentally mature enough or have enough experience.
But for things like performing, the less experienced the child is, the more likely the child will be able to do it without fear of hardship or fatigue.
Anyway, a duck is released, and a group of ducks are chased...
Ding Wei looked at Bai Shanshan:
"What do you think?"
How can Bai Shanshan feel?
She thought the little girl was pretty and cute: "Okay."
Li Mingyi sighed at the side: "Why didn't I think of this when Annie was a kid?"
Annie obviously loves playing Prince Charming in class performances.
Bai Shanshan also remembered:
"Ah, by the way, Weiwei, didn't you say before that there is a girl named Tuan Tuan who seems to be suitable? Would she be willing to act?"
…
Yes, she is the woman who got Tuantuan’s QQ account, and she has been chatting a lot online during this period.
However, the other party was young after all, and his online time was limited. Ding Wei just mentioned it casually, and she was immediately interested and asked questions every day...
I think so.
A girl who can shout Sakura's slogan while driving a bumper car must also have such a dream.
And what child doesn’t?
…
Song Cheng did not respond, but said cautiously:
"Children still have to communicate with their parents before signing a contract."
"Then, why don't we search for interested children in the circle? After all, the parents have experience, and the children will definitely not be stage frightened."
It will be much easier for the director to shoot.
"When it's almost time to make an appointment, how about contacting the other person's parents and bringing them over for a joint audition?"
He looked at Li Mingyi: "Mr. Li."
"In this case, there will be a buffer time. Maybe you can arrange a few more assistants to speed up the progress and make the first batch of costumes and props."
After thinking for a while, he emphasized: "The low-end version will do."
Li Mingyi was a little speechless.
Of course she understands this!
But does the clothing factory have its own? If not, it seems that time is a bit tight to acquire it now.
As a result, three actors have already been cast for the special children's drama before preparations have even begun.
The daughter of the deputy director of Yanzi TV Station, the bumper car driver Tuantuan, and the daughter of Song Cheng.
It's really fast.
…
"By the way," Ding Wei handed over several of her scripts.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Song. I just learned to write scripts. I may not write well in some places, but don't our company have experienced screenwriters? You can ask them to help."
There are two scripts in total.
One is the story of the Empress, now renamed "The Emperor's Heart".
The other one is the children's special drama just now called "The Guardian Calls".
Ding Wei racked her brains for this name, referencing Ultraman, the Armored Warrior, Balala the Little Demon Fairy, and the Dancing Goddess, etc.
Too south.
It's so difficult for children.
…
Song Cheng took the script and glanced at it before he saw the embarrassing lines in "The Guardian Calls".
"The power hidden in nature, please help me, the call from Milan, the guardian of the Flower Kingdom - energy transformation!"
Although it was just a glance, this powerful and powerful line that made people feel like being in the second class couldn't help but be firmly imprinted in Song Chengliao's mind.
So much so that he couldn't get rid of the rotating subtitles for a long time.
At this moment, he couldn't help but look at Ding Wei with strange eyes, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: No wonder he could write a story about a mermaid with fangs. Now that he is thinking about writing a story about children, he can actually write a story about children from such a strange angle!
In response, Ding Wei said that she really didn't have the ability.
This is also based on many TV series.
Besides, adults find it embarrassing, but children don’t!
On the contrary, they thought this line was very good.
Thinking about the children on the train running around and doing their own special effects when she went home, Ding Wei was quite confident anyway.
…
After arranging these things and having a simple meal, they wanted to go to the set to take a look.
After all, this is the first drama after the establishment of the company, and Song Cheng seems to be very attentive and keeps track of the progress.
Now while driving, I was explaining to the three of them.
"The filming of Mermaid is progressing very smoothly. The director we hired is also very experienced in this area. I have seen the footage and it is very beautiful. The whole story is also very moving."
He was quite reserved. In fact, judging from the pictures he saw, they were really unusually beautiful.
It feels like you can make a poster by taking a screenshot of any scene.
It's no wonder that it's not good. It's a big investment, and the money is not bad. The control is strict, and there are no messy things. Everyone is very attentive.
In addition, many artists, large and small, are contracted by the company. Only a few of them have added supporting roles from other companies in order to maintain industry relationships.
Even though the newly signed stars were moved by the prospect, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Now that they had a great opportunity to showcase themselves, it was still their first drama. They were all working hard and couldn't think of all the mess.
Not to mention that the heroine Lin Shuangshuang practiced step by step from Xiaobai to what she is now, but her face, during the audition, no one could match her face.
There is also the male protagonist Chen Tianhai.
He is twenty-seven years old this year, the golden age for a male star.
But what's the use?
Being dragged down by the previous company, I acted in a variety of TV series, but there was no male lead in an idol drama.
If you want to attract fans, this is the fastest way!
Now that the contract has been transferred to the new company, the first thing to do is to arrange it for him, and he deliberately did not find the other three to partner up, hoping to slowly get rid of their history of forming a group to act in dramas.
This couldn't be better for Chen Tianhai.
Song Cheng was afraid that the bosses didn't understand this business, so he talked about everything in detail, while Ding Wei's thinking only focused on what he said: every screenshot can be used as a poster...
At this moment, he quickly asked: "Have the makeup photos been arranged? When is the trailer going to be released for publicity? Also, has the poster been completed?"
After three consecutive profits, Song Cheng was ashamed.
After all, he is a businessman today, and he has never thought of so many ways to make money!
…
Today, Chen Tianhai is sitting on a yacht, wearing a truly high-end suit and sunglasses, with his legs crossed and a glass of red wine in one hand, quite comfortable.
This is a scene from the play.
For this scene, the company provided a large yacht and specially asked Chen Tianhai to quickly learn how to drink red wine in a noble and beautiful way without deliberately drinking red wine.
As for high-end suits...
Chen Tianhai looked at the casual shoes on his feet. A large logo was printed on them.
It is said to be investment from overseas, but this kind of investment usually does not appear in idol dramas.
I was afraid of breaking my feet when I stepped on them.
Not to mention that he was wearing a suit that was said to be an Italian brand. The director said that it would be available in the largest shopping mall in the imperial capital when the TV series is released.
A tie costs five figures for a single item.
This made Chen Tianhai even more excited.
Think about what he wore in previous dramas?
Even if he plays the richest emperor, the total cost of his entire outfit does not exceed 500 yuan.
Nowadays, even the tie tied loosely around the neck costs five figures.
At first, he couldn't let go because he was afraid that his clothes would be damaged.
…
As a result, the director, who couldn't bear it anymore, called him over and pointed at the camera to let him see for himself.
"You are a CEO! You are a tyrannical CEO! Are these clothes money to you? What's the difference between dropping fifty cents on the floor? You probably don't even bother to pick them up!"
"But look at your movements, you're so timid and can't let go at all. It's like a fake! Are the clothes wearing you or are you wearing clothes?!"
The assistant director also taught him:
"As for you, don't think about the price of these things. These are all reimbursed by the company. If nothing else, just think about it - well, I earned another 100 million today, how will I spend it? The clothes on my body are just mediocre, not worth it.
Just mention..."
"Recite it several times a day, and the feeling will come out."
The two directors have high salaries and big investments, and the crew has peace of mind. I don't know how happy they are. They are also doing their jobs very conscientiously now, and their curses are gentler.
…
Chen [ ] Tianhai couldn’t laugh or cry.
His acting skills are really good.
At this moment, I changed my mind and acted the role of the noble, domineering and casual CEO with ease.
At the same time, the script writer is also a genius, and his stinginess in small details is very vivid.
When several nearby cameras took pictures of him enjoying himself on the yacht, Song Cheng also brought everyone here.
…
"I remember that many scenes in this drama needed to be shot at the beach. Isn't this necessary?"
From a distance, I saw the yacht floating on a large and deep pond specially built by the crew...well, it can be considered a pond considering its size.
Li Mingyi asked curiously.
The director team had already come over to chat, and Song Cheng asked everyone to return to work. Then he introduced the director: "These are the two bosses of the company, Mr. Li and Mr. Bai."
"This is our special screenwriter, Miss Ding."
The director was obviously stunned for a moment.
The one who can be treated like this by Song Cheng must be the real boss.
As for Miss Ding... she was following the two big bosses and was introduced like this by Mr. Song...
In short, just be polite.
The two directors looked at each other and seemed to have found the reason why this drama is worth investing in.
——Women just know how to spend money.
It would be great if investors were all such prodigal bitches!
But they only dare to think about this kind of thinking in their hearts, they are not fools.
…
The person who came was obviously the big boss, but the heroine was changing clothes, and the hero was dragged into the middle of the water by the yacht. At this moment, he stood up awkwardly, holding the glass of red wine helplessly in his hand.
I still have to maintain my posture on a somewhat unstable yacht.
too difficult.
Fortunately, Li Mingyi came over just to see the scene during the filming, so Song Cheng immediately said wisely: "Stop hanging around, do whatever you need to do, let's just take a look."
The assistant director continued to explain:
"Mr. Li, after the crew started filming, we set off to the beach. There were fewer people at that time, so it was easier to shoot the scene, and we finished shooting all the scenes about the sea."
"But some scenes..."
He pointed to the big pool and the big yacht ahead:
"We have also shot this scene at sea, and now we are shooting it again just to get a cleaner and more beautiful view, so that we can have one more choice when editing."
They couldn't be too far away from the seaside, and sometimes it was difficult to shoot some scenes, especially those underwater, to create that transparent, dreamy, deep and mysterious feeling.
But it's different in this self-built pool.
Rockery, coral, shells, pearls, you can play with them however you want. You want the darkness of the deep sea and the deep blue in the middle, as well as the light blue above and the amber skylight on the surface...
What's wrong?
…
"Is the progress so fast?"
The beach scene ended in just over a week?
Ding Wei was a little puzzled.
The assistant director said politely:
"We have been preparing for it for a month or two. The script was sent out early, and the shots were made together. Some of the looks and scenes to be shot are all in our minds."
"The actors should know how to play in water, and all of them have been given swimming training and diving training."
After all, when normal people go swimming, their expressions are not that beautiful. Moreover, mermaids have to wear a big fishtail when entering the water, so they have to be careful not to flap their legs.
It can be seen that Lin Shuangshuang, who has the most underwater scenes, has really been in and out of water this year.
However, their shooting is not based on step-by-step breakdown, but depends on the scene arrangement.
The episode filmed today is the fifth episode in the script. The plot has not progressed for too long, and CEO Jenson has not really developed feelings for the mermaid yet.
He only wants to make money.
Therefore, I am still worried about the mermaid having human legs, and I still want to change it back to its original appearance.
As for beauty and charm...
Humph, where can money come from the domineering president Jenson?
The scene later is on the sea. The president asks the mermaid to go into the sea and turn into a real mermaid for him to see.
…
Just as the explanation came to this point, the heroine came out.
Ding Wei and others turned their heads, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Lin Shuangshuang used to be pretty, very pretty.
Otherwise, Ding Wei would not have thought of her as the heroine, but now, after the crew's makeup and transformation, she has completely transformed into that beautiful and moving mermaid.
Her hair was carefully taken over, and there was no trace of it at all at the moment. However, she used an electric curling iron to create a curly arc, and it hung down to her waist.
What she was wearing was a long white dress.
The gauze of the skirt is light and transparent, fluttering slightly in the cold wind.
Just by looking at it, you can tell how beautiful the layers of yarn are rippling in the sea.
…
Bai Shanshan shivered suddenly, then rubbed her hands:
"It's so difficult to be an actor. Not only do you have to wear a skirt, you also have to get into the water..."
She looked melancholy at her fat belly that was covered by her down jacket. At this moment, she couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a ball of fat floating on the water.
Ding Wei smiled: "After all, every walk of life has its own difficulties."
When an actor makes more money, he has to put in more effort.
Looking at Lin Shuangshuang's expression, it was clear that he was very calm.
That's right, after all, I don't know how many underwater scenes have been filmed. She should have been mentally prepared when she was training.
…
Lin Shuangshuang didn't see any of them.
She was barefoot and was put on the yacht by the staff.
Her long seaweed-like hair was spread around her chest. She was lying on the back half of the yacht, her two white calves swaying comfortably, and her fingers were still playing with the sea water.
Her fair calves, fair arms, flawless fingers, and even her nails were carefully polished with a layer of transparent nail polish.
The staff was lighting her at the side, making her even more pure and flawless.
This close-up continued several times from various camera positions, and Lin Shuangshuang's expression did not change. He still looked so carefree and untroubled by the world.
Only then did Ding Wei confirm that the other party had definitely worked hard.
…
Until the director shouted "click", she quickly arranged her clothes again. The assistant climbed up and re-layed the skirt next to her, and the next prop was randomly placed next to her.
The more Ding Wei and others looked at it, the more interesting it became. At this moment, they went over and found that the overbearing president Janson was sitting on the recliner, drinking comfortably.
The mermaid played in the water for a while, seemed to feel bored, and secretly took out a Big Mac burger from the side.
The burger was really big, almost as big as her little face. The mermaid looked left and right with smart eyes, then cautiously turned slightly sideways, put her hands together, and flattened the Big Mac burger!
!
At this moment, the big close-up also follows.
…
"Click!"
shouted the director.
"Change the burger, readjust the angle, and remember to show the brand."
The staff quickly took over the flattened burger and selected another plump one.
This time the bag was adjusted, Lin Shuangshuang also looked at it for a while, then changed the direction of the force of his palm, trying to expose the bag of the burger.
Seeing this, the assistant director did not forget to flatter him:
"Thanks to Mr. Song's active contact, we have already made back our investment through such quiet advertising placement! What a great idea!"
After all, I still don’t know the future of TV, so I just recorded my name in a slightly vague way, and the price I gave is not high.
But from the expensive clothes to the burgers like this, including the fruit drinks that the hero and heroine love to drink, none of them are deliberate, but they are indeed memorable.
After some calculations, Songcheng calculated that the advertising fees alone totaled more than two million.
The total investment for this TV series was only 2 million.
Some luxury brands will definitely not get advertising fees. If people are willing to show their face here, it is already a great honor.
Song Cheng thought numbly: ...Actually, he was just following orders.
He was really incompetent in the past when it came to making money.
…
But the director was completely satisfied.
He even felt that the company Xinghai was really extraordinary.
When we were shooting TV shows for other companies, everyone was trying every possible means to save money. This company was not only not saving money, but also squandering everything. Moreover, only one-third of the TV series was shot, and the investment money had already been earned back.
…
Alas, in this way, the subsequent filming will be even less burdensome. It is easy for him to exert 120% of his strength!
…
Look at this actor again.
This, this, this... is perfect!
There is a male protagonist and a male partner, and a female protagonist and a female partner. No one is ugly!
Perfect!
Maybe this drama will become his famous work as a director.
Thinking of this, the director became more and more passionate.
…
He then started filming.
The heroine flattened the burger again, then looked nervously in front of her, and found that Janson didn't seem to notice. Then she relaxed and opened her mouth wide, ah woo!
There was a big gaping hole in the burger.
Actually this is not difficult.
It's just that many female celebrities simply won't eat like this for the sake of image.
Nowadays, everyone wants to make celebrities less down-to-earth, and foodie characters haven’t even appeared yet!
But Lin Shuangshuang doesn’t have any idol baggage.
She comes here just to make money. With such a high salary, she must do a good job!
Therefore, she is the director's favorite actor, and she will do whatever others say.
The more this happens, the more natural and unpretentious her expression becomes, fresh and refined. Coupled with her beauty bonus and the director's skill...
Looking at her in the camera, I just think she is cute and cute, not rude at all.
…
Her cheeks were bulging, and the CEO in front of her, Janson, suddenly turned around, and the mermaid conveniently hid the burger under her skirt.
The movements are quite skillful.
She even turned her head to one side, her thick long hair hanging down, blocking her cheeks that were still chewing.
President Jenson didn't notice this, he just sighed.
He said melancholy:
"As for me, I always repay kindness."
"You saved me, kept my company's stock price from falling, and made a lot of money. I'll let you go and won't send you to the exhibition."
He got up from the recliner and now slowly walked to the mermaid.
Multiple camera positions were added, which also showed off his long legs and close-up shoes.
The domineering president wore a casual and free-spirited suit with a wide open collar and a loose tie that looked the same as if it were not tied.
He knelt down, knelt on one knee, and held the mermaid's thick long hair back with one hand, and then lifted her chin.
It creates an ambiguous atmosphere to the extreme.
…
The mermaid had now swallowed the last bit of food in her mouth.
She stared at the president with confused and curious eyes.
"Click!"
"Chen Tianhai, look more natural and relax!"
The director shouted with a loudspeaker.
Chen Tianhai took a deep breath, made an OK gesture to the outside of the large pool, and then repositioned himself.
The makeup artist was also hired at a high price. Chen Tianhai's face looks like he has no makeup, but in fact, his eyebrows, bridge of nose, and sides of his face have all been retouched. Now, every photo of him on the plane is a retouched poster.
To be honest, when he saw his stills, Chen Tianhai couldn't believe how handsome he was.
But at this moment...
He concentrated his mind and immersed himself in the role wholeheartedly.
…
"But, you mermaid, I have already repaid you for saving your life by not sending you to the exhibition. You have been eating and drinking at my place for so long, don't you plan to please me?"
His eyes looked downward.
Beneath the layers of white gauze, the smooth and white calves and soles of the feet are clearly exposed.
The director is indeed a master. When Bai Shanshan looked at it, she had forgotten her little jealousy before and even felt a little excited.
She is so pretty, no wonder Weiwei likes her!
Li Mingyi didn't change her expression, but she was thinking in her heart that she would also arrange for a full-body essential oil spa later, and she must also maintain her whole body so smooth and flawless.
…
Ding Wei looked at it again and again, but she was thinking--it looked so good in the camera, so the director had already learned how to adjust the filter by this time?
The equipment is not yet at this level.
He carefully looked around the yacht and found that there were several young men lighting up the yacht. He thought they were using lights to create this dreamy feeling.
She couldn't help but feel that the director was very good at it.
…
The skilled director now zoomed in on the camera, focusing on the close contact between the two.
The CEO held the mermaid's chin and slowly and ambiguously moved closer to her ear.
"The little mermaid has eaten so much of me, now can you let me see your fish tail?"
After he finished speaking, he stood up directly.
This movement has also been carefully trained by professional instructors. It gives people a sense of beauty at first sight. The domineering president slowly took a step back and pointed his finger at the sea at this moment——
Okay, pool noodles.
"Come on, let me see."
The little mermaid moved her legs, and a familiar paper bag appeared on the edge of her skirt.
She looked nervous for a moment, pretending not to understand and refusing to move.
The president was very dissatisfied:
"We have arranged roast duck for lunch, don't you want to eat it?"
The little mermaid's eyes suddenly lit up, and she could no longer think of the burger hidden under her skirt. Then without saying a word, she walked to the yacht with her skirt in hand, stretched her arms forward, and jumped directly into the sea!
Jensen looked at the big hamburger on the boat that had been bitten into, his expression was speechless.
…
This pool was built by ourselves, and the edges are made of transparent glass. The photographers did not need to enter the water at all, they could start shooting directly through that layer of glass.
The aircraft position has been fixed.
The assistant director didn't care to say anything and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
The underwater angle was also rehearsed in advance. Under the pull of the rope, the mermaid slowly rotated in the water, like an elegant and dreamy jellyfish, with the skirt spreading out in layers.
Like an epiphyllum in the deep sea.
Mysterious, elegant, people can't help but want to get close, and it seems to be full of poison...
And in this slow rotation, the mermaid's legs come together...
"Click!"
"do it again!"
There was nothing wrong with what I just shot, but the director was striving for perfection and had to make more lens choices so that he could create the most beautiful scenes during editing.
Bai Shanshan approached Ding Wei at this moment.
"Weiwei, I think your vision is really good now. It's so uncomfortable to hold your breath underwater, but look at Lin Shuangshuang's expression, so comfortable, as if the sea is really her home!"
But when the director shouted "click", she was immediately pulled up. She immediately reached out to wipe the water from her face, and then gasped for air.
All that's left is embarrassment.
…
Apparently I had been holding my breath for a long time this time.
For this short shot, Lin Shuangshuang shot it underwater more than a dozen times before he finally got the complete shot.
After all, the time a person can hold her breath is limited, not to mention that she still has to move in the water.
The weather was so cold, and now she was pulled up shivering, wrapped in a blanket, and the little sun was scorching, making her face look even more pale.
However, the rest time will not be too long.
The makeup artist here is touching up her makeup and rearranging her hair, and there is an assistant rubbing her frozen calves over there.
After I am able to move around, I will put on the fish tail again, and then take pictures of the fish tail swimming in the sea.
This requires a lot of aesthetics, and it's probably going to be another long tug-of-war.
Even Chen Tianhai on the side couldn't help but admire the actress's hard work.
With such hard work and such a face, it is simply unbearable that he is not famous.
…
It was only a ten-minute shot on TV, but the crew took a whole afternoon to shoot it.
It lasted nearly four hours, and Li Mingyi couldn't help but be a little shocked.
"Does it take so long to shoot every time?"
She just invested in this company on a whim, and filming TV series was just to satisfy her little hobby, but she didn't expect actors today to work so hard.
The director was looking at the camera and explaining about Song Cheng next to him.
He has also watched the entire filming process, and now he has more and more confidence in the drama.
With such quality, if he can't sell it at a high price, he will be sorry for his salary!
He originally thought that this new artist signed by the company was a member of the relationship, but now it seems that if all the people in the relationship can be of this level, he would laugh to death.
It must be praised, it must be praised!
…
"No, some plots progress very quickly in daily life. Both actors are very talented and spiritual, and they are also very skilled. Sometimes they can complete an episode in one day."
But that's just a daily scene. It's normal for underwater scenes like this to take time.
Ding Wei had already walked to Lin Shuangshuang.
Her role was too difficult, so the company assigned two assistants. One of them was wiping her hair, and while wiping it, he tried his best to lean towards the little sun, hoping to dry it as soon as possible.
The other one covered her body with baby warmers and was rubbing her calves and feet.
During the five hours of filming, she was in the water for nearly three hours. Although it was intermittently, and the weather was cold, the water temperature would be slightly warmer, but after all, the temperature was here, and her clothes were so thin...
…
At this moment, Lin Shuangshuang's eyes were closed tightly, and his lips were a little purple.
Ding Wei couldn't help but feel distressed:
"Do you find it hard?"
…
Lin Shuangshuang opened her eyes and immediately laughed when she saw it was her.
"Sister Weiwei."
The two assistants glanced at her and turned sideways silently.
Ding Wei was a little embarrassed:
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was so hard before I introduced you here."
She had only seen some filming scenes in TV highlights and videos, but she didn't know that filming in reality would be ten thousand times more difficult than she knew.
Lin Shuangshuang also laughed:
"Sister Weiwei, what did you say?"
She didn't feel it was hard at all. Not to mention how much effort and money the company spent on hiring coaches and teachers for her, there was a dedicated swimming coach to teach her to warm up every time before she went into the water.
It looks very cold, but in fact, in terms of hard work, it is not as hard as her previous work of chopping firewood, collecting hogweed, or going to the pond to wash clothes all morning in winter!
At that time, everyone had to do all the work by themselves, and they were not even fed.
…
She was quite satisfied: "The company has been very good to me. Look at them, they just assigned me an assistant. Most newcomers don't get this treatment at all."
"I heard from other people that I know that for a newcomer like me, the salary for a TV series, even if I am the protagonist, will not exceed 80,000 yuan."
Especially those with capital and back-end are another matter.
"But I signed a contract with the crew, and the offer here is 200,000!"
She was extremely happy.
"The company also bought me insurance. This money is enough for a down payment. If I take on another movie, I can maintain the loan for a period of time!"
"Sister Weiwei, if you just work hard for a few months, I can make money for several years!"
"Thank you for thinking about me. Even if I go into the water today, I will take the medicine to regulate my body later. I will not be hard on my body. The nutritionist said that only when the body is well, the face will be beautiful!"
She blinked, feeling a little proud:
"People say my face is very photogenic. I must protect my job!"
"Besides," she said nonchalantly: "With such a high salary, if I can't do this job well, wouldn't it be too unprofessional?"
Ding Wei also became happy:
"Face is just a bonus, your real job is your hard work."
Whether working in a hotel, working in a beauty salon, or now entering the entertainment industry...
Lin Shuangshuang worked so hard.
As long as I can keep it up...
She winked at Lin Shuangshuang:
"The person who brought us here is the boss of the company. He has seen your performance. You will definitely not worry about filming opportunities in the future."
