Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

"No." Chen Xiao smiled and waved his hands."Actor Zeng, why are you here so early? Did the assistant director inform you that we can start shooting early?"

Zeng Wei was stunned.

"Shooting in advance? Is there something wrong with some actor, so it needs to be postponed?"

Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head,"The shooting went very smoothly, and now one-third of it has been shot. The originally planned 20-day shoot was finished in 15 days. Considering that you are in Shanghai and it is inconvenient to change the schedule, I wanted to move your scene to the later stage."

Zeng Wei's eyes widened.

Shooting one-third of it?

Is this a rocket ride?

If he hadn't just talked with the director of photography and the actors, he would really believe what the outside world said, that Chen Xiao ignored the quality and rushed to shoot.

He tentatively asked,"I know that you direct well and the actors act well, but don't you need to keep a few backups?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said,"Yes, we usually shoot twice."

Zeng Wei's mouth trembled.

Others shoot more than ten times, you shoot twice?

All of them are finished products, right?

What he didn't know was that Chen Xiao had already planned every scene in his mind.

The current shooting is just the execution of the plan.

Of course the speed is fast.

Chen Xiao originally planned to finish the shooting in 2 months.

When he arrived at the scene, he found that he explained the play to the actors first, and the actors' performance success rate was very high, so the speed was higher than expected.

It is estimated that it will be completed in one and a half months.

Now it has been shot for two weeks, so there is only one month left, and the shooting will be completed.

After post-production and approval, it will be released.

Chen Xiao also saw that he did not come here in advance for shooting, and went straight to the point and asked:"Teacher Zeng, you came here early, is there anything wrong?"

Zeng Wei came back to his senses.

He came to the crew, first, to see how the crew was running, and second, to talk to the screenwriter about the script.

He had just asked Qiao Sen, and the screenwriter was not in the crew, so if he had any questions, he could just ask the director.

But he was very proud.

Looking at Chen Xiao, who was in his early 20s in front of him, he really couldn't open his mouth.

It would be better to observe at the shooting site these days, maybe he would have a deeper understanding!

With this plan, Zeng Wei smiled and changed the subject:"Director Chen, I heard that the actor for the elderly Ruth has not been decided yet?"

Chen Xiao nodded,"Not yet."

Originally, a well-known veteran actress was chosen, and she agreed to take the role.

But after Cai Ji left, he persuaded her to leave as well.

The old senior was indeed a friend of Cai Ji, and was equally outspoken. He didn't even bother to find a reason, and bluntly said that he didn't want to lose his integrity in his later years, so he refused to act.

Since she said so, the crew couldn't persuade her to stay, so they could only look for another actor.

These days, he has been busy with filming and production-related matters, and hasn't had time to find someone to take over.

Chen Xiao looked at Zeng Wei,"Teacher Zeng, you have a wide network of contacts and a lot of knowledge, do you have anyone to recommend?"

Zeng Wei thought for a moment, his eyes lit up,"There really is one. Senior Ge Ya!"

But immediately, he seemed to think of something, and lowered his voice and said:

"But I have to remind you that she happened to be the supporting actress to Senior Liu before. The relationship between the two later broke up. Senior Liu is a person who speaks his mind and openly mocked her for never being able to make it in her life. If you ask Teacher Ge Ya to play the role, don't mention Senior Liu."The

Senior Liu he mentioned is the actress who refused to play Ruth.

Zeng Wei continued:"Senior Ge Ya is a very good person, but she has been acting for a lifetime and has never become famous. It's a pity. You can search, there should be her information on the Internet."

Chen Xiao nodded, took out his mobile phone, and searched for Ge Ya's information.

A lively, honest and lovely old lady popped up on the webpage.

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.

This is simply the elderly version of Ruth walking out of the text!

This senior Ge Ya rarely acts, and he didn't see her when he watched the popular movies in recent years.

This is more suitable than Senior Liu who quit!

Chen Xiao looked at Zeng Wei,"I think it's very suitable!"

"OK, I know her well, I'll help you contact her"

"Thank you, Mr. Zeng."

Chen Xiao glanced at the photo on his phone again.

Never become famous in your life?

As long as Teacher Ge Ya agrees to act and perform the story of the elderly Ruth.

This film will definitely bring her to the peak of her acting career in her later years.

After all, in the world before, the actress who played the elderly Ruth became famous all over the world with this film.

She was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, becoming the oldest nominee in history. She won the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress the following year!

"Then you go ahead, I'm going to meet someone I know." Zeng Wei greeted him, exchanged a few polite words, and then walked towards the actor's lounge.

……

Night fell.

In the noisy crowd, four musicians stopped playing and looked into the distance nervously.

The band conductor Hartley turned around and said to the members:"That's it."

"Goodbye and good luck"

"Goodbye, old friend."

The musicians said goodbye to each other and left with their cellos and violins.

Hartley looked into the distance.

His breathing was a little rapid, but his movements were elegant and full of artistic atmosphere.

He raised his violin again and played the melodious"Close to the Sky".

The three musicians heard the sound, stopped and walked back.

From solo to ensemble.

In the panicked crowd, the four people seemed to be in another world, playing melodious music.……

"OK, passed!"

After Chen Xiao raised his hand to signal, he rubbed his brows and closed his eyes to think about the screen design of the movie.

Next, the music played by the band continued.

The screen switched, with this music as the background, showing the various human nature in the face of death.

The captain staring at the water level flooding the window in the cab, the cruise ship designer turning the clock, the old rich couple hugging each other to die, the mother telling bedtime stories to her children... and the ordinary people who took off the life jacket of the shot person, Carl who pretended to be the father of the child in order to survive...

On the set.

Seeing him lost in thought, the staff around him slowed down their movements for fear of disturbing him. After half a month of contact, everyone clearly realized that this chief director in his twenties was really the backbone of the entire crew. He was polite and talented.

The scene he imagined in his mind now may become a classic clip in the future!

Qiao Sen, who played the band conductor, was full of joy on his face.

After more than ten NGs yesterday, he finally passed!

He walked aside gently, wanting to wait for Chen Xiao to give more instructions A few words.

Opposite him, the bearded director of photography, Capone, grinned and gave him a thumbs up.

Capone was also waiting for Chen Xiao, waiting to communicate with him about the next scene.

He stared at the monitor, his eyes flashing with excitement.

This scene is several levels higher than yesterday!

He glanced at Chen Xiao, his eyes full of admiration.

Two weeks ago, he was called over to replace Cai Ji as the director of photography.

Anyway, he had never been able to direct any good films, so he came here with an indifferent attitude.

After three days, he clearly realized that the opportunity had come!

Although the outside world thought they were shooting a crappy commercial to make money.

Even his former director of photography said that the crew was messing around under the blind command of a young man.

But he knew very well that if this film maintained its current shooting rhythm, it would definitely become the dark horse of the film industry this year!

No, it is the dark horse of the past five years!

And he, with the help of Chen Xiao, may be able to win the first photography award in his life!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help humming in his heart and shaking his legs.
