Entertainment: The joy of being a director is beyond your imagination

Chapter 78 78. The shooting begins, call out to mom first! (4500 words long chapter! Please read on!!)
On the morning of November 26th, we debugged the equipment and camera positions.

At 2 o'clock that afternoon, filming of Manslaughter began.

The filming is not done in the order in which the movie is shot.

For example, the daughter Pingping, played by Reba, should have appeared on stage first. After all, the plot of the movie is that the daughter Pingping was molested and videotaped by the son of the female villain. However, Reba has only been taking acting classes for less than a year and has not yet learned the acting skills systematically. In addition, it was her first time appearing in a movie, so she was overly nervous.

With all these factors combined, Pei Ran decided to do whatever was convenient, so today he jumped directly to the plot where "her mother A-Yu discovered that her daughter was molested and filmed on video. A-Yu decided to privately call her son Sucha, the female villain, home to resolve the matter."

The reason for choosing to shoot this scene first is very simple.

Let the "old hand" Yang Mi help Reba get into the state first.

The male lead Li Weijie, played by Pei Ran, will not appear in this scene. He can closely monitor the performance of Reba and Yang Mi on the monitor to prescribe the right medicine.

……

The heroine A Yu, played by Yang Mi, is a typical housewife.

And because her family was not wealthy, the clothes that Ah Yu wore were those washed-out shirts, and her skin color was also darker, so for Yang Mi, this was actually making her look ugly.

But Yang Mi didn't care about this.

This made Pei Ran give her a thumbs up.

But soon the thumbs-up turned upside down again.

This plot revolves around the female villain's sons Sucha and Ayu. When Sucha learned that his mother Ayu knew about his molestation of Pingping, he was not afraid, but even wanted to let the mother and daughter come together...

Ayu refused and tried to grab the phone, but was beaten by Sucha.

This is definitely a Steel Rose scene.

Yang Mi thought she could have a great time acting, but after filming began she found out that there was no such thing as a great time. Pei Ran's strict requirements even almost tortured her to tears.

Take for example the scene where she tried to grab the phone but didn't have enough strength and was thrown away.

From the start of the shoot until about 4pm...

Two hours passed and she had been thrown out five or six times. Although soft cushions had been laid out in advance, she would sometimes bump into things accidentally, which made her really want to cry.

But Pei Ran kept reshooting.

I never meant to shout at all.

To be honest, Yang Mi has begun to suspect that Pei Ran, you little bastard, are you taking this opportunity to take revenge on me for not agreeing to sleep with you last night? !
Yang Mi was so tired.

But at the same time, I was really pushed into a corner.

You want to take the photo, right?! I will accompany you till the end!!!

The big Mimi, who can compete with Pei Ran in a war of words and can even tease Pei Ran, has returned completely!
At this moment, she was not thinking about the hidden rules. She was thinking about filming this scene well, filming this scene well! Let the little bastard know that he was right to choose her! And for those dead black fans who compared her acting skills with Jing Tian, ​​I will not be developed!!!
So, another half hour of reshoots.

Finally, after Yang Mi put in all her effort to portray the anger and resentment that the heroine Ayu felt when she saw her daughter being molested, and even the desire to kill.

Pei Ran, holding the loudspeaker, shouted:
"Ok."

"This is over."

"Yang Mi, take a break for ten minutes. The makeup artist will come over to touch up your makeup!"

"Stage staff, please clean up the venue. We are going to prepare for the next scene."

The next scene is when Ayu and Sucha are fighting over the cell phone, and the daughter Pingping takes a stick and hits Sucha unconscious.

I heard Pei Ran shout "click".

Yang Mi immediately collapsed on the cushion in a very ungraceful manner.

Little fan girl Reba immediately took the water cup and towel, her little face full of envy, "Sister Mi! You acted so well just now, I was scared by your expression!!"

"Really?" Yang Mi's smile was uglier than crying. "Forget about the towel. I also need to touch up my makeup."

He immediately took Yang Mi's cup of water and started drinking it.

Reba looked at Yang Mi's miserable state and asked with concern, "Sister Mi, I saw you got your arm bumped when you were dumped just now. Doesn't it hurt? Otherwise, let's talk to Director Pei and have some more rest."

Hearing this, Yang Mi didn't even have this intention, "Forget it, it's just a minor injury, there's no need to go to him. Look at how stubborn he is. If you really want to rest more because of this minor injury, who knows how he will scold you."

"Ah? Director Pei would scold people because of this? I always thought that Director Pei was gentle, easy-going, and very patient." Reba squatted beside Yang Mi and said in a low voice.

Gentle and easygoing? Patient?

That's right for you!
Not to mention when they were filming, when this guy wanted her body, he was like a hungry wolf. Yang Mi was afraid that if she compromised a little, this guy would just tear off her clothes, spread her legs and go straight to her stomach!

"Maybe." Yang Mi said perfunctorily, "It'll be fine if you shoot well. After all, you're a rookie, and Pei Ran won't treat you the same way he treats me."

Hear this.

Reba's little head began to turn, and the expression on her face gradually became serious. She said in a deep voice:
"Sister Mi, is there a possibility that Director Pei Ran is being so strict with you on purpose? After all, there are many veterans in the crew, and President Pei is so young. If he doesn't make an example of them first, those veterans won't be convinced, and may even pretend to obey and do things perfunctorily!?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi's mouth twitched.

Reba continued, "Director Pei uses you to establish his authority because you are the most famous among this group of people, and you are also the most disobedient old-fashioned one!"

Yang Mi was speechless.

She reached out and tapped Reba gently on the head.

"I'm not some old, disobedient old fox, and your assumptions are probably not true."

"Why?" Reba asked puzzledly.

Although she has never been in a film crew.

But after all, I was studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and I had heard of such things as killing a chicken to scare the monkeys on the crew.

"Because this film was organized and shot by Pei Ran, the two giants Huaying and Wanda each received a 20% investment share. But even so, the two giants did not send anyone to supervise the production, which shows that the two companies trust Pei Ran very much."

"Based on this alone, those old-timers you mentioned wouldn't dare to resort to those lip service tactics. Moreover, although Pei Ran is young, this is not his first play. His previous play has already proved his ability. With these two factors combined, which old-timer is so ignorant as to deliberately provoke him?"

“…Ah, yes, is that so?” Reba laughed twice to ease the embarrassment.

Yang Mi didn't deliberately make fun of Reba because of this incident. She looked at Pei Ran who was talking to the assistant director Xin Yukun not far away, and said with some emotion:
"Although this guy is very strict, I have to say he is really good at directing. The entire crew is under his control. Everyone says he is talented and a genius. But in my opinion, the reason why he can compete with older directors like Feng Gangpao right after his debut is probably because of his strong directing ability."

"Is it is it?"

After being embarrassed for a few seconds because she had just guessed wrong why Pei Ran was so strict, Xiao Reba immediately picked up Yang Mi's words, "I also think Director Pei Ran is amazing, he's handsome, talented, and very charming, especially when he's directing... that energy is really cool!"

When I saw Xiao Reba talking about Pei Ran, her eyes turned into heart shapes.

Yang Mi couldn't help but click her tongue in her heart.

No wonder this guy has so many romantic scandals.

Maybe he himself doesn't even know that while he was directing a normal movie, he has captured the heart of another young girl.

"Stop daydreaming, silly girl."

Yang Mi pinched Reba's cheek with a playful smile.

"No, no! Don't talk nonsense, Sister Mi!!"

"Haha, that's enough. I won't tease you anymore. Just work hard on your filming. Maybe if this movie becomes a big hit, you'll be a rising star in the film industry."

"Hehe, I'm just a minor supporting role. If the movie becomes a hit, then you, Sister Mi, will become a rising star in the movie industry. Maybe by then the four actresses and two ice queens will become four actresses, two ice queens and one honey!" "You have such a sweet mouth, you are worthy of being my good daughter!"

Seeing Reba squatting beside her, Yang Mi couldn't calm down anymore and burst out with all her might, "Come on, dear daughter, call me mom."

Hearing this, Reba's face immediately fell, "Sister Mi! You are taking advantage of me!"

"How am I taking advantage of you?" Yang Mi's body trembled, her domineering side revealed, and she said seriously: "I'm asking you to shout in advance so that you can get into the role of daughter Pingping in the script as soon as possible, so that you can be like a fish in water during the filming!"

"what?"

"Don't you believe me? Do you think I would lie to you? I'm doing this for your own good."

"Ah, this..." Reba hesitated for a few seconds, then her face turned red. She lowered her head and whispered, "Mom...Mom."

"Hey! My dear daughter, don't worry, mom will definitely teach you well and train you to be a future movie star!"

Yang Mi was overjoyed.

At the same time, I feel pretty good.

No wonder Pei Ran forced me to call him dad a while ago.

It turns out that it’s not fake fun, it’s real fun!

……

The break is over, and Yang Mi is putting on makeup.

The scene has also been rearranged.

Pei Ran sat in front of the monitor and shouted "Ike Shen".

The difficulty of this scene is only higher than the previous one.

In the last show, Yang Mi only needed to strictly require her performance to satisfy Pei Ran, but in this show, not only did she have to pass Pei Ran's strict requirements, but she also had to train a newcomer who only had basic acting skills... So it's safe to say that the level of difficulty is only higher, not lower.

However, Pei Ran was not strict just for the sake of being strict. He had been working hard to explain to Reba the characteristics of the character "Daughter Pingping", including the basic courses such as liberating nature, emotional training, and facial expression control. He taught them all without reservation.

Of course, these specific course contents are all exchanged in the system mall, so the method is simple and the effect is quick, and Reba will not be ambiguous about Pei Ran’s teaching.

Everything produced by the system, except for the banned items that increase the value of Niu Niu’s weapons, is high-quality.

This is why Reba thinks Pei Ran is gentle, easy-going and very patient.

Now, it's finally time to start shooting.

Pei Ran called Reba over and touched her head with a smile, taking it as encouragement, "Don't be nervous, I believe you won't let me down."

“Uh-huh!!” Reba raised her little pink fist.

Then, the shooting officially began.

Reba just lacks experience in practical aspects, but her theoretical knowledge is quite full from her study at the Shanghai Theatre Academy and the crazy instillation of Pei Ran in her recently. It’s just that Pei Ran has too many things to do recently, otherwise he would have been instilling knowledge into her day and night, so her knowledge would be overflowing, right?

It’s definitely nerve-wracking when you first appear in front of the camera.

So for three consecutive times, she obviously failed to meet Pei Ran's strict requirements. After asking her if she needed a rest, Reba refused without hesitation, so Pei Ran ordered to continue filming.

Start from the fourth time.

I don’t know how many times I did it afterwards.

The reason for every NG is Reba.

Pei Ran didn't coax her all the time. After taking a break, he began to gradually put pressure on Reba, but forcing her like this had a good effect.

It was not until seven o'clock in the evening that Reba finally had a performance that barely met Pei Ran's standards.

Then Pei Ran shouted "Cut".

Reba thought she had passed the test, so she ran to Pei Ran excitedly, her face full of excitement, "Director Pei, Director Pei, did I pass the test just now?"

"No."

Even Reba with her sweet smile.

Pei Ran was not tempted by the beauty.

Our Director Pei is just like this, sitting still and not getting distracted~

Upon hearing this, Reba, who was grinning, suddenly froze in expression, "Then why did you suddenly stop filming..."

"Because it's time for dinner."

Without further ado, Pei Ran turned around to get his lunch box.

Pei Ran didn’t get any special treatment. The staff had a 20-yuan lunch box, the lead actor had a 50-yuan lunch box, and he also had a 50-yuan lunch box…

Yang Mi was so hungry that she didn't care whether the lunch box tasted good or not. She just sat down on the small stool in the director's room and started eating voraciously, while watching her performance today on the monitor.

But after learning that she had acted for quite some time but still didn't catch the eye of Director Pei Ran at all, she felt a little depressed and didn't even have the mood to eat her lunch.

Seeing this, Pei Ran walked over with a lunch box.

"What's the matter? Did you get jade syndrome during filming?"

"Ah? What is Yu Yu disease?" Reba took the lunch box handed to her by Pei Ran and asked in confusion.

“It’s just depression.”

"Not really... I'm just a little disappointed."

"Lost? Why?"

"The acting was not good. Sister Tomi and Director Pei are holding everyone back."

Pei Ran heard this, hesitated for a moment and felt that he had to comfort her, otherwise it would destroy her confidence, which would be bad. So he touched Reba's head again, "You have to understand that you are different from Yang Mi and the others. They have performed in front of the camera too many times, but this is the first time for you to be a bride getting into a sedan chair."

"If you were asked to join another director's crew, your performance would have been over the top, but it's just because..."

"Because Director Pei, your requirements are stricter..." Reba interrupted.

Pei Ran interrupted Reba before he finished, "No, because I think you can perform better. You haven't used all your energy yet."

The art of language is mastered by Iron Iron~
"In fact, there are several places you just performed that are worth mentioning, such as the subconscious action of looking at Yang Mi and calling her mom after knocking Sucha unconscious with a stick, and the physiological reaction of trembling due to fear and panic. Even experienced actors like Yang Mi can't act out these."

Hear your own name.

While eating her lunch box, Yang Mi, who was watching the surveillance camera, had already pricked up her ears to listen quietly.

Pei Ran continued, "What you lack is acting skills and your ease in front of the camera."

After hearing this, Xiao Reba regained her confidence.

"Really? I have so many advantages?"

"Yes." Pei Ran said as if he was coaxing his daughter.

"But..." Reba frowned, "Director Pei, how can I learn skills and composure..."

"Hmm..." Pei Ran thought for a moment, "How about this, after the filming is over tonight, you come to my room and I'll give you some special lessons. In a few days, all of my knowledge will be infused into your body..."

Why do these ones sound more and more wrong the more I listen to them?
