This actor has something

Chapter 224 Moon
He Daqi looked at him strangely. He didn't expect that he, who looked ordinary, actually had such an experience.

"Brother Jimmy, can you make a living just by relying on your looks?"

"Don't mention it. I didn't know better when I was young."

He Daqi exclaimed in amazement: "Brother Jimmy, you're amazing! Doesn't this thing say you have to become a small manager to learn it? You really can make it in any field."

Gu Tianle smiled and explained to He Daqi, "You don't understand this, right? They say you can only recite after becoming a junior manager. Actually, when I was young, there were many small societies like that. You just need to pay a little more money to worship a senior, and you can recite as soon as you enter."

Damn it! Loyalty was deceived by gold!

He Daqi gossiped a little: "Brother Jimmy, how much did you give?"

"A few hundred bucks, I can't quite remember because it's been so long. I just remember I washed dishes in a restaurant for half a month."

He Daqi was speechless. Isn't loyalty too worthless?

In fact, today's opening scene has nothing to do with the main creators, but it cannot be said to be completely unrelated. At least Uncle Deng still has to appear.

But today is the first day, and everyone is here. Even if they don’t have their own scenes, they still want to watch. One reason is to see what effect the director wants, and the other is to see how fast the progress is. At least they have an idea.

The progress is quite encouraging. There was basically no cut during the indoor scenes. It was not a big problem for a group of veteran actors to handle these shots.

The only thing that wasted time was probably Du Qifeng's request.

He moved the seats of these elderly people around, and the camera was constantly looking for angles. It only took one minute to shoot, but it took at least an hour to arrange the positions and adjust the camera angles.

He Daqi had never worked with a director with such requirements before, and he couldn't go over to see why Du Qifeng was dissatisfied with the camera. He could only ask an actor who had just filmed Du Qifeng's movie.

"Brother Le, why is the director going through all this trouble?"

Ren Dahua explained in a low voice, "The director likes to interweave light and dark shots, and he also likes to cleverly position the actors. For example, in the shot just now, the camera had a close-up burst, and the distant shot was of other people. By simply adjusting the close-up and distant shots, the same effect can be achieved without switching frames. This ensures that the audience will not be distracted by the switching frames and will remain immersed in the plot."

Not only He Daqi was listening, but Liu Ying was also listening.

As soon as Ren Dahua finished speaking, Liu Ying translated it verbatim to Ning Hao.

Ning Hao suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! Hey! I need a good camera!"

"We at Yonghui Qiming have this kind of high-end camera. You can practice with it while filming Balabala the Fairies. You have plenty of time to tinker with it in the second half of the year anyway. Learn more and when you become proficient in it, maybe you can be the next Du Qifeng." Liu Ying said with a smile.

She always thought Ning Hao was very talented. He was able to put together a crew to shoot the first part of Balabala the Fairies before he even graduated, and the finished product was pretty good. He could be considered a talent.

Unfortunately, she mentioned it to Zhou Huimin twice, but Zhou Huimin refused to sign Ning Hao and did not explain the reason. So Liu Ying often gave Ning Hao some small favors, just hoping that when Ning Hao really made it in the future, she could still talk to Zhou Huimin about it.

You see, I recommended him because I thought he was talented, but you didn't sign. Now it's too late, right?
I certainly can't say it so bluntly at that time, but this is what I mean.

Ning Hao nodded excitedly after hearing Liu Ying's words. He was about to say something about working hard, but the words were on the tip of his tongue when he saw Liu Ying pull out her phone, check the incoming call notification, and then frowned and answered. "What's up?" Liu Ying's tone was indifferent, giving off a distant vibe.

Wang Rui knew that Liu Ying disliked him, but he was too lazy to argue with her. He chuckled and said gently, "I'm looking for Da Qi. His phone must be on silent mode. No one answered my call."

"Wait a moment." Liu Ying said and hung up the phone.

He turned around and walked behind He Daqi, gently patted He Daqi who was chatting and laughing with Liang Jiahui, and waited for him to turn around with a smile, and said dryly: "Wang Rui asked you to call him back."

"Okay, Sister Liu, I understand." He Daqi nodded.

He greeted a few other actors, then took out his cell phone and walked outside.

"Brother Rui, what's wrong? I just saw you called me twice."

Wang Rui didn't bother with any idle chatter and went straight to the point, asking, "Daqi, do you know FM365?"

"Yeah, I used to watch the news there often, the year before last and last year, but I haven't watched it much this year. It seems they've gone bankrupt."

"Yes, it failed. At the beginning, when they were at their peak, they hired the then-famous Xie Tingfeng and Zhou Xun as their spokespersons. They were very rich and powerful, but unfortunately, their leader was average-minded and played a good hand badly. I contacted their technical team at the time. They were not very happy in Liuxiang and wanted to change jobs collectively. I arranged for their leader to meet in Hong Kong this weekend. You can come and meet me then."

After Wang Rui finished speaking, He Daqi felt a little nauseous. This speed was too outrageous! Wasn't he planning to poach someone else's team?
"Brother Rui, you're a little too fast..."

"Time is money!"

He Daqi suddenly felt like a dead fish, so he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Sister Zhou too. We won't go back to the mainland to see the kids this weekend."

"Well, you go ahead and do your work." Wang Rui smiled and hung up the phone.

He Daqi put his phone in his pocket and returned to the set just as Du Qifeng shouted "cut". Now they were shooting from the beginning again, and it happened to be the shot he had missed when he left just now.

"Everyone says they're working for the community, but are they really working for themselves? Getting to Tsim Sha Tsui? Only if you can get it counts! I even said I wanted to reach the moon."

Wow! He Daqi laughed out loud and muttered to Gu Tianle: "Brother Jimmy, I feel that Uncle is much more courageous than Brother Le. Why don't we choose Uncle Bao?"

Ren Dahua was right next to him and heard what He Daqi said. Before Gu Tianle could speak, he smiled and said to He Daqi, "Be careful. I'll ask you to go fishing in a few days."

"Forget it, let Brother D go." He Daqi quickly pointed at Liang Jiahui next to him.

Now other actors in Hong Kong have no work and have gone to the mainland to make money, but some of the crew here can shoot two movies at the same time. The thing is to be compared. The money is high, the work is less, and it is close to home, so these people are in a good mood and are willing to joke around.

The first day of filming ended uneventfully. Although He Daqi did not go to work, he could understand Du Qifeng's filming style by watching from the side.

This man has a special obsession with the sense of picture. No matter the actors' positions, attire, expressions, or tones, he has to compare and simulate them repeatedly. He will only start filming when he feels it is almost right. Therefore, the preparation time before filming in his crew is exceptionally long.
