The man of scumbag Gulnazar

Chapter 32 Film Shooting

The film's curtain slowly rises, and the shooting schedule is initially set. There's no intention to tackle complex scenes right away. The crew plans to start with the easier parts, beginning with the heartwarming scenes at the beginning and end, especially the wedding held at the hotel, which Qin Tian also intends to learn from.

However, once filming began, the feeling in front of the camera was as if shrouded in mist; no matter how they filmed, they couldn't find the right feeling. Qin Tian pondered to himself, feeling that compared to the version from his previous life, it lacked something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

The entire shooting style seemed to have deviated from the expected trajectory, and Qin Tian and director Yan Feipeng discussed it and decided to suspend filming. No one expected that they would encounter such setbacks so soon after filming began, which was indeed quite frustrating.

Yan Feipeng was directing a film for the first time, and his experience was still limited. Lighting, cinematography, production management, and other aspects all needed time to gel. The first day passed in a flurry of activity, and not a single scene was filmed.

The next day, everyone started the meeting as soon as they opened their eyes, hoping things would go more smoothly. However, they ran into trouble right from the first scene. Yan Fei suggested that they keep filming and then find the problems gradually, but Qin Tian firmly opposed it.

"No, if it's wrong from the start, then all the work done afterward will be wasted. And we can't drag it out for too long, otherwise everyone's morale will be affected," Qin Tian said decisively.

Around noon, Qin Tian found Meng Ziyi and wanted to hear her opinion.

"Ziyi, where do you think the filming went wrong?" Qin Tian asked.

Meng Ziyi thought for a moment and replied, "I just feel that everyone's acting is a little strange."

"Yes! Strange! It's strange! What's strange about it? Let me think..." Qin Tian muttered to himself, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "I know! Everyone's imitating the acting style in the movie, but it's not quite the same!"

"You're amazing, Ziyi!" Qin Tian said excitedly.

Afterwards, Qin Tian gathered the two directors and the main actors and told them about his discovery.

"I know everyone is working very hard to make this film well. But now there's a problem. After my observation and Ziyi's reminder, I've discovered that everyone is imitating the acting style in movies," Qin Tian said.

At this point, Kidney Pain interjected, "Is there anything wrong with imitation?"

“Imitation itself is not wrong, but we are all stage actors, used to performing in plays, and our cooperation is tacit. But filming is different from performing in plays. Everyone’s understanding of filmmaking is different, so the visuals look strange,” Qin Tian explained.

"Then what should we do?" someone asked.

"It's very simple. Just act like you would on the stage, keep the frequency at the same level, and just control your voice a little, don't shout. Everyone can give it a try," Qin Tian said jokingly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Upon hearing this, the two directors felt that Qin Tian's words made a lot of sense. They were also blinded by their own involvement and hadn't seen the problem.

Filming resumed, and this time it went much more smoothly. But as filming progressed, a second problem surfaced—kidney pain made it hard to remember lines. Qin Tian had warned him beforehand, but the situation was more serious than anticipated.

Finally, with no other option, Qin Tian had the production assistant prepare Shen Teng's lines for the next day in advance so he could read them. Even so, changes to the lines were still frequent. Qin Tian really wondered how Shen Teng had handled the lines when he was rehearsing plays before.

However, as filming progressed smoothly, Chairman Han visited the set again. Watching Qin Tian directing the scene in an orderly manner, Chairman Han thought it was actually quite impressive.

Although this production crew is not large, it is a small but complete whole. Seeing that they can arrange everything so well is quite impressive for a crew mainly composed of newcomers.

Chairman Han was quite satisfied with the film crew overall. He was able to come this time because his work schedule was relatively relaxed. You see, Chairman Han used to always look down on low-budget films.

But this time, he discovered that Qin Tian was truly a hidden gem, not just a pretty face with no substance. Perhaps he would be the last talent Han Dong discovered during his tenure!

There was another interesting scene on set. In the original script, a character was in so much pain from his kidneys that he shouted, "I'm going to be famous! Pu Shu and Xu Wei aren't famous yet!" But now it's been changed to, "Pu Shu and Qin Tian aren't famous yet, but I'm going to be famous!" After all, Qin Tian wrote the script, so he had to indulge in a bit of self-admiration.

Soon, the crew filmed the parts featuring "The Voice of China," and invited Kun Ge, Ha Lin Ge, and Na Jie to help out. Huan Ge, due to his busy work schedule and his serious personality, felt that this kind of parody movie wasn't suitable for him, so he didn't come.

Qin Tian was participating in a program when he was suddenly caught by a big shot: "Qin Tian! Who told you to change my lyrics? 'You're still the same boy you used to be, without a single change'? If you haven't changed, are you even human? Don't you use your brain to think about it!" After saying that, the big shot rushed up to beat Qin Tian.

Later, in his own interview, Qin Tian said with a wronged expression, "I really like Teacher Xia Luo's songs. I've always felt like I'm living in his shadow, and I always have a sense of déjà vu. I don't understand why he hit me."

Qin Tian's acting talent is undeniable. The two directors murmured to themselves, "We need to encourage Qin Tian to act more in the future. This kid is so talented; it would be a waste if he didn't act. With his good looks, why would he choose literature over acting?"

These complaints aren't limited to just the two directors. Wang Jingsong, the vice dean of the acting department at the Beijing Film Academy—such a handsome young man, and he went on to become a screenwriter! And Tian Zhuangzhuang from the directing department, whose storyboarding skills are so good, also went to be a screenwriter. It's truly baffling!

As filming progressed, everyone on set noticed a piece of gossip—Qin Tian's classmate, Meng Ziyi, seemed to have a crush on him. She made no attempt to hide it, spending every spare moment after filming around Qin Tian's side.

It's obvious, even a fool could see that. But still, they're a handsome man and a beautiful woman, so everyone is supportive.

Qin Tian also noticed everyone's attention to this matter, but he didn't explain. Firstly, he felt he had a clear conscience; secondly, he wasn't very familiar with everyone except for a few key members of the production team.

Soon, his cameo appearances were over. That evening, Qin Tian hosted a dinner to thank the three teachers. Harlin kept joking, suggesting that Qin Tian bring Meng Ziyi along.

Harlin is such a shrewd person; she knew what was going on as soon as she heard the gossip. She saw that Meng Ziyi was still a young girl who hadn't graduated and hadn't been corrupted by the entertainment industry, so she came up with the idea of ​​making connections.

Adhering to the principle of having a clear conscience, Qin Tian took Meng Ziyi with him. This seemed to confirm some kind of rumor.

During the meal, Meng Ziyi, this girl from Northeast China, behaved very generously, thanking the teachers for taking care of Qin Tian, ​​and specifically thanking Brother Halin. As for why she thanked Brother Halin, she didn't say anything, but everyone understood. They exchanged knowing smiles.

Qin Tian was annoyed at the sight of this: "What are you thanking me for! What does this have to do with you? Can't I thank you myself? I really regret bringing you here. Now look what's happened, I'm like mud in my pants, even if it's not shit, it's still shit."

Sigh! Although he was annoyed, Qin Tian didn't show it on his face. After all, this was to thank the three teachers for their help; what would it look like to give them a cold shoulder? Dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Finally, Qin Tian took Meng Ziyi back to the film set.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm really grateful to them for taking care of you. I think your problems are my problems," Meng Ziyi said, her voice filled with grievance.

"Oh dear! What a mess!" What could Qin Tian say? One wrong step led to another. But Meng Ziyi's words did have a hint of manipulative scheming, so he decided to leave it at that.

"It's okay, just try not to give people the wrong idea. It doesn't matter to me, a guy, but it's not good for you, a girl, to get around to it," Qin Tian said tactfully.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of misunderstandings. I'm mainly worried about affecting you. Qin Tian, ​​since you don't care, I care even less. They didn't misunderstand; I just like you," Meng Ziyi said.

Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore, this topic is going nowhere. Qin Tian thought to himself: I was just being a smart aleck, I insisted on bringing her along.
