Reborn as a little director

Jing Ran just became his idol's assistant.

As for Jing Ran, he always shared with Xie Siqing all kinds of things about his work.

such as--

"Yao Shunyu, I'm on a business trip and I have nothing to do, so I'll give you a call."

"Hmm." Xie Siqing asked casually, "With Lian Xi?"

It is most normal for an artist to run outside.

"No." Jing Ran said again, "Lian Xi won't come here until next week."

"...Are you going on a business trip by yourself?" Assistants are usually by the artist's side.

"Oh," Jing Ran said again, "Lian Xi is a person who has high demands on the quality of life."

"...???"

"Haha. Every time before he goes on a business trip, he will ask me to come to the hotel to test whether the bed is comfortable or not. He will never stay if it is too hard or too soft."

"..."

"And whether the bathroom is clean, whether the temperature of the hot water is just right, and so on."

"..." Xie Siqing finally understood why Lian Xi didn't have any assistant who could persist for more than three months.Such a picky person can imagine what he usually does.

Xie Siqing suspected that Lian Xi also came from Zhong Yang's planet, collecting the anger of the people on Earth.But he and Zhong Yang are not the same way to make people angry, Zhong Yang is mentally ill, and Lian Xi is a troublemaker.

"How is it?" Jing Ran continued to say, "Isn't he amazing?"

"..."

Xie Siqing gave a "hmm", thinking that Jingran's behavior is quite good.

Sometimes, Jing Ran would ask Xie Siqing for his opinion because he was the only person he knew in the "entertainment circle" besides Lian Xi.

For example, in the second week after Jing Ran became Lian Xi's assistant, Lian Xi went to participate in a program in the city where Jing Ran was on a business trip before.

Lian Xi asked Jing Ran to write a specific itinerary.

Jing Ran fought hard all night, and finally wrote extremely detailed.

Unexpectedly, Lian Xi scolded him after reading it, and said that Jing Ran's wages were not calculated by word count.

Jing Ran felt aggrieved and sent it to Xie Siqing for him to take a look.

Xie Siqing opened the document: "..."

He looked at the page count: page count: 1/15.

"..."

15 pages...

Xie Siqing casually clicked on a page.

Exactly the page from the beginning of the recorded program.

It says:

[The show starts at 18:00:00.

主持人开场白（18：00：00-18：01：00）：“欢迎来到我们每周六晚八点播出的《绝对娱乐》，很高兴又和大家见面了（此处会有掌声）！今天我们又是邀请到了一位男神。他过去的唱片都是很现代的感觉，这次却有一些中国风的元素。这位男神是谁呢？就是连曦。有请连曦（此处又有掌声）”。说明：每分钟120个字。

Go on stage (18:01:00-18:01:10).Explanation: The total distance is 20 meters, two steps per second, one step and a half meters, exactly 20 steps to reach the center of the stage, and a total of 10 seconds to walk on the stage. PS: It is recommended to step on the left leg first, and finally put away the right leg, so that the turning movement will be more chic. ] "..."

"What's wrong?"

Xie Siqing said: "You don't need to be accurate to the second..."

"I..." Jing Ran said, "I'm afraid that the time will run out, and there will be some things I won't have time to say...or it will end early, and the atmosphere at the scene will be awkward."

"No." Xie Siqing told him, "The host will control the time. For example, they will prepare more speeches in advance. If the time is not up, they will keep talking, and any paragraph can be used as the end."

"Oh..." Jing Ran was a little frustrated.

Xie Siqing continued to look down.

【主持人继续说话（18：01：10-18：01：20）：“这是连曦第一次上我们的节目，台下很多歌迷都很开心对不对？！”

台下观众回应（18：01：20-18：01：25）：“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”“对！”】“……”谢思清问，“这个又是什么？怎么这么多‘对’？”

"This is the audience's words," Jing Ran replied, "There will be many audiences answering, and the momentum will be huge. I will list thirty people here first."

"..." Xie Siqing became dizzy the more he looked back.

Turning forward is also very dizzy.

The itinerary and timetable are all written in this way, from the day I got off the plane to the time I lay down on the hotel bed at night, everything is accurate to the second.

Jing Ran said: "This... This is to ensure that there is no problem, Lian Xi will have enough time to sleep and eat... I see many artists, the schedule is not good, and they cannot guarantee to sleep and eat, so the body will be damaged. "

"Did you tell him?"

"told……"

"How did he say?"

Jing Ran was very discouraged: "He said that I am a big deal mother, and asked me to reform all over again."

"..."

"...?"

Xie Siqing sighed: "It's the job of Lian Xi and his manager to say what to say and do."

"I know." Jing Ran replied.Originally, these contents were obtained from them, but in order to formulate the itinerary and timetable, he calculated the time required for each sentence and each matter.

"Just write down a few things, and how much time each will take up."

"Oh……"

"Let me change it for me." Xie Siqing said.

"Okay, okay, thank you."

Xie Siqing began to delete aggressively.

Then he sent back a one-page document to Jing Ran.

"This, can this work?" Jing Ran asked, "Is it too simple?"

"...I'm not sure." Xie Siqing said, "Let Lian Xi take a look."

Xie Siqing is really not sure.

For ordinary people, this is definitely no problem, but Lian Xi... Xie Siqing is not confident.

After 10 minutes, Jing Ran came back again and said, "He said, this can be..."

"..." Seeing that the other party was a little frustrated, Xie Siqing comforted, "You should also take your share, in case it will be useful."

"Oh……"

"Be happy," Xie Siqing said again, "This is the first time you two have worked outside together."

"That's right." Jing Ran was really easy to be happy, "Then I'll call you when I get back."

"Okay." Xie Siqing said, "Smooth journey."

The next day, Jing Ran went out with Lian Xi.

On Xie Siqing's side, the filming of the commercial also officially started.

There have been production preparatory meetings on TVC and steamed buns before.At that PPM, the shot script, casting, costumes, styling, shooting scenes, layout, tone, soundtrack tone, etc. have all been finalized.Xiao Long Bao trusted the director a lot and gave him enough freedom.

Now the preparations before the shooting have been completed, the car provided by the client will be in place soon, and there are no problems with the environmental furnishings and re-scenes.

The next thing is the official shooting.

The shooting time of commercials is not long, generally only one or two days, at most two or three days, but this time is slightly different, the length is much longer than the normal 45-second commercials, and the production quality requirements will also be very high. Much higher, Xie Siqing estimated that it would take a week.

Moreover, it is when the team is more reliable.

Xie Siqing didn't know why, there were especially many unreliable people in this circle.If you don’t choose people you trust, and if you randomly form a team, then only 30% of the people will help, 40% will not help, and the other 30% will not help.Therefore, directors often have fixed partners.

Then, early in the morning, something went wrong.

—The photographer did not arrive.

Waited for a long time, still nothing.

Xie Siqing looked at Zhong Yang, who remained motionless.

It seems that it is my job as a "quasi assistant director".

So, Xie Siqing called the photographer.

The latter said that he had already reached the gate.

Xie Siqing knew this photographer.

Zhong Yang must also know him, that's why he called him here.

His name is Mike, and he's quite famous.He is a foreigner, who used to be in Hollywood, but later came here for some reason, and his level is quite good.

After several years of studying hard, and enrolling in various classes, I can speak Chinese quite fluently, but when it comes to quantifiers, I get confused.There is no tradition in English that something must be added between numerals and nouns. Most of the time, it is enough to put an article directly in front of the noun.Moreover, in Mike's view, the use of various quantifiers is really difficult for him to understand.

In Xie Siqing's impression, Mike is a punctual person.

So Xie Siqing didn't say much, just asked: "Why did you come?"

I didn't expect to mention this, but Mike got angry first.

"I've met robbers!" he said, "trying to steal my money!"

"...Oh?" Xie Siqing asked, "Did you get it? Are you all right?"

"Neither." Mike said, "Fortunately, I met a group of good guys, and I yelled at the robbers and drove them away."

"What is a group of heroes?" Xie Siqing asked, "Does it mean that there is a group of people?"

"No, there's only one," Mike replied.

"That should be a good man."

"No." Mike said seriously, "I met this guy this morning. He is very fat. You can't use 'bar' to describe him. You should use 'group'. 'Group' is used to describe round things, and ' Article', it should mean a tall and thin person, the hero in my textbook is very tall and thin."

"No." Xie Siqing corrected, "It doesn't matter whether a hero is fat or thin, it's always called 'a hero'."

"How come?" Mike looked confused, "Do fat people also use 'bar'?"

"Fat people also use 'bar'."

"why?"

"Yes." Xie Siqing didn't know, "Why?"

"Okay, okay." Zhong Yang came over suddenly and said to Mike, "You think, a hero saved you, and you still insinuated him as fat, isn't it too much? So no matter how fat or thin, everyone said 'Tiao', complimenting him on his thinness, this is a way to make people happy, a way of gratitude."

"So that's what happened." Mike nodded, suddenly realizing.

"..." Xie Siqing was a little speechless over there.

Zhong Yang is talking nonsense again.

"Hurry up and start." Zhong Yang said again, "It's been a lot of time."

"Yeah. Good." Mike said one last time, "A good man, a good man."

Xie Siqing felt that he would never be able to learn the quantifiers well.

Five years ago, he was struggling with this.

They were filming a film at the time, and after the lunch break, Mike suddenly told Xie Siqing in a panic that a rabbit appeared at the door.

Xie Siqing asked what a piece of rabbit was, and finally realized that it meant a rabbit that was crushed by a car.

Another time, Mike asked Xie Siqing, what is the difference between a wad of money, a stack of money, a bundle of money, etc., and what does a sum of money mean, why use a "pen", money What does it have to do with the pen.

Unfortunately, Mike worked so hard and humbly asked for advice, but the answer he got was often "we use it anyway".
