Reborn as a little director

"Then..." Wu Yisen asked, "Who is the art director?"

"Probably not." Xie Siqing said honestly, "Small-cost production requires cost savings, so the art director and the main artist are likely to be the same person."

"I..." Wu Yisen widened his eyes, "I'm an art director?"

"Yeah." Xie Siqing nodded, "But you need to draw, because there may be only one sub-art artist, mainly designing props."

In the crew, prop art sometimes belongs to the art group, sometimes belongs to the prop group, but usually it is in the art group.

Then, Xie Siqing briefly described the situation of the play.

Wu Yisen obviously didn't expect such a luxurious lineup in this small-budget drama.

"I don't really believe it..." Wu Yisen shook his head, "You're lying."

"..." Xie Siqing looked around, just in time to see Zhong Yang coming out from the art director in the back room, so he called him.

Zhong Yang came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Siqing said: "Let me confirm again, are you going to star in the male lead for my play?"

"How many times do you have to ask?" Zhong Yang was not polite, "If I promise you, you won't go back on your word. How can you trust me?"

Xie Siqing ignored Zhong Yang's words. He turned around and said to Wu Yisen, "Did you hear me? I'm not lying, you can join the group."

Zhong Yang: "..."

Wu Yisen was a little dumbfounded with joy: "Well, for a drama of this level, I'll be the art director?"

"The art of this drama is a bit difficult." Xie Siqing continued, "Because it spans several eras, the late Qing Dynasty, the Anti-Japanese War, post-liberation, and modern times, but I believe you can do well."

In movies, the art of modern dramas is relatively easy, while ancient dramas are very challenging.

"I..." Wu Yisen looked at Xie Siqing and said, "I want to try."

"Okay." Xie Siqing nodded, "Then I will talk to investors tonight."

In general, Pineapple Cake gave Xie Siqing a lot of authority, which made Xie Siqing very grateful.

Zhong Yang saw that there was nothing wrong with him at all, so he said simply: "Don't forget, the opening ceremony is on Monday, and the official opening is on Thursday."

"Well," Xie Siqing nodded, "I remember, I will be there."

……

Then, on Monday, Xie Siqing went to the opening ceremony.

When Chinese directors start filming, they have to pay tribute to heaven.

The master of ceremonies of their gang was the loudest actor-deputy director.

Before the ceremony, the producer of life had already placed wine, fruit, pig's head, whole duck, whole chicken, etc. on the altar. There was lit yellow paper in the iron pot, and the incense was also lit.

All the people pushed and shoved and stood up.

Seeing that the preparations were complete, the actor's assistant director stood there and shouted: "Then, the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven begins now—"

Then, he said to Zhong Yang: "Director Zhong Yang, can you tell me a few words?"

Zhong Yang looked at the producer expressionlessly.

The producer sighed, knowing that Zhong Yang was too lazy to speak, and asked himself to speak instead, so he stepped forward and cleared his throat: "Today is the day we start the film, so this ceremony is held, and God bless the filming to go smoothly, The crew is safe."

"Okay!" After he finished speaking, the actor's assistant director began to shout again: "Then let's start praying! First bow to the sky, for good weather; second, to the earth, for good harvests; third - what is it? Well, anyway , Good luck starting up!"

So everyone prayed to the sky, and then offered incense one by one. Many people kept mumbling about something while offering incense, not knowing whether it was for the movie or for themselves.

After the sacrifice ceremony, the crew held a press conference.

Although Zhong Yang also brought Xie Siqing with him, Xie Siqing just sat there thinking wildly.

He's just waiting to officially start filming on Thursday.

—— On Thursday, Xie Siqing met Shao Yu again.

When Shao Yu appeared, he had already put on costumes and put on makeup.

It really looks like the main character is unwilling at the beginning.

The stylist in Zhong Yang's crew is also quite famous.

Although, his reputation is not very good. He is called "Fart Man" because he talks like fart.

For example, he had always said in a positive tone what the shape would look like, but when the drawings came out, it was absolutely different from what he said before.

Seeing Shao Yu waiting, Zhong Yang asked, "Are you ready?"

Shao Yu nodded.

Everything is ready to start shooting.

The protagonist played by Shao Yu is unsatisfactory everywhere, hoping that he can suddenly get good luck all the time.

Every time he sees a koi on Weibo, he will turn to it, and at the same time, he will beg for this and that.

Shao Yu vividly expresses the psychology of this kind of character who is mediocre but expects to become extraordinary.

Then, one day, at the dining table, the protagonist once again planned to repost this koi, which is said to be "good luck if you turn it around".

At this time, the water glass in his hand suddenly fell, and all the water in it spilled on his tablet computer.

He hurriedly looked for something to wipe, and when he came back with a cloth, he suddenly found a fish flopping about in the puddle of water on the screen of the tablet computer.

"...you," the protagonist asks, "...what the hell are you?"

Shao Yu's inexplicable horror is also in place, he is indeed the material for God's reward.

The fish looked at him, and suddenly spoke, it was a rough boy: "You dare to scold the koi? You are going to be in bad luck!"

"...You said, you are a koi?" the protagonist asked.

At the same time the protagonist starts to look around to see if someone is coming in to play a prank.

"Yes." Koi replied, "Recently, I was suddenly turned around by someone, which made my head dizzy."

"...Then, can you help people realize their wishes?" The protagonist became nervous, because his fate seemed to be changing at this moment.He felt that his breathing was about to stagnate, and all the sounds around him seemed to disappear suddenly. He could only hear his heart beating violently, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

"Yes." The fish said again, "I am a koi, make a wish to me, and I will help you realize it. But you need to remember that the universe is always conserved and will not be created out of thin air. If you get these, there will be people Lost, because you made a wish to lose."

"..." The protagonist seemed to be having a hard time making a choice, he couldn't do anything to blame others, "How could this be..."

Here Shao Yu would talk to himself, because the koi had to wait for the post-production synthesis, but Shao Yu didn't feel unnatural at all, he just swayed from side to side.

Suddenly, the protagonist smiled again: "Then I made a wish to pick up 100 yuan every day, so it shouldn't be a problem. Losing 100 yuan won't affect people very much, but I have accumulated 3 yuan a year. "

"Yes." Koi said, "Is this your wish?"

"Ah."

Then the koi seemed to realize something suddenly: "Find me a water tank quickly, and the water will come out when I feel it, but there is only such a puddle in the end."

"Okay, okay." The protagonist said while glancing at the screen of the tablet.

There were some changes in the weibo post that he was going to retweet just now to retweet the koi making a wish.

The koi in the picture is gone.

Instead, there was a blank picture with six big characters written crookedly on it: There should be koi here.

"Cut." Zhong Yang said something over there.

Shao Yu performed very well, and passed another one.

Several cameras stopped recording.

Although Zhong Yang doesn't like to use too many cameras, it is still very important to shoot with several cameras at the same time.

For example, in this character dialogue, there will be close-ups of the face, sideways half-body, 45-degree shooting, etc.

He wants to leave enough room for editing.

The director shoots the film, provides the material to tell the story, and the editor completes the narrative through editing.

Some directors like to use long shots and shoot continuously to try to keep the integrity of the story as much as possible, but comedies like this use montage more, through cutting and reorganizing paragraphs, choosing materials to highlight important content.
