Reborn as a little director

Zhang Yiran also joined, it's really great——

Xie Siqing remembered that Gao Liang said that his introduction was unreliable.

Because after his cousin took the initiative to contact Zhang Yi, the two had just chatted for a few words, and Zhang Yiran sent a message "I will disappear for a few days", and then disappeared completely.

Before Zhang Yiran got the call from the other party, it was already too much for him to never act. However, the girl endured it, and this time she pretended to be dead and disappeared.

"If he hates my sister, he doesn't need to use this method!" Gao Liang said angrily at the time.

"That...that text message is not an excuse." Xie Siqing tried to explain to Gao Liang at that time, "He really disappeared."

"……what?"

"When he has work, he will turn off his mobile phone. I also have something to look for him now but I can't find it."

"...Pervert." Gao Liang said the same thing again, "I told my sister to ignore him."

"……it is good."

"We're going to be together. If an emergency happens in the future but no one can be found at all, why don't you be mad!"

"Hmm..." Xie Siqing said, "Ask him to prepare an emergency mobile phone for your cousin?"

"You don't want to help him with this pervert, okay?"

"……Oh."

Xie Siqing felt like an old woman who had to worry about everything.

The third person to be contacted was Mike.

"Mike," Xie Siqing said, "come out for dinner, let me treat you."

"……Okay!"

He bypassed Chen Zhengzhi and directly found someone to join the crew...Xie Siqing thought, but Chen Zhengzhi really should take a good rest, and he also believed that Chen Zhengzhi would not veto the director's opinion on the choice of the position of photographer.

Xie Siqing treated Mike to a bone pot.

The store is not too big, there is a box.

Mike ordered a bunch of stuff.Xie Siqing wanted to add two or three more things, but Mike changed his face when he saw the "duck blood" that Xie Siqing hooked, and begged Xie Siqing not to treat him like this, so Xie Siqing had to give up.

The store is very affordable, and the pots that come up are full of bones.

Originally, Xie Siqing thought that there were at most two or three bones in this bone pot, but now he realized that the pot was really full, so full that there was no room for other things.

Xie Siqing glanced at Zhong Yang indifferently: "Zhong Yang."

"Yeah." Zhong Yang agreed, took out a bone, lowered his head and started to eat it.

After eating one, grab another.

"Okay." Xie Siqing said to Mike, "You can download things this time."

Mike: "..."

Xie Siqing greeted Mike again: "Let's order what we like to eat."

Mike: "..."

After cooking a few slices of meat, Mike asked Xie Siqing, "What do you want me to do?"

Xie Siqing smiled: "You can see it."

"I can feel it." Although it is reasonable for ordinary friends to reminisce about the old days, Mike can feel that this time Yao, Shunyu and Yu have something to discuss with him.

"Well." Xie Siqing looked at Mike and said, "I have a new film here, and I want to ask you to do the photography."

"Oh?"

"This time we have money." Xie Siqing said, "We will pay you your normal weekly salary."

Zhong Yang next to him looked at the way Xie Siqing said "this time we have money", and thought it was very cute again.

"What kind of film is it?" Mike asked.

"Science fiction," Xie Siqing said, "Zhong Yang will help me in terms of expression, but I will still mainly direct it."

This means that Zhong Yang has the right to make suggestions, but not the right to make decisions, because this is a movie directed by Xie Siqing, and he still has to follow his own mind to form a completely identical personal style.

Then, Xie Siqing talked about the plot of the film, the funding situation, the currently confirmed personnel team, the promotion method that Chen Zhengzhi intends to promote, and so on.

"It sounds very good..." Mike was very tempted, "The last time I joined was to repay your favor, but later I found that the atmosphere of the crew was very comfortable. Now that I say it like this, I miss it a bit, and I will reunite with you all again. It's a beautiful thing. It would be a disappointment if I was the only one missing - I wanted to make a movie together again, but I turned you down and asked you to find someone else."

"Hmm." Xie Siqing said, "I think so."

"But," Mike said again, "I'm afraid there is really no way."

"...Really." Xie Siqing didn't ask why.He felt that Mike could choose not to join for whatever reason.

In the end, Zhong Yang asked, "Why?"

"Oh." Mike was also very blunt, "You didn't say it before, so I verbally agreed to the other two directors. I will be in another crew when you are scheduled to start the filming, and I will be the director for the next six months. Two...movies served as cinematography.”

"It's just a verbal agreement, and the contract hasn't been signed yet." Zhong Yang said to Mike, "Just say that your seventh aunt in the United States is sick, and you need to go back to take care of it—you don't have seventh aunt, right? That's not a curse on her." .”

Xie Siqing: "..."

"How can that be?" Mike said seriously, "That's a lie."

Zhong Yang: "..."

Xie Siqing knew that Mike was a very devout Christian.He is very strict with himself in terms of morality, even paranoid. For example, he must never lie, and he must do what he promises to others.It was the same time when he was blackmailed for money. He felt that he shouldn't give it, so he really insisted on not giving it. Mike is definitely different from Zhong Yang in this regard.

Zhong Yang also knew Mike well.

Hearing what Mike said, Zhong Yang sighed: "Then there is no way, there is no way to wait with so many people in the crew."

"That..." Mike struggled, "I'll go and explain to the first... director. To be honest, see if he understands me. If the director finds it inconvenient, I can't go to your place, so I have to go again Next time... Next time, you should try to greet me in advance, my schedule is always full, and I will always make appointments until next year."

"...Well." Xie Siqing suggested, "You can try to recommend someone to him."

"I see," Mike said again, "but don't expect too much—"

"……Um."

After the bone pot was finished, Mike went to ask immediately.

Thankfully, the director actually said yes.

In the original words of the director, it is: "You are not happy with me, you always want to go to other places, and I have no sense in forcing you to stay. Let's play movies together, of course we must be happy."

Then Mike owed another favor and promised to compensate the director in the future.

He felt as if he was always in debt to others, today this and tomorrow that, it was like a chain reaction, the first source was the time when Yao, Shunyu saved him.

After Mike also decided to join, Xie Siqing went to ask Wu Yisen again.

Wu Yisen is completely fine.

But Xie Siqing hired another art director, and only Wu Yisen was appointed as the main art director.

Because science fiction is not what Wu Yisen is good at, Xie Siqing directly invited the art director who used to work with Zhong Yang.

Little Putao didn't need to ask at all.

He kept yelling "I want to follow Yao Dao all my life".

Among all the people, the only one who refused was Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing expressed her apology very clearly.

Xie Siqing finally understood after thinking about it.

"Ke Chuan Gong Ye" is Zhao Qing's first play.

When she was acting in the opposite role, she seemed to develop some vague affection for Zhong Yang, which Zhong Yang himself could feel.

However, Zhong Yang was guided by Yao.

Therefore, she wanted to make this feeling disappear as soon as possible.Playing against Zhong Yang again will only make her feel uncomfortable, and it would be good to see her for a while.

The heroine has to be re-selected.

After careful consideration, Xie Siqing invited Gu Fei to audition.

Gu Fei, it is said that she likes playing big names, and she has a very bad attitude towards the rest of the crew.

However, Xie Siqing had worked with her before, and found that she didn't like to play big names, but that she had a really aggressive temper.

Xie Siqing, a big-name actor, has seen a lot of them. Basically, they will put on airs in front of people they think are inferior, but they will immediately turn off when they meet stronger people or people who need their attention.

For example, a certain actor who has always been full of style and does not act in this and that does not act in action scenes and always finds a double. Every time he sees the media coming to visit the set, he will immediately replace the double and rush forward to make dangerous moves to show his strength. How serious and dedicated.

But Gu Fei was not.

In the play she collaborated with Xie Siqing, there was a scene in which she ng many times, but she always couldn't act the feeling she needed.At that time, Xie Siqing kept telling her, explaining repeatedly tirelessly, and then Gu Fei suddenly broke out and yelled at Xie Siqing: "Can you stop for a while! Let me be quiet and think for myself!!!"

Everyone in the crew was dumbfounded.

They have never seen an actor who sternly said "shut up" to the director.

Even Xie Siqing was a little stunned, and it took 15 seconds for him to realize what happened.

Later, Gu Fei was photographed by the media arguing with someone at the airport. Her husband, who is also in the showbiz, stood behind her with the child in his arms and kept arguing, trying to persuade her. Only then did Xie Siqing realize that Gu Fei was probably like this. Personality - hot-tempered, easily irritable, and can't help but explode when angry, and let the other party understand.

Sure enough, later, Xie Siqing heard that Gu Fei mistakenly thought that a certain famous director was planning to rule her out, and put a plate of chili and hemp beef tendons on the director's head at the banquet. At that time, the director covered his eyes and rolled all over the floor, while Can't help crying: "Spicy! Spicy! So spicy!".She didn't get the role that time as a matter of course, and since then, the investors and directors who really wanted to rule her have completely lost their minds. After all, no one wants to be caught by her. It's been much cleaner since then.

Xie Siqing felt that the role of the biologist was still irritable after being changed to the heroine—her anger was an opportunity for scientists to decide to formulate rules to publicly obliterate some people, and this part of the play is still very important and has never been published much. The over-the-top good old actress probably doesn't know what it feels like to have blood rushing to the top of her head in an instant, so Gu Fei, who is experienced in this area, would probably be a good choice.

This is why Xie Siqing planned to ask Qiu Shi to star in the role before changing the gender of the character.But in fact, Gu Fei is closer.Compared with Qiu Shi who likes to spray people on the Internet and "let everyone know the true face of some people" to deal with it, Gu Fei's character is to vent her anger directly.

So, thinking about it this way, maybe it would be better if Zhao Qing didn't come.

Xie Siqing likes Zhao Qing's acting skills, but she is worried that she will not pass the audition. In the end, she has to find someone else, because Zhao Qing is a passionate person who likes to socialize with others, and her love of giving things to others is just a manifestation of her character.She has a lot of friends and everyone likes her, that's why she likes playing with her mobile phone so much, because there are too many people in her contact, various chat software, and social networks, there are always many people calling from various places looking at her.If you think about it, you will know that Zhao has a high EQ, and his personality must be far from that of the biologist.

So, Xie Siqing called Gu Fei over to audition.

One part of the audition content is her outburst, and the other part is her self-reflection and self-salvation.

She does a pretty good job in the first verse—that kind of explosiveness is by no means bragging.Even though she was just acting, the people who watched her acting were frightened by that terrifying aura. After a long time, their hearts were still pounding, and they just thought that they would never provoke her in the future.

To Xie Siqing's surprise, her second paragraph also performed very well.

It's kind of weird...

During the chat after the audition, Gu Fei answered Xie Siqing's doubts: "Actually... it's because of it... I also feel bad about this temper, and I have to confess it once a day."

Xie Siqing: "..."

Gu Fei added: "I really think it's not good. All the films I've filmed, investors, producers, directors... are all afraid of me. It was the same when I went to work before I became an actor. My boss was very special. Afraid of me, if you can let others do it, you will never find me. Every time you give me a job, you are cautious, and then I look up at him, and he will immediately say 'ah...otherwise forget it...I will do it myself I can do...' and so on, as well as the teachers in school, they never called my name when they asked questions, and they would not punish me if I violated discipline."

Xie Siqing said again: "..."

"Actually, these people are fine...but I'm afraid of affecting the relationship between husband and wife and friends. When we were in love, my husband stayed on the set to work overtime every day to avoid me. I know he still likes me very much, but I'm too afraid to quarrel again. ...It's the same with friends, so every time I have an attack, I feel like I want to get rid of it..."

"Oh..." Xie Siqing said, "...then you try to control it?"

"...can't control it."

"……Oh."

"So did I get the role?" Gu Fei asked again.

"Almost." Xie Siqing said, "As long as your salary doesn't go up too much."

According to Chen Zhengzhi's understanding, Gu Fei's film salary is about 300 million.

Her personality also hinders her development, but it is far less serious than Qiu Shi, because Gu Fei is only irritable, and she will be fine when her temper passes, while Qiu Shi always complains on the Internet and makes things out of control , for the crew, the latter is far more lethal than the former.

After the male and female protagonists were all confirmed, they found famous stylists and costume designers.

Xie Siqing feels that money is really a good thing.

2.8 million is in my hand, although it is not the top, but it is not the same as 525 million, and I no longer have the feeling of being tied up at that time.

This is the state he should have.

In the "last life", Chi Wenyue never lost money to him.Even if Xie Siqing's movies are not very popular, and the cost can be recovered every time, Chi Wenyue will not put him in shackles on the investment amount, so worrying about money every day is not what Xie Siqing is used to Fortunately, "Ke Chuan Gong Ye" has Chen Zhengzhi, otherwise, for Xie Siqing, who is not very good at budgeting, it may be really difficult to stick to the 525 million until the film is released.

Regarding styling, Chen Zhengzhi made many suggestions.

He said that Zhong Yang is a scientist this time, so the makeup photo needs to be changed.

For example, when writing a program, put on a pair of glasses.

For another example, when participating in the special training of the human continuation plan of the governments of various countries, they must wear uniforms.

Chen Zhengzhi is determined to show off his face and figure.

He said that those who watched the stills must have a nosebleed.

The others, Xie Siqing, didn't know, but after seeing Zhong Yang come out in uniform, he himself was really stunned.

That uniform set off Zhong Yang's lines perfectly.

I thought I was used to it... Now I find that it is not the case at all.

Zhong Yang saw Xie Siqing and walked up to him.

"..." Xie Siqing looked at Zhong Yang.

"What are you looking at?" Zhong Yang chuckled, leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice, "You pervert."

"..." Xie Siqing didn't know what to answer him.

"Don't look at me like that." Zhong Yang continued, "I'll give it to you when I go back tonight."

"..." Xie Siqing imagined for a moment, and then immediately became short of breath.

what happened...

After the shooting that day, Zhong Yang called Xie Siqing to the clothing room as well.

"...What are you doing?" Xie Siqing asked.

"Unbutton it." Zhong Yang said, "The top one."

"..."

"how?"

Xie Siqing's fingers were a little stiff, and it took him a long time to fix it.

Then he saw that the skin of Zhong Yang's collarbone was exposed a little.

"Then the second and the third."

"..." The exposed skin increased little by little.

"You take it off."

"Hey……"

"Hey what?" Zhong Yang said again, "I know you've been thinking about this all day long."

"Stop talking nonsense—"

"I'm talking nonsense? How dare you say you haven't thought about it?" Zhong Yang asked.

"..." Xie Siqing stopped talking.

After he took off the shirt that Zhong Yang was wearing, Zhong Yang immediately kissed him erotically.

Zhong Yang put one arm around Xie Siqing's waist, and lifted his cheek with the other.

Xie Siqing's heart was pounding, and he squeezed Zhong Yang's shoulders tightly with both hands.

"Going home?" Zhong Yang asked after a long kiss.

"Um……"

Zhong Yang laughed again in his ear: "Then bear with it, and we'll go back."

"...Oh." Xie Siqing still had reason at the moment, "Then I will go out first, and you will go out in five minutes, so that no one will find that I was also in the clothing room just now."

"..."

The two of them hugged again as soon as they got home.

Xie Siqing felt that what they did was going to collapse the bed.

That set of makeup photos did attract a lot of attention.

"The man is so handsome" became the most common comment.

……

——After a while, Xie Siqing, Chen Zhengzhi, and the art director picked up Zhong Yang and ran around to choose the shooting location.

In the end, they chose the shooting location in Europe, near a volcano that once erupted.

Although there are mountains there, no grass grows there, because the volcano has erupted before. The surface of the mountains is dark gray and looks very hard, which is very consistent with the "no oxygen" atmosphere of the planet in the movie.

They investigated for a long time, and finally the four of them agreed that the scene on one of the not too high mountains was very consistent with the scene in the movie.

Afterwards, they studied a large number of videos and written materials, visited the space center and technology companies, and invited relevant scholars from the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics to guide them and create a fake spacecraft.The spacecraft can be loaded and unloaded, and finally it will be transported to the shooting location by cargo plane and reassembled by relevant personnel.

As for the placement of various devices and items inside the spacecraft, they asked real astronauts to make suggestions.The airtight cabin, pressure regulating equipment, freezer, etc. inside the spacecraft were all made of special materials by specialized personnel.

There was a lot of pre-work on the set, sets, and props for this film.Xie Siqing doesn't like to use computer CG to solve all problems. Let the actors sit in front of the green screen and perform non-stop, and then add all the scenes and props to the computer. Xie Siqing doesn't like this method.He prefers to create real scenes as much as possible and use shooting methods to solve the problem, because no matter how good the computer cg is, there are always details that cannot be considered.The audience may not be able to find it in the movie theater, but imperfection is imperfection, and it will not become non-existent just because the audience does not point it out.In addition, lack of realism will also limit the performance of actors.Even if the actor is strong, the green screen can still detract from his expressiveness.

The other is the creation of the feeling of weightlessness in the spacecraft.The special effects team read a lot of materials and finally decided on a set of plans.There will be many devices in the spaceship model to create a feeling of weightlessness, some use steel wires to lift people forward to create a floating feeling, and some can blow objects from below to make them hover in the air.

Mike carefully considered how the camera should be placed when shooting each scene, and then designed a variety of orbits for shooting within this spaceship model.

This preparatory process is very long, but Xie Siqing wants to try to do everything the best.
