Chapter 149 Just showing off
November 24, Wednesday afternoon, at a location in Hengdian Film and Television City, the crew of "Jin Yi" has been shooting here for half a month.
We took a break the day before yesterday, which is relatively rare in the crew of Che Zhilai.
The big directors in the circle are almost all workaholics. Once a project is established, they want to devote themselves to work. At this time, they are almost all in a state of forgetting to eat and sleep.
Since they are taking a break, there must be a reason. There are also many gossipers in the crew.
Some people say that the director is going to adjust the script. Why?
This matter is not a big deal in the crew of "Jin Yi". The male lead Yan Jiachao's role is not as good as the male lead Pu Bin, which is really unreasonable.
But everyone understands that they are all old people who follow Che Zhilai. Huanyue has always been like this, with old people bringing new people, so-called healthy development of the company.
This time, it was really said that the script was indeed adjusted, but the actors were changed.
Jiang Yifan, also a well-known actor, is also an artist of Huanyue, and is also a fellow apprentice of Yan Jiachao, the kind of agent.
I just joined the crew last Thursday, and I play the role of a young master of a gangster force. He is the dark force in the heart of the male second, which is equivalent to the male second's biggest trump card, and has a lot of scenes.
I joined the crew on Thursday and started shooting in the evening. It took three consecutive days. For the staff, they have a lot of memories.
However, someone suddenly came yesterday and replaced Jiang Yifan and started to reshoot the scenes that Jiang Yifan had shot.
The script was indeed adjusted, but it was not to adjust the male first and male second, but to replace the male fourth and male so-and-so, the kind of mutual exchange.
It's not so-and-so, but compared with the original role, dozens of scenes were changed to more than ten scenes.
"What do you think?" The stage manager asked the stage attendant next to him.
The stagehand crossed his arms, looked at the filming, and smiled: "I'm standing and watching, what else can I do? This kind of thing is not new. Which director has not changed roles temporarily?"
The stagehand shook his head and said: "I just feel that this time the change seems to be okay. This surname Chen is indeed more pleasing to the eye than Jiang Yifan."
"Jiang Yifan is too thin, where does his chivalrous spirit come from? If you ask me, he is not suitable for this role. It's just that the company has always adhered to the principle of keeping the fat water in the fields, and we can use our own people if we can." Another staff member interrupted.
"Hahaha, then I am more realistic. It's a good change." Someone else interrupted.
The stagehand rolled his eyes: "You were bribed with a box lunch?"
"That's a box lunch? That's a family-style pork trotter rice, with fried chicken legs and drinks. The whole crew, including extras, has more than a hundred people, and it cost six or seven thousand yuan. It's rare for a newcomer to do this."
"Indeed, even if we don't talk about this, look at his demeanor and the way he holds the sword, it's so natural."
"I'm quite optimistic about him. Standing next to Pu Bin, his image and temperament will stand out even more."
"Shh, don't cause trouble for him. I think it's a bit high-profile. He was originally replaced. I understand that he wants to perform well and leave a good impression on everyone, but it also makes some people embarrassed. It's okay if he has reached a certain level, but it's too eye-catching for a newcomer to do this."
"Damn, these people are really tired of socializing."
"So you can only do odd jobs."
"Cut! This one passed, Chen Shen, you have some skills."
Che Zhilai is very thin, and he still has a beard, which looks a bit unkempt. He smiles very restrainedly, as if he is always worried.
Chen Shen bowed to Che Zhilai, stepped aside, and let the staff on the scene remove his makeup.
Chen Shen's scenes today were all shot.
Jiang Ying shrank and trotted over, as if she was afraid of disturbing the crew. She unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to Chen Shen, then whispered: "Great, it's very suitable for ancient costumes. The future is promising, the future is promising!"
Chen Shen smiled, did not return her praise, drank two sips of water, and handed the water to Jiang Ying again: "Xiao Jiang, according to yesterday's specifications, order another batch of boxed lunches at 4:30, and it can only be more, not less."
"Ah? Buy again?" Jiang Ying was stunned as soon as she finished speaking, and then immediately changed her words: "No, I'm not afraid of spending money, I just feel a little bad."
Jiang Ying is a personal assistant, wherever Chen Shen is, she is there.
Chen Shen started filming yesterday afternoon, and filmed for most of the day today. Jiang Ying observed Chen Shen from different angles before, and the more she looked at him, the better her mood became.
Chen Shen was not like a newcomer when filming. He was never seen panicking after NG. He nodded when the director said so, and then did it again. He basically passed.
Watching from a different position means hearing a lot of voices.
Many people praised, so Jiang Ying was in a good mood all the time, but there were also some impatient discussions, saying that Chen Shen had a strong background, loved to show off, and wanted to compete with Pu Bin, etc.
Jiang Ying had originally thought about talking to Chen Shen about this matter in the evening, but she didn't expect that he would treat everyone to dinner.
In front of Chen Shen stood a makeup artist wearing a mask, who was helping Chen Shen remove his makeup. She smiled and said, "Don't spend money, it's not necessary. I have been with the group for many years and have seen many newcomers. You are the one with the best potential I have seen."
Jiang Ying smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Thank you, sister."
"It's okay, I'm telling the truth."
Chen Shen smiled and said, "Then I will treat you even more."
The makeup artist was stunned for a moment, and then started the action with her hands. She didn't persuade him. From her point of view, people's hearts are complicated, and many people enjoy the pursuit of people around them.
This problem is considered to be a relatively good character flaw. In this circle, if you are not famous, you will still offend people as long as you are better than the people around you.
Jiang Ying looked at the time: "Okay, I'll arrange it."
Chen Shen then looked at the shooting area. Pu Bin failed again. Pu Bin is the best artist in Wang Ziwen's hands at the moment, a handsome guy.
From yesterday to today, Chen Shen rehearsed five or six scenes with him, and his acting was very formulaic.
He was happy and sad, but it was difficult to connect. It's not that Chen Shen couldn't connect, but the rhythm was wrong. Pu Bin's acting was too full, like a skit on the spot, with big movements, loud voices, and many emotions.
Chen Shen's NGs were basically due to the failure to connect.
For acting, Chen Shen is more confident than singing. The longest career in his previous life was an actor. He also stepped from idol dramas to serious dramas. He went to all major awards and was nominated, but he didn't win.
Lack of luck, lack of background.
What can I say about this drama? Chen Shen feels that it will only have a response in a small circle. It is a typical idol drama that serves the role, and many logics are wrong.
Chen Shen thinks that the director should be clear about this, otherwise he would not change the role.
He must have changed roles because he was upset.
Why did he invite everyone to dinner? It was simple, just to show off, no other reason.
Chen Shen wanted to see how long some people's emotional thresholds could last.
