Chapter 150 This director is not easy
Today's weather is actually not good. It seems gloomy and it will rain at any time. Although the weather forecast says it will rain in the early morning, the weather forecast is, huh, whoever believes it is stupid.
Liu Zifei looked at the sky worriedly. If it started to rain in the afternoon, the shooting would be delayed.
"Liu," Ouyang Liyan said, "I heard that you quit your job at the TV station?"
"En." Liu Zifei lowered her head.
"Have you made up your mind?"
"Yes."
"Then the teacher won't ask the reason, and won't say anything. I hope you won't turn back and go to success."
"Thank you, teacher."
Ouyang Liyan said with a smile: "Your teacher Han said in a private chat with me before that, among your students in several grades, if you want to choose the three he is most optimistic about, you will definitely be the one."
Liu Zifei was a little flattered, "Mr. Han is afraid that he has misunderstood."
"Did he go wrong? I don't know. In short, it's not the time to draw a conclusion. Life is very short, but it's also very long."
Ouyang Liyan looked back at Du Caige who was bowing his head in deep thought, "This director is not easy, you should learn more from him."
"Yes, Brother Du is very powerful. There are many things that I can learn from. But Mr. Yang, how do you judge? You haven't talked to him."
"No need to talk, although the crew is small and well-equipped, he can control it with ease; the filming process has always been firmly under his control, and everyone knows what to do; he is also very good at directing and adjusting the actors. He has done it very well, and it can be seen that he understands his acting skills. Maybe he can jump up at any time and become an excellent actor...I don't need to continue to list. I don't know if he can become an excellent director. , but I'm pretty sure that a good director must do what he does."
Liu Zifei is the assistant director of this temporary crew.
As an assistant director, you are an assistant to the director, helping the director make a good film.
If you say it nicely, it's an assistant director; if you say it badly, you can say it's a chorus worker.
In the early stage, she is responsible for casting roles, supervising makeup, costumes, props, lighting, arranging the entry and selection of actors, and directing group performances. It is also necessary to take the place of the director to direct the shooting of certain scenes.
But Liu Zifei knew very well that she had only completed less than half of her duties, most of which were actually done by Du Caige herself.
If she really waited for her to do this, she would definitely not finish filming in one day.
When Du Caige was conducting Ruo Ding, she would look at the monitor from the side to understand and speculate.
Why did this one pass? Why is this one clicked?
Why doesn't this performance work, but the next one works?
Why should the light be lowered by 15 degrees this time, and why should the light be divergent next time?
There is so much for her to learn.
Some of her classmates entered the studio immediately after graduation. She has fallen behind a lot. Now she must absorb nutrients diligently like a sponge and grow up as soon as possible.
She resigned, not on impulse.
After staying on the TV station, maybe 20 or 30 years later, she will be able to reach the level of Director Zhou, be in charge of several columns, and shoot some propositional compositions. But what is that?
Du Caige, who once used the stage name Lin Ke, was the pinnacle of his debut, led the music trend of an era, and painted a strong stroke in the history of music.
Although he was banned for a few years, he made a new debut under a different name, and immediately took a little-known newcomer to the top of the new song list and the top three of the hot song list.
And she, the director of a TV station? What kind of.
If she doesn't resign, work hard, and venture out, she will never have the opportunity to have an equal dialogue in front of Du Caige.
Maybe Du Caige wouldn't mind.
She could see that Du Caige wouldn't mind whether she had money, whether she had talent, or whether she could make a good movie.
But she cares.
she minds.
If she doesn't even have the courage to pursue her dreams,
Where did you have the courage to stand in front of Du Caige and compete with such a peerless beauty as Duan Xiaochen.
Liu Zifei retracted her thoughts and returned her attention to the shooting scene.
There are so many things she doesn't understand, but now she can't ask, can't interrupt filming.
I can only remember my doubts for now, and ask Du Caige when the filming is over.
What she can learn in one day may be better than three years in school.
"This one is over!" After Du Caige finished speaking, he looked down at the time on his phone, "Everyone rest for 20 minutes. The main cast and crew come here!"
When Zhang Guodong, Ouyang Liyan, Feng Hao, Wang Lin, including Yu Hanyi, who had nothing to do and make soy sauce, all approached, Du Caige took out a USB flash drive, inserted it into the laptop, and said with a smile, "I have finished the theme song. , this is a small sample, everyone listen to it and give some opinions."
He played around with it, and soon the music player started to play "One Night in the North" sung by Jiang Youxi.
"Onenight North, I left a lot of love, whether you love it or not, it is the dust of history."
"Onenight North, I left a lot of love, I dare not ask for directions at midnight for fear of going to the depths of hundreds of flowers..."
Everyone's expressions are different, and they may not all like this song, but they all listened very seriously.
When she heard the lyrics "Deep in a Hundred Flowers", Liu Zifei said softly, "It's the occasion."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After the broadcast was over, Ouyang Liyan asked, "Did you write the lyrics and music?"
Du Caige nodded.
Ouyang Liyan clicked his tongue in admiration, clapped his hands and said, "Lin Ke is Lin Ke, and his shot is extraordinary."
Du Caige nodded with a smile, "That's wrong. Besides, I'm Hemingway now."
"Okay, it's good to change your name and start over. Actually, as an artist, you're not married yet, so it doesn't matter if you're romantic. You're out of luck."
Du Caige didn't continue, just smiled.
Ouyang Liyan laughed again: "Actually, you have wanted to be a director for a long time. You have been diligently practicing your photography skills many years ago."
Du Caige's smile was a little embarrassed. Ouyang Liyan is older than him, and his social status is also high. He is a professor of the magic shadow. If you make a joke about him, he is really silent.
Liu Zifei quickly cleared the siege for him, "Brother Du, I checked the Internet yesterday, and there really is an alley called Baihua in Beijingcheng."
"Yes," Du Caige said, "I heard about Baihua Hutong when I went to the north in the early years. There are many stories about Baihua Hutong. This song is actually based on one of the stories. So the second half of the lyrics , in fact, it has little to do with our film."
Then he simply told the story about Baihua Hutong.
"It's okay," Liu Zifei said, "there is the word "Hundred Blossoms" in the lyrics, which has already been pointed out. Then the story described in the lyrics is also part of traditional culture, and it is also relevant."
Du Caige thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense.
"Then I've decided to use this song as the theme song, and I'll get the rest of the soundtrack as soon as possible. When will you guys go to the north to shoot the rest of the scenes, Xiao Liu?"
"I think it's better to work hard," Liu Zifei said. "Take a break tomorrow and go the day after. Those few scenes are relatively simple, and I will try to finish them in one day."
Du Caige summed it up, "I'll make the first cut right after you shoot. If it goes well, it can be completed in one day. Then I use it to make special effects. This special effect should be simple, right?"
"It can be done in a few days." Liu Zifei gave a positive answer.
"That's good," Du Caige said, "then I'll do the soundtrack, dubbing, and final trimming. The whole process should be completed within ten days. Will it not delay the game?"
Liu Zifei smiled: "The time is a bit tight, but if we can follow the plan, we can catch up."
"Okay, then you all go to rest for a while, we will not rest until all the shots are finished."
After everyone dispersed, Ouyang Liyan patted Du Caige, "Can I have a chat with you, Hemingway."
"You said." Du Caige still respected this man.
"I'm actually hesitant, should I tell you this. But after thinking about it, I think it's better to tell you."
Hearing what he said solemnly, Du Caige's curiosity also came up: "You talk about it."
"Did you know that Xiao Liu has quit his job at the TV station and bet everything on this short film?"
Du Caige was silent for a while, then said, "I know now. I understand, don't worry, I know what to do."
"I didn't say what I wanted you to do. It wasn't my turn to tell you about this, but she has always been my favorite student. She went after her dream. I couldn't stop her, and I didn't want to stop her," Ouyang Liyan whispered, "Actually, I don't know what it means to tell you this. Anyway, if I say it casually, you can listen to it casually."
After speaking, he shook his head and turned to leave. After walking a few steps, he paused, as if he wanted to turn around and say something, but he didn't say anything, sighed and walked away.
"This one is over! Prepare for the next one!" Du Caige looked at the sky.
"Don't rest, just prepare to shoot, the last one, after the filming, everyone go to eat and drink, I will be the host!"
The atmosphere of the crew immediately became lively.
"Director, can I eat seafood?"
"Is it just eating and no other activities?"
Because Du Caige deliberately kept it away and did not show his tyrant side on the set, the members of this temporary crew were not very afraid of him.
Du Caige said with a smile, "You can do other activities if you want. If the film wins an award, I will organize everyone to get together again, bring all the family members and have a good time, okay? Now cheer up, let's put the last one together. Good shot!"
"Okay! Listen to the director!"
"The lights are ok!"
"Props ok!"
"Photography ok!"
"The actor is in place!"
Du Caige looked at the monitor and compared the previous photos, "Mr. Ouyang, you should go a little to the left and raise your hand a little bit. Xiao Tang, look at your toes, bend your back slightly, don't bend too much."
After the actors were all in their poses, Du Caige said, "The scene is marked. The 15th scene, three mirrors, the first time."
"start!"
