Chapter 223 I am the director, I have the final say

At a quarter past 9, Du Caige appeared in the studio with Liu Zifei.

The agreed meeting time is 9:30, and then one hour of makeup, preparation, and props preparation, etc., and the official start of shooting at 10:30.

It is expected to take a day to complete the filming. Of course, if the filming is not completed, the studio can be rented for another day.

Zhang Tianwang's original MV was shot on location. It did not focus on filming the storyline, but mainly highlighted the image of Zhang Tianwang's handsome uncle at that time.

The overall feeling is that it's a bit sharp, cool, and has a lot of elevation shots.

But the storyline is messy, and you can even say there is no storyline.

And Du Caige didn't plan to shoot according to the original version.

As for the scenes where the heroine of the MV appeared in the original version, he was embarrassed to ask for a salary of 20,000-30,000 for Liu Zifei.

Seeing his face, others may laugh and say nothing on the surface, but when he turns his back, there may be some gossip.

Du Caige also wanted to take Liu Zifei to shoot more MVs to help her make more money, and didn't want to block the road by herself.

After Du Caige arrived, Peng Sizhang hadn't appeared yet, but the entire film crew was almost there.

Du Caige communicated with the makeup artist, prop artist, lighting, and photography respectively, while Liu Zifei listened to the whole process.

Du Caige didn't listen to her for a long time and rushed her: "You go to make up, don't waste your time. This basic thing is not worth listening to."

"No, I'm going to listen." Liu Zifei listened with relish and was willing to leave.

Du Caige glared at her.

Liu Zifei was horrified by the stare. She knew how strict Du Caige was on the filming scene, and she also remembered what Du Caige told him before not to appear to be very familiar with him.

So he lowered his head, looking a little aggrieved.

Then the more I thought about it, the more aggrieved, the tears welled in my eyes.

Du Caige didn't expect a look to make her cry, but she could only pretend not to see it and ignore it.

Liu Zifei wept silently for a while, but she felt too embarrassed.

She concluded that it has been too hard these days. Although she has been able to survive, she is a little fragile and has long wanted to find a chance to cry.

Seeing that Du Caige didn't chase her anymore, she stood behind Du Caige, listening intently to Du Caige's communication with the staff and assigning work.

At 10:40, before Peng Sizhang appeared, Du Caige was about to have a seizure.

Liu Zifei saw that something was wrong, and quickly slipped away to put on makeup. At this time, she didn't want to hit the gun.

Du Caige's identity is no longer a secret in the circle.

With his coffee position, he can indeed point at Peng Sizhang's nose and scold him, and he can chat and laugh with the executives of major entertainment companies.

A manager in charge of communication at Jiutian Media made a few phone calls and was sweating profusely. While secretly watching Du Caige's increasingly gloomy face, he usually nodded to Du Caige, wiped his sweat and said, "Peng Sizhang is already on the road. Will go to urge again.

Du Caige didn't talk nonsense with him, just nodded and replied, "Yes."

Although this person has the title of manager, he is actually just a little transparent. It's too cheap to get angry at him, so Du Caige won't do it.

By 11 o'clock, Peng Si Zhang had not yet appeared.

Du Caige stood up and said decisively, "Let's start work first and finish filming the scenes without Peng Sizhang."

The manager of Jiutian Media next to him was hesitant: "Most of the shots have Peng Sizhang, right?"

"I'm the director," Du Caige said calmly, "I have the final say."

"But the script..."

"I wrote the script, I want to change it now, is there a problem?"

Looking at him, the manager shook his head decisively: "You have the final say."

So a group of people got busy.

Du Caige's previous script, on the one hand, had to show Peng Sizhang's charm, and on the other hand, he had to give the heroine enough shots. He had to shoot a short story in a 4-minute MV, which was a test of his narrative ability.

But now, Du Caige decided to cut off a third of Peng Sizhang's scene.

Give the heroine more shots.

"Associate Director! Associate Director!"

Du Caige shouted twice, only then did Liu Zifei realize that it was her who was calling, hurriedly pushed the makeup artist away, and ran over to listen to the training.

Du Caige communicated with her in a low voice for a few minutes, and Liu Zifei nodded frequently. Then sit back and resume makeup.

Du Caige originally thought that if the cooperation with Peng Sizhang was pleasant this time, he might as well cooperate several times in the future to repair the relationship.

But now it seems that it's okay, try to hold back your temper first, to ensure that there will be no serious conflicts in this cooperation, and don't tear your face.

Originally, I wanted to show affection to Jiutian Media, but don't make it happen because of Peng Sizhang and Jiutian Media.

At 11:40, the preparatory work was finally done. Du Caige looked at the time and said, "I know everyone is a little tired, and some people are hungry. But please hold on, we will take a break until 1:30. "

These staff members are not familiar with Du Caige, and they are all in a wait-and-see state for the time being, and none of them jumped out to fry.

When the shooting started, Du Caige's strict requirements and familiarity with the business immediately calmed them down and made them not dare to make mistakes.

"What happened to the second camera, the angle is wrong!"

"Lights, please turn to the left by another 10 degrees, thank you."

"Lights, please note, I don't want to repeat. If you can't meet my requirements, I don't mind changing people."

"First seat, what school did you graduate from? I'm very puzzled. I can't even figure out the division ratio of the shots. How could your teacher let you graduate?"

"The heroine, I know that you are a newcomer and have little acting experience. I also allow you to make mistakes, but please show me your best attitude."

"Protagonist, pay attention to the camera, your eyes are always deviated."

"Props master! Replace the heroine's bracelet. This one is too vulgar and doesn't match the heroine's temperament."

"Make-up artist, come here. Pay attention to the heroine's eyeliner in the camera. Do you see it here? From this point of view, this is close to the effect of smoky makeup, I don't like it, I want the heroine to show Very pure, very classical kind of beauty, don't be enchanting. Give you 20 minutes, repaint her eyeliner, can you do it?"

At 1:30, Du Caige called the card on time. "Although the filming will be finished in a little bit, but I think everyone's state is affected a bit, so let's rest and eat first."

The prepared lunch box was brought in, and the micro-camera crew of only a dozen people immediately devoured the lunch box one by one.

Liu Zifei took the box lunch, and after taking two bites, she lost her appetite.

She hesitated for a while and came to Du Caige.

Du Caige sat alone in a corner, took a cardboard cushion, sat on the ground, and ate slowly.

But the way he looked at it, and Liu Zifei's experience when he was eating, knew that he was definitely not tasting food-because this boxed lunch was too unpalatable.

He must be thinking.

"Brother Du," Liu Zifei asked in a low voice, "how was my performance?"

"Oh," Du Caige gave her a smile, "it's okay, after all, it's not your job to be an actor, you can do it like this. But I suggest you learn more about acting, otherwise when you direct a movie in the future, you will I don't know how to direct an actor."

"I understand," Liu Zifei bowed her head and smiled embarrassedly, "I've been doing errands in various crews for a while now, and sometimes I've been working as an assistant director in a small crew, and I want to tell the actors. I find that my theoretical foundation in acting is too much. It's bad, and it really needs to be remedied."

"Well, come on, you can do it." Du Caige encouraged absently.

"What exactly is this story about? I didn't understand it. You didn't follow the script."

Du Caige smiled, "Even if I shoot according to the script, you may not be able to understand it. Every director's thinking is different, and there are often changes on the spot."

"For example, according to the original script, in Act 3, Scene 2, you looked at the unwrapped gift, gave Peng Si Zhang a sweet smile, and leaned against his chest," he explained, "but now I I cut Peng Sizhang's role and made changes to the script, so I made you look at the text messages on your phone, couldn't help laughing, and then rolled on the bed to express how happy you are after seeing the love words written by your lover ."

If Liu Zifei realized something, she nodded. Then he looked around, no one paid attention to them, so he whispered: "Brother Du, Peng Si Zhang hasn't come yet. He's too big, isn't he?"

Du Caige shook his head: "Don't worry, remember what I said to you on the way here."

Of course Liu Zifei remembered.

Du Caige's original words were: "If I fight with Peng Sizhang, you have to show indifference, don't interrupt, and don't fight."

"I understand if I don't interrupt," Liu Zifei asked curiously, "Why don't you let me fight?"

Du Caige looked at her and smiled, bowed his head to eat, and did not answer.

Liu Zifei wondered and walked away.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly realized that it was because she didn't have enough coffee seats, and she didn't even have the qualifications to pull the rack.

She could only hide far away, lest the city gate catch fire and bring disaster to Chiyu, lest the gods fight and mortals suffer.

Du Caige ate and ate slowly by himself, thinking about the next shooting.

Although for him, shooting an MV can be regarded as a butcher's knife.

Killing a chicken with a bull's knife is a waste, but if you take it lightly and don't master your strength, and kill the chicken with one knife, it will be funny and humiliating.

Therefore, Du Caige took this shooting very seriously.

The song "If This Is Not Love" was composed by Wu Bo and lyrics by Li Zhuoxiong.

In terms of style, it has a little light rock flavor.

Therefore, Du Caige also decided to take a cool and rocky route for the MV shooting.

Of course, selling cool is the male protagonist's job, as long as the female protagonist can be good looking, cute and cute.

After eating hastily, Du Caige went through the scene taken before.

Consider whether there are a few shots to reshoot.

He looked at the time, and was about to announce the continuation of the filming, when suddenly the manager of Jiutian Media ran up and said, "Mr. Hemingway, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time. Teacher Peng will be here soon."
