Chapter 60
Chapter 60
Feng Yang almost choked to death at Ji Changze's words.
Is this a compliment? ?
This is obviously a disguised form of bragging about oneself! !
He looked constipated. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
After all, Ji Changze was his immediate boss, so how could he have the nerve to say things like, "It's wrong of you to do this, you should praise me in any way."
But that's not right.
He had seen before that Director Ji was a very easy-to-talk and fun-loving person, but he didn't know how good his attitude was towards Qin Lanqi.
Even if one is an idol and the other is a subordinate, the comparison wouldn't be so tragic.
Feng Yang soon found out.
Ji Changze doesn't have two faces towards his idol and his subordinates. He has one face towards his idol and another face towards other people.
Anyone who is a director has a loud voice.
After all, if it is not a big one, it will be difficult to manage the chaos of the shooting scene. Maybe the director who has just joined the crew is quite polite, but after a long time, even if he perseveres, he is still as polite as before, and his voice still cannot be reduced. .
But Ji Changze didn't. No matter what the situation was, his voice would always be the same, neither high nor low.
It doesn't matter if no one is there to hear him. There is also a boy with a loud voice beside him, who is specially used to repeat his words and help him yell at people with a loud voice.
At first, the crew was a little unorganized when they first started filming.
The attitude of the staff, including the artists, was not very positive when the work started. Except for the artists who were filming for the first time or got an important role for the first time, they worked hard like chicken blood. The other veterans were all like you. Move as you like, I won’t move anyway.
Ji Changze understood this.
After all, he is a new director, everyone knows that he is here to play, and now everyone knows that Qin Lanqi is his idol.
Ever since, he has become a wealthy second generation who plays tricks to support his idol.
In addition, he has little directing experience and was not a professional director before. He is like the kind of person who has no interest in the crew and feels that the crew will not be able to produce anything good anyway, and it will be the end of just messing around.
After all, the results are all the same.
Ji Changze can understand their mentality very well, but understanding does not mean condoning.
He lives and eats on the set, and when he sees someone who is not serious or an artist who is perfunctory, he will immediately kick them out.
What? Liquidated damages?
The uncle can afford it.
It’s not like you, the second generation of rich people, only know about me in a day or two.
After he opened a few staff members at first, the attitude of the staff below suddenly became serious.
There is still no need to pay liquidated damages at this time. After all, the relationship between him and these staff members is just an employment relationship. The boss just wants to fire the disobedient subordinates. At most, he will pay you a little more salary.
Artists are more difficult to work with.
Among them is a seasoned artist, who can be regarded as a professional walk-on artist. He has an innocent appearance and takes good care of himself, so he can play a girl even if he is a little older.
Feng Yang was in charge of the original audition. The reason why she chose this artist was because she was considered to be a fan among the people who came to audition.
Therefore, although the required salary is a bit higher, considering that her face does fit the character, the fans behind her can be used as the basis for movie promotion. In addition, she can be regarded as an old actor, so she has more experience than those new artists.
This artist was chosen due to various factors.
Then came the problem.
Maybe it's because there aren't any famous characters in the cast, but the short one is the most popular. The artists don't dare to offend her, and they all talk to her in a low voice.
The crew members on the set were also very respectful to her.
In less than a week, this guy already thinks of himself as a big shot.
In normal times, it’s okay to give orders to others, but when filming, I still don’t shoot properly.
This scene is about the heroine played by Qin Lanqi as a senior who comes to welcome the new "sisters". Among them is a girl who is timid. Because Qin Lanqi has a friendly attitude, he likes to get close to her and always pulls her. Talk to her.
Ji Changze's request was that when the two of them talked, they should express the misery of this girl who lost her parents because of the war, and who eventually went from being a well-educated girl from a well-to-do family with a kind mother, a filial son, and a younger brother, to being reduced to a troupe member. and fear, coupled with some hatred of the war, and hatred of the imperial army but did not dare to hate.
Although it is not very simple to express this plot, it is not that difficult. After all, the lines have been clearly stated. She only needs to say the lines with red eyes, hatred and sadness, and the work is roughly half done. .
When Ji Changze wrote this girl, the final position was that she would die.
And he will die in front of the heroine.
She was originally the eldest daughter of a scholar's family. She went to school, was loved by her parents, and protected by her younger brother. However, she lost everything because of the war and was sold to a theater troupe.
Moreover, this troupe was not her final destination. To sing, she had to start practicing at a young age. She had grown so big when she came here, and the troupe did not buy her just to let her sing.
But while the people in the troupe were singing on the stage, they were serving the imperial troops below.
If any imperial army took a fancy to it, it would of course be overnight.
If she was redeemed, it would not be a good thing, after all, everyone saw how brutal the imperial army was.
In the past, there were girls who were taken away, but they were beaten to death and thrown back, and they died after two days.
In this situation, she was definitely afraid, and the only heroine who was kind to her became her last straw.
She liked to talk to the heroine, liked to secretly watch the heroine practice her voice, liked to hide in the corner and learn to sing like the heroine, and finally learned to make shoes for singing from a lady in the opera troupe, and made them secretly at night after being busy during the day.
She planned to give them to the heroine after they were done.
Ji Changze wrote her so lovable because he wanted to make her death more intuitive.
If the actor performed well, when she died, the audience would naturally feel distressed and angry, and be driven into this plot.
As a result, when the filming started, the actor was crying.
But while she was crying, she moved her body to block Qin Lanqi's face and let her face face the camera.
Before shooting this scene, Feng Yang specifically told her to make room for Qin Lanqi.
The first time, Ji Changze frowned, called "Cut" and asked for a retake.
The second time, his face had already darkened.
When the third time came, he threw the thermos cup on his hand directly to the ground.
——Pah!
When the sound of shattering sounded, the whole crew was silent.
Although Ji Changze is not a person with a good temper, he is not the kind of arrogant rich second generation said on the Internet these days.
He never interferes with the work of professionals and gives them great trust. Although he fired several staff members before, isn't it common to fire people in the crew?
In addition, everyone knows that Ji Changze is a fan of the heroine Qin Lanqi. He usually explains the play to Qin Lanqi with a fan's smile and gives Qin Lanqi wolfberry water. There was a scene that required cold water before, and he checked it many times before shooting to make sure there was no problem and let Qin Lanqi go after it was passed as much as possible.
Before entering the water, they also boiled ginger soup and prepared a warm blanket.
It can be said that they took care of people in every possible way.
If it was another crew, everyone would have gossiped about it in private, but when it came to Ji Changze, his frank attitude made people not know where to start.
Maybe it was because Ji Changze sometimes video chatted with the girls in Qin Lanqi's fan group.
Watching this tall, handsome, handsome and flamboyant rich second generation holding a z-i'pa-i pole approaching Qin Lanqi who was resting.
With his eyes on the phone, he said: "Everyone, look at our Qiqi who is taking a break. She just finished the hard filming and is drinking wolfberries now."
After that, he added a sentence amid the girls' screams of envy: "I made this wolfberry."
Then, most of the people in the crew looked at this director Ji with a look of = =, like a child, proudly showing off to the female fans on the other side of the video how many words he had said to Qin Lanqi today, how many photos he had taken, and so on.
It's really down-to-earth.
He is a qualified fan.
To be honest, if Qin Lanqi is not popular now and has few fans, Ji Changze, who dominates his idol and is in the same crew with his idol every day and can communicate in various ways, will definitely be jealous to death.
Of course, the premise of being jealous of him is that you don't know that he is a director.
Anyway, Ji Changze's behavior in the past few days is really hard to find any faults, and although he is only gentle, easy to talk to, considerate and thoughtful to Qin Lanqi, everyone can see it and unconsciously think that Ji Changze is a very easy-to-talk person.
Even when he fired someone before, he was very easy to talk to. He just asked them to pay half a month's salary and sent them away politely.
Everyone saw whether those fired staff members worked well or not. Ji Changze fired them, and the other staff members in the crew felt a little relieved.
After all, if they worked hard and others didn't, they would feel unbalanced if they could continue to get paid.
Almost everyone acquiesced that Ji Changze had a good temper.
No one had seen him get angry in the past few days since he joined the crew.
Therefore, when he suddenly got angry, almost everyone's eyes fell on Ji Changze, including the actors who were filming.
Ji Changze stood up with a dark face.
The artist was also stunned, but soon calmed down.
What was she afraid of? Anyway, if Ji Changze blamed her, she would just say that she didn't pay attention at all.
She was the only one in the crew with her own fans. What if Ji Changze was angry that she took away Qin Lanqi's scene? Could he still drive her away?
She confidently waited for Ji Changze to question her so that she could reply.
But Ji Changze didn't even look at her, but called out directly: "Feng Yang."
Feng Yang, who was standing next to him, also saw him look so scary for the first time, and hurried over: "Director Ji?"
How could he not be scared?
It was just like a giraffe that had been eating leaves before suddenly turned into a carnivorous dinosaur.
"Deal with this person and send him out of the crew."
Ji Changze made a decision without much nonsense.
When this was said, almost everyone who heard it was stunned.
This included Feng Yang and the artist.
"Director Ji, is this...isn't this a bit sudden? She just didn't do well in the filming. How about she do it again? When it comes to filming, it's normal to fail after more than a dozen times."
Feng Yang's first reaction was to put things to rest.
After all, there are not many powerful people in their crew. If this artist leaves, they will really be a group of unknown newcomers or rookies.
At that time, there was no fan base at all. After the release, it was almost a hit.
"Teacher Liu Lan, come over here and apologize to Director Ji."
Feng Yang wanted to help keep the person here, but Liu Lan didn't get his kindness at all.
She is also confident. She has signed the contract. She has seen it very clearly these days. Ji Changze, a rich second generation, is easy to talk to. He doesn't interfere much in other work in the crew. He just comes to enjoy the director's pleasure and support others. Only Qin Lanqi.
The scenes have been filmed for several days now, and the scenes between her and Qin Lanqi were mainly filmed these days.
If Ji Changze drives her away at this time, Qin Lanqi will have to reshoot again.
And who knows how expensive reshooting footage is.
Feng Yang will definitely try his best to stop it. As for Ji Changze, seeing how he cares for Qin Lanqi, he is not willing to let his idol work hard one more time.
Coupled with the number of fans she has.
Even if Ji Changze was unhappy with her, he would definitely not be able to drive her away as he wished.
But even if she thought so in her heart, Liu Lan was not a fool and was really tough in front of her.
Ji Changze is a layman, which is a good thing for her, but at the same time, he, a second-generation rich man, cannot stand being stimulated.
As long as she admits her mistake well and makes it again next time, and admits it again after she makes it, there is nothing she can do about him, a rich second-generation layman.
Just look at how gentle he is towards Qin Lanqi.
This person should also have a preference for beauty.
If she softens her voice and says nice things, she might be able to seduce this rich second generation.
"I'm sorry, Director Ji."
Thinking about it, Liu Lan stepped forward, with a somewhat pitiful expression on her face, and said cautiously: "I'm so sorry, I really won't do it next time."
Shit, she will definitely do it again next time.
On the one hand, he wanted to get more shots for himself, but on the other hand, he was a little jealous of Qin Lanqi.
What kind of bad luck did this guy have?
Obviously she couldn't compare to herself in everything before, but she was so lucky that a rich second-generation fan fell from the sky and spent so much money to support her.
Even if this movie is destined not to be a good movie, it is still a movie after all.
As soon as you show your face, don’t all the fans come?
Look at her again. She obviously has the most fans and is the most famous among the entire crew, but in the end she can only serve as a foil for Qin Lanqi.
It works anyway, so why not do it.
In the entertainment industry, what's the use of having face.
Apologize, say something nice, and continue next time, or if you get caught, you'll have to apologize again.
Ji Changze is a newcomer, he is so rich, and he is still a man, so he is always embarrassed to argue with her.
However--
Facing the pitiful Liu Lan, Ji Changze frowned.
"I watched you take pictures three times, and each time it was more outrageous than the last. Who knows whether you will do this again next time."
The expression on Liu Lan's face froze, but she quickly recovered and asked with a confused expression: "But Director Ji, I was quite into the drama just now. I don't understand where I went wrong."
She originally thought that Ji Changze, a layman, would be dismissed by her in a few words, but Ji Changze didn't answer at all.
"Did Director Feng tell you before the filming started to remember to show your face to Qin Lanqi? Did you show it? I just wanted to have your whole face on the camera. It happened three times, each time more and more. You have such a big face that nothing else can be shown in the camera except your face. Did I come here to ask you to make fun of me? Or was it a one-man show? I told you clearly before that the two of you acted opposite each other. What happened? You just push others aside and you're a fool."
Liu Lan: "..."
Her face suddenly turned red.
After all, she had never been scolded like this in front of so many people before.
Seeing the people around her focusing on her, she felt uncomfortable all over.
"Director Ji...I really didn't mean it..."
No matter what, let’s clean up first and then talk about it.
She quickly thought about what to say in her mind, and then said: "Director Feng told me the play before, but I didn't understand it very well, so..."
"Don't you understand?"
Ji Changze's eyebrows furrowed even more.
"As an actor, you don't even understand what others say to you?"
He stopped wasting time with Liu Lan and turned to Feng Yang with an impatient expression: "Look at who you are looking for. He has poor ears and poor understanding. Change him now."
Liu Lan: "..."
Why doesn't Ji Changze follow the routine? ! !
Feng Yang also felt that Liu Lan's attitude was unacceptable, but considering the cost of the crew, he began to whisper to Ji Changze: "Director Ji, we have already arranged how to spend the money before. If we change people now, we will not only have to pay compensation For liquidated damages, we have to find another person. The shots taken by Teacher Liu Lan before were completely ruined, and we have to shoot them again. This money..."
In fact, making movies is really difficult.
Basically, as soon as the phone is turned on, the money is gone like water.
That's money for everything.
And accidents happen from time to time, so the crew usually prepares a sum of funds for emergencies.
If they change people at this time, they will basically lose a lot of money.
Liu Lan couldn't hear what they were saying, but she could roughly guess it by looking at Feng Yang's embarrassed face.
There was a little more pride in her eyes.
I knew that even if Ji Changze didn't play according to the routine, it would be fine.
The crew has been working for so many days now. How much loss will it cause if they change people now?
Even if Ji Changze still hates her, she doesn't care.
If this is a famous big director in the industry, she will be afraid. Ji Changze is an outsider who comes to the circle to support his idol.
His family is rich, but he himself has no ability, so she is afraid of nothing.
Liu Lan is at ease.
Then she saw Ji Changze sneer, took out his mobile phone and made a call in front of everyone.
"Hello, Dad, my crew needs money, give me another 10 million."
Ji's father, who was fighting wits and courage with three enemies over there, heard this and was about to say 10 million farts, you are your father's money printing machine.
Suddenly I remembered that my son had been reporting the progress of the crew's filming to him with all kinds of passion these days.
His son, who had never suffered since he was born, could stay up until three o'clock in the morning to shoot a scene well, and he would also design some props himself.
He even lived in that kind of small bungalow and ate a big pot of rice every day.
When he ate chicken legs yesterday, his chicken legs were bigger than those of the one next to him, which was worth taking a photo and sending it to himself to show off.
When has Nagasawa ever suffered such hardship?
The key is that although he suffered, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was in a very good spirit and in a good mood, as if he was not afraid of any hardship or fatigue.
The son who used to be pampered and would not stay in a five-star hotel when he went out became like this for filming, which shows that he really likes it.
It's rare for his son to like something, how can he not support it?
So, at the shooting site, in full view of the public, everyone saw Ji Changze using his cell phone on speakerphone, and a male voice came from it:
"Okay, I'll let Xiaolin call you, and next time if it's not enough, ask dad again."
Everyone: "..."
Ten million...
Even if they knew Ji Changze was a rich second-generation, his family couldn't be so generous, right? ?
This is money that ordinary people can't earn in their lifetime, but in the mouths of Ji Changze and his father, it's as simple as giving pocket money.
At this moment, most of the inner activities are like this.
Director Ji, does your family still need a younger brother or brother? A son is also fine.
The kind who can go to work and work doesn't need ten million, just five million.
Ji Changze simply said a few more words to Ji's father, hung up the phone, and then turned to look at Feng Yang.
Feng Yang: "..."
He was shocked and his back straightened.
"No problem, Director Ji, I will negotiate with Teacher Liu Lan right away."
After saying that, he walked to Liu Lan with his chest and head held high, and made a gesture of invitation: "Teacher Liu Lan, let's talk about the penalty for breach of contract and the confidentiality agreement?"
Liu Lan: "..."
She never expected that Director Ji's family was so rich.
This time she really regretted it.
Originally, she just wanted to use Qiao to get some benefits for herself, thinking that Ji Changze made the crew an egg anyway, and dared not touch her stone.
Who knew that this was a golden egg.
After being in the circle for so long, if she was not thick-skinned and flexible, she would not have such a large number of fans.
Liu Lan made a prompt decision and began to plead with a nice face: "Director Ji, I really didn't mean it. Please give me another chance. I know I was wrong. I will definitely shoot it well and seriously next time."
Ji Changze: "So you didn't shoot it seriously just now?"
Liu Lan: "...Director Ji, I am really sincere. I know I was wrong. I will apologize to you sincerely. Please don't bother with me."
Ji Changze didn't buy her tricks at all: "I will forgive you if you apologize? If you just waste my time and my money, it's fine. I don't care about these anyway, but you are wasting time with so many lines. The plot that could have been done in one go was shot three times. I paid the crew to work for me, not for you to play with. Okay, there's nothing to say. Since I was born, when have I, Ji Changze, ever suffered such a humiliation? Feng Yang, send her out and find me another actor to replace her."
Liu Lan's heart jumped.
She could clearly feel that since Ji Changze said that "the staff didn't let her play around", the other people who were just watching the fun immediately looked at her with a bit of anger and gloating.
Before, it was just her and the director who were not on good terms, but now it has evolved into her deliberately stealing the spotlight in order to get more shots for herself, causing everyone to have to accompany her to shoot multiple times.
After being in the crew for a long time, you will know that what everyone fears most is that a scene is stuck there.
In the first take, the actors are immersed in the play, with true feelings, and the staff are serious.
In the second take, the actors have to be immersed in the play again, and the staff have to continue to be serious.
By the third, fourth, and fifth take, they are all numb.
Everyone has only one thought in their hearts.
Let's finish the shooting quickly, let's finish it quickly, it's really unbearable.
Not only the actors who keep repeating the same scene can't stand it, but also the staff who have to do repetitive work and can't see the end of the rest can't stand it.
It's already very annoying if it's not intentional.
Now Ji Changze clearly said that Liu Lan did it on purpose. Isn't the resentment of everyone repeating the filming three times directed at her?
Liu Lan gritted her teeth and wanted to defend herself, but she found that she really didn't know where to start.
She could only look gloomy and leave here with Feng Yang, who motioned her to move forward.
What's so great about it.
A new director led a bunch of trash.
So what if he was rich.
There are people in the circle who spent hundreds of millions but made a bad movie.
Now she got away, not only does she not have to worry about her face growing in a bad movie in the future, but she can also get a penalty.
Speaking of which, she is the winner.
Just thinking about being blocked by Ji Changze several times just now, she is still very angry.
This Ji Changze, he seems to be easy to talk to these days.
Why is he so tough.
Bah! Trash rich second generation! He just relies on his family's wealth. Does he really think that this circle is so easy to mix?
Don't spend a lot of money and end up with nothing.
Ji Changze didn't care what Liu Lan thought.
He felt satisfied that since Liu Lan was replaced by him at the cost of liquidated damages, the work attitude of the crew has improved a lot.
Especially the artists.
They didn't have much confidence in the first place, otherwise they wouldn't come to this crew that was doomed to fail as soon as it was formed.
They are not like Liu Lan who still has a foundation and fans. If this drama is gone, they can still find the next one.
If they lose this drama, they don't know when they can find a crew willing to let them play a larger role.
Ji Changze's trick of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys was just right.
Anyway, he never heard some people in the crew say privately that he was a new director or that he and Qin Lan had a lot of things.
The next step is to concentrate on filming.
Feng Yang is really experienced. Knowing that his crew has money, he is confident. He originally wanted to find a famous person, but the famous people are not short of money, and they are also very careful about their reputation. They are not very willing to come to their crew to shoot bad movies.
So in the end, he went to the Film University to find a girl who was still in school.
This girl is really young and looks very innocent. When she looks at people, she is like a little deer. She is more in line with the script requirements than Liu Lan.
After the person was found, everyone started to reshoot the previous plot.
Qin Lanqi never complained from beginning to end.
Ji Changze gave her wolfberries and said that she was hard, but she didn't think so at all.
What kind of hardship is this.
In order to get a role that can show up, she soaked in cold water in the middle of winter. In order to perform the plot of being dragged by others, she got many scratches on her body. She couldn't have a double for the fighting scenes and had to do it herself. In the end, she went home and felt sore for many days. She didn't dare to twist her neck.
She has experienced all these.
Compared with those, now she is a fairy in the crew.
Although she is not a big star, Ji Changze, as a fan, really wants to take care of her in all aspects.
It was the first time that she felt that someone cared for her after she got out of the cold water, handed her a blanket and ginger soup.
It was the first time that she had a dedicated makeup artist, and she no longer had to sit on the floor with a portable mirror to put on makeup.
It was the first time that she could return to the lounge where she lived alone after filming, instead of squeezing with a bunch of people or taking the subway to go home.
Qin Lanqi was very grateful.
She knew that all this was given to her by Ji Changze.
Even though Ji Changze kept saying that he was willing, she couldn't just ignore these things just because he was willing.
She didn't know how to repay him, so she could only work hard to study the role, be serious when acting, and learn well when learning from opera experts.
Others in the crew also felt that Ji Changze was indeed not playing around.
It is understandable that he has the best tools for filming, after all, he is a rich second generation.
It is understandable that he has excellent food, after all, he is a rich second generation.
But every time he followed the camera, discussed with Feng Yang, discussed with the editor, and took them to fly around to shoot outdoor scenes. For a shot, he could let the whole crew take a plane to a deep mountain forest.
He also went with them.
When everyone was busy, he was also busy. When everyone was tired, he was also tired. This really didn't seem like playing.
Because of Liu Lan's incident, everyone in the crew knew that Ji Changze was rich and not easy to mess with, and he would get out if you were not good enough.
Everyone took his words as an imperial decree.
Therefore, although he was a new director during the filming, none of the artists dared not listen to what he said, and they all changed it honestly.
And after spending a long time together, they also discovered it.
What Ji Changze couldn't stand most was the kind of artists who were not serious or deliberately didn't follow the rules. He was quite tolerant in other aspects.
Once, when filming a plot, he had to shoot it 17 times, plus other things were shot in the middle, and it took two months to pass.
The girl who couldn't pass the film was so anxious that she cried, fearing that Ji Changze would despise her and kick her out. After all, she didn't have many scenes. If she was replaced, it would be much easier to replace her than Liu Lan. As a result, Ji Changze didn't get angry from beginning to end. If she couldn't pass the film, he would shoot again. If she couldn't pass the film again, he would continue shooting.
Anyway, he couldn't just be perfunctory, and he wouldn't get angry because the girl couldn't pass the film.
He looked like "I am very Buddhist".
And the person who acted opposite the girl was Qin Lanqi, who was also a big Buddhist.
Neither Qin Lanqi nor the director, who was following her in the scene, got angry, and the others were too embarrassed to say anything. In addition, every time the filming ended at night, Ji Changze would not only treat her to a late-night snack but also give him red envelopes, and everyone would No more complaints.
How did you say that?
Don’t be afraid of hard work, tiredness, or overtime.
I'm afraid I won't be paid for overtime work.
With enough money, they can swallow their complaints no matter how big they are.
On the eighteenth time, Ji Changze looked at the camera and finally stopped shouting.
He waited until it was over, then smiled and clapped his hands and said yes.
At that time, almost the entire crew cheered.
That night, the guys went out for a meal, had a lively meal, and continued filming the next day.
This kind of happy atmosphere is rarely seen in other crews, but it is undeniable that this atmosphere is very suitable for filming.
Later, when we were filming, there were very few times when everyone couldn't do anything better.
The filming was completed smoothly and when Ji Changze announced that it was over, a large number of people were still a little reluctant to leave.
After all, it is really rare for a director like this to be generous, never skimp, never get angry casually, and even treat them to this and that from time to time.
If everyone hadn't been running around and eating so well every day, it would be strange not to be fat.
Especially for some young artists.
Most of the crews they worked with before were walk-ons. Because they were young and inexperienced, they would inevitably make mistakes sometimes.
When they were in school, the teacher would say that in the outside world, everyone is not their parents, so why should they help them? It is not uncommon for them to be scolded and scolded if they meet someone with a bad temper.
But in Ji Changze's crew, as long as they are serious, even if they can't understand it for a moment, and have the courage to go to Director Ji or Director Feng, or even Qin Lanqi, who plays opposite them, they will get patient answers.
Of course, in view of Ji Changze's status as the chief director and his previous merciless drive away people, in most cases, these young artists do not dare to get along with him.
But even so, I was so scared when I was filming. A few years later, when I recall the crew, I only remember the crew and the director.
Especially the girl who took eighteen shots to pass.
Many years later, when this girl had become famous and a star with a high status in the entertainment industry, a host asked her if there was anything that had a profound impact on her during her years of filming.
She said this eighteen times without any hesitation.
"When I couldn't pass the third time, I actually panicked. After I finished talking, why was I so useless? I just couldn't express what the director wanted. Sister Qiqi obviously did a good job.
Then when I watched it for the seventh time, to be honest, I was sweating all over my back... Yes, I was anxious. I had just debuted at the time. For me, this drama was the best I could get at that time. It was a chance. I thought I was going to be scolded, but the director didn't say anything. He just said that since I was not in good condition today, I would shoot tomorrow. Then I shot three times the next day and failed again. "
The host showed a surprised expression in response: "Didn't that mean it was filmed ten times in two days?"
"Yes." Now when talking about this incident, the girl can already recall it with a smile: "After I still couldn't pass, I really panicked. When I went back to my room, I kept reading my script and facing it. I practiced in the mirror, but the next day I had too many dark circles under my eyes because of staying up late, so I couldn’t take pictures.”
Speaking of this, she herself was a bit dumbfounded by her naive self: "Later, Sister Qiqi discovered that I was not in the right state and asked me if I had stayed up late to practice. After I said yes, she has been helping me find my state. She practiced with me over and over again in private. Actually, it was said that she had done it eighteen times, but in fact, Sister Qiqi practiced with me in private at least fifty times. Even now, I am very grateful to her. Really, When you are confused and painful, there is someone who does not blame you and patiently helps you through the difficulties. I feel that I am super lucky. "
The host nodded: "No wonder you and Teacher Qin Lanqi have always had a good relationship. It turned out that the foundation was laid at that time. Are you very happy after that?"
"I was very happy. Not only me, but the entire crew was overjoyed. It felt like we had finally succeeded in overcoming the disaster. Director Ji invited us to have a big dinner that night as a celebration. What impressed me the most was, Even though I had shot it seventeen times and never passed it, no one else on the crew had ever complained, especially Director Ji. I was quite afraid of him before that. At that time, I thought he was going to replace me from the crew. As a result, he didn't criticize me from the beginning to the end, he was very happy, and he didn't show his happiness until the filming was finished."
"I was really lucky to meet Director Ji when I first joined the group."
The host asked: "You have a good personal relationship with Teacher Qin Lanqi, so did you find a chance to ask Director Ji what he thought at the beginning?"
"have."
Speaking of this, the girl's face showed a bit of laughter and laughter.
"I wondered if Director Ji was afraid that I would have an emotional breakdown, so he didn't criticize me. Later, when I asked him what he thought about that scene, he told me that the scene itself was very difficult and required the actors to suppress their emotions to the extreme, so that when they started to act, they could show the suppressed emotions to the audience. So I couldn't get through it at that time. He didn't say anything on his face, but he was actually very happy in his heart, because the more I couldn't get through it, the more I suppressed it, and the more I suppressed it, the more it would explode when it finally broke out."
"But he was afraid that I would suppress it too much and something would happen, so he specially found Sister Qiqi to help me vent. He said that in order to avoid irritating me, let alone criticizing me, he avoided me during that time."
The host was amused by her tone: "It seems that Director Ji is really smart, but it turns out that Director Ji and Teacher Qin Lanqi..."
Ji Changze didn't know that his current thoughts would be broadcast on TV several years later.
He just squatted in the room with the editor and started editing it into a film.
And outside, the promotion and marketing also began.
But their crew really didn't have any explosive points. The only topic was Liu Lan's previous departure from the crew.
Although she signed a confidentiality agreement, the confidentiality agreement only allowed her not to reveal the content of the crew's filming, but did not allow her to say anything else.
A reporter who got wind of the matter knew that she had terminated the contract with the crew and specifically asked her why she terminated the contract.
Liu Lan's answer was very official.
"It's just that the two sides disagreed. We terminated the contract peacefully. This is nothing. We will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."
Obviously, this is the standard answer given by people around her.
Why did Ji Changze know?
Because after Liu Lan said this, she said another sentence in the subsequent interview.
"I still hope to cooperate with some high-quality and serious crews. It is really important for actors to produce better works."
This sentence is fine when taken alone.
But if you look at it together with the fact that she terminated the contract with the crew, it is very different.
She wants to cooperate with some high-quality and serious crews, and she has just terminated the cooperation with a crew.
Doesn't that mean that the crew that terminated the cooperation is of low quality and does not take the filming seriously?
Liu Lan does have some fans. When she said this, the reporter did not miss such a good topic and directly put the original words in the news.
Her fans immediately began to defend Liu Lan.
"My sister really pays attention to quality and is a real actor."
"The entertainment industry needs artists like my sister who insist on quality. The more the better."
"Sister, you did a great job. We support you!"
So, before Ji Changze and his crew started to promote, they were attacked.
Feng Yang came to ask Ji Changze if he wanted to buy water army to suppress it. Ji Changze thought about it and asked him not to do it yet.
He had other things in mind.
Liu Lan regretted it at first, but when she thought about it, she was right.
What good things can be produced by a movie made by Ji Changze, an outsider.
And most importantly, the actors in this crew are a group of newcomers or people who have not played any important roles.
It is determined from the bottom that they are not good.
Ji Changze is young and I am afraid he can't suppress the people in the crew.
What good movies can be made under such circumstances.
Although what she said now might offend Ji Changze, she was not pointing her finger at Ji Changze and scolding him, so what's the big deal?
Ji Changze is an outsider, can he spend money on his own movie, and can he control her?
Liu Lan thought it through and felt relieved.
When she found out that this news was completely free-growing, no one came forward to suppress it, and the water army company did not get involved, she became more confident in her heart.
It can't even suppress it, it's over, absolutely over.
Feeling that it was stable, she paid out of her own pocket and copied this topic.
Now everyone is just eating melons, and when the movie is released and it is found that this is a terrible movie, then she would rather terminate the contract with the crew for the sake of high-quality movies, and her reputation will certainly sound good.
Fans will definitely label her as dedicated and unwilling to bow to money.
At that time, she can attract another wave of fans.
As for the Ji Changze crew that she used as a springboard to jump up?
Who cares.
People who don't work for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.
Feng Yang soon discovered that someone was behind this news, and hurried to find Ji Changze again.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Ji Changze still looked leisurely and unhurried: "Her news has been based on the fact that this is a bad movie from the beginning. The more you ignore it now, the faster it will ferment. When the movie is released, the topic brought by this news will be popular."
"But this will make some audiences reject our movie and not buy tickets in the cinema."
Ji Changze asked a soul-searching question: "If we don't let Liu Lan bring up the topic of bad movies, will there be audiences interested in watching it when it is released?"
Feng Yang: "..."
This is really a soul-searching question.
Their crew, unknown actors, unknown directors.
They have no reputation from beginning to end, and the only advantage is that they have a lot of money.
The audience is not stupid and rich, how can they just rush in?
"So, don't worry about this. If she hacks us, it will attract a group of viewers who want to see how bad we can be. Then let them watch it first. After watching it, word of mouth will spread in the Internet society. Come on, everyone knows our movies are good and they will watch them. The more she behaves like this now, the only one who will suffer in the future is herself."
Feng Yang nodded.
"What you said makes sense."
"But Director Ji, I have a question."
Ji Changze was very patient; "You ask."
“How do you make sure our movie is a good movie, or the kind of movie that gets word of mouth?”
"We are being scolded so badly now. If we don't sell many tickets when it is released, it will really be the beginning and the end. Director Ji, didn't you tell me before that you still want to make a fantasy theme? If this movie fails, it will be hard to find actors of that quality for the next movie.”
Ji Changze waved to him.
Feng Yang looked at it suspiciously for a while, but finally got closer.
Then he heard the director whisper to him with a whispering posture and volume: "Don't worry, our data is not much different."
Feng Yang: "..."
Are you so confident?
Why didn't he believe it at all?
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ji Changze simply told him directly: "My dad said that when my movie is released, he will buy tickets for employees of all the companies under his name to watch it. By then, it will be enough to save face."
Feng Yang; "..."
"...Director Ji, how many employees does your father have under his name?"
"How do I know this? I don't like going to my company, but my dad has quite a few companies. Not counting branches, there are eleven in this city, five in City C, City B..."
Ji Changze counted for a long time and finally said: "These companies are relatively large. Each company has 500 employees, plus those from branches. Do you think it's enough?"
Feng Yang: "..."
He was stunned by Ji Changze's operation.
Never imagined.
It turns out that movie box office can still be like this.
This te:'mu:'d-i is not cheating. He is simply carrying a mountain of cheats.
And the most important thing is that Guaishan is so supportive of his son.
OMG.
He used to think that Ji Changze was just a small fish who swam into the entertainment industry for fun.
Now it seems that this is not a small fish, this is simply a big whale, the kind that is escorted by its own father.
Although he had confidence in his heart, Feng Yang still said with the mentality of a small citizen; "But movie tickets are not cheap. If everyone really buys them, wouldn't it be too wasteful..."
You can't spend it like this if you have money.
"It's okay, the holidays are coming soon. My dad said that we had to give gifts to the employees. All we need to do is exchange the same amount of gifts for movie tickets, and we will divide the box office among ourselves. It's almost like putting it in the left pocket and putting it in the right pocket. No loss. ”
Feng Yang: "..."
Sure enough, if you are rich to this extent, you will definitely not lose money foolishly.
This is when one's own money is transferred from the left hand to the right hand.
Just deducting a little money, you can get a good box office.
high! !
As expected of a rich man.
It really makes sense that he hasn't gotten rich yet.
Feng Yang felt relieved knowing that the data of this movie would not be too ugly.
He and Ji Changze cooperated happily, and he was already tied to Ji Changze's boat. Knowing that Ji Changze had a backup plan, he could feel at ease.
The day the movie was released.
Feng Yang didn't dare to go to the premiere. After all, he had put in all his hard work and energy. He really didn't dare to face it.
That day, he turned off the internet and electricity and slept at home all day.
Then I went into retreat and started drawing storyboards, trying to learn a little more.
When I turned on my phone the next day, there were over fifty missed calls.
Feng Yang: "..."
It's over, it's over, so many people are looking for him.
This movie can't really be that miserable.
It shouldn't be, they are obviously very serious.
He was so dejected that he didn't dare to look.
Then open the Internet and try to read reviews about this movie on the Internet.
As you can see, there are rows of long comments, and of course there are also short comments.
"It looks so good that I cried!!!"
“Oh my god, I originally thought this was a trashy movie that relied on pretty girls to attract men, but after watching it, I almost cried blindly. This movie is so good and powerful! !”
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Cathay is safe, I have never felt how happy I am to live in a safe world."
Feng Yang: "..."
Navy?
A phone call came in.
He answered.
"Director Feng!! Our movie was a big hit!!"
