There was a brief silence.
“Isn’t this not good?” Lu Yanhe was the first to object.
Chen Siqi nodded: "I don't think it's good either, but this is one of the feasible options at the operational level, so I put it forward."
"The key is, since this person can send anonymous information Send it to me and Director An room, indicating that this person must be on the set. The use of a pseudonym can be hidden from outsiders, but not from the people on the set. If he sees Director An still directing on the set, who knows what he will think. What will you do?" Xin Pingqing said.
“Then there are a few options now. Either, the production of this drama will be delayed for three days, and we will find a director who can come to the rescue as soon as possible, familiar with the relevant situation in the shortest time, and direct this drama. , we paused the production and waited for Yan He to finish filming "The Immortal" "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", we will find time to re-shoot it. Of course, there is also an option to let the assistant director of this drama take over. In any case, he knows very well what we want to make this drama look like in the early stage, so it can be saved. It takes a lot of time to adjust.”
"We only have one week to shoot this drama. Even if you find a new director, you won't have time to adjust."
A few people were silent for a while.
Lu Yanhe smiled awkwardly and said, "Why does it sound like I am the most suitable choice to take over as director?"
This is the only choice for him. The problem lies with himself. .
He is very familiar with the script, and also knows the entire crew's design of this drama and what effect it wants to achieve.
"One more thing, ask the screenwriter to be the director and let the assistant director cooperate." Hu Siwei suddenly put forward his suggestion.
Everyone was stunned.
But at the same time, "this approach may be feasible" popped into everyone's mind.
Although not every screenwriter is suitable to be a director, screenwriters and directors are the same family. In an emergency like this, if one person is needed to direct, the screenwriter is the one who knows the script best.
"Yan He, maybe you will be needed to make the final decision and coordinate." Hu Siwei said, "The screenwriter knows the script best, and the assistant director is the most familiar with the scene. If they can cooperate well without fighting, then it will be okay. It’s easy to say, if there is a conflict of opinions, you need to be the Dinghaishenzhen.”
Chen Siqi immediately shook his head and said: "Then we cannot let Yan He play the role of this villain."
Xin Pingqing: "But, in this case, only Yan He can restrain the two of them."< br>
"You are a production assistant and represent us, Linghe. Of course you can also suppress them." Chen Siqi said, "If Yan He plays the role of a villain in the crew, and if some dissatisfied complaints are spread later, what will happen if people on the Internet start to hype it up? Yan He plays a big role in the crew, directs other actors to act, interferes with other people's scenes, etc. "How many of the people in the crew of "Silent Stairs" are good people?"
Everyone was silent.
This is indeed a problem.
Xin Pingqing: "The main reason is that I don't understand the production of drama series."
"Brother Si Si, you have to take action personally." Chen Siqi said, "In this case, I have to trouble you to guard the set this week , help Ping Qing manage the crew."
Hu Siwei: "..."
Although Hu Siwei has never been a director, his rich experience in project development is rare in the industry. People can compare with it.
In terms of familiarity with the crew and handling of interpersonal relationships, Hu Siwei can be said to be one of the top people Lu Yanhe knows.
"I'm quite willing to do this. However, when it comes to creative direction and aesthetic judgment, am I the one who has to make the decision? The director's job really isn't just a matter of three cobblers doing Zhuge Liang's job. It just depends on a few people. Together, we can get a safe and sound effect," Hu Siwei said.
Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously and said: "This is too bad. A drama was shot in seven days. The screenwriter, deputy director, producer, brother Siwei, and I have opinions to fight with each other. It is inevitable. Even if we all want to do the best for the show, differences of opinion will definitely lead to problems between us. In the end, it is very likely that the show will not be filmed. If we force it to be filmed, it will be completely different. "
Lu Yanhe’s words silenced everyone again.
Chen Siqi: "That really doesn't work, we should pay the liquidated damages and postpone the filming."
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath and asked: "Alternatives that can come to the rescue. Is the list of directors listed? ”
"Not yet."
"Okay, let me go and communicate with Wang Biao first to see when I have to leave at the latest and how many days I can try. Brother Siwei, you should also agree. Qing Qingqing, let’s first tally up the situation of the crew. Whether the start-up is delayed for three days, five days or several months, we need to coordinate everyone’s time. In addition, Director An Jian can no longer be our director, we have to have a Everyone should agree on the statement."
Everyone nodded.
“After we have figured out all these situations, we will make a decision. If we can’t find a suitable director, then I will direct it and rush the ducks to get it on the shelves. Compensation for liquidated damages is second. Let’s jump up to the theater. The current situation is very good. "Silent Stairs" is about to be released as the most important work in the near future. If there are some problems, It will affect the industry's view of Jump Up Theater. I'm just afraid of being ruined in the end." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Let's watch it in the end. If the edited film can't pass my level, it will be re-shot or something. "
In fact, everyone knows that Lu Yanhe is the safest choice to take over as director.
Although Lu Yanhe himself believed that he could not transform into a director's perspective to view the drama in a short time and could not produce a good film. However, from other people's perspective, with Lu Yanhe's many years of acting experience and the fact that he once directed "Love Letter", if he takes over, the entire crew will complete the handover of the director as quickly as possible without any turmoil.
-
Early the next morning, all the creative staff of "Silent Stairs" received a notice. Director An Jian was rushed to the hospital for treatment yesterday due to a sudden illness. Today's filming was temporarily Cancellation, the crew is on standby, please do not spread relevant news to prevent people on the Internet from deliberately hyping or fabricating rumors.
In the crew, everyone was talking a lot.
Two hours later, Xin Pingqing summoned the entire crew for a meeting.
The crew will start filming as usual in the afternoon, with Chen Yu taking over as director and Lu Yanhe as art director.
-
“Chen Yu?”
“Who is Chen Yu?”
“I don’t know where it comes from.”
...
As soon as the news was announced, it caused intense discussion among the crew.
The main reason is... the name Chen Yu is too unfamiliar.
He was not in the original crew.
Of course, among the powerful crew, there will always be a powerful gossip master.
Soon, Chen Yu's situation was discovered.
"Director Liu Zhijiang's student?"
"The person who co-directed with Liu Zhijiang before."
"How come he was found to replace director An Jian? ”
“It is said that Director An Jian’s illness was so urgent that he almost went to the ICU. ”
"Here, what's wrong with him? Why is he so exaggerated?"
"But just ask Chen Yu to direct, why did you give Lu Yanhe the title of art director?"
>"Are you stupid? What is an art director? It means that if Lu Yanhe has any opinions on the filming of this drama, he can use this title to criticize "
"Huh? Isn't director Chen Yu just a puppet? Why doesn't Lu Yanhe just become the director himself? "
"Who knows? How much investment does our play have? Lu Yanhe is a film director, how could he direct such a small TV series?”
"He's here to star. Why are you belittling yourself so much?"
"He's here to star in order to support Jump Up Theater. Do you think he would have come to take on this drama if it wasn't for this reason?" ”
"But, if you look at the previous dramas, aren't they all quite popular? Huaiqian became famous overnight, and "The Intern" is about to develop a sequel."
"Do you think Lu Yanhe lacks these?"
……
These discussions in the crew were very popular.
Chen Yu rushed to the crew at 12:30 noon.
He did not expect that he would give it a try and interview the director of Jump Up Theater. As a result, not only did he get the invitation, but he also got the chance to take on "The Silent Staircase". 》The director of this drama!
Firefighting? Rescue? Stressed out?
He doesn't care about that.
As a young and energetic director, when he received the call, only two words came to mind: opportunity!
He immediately called his teacher Liu Zhijiang.
After Liu Zhijiang heard that Chen Yu was filming "The Silent Staircase" starring Lu Yanhe, he did not say for a moment that putting out fires was not that easy for a director.
Liu Zhijiang himself is a senior director in the industry, and he knows very well what kind of opportunity such a drama means for a young director like Chen Yu.
By analogy, it may be like how the play directed by Luo Yuzhong was to the fledgling Lu Yanhe.
"Teacher, am I going to become famous? After I finish filming this drama, will projects on various platforms come to me as a director in the future?" Chen Yu said on the phone like a fool who has a happy event coming from heaven. The other end giggled.
Liu Zhijiang was speechless again for a while.
Forget it, let him mess with this idiot.
"Don't embarrass me! If you mess up, I will be the first to expel you from the school. Don't say that I am your teacher outside in the future."
That's it for Chen Yu Came high-spirited and gearing up.
On the urgent flight over, he first read the script and the afternoon shooting notice.
After arriving at the scene, he met Xin Pingqing directly, and then met with the assistant director and the filming team.
"Being ordered in the face of danger, the pressure is huge, I need you to take care of me!" Chen Yu cupped his hands and clasped his fists. Xin Pingqing was originally worried. Chen Siqi and the others chose Chen Yu. He was young and grew up under the wings of a great director. He was probably arrogant and not an easy person to deal with. Unexpectedly, people seemed to think the same thing about him. Not quite the same.
After people came to the crew, the first thing they did was to say hello and get familiar with these real backbones on the set, instead of looking for Lu Yanhe and the others——
Many young directors have to go through a "severe beating" on set before they know who they really want to win over first.
Xin Pingqing thought again of Chen Siqi's evaluation of Chen Yu before the meeting ended early yesterday morning: "He has experienced several big projects, and he is an experienced director who has been truly trained and practiced by his teacher. What he needs now is An opportunity to direct independently allows the industry to truly see his personal ability and value. Therefore, if he were to direct this drama, he would work hard to make it a success. Contact and understanding of his His personality and style can integrate into our crew as quickly as possible."
-
"It's a bit risky." Chen Siqi was not as strong as in the meeting last night with Lu Yanhe. , directly admitted his uneasiness, "Originally, we were looking for Chen Yu to film another movie."
Lu Yanhe: "It's okay, Chen Yu is our best choice at the moment."
< br>
Chen Siqi: "That's what I said, but it will inevitably make people worried. Well, I'll be there in the afternoon. I hope everything goes well for you on set."
Lu Yanhe: "Why are you still here? Isn't everything about the director already done? Has it been resolved?”
“The anonymous letter matter has not been resolved yet” Chen Si. Qi said, "I have to find this person out. Although you all say that this person is targeting Director An Jian, what if he is not? What if this person just wants to do something to make our show uneasy and mess up , maybe there will be something else going on later.”
Lu Yanhe didn’t expect Chen Siqi to say that.
However, when I thought about it, what Chen Siqi said was not unreasonable.
The director's problem has been solved, but the person who sent the anonymous letter is most likely still on the crew.
-
Before shooting the first scene in the afternoon, Chen Yu summoned all the actors for a meeting and introduced himself.
“In the early stage, Director An Jian led everyone to prepare for this play. However, he suddenly had some health problems and could not continue directing, so he asked me to come over.”
Chen Yu said: "You are all teachers with superb acting skills. , I have read the information of all the teachers on the way here, and I admire them very much. Of course, although everyone looks at me as very young, I am indeed very young - I mean, you may be worried, Do I have the ability to be a good director?"
"Let me introduce to you, my teacher is Liu Zhijiang. In the past few years, I have been following my teacher's projects as his assistant director. In the last film, I became a co-director. And, actually, before joining our crew, I have signed a contract with Jump Up Theater to direct another play."
When Chen Yu said this, Zhang Yuan and Peng Yufen, the more senior actors, seemed a little surprised. I didn't expect it.
Lu Yanhe stood at the edge and nodded calmly.
He must definitely express his support for Chen Yu.
“Of course, I do still have a lot to learn. I dare not say that I am already a hexagon warrior and perfect.” Chen Yu said with a smile, “Let’s film this drama together. , all have a common goal, which is to film this drama well and make it a success. It is a masterpiece for each of us. How well I can make this drama within my capabilities depends on how much everyone cooperates with me, supports me, and believes in me, because I will go all out, so I I hope we can work together to form a synergy instead of becoming resistance to each other.”
Lu Yanhe took the lead in applauding.
Others were still a little doubtful, but when they saw Lu Yanhe like this, they started to applaud.
-
Fortunately, this drama is entirely a literary drama.
Moreover, except for Lu Yanhe, the other actors had already rehearsed in the early stage and were very familiar with each other. There were basically no low-level mistakes on the scene.
After Chen Yu finished shooting a scene, he smiled and joked, "The teachers are so familiar with their characters. I feel like anyone can be the director. All you have to do is sit here and shout." ."
His words made everyone laugh.
The scene just now was indeed well performed, Lu Yanhe thought so. Although it was just a very ordinary cutscene, everyone was very familiar with the content of their performance. Even though he had only performed the scene once, Lu Yanhe actually had a tacit understanding as if he had performed the scene with them several times.
Everything he throws out gets a reaction.
No wonder Chen Yu said this.
"Let's make one more guarantee." Chen Yu said, "Teacher Zhang, when you came out just now, let's try it. Say a word first and then come out of the room, okay? Let's take a look at the two versions, which one is better? Highlight the arrogance and arrogance of your character."
After Chen Yu finished speaking, Lu Yanhe's eyes changed when he looked at Chen Yu.
Sometimes, whether a person understands opera or not can be determined in just one sentence.
Why did Lu Yanhe say before that he was already familiar with watching this drama from his character's perspective? Director is another perspective.
Here is a very typical one——
Director's perspective.
And Zhang Yuan's expression also changed in an instant.
A good actor may not be able to prepare for a role in all aspects, but if he fails to react when prompted by others, it at least means that he is an actor with less sensitive reactions.
-
On the way from the train station to the set, Chen Siqi kept thinking in his mind, what if Chen Yu cannot convince the public?
Even though she seemed very strong in the online video last night, she couldn't help but be categorical when recommending Chen Yu, as if she was sure that he would be able to do it.
This is just a truth she has learned since working.
The truth is, no matter how sure you are about a decision, when it comes out of your mouth, you must be 100% sure.
Once you take a breath, others will follow.
To say what she thinks, she really has no idea.
Chen Siqi had already prepared for the worst. However, when she arrived at the shooting scene, she found that the situation at the scene was not as bad as she had imagined. It was even quite orderly and happy?
"Chen Yu will become a great director." This is what Lu Yanhe told her.
This surprised Chen Siqi.
Why is it that on the first day, Lu Yanhe praises Chen Yu so highly?
This made Chen Siqi put aside his main purpose of coming to the crew and couldn't help but observe Chen Yu curiously.
"When he came to us for an interview, he was liked by many of us." Chen Siqi said, "Actually, there is no need for a major student like him to come to our Jump Up Theater. His teacher will definitely help him in the future. It was all laid out, and we asked him the same question. He didn’t say those vain words, and he admitted generously that he got it from his teacher. He has received too much guidance and opportunities, but he also wants to see what he can achieve without his teacher."
Lu Yanhe: "Then after he came to the crew, he was not as good as you said. Humbly, in front of everyone, he gave a speech that he was fully capable of leading everyone to film this drama, and he also mentioned unabashedly that he was Liu Director Zhijiang's student... Of course, what he did had an immediate effect, and many people on the crew stopped showing contempt for him."
"When you go out, you give yourself your identity." Chen Siqi smiled and said, "Looking at the atmosphere at the scene, he seems to have done a pretty good job as a director?"
"More than good." Lu Yan He said, "He knows drama very well, and every time he gives guidance, people are convinced. The actors in this drama are very ruthless, and he can point out their problems to the point, and make them willing to listen to him." , he is very awesome."
Chen Siqi: "Really or not? You are not trying to comfort me, are you?"
"Really." Lu Yanhe said, "You have a good sense in choosing directors."
Chen Siqi: "That's good."
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm really worried about what if Chen Yu can't handle the crew."
"You gave me the title of art director, isn't it just to prevent this situation from happening? , at least I’m here to tell the truth?” Lu Yanhe laughed.
Chen Siqi: "Yes, fortunately you are here."
-
Chen Siqi's appearance made the crew start talking again.
Mainly discussing her sudden intention to come.
At the end of the day today, too many things happened on the set. It's just very magical and inexplicable that despite such changes, the show was still able to start production normally and start filming smoothly.
However, when everyone came back to their senses after finishing their work, they still realized that something was more or less not right.
Director An Jian was obviously fine yesterday and didn't show any abnormality, so why did he suddenly become sick when he said he was sick?
And in such a short time, a director came to the rescue.
In addition, this afternoon, Chen Siqi suddenly appeared on the set -
Even though many people said that Chen Siqi was actually here to visit Lu Yanhe.
Are you really here to visit?
On the first day of filming, the filming was officially started in the afternoon. Chen Siqi hurried to the crew at this time and came directly to the scene...
In fact, there is nothing strange about this.
But Chen Siqi is not only Lu Yanhe’s girlfriend, but also the chief planner and initiator of Jump Up Theatre. Coupled with the changes that have taken place in the crew today, when these things are added together, everyone can’t help but think about it.
In the end, the most critical point is actually to change the director.
Is Director An Jian really sick?
That night, several members of the crew came to ask Xin Pingqing which hospital Director An Jian was in. They wanted to go there and visit.
Xin Pingqing can only deal with them. Director An Jian has already gone to the hospital in Shanghai and Hangzhou, which is not nearby. After the drama is completed, he will visit on behalf of the whole crew.
This kind of rhetoric makes everyone even more confused.
All kinds of suspicions and gossips are flying among each other.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi had dinner together and took a walk outside. Finally, they had time to discuss An Jian's affairs seriously.
Whether An Jian's story is true or false, I actually didn't have time to delve into it yesterday.
Everyone can only assume that his matter will have an impact and discuss solutions based on his withdrawal from the project. Time is urgent and no one has time to care about the authenticity of An Jian's matter.
“But we can’t stop cooperating with Director An at all just because of this incident.” Chen Siqi said, “Actually, his behavior in this matter makes me take another look at him. I didn't hide it, I immediately offered to quit the crew to avoid affecting the crew's filming and future broadcasts. Based on this behavior alone, I am very willing to cooperate with a responsible director like him."
"Yes, I am too," Lu Yanhe said, "But if the anonymous letter issue is not resolved, it will be a time bomb. , as you said, we must find out who sent the anonymous letter.”
