Chapter 300 The dry and wet separation that was not used in time
"Director Xu, in terms of time, it shouldn't be a problem. If you're pretending, it shouldn't take that long to touch up the makeup."
Lecheng, the scene of the opening ceremony of "The Beginning".
The show's opening ceremony was quite simple, and no other media was invited.
Otherwise, it is just news that Xu Kong and Song Youyou are dating, and the popularity will probably not be low.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with me here."
The starring role of Xu Kong is indeed quite special.
As a screenwriter and director, for a drama like this, Xu Kong will definitely have a greater say in the crew than Su Meng.
But since the other party is the director, Xu Kong doesn't intend to control the whole process.
Intervention will only occur when necessary.
……
"The Beginning" and "The Hidden Corner" both started shooting on the same day.
Lecheng is actually not a particularly famous city in China.
However, comparing all aspects, there are indeed a few that can match the simultaneous shooting of two dramas.
For Xu Kong, the follow-up will definitely involve running back and forth between the two crews.
Fortunately, he did not star in "The Hidden Corner" this time, but only acted as the director.
At least when it comes to makeup, you don’t have to go back and forth to change it.
Fortunately, the male protagonist's outfit in "The Beginning" is relatively normal, no different from the casual clothes he usually wears, so there is no problem in wearing it directly to the set of "The Hidden Corner".
……
"Brother Xu Kong, why are we not in the same hotel..."
For Song Youyou, filming with Xu Kong is indeed good news.
This process is also relatively happy for her.
She subconsciously felt that she and Xu Kong could stay together like they did when they were filming Fairy Sword.
Who knows, something seems different this time.
Although Xu Kong is also the male protagonist of "The Beginning", he usually spends more time on the crew of "The Hidden Corner".
Although the two dramas were filmed in the same city.
But the current studio is still a little far away.
Therefore, the hotel where Xu Kong stayed was not with the staff of the "Beginning" crew.
……
"It's okay, I have a room here too..."
Xu Kong immediately spoke to comfort him.
Youyou didn't react at the first time.
"The crew didn't book your room..."
Before she finished speaking, she realized that Xu Kong was talking about her big bed room.
No wonder the crew specially chose a large room with two beds when they arranged it for her.
Now it seems that Xu Kong has probably made such preparations a long time ago.
Under the influence of Xu Kong, now Youyou also knows the importance of dry and wet separation.
Indeed, this is quite important and is a completely different experience.
Of course, what Youyou doesn't know is why Xu Kong attaches so much importance to this aspect.
It's entirely because of Su Zhi.
Xu Kong had to take this into account habitually due to Shui Wa's physique.
Otherwise, although it is actually a little more troublesome for Youyou, it is not impossible to sleep with a blanket or something.
……
"There should be no problem on my side."
“But as a young actor, it’s better to have some psychological guidance.”
Chen Shuang has read the script of "The Hidden Corner" countless times at this time.
Chen Dongsheng, who he plays, is indeed the male lead without any controversy.
But in addition, the three young actors also have a lot of roles.
In his opinion, the role of young actors is the biggest problem Xu Kong currently faces.
However, judging from the previous contacts, although he is young, in terms of professionalism, he is much higher than some young freshmen he has encountered in the past.
It’s just that I still don’t have much acting experience.
It is estimated that director Xu Kong will be needed to guide the follow-up.
In addition to the subject matter of this drama, Xu Kong still needs to be reminded a little about the physical and mental health of the young actor.
"The crew has hired professional psychologists who will provide them with relevant guidance regularly."
Xu Kong replied calmly.
The drama "The Hidden Corner" was also a phenomenon in its previous life.
Moreover, the three young actors who starred in it later successfully entered the entertainment industry.
The important thing is that Xu Kong went to watch the interviews and documentaries related to this drama.
So knowing a psychiatrist is definitely essential.
On the one hand, it is not to let the younger actors have any psychological shadow. At the same time, it is also on guard against some media and marketing accounts that deliberately seek trouble.
In fact, there is a big difference between the shooting atmosphere on the set and the actual final film.
Many of the scenes that look a bit spooky are actually filled with staff, so they might actually be more relaxed and enjoyable.
However, a group of middle-aged actors, such as Chen Shuang in the drama, are indeed very oppressive when acting.
If a young actor wants to catch the scene, it will probably take a lot of effort.
……
In this way, the two dramas officially entered the normal filming process at almost the same time.
Xu Kong often ran between the two crews.
"The Beginning" seems to be only responsible for playing the male lead, but many times, Xu Kong does need to adjust the specific shooting methods from time to time.
After all, Su Meng had only read the script and storyboards, and only Xu Kong knew what kind of effects the original film needed.
Su Meng himself didn't have much opinion. The main reason was that Xu Kong had intervened several times. The final effect was indeed more perfect.
Although Xu Kong is much younger than her, Su Meng himself is convinced.
In addition, most of the scenes in "The Beginning" are actually concentrated on the bus, so the filming progress can be described as quite rapid.
The original plan was for a shooting cycle of about two months, but based on the current progress, Su Meng thinks that the filming can be completed in just over a month.
The progress of "The Hidden Corner" is also not slow.
Mainly Chen Shuang, a group of veteran actors, often only need Xu Kong to say his request once, and he can do it perfectly.
The number of ng can be described as quite few.
Most of the scenes happened smoothly in one go.
What Xu Kong needs to put more thought into are the three main young actors in the play.
As for the young actors, Zhu Chaoyang, who has the most roles, was signed by Feng Ge before and is only fifteen years old now.
Although his talent is not at a very surprising level, his understanding is indeed very high.
Although many scenes need to be filmed several times, very obvious progress can be seen every time.
Overall, the filming progress was even faster than Xu Kong imagined.
……
"Director Xu's pace is really fast, and I almost couldn't get used to it." On the set of "The Hidden Corner", actor Wu Honghui, who plays Zhu Yongping, Zhu Chaoyang's father, said.
Strictly speaking, his qualifications are similar to those of the best actor Chen Shuang.
Both of them debuted at almost the same time.
However, Chen Shuang is one of those talented actors. He played the absolute leading male role in his first film, and subsequently won the best actor award at one of the three major Western film festivals abroad.
Wu Honghui's career as an actor was a bit bumpy.
Almost all the way, he played various supporting roles, and they were all in TV series. Although he won the Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actor.
But overall, it is indeed a highlight moment that is not so popular.
However, I have never been short of acting in these years.
The reason why I agreed to star this time was because Chen Shuang, an old friend, was the matchmaker.
At the same time, Wu Honghui also signed a new management contract with Feng Ge from the original free agent.
He didn't care about this, mainly because when he was young, he had some thoughts about sudden fires.
Read the original text in Liu#9@书/吧!
But now that I am over 40 years old and have been acting for so many years, I know that I don’t have anything in my life and I will no longer deliberately pursue it.
……
"No, this time the pace is faster than when I was filming "The Long Season"..."
Chen Shuang couldn't help but sigh.
It was indeed him who told Wu Honghui that Xu Kong's filming style was one that focused on high efficiency.
It seems that the entire drama has been imprinted on the mind of director Xu Kong early on.
Therefore, Xu Kong knew exactly what to shoot every day and what kind of film effect he wanted.
All they need as actors is to quickly keep up with Xu Kong's shooting rhythm.
Xu Kong has a very precise plan, and in the process of coordinating the entire crew, everyone seems to be in a hurry.
But you don't need to think about what you should do next, the other party will arrange it very efficiently.
If the two of them weren't really good at acting, they would rarely fail to pass a scene during filming. It would be hard to keep up with Xu Kong's rhythm.
But even if you can keep up, you will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately for Chen Shuang, he had experienced it once before while filming "The Long Season", but Wu Honghui was indeed a little surprised.
……
"I feel that maybe Director Xu doesn't have to act this time, but it will be more efficient."
Chen Shuang guessed and said something.
At the time of "The Long Season", although Xu Kong didn't have many roles, he was also one of the actors participating.
So in addition to directing work, you also need to act in person all the time.
But this time, Xu Kong had almost no other interference and concentrated on his job as a director.
"I think it's just that the planned shooting period has been shortened..."
"After all, Director Xu also found time to act in another drama at the same time."
"And he seems to be the male lead."
Wu Honghui told the truth.
This project is really in a hurry.
Because Xu Kong just wanted to be broadcast at the same time as the new drama from Changyun Film and Television, so he wanted to snipe at the other party.
Otherwise, it can be filmed slowly and leisurely like in "The Long Season".
Yes, in the eyes of the best actor Chen Shuang, the shooting was already very efficient, but for Xu Kong, it was already a slow shooting without any pressure.
……
Here in "The Hidden Corner", several veteran actors often discuss Xu Kong's filming style in private.
On the other side, from the crew of "The Beginning", Su Meng worked with Xu Kong for the first time.
He is the director, and the other person is not only the leading male lead, but also the screenwriter, executive producer, and one of the big bosses of the company.
I would have thought that the filming period would be very stressful.
But it wasn’t until some time after the official filming started that I suddenly realized it.
Damn it, this shot was too smooth, right? ! !
I have never been so comfortable shooting before.
With Xu Kong controlling the scene as the male protagonist, there is almost no need to worry about the actor's acting skills.
The level of acting skills and professionalism that Xu Kong displayed throughout the whole process is definitely not comparable to that of some actors of the same age group.
Even some of the young actors Su Meng met before were praised by the media for their acting skills every day, but the actual performance was really difficult to grasp at a glance.
And it can be seen that Song Youyou is a talented actor.
After stepping into the role, you can enter the scene almost in minutes, as if you are the character in the play.
As for Xu Kong, although his performance also seems to have no too many skills at all, his expressions, movements, and lines are all very natural.
It's nothing more than blending into the character.
But if you look closely, you can find that Xu Kong is indeed much more experienced in acting than Song Youyou.
……
Of course, what Su Meng didn't know was that in Xu Kong's previous life, his acting skills were slowly honed one after another.
Because of a problem with my voice, I had to undergo a transformation.
With low talent, Xu Kong finally managed to successfully transform, and Xu Kong put in a lot of hard work.
After time travel, while the original performance experience and skills are still there, this body has very good conditions for performance, especially in terms of expression and body.
Combining the two, for Xu Kong, playing a character like Xiao Heyun, the male protagonist in "The Beginning", is as easy as child's play.
……
"Director Su, I think this scene needs another one..."
"What do you think?"
Su Meng had long been used to asking Xu Kong such polite questions.
Although Xu Kong's actual power over the crew is definitely greater than hers, it is obvious that Xu Kong does not want to completely replace himself as director.
And she also deliberately maintained her authority as a director on the crew.
Every time I have an idea, I say it in a questioning tone.
That’s enough face.
"I think so too, so here's another one."
Su Meng took Xu Kong's suggestion without any hesitation.
At the beginning, she did have doubts, but after seeing the comparison of the finished films, Su Meng was completely convinced.
Xu Kong is no amateur.
In addition to his various roles in the crew of "The Beginning", he himself is a very good director.
……
"Brother Xu Kong, I'm so tired from filming..."
After filming the last scene in the afternoon, Xu Kong was already used to hearing Song Youyou's coquettishness.
It's definitely tiring. After all, the current shooting intensity is not low. What's more, Youyou itself has taken a break from filming for almost a year, so it takes some time to adapt.
But apart from that, more importantly, Song Youyou wanted Xu Kong to stay with her.
He is indeed a little busy during this period. Every time he finishes filming a scene in "The Beginning", he needs to rush back to the hotel on the other side.
Sometimes it is about continuing to shoot "The Hidden Corner", and sometimes it is about the crew of "Operation Red Sea" or "Squidward Game".
So although I made preparations for dry and wet separation in advance, I never had time to use it.
