The crew and director Wu Jingyuan just wanted everyone to call it a day when Zhang Yuan called them to stop.
At this moment, the props were packed into boxes, and the lighting engineer was about to pull out the wires, but was interrupted.
Get off work at 5:30, and the boss calls for a meeting at 5:29. This is how they feel now.
Director Wu is also worried.
He is not Cai Yinong, nor Li Guoli, nor the company boss.
Although he carries the title of director, in the final analysis, he is just a happy wage earner.
Since you are working part-time, who doesn’t want to get off work early?
He glanced at Zhang Yuan, and then sighed softly.
If it had been any other actor, he would have been too lazy to answer and would have just excused himself.
But this is different since Zhang Yuan said it.
He's the hero, he's the investor... Okay.
“What’s the matter?”
“There was something wrong with the scene just now.” Zhang Yuan walked up and sat next to the director.
“What’s the problem?”
Zhang Yuan moved closer and planned to chat with him slowly.
"That's it."
"The death of Lin Yueruxiang in the Demon Locking Tower should be a major tear point in the entire "Legend of Sword and Fairy" story, and it is also a turning point, right? .”
Director Wu nodded in agreement.
“Since it is so important, this scene must be full of emotions, so that the audience can personally feel the sadness and pain of the character’s sacrifice.”
“But look at what Lin Yueru said just before his death. Lines..."
"Xiaoyao, goodbye."
"Isn't the impact of this line not enough?"
Director Wu raised his eyebrows and said melancholy.
“It’s no problem.”
“These are all standard lines.”
"Then let me ask you, will the audience cry with your lines?"
Zhang Yuanzheng was arguing with the director, and the staff on the side were shaking their legs and looking at them impatiently.
“Tsk, it’s the most annoying thing for actors to change their lines on the spot.”
“Can a director write half-baked lines?”
“That’s right, besides, how else can I change it? , they were all shot in a big studio. He was tired and I was tired.”
"He is deliberately looking for trouble, right? Just say whether to shoot or not."
They are all workers, so of course they have emotions.
Not to mention these staff members, even An Yixuan, who was co-starring in the scene, and Liu Pinyan, who was a temporary double for Liu Qianqian, were squatting with their chins in their hands, looking at Zhang Yuan's back with a hint of helplessness.
"If you don't let me get off work, I will announce that the anti-Zhang Yuan alliance will take action." Liu Pinyan said angrily.
An Yixuan was also a little bored, but after listening to music in the middle of the night last time, she didn't understand that Zhang Yuan must have his reasons for doing this.
Therefore, I did not agree with Liu Pinyan's words.
On Director Wu's side, he was listening carefully to Zhang Yuan's opinions.
“According to the content of the script, before bravely breaking into the Demon Locking Tower, Li Xiaoyao had already made a private life-long commitment with Lin Yueru, and there was even a kiss scene, right.”
“The two of them were even more passionate. We have made a promise to eat and play until we grow old, and plan to support each other throughout our lives and make our way in the world. It is very romantic.”
This content is not original to the TV series, but is included in the game itself.
As the saying goes, "The sweeter the sugar, the harder the knife." Yao Zhuangxian, the game producer, knows this well.
Speaking of which, Li Xiaoyao in the game is actually Yao Zhuangxian’s fantasy self.
He is an otaku himself, so he imagined such a naughty young knight.
The source of Zhao Ling'er's image is the goddess in his dreams when he was a student.
Lin Yueru’s prototype is a very beautiful female colleague in the company.
As an otaku, Yao Zhuangxian stands out in two words: boring.
Zhang Yuan thought, if Yao Zhuangxian looked like Peng Yuyan, he would never be able to write a story like "The Fairy Sword".
Because human beings are always making up for their shortcomings when they were young. If he has Peng Yuyan's appearance, he will not lack the white moonlight and the red goddess.
What Yao Zhuangxian lacked, he found in the games he made.
In the game, in the plot of the Demon Locking Tower, Lin Yueru was even more considerate and said that the three of them would live together and never be separated again.
Li Xiaoyao enjoys the blessings of everyone, this ending is too beautiful, and then... Kucha made a sound, one of the two beauties died and the other was injured, which made the game players of the year go crazy!
“Since we have made an agreement to eat and play until we grow old, I think the lines can be changed like this.”
“Originally, Lin Yueru just cried and said goodbye, saying, Xiaoyao, goodbye . ”
“It’s better to say, smiling with tears, so I’m already so old.”
After hearing this, Director Wu frowned and didn’t react for a while.
"So I'm already so old..."
I'm going to die, what does it have to do with getting older... Thinking of this, Director Wu suddenly had an idea in his mind.
“Eat until you grow old, play until you grow old.”
“She still kept this agreement before she died, so she didn’t feel sorry for herself, she just felt that the time she spent with him was too little. .”
“Okay!”
After Director Wu figured it out, he immediately discovered that this line was the finishing touch.
"If you change it like this, the audience will definitely cry!"
Director Wu was so excited that his passion that had been diluted by get off work was rekindled. Get the idea and turn it into reality, shoot it and see the effect.
Any director has artistic pursuits.
The film is their work, even the children.
Can you not be excited when you see your child’s hope of progress?
"Then let's repeat this sentence again."
But at this time, Zhang Yuan interrupted again.
Wu Dao thought to himself.
You are the one who wants to reshoot, and you are the one who calls for a stop now.
What are you going to do?
Zhang Yuan felt the countless murderous auras coming from all directions, belonging to the workers waiting to get off work.
He understood that forcing the filming to start now would definitely make everyone feel bad.
So, he stood up straight, clapped his hands at the same time, and said loudly.
“Everyone has been working hard recently, so Director Wu and I decided to treat everyone to a meal.”
"Don't collect your things yet, let's go to the restaurant now."
After hearing this, everyone who had just frowned and scolded Zhang Yuan's eight generations of ancestors in their hearts changed their attitude, and the whole audience cheered. .
“Good!”
“The director is awesome!”
“Li Xiaoyao is awesome!”
Zhang Yuan found a big stone and stood on a high place. He waved his big hand and patted his chest: "Master Li will pay for all tonight's consumption!"
Distressed, worried, disgusted, hateful?
These emotions were swept away, and they all went back to work shoulder to shoulder.
In fact, it is that simple to beat workers, and little things can make them feel better.
But some bosses don’t want their employees to be happy.
The cows and horses have to eat grass first to work, and the donkeys have to be given corn sticks to grind them, but when they come to people, all they have left is a whip?
"Zhang Yuan, please have a meal..." Director Wu looked embarrassed.
You suddenly decided like this, where should I apply for funding.
"It's okay, I told you, I'll pay the bill."
"I've been working for so long, so I should treat everyone to a meal."
Director Wu glanced at the hundred or so permanent staff members on the crew. If they had to eat a good meal, none of them would cost more than ten thousand yuan.
He is really grand.
"But you have to help me for a while. Don't let everyone drink and work."
"Understood."
There are many restaurants in Hengdian. After arriving at the hotel, , wrap the next layer directly.
According to the standard of one thousand and two tables, ten tables came.
This meal plan may be difficult for the big boss to swallow, but it is very good for the hard-working crew members. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhang Yuan took tea and greeted each table.
You are eating his food, drinking his food, and you are asked to work overtime in a small class, so you still have the nerve to get emotional?
Everyone followed the good deeds and patted their chests to make sure.
"He's so awesome!" Liu Pinyan picked up a piece of squirrel mandarin fish and said while eating: "Just now, everyone was hating each other to death, but now they are brothers."
"Didn't you say that the Anti-Zhang Yuan Alliance is going to take action? ?" An Yixuan squinted and scoffed: "He also paid for this meal, why are you still eating it?"
"Ugh..." Liu Pinyan let go of his chopsticks, hesitated for a few seconds, and lowered his head. Work harder.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan returned to the main table and breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’m already full from drinking tea, so I might as well drink.”
Drunken tea is worse than drunkenness.
“By the way, Pinyan, I’ll have to trouble you later.”
“Obviously I’m just a stand-in, so I have to work overtime.”
“No trouble, hehe! "She raised her head and smiled innocently.
An Yixuan on the side rolled her eyes.
When we returned to the set after dinner, everyone was in high spirits.
"Come on, let all departments prepare."
"Lighting, camera, props..."
Director Wu was making arrangements, and Zhang Yuan handed over the revised script. In the hands of An Yixuan.
“Just changed this sentence?” Miss Lin Yueru flipped through the script, raised her head and asked.
"Yes, just one sentence."
"But because the lines have changed, your emotions will become more complicated when you perform."
Zhang Yuan squatted in front of her: "Say Before this sentence, think back to the character's journey along the way."
"Listen to the song "It's Always Quiet" a few times."
An Yixuan nodded, no. If in any doubt, just follow the instructions.
When it comes to acting, she trusts him unconditionally.
Everything is arranged and the crew is working again.
“ACTION!”
Following the director’s order, An Yixuan wore a flesh-colored coat lined with a red silk dress that represented her character.
The original long shawl hair was pulled together and neatly tied behind her head, making her look both soft and capable.
What a heroine!
At this time, the three people were standing together hand in hand as before.
Lin Yueru suddenly exerted force and threw the two of them to safety.
“No!”
“Yueru!”
Zhang Yuan shouted heartbreakingly, his emotions so violent that he almost spit out the tea he just drank.
And An Yixuan stood firmly on the stone platform.
This is different from the previous time.
Just now, she was standing alone, with tears streaming down her face, and her eyes full of reluctance and sorrow.
Now it's completely different.
She smiled, smiling bitterly.
There was no fear in his eyes, but only nostalgia for Li Xiaoyao's love and the revolving door of adventure that passed before his eyes.
“I didn’t expect it.” When she slowly said these three words, only two drops of tears fell from her eyes.
"It turns out that I am already so old."
But even though her cheeks were covered with tears, she was already smiling.
Because Lin Yueru wanted to leave her last smile to her beloved Li Xiaoyao.
“Stuck!”
After Director Wu shouted stop, he wiped the wet corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
“Great!”
“Much better than the previous time.”
"I cried when I saw it. How can the audience not cry."
There were also many sobbing sounds at the filming scene, especially from the female staff.
Zhang Yuan stepped forward and wanted to praise An Yixuan for her good performance.
But the other party was still immersed in the scene just now and couldn't extricate himself. He was rubbing his eyes with his palms, and tears seeped out from between his fingers from time to time.
Zhang Yuan was worthy of asking someone to bring tissues and comforted him at the same time.
"It's okay, it's okay, you did a good job."
He vaguely remembered that Liu Qianqian seemed to have been like this before on the set of "Dragon Movie". It was her first time on the set, and she also cried sadly. Desperate.
"Wow!" Just as he thought of this, a distressed voice like Liu Qianqian's came from behind him.
"Lin Yueru is too miserable!"
Liu Pinyan was also infected, frowned and cried.
"You changed all the lines. It's so miserable. It turns out it's not that miserable!" As he said that, he raised his pink fist and blasted Zhang Yuan's chest with a hammer.
An Yixuan also stretched out her hand and slapped his back. The two of them attacked him from both sides.
It’s not enough to be beaten all the time.
He simply hugged the two of them, put their heads on his shoulders, and patted their backs to comfort them as if coaxing children.
By the time the two of them recovered, his shoulders were already soaked.
Sure enough, women are made of water.
The studious Hu Ge also worked overtime with them.
Mainly, he also wanted to see what Zhang Yuan was tinkering with the director?
When he saw it, he was stunned.
"This, this... is much better than before."
Hu Ge frowned: "Do you need to be able to do this to be an actor?"
He took out the notebook he had thrown on the ground from his arms, opened it, and crossed out the line "I'm still a fool at this." Ah”, re-wrote below.
"A good actor must not only analyze his own character, but also understand other characters and the entire story..."
"Call it off!" Under Director Wu's instructions, the crew officially got off work.
All the actors went to remove their makeup. Zhang Yuan smoked outside like a gentleman as always, letting them both remove their makeup first.
In the dressing room, the eyes of the two girls were red.
An Yixuan glanced at the smiling Liu Pinyan and said with a smile.
“Did you feel comfortable leaning on Zhang Yuan’s shoulder just now?”
Liu Pinyan opened his eyes wide and said, “How could you accuse someone’s innocence out of thin air like this!”
“ How innocent, I saw you leaning against him and leaning your head into his arms."
Liu Pinyan's face turned red, and the veins on his forehead popped out, and he argued: "It doesn't count if I get emotional during filming."
"Can I count on being an actor?"
The words that came one after another were difficult to understand, such as "liberating one's nature" and "acting skills", which made An Yixuan burst into laughter. The atmosphere inside and outside the dressing room was filled with joy.
An Yixuan said in her heart that the anti-Zhang Yuan alliance may have collapsed long ago.
Different from the bustling scene on the set of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", it was more than a thousand kilometers away, in a hotel on the land of Baodao.
Liu Qianqian, who left the crew in the middle of the filming of the movie "Love in May", also just finished work and went back to her room to rest.
After taking a shower, I sat on the soft big bed and looked at the busy traffic in Taipei through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
It’s so playful outside and so quiet inside.
She suddenly felt a little lonely and sad for no reason.
Looking at my phone, today happens to be Thursday again.
"There seems to be a KFC downstairs..." she thought.
But unlike usual, she didn't have the slightest appetite today. She was clearly nearby, but had no intention of going there.
Holding her calves and resting her chin on her two small knees, she just sat there, lazily.
She seemed to understand.
What you eat doesn’t seem to be that important.
What matters is who you eat with.
"I really want to return to Hengdian soon..." (End of this chapter)
