Chapter 126 Director Li
The two left the set a little early in the evening, and arrived home before four o'clock, just in time to break into a group of liars who were stringing together confessions.
"Why are you back so early?" Li Shunkyu asked awkwardly.
"Are you so early too?" Li Menglong asked with ridicule.
"We just had a meal and came back directly. What's wrong? Do you have any objections?" Jessica ignored this and said domineeringly.
Li Menglong waved his hand quickly: "No, absolutely not!"
When Xu Xian came down after rinsing, he found that Li Menglong was pestering Li Soonkyu and playing with something. He originally thought it was a game console, but when he walked in, it turned out to be a DV.
As soon as she walked to the middle and planned to sit down, she realized that everyone's eyes were focused on her. Xu Xian quickly turned around to check her clothes, and even touched the fixation of the underwear inside. There was nothing unexpected.
So he carefully walked to the side of Xiao Jingshu, and continued to do it carefully close to her. I always felt that the atmosphere was a bit scary.
"Okay, our heroine is here, everyone, get ready." Following the order from Director Lee Soon Kyu, the crowd dispersed with cheers.
Xu Xian didn't know what was going on, but he was pulled to the center of the living room by Kim Taeyeon, and at the same time he said crisply: "The actors are in place."
Jessica was still sitting on the sofa over there, but she was already looking over here, holding the script in her hand: "The prompter is in place."
"Where's the acting director? If you don't come back, I won't want you anymore?" Director Li shouted domineeringly.
"Come here, come here, I'll bring you the materials I prepared." Little Crystal ran over quickly.
Seeing the crew forming, Director Lee sighed with satisfaction, but under Li Menglong's urging, he still reluctantly signaled Kim Taeyeon to start.
"Girls' Generation is in Jeju, the first rule of the first game is action!" Kim Taeyeon used her hands as a slate, and after finishing speaking, Kim Taeyeon bent over and ran out.
Jessica on the other end had already started reciting her lines, while Little Crystal was jumping up and down in front of Xu Xian, gesturing for him to perform.
Xu Xian looked at Li Menglong holding a camera in front of her in a serious manner. She finally understood what was going on. It was obvious that her sisters and him were trying to help her adapt to the camera and master her lines.
It was inevitable that she would be moved, but Xu Xian would not say it out loud. Instead, she would work hard to express her gratitude to them, so she performed seriously in front of the Caotai team.
"No, it's not very effective if you don't have the leading actor." Li Menglong said softly behind the camera.
But how could this be so difficult for Director Li? With a wave of his hand, Kim Taeyeon assumed a new role. She walked over pretentiously, then lifted Xu Xian's chin with one hand, and then her whole body trembled wildly.
"You're not trying to be cool. You're crazy. The heroine is really blind if she likes you." Li Menglong complained behind the camera.
Dissatisfied with Li Menglong's teasing, Kim Taeyeon hugged Xu Xian and confessed affectionately: "You are the wind and I am the sand, lingering until the end of the world..."
After some complicated controls, the main threat was that Director Li angrily said that if he didn't take things seriously, he wouldn't let the food go, and everyone started to take it seriously.
As the only one among the few who has guest-starred in several TV series, Little Crystal has become the most experienced one. Now she still has that aloof demeanor. She is a child with ADHD.
The final effect was not that good either. Instead of improving Xu Xian's acting skills, it would be more appropriate to say that it relaxed her mood. As a result, in the evening, in order to thank his sisters for their help, Xu Xian treated everyone to a delicious meal, which made Li Menglong feel quite distressed when he paid the bill, saying that Li Soonkyu and the others had eaten too much.
The girls were having fun in Jeju Island. During this period, Little Crystal asked Li Menglong to hang out with them. However, Li Soonkyu and the others didn't even talk to them because he couldn't let Seohyun come out on his own while Seohyun was still on the set.
Similarly, Xu Xian did not say these pretentious words. He worked from six to nine every day, and sometimes worked night jobs. Xu Xian and Li Menglong did not feel embarrassed at all because they did not participate in the filming.
Seohyun has always been with Han Jia and Lee Joo-yong, and together with Lee Meng-ryong, he has been constantly exchanging opinions about the characters with them.
The deeper the understanding of the character, the greater the sense of identification with Xu Xian's performance. To be honest, Xu Xian does not have that kind of extraordinary acting talent, and such high-level performances that replace emotions are not suitable for her at all.
There is only one way Seohyun can take, which is to enter the role and eventually become the character. Overall, the progress is very good. The crew, including the director, are optimistic about Seohyun's subsequent performance.
It is easy to cultivate revolutionary sentiments by sharing weal and woe. Unlike Xu Xian, Li Menglong has nothing to do all the time. He is a semi-idle person, so he wanders around all day long, helping here and lending a hand there. He is the whole crew. figure.
"I think you should pay. You are studying on my crew for free. When this drama is over, you can be an assistant director." Li Zhouyong joked.
"Why can't it be the director?" Li Menglong asked as he handed the other party a bottle of drink.
"It doesn't seem like the director has much to do. There are actors for acting, employees for work, assistant directors for coordination, and producers for funding, but this is what the director needs." Pointing to his head, Li Zhouyong nodded.
After shaking thoughtfully, Li Menglong said cautiously: "You mean the director is the brains of the entire team and is responsible for everything?"
"Although it's a little one-sided, it's pretty much the same. Now that you're on the crew, you know almost everything. If you have the chance, you can go to a university to study systematically. About the use of lenses, color adjustment, the center of the script, etc." Li Zhouyong has been in recent times. When Tian and Li Menglong came into contact, they really felt that this boy had some spirituality.
Initially, it was because of the script marked by Li Menglong. Although the wording in it was a bit immature, the direction was correct. The wording can be learned and the direction is talent.
Later, Li Menglong had a hand in all the work of the crew, even ordering box lunches, and reduced the price by 20%. Although it was only a small matter worth tens of thousands a day, it was indeed a good habit.
Then when Li Menglong gave Li Zhouyong guidance with the practice scenes he shot Xu Xian every day, he really felt a trembling feeling. The use of the lens is a mysterious and mysterious thing.
Almost every director has a fixed main cameraman, and there are even many great directors who started their career as cameramen. Although the lens principles are all figured out, everyone has his own style.
Regardless of whether the style is good or bad, having your own lens style is an important step. This is talent, and Li Menglong already has it.
"Really, I graduated from Dongguk University. If you are interested, I can write you a letter of recommendation and study hard. You will have a chance." Li Zhouyong patted Li Menglong's shoulder seriously.
Li Menglong humbly accepted anyone's kindness and thanked the other person sincerely, but Li Menglong still refused the request.
First of all, to put it nicely, it is just a piece of diamond. Even if it can be polished well in college, God knows how long it will take to make money and achievements in movies. Secondly, college tuition fees in South Korea are notoriously expensive. It is normal for many students to take a year off to work and work to earn tuition fees.
So Li Menglong rejected this idea from any angle, but Xu Xian's eyes lit up at the side. This suggestion was like sweet potato rain from the sky and she felt it.
Without talking to Li Menglong, Xu Xian decided to get to know him first and wait until he had the opportunity to surprise Li Menglong. However, his identity was also a problem.
