On the set, the faint light climbed up the residential buildings obliquely, and it was dawn.
All departments are making intensive preparations. Last night, the lights were feasting, and this morning they got up before dawn to start work. Everyone looked like a black-eyed chicken.
Unit 101 is a two-bedroom, one-living room used as the director's lounge. The cleaning and renovation still can't hide the oldness of the house. Ren Shu is too busy to come here very often.
Qu Yanting went through every room, whether it was worn out or old, he glanced over any not-so-glamorous traces. It seemed to him that there was no difference between this dilapidated house and a luxury suite in a hotel.
Back in the living room, there were breakfast and espresso on the tea table. There were double servings, and Ren Shu was eating one of them.
Qu Yanting walked over, moved the laptop aside, and said, "Don't dirty my computer."
Ren Shu asked: "Do you really like this house? Don't you think it's old?"
Qu Yanting replied: "Once the door is closed, it will be quiet."
The RV was rented early in the morning, but Qu Yanting and the group were out of plan. It was not difficult to add an extra car, but he was annoyed by the parking space next to the actors.
"Okay, then you can use it." Ren Shu opened the coffee and took a sip, "I have no choice but to start work, why did you come so early?"
Qu Yanting said: "I'm looking for you to ask for a storyboard script, I'm afraid you'll be too busy to take care of it if you're late."
There are many restrictions on scripts, and the corresponding standards often change as they say. Maybe it was a popular subject when the project was approved, but it became a typical ban after filming.
Qu Yanting has some personal relationships, so he showed the script to the internal personnel reviewing the film, and received a letter last week that some scenes and lines need to be adjusted.
Later deletions or dubbing will affect the presentation effect to some extent. He discussed with Ren Shu and decided that he would change the script with the team and deal with the problem properly in the early stage.
Qu Yanting turned on the laptop and said, "I've prepared the revision outline. When making specific revisions, I should refer to your storyboard script and try to change the shots to a minimum, so that you can save some effort by changing the storyboard."
"Thank you buddy." Ren Shu stared at the screen, "It's not easy to estimate the time when changing a play, how about this, I'll shoot one after you change it, and review the samples in time to see the effect."
Qu Yanting has no objection: "The changes to the 14th scene are not big, I can finish it before noon. I can shoot it in the afternoon. If it goes well, we will follow this process."
Ren Shu thought about it: "Will it be a bit rushed? You have to give me time to change the storyboard. I have to communicate with the photography team about the shooting details after I finish the changes."
Qu Yanting didn't comment, picked up a pen next to the computer, and quickly turned the body of the pen back and forth from the tiger's mouth to the little finger.
After five or six seconds of silence, he said, "Why don't I make rough changes to the storyboard to help you get a good base?"
Ren Shu hesitated: "This..."
With her fingernails on the pen holder, Qu Yanting pulled the corner of her mouth lightly: "I'm just joking."
Ren Shu said with a smile: "Storyboarding is the job of the director. If I leave it to you, I'll be a vegetarian. Otherwise, after you finish editing, let's call the team leaders to have a meeting, work it out together, and try to shoot in the afternoon." .”
Qu Yanting revealed this article: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangement."
Ren Shudao: "Then let me arrange it again. During the filming, you will watch the scene with me. If you have any questions, just talk about it. We will not separate each other behind the camera."
Qu Yanting said: "All are at the discretion of the director."
Ren Shu had already finished eating: "I have to go to work, and if you have something to do, tell Xiao Zhang."
"Okay." Qu Yanting said, "Thanks for your hard work."
Ren Shu put on his bag and got up, walked to the door, held the door handle but didn't open it immediately.
He turned his head to look at Qu Yanting, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said softly: "Dude, you said to change the storyboard, do you want to experience what it's like to be a director?"
Qu Yanting said, "Why do you ask that?"
Ren Shu replied: "You won the first prize for the short film you directed in your sophomore year. When you received the award, you said that being a director is your dream."
Qu Yanting smiled: "It's just a story, you can believe it."
Ren Shu was also happy, and he opened the door and said, "Fortunately, I always remember, let's go."
The door closed, and the room became quieter. Qu Yanting didn't touch the sandwich and coffee, picked up the director's workbook, and spent the time of breakfast carefully flipping through it.
Suddenly, there was a "stab" sound from the ceiling.
Upstairs 201 is the styling room. After Lu Wen finished his makeup and hair, when he got up, the chair legs rubbed against the floor with a harsh sound. He went inside to change clothes, cheap sports pants and a hoodie, Ye Xiaowu's attire.
Sun Xiaojian came in to wait on him, his face was the same as when Lu Wen came out of the box last night, with a serious endocrine disorder. Because he knew Qu Yanting's real body and Lu Wen's various magical operations.
Taking off his coat, Lu Wen shook his hoodie shirtless: "Didn't I tell you, I apologize, Teacher Qu won't care about it."
Sun Xiaojian's mood has experienced imminent catastrophe, near-never danger, fear, and unfounded worry, and now it has changed into turning the tide.
He said: "It's enough not to worry about it? The original goal was to make Qu Bian admire you."
Lu Wen said: "It shouldn't be such an ambitious goal."
Sun Xiaojian said worryingly: "Although the start is not good, everything has just begun. If you are serious about filming, you must not make any mistakes again. You must restore Qu Bian's impression of you little by little."
"I understand." Lu Wen began to take off his pants.
Sun Xiaojian said: "You know a fart. In addition, when you see Qu Bian, you must have a respectful attitude, a cute smile, and be courteous when you have nothing to do. Always remember that you are the eighteenth line who needs to hold your thighs, don't pretend to be rich. The stinky shelf of the generation."
Lu Wen said: "I'm already wearing these torn sweatpants, the shelf has collapsed."
Suspecting that Sun Xiaojian was nagging endlessly, Lu Wen ran away with oil on his feet. He has always been very nervous, consciously thinking that what happened last night was a perfect ending, although it ended with Qu Yanting slamming the door with a "bang".
Coming out of 201, Lu Wen went down the steps with his trouser pockets in his pockets, his arms clinging to his waist, for fear that the mottled walls and stair railings would rub against him.
After running down the last step, he stopped and saw the newly posted sign on door 101—screenwriter's lounge.
Lu Wen walked behind the door, clicked, and the door suddenly opened.
Qu Yanting took tape and a piece of paper, on which was written "no entry for idlers". He didn't expect that there was a big living person blocking the door, so he was stunned for a second, and then he was stunned for several seconds after seeing who it was.
Lu Wen changed his eyebrow shape, which was natural but not delicate.
The eye makeup is so light that it cannot be seen, but it actually modifies the contours of his eyes to look more childish. The short hair was scratched slightly, and the shape of the face was softened a bit, with a small light brown mole poked on the left cheek. He was standing with his pockets in his pockets, his shoelaces were not tied properly, and he looked like an unreliable high school student.
At the audition, Ren Shu said that he didn't look like a twenty-seven-eight person at all, and he was very youthful.
The two confronted each other for a while, before Lu Wenxian said, "Mr. Qu, good morning."
Qu Yanting ignored him and fiddled with the tape in his hand.
Remembering Sun Xiaojian's advice, Lu Wen took half a step closer and said, "Teacher Qu, I'll post it for you."
He took the paper, and the words on the paper were handwritten, strong and beautiful. Pressing the paper against the door, he asked with concern: "Teacher Qu, did you sleep well last night?"
Qu Yanting raised his head and gave Lu Wen a look. Thanks to the two hundred and five, he dreamed of his father who had passed away for many years last night.
Lu Wen quickly changed the subject: "Have you had breakfast? If not, I'll ask my agent to buy it."
Qu Yanting finally said, "Don't be so courteous."
When the words were exposed, Lu Wen was a little embarrassed, and said stiffly: "I am more warm-hearted."
He glanced at Qu Yanting with complicated emotions. Knowing Qu Yanting's identity, she feels that she can't be offended, so she restrains herself, but she always ignores Qu Yanting's identity and wants to do whatever she wants.
Lu Wen hugged his thigh hard again, and asked, "Teacher Qu, can I ask you for advice if I don't understand the script?"
After pasting it, Qu Yanting raised his hand and tapped on the paper, and replied with the words "Idlers are not allowed to enter".
It was rumored that Qu Yanting didn't like contacting actors in private, and it was true.
It only takes five seconds for Lu Wen to go from getting started to giving up. If he can't hug his thighs, then forget it. He said: "Then I will go to the show, and the teacher will see you again!"
Shooting is divided into AB groups, two groups of people, sometimes divided according to the main and supporting roles, and sometimes divided according to the interior and exterior scenes.
Lu Wen and Group A shot some trivial life shots in the morning, and the location was limited to a few shops across the street.
The already narrow streets were overcrowded. Besides the crew and onlookers, there were also a bunch of little girls. Lu Wen walked around, but no one yelled at him, obviously the girls were not his fans.
There is a scene in the snack bar, Ye Xiaowu and a few friends eat Chongqing noodles. In order to protect his throat, Lu Wen never smokes or eats spicy food all year round, but Ye Xiaowu lives in Chongqing and enjoys everything spicy.
The first one, Lu Wen couldn’t bear it, he grinned and was stopped by the director; the second one, his expression was steady, his tongue was trembling and he couldn’t speak clearly; the third one, he was fine, and the two supporting actors robbed each other Rhythm.
After taking four photos, Lu Wen was so hot that he was sweating profusely, and his makeup was already worn out.
After a 20-minute break, he went back to touch up his makeup and change his clothes. When he walked out of the snack bar, Sun Xiaojian handed him a large bottle of pure milk.
Lu Wen crossed the road with the milk, and as soon as he reached the gate of the community, the group of little girls screamed excitedly outside the boundary.
He looked over in a daze, and saw Ruan Feng, the second male lead in the play, among the crowd.
Ruan Feng is over 1.8 meters tall, with fair complexion and light brown hair. He is very handsome, the kind of handsome that makes girls scream. Take a quick look at Sunshine Youth, and if you take a few more glances, you will find that he has a somewhat classical and handsome temperament, which is due to the fact that he studied opera when he was a child.
Surrounded by bodyguards and assistants, Ruan Feng, as his name suggests, was brisk and agile like a gust of wind.
He got closer, and gradually stopped when he saw Lu Wen.
The two poked at the gate of the community and looked at each other for three or four seconds.
Ruan Feng stretched out his hand first: "Hi, I'm Ruan Feng."
Lu Wen shook back: "I am Lu Wen."
Ruan Feng grinned: "You are so handsome, I saw you when I turned around just now."
Lu Wen said, "I saw you right away, too."
The director and others were across the street, but Ruan Feng didn't look at it, and looked into the community. He said politely: "I heard that editor Qu has come to the crew, I'll go to say hello to Mr. Qu first, let's talk later."
Thinking of Qu Yanting's noble and glamorous attitude, Lu Wen wondered if he should go or not.
During this gap, Ruan Feng had already run into the community, as if he couldn't wait any longer.
Lu Wen wanted to go back to 201 to change clothes, so he walked in behind and unscrewed the milk bottle as he walked.
The people were concentrated on the street, and the community at this time seemed deserted. Lu Wen walked slowly to the door of unit 1, and saw Ruan Feng running up the third step, and stopped outside door 101 impatiently.
He paused and stepped aside, so as not to embarrass Ruan Feng when he was rejected by the door.
Dong dong dong, Ruan Feng slammed on the door forcefully.
I rely on, such a tiger. Lu Wen sweated for the other party.
Not long after, the door opened, and Qu Yanting appeared inside.
The two of them faced each other, Ruan Feng turned his back outward and couldn't see his expression, but Qu Yanting's appearance was exposed. He smiled, that smile was surprise first, and then unguarded intimacy, his face was better than every time he showed up before.
Ruan Feng was taller, and stretched out his arms to hug Qu Yanting's shoulders, and that was more than that, he leaned over and hugged Qu Yanting. His movements were extremely natural, he hugged Qu Yanting tightly and squeezed into the room, as if he was afraid of being seen, he rushed to the door.
"No entry for idlers" was clearly posted on the door.
At the entrance of the unit building, Lu Wen was dumbfounded and choked on a big mouthful of pure milk.
