Chapter 7

Views:

The confrontation between Chu Xiaxing and Director Wang caused the entire crew to watch the scene, and everyone watched the scene in fear, not knowing what would happen next.

Wang Dao said angrily: "The actors are really good now. They don't act very well, but they have sharp teeth and sharp mouths. It's different when there is a backstage!"

Director Wang directly ridiculed Chu Xiaxing for bringing money into the group, which was a bit ripped. This incident was originally only circulated among the top of the crew, but now he was so angry that he began to stab it out regardless.

Chu Xiaxing is not Cao Yangang, the other party will be fooled by Wang Dao, but she will not take the blame and said indifferently: "Nonsense, obviously you are the director. what."

Chu Xiaxing: You can be a director at this level, and it's really easy to find a job now.

Director Wang looked at her light-hearted appearance, and he suddenly became annoyed. He simply offered a classic line and sneered: "Do you think filming is very easy? You can do it? You are going to be the director! ?"

What Director Wang said was angry. He didn't think that Chu Xiaxing could be a director at all, so he naturally chose not to say anything.

When Chu Xiaxing heard this, she looked at Director Wang inexplicably. She didn't expect him to hand over the director's position. She only thought that the other party was giving it away on purpose, so she simply replied, "Yes."

Director Wang: "???"

Cao Yangang immediately panicked and wanted to round up the field: "What can you do, what are you talking about..."

"Since you voluntarily abdicated to become a virtuous person, then I would be more respectful than obeying my order." Chu Xiaxing walked up to Director Wang, she calmly took the walkie-talkie from the other side's hand, and waved her hand calmly, "Please give in a little, don't block it. monitor."

Chu Xiaxing didn't care whether the other party said angry words or not, she had long thought that Wang Dao was not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to kick him away!

Seeing her feat, everyone in the crew looked at each other, their eyes dazed, especially the director of photography who was sitting next to the monitor.

Director Wang was inadvertently taken away by Chu Xiaxing's walkie-talkie. He didn't expect her to climb up the pole, so he said in a rage, "Let her shoot, let her shoot, I'll see what masterpiece she can produce. !"

Director Wang didn't believe that Chu Xiaxing could dispatch various departments. She wouldn't have to come back and beg herself, who would listen to a yellow-haired girl!

Chu Xiaxing sat down on the director's chair, as if returning to her own soft chair. She held the walkie-talkie calmly, and said calmly, "Have you heard it? Next time!"

When Director Wang saw that she was actually sitting in the director's chair, he was even more nauseous, turning around restlessly. The director's chair is a status symbol in the crew, and ordinary staff members are absolutely not allowed to sit. If the director gives up the chair to someone, that person is usually a producer or a big actor, in short, a lot of background.

Cao Yangang was about to persuade him to stop Chu Xiaxing's murderous behavior, but she glared back at him. Chu Xiaxing sat on the director's chair and held the walkie-talkie. Her aura was suddenly fierce, as if she was in work mode, and she said coldly, "Cao Yangang, it's about to start, can you still act?"

Chu Xiaxing was taking care of the elderly outside the crew, but when she returned to the crew, she turned back to being a one-of-a-kind director Chu, who controlled the audience in a second.

As soon as Cao Yan met her eyes that were as cold as a knife, he was instantly stunned, and he no longer dared to persuade him, and changed his words: "If you can act, you can act..."

Cao Yangang hurriedly returned to the studio, only his part was in the end scene, and Chu Xiaxing was not required to appear. Everyone in the crew returned to work in a daze, but they looked at Chu Xiaxing in front of the monitor, still a little hesitant.

Chu Xiaxing glanced at the notice sheet in front of the monitor, then glanced at the lines in the script, and ordered: "The lights and the B-camera enter the room ahead of time to set up the lighting, and the A-camera stay here to shake one, and don't get together."

Director Wang tied the two machines together every time, and did not schedule them in advance at all, resulting in extremely long transition times. Once this kind of procrastination is cultivated, the people below will be lazy and random, and the team will become loose over time.

The lighting director hesitated: "Now?"

Chu Xiaxing: "Otherwise?"

The light guide looked at the pale-faced Director Wang not far away. He originally wanted to refuse to carry out Chu Xiaxing's order, but considering that she seemed to have some background, he didn't dare to offend rashly, so he could only whisper, "Okay, I Let them do the lighting…”

Of course, the light guide was afraid of the forces behind Chu Xiaxing, which did not mean that everyone would be obedient.

"Stop!" Chu Xiaxing frowned as she looked at the screen on the monitor. She asked directly on the walkie-talkie, "Who is the operator of machine A? Let him come and see me."

The photography team consists of a director of photography, a handheld camera, a follow-up camera, and a tracker. The director of photography is usually staring at the screen next to the monitor, while the handheld camera is the photographer who controls the machine.

When Director Wang saw the A-machine running towards the monitor, he immediately showed a look of schadenfreude, knowing that Chu Xiaxing couldn't adjust the A-machine. The photography team was all men, and there were many familiar faces of Director Wang, so naturally they would not be convinced by Chu Xiaxing right away.

Chu Xiaxing glanced at the dark-skinned, plain-looking male console in front of her. She raised her chin towards the screen on the monitor and raised her eyebrows, "What is this? Is this a panning shot?"

The male operator's eyes dodged in the face of the questioning, but his mouth was quite rude: "Yes."

Chu Xiaxing didn't get angry but smiled: "I dare to teach you photography lessons? You can't pan and take pictures even if you are in the palm of your hand?"

The male handheld gave her a sideways glance and said firmly, "Yes, no."

How could Chu Xiaxing not know that the other party was venting his anger for Wang, she nodded thoughtfully, and simply did not argue with him: "Okay, you can leave, since you can't pan, then don't earn this. Money, let the production team book tickets for you, go back and forth wherever you go."

The male operator was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Chu Xiaxing would actually hire someone directly. It was always a taboo to change people in the middle of the crew, and it was difficult to find a successor right away!

After Chu Xiaxing finished speaking, she stopped paying attention to the male camera, she turned her head to look at the director of photography, and sneered: "I have never heard that the camera can't shake, you are the boss of him, you can't shake either. shoot?"

The director of photography is the leader of the photography team, and he immediately showed embarrassment: "I..."

Chu Xiaxing said indifferently: "Yes, yes, no, no, you can give me a word now, will anyone in the huge photography team be able to take pictures?"

The director of photography couldn't answer for a while, he looked at the expressionless Chu Xiaxing, and secretly looked at Director Wang not far away, how could he not know that this was the moment to stand in line, and he was naturally in a dilemma!

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Chu Xiaxing stood up leisurely, stretched her arms again, and said lightly: "Okay, that's all, no one in the entire photography team can pan, and I don't know how to come here. What are you doing, then replace me."

"But you have to think about it carefully. If I touch the machine today, your photography team can get out of the way." Chu Xiaxing's eyes dimmed, and he said with a half-smile, "You can't even shoot a movie, so what kind of final money do you get? I'll make this money, I really treat the filming as a charity!"

Chu Xiaxing has never seen a camera that can't pan, so any crew can let people go directly.

The director of photography was a little hesitant just now, but he heard Chu Xiaxing directly put the cauldron of "not panning", and mentioned the end of the film, he immediately changed his attitude and took the initiative to stand up: "Yes, yes, yes. Yes, who can't shake the camera..."

Director of photography: Just kidding, if this kind of word spreads out, I won’t be able to receive the drama in the future!

The director of photography for Wang Dao was able to maintain the film, but if he was blamed for "can't pan", he would not have to think about taking other films in the future, and no one would want unprofessional photography.

"You actually know it?" Chu Xiaxing showed a look of regret. She pointed to the male console next to her and asked, "Didn't he just say he wouldn't?"

The director of photography hurriedly explained: "He is young and ignorant, so don't have the same knowledge as him... I'll shoot! I'll shoot this one! Isn't it just panning!"

The director of photography stopped Chu Xiaxing, who was about to walk towards the camera, and finally persuaded her to return to the director's chair without letting her touch the machine.

Chu Xiaxing said coldly, "Don't stay in the crew if you're not sensible. I'm here to work, not to bring the baby. Don't waste your time."

"Okay, okay, soon!" The director of photography responded happily, he winked at the bewildered male camera, and whispered, "Let's go, you go first..."

The male handheld was stunned: "But..."

The director of photography said angrily: "But what but! I'll take the camera this afternoon!"

The director of photography usually doesn't control the machine, but Chu Xiaxing turned off the male console in public. Hearing the words, the male camera left in a daze. Hearing this, he understood that he had become a cannon fodder. The director of photography now chose to stand with Chu Xiaxing!

Chu Xiaxing didn't care whether the director of photography was sincere or not, as long as she could mobilize them to do things, and the director of photography was better than the handheld, she naturally had no problem with personnel changes.

When everyone saw that she was actually able to put the director of photography next to the machine, they immediately became more energetic and did not dare to neglect for a while. There is a rank gap in the crew, and the boss of the camera crew is obedient, so naturally other people can't make mistakes.

Chu Xiaxing looked at the crew who were reorganizing the order, and said leisurely: "That's right, if anyone does not understand what they are doing, just tell me directly, I will do the work for you, and you don't have to wait. , the crew does not support idlers."

"If you don't have diamonds, don't take porcelain work. What kind of money will you make if you don't have the skills?"

Chu Xiaxing would not be polite. She only needed to focus on the things that others cared about most. She talked about art to those with a deep background, and talked about money to those who came to work. The quality of the people in the crew varies, and some are bullying and afraid of hardship, and they need to be directly deterred by means!

Director Wang originally thought that Chu Xiaxing couldn't control the crew, but she thought that she would kill the director of photography with one move, and immediately gathered everyone in an orderly manner.

Because Chu Xiaxing did have a keen eye, he could know what was wrong by scanning the screen, and he always pointed out the problem in a straight-forward manner. Therefore, everyone was very devoted in their work and did not dare to relax at all, for fear of being caught. Whether it's acting, photography, lighting, makeup and hair, she can always get to the point, and people find that she is not easy to fool, so they can only focus more.

Staff: After all, I'm afraid that she will really take away my job, and I won't be able to earn a penny by then.

Chu Xiaxing's instructions for each scene were neat and tidy, and the quality and efficiency of the shots were greatly improved. The atmosphere of the crew was stimulated in just two scenes, which made everyone feel a lot more relaxed, which was different from Wang Dao's state of grinding. Work still required a sense of accomplishment. Director Wang’s scheduling was exhausting, but Chu Xiaxing’s decision-making was much clearer.

It didn't take long for the director of photography to step up. He gradually forgot Chu Xiaxing's true identity, and even changed his name: "Boss, do you think this is okay? I can shoot it!"

Chu Xiaxing glanced at the monitor, and she couldn't help but praise: "Okay, you are still a bit skilled, but you can follow it a little longer, the one just now is not bad..."

Chu Xiaxing has always been business-like, and anyone who does things well is not stingy with praise. She rarely takes personal emotions in filming.

The director of photography was able to get to the point after listening to her. He immediately felt that he had found a confidant, and responded, "Okay, then another one!"

Director Wang didn't know much about photography, and the director of photography naturally didn't have any enthusiasm for creation. He always fooled around and just wanted to do business, but Chu Xiaxing really understood what was good and what was bad, and he had the mentality of showing off again. After all, you have to find someone who knows how to show off your skills, and finding the wrong person is a waste of time.

Seeing that the crew was working happily and engrossed in their work, Director Wang finally no longer had the mentality of watching the fun, and decided to stop this funny farce, and found Chu Xiaxing sitting in the director's chair: "You are not the director at all! Hurry up and give it to me. stand up!"

Chu Xiaxing was staring at the screen replay intently. She said slowly: "Can someone yell on the set now? Is the executive director eating dry food? Can't make the audience quiet?"

When the executive director was named suddenly, he was taken aback, lest he would be fired in the next second, and hurriedly persuaded tactfully and politely: "Director Wang, otherwise you can rest there for a while, and the next scene will be filmed soon. The last game left today…”

Director Wang stared at each other in disbelief: "What are you kidding? I'm the director, you let me rest!?"

The executive director said: "But the filming can be finished soon, and you can finish work earlier today..."

Not long ago, Director Wang kept filming until late at night, which naturally made the staff very tired. Chu Xiaxing's filming today was quite organized, and now everyone is looking forward to finishing the meal early to relieve their exhaustion. The crew has no Saturdays and Sundays, and their only rest is a short time after work.

Director Wang was invited out of the set by others. He really did not expect that the country would change hands so quickly, and Chu Xiaxing had no plans to come down when he sat on the director's chair!

It didn't take long for Chu Xiaxing to finish filming the last scene of the day. She didn't waste time at all, and happily announced that she would call it a day.

It was the first time in many days that everyone completed the work so early, and they were also full of joy at this time, and they praised one after another: "Thank you boss!"

"Thank you Director!"

"It's over, it's over, thank you boss, thank you Director Chu!"

This is the rule of the crew. If the work ends early one day, they will shout and thank the director. Most of the crew members are male, and the boys have loud voices, and now they are screaming loudly.

"Okay, don't yell, let's go eat." Chu Xiaxing waved at them casually. She was used to this kind of voice, and handed the script and the thermos to Li Jing, "Let's go too."

The crew members dispersed happily, they were able to rest for a while today, and their spirits were quite happy.

Not far away, Director Wang heard the loud thanks from the studio, but he was furious and angry. He was clearly the director, so who is the director calling him!

Wang Dao was furious: "This scene can't be filmed! How to film this scene? Call the producer now, is there anyone who can take care of her!?"

Director Wang was suddenly seized by Chu Xiaxing's crew. Now, apart from being incompetent and furious, he can only resort to the trick of a primary school student - sue the teacher.

In the urban area, Xia Hong was dazed when he received the call. He repeated uncertainly, "What? Chu Xiaxin turned the director on?"
