Luo Huai doesn't have many scenes left, and they will be finished soon. He is currently relatively well-off, and plans to stay in the villa for a while to learn the superb acting skills of his predecessors.
But Qian Duoqun, like his butt was on fire, quickly helped Luo Huai contact seven or eight auditions, as if he was afraid that he would stay in the villa for one more day.
Luo Huai is already an artist under the company. He has a two-way agreement with the company that if the company finds a way to provide resources to make him famous, he is also obligated to obey the company's contractual work arrangements.
"Brother Qian, have you accepted too many auditions now? Can I finish filming in a short time?" Luo Huai said awkwardly.
"Yes," Qian Duoqun said, "This one is the cannon fodder who dies after just two lines; the other one is the pretty boy who cheated the heroine out of her money at the beginning, and the scene lasts about ten minutes; the next one is Gong Gong. The next one is the young eunuch of the empress who was banished to the cold palace; the next one is the servant of the male protagonist’s friend’s rival brother; the next one is the ruthless murderer who killed the female protagonist’s best friend, next next next next one is… "
This is probably the company's current resources.
Qian Duoqun has always been at the bottom of the entertainment industry. He knows many assistant directors in casting, and specializes in helping the assistant directors choose actors who can perform for 10-30 minutes. These roles can show their faces, which is better than supporting roles. , the pay is also a bit higher, and many extras have to fawn over Qian Duoqun if they want to get this kind of role.
"These were all filmed in a film and television base, so no time is wasted. Auditions are also relatively easy. Many crews have already started filming. These characters were temporarily found. They changed costumes and let the assistant casting director take a look. Start filming if your image is suitable." Qian Duoqun said, "At this stage, you are not well-known and the company's resources are relatively limited. You should focus on TV series to let the audience know you."
Luo Huai: "But with so many roles, can you give me one?"
"Of course, after all, you are the only child of our company." Qian Duoqun sighed.
Luo Huai: "Young Miao? Doesn't our company have many senior actors?"
"Oh, he has no intention of being in the entertainment industry. He only does movies out of hobby. He has no intention of fully joining the film and television industry. But if you want to be a good actor, the company will focus on training you." Qian Duoqun said.
"You're so kind to me." Luo Huai was so moved that he almost cried.
Qian Duoqun felt so guilty that he almost cried.
At this time, Jiudao came to the gate of the villa, tore off five paper figures from Luo Huai's back, and said to Luo Huai: "You have something on your body."
"When did you get the stain?" Luo Huai felt a little embarrassed. He saw the paper figure that Director Zhong was holding on the , "Wow, the face of this paper figure looks like that of Brother Shen."
"Well, this is the script I drew. When drawing, the face should be as close to the actor as possible for easy interpretation." Zhong Jiudao said.
"Why do you need to cut it off?" Luo Huai was curious.
"The actor thought the painting was very beautiful. He took the discarded script away as a souvenir. I guess he didn't know who cut it with such a childish heart." Zhong Jiudao handed Luo Huai a picture without changing his expression. Box , "Be careful when filming outside. I give this to you. I hope you can wear it at all times."
Luo Huai opened it and saw that there were a lot of jewelry inside, including rings, pendants, earrings, chains, and pupils. The materials were all very cheap, and the full set was available for 9.9 yuan on a certain Xixi app. species.
"Each role has different requirements," Zhong Jiudao explained patiently, "The ones who wear it can't wear rings, and the ones who don't can wear earrings, so I prepared more. You wear it every day, what's the point? If you can’t wear it, just wear the contact lens. I chose the contact lens that is closest to the color of the pupil, so it should be wearable.”
"Okay, okay." Although he didn't know what Director Zhong meant, Luo Huai still accepted the box of 9.9 seriously.
Zhong Jiudao was afraid that he would be disobedient, so he emphasized: "You must wear it. Look at these jewelry. They are all my company's logo and the symbol of the company. There is no harm in wearing them. If you encounter Lien." When you can’t even wear it, you can remember the shape of the logo in your mind and recall it over and over again. When you meet people like you, Sister Qi and Brother Jiang, remember to call me while silently reciting the logo. I understand. ?"
"I understand!" Luo Huai said.
When a company is starting up, it is important to promote the company's name as much as possible, and a logo is the best way. He continues to appear in film and television dramas, and the company's logo will quietly appear in more dramas. Later, the company will become famous. These are all interesting easter eggs.
When you meet someone as talented as Brother Jiang, of course you must report it to Director Zhong immediately, and work first to become stronger and attract good talents into the company!
Luo Huai took out a pendant and took a closer look. He saw a strange pattern and asked, "Is this the logo? What does it mean?"
"This is the glyph that combines the two characters '九道', pronounced as '馗'. The reason why the glyph is so small is because it was the of '馗' when it was first created. At that time It's still a hieroglyph, so it looks like a graphic," Zhong Jiudao explained.
"What a sense of design." Luo Huai praised.
As usual, Qian Duoqun drove Luo Huai and the photographer away. As Luo Huai finished filming, the human part was over, and the rest was the ghost part. Naturally, the photographer could no longer be used, and Zhong Jiudao could do it. Take on the responsibilities of photographer alone.
Luo Huai opened the box and looked at each piece of jewelry carefully. The company logo was all over it. Even the smallest earrings, if you look at them with a magnifying glass, you can see the word "馗".
Yes, if you look carefully at the sun, you can see a transparent "kui".
"Director Zhong is so awesome," Luo Huai praised. "The logo on the earrings is even micro-carved. He is so versatile!"
The photographer said: "This is normal. When a director is the brains of the entire film, of course he has to be able to do a little bit of everything and understand a little bit of everything. What he has to do is not to specialize in any one thing, but to be an all-round talent. Otherwise, how can he Communicate with other staff.”
"Director Zhong looks mature, but he is actually quite young, right? Just over thirty years old?" Luo Huai asked.
Qian Duoqun: "He and you have just graduated from college, but he has repeated high school for three years, so he is three years older than you, and he is 25 this year."
"Only 25 years old?" Luo Huai and the photographer said in unison.
The two of them recalled Zhong Jiudao's appearance together, and then discovered that Zhong Jiudao was too tall, had a very stable temperament, and had a sense of security. He was the anchor of the entire crew. For this reason, when everyone's eyes fall on Director Zhong, they first look at his neck (after all, he is not tall enough), then look at his aura, and finally feel a sense of security. No one is really staring at him. I looked carefully at his face.
"Looking back, his face is actually quite young..." the photographer said.
"He's very handsome, no worse than the handsome guys from my acting department." Luo Huai agreed.
Qian Duoqun: "That's right! When he was an intern on a film crew in college, he was mistaken for an actor countless times. Even though they knew he was majoring in directing, many talent scouts advised him to change careers and work as an actor for a few years. It would be great to make money and become a director after gaining connections and qualifications in the entertainment industry. It would be great to be an idol when you are young and dream about it when you are older. But he didn't listen and focused on his career as a director. He always talked about time. It’s not enough, we need to make a more widely circulated film as soon as possible.”
"Why did he repeat high school for three years?" Luo Huai asked with great concern, "Did he fall ill at this time?"
"In three years, he has repeated high school again, right?" The photographer was confused. His score in the art exam was not high. How low of a score would it take for him to repeat high school for three years? Moreover, Director Zhong is an all-round talent, and he doesn’t look like someone who is bad at cultural courses.
Qian Duoqun: "I don't know about this. He said it himself when he repeated his studies for three years. Who knows if it's true or not? Maybe it's because of his family's difficulties that it's not convenient for him to tell others."
The gossip about Zhong Jiudao ended here. Luo Huai touched the box in his arms and recalled Director Zhong's words in his mind. The more he thought about it, the younger he felt.
He's only 25 years old. I always thought he was at least 35. Luo Huai thought quietly.
Director Zhong in the Bagua Center is currently instructing the ghosts to set up the set. All the humans have left, and finally a group of ghosts and Director Zhong are left, which makes Zhong Jiudao very relieved.
No longer needing to keep secrets, no longer need to play humans, and no longer need to treat humans and ghosts equally, this feeling is really great!
Zhong Jiudao was sitting on the tallest and largest chair in the entire villa. In front of him was the cold wind, and countless props were flying in the air. In just a few moments, the scene was set up.
Jiang Fen's soul is unstable, and people with excessive yang energy will be frightened. These days, he has been absorbing spiritual energy from Yue in the crew to stabilize his soul. He didn't dare to show up until everyone in the crew left.
It was only then that he realized that there were so many ghosts in the villa.
"Oh my god! What a ghost!" Jiang Fen passed by a decapitated ghost and screamed in fright. He hid behind Zhong Jiudao's chair and asked for help.
"...You are also a ghost." Zhong Jiudao said.
"Oh, yes, I always forget that I am a ghost." Jiang Fen scratched his head and floated out.
Zhong Jiu said: "But he can absorb your soul, which is commonly known as eating you."
Jiang Fen shrank back again and hid behind Director Zhong to watch the filming.
It's so convenient to use ghosts as actors.
If a photographer wants to capture a perfect shot, he must also coordinate lighting, angles, shapes, etc. Especially when shooting dynamic scenes, the photographer must run faster than the stars.
Zhong Jiudao's own professional level is definitely not as good as that of a photographer, but the actors he uses are very convenient.
For example, when shooting the scene of falling in the air, Zhong Jiudao found that this part was not shot well, so he directly told the actor: "Fu Yue, when you are floating down from the building, hold it in the air so that I can take the special shot." Change the angle, change the angle again, face the camera, yes, okay.”
Fu Yue had to follow Zhong Jiudao's instructions and keep turning around in the air. It's not that Zhong Jiudao is surrounding her to find the best angle, but her Wuwei Ya autonomous rotation in the air provides the best angle for Zhong Jiudao.
For another example, when the lighting effect is not good, Zhong Jiudao ordered: "This part of the lighting requires the face to be bright and the body to be dark. Shen Leshan, please blur your body. Your body is too bloody. Even if the standards are relaxed now, it cannot be broadcast, so It must be dark!”
Shen Leshan reluctantly mosaicd his body, but his face was still not bright enough.
This crew is a little bit yin-yin-yang-yang-yang-waning. The only two human actors whose characters are not good enough to attract fans, Pang Xinhao is too scumbag, and Luo Huai is too naive. The complex and contradictory character is an important factor that arouses discussion. For this reason, Zhong Jiudao can add drama to Shen Leshan, who is the male face of the crew.
Be affectionate, vicious, and have your own little selfishness.
Since it is affectionate, it cannot be too ugly, so the condition of his skin should highlight the pity and visual pain, rather than the horror. When shooting, the focus must be on the handsome face rather than the body.
"The face is still not bright enough," Zhong Jiudao ordered, "Qi Wanlian, light it up!"
Qi Wanlian flew over with a candle, and the candlelight reflected on Shen Leshan's face. The flickering light showed his inner struggle.
Zhong Jiu said: "No, the heroine's posture when holding the candle is not good-looking. Let's have a ghost who cannot be seen in front of the camera hold the candle to make it float more atmospherically."
The ghosts on the crew are all powerful ghosts, and their yin energy is too strong. With the blessing of Zhong Jiudao's spell, the camera will definitely be able to capture him.
So Zhong Jiudao looked at Jiang Fen.
Jiang Fen: "Huh? Me? But I can now show my appearance a little bit, just a little transparent."
"I can hit you and take away some of the Yin Qi. Then you won't be able to reveal yourself." Zhong Jiudao smiled gently, "Don't worry, it won't hurt. I will set up a Yin Gathering Formation to make it up for you afterwards. of."
"not me… "
Before Jiang Fen had time to refuse, a weak thunder light flashed, and he turned transparent, holding candles and surrounding Shen Leshan and Qi Wanlian.
This time the male and female protagonists are handsome enough, but it is too difficult for Shen Leshan to show his deep love for Qi Wanlian.
"Shen Leshan, you are a ghost with a little bit of conscience, but you love Qi Wanlian. For her, you are willing to help her arrest people and help her restore her youth. And her secret method of restoring youth is to use you You have to bear the pain of being skinned every time she becomes younger. How can you look at her with such a fearful expression? The hero tells the story.
Shen Leshan's face was full of despair: "Director Zhong, when Qi Wanlian seduces someone, that's when she wants to devour him! She looks at me with such a look, can I not resist? What if my body is broken? The Celestial Master's flesh and blood has been taken away. Any ghost can absorb my power. I must resist. I am using all my strength to resist her temptation. "
Zhong Jiudao waved his palm, and a flash of fire flashed, and Shen Leshan's strength weakened a lot.
Zhong Jiudao nodded to Qi Wanlian: "Take this opportunity to control him quickly, make him love you, and finish the scene smoothly."
"Thank you, Director Zhong, for giving me this opportunity." Qi Wanlian smiled sweetly.
So the heroine hugged the hero affectionately and gave her a kiss...
"Stop! Don't take advantage of the filming to secretly eat the leading actor!" Zhong Jiudao struck with another thunderous strike.
The filming went smoothly despite the director's high pressure and the actors' constant injuries.
