Chapter 106(1/2)

Chapter106.

In addition to this meeting at the theater, Li Mu felt that the other announcements were boring and that they didn't go there because they were not fun. They were all done by Zhuang Qin himself.

As the reputation of the movie increases, there is more tap water, and more people buy tickets to watch movies.

One month after its release, the schedule of films dropped sharply in October. It was not that no one went to watch them, but the theaters did not dare to schedule the films for "Hidden Heart" during the National Day.

But the producers were all satisfied. The box office of more than 300 million yuan a month, and after sharing the cash with theaters, it was 100 million yuan. Films with this kind of theme can be released in China and achieved such box office results. The entire industry's three views have been subverted. When will the Film Bureau be so easy to talk about? All such themes are given! Regarding the strong capital behind the movie, Zhuang Qin's capital support spread wildly.

In early October, Director Zeng's crew officially started filming and called Zhuang Qin: "There is a character who has not found a suitable person. Do you have time to make a guest appearance?"

"I only have notices recently, and there are no other arrangements." He has many notices recently and is rushing every day. But Ye Sa also said that after finishing his work, he can rest for half a year.

"You're just a supporting role. You've seen the script. If you've watched it, you'll go home after filming it in half a month."

Zhuang Qin has an impression of this film, but he is not as good as the director of the previous films. Moreover, because of the realistic war theme, there are some problems with the cooperation with theaters. In addition, young people do not like to watch such heavy themes, and the box office in the end is mediocre, but the reputation is very good.

Zhuang Qin asked which character it was. Director Zeng said that he remembered that it seemed that the supporting actor he met You Rui last time he went to the audition meeting. He was a very popular character and had a deeper character.

Director Zeng: "How much does it cost to make a price?"

"Director Zeng, I don't want a paycheck. If you are willing to give me a role, then I will act." It takes half a month to finish the filming, and there is almost no pressure for Zhuang Qin.

"Don't have a pay?"

If Zhuang Qin is just an unknown little star, it is reasonable to want to show his face in his movies, but Zhuang Qin is not the same as before. He is already the Berlin actress, and it is impossible to say that he will play in a zero-payment role.

"That won't work. I know how hard it is to film. How can you do if you don't have a pay?"

"You have taught me so much, and I have no place to repay me. It is my honor to be a guest star in your movie." Human favors are the worst thing to pay. Zhuang Qin wants to learn something from Director Zeng, but how can he not pay. The pay is only a few million at most, and you will get a few notices. But for the director, if millions are spent on the post-production special effects of the movie, the quality of the movie will definitely be improved by more than one level.

He said seriously: "If you want me to act, then I won't have a pay."

Director Zeng pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone.

If the two of them have a good relationship, they are just teachers and students in reality shows for several months. Zhuang Qin is the only student who has seen it. Director Zeng has always been interested in supporting him, believing that he lacks an opportunity to let the public see his acting skills.

Now Zhuang Qin has won the best actor and has a box office appeal. He can't help himself. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find the actor he felt was suitable for, Director Zeng wouldn't have called him.

"Okay, then I won't give you a paycheck. You can arrange your schedule and make half a month to join the group."

When You Rui received the message from the casting director, he told him that when the role was replaced, he was about to get involved in the group and was stunned: "Didn't Director Zeng like me?"

"Director Zeng thinks that other actors may be more suitable for this role."

"who?"

The casting director sent a vague message: "I'm not very clear about the specifics. If you didn't win this role, you can consider other roles. There are two vacancies, but there are fewer scenes."

This film requires a lot of actors, and some war scenes may require a large number of extras.

You Rui was thinking about his role. He practiced for so long and thought it was a foregone conclusion. How could he say that if he changed people, he would change people? If he changed characters, he would not do it, and he would want that one.

"Who snatched my character?"

The other party did not answer, and You Rui changed his question: "There are not many scenes in this role. You are the director, so why can't you decide? Who stole my role? Is he better than me?"

"I'm not the director either! I'm not the final decision on casting. I chose you and others don't recognize you. What can I do?"

"Who doesn't recognize me? Did Director Zeng?" You Rui's inspiration flashed, "Zhuang Qin?"

The other party's participation in casting of the production team is still vivid in my mind.

"Is it him? He told Director Zeng that he didn't want me? Then who did I give my role?"

"It shouldn't be, you're just unlucky. I'm going to work, so I won't talk now."

Withdraw the news, the casting director disappears.

It was supposed to be his role being snatched away, and no one can stand it if he changes to an actor. No, he has to find out who doesn’t have the eyes to steal his role.

Zhuang Qin is going to join the group again, this time it lasts for half a month.

Li Mu personally followed the nanny car and took him to the airport: "I really don't want me to accompany you?"

"I'll be back in half a month, I don't need it." After discussing with Director Zeng, he arranged the scenes for him. He could finish three scenes a day and two weeks.

Li Mu remembered what Zhuang Qin said last time and asked himself to go and see him while he was filming.

Why has it changed again, it becomes unnecessary?

Li Mu: "If you miss me, just call me."

Zhuang Qin said "Yes": "I can."

"I'll fight no matter how late I'm going to send a message after the show."

"Okay, I know."

"Don't run around in the crew." Li Mu knew they had a blasting scene to shoot, but he was still worried. "Safety needs to be checked. Did the director find a security expert? I'll send it there."

"There must be experts. The blasting scenes are very safe now, so don't worry about me."

Li Mu: "I'll be with you."

"No, I won't care about you when I'm filming. I'll take time to coax you when you're angry," said Zhuang Qin, "I'm so tired."

"It's very tiring to coax me?"

The little Lian sitting in front of him silently put on his headphones, feeling a little tired of watching others fall in love.

The nanny's car was parked at the entrance of the airport. Zhuang Qin put on a hat and mask in the car. Xiao Lian got out of the car to get his luggage.

Zhuang Qin was about to get off the car: "I'm leaving."

Li Mu handed him the schoolbag: "Will I go in with you?"

"If you were ten centimeters shorter," 1.8 meters tall would be less conspicuous, and would not be easily recognized by anyone. "I'm going down." Zhuang Qin lowered his head and said, "Your hand."

Li Mu was still holding his hand.

Li Musong took a moment, pulled him back, hugged him, kissed his chin through the mask, and let go: "Go."

Zhuang Qin didn't move. He took off his mask, then leaned over and kissed Li Mu's lips. He stayed for a second or two and separated, and his fingers stroked his eyelashes: "I'm leaving."

"Um."

The temperature in his arms disappeared. Li Mu watched him get out of the car and went in with his assistant. His back completely disappeared, so that the driver could drive away.

He was not doing nothing, but because he didn't need to inherit his family business, he had no responsibilities on his shoulders, and the family environment allowed him to do whatever he wanted without being shackled. In the past, he might have been flying all over the world, listening to operas and musicals, and various extreme sports, but now he suddenly felt like he was running and wanted to be at his side.

Director Zeng’s crew was treated similarly to Director Jiang’s. Because it was a war film, the studio and outdoor scene were remote, and there was not even a good hotel nearby, and the accommodation environment was quite harsh.

On the first night of joining the group, Zhuang Qin read the scripts with several supporting actors who were going to play opposite him. Because his identity and status were different, the other actors and staff in the group all had an inexplicable respect for him.

It's different from what Zhuang Qin had felt in other crews before.

On other crews, the staff may be respectful and polite on the surface, but they like to discuss his background behind their backs, and even guess whether he has a financial backs and which boss the financial backs are, and look down on them in person.

It’s different from Director Zeng.

I could feel that I was really awe of his current achievements and strength, and even felt fearful and jealous, and perhaps even jealous, but no one would think that he was easy to bully at a young age.

When I went to the notice, I could feel this change caused by different identities, but Zhuang Qin was still working diligently to film, and asked staff to drink drinks after work. He was not good at playing big names and was very polite to everyone.

In addition to filming, Zhuang Qin also went to Director Zeng to secretly learn his storyboard. Director Zeng was also happy to teach him: "Do you have done the homework assigned to you?"

"The script has been revised, the actor... I don't know who to look for, I wrote the storyboard, and I have drawn a lot of storyboard pictures. I will not be able to hand in my homework next year." It's too complicated to make a movie, and it's completely different from shooting a short video.

Every move of an actor must be designed. Wherever he goes, the lighting must be followed, and the editing is not coherent, because as the camera moves and the characters move, various needs will be generated. What appears is multiple moving spaces, not a single space, and the difficulty is even greater. When Zhuang Qin studied it, he found how difficult it is. He had to consider how the composition of the elements in each space is arranged, and the echo of each space... It is one thing to shoot, but it is another thing to shoot beautifully. He was still in the experiment stage and felt that he was brain-burning, let alone shooting.

"No hurry to eat this, I can't eat a fat man in one breath. I have a smaller appetite, so don't be too big. Looking at this camera, can you tell what you can see?" Director Zeng pointed to the screen.

Zhuang Qin saw it and said, "Far from the Vision."

"According to the script, there should be a close-up, why do I only shoot the long-range scene?"

He read the full script. Zhuang Qin remembered the description of this scene. He was the queen who escaped from the birth of the emperor. The prisoner of war ran to the hillside. The light of dawn lit up. After the gunshot, the prisoner of war fell to the ground and was hit.

Logically speaking, there is a close-up here, which Director Zeng deleted.

Zhuang Qin pondered for a moment and said, "The picture is still, and the whole depressing atmosphere comes out. The distance is more blank than the close-up leaves, so people should stand in the picture."

"Yes, the feelings are in the scenery, you understand very well."

Each director has his own different filming style. In half a month of filming, Zhuang Qin learned a lot of practical experience from Director Zeng. He plays a tragic character with great pressure and has to take into account learning to make movies. He only slept for four or five hours a day. Li Mu sometimes talked to him about the phone, and as he talked, he fell asleep when he heard him making a phone call.

Li Mu knew that he had fallen asleep, and did not speak or hung up the phone, so he listened quietly to his sleeping breathing.

Zhuang Qin completed the shooting task ahead of schedule and originally wanted to stay two more days to study, but he rushed home on Li Mu's birthday and didn't continue. However, Director Zeng said that he could come to watch the shooting at any time when he had time.

"Go home after finishing the filming and give yourself a short vacation."

Zhuang Qin even rarely updated his Weibo updates, without saying where to shoot or what movie was completed. He posted a selfie wearing a black hoodie on the plane and half-covered his face.

In the past, the studio helped him get an account. If the agent didn't ask, he might not send a picture a year.

After the plane took off, Zhuang Qin turned on the flight mode.

Li Mu knew the flight number and drove out to pick him up. Thinking of him having an assistant, he called the company driver. He arrived at the airport early and had nothing to do. He kept looking at the phone and reminded the plane that it had landed. He suddenly saw him posting a selfie and chose the clothes he wore for him. As a result, many girlfriends came out and called her husband. Her husband was open for business. Her husband was so handsome. Those who praised me were Zhuang Qin's wife and so on.

Li Mu was almost so angry that he couldn't help but report it.

Then he couldn't help but comment.
