After witnessing the crew's opening ceremony with Wang Siyi, the crew was finally about to start work. Li Changle and Wang Siyi watched with interest as the entire crew bustled around in an orderly manner.
As for the actors, they rehearse their lines with the assistant director, and occasionally discuss with him how to express emotions, etc.
As director, Guo Zongming had to coordinate the operations of the entire crew, which involved a lot of complicated tasks. Li Changle could hear his voice from far away, and occasionally he would scold him.
Li Changle finally understood how Guo Zongming got his Mediterranean hairstyle. If he continued to be a director for a few more years and made a few more movies, the Mediterranean might turn into the Sahara Desert, leaving nothing behind.
"It seems that filming is not an easy thing. I used to think that all I needed was a good script." Li Changle looked at Guo Zongming's bald head, touched his hair, and dispelled the idea of wanting to be a director in his heart.
Li Changle complained in his heart. He had read time-travel novels before, in which people traveled to a world of entertainment and could easily become directors. It turned out that they were all lies. Isn't this nonsense?
When Wang Siyi heard what Li Changle said, she immediately rolled her eyes at Li Changle. As someone in the entertainment industry, although she had no experience in filming, she knew that if she wanted to make a good movie and then present it to the public, the process would definitely not be smooth.
"What are you thinking? If that were the case, then we would all be directors."
Li Changle smiled awkwardly. He had indeed thought too simply before. He said with some emotion, "To be honest, I used to think about setting up our own film and television company, and then writing our own scripts and shooting them ourselves. Now I think it's too complicated. Not to mention the twists and turns, just the coordination of this set is not something that ordinary people can do well."
"Why bother with all that? It's not like you don't have money. If you need it, I'll give it to you. You'll probably be even more exhausted tinkering with all this than I was when I was running promotions at New Arts. Or do you just want to see me a few times a month?"
Wang Siyi frowned and looked at Li Changle, obviously not agreeing with this idea. If that were the case, she would have finally gained her freedom, but Li Changle would have trapped her again. Then what would be the point of leaving Xinyi and setting up a studio? Wasn't it originally for the purpose of spending more time with Li Changle?
She had never seen many directors who were relatively idle, especially when filming. They would stay on the crew almost 31 out of 30 days a month, so their tone of voice was much more serious.
Li Changle found that Wang Siyi strongly disagreed with this matter. She didn't have much of an opinion about it, so she gave up the idea and hurried to coax Wang Siyi. When she mentioned this, Wang Siyi became a little anxious.
In the morning, it seemed that everything was ready and ready to start filming. However, before filming started, Guo Zongming let the entire crew take a break so that everyone could get into the right state. He took this opportunity to visit Li Changle.
Guo Zongming was very happy to see Li Changle coming. He walked over and extended his hand, "Sorry, Changle, there's a lot on the crew, and I have to take care of almost everything. I'm sorry to have neglected you today."
The two shook hands briefly, and after letting go, Li Changle quickly said, "No problem, we're sorry to bother you today. We're just here to broaden our horizons. Director Guo, don't worry too much about us. Just go about your business."
I was used to seeing Guo Zongming yelling and occasionally swearing in the crew, but now I see him speaking in a gentle and polite manner, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Do all directors have two personalities and can switch their personalities at will?
Guo Zongming didn't know what Li Changle was thinking, but he felt that Li Changle's presence today was a real honor. He thought this person was someone he could definitely get along with. "I haven't come across such a good script in a long time, so I must strive for perfection during filming, otherwise I will be sorry for such a good story you wrote."
Guo Zongming patted Li Changle's shoulder. This was not really a compliment. For Guo Zongming, he had been away from the TV drama industry for almost five or six years. This industry was full of talented people, and every year some excellent directors and works emerged.
Of course, he wanted to make a movie before, but he also had his own principles. The script must be good. He would not shoot a script that was below his standards no matter what. If the script turned out not to be good, then the reputation he had built up over the past few decades would be wasted.
But it's not a good idea to have no movies to shoot, because if you don't have any new works, people will forget you sooner or later. Guo Zongming waited for several years, but either the script was not suitable, or the investors had too many demands, or the actors were too outrageous. In short, there were all kinds of reasons, and he just couldn't continue filming.
Guo Zongming, who had been planning to retire, was so disheartened that he went out to travel and relax. Unexpectedly, Huang Wenchuan called him, and the script he had been waiting for for a long time appeared.
So no matter what, he has to seize this opportunity. "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is Li Changle's masterpiece, which makes everyone remember Li Changle. For Guo Zongming, it is a comeback work, which makes everyone think of him.
It is for this reason that Guo Zongming is particularly concerned about the TV series "Chinese Paladin". From selection to crew preparation, to command on the set, Guo Zongming has taken care of almost every detail, and everything is done strictly according to his standards.
At the moment, although it hasn’t started filming yet, but based on this momentum, it should be pretty good.
