When Liu Wangxue was in college, he was invited by a senior in the directing department to help him write a script for a micro-film and basically followed the entire filming process.
But this was just a spur of the moment idea on the part of the senior, who just wanted to get others together to play around with it. After the production was completed and the work was submitted for a competition, it didn't win any awards.
Later, he joined Shenghai Entertainment, but because Tang Songhe deliberately made things difficult for him, Liu Wangxue had no chance to join the group.
In many cases, she heard it from newcomers of the same period or some seniors. Looking back now, she can still remember a lot.
Generally speaking, there are two types of screenwriters on the set. One is to change the script according to shooting requirements.
The so-called "shooting needs" come from many aspects, such as the adjustment of actors' schedules, which requires early completion of filming; indoor scenes are changed to outdoor scenes due to funding issues of the crew; the addition and modification of scenes by relatives; the scenes in the script cannot be realized; advertising placement; special effects, makeup, art, etc., etc.
These all need to be temporarily adjusted by the scriptwriter based on the actual situation.
The second type is to be responsible for writing unfinished scripts in the crew.
For example, when some crews start filming, they only finalize the scripts for the first few episodes. What to do with the rest? They can just shoot first and write later.
Liu Wangxue remembered that a newcomer in the same group did the second type of work. He went to Hengdian for three months and lost ten pounds. After returning, he looked like he had survived a disaster and complained to her all day.
Usually, the first type of work is not that demanding, and you can have a lot of free time. You can go to the set to watch the filming and go for a walk around.
Sometimes when the crew is short of funds, I will be asked to make a guest appearance.
No matter which one it was, Liu Wangxue remembered that they had common experiences and feelings after they came back.
Liu Wangxue remembers someone saying, "As a screenwriter, if you can go to the shooting site, you must go. The sooner you go, the more help you can get. You must also calm down and immerse yourself in the shooting site for a while, immersively and intuitively experiencing the entire process of transforming your script from text to image. In this process, you may feel that your creative concept is being reshaped."
Someone else said: "My teacher is right. The most effective and fastest way to make a screenwriter grow is to throw him to the shooting site. If he can cope with the requirements of the crew, then he will have a qualitative leap both technically and psychologically."
Someone else said: "If you have the opportunity to participate in a big-budget film or TV project, you must seize it, because it will be a very precious experience. Any emotion you experience in the process will be magnified many times."
After the first day of filming, these words kept replaying in Liu Wangxue's mind. She was very glad that she did not refuse Du Yunxiang's request. If she insisted on not following the group, she might never have experienced these things.
Liu Wangxue also understood the feelings of her colleagues after they came back from the set and complained to her: "The most profound memory of this job is not the hardship and humiliation, nor the connections I made, but the fact that after each clapboard was hit and the shooting started, each group of people performed their duties in the quiet scene, and I watched the scenes created by the actors, director and others through the monitor. This was the most wonderful experience."
However, at the end of the day's shooting, it seemed that the only people who had a wonderful experience were Liu Wangxue and the villagers of Taojia Village.
There is no need to say much about Liu Wangxue, it can be regarded as a form of sublimation in her career path.
The villagers of Taojia Village now have something more to talk about after dinner.
The first scene filmed this morning was the conflict of "favoring boys over girls" at the dinner table.
The reason was that the heroine realized her lack of professional knowledge in the process of making Hanfu, so she wanted to go back to high school to repeat her studies and take the college entrance examination to study fashion design, so she went home to discuss it with her parents.
But her parents did not support her. They thought she was wasting time and money learning useless things, so they asked her to go back to the city and work hard in her cousin's flower shop to earn money and support the family.
The heroine originally wanted to have a good talk with her parents, but at noon, her brother who was a freshman in high school came home from school. The first thing he said when he entered the door was to ask for money from his family to buy a new brand of sneakers, saying that all his classmates were wearing them.
When the mother heard that it was more than 1,000 yuan, she was shocked and immediately refused. But my brother kept making a fuss to buy it, and the whole family couldn't eat lunch in peace.
In the end, there was no other choice, so the mother asked the heroine to pay for the purchase for her brother.
Of course the heroine was unwilling. During the past few months that she had been working, her brother asked her for pocket money from time to time, and she gave him all of it. However, buying shoes was a big expense, and now she didn't even have enough money to buy fabric.
Then her father and grandparents put pressure on her and said some words that favored boys over girls.
The heroine has heard these words since she was a child. She just listened to them and did the same thing before, but today she felt that these words were particularly harsh. She put down her chopsticks and refuted a few words.
A conflict broke out, and the mother was so angry that she went straight into the heroine's bag, took out all the cash in her wallet and gave it to her younger brother, and also confiscated her bank card.
The heroine failed in her fight and was accused of being unfilial. She ran out of the house in anger and did not come back for many years.
Jing Yujun put the intense family conflict in the first scene after filming started, hoping that Ni Jia could quickly understand the character and get into the mood.
Jing Yujun's attitude towards new actors is 50-50, good and bad.
If he meets a talented newcomer, he is willing to spend time polishing him. If a newcomer can carve out a role in his hands, then this person's future acting career will be much smoother.
Therefore, Jing Yujun is also known as the "touchstone for newcomers" in the industry. But he is too strict, and some haters call him "grindstone", saying that he broke his own giegie's good knife.
The drama "Moon Over Spring Stream" has a tight schedule and heavy tasks. Jing Yujun originally did not want to spend time on training newcomers and preferred to choose the experienced Tan Xin to be the female lead. Unfortunately, Tan Xin did not live up to the expectations.
Therefore, he had to use this method, hoping that Ni Jia could achieve quick success.
Ni Jia herself is a young girl with talented acting skills. It should be said that people signed by Yunxi Entertainment have good qualifications, and with such a rigorous training course, everyone thinks she should be able to do the job.
Indeed, if her performance were put in the current circle, she could basically beat all the young actresses.
But Jing Yujun's favorite thing to do is to strive for perfection. Moreover, this drama will be sent to the national TV station, so he cannot relax even a little bit.
He stared at the monitor and sighed in his heart: "I still need to spend some time polishing it."
As a result, the first scene was shot from morning to afternoon.
