"Director Li, wait a minute, just ten minutes."
As soon as Lee Lik-chi finished speaking, Yuen Qiu-dan, who was removing her makeup in the distance, panicked. Her character was Sister Pomegranate, who was the source of all the comedic moments in the movie. How could they film anything while she was removing her makeup?
Li Lichi was about to lose his temper on the spot, but Chen Dong suppressed him, saying, "Don't rush, take your time drawing."
Yuen Qiu-dan felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and several makeup artists quickly touched up her makeup.
Li Lichi wanted to say something more, but Chen Dong stopped him, saying, "Director Li, girls all love to be pretty, it's only natural, let it go."
"All right!"
Li Lichi sighed. The boss had already spoken, so what could he say? He just glared at Yuan Qiongdan.
Zheng Peipei and the others were so shocked their eyes almost popped out.
"The boss can act?"
This is a question that remains in the minds of several people.
Nothing more!
They were whispering to each other, their attention completely drawn to Huang Zhan's words, so they had no time to pay attention to Ah Xing's performance. Therefore, it's understandable that they didn't see the eye-opening scene.
But how long has it been?
It will probably only take fifteen minutes at most. Director Li, who just said that today's filming was over, actually made everyone film it again.
What happened in those fifteen minutes?
Aside from Chen Dong giving Ah Xing pointers on filming, nothing else seemed to be happening.
From this perspective, the problem lies with Chen Dong.
There's no need to film it again, unless... Director Li is absolutely certain.
After all, the tape used for filming also costs money.
While everyone was preparing, Chen Dong was also observing the film crew. There were a few familiar faces, but a few others seemed to be absent from the set. Chen Dong asked them curiously.
"Director Li, I checked the set and it seems we're missing a few characters. What's going on?"
Chen Dong actually knows nothing about filmmaking; his knowledge is limited to the movies he has seen before, and he is completely unfamiliar with the filmmaking process.
Therefore, he asked these questions simply out of his curiosity about making movies, after all, it was a rare opportunity.
But Director Li heard it differently.
It was as if he was being questioned: why didn't you notice when there were fewer actors on set? What kind of director are you?
It was Chen Dong's performance that gave Li Lichi the wrong impression.
“Honey, this isn’t Director Li’s fault. I knew about it too. Because of the pay, some actors had very few scenes, so they only needed to finish their scenes at the end.”
"It would be a bit unreasonable to force them to stay on set."
This is an unspoken rule in the industry; everyone does it this way. Actors and entertainment companies all abide by this agreement, and no one says anything or asks.
Only someone as clueless as Chen Dong would ask such a question.
Chen Dong nodded, still feeling a little regretful.
Ten minutes later.
All actors are in position.
Director Li shouted loudly into the megaphone, "ACTION!"
"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom."
Ah Xing took a pair of chopsticks and began rhythmically tapping them on the three rice bowls.
"I live on the outskirts of SZ, with a house and fields, and I live a very happy life."
"Who knew that Tang Bohu was so tyrannical and ruthless, colluding with the government and acting with impunity, seizing my house and my land."
“My grandfather turned against him and was brutally beaten to death with a stick. My grandmother scolded him for deceiving the good people, but he caught her and took her to the Tang mansion. She was tortured a hundred times, a hundred times. In the end, she hanged herself, leaving behind a deep regret.”
He also drove my father and me out of our home and left us to wander by the river.
"To support my elderly father, I have no choice but to beg alone in front of the temple."
"......"
Completed in one go!
Ah Xing's performance was spot-on. He tapped the bowl smoothly and rhythmically, nodding his head up and down. When he recited the lines, everyone who heard them couldn't help but nod along with the rhythm.
Behind the camera.
Lee Lik-chi was very satisfied with the result of the filming and couldn't help but want to clap and praise it, but he forcibly held back.
About a minute later.
"Card!"
Lee Lik-chi smiled broadly, "Very good! This part is done."
"Qiuxiang, Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, Dongxiang... When I'm filming your side later, remember to coordinate with this rhythm, boom boom boom..."
"Haha, Director Li is so funny."
Everyone couldn't help but giggle.
Li Lizhi asked with a stern face, "Did you remember?"
"I've got it!"
The women responded in unison.
Li Lichi turned to Chen Dong with a smile and explained, "Boss, due to limitations, this piece of music can only be added during post-production. We really have very limited resources."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong instantly understood why the actors had to silently chant "boom boom boom, boom boom boom" during filming.
Chen Dong found it interesting, and time passed in this atmosphere.
On the other side.
Pengcheng Hotel, the venue for Sony's press conference.
Sato Tsutomu, dressed in a sharp suit, walked to the podium and began his formal speech.
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
Before it even started, countless flashes went off below the stage. Sony was releasing its most important news of the year in Shenzhen, and given the recent controversies, this would be tomorrow's headline news.
Nobody wants to fall behind others.
"Cough cough..."
Sato tested the microphone volume, and an echo reverberated through the room. Before the echo could fully reverberate, he continued speaking.
