Chapter 187 First Day
Shi Feiye had originally thought that she should get up early so that she could communicate with everyone, but it was only a little after eight o'clock, and there were still nearly two hours before the opening at ten in the morning, so she simply packed up and went to the film and television city for a stroll.
The scenes in various places in the film and television city here are different, and she didn't know which venue her own crew rented. After entering, she found that some places had been rented and could not be entered, while some were open.
Although the film and television city looks interesting, the layout of the building is not perfect. The costume and props staff of the crew have to arrange it again before filming can begin. The people in the film and television city will not take care of these.
She strolled around and found that there were already tourists walking around inside at this time. Compared with others who were very excited, she was relatively calm. This was mainly because she had visited ancient towns many times when she was in college, so she didn't feel anything when she saw these antique buildings.
After walking around, looking around and taking pictures, seeing that the time was almost up, Shi Feiye quickly went back to wait for the opening ceremony.
When they arrived, most people had already arrived. Most of them didn't know each other, so they just greeted each other. Shi Feiye was no exception. Because of the treatment she had received from sitting at the first table last night, and the fact that she was an assistant screenwriter rather than an actress, she was not in competition with other stars, so people around her were kind to her.
The opening ceremony was very lively. After it, everyone ate lunch boxes together and then started to arrange work. Shi Feiye's task was relatively simple. It was to follow Haidong and wait to see if he needed anything, or to take care of him when he was too busy. Generally speaking, there was not much pressure and it was quite easy.
When everyone was setting up the scene, Shi Feiye followed Hai Dong. Hai Dong was discussing the details of the plot to be filmed tomorrow with Director Wang, and Shi Feiye listened carefully beside him. Although she could follow an entire crew, she did not have as much experience as Hai Dong.
The other party talked about a lot of technical things, of which she had only a vague concept before, but after listening, she understood what was going on. Following the other party, she was indeed able to learn a lot.
Director Wang also has a great grasp of the plot. Because of the details of the plot, he even specifically asked someone to explain the costumes and props.
The assistant director is usually responsible for selecting other supporting roles before filming and contacting the roles after filming. He is not here at the moment. Shi Feiye and the others are in a side room and can see what is happening outside. The main characters are studying the script in another room, and everyone is doing their own job.
It was quite noisy outside, as most people were setting up the scene. Shi Feiye didn't go outside either. It was so messy and she didn't want to join in the fun.
Director Wang and Haidong had almost finished their discussion, so Director Wang hurried out to see how the arrangements were going. Haidong turned around and asked Shi Feiye:
"I didn't bother to ask you before, do you have any opinions or suggestions on my adapted script? Don't worry about offending me or being embarrassed to say it. After all, you are the original author. Maybe my changes are inappropriate. Just tell me and we can reconsider it."
Shi Feiye shook his head and said, "The script you adapted is great, and it's more complete than what I wrote before. I thought some parts were not appropriate before, but after I learned about the requirements of the radio and television department, I studied it carefully and found that the changes were very reasonable. I haven't found any problems so far. But after reading the script you adapted, I feel like I've learned a lot."
As a girl, she has actually been trying her best to overcome her emotional factors to make the script reasonable, but she still has her own limitations. After Hai Dong's adaptation, it can be clearly found that there are many more rational factors, and the whole drama is more reasonable.
"But a lot of the sentimental things in your novel have been cut. This is the characteristic of your writing, but it is really hard to express. I have tried my best to retain it, but the effect is not very good."
When Haidong talked to Shi Feiye, he did not act arrogantly because he was a famous screenwriter. Instead, he was quite humble:
"If you have a better way to preserve this feature, then maybe the effect will be better. You know, this represents more than just the so-called literary style."
Shi Feiye didn't expect to get Haidong's recognition, and she was quite happy, but she didn't have a good way to deal with it at the moment:
“Making the framing as soft as possible might work, and adding a little inner monologue is also a way to enhance it. Other things are hard to do, and if the degree is not controlled well, it will easily become a funny element. I don’t have a better way. However, although there are fewer emotional factors in the plot, the rational factors also make the plot more reasonable, which should be better than my one.”
"Let's do it this way for now. Let's shoot for the next two days, and then we'll see how to adjust it." Hai Dong told Shi Feiye something else.
"You are new here. Watch carefully how the actors express their emotions and interpret the plot. It will only benefit you. Think more and consider more about everything, and you will grow slowly."
Shi Feiye knew that Haidong really treated her as a novice and was teaching her, so she quickly responded:
"Well, I will remember to observe more, record more, and think more. Thank you, Teacher Hai."
Hai Dong nodded: "Let's go out and take a look. In the crew, any aspect may be involved with the plot. Learning more will help you grasp the plot."
So the two of them went out together to see how the scene was arranged. On the way, some people greeted Haidong, basically they were the main persons in charge. Haidong would also communicate with them, allowing Shi Feiye to learn a lot of things that he didn't understand before.
From this perspective, the popularity of the drama in her previous life was largely due to the director and other responsible persons. She was probably only good at the story, and the other adjustments were guided by others. The director did not replace her in order to use the title of "adapted by the original author". It was really a fluke.
After figuring this out, Shi Feiye observed more seriously. If he wanted to develop in this direction in this life, he still had to study hard. Of course, he had learned a lot in his previous life, but it was not enough.
The day seemed hectic but was actually quite orderly. It was nine o'clock in the evening when I got home. I had a box lunch on the crew for dinner. The box lunch was not very delicious, so Shi Feiye didn't eat much. On the way back, I passed by a porridge shop and packed a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge.
I went back to the hotel and took a quick shower. Just as I came out and opened the porridge, the phone rang.
When she picked up her phone and saw who was calling, she realized that she had forgotten about Mr. Qin:
"Hey, I just got back."
"Are you busy so late?" Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Qin Buzhu's somewhat restless heart calmed down. It was already half past nine, and there was still no news at this time. He couldn't concentrate on reading the information, so he had to free his hands to make a phone call.
"Yeah, it's the first day, so there are a lot of things to arrange. But that's how filming works. It's inevitable that you won't be able to take care of time on the set. Today is actually considered early, and sometimes when you're in a hurry to shoot the evening scenes, it's normal not to rest all night."
"Can your body handle it?" Qin Buzhu frowned. If someone familiar with him saw this look, they would know that he was not very happy.
"Yes, I am the screenwriter, so I am not necessarily on the set all the time. We can take a break occasionally when the actors are filming. The crew often prepares portable beds, so if you are tired, you can find a room to sleep for a while."
Shi Feiye said this, but it was just that. No matter what, the crew was always very noisy, and most people couldn't sleep unless they were very tired.
Qin Buzhu naturally knew that Shi Feiye was just denying it verbally, and he couldn't say that he wouldn't let Shi Feiye be the screenwriter, so he had to change the subject: "How do you feel about the first day?"
"It's great. Everyone is very friendly. Director Wang takes good care of me. Screenwriter Hai is also very nice to me. When I looked up information about him before, I saw that he doesn't like to interact with people, so I thought he would be difficult to get along with. Who knew that not only did he not give me the cold shoulder, he also gave me some advice on what I should do. He is really a nice person."
Shi Feiye really felt that she was quite lucky. Other crews had conflicts and quarrels, but this crew didn't have any. She was very lucky:
"I feel like I have learned a lot today alone. There are some things that I only had an idea of before, but now I understand what's going on. After the filming of this drama is finished, my ability should be greatly improved."
"Aren't you afraid of hard work?"
"Of course I'm not afraid. Isn't the purpose of life to see more scenery? The external scenery is scenery, and the scenery of knowledge and ability is also scenery. It's easy to see the external scenery, but it's difficult to see the scenery of knowledge and ability. For a better view, it's okay to suffer a little."
"Then you will definitely become better. Maybe in the future you will become a better screenwriter than Hai."
"That will definitely be many years later, but I will try my best. Your holographic online game will be released tomorrow. How are the preparations going? You are so capable, so everything should be ready, right?"
"You can wait and see the news tomorrow." Qin Buzhu raised the corners of his lips. Although he didn't care much about this, if someone was here, they would be able to see the high spirits revealed in him.
"Okay, tomorrow's hot searches will definitely all be about the holographic online game. Your Entertainment Company will once again become popular. It's a pity that I'm in the crew and can't play. This time it will definitely be more fun than the last test."
It would be fine if she didn't say it. Once she started talking about it, Shi Feiye felt very uncomfortable. She also wanted to play:
"This time, it should be a normal operation. Personal information will not be deleted, right?"
"Yes, this is the official operation, and there will be no more deletions in the future." Qin Buyu nodded, walked to the French window in the living room, and looked at the lights of thousands of houses:
"I'm afraid I'll have to work overtime tomorrow. If I don't reply to messages in time, it means I'm busy. Don't worry about me."
She was not worried. Boss Qin would officially rise tomorrow. Maybe he would return to the top tomorrow. That was a holographic online game. She didn't know how much money she could make just from those beautiful costumes.
