Chapter 314 Filming
Fu Zheng was going to the company and dropped Wen Liang off at the door of the police station.
Wen Liang just drove his car back.
While on the road, Wen Liang received a call, and the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.
She put on her Bluetooth headset and answered the call, "Hello?"
A young and enthusiastic voice came from the other side, "Hello, Miss Wen?"
"It's me, and you are?"
"I'm Xiao Cheng, Director Song's assistant. Director Song has something to discuss with you. Are you free to come over now?"
Wen Liang was surprised for a moment, "What does Director Song want to talk to me about?"
Xiao Cheng said, "It's hard to explain over the phone right now. It seems to be about your role. If you have time, why don't you come to the set?"
Wen Liang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go over now."
After all, she did shoot a few scenes on the set.
After finding out the real reason why Chu Siyi was taken away by the police, the crew knew that Chu Siyi could not be saved and decided to replace her.
I should be looking for new roles now.
Maybe the scenes shot by Wen Liang will not be used.
Wen Liang turned around at the intersection ahead and headed to the set.
On the set, the staff hid aside, the actors were filming under the camera, and Director Song sat behind the monitor and stared seriously.
One actor laughed, and the scene had to be re-enacted twice.
Wen Liang found a seat next to the staff to watch.
During the performance, the actors expressed details and emotions inappropriately, so Director Song came over to demonstrate personally.
After the whole scene was finished, the actors went off stage to rest. Some took the script to prepare for the next scene, while others changed their looks.
The staff organized the scene and props.
Director Song sat in front of the monitor and watched the video he had just shot.
Wen Liang walked silently behind Director Song and his eyes fell on the monitor.
Director Song heard the noise and turned to look at Wen Liang, "Are you here?"
Wen Liang smiled, "Director Song, are you looking for me?"
"Wen Liang, what do you think of this scene? I always feel something is wrong." Director Song pointed at the monitor.
"Director Song, I don't understand this..."
"Don't be so modest. Haven't you produced a lot of commercials before? I heard you've been learning photography lately?"
Although the shooting content is different, they are both expressed in the language of the lens and have the same effect.
Director Song specifically learned about Wen Liang's work history and watched the works in which Wen Liang had clearly participated. He immediately began to appreciate this person.
"I'm only half-baked..."
"Hey, don't say that. I've seen your works, they're all pretty good. Otherwise, why would I ask you this?"
Seeing that Director Song was sincerely asking for her opinion, Wen Liang said, "Director Song, I'll tell you the truth then. Please don't laugh at me if I'm wrong."
So Director Song came to her just for this?
Is Director Song dissatisfied with the opinions of other assistant directors?
"No, no, just tell me."
Wen Liang looked back at the monitor, then circled a certain figure on the screen with his mouse. "Here, the young Taoist's posture is wrong. When he stopped running, his upper body leaned forward, giving off a sense of fatigue. He was making an abrupt stop. His legs should have been able to move forward and then hold onto them in time, so his upper body should have leaned back to convey the momentum of inertia. And here, from what I understand, this elder has a strong personality and likes to be in control. A shot that's sitting and looking down at him weakens his personality traits. Perhaps an upward angle would be better here..."
Wen Liang pointed out a few points that he felt were inappropriate, "...Director Song, I'm sorry for the embarrassing performance."
Director Song nodded as he listened, put his chin up and thought for a moment, then looked at Wen Liang with appreciation, "I think you're right about the details."
After saying that, he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted outside, "Don't change the scene yet, let's do that scene again!"
The staff was stunned and put the props back, while the assistants went to call the actors.
"Wait for me." Director Song put down the loudspeaker, walked outside, and called the actors and photographers together to discuss the scene.
After finishing the talk, we started filming again.
After performing it once, the actors were very skilled and got it right in one take.
Director Song returned to the monitor and replayed the scene. He nodded gently, "Not bad. This makes me feel much more comfortable."
Wen Liang smiled, "Director Song, do you have anything else to do?"
If everything is fine, she will leave first.
Director Song looked up when he heard that and said with a smile, "Yes, let's go sit over there and talk."
"Okay." Wen Liang responded, but felt a little surprised.
What else could it be?
I think her scenes should be deleted.
Wen Liang sat down opposite Director Song, and the assistant brought two glasses of water.
She gestured to her assistant to put it on the table and said with a smile, "Director Song, what do you want to say? Just tell me."
Director Song smiled and said, "Then I'll just say it straight."
"Um."
"Ms. Wen, I hope you can continue to play the role of Su Miao..."
"Okay...wait!"
Wen Liang looked at Director Song in surprise. Did she hear it right?
"Aren't you going to delete my scenes?"
She was already prepared to delete the scene because she didn't like being under the spotlight anyway.
"Who said they were going to delete your scenes? Was there something wrong with what Xiao Cheng conveyed, causing you to misunderstand?"
"No... He didn't say anything. I just thought of it myself. Isn't the crew recruiting Su Miao as an actress..."
Director Song crossed his fingers upon hearing this and said, "I did think about recruiting new actors, but as you know, filming requires schedules. Many actors' schedules are already full, so not many can join the crew right now."
"There are actors who have schedules coming to audition, but I'm not very satisfied. After thinking it over, I think it's better for you to try it."
Wen Liang immediately waved his hand, "No, Director Song, I can't act. I can play a stand-in who doesn't show my face, but I can't play a serious role."
"Don't be so quick to refuse. How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it?"
“I really can’t do it!”
"I've seen your work, and the actors' emotional expressions are very immersive. This is definitely due to you."
"That's all the director's fault, it has nothing to do with me."
"Then I'll be frank. The other works of the directors you've worked with are just average."
Wen Liang: “…”
She curled her lips and said, "Director Song, you really flatter me..."
"I'm telling the truth."
Seeing Wen Liang's resistance, Director Song began to have a serious talk with Wen Liang, "Wen Liang, I just call you Xiao Wen, don't you want to be an actor?"
Wen Liang hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I don't want people to focus their attention on me, with reporters and netizens watching everything I do."
Director Song started to talk about pyramid selling. "Actually, your worries are a bit unnecessary. This is the most insignificant thing to mention. The team will handle this kind of thing. What's the purpose of those paparazzi? Isn't it to make money? It doesn't matter whose money they make. So, look at the celebrities who have had their reputations ruined recently. Which one was reported by paparazzi? Weren't they all reported by others? So, you say that the paparazzi and everyone in the circle know about those bad things, but it's just a tacit understanding. No one wants to offend anyone. As long as you abide by the rules, what can the paparazzi and netizens do to you? They are just helpless and furious."
Wen Liang always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it. "But..."
Director Song suggested, "How about this, you act out a scene first. If you really can't do it, I won't force you."
Wen Liang hesitated for a moment, "Okay."
