Chapter 194 Beyond Expectations
June 16th, the weather is sunny today, suitable for starting the machine.
Location: In front of the snack bar, a few tables are set up outside and everything is ready.
At 10:05 am, several media outlets arrived, including Gu Tianqi from Chaohuo Entertainment. In addition, there were three other media outlets who had received the news in advance and arrived.
That’s right, the filming of “The Hidden Corner” is still in the confidential stage, and no one else knows about it except these four media outlets.
Otherwise, given the current popularity of Baiqian Media, how could there be only these four media outlets?
Not to mention that this is the second part of the mystery trilogy.
If you think about it you will understand.
"The Undocumented Crime" was a huge hit, while other online criminal investigation dramas flopped. Even the highly anticipated "The Hidden Murderer" is showing signs of flop. In this case, how can "The Bad Kids" not become extremely popular after it starts filming?
But for some reason, Yu Xiaoshu only notified four media outlets.
Everyone knows that entertainment reporters grab the first-hand information, and these four media outlets will not disclose the news to other people.
Not to mention Gu Tianqi, she is almost becoming the exclusive reporter of Baiqian Media. Gu Tianqi will be wherever Baiqian Media is.
The other three media outlets are qualified to come to the launch site for follow-up reporting, but Gu Tianqi will have an exclusive interview later.
This interview is truly exclusive.
At the scene, the actors did not chat happily because they were not familiar with each other. Instead, they all remained silent.
The only people I know are probably Lin Feiyang and Feng Jie.
"Originally, I was looking forward to having some scenes with you."
Lin Feiyang said with a smile: "What a pity."
Feng Jie also smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't true? But I believe we will definitely have a chance in the future."
“There’s definitely a chance.”
Lin Feiyang said: "As long as Xiaoshu continues to write scripts, and as long as the two of us don't retire, there will always be opportunities."
Both of them are a bit of a drama fanatic, and good actors can complement each other. During the filming of "The Undocumented Crime", Lin Feiyang and Feng Jie had a lot of fun acting together.
But in this "Hidden Corner", Feng Jie only made a cameo appearance.
"Don't worry, you two will definitely have rival scenes in the next play."
Just as the two were chatting, Yu Xiaoshu walked over with a smile and said.
"Little tree."
"Little tree."
Feng Jie and Lin Feiyang both turned around and laughed: "Then we'll just have to wait."
"Senior, let's shoot your scene later. This will be the first scene of our "Hidden Corner"."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Feng Jie with a smile.
Feng Jie nodded gently: "Okay, no problem."
"Well, the kid who plays Yan Liang, you can help him to act and get him into the mood as soon as possible."
Yu Xiaoshu spoke up.
After all, it was the opening scene, and Yu Xiaoshu was worried that the child would be a little nervous and unable to follow it.
Feng Jie said, "Okay, no problem."
At this time, Feng Yue, the producer of "Hidden Corner", came over and said, "Teacher Yu, everything is ready."
"Okay, let's get started."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded slightly.
It is necessary to worship gods before turning on the machine. This ceremony is also indispensable on Yuanxing.
After going through the whole process, Zhang Yi shouted excitedly: "I now declare that the filming of "The Hidden Corner" has officially started!"
As soon as he finished speaking, reporters from the four media outlets started snapping photos.
Since these four media outlets have been invited, the invitation cannot be in vain. Now that they are here, Yu Xiaoshu asked Sean to accept the interview and focus on some news about "The Hidden Corner" with the reporters.
Not only that, the propaganda department had also sent the promotional materials to reporters long ago.
As for Yu Xiaoshu, he accepted an exclusive interview with Gu Tianqi.
For example, what story does "The Hidden Corner" tell?
There is also the fact that "The Bad Kids" will have some connections with "The Undocumented", but there is no strict relationship between them.
Other questions about the actors were also answered one by one.
It took a total of one hour from the start-up and worship to the interview, which was relatively fast, and some trivial procedures were simply omitted.
"Okay, start clearing the field. Field attendant, field attendant, take people to draw all the marks."
Zhang Yi began to give orders loudly: "We will start shooting in 10 minutes."
The crew started to get busy.
This is a fried dough sticks stall, so the other extras need to fill up the chairs and stools.
"Just sit here for a while and eat as you like. Don't look up."
"Don't worry, everyone. We have registered your lunch."
"Yes, just sit like this. You can look around, but don't look at the camera."
…
The stage manager began to explain to the extras how to do it.
The other side.
The cameras, lights, speakers, etc. all started to be checked. After all, the scene had already been arranged before the filming started.
"Yan Ming, don't be nervous. We won't officially start filming in a while. We'll just go through it first."
Zhang Yi said to Yan Ming: "Have you memorized all the lines?"
"Yes, I remember them all."
Yan Ming said hurriedly.
"good."
Zhang Yi gently patted Yan Ming's shoulder, then came to Cao Rui and said, "Xiao Rui, you should watch first when the filming starts. Your scene will also start filming later."
Cao Rui nodded sullenly.
"Don't worry, Lao Zhang. Xiao Rui has memorized the script by heart these days."
Seeing his son seemed to be in a trance, Cao Xiao said hurriedly: "It's okay."
Zhang Yi didn't say anything, he just spoke a few more words to Song Yi.
After all, Zhang Yi has read the script of this play several times. The real ceiling of this play lies in three actors. These three actors can be said to have truly determined the ceiling of "The Hidden Corner".
When it came to "The Undocumented", Li Toyota was enshrined as a god with "The Undocumented".
Whether the drama "The Hidden Corner" can become a hit depends on the performance of Zhu Chaoyang, Yan Liang and Pupu.
For this reason, Zhang Yi must be cautious.
If "The Hidden Corner" failed, Zhang Yixiu said he would feel sorry for Yu Xiaoshu, and he thought he might be eliminated.
Recently, Zhang Yi has learned that Jiang Bo will come to film "Go Go Squid!" and Chen Fang will come to film "All Is Well." According to Song Qing, he will film another online movie starring Yu Xiaoshu.
Think about it, Baiqian Media has a total of 4 directors.
This might be a big test.
There is no future for those who only know how to be bootlickers.
Yu Xiaoshu said that what he needed was not a tool, but a qualified tool.
So here comes the question.
What does it take to be a qualified tool person?
Of course, I have to strictly implement Yu Xiaoshu’s instructions, but also have my own ideas and then shoot the work well.
Precisely because of this, Zhang Yi can be said to have not dared to relax at all recently.
More importantly, Zhang Yi thinks he is his absolute confidant. Yu Xiaoshu has not paid attention to the other three dramas, but he came from the imperial capital to Hong Kong to focus on "The Hidden Corner". What does this mean? ?
This shows that Yu Xiaoshu values himself more.
Zhang Yi would never let Yu Xiaoshu down no matter what.
He must make "The Bad Kids" well.
It is for Yu Xiaoshu, and also for himself.
"Director Zhang, everything is settled."
The groundskeeper came over and said to Zhang Yi.
"Yes, I understand. All departments should prepare."
Zhang Yi turned around and came to Yu Xiaoshu: "Teacher Yu, look..."
"You don't need to ask me. You are the director. Everything depends on you. If I feel something is wrong, I will point it out. But before that, shoot at a pace that will deduct my money."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand slightly and said, "Lao Zhang, you know I'm going to be very busy, so I can't stay here for too long."
"Teacher Yu, I know. Don't worry, I will never let you down."
Zhang Yi said hurriedly.
really.
Teacher Yu loves me the most.
At this time, Zhang Yi felt that what he thought was right, so he sat back behind the camera, picked up the intercom and said: "All departments, get ready, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1"
After Zhang Yi finished shouting, on the other side, the lighting, speakers, camera and other departments all said: OK.
"The Hidden Corner, Scene 5, first time."
The stagehand came to the center and held up the stagehand board and said, "Ai Keshen!"
At this time, "The Hidden Corner" officially started filming.
The camera moves from far to near, and then freezes on Yan Liang.
Yan Ming was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, carrying a canvas bag, and came to Zhang Jingsen looking dirty.
"Uncle Zhang, Yan Liang."
Yan Ming said to Feng Jie.
"Okay, okay, come and sit down."
Feng Jie asked Yan Ming to sit down.
"Order something."
Feng Jie said.
Yan Ming waved his hand: "No need, Uncle Zhang, I've eaten."
At this time, Feng Jie took out his fan and fanned himself while saying, "Oh, look, since Abin, your father's accident, I haven't seen you again."
Yan Ming said: "Besides my father, there is no one else at home. After he was arrested, I was sent to an orphanage and I haven't seen him since."
"oh."
Feng Jie fanned himself deliberately and sped up his voice: "Good welfare house, good welfare, good welfare? Are you on holiday now?"
"Uncle Zhang, let me tell you the truth. I ran away. I came here to see my dad and to borrow some money from you."
Yan Ming said: "My father said at that time that if I encounter any problems, I will come to you."
…
Because this was a first pass, it seemed like the production staff had made the decision, but filming had not started yet.
Mainly just take a look.
Zhang Yi nodded secretly.
This young actor Yan Ming is quite good. Although there are some traces of acting, he is not nervous at all facing such a veteran actor like Feng Jie, nor does he feel at a disadvantage.
You have to know that many veteran actors have a strong aura, and more importantly, sometimes the picture will be disharmonious.
One is acting and the other is having a facial paralysis.
Out of place.
"Teacher Yu, how is it?"
Zhang Yi turned around and asked.
Although Yu Xiaoshu said that there was no need to ask him everything, he still had to ask.
What's more, after a few days he wouldn't be able to ask even if he wanted to.
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"Very good. I didn't expect Yan Ming to have such solid dialogue skills. He's even better than some popular artists."
Zhang Yi said: "Of course, there are still some traces of performance, but it is still acceptable."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "I think so too."
"Okay, then Mr. Yu, let's officially start filming."
Zhang Yi said hurriedly.
Yu Xiaoshu said: "Okay."
The two of them were discussing all about Yan Ming and didn't say a word about Feng Jie.
Why?
Because there is absolutely no need to say it.
Feng Jie's acting skills are believable. Another point is that Yan Ming's acting just now looked comfortable because Feng Jie was lifting Yan Ming.
If Feng Jie really showed off his acting skills, Yan Ming would not be able to withstand it.
Of course, Zhang Yi still came and said a few words to Yan Ming before filming started.
"Director, is there something wrong?"
Yan Ming asked nervously.
"Don't be nervous. Your performance is already pretty good. But you have to remember that Yan Liang believes in Zhang Jinglin at this time, but you don't know what 300,000 means. You only know that it is a lot of money..."
Zhang Yi gave Yan Ming another brief explanation.
Think about it, let alone Yan Liang, even if your relatives or friends suddenly asked you to borrow 300,000 yuan, would you dare to lend it? ?
Let alone 300,000 yuan, in today's society, it's not easy to borrow even 10,000 yuan.
But this does not mean that Zhang Jinglin has no problems.
It can be said that Yan Liang and Pupu’s experiences had a lot to do with Zhang Jinglin, and Zhang Jinglin even changed Yan Liang’s life.
According to the plot, Yan Liang's father Yan Wenbin was imprisoned because Zhang Jinglin led a group of people to fight.
Originally, Yan Wenbin just went to help, but ended up in jail. Then in the end, Yan Wenbin believed that Zhang Jinglin was a good brother, and told his son Yan Liang to go to Zhang Jinglin if he had any difficulties.
What a result.
When Zhang Jinglin heard that Yan Liang wanted to borrow 300,000 yuan, he immediately called the police to arrest Yan Liang.
That's exactly why Yan Liang and Pupu could only think of other solutions.
"The Hidden Corner, Scene 5, Time 1."
The stage manager immediately made the decision: "It can be reviewed!"
Filming officially begins.
After the official filming started, Yan Ming was even stronger than before.
When Feng Jie heard that Yan Liang actually wanted to borrow 300,000 yuan, he was a little shocked for a moment, and his facial expressions were truly unique.
Originally, Zhang Jinglin thought that he had done his best by giving 300 yuan, but he never expected that this kid would ask for 300,000 yuan right away? ?
Does he know what 300,000 means?
So Feng Jie talked about how difficult business was, and then took the 300 yuan back.
kindness.
Not a penny was given to Yan Liang.
Finally, he told Yan Liang that he was going to buy a pack of cigarettes, but ended up calling the police.
"good."
After the scene was shot, Zhang Yi called out "Cut," "Very good, perfect, Yan Ming, you did a great job. Let's take a break first."
During the break, Zhang Yi continued to explain the play to Yan Ming.
Because this scene shows Yan Liang's character to the fullest: he is simple, passionate, righteous, and has the shyness that only a teenager can have. He is obviously very hungry, but he tells Zhang Jinglin that he has already eaten.
Next, Yan Liang took the fried dough sticks and put them into his schoolbag, and then gave them to Pupu.
After a 5-minute break, continue shooting.
At 2 p.m., the media press release about "The Hidden Corner" had already come out.
