Chapter 13 Come, Let Me Discuss the Script with You

playground, filming location
Wei Yang, who had just finished filming his own solo scene, was still wearing a military training uniform, and immediately entered the state of executive producer.

"The formation is spread out, and those who take props must be aligned."

"Listen to the password, try not to move around, let's rehearse first."

"Brother Fu (Assistant Director), you watch from below."

"..."

The small-cost crew has fewer people and more things, the division of powers is not careful, the stage affairs change to group performances, and it is common for the assistant director to also act as the stage assistant, and the producer is doing the work of the assistant director.

At this moment, when shooting a group play, because the signs have to be held according to the formation, rehearsals must be carried out before the official filming starts. If the director does not watch in person, then Wei Yang and the assistant director have to direct.

"The girls are standing together, that Xiao Zhao is short, come to the front, Sister Rong, squeeze to the side..."

Wei Yang stood on the podium, yelling with a loudspeaker against the sun, his mouth dry, and he experienced the sadness of a military training instructor.

"Director Liu, what do you think?"

After several rehearsals, it took shape before Liu Junjie came out of the shadows to have a look.

"Okay. Originally, the show was just practice, so it's fine if the posture is right."

The director nodded and started filming. This plot was a bet between the hero and the dean. The former used mathematical theory to direct the chaotic students to complete the team list, pretending to be a coward, and paving the way for the hero Science talent.

When the filming of this scene was over, Wei Yang couldn't help but smile wryly: "The male second just doesn't have human rights, so I'll queue up, but Brother Peng pretends to be forced."

Several people on the stage laughed. Fan Ming, who played the role of the teaching director, asked, "I think the script is well written. Yu Huai used mathematical formulas to direct. Why didn't you use it just now?"

"I won't."

Wei Yang complained: "I am a liberal arts student, and I asked my high school classmates for many of the science content here."

This is not surprising. Screenwriters don't need to know too much to write scripts. They often ask experts. As long as there are no mistakes or omissions in common sense, everyone will turn a blind eye.

You can't write a crime film, the screenwriter has to commit a case by himself to find out...

Liu Junjie suddenly thought of something: "There are still a lot of classroom scenes, what should I do then?"

"Brother Wang from our logistics team, graduated from 211 University. It's not too difficult. You can solve all the problems. If you can't do it, you can ask for foreign aid. I have two friends from Jiaotong University."

During Wei Yang's school team competition, he once played against Jiaotong University. At that time, he deliberately got to know two girls from Jiaotong University, and asked for advice when he encountered script writing that he didn't understand.

Although the girls asked for their phone number from a handsome guy, they were a little skeptical about asking math and physics questions every day, but they were still willing to help each time.

Wei Yang thought that if he invites someone to come this time, he would take the opportunity to treat him to a meal and thank him. If the crew can be reimbursed, the grade can be higher.

"Okay, it's almost done, let's serve dinner."

Liu Junjie re-watched the finished film and felt that there was no need to shoot again, so the crew had a break for dinner.

The others breathed a sigh of relief, took the boxed lunch and started to eat it. Wei Yang had to supervise the situation of the meal, and let people not litter by the way.

"It's not easy to earn 1800."

Wei Yang complained, and finally took a lunch box and came to the rest area in the shade.

The place is not big, and there are not many seats where you can sit directly. They are all occupied by a few people in charge of the crew or old oily people. Except for the main actors and actresses and other important roles, there are seats for the main actors. Many supporting roles can only stand, or Go further into the shade.

Most of them are newcomers, few are well-known, and the old fritters of the crew are not used to it at all.

But when he saw Wei Yang coming, the photographer kicked his apprentice to make him give up his seat: "I didn't see your brother Yang coming, I don't have the eyesight to see it."

"I can just stand and eat."

"Sit down, don't worry about him, he was very tired just now, he's had enough rest."

The photographer pulled Wei Yang to sit down, and then pushed his lunch box: "Try, the authentic Harbin red sausage mailed from my hometown."

"Thank you, Brother Lu."

"You're welcome."

Wei Yang opened the lunch box. Unlike ordinary actors and staff, one meat and one vegetarian meal cost 10 yuan. His box lunch is two meat and two vegetables + big chicken drumsticks + drink. The meal price is 35 yuan, but it may actually be more.

The logistics are complicated, and there are many tricks to operate, but the premise is to understand the rules.

It is not impossible to buy an ordinary lunch box with a meal price of 10 yuan for 8 yuan or even 6 yuan, provided that it does not arouse public anger.

However, for some people, the 35 yuan standard box lunch will not work for less than 50 cents, and even the logistics will secretly raise the standard to [-] yuan.

Wei Yang is the screenwriter and lead actor of the crew, so it doesn't matter to the behind-the-scenes staff.

But if he becomes an executive producer, directly holds the real power, and is trusted by Liu and Sun, it's a completely different matter.

The 1800 yuan is not easy to earn, but it allows Wei Yang to live comfortably on the set...

Wei Yang chatted and laughed with the people in charge of photography, recording, and makeup. Some people were preparing for the preliminary work and left first to make room for a few seats. Wei Yang waved to Li Jiahang and the others not far away.

"Jiahang, Xinzi, Yixiao, Zhao Ji, this way."

When Li Jiahang and the others came to sit down, Wei Yang and the photographer who didn't know much about the situation introduced them.

"These few of my college classmates have a very good relationship."

Translated, I covered these people, everyone will save face in the future.

Everyone understood, and the photographer smiled and recognized Li Jiahang, a fellow from the Northeast. The next time this happens, even if Wei Yang is not around, they will not all stand by.

As for the other actors, they could only continue to wait for the empty seats.

Wei Yang can't help it, his ability is limited, he can't drive everyone away, he can only pick up the close ones first.

"I didn't touch this braised pork, you guys try it, I can't finish it myself."

The standard box lunch of the crew is really average, green pepper shredded pork + tomato eggs, shredded pork and eggs can be counted with two hands.

Every time Li Jiahang went back to the room at night, he would scold the black heart of the logistics, and Wei Yang remembered this.

Anyway, it's hot and he doesn't have much appetite. He still has a big chicken leg, and there are people stuffing snacks wherever he goes, so he saves one of the meat dishes and divides it among several people for a tooth-beating sacrifice.

After dinner, several people gathered and started playing cards. Wei Yang thought it was noisy, so he wandered back to the car to take a nap.

"Call me at work."

After explaining to Li Jiahang who was being dragged to play cards, Wei Yang walked to the parking place. Lou Yixiao wanted to follow, but Zhao Ji who was next to him was too embarrassed to speak.

"On the day I left you, a gray dream slept beside me..."

Wei Yang hummed the popular "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", feeling a little regretful that he was not a singer in his previous life.

Copying songs is much easier than copying scripts. If you get a few hit songs from later generations, and meet a first-line star, make up a South X North X, you will be the next generation of Chinese kings, maybe you can touch the Grammys Woolen cloth.

Thinking of this, Wei Yang couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, he was really tired and stunned, and he actually played this kind of third-rate trashy Internet story...

Turning the corner and arriving at the parking lot, Wei Yang suddenly saw Zhao Liying, who was squatting under the shade of a tree flipping through a script with an ice cream in her mouth.

"What are you looking at?"

Wei Yang couldn't hold back his curiosity, and stepped forward to ask a question. The latter looked up, startled, and greeted him without taking out the ice cream.

"Woooo (Brother Yang)."

Wei Yang: "..."

After contacting her several times, sometimes it was really difficult for him to connect this silly little girl with that gorgeous first-line big flower.

So much so that every time they met, Zhao Liying's star halo from her previous life kept breaking in his heart!

"I'll study the script, and there will be my play the day after tomorrow."

Zhao Liying took out the ice cream with a face full of shame, and then explained.

Wei Yang looked at the environment, so he said it was under the shade of a tree, but the air was still very hot. Zhao Liying was still slightly sweating while eating ice cream.

"Why don't you get in my car, it has air conditioning, and I can explain it to you if you don't understand."

In terms of the understanding of the script, the entire crew must respect Wei Yang, and Xiao Zhao also has a certain foundation of trust in Wei Yang, so he readily followed Wei Yang to the parking lot.

Wei Yang was not fooled by her either, and sacrificed half an hour of nap time to sort out the role of Zhu Ling for Zhao Liying.

Even the more we chatted, the more excited we became, and a lot of inspirations were generated, wondering if we could add some drama to make this character more plump.

For example, is it possible to get involved with Lu Xinghe? Lu Xinghe has been waiting for ten years, Zhu Ling has been secretly in love with Lu Xinghe for ten years. After Lu Xinghe was rejected, looking back, there is another person who has been waiting for him.

There is no need to point it out, an open ending, just a hint, and give Lu Xinghe a relatively happy ending.

Of course, this has an impact on the setting of the characters. It is difficult to decide which is better, Consummation or Xiao Suo, and it still needs to be discussed. Wei Yang didn't tell Zhao Liying either.

In addition to sorting out the characters, Wei Yang also taught Zhao Liying how to write a character biography, so as to experience the character more comprehensively and three-dimensionally.

"Don't just read the script, but think about the character's habits, daily life, and experience outside the script. When you fill up all these details, you will have a thorough understanding of the character."

I have never eaten pork, and I have never seen a pig run.

As an actor, Wei Yang is a newcomer, and his skills may be insufficient, but he knows how to create characters from the perspective of screenwriter + actor, which is his greatest advantage.

Even their acting teacher who performed in the play praised that Wei Yang is good at figuring out the characters, and his acting has strong character details.

What Wei Yang said also benefited Zhao Liying a lot.

Although she has filmed before, she has not been systematically studied, and she is a wild way to figure out on her own. Now that she has little experience, Wei Yang's guidance still gave her a lot of help.

After talking about the biographies of the characters, it was almost time, so Wei Yang and Zhao Liying decided to go to the scene.

As a result, as soon as the two got out of the car, Zheng Dong came out of a Land Rover with a girl with enchanting eyebrows in his arms, and the two of them happened to meet each other.

Seeing Wei Yang and Xiao Zhao, the alluring girl Shen Tiantian couldn't bear to lose face, and gently pushed Zheng Dong's hand away.

It goes without saying that this Shen Tiantian is the actor who played the second female lead of "The Best of Us", Jiang Niannian, a former model, Zheng Dong's new favorite, and the biggest relationship with the crew.

"Director Zheng, Sister Shen."

Wei Yang didn't seem to see the movements of the two of them at all, and greeted them calmly.

Zheng Dong didn't care about these at all, he just looked at Zhao Liying with great interest, and winked at Wei Yang.

"Xiao Wei, yes."

Wei Yang was speechless, and explained: "Director Zheng, Xiao Zhao doesn't understand, I just chatted with her about the script in the car."

"Hmm."

Zheng Dong looked like he had learned some knowledge points, and nodded again and again: "Your sister Shen and I were also discussing the script just now, good guy, it's too hot in the sky, we are sweating from discussing it."

Wei Yang: "..."

You better be talking about the script...
