I'm not just a director

During the filming in Hong Kong Province, the Hong Kong media sharpened their heads and wanted to get into the crew of "Inception".

However, Jiang Pei'an was quite guarded against this, and even specially selected a team of people from the film crew to strictly guard against Hong Kong media sneaking in.

"Beware of the army, the crew of "Inception" has never disclosed the details of the filming."

"It's too disgraceful. The reporter was stopped several times when he went to the set."

"Visiting the crew of "Inception" was blocked, and the media yelled at me!"

Although no substantive news has been revealed, relevant news is still emerging one after another.

No way, who made Jiang Pei'an so hot.

Even if you are being scolded bloody, you still have to grab traffic.

If Jiang Pei'an knew about this, he would definitely yell at him, isn't that cheap!

"Inception" crew.

At this time, a newcomer came to the crew.

Fan Xiaopang's arrival made Hu Jing quite happy.

After all, Liu Tianxian was the only girl in the crew before, but now a girl of the same age finally came.

"Bingbing, come here."

In the crew, Fan Bingbing saw Hu Jing greet her as soon as she came here.

"Hi sister Jingjing, I'm Fan Bingbing."

Fan Xiaopang said somewhat cautiously.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, I saw you play Jin Suo, he's grown up a lot now than before."

Hu Jing took the other party's hand and said with a smile.

Hearing Hu Jing say the word "Golden Lock", Fan Bingbing glanced uneasy at Jiang Pei'an who was directing on the set.

Sensing Fan Bingbing's eyes, Hu Jing smiled and said:
"Don't worry, the director is not a stingy person, since he agreed to your participation, it means he doesn't care about the previous things.

Besides, you were only on the same crew as that person, and you didn't fight against the director back then, so don't be afraid of him. "

Hearing what Hu Jing said, Fan Bingbing nodded reassuringly:
"Thank you, Miss Jingjing."

Noticing that Hu Jing and Fan Bingbing were talking and laughing, Jiang Pei'an was puzzled.

Did these two know each other before?

It can only be said that women's friendship is inexplicable.

"Okay, let's pass this game and prepare for the transition."

Jiang Pei'an shouted with a loudspeaker.

Then he came to Fan Bingbing and Hu Jing.

"Hi, Director Jiang."

Fan Bingbing greeted timidly.

"Hi, it's been a hard journey."

Jiang Pei'an nodded.

"No, no, it is my honor to be able to participate in Director Jiang's movie."

Fan Bingbing said quickly.

"Ah."

Jiang Pei'an wondered why this girl seemed to be afraid of herself.

"Oh, director, you are too serious, you scared Bingbing."

Seeing Jiang Pei'an's serious face, Hu Jing said unwillingly.

Jiang Pei'an touched his face, looked at Fan Bingbing in doubt and said:
"Am I serious?"

Fan Bingbing quickly waved his hands and said:

"No, no, it has nothing to do with Director Jiang."

Jiang Pei'an rubbed his face, and said slowly:
"Let's not talk about that, Bingbing, you don't have many lines, there are three scenes in total, have you read all the scripts?"

When talking about work, Fan Bingbing finally nodded normally, she nodded and said:
"I understand, one is a rival scene with you, the director, another is with Brother Cheng Long, and the last one is a fighting scene among the crowd."

Fan Bingbing obviously did detailed homework before coming.

Of course, there was nothing to prepare for. There were only three scenes in total, and she remembered them quite clearly.

"Okay, but let me remind you first, except for the scene with my opponent, the other two scenes are all fighting scenes.

Have you had any experience with fighting scenes before? "

Jiang Pei'an asked.

"Well, I have, but it's not a modern drama, but I can learn it."

Fan Bingbing said slowly.

If it's not a modern drama, then it's from "My Fair Princess".

The girl spoke quite reservedly, for fear of offending herself.

"It doesn't matter, you don't shoot until after the scene, you can communicate with the action director first, and let him design the action for you."

Jiang Pei'an said slowly.

"I see, Director Jiang."

Fan Bingbing nodded seriously.

After Jiang Pei'an explained a few more words, Gao Chengsheng came to arrange Fan Xiaopang's accommodation.

……

Two days later, Fan Xiaopang started her first scene in the crew of "Inception".

This is not the first time she has acted in a movie. She also has a movie released during the Spring Festival this year.

The title of the film is "Love at First Sight" and it is a modern romance film starring her and Lu Yi.

It's just that under the ruthless strangulation of "Source Code", this movie has gained little and the response is mediocre.

So from the moment she first joined the crew of "Inception", she has been treading on eggshells.

After all, the movie she starred in was beaten by the man in front of her, so there was no room for her to fight back.

"You must perform well. This is an opportunity that I have finally won."

According to her manager Wang Jinghua, another soldier has already been killed in front of Jiang Pei'an.

She didn't want to be driven back to the capital by Jiang Pei'an because of a problem with the performance.

Unfortunately, the more she thought about it, the more nervous she became, and she couldn't get into the scene at all.

"Ka, Bingbing, your movements are too stiff, do it again!"

"Oh, good, good Director Jiang."

Fan Bingbing nodded quickly.

"I'm sorry Brother Cheng Long, I, let's do it again."

Fan Bingbing apologized again to Cheng Long who acted opposite him.

"It's okay, don't be nervous, we will come again."

Cheng Long smiled and nodded.

Cheng Long's smile seemed to give him strength, she nodded vigorously, memorizing the lines in her heart, and the movements of her hands slowly unfolded...

"Ka, Bingbing pay attention to your position, the camera can't catch up with you."

"Good director..."

"Ka, it's still too fast, let's take a rest first, where's Wuzhi? Come here and give Fan Bingbing some moves."

Jiang Pei'an shouted.

Jiang Pei'an waved his hands rather irritably.

After Fan Bingbing reacquainted himself with the movements with Wu Zhi several times, he was able to strike well.

It shouldn't be that I didn't remember the action.

"This won't work, she will definitely go wrong again later."

Seeing Fan Bingbing's state, Jiang Pei'an immediately understood. He walked up to Fan Bingbing and pointed at Wu:

"Okay, you go to rest first, I'll talk to Bingbing."

"Bingbing."

"Hey, Director Jiang."

Fan Bingbing was a little uneasy.

"Relax, don't be nervous, your performance is fine, but you always can't get into the show, right?"

Jiang Pei'an looked at her and asked softly.

"Director Jiang, I will definitely work hard, you believe in me, give me another chance..."

Jiang Pei'an waved his hand and said:
"Don't be in a hurry to express your opinion, there is no problem with your attitude and performance.

What I mean is that you have to maintain a stable state of mind and not be influenced by the outside world.

The delay in getting into the show means that you still have something in mind, is it because of Brother Cheng Long? "

Fan Xiaopang shook his head and said.

"Is it because of a problem with the machine on site?"

Fan Xiaopang shook his head again.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Pei'an understood.

It's because of myself.

Judging from Fan Xiaopang's first entry into the group and his performance just now, it seems that this girl is very afraid of herself.

Although Fan Xiaopang didn't say anything, he roughly understood the reason.

"Okay, I see, your scene is almost over, I have to arrange the next scene in advance, and I will let Director Zhu direct your scene later."

Jiang Pei'an made a foreshadowing, and left later, and the girl was thinking about it.

"I understand……"

Fan Xiaopang lowered his head and whispered.

After explaining the matter, Jiang Pei'an really handed over the command of the scene to Zhu Decheng as he said.

After Jiang Pei'an left, the whole set returned to a busy state.

"Okay, all units are ready, start up!"

"Photography, power on."

"Props, power on."

"Radio, turn on."

Hearing the password to switch on, Fan Xiaopang glanced at the director's position.

The former Jiang Pei'an has been replaced by three assistant directors Zhu Decheng, Lin Di'an and Wu Ershan.

She couldn't help feeling relieved, and her whole body seemed to be full of strength...

"Okay, click, let's keep one."

"Crack, pass!"

Looking at the playback on the monitor, Zhu Decheng nodded in satisfaction.

"It's amazing, what did Director Jiang say to her, the two shoots went so smoothly."

Lin Di'an said something suspicious.

Zhu Decheng smiled and said:

"Director Jiang's biggest role is that he was not around when the scene was filmed."

"What do you mean, Director Zhu?"

Wu Ershan asked puzzled.

Lin Di'an also looked at him suspiciously.

Zhu Decheng smiled and said:
"The career of an actor can be roughly divided into three stages."

Seeing that the crew was busy transitioning scenes and not rushing to start filming, Zhu Decheng taught the two of them a little lesson.

"Actors in the first stage, to put it bluntly, are marionettes.

What the director said and acted, it was a very simple performance, with joy, anger, sorrow and joy on the surface.

They can also complete the filming, but there is no highlight in the performance. Most of the special invitations and group performances belong to this stage. "

"The actors in the second stage are much better.

Although everyone will try to figure out the characters carefully when performing, and analyze the behavior links of the characters from the biography of the characters.

But everyone's understanding and expressiveness are different. We often comment on whether an actor is good or not, and we probably comment on actors at this level. "

"As for the actors in the third stage, there are a lot fewer actors. We call this kind of actors show face, and they act like whatever they do."

Hearing Zhu Decheng's words, Wu Ershan nodded. He couldn't learn these theories when he was shooting commercials, and he couldn't learn them in the film school either.

This is real knowledge gained from practice.

Zhu Decheng looked at Fan Bingbing standing in the crowd and said:
"She's sort of in the middle of the first stage of being an actor and the second stage.

She couldn't sink her mind into the role because there were elements that interfered with her on the set, and she couldn't perform without distraction.

At the beginning, I didn't understand why director Jiang asked me to take over the scene. It was only when I saw her performance for the first time that I realized it. "

Hearing Zhu Decheng's words, Lin Di'an and Wu Ershan nodded, secretly surprised at the same time.

Director Jiang is too powerful.

An old director like Zhu Decheng watched Fan Bingbing's performance before he understood Jiang Pei'an's good intentions.

And the two of them actually had to wait for Zhu Decheng to explain before reacting.

How old is Jiang Pei'an, and where did he get all his experience.

Compared with him, I look like a fool.

As if seeing what the two of them were thinking, Zhu Decheng smiled and said:
"Learn more, watch more, and understand more, and both of you can use it in the future."

"understood."

Lin Di'an and Wu Ershan said deeply.

Fan Bingbing came to the crew for five days and basically finished filming all his scenes.

This trip to "Inception" has taught her a lot.

She obviously felt that her acting skills had improved. Of course, this improvement was due to her being scolded.

In the first two action scenes, Jiang Pei'an was able to complete the performance by evading, but the rival scene with Jiang Pei'an forced her to face each other.

"Don't have so many dramas in your heart. I'm not the director of the crew now, I just face you as an actor, understand?"

Fan Xiaopang nodded, but the scene still took nearly a dozen NGs to complete.

Of course, Jiang Pei'an's strict requirements have a lot to do with it.

After all his roles were wrapped, Fan Xiaopang felt relieved, but also worried.

If I performed so poorly, don't even think about participating in Jiang Pei'an's movies in the future.

"It's finished. Your drama is not bad, but there are too many inner dramas. We will cooperate again when we have the opportunity."

After the rivalry scene ended, Jiang Pei'an took the initiative to talk to Fan Bingbing.

Seeing that the expression on Jiang Pei'an's face was not fake, Fan Bingbing was relieved:
"Director Jiang, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will treat you to dinner when I return to Beijing."

There is a lot of inner drama, Jiang Pei'an said to her several times.

After thinking about it, he could understand Fan Bingbing's feelings.

At the age of 16, she wandered around the capital alone. Facing the unfamiliar environment, she developed a timid character.

This is true in the crew of "Returning the Pearl", and even more so in "Inception".

What's more, she and Zhao Fantian were merged into the "Four Beauties of Returning Pearls" at the beginning, and now the most popular Damei was torn out by Jiang Pei'an.

When she faced Jiang Pei'an, she inevitably felt burdened.

As an actress, she is still very immature, so naturally she cannot digest this burden...

Fan Xiaopang finished filming and left the crew, and "Inception" also ended his role in Hong Kong Province.

Next, the crew will go to Paris to shoot another highlight in the movie.

The streets of Paris blasted.

This scene is the first time when Jiang Pei'an gave lessons to the dream builder played by Zhang Ziyi in his dream. A series of explosions occurred in the streets of Paris where they were located.

If it is placed in later generations, this can be processed into a time-saving and labor-saving special effects shot.

However, due to the current difficulty in special effects, and also to better present the effect, Jiang Pei'an and Nolan made the same choice.

real shot.

Gao Chengsheng had communicated with Paris in advance through the channel of China Film Group.

However, the Paris authorities did not allow the use of explosives on the streets of the city center, so Jiang Pei'an had to use air cannons to complete the explosion effect.

At the same time, six cameras were arranged on site to capture images from different angles.

Explosion debris is photographed with a zoom lens as if floating in the air.

So as to create a shocking visual impact.

Of course, there are still risks in this scene. Jiang Pei'an has bought insurance for the actors and crew involved in the filming.

The next step is to wait for Zhang Ziyi to join the group.
