Chapter 755 Warning
"Brother Jing, you guys also came here this way when you first started filming."

Although the problem was understood clearly under Li Mu's guidance, the filming of this segment still could not be completed. It had been NGed for the fifth time and everyone was taking a break under the director's command.

Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but ask Wu Jing and others who were sitting nearby.

"Uncle Tat, what about you?" Wu Jing smiled and looked at Wu Mengda standing beside her.

"When I was filming, people would scold us if we couldn't keep up. Even the current director Zhou Xingchi was no exception. We were scolded terribly at that time."

Wu Mengda recalled and couldn't help but think of the turbulent past when he was young.

"That's about it. We're not as lucky as you two. We can shoot a long shot and have a director to guide us, giving you enough time.

If we can’t shoot well, we just need to wait for the scolding. Some directors use different insults when they are shooting a movie.”

Wu Jing thought of her years filming in Hong Kong. Although they were not particularly wonderful, the youthful years are always worth remembering.

“Cherish it and learn it well. Especially the Balala the Fairies you filmed before, which was not a movie at all. Director Li gave you enough opportunities this time. If it were another director, he would have directly abandoned the long shot.

If you don’t understand something, just ask. Don’t be afraid. The more afraid you are, the worse you will shoot.”

Wu Jing also encouraged the two young actors. After all, they have important roles to play, and the success of the filming depends largely on them.

"Director Li, how much time do you plan to give them?" Guo Fan asked as he looked at the two people not far ahead.

"We have to give them enough time, otherwise we'll just skip their scenes altogether?" Li Mu shook his head. "Training actors is also one of the director's jobs. This scene is the foundation. Once we get through it, the rest will be smooth. We can't lose sight of the main goal."

"Make arrangements for two or three days of filming."

Li Mu finally said slowly, Guo Fan took a look at the schedule in his hand, then drew some pictures in it, as if he was adjusting part of the plan.

As time came to April, the first quarter's movie box office results were finally released after being announced by the State Film Administration.

The industry is looking forward to it. After all, this year's Spring Festival schedule was quite explosive, with one movie grossing 4 billion and another 3 billion. Looking back over the years, this is a unique schedule.

As expected, according to data provided by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, the total box office of the national film market in the first quarter of this year was 202.17 billion yuan, up 144.6% from last year's 39.82 billion yuan, directly breaking the latest record of the national film market in a single quarter in film history.

"If we can break through 200 billion every quarter, won't we be able to reach 800 billion this year?"

Guo Fan couldn't help but sigh, saying that it was mainly because the data at the beginning of the year was so outrageous that everyone was willing to dream like this.

However, Li Mu attacked without hesitation: "What are you thinking? It would be good if we can break through 60 billion this year. It's not the right time to set the goal of 80 billion."

"This is just wishful thinking, but it's quite exaggerated. It's dozens of times higher than it was in the early 2000s."

Guo Fan smiled innocently.

The filming continued, and with constant NGs and the help of everyone, Qu Chuxiao and Zhao Jinmai were getting better and better.

Li Mu felt that the most likely times of over-acting were these few times.

So he also made photographers pay attention to him.

"Give the camera to Qu Chuxiao, for a close-up of his face."

Li Mu directed the scene in an orderly manner.

"clear."

The photographer zoomed in according to Li Mu's instructions.

At this time, Qu Chuxiao had a satisfied smile on his face. It was not a deliberate expression, but he was immersed in the role.

"It looks like these two little guys have made it through."

Uncle Da stroked his beard and smiled.

"I spent a few days with them, and it wasn't in vain. If I don't perform well, I think Director Li will scold me no matter how good his temper is."

Wu Jing sat on a small chair, propped up his head and looked at the scene.

"Director Li is the director with the best temper we have ever worked with. If it were someone else, I'm afraid these two little guys would have cried several times because of the scolding."

"really!"

"OK, start the C lens, actors, please pay attention to your positioning."

As the first assistant director, Guo Fan also acted as a conductor. With Guo Fan, the actors were like having a guiding light.

Under the C lens, three actors began to act together.

However, as Lei Jiayin, who was brought in as a guest star, his acting skills are naturally much better than the other two.

"how old are you?"

Lei Jiayin held two fake certificates in his hand, looked at Zhao Jinmai with lustful eyes, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I have to say that Lei Jiayin is quite suitable for playing a gangster, after all, he has a ruffian temperament.

"Oh, Duoduo, look at this certificate made by Brother Yi, it looks exactly like the real one."

Qu Chuxiao quickly snatched the fake certificate and took the opportunity to change the subject.

Lei Jiayin was humiliated, and although he was unhappy, nothing happened.

"Boy, remember to return your clothes tomorrow."

"Oh thank you, brother. Let's go!"

Qu Chuxiao was slightly startled under the camera, because he had no intention of returning to the underground city.

Immediately afterwards, Qu Chuxiao grabbed Zhao Jinmai and quickly left this dangerous place.

However, Zhao Jinmai ruined the situation by muttering quietly: "Aren't you not coming back?"

As soon as she said this, Zhao Jinmai felt that she had caused trouble and quickly covered her mouth. "Wait a minute!"

The top brother Lei Jiayin had just lit a cigarette, and when he heard what Zhao Jinmai said, murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

I didn’t expect Qu Chuxiao to dare to deceive this gangster boss!!!

"Boy, you're not coming back? With just this little stuff, you want to cheat me out of two sets of clothes?"

The atmosphere on the scene changed immediately, as if it was before a storm.

Li Mu stared at the monitor intently. So far there were no problems. As long as the last bit went right, it would be done.

"Brother, I'll make it up to you later. Sorry, I really have to go out today."

Qu Chuxiao quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm a trustworthy person and I don't sell on credit. Don't leave today. There's nothing fun in going out. Stay with your sister and celebrate the New Year with me!"

While Lei Jiayin was speaking his lines, he flicked out the half-smoked cigarette in a cool manner.

This was a deliberate move to show off, but Lei Jiayin's move made Li Mu's eyes slightly condense. Guo Fan also frowned at this moment, and then looked at Li Mu.

Seeing that Li Mu didn't shout, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Click, passed!"

Li Mu shouted loudly after watching the last shot.

This sound was like heavenly music to the people on the set.

Zhao Jinmai was so excited that she shed tears.

"Lei Jiayin, do you want me to give you a few more shots so you can show off your handsomeness?"

At this time, Li Mu said softly, and everyone on the set immediately focused their attention on Lei Jiayin.

"Director Li, I'm sorry, it was impulsive."

Lei Jiayin also came back to his senses and quickly apologized, because the action just now was not in the script, but he suddenly felt inspired and made a change on purpose to show off. Fortunately, the script was about showing off, otherwise Li Mu would have scolded him a long time ago.

Generally speaking, there are conditions for actors to perform independently, but this condition is not met here, so they just have to perform according to the script.

"Next time if you have a good idea, you can tell me first, I will consider it. It's not that I won't let you use it, but it's not needed in this shot."

Li Mu did not insist on it, but just gave a slight warning. Otherwise, if everyone played like this, it would be fine if it went according to the rules. But if something went wrong, the scene that was so hard to pass would have to be started all over again, which would waste a lot of people's time and energy.

At this moment, Lei Jiayin felt cold sweat on his forehead. Although Li Mu rarely got angry on the set, the invisible pressure was there.

"I'm not in such a hurry. Sometimes I have to show my talents. Sometimes when acting, I need to restrain myself, but I also need to let go of myself. I have to find the right balance."

As a person who has experienced this, Wu Mengda naturally knew where Lei Jiayin's problem lay. He patted him on the shoulder and gave him some advice.

"Thank you, Uncle Da. I was wrong just now. Fortunately, Chu Xiao didn't make any mistakes, otherwise we would be in big trouble."

Lei Jiayin felt a little scared.

"I was so absorbed in the role that I didn't even notice what Jiayin did."

Qu Chuxiao scratched his head, seeming to have no idea what was going on.

"Luckily you got into the role and saved me, otherwise I would be scolded now."

Lei Jiayin put his arm around Qu Chuxiao's shoulders, couldn't help but laugh, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately nothing happened, otherwise I would have really cursed."

At this time, Guo Fan and Li Mu were watching the footage that had just been filmed in front of the monitor and couldn't help but sigh.

It was mainly because of a few people who were still filming this scene. Almost everyone couldn't hold back their inner annoyance. Only Li Mu was there to hold it back, otherwise the lighting, photography, and other departments would have started cursing long ago.

Don’t think that these people in the logistics department don’t curse. Sometimes when conflicts arise, they curse as if they are mad with anger.

"It will be fine once we get through this. Things will probably go more smoothly from now on. The new problem is that we are about to shoot the scenes where everyone is wearing exoskeletons. I don't think we can shoot many scenes a day."

Li Mu rubbed his head, feeling a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do, as human power had its limits.

In the evening, the little kid in the video was already clamoring to see Li Mu.

"Okay, okay, let's go find dad the day after tomorrow."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but scratch the little boy's nose. Apart from anything else, this nose was exactly the same as hers and it felt very comfortable to scratch.

"No wonder Amu always likes to scratch my nose." Liu Yifei thought to herself.

"Have you applied for a route?"

"I applied for it, and it was just approved today. I just packed up and went there. I applied for it several times."

Liu Yifei looked very cute in the same red panda pajamas as Xiao Baozi.

“Did the shoot go well?”

"It's OK. We've dealt with most of the issues with the actors. The only problem is the exoskeleton armor. It's heavier than the one we had before. I don't think Jing-ge can handle it for long."

"We have been in special training all the time, so this is not okay?"

"Dressing up for training and acting are two different things. You have to say your lines and pay attention to your micro-expressions. Have you forgotten what it was like when we were filming?"

"Hey, I forgot for a moment."

Liu Yifei scratched her head embarrassedly, looking silly.
