Chapter 479: Risks of the Actor's Personal Conduct, Re-signing of Supplementary Contract
After Ye Weijie finished his work, he looked at the time and saw that there was only half an hour left before the afternoon work started. He hurried to the canteen to get a meal and arrived at the crew on time.

The actors and other staff members took their positions. Everyone who arrived at the crew could see Director Ye’s solemn expression, and everyone looked at each other and exchanged glances.

"The fewer words you say, the bigger the problem!"

"I went to the front and back gates of Chitang Village at noon and saw no paparazzi blocking the area. Could it be that Director Ye has a problem at home?"

Because Ye Weijie's expression was not right, everyone sincerely hoped that the "Mediocrity" crew would be able to proceed smoothly and not be hindered by extra things.

After Jinli came to the crew, she felt the unusual atmosphere of the crew.

But since it was her first scene in the afternoon session, she did not ask her assistant for information. Instead, she glanced at the script and started practicing questions to get herself into a focused state where she could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In the afternoon scene, Yuan Xiaoxiao combined online searches and decided to use the most cost-effective method to create a celebrity check-in wall.

Buy your own materials and paint it yourself!
Several young village officials are not art students and have never learned to paint.

But in order to revitalize Chitang Village, they gathered together these days to watch sketching videos and learn it themselves.

In addition, they also found a "wall painting" experience course, which can unlock a popular wall pattern. The blogger teaches people with no basic knowledge how to paint wall paintings step by step.

If you can't draw it, you can always get guidance.

The course certificates sold on the Internet forced these village officials to sell their certificates.

They have no money and no talent, so they have no choice but to go ahead with it.

Following the command "Action", Yuan Xiaoxiao and several of her companions took charcoal pencils and started to make proofs on the whitewashed wall.

They hold a pen in their right hand and a mobile phone in their left hand, and draw by referring to the zero-based teaching video.

Originally, Ma Mingqi and the village official played by Wang Hongdou were still arguing, but seeing that Yuan Xiaoxiao and Xie Yingying were working so hard and seriously, they said a few words and immediately shut up.

Once Ye Weijie enters the shooting state, he is also very meticulous.

He threw away the chaotic and complicated thoughts in his mind and devoted himself to the filming. There were several villagers around the wall on standby at any time.

They will wait for Director Ye to give them a signal and then walk to the designated location.

Ye Weijie first controlled the camera to take some shots of each village official, and finally focused the camera on Jinli.

Logically speaking, the actors, like the village official in the script, have no basic knowledge of painting and have learned it by cramming over the past few days.

But Yuan Xiaoxiao, played by Jinli, is very stylish when painting, and looks like an art student.

This discovery surprised Ye Weijie a little, and he couldn't help but take pictures for a long time.

In the morning, he asked the actors to come and check out the positions, and used the camera to help them gesture, but at that time he did not feel that Jinli's temperament was so outstanding.

Why is there such a big difference between officially shooting and starting to paint?
If Jinli knew what the director was thinking, she would definitely say shamelessly: "You don't know, I'm drawing a koi."

As a koi fish, Jinli is best at painting koi fish.

The shooting took a long time and Ye Weijie's arms felt a little sore, so he rubbed them and planned to shoot for a few more seconds.

The villagers who had been waiting nearby saw him rubbing his arm and thought it was a signal for them to be filmed, so they immediately went to the designated location.

When the villagers saw the paintings, their attention was drawn to them. They forgot their lines for a moment and started talking to each other casually instead.

"These young kids can all draw. It's amazing. They must have received a very good education since they were young. I heard that all the children in the city learn art."

"Hey, the walls are painted so white, I'm still not used to it. When I walked here just now, I almost thought I entered the wrong village."

"Haha, it would be great if every wall in Pond Village could be painted white."

"No, it's too new. It will get dirty soon."

The villagers were talking and laughing, but Ye Weijie did not call for a stop and allowed them to take pictures freely.

From the first line the villagers said, Ye Weijie knew they were wrong.

But he still waited until the villagers finished speaking before shouting "click".

The others dispersed, and the assistant director ran over to watch the filming content with him.

While filming the villagers, the assistant director also noticed that there were errors in the lines.

The assistant director asked, "Director Ye, do you want to reshoot?"

Ye Weijie: "Don't worry, let's watch the video the villagers just filmed first."

After watching it once, Ye Weijie called Jinli and other actors to watch it as well.

Everyone was surprised to find that although what the villagers said did not match the lines at all, the content they expressed was the same.

Moreover, the effect of the villagers' casual remarks is even more natural, revealing a strong rural style, which is not deliberately shown through lines.

Ye Weijie asked them: "What do you think? Do you want to reshoot it?"

Ma Mingqi and Wang Hongdou hesitated and didn't dare to say anything for a while, but Jinli and Xu Wenwen didn't hesitate. They said in unison: "No need to change it, just use this version!"

Xu Wenwen: “I think this version is much more natural.”

Jinli also nodded: "The lines we designed for the villagers are still a little less down-to-earth, maybe we can let the villagers play more freely in the future."

Ye Weijie also figured out this problem.

He shot a rural film, but apart from his childhood memories of the countryside, he didn't know much about the countryside, so the plot was set up well, but the lines of each character were too "floating".

It's superficial and you can't feel the rustic feeling of a rural film.

Although he did not make this film for the purpose of winning awards, he also wanted to reflect social reality and make some contribution to "rural poverty alleviation."

Ye Weijie said: "We will shoot in two versions later. One version will be given to the villagers to express themselves freely, and the other version will be based on the lines we designed. Let's take a look at both versions. Maybe we need to change the lines on the spot."

All the actors had no objection to this.

Not only the actors are tired during filming, but also the director. The director is more eager for success and perfection than the actors.

The afternoon was spent shooting the wall painting scene. Every actor performed his or her duties and no one was lazy. They all worked diligently on painting the wall.

Ye Weijie wanted to capture every state of the actors while painting, from the initial excitement, to the exhaustion in the middle and to the final persistence.

In this way, not only can the actors' states be connected to the previous and the next, but the process of supplementing the painted wall pictures is also very natural.

We spent the whole afternoon painting the wall and only managed to complete one-third of the work.

Tomorrow morning, I have to continue painting the wall.

In the middle, several groups of villagers came to speak their lines, and we shot two versions according to the method we had agreed on before. Ye Weijie had to compare them again in the evening.

If it is determined that the villagers' natural and simple performance will have a better effect, then the subsequent shooting plan will have to be changed to add more content of the villagers' impromptu performances.

After finishing the filming of the afternoon scenes, the actors all looked a little tired.

Jinli was having dinner with her assistants, and only then did she learn from them that Director Ye might have "problems at home".

Jinli was drinking soup, with the spoon suspended in mid-air.

"Something went wrong at home? Who said that?" Jinli came back to her senses and asked.

Chen Qin: "Director Ye left in a hurry without completing his task in the morning, and looked serious again in the afternoon. That's what everyone guessed."

Jinli shook her head: "Rumors, don't believe them or spread them, and don't gossip too much in the future." Ye Weijie was worried, but he was worried about Ma Mingqi, not about his family.

She remembered that Sister Fang also had to go to the village chief to do some business at noon, and left Chitang Village directly after finishing her business. She didn't know whether the two met each other.

Back at the B&B at night, Jinli talked with Sister Fang and finally understood the whole story.

Sui Lingfang asked curiously: "Jinli, you have played against Ma Mingqi before, is he really pretending to be fat?"

The sentence "If you don't have money, collect some and mobilize all your relatives to raise one million" shocked her a little.

My goodness, money owed to the bank is money, but money owed to relatives is not money?
If the investment fails, you don’t have to pay back your relatives’ money, right?
Which relative has a good relationship with you and is willing to compete with you?

But if the background is set in the countryside, especially the rural area of ​​Guangdong Province where Ma Mingqi is located, it seems very normal.

In many places in Guangdong Province, clan concepts are strong. Often, if a child is outstanding, the whole family will support him to start a business.

The people there really believe that relatives will help relatives get rich together!

Jinli thought for a moment and shook her head: "I can't tell. Celebrities are very good at packaging themselves. I only know that he is very generous, but I didn't expect that he would have to borrow money from relatives for investment."

It would be fine if the relatives had money, but seeing that each relative could only contribute 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, I'm afraid that no one is well off.

If the thunder breaks out at that time, he will really drag down the whole village by himself.

She had seen a news report before that a wealthy businessman in a village said he made the villagers rich, so he raised more than two million yuan to ambush a stock in advance, saying he had inside information and that the stock would definitely rise.

The results of it?
The villagers all went to take over the shares, causing those at high positions to run away. The more they bought the stock, the lower it fell, and the more they bought, the more they bought, so that everyone was trapped.

This black-hearted person really dragged down the entire village's GDP by himself.

The village didn’t recover for several years after that. Various activities were not held, and the village had to find ways to raise money.

Sui Lingfang said cautiously: "Don't have too much contact with Ma Mingqi. I suspect this person will go bankrupt. If he has any unclean behavior, it may cause the crew to be unable to release the film."

Jinli was stunned, "So serious?"

Sui Lingfang: "Don't underestimate it. There are many examples of a show being ruined because of a bad artist, right?"

Jinli: "Should we tell Director Ye?"

Sui Lingfang: “I told him this afternoon that if he is perceptive enough, your crew should launch an internal investigation in a few days and ask you to sign another contract.

If the crew is unable to go online due to the actor's personal problems, the actor must compensate the crew for the loss in full."

She paused and sighed, "Jinli, in the past, when taking on a role, an actor only needed to understand the production team and whether the script was good, but now it's different, you also have to understand the actors you're acting with.

Not to mention the male and female protagonists, if there is a problem with this kind of thing, the whole show will be ruined. Even if it is a minor supporting role, the third male or the third female, once something goes wrong, the whole show will be ruined.

Although current AI technology is excellent, it is still impossible to change the face of an important supporting character throughout the entire play. The mistakes would be extremely obvious. Moreover, choosing AI face-changing would also cost a lot of money and may not necessarily recover the cost.

Good technology requires a lot of money, and bad technology looks shoddy and no one will watch it. Instead of relying on AI, it is better to rely on the actors themselves to maintain good morals and not do anything illegal or criminal. "

Speaking of people, Jinli thought of Xu Wenwen's optimism towards Wang Hongdou, so she asked:

"Sister Fang, is the company looking to recruit new people recently? Not idols, but actors or something like that."

Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows: "Why, do you have a new player you like and want to sign?"

Jinli smiled: "I don't run a company, so I won't sign it even if I like it.

Xu Wenwen thought that a newcomer in the crew had good acting skills, so she talked to me and said that if her entertainment company wasn’t doing well, she would have persuaded the company to sign her.

Sui Lingfang said with interest: "Xu Wenwen, she has a good eye for scripts and has been in the industry for a long time. She has acted in more dramas than you, but she always lacks the momentum to become an Internet sensation. Who does she think is good?"

Jinli: "Wang Hongdou."

Sui Lingfang asked shrewdly, "What do you think of this newcomer?"

Jinli said succinctly: "If I didn't think it was possible, I wouldn't mention her to you."

Sui Lingfang was somewhat tempted, but after thinking for a while, she said, "The boss signed so many trainees a few months ago, hoping to launch a hit group, and the company is not very willing to sign newcomers.

In the past, I could have directly asked the boss for a quota, but next year is coming soon, and Qi Guan Mingzhu will come to Chenxi Entertainment. I am also the one who brought her here, and the boss may not want me to bring in new people anymore."

The implication is that if Chenxi Entertainment really wants to sign Wang Hongdou, it doesn’t necessarily have to be Sui Lingfang who will be in charge.

Jinli knew that Chenxi Entertainment treated her very well, but Chenxi Entertainment was a company, which was divided into many small groups.

She can only guarantee that Sister Fang will be attentive when training new people, but she cannot guarantee whether other agents do the same.

Since there is no guarantee, it doesn’t matter which company Wang Hongdou signs with, and there is no need to waste time on Chenxi Entertainment.

Jinli thought for a while and said, "Let's put it aside. If she is destined to be with Chenxi Entertainment, fate will come naturally."

The next day, Sister Fang hit the nail on the head!
I just talked to her about the risks of the actors' conduct last night. This morning, Director Ye took out the prepared supplementary contracts and asked each actor to sign them again.

Everyone had different reactions to this and was very confused.

"Why do we have to sign a new contract? Is this one different from the previous one?"

"I can't sign the contract on my own. I have to tell the company and ask my agent to come and sign it for me."

"The filming has already started, and signing another contract is just bullying and forced sale!"

Ye Weijie said seriously, "What are you yelling about? Have you read the supplementary contract? This is a supplement to your character guarantee. If you don't sign it and leave, who knows if you really have a problem? The crew doesn't dare to hire an artist with a bad record."

Jinli read the supplementary contract and found that just as Sister Fang had guessed, Director Ye had increased the penalty for breach of contract in the actor's character guarantee.

If the show cannot be released due to the actor's personal problems, the crew will be compensated for all losses three times the amount.

After reading it, she immediately signed her name.

The second one was Xu Wenwen. She just took a photo and told her agent, then signed without waiting for the agent's reply.

Subsequently, actors signed contracts one after another, but more than a dozen were still stuck with the company. Without the presence of their agents, the actors could not sign on their own.

Ye Weijie didn’t know whether there was a problem with the actor or the company was just being strict.

Knowing that so many people did not sign at the first time, he just felt fortunate.

Fortunately, the filming of this drama was only for more than half a month, which is neither too early nor too late, so there is still time to change people.

If the shoot takes a long time, it will be impossible to change people.

Because of the signing issue, the crew was delayed for the entire morning and did not start work.

At noon, while eating in the cafeteria, young actors gathered together to chat, and they all complained about the company's strict management.

"I wanted to sign, but the company wouldn't let me. I felt like the staff thought there was something wrong with me. I'm really innocent!"

"Yes, I was also stuck by the company. They said that my agent must be present to help me sign, but my agent is very busy. If he doesn't show up today, I'm wondering if he will be replaced by the director tomorrow."

Wang Hongdou is also among this group of young actors.

But she is different, she is an individual actor, not signed to any company, and can make her own decisions.

After reading the contract, he signed his name in a flamboyant manner.
