Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 1 A Gentle Smile

March 2010, Shanghai University of Technology, filming location for the drama "Love Announcement".

"When shooting, the lens should be 15 degrees to the side. This will highlight the three-dimensionality of the character and enhance the atmosphere of the picture."

"Yifei, when you speak your lines, your voice should be brighter, not so weak."

“Wang Lao Er is great!”

Fang Hong wanted to say something in the end, but he kept his mouth shut.

He is just a proxy photographer. He is the real director, financier and leading actor. We can't afford to offend him.

Under his professional guidance and coordination, the crew quickly made adjustments, and Liu Tianxian also took a deep breath and began to act with Wang Laoer.
Fang Hongze sat in the director's chair, crossed his legs, and watched the childish and awkward acting of the two leading actors on the monitor without saying anything.

That's enough. If you say too much, people will hate you. Just let him go.

It's not about how much money this job pays, the main thing is that you can act as the director, second only to one person and above hundreds of people!

If I go to another crew, I will be driven around!
His original position was an assistant director intern, and his job was to arrange work for extras according to the shooting schedule and to pick up and drop off actors.

To put it simply, it means being a driver and doing odd jobs.

For some reason, one of the assistant directors suddenly quit, and Wang Laoer couldn't find anyone to take his place. The crew would lose hundreds of thousands of dollars if they were delayed for one day, which made him very anxious.

Then, when I heard that Fang Hong was from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, I temporarily brought him in to take his place.

Unexpectedly, after taking over, he was able to direct the crew in an orderly manner, and the filming effect was higher than that of any previous assistant director. This surprised Wang Laoer, so he decided to let him take over the filming.

This was Wang Laoer’s first time as a director and he was very unprofessional, so he invited a lot of professionals to assist him in making the movie.

His abilities are limited, so he needs professionals to help him take photos.

If you have money, you can be so willful!
The reason why Fang Hong is so professional in filming is that he is a reborn person. He is 22 years old this year and a senior student in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy.

When I was reborn half a month ago, I was already interning in this crew.

He remembered that in his previous life, he had no way out after graduation, so he hung around in various film crews, doing photography, screenwriting, lighting, makeup, and focus adjustment. He did everything.

It's a pity that he has an ordinary family background and no high-end connections. After several years of being mediocre and his career has not made any progress. It happened that the pay in the film and television industry increased greatly, and supporting roles could earn tens of thousands, so he changed his career and became an actor.

This is normal. Many people in the film and television industry do everything, even if there is no work to do, they will do supporting roles.

If no film crew wants you in this industry, you will have no work and no food to eat. It's not like working at a job where you can get a guaranteed income regardless of the weather.

After that, I acted for a few years and accumulated some savings, which happened to be the time when traffic exploded and online dramas became all the rage.

So he became a director and producer, and teamed up with his friends to shoot a web drama.

When online dramas first became popular, censorship was very lax and ghosts were allowed to appear in horror films.

After strict management, as long as the plot is acceptable, the male and female protagonists are good-looking, have great bodies, and show a little bit of exposure, you can make money by doing some marginal management.

With his keen sense of smell, Fang Hong worked hard in the circle for more than ten years and finally became the boss of a film and television production company.

Can smoke cigars, qualified to be a potential actress!
But before he could enjoy it, he was hit and killed by a car while driving.

After being hit and killed, I was reborn in this original place, a period of time when I was about to graduate from school and had to start my hard struggle from the beginning.

It’s really annoying just thinking about it!
"Crack!"

When a segment was finished, Fang Hong quickly picked up the loudspeaker and shouted.

"That's all for today." Wang Laoer stopped acting and waved his hand, signaling the crew to pack up. Hearing the instructions from the real director, the crew was delighted and the crew was filled with a relaxed atmosphere.

When they were shooting before, they had to work 12 hours a day, but since this "fake" director came, it now only takes 8 hours to complete the shooting task.

Soon, the crew members were packing up the equipment and instruments in an orderly manner, sealing boxes and loading trucks. It was a busy scene.

When Fang Hong saw Wang Laoer and Liu Tianxian walking towards him, he tactfully moved away and gave up the director's seat.

He pointed at the monitor and said, "This is the clip just filmed, you two can take a look."

Wang Laoer sat in the director's seat naturally and began to check the shooting scenes.

Liu Tianxian put his hands behind his back, bent slightly, and looked at the monitor!
Fang Hong looked at her curiously. She was dressed simply, wearing frameless glasses, had a fair face, and had a fresh and refined temperament, which was very pleasing to the eye.

She filmed this movie without makeup, and she is truly a natural beauty!
Although Fang Hong was a boss in his previous life, he had never seen Liu Tianxian in the circle.

It's just because their circles are different. The ones he shoots are either scary horror movies or web dramas that show breasts and thighs. How can they fit in with Liu Tianxian's circle?

"The photo is great. The light looks fresh and there's a real sense of atmosphere." Liu Tianxian praised.

This video was shot in the sunset, with her holding the bicycle with both hands, walking and chatting with Wang Laoer.

As the sun shines, the picture has a fresh and hazy feeling, very beautiful!
"These are all auxiliary. The main thing is that you acted well and naturally without being pretentious." Fang Hong spoke up immediately. He had just been complaining in his mind about the awkward acting of these two people.

Hearing this, Liu Tianxian looked up at the man. It was the first time someone praised her like this. She didn’t know whether it was a real compliment or a fake one.

In fact, she knows her own level very well.

Fang Hong looked at her and gave her a gentle smile.

This smile was quite infectious. Liu Tianxian looked away, patted Wang Laoer on the shoulder, and said, "I'll go back first."

"Okay, then go slower." Wang Laoer waved his hand casually.

Liu Tianxian has experienced cyber violence and has been silent for two years. This is her first drama after her comeback, and her whole state has changed after her comeback.

She has become much more indifferent to things, as if she doesn't care about anything, and she is less lively and cute than before.

Maybe it's because I've matured!
Wang Lao Er was quite impressed by what Fang Hong had just said. He stood up and said, "Good shot! Keep up the good work."

Although it was encouragement, the tone was a little bland.

Fang Hong didn't care. This was what it was like to be in a crew with a low status. He had experienced a lot of this in his previous life.

"The director's satisfaction is the greatest affirmation for me," he said.

Wang Lao Er smiled, leaned in and whispered, "I want to add a kissing scene at the end, what do you think?"

"Oh, does Miss Liu know?" Fang Hong asked.

"She doesn't know, you go and inform her and let her know." Wang Laoer said.

This LSP, who is in his forties, still wants to kiss a young girl. He doesn't even say anything, so he goes and says it.

"Okay, I'll go talk to her."

Fang Hong paused and said, "But Director, I'm short of money recently. Can you give me a little more money?"

"No problem, add it!" Wang Laoer agreed.
