Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 101 From today on, please call Chen Cheng Director Chen.

"Coach Chen, why can't this structure be installed?"

"This is not in the right position. The mortise and tenon structure is not like this. I'll draw it for you."

Chen Cheng didn't care what the deputy art director was responsible for.

Anyway.

Chen Cheng was extremely busy during the time he was on the crew.

Not to mention anything else.

Just in terms of setting the scene, there are a series of things to do.

Bricklaying is just a small matter.

Even more complicated is the structural design of the palace.

This design was originally designed.

But a good design does not mean that the construction can be completed right away.

in particular.

Director Zhang Yi has very strict requirements. The beams above his head must be made of wood.

in this way.

Chen Cheng often served as a technician in this area.

Chen Cheng is responsible for wherever there is a problem.

Another example is clothing.

When it comes to clothing, art is the most important thing.

Before clothing can be formed, it must be designed.

This design is more than just designing a set of clothes.

The costumes designed must be consistent with the plot and even memorable.

This area is actually under the responsibility of a specific costume designer.

There is also clothing guidance for the clothing area.

However, all their previous plans were overturned by Zhang Yi.

until.

When Chen Cheng designed a set of golden armor, he found the direction for the costume team.

"Director Zhang, let Chen Cheng come to our set design team. We need him."

"No, come to our costume team. The bra designed by Director Chen is the most domineering bra I have ever seen. It reflects the characteristics of the queen very well."

"Don't compete with me, you have to come to our makeup team. Director Chen's Tang Palace style is completely consistent with ours."

"You should come to our photography team...ah, you are questioning whether Director Chen can take photos. You are blind. Look at these photos. They are all artistic photos."

Ok.

In order to balance the relationship between the groups, Chen Cheng became someone who did not belong to any group, but still went to every group.

……

"Chen Cheng, are you tired?"

"Fortunately."

"Haha, everyone in the crew says you are good at everything."

"Director Zhang, you're joking. All you know are skills that don't have much use."

"Hey, how can it be useless? Many people seem to have a lot of theories, but they are useless when it comes to practice. You are good at both theory and practice, keep up the good work."

Patting Chen Cheng on the shoulder, Zhang Yi was very pleased with Chen Cheng.

Although he did take some care of Chen Cheng when he recruited him.

But Chen Cheng's performance after joining the crew shocked him again and again.

Let’s just say it’s a name change.

Don't underestimate this as just a small name change.

This name change is not only more domineering and nicer than the original one.

More importantly.

This name fits the theme of the script better than the original one.

even.

This name also allows all departments of the crew to better understand the positioning and artistic treatment of the film.

Now let's talk about art.

Chen Cheng is not only very experienced in art, but his performance in practical operations also conquered all crew members.

This is what makes Zhang Yi most satisfied.

That is.

Chen Cheng was able to understand what he meant and quickly took countermeasures.

This made Zhang Yi feel that Chen Cheng had the potential to become a great director.

But Chen Cheng wouldn't say that.

I have watched your movie "Curse of the Golden Flower" countless times. It would be strange if I didn't understand what you mean.

Although Chen Cheng understood what Zhang Yi meant, he was not very satisfied with the story of the movie "Curse of the Golden Flower".

This story comes from the drama "Thunderstorm".

However, Thunderstorm is a drama, and some of its elements cannot support such a large scene.

So the screenwriter moved the thunderstorm to a historical dynasty around the Tang Dynasty and presented it in the form of a court struggle.

But let's be honest.

Those who have watched "Curse of the Golden Flower" in the previous life did not think that this story was interesting.

Everyone is attracted by Zhang Yi's fame and the grand scenes of the drama.

Chen Cheng, deputy art director.

Naturally, I have no right to interfere with the script.

Even if I could give some suggestions, it would not change the direction of the script.

However, the movie "Curse of the Golden Flower" is really a big production.

To put it bluntly, it means being rich.

What does having money mean?
Having money means you can do whatever you want.

Then.

At this time, it was simply heaven for the people in charge behind the scenes.

because.

Here you can give full play to all your skills and talents.

Just like clothing.

Chen Cheng suggested making a set of golden armor for the male protagonist, the emperor.

This proposal.

moment.

The suggestion was adopted.

He actually purchased dozens of kilograms of gold and hand-made a set of golden armor.

After this set of armor came out, it almost blinded Chen Cheng's eyes.

Chen Cheng also proposed.

A special safe must be installed for this set of armor.

To know.

The gold on this suit alone is worth several million.

If it gets stolen, I'll be really upset.

……

"Xiao Wu, don't sleep in, it's time to work."

Chen Cheng Studio.

This is the personal studio that Chen Cheng opened in order to sign a contract with Hengdian Film and Television.

Currently there are only three people in the company, Chen Cheng, Xiao Wu, and Da Long.

As for reception, no.

Chen Cheng doesn't really develop his business, so he doesn't need it.

After the crew had gained a foothold, Chen Cheng returned to his personal studio.

"Brother Cheng, what crew?"

"The whole city is covered with golden armor."

"Director Zhang?"

"Correct."

"Brother Cheng, please don't scare me."

"Why would I scare you?"

When talking about this crew, Xiao Wu and Da Long shouted out excitedly.

"Brother Cheng, can you help us get into the crew?"

"Correct."

"Do you want to do some odd jobs?"

"Pfft..."

Chen Cheng burst into tears: "Why are you asked to do odd jobs? Assistant makeup artist, help a makeup artist over there, do you want to do it?"

"Dry."

Without thinking, Xiao Wu nodded loudly.

Don’t underestimate this person as just a small assistant makeup artist. He can even be said to be the lowest-level person in the makeup team.

but.

It depends on which crew.

In Director Zhang’s crew, even if you are just an assistant makeup artist, you have to brag about it for a long time when you talk about it to others.

What's more, this is not bragging, this is a real resume.

"Brother Cheng, what about me? What about me?"

Dalong was also very excited and said, "I don't know how to put on makeup."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Why would you, a rough fellow, need to put on makeup? No one wants you. I have negotiated with the assistant director of actors there and have secured a special role for you. It's a promising role. Maybe you can appear in the camera for 1 second. Do you want to do it?"

"Brother Cheng, really?"

"nonsense."

Chen Cheng nodded.

Although he is just an assistant art director.

But during this period, he was doing pretty well in the crew.

Especially behind the scenes, many assistant directors would give Chen Cheng face.

Chen Cheng is not a man who would seek more than he deserves, nor is he too ambitious to want every position.

He just used the resources at his disposal to get some small benefits for the two studio members.

That's why Chen Cheng was able to squeeze it in with the help of Xiao Wu and Da Long.

But this small amount of power has made the two of them so excited that they couldn't sleep for several days.

……

"Junior brother, why are you here?"

It's a brand new day, and Chen Cheng is preparing to go to another set.

At this time, a voice came from the nearby crew.

Chen Cheng took a look and saw that it was Junior Sister Liu Yifei.

"Little Sister, why are you here?"

“I’m filming here.”

"Oh, what movie?"

"Love winner."

"It seems like a movie?"

"It's a youth romance movie. My mom said that it will be a trend in movies in the future, so she asked me to give it a try."

"Auntie is right."

Seeing an old acquaintance, Chen Cheng and Liu Yifei started chatting.

Liu Yifei said with some envy: "Junior brother, I heard that you joined Director Zhang's crew."

"Yes."

"congratulations."

"Junior Sister, I am just doing odd jobs on the crew."

"You're lying to Senior Sister again, aren't you? Humph...Are you afraid that I'll beg you for the role?"

"No, I don't have the authority to do that. It's useless even if you beg me."

Just saying.

Someone from the crew shouted, "Yi Fei, why are you still standing there chatting? Your scene is about to start... Hey, Director Chen."

"You recognize me?"

Chen Cheng was a little surprised.

Liu Yifei on the side quickly introduced to Chen Cheng, "Junior brother, this is our assistant director Zhang Kai."

"Zhang Kai, this name sounds familiar."

Chen Cheng felt like he had heard of it before.

Then Zhang Kai said, "Director Chen, we met last time at Director Huo's dinner."

"Oh, you are Director Zhang that Director Huo mentioned. I remember, I remember."

Director Huo is the art director of Curse of the Golden Flower.

Chen Cheng had a good relationship with him and they would often get together for dinner.

Last time Director Huo hosted a dinner party, he also invited Zhang Kai to come over.

Unexpectedly, I met him here.

"Director Zhang, this is my junior sister. Please take good care of her in the future."

"That's necessary."

Zhang Kai said, "Director Chen, this is my business card. Let's talk more when we have time."

He handed the business card to Chen Cheng.

Then Zhang Kai leaned close to Chen Cheng's ear and said, "Director Chen, please mention it to Director Huo more often in the future. I also want to participate in big productions."

"Don't worry, Director Zhang, I'll tell Director Huo later."

Chen Cheng patted his chest loudly.

Anyway, I'm not talking to him, I'm talking to Director Huo.

Whether Director Huo can remember him is Director Huo’s business and has nothing to do with him.

"Thank you so much, Director Chen."

"Director Zhang is just being polite."

Seeing that Liu Yifei's play was about to start, Chen Cheng did not want to delay them and said, "You guys are busy, I'll go over there and take a look."

"Yi Fei, Director Chen is really your junior fellow apprentice?"

Watching Chen Cheng leave, Zhang Kai asked Liu Yifei.

"of course."

Liu Yifei nodded: "We are both from Beijing Film Academy, but I am a few years older than him."

"You will be blessed in the future."

Zhang Kai was extremely envious: "Let's go, let's shoot."

"Okay, Director Zhang."

Liu Yifei looked ahead.

Chen Cheng was no longer visible in front.

but.

In his heart, Liu Yifei said, "Little Junior Brother, don't run so fast. I can hardly catch up with you."

……

"Mi Mi, what's going on recently? I haven't seen you in the class group."

"I'm so busy, I don't have the time."

"How does Chen Cheng have time? Chen Cheng brags in the class group every day."

"I'm not like him. He's a great director."

"He said he was laying bricks in Hengdian."

"Pfft..."

Beijing Film Academy's "Three Sisters" small group.

There are only three people in the group: Yuan Shanshan, Zhang Xiaofei, and Yang Mi.

"You believe this too."

"I don't believe it, but he is really laying bricks."

"Not only does he lay bricks, he also does carpentry work."

"You guys..."

Pressing her temple, Yang Mi said, "He really has become a great director."

"what?"

"You don't know?"

"What do you know?"

"Chen Cheng joined the crew of Curse of the Golden Flower as deputy art director."

"Ah, this is true."

The two were stunned.

"What do you mean really? Am I lying to you?"

"No, Mimi... When Chen Cheng asked for leave to go to Hengdian, he said that Director Zhang invited him to join the crew. We thought he was talking nonsense and that he was stimulated by something."

"Okay, now we know how fast he's moving. Why don't you hurry up and hug him? Even though Chen Cheng is now the deputy art director. When the directors in my group see him outside, they have to call him Director Chen."

"so smart?"

"There's nothing we can do. Chen Cheng is now in a top-notch crew with top-notch resources that are incomparable to those of an ordinary crew."

This is the truth.

Don't underestimate Yang Mi, who is now a little famous.

But it can be placed in front of Chen Cheng.

Maybe we could have discussed it with each other before.

Now, it's not even on the same level anymore.

"Sister, I thought this guy was a joke."

Zhang Xiaofei made a shameful expression.

Yang Mi rolled her eyes: "You regret it now."

"I regret it now. I should have curried favor with him earlier. This guy treats us to midnight snacks every day, and we never pay for it."

"It's not too late. You know this guy has good character and is very loyal."

"really."

"That's not a big deal. Although Chen Cheng is the deputy art director, everyone who can join this crew is a monster. See if you can use Chen Cheng's connections to get one or two prospects or something."

"I would like to, but I don't dare now."

"Why not?"

"You have to stand on tiptoe to see him, and we little shrimps are even more cowardly."

Yuan Shanshan and Zhang Xiaofei sighed and said helplessly.
