Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 11: The stage manager knows martial arts, even gods can't stop him

"Dureth?"

Director Li didn't understand at first.

After a while, he roared: "Which bastard is using Durex? He threw it around randomly. Pick it up for me."

But a pity.

No one admits to this kind of thing.

Director Li had no choice but to ask the crew to pick up Durex and throw it into the trash can.

But after this incident, Director Li looked at Chen Cheng with a higher opinion of him.

"with your's."

Although Director Li saw Chen Cheng early in the morning, he felt a little unhappy.

even.

He was also thinking that if this guy didn't do a good job as a recorder today, he would like to scold him.

Unexpectedly.

Not only was Chen Cheng's script supervisor extremely competent, he even exceeded Director Li's expectations.

Just like these bloopers.

Not to mention the script supervisor, even the photographer and director... often can't find it.

Or so you would say.

Isn't this kind of blunder a piece of cake? How could it happen?
But precisely because it is so childish, it will pop up if you are not careful.

It's just like when we write.

As I write, typos appear.

Sometimes even if you check it yourself, you can't find it.

"Did you hear me? What are you guys doing? Am I just talking about Durex? Deal with these mistakes quickly."

He yelled at the people behind the scenes again, and they quickly fixed the mistake.

……

After some repairs, the first shot of the day was taken again.

Chen Cheng clapped his hands and typed out the script.

Fortunately.

Because of what happened just now, everyone was more careful and serious, and there were no mistakes in the next shot.

However, although the blooper was resolved on this side, problems still arose during the continued filming.

"Assistant Director Yang, this shot is not good. It keeps stretching the scene and we can't capture the details of the actors' movements and expressions."

Next to the monitor, Director Li looked at the footage that had just been shot and said to Assistant Director Yang, "We need to make the whole scene move. In this way, let the photographer hold the camera and follow the actors while shooting."

"it is good."

Deputy Director Yang gave the order.

The photographer tried Director Li's method.

Director Li took a look at the test shots and was quite satisfied: "Yes, this is how it works, let's shoot it like this."

So continue.

But problems soon arose again.

Although we shot the film while running according to Director Li's method, the filming was indeed good.

But after running for a while, the photographer couldn't hold on any longer.

"Director, I can't run anymore."

"What's going on? You can't run anymore after running for a while?"

Director Li was a little angry.

Deputy Director Yang at the side noticed the situation and whispered, "Director Li, the camera is a bit heavy. It's fine to shoot it in one place, but most people can't stand running and shooting at the same time."

"What should I do? You can't let me carry the camera and shoot."

"Or, I'll go find a martial artist to try."

"alright."

Director Li nodded.

soon.

Assistant Director Yang called a martial artist over.

have to say.

This martial artist is in much better physical shape than that photographer.

Even if he just carried the camera and ran and shot at the same time, he had no problem doing it.

But a pity.

The problems that followed became even bigger.

This martial artist does have good physical fitness, but he knows nothing about photography.

The shots taken in this way are either severely shaky or crooked, failing to highlight the key points.

Although the photographer gave some guidance to the martial artist later.

But it is unprofessional after all.

His profession is martial arts.

Ask him to fight and kill, that's his specialty.

But if you ask him to take the photo, I'm sorry, this is his shortcoming.

"Headache."

Director Li was a little depressed.

A shot with a little bit of movement is so complicated.

"How about, Director Li, let me give it a try?"

Chen Cheng stood up at this time.

"You?" Director Li was stunned: "What are you trying? You come to shoot it?"

“I learned a little bit of photography before.”

Chen Cheng explained.

last life.

Although Chen Cheng's acting career did not develop smoothly.

But at least I have been in this circle for more than ten years.

So he has some knowledge about photography.

Maybe you will say.

Chen Cheng's photography attribute is only 30, the lowest among all attributes.

But actually.

Photography is different from other things.

For example, in writing, even if ordinary people do not receive professional training, some people can reach 40 or 50.

Some talented people can reach level 60 directly.

There are even some geniuses who are above 70.

But photography.

Excuse me.

The average person’s understanding of photography is definitely below 10.

The same goes for director attributes.

Therefore, Chen Cheng’s photography attribute of 30 points is actually not low, it is just slightly lower than that of professional photographers.

But Chen Cheng felt that he should have no problem completing today's shot.

"Director Li, Chen Cheng's physical fitness is pretty good. Why not let him try?"

Deputy Director Yang on the side also said.

"Okay, you try."

Although he didn't hold out much hope, there wasn't a better solution at the moment, so Director Li agreed.

"Photography teacher, give it to me."

Chen Cheng walked to the camera.

The photographer was a little skeptical: "You know how to take photos? I'll adjust the parameters for you."

"Thank you, I'll learn a little."

After taking the camera, Chen Cheng adjusted the parameters very smoothly according to the instructions he had learned in the equipment guide.

Director Li was a little surprised to see Chen Cheng adjusting various parameters with great skill.

Although Chen Cheng had previously rejected his fellow actors.

However, with the series of abilities that Chen Cheng has demonstrated now, the so-called supporting actor before is no longer a big deal.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready."

"Okay, let's start..."

Another staff member picked up Chen Cheng's previous clapperboard.

With a click, Chen Cheng held the camera and started filming.

In the camera, the action actor runs and Chen Cheng follows him.

The actor in the camera jumped up, and Chen Cheng jumped up too.

The actor in the camera lay down, and Chen Cheng followed suit.

The actors in the camera...

"Director Li, Chen Cheng is a talented kid. He has such strong physique and can also take photos."

Deputy Director Yang and action director Director Xie were amazed when they saw Chen Cheng carrying the camera on the set.

"That's right. He was originally a stagehand. He has no problem doing martial arts. Being a stagehand is a waste of his talent."

Director Li smiled.

Action director Xie Dao also said: "I really can't understand why this guy is a script supervisor when he can be an action actor."

"I can't figure it out either."

Deputy Director Yang also nodded.

But this time.

Looking at Chen Cheng who was filming in front of him, Director Li suddenly seemed to understand something and said, "Haha, do you think this little guy just wants to be a script supervisor?"

……

"OK, this one passes."

After the shooting was over, Assistant Director Yang said loudly.

Although this shot is not long, it needs to be captured from all angles.

Also, because Chen Cheng was the only one shooting this scene, there was only one camera position.

So if you want to show other angles, you have to shoot it again.

so repeatedly.

So, even though it was only a shot of more than a minute, it took more than an hour to shoot.

Fortunately, the play "Wang Zhaojun" is not a martial arts drama, it just has occasional action scenes.

After filming this action scene, the following shots became simpler.

Chen Cheng no longer needed to carry the camera and returned to his role as the clerk.

After a day of filming, Chen Cheng was completely recognized by Director Li and Assistant Director Yang.

At the same time.

Chen Cheng's photography skills also achieved the first rapid growth after he personally practiced with a camera today.
