Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 83 This is a little monster
Half past two in the afternoon.

Chen Cheng was the last person to enter the director's office.

See Chen Cheng come in.

Although the two had read Chen Cheng's information, they still felt that Chen Cheng was too young.

"Hello, Mr. Chen Cheng. I am Li Jian, the producer of The Lotus Lantern, and this is Director Yu Mingsheng. Because time is a bit tight, I can only invite you here for an interview. I hope you don't mind if there is anything wrong with the hospitality."

"Mr. Li, everything is fine."

"In that case, let's get started."

Li Jian finished speaking.

Yu Mingsheng said, "It's written in your profile that you only participated in two crews. One is The Condor Heroes, and the other is The Immortal Sword. You were the assistant martial arts instructor and the assistant director of actors, respectively."

"There should be three crews, and there is one that is not written."

"Oh, which other crew?"

"The crew of Wang Zhaojun."

"Oh, what position do you hold in this crew?"

"Field worker."

"puff……"

Producer Li on the side almost vomited water.

"Teacher Chen Cheng, you are such a good joker."

Yu Mingsheng said coldly.

Before starting, he was actually somewhat interested in Chen Cheng.

But one can come.

But Chen Cheng is so frivolous.

"Director Yu, I'm not kidding. My first job in the crew of Wang Zhaojun was as a stagehand. Half a month later, I became the head of the stagehand team."

Chen Cheng looked serious.

"No, why do you want to work on the spot?"

Seeing that Chen Cheng didn't seem to be lying, Li Jian suddenly became interested and asked, "It seems that you are a student of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy. You shouldn't go to the crew to get some roles or something. Why are you a stagehand?"

"It's a bit embarrassing to say it, but actually the competition in the industry was too fierce and I didn't get many roles. Plus, my family was poor, so I just joined the crew as a laborer."

"Ok."

Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, it is somewhat plausible.

After all, not every student at Beijing Film Academy can get any role.

During my four years of undergraduate study at the Beijing Film Academy, I had never been on a film crew.

"Later, I became a stage manager."

Chen Cheng continued to talk about his experience in the Wang Zhaojun crew.

This once again confused the two of them.

"Why are you taking the spotlight again?"

This time.

Yu Mingxing also asked.

"The main reason was that a script supervisor at the time felt that this job was too tiring, with endless work to do every day and being scolded every day, so he didn't want to do it anymore. I thought that being a script supervisor wouldn't be difficult, and it would be easier than being a stagehand, so I became a script supervisor."

"What happens next?"

"Later, the director thought I was a serious script writer and helped him solve many problems. Then Director Yu of The Return of the Condor Heroes asked me to be his assistant director. Because an assistant director has to do everything, I would often go to the dressing room to learn how to put on makeup."

"You also know how to put on makeup?"

"I know a little bit, but I'm mainly good at character design."

"I also know image design. I..."

The two of them were stunned.

Although Chen Cheng's experience was nothing special.

Some people even think that this is a bit low and not presentable.

They are all very low-level positions.

But the two people who have been working in this industry for decades know.

It is almost impossible for a person to climb up from the bottom.

I don’t know how much effort it takes to get promoted to each position.

But Chen Cheng climbed up step by step from the bottom.

Not only climbed up.

Now he has climbed to the level of assistant director.

If a movie were really made based on Chen Cheng's experience, it would also be a very inspiring drama.

"He has been an assistant martial arts instructor and an assistant director. He is very familiar with the backstage and can do makeup and image design. He should be very good at art. He has also been a stagehand. He should be in good physical condition. As a stage supervisor, this is nothing. It does not require much technical skills. But the fact that he is competent as a stage supervisor also shows that Chen Cheng is meticulous."

The two of them talked quietly for a while.

Yu Mingsheng then nodded and looked at Chen Cheng: "Chen Cheng, just now you said that you are familiar with the behind-the-scenes, often go to the dressing room, and are good at image design. So, you have done some research in the field of art."

“I haven’t studied art systematically, but I have a good aesthetic sense.”

"Well, you have read the script of The Lotus Lantern, right?"

"I've finished reading it." "Can you design a character image on the spot?"

"can."

Chen Cheng nodded: "Director Yu, who do you want to design?"

"Chang'e."

Done.

Director Yu took out a pen and a piece of draft paper from the drawer: "The conditions are a bit simple, just draw a rough one."

"Row."

Not much was said.

Chen Cheng created it on the spot.

Half an hour later.

When the two of them saw the Chang'e painted by Chen Cheng, they stood up excitedly in an instant.

"Chen Cheng, you are so talented in art."

Yu Mingsheng was a little excited.

As a director.

He knows very well what artistic skills mean to a director.

You can be a bad director.

You, the director, don't have to understand filming.

You, the director, may not even know how to teach actors how to act.

But the director's aesthetic taste must far exceed that of ordinary people.

Where does aesthetics come from?

There are a lot of them.

The most effective way is to come from art practice.

Only when you have a deep study of art can you truly understand aesthetics.

"Thank you Director Yu. Maybe the character of Chang'e is more popular, so my drawing is better."

Chen Cheng answered modestly.

Simultaneously.

Chen Cheng was also surprised when he saw the image of Chang'e he had created. It was a much higher level than when he was in school.

It’s just that although the level is high, it doesn’t seem to be reflected in the growth of artistic attributes.

Could it be the effect of Comprehension +1?

Chen Cheng did not investigate further for the time being.

But this time.

When the two looked at Chen Cheng again, they admired him more and more.

"Mr. Li, Director Yu, you guys?"

Seeing the two people staring at him, Chen Cheng couldn't help but take a step back.

"Ahem... Sorry, sorry, I lost my composure just now."

Yu Mingsheng retracted his gaze, leaned close to Li Jian's ear and whispered, "Mr. Li, what do you think of Chen Cheng?"

"me."

Li Jian had a headache.

This is a headache.

It’s not that Chen Cheng’s performance was unsatisfactory.

for him.

Chen Cheng's performance today was truly exceptional.

Not only qualified.

That completely surpassed the previous five directors.

At least.

In terms of talent, the other directors are far inferior to Chen Cheng.

Not to mention, their art level.

"For now, I don't know how to evaluate this little monster."

"Little monster?"

"Isn't he a little monster?"

"Hahaha……"

Yu Mingsheng suddenly burst into laughter: "Director Li, I think I understand what you mean."

After that, he turned to Chen Cheng and said, "Teacher Chen Cheng, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here. That's all for today. If there is any news, we will contact you as soon as possible."

"Ok."

Chen Cheng didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and left the director's office.

ps: There is more in the evening.
