Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 87 The host studies hard and acquires primary plastering skills

"Chen Cheng, how about that art director?"

"Headache, feeling stubborn."

"I found out. Otherwise, why would I ask you to go?"

"Director Yu, what do you want me to do?"

"Well, I don't like this art director very much, nor do I like his designs. But he was sent by CCTV, and I can't do anything about him. But in order to ensure the quality of the film, he must listen to us."

"Okay, I understand."

Chen Cheng nodded.

Although this is an offensive job, Chen Cheng doesn't care much about it.

Say.

This is not considered offending anyone.

As Yu Mingsheng said, if Chen Cheng didn't do it, then only Yu Mingsheng would do it.

Yu Mingsheng is the chief director. If he has a conflict with the producer, it will be even more detrimental to the crew.

Chen Cheng stepped forward, and even if they fell out, there was still Yu Mingsheng to act as a bridge.

not to mention.

Whether it is producer Li Jian or Yu Mingsheng...the overall direction is to make this film well.

As long as the film is made well, no matter how many problems there are in the process, it is not a big deal.

I thought about it.

Chen Cheng came to the set of "The Underworld".

The Netherworld is a location specially created by the crew for the purpose of better filming.

From this, we can see why The Lotus Lantern is such a big production.

In addition to being a CCTV production, the cost of setting the scene was also quite high.

"Hello, Director Chen."

"Hello, Director Chen."

Along the way, the crew members kept greeting Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng nodded: "Where's Director Zhang?"

"He didn't come. He usually comes at 4pm."

"Ah."

Director Zhang is Zhang Pengfei, the art director of The Lotus Lantern.

Chen Cheng looked around from time to time.

In terms of the overall design effect, art director Zhang Pengfei did a good job.

But I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been at CCTV for too long, the whole design is a bit dogmatic.

This is not just one of the scenes in [The Netherworld].

This is also true for places like [Lingxiao Palace], [Queen Mother's Yaochi], [Three Holy Mothers Cave]...

"Director Chen, why are you here?"

At 4 pm, Zhang Pengfei finally arrived.

Seeing Chen Cheng, Zhang Pengfei was a little surprised: "Director Chen, aren't you auditioning?"

"After a few days of audition, Director Yu asked me to come and see how we did in each scene."

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Zhang Pengfei had a moustache and was a rather arrogant person.

Seeing Chen Cheng coming, Zhang Pengfei introduced him: "Director Chen, look... the place built here is the Naihe Bridge."

A visit.

Chen Cheng said, "Director Zhang, this is what I mean. Your overall design is good, but the details are not well handled. For example, the Naihe Bridge looks like an ordinary stone bridge, and the prop Sansheng Stone is just an ordinary stone. The pavilion is relatively simple in design, and I think it can have more shapes... And these scenes are completely irrelevant to the plot, and there is no need to waste this amount of money."

Along the way, Chen Cheng also talked from time to time.

"Director Chen, what you said makes sense. However, you are not a fine arts major. In this regard, I have more say. Mr. Li also came to see our venues a few days ago, and he was quite satisfied with these venues. So..."

"Director Li is only responsible for production, we are the ones who actually shoot the film. I think Director Zhang, you can do better..."

But Zhang Pengfei didn't seem to hear anything Chen Cheng said.

This made Chen Cheng extremely unhappy.

The art director said it was guidance.

But in fact, whether it is the art director or the martial arts director... they all have to listen to the director. But this guy not only didn't listen, but also thought he was the most professional.

In fact.

The art director is indeed very professional in the field of art.

But those who can become directors, even if they are not very good at art, definitely have good aesthetic sense.

Seeing Chen Cheng looking a little depressed, Zhang Pengfei was in a good mood and said, "Director Chen, CCTV sent me to be the art director. It is obvious that they trust me and recognize my art design. If you are not satisfied with these designs, how about you come?"

"I come?"

"Yes."

Zhang Pengfei was very happy: "Everyone in the crew has heard that our first assistant director, Director Chen, is multi-talented. I really want to see if you have any experience in setting the scene."

"Okay, I'll do it. I'll do it."

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Since Director Zhang wants to take a look, I'll do as you wish. You don't have to do the art direction work anymore. I'll take over everything."

"you……"

"Why, didn't you say that?"

"Okay, okay, okay, very good, we'll see."

After glaring at Chen Cheng, Zhang Pengfei left.

……

Underworld.

After Zhang Pengfei left, Chen Cheng did not completely interrupt the set design work of the Netherworld.

Setting the scene is a very expensive job.

If we completely overturn it, not only will we not have enough time, but we will also not have enough funds.

and so.

Chen Cheng could only make improvements based on the original foundation.

The next day.

Chen Cheng returned to the set again.

"Master, is this mason's job difficult? Can you teach me?"

Looking at the mason at work, Chen Cheng asked with great interest.

The master plasterer was a little embarrassed and said, "Director Chen, from what you said, these are just plastering techniques. What's so difficult about it? It's very simple. If you like it, I can teach you."

[System: The host studied hard and acquired the basic plastering skills.]

Looking at a prompt in the system, Chen Cheng was surprised and happy.

Although it was only basic plastering skills, with this skill, Chen Cheng found that his designs could become more specific.

At the same time, such specificity does not just remain on paper.

"Director Chen, you are simply a genius."

Seeing that Chen Cheng could learn it quickly, the mason was amazed.

Chen Cheng said modestly, "It's nothing, Master. I come from a rural area and have watched masonry work since I was a child. Although I didn't know how to do it at the time, I may have memorized it in my heart. Today, Master, I have you to teach me, so I have improved so quickly."

"Hey, Director Chen, I'm from the countryside too. It's hard to make money in the countryside now, so we masons can only go to big cities to make money."

"With your skills, Master, that's just now."

The two of them chatted while doing their plastering work and soon became familiar with each other.

At the same time, all the staff members working in the crew also admired Chen Cheng in their hearts.

Although he is the first assistant director of the crew, he is not arrogant and does not mind the dirt or tiredness, and personally goes to the front line to carry bricks and do the work.

This would be impossible in other crews.

Yes, you see, he even went to learn carpentry.

[System: The host studies hard and obtains elementary carpentry skills.]

Chen Cheng was very happy to acquire his second practical skill.

Don't underestimate the ordinary skills of masons and carpenters.

But a truly high-end series of designs must start from practice.

otherwise.

You are neither a mason nor a carpenter.

Even if the work you designed is just a castle in the air, it cannot be realized without support.
