1979: The child's mother is a celestial being.

Chapter 67 Contradictions
"Fusheng, how is your daughter now? Has her fever stopped?"

Chen Qian suddenly developed a high fever the night before last, so Chen Fusheng didn't come to the film set yesterday. He took a day off and stayed at the hospital with his wife to take care of their daughter.

Then yesterday afternoon, after Han Sanping finished filming, he went to the hospital with Miao Jinfeng, Gong Xue and others to visit him.

The fever had actually subsided by then.

So when Chen Fusheng first arrived at the film set today, everyone looked at him with concern.

With dark circles under his eyes, Chen Fusheng gave everyone a grateful look, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you for your concern. My daughter is all better now, but she's still too young, so the doctor suggested she stay in the hospital for another day of observation. My wife is with her at the hospital now, and I'll go over there after I finish filming."

"That's good."

Everyone offered their blessings.

Han Sanping asked, "You don't look too well. I guess you haven't had a proper rest these past two days. Do you want to go get some sleep?"

"I actually slept for two or three hours last night, and I'm not sleepy now, so let's take the photos first."

"Okay." Seeing Chen Fusheng's insistence, Han Sanping didn't try to persuade him further. He stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Then go get your makeup done first. We'll finish filming your scenes today so you can finish work early and go to the hospital."

"Okay." At this moment, Chen Fusheng didn't pretend to be polite, nodded and walked towards the dressing room.

'What's going on? The atmosphere on set seems a bit off today.'

Chen Fusheng hadn't had much rest these past two days, but he was still in good spirits.

It was quite noticeable that the atmosphere on set today was much more oppressive than usual.

'It can't be my imagination, right?'

Chen Fusheng then walked into the dressing room. The crew only had one dressing room, and everyone, regardless of the size of their role, came here to get their makeup done.

So when Chen Fusheng entered the dressing room, he found that Gong Xue, who would be his co-star later, was also getting her makeup done. After a brief greeting, he sat down and casually asked:
"Why is the film set so quiet today? Did something happen?"

Gong Xue's eyes visibly darted away.

It was difficult to answer, but it was also difficult not to answer, so I could only express it tactfully:

“Yesterday, when you weren’t here, the director and the two cinematographers had a little argument because of their different ideas about filming.”

"dispute?"

Chen Fusheng thought to himself, no wonder he felt something was off about the atmosphere on set when he arrived today; it turned out they had a conflict.

Then, he glanced at the door and, seeing no one outside, curiously inquired about the cause and outcome.

Gong Xue was too embarrassed to answer, but the staff who did her makeup were much less reserved.

It was just a bit disorganized, so Chen Fusheng listened and summarized as he went.

The gist is that both photographers had their own ideas, but the results they produced based on those ideas did not satisfy Han Sanping.

Unfortunately, director Han Sanping was unable to accurately describe the kind of image he wanted, or rather, he himself did not know what kind of effect he wanted. He simply felt that the photographer's shot was not quite right, so he wanted it to be better.

If Han Sanping were a great director, or a very experienced director, his idea would be perfectly reasonable.

The problem is that he is too young, and his directing skills are still lacking in the eyes of the two veteran cinematographers.

Therefore, the two cinematographers subconsciously felt that the young director Han Sanping was not satisfied with the shots they had taken, not because there was a problem with their shots, but because there was a problem with the director's vision.

To put it more bluntly, it's disrespectful to them and deliberately making things difficult for them.

This led to a conflict.

However, in Chen Fusheng's view, the conflict between the two sides should not have started yesterday, but may have been sown as early as when the filming began.

It just so happened that we reached a critical point yesterday.

"And then what? How was the problem solved?"

Chen Fusheng continued to ask.

"Later, the two photographers told Director Han, 'From now on, you can shoot however you want.'" Clearly, the conflict between the two sides was never resolved.

That's not a nice thing to say either.

It seemed like the photographer had compromised with the director, but in reality, it was a strategic retreat that put the director in a difficult position.

Because everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, not all directors are all-around directors who are familiar with every position on the film crew.

Coincidentally, Han Sanping was not one of them either.

"Hey~"

Chen Fusheng sighed wearily.

Before filming even started last week, their production efficiency was far below expectations. Chen Fusheng had originally thought that the efficiency would improve once everyone got used to each other.

But this is the current situation.

Forget about improving efficiency, it probably can't even keep up with the previous filming speed, and it'll have to be reduced.

However, in this matter, both sides have their own reasons, so pursuing who is right and who is wrong is not very meaningful.

The key is to resolve the conflict as soon as possible and get the production crew back on track.

Of course, this is not an easy matter.

Moreover, Chen Fusheng is already troubled enough by his daughter's illness, and doesn't have the energy to act as a mediator between the two parties.

So after finishing his makeup, he pretended he knew nothing, obediently finished filming his scenes for the day, and then went to the hospital early.

The good news is that my daughter hasn't had a recurring high fever since yesterday afternoon, and we can now process her discharge from the hospital.

"Sheng-ge, you're not feeling well. You've been staying up late these past two days, and you filmed all day today. Go and get some rest." Liu Xiaoli saw her husband yawning all the way home and, feeling sorry for him, urged him to go to sleep as soon as they got home.

"I'm really struggling to keep going, so I'll leave it to you to take care of our daughter for a bit longer."

After finishing his conversation, Chen Fusheng quickly washed up, went back to bed, and fell asleep in less than thirty seconds.

After feeding her daughter, Liu Xiaoli held her and lay down next to her husband.

As she looked at it, her eyelids drooped.

Only the baby seems to be in good spirits.

Fortunately, the little guy had just finished eating and was quite well-behaved, not making a fuss. He was just grabbing at the air with his little hands and making little babbling sounds, having a lot of fun by himself.

……

Han Sanping was a little confused.

When filming "Cow," although he worked very hard every day, the hardship was only physical; his soul was filled with joy.

However, during the filming of "Andhadhun", he felt not only physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted.

Especially after the conflict with the photographer broke out, he felt physically and mentally exhausted these past two days.

Of course, Han Sanping did not place all the blame on the two photographers, because he also knew that his directing skills were indeed lacking.

The success of "Cow" was primarily due to two factors: firstly, the film was less complex than their current project, "Andhadhun," and secondly, the "Cow" crew used familiar faces from Emei Film Studio...

This situation can't go on like this. Han Sanping felt that he couldn't let himself drag down the entire crew.

and so--

"What? You want to quit?"

Chen Fusheng finally calmed down and was thinking of helping to mediate the conflict within the crew. However, before he could even take action, Han Sanping came to him and said he wanted to change the director of "The Tuner".

Damn it, isn't this bullshit...?

　The reason for designing this chapter's conflict is that if Lao Han doesn't step down, how can the protagonist take over?
