In the entertainment industry, everyone has been reborn, but who will be their servant?

Chapter 31 Dog Shot

"The script supervisor should check the shot numbers and cuts according to the checklist, and take photos of the actors' costumes and prop positions to avoid giving away any mistakes."

"Turn the lights up a little bit more."

"Extend the microphone pole forward a little more, but be careful not to get it into the frame."

"Camera zoom in, get ready for a close-up."

With Qin Xuan's methodical command and coordination, the initially somewhat disorganized team members quickly adjusted and got into shooting mode.

The actors then took their positions and began their performances.

Although it is daytime now, the filming takes place in an enclosed space, which allows us to simulate nighttime.

When Liu Yifei arrived, she saw that the crew members were all very serious and the scene was very quiet. The only sound was the voices of a few actors reciting their lines at the filming location.

During filming, sound recording is required, so it must be kept quiet; this applies to any film crew.

She didn't say anything, but silently walked behind Qin Xuan and watched him sitting in the director's chair, leaning back, his eyes fixed on the monitor.

Qin Xuan noticed something, turned around, and saw Liu Yifei looking down at him with a mischievous smile.

"Oh my, Teacher Liu is here." Qin Xuan was quite surprised and quickly got up.

This suddenly broke the silence, and the actors and crew on set stopped filming and looked over curiously.

It was quite unexpected to see Liu Yifei.

"Everyone, please welcome Teacher Liu to inspect our work." Qin Xuan clapped enthusiastically.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd, as there were already quite a few people there.

"Oh, there's no need for that." Liu Yifei said, feeling a little embarrassed.

I blushed from everyone's enthusiasm!
She originally just wanted to watch them film quietly and didn't intend to disturb them, but Qin Xuan's actions made her the focus of the crew.

After all, many of the people here are alumni of the Beijing Film Academy and some people from the Central Academy of Drama, and their academic knowledge is higher than hers.

Of course, I was still quite happy and satisfied.

"I just came to check on things, I hope I didn't disturb you!" Liu Yifei said apologetically.

"How can you say your visit is a disturbance? It should be an honor, an affirmation of our work, right?" Qin Xuan looked at the others.

“Yes, your presence makes our work even more energetic!” Zhang Linke said with a smile.

The others just smiled without saying anything. They were actually quite excited to see Liu Yifei, after all, she was beautiful and a big star, and they didn't usually have the chance to meet her.

"How about Teacher Liu says a few words to everyone?" Qin Xuan invited.

Liu Yifei was speechless. She nudged him with her elbow. This was really too much. He was clapping, saying it was an honor, and giving a speech. She wasn't a leader.

"I'm not going to talk anymore, you guys do your thing, I'll just take a look," she said.

"In that case, let's take a break first, and we'll continue filming later." Qin Xuan gestured for everyone to rest.

"Look, now that Teacher Liu is here, we can finally rest. We usually don't have time to rest," someone laughed.

Laughter erupted on set, lightening the atmosphere considerably. In reality, filming isn't as idyllic as it appears in videos; it's a rather tedious process.

Liu Yifei smiled slightly, glanced at Qin Xuan, and told him that he could stop.

After a warm welcome party, the crew members put down their work, and actors such as Zhang Songwen and Tan Zhuo went to remove their makeup and change clothes.

"Really, I was just looking, what are you doing?" Liu Yifei couldn't help but complain.

If people find out, they'll say she's being arrogant.

"The major shareholder is here, so we definitely need to make a big show of it. Otherwise, what if we neglect them and they withdraw their investment?" Qin Xuan said with a smile.

"Go to hell." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him.

Even if she withdraws her investment, it won't affect the production team in the slightest, because they haven't put all their eggs in one basket, unless all sixty-plus investors withdraw their investment, or some major accident occurs.

Liu Yifei looked around. The scene was a supermarket, with various filming equipment and tracks laid out, looking quite realistic.

She said, "This is great! Show me around!"

"Okay," Qin Xuan agreed.

The two walked to a shelf, and Liu Yifei picked up a bottle of drink from it and asked, "Is this real?"

"They're fake. All the products are fake; they only have the outer packaging," Qin Xuan said.

"Oh"

Liu Yifei indicated that she understood, walked up to the camera, and touched it, saying, "This is a digital camera, right?"

"Yes, this is very convenient. It uses a storage method, so actors can shoot multiple times without wasting film," Qin Xuan said.

“That’s great. When we were filming ‘The Forbidden Kingdom,’ we were still using film cameras.” Liu Yifei was quite talkative.

"That's for high-speed scenes. Digital photography can't shoot high-speed scenes now, but one advantage is that it's low-cost and you can watch the playback." Qin Xuan was very knowledgeable.

Film cannot be replayed, but digital can.

Liu Yifei nodded, finding him quite professional, and asked, "Can I see the footage you've filmed?"

She was very interested in what they filmed.

"Of course," Qin Xuan said.

The two returned to the monitor, where Shen Ao and others were watching previously filmed footage.

In this film crew, Shen Ao is the assistant director.

"Show Teacher Liu the footage you filmed earlier," Qin Xuan said, patting him on the shoulder.

"Okay!" The Olympic bid was activated, and the monitor began playing the previously filmed footage.

Since filming has lasted for over ten days and is more than halfway complete, a lot of the filming content can be seen.

Liu Yifei tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, bent down to look at the photo, and said, "It's a pretty good shot. The image is in clear focus, the composition is complete, it conveys emotion, and it's quite attractive."

They only look at the composition, technical aspects, and the ability to convey content, that is, the emotional transmission.

The plot is currently incomprehensible; it hasn't been edited or rearranged.

"This is just because there was no post-production color grading. If post-production were done and sound was added, the effect would be even better," Shen Ao said.

Liu Yifei nodded, then patted Qin Xuan's arm and looked at him with a grin, saying, "Did you really take this picture?"

"The facts are already laid bare." Qin Xuan was utterly speechless.

"Could it be that someone else directed it for him? I heard there's a person who can't direct and hires someone else to do it for him."

Liu Yifei joked, then said to the others, "Right? Have you heard about it?"

The others just smiled and didn't answer, because it was indeed Director Xuan's doing.

I'm curious, though, when did the two of them become so close that they can even joke around with each other?

"I didn't take the picture, the dog did, okay?!" Qin Xuan said anxiously.

"Hahaha!" Everyone present burst into laughter.

This is the first time I've seen President Xuan so emotional. Many people have questioned his filming ability before, and when they had no other choice, they let President Xuan film, but he always patiently explained.

Now Liu Yifei is questioning again, but Liu Yifei had doubts long ago, which made Qin Xuan anxious back then.
