Chapter 297 My Boss of the Crew (Second Update!)
After the dinner, Wang Jinghua left with his artists.

Some of those artists will go to Nanjing next door to shoot "The Founding of a Country", some will stay in Shanghai to shoot magazine covers, and some will go to Hengdian to film a movie.

"Sister Hua, that Tang An will definitely embarrass us when we are filming, what should we do?" Guo Xiaodong said worriedly, with undisguised worry on his face.

Hu Jun snorted coldly, and said disapprovingly, "What are you afraid of him doing? He is not in charge of this film. With Director Han here, he dare not do anything excessive. I haven't seen any tricks in filming for so many years. .”

Guo Xiaodong shook his head, "I've been watching him since then, and he smiles sinisterly from time to time, he must be harboring evil intentions!"

Song Jia, who also had a role in "The Founding of a Country", nodded and agreed, "It's always right to be careful, we don't have many roles, so try not to get caught."

Tong Dawei also said, "If the progress is delayed, Director Han will not be HD."

Cheng Tian is the only four of them who have roles this time, and one of them, Chen Daoming, joined the group a few days ago.

None of them are big stars. When I met a director of Tang An's level, I was somewhat worried.

"All right!"

You said something to me, Wang Jinghua's head felt a little uncomfortable, and she stopped their words.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ming is on the set, I'll give him a call, and you will go to him if you need anything."

Tang An left the banquet at night and took Wang Xiaoming to Nanjing directly. It was already early in the morning, so he didn't go to Han Sanping to say hello, and rested for the night first.

Tang An got up early the next morning, and the hotel where the crew was staying was up and down, apparently it was almost time to start work.

Tang An came to Han Sanping's room, knocked on the door and entered.

Not only Han Sanping, Huang Jianxin is also there, and the two are studying the plot.

"Director Han, Mr. Huang, I'm here to report."

"Director Tang is here, please sit down."

"But Director Tang is here, so our pressure will be less." Huang Jianxin smiled and pulled out the chair for him.

Tang An nodded at him and sat down on the side of the table.

Looking at the tiredness on the faces of Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin, Tang An knew that the filming during this period must not be easy, and he probably won't be able to relax much in the future.

"Han Dong, I'll start shooting today, I've already figured out the script before I came here."

"That's hard work for Director Tang. I just finished filming a movie and I'm going to be busy again."

Han Sanping thanked him, and then said, "Your team has been arranged, and the assistant director should be preparing the first scene now. I'll let someone take you there later."

Then Tang An discussed the script with them again, but he just agreed without making many comments.

To put it bluntly, he is here to help, so it's better not to overdo it, and just finish his work honestly.

After eating breakfast in Han Sanping's room, he followed a crew member to the shooting scene.

Coming to an old-fashioned street, hundreds of people are already busy.

There is a military checkpoint in front, and several group performers playing Guo Jun have already changed their clothes, with automatic rifles hanging around their necks.

The main actors are also in place, Guo Xiaodong who plays the Guojun checkpoint officer, and Chen Daoming who plays Yan Jinwen, the deputy captain of the inspection brigade.

Wang Bing, who played the role of the old revolutionary Zhang Lan, was once known as the "Four Heavenly Kings of Qingyi" and starred in the classic TV series "Towards the Republic".

Now he is 79 years old, and he got up so early in the morning, changed his clothes and sat on a chair waiting.

The elderly come first, Tang An greets the old artist first, "Hi, old man."

The old man was quite energetic, shook hands with Tang An, and said with a smile, "Hello, director."

"Uncle Ming, long time no see."

"Hello, Teacher Bi."

Luo Longji is played by Bi Yanjun, the ex-husband of the late sister Lin.

There are too many actors of the older generation in this play, and they are older than Tang An. I am afraid that they will have to call teacher when they see any of them.

There was the last one, Guo Xiaodong who stood aside and pretended to be calm.

He specifically asked the assistant director in the morning, Tang An really filmed today's scene, and he was worried all morning.

Tang An didn't say anything, but simply greeted him.

"Deputy director!"

With a loud voice, he called the assistant director.

"Oh, Director Tang."

Tang An looked around, "Is the crew ready?"

"It's ready, do you want to go aside first?"

"Are the teachers ready?" Tang An asked them again.

After getting an affirmative answer, go ahead and try.

There is nothing complicated about this scene. Both Wang Bing and Bi Yanjun are sitting in the car. The main thing is the rivalry scene between Chen Daoming and Guo Xiaodong.

They are not newcomers anymore, this kind of drama can't trouble them, and it starts directly after going through it once.

"Every department is ready, and the actors are in place!"

"Scene 87, one shot at a time!"

"start!"

In the camera, three cars and two sidecar three-wheeled motorcycles are coming from here, and the picture is slowly zooming out.

Then the second shot, the camera is behind the convoy.

Guo Xiaodong came out of the small pavilion next to him, took a step and helped the helmet on his head which was obviously crooked.

Chen Daoming immediately opened the car door and came out. While walking forward, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He lowered his head and lit the fire.

Guo Xiaodong gave a military salute, "Yo, Brother Yan."

Chen Daoming flicked the lighter, took one from his mouth and handed it over.

"On duty."

Guo Xiaodong took it and took a sip, "Isn't this a strict investigation recently?"

"Crack!"

After one shot, Tang An unexpectedly yelled "click".

"Uncle Ming, you are very proficient in your posture and technique with two cigarettes in your mouth."

"Isn't this about filming? You'll get used to it after you practice." Chen Daoming took a puff and put out the cigarette without taking any more.

Tang An nodded, and then said, "Guo Xiaodong, when you come out of the pavilion, you should be a little more lazy. The gun rope has slipped down a bit, and after holding up the helmet, hang the gun on your shoulder to your shoulder."

After hearing this, Guo Xiaodong wiped the sweat off his forehead, and quickly replied loudly, "I know the director."

"Get ready, start the second time!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"After taking a big puff of cigarettes, spit on the ground before talking!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Tang An sat in front of the monitor and kept yelling to stop, every time he could solve some small problems of Guo Xiaodong.

However, there was no displeasure on his face, as if it didn't matter if he NGed a few times.

"Okay, let's do it again!"

"Okay, let's go, comrades!"

The NG again and again made Guo Xiaodong more and more nervous, even saying all the lines wrong.

"Crack!"

"Turn your body a little bit, tilt your upper body in the direction of your hand pocket, give a military salute when the convoy is leaving, don't be too standard, just be casual."

NG more than a dozen times in a row, the atmosphere on the scene was a bit strange, everyone was not a newcomer, and the crew members looked at Guo Xiaodong's expression a bit strangely.

Tang An didn't swear at anyone either, he looked very kind with a smile on his face, but to outsiders, this looked much more terrifying than cursing.

Guo Xiaodong also understood in his heart that Tang An did it on purpose, but every time he pointed out a problem with him, he had no choice but to dare to talk back.

Chen Daoming looked at Guo Xiaodong, then at Tang An, he received a call from Wang Jinghua last night, he didn't say anything, just asked him to take care of Guo Xiaodong.

Guo Xiaodong's crime Tang An?

Chen Daoming could only think of this. He had collaborated with Tang An in a movie, so he probably understood his temper.

Although I'm not familiar with Guo Xiaodong, but it's also in the same company, so I have to say something.

Chen Daoming came to the monitor, took a sip and said, "Director Tang, today's first scene didn't go well."

Tang An smiled, "It's inevitable that actors are not in good condition, and I don't blame him, but we can't delay the shooting."

"Now there's only one shot of four or five seconds that hasn't been shot. It's enough to leave half of the people here. Uncle Ming, let's go and shoot the next scene?" Tang An suggested.

"That's fine." Chen Daoming nodded, he couldn't say anything, just one sentence was enough.

Tang An then divided this group of people into two groups, and took them to the next door to receive the next scene.
