Section 404: One Day in the Crew

Postmodernism loneliness? What the hell is that?

The few people opposite Duane were stunned.

If others say this, they will probably be farting, but the person in front of them is different. In front of them, this person is the youngest best director who has won the Huabiao Award. His artistic level is unquestionable. He also proved his unparalleled control in commercial films through "Liberation Day". It can be said that he is a typical figure with a double harvest of art and business. If it weren't for being too young and too light, it would be an exaggeration to compare with Zhang Yi.

Such people couldn't help but think deeply about what they said, but after thinking for a long time, they couldn't understand why there was "postmodernism loneliness, fragmentation and freedom" in the black and gray. They couldn't even understand what this sentence meant, and in the end they had to attribute it to the difference between the masters of art and the mortals.

Otherwise, why would they have to be unknown if they won the Huabiao Award? This is the gap.

The female makeup artist followed Duan's words and said twice, "I'll change it right away!" After that, she walked the man in glasses to the dressing room next to her and re-studyed how to put on the makeup. The others present looked at Duan, and showed a look of "although I can't understand, but I feel so awesome."

Du An originally wanted the female makeup artist to communicate with her for a while, but she didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately followed her. She couldn't help but feel bored and couldn't, so she had to continue wandering around. She came to the lighting master to talk a few words, and then came to the props to pick up the problem of props.

"Your lamp is not good, I'll add another one here to see the effect... Let's pick up the lamp? Give me an upward angle, first thirty degrees... No, it's too concentrated, move to the left... Forget it, I'd better not want this lamp, take it away..."

"This barbed wire is too complete, right? I'll help me to pull it a little bit... Yes, cut it over there... Why did you pull it all down? Quickly install that one for me again!... Forget it, just pull it off on the right, the artistic conception will be higher, and there is a kind of bleak and lonely beauty..."

...

Duane is like a troublesome manufacturing machine, strolling everywhere to find faults, and he can find faults if there is no fault.

One of the duties of the deputy director is to help the director supervise and supervise the layout of clothing, lighting, props, etc. during the filming of the film, so that the subsequent shooting will be smooth. Therefore, what Duan is doing now is exactly in line with his identity as an assistant director, not to do anything randomly and find things to do. On the contrary, from the perspective of his position, his current behavior can be said to be very responsible, which is to make the staff on the set. What was already fine with the original content of director Feng Xiaogang, but when Duan comes to his mouth, he can always find some problems, which makes the workload suddenly increase.

However, these staff members did not complain, but were all very excited, especially those who were named by Duane, who were very full of spirits.

They are all people in this circle, and who doesn’t know about these things in the circle? Even if they stay in this mountain valley and have been filming, and many unpopular news are unknown, Duane’s news is all about major news, even the newspapers in Dandong have also reported it. Especially the destination of Duane’s trip is their crew. Many friends in the circle have called to greet him, so they also know that Duane is now live broadcasting and their current appearance will be seen by many people. This is an opportunity for many people in the crew who have always been unknown to show their faces in front of the audience.

Even if we put aside this, Duane is in front of them! If we can leave a good impression in front of him, then maybe Duane will call them when the show starts. Wouldn't they become rich by then? After all, the people in the circle who are following Duane are now leaps in their careers. Can they not know about them? So everyone's work attitude is very positive, and Duane strangely did not meet a veteran on the set.

Du An went wherever he went, and the noise was so loud, but he only saw Feng Xiaogang take a look on the way, and after he met him, he just smiled and withdrew his gaze to continue talking to the people around him. Obviously, he didn't plan to care about him, so he just let him go.

Perhaps in Feng Xiaogang's opinion, as long as he doesn't tear down the scene, it's okay?

Of course, this is also related to Du An only staring at trivial matters. If he dares to touch on some important things, such as how to shoot the next scene, I believe Feng Xiaogang will not give him a good look. He has also heard of the director's temper.

So Duan continued to wander around and looked for trivial matters everywhere to find fault. In places he couldn't see, the barrage in the live broadcast room was very lively.

"It's so boring to make movies, much boring than I thought. Why is it different from what I saw on TV? Why haven't I started shooting after a long time? I'm taking a leave today to watch what Duan said. Can anyone understand what Duan said? Translate what postmodern loneliness and other things? It's the first time I've seen a real set. It's so desolate. The scene is really different from what I saw on TV. It feels so rough. I went over to talk to Feng Xiaogang. Who wants to see these people I don't know? Director Feng is working? Didn't you see it? Everyone comes to work, and it's not Duan who comes to chat to help me!"...

Although it is daytime or weekdays, the number of people in Duane's live broadcast room is 330,000. Obviously, Duane and Feng Xiaogang's combined appeal is really great, especially the live broadcast of the real set scenes that many people have not seen with their own eyes, which is even more curious, resulting in so many viewers, second only to the number of people when the ranking was announced last time.

On the live broadcast room screen, Duan stopped at another place while walking.

I saw a man squatting in front of him, lowering his head, stretching his hands in front of him and watching without moving, and I didn't know what his own hands looked good.

This man was wearing casual clothes, obviously not an actor, but he didn't go to work, and he was just squatting, which made Duane not know what he was doing.

Perhaps the movement of a group of people coming disturbed the man. His eyes finally moved away from his hand, raised his head and looked at Du An, then stood up suddenly and said hello, "Hello Director Du!" He was laughing at him.

Duane smiled at him, too, "Hello." Then he looked at him.

He seems to have seen this man somewhere. If he remembers correctly, he should be an actor, but he doesn't know where he has seen his name. However, generally, the actors who cannot remember the name are not very famous.

He seemed to be able to see that Du An didn't know him, so he first introduced: "My name is Deng Chao, and he is an actor in this drama." As he said that, he pointed at Feng Xiaogang who was surrounded by the crowd.

Du An suddenly realized: If he remembered correctly, this man should be the second male lead in "Assembly" and his weight is quite large. Moreover, this person has acted in many TV series before, no wonder he has an impression of him, but entering the film industry... It should be the first time for Deng Chao? Anyway, Du An has never heard of this person's name in any movie.

I worked with Feng Xiaogang for the first time I was electrocuted, and this opportunity is really good.

Du An recalled the script he had just read and asked, "It seems that there is no play for you today, why are you here?"

Deng Chao smirked, as if he was a little embarrassed, but he still said, "Isn't this the first time I'm shooting a movie? When I'm fine, I'll come back and see how others act, so as to avoid mistakes. Anyway, the team has entered, and the people are here, but there is no other place to play when I come."

Duane nodded, not commenting.

It seems that Deng Chao is quite excited about the first electric shock. Perhaps this is the only time he has such passion. After more experience, he will not be like this.

Duane asked again: "I just saw you have been looking at your hands. What's wrong with your hands?"

Speaking of this, Deng Chao was a little distressed.

"I will have a scene in two days, but I have seen it. There is a close-up of my hand, but my hand doesn't look like a soldier in that era. I'm worried about what to do."

Duane listened to his words and glanced at his hand that was hanging beside him.

Indeed, this hand is thin and tender, and it doesn’t look like the thick hand of a soldier in that era?

Du An said, "This problem is easy to solve. At that time, let the makeup artist help you do the makeup. Even if I don't know how many scenes you will get to your hands, so you will have to do one or another..."

Du An saw Deng Chao shook his head slightly, obviously he did not agree with this method, or he had thought about it himself.

Yes, I filmed one scene and made one for my hands. This might be fine if it was an actor of Duane, but Deng Chao's words... the makeup artist will inevitably have an objection to him.

So Duane proposed a second solution, "...there is another way, that is, you rub your hands with the sand and soil until you are satisfied."

Deng Chao is indeed a young man. He doesn't know how to solve this problem. He even squatted here for a long time. If Du An came, he immediately came up with a solution.

Deng Chao was stunned when he heard this.

Rub your hands with sand and soil... Is this self-harm?

Duane saw him hesitantly and asked, "Then... don't rub it, can you grab some sand and soil on your hands?"

Duane shook his head, "This is OK in the battle scene. It's dirty and cover up the thick ones, but it's not good in literary dramas. After all, you have dirty hands rather than thick hands. For example, if you are taking close-ups of your hands while eating in the camp, can you eat with mud on your hands? Are you eating or eating mud? If you want thick hands, there is only this way except for special makeup."

It may be that Deng Chao has not experienced such a situation, so he is a little scared when facing this kind of self-harm. However, for people like Duan who have experienced many scenes in many movies, this kind of behavior is really not called self-harm. For the sake of the effect of filming, he has seen many more serious cases than this, and many people risk their lives.

So, it’s not easy to be an actor sometimes.

Deng Chao thought for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, I understand!" Then he smiled at Du An and said, "Thank you, Director Du."

Duane also smiled at him, "It's okay, I was the deputy director of your play now, and my duty is to help you make this movie."

"Okay, you can observe it yourself, I'll leave first."

After Du An finished speaking, he walked away. As he walked, he looked towards Feng Xiaogang, but sighed for no reason.

What he should do most is to talk about operas to the actors and arrange overall shooting work. Now he can only focus on some small problems such as "It should be clean here and rub your hands with sand and soil." Just like a messenger, he can't even touch the key shooting program, which is really uncomfortable.

This is like a man who is addicted to smoking. You only smell the smoke and ask him to touch the cigarette but don’t smoke it, and you don’t allow him to walk away. Not to mention how uncomfortable it is, you feel unbearable!

In this regard, the action chosen by the audience for him is really fucking. He really doesn't want to do this, but he has to do it. Who made him a Truman now?

Have to bear it...

Fortunately, there was only one day. After Feng Xiaogang's crew ended, Du An invited the main crew members to have a big meal, and the first task was completed.

Until Duan's team left by plane, Feng Xiaogang did not say as many viewers expected, "the two of them only discussed the filming of the film, and their thoughts collided with fierce sparks." He talked and laughed when he was with Duan, and did not say anything serious.

This was within Duane's expectations.

How did you ask Feng Xiaogang to talk to him about the filming of the filming? Even if he really wants to communicate with himself, Du An’s current life is broadcast live. Their communication is immediately watched by everyone. What would those people think?

After all, it would be fine if it was another film, but "Assembly" is a main theme movie. When it comes to main theme movies, "Liberation Day" in October is a hurdle that cannot be avoided. Duane can now be said to be a character who inherits the past and opens the future in the main theme, and the achievements made by all are obvious. When Feng Xiaogang's active communication, those who see him unconsciously think that he is seeking the scriptures. After all, Duane has perfectly proved himself in the main theme, and Feng Xiaogang has not yet achieved results.

Moreover, if Feng Xiaogang really communicates with Du An, it would be fine if the "Assembly" scores are not good in the future. If the results are good, will others say that it is because he obtained the true scriptures from Du An?

So, in Duane's opinion, Feng Xiaogang's approach is the wisest thing to do. I welcome you to play, but you are just here to play, don't talk about anything else. I can make this movie alone.
Chapter completed!
