Chapter 273 Joining the Crew
Most directors, due to budget issues, will try to shoot as many scenes as possible!
However, a scene may have a very long span, so the actors need to accurately grasp the different changes in the characters at different stages.
Although this can save costs, there is also a problem. That is, the actors may not know the progress of the play at all, and it is difficult for them to grasp their position in the play.
Some actors don't even know whether they played a positive or negative role after filming a movie.
This requires a high level of director skills!
But this time Su Chen is different. The investment in this drama was originally low, and the actors are all internal actors of the company. The pay is also lower than that of the outside world, and the biggest star is himself.
But I don’t get paid for the film, which makes the cost lower.
So they don’t have to worry about saving costs. The most important thing for Su Chen is to let the actors immerse themselves better in the filming atmosphere and finish the filming as soon as possible!
Moreover, you can shoot according to the order of the movie in your mind, and edit it as you shoot. By the time you finish shooting, the movie will be edited as well!
That night, Su Chen worked very late again.
Tomorrow will be his first time as a director. Although he already has god-level directing skills, Su Chen is still very excited and a little nervous!
After all, it is an unprecedented experience.
And the scene in the hotel tomorrow is very important, which sets the comedic tone for the whole movie!
If an actor can't get into the mood, it would be a fatal thing.
Comedy seems simple, but it is the most difficult thing.
……
The next day, Su Chen and Jiang Muqing came to the company!
At this moment, the company's crew has been formed.
But at this moment, everyone felt a little uneasy.
Everyone knows that the screenwriter, director and leading actor of "Charlotte's Troubles" are all Su Chen!
Although everyone is already very familiar with Su Chen, he is a talented singer-songwriter and the Jiang family's son-in-law.
But how can a young man of twenty-two or twenty-three years old have the ability to make a movie?
Even if he is a talented student from the directing department of a film academy, this young man can only make a short film at best!
The knowledge required to make a movie is not something that a music student can easily master!
This requires the accumulation of knowledge in many disciplines, including composition, aesthetics, rhythm, psychology, logic...!
"In my opinion, Su Chen is probably just a figurehead. I heard there are two assistant directors, so it is probably the assistant directors who are mainly responsible for filming!"
"I think so too. What does he know as a singer? Isn't he just here to gild himself?"
"To be honest, I hate people who pretend to know everything. They shout a few words on the set, then leave the rest of the work to the assistant director, and then take the director's name for themselves!"
"That's right, but we can't do anything about it. After all, Su Chen is the boss's son-in-law. He's trying to force us to do something, and there's nothing we can do about it!"
……
The lighting, photography and other staff of the crew gathered together and talked in a low voice.
Although they are behind-the-scenes staff, they are also excellent behind-the-scenes talents in Fanxing Entertainment. In order to support Su Chen's work, Jiang Jiye has put in all his efforts!
But Jiang Jiye hadn't thought about one question, that is, can Su Chen really suppress these old hands on the set?
These guys are capable, but they are also arrogant!
Su Chen hasn't arrived yet, but one by one they have already put him into the gilded ranks.
But...under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with their speculation.
What a pity, the person they met this time was Su Chen!
At this time, Jiang Muqing and Su Chen came over.
"Hello everyone, I'm Su Chen, the director of "Charlotte's Troubles". My name is Su Chen!"
Su Chen said in a deep voice: "Maybe everyone has heard that in the next month, I will shoot this movie with you all, and we will also strive to release it during the National Day holiday!"
Hearing this, almost everyone gasped.
A new director wants to shoot a movie within a month and then release it during the National Day holiday?
Do you really think that anyone can enter the National Day holiday?
Young people nowadays really don’t know their place!
It seems that President Jiang has lost all his face in order to promote Su Chen!
Su Chen naturally noticed the strange looks from everyone.
But Su Chen didn't care. No matter how much he explained now, it would be useless. He would have to wait and see.
However, before starting, Su Chen still hopes that everyone can cooperate with him. Otherwise, if his subordinates are not convinced, it will be a headache.
"Everyone knows that the outside world is waiting to laugh at me, so I am under a lot of pressure!"
Su Chen said in a deep voice: "To shoot a movie within a month and hit the National Day holiday, this was absolutely impossible before, but I am confident that I can accomplish this miracle! Do you have the confidence?"
"Have!"
The voices were sparse, and there were not many people supporting it, and most people thought it was impossible.
"Okay, since everyone is confident, I will announce a few rules for filming!"
Su Chen said in a deep voice: "On the set, no one needs to question my decision, what I say is what it is!"
"It's not because I'm a tyrant on the set, it's because our time is too short and I don't have time to take care of everyone's feelings!"
"But don't worry, we are shooting a comedy, and I hope the atmosphere on the set will be more cheerful. But there is one thing I want to make clear. Everyone must do their best to complete the tasks I have assigned them. Otherwise, I will definitely not be polite. Do you understand?"
Having said that, Su Chen's face became very serious.
Many people put away their cynical attitude, but there are still a small number of people who secretly laugh at it.
Just a monkey in human clothing!
"We will hold a launch ceremony this morning. After the launch ceremony, we will immediately start shooting the first scene!"
"Time is tight and the task is heavy. Everyone, please try to overcome it! Lead actors, please come over here!"
Soon, the leading actor came in front of Su Chen.
"I gave you the script yesterday. What do you think of your roles? Can you understand the status of the characters in the play?"
Su Chen asked.
The leading actors all nodded, and excitement appeared on their faces!
They are not famous, they are just third or fourth tier actors in Fanxing Entertainment. Although they have also participated in some TV series or movies, most of them are supporting roles!
This is their first time starring in a film!
Although others expressed doubts about Su Chen's directing ability, the leading actors were still full of expectations!
Especially after reading the script, they were already attracted by the hilarious story in the script.
If it could be filmed, it would be amazing!
