Chapter 69: Pink Turns Black
Most of the plots in "Love Apartment" take place in shared apartments or in bars downstairs of the apartment. There are basically no big scenes, and from beginning to end, they are all characters' dialogues, making it easy to shoot.
Only in the first episode, several leading actors were introduced, and there were also a large traffic jam in the ninth episode. There were many characters and the scenes were relatively large. Especially in the ninth episode, there was even a whole viaduct to be included for filming.
Large scenes can be postponed, and in the early stage, you can choose simple ones to shoot first, and run in the crew. Li Xiaohu can also take the opportunity to exercise his ability to control the scene.
All the seven starring actors are newcomers, Li Xiaoshan, Hu Feifei, and Zhang Xiaoming also filmed a "Nightclub". There are some acting experiences, but the others are completely blank. At most, they have acted in a few dramas, and their acting skills are very immature, so the shooting progress cannot be fast. In a day, only a total of more than ten minutes of footage were completed, and even half an episode was less than half an episode.
Li Xiaohu originally thought that he had watched the original TV series and would not take detours during the filming process, so that every shot would not be in vain. Can the progress be faster?
Now his idea is completely shattered. No matter how powerful the director is, he still needs the actors to perform and start a group of newcomers, which is destined to have such consequences.
He kept ng all day long, Li Xiaohu's temper soared, and almost all the people in the crew were criticized by him.
"I was wrong. The director is so fierce, and he has no accent at all." After Xiao Tiantian was scolded again, she finally turned into a black fan, changed her position, and began to complain about her idol, "Is it true that a little beauty like this cute is scolded? Is it true? The director is so rude. Humph, isn't it just a laugh? That guy's performance just now is indeed very funny..."
Fortunately, Xiao Tiantian has a good psychological tolerance, so she won’t be tearful after being criticized by the director… This is also the girl’s favorite side. Although she complains a lot, she still works hard when performing, and does not get angry or simply stop acting.
"Ahem, I have a little temper today. I'm sorry to everyone. Today, the crew opened on the first day. I paid out of my own pocket and invited everyone out for a good meal. It was an apology and celebration. Everyone should appreciate their faces." When the work was over, Li Xiaohu saw that everyone was a little dejected, and felt that it was necessary to cheer up everyone's morale.
"The director is so polite, why are you so embarrassed?" When everyone heard that the director was going to treat him, he was scolded for a day and immediately became energetic. He said embarrassedly, but his hands were packing up faster.
"I really have no sincerity. Either apologize or celebrate. Which planet is the custom of this apology and celebration mixed together to treat guests?" Xiao Tiantian murmured in a low voice.
"Well, my ears are very good. Some people should have a lower voice when they speak," Li Xiaohu muttered in a low voice as he walked past Xiao Tiantian, which scared the little beauty to hide in Hu Feifei's arms.
Hu Feifei gave Li Xiaohu a blank look and asked the junior sister in her arms with a smile, "Hahoo, the idol is shattered? I've told you a long time ago that when the director scolded people, it was terrible. Do you believe it now?"
"I believe it, and the director is not only very fierce when he scolds people, but also very sinister when he doesn't scold people," Xiao Tiantian looked at Li Xiaohu's departure and said with lingering fear: "It's really sinister to eavesdrop on me."
Hu Feifei patted her forehead helplessly and decided not to be as familiar with her junior sister. She thought about it and shouted at Li Xiaohu, "Director, can we wear our costumes? This dress is so beautiful, where did you buy it? I also want to buy a set of clothes."
When the actors heard this, all the starring actors raised their ears. The popular costumes that were ahead of ten years were self-evident for young people. Moreover, all the clothes were tailor-made according to the characteristics of each actor, which not only fits, but also suits their temperament, making them fall in love with them at a glance. Although the work has been finished, everyone is still reluctant to take them off.
"These clothes are not available on the market. If you like them, when the scene is finished, everyone will give you a set, but don't wear them for the time being. The costumes are not redundant, and it's hard to clean up if they are dirty," Li Xiaohu thought for a while and added: "Before the TV series starts broadcast, everyone should pay attention to confidentiality and not reveal their own clothes styles. Everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement, and you may not pay attention to them. Now I will reiterate them to everyone and pay attention to confidentiality."
Since we are going to lead the fashion trend, before the TV series starts, the trendy clothes on the starring actors cannot be popular on the market first. Otherwise, these clothes will become big-name products by then, and the audience will not be particularly amazed by the starring actors' costumes and dressings, which is very unfavorable for the TV series to expand its influence.
"Oh," Hu Feifei was a little disappointed, but she still walked into the changing room honestly.
...
After drinking and having enough food, Li Xiaohu, the deputy director and crew members briefly discussed the shooting plan for tomorrow and went home with his elder brother.
The crew actually rented several apartments, but not many people moved in. Most of the actors are students from China Overseas Film Academy. Their dormitory is only a few minutes away from the apartment, so it is naturally more convenient to go back to the dormitory at night. The other staff are basically locals, so there is no need to live outside deliberately. Only some scenes that are filmed at night will these rented apartments come in handy.
Zhang Xiaoming lived in an apartment. When the filming of this drama was finished, he was afraid that the college entrance examination would have passed long ago, so he asked the school for a long vacation and had no intention of going back to school to attend classes. He moved out all the textbooks and took time to review his homework in the evening, and then went directly to take the college entrance examination.
"Brother, how are your album ready?" After getting into the taxi, Li Xiaohu cared about his elder brother's affairs. He has been preparing to film "Love Apartment" recently. The elder brother never falls out of the house all day and is busy working on his new album. The two brothers don't communicate much.
"The recording has been completed, and the record company has not planned to invest money to make a promotional plan for me, so the album will be released in the last few days," Li Xiaoshan smiled and said, "If there is any trouble in the crew, you can leave it to me. Anyway, I will be very idle except filming for the next period of time."
"If the record company doesn't invest money to promote you, you won't pay out of your own pocket?" Li Xiaohu smiled and said, "If the album is sold well, it will not only benefit from the record company."
Li Xiaohu didn't deduct a penny from the box office share of "Nightclub". He divided it with his elder brother according to June 4th, so Li Xiaoshan is now a local rich man with a net worth of millions.
"Forget it, I have to film anyway, so how can I have time to promote it? As long as the album is good enough, no one will like it if it doesn't need to promote it," Li Xiaoshan shook his head and smiled: "I am still looking forward to whether "Love Apartment" will be popular now. Oh, by the way, how is the serialization effect of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? I've been too busy recently and don't have time to buy the new issue of "Shenzhou Wuhun" magazine to watch."
