Chapter 947-948 Modification(1/2)
Chapter 947
Today's filming officially started, continuing yesterday's plot.
"Go away quickly, I don't need you anymore."
After a while, the IT man walked back to the door fearfully and looked out through the peephole.
Xiaoman was not outside, and the rain was still falling.
The IT man hesitated for a long time, then reached out and pulled open the door latch.
After hesitating for a long time, the IT man turned around, took the umbrella, and walked into the rain.
He walked to the bus stop, waited for a bus, and then got on the bus.
The bus drove forward for half a stop and then stopped.
Something was obviously wrong at the intersection ahead.
The cars were jammed.
The assailant got out of the car and ran to the intersection ahead to see what happened.
After coming back, they told everyone that the bus they were taking was on the same route. When they were crossing the intersection in front, a cement tanker's brakes failed and it hit the bus sideways, crushing it in the middle.
None of the passengers on the bus survived.
Everyone in the bus couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, they left the house a few minutes late, otherwise they would have taken the bus in front of them. By now, they would have probably gone to Huangquan Road with the passengers in the bus in front of them.
The IT man's whole body started to tremble.
He suddenly understood why Xiao Man ran to the door and blocked him, scaring him so much that he didn't dare to go out.
She did this on purpose to prevent him from taking the bus in front!
Xiao Man loved him so much that until her death, she still cared about his safety and made sure that he did not take the bus in front of her before leaving.
Even if she turns into a ghost, she doesn't have any ill intentions towards him.
Up to this point in the script, there are not many lines in total. It mainly relies on the lines of some passers-by to fill up the 2,000 words.
The director only shot for half an hour before finishing today's script.
After a little post-production, I sent the rough footage to the producer.
…
"If the producer is not satisfied, you will bear the loss." The director said a few words to Li Teng.
"Why?" Li Teng couldn't help but protested after all.
"The producer paid for the play, and you wrote the play. And the contract you signed when you applied for my directing team said that if the producer is not satisfied with the film, you will pay all the expenses." The director signed the paper in black and white.
The contract was given to Li Teng.
"Holy crap! I want to sign this kind of contract? How stupid am I?" Li Teng looked at his signature and was speechless.
These are obviously plots before he entered the script world, pits dug for him to jump into.
In this case, there's nothing much to say, it just depends on what the producer wants.
…
Later in the afternoon, the producer called.
He said that the pornographic film has been shown to the distribution agency, and they were very satisfied with the plot, mainly the twist at the end, and there was warmth in the horror.
But I am not very satisfied with the actors.
The publishing agency believes that IT men do not have to be fat and should find a handsome guy with high traffic.
Otherwise, the heroine Xiaoman's deep affection for the IT man would not make sense.
How could such a beautiful, gentle and virtuous girl fall in love with such a wretched fat man who regards her as a nanny? This is illogical! It needs to be changed to be more reasonable.
For this reason, the producer also added an additional investment of 0.001 yuan.
It's probably equivalent to hundreds of thousands of dollars in the previous life.
"0.001 is cool, so you want to hire a handsome guy with traffic? Which of the handsome guys with traffic today is not at least 1 cool to start with? Is there any mistake?" the director complained.
"You don't have to do it if you think it's too little. I'll hire someone else." The female producer happened to rush over and heard the director's complaints.
"Aha... Sister Liu is here? I'm just saying casually, but 0.001 cool guys who want to find traffic are really too few. It's a bit difficult. If you find some handsome new guys who don't have traffic yet, the risk is relatively high.
Although our original male protagonist is a fat man, he is still an experienced actor..." the director quickly defended.
"Who is he?" Producer Sister Liu looked at Li Teng.
"Screenwriter, this was originally written by him, and he was hired by the team a few days ago." The director answered Sister Liu.
"He's quite handsome... How about letting him play the male lead? He should be very good at acting in the drama he wrote." The female producer suggested to the director.
"He is a screenwriter, and every line is like a mountain. Acting requires basics. A look, an action, whether it is professional, and whether it can jump into a scene, the audience can tell at a glance. It does not mean that anyone who is handsome can act well.
..." The director looked helpless.
"Handsome guy, what's your name?" Producer Sister Liu ignored the director and asked directly to Li Teng, who was sitting in the corner.
"The surname is Li, the given name is Teng, Teng means soaring." Li Teng introduced himself.
"Mr. Li, I think you have a good image. Are you interested in acting?" Sister Liu asked Li Teng.
"You can give it a try." Of course Li Teng would not refuse.
"It's just... nonsense! Can someone who has never acted before be randomly recruited to act?" The director rolled his eyes, feeling that the producer's direct intervention in the actor's affairs was a great disrespect for him.
Of course, the producer will not mess around. Before deciding to let Li Teng play the male lead, of course, he must test Li Teng's acting skills to see if he has any talent in this area.
So the producer intercepted a clip from the front of the script and asked Li Teng and the heroine to audition it for her.
Of course, other people on the set, including the director, set management, etc., were also called by the producer to serve as temporary mentors, rating Li Teng's acting skills and providing various guidance.
It is a scene where the male and female protagonists go shopping together to buy clothes and bargain with the salesperson.
Li Teng has to portray the dull feeling of the male protagonist who is not good at dealing with others.
…
What has Li Teng been doing these past few hundred years?
They are all acting!
What roles have you never played? What scenes have you never seen? If you can be called a seasoned actor after acting for decades, what should an actor like him who has been acting for hundreds of years be called?
Isn't a little IT guy just at your fingertips?
…
After a segment was performed, the instructors on the scene could not stand it for a long time without commenting on anything nutritious.
Li Teng's performance was impeccable, and they didn't realize it was a performance at all, just like everyday life.
The highest level of acting is to make it difficult for people to tell that you are acting.
Many actors will never reach this level in their lifetime of acting, not even one-tenth of it.
Just like some popular female stars who can earn a lot of money casually, if they play a playful image, they can only wink their eyes and twist their mouths, making people extremely embarrassed.
…
"Great! It's him! You guys have nothing to say, right?" Producer Sister Liu was very happy to have discovered such a potential talent like Li Teng, which shows that she has a unique vision!
Although the director resisted Sister Liu's approach at first, he had nothing to say after watching Li Teng's performance.
I don’t know what will happen with other scenes, but at least in this clip, Li Teng’s performance is up to standard and better than those of popular celebrities.
Chapter 948
"Having him play the male lead solves the illogical problem of the male lead not being handsome and the female lead loving him deeply. But I think the previous script still needs to be changed, and there should be more emphasis on their relationship.
Some pen and ink make the final affectionate reversal less abrupt for the audience."
Producer Sister Liu stayed on the set and discussed with the director.
"Go to him about changing the script. He wrote the script." The director pointed at Li Teng.
"Do you mind changing the script?" Producer Sister Liu came over to Li Teng.
"No problem. The script was a bit rushed at the beginning. There are indeed some unreasonable things. It would be better to change it if it was not rushed." Li Teng did not raise any objection to this.
"Okay, I think we should add some emotional drama between the male and female protagonists, otherwise it will feel a bit abrupt. I even think it is necessary to add some literary drama." Producer Sister Liu took the script and analyzed it.
"What about this? It's okay to play other roles. I'm not married yet, and I haven't found a girlfriend yet. I really don't have any experience in this area! I'm just afraid that I won't be good at acting." Li Teng said coyly.
"It looks like you are already twenty-five or six, right? Are you still so naive?" Producer Sister Liu was a little surprised.
"How can it be so easy to find a girlfriend now? I have to buy a house and a car. I don't dare to delay other people's happiness without first earning a few 0.00. I am a responsible man. If I am not ready, I would rather continue alone.
"Li Teng shook his head seriously.
"Haha, don't you see that you are really that innocent? Don't worry, if you are afraid that your acting will not be good, I can teach you step by step. When you feel that you can act well, we will officially start filming."
Sister Liu comforted Li Teng.
