39, Chapter 39(2/4)
After the negotiation, the shooting time was agreed upon, and a few people opened a bottle of wine. Finally, when Pei Liang and the others left, it was considered a great time for the guests and the host.
But when Zhang Li sent people away, he turned around and saw that Xie Chen, who had just been drinking without eating peanuts, was starting to dream again.
When Pei Liang was here just now, this guy was still maintaining his posture.
At this moment, he couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth. He asked Zhang Li: "You said she remembered my reaction to kissing so clearly."
"Have you been reading it frequently these past two days to reflect on it?"
At this moment, Zhang Li was as embarrassed as an old father who was about to help his daughter take a physiology class. He said impatiently: "What are you doing? What skills and abilities do you have now that women will never forget?"
Xie Chen glared at him displeasedly: "Experience can be accumulated, but conditions are innate."
She even held the mirror as she spoke: "My lips have a sexy shape and a first-class touch. I don't believe she can't tell the difference."
After she finished, she said with some yin and yang, "It must be better than her boyfriend."
The tension collapsed silently.
It’s time to finish, this guy is no longer a simple and easy-to-understand fool, he’s becoming more and more scheming like a Green Tea Dior.
With the addition of Best Actor Xie, the entire crew naturally became more confident.
Given the other party's box office appeal, even a special appearance can bring mainstream attention to the movie, instead of just relying on director Liu and Feng to complain about the bad movie.
And as practitioners, they naturally didn't want to thank the actor for his first bad movie in his life, which was made by them, so he became even more energetic.
Once everything was ready, on the day of filming, Pei Liang and the others took their equipment and props to Xie Chen's presidential suite.
They planned to focus on filming Xie Chen's scenes first so as not to delay his return to China.
Xie Chen's first scene was when he woke up in his underwear next to Gu Fei, played by Pei Liang.
Zhang Li asked for changes as soon as he read the script. To put it bluntly, you are a small piece of crew and you are not worthy of the actor's dedication.
Xie Chen has never been naked on screen so far. It’s not that he lacks professionalism, it just happened that his previous roles didn’t require it.
Therefore, this piece of land is naturally extremely precious. Where can you, a small-time crew who only appeared as a guest star for a few minutes, pick the first piece of melon?
It was so advantageous that Zhang Li even suspected that this was a temporary change made by Director Pei Liang, Liu and the others after confirming Xie Chen's participation, just to use Xie Chen's gimmick to save their bad movie.
So I firmly disagree.
Pei Liang didn't want to let it go, she said: "What I want is the tension that I feel when I wake up in the morning after experiencing crazy chaos after a night of hangover."
"There is absolutely no compromise in this scene. There cannot be any trace of reason left. Manager Zhang, you are also a person with a sophisticated eye for film selection. Don't you know that this is how many bad movies are made nowadays?"
Why don't you know? Nowadays, there are many young people who rely on their image and have strict requirements. No matter what plot logic or camera language you have, they must be photographed handsome and beautiful anyway.
The traffic brings high premiums in film remuneration, but the film producers do not get the professionalism equivalent to the value. Why doesn't the entire domestic film industry become more and more sluggish?
Zhang Li also understood this, but to put it bluntly, he felt that it was a blessing for the Xiao Po crew to have Xie Chen show up, and it was not worthy for Xie Chen to devote his professionalism here.
And this is just wiping the scandal, it's not called work at all in his opinion.
Zhang Li and Pei Liang argued hard, but the other party refused to give in. They even gave up the gimmick brought by Xie Chen and threatened to find someone else if they refused to shoot them. It must be done this way anyway.
"This shot is the entry point of the entire movie and the catalog of the climax. It must not be perfunctory."
Zhang Li wanted to say something else, but Xie Chen said: "No need to say anything, I'll take the photo."
"You!" Zhang Li turned around suddenly, looking at Xie Chen's face with rare severity and anger: "Do you know what you are doing?"
"This is not just a matter of renting a venue. If this movie fails, and you thank Chen for showing your naked body on screen in such a bad movie, have you ever thought about your flawless reputation so far?"
"This is completely different from an ordinary guest appearance."
"It won't be a bad movie." Xie Chen stood up and shook the script in his hand.
"The cameo scene really aroused my curiosity about the upcoming plot, so I asked Editor Feng to send me the entire script. It is a high-quality comedy."
"There are no problems with the plot structure, rhythm, and laughter. If we shoot strictly according to the script, Director Liu's camera control will never be bad."
"The next thing I'm worried about is the deletion of plots that may be caused by later funding issues, cheap props, and the rush to save time."
"I asked Ms. Pei to show me the budget structure of the crew. It is very sufficient. She has even prepared funds to deal with possible accidents. Unless there is a force majeure accident, the above problems will basically not happen."
"The last thing is the actor's acting skills. This kind of comedy without deep core connotation, to be honest, does not require overly rich acting skills, it just needs to be smooth and natural."
"I believe Miss Pei has already considered this." Xie Chen asked Director Liu.
It is said that the actors who played the main roles in the crew were all actors who had rich acting experience, but due to various reasons, they had no roles to film and were charged cheap prices.
Although not everyone is here yet, Director Liu said that one of the female leads is Xia Yu. Xia Yu had been on the same crew as him a few years ago. Xie Chen naturally knows her skills, which are more than enough here.
This shows that Pei Liang has considered everything.
Now even Xie Chen, who had a negative attitude at first, had to seriously say something to Pei Liang——
"You are very professional as a producer."
Although most of the details are controlled by Director Liu, a veteran in the industry, this also shows that she knows people well and makes good use of them, and she is very good at coordinating the overall situation.
Pei Liang smiled: "Thank you!"
She is becoming more and more fond of elementary school chickens.
Xie Chen had made up his mind. Since it was a serious movie, he showed a serious and professional attitude. Without saying anything, he went to the bathroom and changed into black underwear.
Pei Liang couldn't help but whistle as soon as he saw it.
Not only does this guy have a monster-looking face, he also has a first-rate figure.
It can be seen that he has a fitness habit, and his natural body lines and muscle shape are particularly rare. Coupled with the hard work he has acquired, it is no wonder that he walked in the opening show for a blue-blood brand at Fashion Week last year. His aura and figure are stunning in the fashion circle, and he is with a group of celebrities.
She is not inferior to many European and American male models.
Xie Chen is that rarest type who has first-class skin and bones, and also conforms to Eurasian aesthetics, both in appearance and figure.
Pei Liang did not hide the stunning admiration in his eyes, which made Xie Chen feel proud even more than he was shy.
Zhang Li couldn't even see. This bastard had just spoken so grandly, and now he was changing his clothes before filming even started. Who didn't know that he couldn't wait to show off his charm?
Damn green tea Dior.
Just as Pei Liang's eyes were about to fall on Xie Chen's long legs, a group of crew members from behind also arrived.
Pei Liang looked across Xie Chen and saw the person behind him, with a smile on his face and shouted: "Baby, are you here?"
Xie Chen's body stiffened, and the narcissistic pride on his face disappeared in an instant. He glanced hatefully at Pei Liang, who looked away without hesitation.
He turned around and looked at the person with provocative eyes.
Then I saw a girl with a round face and a slightly chubby face. She was not pretty but very recognizable and looked very familiar.
As soon as the other party saw his scene, his eyes lit up and he smiled excitedly: "Mr. Liang, you told me this was a good thing. Even if I squeeze, I have to squeeze into the car in front of you."
Director Liu was so busy: "Baby, is it here? Go put on makeup and do some styling. You are the only one missing."
So she is the treasure? Xie Chen's fighting spirit suddenly disappeared, followed by overwhelming shame and embarrassment.
He clenched his fists and resisted the urge to run away. He casually took a bathrobe and put it on his face temporarily. This nonchalant attitude made others feel embarrassed.
Tsk, it’s a small scene. Xie Chen said in his heart.
But he also remembered who the other party was, Lu Baobao, an actor in a well-known sitcom when he was a child. Xie Chen used to follow the other party's drama every day when he was a child, but when he grew up, he didn't get much attention.
The most well-known thing about Lu Baobao is her name in the drama. Almost everyone knows her name, but her real name is unknown.
So much so that Xie Chen never thought of this. When Director Liu told him about the three main actresses before, in order to deepen his understanding, he directly mentioned the names of their representative works.
After realizing that Pei Liang had no so-called 'baby' at all, Xie Chen couldn't hide the joy on his face.
When the filming officially started, he easily assumed the role of sexy, lazy, and happily newlywed.
As for Pei Liang, Director Liu originally thought that it would take a while for Pei Liang to get used to the camera, so he was prepared for a lot of hard work today.
But I didn't expect that the first scene passed in one go. It was incredibly smooth and smooth. Even the borrowed tiger was very well-behaved and didn't lose any temper during the whole process.
And even if it is a comedy, the requirements for acting skills are not so high, but Pei Liang is already very smart compared to ordinary actors.
For example, she was the first to go to the bathroom and found a tiger in the bathroom. She had to express the entire emotional gradient from sleepy eyes to the tiger's body shaking, wanting to scream, but not daring to scream because the character's rational response was quick.
This shot is not easy for a newcomer Pei Liang. Not to mention Pei Liang, a complete newcomer, there are many actresses who already have acting experience. Just the look of horror would be embarrassing.
Therefore, comedies are actually not very friendly to actresses, especially beautiful actresses. In many cases, it is not even the actresses who cannot let go of their posture, but in the exaggerated dramatic performance, many people cannot perform the kind of hilarious effect that makes people laugh.
.
Director Liu thought that Pei Liang was like this too. His original intention was to use this lens to see what Pei Liang's upper limit was, so that he could arrange the subsequent performance allocations and think about how to present her in the several performance scenes that were particularly needed.
produce the desired effect.
As for this scene, Director Liu was even prepared that if Pei Liang didn't perform well, Lu Baobao would be the one to play the scene where he opens the bathroom door and sees the tiger for the first time.
Lu Baobao has been acting in comedies since she was a child, and her face also has a comedic effect. Her acting skills are not bad, so there is no problem in this scene.
But Pei Liang gave him a pleasant surprise. The other party's frightened expression was not an exaggerated way of glaring and baring his teeth.
Instead, his eyes suddenly widened as if a glass of ice water had been poured on him. His eyes did not stare blankly at the camera, but his pupils shrank and his nose twitched slightly as he sucked in a breath of cold air.
Then, when he wanted to scream and take action, he clenched his mouth tightly, and the breath that was not released came out gently from the nose that he did not dare to breathe out.
He stared at the tiger with big eyes and small eyes for a few seconds, then trembled and tried to close the door gently.
