"Why are you here?"
Zhang Qian looked at his nephew and asked casually.
“……”
Zhang Wei almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was stunned.
Didn't you call me here?
Forgotten so quickly?
He looked at Ceng Qi, who was also quite confused.
The director was so forgetful that he couldn't use it to film!
Zhang Qian also reacted at this time,""Oh, I forgot. I'm sorry!”
He clapped his hands at his nephew and laughed."Actually…it's none of your business. This kid told me everything!”
Zhang Qian pointed at Zhuang Fan.
Zhang Wei was speechless.
Did I come here for nothing?
"So, you can go back!"
Indeed, Zhang Qian had nothing to do with Zhang Wei. He just wanted to understand Zhuang Fan, but... he was done.
"Director Zhang, Director Zeng!"
Zhuang Fan greeted Zhang Wei and Ceng Qi. Ceng Qi didn't dare to act like a stage manager anymore and quickly waved at them.
Zhang Wei emphasized to Zhuang Fan,""Don't be so rude. Director Zhang is here, so why are you calling me Director Zhang or Assistant Zhang?”
"Alright, Director Little Zhang!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Qian laughed. Seeing Zhang Wei glare at Zhuang Fan, he quickly said,""Alright, he's right. Director Little Zhang, what role should we arrange for him?”
"Just now, he did me a great favor!”
Zhang Qian teased Zhang Wei, who was flustered."Director Zhang, don't make things difficult for me. How can I make any decisions?”
"You really can't do it?"
"I can't do it!"
Zhang Wei shook his head like a rattle-drum.
What a joke. How could he not know that his uncle was trying to teach him a lesson?
Director Zhang and Assistant Zhang. Although it was just a difference in terms of address, those who didn't know would definitely think that Zhang Wei was at least an assistant director and had some relationship with Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian was willing to take care of his nephew, but it did not mean that he wanted people to talk about him behind his back.
That was why he said those words.
"How about this, noon!"
Zhang Qian thought for a moment and then said," Xiao Zhuang, come to my room. Room 303, Bayi Hotel. 2 o'clock. That's the time!"”
"Come over, I'll test you!”
"Alright, thank you, Director Zhang!"
"Thank you!"
Zhuang Fan was very sincere. He was indeed giving her a chance.
Then, he thanked Zhang Wei and Ceng Qi,""Thank you, Assistant Zhang. Thank you, Director Zeng!”
"Why are you thanking me? I didn't help much…"
Ceng Qi's face turned red, while Zhang Wei was deep in thought.
Zhang Qian squinted at Zhuang Fan as a smile appeared on his face.
This young man's EQ was indeed high.
"Alright, I have to continue filming!”
"Xiao Zhuang, why don't you come and make a cameo?"
Of course, Zhang Qian was talking about the circus. Zhuang Fan nodded and pointed at the black horse that was eating grass.""Alright, I'll take that dark horse. I don't want it to mess around again!”
"Good!"
Zhang Qian understood what Zhuang Fan meant. He was afraid that the black horse would be frightened again.
Many horses were very afraid when they heard the sound of gunfire.
"Then, Director Zhang, I'll…take my leave first?”
Zhang Wei said to Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian did not even look at him and directly waved his hand.
Zhang Wei gave Zhuang Fan a look, and Zhuang Fan quickly followed.
"Thank you for just now!"
Zhang Wei was referring to Zhuang Fan mentioning "Director Little Zhang". Zhuang Fan pretended not to know."Thank…for what?"
"Alright, it's good that you know!"
" The one week we agreed on before is also invalid. You're really awesome. It's only been half a day and you've already hooked up with the executive director..."
A week?
Zhang Wei felt that Zhuang Fan had definitely done it on purpose.
This kid was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
However, this also indirectly explained the other party's ability.
"I'll help you ask around in the afternoon to see if there's any role suitable for you!”
Zhang Wei's words were sincere. He really wanted to help Zhuang Fan.
Some people, you can see their potential.
Just like Zhuang Fan in front of her, who could chat happily with the director in a day? Which extra could do that?
On the way here, Zhang Wei had actually thought a lot.
For a student like Zhuang Fan, who should be able to enter the Beijing Film Academy, plus a 19-year-old who had acting experience and many skills, if he was properly taken care of, he might have many paths in the future.
In the film and television industry, connections were king, followed by strength.
No matter how good your acting skills are, it's useless if no production team wants you.
In the film and television industry, connections were extremely important. Anyone who made it big was basically observant, not to mention Zhang Wei, who was brought up by Zhang Qian since he was young. He had been influenced a lot over the years.
For example, in 2001, Liu Yanming, the boss of Hairun Film and Television, bought a novel from the airport bookstore to pass the time.
He didn't expect that after reading it, he couldn't stop at all. After he got off the computer, he immediately got someone to contact the author of the novel and bought the copyright to prepare to adapt it into a TV series.
This novel was 'Unsheathed Sword'!
There were many directors in Hairun, and some were more famous than Zhang Qian. However, in the end, the reason why he was able to win the directing rights of this TV series was all because of another director of this TV series-Chen Jian!
'Drawing Swords' had two executive directors.
Zhang Qian was in charge of directing, while Chen Jian was in charge of " learning ". In terms of directing skills, Chen Jian might not even be as good as Zhang Wei, but the production team's assistant director, Wang Yanbing, was much better than the two of them.
Chen Jian's resume was completely blank. He had never directed a movie before.
However, Chen Jian was the executive director and Wang Yanbing was the director's assistant.
This was because Chen Jian's background was incomparable to Wang Yanbing's. It could be said that Zhang Qian was able to get this TV series because of Chen Jian's connections and connections.
It wasn't too much to give him the title of director.
No matter how good you are at acting, it's useless without a background or connections.
Therefore, Zhang Wei was well versed in this.
If Zhuang Fan became rich in the future, it would be much easier for him to use his name. But now, he only needed to do a favor.
What could he not do in exchange for a huge favor in the future?
……
"Come, get ready to continue!"
Zhang Qian was holding a loudspeaker and shouting. The script supervisor beside him was already holding a board with a row of words written on it.
"Circus, third day, fifth round!”
Pa!
The script supervisor slapped the board, and Zhang Qian's voice resounded throughout the venue."Begin!"
Hush, Lulu ~~~
The cavalrymen in the field immediately pulled their horses and began a new round of filming. Zhuang Fan, who was wearing the smelly costume of the cavalry unit, also blended in with the crowd.
He was the most casual and graceful person in the entire scene, and the horse's movement and stillness changed as the camera moved.
Even Jiang Shui, who had trained for more than a month, had to admit that Zhuang Fan's riding skills were really cool.
Jiang Shui was playing Sun Desheng, the company commander of the cavalry company of the Independent Regiment in 'Drawing Swords.'
"This riding posture is indeed handsome!”
Even Zhang Qian had to admit that Zhuang Fan was the best at riding a horse.
"Director, should we give that kid a few close-ups?”
The cameraman asked Zhang Qian, who was looking at the monitor. Zhang Qian did not hesitate at all. He did not even raise his head and directly extended his hand to make an okay gesture.
Whoosh--
The camera with a high camera instantly pointed in Zhuang Fan's direction and began to focus.
"Cavalry Company, charge!"
Jiang Shui shouted according to her lines. Zhuang Fan pulled on the reins and instantly caught up. The other stuntmen also rushed out.
Dust filled the air, and the aura was high.
Originally, Zhang Qian only wanted to shoot a scene of horses galloping, which meant that he only wanted to shoot the horse's legs. Then, he would do some editing to make it look like a hundred horses galloping. How could he hold it in now? He shouted at the cameraman on the sidelines,"Old Gao, get the camera, quick!"
The cameras on several cameras switched to the far and near lens. Zhang Qian looked at it and felt more and more satisfied. However, he felt that something was missing!
However, he could not tell the specifics.
Until Zhuang Fan suddenly shouted,""Kill them!"
"Charge, charge…"
He cooperated with Jiang Shui like a deputy company commander.
Pa!
Zhang Qian slapped his thigh and instantly understood.
Lines!
Yes, there were too few lines.
Zhuang Fan's roar was absolutely perfect.
Jiang Shui, who was completely immersed in his character, seemed to have been stimulated by his "kill". It was as if countless Japanese had appeared in front of him. He raised his saber and shouted,"Cavalry Company, attack the enemy!”
"Attack the Japanese!"
Zhuang Fan echoed. The two of them shouted as they rushed forward. All the extras also shouted in unison,"Kill!"
“……”
The group of extras who were waiting in line were scared out of their wits by this lineup.
If it weren't for the special effects director's shout, they wouldn't have dared to step forward at all.
Five minutes later, Zhang Qian shouted happily,""Crack!"
"It's too much!"
"Damn it, after filming for a day and a half, I finally got past this part!”
Zhang Qian cursed and said to a script supervisor beside him,"You can take off the one you saved previously!”
"Alright, Director!"
The script supervisor could also feel the lightness in the director's body. In the entire crew, Zhang Qian's scenes had the highest requirements. It was not perfect, but it was meticulous!
He was a very serious director. He had to confirm every detail of every scene several times. The feeling of every scene must not be the slightest bit different. Other than having high expectations for acting, he also valued the state of the actors. For example, Zhuang Fan's roar just now was definitely the key to filming this scene well.
"Rest for an hour and prepare for the next scene!”
"The main leads are going to rehearse. Zhuang Fan, come over here!”
Zhang Qian waved at Zhuang Fan again. Zhuang Fan knew the reason.
Adding scenes without authorization, or changing scenes and adding lines without authorization, was something that many directors were very disgusted with.
However, there were pros and cons.
If you don't add it well, the director will definitely scold you. But what if it was good?
Zhuang Fan was just an extra anyway. At most, he would offend Zhang Qian, but if he succeeded, he would leave a good impression.
Reality proved that Zhuang Fan, who had more than 20 years of acting experience, had made the right bet.
"You brat, who told you to add more scenes?”
"Do you have any lines?"
Zhang Qian looked like he was scolding Zhuang Fan, but he was actually asking a question.
Zhuang Fan hurriedly said," Director, this is the only time. I don't know what I was thinking at that time. I suddenly felt that it would be better to shout it out!”
"Just this once. If you have any ideas next time, let me know after filming, okay?”
Zhang Qian glared fiercely at Zhuang Fan. Zhuang Fan looked like he was enjoying it and nodded his head."Understood. There won't be a next time!"
"Well, it's good that you know!"
"But…"
Zhang Qian grinned and changed the topic,""Added, not bad!"
“……”
Zhuang Fan did not look proud at all. He acted as if he did not hear that.
Zhang Qian was very satisfied with Zhuang Fan's attitude and smiled.""Don't be an extra anymore. Be a promising actor first!”
