Chapter 10 Leo Has an Epiphany, and the Filming Officially Starts!

He personally came to the set for a private visit.

In order not to attract attention, he also changed into a set of clothes that he didn't usually wear.

He wanted to see the situation with his own eyes.

If Chen Xiao is not good enough, change him immediately!

After walking into the set, he searched for a while before finding Chen Xiao and Leo who were rehearsing at the bow.

He sat on an inconspicuous stool beside him and looked at the two's movements.

On the deck.

Chen Xiao took the script and looked at Leo, frowning slightly.

Leo took the drawing board and sat on the chair at the bow to go through the scene of meeting Ruth for the first time.

This scene was before Jack met Ruth, he was drawing at the bow and joking with others.

A passerby said: The dog in the first-class hold came here to poop.

Jack joked: So that we know that we are not even as good as dog shit.

It was just a joke.

Leo performed a strong resentment.

He doesn't look like a free-spirited painter, but more like a person from the lower class oppressed by class. He is about to shout "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different races?"

Seeing the performance was over, Chen Xiao stepped forward and said, "Leo, your emotions are too up and down."

Leo took the script and sighed, "Director Chen, I like this script very much. But can Jack's emotions be more obvious?"

Chen Xiao shook his head.

He has investigated the experience of each actor.

Leo said this not because he had a problem with his understanding of the role, nor was he putting on airs.

It was because of his inertia of thinking.

He wanted to stay in his comfort zone.

Chen Xiao asked with a smile: "You have played characters who are suffering before, right?"

"Well, Jack is too... ordinary, frank and lively. I hope his state can be more distinctive."

"Leo, don't always think about playing special characters. Those characters give you a point to rely on in acting, which are shortcuts to acting. If you can play an ordinary person well, you can become a master who dominates the screen."

Chen Xiao patted his shoulder, put his elbow on the railing, and flipped through the script casually.

But Leo's pupils trembled.

Special roles are shortcuts.

Playing an ordinary person well is a master...

That's right!

He always felt that his acting skills were good, but there seemed to be a bottleneck that he could never break through.

Now he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment!

That's right!

The reason why Boston lobsters can be delicious is because the ingredients are delicious.

The one who can make ordinary scrambled eggs delicious is a real chef!

Leo took a deep breath and looked at Chen Xiao.

He read the comments of netizens at noon and thought that Director Chen was just a show-off, at most a young director who had just graduated.

Unexpectedly, he hit the nail on the head and directly pointed out the problem that had troubled him for a long time.

His eyes changed instantly when he looked at Chen Xiao.

From the previous perfunctory attitude, he turned into admiration and respect.

"Director Chen, I understand, thank you. I want to do this shot again."

"OK."

...

Wang Zhan sat calmly on the chair.

But he was shocked.

Xiao Li did not refute, which meant that Chen Xiao was right!

Xiao Li is the most promising artist under his company, with outstanding acting skills.

He paid a lot of attention to him, but he didn't see that he actually had this problem.

And Chen Xiao and Leo had only met for half a day, but he could point out that his performance had a bottleneck, and even pointed out the root cause of the problem.

This kid, his vision is so sharp!

Wang Zhan suddenly had a hunch in his heart.

Chen Xiao, a newcomer, might really be able to make this movie popular and make it into the top ten or even top five movies of the year!

But we still have to wait for the start of filming to see his directing ability.

But no matter what, he was only in his 20s, and he could write a heart-stirring script. He had a sharp vision and was definitely a genius!

Such a genius must be signed!

If he disagrees...

Wang Zhan touched his chin.

Then introduce him to the one in the Ministry of Culture.

Just treat it as a favor and build a good relationship.

...

Meanwhile.

In the Magic City, the headquarters of Bomanli Jewelry.

The general manager in charge of publicity, the head of the publicity department, the secretary and others were sitting in the conference room.

Minister Cui of the publicity department showed the PPT with a confident smile on his face.

"Everyone, netizens are now cursing Jiahe. Jiahe has a 21% share of the diamond market. If we also release an advertisement in the near future and enter the public eye, then Jiahe's lost customers will flow to us."

The general manager nodded, "Good idea, this advertisement must be shot well! Minister Cui, this matter is your responsibility."

"Yes, I will definitely shoot an advertisement that surpasses Jiahe!"

"Isn't that nonsense?" The general manager laughed, "You can't compete with the last one, you have to shoot well and shoot brilliantly!"

"Yes!"

...

There was a lot of cursing on the Internet.

Jewelry colleagues were waiting to see the joke.

It was under such circumstances.

A week later, "Titanic" officially started!

Almost all the actors were present.

Except for a few leading actors who had already acted with Chen Xiao, everyone else was unsure.

Cai Ji said that the chief director was directing recklessly.

I'm afraid this is a tyrant like King Zhou...

Facing the media camera, everyone forced a smile and felt uneasy.

Can this chief director really do it?

After a short opening ceremony, the first scene began filming.

Chen Xiao flipped through the schedule.

Considering the cost of setting up the scene and transitions, he concentrated the shots at the same location.

Today we filmed the scene on the deck.

The first scene to be filmed was the scene where the two met for the first time.

After confirming that all departments were ready, Assistant Director Xu Feng shouted, "Everyone, get ready!"

The script supervisor came over with a clapperboard and extended the black and white clapperboard into the picture.

The recording microphone was brought to the clapperboard.

The head of the stage: "Everyone, be quiet!"

The focus officer: "Focus!"

The recording assistant: "Recording on!"

"One scene, one shot, one time." The script supervisor shouted, and the clapperboard quickly exited the scene.

Click! The sound of the clapperboard sounded, and the whole audience was silent.

Chen Xiao sat in front of the monitor, staring at the screen. Seeing Leo getting into the state, he said, "Action!"
