Chapter 192: Materials to be born to be an actor

This is Feng Xiaogang's first time acting in a movie. What he prepared was OK, but he felt a little cold. It was a sunny day, the sun was good, the temperature was around ten degrees, so he had to wear a sweater and a jacket.

Some of the students below wear long-sleeved and short-sleeved. They think it’s interesting to make movies and are very interested.

However, after acting a few times, I felt bored. The crew also had to find ways to mobilize the students' emotions. Making a movie is a process of repeated adjustments, especially directors like Jiang Wen.

Lin Zixuan watched from the side, staring at the progress of the crew.

The movie is not half completed yet, and it is definitely winter. It’s time to think about it. It’s cold to think about it.

Wen Jun returned to Xiangjiang again to fight for the last investment. It was useless to call, and the investors became suspicious.

This time he will bring investors to the capital to visit the set, proving that the film is still being filmed and increase the confidence of those bosses.

To be honest, Lin Zixuan agrees with Jiang Wen's statement that good movies require careful crafting, and art is made up of money.

If you can’t take a shot a hundred times, then you can take a shot a thousand times and you can always find a perfect shot from it.

However, he is the producer of this film, so he cannot let Jiang Wen continue to craft it so carefully. According to Jiang Wen's method, this movie cannot be finished, not to mention that no advertiser is willing to invest in an art movie.

Advertisers like commercial films, which means they can’t even sell patch advertisements.

Especially now that the news is so tight, there is no investor in movies with this kind of theme in China, and there is no investment chamber of commerce to invest in a film that is likely to be unavailable.

Lin Zixuan only hopes that Wen Jun can convince the bosses in Hong Kong and Taiwan to increase their investment, otherwise it will be very difficult to finish the filming.

"It's been a matter of being troubled, but there's too few scenes and there's no room for performance." Feng Xiaogang said with a little regret after filming this scene.

"You are not a professional actor, I don't have strict requirements. How many expressions do you have are not natural enough?" Jiang Wen pointed out.

"I was cold and my face froze." Feng Xiaogang found a reason for himself.

"Isn't Xia Yu cold? He always performed very well. This child is born to eat this industry. He is the first time he acts and has no acting experience. But he is not nervous at all. Unlike you, it is so difficult to match a show." Jiang Wen said.

"He is young and angry. Can I compete with the young at this age?" Feng Xiaogang argued.

The two of them got used to quarrels. This kind of scene was quite normal, and it was like this when they were in New York.

At that time, Feng Xiaogang was the director and was picking Jiang Wen's faults. Now, Jiang Wen naturally wanted to find Feng Xiaogang's mistakes. He had no malicious intentions, just kidding.

Lin Zixuan watched from the side and said fairly that as a guest-star amateur actor, Feng Xiaogang's performance was pretty good, but compared with Xia Yu, it still seemed insufficient.

Xia Yu joined the crew a little late and trained in the military camp for more than half a month. He had no experience in acting before.

His biggest advantage is that he is not stage frightened, or he doesn't think acting is of great significance. Just let it act. It's no big deal, and he has a spirit of indifferentness.

There are many such actors in this crew.

For example, the second female lead Tao Hong is a synchronized swimmer and has never acted in a show, but she acts generously and naturally and charmingly.

They do not rely on their acting skills, but their personalities are in line with this role, or they may have high understanding.

No matter what, their performances feel natural, just like the character is written for this person, and this kind of person is born to be an actor.

"Brother Jiang, when will you put my scene last? Don't be in winter, you will be offended." Lin Zixuan said worriedly.

"Let's talk about it, I still have a lot of work here." Jiang Wen changed the topic, "Wen Jun is back the day after tomorrow, we have to discuss how to deal with investors and get the investment down."

"Invite them to dinner, drink them down, and everything is fine." Feng Xiaogang said with an idea.

"I'll find someone to take them to visit major attractions in the capital, eat, drink, play and have a one-stop service. Just think they are here for a trip. Anyway, they spend their own money, and all of them are included in the entertainment expenses of the crew." Lin Zixuan suggested.

"You are even more cruel. The wool comes from the sheep." Feng Xiaogang sighed.

"Okay, let's get this money, and it's probably okay to finish the filming." Jiang Wen said confidently.

"You might as well save some flowers." Lin Zixuan reminded.

He couldn't believe Jiang Wen's promise. Jiang Wen had promised to finish the shooting before December. When was it?

Besides, there is still post-production after the filming. Where did the money come from? Now, we can only take one step at a time.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang rushed to the Air Affairs Center. "The Story of the Cooking Class" is about to start filming. This is the first TV series of Haomeng Company, and it must have a good harvest of reputation and profit.

The shooting location is in the studio of the Air Affairs Center. Several major actors have been ready and are eager to try it out.

In order to make this drama well, they worked hard to rehearse and strive to achieve the best state.

Feng Xiaogang originally wanted these actors to get some exercise, but looking at the performance of these people, he decided to start filming directly.

Generally speaking, the actors in a crew come from different units and are not familiar with each other. They need to work together for a while and find a feeling. However, the actors in the Kongzheng Center are from the same unit, and they are all day long, and they are very familiar and do not need to work together.

The only thing that needs to be done is Feng Xiaogang and the staff behind the scenes.

However, for directors who have filmed big productions like "The Capitals in New York", sitcoms are a breeze.

"This is easy to shoot, and I think the progress can be accelerated." Looking at the effect of the shot, Feng Xiaogang said confidently.

"Then let's keep striving for excellence and make a classic. Don't add too many ironic plots." Lin Zixuan reminded.

He was worried that Feng Xiaogang made "The Story of the Cooking Class" into "The Story of the Editorial Department", and that the two TV series were very different.

The former shows the colorfulness of military life through small things in daily life, mainly praise, while the latter shows various bad phenomena in society through various characters and stories, mainly satirizing.

If the styles of the two are confused, they will probably not be able to be filmed.

"Don't worry, when I was in the army, I was just a propaganda. I knew what to do. Everything was to serve the people. Just remember this purpose." Feng Xiaogang concluded.

Lin Zixuan was relieved to say that Feng Xiaogang is a veteran in the circle and he was too worried about all kinds of rules.

Compared to the relaxation here, "Sunny Days" is a little nervous.

Wen Jun brought an investor named Tang to visit the set. Jiang Wen talked to them. When he was asked why he wanted to shoot so much film and was too wasteful, Jiang Wen answered this way.
