Chapter 325: Misfortunes Never Come Alone (12)

Xiaobai has the recklessness of a greenhorn. Not only does she act well, but she also quickly learns to resist the old employees.

In the play, Zhu Jingjing, played by her, and her half-brother Zhu Chaoyang dislike each other and always have gloomy faces. This emotion was brought outside the play by Chen Rong, who played Zhu Chaoyang. He also didn't treat Xiaobai well and even frightened her.

Xiaobai remembered that there was a scene during the filming where she stepped on Chen Rong's white shoes. She really stepped on them, leaving a deep footprint. Chen Rong jumped in pain, and the people on the scene laughed. She is worthy of being a Sichuan kid, a little overlord, and interesting.

After this, Chen Rong dared not bully this little bean again. This kid can't be intimidated, and her background is strong. The coordinator and the casting director wanted to replace her but failed. Instead, the casting director was sent away. What can a little actor do?

He bought Coke and chips for Xiaobai, but when he learned that Xiaobai was forbidden to drink Coke, he changed to Little Bear drinks in an attempt to bribe her.

In the crew, she was not afraid of anyone teasing her. If she got angry and quarreled, she would scream and scream fiercely. Everyone said that her personality was completely different from Bai Jianping.

The filming process was quite smooth until Xiaobai acted with the actress in the play. According to the lines, she had to call her mother, but she couldn't.

After several cuts, Xiaobai still couldn't call her mother. Zhang Tan talked to her, and the actress who played her mother also talked to her in and out of the play, hoping to eliminate the psychological barrier.

In the end, she shouted, but it always felt strange and wrong. Director Liu Jinlu thought it was not okay. Zhang Tan didn't want Xiaobai to be embarrassed, so he changed the lines and deleted "Dad" and "Mom", but fortunately it didn't affect the plot.

Because Xiaobai had a role to play these days, Zhang Tan did not come and go for three days and rest for two days, nor did he stay in the office all day. Instead, he followed Liu Jinlu and looked like an assistant director.

"It looks like that."

Liu Jinlu observed for a few days and affirmed Zhang Tan's directing ability. He was very capable and often considered things more carefully and meticulously than him.

"Do you want to become a director in the future?" Liu Jinlu asked.

Zhang Tan asked a lot of questions these days and looked very eager to learn. He had a heart to help others achieve their goals. In addition, Zhang Tan had a high level of understanding and strong coordination and organizational skills. He could build good relationships with all kinds of people in the crew. He seemed to have the basic qualities to be a director, so he answered all questions and even gave in-depth guidance.

The directing industry is not a martial arts school. There is no such thing as a secret martial arts book.

Zhang Tan answered while observing the monitor: "My major in college was directing. Since there is an opportunity, why not verify the theoretical knowledge I learned and enrich my skills?"

Liu Jinlu curled his lips and said it in a high-sounding manner. Why didn't he see him so diligent before? It was because Xiaobai came. If it weren't for Xiaobai's role, he was sure that Zhang Tan would be either in the office or in a corner.

Liu Jinlu had the intention to teach Zhang Tan. He really thought he was a rough jade. If he polished it, he might succeed. There are not many seniority-based directors in the director industry. Every year, young directors emerge. This group of people has become a new force that cannot be ignored in the Chinese-language film industry; on the contrary, those directors who have been famous for a long time are suspected of living off their old reputation, without innovation, and can't keep up with the times.

Zhu Jingjing's role is not much, and she can't be ranked among the supporting roles. She died in the third episode, unlike "Women at Thirty", where she can be the number one female supporting role.

There was a scene where Zhu Jingjing thought that Pupu and Zhu Chaoyang were teaming up to bully her. She bit Pupu in a fit of emotion, climbed up the windowsill and shouted loudly, but she slipped and fell out of the window and died.

The script was written like this, but during filming, of course, it was impossible to let Xiaobai climb the window on the fifth floor. How dangerous it would be.

It was just a low window, less than one meter from the ground. After filming, it was handed over to post-production, and it could be a thousand-foot abyss.

No one paid attention to such a low height, so during filming, Xiaobai slipped and almost fell down.

Although it was only one meter, it would be painful to fall down, not to mention a 5-year-old child, who must have cried miserably.

Zhang Tan shuddered in his heart and wanted to run over to be a scapegoat, but someone was faster than him and fell to the ground like a fly. However, the other person was not a scapegoat, but raised his hands and caught Xiaobai the moment he landed.

It was Zhao Wankun, the executive deputy director of the crew!

Zhang Tan ran over second and asked if Xiaobai was injured.

Xiaobai was not injured or frightened, but was a little confused.

Zhang Tan was relieved when he saw this, and reached out to pull Zhao Wankun up, thanking him: "Director Zhao, thank you~~~"

Zhao Wankun lay on the ground, smiled bitterly and waved his hands, and other staff members also gathered around to help him up.

"My waist is sprained, let me take it easy." He said.

An experienced staff member of the crew asked him to lie on the ground and not move, and called the crew's doctor.

There is usually at least one doctor on standby in the crew to prevent various emergencies. After all, it is common to have injuries and bumps during filming.

The doctor lifted Zhao Wankun's clothes, carefully checked his waist, and asked: "Have you ever hurt your waist before?"

Zhao Wankun was touched by him and grinned, "I sprained it a few years ago."

"It's a bit troublesome. Not only did you sprain your waist, but you were also overworked, your lumbar muscles were strained, and your old injury recurred. You need to go to the hospital for a deeper examination."

The executive deputy director of the crew was sent to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, the sprain became more serious and he could not get up directly. He had to be hospitalized.

Xiaobai was panicked and said that he was scared to death.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao will be well soon." Zhang Tan comforted Xiaobai.

Misfortunes never come alone. The crew was very unlucky that day. Not only did they send away the executive deputy director, but director Liu Jinlu also sprained his ankle while shooting on location. Although it was not serious, his movements were affected. The doctor suggested that he try to sit in front of the monitor and not move around, and rest for two or three days.

"Zhang Tan, come and help." Liu Jinlu said.

Zhao Wankun's position is more accurately called the on-site executive deputy director. He is the left hand of director Liu Jinlu, and his right hand is the overall planner.

Although some crews have several deputy directors, such as the first deputy director and the second deputy director, they are actually just deputy directors in name only, and their work has nothing to do with shooting.

For example, the casting director, although also called the director, is responsible for actor management, which has nothing to do with shooting.

The person in charge of overall planning is also called the director, but in fact, he is the chief steward of the crew;

The action director is also called the director, but in another crew, he may be called the martial arts director.

In "The Secret Corner", Liu Jinlu did not set up so many assistant directors, but they were doing the work, just with different names.

After Zhao Wankun was injured and hospitalized, he lost his left hand, and he also sprained his foot, so he had to have an assistant director to help carry the burden. After thinking about it, Zhang Tan was the most suitable and ready-made. Zhang Tan asked questions these days and knew a lot. With him next to him to plan and strategize, there was no big problem.
