Chapter 82 Hurry up and Comfort Me
"Changed?" Yan Ran suddenly smiled, but in everyone's eyes, this smile was not warm at all, and seemed to contain a lot of ruthlessness, "Do you think changing actors is child's play, just change them at your request? And the actors didn't act. Well, the director has to take responsibility too, so I'll tell you now what happens next.
I will still point out your problems, and I will tell you my requirements more clearly. If you have any opinions, you can mention them to me. If you still have differences after discussion, you have to listen to me. If you cannot meet my requirements, you will reshoot. Until I'm satisfied, not just you, but everyone else too.
You have two choices. One is to be more attentive and finish the filming as soon as possible, and we will all be happy. The other is to continue to perfunctory and keep doing NG again. We torture each other. Although the crew is burning money every day of delay, but compared to The issue of money is even more unacceptable to me if the actors I personally selected for the movies I directed did not perform well.
Of course, there is no third option. If you just don’t want to film and want to leave, you can take legal measures to resolve the matter. "
Except for Du Xiao, this was the first time for others to experience Yan Ran's toughness and stubbornness.
The reason why Zou Xianzheng just proposed to replace the film, rather than to stop filming, is because he also knows that he will have to pay compensation if he quits.
The most important thing is that the crew is obviously not on his side, and several of his classmates have no problem complaining together, and they have no intention of sharing his hatred after his outburst.
"I'll give you half an hour to adjust your mood." Yan Ran stood up, took her cell phone and the script and left.
At this time, the assistant director quickly went to communicate with the actors.
Du Xiao chased after Yan Ran and saw her leaving the room and going directly outdoors. She stood in the sun and took a deep breath. He ran over and rubbed her back: "Don't be so angry."
Yan Ran smiled and said: "It's nothing. Teacher Yu reminded me before to establish prestige. Although I did it intentionally, it seems that it is still not enough. Although I am a senior, I am only two years older than them. Except for college I won an award at that time and had zero professional experience. Being scolded by a rookie director probably hurt my face a bit.”
Du Xiao said in surprise: "Why, you still want to understand him? Your quality is high enough. If you ask me, I must be swearing."
"Swearing curse words is not justified." Yan Ran reached out and poked her head, "I don't want to understand him, but I have been mentally prepared for this kind of thing. If I don't change the script, I will change those years. An experienced actor might not contradict me, but there will be other situations.”
Du Xiao thought for a while and tried to imitate: "'Director Yan, I have been acting for ten years. I think this part will be more effective if I act it my way.' Do you mean to use your qualifications to pressure you?"
Yan Ran smiled and said: "It's very possible, isn't it?"
"Indeed." Du Xiao nodded.
Yan Ran continued: "Comparedly speaking, these juniors are a bit arrogant and have stronger self-esteem, but they are still easy to deal with."
Du Xiao thought about it and agreed: "Oh, back then we had the same self-esteem as glass. It would break when touched, but after it was broken, we could sweep it up and put it back together again. It's quite interesting to be young."
Yan Ran asked a funny question: "What do you mean, are you not young anymore, or are you no longer glass?"
Du Xiao thought for a while: "Bulletproof glass?"
"Hey." Yan Ran rolled her eyes.
Du Xiao said anxiously: "Don't take it seriously. My birthday this year is 24. Rounding it off, it's almost 30."
"Yes, it's time to retire after giving up for a while." Yan Ran ignored her and took out her mobile phone to send a message to Xu Rui, "I just got angry on the set and beat up several actors. Now I'm a little upset. Please coax me!"
At this time, Du Xiao's head came over, and before Yan Ran pushed her face away, he could see the content clearly, and exclaimed: "Coax me? Are you able to say this without changing your face!"
"Who told you to peek? Go and go." Yan Ran squeezed her away and waited for a while. When she didn't see a reply, she put away her phone, took out the script, and simulated what she wanted in her mind while reading it. The effect of shooting.
Half an hour later, when she still didn't receive a reply, she pouted quietly, and then walked back as if nothing had happened: "Go back, this time is enough for them to adjust their emotions."
With the comfort of the assistant director and the encouragement of his classmates, Zou Xianzheng became calmer. When he saw Yan Ran coming back, he took the initiative to walk over.
Yan Ran thought that he could calm down and work normally, and also thought that he might apologize to her one day in the future, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
"Director Yan, I was impulsive just now. I'm sorry." Not only Yan Ran, Du Xiao, Yu Yisheng and other staff were also surprised.
"Endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden, and endure the hardship by sleeping on your salary?" Du Xiao blurted out.
Yan Ran stepped on her and told her to shut up.
"That's right." Zou Xianzheng actually admitted, surprising everyone again, but after saying that, he explained, "It's not for revenge. What Director Yan just said was a bit unbearable. It's because I didn't have the right mentality. I hope I can prove myself as an actor." strength and integrity.”
Seeing Zou Xianzheng's serious expression, Yan Ran said, "I am willing to believe you."
The process of working together for the first time and filming is also a process for the director and the actors to get to know each other.
Compared with the crew members who have been together for a while, these actors did not officially join the cast until a few days ago after passing the audition. After the movie started, she simply regarded each other as actors. Through this incident, she I am also gradually getting to know the characters of these juniors and juniors.
Zou Xianzheng is impulsive, arrogant, and has a strong self-esteem, but he is also very good at adjusting his emotions. This may bother ordinary young people for a day or two, and some may not even be able to get over this hurdle, but he calmed down in half an hour, and had the courage to bear the consequences of his impulsiveness. He is indeed a bit extraordinary to be able to rank among the best in his class.
Yan Ran also adjusted her emotions and clapped her hands: "Okay, let's start again. I hope you can be in a better state than during the audition and try to figure out the character's psychology. This is very important, very important. I won't be angry if you don't do it well for a while, but if you still have the same attitude as before, I will still get angry."
Others hurriedly took their positions and started filming again.
…
Xu Rui saw Yan Ran's message after he finished practicing his voice. He thought about how to coax her. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't leave the program group, so he could only choose a more vulgar method. He chose a bunch of 9 pink snow mountain roses on the Internet, and then bought some rainbow candies and chocolates and sent them to the set. In order to avoid disturbing the filming, he also specially noted that he would send them during lunch break.
Although flower delivery usually requires an appointment several days in advance, this is not a problem as long as you pay extra.
After a temper tantrum, the atmosphere of the crew was not as harmonious as before, but with the actors' dedication, the efficiency was somewhat improved.
Yan Ran took the time to ask someone to order some lunch boxes for today. She understood the principle of giving a sweet date after a slap.
At noon, after announcing a break, she was ready to see if Xu Rui would reply to her. As soon as she picked up her phone, she saw a call coming in. It was an unfamiliar number marked "takeout/express delivery".
She answered the phone in confusion: "Hello, how are you?"
"Excuse me, is this Miss Yan Ran? Here is a gift from Mr. Xu for you. Can you come out and pick it up?"
"Oh, okay, I'll go out and get it right away."
Du Xiao came over and saw that the emotions emanating from Yan Ran's smile were like a happy lark. Before she could speak, she left her and ran out the door.
"Hey, you!" Du Xiao was so angry that she hurriedly chased after him.
