Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Chapter 8

Chen Xiao stepped forward and introduced himself,"Hello everyone, I am Chen Xiao, the director of Titanic. Thank you for your strong support."

Seeing his humble attitude, all the film and television people present felt a little more comfortable.

After a round of introductions and greetings,

Zhang Jianhua smiled and said,"Then you can chat internally. Lao Wang and I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Then he walked to Chen Xiao's side, his eyes swept over everyone,"Dear teachers, please take care of our Director Chen."

He didn't know much about film shooting, and he came here today just to support Chen Xiao.

There was no need to stay after the goal was achieved.

After a few simple instructions, he and Wang Zhan left the meeting room.

Nine core production team members and an assistant were left in the meeting room.

Everyone knew that the meeting was about to start, and they all got up from the sofa.

As the chief director, Chen Xiao sat directly at the main seat at the conference table, put a large pile of materials on the table, his eyes fell on everyone, and he smiled and spoke

"Thank you for participating in the production of Titanic."

"Today, let's do two things first. The first is to discuss and understand the script, and make sure everyone has a common understanding of the film's visuals and narrative."

Hearing this, many people's smiles disappeared.

It's fine if this relative is just a name, but how come he actually became a director?

A good script was used by him to practice, which is a waste of talent! Just say a few words and leave quickly, don't really give instructions!

However, Chen Xiao did not stop as they wished, and continued to smile:

"May I ask if Mr. Fan, the art director, and Mr. Cai, the director of photography, are free later? The shooting location is nearby. If you are free, I would like to go with you to inspect the location."

Art director Fan Rilin was unhappy for a moment, but he quickly convinced himself.

This chief director is young and inexperienced, but he has a good attitude.

Unlike some actors who can only say 1234567, are arrogant and look down on their predecessors.

Young people are humble, and with more guidance from their predecessors, there will be no problem.

He smiled and said,"I have no problem."

Director of photography Cai Ji did not have such a broad mind, and said expressionlessly,"Okay."

"Okay, thank you both."

Chen Xiao gave his assistant Xiao Wu a look and asked him to send the information he brought to the other eight people.

"I think you have read the script, right? This is the storyboard I prepared, feel free to read it."

……

Cai Ji flipped through the script.

He was getting more and more dissatisfied.

He came here today with great ambitions!

In recent years, his relationship with major directors has become strained.

I heard from Mr. Wang that there is a very capable director from abroad.

He wanted to take this opportunity to become famous with a good director.

As a result, the big director turned out to be a young boy.

This young boy just put his name on the script and went home to sleep. He is still giving orders here!

Thinking of this, Cai Ji's movements of turning the paper became rough. He didn't even look at it carefully, and just flipped through it.

Suddenly, he paused, frowned, stared at the storyboard script for a few seconds, and looked at Chen Xiao

"Director Chen, are you planning to actually shoot the scene where the hull breaks?"

"That's right, cut the prop ship in half first, and use large machinery and lifting equipment to control the hull from breaking and sinking."

Cai Ji was speechless.

Isn't this nonsense?

Destroy the ship directly for filming. There is no rehearsal, and only one shot can be taken. What if the filming fails?

It's just a child's play!

He waved his hand,"For this scene, just use computer technology directly, there is no need"

"No, computer special effects are not realistic enough, we have to shoot it for real."

Chen Xiao said firmly.

This scene is one of the climaxes of the whole film, and it must be shot for real!

This can be said in a more tactful way.

But the attitude of this director of photography is not only to express his opinion, but also to challenge the authority of the chief director.

As the chief director, he can't be like a soft persimmon and smile foolishly to smooth things over.

Cai Ji sneered.

This kid still doesn't listen to his predecessors.

Okay, he finally understood.

Diamond Company is rich and powerful, and it let a young man in his early twenties come to experience the entertainment industry.

He originally came for the big director, not the script.

Now the big director is gone.

He doesn't have time to play around with a little kid.

"Sorry, I have something to do later, so I'll leave now."

After saying that, he grabbed his coat, opened the door and walked out

"Director Chen, he has a bad temper. Don't be angry. Let's continue."Fan Rilin has a good temper. Seeing that the atmosphere is a bit tense, he smiled and tried to smooth things over.

He glanced at the door.

The old man has skills, but he makes all the crews restless all day long. It's better for him to leave.

"Well, Mr. Fan, you are too polite."Chen Xiao smiled and looked at the others,"I hope we can do our best to make this film. If you are busy, don't force yourself."

After waiting for two or three minutes, no one else left.

After all, the others came for the script, and they were also concerned about Wang Zhan's face. They couldn't just leave like the hot-tempered Cai Ji.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Chen Xiao said,"Let's continue. Please take a look at the script and we will discuss it in ten minutes."

Everyone picked up the script in front of them and started flipping through it.

The script was distributed from the right side just now. When Cai Ji made the suggestion, Fan Rilin had just received the script and had not had time to flip through it.

Fan Rilin picked up the script and sighed in his heart.

Leading young people requires a little more hard work.

I should also need to redraw the shot-by-shot script myself.

Well, never mind.

Such a good script, it doesn't matter if it's a little hard work, don't waste it.

Let's take a look at what this young man has drawn first. If it can be used after some changes, it would be the best.

Thinking of this, he opened the script.

But at first glance, his face instantly became serious.

This painting skill is not something that an amateur can draw!

The brushstrokes are simple and sharp. Judging from the lines and human body structure, it can be said that he is a top student in the painting major!

Fan Rilin simply flipped to the back and turned to his favorite scene.

He wanted to see how this kid could paint the sunset scene.
