It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chen Fei had heard of the position of "light replacement" before, but this was the first time he had actually seen it.

The meaning is also very clear, it refers to the lighting stand-in.

That is, stepping in for the male and female protagonists during filming so that the staff can better determine who is using the lighting on set.

Because some shots need to be shot at high altitudes with a camera on an elevating stand, adjusting the camera position is very time-consuming. Of course, the leading actor does not have time to wait there motionless for lighting, so a stand-in is used to replace the leading actor and wait for the camera position to be lit at high speed. .

This is also to be able to shoot better effects and show the most perfect works to the broad audience.

Zhang Tianai plays Gong Li's "guest substitute" here.

It took nearly an hour and a half before the lighting finally met Zhang Yimou's requirements, and then the crew officially entered the shooting stage.

After finishing her makeup, Gong Li stood up from the rest area and walked towards the group of palace maids.

In contrast, Zhang Tianai, who had been in a stalemate for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Gong Li and said hello, then retreated to the edge of the crowd.

She works like a puppet at the mercy of others, quietly following instructions.

Rubbing her sore shoulders and looking at Chen Fei who was standing behind the monitor and staring at the screen, she thought for a while, gritted her teeth and walked over on her own initiative.

This opportunity was so good that she really didn't want to miss it.

"Hello, Director Chen, I am Zhang Tianai."

Seeing that this little stand-in actually dared to come forward and say hello, some of the actors around who were not on stage were a little surprised.

The rules of the crew are quite strict, and due to the influence of actors from Hong Kong Island, various class divisions have begun to appear.

In their opinion, Zhang Tianai's behavior was against the rules.

Chen Fei is such a big director, why are you trying to join in the fun as a little stand-in? Look like you?

But at this moment, to everyone's surprise, Chen Fei nodded friendly towards her,

"Are you tired? You are quite powerful. You have been motionless for more than an hour. If you let me go, I probably won't be able to bear it..."

"These are what I should do."

Zhang Tianai was quite flattered. She never expected that Chen Fei would talk to her in a chatting tone.

This was something she had never felt before!

Even Zhang Yimou looked back at the two of them, then fixed his gaze on Chen Fei, and asked curiously: "Do you know each other?"

Chen Fei explained: "She is from Nortel's advanced training class. I have seen her photo on a roster. She is an acting teacher with me."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tianai suddenly realized.

No wonder Chen Fei could call her by name as soon as they met, it turned out to be this reason!

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "The little girl is still working hard and well-behaved. Work hard and you will definitely achieve great results in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tianai's eyes suddenly lit up.

This greeting was just right!

The entertainment industry is like this. Sometimes a word of affirmation from a big boss can even save some new actors from struggling for several years!

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about now.

With Zhang Yimou's praise and Chen Fei's words "She and I are the same acting teacher", her status in the cast of "The Golden Armor" will rise rapidly!

This is the power of a big boss’ words!

There were still many extras standing around, and now their eyes were full of envy when they looked at Zhang Tian'ai.

"Leave your contact information and I'll call you if a suitable role becomes available in the future."

Chen Fei took the initiative to mention it again.

This girl has very long legs, and because she is relatively young, she still has a childish look, so she is very suitable for playing the ignorant white-collar woman who is new to the workplace.

This characteristic is still quite rare among actresses.

"Okay, thank you Director Chen for your support..."

Zhang Tianai quickly reported his phone number.

The extras who saw this scene almost had pink eye.

Now who doesn't know that Chen Fei is developing in Hollywood, and as an investor!

After hooking up with him, even if he only shows a little bit from between his fingernails, it will be enough for them to use for the rest of their lives.

After saving the phone number solemnly, Zhang Tianai stepped aside very wisely, but he couldn't restrain his excitement.

After thinking about it, she opened QQ, found the contact information of her best friend, and edited the text messages.

"Beautiful baby! I'm going to be successful! I actually got Director Chen's contact information! I'm so lucky!"

I received a response quickly after sending the message.

"Director Chen? Which Director Chen is it? Chen Kexin? Brother Chen Kai?"

"No! None! It's Chen Fei! It's Chen Fei who won awards in Hollywood and said he would bring the domestic film and television industry into line with international standards. He even won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay before!"

"Wow! You are so lucky! This is a trend that is going to be a big hit!"

"Hehe, when I become popular, I will go to Huayi Music to play with you. You are so popular now. You are in third place in "Super Girl" and I am just a small extra."

"Okay, you are welcome to come anytime. If you work so hard, you will definitely succeed."

"..."

~

Of course, Chen Fei had no way of knowing what the little girl was thinking. After helping Zhang Yimou for a day, he went to have a dinner together in the evening.

Zhang Weiping rushed over excitedly and strongly recommended actors under New Picture to Chen Fei.

Finally, towards the end of the dinner, he even proposed the idea of ​​participating in Hollywood investment. What he meant was that the new picture could compete with China Film and Shanghai Film.

"Okay, I will definitely think about Mr. Zhang when I have the right opportunity."

Chen Fei smiled and nodded, but after leaving the box, he immediately forgot what Zhang Weiping said.

The interest relationship he really wants is to make progress together, develop the domestic film industry together, and create a good atmosphere for the film and television industry.

If such a platform can be built, fame and fortune will definitely not be a problem.

But Zhang Weiping has always followed the "landlord mentality" and only thinks about his own good and doesn't care about anything outside.

This can be seen from the fact that movies such as "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", "A Thousand Miles Alone", "The Golden Armor" and other movies only have new pictures from one investor.

He just wants to make a lot of money for himself and the new picture. As for others... he doesn't care so much.

From Han Sanping's words, this is a selfish guy.

If it weren't for Zhang Yimou, New Picture would definitely be one of the companies that went bankrupt!

~

After the visit to "A City Full of Golden Armor" ended, Chen Fei took the time to go back to the company the next day and checked with Su Guohai some documents that had been accumulated in the company recently.

"The box office share of "Unfortunate Journey" and "Partners in China" has been received, and subsequent copyright fees will be settled in batches.

The share of "Ip Man" is being calculated, the filming of "The Overheard" is almost over, and the "October Siege" is still in preparation, Mr. Huo said there is no rush..."

Perhaps because he was used to Chen Fei's quick shooter style, Su Guohai was not used to Huo Qigang's slowness for a while.

"Just keep an eye on "Eavesdropping". Huo Qigang is a slow man, and he plans to use an all-star cast from Hong Kong for this movie, so the early preparations will definitely be much more complicated."

An all-star cast?

Su Guohai was stunned for a moment, and the actors from Hong Kong Island unconsciously appeared in his mind.

Andy Lau, Louis Koo, Chow Yun-fat, Aaron Kwok, Jacky Cheung...

"How much does it cost to invest?"

"Money is not important, the important thing is ostentation."

Chen Fei shook his head and did not explain too much. He just asked him to cooperate fully when the time comes.

After nodding in agreement, Su Guohai began to report on the progress of other projects, "'Soldier Assault' is almost over, and one-third of the filming of 'Insidious' has been completed. Overall, everything went smoothly."

"That's good. If you have time, I'll go visit the class."

"OK."

Putting away all the documents on the table, Su Guohai thought for a moment and then asked: "The company's funds have been quite abundant recently. When will "Source Code" be released? Should we start preparing for the next movie?"

""Source Code" is scheduled to be released in October. China Film, Shanghai Film and Television, and Wanda will be responsible for the promotion and distribution. We are not responsible for this. As for the next film plan..."

After pondering for a while, Chen Fei suddenly raised his head curiously, "Where is Ning Hao now?"

"I'm still filming that Yahoo commercial. I should be at Huairou Film and Television City with Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kai."

"Come on, you go drive and let's go to Huairou for a walk."

Both of them had a resolute and resolute personality, and they left as soon as they could, and appeared at the gate of Huairou Film and Television City half an hour later.

Su Guohai was quite familiar with this place, so he arrived at the set after a long circuit.

As soon as he got off the car, Chen Fei saw many people gathering in the studio from a distance, but these people were roughly divided into three factions.

The reason why this happens depends on the rules of the "Yahoo Search Star" activity.

The organizer, the Yahoo search brand owner, invested a total of 30 million yuan and jointly held the "Yahoo Search Star" national talent show with Hunan Satellite TV.

The event specially invited three great directors, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, and Ning Hao, to create an online short film each with the theme of "Yahoo Search".

In addition to using popular stars, these three commercials will also select three newcomers in the "Yahoo Star Search" activity.

At that time, these three lucky people, who will be selected by the three directors themselves, will not only be able to join the directors' creative teams and play with popular stars, but will also successfully join Huayi Film and Television Agency Company after the advertisement is completed.

Participate in talent shows, sign with big companies...

This is a scene that many newcomers dream of!

However, compared to the passion of the actors, Ning Hao seemed a little tired.

"Why do I feel like you are tired?"

After observing Ning Hao's condition from the side, Chen Fei stepped forward curiously and asked.

"Ouch, you scared me!"

Ning Hao patted his chest, with a frightened expression on his face, and he looked even more worried.

Seeing Chen Fei staring at him, he sighed helplessly and explained: "This job is not easy to do. You are also a talent show judge, planning, and coordinating shooting. One person is almost divided into several groups. Half done.”

"Why don't you take a rest?"

"Oh, that boss Ma is so busy, he brainwashes us every night, as if he is doing some kind of activity, making each of these actors hypnotized and energetic, vying to stay up late, to dedicate themselves, to pay... "

"Tsk, that one is really eloquent."

With a sigh, Chen Fei looked curiously at the noisy crowd in front of him, "Who will win in your group? How long will it take to get it done?"

"It's a little girl named Zhao Liying."

As he spoke, Ning Hao raised his hand and pointed at a thin figure in the crowd who was reading a script carefully.

"It will probably take more than ten days. It will be too difficult. After this commercial short film is finished, I must take a good rest."

"Well, okay, I happen to have a new script here, so I'll give it to you after the break."

New script? !

Ning Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face glowed with glory again, "No, just give me a look first."

Chen Fei took his eyes away from Zhao Liying and asked, "Aren't you tired?"

"I'm tired, but I only need to move my eyes when reading the script, and don't use my hands, so it won't get in the way."

"Okay." Chen Fei took the script out of his arms and handed it to him.

Ning Hao lowered his eyes and murmured in a low voice: "'Apocalypse'? Is it the previous series?"

"right."

Chen Fei nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Zhao Liying again.

This little girl seems to be quite serious. Even though the surrounding environment is noisy, she is still immersed in the script and is very fascinated by it.

Suddenly, Zhao Liying raised her head and shouted to Ning Hao: "Director, I'm ready!"

While speaking, she glanced at Chen Fei curiously, just because Chen Fei was wearing a mask and sunglasses. So she didn't recognize who it was.

"Ready?"

Ning Hao was watching intently, but when Zhao Liying interrupted him, he felt reluctant to leave.

He hasn’t finished reading the script yet…

Looking at Chen Fei, Ning Hao said tentatively: "Director Chen, why don't you help me shoot this part? I'll read the script first?"

"Is it appropriate?" Chen Fei was somewhat moved.

"What's inappropriate about this?" Ning Hao looked indifferent, "You are a Golden Bear Award-winning director who controls hundreds of millions of dollars in big-budget movies in Hollywood. You condescend to make a short commercial. This is to give them "Yahoo Search" face. "

"Okay, let me try."

Taking the short film script from Ning Hao's hand, Chen Fei took a brief look at it, then picked up the speaker on the table next to him and shouted to the set:

"Scene notes, lighting, actors preparation, and other irrelevant people step aside..."

The assistant director who was directing the actors' movements was a little confused.

Who is this person?

Why are you taking command for Ning Hao?

A group of actors also looked confused at this time, and they were all curious about who this person was.

But the next second, when Chen Fei took off his sunglasses and mask and put them aside, and then began to direct the clearing, everyone's eyes widened.

"What the hell? Mr. Chen?!"

The assistant director was brought in by Ning Hao, who was an intern director at Feiyue Film and Television and also came from Nortel.

Now that he saw the company boss coming, he was inexplicably panicked.

It's a good thing that I didn't question it just now, otherwise this internship period would have been a waste!

…

There was a slight commotion in the crew, and the leading actors couldn't care less about anything else at the moment and hurriedly came over to say hello.

"Hello, Director Chen, my name is Zhao Liying."

The script was held tightly in her hands, and the little girl looked a little nervous.

This was her first time contacting such a high-status director.

Judging from her subjective consciousness, although Chen Fei is not very old, in terms of strength and status, even Feng Xiaogang and Brother Chen Kai cannot compare to him!

"Well, hello, go get ready. Next, I will take the photo for Director Ning."

Zhao Xiaodao, who was born in 1987, is only 3 years younger than Chen Fei, but this girl seems to have grown a little slowly, and she still has some baby fat on her face.

Nodding slightly, Zhao Liying suppressed her excitement and trotted to get ready.

…

The shooting went smoothly. In less than an hour, Chen Fei had completed most of the work.

At the same time, Ning Hao also finished reading the script.

"The story is great, but does it have to be shot in Thailand?"

"Yes." Chen Fei nodded and responded: "Some of the shots will definitely need to be shot outside, but it's not really that many. More scenes can be shot inland."

"I understand." Ning Hao put the script away smoothly, and then said: "I can shoot this script, have you reviewed it? Let Guohai do the preliminary preparations first.

After this is finished, I can immediately join the team and start filming. We will strive to release it by the end of the year and win another box office championship. "

Fade Chen couldn't help but feel happy, "Don't you want to rest?"

Ning Hao said seriously: "I suddenly feel that I am not tired anymore. I want to dedicate my modest efforts to the company."

"I heard that Sister Na is about to give birth?"

"Well, he is a son and he has to earn money for milk powder."

"Hahahahaha!"

…

After all, the script was in Su Guohai's hands, and it had to be sent for review before filming started. After all, the filming had to be done abroad, and some procedures needed help from the General Administration.

Chen Fei did not stay here too long. After saying hello to Feng Xiaogang and Brother Chen Kai, he and Su Guohai left Huairou Film and Television City.

Watching his back disappear, Brother Chen Kai had a complicated expression on his face.

The failure of "The Promise" caused him to suffer a lot of abuse, but on the other hand, Chen Fei has repeatedly won awards and his status in the industry has risen rapidly.

Everyone’s surname is Chen, why is there such a big gap?

…

On the way back, Chen Fei's personal cell phone suddenly rang.

As soon as the connection was connected, Flory's voice came from the receiver, "Fei, we have arrived at Tianmen Mountain and are setting up broadcast equipment. When can you come over?"

Yo?

Is this it?

After thinking about it, he responded: "See you tomorrow night, let's meet directly at the top of Tianmen Mountain."

"Ok, we will prepare the tent for you in advance."

"Thanks."

The reason why the meeting time is set at night is mainly to facilitate monitoring of wind speed and air humidity.

Wind speed determines the success or failure of the challenge, while air humidity determines the take-off time.

Both of these must be ensured to be foolproof in order to successfully complete the challenge, so it is necessary to conduct inspections in advance to prevent special situations.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei directly arranged for the company's finance to buy him a ticket to Zhangjiajie.

SS-level mission, wingsuit flight in Tianmen Mountain, is about to begin...
