After the filming was completed, I awakened my superpowers.

Chapter 79: In order to become stronger! I can only suffer Director Chen (Please order first)

……

Of course, the poker cards that Sheng Yixia played were just for show. He restrained his strength, so when they hit people, it would only cause a slight pain but would not hurt them.

Those action actors acted really well.

And at the same time.

Sheng Yixia had also turned over and climbed onto the wall. After he stood still, he turned around gracefully, his face not red and he was not out of breath. He laughed loudly at Huang Laocai who was chasing him breathlessly: "Huang Laocai, thank you for your ten carts of food. That saved a lot of people. I was doing that to accumulate merit for you, so please don't thank me."

After saying that, he did a handsome somersault and landed on the other side of the wall.

This action marks the end of this chase scene.

on site.

There was silence for more than ten seconds before the assistant director reacted and shouted "Cut!"

"Good!" Gu Yonghan was the first to cheer and clapped his hands.

The other actors and staff on the scene just woke up and applauded.

Suddenly, thunderous applause broke out, echoing throughout the studio and lasting for a long time.

Even director Chen Laodeng had to put down his thermos cup and applaud despite his cheeks twitching constantly.

Amid applause, Sheng Yixia turned over from the other side of the wall, smiled and bowed to everyone, then walked forward to look at the monitor. After watching it, he found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with this one, so he looked at Director Chen and said, "Director Chen, I don't know if I performed well."

"How about you help me take a look at this one?"

Director Chen's cheek twitched again, and he felt a burning pain on his face. He drank a sip of tea to hide his emotions before saying, "No need to look at it. The one just now should be pretty good. If you're worried, you can insure..."

"Forget it, forget it. No need to insure it anymore."

He was originally prepared to say yes out of habit, but he felt that if he watched Sheng Yixia act it out again, it would be like stepping on his face and rolling around a few more times.

Why should you seek torture upon yourself?

Moreover, from his professional perspective, the scene just now was indeed shot very well, with a smooth rhythm, cool movements, and done in one go.

I don't know where this guy learned to shoot from one shot! ?

Then, he quietly stuffed the storyboard of the scene he designed behind his back.

This thing must not be seen by anyone else. He planned to find a time to tear it up and burn it to ashes, leaving no evidence.

This scene.

You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from the ocean.

Yu Haiyang had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but feel smug in his heart.

Old Chen, Old Chen, how about Sheng Yixia that I strongly recommended?

Now, what else do you have to say? Are you completely convinced?
However, he did not dismantle Director Chen's show on the spot.

After all, doing so can easily cause internal conflicts within the crew and be detrimental to the overall filming.

Fortunately, Director Chen is a veteran who has been in the industry for many years. After a while, he no longer looked embarrassed. Instead, he said with emotion: "Yixia, you really did not disappoint my expectations of you."

"?" Sheng Yixia's mouth twitched slightly. How could he start talking about this hope?

Director Chen seemed not to notice Sheng Yixia's speechless expression, and his face turned serious and earnest: "From your performance in the audition in the hotel, I know that you have excellent shot design ability and rhythm control ability!"

"I specially found an opportunity to test you today. As expected, you are indeed quite talented in directing."

"How about this, you stay with me and learn from me more. Maybe one day you can change your career from an actor to an excellent director."

"Yixia, don't let me down for my high expectations of you."

Ah this...

Sheng Yixia was also caught off guard by his praise, and hurriedly thanked him humbly: "Thank you Director Chen for your respect and cultivation."

However, I couldn't help but admire him secretly in my heart.

This old fox is worthy of being called an old fox. His ability to smooth things over is so strong. You can really learn a lot by following him.

"Come on, come on, what are you all standing there for? Lao Zhao, are the next scene between the hero and heroine ready?" Director Chen saw that the matter was resolved, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Ah this..."

Assistant Director Lao Zhao was also confused by the question, thinking to himself, wasn't your original plan to temper Sheng Yixia's arrogance through this chase scene?

The original plan was that this scene would take at least half a day to shoot, but I never expected it to be finished so quickly. The preparations for the second scene haven’t even started yet.

However, he was not stupid enough to expose Director Chen directly.

If the assistant director doesn't want to take the blame, how can the director be asked to take it?
"Oh, I'm sorry, Director Chen. I was so busy just now that I forgot. I'll go prepare it now." The assistant director hurriedly called the male lead He Yunqiu and the female lead Xiong Yike, and took them to the dressing room to put on makeup, and by the way told them the key points of the next scene.

Director Chen also enthusiastically took Sheng Yixia to study the storyboard of the next scene, the position of the camera crew, the lighting layout, etc.~~ He looked like a kind elder who was seriously supporting Sheng Yixia.

And Sheng Yixia naturally took the opportunity to study hard.

I have to admit that Chen Laodeng has become a well-known online director and is sought after by capital. He does have some skills. I can really learn a lot from him.

After the male and female protagonists He Yunqiu and Xiong Yike finished their makeup, the shooting process for the next scene began.

The rhythm of this drama is slow and simple, and the acting skills of the male and female protagonists are also very strong, so they quickly got into the state and acted easily and naturally. They only NGed twice and passed this one.

Then came the second and third...

As the entire crew started to get going, the pace of filming gradually quickened.

This is the case with online movies. In order to save costs, the pace of filming is very fast. The shooting period of many films only adds up to ten days or half a month.

Even a well-funded crew like Rogue One has high requirements for the shooting pace.

Sheng Yixia was also filming when there was a play, and watching and learning how to direct when there was no play. When he had free time, he would try to figure out the script and the role. From time to time, he would come to the screenwriter Lao Wang and say, "Teacher Wang, I don't quite understand the mentality of the protagonist in this play. How about you tell me more about it?"

Faced with Sheng Yixia, who is smart, studious, handsome and very polite, screenwriter Mr. Wang is quite patient. He picked up the script and started to explain it to him one by one. However, as he was talking, he realized that something was wrong.

Although Sheng Yixia's understanding of the script was not thorough, his logical ability was very strong. Often, when the two of them were chatting, they would find a plot hole...

Then, the two of them could only start discussing this loophole and how to make up for it and get around it.

after an hour.

Screenwriter Mr. Wang had to take out his laptop and start adjusting and modifying that part of the plot. After finishing the modification, he read the plot again.

Wow, after this change, the plot is much smoother and the details can stand up to scrutiny.

The climax part is also higher and more exciting!
"Teacher Yixia, I didn't expect you to be so talented in screenwriting." Screenwriter Wang gave a thumbs up and praised him, then ran to find Director Chen and asked him to see the newly revised plot.

Director Chen was extremely busy. He was annoyed at first when he heard this, and blamed screenwriter Wang for changing the script even though filming had already started. However, after reading the new plot, he fell silent. This was until he heard screenwriter Wang say that Sheng Yixia was also involved.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and looked up at Sheng Yixia who was waiting not far away.

At this time, Sheng Yixia happened to be looking over here. When her eyes met Director Chen's, she smiled brightly and nodded in greeting.

Damn it!

This kid is so fucking evil.

Director Chen quickly retracted his gaze and said to screenwriter Wang with a serious face, "The revision is okay, but don't change it next time. Please send the revised script to everyone as soon as possible so that they can get familiar with it quickly."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Screenwriter Wang quickly responded, wiped the sweat off his face, and left to get busy.

after that.

When Sheng Yixia went to discuss the plot with screenwriter Wang again, screenwriter Wang refused to talk to him at all. He was afraid that during the conversation, he would feel that what Sheng Yixia said made sense, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder would flare up, and he could not help but revise the script.

After making the changes, I still had to endure criticism from Director Chen, which was really a thankless task.

Although screenwriter Wang is considered to have a high status in the screenwriting industry, his authority on the set is naturally far less than that of Director Chen.

"Teacher Yixia, please let me go." The screenwriter Wang, who is in his forties, wearing glasses and has a slightly bald head, said with a slightly tearful tone, "If you really want to talk, why not talk to Director Chen? I really can't stand it anymore."

Sheng Yixia felt sorry, but he couldn't bear to embarrass him any more. Then, he saw He Yunqiu, who had just finished filming a scene and was about to go back to the RV to rest. His eyes lit up and he went up to him and said, "Brother He, you acted really well in that scene just now. I have a few questions about acting that I want to ask you."

He Yunqiu was stunned at first, but then he remembered what he had promised during the previous greetings, so he patted Sheng Yixia on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go to my RV and talk."

Having said that, he warmly invited Sheng Yixia into his RV.

This is a motorhome that can be driven with a C license. Its length is limited to six meters. The interior space is not large, but the structure is very sophisticated. It is also a private place for rest and meeting guests.

After He Yunqiu handed Sheng Yixia a bottle of ice water, he began to chat with him enthusiastically.

Although his status is much higher than Sheng Yixia's, he also feels that Sheng Yixia has a promising future and is willing to make friends with him and accumulate some connections for himself.

Sheng Yixia also sincerely asked him for advice, sorted out the problems he encountered and explained them one by one.

Although he could learn a lot from Brother Gu, every great actor had his own unique qualities. Sheng Yixia decided to talk to more people and learn something new.

He Yunqiu coped with it easily at first, but as they chatted, he found that the lines in the scene between him and Sheng Yixia seemed not to have a stable footing. The lines looked fancy, but the foundation was not solid and lacked the necessary fulcrum.

He couldn't help but frown deeply, thinking hard for a while, and after exchanging a few words with Sheng Yixia, his mind suddenly became clear, and he slapped his thigh: "Yes, that's the reason, I figured it out. Let's go and discuss it with the screenwriter teacher."

Afterwards, he took Sheng Yixia to find screenwriter Wang, and said excitedly, "Screenwriter, the male lead I play is a former military spy. He is a mature character who has undergone rigorous training and a large number of missions. His every word and every action cannot be superficial and must be linked to his ultimate goal."

Then there was another round of blah blah.

Screenwriter Wang was confused. He looked at the overly excited male lead He Yunqiu, then glanced at Sheng Yixia who looked innocent on the side. He thought to himself that this was not good. Was he going to ask me to change the script again?
"Teacher Wang, please revise this entire paragraph. Yixia and I have discussed it, and we both feel that the lines and actions are not right." He Yunqiu finally said the words that made screenwriter Wang's heart stop.

As an actor who graduated from a film academy, He Yunqiu has a steady personality and is serious about his work. Naturally, he has high expectations for the roles he plays and is very careful about his reputation. When faced with such a problem, there is no way he would just let it go.

If an actor of his level raises questions about the script, the crew will definitely consider it seriously.

Damn it!

Sheng Yixia, this is how you play, right?
Screenwriter Wang was about to cry, but faced with the joint request from the leading male lead and the second male lead, he had to bite the bullet and continue to disturb Director Chen. Then, under the other's dark gaze, he carefully explained the whole cause and effect.

After hearing this, Director Chen's face turned even darker. He looked up at Sheng Yixia and He Yunqiu not far away and found that they were both looking at him eagerly, as if expecting some good result.

In desperation, Director Chen had to wave his hand and said, "I think what they said makes some sense. Go and revise this paragraph, then reprint it and distribute it so that everyone can get familiar with it."

"Okay." Screenwriter Wang left helplessly.

"Wait." Director Chen suddenly stopped him again, and whispered to him as if to guard against thieves, "After you finish the revision, find a place to hide, to avoid Sheng Yixia."

"Uh..." Screenwriter Wang felt that it was a bit outrageous, but it seemed that this was the only way.

He replied, "Okay, Director Chen," and immediately ran off to get busy.

The time soon reached noon.

The crew provided lunch, and everyone got their lunch boxes and found a place to eat.

After Sheng Yixia finished eating and cleaned up, she saw Director Chen half lying on a chair drinking tea and taking a nap after eating, so she came forward, took out a pack of Golden Leaf from her pocket and stuffed it into his hand: "Director Chen, please have a cigarette."

Director Chen was startled. He looked at Sheng Yixia suspiciously and warily and said, "Sheng Yixia, what are you doing?"

"Hehe, I'm a little confused as to why Zhao Xingyao would rob the rich and help the poor." Sheng Yixia unpacked a cigarette and lit it for Director Chen. After watching him start to enjoy the smoke, she moved a small stool and sat next to him. "Director Chen, I think there is always a reason for a character's personality."

"We should dig deeper into Zhao Xingyao's childhood experiences..."

"Stop, stop. You're just the second male lead. There's no need to dig so deep. Besides, this is a commercial web drama, and the main thing is to have fun..." Director Chen hurriedly stopped him from continuing, glanced at the cigarette in his hand, and felt annoyed.

He shouldn't have taken the cigarette.

"Director Chen, how can you be so unrealistic?" Sheng Yixia said in disbelief, "You are only in your forties, in the prime of your life and full of talent. It is the time for you to venture out and achieve success. How can you indulge yourself like this?"

"Even if it's a cool drama, a cool drama with stronger logic and more stable character traits will be more attractive and more likely to become a classic, right?"

"Director Chen, a first-rate director like you with both talent and ability shouldn't be buried in the online movie circle..."

"Shut up." Director Chen was both flattered and uneasy by what he said. He glared at him fiercely and said, "Isn't it okay for me to listen to you?"

"Hehe, this is what I think." After seeing him give in, Sheng Yixia coughed twice, and then began to talk for a while before concluding, "We don't need to change too much, just add a few flashbacks, which can fully show the causes of Zhao Xingyao's personality, and can also serve as the foundation and support point for him to be willing to participate in the male protagonist's plan even though he knows it is very dangerous."

After thinking for a moment, Director Chen had to admit that Sheng Yixia's words made sense.

It's just adding a few scenes, and the rest of the unimportant scenes can be compressed, so there's no big problem overall.

But it can make the character of Zhao Xingyao more full and three-dimensional, and overall the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

"Where is the screenwriter? Teacher Wang..." After Director Chen had an idea, he looked around and shouted loudly.

After a long while, the assistant director brought the sleepy screenwriter Wang to Director Chen.

When Director Chen saw him like this, he immediately became unhappy and said with a straight face: "Teacher Wang, you are with the scriptwriter group now, how come no one can find you at the critical moment?"

Screenwriter Wang was completely dumbfounded.

Didn't you ask me to stay away from Sheng Yixia?
He was just about to explain.

Director Chen waved his hands impatiently: "Sheng Yixia, go and discuss with Teacher Wang how to add these scenes."

Editor Wang’s eyes widened and his head felt like it was buzzing.

Damn it.

Teacher Yixia, you were just making minor adjustments to the play just now, but now you're just adding to it?

Are you such a dramatic boss?
However, now that the director has spoken, what else can he do?
Add it!

Then, after communicating with Sheng Yixia for a while, he began to tap on the keyboard, modifying the script and adding more scenes for Sheng Yixia!
In this way, over the next two or three days, the main creative team of the Thieves began to gradually avoid Sheng Yixia.

You have to hide.

Once he pulls us together to discuss the plot, we will find problems while chatting, and we have to correct them after discovering them.

There were even a few scenes that had already been shot, but Director Chen finally weighed the pros and cons and had to reluctantly delete and reshoot them.

Who can bear this?

“Knock, knock, knock.” Sheng Yixia knocked on the door of He Yunqiu’s RV. “Brother He, is Brother He here?”

"Teacher He is not here. He went out shopping."

He Yunqiu's assistant's cautious and slightly trembling voice came from inside, and the voice sounded a bit weird.

"Okay, then I'll come talk to him about the plot later. Remember to tell him when he comes back."

"Okay, okay." The assistant replied in a low voice.

Time flies and it's already past midnight.

Director Chen finished a day's filming and dragged his tired body back to the hotel near the film and television base. He was going back to his room to take a shower and have a good rest so as to meet tomorrow's challenges in good condition.

But as soon as he got off the car, he saw Sheng Yixia standing at the door of the hotel, waving at him enthusiastically: "Director Chen, I'm here, I'm here."

What the hell!

Director Chen's face froze and he turned and left.

But as an old man, how could he outrun Sheng Yixia, who was young and strong and had a Qinggong card?

Sheng Yixia caught up with him in just a few steps and asked with a smile, "Where are you going, Director Chen?"

Director Chen's face turned pale, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "So it's Yixia. I'm a little hungry, so I'm going to have a midnight snack. By the way, it's getting late, you should go back to bed, as we still have to shoot tomorrow."

"It's okay, I'm young and strong, and I have a lot of energy. I'll treat you to a midnight snack. I just happened to have a problem with a role that I can't figure out, and I want to talk to you, Director Chen."

When Director Chen heard the words "role problem", his heart suddenly panicked, his legs went weak, and he almost stumbled.

Sheng Yixia quickly supported him and asked with concern: "Director Chen, are you okay?"

But in my heart, I felt sad and secretly apologized, "Director Chen, Director Chen, I really want to draw the magician's role card, I really want to improve!"

"I can only make you suffer for a while, Director Chen."
