I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 139 'Coaxing' Princess Sweetie

"Of course, who am I! I'm incredibly intelligent. As long as you, little director, have a little scheme, nothing you do can escape my eyes."

"I'm secretly delighted," Da Tian Tian said to herself.

Seeing that Da Tiantian's mood had brightened, Cheng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Tiantian was still young and could be coaxed back with just a few words.

When he said he would change the player, he was actually just trying to scare Jing Tian.

Filming has been going on for almost three months. If we change actors now, the losses will be huge. If we really offend Da Tiantian, and she makes things difficult for him in the film censorship, Cheng Sheng will definitely be in a terrible situation.

That's why Cheng Sheng immediately came to coax this sweet princess.

Cheng Sheng stayed in Da Tian Tian's nanny van for more than 20 minutes. To make Princess Da Tian Tian happy, Cheng Sheng offered her a big project.

My Love from the Star.

Although he had agreed to let Su Chang play the female lead, Cheng Sheng thought about it and decided that Da Tian Tian was more suitable for the role.

Of course, Cheng Sheng wouldn't treat Su Chang badly since he gave the female lead to Da Tiantian. He had already decided that he would write another TV series and give the female lead to Su Chang.

When Cheng Sheng invited her to film a TV series, Da Tiantian was initially a little dismissive. After all, she debuted in movies, and she wondered if filming a TV series would lower her status.
However, when she heard that this TV series would make her famous all over the world, Jing Tian finally agreed.

Before agreeing to star in the series, Da Tian Tian made Cheng Sheng agree to one condition: if the TV series didn't become a hit, Cheng Sheng had to personally create a movie starring her.

Cheng Sheng immediately agreed. If "My Love from the Star" couldn't make Jing Tian popular, then there would be no truly popular TV series in the world.

In fact, Cheng Sheng had already decided to give the role of the female lead in "My Love from the Star" to Jing Tian, ​​but he hadn't had time to discuss it with her yet.

Now it's perfect, we can use it to coax Da Tian Tian, ​​killing two birds with one stone.

shooting scene.

I rested for half an hour.

The lighting, photography, props, sound recording, and other behind-the-scenes staff are all ready.

The soldiers playing minor roles also stood in their respective positions.

The actors are all back.

Li Heiniu pushed aside Li Lulu, who had come to visit the set, and then quickly walked in front of the camera with a fake weapon.

Now all that's left is for Jing Tian, ​​who plays the female lead Fan Yuan, to be in place.

However, Jing Tian never showed up, and even the director, Cheng Sheng, was not on set.

The unusual nature of the event naturally aroused suspicion and discussion among the people.

People on set secretly split into countless small groups and began discussing the matter.

"Did Princess Sweetie get scolded and leave? And then Director Cheng went after her?"

“Princess Sweetie doesn’t seem like a petty person. She wouldn’t just leave after swearing a few times. I think she was held up by something.”

"That's right! Sweetie is such a nice person, she brings everyone good food every day, so stop making wild guesses."

"Then why is Director Cheng also missing? How do you explain that?"

"What's there to explain? Director Cheng is obviously teaching Da Tian Tian how to act."

"Yeah, it's perfectly normal for directors to give actors extra coaching behind the scenes!"

"Hehe, do you guys think it might be Director Cheng and Da Tian Tian..."

"Damn, bro, don't make jokes like that, it'll kill you! Besides, Director Cheng isn't that kind of person. He's been on set for over three months, have you seen him have any intimate relationships with any of the actresses?"

"That's right. If you dare to slander Director Cheng, I'll report you. Director Cheng isn't like other directors; he wouldn't do anything like sexually harassing actresses."

"Director Cheng is definitely a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry. Last month, when I returned to the hotel, I saw an actress knocking on Director Cheng's door. After Director Cheng opened the door, he refused to let her in. This shows that Director Cheng is a person who values ​​his integrity."

"Is that so? I've never heard of that before. What a pity, he doesn't even take what's offered to him. Does Director Cheng have a thing for men?"

“Get out! Director Cheng isn’t as disgusting as you think. If you’re slandering him, I’ll tell Director Cheng right now and have him kick you out.”

"If you became a director, you'd definitely be a menace to the entertainment industry."

"..." In an instant, rumors spread throughout the set, with all sorts of things being discussed about Cheng Sheng and Da Tian Tian behind their backs.

Cheng Sheng, in particular, was almost mistaken for a gay man because he didn't engage in any sexual harassment with actresses, but fortunately no one believed him.

"Excuse me, I'm back."

Just then, Da Tian Tian's voice rang out.

At the same time, everyone on set suddenly fell silent because Cheng Sheng was following behind Da Tian Tian.

"Sweetie, you can't make a mistake this time."

Cheng Sheng, with a straight face, spoke to Da Tian Tian in front of everyone on set.

"I know, Director Cheng, I will definitely put my heart into acting."

After being coaxed by Cheng Sheng for almost half an hour, Da Tiantian nodded firmly.

"Mencius, have people prepare."

All actors are ready.

The script supervisor taps his finger: "Scene 300 of 'The Yellow Turban Rebellion' begins, three shots."

As the photographer focused his lens on the female lead, Da Tian Tian.

Furthermore, with Cheng Sheng activating the immersive experience, Da Tian Tian's entire demeanor changed drastically, instantly transforming her into a female general charging into battle. She gripped the reins, her legs gripping the horse's flanks, and charged directly at the enemy with her spear raised high.

After a series of shouts of battle, the entire film set transformed into a battlefield.

The two armies clashed, armed with swords, spears, and halberds.

Roar.

Crying to kill.

Smoke of gunpowder!

At this moment, the entire film set truly resembled a battlefield.

Cheng Sheng, the chief director, was no longer behind the scenes at this point. Instead, he was holding a megaphone and directing the cameramen to move around.

To film this war scene, Cheng Sheng arranged for more than a dozen photographers to be on set.

Liu Meng stared intently at the camera screen, looking extremely tense.

If even the slightest mistake is made in a war scene, the entire scene has to be reshot, which is why war scenes are so difficult to film.

Fortunately, Jing Tian didn't make any mistakes this time.

In front of the camera, Da Tiantian swept a spear across the field, knocking a soldier to the ground.

Then, using the horse's strength, he swung his spear and killed the soldiers in front of him.

A war scene that lasted only ten minutes or so was filmed for nearly three hours and still wasn't finished.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Sheng immediately called "cut" and prepared to continue tomorrow.

Upon hearing the word 'cut,' both actors and extras collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat.

Even the most physically fit soldiers were exhausted after three hours of filming.

Da Tiantian plopped down on the dirt, completely disregarding her image, and gasped for breath. She had never felt so tired before.

The assistant quickly stepped forward to massage Da Tian Tian and loosen her muscles to prevent muscle soreness from affecting the filming the next day.

The same applies to the other actors' assistants.

Cheng Sheng also had water brought to everyone. After sweating so much, it would be very bad for their health if they didn't replenish their fluids.

"Director, this is much more tiring than my first film, 'The Cotton Robe'."

Yu Rongguang took the bottled water, took a sip, and smiled at Cheng Sheng.
