I'm almost a Muggle

Many times, a few minutes of scenes in a movie may actually take several days to shoot.

Fortunately, the guest stars are not ordinary people, they can just play their true colors.

The order of filming is based on the location. After all, renting has to be paid by the day. The yacht club rented it for a week.

It was pretty easy to take the photo.

Lin Dong had a little contact with the female lead here. The female lead sneaked into the club, pretended to be his ardent fan, and gave him her contact information.

An Xiaotian was obviously a little nervous.

After all, she was facing someone who had won many awards, had works and status in the entertainment industry, and was able to argue with Star about scripts.

And she is still a student.

"Don't be nervous, just be natural. If necessary, I can play your part for you as a reference." Lin Dong's temper is not bad to begin with, but he may be more tolerant to people with some ability.

.

"No need, I've practiced it many times."

Oh, I'm quite confident.

Lin Dong is now acting and is used to being a "successor" for others. He has acted for both men and women, old and young, in order to improve his skill tree.

"Okay, stop chatting, have a sense of CP, and don't let me down." Zhou Longxing clapped his hands: "Scene 31, scene 25, begin!"

Practicing many times and being able to perform well are two completely different things.

"Cut! Please, An Xiaotian, is this how you practice after practicing so many times?" Zhou Longxing stopped.

Lin Dong almost laughed out loud and tried hard to hold back.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xing, I'll do it again." An Xiaotian was about to cry.

She didn't want to make a fool of herself, especially in front of her fellow senior fellow apprentice. This senior fellow apprentice was too arrogant and seemed to look down on her. She didn't know what she had done wrong.

"It's not a matter of doing it again, Dongzi, are you coming or am I coming?" Zhou Longxing looked at Lin Dong.

"I'll do it, you're an old man." Lin Dong started to act like a nymphomaniac girl without putting on makeup or changing clothes.

"You are so handsome."

When this line comes out of his mouth, it doesn't sound much different from An Xiaotian's.

At least An Xiaotian was unconvinced.

"Okay, that's right!" Zhou Longxing was very sure. He seemed to see that An Xiaotian was still a little unconvinced, so he explained: "Details determine everything. Did you notice that when he said this line, his head

It's slightly raised, and his eyes are that kind of exaggerated admiration. He obviously doesn't have them, but he tries hard to let them appear. If you still can't judge the eyes, you look at his smile, and he smiles like this..."

Finally, Mr. Xing also said something: "Your senior brother will always be your senior brother. You have a good talent. You can learn more from him in the future."

After a few scenes, a certain female academic who had just left school and had only played a few supporting roles was impressed by Lin Dong.

She even had the idea that everything taught in school was a lie.

In fact, what is better about Lin Dong than him is that he was not bound by too many dogmatic things at the beginning - no way, he didn't inherit the memory, so the things he performed were not that ingenious.

Then I filmed a few movies, basically all of which were funded by myself.

As long as he wants to, the entire crew will surround him and help him train, as is the case in "Arrow Stabs the Heart", "Jinyiwei", etc.

In the early stage, Lin Dong didn't have many scenes, and the priority was to film the mermaid scenes, one scene at a time.

It is indeed very hard.

Most of Lin Dong's roles in this drama are literary, and he is basically insulated from Wia.

And An Xiaotian not only had to soak in the cold water, but also flew around with Wia hanging on him for several hours.

In the actor industry, unless you have a backstage, status, and delicate capital, you have to bite the bullet and hold on. Later, Zhou Longxing got into the water himself, and the cold made him uncomfortable, so he decided to spend money to buy equipment. Every day

They all heated the water in the pool.

This is almost like taking a bath in a hot spring. Lin Dong, who has nothing to do, will occasionally take a dip in the pool.

"Dongzi, why don't you try this part?" Zhou Longxing waved to Lin Dong, who was helping Lavia. He had never seen such a down-to-earth male lead. Not only could he be a stand-in, but he could also do rough work like Lavia.

Can do it too.

"Okay, okay." Lin Dong came over immediately.

It’s not that he was asked to be a stand-in, or that he was performing a demonstration, but that Master Xing was tired, so he let Director Lin Dong try this section.

Although he had worked as a director's assistant in "Outsmarting the Mountain Eagle" before, only directors such as director or assistant director, executive director, etc. can do the job, so it was only Star Master who gave him such an opportunity.

Everyone knows how paranoid Zhou Lungxing is about his own movies. Being able to give up the director's rights, even for only a short scene, shows how much he has given Lin Dong face.

"Everyone, get ready, three two one, action!"

This scene is a one-man show for the female lead. According to the script, after eating chicken and having fun with the male lead, the female lead was invited again. Under the guidance of Octopus, she once shouted to kill Liu Xuan.

slogan.

"Kill Liu Xuan, kill Liu Xuan~"

"Hey, you can't do this, little junior sister. The script says that the mermaid is already emotional at this time. She thinks Liu Xuan is not a bad person, so the slogans are very weak and getting weaker and weaker."

"I...I'm not weak enough?" An Xiaotian was confused.

"You can't take this scene too independently, right, Master Xing?" Lin Dong asked Master Xing, who was resting on the recliner behind him.

"right!"

Zhou Longxing nodded, feeling a little sad.

This is another rookie actor and director from the Mainland. He is so good at acting, and he is also so keen and talented as a director.

It would be great if he was from the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang.

The entertainment industry in Hong Kong is really over.

It was once so glorious that it was called the Hollywood of the East. Many actors and directors were famous in Asia and even enjoyed a certain degree of popularity around the world.

But now.

It's still them old people who are supporting us.

They are already old, and all of them are gray-haired. I really don’t know how many more days they can survive.

When they were strong, they never imagined that they would have no successors.

An Xiaotian is obviously not an idiot. She has good grades in school and her acting skills are countless times better than those vases. Otherwise, Zhou Longxing would not have directly chosen her.

Putting this scene into a larger context, you can understand what Lin Dong means.

She didn't want to kill Liu Xuan, but killing Liu Xuan was not because of any personal hatred between her and Liu Xuan, but because of the clan members who were dying one after another. They had to kill Liu Xuan for the survival of the clan.

After several attempts at this kind of entanglement, she quickly interpreted it just right.

When Lin Dong turned around to ask Mr. Xing how the effect was, he found that Mr. Xing had already fallen asleep in the noisy filming location.

"Okay, this one passes." Lin Dong made a gesture, and the whole crew started the next scene.

Zhou Longxing woke up after sleeping for a while. Lin Dong filmed a few scenes. He looked at them again, picked out two and reshot them. He also specifically explained to Lin Dong why these two scenes didn't work.

Actors and directors have different identities and different perspectives of thinking.

This is true preaching, receiving karma and solving doubts.

However, Zhou Longxing's temper was no joke when he went berserk.

There was a scene that Lin Dong felt should not be filmed like this. He felt that Zhou Longxing's kind of comedy would make people feel awkward, but if he used his method, it would be more down-to-earth.

The assistant director is also more supportive of Lin Dong.

But Zhou Longxing refused to accept it and insisted on doing it his own way.

When the argument escalated into a quarrel, Zhou Longxing simply said, "You are the director and I am the director? You know nothing!"

Lin Dong was so angry that he had a stomachache.

He finally understood why this guy was disliked by so many people.

At such an old age, I don’t know how to deal with the world.

An Xiaotian and other actors were stunned. They simply couldn't believe that Lin Dong dared to fight with Zhou Longxing like this on the set.

"Let's do it like this. Let's shoot two versions and then edit them out to see the effect, okay?" Lin Dong didn't want to argue with him like this. If Zhou Longxing doesn't listen to this suggestion, I will definitely have no part in shooting Shushan.

Zhou Longxing took a few breaths and nodded in agreement.

His principle is very simple. If the movie is good for him, he will adopt it. If he thinks the movie is not good for him, no one can do it.

Lin Dong only starred in the film, and also participated in the joint distribution. Even if Lin Dong is a wholly-owned producer, he still insists on what he thinks is right.

Humans are very complex animals.

He can teach Lin Dong everything he has to offer, and he can also scold Lin Dong to the point of being bloody.

Zhou Longxing is from Xiangjiang, where people are known for their speed in making films, and he is no exception.

We started shooting in December, and by mid-February, we were almost done shooting.

Lin Dong does not always stay on the set. He sometimes goes to participate in activities and goes to the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals to listen to the spirit of instructions.

A few days before the Spring Festival Gala, Lin Dong officially asked for leave from the crew.

He's going to perform magic at the Spring Festival Gala...oh no, it's magic.

A new life is about to begin.

In addition, he has to go home to pick up his parents.
