The entire crew, whether they are actors or behind-the-scenes staff, it can be said that most of them are fans of Wang Cheng!
after all…
We have all studied Chinese culture since childhood, and have recited many ancient poems and prose passed down from generation to generation!
Therefore, no one can ignore the ancient poems and several articles written by Wang Cheng that are masterpieces throughout the ages. No one can ignore the beauty of the words in them!
So, it is normal for most people to become fans of Wang Cheng.
Even if a small number of people are not fans of Wang Cheng, they definitely approve of Wang Cheng.
Everyone on the crew was looking forward to Wang Cheng appearing on the crew for the first time to say a few words to them.
However, they did not expect that the first thing Wang Cheng said when he came over was this...
Go to work at nine in the morning and get off at eight in the afternoon?
Don’t work overtime?
this…
Although most of them are new actors, they are not pure newcomers. They are also newcomers who have been in several drama groups. Who has experienced such a working family?
An Keru, who was following Wang Cheng, had her eyes twitching. She wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. Reason told her that such a crew might be difficult to manage, and there might be a lot of singing during the filming time!
Deputy director Su Hailong said next to Wang Cheng: "Director Wang, just go to and from get off work on time. I can lead everyone to work more hours, so that we can shoot better!"
Su Hailong is really trying his best and is mentally prepared for Wang Cheng to be the boss and him to be the real director!
However, Wang Cheng promised such working hours as soon as he came up. How could he manage it?
What should I do if everyone doesn’t listen when I ask everyone to work overtime for filming?
Wang Cheng said calmly: "You don't need so much shooting time. Just follow my shooting plan. Have you read my shooting plan?"
Su Hailong: "After watching it, I think the filmed material is a bit short? What should I do if there is not enough for editing?"
Wang Cheng shook his head: "That's enough!"
Wang Cheng almost copied the movie plot scenes from his memory, and added some of his own Chinese understanding and style to the script and storyboards.
So, there are almost no redundant shots, just shoot them and add special effects in post-production, and then with a little editing and arrangement, the film will be ready!
In Su Hailong's view, this is simply child's play.
Therefore, Su Hailong is also preparing more sub-shots and shooting more vegetarian dishes, which can be selected during editing.
“Director Wang, is this too risky? If you don’t have time, I can help you draw some shots, and I’ll just work overtime to shoot.”
Su Hailong really wants to succeed.
Wang Cheng still shook his head: "No need! Just shoot according to my plan. Can it be done? If not, just replace it!"
Su Hailong was speechless immediately, and his face looked a little ugly.
He has many years of experience, and has never been said like this before, even when working with top directors.
Moreover, it was in front of so many people.
Su Hailong really wanted to leave on the spot.
However, his reason still prevented him from speaking, and he fell silent, choosing not to confront Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng did not continue to explain anything to Su Hailong. He looked at the self-designed clothes worn by the actors, frowned slightly, waved and said, "Come here!"
Jiang Feng, Li Bolei, and Sun Wei all walked over with some anxiety.
Jiang Feng and Li Bolei are the villains, and Sun Wei plays Murphy. The three of them are all wearing dark tunic suits. Murphy is also wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses on his face.
Wang Cheng looked at the three of them and said seriously: "Your expressions should be colder. Don't show any expression! Just like robots."
The three of them were stunned for a moment. They read the script settings of their characters. They haven't fully understood it yet and are still trying to figure it out, but they know that this drama may not be a bad movie.
After listening to Wang Cheng's words, the three of them began to change from the inside, and their faces gradually became cold and ruthless!
Wang Cheng continued to look at the three of them: "Not enough!"
The three of them took a deep breath and continued to adjust their expressions and eyes.
Wang Cheng continued expressionlessly: "It's not enough!"
Everyone around him watched this scene quietly. Su Hailong, who was a little embarrassed and annoyed just now, also relaxed a little.
Wang Cheng did not target anyone...
Many actors and behind-the-scenes staff who had come to Wang Cheng before looked at such a stern and cold-hearted Wang Cheng, and their expressions quickly became serious, and they did not dare to show their anger, for fear of being called out for military training by Wang Cheng.
Although, Wang Cheng is only a 19-year-old new director.
However, no one dared to show off in front of Wang Cheng!
The three actors did not dare to refute Wang Cheng, but continued to explore their potential and perform according to Wang Cheng's requirements.
It lasted for a full half hour!
Jiang Feng, Li Bolei, and Sun Wei barely met Wang Cheng's requirements.
Next, today’s shooting officially started!
Many people were in the mood to watch a show before, wanting to see if Wang Cheng would make a mess as the director, but Wang Cheng shocked everyone at the beginning, and then after the filming officially started, he began to direct the entire crew in an orderly manner. Every behind-the-scenes department and what each actor needs to do are all well-organized.
It seems that this is not a nineteen-year-old boy, but a top director with decades of independent directing experience.
Su Hailong, who previously thought he would become an actual director, now knew that he was overthinking it.
He is still an errand boy and handyman, making various arrangements according to Wang Cheng's naming and requirements...
but!
Just one morning.
The entire crew is convinced of Wang Cheng.
Su Hailong, the three actors, have long since lost any complaints in their hearts. At this time, they just want to film well!
because…
They found that if they continued filming according to Wang Cheng's request, it might not be a bad movie, but a science fiction blockbuster that would surprise everyone.
An Keru has worked with many great directors, so she has the deepest impression. She feels that Wang Cheng’s scheduling of the crew and shooting process surpassed all the great directors she has worked with.
This is the most incredible…
At one o'clock at noon.
Qin Moding’s lunch box was delivered to the crew on time, and everyone ate together with Wang Cheng.
After dinner, Wang Cheng said seriously: "It's time to go to work from lunch break to four o'clock, and until get off work at eight o'clock in the afternoon. This will be the working time from now on!"
After saying that, Wang Cheng went to the lounge prepared for him next door to take a nap.
No matter what the job is…
Wang Cheng’s work and rest schedule will not change in any way.
The entire crew watched Wang Cheng finish his meal and go to take a lunch break. Everyone continued to eat quietly and watched Wang Cheng leave without daring to speak!
It wasn’t until Wang Cheng left that the sound gradually appeared.
“That’s awesome, it’s really Wang Cheng. I’ve heard for a long time that Wang Cheng’s work and rest schedule is very strict and weird! Now I know why.”
"The most awesome thing is that Wang Cheng also gave us all the same working hours. This is simply a benefit! Although Wang Cheng is a bit stricter and colder, and he didn't shoot a few scenes all morning, the working hours are fixed, and I I really want to stay with this crew for the rest of my life.”
"That's it, look at those actors, how dare they rest. Wang Cheng was not satisfied with their performances all morning! Although Wang Cheng didn't curse anyone, he just asked them to repeat it over and over again, but I stood far away You can feel the pressure everywhere!”
“Indeed, Wang Cheng’s requirements are really strict!”
“The key point is that when Wang Cheng performs, no one has anything to say. His acting skills are sought after by all acting schools. He is really speechless!”
“By the way, do you understand what this movie is about?”
“I don’t understand it, but it’s good enough.”
…
Wang Cheng went to rest. but!
Su Hailong and An Keru, as well as Sun Wei, Jiang Feng, Li Bolei, Zhang Hanwen and others did not dare to take a rest. After dinner, they all got together to study the script and performance and learn from each other!
However, everyone still gossiped a little bit.
“Hanwen, how did you and Wang Cheng become friends?”
“Haha, we just met each other early, practiced together, and debuted together, and we became friends.”
“Is Wang Cheng always so cold?”
“He has indeed always been relatively withdrawn, but he is very nice. Stop talking and study the script again. The setting of this script is very grand.”
“Yes, I studied the script and background carefully, and I was really surprised. It is definitely a genius idea.”
"Human beings are ruled by robots. Human beings resisted by launching weapons and created dark clouds covering the entire atmosphere, preventing robots from using solar energy to generate electricity. However, robots made human beings into biological batteries. Everyone is a battery, living in an illusory computer world. It’s scary and despairing to think about.”
“By the way, our reality is not really like this, right? Who can prove that the world we live in is real? Air, smell, and emotions are all neural signals that computers can simulate!”
“I don’t know, we can just live stupidly and don’t think so much!”
Everyone discussed it for a while, and then each figured out his own role in private.
Everyone doesn’t want to be told by Wang Cheng over and over again: “Come again!”
…
The shooting continues in the afternoon!
It was a little smoother than in the morning.
Several main actors gradually got into the role and began to truly understand the script and characters.
Wang Cheng wants this kind of feeling. If every actor is involved in the scene, the subsequent filming will go smoothly.
That’s why he asked the actors to perform unsatisfactory scenes over and over again.
Wang Cheng did not break his promise and got off work on time at eight o'clock. He also did not ask others to work overtime and they all got off work on time.
However, after Wang Cheng left, everyone did not really get off work and continued to figure out more about the characters.
Su Hailong summoned the behind-the-scenes staff to make plans for tomorrow’s shooting to ensure that tomorrow’s shooting goes smoothly…
Since Wang Cheng's working hours are so fixed, Su Hailong can only make complete preparations during non-working hours to ensure that Wang Cheng can shoot smoothly within the limited working hours.
…
While Wang Cheng was filming the movie in an orderly manner.
The outside world's attention to Wang Cheng has gradually declined...
Although, the popularity is still very high, and it still dominates the top few for the time being, but as time goes by, the number of discussions has also declined visibly.
This is a fast-paced society after all, and there are a lot of new things happening every day.
Wang Cheng has not been seen since filming the movie, and has been missing from his social accounts for ten thousand years. Coupled with Rubik's Cube Entertainment's cold treatment of Wang Cheng, naturally there is no hot spot!
However, Wang Cheng’s masterpieces are still attracting a lot of attention steadily. Many people discuss these works every day and analyze them word for word over and over again. No amount of analysis is enough!
Many other celebrities, as well as movies and TV series, etc., took the opportunity to start spending resources on publicity. After being dominated by Wang Cheng for so long, they finally found an opportunity!
Even Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui don't pay much attention to Wang Cheng anymore. They let Wang Cheng fend for himself in Qin Mo's crew. They just need to wait until the time comes to take Wang Cheng away.
but…
Qin Yuhai said he would start preliminarily promoting Wang Cheng's movie, and it has indeed begun.
The name of the movie The Matrix has also begun to enter the public eye.
“The Matrix, a science fiction masterpiece starring, directed and written by Wang Cheng, is leading the domestic science fiction storm.”
“Wang Cheng and An Keru co-starring, what do you imagine a Chinese science fiction blockbuster to be like?”
“A nineteen-year-old director, screenwriter, and starring actor, are you looking forward to it?”
“Wang Cheng’s first film, Spring Festival, see you there or not!”
…
Shen Shenghui knocked on the door of Qin Yuhai's office. After getting Qin Yuhai's answer, he opened the door and walked in. He saw Qin Yuhai studying Rubik's Cube Entertainment's financial report for this year and smiled: "Mr. Qin, our revenue and profit this year, as well as our stock price This has set a new record! Now you can even say that we are the number one entertainment group."
Qin Yuhai nodded, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, but he still said calmly: "This is all brought to us by Wang Cheng. The acquisition of Dongxing Entertainment was really the right move."
Shen Shenghui smiled and said, "It's all Mr. Qin who is wise."
Qin Yuhai also smiled proudly. Rubik's Cube Entertainment's plan to acquire Dongxing Entertainment has been the most successful acquisition in the entire entertainment industry, and even in the domestic business circle.
The benefits that Qin Yuhai received from this were at least calculated in tens of billions. The cash income brought by Wang Cheng alone is close to tens of billions, not to mention the other celebrities and artists packaged by Dongxing Entertainment, and the skyrocketing stock prices...
At this time, Qin Yuhai was definitely the winner in life that everyone envied.
but…
Hidden dangers have also been laid long ago.
That is, relying too much on Wang Cheng alone.
If Wang Cheng leaves when his contract expires, he will fall into the mortal world by then.
Qin Yuhai calmed down and asked, "How is Wang Cheng doing on the set?"
Shen Shenghui came over to report on Wang Cheng's situation, and immediately said: "It's been half a month since the filming started. Wang Cheng is still the same, getting off work on time every day, and the commuting time set for the crew is the same. There are not many shots, and the special effects shots seem to be the same. We are simultaneously producing!”
"Judging from the arrangement, Wang Cheng doesn't look like a new director. However, according to the information I know, the movie he made is a bit difficult to understand. Even if it is not a bad movie by then, it won't be too popular!"
Qin Yuhai frowned slightly: "He really knows how to make movies?"
Shen Shenghui nodded affirmatively: "I took the time to watch it for a long time. He really knows how to make movies. His acting skills are top-notch, so this movie is most likely not a bad movie!"
Qin Yuhai was speechless. He really didn't expect that Wang Cheng could actually direct. He immediately asked: "Is it too late to modify the contract now?"
Shen Shenghui shook his head slightly.
He knows that Wang Cheng does not have the salary for this movie. The entire movie is given to Wang Cheng, and the profits and copyrights of the movie belong to Wang Cheng!
Because they all thought before that Wang Cheng and Qin Mo couldn't shoot anything. If they took the footage and edited it casually and released it, they would definitely be a hit, even if they could rely on Wang Cheng's popularity and fans. I'll make some money at the box office, but it's definitely not much. Hundreds of millions is a big deal, so it doesn't matter if I give it to Wang Cheng.
But…
Now it seems that this movie is most likely not a bad movie!
Coupled with Wang Cheng's own popularity, the box office may be really surprising!
The box office revenue may far exceed hundreds of millions!
Of course Qin Yuhai felt distressed.
Shen Shenghui looked at Qin Yuhai's distressed eyes and whispered: "Mr. Qin, even if it's not a bad movie, I still don't believe that Wang Cheng can make any good science fiction movies. Most people don't dare touch this subject!"
Qin Yuhai was in a slightly better mood: "Okay, keep staring!"
Shen Shenghui nodded, did not dare to stay longer, turned around and left.
time flies!
The headlines on several major social platforms are no longer Wang Cheng.
Even Wang Cheng’s popularity has been squeezed out of the top three.
Many blockbusters and TV series released at the end of the year are receiving overwhelming publicity and are grabbing headlines!
Wang Cheng seemed to be missing.
