Song Qian hung up the phone in a good voice. Hearing the little Lolita's shout, the joy on his face froze. He walked softly in front of Jin Sailun, took out a work permit from his belt and stated feebly: "Little thing, IĄŻm not a handyman, IĄŻm an assistant, the directorĄŻs assistant, did you see that?Ą±
The little Loli squinted her big eyes and smiled coquettishly at the corner of her delicate mouth: "The assistant also works as a handyman!"
This is Song Qian's first time working in film shooting, so Wu Ni will naturally not let him do anything. In addition to following Wu Ni to learn the general shooting work, the rest of the time is usually pouring water, playing with props, and moving things around. Equipment (of course something like a camera lens cover), etc., you can't let him, a guy who knows nothing about cameras, shoot it, right?
"What did Aunt Wu Ni ask me to do?" Song Qian stopped paying attention to her and asked, changing the subject.
"I don't know. It seems like there's something about adding more drama. I have to call Yaxing Ouni." Little Loli waved her little arm, pushed Song Qian aside, and swayed towards the yard with her two short legs. The elegant star inside jumps away.
Song Qian bared his teeth and claws at the little Loli's back, thinking that one day he would push her down, pinch her cheeks, and spank her.
Walking into the room, the staff were all resting. Wu Ni was lying on a recliner, frowning and squinting in sleep. Song Qian walked up to her and asked doubtfully: "Aunt Wu Ni, are you looking for me? "
Wu Ni opened her eyes and looked at Song Qian with her face on her hand. She tapped the table with the fingers of her other hand. After thinking for a while, she said: "We discussed with Senior Li last night that it is necessary to add one more character to this play. "
"Oh, let's add one more character" Just as we were about to finish the movie, another character was suddenly added. Doesn't this mean we have to stay here for a while longer? No! I want to go back to Seoul, and I want to play with my sister Qian. It would be better to go to school than to stay in this place where there are no birds shitting, and there are not many people!
Wait, Song Qian came to his senses and asked with an even more confused look: "Aunt Wu Ni, just add a character. What do you want me to do?"
Looking at the current Song Qian, Wu Ni became more and more interesting. She couldn't help but smile: "You have a pretty good image. I saw you playing with the camera before, and it was quite photogenic."
At this moment, Song Qian saw a hint of uneasiness and kindness in Director Wu NiĄŻs eyes. After thinking about it for a moment, Song Qian couldnĄŻt help but suddenly realized: "You mean, let me play this temporarily added character?"
Wu Ni smiled and nodded.
"Really?" Song Qian's eyes lit up. During this period of time, he had close contact with film shooting. Occasionally, he would have some situations like what he would be like if he were acting. Unfortunately, the male characters who appeared in the whole movie There will never be more than ten characters. One of them is the director of the orphanage, a few foreigners, and Seol Kyung-gu, who plays the protagonist Kim Sae-ron's father, and the others are children, aunts, and a few others. nun.
And since he knew that Han Caiying was an actor, he had a great interest in this profession.
Wu Ni waved her hand, pointed to the dressing room and said: "I have already agreed with the makeup artist. You go and change your clothes. After you are done, let me see the effect. As for letting you act, I should find another actor. ItĄŻs up to you.Ą±
Song Qian nodded vigorously in surprise, then hurriedly turned towards the dressing room.
Lee Cang-dong is a very rigorous director. As a consultant for Wu Ni's film "A Brand New Life" ("Traveler"), he paid attention to every detail of the film, such as the shape of the protagonist Kim Sae-ron's mushroom head. Hair style, plaid thick cloth knee-length plaid skirt, and the costume Song Qian changed was the common fashion in Korea in the 1970s - a shiny white shirt and jeans. This fashion is still in use today, and there are probably still some people. Wear it, it just looks a little more rustic.
The fashion is pretty good, but Song Qian couldn't help but complain about this hairstyle - watermelon head. Was it possible that plant hairstyles were popular in Korea at that time? Women all have mushroom hair, but men want watermelon haircuts?
When the makeup artist combed his hair, Song Qian couldn't help laughing when he looked at himself in the mirror for the first time. After laughing, a string of black lines appeared on his brows, watermelon head! Watermelon head!
After getting dressed, Wu Ni and Gao Yaxing were talking about the newly added scenes. When they saw Song Qian coming out, fiddling with his shirt, they all looked over. It has to be said that in the 21st century, the hairstyle of watermelon hair is very popular. The impact was so powerful that Wu Ni, who had always been elegant, couldn't help but laugh and coughed, while high school student Gao Yaxing was already laughing so hard.
"Oppa, your hair is so cute."
??Actually, there is nothing wrong with a watermelon head. Although it is a bit different, there are precedents. For example, Kwon Sang-woo also wore a watermelon on his head when filming "Youth Comics".(More recently, Jang Keun Suk in "Love Rain"), he doesn't look so cute, but Song Qian's face is very handsome, and with a watermelon head, the name of Watermelon Kotaro can be stuck on his head On.
Protest! Protest decisively! Song Qian returned to the dressing room resolutely and used a comb to comb his hair back to its original shape. The makeup artist who was cleaning up the dressing table smiled bitterly and did not stop Song Qian from destroying the work he had just made. He almost burst out laughing.
When she came out again, Wu Ni had already controlled her expression and stared at Song Qian with interest. After a long time, she nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Really? Is it okay if I don't need Watermelon Head?" Song Qian breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that without Watermelon Head, his chances of starring would be gone.
"It doesn't matter." Wu Ni nodded and replied.
"That's great!" Song Qian was really happy at this time, standing there and giggling.
Time passed by and it came to a week later.
"Common boy, the director called for cut!" After finishing a set of shots, the little Loli hurriedly shouted to the retreating figure.
Song Qian, who was in the distance, hurriedly walked back, walked to Wu Ni and took a look at the picture in the camera, and asked excitedly: "How was it? Have you passed?"
"Not bad." Wu Ni praised after watching the clip she just shot.
"Really? I think it's pretty good too, especially the conversation with Sai Lun, that expression, that tone, hey, I even doubt whether I'm a born actor?" Song Qian was a typical complimenter. He raised his head to the sky and boasted a few words. His interest showed no signs of declining, so he put on a conscientious expression and said, "Director, do you want to add a few more shots? Make this part more perfect."
??Wuni shrugged. After getting along with him for almost a month, she was used to Song Qian's virtues. She turned off the monitor and looked at her watch. She took a breath and shouted to the staff: "It's over, let's eat."
"Eat? Yes, I'm not really hungry even if I don't mention it, but I feel hungry when I mention it." Song Qian followed Wu Ni to the lunch box with great interest. After just a few steps, he was still immersed in the "Born Actor" Song Qian, who felt good about himself, asked again: "Director, when do you think my next scene will start filming?"
Today's scene is Song Qian's third scene. The first two scenes were shot for an average of five minutes. The whole scene was shot of Song Qian pushing the bicycle away (the balance is infinitely close to zero. The cute host can't ride it, so I just shot it. I can push it), todayĄŻs show was good, with three lines, and interaction with the lead actor Kim Sae-ron, although his opposite role was Gao Yaxing.
"No need, your role has been completed. You can continue to be my assistant. Director Li asked you to learn, not to be an actor." With that said, the two of them walked into the house and went to the place where the crew received their lunch boxes. Wu Ni took her portion of the box lunch and walked to the director's table to eat silently.
Song Qian took a lunch box and walked to Wu Ni and asked again: "You mean my role is over like this?"
"What else?" Wu Ni took an egg from her lunch box and sent it to Song Qian's lunch box: "You performed well, and I will reward you with an egg. By the way, you won't ask me for my salary, right? This movie The filmĄŻs budget was very small.Ą±
"Of course I won't accept it." Song Qian looked at the eggs in the lunch box and was confused. After reacting, he immediately begged wailing: "Director, please give me more scenes!"
Wu Ni waved her hand and continued eating.
In fact, the scene that Wu Ni and Li Changdong discussed was not to add another character, but to make the role of the lame older orphan played by Gao Yaxing more fleshed out, so that the protagonist Jin Hee could rebel and understand the outcome of not being adopted, thus changing her inner life. Resistance to the idea of ??adoption.
The character played by Song Qian, who doesn't even have a name, is just a prominent point, but Gao Yaxing is not the protagonist, so even if the character needs to be fleshed out, he can't spend too much time on shaping it, so that Song Qian will not be able to watch it from beginning to end. , there are only three scenes, and it is estimated that after editing, the entire film has one minute of appearance. In other words, Song Qian is actually a complete walk-on. Otherwise, how could Wu Ni make Song Qian, who is so new, so new? A newcomer is here to star
No matter how much Song Qian begged, Wu Ni laughed it off and continued busy with the rest of the scene.
Although Song Qian has not yet fully enjoyed the addiction of being an actor, the filming of the movie is still going on. Song Qian returned from a walk-on to the director's assistant. Because he was a little resentful about his first time as an actor, Song Qian began to take it very seriously. Next to Wu Ni, he was busy learning some relatively basic aspects of film shooting. Although it is superficial, the movie "Traveler" is indeed the inspiration for Song Qian to become a director in the future.Material
Another week, "Traveler" was completed. Because the last set of shots was shot at Incheon Airport, after the work was completed, everyone happily returned to Seoul for a cheerful finals banquet.
