In fact, there are two positions where the most unspoken relationships occur on the crew, one is between investors and actors, and the other is between assistant directors and actors.

Of these two positions, one is for choosing the protagonist, but the other is for supporting roles!

Especially actors and assistant directors.

The extras on the crew include special actors, including cast members and some small role actors who play dozens of scenes. They are all found by the assistant director!

No matter how energetic a director is, he cannot possibly cover everything!

"The Band of Thieves" requires thousands of extras for both large and small scenes. It would have been impossible for Shen Changlin and Lincoln to audition for every one of them...

Leave it to the assistant director!

As for who to use and who not to use, it is basically the assistant director who has the final say - if he makes a recommendation, there is no big problem and the director will basically agree.

Some people think that directors make unspoken rules for actors when selecting roles, but in fact, this is not possible under normal circumstances.

You see, in normal productions, the protagonists are usually well-known actors or actors who have had similar roles. In this case, there is no need to choose at all. The producer directly contacts the actor's agency or agent, which is rarely the case. What’s the casting situation like…

On the contrary, it was the assistant director who had the opportunity to be the groom every night!

Of course, everything has two sides. Actors and assistant directors enjoy rights during casting, but if they don’t go well during filming, they will really be scolded!

Not only the director will scold, but also the producer, lighting staff, including the photographer...

Whoever you choose is a waste of money!

There is even a possibility of being directly clinging to the asshole...

Therefore, in most cases, if there is a special contract with scenes or lines, the assistant director does not dare to go too far.

It's related to your own job.

The car model Xu Muyang selected still had a solid foundation in acting. Otherwise, given his courage, he would not have dared to affect the filming for his own selfish desires!

The third shoot…

The effect is okay. This kind of film does not have particularly strict requirements for actors. Shen Changlin does not need difficult long shots. After thinking about it, he directly gave it to...

Then we shot the second scene, which also took place in a bar.

…

Liang Jiahui was a little surprised...

He has filmed many movies in the Mainland, and even has a main theme movie!

The professionalism is not comparable to that of "The Thieves", and of course the scale is also different...

Let's compare it to "Tai Chi", which was about the same scale and was only filmed last year. To be honest, Feng Delun's crew is still professional, but because of his lack of prestige, many department leaders ignored him, resulting in constant friction...

Therefore, Chen Guofu needs to be in charge!

"The Thieves" has a creative team of hundreds of people.

Of course, there was some confusion at the beginning, and I didn’t know who was responsible, but in just three days, the crew completed the adjustment...

Advance in an orderly manner.

The efficiency of the crew begins to show...

All this must be attributed to director Shen Changlin...

Liang Jiahui began to feel that Shen Changlin was not as simple as he seemed...

Kindness and friendliness may just look...

Shen Changlin didn't know what Liang Jiahui was thinking. He... was a little dissatisfied with the current efficiency - "The Thieves" requires a lot of shots, and this movie is edited very quickly, making people dizzy...

So, ideally, at least forty shots a day!

There are many new people in the props team, and there are many scenes that require him to remind and rearrange...

This made him a little annoyed. During lunch time, Shen Changlin was communicating with the props department, mainly blaming...

"I don't allow three mistakes..."

After giving a warning, he returned to the lounge, and then Deng Chao came over and said embarrassedly: "Director, I will leave for two days..."

"Well, go ahead, don't play too crazy... By the way, take care of Naza!!"

"no problem!"

Deng Chao made a salute gesture, turned around and left...

Xu Zheng asked curiously: "Where is he going?"

"Oh, he has to record a program. The reality show "Running Man" created by our company will be broadcast on July 6th... He has to record the fourth episode... Nazha happens to be the guest of the fourth episode!"

Xu Zheng was surprised: "...Ah? Doesn't that mean I have to ask for leave all the time?"

Shen Changlin waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just a reality show, and it won't delay things. Anyway, his scenes can be shot separately. I thought about it when I selected him!"

After a pause, he added: "The broadcast of "Running Man" will definitely be a phenomenal variety show. Deng Chao's popularity will rise to a higher level, which is also a good thing for the movie!"

Xu Zheng was very curious: "Can variety shows also feed back movies?"

"This thing is different from "Happy Camp"... Let me see, today is the 5th, and tomorrow will be the 6th. You will know then!"

"Really?"

"Why did I lie to you... Maybe after "Running Man" is aired, Deng Chao's label will become Running Man Deng Chao!"

"...Wouldn't that have an impact on the actor's career?"

"...There are so many good things that have the best of both worlds...Old Xu, what do you think of our crew?"

Xu Zheng quickly replied: "...Very professional. Who is the leader of that lighting team? He is so awesome..."

"What are you doing? You like my people and want to poach them?"

"...No," Xu Zheng explained: "It's just rare to see such a professional lighting engineer..."

"His name is Yang Yufan, and he has been with me for three movies. He was the only one who directed the movie "Xiu Chun Knife" for me. He is really professional..." After thinking about it, Shen Changlin added: "He is quite expensive!"

"...I'll just say it casually."

"I don't know you yet!"

…

Deng Chao's confidence in "Running Man" is not as strong as Shen Changlin's...

In fact, he had hesitated whether to accept it or not. If Shen Changlin hadn't planned it, he would have refused directly!

Shen Changlin is really his great benefactor...

Let's just say that when the filming of "Xiu Chun Knife" just started, his situation was actually very dangerous.

Huang Xiaoming dominated the first brother, Huayi signed Lu Yi that year...

Chen Kun has "Painted Skin", and Tong Dawei also has good relationships with many directors...

Let's put it this way, he has never been among the four quotas for junior and senior students!

It's easy to lose coffee...

At this time, Shen Changlin asked him to star in "Xiu Chun Knife". The key to this film was its reputation and ticket sales!

The sequel also doesn’t stretch the crotch, and is even considered by many to be more solid than the first one...

With the "Xiu Chun Knife" series, he completely opened up his film career. "Search" made him nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor...

He really had no way to refuse Shen Changlin...

Of course, the 12 million remuneration is also a factor.

I was still a little reluctant to record "Running Man", but after recording one episode, I felt pretty good. He himself is a crazy person, and "Running Man" recorded various games, which gave him room to express himself.

After three episodes, he completely fell in love with this reality show!

Therefore, when I received the appointment for "The Band of Thieves", I specifically asked Shen Changlin if he could take a leave of absence. Shen Changlin had no objection...

Although the recording of "Running Man" will delay the filming of "The Thief", to be honest, Deng Chao's role in "The Thief" is very simple. He is a street magician and a poker expert. What kind of acting skills does this thing require?

It doesn't matter...

Although he doesn't like actors who interfere with their roles, he hates them even more when they fail to fulfill their roles!

The fourth episode was recorded at Xiangshan Film and Television City. The theme is martial arts, and the guests are Liu Qianqian and Na Zha...
Chapter completed!
