There were three directors of different styles in the crew at the same time. It was said that there would be some contradictions. However, in the crew of “Mountain Behind the Mountain”, this problem did not exist at all. Chen Aiming now held director Zhu Xufang as an idol. So, he usually followed Zhu Xufang behind him and listened to him very seriously.
Don’t mention opinions, sometimes even Lin Meng was sceptical when she looked at them. Even if Zhu Xufang suddenly wanted to have a full martial arts in this modern drama, they would nod that the director was right.
“Director Zhu, see if there’s anything that needs to be adjusted in this set.” Lin Meng is holding the tablet in one hand, and the other was using a capacitive pen to indicate the surroundings.
In the drama “Mountain Behind the Mountain”, the core scene that appeared was the home of several starring actors.
The three houses of the three families were all visited by Lin Meng with the props group, which were carefully arranged after selection.
In doing things, she had her own “obsessive-compulsive disorder” and must do her best within her ability.
The nearby props and field services were already laying out equipment. The house directly opposite this floor had also been rented by the crew as a space for storing props and actors’ dressing. Before the crew shot outdoor scenes, Lin Meng would send the adjusted room photos to Director Zhu for real-time confirmation. Out of the trust in Lin Meng, Zhu Xufang had also visited for the first time today.
“You give us an introduction.” Zhu Xufang smiled and walked forward with his hands behind him. In fact, he didn’t need to listen to the introduction, he was just satisfied with Lin Meng’s choice.
But… that was not his old fellow, was there any other plan? Zhu Xufang’s eyes glanced at the two young classmates behind him.
Lin Meng walked ahead: “The male owner’s home has a family of four who have lived there for a long time. Both husband and wife have highly paid occupations, one is a programmer and the other is a doctor, so I arranged for them a four-bedroom, two-living room house with a total of 200 square meters. One of them was reserved as a study”, she opened the door of the study smoothly, “On the bookcase next to it, I asked the person to prepare some obstetrics and gynaecology books recommended by the deputy chief physician of the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, and there was a small space for children’s books.”
Zhu Xufang approached and confirmed the lower bookcase. The books inside were both new and old. Outside the full book, a certificate of merit was placed horizontally. It was for being a good student from a young age. When he opened the lower cabinet, there were some doctor certificates. The mother’s certificates as well, he nodded with satisfaction, which was similar to what he had imagined. In this family, the child was the treasure of the whole family, even if the certificate contained less gold than the mother, it would be placed in the most prominent place to show off.
“Dong Jianqiang’s nature of work has led him to work overtime in the unit most of the time, and he is basically resting when he returns home, so I did not leave much of his traces in the study.”
She then went out and introduced all the arrangements in this house, including the big red embroidered quilt brought from her home in the mother-in-law’s room, the knitting sweater tools on the table next to it; the cabinet filled with shoes… Every piece of decoration was sophisticated.
Chen Aiming nodded straight behind him. He had made a lot of movies and worked with a lot of staff. It really could be meticulous, but in many cases, it was him as a director who was jumping around. If he felt that the scenery was not good, and the location was not good, he would have to change the place.
He felt that Lin Meng might be more detailed than some actors in understanding the script, so that she could perfectly define the character settings and do a good job of supporting.
“Director, what are you looking at?” Wang Fangyi came over with black-rimmed glasses. He just changed his clothes. He was wearing a checked shirt from a brand, a t-shirt inside, and pants. Not counting close-fitting jeans, a black belt was tied around the waist.
“I’m looking at your house.” Zhu Xufang and the actors didn’t have any estrangement, so he reached out and shot Wang Fangyi twice.
Wang Fangyi had a good personality. When he heard these words, he sat directly on the sofa: “The visitor is a guest. Don’t be kind to me, just sit down and rest.”
Lin Meng only allowed her makeup artist to slightly correct his complexion, and then treat the eye area a little.
Wang Fangyi himself was well-maintained, dressed young, looked no different from a young man in his early thirties, and worked mostly indoors as a star. He attached great importance to sun protection, so his skin tone was also white.
The makeup artist adjusted Wang Fengyi’s yellowish, non-grey foundation on the advice of Lin Meng, and neutralized the complexion on Wang Fangyi’s face. He also adjusted the muscle direction to droop with shadow powder, and made dark circles and tiredness around the eyes.
As soon as he put on the makeup, he usually looked tired from overtime.
Wang Fangyi looked at Lin Meng with both hands: “Ms. Lin, look at the makeup you arranged for me, I was scared when I saw it.” He shook his head. “If I was unemployed in the middle age, it would be like this.”
The crowd laughed a while, and Chen Aiming at the back added a small copy to his heart.
The quality that Lin Meng admired most about him was that it had aesthetics, or that quality aesthetics.
One must know that the aesthetics and cognition between people were different from heaven and earth. In the process of directing the drama, Chen Aiming often encountered the scene where he communicated for a long time and the other party hesitated.
The most terrible thing was not that he didn’t understand it, it was that he understood it, and did exactly what he was told to do, but when they finally came out to see, the effect was so ugly that you just wanted to dig out your eyes.
Everyone had a good aspect. What clothing and makeup Chen Aiming was in was a clue that he often made mistakes, and only understood vaguely: “The eyes must be bright, and the clothes must be young and **** …” Well, generally the result of this request is that the eyes with eyeliner look like a rebellious **** the roadside.
The more he looked, the more jealous Chen Aiming felt.
This sour taste seems to be directed at Director Zhu for the first time, envying him that he could cooperate with a producer who gave him no worries, was online aesthetically, and perfectly converted ideas into reality.
“Well, for lunch at noon, I asked the field service to send the menu to the staff group, and he will come to confirm with you.”
Alas, he felt even more sour, thinking about the box lunch of the crew of “The Mountain Behind the Mountain”, Chen Aiming became even more envious. He used to make movies and gave special treatment to the director and the actors. The meals provided to them were also good, but ordinary staff, obviously had it a lot worse. It was often an aunt from the surrounding area who was hired to cook a big pot of rice. Every day at the dinner place, they put a few barrels of food there. As for the taste of the meal? Sometimes it was good, and sometimes bad. What could they choose when they came out to work?
However, in the crew of “Mountain Behind the Mountain”, there were at least 20 choices for a single menu every day, and the taste was still delicious. During this time, Chen Aiming watched as many staff members quietly gained weight.
So, was this Lin Meng a “God of Wealth”? He thought about it and touched his chin.
Thinking about half of it, Chen Aiming reacted to it-well, what was he thinking? Lin Meng and Qian were equal signs, of course, they were all good.
“Ms. Lin.” Xiao Wang, who had been next door, appeared dark, holding his laptop in a low pressure.
Lin Meng saw that Zhu Xufang was about to start shooting and did not bother him anymore. She pulled Xiao Wang aside: “What’s wrong?”
“Today with you” touched us again!” Xiao Wang sulked, she couldn’t stand the grievance!
It was clear that these propaganda schemes were all made by Lin Meng and them one by one, including the interval and rhythm of each propaganda. This was the result of careful consideration and rethinking. As a result, all of them had been copied and pasted by “Today and You”! People who were shameless were invincible, and Xiao Wang ignored them, but were they addicted?
Last night, Xiao Wang stuck at 12 o’clock with a funny narration, “Details of the Mountain”, in which Xiao Wang appeared in the form of “unannounced interviewer”, using her perspective to put the crew’s tit-bits in it, and in the middle, the interviews with crew members were also interspersed. The overall style was humorous and interesting. It was very earthy. It was discussed by Lin Meng and Xiao Wang. It was planned for a long time. The filming began on the first day of the crew, and it was planned to shoot every ten days.
It didn’t take long to send it out last night, and the heat went up rapidly. When Xiao Wang was going to sleep, the video playback had already passed 300,000 times.
But as soon as she woke up this morning, she found that “Today and You” were double-chanced again. They sent a video of “Jiaojin’s Diary” at 4 am. It was estimated that they had not prepared it before, and edited the tit-bits together at the last minute. At first glance, it was not so harmonious with the video style. Obviously, some members of the crew of the material interviewed afterwards, added a narration, subtitles and sent it directly, and then bought the hot search, retweets, and marketing numbers.
Now, all eyes were on them.
Xiao Wang just saw a comment below asking, “I think this is a bit like the promotional video of Today and You?”
Yes, yes, you are the only one who really knows how to see it. Pick it one million times. A pair of eyes can see the truth that the whole world can’t find. They are the ones who knows how to watch the release time.
These were all hard work of Ms. Lin-well, it was not very hard, but they had a brainstorm, how could they copy, and be so shameless?
Lin Meng laughed, and Xiao Wang showed her leaping side in front of her. Actually, she never made any mistakes in official affairs.
“It’s okay, they can only follow our steps, you see, anyone with eyes knows which one of us is better?”
“That’s right…, but they bought so many hot searches and let the marketing account forward the post. Many people thought they did it first, and we became imitators.”
Lin Meng patted her calmly: “It’s okay, let’s think again. Next time, think of a unique propaganda plan, so that they can’t copy it even if they want to.”
She picked up her mobile phone and was preparing to repost this Weibo to the homepage of her account, which was also considered as one of the routine propaganda tasks of the Dream Entertainment boss.
After the Weibo App was launched, the homepage was automatically updated. Looking at the Weibo that appeared on the homepage, Lin Meng said, “Xiao Wang, something that will make you happy is here.” She directly put her phone in Xiao Wang’s hands.
Xiao Wang froze, looked down at the screen of the mobile phone, and the more she opened her eyes, the more her eyes turned from misunderstanding to full surprise.
She yelled and yelled, waving her arms, feeling full of energy.
Hum, tell them to hurry to copy the propaganda they thought about every time, right? Hurrying up will cause problems. What’s this called? Heavenly cycle, retribution unhappy, this!
The topic that the two people saw on this Weibo had become “boiling” at the back, and someone on the other side was watching this, waving banknotes in preparation for someone to withdraw the search.
From spending money in the morning to buy hot search, it quickly changed to asking grandpa to tell grandma to press the heat, only for an instant.
