Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

Chapter 221 I Have a Son (22)

After the dinner, Kang Hui drove Chen Minhao back to the hotel.

On the way back, Kang Hui smiled and said, "I didn't expect Director Xu An to be quite approachable. She has no airs at all. I thought she would be very arrogant as the first female director in China. I didn't expect her to be so kind and talkative." .”

Chen Minhao thought: Sister Kang, you praise her so much, at least half of the reason is because she praised you. Not expressing what was in his heart, Chen Minhao said with a smile on his lips: "Indeed, I feel that she is very experienced and has deep thinking, but she is not ostentatious."

"By the way, I've been busy during the day, and I haven't asked you yet, how did you persuade Xing Xi to participate in the performance?"

In order to avoid cheating in front of Xingxi in the future, Chen Minhao told Kang Hui the process of persuading Xingxi in detail.

Kang Hui's face darkened when he heard that he was blamed, and then he sighed and said, "Hey, I shouldn't have asked you this question, it ruined my good mood for the day."

Chen Minhao said apologetically: "I'm sorry, at that time, in the atmosphere of 'Friends of Gentlemen, Xin Rulan', it was really difficult for me to make a request, and I could only use your mouth to make a request."

Kang Hui smiled in relief, and said: "It's okay, it's one of the manager's job responsibilities to take the blame for the artist, but in the future, you need to follow up on Xingxi, I think he should be in a period time, will look at me very badly."

………

Time was running out, and although director Xu An's final script hadn't been completely perfected yet, Kang Hui had already started to select shooting scenes according to the outline of the script.

September is the peak season for film and TV shooting, and the supply of "family venues" in BJ's film and television bases is in short supply, not to mention the current situation where there is no appointment and you want to use it the next day.

Despite this, Kang Hui still contacted a crew that was filming a family melodrama through his contacts, and they had an indoor shooting location that was temporarily unused.

After taking a look, director Xu An directly vetoed it: "No, this room is too big. As a bedroom, it is more than 30 square meters, which is not suitable for the tone of my MV shooting."

Without further ado, Kang Hui stepped on his 8cm high heels and immediately went to find the next shooting location.

After seeing it, Director Xu An shook his head again: "No, the things in this room are too new. It doesn't feel like an old man lives at all. Please ask, can these sofas, coffee tables and chandeliers be more simple?"

Kang Hui immediately asked the crew who provided the room if they could change the furniture in a short period of time. After getting a negative answer, Kang Hui went to find a new venue without stopping. This time, the price, decoration style, and furniture were all qualified. The director nodded reluctantly.

It was supposed to be the moment of universal celebration, but the crew who provided the venue said: "This venue can only be used for 2 days."

Xu An once again used her right of veto. The reason is that although there are not many shots for this scene, it can be done in about a day and a half, but she doesn't like rushing to shoot, which will affect the quality of her shots.

Kang Hui asked Chen Minhao with a sad face: "Did I say that she was easy to talk to yesterday? I take it back completely now. Today, I have tried all the crews in Kyoto that I can talk to. Tomorrow, I can only go to the ones outside Kyoto." Film and television base."

Chen Minhao thought for a while and said, "In fact, we can try not to find a film and television base, but to shoot in ordinary people's homes."

Kang Hui said hesitantly: "It shouldn't be possible. In fact, it's not that Xu An is not good at talking. I think she is the kind of person who pursues art so much that she can't hold the sand in her eyes. But then again, if she can just pass the filming process , she will not be able to achieve today's achievements.

I have never heard of a well-known director shooting high-quality clips in ordinary people's homes. The studios of film and television bases are all 6 meters high, but the height of ordinary houses is only three meters, which makes lighting in ordinary houses very difficult. , and it is difficult for the camera to find a suitable position. After all, it was not built specifically for filming. "

Chen Minhao thought for a while and said: "Try it. Anyway, she has denied it three times, and she is not afraid of doing it again."

Chen Minhao's last words pierced Kang Hui's heart like a sharp sword. With the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Kang Hui spent money to find a room with an old man in his seventies.

Unexpectedly, Director Xu An actually nodded.

Kang Hui asked Chen Minhao in surprise: "How did you know that you can shoot in ordinary people's homes?"

Chen Minhao said with a smile: "I made up for Director Xu's two films last night. I feel that she really cares about the texture of the filming."

Kang Hui asked puzzledly: "The texture of this shooting has nothing to do with shooting in ordinary residents' homes."

Chen Minhao felt that Kang Hui might not really have artistic talent, but he didn't know how to explain his mysterious feeling to Kang Hui, so he said perfunctorily: "Just treat me as a blind cat and a dead mouse."

Kang Hui felt that his IQ had been insulted.

The next day, in the rented house, Chen Minhao saw the "son" chosen by director Xu An out of ten, named Zhang Qi. He is only 6 years old this year, and looks fair and clean. His mother leads him to sit on a small bench.

Many crew members said with a smile: "This kid is so handsome. I think Teacher Chen was so cute when he was young. No wonder Director Xu An chose him to play Teacher Chen's son."

If Chen Ma was on the set, she would definitely refute: "My son was much cuter than him when he was young."

Director Xu An's point of view is still that there should not be too many dialogues in the MV, so Chen Minhao's personal monologue will be the main focus, and all the filmed content will serve this monologue.

"I became a father. As a father, I need more patience and understanding than I imagined. Now I realize the hard work of a father, but I will work harder. Because I am a father."

The main material of the shooting is Chen Minhao taking care of the child: washing his feet, putting on socks for him, combing his hair...

For a series of life-like content, the crew took two days to shoot. Chen Minhao knew that he had shot so much material in two days, but in the end it might only take a dozen seconds.

Fortunately, this child has a relatively good personality, and he took pictures repeatedly for two days without crying or making trouble.

At the same time, it is also fortunate that this is a child. If a middle-aged man is combed by such a high-intensity filming, his hair should all fall out.

During the shooting process, many people came to visit the class. Joya, the brand public relations director of Burberry, came to visit the class once and proposed the idea of ​​sponsoring the clothing for this shooting.

Chen Minhao directly refused. If he accepted the sponsorship, the scenery would be so beautiful that he would not dare to look at it: Wearing a luxurious suit and going to a small shop in the vegetable market to buy cigarettes, is this King who is going to be a vegetable market?

The plot of buying cigarettes in a small shop is also very simple, that is, a father buys cigarettes, and when he turns around, he finds that the child he brought out is missing.

On the question of where to shoot in the vegetable market, Director Xu An conducted a field trip. Director Xu An went to no less than 30 vegetable markets, and she finally chose to shoot at a small shop in Chengdong vegetable market.

As for the candidates for the owner of the small cigarette shop, director Xu An initially thought of finding amateurs to shoot, but I don’t know if it’s because Chen Minhao is so handsome, or for other reasons, the couple in this small shop are the same. Trouble, I laughed when I opened the camera. Director Xu An had to find someone else temporarily.

Xu An saw Wang Aiying who came to visit Xingxi Class, and asked her, "Would you like to come and have a try?"

Wang Aiying smiled embarrassingly, and said, "I have never been an actor before, so I am worried that it will delay things."

But Chen Minhao saw that Wang Aiying actually wanted to try it out, but she was a little embarrassed. Chen Minhao planned to add a handful of firewood, even if it didn't work out in the end, it would still allow her to pass the actor's addiction.

Then, he soon knew what it meant to be "I thought it was a bronze, but it turned out to be a king"!
