Chapter 98 Authority
Talking about drama is a very tiring thing.

There are differences in people's cognition. There are some things that you understand very clearly and think they are simple and clear and you can understand them at a glance.

But others don’t know and don’t understand. At this time, it is really not easy for you to instill what you understand into their heads.

Fortunately, Xu Zheng is not stupid either. Not only is he not stupid, he is even very smart.

Wang Hao realized that this guy's so-called drama habit was just an excuse, and his real purpose was to add more drama to himself.

During the previous street closure shooting, he had no other thoughts because of the tight time and heavy workload.

Now that the shooting location has changed and he has more time, he has begun to test the director's bottom line step by step.

After all, in his opinion, although "The Fatal Call" is very good, the protagonist is actually not that outstanding.

In other words, none of the characters in this movie have anything outstanding to offer.

The main highlight of "Fatal Call" is actually the thrilling plot and suspense and thriller elements.

In the words of the industry, if the play doesn't promote the actors, the result is usually that the play is popular but the actors are not.

This situation is common to many commercial blockbusters, but it is not what Xu Zheng wants to see.

That's why he designed a lot of small actions for the male protagonist based on his own understanding, trying to highlight himself more.

Of course, Wang Hao knew this very well.

But the situation this time is different from his previous movie "The Shallows".

In the movie "The Shallows", because the heroine Wang Zhi's acting skills are not good enough, Wang Hao can only make up for it with panoramic views and a lot of exaggerated body movements to distract the audience's attention so that they will not pay too much attention to the actors' expressions and lines.

But the situation of filming "Fatal Call" this time was different.

In this movie, Xu Zheng's acting skills are more than enough, and he can definitely take on the role of the protagonist.

So at this time, Wang Hao mostly used close-ups when shooting, and even gave the male protagonist a lot of close-ups.

In this case, if Xu Zheng's performance was a little more exaggerated, it would have been too much on the big screen.

And the key point is, as a new director, Wang Hao has to make Xu Zheng understand, and also make those who are paying attention to this matter understand, who is the boss in this crew?

Only "name" and "tool" cannot be borrowed from others.

The director is the "king" of the crew, so he must always pay attention and maintain his authority.

In my territory, everyone has to listen to me!
Don’t think that you can look down on me just because I’m young and easy to talk to!

Wang Hao's attitude was very clear. The smart Xu Zheng also knew that Wang Hao had seen through his intentions, so he said nothing, nodded directly, and accepted it humbly:

"I understand, Director Wang."

Then Xu Zheng returned to the performance area and continued working.

In the following days, everyone in the crew, including him, gave Wang Hao a lot of suggestions.

These suggestions were big and small, but only a handful of them were adopted, and some were even rejected by him without any hesitation.

Wang Hao did not make any suggestions except for the action director Li Zhongzhi. After all, he was not very proficient in action scenes. Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Thanks to his actions, those people in the crew who had not worked with Wang Hao before had a general idea of ​​the style of this young director.

In this way, the team had a stable backbone, and the crew was getting better and better at working together, so the subsequent filming went much more smoothly than the previous few days.

During this process, Xu Zheng even contributed a number of wonderful scenes.

For example, in one scene, Xu Zheng fled to his mistress's home under the threat of a sniper, and then took the mistress back to his own home. He happened to meet his wife returning home and blocked the two of them in the house.

At this point, Xu Zheng, Yu Feihong and Fan Binbin were on the same stage and performed a great show that could be called a Shura show.

Xu Zheng's comedic talent was fully displayed in this scene, making Wang Hao in front of the monitor laugh a lot.

If we really have to make an analogy, perhaps the only comparable one is the quarrel scene in "Lost in Thailand" where he and Wang Baoqiang mistakenly entered the gang's place and were blocked by Huang Bo.

However, accidents on the set are always difficult to control. The crew of "Fatal Call" is not small and there are many things to do, but it cannot stop some people from having bad intentions.

For example, a certain actress with the same name always liked to sneak into Wang Hao's room in the middle of the night under the pretext of asking for advice on the script.

At the beginning, Wang Hao still maintained the appearance of a gentleman and just talked about the play every time.

However, 24-year-old Fan Binbin is at the age when she has shed her childishness and her charm is blossoming.

In the dead of night, a man and a woman are alone, facing such a charming beauty who comes to their doorstep. It is hard for any man not to be excited.

You know, he hasn't had much meat since he came here.

Because of career reasons, I may not have thought about this aspect before.

But now we have shot two movies and have been working so hard for so long, can’t we just relax?

In addition, this time is different from the last time Tong Yaya came to the house. Tong Yaya is a girl with relatively conservative ideas and has not yet left school to enter the society. If Wang Hao really gets her, it must be with the idea of ​​falling in love. If Wang Hao just wants to have fun, he will still feel a little guilty.

But Fan Binbin is different. Having been in this circle since she was a teenager, she has seen more, has clear goals, and is not clingy.

What's more, Wang Hao is one year younger than her, young, talented, and good-looking. If it really comes to a conclusion, it's not certain who will suffer.

So the communication between the two people just happened naturally and smoothly.

(One thousand words omitted here)
It’s a good thing that Fan Binbin only played the second female lead and didn’t have that many scenes, otherwise the fact that she couldn’t get out of bed in the morning would be enough to embarrass her.

Life on the crew is so busy and fulfilling. Wang Hao travels around Shanghai during the day directing crew members, and at night he has to work hard and worry about the actors' acting skills.

Time flies by and it is mid-November. As the weather gradually turns colder, the filming mission of "Fatal Call" crew in Shanghai is nearing the end.

Next, they need to return to Shangjing and complete the filming of the remaining scenes in the studio of Qingying Studio. At the same time, the post-production work of the film must also be prepared in advance.

During this process, it was naturally impossible for some people in the crew to follow them to Shangjing.

Therefore, on the last day in Shanghai, everyone had a wrap-up banquet in advance, which put a perfect end to their friendship during this period.

At this point, the mission in the Demon City was completed and everyone embarked on their journey home.
