Chapter 230: Skill is better than skill.
The filming progress of "Lost in Thailand" is relatively slow.

Compared to Bai Youlou's bold and aggressive approach when directing a movie, Xiao Wu is somewhat more cautious.

The film is expected to be shot in about three and a half months.

According to Bai Youlou's estimation, it would probably take Xiao Wu three and a half months to complete the filming.

This is not a bad thing. No matter how slow it is, it will just be completed on time.

After all, Xiao Wu is not like him. He has a complete and referenced film in his mind, so he can shoot fewer wasted shots.

The length of a movie is about ninety to one hundred and twenty minutes, but the material shot is more than that.

Some actors may stay on the crew for a month and shoot a large number of shots, but when the movie is finally released, they find that their shots total less than three minutes.

This is the charm of big scissors.

The reason why Bai Youlou can often complete shooting tasks ahead of schedule is mainly because he has few wasted shots.

Others use three out of ten shots, but he can only use seven or eight out of ten. It would be strange if he wasn't fast.

Xiao Wu didn't know all this, so he felt quite uncomfortable. He always felt that he was greatly lacking in abilities and had a lot of room for improvement.

So the director became more cautious and if nothing unexpected happens, it will probably take four months to complete the filming.

This made Lao Zhou very anxious!
He is the producer, the money bag, and the shareholder of the company.

It will definitely cost more money for Xiao Wu to make a movie like this.

Spend more money?
Wouldn't that cost him his life?!
"Xiao Wu, I think that life is actually very short, so you might as well be bolder."

"Love someone, climb a mountain, pursue a dream?" Xiao Wu asked puzzledly.

"Fuck you! I want you to shoot faster! Isn't it a bit absurd to keep every shot?"

Hearing what Lao Zhou said, Xiao Wu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I'm really not as good as Brother Lou."

"That's not what I meant."

Old Zhou is still a human being, how can he discourage the enthusiasm of a young man like this?
No matter how fast Bai Youlou shoots movies, he is just one person. If the company wants to grow bigger and stronger, it must have one, two, or three talented young directors like Xiao Wu to stand out.

Otherwise, who would shoot the pile of scripts in Bai Youlou’s desk?
Just like the “300 Children’s Songs”, when that thing was given to Zhang Xiaorong, a new generation of diva was created.

But in fact, if Bai Youlou were to go all out, he could create more than just a Zhang Xiaorong in the music industry.

Three or four might be fine.

By then, he would truly be the godfather of music.

But I guess his main focus is still on movies.

Anyway, after filming the movie, he would rather lie on the sofa and play games than record songs.

Although Long Ziqiang has changed his career to become an actor, he is still willing to take time to record a few new songs. Even though he is not as successful as Zhang Xiaorong in the music industry, he has also received a lot of extra notices because of this.

He is also considered a backbone force in the music industry.

When "Dying to Survive" and "Lost in Thailand" are released, Long Ziqiang's career will usher in a new period of explosive growth.

A truly versatile artist with full professional capabilities.

Just a little ugly.

Otherwise, this guy would even want to grab a bite of his idol's food, because during the Chinese New Year this year, Long Ziqiang accepted the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala of his hometown satellite TV station, and he sang and danced on the stage, and his dancing really looked like the real deal.

Compared to the songs written by Bai Youlou, which can shine in the hands of different people, most of his scripts can only be left there gathering dust.

Bai Youlou had no choice but to accept the fact that it took too long for a movie to be released after it was made.

Even if Bai Youlou is a superman, it is impossible for him to film all the stories in his mind.

So he stopped in time.

I won’t stock up until my desk is cluttered with scripts.

But Lao Zhou was very anxious!

Seeing those scripts just sitting there gathering dust, he felt like he had lost a lot of money for no reason!

Fortunately, Xiao Wu showed up.

Although this guy is not as perverted as Bai Youlou, he is also a very talented young director, otherwise he would not have been pulled into the company so easily.

Lao Zhou has done detailed research.

In short, he really hopes that Xiao Wu can learn from Bai Youlou and become a "quick shooter".

But don’t be as lazy as Bai Youlou. It would be better if you could make at least three movies a year to bring a little speed shock to the film and television industry!

But unfortunately, Xiao Wu and Bai Youlou took completely opposite approaches. The more they filmed, the slower they became.

Although movies are art, there is definitely nothing wrong with polishing them.

But movies are also commodities. If they are overly elaborate, on the one hand, it will cost more money, and on the other hand, it is unnecessary.
No matter how carefully you polish a comedy, it will never become a classic movie.

To exaggerate a little, it smells a bit like carving patterns on shit.

Fortunately, this is only Xiao Wu’s first movie, and Lao Zhou thinks that if he can instill some “correct ideas” in him, he should be able to change things.

However, Xiao Wu himself obviously still has a lot of ideas.

A talented director always has a bit of temper.

This temper is not revealed at all in front of Bai Youlou, who suppresses him in all aspects, but in front of a businessman like Lao Zhou who reeks of money, Xiao Wu insists on his own way.

No matter how much you chatter, it goes in one ear and out the other.

Why do you care how I film? Brother Lou didn't say anything.
However, although Xiao Wu is determined not to compromise on the speed of filming, he has already said that he has special skills when it comes to saving money!
The relationship between the two people who were almost on the verge of quarreling was eased because of this.

"Brother Xiaobai, Producer Zhou and Director Wu almost had a fight, and you didn't do anything about it?"

Nanako, who said she was going to get a drink, whispered to Bai Youlou mysteriously but with a smile on her face.

"Did you learn this habit of telling tales from Jiang Yuanchu?"

If you ask who is the best at snitching, Nanako would hold her head high!
This girl is really awesome. In order to make Xiao Wu have the authority as a director in the crew, Bai Youlou almost never gives orders or comments on anything in the crew.

Even when he was not filming, he rarely left the RV.

But Bai Youlou knew all the big and small things that happened in the crew.

It’s not that they have planted any spies, but mainly because Nanazi, a bored and gossipy girl, always likes to share these things with Bai Youlou.

It can be seen that almost all the female celebrities who came out of Manli Entertainment have learned Liu Manli's bad habits.

gossip.

Nanako is even better than her teacher.

Perhaps because she had suffered a lot due to her carelessness in the past, she attached great importance to "intelligence".

She even knew that a makeup artist and a photographer were flirting with each other and might be having an affair in private.

This intelligence capability is comparable to that of the group of old ladies at the entrance of the village.

"Jiang Yuanchu? She is so arrogant."

Nanako's expression always changes slightly when she hears Jiang Yuanchu's name.

Then give the other person some eye drops.

Bai Youlou was also convinced by this.

Jiang Yuanchu complained to her about Nanazi, and Nanazi said bad things about Jiang Yuanchu in front of him.

There was enough "dirty information" about these two girls that Bai Youlou threatened them to wear collars and chains.

The one who knows you best is always your enemy.

Nanako even has a photo of Jiang Yuanchu picking his nose in the company.
Don't ask, she took the photo herself. She shared this "ugly photo" with Bai Youlou without hesitation.

The purpose is to damage Jiang Yuanchu's image in Bai Youlou's eyes.

Then he asked Bai Youlou to delete the original film as well.

Of course, in return, Bai Youlou also asked Jiang Yuanchu to delete a "black material" photo of Nanazi.

Women, women. It's so scary!

"The quarrel was intentional. Don't worry about it." Bai Youlou waved his hand.

How could Lao Zhou and Xiao Wu almost quarrel in public?

Even though Xiao Wu is young and energetic, Lao Zhou is an old jerk.

Even if the two of them really want to copy, they have to ask Bai Youlou to be the captain of the Dragonfly team.

It was simply that someone in the crew couldn't hold back any longer, and Lao Zhou was just using himself to establish authority over Xiao Wu.

If he even dares to confront Lao Zhou, what are the others?
This is the signal to the entire crew.

Very practical little trick.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Nanako widened her eyes and moved closer. This action made Bai Youlou almost count her eyelashes.

I just reached out and pressed her face, pushing the girl away a little, "Don't talk to me so close."

As if she had misunderstood Bai Youlou's meaning, Nana's face turned red all of a sudden, and then she began to blow on the air and smell the smell in her mouth.

"There is no odor. I brushed my teeth very cleanly."

Nanako was very nervous. She was a girl! If her mouth smelled bad and the boy she wanted to pursue smelled it, she would want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Your mouth tastes nothing but mint"

She heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, "You scared me to death!"

"But I had some pickled garlic at noon."

"Brother Xiaobai, we have a kissing scene tonight!"

Urgent, urgent.

"It's okay, we can use a different angle. It's not very clear in the dark."

The so-called kissing scene was actually a "car sex" scene, but before filming the shaking of the car, they had to film the two of them being intimate in the car.

But this scene will not be filmed in such detail, a general idea will be enough, there is no need for a real kiss at all.

Nanako didn't agree!
He looked at Bai Youlou with a "serious" look on his face: "Brother Xiaobai, we are all professional actors."

Bai Youlou: ???

I always feel that this sentence is so familiar.

He seems to have used this trick to fool that idiot An Luning
So now Nana is using it to fool him?

"A professional actor means that he has been in the industry for several years but has no masterpiece to show for himself? His main works are red carpet photos and magazine photos?"

In a word, Nanako almost became an emo.

Why are you still swearing?

I just want to date you, you've crossed the line!

"Brother Xiaobai, I don't want this either."

Seeing Nanazi with a wronged face, Bai Youlou did not let her go, "Don't think that you can always rely on your face to get along in the circle just because you are beautiful. After ten years, you will eventually..."

"Can I still rely on my looks for another ten years?!"

Nanako said with a look of surprise.

Bai Youlou:
Well~ when he farts.

Obviously, Nanazi is not Lu Wenyuan and does not have such a strong desire to succeed.

If these words were said to Lu Wenyuan, he would immediately blush and express his dissatisfaction and determination to work hard.

Perhaps a big part of the reason why she has become what she is now is due to Jiang Yuanchu.

If she hadn't wanted to compete with Jiang Yuanchu, she estimated that her current situation would be worse.

This chick lacks enough motivation.

Also. Pretty good.

No one says that every actor has to be a performing artist.

Actresses like Nanako, who precisely place themselves in the position of a vase, are also part of the entertainment industry's ecological chain.

She never thought about getting herself a Best Actress trophy or something like that one day.

The script that was placed in Bai Youlou's RV and of which only the first few pages had been read so far said it all.

Every time he turned a few pages, this girl would do something weird, either taking off her shoes or changing her clothes and then giving Bai Youlou a live temptation.

She may not be as "infatuated" as An Luning, but when she wants to fall in love and be close to a man, she can do nothing else.

In a sense, this is also a kind of love brain.

Bai Youlou: "You think you are a dancer, but actually you are a loser."

Bai Youlou: "Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong? I've seen a lot of girls like you. You put on a blue tail and act like a Smurf. Do you think you're really stupid? Huh?"

Nanako: "You are sick!"

Bai Youlou: "Hey! You still want to run! Where are you going? This is your current situation, you are stuck!"

Bai Youlou: "Don't cry anymore? You can't even take care of a tail, how worrying!"

Nanako: “What are you doing?”

Bai Youlou: "Don't move, don't move. Sometimes you have to find a different way to solve a problem, you know?"

"Crack!"

"This part won't work, Nana, where's the change in your eyes? You should have been annoyed with him at the beginning."

Xiao Wu organized his words a bit and did not say directly to Nanazi, "Don't keep looking at Brother Lou with lustful eyes." Instead, he reminded her in a more tactful way.

"sorry!"

Nanako quickly admitted her mistake and stuck out her tongue at Bai Youlou. She was criticized by the director~
Bai Youlou:
Another malicious act of cuteness!
The filming of this scene was quite unsuccessful.

Xiao Wu is now in a very picky state. He would rather slow down the pace of filming to achieve perfection.

In this situation, Nanazi, whose mind was full of competing with Jiang Yuanchu for the man, naturally could not give a good answer.

After several NGs, Xiao Wu couldn't help it anymore, so he called Nana Zi and scolded her with a stern face.
Nana was so confused by the scolding.

Fortunately, scolding is still useful. Nana is not completely incapable of acting. She has several years of experience, and she is not a stubborn person like Zhang Xiaorong.

After adjusting his state, even though Xiao Wu still didn't think it was that good, he was still getting closer to the passing line.

It's just close, and there's still a little distance to passing.

So Xiao Wu waved his hand and said, okay, let’s not shoot this part, let’s just start having sex in the car.

He saw it, or rather, the whole crew saw it, that Nanazi wanted to hook up with Bai Youlou.

Then let her succeed first.

But before the filming, Lao Zhou found Xiao Wu, whispered a few words to him, and started to clear the scene!
