Chapter 1037: I’m the Director, I Call the Shots
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I’m the director. I have the final say. You think that this is unnecessary, but this is the best time to promote the relationship between the male and female leads!” Director Liu said coldly. “Otherwise, why would Pei Jie appear to save you? How? How do we push forward the relationship line?”
Shi Xi was helpless.
It was a good novel, but the script was too magical.
“How about this? We can change the forest into the Misty Forest. They can’t use spiritual power inside.” said Tian Yu.
“But later on, Pei Jie used his spiritual energy to help me heal.” Shi Xi raised another objection.
“Why are you the only one who talks so much? Then delete the plot where the female lead knows how to ride a sword,” Director Liu said straightforwardly.
“However, Liu Arming’s sword was stolen later, so she couldn’t ride a flying sword.”
“This won’t do, that won’t do.” Director Liu frowned and said impatiently, “Just follow my script!”
“How about this, let the fellow sect members who bullied the female lead give her some elixir pills. In this way, the female protagonist cannot ride a sword and fly.” Tian Yu suggested, “It won’t affect the plot even if there are few changes.”
“Sure.” Shi Xi nodded.
Director Liu waved his hand impatiently and said, “That’s it. Hurry up and film! We have to shoot thirty scenes today. If you spend half an hour on every episode like this, you won’t even be able to shoot enough in a day!”
“Thirty scenes? Why did you take so many scenes?” Shi Xi asked in surprise.
“The time is short, so of course we have to hurry up.” Director Liu chased them out and said, “All departments, pay attention. We have to shoot quickly!”
“You can make some minor changes to the script first. We’ll shoot it as we make changes,” Shi Xi said to Tian Yu.
There were many bugs in the script. They were all unremarkable but brainless plots that could not withstand scrutiny.
If she didn’t change it, it would be a flaw in the drama and it would be easy to be ridiculed.
They continued filming.
Shi Xi entered the plot. In the middle of this scene, a small bug flew in front of her, causing her to be dazed.
However, Director Liu did not say to stop, so she could only continue.
Shi Xi pretended to comb her hair and chased the little bug away before continuing with her lines.
She had thought that Director Liu would say that they would reshoot.
But unexpectedly, Director Liu said “pass”.
Shi Xi: ?
He could pass this?
Didn’t he see the little bug?
Director Liu picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, “Get ready, it’s time for the next scene!”
Shi Xi walked to Director Liu’s side and asked, “Why don’t we take another one?”
“Just now, there was a small bug flying in front of my eyes. I don’t feel very well.”
Director Liu waved his hand and let the others continue to touch up their makeup. He encouraged, “Very well filmed! You’re in great condition! Continue to maintain this state! Let’s shoot a show, okay!”
Although it was an agreement, Director Liu’s tone was very perfunctory.
It was as if he was a worker who had just gotten off work.
Shi Xi thought for a moment and felt that her condition just now was indeed alright, so she continued filming.
However, after filming a few scenes, Shi Xi realized that as long as the lines were correct, Director Liu would not stop her.
Almost every scene was done in one or two takes.
With such high efficiency, it was normal to shoot thirty to forty scenes a day.
However, this made Tian Yu tired.
As she filmed and edited, Tian Yu had edited almost ail the bug plots.
Fortunately, they had gone through the plot before they came. Otherwise, they would not have been able to change it.
Noon, break time.
Tian Yu came to Shi Xi’s side and complained, “This Director Liu is too troublesome.”
“Has he not made many movies?” Shi Xi could not help but ask as she ate her lunch..
