Head Start With Family Business Chapter 8

Chang Haoqing curled his lips and said, "That's because Director Jin is too stream-conscious."

All great directors are prone to various problems, and Director Jin is one of the best.

In fact, many directors don’t like to use body doubles.

It’s just that actors often can’t perform the role as well as their stand-ins, and it’s also easy to put themselves in danger and affect the progress of the entire crew.

Take the script for example. The filming hasn't even started yet, but the script has already been revised twice.

When Chang Haoqing saw the screenwriters in their crew during the day, they all looked like wandering souls, which showed how badly they were tortured.

This is all because Director Jin’s thoughts are too stream-conscious, or it is easy for ordinary people to follow the thinking of great directors and artists.

Chang Haoqing recalled what Director Jin said about the casting requirements for the character Chu Bai, saying that he must be "grown in a pile of gold and jade, and have a belly full of brocade."

Several assistant directors in charge of casting got together to think about it for a long time and decided that the actor should look noble and cultured. Taking into account the age requirements, they also listed quite a few candidates.

Then one by one they were notified to audition, including popular young actors and students from performing arts schools.

It's just a supporting role with only a few minutes of screen time at most. When the time comes, with some lighting and post-production work, all the people who can be chosen will be pretty good-looking kids, and that will be enough.

As a result, Director Jin was not satisfied with any of them. Once he even went too far and rolled his eyes in front of the stars and their agents who came to audition, and the children started crying on the spot.

Chang Haoqing witnessed the scene at the scene, and thought that it was thanks to the old man's high power and status that all the films he directed were hits, and he felt very confident.

Otherwise, even the investors would not be able to tolerate him if he continues to do this.

Rong Jin did not comment on Chang Haoqing's words, but continued to read the newly revised script.

After reading it roughly, Rong Jin knew that Director Jin had not given up and did not want to delete the role of Chu Bai. It was just that in this new version of the script, Chu Bai's role was made more refined.

Rong Jin said: "It is very likely that we will have to look for it while filming."

Chang Haoqing: ...

Then it was exactly as Rong Jin guessed, he really started looking for it while filming.

Because Director Jin insisted on not deleting the character, all scenes related to the role of Chu Bai were postponed.

It has been almost two months since the filming started, and Director Jin has been in a very bad mood because he can't find anyone. When he gets angry, the atmosphere on the entire crew becomes depressing.

It is common for actors to be scolded. Director Jin did not give them any face when he spoke. He held a loud speaker and shouted in front of the monitor: "Can you still act? If not, change someone else!"

Rong Jin did not escape the disaster either, but the way he was scolded was different from that of others.

Director Jin roared angrily: "Rong Jin! Can you give others a chance to live? You will die if you don't suppress your performance! Look at this filming, is it good?"

Rong Jin stood in front of the monitor and watched the playback, very calmly: "Too good, there is nothing I can do."

Director Jin was choked by him and almost couldn't breathe.

Rong Jin asked him: "Are you still shooting?"

Director Jin looked at Rong Jin's face, with a thousand words in his mind, but he was afraid that Rong Jin would retort after he finished speaking, so he felt even more uncomfortable, and his unshaven face turned the color of liver.

Rong Jin was quite persistent: "Hmm?"

Director Jin reluctantly said: "...Call it a day! We'll continue tomorrow!"

Rong Jin said, "Then I'm leaving."

And then he really left.

Director Jin: ...

Chang Haoqing followed Rong Jin back to the tent. As soon as he entered the tent, he started muttering, "Be careful, don't make him sick! If he dies of anger, who will direct the show?"

Rong Jin turned on his computer and replied, "There are many executive directors."

Chang Haoqing: ...

Chang Haoqing felt that he should not worry about Director Jin for the time being. If anyone was to be pissed off by Rong Jin, he would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

While he was still angry, Rong Jin had already opened the game interface.

Chang Haoqing: "...Have you memorized the lines of the new script? Then just play games!"

Yes, even after filming has already started, Director Jin is still torturing the screenwriter, making changes while filming, which is quite cool.

He was so cool, but the entire screenwriter team and cast were really exhausted.

Rong Jin controlled the game character and replied, "Do you want me to recite a passage for you?"

Chang Haoqing thought that he should not stay in the tent, otherwise he might experience what it means to be frustrated by being compared with others.

He felt that God was really unfair. Why were some people's brains so different from ordinary people?

Rong Jin, whose brain is different from that of ordinary people, is actually the same as ordinary people in most cases.

For example, when I am eating, I like to watch videos while I am eating.

Chang Haoqing sat with him to eat and watch videos: "What are you watching today?"

Rong Jin looked through the push notifications on the homepage and clicked on one of them: "Music Festival."

They were enjoying their meal and watching videos here to relieve their boredom, but the backstage of the music festival was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Logan said: "Don't be nervous, it's just like during the rehearsal, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Tyler also added: "Relax! Aiden, you sing very well! Don't be afraid!"

Grace was not very good at this, so she just said, "Come on."

Aiden couldn't help laughing, and in turn comforted the three of them: "I'm really not nervous!"

In fact, it's not that he wasn't nervous at all, but seeing that the three people around him were much more nervous than he was, Aiden's little nervousness was not so obvious.

He has participated in some competitions since he was a child, so he has some experience in going on stage.

Having gone through several rehearsals before, Aiden was confident that he could complete this debut successfully.

Time seems to pass quickly, yet also seems to pass slowly.

Aiden heard the host say his name, the stage lights dimmed, and he sat in front of the piano in the dark, just like he did during the rehearsal.

As his hands touched the piano keys, Aiden took a deep breath and waited for the prelude to sound.

Rong Jin looked at the song and singer information displayed on the computer screen: "Secret Love", sung by Aiden.

In the dim light and shadow, a figure sitting in front of the piano was illuminated.

The silhouette is beautiful.

Rong Jin's attention was attracted.

The lights gradually came on, and the boy's handsome and somewhat overly beautiful profile appeared in the camera.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings. His white and slender fingers slowly pressed the piano keys as the prelude music sounded.

Rong Jin heard him singing softly: "Your color is like endless summer..."

The boy's voice was as gentle as a whisper in the ear, a love song, sad and romantic.

Chang Haoqing was stunned by what he saw and heard, and he sighed softly: "fcuk..."

Rong Jin stood up, picked up his laptop and walked out.

Chang Haoqing was almost frightened to death by him. Seeing him walking out, he quickly shouted, "Where are you going?"

Rong Jin ignored him and took big steps. His legs were long, so he disappeared in just a few steps.

Chang Haoqing jumped up and down behind him and ran out.

Rong Jin rushed into Director Jin's tent with his computer. Director Jin was probably torturing the screenwriters again. He didn't even eat at lunch time. He was like an invigilator, watching the screenwriters revising the script.

Director Jin suddenly saw Rong Jin coming in with a computer in his hand, and was quite puzzled: "...Are you looking for me to play games?"

Rong Jin slammed the computer onto the table in front of him, pointed at Aiden on the screen, and said, "Chu Bai."

When Director Jin heard the word "Chu Bai", he stopped thinking about anything else and hurriedly clicked on the video to watch it.

A few devastated screenwriters nearby came over to watch, and saw a video of an extremely beautiful young man playing the piano and singing softly.

The singer felt so sad that he almost shed tears.

Director Jin stared at Aiden until he finished singing the song. That was not enough, so he pulled the progress bar back and started watching from the beginning again.

After watching it over and over again for several times, Director Jin exhaled and said, "Let him try!"

Rong Jin smiled, reached out to pick up his computer, and left as suddenly as he came.

Several screenwriters were laughing so hard that they lost their souls, but Director Jin was furious: "Leave your computer to me! How can I watch it if you take it away!"

Rong Jin replied from outside: "Find it yourself!"

Director Jin was about to pick up a weapon to fight him, but luckily there was a quick-witted screenwriter nearby who had already searched for the video of the music festival.

They really don't want to change the script anymore!

Please God, let this handsome boy play Chu Bai!

If I change it again I will really die suddenly!!!

Then, at the critical moment when Aiden was about to release his mini album, Logan received a call from the crew of "Xia Gu".

After Logan hung up the phone, he suspected that this was a telephone scam. Otherwise, how could he receive a call from Director Jin's crew today after attending a music festival last night?

Is this scientific???

Logan suspected that the big boss had used some connections, so he asked carefully, but it turned out that the boss did nothing.

After Aiden knew about this, he was also very surprised: "Me? Filming a movie?"

Logan nodded. It was hard to describe the feeling in his heart. When luck comes, it is unstoppable. His debut on a music show was seen by a big director. It would be unfair for this kid not to be popular!

Aiden didn't even join the school drama club, and his only experience in drama performance was probably the children's plays he performed in kindergarten.

Aiden: "I might not..."

Before he finished speaking, Logan said with great enthusiasm: "Perform! You must perform!"
