The time has entered November, and the entertainment section on a certain page has always been a gathering place for rumors about right and wrong in the entertainment industry, commonly known as the "Eight Groups".

There are also many so-called insiders who always reveal some true or false anecdotes in the industry.

Sometimes it's pure nonsense, but sometimes there are a lot of fresh and hot rumors outside the industry, but things that are old news to people in the industry will also be posted here.

For example, after a certain item in the entertainment industry explodes on the Zhalang hot search, someone may belatedly discover in a certain category that a few months before the item exploded, an "informed person"

It was mentioned implicitly in semantics.

Even this "eight groups" have many marketing accounts, insiders, experienced people, and even people in the food circle. It can be regarded as a rather complicated "ecosystem".

At the same time, this place can also be regarded as a "propaganda" position.

For example, the fact that Ding Zhi is the mysterious guest in "Let's Start Shooting, Director" has actually been exposed by someone before.

On the one hand, Ding Zhi's participation in the filming of Li Wenfeng's short film "Let's Shoot" is not a well-hidden secret.

Secondly, the program team is actually deliberately showing off.

To be honest, the variety show "Let's Shoot" was not very popular after its premiere. After all, this kind of director-type competitive variety show is actually much less popular than the actor-type competitive variety show.

Unless you hire some very controversial young directors, such as the director of "Dream Chasing XX Circle", or some actors who are good at acting and directing.

"Let's Shoot" has neither of these, and seems to be aiming to "concentrate on niche variety shows" to face the audience, so naturally it is somewhat unable to gain popularity.

Because only the first episode has been broadcast, it is too early to talk about word-of-mouth, but for the time being, although the popularity is not high, the reviews are pretty good.

The "Tuner" filmed by Ding Zhi had already been completed by this time.

The time limit given by the program team at that time was 20 days.

As a result, Ding Zhi and Li Wenfeng only spent 12 days filming this scene, and the remaining 8 days were more than enough for them to edit in post-production.

The reason for this is not only because the script structure is simple and there are not many "show off skills", but more importantly, Ding Zhi, as the "eyes" of this short ten-minute scene, has always firmly controlled the entire scene.

Rhythm.

On the one hand, this is because he is too familiar with the script, and on the other hand, it is also because his acting skills have reached the point where he can handle such a not-so-difficult role with ease.

If there are no accidents in most of the shots, they are basically one shot.

In fact, there is another difficulty with this role, that is, as a former pianist + current tuner, this role appears most often in front of the camera in scenes of playing the piano and tuning the piano.

Especially in the last important scene of this short film, Ding Zhi was required to tune the music and play the piano at the same time.

According to Li Wenfeng's original idea, it was probably just to let Ding Zhi do the show, and then dub it later.

Unexpectedly, at the filming scene, Ding Zhi actually used a tuning tool to tune the piano that was used as a prop, and then manually played the song "S - Dichterliebe - Hor Ich Das Liedgen Op48" from the script.

To be honest, even Miss Zou was shocked when the piano sounded. She had never heard Ding Zhi play the piano after being together for so long.

This is so damn deep.

However, considering Ding Zhi’s “previous” background as a singing and dancing singer, I can barely accept it.

But what does it mean to know how to tune???

Ding Zhi also feels that there is nothing he can do about it. If you are lucky, you can be versatile!

This also gave everyone on the set a slight shock.

This scene was, of course, faithfully captured by the program team's camera.

And Ding Zhi can play the piano, which also provides Li Wenfeng with a lot of convenience in shooting.

For example, it is possible to shoot Ding Zhi's hands playing the piano head-on without using editing to create the illusion that Ding Zhi is playing the piano.

After all the required materials were shot and edited, the film was quickly submitted for review—yes, don’t think that it’s a short film for a variety show and doesn’t need to be submitted for review.

Since it appears in the form of a movie, even if it is just a short film of ten minutes, it needs to be lived through.

But what happened at this time had little to do with Ding Zhi.

After filming this short film, Ding Zhi's "fate" with this program was almost over.

After Ding Zhi helped Li Wenfeng make such a good start, if he failed to achieve good results in the end, there are only two reasons. The first is that the program had a shady story, and the second is that Li Wenfeng failed in the subsequent competition.

.

But this is beyond Ding Zhi's control.

At this time, the six directors in "Let's Shoot, Director" have also completed their works one after another.

The first round of competition for this program has entered the third stage.

That's the screening stage.

This screening stage is divided into two parts. The first part is for film critics to give scores after watching the movie. The one with the highest score will become the "Best Recommendation of this Issue".

The second part is a viewing group of 600 people arranged by the program team to watch the movie.

The first batch of 100 people will watch the movie first, and each person can only choose one of the six short films to watch. Each viewer is equivalent to a box office of 10,000.

The six directors canvassed votes through posters, publicity, and on-site canvassing, a simplified version of "road shows."

After the first batch of 100 people watch the movie, their evaluation and rating of the film will be updated in real time. Then the subsequent viewers can see the feedback of the "first batch of crab eaters" and decide what they want to watch.

Which movie is it?

In fact, this model can be regarded as simulating to a certain extent the real-life model of a movie from promotion, scheduling, film scheduling, to audience evaluation, word-of-mouth fermentation, and ultimately determines box office results.

In the first part of the ratings, Li Wenfeng, Ding Zhi and "The Tuner" did not seem to receive too high a rating in the eyes of those "film critics", and in the end they received a somewhat satisfactory score.

But in the end, the one that won the "Best Recommendation" spot in the first round of competition was a short film with a rural theme that was more literary and abstract.

This quite reflects the preference of this group of "professional" film critics.

Soon, the progress moved to the second part.

There is an exclusive screening room for the films of six directors.

At this time, Li Wenfeng's chicken thief qualities were fully demonstrated.

He printed out full-body posters of Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong. Ding Zhi's eyes revealed a strange gray color, and he sat bare-chested in front of a piano.

Zou Yutong, on the other hand, was wearing some sexy silk pajamas, standing behind Ding Zhi, looking at Ding Zhi with "soft and tender" eyes, raising his hands slightly, and seemed to be holding something in his hands, creating a feeling of,

It looked like he was trying to surround Ding Zhi from behind.

Traffic password, folks!

Putting aside Ding Zhi's current astonishing popularity, the movie "The Eraser in My Brain" in May this year alone has produced countless CP fans of Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong.

Especially the ending BE, it is even more painful for many CP fans.

In fact, there are many calls on the Internet for the two to get back together again.

Therefore, just looking at the poster, this short film has touched the hearts of many people.

Guan Xiaoying is one of them.

The 600-person viewing group for "Let's Shoot" was openly recruited on many social platforms.

Guan Xiaoying and her roommate were very lucky to be selected.

And even more fortunately, she actually saw the new movie starring Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong!

Although the staff had already conducted science popularization before, so she also learned that this was just a short film with a time limit of ten minutes, but as a fan of the two CPs, Guan Xiaoying was obviously very satisfied.

Her eyes stopped at the category "Thriller, Suspense" written on the poster, and she felt a little confused.

However, with the mentality that she was about to eat candy, she still took her roommate and happily walked into the screening room belonging to Li Wenfeng. She didn't even have to look at the posters and "road shows" of the other five directors, let alone hang around or be entangled.

.

And there are actually quite a few people as "decisive" as she is.

Among the one hundred people, a large part of the crowd was attracted by "The Tuner".

This made the five directors except Li Wenfeng look at each other, and they all felt a little helpless.

Obviously Li Wenfeng was the one who lost the most in the "Battle for Actors" from the beginning. Among the nearly ten actors who appeared in "Let's Shoot, Director", not to mention those senior and powerful actors, there was not even one actor.

Can grab it.

Who would have expected that he would directly call for foreign aid and directly invite the giant Buddha Ding Zhi over.

This is just cheating!

In terms of box office appeal alone, the actors assigned to them may not be as good as Ding Zhi in total!
