Chapter 16 The screenwriter is a mother, and the director is a father
For a work, the screenwriter is the mother, and she created the script, if there is no script, then the work will cease to exist.
And the director is his father, and he worked with the screenwriter to figure out the work.
The screenwriter and director are husband and wife.
A hundred years of cultivation can be spent in the same bed, and a thousand years of cultivation can be spent sleeping together, which proves that it is difficult to find a good couple, and the same is true for screenwriters and directors.
Just think about the popular TV series "Soldier Assault" on the earth, the cooperation between director Kang Honglei and screenwriter Lan Xiaolong is seamless, and the later "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment" that the two collaborated on is also a classic.
As for the works shot after the two no longer collaborated, there was no such sensation.
Every director's style is different, and the same script is naturally different for different directors.
After a few days of filming, Yu Xiaoshu has an understanding of Sun Hei's directing style.
Detail control.
And this kind of detail control is everywhere.
For example, when a new location is set up, he has to look through the viewfinder, and he needs to make sure that he is satisfied with the framing of the beginning and end of the shot.
And for some key compositions, Sun Hei is also quite concerned.
Because of this kind of carefulness and seriousness, this led to the filming of "I Am Yu Huanshui" to be promoted a little slowly.
For a one-day scene, Sun Hei has to shoot for three to four days.
In this regard, Xia Qing, as a producer, of course, has a lot of opinions.
Both even slapped the table during a meeting.
"As a director, you have to separate life and work, you can be a good person in life, but sometimes a proper tyrant has to do on the set. ”
Yu Xiaoshu recorded it in his diary every time.
In his previous life, as an agent, he naturally saw too many tyrants on the set, but he and the director will never become friends, because he needs to protect his artists, so he and the director must be enemies.
Scene requirements, schedule requirements, line requirements, etc., all need him to communicate with the director.
Sometimes in order to protect his artists, he even needs to be a villain, and then go back to the banquet and apologize to the director, and at the same time offer some benefits.
But now it's different.
He is a screenwriter, and Sun Hei has to ask his opinion on everything.
After filming starts every day, Sun Hei will leave the screenwriter, producer, gaffer, photographer, scene reporter and other staff to watch the sample film together.
No, today, although Sun Hei and Xia Qing had a quarrel on the set, they continued to watch the daily sample together.
Today's filming is still an office scene.
There are roughly several sequences for filming film and television dramas, the first is to arrange the shooting sequence according to the scene, and the second is to shoot according to the script.
Most generally choose the first one.
And the filming of "I Am Yu Huanshui" is like this, the first three episodes first finished filming the office scenes, and then filmed some other scenes in the hospital and Yu Huanshui's home.
"Okay, let's take a look at the sample first, and then let's express our opinions. ”
Sun Hei said as he played the beginning of the day.
Today's protagonists are Wu Antong and Liang Annie.
The first thing to shoot was Wu Antong's scene.
Wu Antong, the original novel of "I Am Yu Huanshui", had cancer, because the blood samples of the two people were marked with the opposite when the blood test was taken, so Yu Huanshui got the results of Wu Antong's physical examination.
The adaptation made Wu Antong and Yu Huanshui into masters and apprentices, and at the same time, Wu Antong humiliated Yu Huanshui.
......
"You've been doing well lately. ”
"No, my performance that month was not good?? No, you have something to say. ”
"You're so busy, your performance is up to standard, you have some that you can't finish, you give it to me, you go to drink with your girlfriend, how good it is to have a while. ”
"Are you asking me for performance?"
"How do you say that?"
"No, Lao Yu, you are a little too much, you read that you are my master, how many achievements have I given you before, people have to make noise sometimes, I can't support you for a lifetime." ”
Wu Antong gently patted Yu Huanshui's shoulder, then turned around and was about to leave, but when he was halfway through, he suddenly turned back and said, "Master, this person, it's okay to hurt your leg, don't hurt your brain." ”
......
This scene is still very good.
The actor who plays Wu Antong is called Qin Cheng, speaking of which is still Yu Xiaoshu's senior, who graduated from the Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy, he has basically been idle in the past two years.
This made his figure a little out of shape.
can be used to play Wu Antong.
Compared with Qin Cheng, the actor Ying Zhao who plays Liang Annie is a little worse, and he is obviously a little inferior to the old drama Gu Biao.
After watching the sample, Sun Hei said, "What do you think??"
In the past few days, Ying Zhao's acting skills feel a little worse. ”
The assistant director frowned and said: "How do you say it? It's a bit blunt and unnatural, especially when playing against other people, her shortcomings are vividly displayed." ”
Everyone else nodded slightly.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Sun Hei said: "That's right, I also think about it, in this case, while our follow-up scenes have not yet been filmed, let's remove Ying Zhao and replace it with an alternative actor." ”
"Director Sun..."
Xia Qing was anxious when he heard this: "We have been filming for 5 days, and we have only made one-tenth of the progress of filming, if we replace Ying Zhao again, then it is almost equivalent to tearing everything down and starting over, do you think it is still too late?"
"It's too late, it's going to have to be changed. ”
Sun Hei said seriously towards Xia Qing: "Lao Xia, I understand what you mean, I also want to save money for the company, but we can't fail in this drama you know." ”
"This..."
Xia Qing hesitated for a moment, but still said, "The others should go out first." ”
At this time, the assistant director, lighting engineer, recording engineer, scene recorder and others all got up and left, and Yu Xiaoshu was also ready to pick up the script and leave.
"Little tree, you stay. ”
Xia Qing saw that Yu Xiaoshu was about to leave, and couldn't help but shout.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the room.
"The web drama "I Am Yu Huanshui" is of great significance to us, we can't afford to lose, but Lao Sun, if you still have an attitude of excellence according to your current filming process, I am afraid that our online drama will be stopped by the company, because it was a small cost before, but now it is overspending every day. ”
Xia Qing said to Sun Hei: "It's okay, as long as the first three episodes of "I Am Yu Huanshui" are filmed wonderfully, but now you have to cut all the scenes of Ying Zhao and reshoot, which is absolutely not good." ”
Sun Hei shook his head and said: "Why can't it??, Lao Xia, you just admit it too much, our last online drama hit the street and hit the street in the first three episodes, and I definitely can't make the same mistake this time." ”
Xia Qing: "Absolutely not, you just ask Mr. Wu about this matter, and Mr. Wu will not agree." ”
The two quarreled again at this time.
But no one can say anyone.
"Alright, let's stop arguing, Xiaoshu, you come. ”
Sun Hei looked at Yu Xiaoshu: "You are a screenwriter, then you must know the role of Liang Annie." ”
Yu Xiaoshu nodded lightly: "Yes, the role of Annie Liang is also very important, and she belongs to the glue of the plot." ”
"yes, it's sexy, but it's not just sexy. ”
Sun Hei clapped his hands and said, "Lao Xia, even Xiaoshu said so, what else do you have to say?"
Xia Qing looked at Yu Xiaoshu: "Xiaoshu, do you really want to change Ying Zhao?"
"Director Sun, Mr. Xia, I said before that the soul of "I Am Yu Huanshui" is Yu Huanshui, as long as this role can stand, then most of the success will be successful, but the success of a drama requires that the supporting roles are equally brilliant. ”
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "Zhao Juemin, Wei Guangjun, Wu Antong, Lu Fumeng, Gan Hong and even the actors of Gan Hong's family are all senior actors, and there is no problem with their acting skills, and the role of Liang Annie actually needs sex appeal the most, as long as the acting skills are not too slow......"
A really good director has to be a bit of alchemy.
An actor can not understand acting, but the director can train the actor.
Think about it, the same actor has explosive acting skills in the director's works, but in some directors' works, he has become a man with facial paralysis.
Think about the national teachers on the earth, even if Xiao Xianrou can still be trained properly, let alone newcomers, they can completely turn stones into gold.
This is also Yu Xiaoshu's judgment on Sun Hei.
Detail control is Sun Hei's advantage, but he also has many shortcomings, and Sun Hei is even worse in the area of training actors.
Let's put it this way, Sun Heixiu said that he is still a long way from a famous director, that is, he is still a long way from an excellent director.
Ying Zhao graduated from the opera, and her acting skills are online, just because Ying Zhao has not had many opportunities over the years, and she doesn't want to sell her breasts to get to the top, so her acting career has always been unsmooth.
Acting skills are honed by nurture.
This should be almost meaningless.
However, Yu Xiaoshu feels that Ying Zhao's performance in "I Am Yu Huanshui" is passable, and more importantly, Ying Zhao's sexiness seems to be inherently unique, and she is simply too suitable to play Liang Annie.
Stunner.
This was the first word that flashed in Yu Xiaoshu's mind when he saw Ying Zhao.
For this reason, he felt that there was no need to change Ying Zhao.
But Yu Xiaoshu won't say this too bluntly, after all, the crew Sun Hei is the director and the boss, and he, Yu Xiaoshu, the screenwriter, only has the right to suggest, and he can't take the lead.
Talented people are stubborn.
Especially directors like Sun Hei, they don't believe in others, they only believe in themselves.
Sun Hei's upper online drama stubbornly thinks that he is not in the right rhythm and thinks that he is not striving for perfection, but in the past few days, Yu Xiaoshu has watched Sun Hei's upper online drama, and the reason for hitting the street is not here.
Of course, these Yu Xiaoshu will not say it for the time being.
He has been cautious in his words and deeds these days, Sun Hei doesn't ask his opinion, he will never make a noise, and when Xia Qing doesn't need him, he will disappear.
Even at the beginning, the crew was still a little curious about Yu Xiaoshu and looked forward to it, after all, Yu Xiaoshu used to be a platinum screenwriter, and recently he had a big trouble with Ding Xiaoman.
As a result, who would have expected Yu Xiaoshu to be so quiet in the crew.
Except for holding a small notebook, the meeting is silent, and it is also quiet when shooting.
Even Sun Hei and Xia Qing ignored Yu Xiaoshu a little.
Today, Xia Qing left Yu Xiaoshu just thinking that Yu Xiaoshu was a screenwriter anyway, and he didn't think about what Yu Xiaoshu could say.
But now.
It's really confusing.
Xia Qing is like this, and Sun Hei is the same.
Yu Xiaoshu compared the advantages and disadvantages of the role of Liang Annie, the sexiness and acting skills required for this role to be 7 to 3, and at the same time explained the particularity of this character to Sun Hei and Xia Qing.
Some women, she doesn't need acting skills, she just needs to show her stunner-like figure.
This should not be among them, but in "I Am Yu Huanshui", her figure is another layer of auxiliary acting.
"Done. ”
Sun Hei hesitated for a moment and said, "Then don't change it." ”
"Xiaoshu, since you have such an idea, you should have said it earlier. ”
Xia Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he complained to Yu Xiaoshu: "If you have any opinions in the future, feel free to say it." ”
Sun Hei also said: "That's right, Xiaoshu, I said that we are people in the same boat, so there are some things that don't need to be scrupulous." ”
Yu Xiaoshu smiled: "I just thought of it." ”
What are you kidding?
Sometimes, a few polite words are just enough.
Don't take it seriously.
After talking about the matter, Sun Hei and Xia Qing took Yu Xiaoshu to have dinner together, and then talked about tomorrow's filming scene again during the meal.
Tomorrow, what will be filmed is the group scene between KTV and Gan Hong's family.
"Little tree, rest early tonight. ”
Sun Hei gently patted Yu Xiaoshu's shoulder and said, "Cheer up tomorrow." ”
Yu Xiaoshu also wants to go to bed early today.
But.
At 10 p.m., the doorbell rang in his room.
"Mr. Yu, I want to play the script with you. ”
Outside the door, a woman in pajamas held the script and said slightly lazily to Yu Xiaoshu.
......
