"Stop. Du Caige watched the content just shot several times, gave Dong Wenbin a thumbs up, and said in English: "Very good, there is progress." Work hard, and I'll be able to meet my requirements in no time. ”

"Director Du, can you take a break?" Dong Wenbin said with a wry smile in English.

He is faithfully maintaining his character: he is a Chinese American who does not understand Chinese, and he met Du Caige when he inspected Dream Chase Entertainment on behalf of the "Green Mile Miracle" company.

was attracted by Du Caige's script and strongly asked to join the crew and experience the feeling of making a movie.

This is to keep Shen Jinsong from being vigilant and not letting the previous layout go down the drain.

Du Caige also specially adjusted the script and set Dong Wenbin's role as an international student who applied for Dahua School because he liked Chinese culture.

Although he is usually in front of Du Caige, Dong Wenbin is always in shape.

But on the set, after seeing Du Caige's "tyrant on the set" side, Dong Wenbin adjusted himself very interestingly.

In fact, he himself is such a person, friendship is friendship, work is work, and friendship must not be allowed to affect work.

So when Du Caige seemed to be a different person, cold, tough, and unemotional, he felt completely understandable.

He also knows very well that after leaving the set, Du Caige is still his good brother, and he can say whatever he wants without any taboos.

Du Caige glanced at him, and saw that he was indeed a little weak, so he nodded, and said to him gently in English first: "It's okay, Steve, you can rest." ”

He also announced in Mandarin: "All, rest for 30 minutes." The person in charge of each group checks the preparation of their own group, props, costumes, scenery group, etc., and is more serious, so as not to let small mistakes affect the filming progress!"

As soon as his voice fell, this place instantly turned into a vegetable market.

The noise created by the crew of more than 100 people can literally tear down the roof.

Several people walked towards Dong Wenbin, an international friend.

Although Dong Wenbin did not make a big deal of it, he did not deliberately hide it, many people know that he is the deputy music director of "Green Mile Miracle", and his family has hundreds of millions of dollars in assets, and he is a standard rich second generation.

So don't have too many people around him all day long.

Even if he can't climb him, even if he leaks a little oil and water from his fingers, it is enough for ordinary people to eat a full stomach.

Du Caige smiled, retracted his gaze, picked up the mineral water next to him, and didn't know who drank it, he unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured it out.

"Why are you drinking my water!" Xu Qingya said coquettishly beside her.

Although she didn't have a role in this while, she still joined the crew and carefully observed and learned from other people's performances.

When she has free time, she will also go to various groups to understand the situation, touch the camera, learn to fiddle with props, help set up the scenery together, happily move things and do chores, and absorb nutrients like a sponge absorbing water.

Du Caige glanced at her, took two more sips, and then said, "Handy." Just go get another bottle, I'm not going to be reluctant to open up the water. ”

Xu Qingya wanted to say something. At this time, Ouyang Liyan walked over and smiled: "How is Xiao Tian?"

"Tian Ying is very good," Du Caige said sincerely, "It would be nice if I could sign him, I would love to cooperate with him for a long time." ”

Tian Ying is a photographer introduced by Ouyang Liyan, graduated from the Magic Shadow Photography Department, and is a young talent in his first year.

At that time, Du Caige called Ouyang Liyan to apologize, saying that he would play the leading role, and the original position of the protagonist for Ouyang Liyan could only be blown up.

Ouyang Liyan didn't mind at all, laughed heartily, said that it was not bad to play a supporting role, and introduced Tian Ying backhanded.

He said that Tian Ying was the most talented student in the photography department in recent years, but one day it was not good, that is, her temper was more lonely.

It's a lonely crutch, not an oddity.

Both stubborn and withdrawn.

Maybe talented people will be a little different, right?

Tian Ying is very bad at communicating with people.

In terms of art, he has his own insights and doesn't listen to the director's adjustment.

When he disagrees with the director, if the director can't convince him, he may not necessarily do what the director asks.

You know, the director is the absolute authority on the set.

Even if it turns out in the end, he follows his own ideas, and the shooting effect is indeed better.

The director will not tolerate it either.

So although he is talented, he does not have a good reputation in this industry.

Such an excellent cinematographer, now he can't find a big director to work with.

"Haha," Ouyang Liyan said with a smile, "If you really want to sign him, I'll help you say it." ”

"Thank you so much, Mr. Yang. ”

"Eh, you don't need to thank me, I should thank you," Ouyang Liyan waved his hand, "Tian Ying, this kid, I really admire him, but with his character, there are few directors who can tolerate him." When you sign him, you reward him with food. ”

"It's not that I reward him with food, he is God's food. Du Caige is not exaggerating at all.

Every director is actually good at fiddling with the camera.

Du Caige feels that his photography skills are also very good.

But compared with Tian Ying, it is really the difference between elementary school students and doctoral students.

Although Tian Ying does have a little problem, sometimes he is disobedient and stubborn, and Du Caige often has no time to persuade him patiently.

But Du Caige also found a way to deal with it, that is, to shoot a few more.

Take a few shots according to your Tian Ying's ideas, and then shoot a few according to my ideas, this will always work, right?

Tian Ying has no opinion on this.

Although he is stubborn and withdrawn, he is not the kind of person who is completely unsophisticated.

He can accept the compromise solution given by Du Caige.

So since the official start of filming, the cooperation between Du Caige and Tian Ying has been quite pleasant.

The crew now has three camera crews, Tian Ying is in charge of one of them, with a few assistants, and the pictures he shot are the most satisfying to Du Caige.

Ouyang Liyan chatted with Du Caige for a few words and walked away.

In this play, he plays an important supporting role - the villain.

is equivalent to the role of Bao Xiaobai in the original "Old Boy".

Of course, Du's version of "Old Boy" is completely different from the original in terms of plot and expression.

Only some similar kernels remained.

With a filming fund of 700,000 RMB for Xiao Yang's version of "Old Boy", of course, it is impossible to shoot too exquisite pictures and a huge and magnificent plot.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice.

Therefore, when Xiao Yang was directing, he highlighted funny and nonsensical to create plot conflicts and visual impact.

The exaggerated plot and performance methods, as well as the funny and nonsensical style, constitute the tone of Xiao Yang's version of "Old Boy".

For example, in the chaotic classroom and classroom at the beginning (in China, this scene is unlikely to happen in reality), Xiao Dabao used a lighter instead of blowing candles for his birthday, learned MJ to dance by learning martial arts secrets, pulled bricks out of a drawer to fight, and threw a guitar into the river and could continue to use it after a long time......

And the old couple's wedding......

It's all exaggerated and funny to the extreme, and they don't even pay much attention to reality and logic.

Of course, it is also very interesting to make such a micro-film, with a unique style.

But Du Caige's Du version of "Those Years" is a realistic style, and since Du version of "Old Boy" is a sequel, there is continuity in the plot, and it must also be consistent in style.

Therefore, when Du Caige was shooting, he also used a realistic style, not exaggerated or nonsensical.

And because the Du version of "Old Boy" tells the story of the Ghost Face Band, in terms of plot, it basically has nothing in common with Xiao Yang's version of "Old Boy".

Or it can be said that there are similarities in the plot structure, such as being young and frivolous and having dreams, and then losing to reality, living with firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Then, because of an accident, the old brothers decided to get together again and chase their dreams.

Is it similar to the main story line of Xiao Yang's version of "Old Boy"?

But in terms of details, it's completely different.

If it was really the same, Du Caige would not have filmed it.

Making movies, he is professional.

There is no need to carry it.

Du Caige sat in the director's chair, holding his cheeks, and fell into deep thought.

Of course, what he thinks about is nothing more than the next shooting.

A thick hand slapped his shoulder.

Du Caige looked back and said with a smile: "Yongzi, what kind of expression is this?"

Zou Guoyong said: "I saw Lao Dong shoot so well......"

Seeing Du Caige give him a wild look, Zou Guoyong came back to his senses.

Dong Wenbin is now pretending to be unfamiliar with him, and he shouldn't use such a affectionate title as "Old Dong".

"Steve Dong's performance is so good, I'm under a lot of pressure. He reversed his words.

"It's okay, you think about it more first, and when you shoot your scene, I will guide you well. Du Caige comforted.

Du Caige has always been like this, he will be very strict with excellent actors, put pressure on each other, and let them show their best.

For actors who are not very good at acting, he will be more preferential and lenient, so that the other party can shoot relatively good results while relaxing.

A director, if he asks Xiaolu according to Chen Daoming's standards, it is unrealistic.

If the fawn doesn't perform well, it's not the fawn's fault, but the director.

Don't you know how the fawn's acting skills are? As a director, you should take this into account when designing the shots.

If you know that Xiaolu's acting skills are average, but you use him for his box office appeal (or because of the requirements of the management), but you always give him close-ups, close-ups, close-ups, and you always shoot his eyes when he has no drama in his eyes, do you say that you, the director, deliberately ruined this movie?

Du Caige is not worried about Zou Guoyong's ability to act.

Under his command, he can naturally shoot the desired effect, and that is enough.

As an important supporting role, Zou Guoyong can get a salary of more than 70,000 yuan, which is not much, which is only equivalent to the profit of his store for a few months.

But making movies is a very novel and interesting experience for him, and he can relive that time with his old buddies, so Zou Guoyong is naturally willing to participate.

So far, his mentality is very good, but he hasn't overcome his nervousness yet, so Du Caige hasn't filmed his important scenes for the time being, only let him keep watching, and give him a few shots when filming long shots and group scenes, so that he can slowly get familiar with the atmosphere of the crew.
