Chapter 2: I Want a Character
Except for the slightly larger size, the others are mediocre.
"That's it?" Director Jiang shook his head in disappointment, "This material is ordinary plastic, right? And the style and model are not right, at that time the buttons on the military uniform were 14mm, you are obviously big. Also, the color is ......"
Director Jiang said a lot, but his voice became quieter and quieter, and finally stopped complaining and froze in place.
Because, he always thought this button was weird.
It's weird, like the feeling he's been looking for!
"No, no, this button does seem to have some problems, where is it?" Director Jiang picked up the button and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.
"It's the size. Lu Yang knew that Director Jiang couldn't think of an answer for a while, otherwise his work would not have been born three years later in the previous life.
The next moment, Director Jiang slapped his thigh and jumped on the spot several times.
"I said, oh my God, it's size, it's proportions! I've been stuck with this question for so long, I, I'm ...... Genius, you kid is definitely a genius!"
"Fuck the fuck agent, boy, how about you do with me? Enter my props team, I'll make you the team leader within a year, if you do a good job, I'll let you be my props director and assistant director within three years!"
Director Jiang's words are amazing, if these words are heard by insiders, they will definitely set off a wave of overwhelming discussions to see what kind of amazing and brilliant characters can be recruited by Director Jiang like this.
Lu Yang pursed his lips and smiled.
Director Jiang's reaction was a bit unexpected to him, but it was also reasonable.
After all, Director Jiang is such a person, who seems to be five big and three coarse, but in fact, he is very literary and artistic. Coupled with a more serious character, it is not surprising that the requirements for the work have reached a strict level.
The problem of that military uniform troubled Director Jiang for three years in his previous life, and this spirit of excellence once shocked the industry. If he hadn't really made a masterpiece that was applauded and acclaimed, I don't know how many people would criticize this kind of behavior.
Now, Lu Yang has helped Director Jiang solve this "unsolvable" problem, and the more people who understand Director Jiang, the more they know the weight of this answer.
It sounds mysterious, but it's actually quite simple to say.
Director Jiang is 183 tall, and he wants to play the warlord of the Republic of China in his play, but he can't find a well-fitting military uniform. This problem, in the eyes of a normal director, is not a problem at all, but in Director Jiang's case, it is a big problem.
Originally, he thought that customizing military uniforms could solve it, but after the clothes were put on, Director Jiang found that something was still wrong, and as for what was wrong, he really couldn't say it for a while.
This responds to Party A's most troublesome sentence "it doesn't feel right".
And now, Lu Yang let Director Jiang know what the problem is.
It feels like it's right all of a sudden.
During the period of the Republic of China, including the Anti-Japanese War, because of the chaos of the army, there was not enough food and clothing, and normal people were generally thin and short. When the Neon Kingdom invaded and planted flowers, the average height of the army was less than 1.6 meters, which was an ironclad fact.
The gun and the clothes were the same, and the bayonet was above the head when the gun was held up.
Now the people are taller, you stand again, and the bayonet is up to the temple. Even if it's the same scene, but when it's filmed, it's still a different taste.
To perfectly replicate that feeling, you either have to shrink the actor, or you have to scale things up.
The reason why Director Jiang's military uniform feels wrong is that although the clothes are big, the buttons, medals and other details and decorations are still of the original size, and the proportions are naturally out of balance.
On your chest is a big red flower, in my chest it becomes a small red flower, which seems to be the same, but in fact it is different.
Two movies with the same subject matter but completely different flavors are often different in these details.
In the eyes of professional painters, photographers, filmmakers, and even film critics, who are proficient in picture composition or lens language, it may not be obvious at a glance, but it can often be perceived.
Therefore, although Lu Yang showed Director Jiang only an enlarged button, it woke up Director Jiang.
After going back, Director Jiang not only had to make changes in his clothing, including their tall guns, riding tools, etc., all of which had to be enlarged accordingly.
For a film that strives for excellence, these details make it unique and make it worthy of the word "meticulously crafted", which is called craftsmanship.
"Very good, thank you so much. Lu Yang, right, I'll just say that when you look at it, you feel that you are in love, and we are the same kind of people. Director Jiang sat down again and said with emotion, "This kind of detail is not noticed by normal people at all, and most of the audience can't see it, and many people persuade me not to drill this bull's horn." ”
"But I know that there must be people like me in this world, and there must be people who understand me. When I met you today, it means that my idea is right, and the movie made by someone Jiang is for an audience like you!"
These heartfelt words, at a glance, you know that you are heartfelt.
It can also be seen from this that the crew has been pressed not to turn on, and the pressure on Director Jiang is not small.
"By the way, give you a week to resign, and then come to me to report, how about it? As soon as this problem is solved, I will be able to start the machine next month!" Director Jiang was quite excited, and he couldn't wait to immediately notify the props team to prepare again, and then start the machine immediately.
Who knew that Lu Yang still shook his head.
Director Jiang was stunned.
Lu Yang, refused?
Rejected him and directed Jiang?
This...... Is it because he wants to get away with it?
If this is the case, then Director Jiang will express his disappointment in Lu Yang's character.
"Thank you, Director Jiang, but as I said at the beginning, I am an agent. I'm here just to get a chance for my artists. Lu Yang spoke.
Director Jiang has a hard time accepting this answer, but compared to the worst case, this is not bad, is it?
Lu Yang's persistence won the favor of Director Jiang, who was also persistent.
"I don't care, anyway, the door of my crew is open to you at any time. Director Jiang is in a high position and knows how to express his emotions, but he can't chill the hearts of others.
Some promises that were dispensable to him might be very important to Lu Yang, a newcomer, so he spoke: "Of course, it was an invitation from a friend. And now, in return for the reminder you just made, you ...... What role do you want, say. ”
"Heroine. Lu Yang's face did not change color, and his heart did not beat.
Forehead......
Director Jiang's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One thing to say, his mentality exploded.
Shouldn't I have installed that heroic pen just now?
Now it's embarrassing.
Do you want the actor?
Joke!
Do you really think that the director can decide all the roles in a play?
On the heroine's side, there have already been several candidates, which one is not one or two golds in hand? Not to mention that a new heroine, even if a new auditioner appears, it will cause an uproar.
In the entertainment industry, not everyone can be the heroine.
He is not filming a low-cost idol drama, how can he find a newcomer at random?
Director Jiang, who even strives for excellence in props, has no reason to be sloppy in his role.
"That, who is your artist?" Director Jiang asked more, thinking that if he had heard of the other party's name, he would still symbolically give a character with lines.
As for the favor of that button, I'll pay it back later.
The right thing is the right thing, and the favor belongs to the favor, and if you can't distinguish this, there will be a problem after all.
"Lin Menglan. Lu Yang spat out three words from his mouth.
This time, Director Jiang's face was even more ugly.
This name, he didn't just hear it, it was like thunder, but...... You might as well give me a little transparent.
