Chapter 519: Preparation
When I first met Han Jue, Han Jue had a script from nowhere, and he was just a crossover screenwriter. Director Sun felt that Han Jue had the kind of arrogant face that an artist couldn't listen to the opinions of others. Sure enough, because of the problem of the script, Han Jue and the director had a conflict, and only one of the two people could stay.
Although Director Sun also thinks that the original script is better, what can he do?
After seeing too much power in the circle, he thought that Han Jue was going to leave the script and leave.
But Han Jue stayed unexpectedly, and it was the director who left.
met Han Jue again, and Han Jue became a director.
Although Han Jue is not a stranger to the operation of a movie, he is not a layman in command, as if he had made a lot of preparations before the start of filming, but the traces of Han Jue's first time as a director could not be hidden from him.
It is not easy to protect the law for a rookie director, and it is even more difficult to protect the law for a cross-border rookie director with his own personality. The remuneration this time is very considerable, Director Sun was recommended by Xia Yuan, and he came to earn extra money, and he didn't want to lose his job. He is very skilled in watching people cook, and he knows that for a newcomer cross-border director like Han Jue who has no fear, he knows that he can't work against Han Jue.
Han Jue showed a tough face from the beginning, unkind, and every tree in the camera felt that it was an eyesore and had to be cut down, so that a bunch of people had the feeling of being with the king like a tiger.
Although Director Sun was also trembling, he didn't feel that Han Jue had done something wrong. The job of a film director is to visualize the script, so he must give the right direction for the cinematography, lighting, recording, art, costumes, props and makeup. A rookie director, if he fails to control the crew, the movie is equivalent to losing half.
What is surprising is that Han Jue has made rapid progress, as if he has a professional foundation, and studying the camera every night has reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, among them, Han Jue's love for movies cannot be faked.
Director Sun saw Han Jue's talent, and couldn't help but put forward a little suggestion, thinking that some places could be better, but Han Jue refused with a smile, and Director Sun didn't force it, and never took the initiative to guide him since. Only answer the questions raised by Han Jue. More often, it is to fill in the gaps for Han Jue, propose some technical adjustments, and do not interfere in creation, even if he sees that Han Jue is imitating and learning other people's storyboards, without thinking about himself.
If Han Jue has been like this, the fate between him and Director Sun will be like this.
Han Jue woke up and changed in the wedding scene after the rain, found Director Sun, and wanted to systematically learn the craft of directing.
Director Sun, who had changed his view of Han Jue, did not hide his clumsiness, and taught Han Jue little by little. There is no name of master and apprentice, but there is the reality of master and apprentice.
When the film was finished and the post-production was completed, according to the plan, Director Sun was originally going to take a few days off and put into the next job.
After sending the movie to [Zhumen], the post-production team had a small dinner, and at the dining table, Han Jue said to him with wine: "Let's make a movie." ”
Director Sun thought it was Han Jue who was booking his next trip.
As a result, Han Jue said that he planned to set up a new film production company with Jalens Xia Yuan, which was the kind of serious one, not short of money, only lack of people, and planned to sign him and ask him to be a director to make a movie.
"I ...... I'm almost fifty years old, no, no, no, no......" Director Sun put down his wine glass and waved his hand again and again.
"You round it up...... What's the matter even if it's fifty," Han Jue looked serious, "What is a late bloomer? ”
Director Sun looked a little dazed.
"You are. Han Jue poured a full glass of wine and touched Director Sun's cup.
"Let me think, let me think about it......" Director Sun muttered, and the hand holding the wine glass began to tremble.
Han Jue said with sincere regret on his face: "Director Sun, I mean seriously, your talent, it's really a waste to be an assistant director." ”
Director Sun raised the wine glass again and again, and finally raised his head and drank it dry, not enough, picked up the wine bottle and drank it bitterly, and when he put down the wine bottle after drinking, he had already burst into tears.
Back at home, the next day, he called Xia Yuan.
After that, a director named Sun Xian became the second director signed by [Tinder] Film Productions.
......
......
Some directors often shoot a lot of shots in some inconsequential places, and ask him why, but he can't tell why, he just wants to shoot, and he feels that this is what the movie is going to be. It's doing useless work and dragging down the rhythm. You don't want to do this, just remove the unwanted places. When you were filming "Traveler", the first half was fine, and you had a lot of ideas about what each shot was going to look like, there were very few waste shots, and the second half was not good, and you kept doing addition. When you go out this time, you have to keep this in mind and try to shoot as cleanly as possible. ”
"Noted down. When I watch "Traveler" now, I also feel that some of the scenes in it are redundant. Han Jue nodded and followed Sun Xian to the company. They nodded hello to the front desk, turned the corner, and walked down the promenade. On one side of the corridor is a large area of floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down to the bustling streetscape, and on the other side is a wall, near the top of the wall near the road, hanging a poster of "Time and Space Traveler". Behind is a large area of white space, and there is nothing. Based on the size of a poster, you can probably hang about 40 posters.
This is a wall of work created by Jarenz, which shows that he is very ambitious, and he does not think that the company will survive such a distant future. Wang Zhi smiled and said very good. Xia Yuan didn't object, but said that the wall was too ugly to be empty, and asked Han Jue and Sun Xian to hurry up and make a movie to fill the place with posters.
Han Jue and Sun Xian are under a lot of pressure, one person a year, and it will take twenty years.
You can only take your time.
In less than half a year, there will soon be a second and third on this wall.
"But in my new movie, it's quite difficult to get empty shots, so it's mysterious, right?" Han Jue said with a smile.
"It's up to you later. If you don't handle it well in the later stage, the movie will still not be clean. Sun Xian and Han Jue passed by the wall of works and were walking towards the conference room.
"I understand. Han Jue said, and then said to Sun Xian, "Master Sun, do you have any young domestic actors to recommend?"
"Young actor......" Sun Xian thought as he touched his chin.
Han Jue and Sun Xian's new movies are all desktop camera-style pseudo-documentaries, the actors appear throughout the film, and the shots are sometimes similar to close-ups, although commercial films do not have such high requirements for acting skills, but the actors must at least withstand the test of close-ups.
Talented actors like Jack and Jennifer aren't something that can be met casually every year. And this time, in order to maximize profits, Xia Yuan suggested that the protagonist use Chinese actors. Han Jue, who is not familiar with the domestic film and television market, feels very troublesome.
After the news that he was preparing for a second film was released, a large number of people contacted him through various channels every day and invited him to various events.
There are domestic ones, and there are foreign ones.
Han Jue was simply annoyed by all kinds of entertainment invitations, but some people thought that Han Jue had taken off some kind of restraint and gave him all kinds of hints because he and Zhang Yiman got off the car from "Let's Be in Love".
Han Jue was so miserable that he could only leave the old nest where he had been staying for more than half a month and come to finalize the actor as soon as possible.
Sun Xian has been in the circle for decades, and there is nothing to say about his connections and intelligence. Han Jue came to ask Sun Xian if he had any recommended actors, so that he could save some time.
Sun Xian nodded solemnly, clapped his hands violently, and said, "I thought of it!"
Han Jue looked at him expectantly.
"The [Smart Recommendation] on the side of the video website can make a few suicide-related videos to reflect my daughter's mental state!" Sun Xian said excitedly.
“......”
"Ah, yes, yes, actors...... Well, the actor...... I'll think about it first, and I'll get back to you later!"
"Good ......"
With an excited look, Sun Xian muttered about the flash of inspiration just now, and hurriedly walked towards the conference room.
Sun Xian failed miserably twice, cherished this third opportunity, and was very nervous, at this time the day of booting was not a few days, he became more and more nervous, and he had to come to the company every day to be busy so as not to fall into anxiety.
Han Jue can only pray that this success will allow Sun Xian to regain his lost self-confidence.
After Han Jue and Sun Xian separated at the front of the conference room, he walked towards Xia Yuan's office.
Once inside, the sound of a symphony rang out. Xia Yuan listened to the song early in the morning.
"Xia Yuan, at the end of this year, will our company hold an annual meeting?" Han Jue asked as soon as he entered the door.
"you. ”
"It's so impersonal. ”
"It's okay to have a human touch, don't go to Hangzhou on New Year's Eve to present awards, and don't go to meet Zhang Yiman, how about coming to the annual meeting?"
"I mean, your answer is so impersonal...... It is right not to hold the annual meeting, we must not be polluted by the capitalism brought by Lao Jia. ”
"If you are so conscious, then you should be very happy about this. ”
"What's ?......?"
"Your Dark Web ad is hard to find. Xia Yuan smiled, "Every software in it has problems, it is controlled by hackers, and after the movie is released, the company is afraid that it will send a lawyer's letter." ”
Han Jue's face turned pale, and his body was shaky.
"In "Internet Lost", [Wudao Video] and [Guhuo Search] are all positive images, and the cost is almost recovered by advertising. ”
"So if the software that hackers are playing with and applauding in "The Dark Web" is their competitor's, can we ask them for a favor?"
"You have the essence of capitalism," Xia Yuan felt that Han Jue was probably crazy about money, "We can't make this black money." ”
"I'm just kidding you...... How can you still take it seriously. Han Jue said.
"Alright, find me something. ”
"It's nothing, just ask how the preparation of "Dark Web" is, I want to make a movie as soon as possible to change my mood. ”
"Mostly indoor shots, very fast. You find the actors first. Xia Yuan said.
"Do you have any recommendations?"
Xia Yuan thought for a moment, "The actor's words...... One of them was so impressive that I almost interviewed him. ”
"Why don't you interview? If you want to interview, then the acting skills are probably not bad, right? If there is an actor in our gang, it will be much more convenient. ”
"He got into a car accident later, rested for a long time, and then stopped filming. ”
"Okay. ”
"Aren't you going to Hangzhou for New Year's Eve, you can talk to him. ”
"Good. Han Jue nodded, sat opposite Xia Yuan, listened to the tune with her for a few minutes, felt that there was nothing wrong, and prepared to leave.
"By the way," Xia Yuan called Han Jue, "You and Weng Nanxi really have nothing, right?"
Han Jue looked directly at Xia Yuan, shook his head and said, "No." ”
"What about you...... Be careful?" Xia Yuan smiled, "It seems that she is also going to Hangzhou for New Year's Eve." ”
