Chapter 742: Teaching Zhou Xingchi to Act (4000+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription)
This is a world of artificial utopia, and in this movie, we need to convey to the audience a world where everyone is acting, and Chu Xing is real!"
Before the crew of "The World of Chu Xing" started filming, Wu Jianye emphasized the filming of this movie to the crew for the last time!
"The World of Chu Xing" is different from other movies, this movie is like a matryoshka doll, layer upon layer.
Chu Xing is the most core layer, only he is real!
is the center of the world, the protagonist of the show,
The rest of the cast is on the penultimate level, they're cooperating with the filming of this TV show, and they know it all!
And those extras are the penultimate layer, and in the film's setting, this group of people are tourists and one of the company's financial resources.
The audience outside the TV is the penultimate layer, Chu Xing's daily life is their daily life, and what Chu Xing does is what they want to do in their minds.
The outermost layer is actually the director who has the truth in his hands, he created this out-of-the-world town, created Chu Xing, he arranged everyone in the show, and by arranging these people, he affected the life trajectory of going out, and even the audience was controlled by him through the language of the lens!
It can be said that in the whole movie, the program director is like a god who controls the whole town!
Now Zhou Xingchi and others already know the plot of the whole movie, and for them, everyone is shocked that Wu Jianye thought of such a movie story.
Privately, some people are even asking what it would be like to live in such a world.
"The World of Chu Xing" did not sound the gong and drum when it was launched, in Wu Jianye's speech, "The World of Chu Xing" was turned on, and the entire crew except for Zhou Xingchi, the rest of the stage and behind the scenes were domestic, and they didn't feel anything.
Zhou Xingchi followed the local customs and didn't mention anything.
Originally, "Popular Movie" contacted Tangting Culture and wanted to send someone over to follow the filming, just like when filming "New Dragon Gate Inn", but this time Wu Jianye did not agree.
When filming "New Dragon Gate Inn", Wu Jianye also needed magazines such as "Popular Film" to help promote it, but now, there is no need for it.
It's not that the movie "The World of Chu Xing" is not needed, but at this stage, there is no need for the story content of this movie to be transmitted.
As Wu Jianye decided before, this movie will still take the same secrecy measures as "Jurassic Park".
The filming community, after a month of reconstruction, has met the requirements of Wu Jianye's film.
Because it is necessary to take care of overseas audiences, the layout here is better than the situation in China.
"The environment here is really good, surrounded by mountains and rivers, plus the weather, it must be good to spend the New Year here during the New Year!"
Zhao Fei said to Wu Jianye with a smile, now everyone is debugging the equipment, and the actors are familiar with the plot, and it is not long before the official start of filming!
Wu Jianye smiled, "If you like it here, come over in a few years and buy a house here!"
Qiong Province is indeed a suitable place for vacation, otherwise it would not become a lot of local tyrants in the future to choose to spend the New Year here.
Zhao Fei was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that the housing prices here will ......?"
Wu Jianye nodded, and said: "The bubble will definitely burst, and then the housing prices here will fall, and now the housing prices here are almost six thousand, and there is no problem with rising to seven thousand, but when the bubble bursts, it is actually time to buy the bottom, but this time to buy the bottom is not easy to control, if you have a little spare money in your hands, you can buy a few houses here, of course, don't think about it before 95 years!"
In fact, the housing prices in Qiong Province once rose to 7,500 yuan per square meter in 93 years, and the wages of workers at this time only just rose to about 300 yuan!
The two just chatted casually, and the people in front of and behind the scenes of the movie were almost ready!
The field manager took the clapper board and shouted: "The first shot of "The World of Chu Xing" starts shooting!"
The first thing the movie shot is Chu Xing's daily life.
Wu Jianye sat in front of the camera, watching Zhou Xingchi in the camera wearing pajamas, and was talking his lines there in front of the camera.
However, after seeing Zhou Xingchi's performance, Wu Jianye frowned slightly.
It's not that Zhou Xingchi's performance is not focused enough, on the contrary, Wu Jianye can feel that Zhou Xingchi's performance at this time is very serious.
Zhou Xingchi's achievements in movies are too great, but it is easy to be ignored about his acting skills, in fact, Zhou Xingchi's acting skills are not the slightest problem, and they are very advanced.
It's just that comedy-style movies will never be favored by academics.......
Zhou Xingchi is like this, and so is Jim Carrey.
"Click!"
Wu Jianye stopped Zhou Xingchi's performance and slowly came to Zhou Xingchi, who was a little confused.
For the performance just now, Zhou Xingchi thought that there was no problem, and the moment he shouted to turn on, he entered Chu Xing's world, for him, Chu Xing was him!
I don't understand why Wu Jianye stopped his performance!
"Xingzai, your style needs to be restrained, I know what your nonsensical style is in Xiangjiang, this movie is not the same as any of your previous films, I need you to maintain your own style, but your style needs to serve the style of the whole movie, that is to say, your personal style can no longer be as strong as other movies you have shot before!"
Wu Jianye preached to Zhou Xingchi.
For Zhou Xingchi, Wu Jianye doesn't need to analyze with him how to act in a certain shot at all, but to let him understand the style of the whole movie, and at the same time help him design the shooting style of the whole movie!
Among the Chinese actors, there are two actors, who are special.
Their movies, no matter how the story of the movie changes, how the characters of the movie change, but as long as the audience sees the movie, they know that this is their movie, and others cannot replace it.
This is Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi!
Cheng Long's movie is an action comedy, although in the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, Cheng Long was trying to change his acting path because of his age, but his previous image was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and every transformation was actually a failed process for Cheng Long.
That's why Cheng Long often says that this is his last action movie!
Zhou Xingchi actually has a similar problem, when he decided not to appear again in the later stage, when he was just at ease to be a director, in the movies he directed, it can be said that everyone is the incarnation of Zhou Xingchi.
It's just that there is only one Zhou Xingchi, and no one can replace him, so the reputation of his movies will be inferior to one another, but do you say those movies are really bad?
In fact, there is only one reason for the bad reputation, and that is that the actor is not Zhou Xingchi!
What Wu Jianye has to do now is to let Zhou Xingchi restrain his personal style, which is actually a very painful process for Zhou Xingchi.
At this time in Xiangjiang, Zhou Xingchi had already achieved fame, and his personal style had also been formed, so it was obviously a little difficult for him to suddenly change his style.
However, Zhou Xingchi did not refute Wu Jianye's suggestion, but nodded seriously and said, "Okay, Director Wu I know!"
Zhou Xingchi is an actor who likes to accept the opinions of others, of course, the person who puts forward the opinion must be recognized by Zhou Xingchi.
In the later stage, why many actors who cooperated with Zhou Xingchi said that Zhou Xingchi was difficult to cooperate with and couldn't listen to their opinions, it was because by that time, Zhou Xingchi already knew the difference between himself and these people.
A person who regards making movies as art, a person who sees making movies only as a means of making a living, how could Zhou Xingchi listen to the opinions of those who only see all this as a means of making a living?
Wu Jianye said: "The convergence style here is not to let you completely abandon your previous style, but to reduce your performance style to a certain extent, this degree needs you to control, but if it doesn't meet my requirements, I will scold!"
The more capable people are, the higher Wu Jianye's requirements for him will be, only in this way can their potential be better stimulated, and Zhou Xingchi's potential has obviously not been fully stimulated.
Zhou Xingchi's face did not have any dissatisfaction because of Wu Jianye's words, Wu Jianye's style of directing movies, whether it is domestic or foreign, everyone knows it.
For Wu Jianye, Zhou Xingchi admired it in his heart.
Since his debut, Wu Jianye has not been called a high-output director, with only five movies, but all five films are high-quality films, from early literary films to later Hollywood blockbusters, which can always bring different feelings to the audience.
This is the reason why Zhou Xingchi admires!
Then Wu Jianye walked back to his position and continued to shoot on the camera!
After listening to Wu Jianye's opinion, Zhou Xingchi obviously restrained his personal style, but in Wu Jianye's opinion, it was still not enough.
So the first day of the movie was spent in the process of countless stops.
Many of the people present who worked with Wu Jianye for the first time also felt Wu Jianye's severity in film shooting.
In fact, in the eyes of many people on the scene, Zhou Xingchi is already very good in the later stages of filming today, without the exaggeration that they are not used to, but Wu Jianye still thinks it is not enough.
Sometimes, Zhou Xingchi's performance even excessively restrained his style, which will not satisfy Wu Jianye.
Wang Xiaoshuai, as the assistant director of the movie, watched Wu Jianye directing seriously next to Wu Jianye, which was also a learning process for him.
In fact, Wang Xiaoshuai's ability is enough to direct a movie by himself, but when Wu Jianye found him, Wang Xiaoshuai still chose to join the movie "The World of Chu Xing" without hesitation.
For a rookie director who has just debuted and has not yet directed a film independently, it is definitely a rare opportunity to be able to study by Wu Jianye's side.
In the movie "The World of Chu Xing", in fact, there is not only Wang Xiaoshuai, an assistant director, but also two other assistant directors, both of whom are outstanding young talents discovered by Tangting Culture.
Wu Jianye can say that he is not only cultivating excellent actors who can be known by more people for Huaxia, but also cultivating more directors!
Because of the appearance of Wu Jianye, the domestic film environment has changed a lot.
Many people who Wu Jianye has never heard of have also invested in the film industry.
In the evening, Wu Jianye was in his room, studying the next filming process of "The World of Chu Xing" with Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhao Fei and others.
In fact, the shooting of movies is like this, when there is no shooting task, whether it is an actor or a director, in fact, there is still plenty of time, but once they enter the shooting process, their workload is geometrically increased.
"In today's later shooting, Zhou Xingchi has slowly begun to familiarize himself with the style of the movie, and now what we have to do is to let other actors be familiar with Zhou Xingchi's style, and at the same time let them keep their own state!"
Zhao Fei proposed.
Zhao Fei, as the cinematographer of the film, can be said to be the closest behind-the-scenes personnel to the actor's performance, a successful cinematography is not only the control of the film lens, he can also provide more opinions to the film.
At this time, Zhao Fei has already matured, for example, in this movie, in fact, Zhao Fei is not the only photographer, there are several other photographers, according to domestic rules, these people can actually be regarded as Zhao Fei's apprentices.
At this time, Zhao Fei also had his own photography team!
His opinion is still very pertinent!
Wu Jianye nodded, then looked at Wang Xiaoshuai again, and asked, "Xiaoshuai, what about you, what do you think?"
Wang Xiaoshuai was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Wu Jianye was consciously cultivating himself, and hurriedly said: "I still feel that Zhou Xingchi's performance is a bit exaggerated, although he has consciously lowered his personal style in today's later shooting, but many times it will be subconsciously revealed in some small places!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "What this movie wants to do is not to completely abandon Zhou Xingchi's personal style, if this is the case, I will not find Zhou Xingchi to star in this movie, a director can have his own pursuits, and at the same time, he must also consider the audience and investors." ”
Speaking of this, Wu Jianye looked at Wang Xiaoshuo and continued: "I hope that in the future, when you direct a movie by yourself, when you pursue your personal style, you must also consider the audience and investors, the film director can have his own pursuits, but the premise must be to make the audience satisfied with your content!"
Wang Xiaoshuai frowned slightly and said, "But if that's the case, isn't it a compromise?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Movies are not a kind of self-congratulatory art, if you just pursue the so-called art in your heart, and no one watches the movies you make, then who will invest in you later? Who will go to watch your movies?"
