Chapter 264: Are You Trying to Kill All the Audience?
Beauty Filter: When used on an actor, it can increase their appearance attribute by 50% during filming, lasting for a drama and only working in front of the camera.
This is the "legal cheating" work given by the unscrupulous mentor in the game back then, and Rin Chihara weighed it there for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, he almost turned around and went straight to find Satoko Ueki, who was now in a break time and was staying in her lounge - as a starring role, even if she had low qualifications, she still had the treatment she deserved, and her lounge was an exclusive trailer that made it easy to move between famous scenes and locations.
But Rin Chihara took a few steps, and the cautious part of his personality took effect again, and his steps slowed slightly.
Things can't just think about the good, the system has not been very reliable, this prop has not been used by itself, and now it is entangled with the real world, will there be any side effects after using it?
Will it cause any "supernatural" phenomenon and let yourself be caught for dissection?
It's just that the situation is not the best shooting effect at the moment, but the situation is not so bad that you have to take a risk, so should you use such uncontrollable props?
He still likes to put everything within the scope of what he can control, he didn't want to rely too much on this system before, and it's the same now, although I really hope that the shooting effect can be better, and the peerless beauty of "Liang Ji" can be filmed, which can make the audience feel amazing, but ...... What if everything gets out of hand?
Maybe there should be no such props, as Iori Murakami said, don't have any distractions, and honestly shoot as planned, but...... Still trying to maximize the ratings!
Is the risk proportional to the return, and can it support risk-taking?
He was thinking seriously there, weighing the pros and cons - you can't just rely on a hot brain, you need to be more cautious when you have good conditions, even if you want to take a risk, you should think about it thoroughly, otherwise it will be a reckless man - but he hasn't weighed it yet, the shooting site is busy, these shots are finished, and the crew is moving the equipment to prepare for the next set of shots.
The next set of shots involves Safuko, she also got out of the trailer, makeup artist and costume artist followed her for the final touch-up and finishing, and Chihara Rin sat behind the director's monitor, but still let Tsumura Haruki direct - the first time to shoot according to the storyboard, he didn't need to care, after the shooting, see the effect, if the effect is not good and needs to be fine-tuned, then it is not too late for him to discuss it with Tsumura.
Tsumura Haruki is a veteran, and with the storyboard script that has been repeatedly discussed before as a support, he is not in a hurry, and the command staff are in place, and then they start filming the six feathers Ryoko entering and leaving the farmhouse, and find that it is very likely that there will be no harvest due to the drought this year, and he is ready to dedicate himself to pleasing the gods.
This is a very important set of shots, it is a foreshadowing before the small climax of the rain dance, Chihara Rin sat in front of the monitor and watched it very carefully, and the first shooting failed, Safuko's expression was not in place, Tsumura Haruki called a stop and let the personnel return to their original positions. Rin Chihara didn't care, this kind of thing is normal, but it's relatively rare to go once.
Tsumura Haruki instructed Safuko to adjust the state, and then reshoot, this time it was much smoother, Tsumura Haruki also stared at the monitor to watch the effect carefully, gesticulating in his hand. A camera began to slowly approach along the improvised track to give a close-up of Safuko's face, and the gaffer in charge of filling in the light also began to move the position in order to make Safuko's facial shadow softer and more layered, while Safuko frowned slightly, looked at the scorching sun that brought the drought and smiled softly at the camera - according to the script, this smile was for the old woman who chased her, but the shot was like this.
This set of shots is about to be completed, although it was reshot once, it can still be said that the whole thing is very smooth, and there is no group of shots for half a day. But Tsumura Haruki was happy, and Rin Chihara stopped coldly.
There was silence in the field, and everyone didn't know what went wrong, and Tsumura Haruki was even more taken aback. He didn't find the problem, so he hurriedly whispered, "Chihara-sensei, where do you need to adjust?"
Rin Chihara looked at Safuko's smile on the monitor, didn't speak, and fell into deep thought again - bastard, this is not the effect he wants, it's not that there is anything wrong with Safuko's acting, it's just not beautiful enough! It's not beautiful enough!
If you can't figure out a way, you can only admit it, but now it seems that there is a way......
If you have the opportunity, you can do better, even if there are a few side effects, you have to try it, otherwise you will be too unwilling!
He didn't speak for a while, and Tsumura Haruki couldn't help it, and shouted softly, "Chihara-sensei?"
Rin Chihara came back to his senses and ordered directly: "Suspend filming, let everyone rest for a while, I want to talk to Safuko." ”
Tsumura Haruki doesn't know why, but Rin Chihara is the head of the crew, and he is the big boss, and there is not much difference between speaking in the crew and the holy decree, and you have to listen to it if you don't manage it or understand it. He hurriedly ordered to rest, and beckoned Safuko to come over, but asked with a slight doubt, "What do you want to talk to her?"
Rin Chihara pointed to the frozen picture on the monitor and said directly: "This is not the effect I want, Safuko is beautiful, but it is beautiful enough to move people's hearts." ”
Haruki Tsumura looked at Safuko's smiling face on the screen, and then at Rin Chihara, speechless for a while. He didn't think there was anything bad about it, to be able to shoot to this extent, the whole crew did their best, and what does it mean to be "beautiful enough to move people's hearts"? She is not a fairy! We can't find a fairy to be an actor!
He thought that Rin Chihara was wasting time and was purely useless, and hesitated: "I think Miss Ueki's performance is already good, maybe we should talk to the camera crew and makeup team...... We can shoot a little softer and warmer tones in close-ups of faces, otherwise how about adding some special effects in post?"
Rin Chihara shook his head: "That can't solve the fundamental problem, Safuko still has potential to tap." ”
Tsumura Haruki couldn't think of how to dig and had nothing to say, but Rin Chihara insisted that he couldn't do anything but watch Rin Chihara take Safuko into the lounge in the trailer.
The people present rested and rested, but they didn't know why the filming had to be stopped, so the master of the camera crew came over and asked Tsumura directly, "Boy, what's wrong?"
The cameraman can be called a master, then he has to have both strength and qualifications, and he can call the young and cutting-edge director Tsumura Haruki a "kid", even if Tsumura Haruki can command him during the shooting, he has to respond, and quickly turned his head and said: "It's nothing, don't worry, it's just that Mr. Chihara is not very satisfied with the shooting effect, and thinks Miss Ueki ...... It's not beautiful enough, there is still potential to be tapped, I want to guide her. ”
"Mentor her, stimulate her potential, and motivate her?"
"I don't know. Tsumura Haruki smiled innocently: "I want to know, here is my final say, but Chihara Teacher must have his intentions, you can rest when you are old!"
The master laughed, turned around and left.
The director has all the same problem, he really thinks he is a god, and he still taps his potential? Is hypnosis? It's really a waste of time, and I have to hurt everyone to work overtime when I turn around!
............
Safuko was brought into the lounge by Rin Chihara, and she couldn't figure it out for a while, she felt that she played it well, after all, Rin Chihara's reminder was very effective, she knew that she was the weakest and most vulnerable part of the show, and she was really asleep figuring out the role, and she didn't relax for a moment.
If this is the case, Chihara Rin still has an opinion, and she can only hang on to the southeast branch, really wronged!
But she can't mess with Chihara Rin, let alone her, few actors dare to stand up to the director on the set, sit down honestly, and say very humbly: "Mr. Chihara, ...... you are looking for me alone"
Rin Chihara had an excellent attitude, and it was not Safuko's fault, and said softly: "Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you." What do you think of the current shooting?"
Safuko's heart tightened, knowing that the drama was coming, even if he was very wronged, he quickly lowered his head and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't act well in some places, and I disappointed you, if you ......"
Rin Chihara hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her self-blame, and said with relief: "I'm not blaming you, if I really say that there is a mistake, it should be my fault - I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a director and didn't let you use your full potential." ”
Safuko was stunned and hesitated: "I'...... There's still potential?"
"That's right, you don't have a good reputation and lack of experience, but I still chose you to be the main player of this show, just because I think you can play the role of 'Ryohime' well, and you can play her touching temperament - you have potential, but you haven't swung it out, and you haven't fully entered the performance state, so I think I need to talk to you well, and you also need to be quiet and think about it." ”
Chihara Rinto's attitude was very gentle, and Safuko slowly relaxed, feeling that Chihara Rin didn't seem to be preparing to repair himself in private, and couldn't help but start thinking seriously - do I really have potential to dig into?
She doesn't think there is more, but Chihara Rin said so, she didn't dare to ignore it, after all, she has been in the crew for more than two weeks, although Chihara Rin has been coordinating the overall situation, but also tells her about drama from time to time, she does feel that Chihara Rin has extraordinary strength, can be said reasonably, people benefit a lot, and I feel that my acting skills have improved - Chihara Rin has summarized experience in later generations, and has been in the industry for more than two years, with enough practical experience, not to mention that there is also a director's [love] skills, these three have accumulated, and Safuko can't be convinced.
Such a director thinks that she still has potential to be tapped, and maybe she also feels that she has potential to be tapped, but she can't think of where she can improve, so she can only bow her head and say: "I can't find where the problem is, please give me more advice." ”
"I think you lack self-confidence, so you can't show your most beautiful side to the camera, the kind of beauty that is as brilliant as you are from the inside out. Now you close your eyes and create the image of Ryoko in your heart, imagine her smile and make yourself one with her......"
Rin Chihara began to talk nonsense and make up reasons, and he couldn't say directly to Safuko, "I'm going to use some kind of magical prop on you, you sit honestly and don't move, don't be surprised if there are any sound effects, and don't mention it to others in the future."
That's impossible, he didn't trust Safuko to that part, and Safuko's performance before was obvious to the whole crew, in case the "beauty filter" was really effective, the effect was quite exaggerated, he had to let everyone have a reason to understand, don't let these people be curious - why did the effect suddenly turn like this, what went wrong? Immortals, monsters, come on, let's study together!
It's better not to say goodbye, just let everyone be Safuko's potential burst out, as for the guidance...... He still dares to receive this kind of skill, and he can't be good at tapping the potential of actors, so he has to dissect it.
He saw that Safuko obediently closed her eyes, and while saying nonsense about letting her "stimulate the power of the heart", he used the "beauty filter" on her, and instantly saw a series of trumpet fireworks explode on Safuko's head, and the whole person lit up, and suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart, fortunately, there was no sound effect - he didn't know if anyone other than himself could see and hear, but he didn't think it was necessary to take this risk to let others take a look and listen, even Ningzi.
However, he took a closer look at Safuko's face and found that it didn't seem to have changed, maybe it could only take effect in front of the camera, and he wasn't much disappointed, after all, even if it didn't work, it would be a loss if he was a dead horse without a doctor.
He babbled nonsense for a while, emphasizing that Safuko should believe in her appearance, believe that she is Ryoko, and have the consciousness of burning life to convey beauty to the audience, and then looked at her herself as if she didn't feel anything, as if she didn't seem to be suspicious, and was more relieved, patted her on the shoulder, let her be alone for a while, find out the performance state, and then he went out by himself.
Okay, just fool around like that, and then see how it looks.
............
He went back to the director's seat and sat down, Tsumura Haruki was looking at the storyboard, looked up at him, looked at his watch again, and felt okay, he wasted ten minutes of time, just as a set of shots did not go well, it was acceptable, and the master of the camera crew didn't care, a character of the level of Rin Chihara already had the qualifications to do whatever he wanted on the set, and no one could say anything.
Then, everyone in the filming team was there to rest and wait for Safuko to come out, but after waiting for another five or six minutes, Safuko stepped out of the trailer with a slightly serious expression - she suspected that Chihara Rin wanted her to self-hypnotize, this method she had heard of in acting class, but she hadn't used it, but the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Chihara Rin had told her, and she also wanted to shoot well, but she really self-hypnotized there for a while, that is......
It doesn't feel like it's useful!
The master craftsman of the camera crew carefully observed Safuko with the eyes of a senior photographer, and found no change, so he couldn't help but shrug his shoulders - yes, I have seen the director's sand sculpture behavior again! The director of this species is really more stupid than the generation!
Safuko came out, and when the break was over, the makeup artist and other staff gathered around her, sorted out the costumes and touched up the makeup, and the photographer, lighting engineer, sound engineer and other staff were also in place, and the shooting returned to normal, while Rin Chihara stared at the director's monitor carefully, ready to see the effect.
Tsumura Haruki stood next to the camera and checked it, nodded to the field note, and the field note immediately hit the board, and this set of lenses restarted, but with the sound of the board, Tsumura Haruki suddenly saw the master lying on the vertical mirror of the camera shake his body, and let out a low "huh".
He didn't know why, so he looked at him and asked what was wrong, if the camera was malfunctioning, but the senior cameraman surnamed Kishimoto had completely ignored him, and he was shocked in his heart - in the lens, he felt that Safuko was a little different from before, and there was more inexplicable charm when walking.
Fortunately, the professionalism he has cultivated over the years is still there, and he still continues to shoot according to the requirements of the script, but the more he shoots, the more confused he becomes, and when it comes to the close-up of Safuko's face, Safuko smiles from the melancholy, he can't control it anymore, his eyeballs almost pop out to destroy the camera, and his heart almost stops beating - he has been in the industry for 26 years, from pushing carts behind the camera to cooperating with countless directors, he has been in countless crews, but he has never filmed such a beauty!
There should be no perfect person in this world, even Safuko, a very good-looking actress, has tiny flaws, but at this moment, in the camera, she is like being born with a layer of soft light, just like God's darling, even if the close-up has exceeded the requirements of the script, the skin is still extremely delicate, the eyes are as bright as stars, and the smile is so light and soft, there are no laugh lines, eye bags, too tight or loose muscles, all of them.
The position of the facial features also seems to have been slightly adjusted, and everything is perfectly in line with the golden ratio, just like the ultimate aesthetics of human beings have finally been concretized, even if it increases or decreases, it is a great loss for all human beings!
He couldn't find any faults, and he couldn't say anything about that smile, only that he was going to have a heart attack.
The fluttering eyelashes, the corners of his lips raised slightly, like a bright flower blooming in the melancholy, and the smile slowly filled the camera from the corners of his lips to the corners of his eyes, making him have only one thought in his heart - what happened, the person is still that person, but why is it suddenly beautiful like this?
Why can she be so beautiful?
He looked at the camera, raised his head to look at the field, and suddenly reacted, and turned his head directly to look at Chihara Rinto, with such force that he almost fractured his cervical vertebrae!
What are you doing? You're committing a crime, are you trying to kill everyone in the audience?!
