Chapter 177: The Actors Meet (2/5)
TV series shooting is different from movie shooting, especially life dramas like "Fruit Marriage Era", which are more family narratives.
The cameras are all different!
Why don't you make a TV series in the same way as a movie?
That's making dumplings to feed the pigs.
Movies and TV dramas are constructed using audio-visual skills and belong to the art form of film art, but because the media form is completely different, it has formed many differences.
The difference between the wide screen of a movie and the narrow screen of a television is obvious.
In the cinema, the audience can deeply immerse themselves in the world and atmosphere of the big screen, and can show a lot of details in the picture;
The screen in front of the TV drama audience is only a part of the home environment,The relatively small picture limits the diversity of details,The hardware level of the TV itself is also difficult to unify,Differences and contrast problems abound,Even the audience's departure at any time must be taken into account。
This determines that the picture of the TV series does not need to be too delicate and exquisite, so the process of getting off the camera and lighting is greatly simplified, and most of them are arranged in the way of large white light, high contrast and brightness, because it needs to meet the needs of the audience to "see clearly".
In addition, in terms of actor scheduling, most of them also adopt relatively simple and clear positions, so that the actors can display their skills.
To put it bluntly, TV dramas mostly carry out stories through character relationships, which will generate a large number of two-person and multi-person dialogues and advance the narrative.
Therefore, some people say: a movie shoots a few shots a day, and a TV series shoots a dozen pages of scripts a day...
It's true, especially life dramas!
Of course, with the progress of media forms, our TV screens are constantly widening, and many high-quality TV dramas must consider color difference and lighting, such as "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", which is really creating TV series in accordance with the techniques of making movies!
But after all, it's a small amount, and the market is flooded with a large number of mediocre works...
......
Lu Xiaoran was originally going to be a director herself.
Later, I found that the schedule was not enough, and I wanted to join the group to shoot "The Wind" at the end of February, so what should I do?
Hire an external director!
There are too many directors in the mainland who are good at filming this kind of family drama, what Teng Huatao, Zhao Baogangjiang, Gao Xixi...
These people are too expensive, and they have a lot of projects on hand!
Lu Xiaoran invited director Liu Jiang...
That's right, it's the director Liu Jiang who filmed "Before Dawn" and "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law"...
After the release of "Departure Today", the box office was not very good, and Liu Jiang was in retreat to create "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law" and "Before Dawn"...
received Lu Xiaoran's invitation, and immediately suspended his creation.
After reading the script, I agreed directly.
The script of "The Age of Fruit Marriage" is very dramatic in itself...
The market price is 600,000.
As for the actors, he has no opinion, except... Frost Girl.
The performance of this sister's audition can be described in four words: a mess!
Lu Xiaoran was also very unhappy, but there was no way, she was stuffed in by the investor!
Tianyu Media is affiliated to Dianguang Media, and TV and Radio Media accounts for half of the investment in "The Age of Fruit Marriage", so an actor is arranged, you can't refuse this, right?
Liu Jiang understands very well...
Film and television dramas themselves are the art of compromise, and many times, it is necessary to compromise with investors and the market...
After all, Lu Xiaoran has not reached the level of heaven and earth, and he is the only one...
Even Lao Mouzi, "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" also chose to cooperate with Zhao Benshan's Northeast Gang...
......
Zheng Shuang, a post-90s actress.
Very small...
Eight years younger than Lu Xiaoran...
Frankly speaking, she was a little timid that she could enter "The Age of Fruit Marriage"...
Lu Xiaoran + sugar candy, an undefeated symbol of ratings!
Lu Xiaoran is his own brother, and there are many rumors in the school that Lu Xiaoran is strict in filming, and he himself said in an interview: "I think some actors can't do this, that's not good, just don't do it..."
And then what...
On the day of the audition, he said in person: "Your basic skills are so poor that you can't speak your lines clearly, are you from Nortel?"
Although he was finally selected into the crew of "Fruit Marriage Era", the senior brother himself said, 'Originally, I was very dissatisfied with you, but you are an investor, okay, then I will give you a chance, ugly words are ahead, if you can't act, get out immediately...'
Lu Xiaoran really said that!
Then, Zheng Shuang studied the script with such trepidation...
took out the momentum of the college entrance examination, from lines to script analysis, and spent a lot of time preparing for this month...
Talk to your assistant every day and know as much as you can!
Then, on the 29th, the crew of "Fruit Marriage Era" had a dinner and informed her that she must come.
Frost girl is a little unhappy...
She thought it was dinner...
Of course, the frost girl ran through the dinner.
It's a normal thing, as an actor, you always have to have your own connections, know one or two financiers or something...
When I was in school, several seniors in the school said: the more dinners you attend, the more people you will know, which is to accumulate your own contacts, the stronger the network, the more opportunities...
It's not very useful, those guys think about your body, and the frost girl is more protective of this aspect.
If you don't give up, you won't have much of a chance...
......
The private room is large, luxuriously decorated, and it is steaming, with the smell of vegetables and smoke.
A group of people are interacting with each other, and the atmosphere is very lively...
It's lively and lively, not at all like the scene Zheng Shuang expected...
It's really a party...
The first to find Zheng Shuang was Tangtang, she quickly got up and greeted: "The youngest sister of our crew is here, come and sit next to my sister!"
is indeed the youngest in the crew, except for the little actor who plays Liu Yiyang and Tong Jiaqian's daughter...
Zheng Shuang hurriedly introduced herself: "My name is Zheng Shuang, playing Sun Xiaorao..."
"Wan Qian, I play Chen Jiaojiao..."
"Collow, Tracy;"
"Cao Binkun, Li Dong..."
Zheng Shuang hurriedly bowed one by one...
I don't have to pick the attitude.,It's not like the frost girl who lets go of herself at all...
In the whole field, Zheng Shuang only knows a few people, of course, most of them are familiar, Zhang Kaili is her mother's idol...
Zheng Shuang greeted Liu Xiangqun, who was sitting next to him: "Teacher Liu, are you here too?"
"Hmm..."
Liu Xiangqun is the deputy director of Mango Channel, and "Let's Watch Meteor Shower" is also the producer he serves...
It can be seen that Mango Station really attaches great importance to "Fruit Wedding Era"!
Of course, today's protagonist is not Liu Xiangqun, but Lu Xiaoran sitting on the left...
He is not only a screenwriter, starring, but also a producer and producer...
The whole crew, he is recognized as a big name!
The topic quickly turned to "Rescue Mr. Wu" - ranked fifth at the annual box office, surpassing "The King of Kung Fu"!
"The King of Kung Fu", which is the joint presentation of two of the biggest Chinese kung fu superstars, with an investment of up to 60 million US dollars...
Judging from the market alone, it must be a loss!
When several people talked about "The King of Kung Fu", they all had a negative attitude, and Cao Binkun simply asked: "Xiaoran, you say, what is the picture of spending 400 million to make such a movie?"
"Hua Yi did "The King of Kung Fu", it should be to prove his ability to run a big production, and this movie is not at a loss!"
