Chapter 48: Absolutely Unacceptable
Because it was the first day, everyone didn't continue filming after dinner!
In the hotel, Xie Baoju stood at the door, smoking a cigarette with a solemn face.
He used to work with the team to play with the big director, but this is his first time as a director.
Xie Baoju thinks that he has achieved success in his studies and has a very high professional standard, and he doesn't think it is too difficult when watching others direct.
Even many times, he will dislike those non-professional directors whose methods are not formal enough.
But wait until you actually get started...... He realized that a small problem could be difficult for him!
Today's shooting is not going well, of course, there is a problem with Mu Ye's sense of lens, but as a director, is he not responsible?
As a director, it is supposed to give guidance and help to actors when they encounter difficult problems to solve, so that actors can find their state and feeling as soon as possible.
During the shooting, he was naturally able to accurately find the position where the camera would appear in each period, but he could only tell Mu Ye the position of each time point, but he could not guide Mu Ye how to find the camera quickly without affecting the performance.
From this point of view, he is not qualified as a director!
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door, Xie Baoju extinguished the cigarette butt and opened the door, and it was Xu Tao with a gloomy expression who knocked on the door.
"Brother Tao. Xie Baoju smiled reluctantly and welcomed him in.
There is no doubt that he came over today to talk to him about the shooting.
"Bao Ju, according to today's shooting progress, we can't finish it in July...... This will not be in time for the short film competition in mid-August!" Xu Tao said straight to the point.
Xie Baoju rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile: "Brother Tao, I will speed up the progress." ”
"What do you think Mu Ye's current state can do with filming!" Xu Tao asked with a gloomy expression.
Xie Baoju was silent for a moment and said, "It's not his problem...... It's me who can't think it through!"
Xie Baoju knew in his heart that this matter was ...... It can't be blamed on Mu Ye.
It was he who underestimated the directing industry and did not make sufficient preparations.
Since he has found a rookie actor, he should have the consciousness of slowly grinding.
Xu Tao glanced at Xie Baoju, and said with a little hatred: "It's not a question of discussing who is right and who is wrong, what we need to do now is to ensure that the shooting can be completed on time!"
Xie Baoju was stunned and looked up at Xu Tao: "What do you mean......"
Xu Tao snorted coldly and said: "What else can I do, change people! Although we can't afford to find first- and second-tier actors, with your family relationship, it's not a big problem to find a third-tier powerful actor, right?"
Xie Baoju's eyes moved, took out a cigarette, and inhaled it, so thick in smoke that he couldn't see his expression clearly.
After smoking a cigarette, he crushed the cigarette butt fiercely, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Give me a few more days...... When the time comes, I won't talk about it!"
Xu Tao was dissatisfied, but it was not good to force Xie Baoju too much, and said in a deep voice: "Two days at most, if you can't get on the right track again, then change people!"
"Two days is too little...... Five days!" Xie Baoju said.
"No, three days at most!" Xu Tao gritted his teeth and said, "If you exceed, I will notify your family!"
Xie Baoju was a little irritable in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Three days is three days!"
……
At the door of the room, Mu Ye stood with a solemn face, and the hand that knocked on the door was still hanging.
He originally planned to ask Xie Baoju for advice on the language of the camera, but he didn't expect to hear such words!
Three days...... He only had three days!
If he can't change the status quo, then he will be greeted by the crew who will be swept away, and he will become a joke of Yan Opera.
He didn't think those juniors would be kind enough to help him keep his secrets!
If he is kicked out of the crew, presumably after the start of school, this matter will spread throughout Yan Opera!
From Xu Tao's standpoint, he did this......
But such a result...... He must not accept it!
Mu Ye's eyes were firm, and his heart was unusually calm, for today's plan, the only one who could help him get through the difficulties was the system.
Mu Ye didn't delay at all, and went straight back to the room.
For an actor, adjusting his mentality is a basic skill, and ten minutes later, Mu Ye finally fell asleep, and then appeared in the system.
He immediately looked at the "Basic Teaching of Acting", and among hundreds of courses, he finally found a course called "Lens Language and Lens Scheduling".
Unexpectedly, the teacher of this class is not a big name in the entertainment industry, but an old director who is not well-known!
Mu Ye believes that the system will not be untargeted, since he has chosen this old director, he naturally has excellence in this regard.
After a brief exchange, the two got to the point.
"Film and television performance is indeed a special kind of performance that is different from other art types, you don't understand the language of the camera and the director's scheduling that is different from the stage performance.
You don't understand that there are a few basic elements that form the language of the camera and that even if you can do some basic performance requirements in front of the camera, it is passive.
Or most of the time, it is a series of performances without thinking and without self completed according to the director's decomposed password......"
As soon as the master speaks, he knows if there is one.
What the old director described was no different from the problems he encountered today!
Even for the two sets of shots completed today, Mu Ye was very dissatisfied, because it was as the old director said, the performance without self that was completed according to Xie Baoju's decomposition password at that time......
"Then how can we master the language of the lens, and what are the basic elements and characteristics of the language of the lens?" asked Mu Ye eagerly.
The old director glanced at Mu Ye and said slowly: "Young man...... Don't be in a hurry, wait for the old man to tell you carefully. ”
Mu Ye's expression was serious, and he listened intently.
"The language of the film and television lens contains extremely important elements of performance, and when we enjoy a film, no matter how different it may be, it is captured and recorded by the machine in the hands of the photographer.
Whether it is the visual information conveyed by the video footage or the video story, it is basically showing a narrative process, telling a story, and expressing an emotion or rhythm.
So in the whole narrative, the actor is the direct embodiment and the executor of the director to complete the narrative!
This requires the actor to know what is the lens scheduling, what should be paid attention to in the director's lens scheduling, to master the accurate video and picture space position in different scheduling, and to pay attention to the different focus of the lens, the camera angle and the position of the light......
Next, we will talk about the three most important and basic elements of lens language!
Position! Action! Sight!"
Mu Ye listened intently, and the time passed minute by minute......
