……

Cao Fang, this is called a hater who can't make steel......

At the door of the men's toilet, Lu Jingzhen leaned his back against the wall weakly, looking sluggish, it seems that he also realized that his director is really a shame for domestic directors, weak is not like words, and it is not the kind of weakness that is overhead.

has always been a slippery temper, even if he has the authority of the director, he can't even go crazy.

Cao Fang was so angry and funny, he grabbed him by the collar when he got angry, then let go, then grabbed again, and then let go, looking at the edges and corners of Lu Jingyi that were gradually smoothed out by obesity, and his pitiful little eyes, he couldn't help but laugh again, turned around and didn't want to look at him, and rubbed his forehead fiercely with his palm.

"You can't do that...... I'm going to be tired, big brother. He couldn't laugh or cry when he said that.

Cao Fangfang's feelings at this time were very complicated.

On the one hand, it is indeed full of energy...... For the first time, he held a lot of power, and several co-producers and investors gave him the power to shoot a drama that was very innovative and in line with his YY aesthetic concept.

Although the difficulty is extremely high, and there are always many problems, in the process of solving the problem, the sense of conquest and pleasure generated is absolutely unimaginable satisfaction for ordinary people.

Probably only entrepreneurs have the same feeling.

This state of fighting has always made him very excited, full of new ideas, whether it is at the level of scripts or performances, he has a steady stream of ideas, and he also has the ability to put ideas into practice.

However, this state is quite strenuous and can easily lead to poor sleep.

When I close my eyes, I feel tired like a stone, I feel that my body is getting heavier and heavier, and my heart is getting heavier and heavier, but the colorful pictures and thoughts are always jumping and floating in front of me.

When I woke up, I couldn't figure out if I had slept or not.

Generally, if he is tired for a long time, it is easy to lose control of his emotions...... This has little to do with self-control, it's all about the body's stress response.

Cao Fang also had to allocate some of his crippled willpower to keep himself from losing his temper.

Lu Jingzhen saw that he was indeed tired and indescribable, this state Cao Fang would not show in front of others, even he had not seen it, and suddenly looked at his unsupportable appearance, Lu Jingzhen was a little flustered for a while.

On the one hand, there is worry, and on the other hand, ...... He only now realized that he, including others, had relied too much on Cao's side.

Worriedly, he reached out to touch his forehead and asked, "What's the matter, is this a problem, are you sick? ”

Cao Fang put his hand away, frowned and said helplessly: "I'm really tired, I don't have an appetite......" The men didn't like to complain, and he didn't say much.

In fact, Cao Fang's hard work can be seen by anyone with a brain and eyes.

From last year to this year, all the way to the death, variety shows and TV series shooting, advertising shooting, attending events, end to end, endless...... For a normally physically fit Homo sapiens, this is already a remarkable amount of work.

In order to make more money, he also wanted to let Liumeng Studio, which had only signed with him for two years, earn a little more, and he filmed TV series continuously, mixed with various activities in the middle, and felt that he didn't have time to breathe.

Normally, after an actor finishes filming a drama, he has to rest for at least half a month to regulate his body and mind, but he doesn't.

Then there was the debate, and the many miscellaneous matters of the establishment of the studio, the public opinion was chaotic, the industry was unfriendly, and they rushed forward under pressure.

If he chooses a relatively simple scene to shoot after the establishment of the studio, he will not be on the verge of the limit of physical strength and energy...... After all, the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, whether it was a costume drama or a romance drama, even if it was an anti-Japanese war drama, the entire filming system had a lot of ready-made templates to set, with his appeal in the capital market, with money in his hands, as long as he gave an order, he could immediately pull out a mature crew, each performing its own duties, from pre-preparation to post-production, one-stop service, clear division of labor, and high efficiency.

He just needs to act.

In the end, it is still possible to make money.

But......

Death for oneself.

Lu Jingzhen wanted to speak.

Say, you're an extreme idealist.

But there is also an execution that no one can match.

It's easy to kill yourself.

Cao Fang breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at him with strange eyes, frowned, and said, "What are you doing? What do you want to do? My charming facial features are the beginning of your crime?"

Lu Zhen's sympathy dissipated, and he snorted: "I'm a director now, and I still need to commit crimes against you!" Some of the girls are lined up to do evil to me......

Cao Fangfang thought that he was tired like a dog, and Lu Jingzhen still fantasized about the unspoken rules, so he immediately pressed him his chest, leaned closer to his face, and said seriously and fiercely: "Lu Jingzhen, I know that you have the ability to direct, you play with the camera, and the post-editing is good, I will help you, so that you can shoot a production of 200 million at the age of twenty-seven, is there such a young director in the circle?"

Lu Jingzhen suddenly restrained his greasy attitude, looked at Cao Fang in fear, and his chin squeezed out.

At a distance close to his face, he found for the first time that Cao Fang's eyes were so fierce.

Cao Fangfang said in a low voice: "But I help you, you have to fight yourself, the director is not a photographer, you can shoot and edit, it's not enough! If you can't control the set and can't understand the performance, I won't use you in the future." ”

"I, I, I, I understand. Lu Jingzhen hurriedly admitted: "I know you are tired, you are hard, you feel that you have to take care of everything......"

"It's good that you know. Cao Fangfang said: "I am mortal in the flesh and have limited energy, I am now in charge of a little more, but it is limited to the performance of the main actors, as well as the fine-tuning of the script, and other things, think about it yourself, what should the director take care of...... If you can't carry the weight on your shoulders......"

"I know. Lu Jingzhen hurriedly said, "You can take it back." ”

Cao Fang held him down hard and said loudly, "I'll cut it!"

"Rub ......"

"Be serious!"

"Oh!"

Lu Jingzhen cautiously removed his hand, and said with a smile: "But I'm really not suitable for getting angry, I'll communicate with them well." ”

Cao Fang also wanted to speak well, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course, not all directors are like Zou Runqiu, it's okay to communicate well, but you still have to have deterrence." ”

Lu was stunned: "If you don't lose your temper, it seems that it is difficult to have a deterrent effect." ”

Cao Fang stretched out his hand and pressed it on the side of his face, slowly approached, watching Lu Jingzhen's expression become more and more nervous, and then stopped: "You see, sometimes if you don't speak, it will also have a deterrent effect." ”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the door opened.

Both turned their heads at the same time.

Shen Yu'an poked his head out a little embarrassed, and saw such a scene.

He chuckled inwardly.

Wall, wall?!

For a time, it was a dilemma.

Cao Fangfang said: "Why are you?"

Shen Yu'an was already introverted, he didn't know what to say, his Adam's apple was surging wildly, and after a while, he had to tell the truth: "I...... I went to the toilet and didn't know you were all here. ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't react, he walked around in small steps.

Shen Yu'an jumped two hundred miles, he stood in front of the urinal and posed, but Yu Guang saw that Cao Yifang and Lu Jingzhen did not move.

He was crazy inside.

I--mom-oh!

What--what-situation!

He was stiff, trembling slightly, his neck was hot, and he was obviously too eager to urinate, but he couldn't open the gate and release the water at this time.

So it was even more embarrassing.

While complaining about the objective environment: why don't you go......

While looking down at the subjective ability: come on! Come out! Bladder brother give some face!!

Unable to take it anymore, he left the urinal.

looked at the calm gaze of the two, laughed, and then hid in the VIP box of the men's toilet.

Cao Fangfang and the two came back to their senses at this time, and he dragged Lu Jingzhen out: "See, sometimes, if you don't lose your temper, it's also very deterrent." ”

……

In the end, they discussed it, and decided that Cao Fang would explain the performance problem clearly first, and then Lu Jingzhen would take care of it later.

He doesn't lose his temper, but he can use his directing powers.

If you don't shoot well, you will be photographed repeatedly, and you will be photographed until your face cramps, you will have a stroke, and you will be photographed until you are hemiplegic.

In fact, there are many directors like Lu Jingzhen, mainly in the producer-centered Hollywood, and the director does not have as much power as in China, so his temper is usually smaller.

Sometimes after a fire, the staff didn't seem to notice, and after a while, they came back to continue filming.

The director seems to be called Nolan.

The set in Area A has been moved, and Cao Fangfang asked all the actors on the scene to sit in a circle on the smooth green screen, including a few actors who came to play tricks on the spot, as long as they were on the scene.

He sat in the middle very casually, sitting without sitting in a sitting position, his legs crossed, and his hands behind his back supporting his half-leaning body.

"I didn't think clearly about what kind of performance form our show is. ”

"In the last few days of co-shooting, I have found some problems, our overall shooting atmosphere is too relaxed, which seriously affects the state of your performance. ”

He looked at the anxious Jiang Shishi, "Brother Jiang, what you just played is actually not a big problem, I actually discussed with the director to find fault with you." ”

Jiang Shishi was stunned, "Huh?"

Cao Yifang said: "Because you are just a microcosm, I have seen your performances in other dramas, and you are very serious, but in the scene just now, in all fairness, are you serious?"

Cao Fangfang is different from the past, he lectures, no one dares to speak, even if he has doubts, he does not dare to speak.

"I know what you're thinking, isn't this just a funny and funny TV series? Are you positioned as a comedy, or the nonsensical kind, because the film and television dramas you have made before don't seem to have such exaggerated lines. ”

"Isn't it more in line with the overall tone to shoot lightly?"

"Is that so?"

He pointed to Shen Yu'an, who lowered his head and was silent: "Is that so?"

"It's not. He replied in a whisper.

"Why?"

After Shen Yu'an took a deep breath, he whispered: "Even if it's a comedy, if you don't take your role seriously, you won't even have a comedic effect." ”

"Yes. ”

From the casting to the present, Cao Fangfang has always felt that Shen Yu'an is extremely serious and has a good understanding.

It's just too introverted.

He continued: "I thought it would be okay, but now I don't think it can because it doesn't work. I thought about it carefully, and let's say that many of our plot jokes are similar to nonsensical comedies, so how should we shoot them?"

"Excluding the reasons for the development of the times, why are nonsensical comedies becoming less and less funny now, but they are embarrassing to watch? Looking at the performances alone, I found that the biggest difference is that in the past nonsensical comedies, each character is seriously performing his own role, and the contrast between their seriousness and the absurdity of the plot presents humor. ”

"They're the people in the play, and they don't know that their actions are ridiculous. ”

"The later ones, the characters seem to want to be as funny as possible, they all know that their behavior is funny, they think that exaggerated performances are the characteristics of nonsensical comedy, so it's not funny at all, the audience is out of the play, it feels like someone is desperately scratching their armpits. ”

Cao Fang saw that they seemed to listen, so he cut to the core, he couldn't simply tell everyone how to act, then he couldn't tell if he was tired. He wants to clearly present his thoughts on the style of this drama so that they can understand.

"The author of this is more influenced by the second dimension, and many of the jokes are close to the Japanese benzene comics. I don't know if you've seen it, some comic comedy movies in Japan, I don't recommend that you use the kind of exaggerated acting that tries to get close to the image of the original comics, because the real carrier is different, and the three-dimensional face is not exaggerated to that extent, and if you do, it will be ugly and not funny. ”

"I suggest you refer to two ways of acting, one is the unexpected cold humor in Marvel movies, you don't need to exaggerate acting, as long as you act seriously, you will be embarrassed when you should be embarrassed, you will collapse when you should collapse, and normal people should react. ”

"The other is a domestic sitcom, an appropriate exaggeration, a life-like exaggeration, and these two methods are close. ”

"The point is, don't torture your facial expressions, make any appearance that violates the harmony of nature, and don't feel that you are being funny, so try to be funny, you just need to seriously perform the basic reaction required by the script, and perform meticulously, and the effect will be presented naturally. ”

Special supporting actor Jiang pragmatically raised his hand and said, "I know!"

He said: "I felt like I was joking with that line just now, so I didn't think about it seriously at all, at best, I just read the lines with emotion, and I didn't collapse at all......

"yes, you don't even have body language. Cao Fang criticized: "It is written in the script that after you see the actions of the protagonist and others, your emotions change several times, deepen each time, and finally act crazy, which is a comic-style way of expressing laughter." ”

"In reality, everyone is very calm and introverted, of course, they will not be mad by people at every turn, but this is the setting in the script, and one of the highlights of this is that the protagonist provokes the people around him again and again. ”

"Then you have to act seriously, what is angry, this is not a joke, you have to believe in this role. ”

He looked at Shen Yu'an again, "I've played with Shen Yu'an the most in the past two days, but I've never found fault with him, just because I found that he can't be funny, he has been playing this role seriously, and he hasn't thought about being funny...... So it's kind of funny. ”

"Poof......" Xue Mengjiao didn't hold back.

When she saw Cao Fang's electric gaze, she quickly reached out to cover her mouth, opened her round eyes wide, and looked back innocently.

"Another point, in fact, it shouldn't be useful to tell you...... Cao Fang thought about it: "It should also be convenient for you to understand." ”

"The highlight of this drama to restore, or the cool point, must highlight the particularity of the protagonist...... I can act with facial paralysis, I can be casual and serious, or funny, because the character as a whole is detached. ”

But this is due to his peculiarity, the audience has to see that the other characters are immersed in the story of the game, only the main character is different, the other characters are scared half to death when they see the monster, the main character does not move, the other characters are delirious, and the protagonist thinks clearly. Yes, that's YY, but that's the core selling point. ”

"For example, in a horror scene, if Shen Yu'an is not afraid, not panicked, and not immersed in it, the audience will naturally not feel fear, and plastic acting skills can be fun, then our such a real scene, and a large amount of money to produce special effects in the later stage, are all in vain. ”

And there is no foil, the protagonist faces these scenes, and his calmness also loses its particularity. ”

"So you all have to take these performances seriously, even hard, you are not acting in comedy, you are acting in thrillers, horror films, martial arts films, science fiction films, but not comedies...... With this in mind, our work will not be easy. ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Fang gave Lu Jingzhen a look.

Lu nodded and clapped his hands, "Do you understand?

Everyone immediately got up in good spirits.

They don't care about it now, they just think they need to be more serious.

But soon, Lu Jingzhen deliberately began to torture everyone.

Anyway, there is plenty of time, and there is no need to save film like he used to make movies, he does it over and over again, he doesn't have a deep understanding of acting, but at least he can distinguish the good from the bad, so he keeps squeezing everyone's acting skills and letting them figure out how to improve themselves.

Then pick the best one out of them.

In the process of torturing people, he gradually found pleasure and established a certain degree of majesty.
