Chapter 443: How expensive are special effects
……
Many actors, including Mi Yanxi, gathered around the side, as if they were students watching a first-aid drill.
It's not the first time that Cao Fang has demonstrated to other actors, so although it's funny that he plays a female character vividly, no one dares to laugh.
The Cao Gong Guild cursed.
There are no actors in this crew who can tease Cao Fang on an equal footing, and even if there is, seeing his violent state on the set during this time, it is estimated that he will not have the courage to joke with him at this time.
"Do you understand where to rush?"
"Understood!"
"Tell me. ”
Facing Cao Fang's oppressive eyes, Wang Yuyao tightened the work string in his head, mobilized the memory of the knowledge points when he was in school, and accurately said his problem, "My performance just now is not clear, the logic of the character's action has not been performed, Mr. Cao's performance is very clear, and every expression and action has enough logic and decomposition time." ”
Cao Fang's face was a little better, and he pointed at her and said, "There is still salvation." ”
He continued: "Yes, we are not in a hurry, and you should not omit the details...... In fact, your character has long had signs of liking the protagonist, so when you are performing, you should pay attention to this, what should it be like to open your eyes and see the protagonist? I think you can first show surprise, and then have a moment of shyness, of course, you can have your own interpretation, the focus is how to reflect the real logic of action, and the second point is to reflect the charm of the character. ”
"And you just woke up from a coma, do you want to stare first? It's impossible to jump up and scold all at once, there is no level, no sequence, the whole performance is glued together. ”
"Such a good scene can fully bring out the charm of your character, make the audience look tempted and think you are cute, then it will also help your popularity increase. ”
Wang Yuyao's understanding is also there, her role is very arrogant, she obviously likes it but doesn't say it, she always quarrels with the protagonist, the audience eats this kind of role very much, if she plays it well, she may be more popular than a woman.
But her performance just now, if it is presented in a TV series, will not be a little cute, but will only look like a crazy woman, which is annoying.
"Understood. She cautiously proposed: "If you want to embody the charm of the character, can I scream when I look down and see that I am not wearing clothes?"
Cao Fangfang thought for a while, "Although it is very pompous, it can really have a laughing effect here and make the character more cute." ”
Now all the actors in the crew know that the ideas and suggestions about the performance are as long as Cao Fang nods, and the director Lu Jingzhen will not say anything.
Many short-sighted and uninformed new actors only think that Cao Fang is too powerful, and the big names to the director don't have a temper, so they completely let it go.
At first, many people may be a little resistant, but after a long time, it will become natural, and Cao Fangfang's teaching is really good.
……
This is just a common episode in filming, and Cao Fangfang is worried about more than just the actors' performances.
Before the filming of another martial arts scene, Lu Jing, who was getting more and more sloppy, held the head of the bird's nest and dragged Cao Yifang to argue with the two martial arts instructors.
"Didn't we say it before?" Lu was stunned and chewed on the golden throat treasure, and said impatiently with dark eyes: "Martial arts scenes still have to be fought! You have a martial arts scene, dozens of shots let them cast magic attacks from afar, this is not a Harry Potter film! There is no sense of hitting, and it is very ugly to shoot!"
Wu Zhi was also aggrieved: "That's what is written in the storyboard script, it's all some messy legal decisions, long-range attacks ......"
Lu was stunned, so he could only look at his brother with reproach.
Cao Fang was a little sleepy, rubbed his forehead with his wrist, he just opened his mouth and broke his voice, Lu Zhen smiled, knowing that he had been working hard recently, his throat was hoarse, and handed him a piece of throat lozenge...... In fact, the two are in a similar situation.
Chewing the candy, Cao Fang frowned and said: "My pot, anyway, let's design the martial arts action directly now, and then change the script to waste time, the main thing is to show off a little action, the two teachers work hard, teach Chen Jin and Mi Yanxi more, I will also come to rehearse with you a few times, and strive to shoot this scene today." ”
"Okay. "It doesn't matter if the two martial arts fingers are in charge, their job is to teach martial arts, if they really make the kind of vain head and brain play in the script, they don't know how to design the action.
Lu Jingzhen walked over with them: "The field worker will help me call the people from the set team to come over!" Different martial arts scenes involve different sets and prop arrangements, and they need to be readjusted.
Cao Fang felt very tired and sat down on his exclusive recliner to rest for a while.
He and Lu Jingzhen are like new partners with no entrepreneurial experience, now there is no routine, only enthusiasm, and they want to do their best, but "the best" is a very empty goal, and it is not enough to invest all their energy into it, it is endless, this is a bottomless pit.
Mature directors have their own shooting formulas, and the whole shooting process is very simple and neat, just set the formula, and there are not many surprises. And they will put forward different requirements for themselves according to different situations, for example, when Xiao Xiaosheng was filming the Longmen TV series, he was clear in his heart, and the director of this drama only had a passing score of 60, so he served Taoism, literary drama and martial arts, and he let it go until he passed it, and he would not have even a little more energy.
It's the same with actors, even if it's a queen like Yu Jing.
Maybe only hardcore fans will think that their idols will do their best to shoot whatever they do, and they won't survive if they don't go crazy.
In fact, such an actor can be forced to death by himself if he can't shoot a few scenes at all, normal actors are measured, when to work hard, when to be lazy, many scenes don't need to be forced, just pass.
The current Cao Fangfang is too famous, and the audience's expectations for him are too high, so he is not only responsible for his performance, but also responsible for the quality of the entire drama he filmed, which has fallen into a very embarrassing situation.
Even if the director is his person, he can't control the whole drama, this drama is, and the latter two are the same.
It's just that now relatively speaking, Xianxia dramas give him the most headaches.
……
"So you shouldn't take on this kind of fantasy TV series that requires a lot of special effects. ”
The short-haired woman in front of her knocked on the table and emphasized: "Especially domestic dramas." ”
Cao Fangfang has been overtired recently, has a headache, and rubs his head with his wrist: "It seems that I can pick up the game of thrones, but I want to take the game of thrones......"
In the private room on the second floor of a teahouse in the film and television city, Cao Yifang met Xie Yanting's teacher back then, Hu Yuelong, who is now a strongman in the special effects industry.
People send the nickname Dragon King.
If you want to describe Hu Yuelong's temperament, there is probably only one word suitable - cool.
Her short hair with slightly curly ends that falls below her shoulders is probably the most gentle feature of her body.
With slightly sharp facial features, and a pair of even more aggressive rimless glasses, she habitually wore a black close-fitting suit, wearing nothing inside, and a silver artwork as large as a pocket watch hung on a necklace, embellished to the center of her chest, and attached to her flesh.
Women all said that such a flat-chested woman looked very good in her clothes, but Cao Fang couldn't see it, and only felt that it was meaningless for her neckline to be so big.
"Do you know how much the production cost of Game of Thrones is?" Hu Yuelong sneered when he laughed normally: "Ten episodes cost hundreds of millions of dollars, nearly 700 million yuan, even if our domestic TV series has more than 100 episodes of those footwraps, the total production cost is more than 200 million?"
