Chapter 381: Unraveling and Filming Adjustments
Zhou Bai is very calm, at least he has calmed down, although he has no responsibility for the actor's delay in entering the play, but as an investor in the film and as the leading actor of the movie, of course he doesn't want to affect the filming progress because of An Zhijie's state, although if it is really inappropriate, he has the right to "return", but this choice is the most unwise.
As a new actor, being kicked out by the crew is still because of poor acting skills, the impact on a young actor is fatal enough, and it may even ruin the professional life of a young actor, even from the perspective of empathy, Zhou Bai is unwilling to use this method, after all, the lethality is too great.
Think about Shao Bin, after being kicked out of the crew by Zhang Dabeard, his resources plummeted, and now he has been reduced to no film to film, this is still an actor who has become popular, replaced by An Zhijie, it is estimated that Xiang Huaqiang can refrigerate him alive for ten years, and don't think about filming anything in the past ten years.
The reason is very simple, if An Zhijie is kicked out of the crew, he is an actor who has been "returned" by Zhou Bai and Cheng Xiaodong, Xiang Huaqiang will have further cooperation with Zhou Bai later, and then use him to slap Zhou Bai in the face, think about it with your knees, how could Xiang Huaqiang risk offending Zhou Bai and use an actor who no longer looks like he has any future.
"Zhou Sheng, please sit down, sorry, it's my problem, I can't grasp the characteristics of the character, and there is no way to enter the play. An Zhijie stood up, moved a chair for Zhou Bai, and waited for Zhou Bai to sit down before sitting down.
Zhou Bai nodded secretly in his heart, even if An Zhijie was on the verge of collapse at this time, he was still very polite and educated, and he still had enough respect for him, and he didn't let his emotions control him, let alone break the jar, which can be said to be very rare.
"You regard this role as very important, right?" Zhou Bai said with a smile after sitting down.
A trace of embarrassment flashed on An Zhijie's face, he wanted to say no, but it was so, a trace of helplessness and discouragement flashed in his eyes, and finally nodded silently and remained silent.
"I'm thinking, maybe you value this role very much, hoping to make a difference in your acting career, which is already facing the bottom, and even eager to change the current situation that you have been looking down on, but objectively speaking, your dedication is far from enough. Zhou Bai looked at An Zhijie's expression and said lightly.
"No, Zhou Sheng, I really used all the methods, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't catch the rhythm, and I couldn't get into the role......" An Zhijie said anxiously, his heart was aggrieved, he felt that he was really wronged, Zhou Bai put a lot of pressure on him, and no matter how he acted, he seemed to be unable to escape this shadow.
Zhou Bai waved his hand, stopped An Zhijie's explanation, and said: "You don't have to be in a hurry to explain, what I said about the lack of dedication does not mean that you don't work hard, but objectively speaking, a lot of your mind is not completely focused on this play, you are too troubled by gains and losses, and you are also distracted by other things, resulting in no way for you to devote yourself to figuring out the role, I will say a more hurtful word, in the crew, in terms of qualifications, you are the shallower, if you can't devote yourself wholeheartedly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet the requirements of the crew." ”
An Zhijie opened his mouth, but he couldn't say any words to refute or explain, and finally hung his head like a defeated rooster, what people said was the truth, what could he say, he knew the meaning of Zhou Bai's words, if it didn't work, it would only be a replacement.
"I'm here to talk to you about this, not to put more pressure on you, I believe that because you can't meet the requirements, your heart is already very tormented, I'm just giving you a suggestion, since there is no choice now, it's better to put aside all the things outside those plays, and play the play well wholeheartedly, maybe this play can help you in the future?" Zhou Bai patted An Zhijie's shoulder and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, I think I know what I have to do, can you give me more time? After being silent for a while, An Zhijie's expression kept changing, and finally raised his head and said to Zhou Bai with a firm look.
"No problem, according to your current state, I'm afraid it will be a disaster to continue filming, I will discuss with the director to shoot some other scenes first, it just so happens that the puppy has already been sent, shoot those shots, and then shoot your scenes." Zhou Bai looked at An Zhijie's determined expression, smiled and said.
"Thank you Zhou Sheng, I will definitely be able to. An Zhijie said gratefully.
Zhou Bai patted An Zhijie on the shoulder, got up and left the rest area, walked to Cheng Xiaodong's side, and discussed with him about shooting other shots.
The sequence of the shots of the movie shooting is arranged, and a notice has been made a long time ago, if there is any problem with the protagonist, it is not particularly strange to adjust it temporarily, but An Zhijie is a newcomer, and he also knows his weight, and now Zhou Bai is willing to change the shooting order for him, which can be said to be of great significance.
"Brother Dong, Anzai's state is not good now, I talked to him, I think he should be given some time to adapt, let's shoot the footage without him first, what do you think?" Zhou Bai said in a low voice.
"Okay, you can do it to this extent, it's already the limit, I have no opinion on adjusting the shooting, if he still can't get into the state for a long time, even if he will offend Xiang Sheng, I can only change people, our shooting progress can't be delayed, I'll do this villain." Cheng Xiaodong said with a wry smile, as a director of Xiangjiang, An Zhijie's relationship with him is far closer than Zhou Bai, and this person was also introduced to Zhou Bai by Xiang Huaqiang through him, but the play is bigger than the sky, if it really doesn't work, the decision to replace him must also be made by him.
"Brother Dong, if it really doesn't work, I will explain to Xiang Sheng, I want to come to Xiang Sheng in the Xiangjiang film industry for 20 years, what kind of things have not been seen, he will definitely be able to understand this kind of thing, and he will never have any opinion on you. Zhou Bai comforted Cheng Xiaodong and said that Cheng Xiaodong couldn't afford to offend Xiang Huaqiang, but he had no problem.
"Thank you!" Cheng Xiaodong said in a deep voice, he had written down the favor behind this promise.
"The departments are ready, let's change the other three sets of shots, props, prepare the things needed for the A106 lens, give you 20 minutes to re-set, adjust the lighting, and we will start shooting in 20 minutes. Cheng Xiaodong said with a walkie-talkie, and then the whole set was running again.
There are a lot of shots in "Fast Pursuit", 90% of them are mainly short shots, there is a lot of camera movement in pushing and pulling, and there is almost no panning, completely for the effect of visual impact, so before shooting, all of them are arranged according to the storyboard drawingboard, after Cheng Xiaodong informed the crew of the number of the shots, everyone immediately knew what they were going to do, so the crew continued to run very quickly.
To be honest, the story of the movie itself is a very simple story, it is nothing more than telling the story of a retired killer who lost his beloved wife and was provoked by an eyeless bear child, and the god blocked and killed the god and the Buddha.
In order to make the story more attractive, in the original version, the director built a killer world with a very deep breadth, but there were some mistakes in the details of the story, such as the protagonist's revenge was not convincing enough, the fight scenes were too repetitive, and the visual impact was lacking.
"Hurry up and prepare, these sets of shots have us, Andy's trouble is over, our trouble is coming. Hearing the director's voice, the shark immediately jumped up like an electric shock and beckoned to the other actors, ready for the next test.
