Chapter 146: The Art of Directing

"The little yellow flower of the story

Floating since the year of birth..."

Two building security guards, one old and one young, started their routine night patrol with flashlights in their hands. The younger one is still humming Yang Yang's "Sunny Day", which was deliberately arranged by Wang Buji, and I believe that many Yang Yang's fans will definitely smile when they see it.

Suddenly, the eyes of the young security guard, who had a leisurely and casual face, widened suddenly, and the flashlight in his hand stopped moving.

A voice trembling with fear came from his mouth: "Uncle.. Look at that..."

The camera zooms out over the messy woman-corpse, and the picture becomes yellow, like the color of an old photograph.

Tai Wei's voice began to sound as a narrator, which was his memory.

"In 98, I was transferred to the Luteng City Criminal Police Team by the Xing Bureau. At that time, Xing Ju had just become the captain... In the past two months, four young female white-collar workers were killed by the murderer in Tiantai Mountain at the construction site, and the entire Luteng City was boiling. Just when the murderer was still rampant and everyone was at a loss, someone caught a sneaky young man at the scene of the fifth case..."

The sound slowly fell, and the picture switched to a tall and slender back.

"Don't move, police!"

The young figure was handcuffed and taken back to the police station.

Tai Wei's voice continued: "This young man who suddenly appeared is very calm, he said that he has mastered the most critical clues to arrest the murderer, but he is willing to say it only when he sees the criminal police captain Xing Zhisen..."

In the police station, all the officers, large and small, stared at the young man standing in front of the whiteboard, with doubt, anxiety, incomprehension and a faint expectation in their eyes.

Until now, the young face did not appear in the camera, which really put the audience's sense of expectation and the mystery of the protagonist to the maximum.

"He's not a strong woman - these women, he's a strong woman - this city!"

The young figure finally turned slowly, and a handsome and delicate face was revealed in front of everyone, this face was calm, wise, and precise, and every trait had a fatal attraction.

It is the protagonist genius detective Fang Mu, who is Yang Yang.

"Okay, this is over, let's rest for a while. Wang Buji got up and shouted.

"Yang Yang, your shot just now is so handsome!"

"Yes, yes, come, drink water!"

As soon as Yang Yang walked down from the set, Chen Xi and Deng Linyue, the two school girls, couldn't wait to greet them, and the enthusiasm of the two made Yang Yang a little unbearable.

"Thank you, I'm not thirsty. Yang Yang smiled and thanked him, carefully bypassed the two, and walked towards Wang Fuji.

Filming a criminal investigation drama like "Psychological Crime" is actually not simple, it requires a lot of lens editing, switching back and forth, and it may take several hours of framing in just ten minutes of footage.

After two days of shooting, Yang Yang can also be regarded as seeing the professional side of Wang Fuji's personality.

Unlike Wu Zheng and Zhang Bai, Wang Buer's directing style is very precise and planned, because the characteristics of commercial films are compact plots and well-made.

Compared with Wu Zheng and Zhang Bai, the series of directing skills used by Wang Buer are also more suitable for Yang Yang to learn and figure out. As long as Yang Yang is free, he will soak in Wang Buer's side and ask him about various directing questions, Wang Buer is not stingy, he promised Fu Changqing: Since Yang Yang ran out to film during school, what he learned on the set must not be less than what he learned in class.

"Come and see what we've been shooting for the past two days. Wang Buji saw Yang Yang coming over, beckoned him to come closer, pointed to the monitor and said to him: "If it were you, how would you edit it later?"

This is the most asked question by Wang Buji about Yang Yang in recent days: "If it were you, how would you shoot?"

"First of all, keep Fang Mu's sense of mystery..."Yang Yang briefly told Wang Buer about the dramas he had watched in his previous life, Wang Buer's eyes showed surprise after hearing it, and he asked, "Did you already learn the lesson of 'montage' when you left school?"

"Nope. Yang Yang shook his head and replied, "But I have learned a little bit before." ”

Wang Buji nodded approvingly and boasted, "Your idea is very good. If it were me, I'd start with a jumpy narrative..."

Wang Buer also likes to talk to Yang Yang about this, although Yang Yang has incomplete professional knowledge, immature knowledge system, and lack of experience, but he will always have good ideas come out, which can often bring Wang Buer all kinds of inspiration.

Directing is the art of storytelling. The screenwriter makes up the story well, and what the director has to do is how to tell the story well, tell it wonderfully, and tell it attractively enough. A good director can express the ups and downs of a bland story, and a failed director will tell a wonderful story for nothing.

The results of different narratives are also very different.

Wang Buer talked a lot to Yang Yang, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Oh yes, I also received a few advertisements for this drama, and the total duration of the advertisements in the whole drama cannot be less than one minute." When you're done with solving the case, remember to grab this bottle. ”

The most painful thing about online dramas is the product placement ads in them, with Wang Fuji's temperament, he must not be exempt from vulgarity. He took on an advertisement for a functional drink and a women's cosmetics. That's not too much, and it's easy to deal with. Drinks can be held or drunk by the characters in the show, and cosmetics can be placed on the bus or on the backdrop, as long as the camera pretends to be inadvertently filmed.

Some online dramas are not easy, and all the shooting costs of an ordinary online drama come from advertising revenue. In order to satisfy the financiers, the directors can only add all kinds of inexplicable products to the play, and then give some inexplicable redundant shots. The audience is not stupid, and it can be seen at a glance that online dramas are generally shoddy, coupled with disgusting product placement, so now the market is becoming more and more difficult.

The first few cases of "Psychological Crime" have not yet entered the Green Ivy University, and the pick-up points are placed between the construction site and the winding alleys of the Beiping loop.

"First, the suspect was between 20 and 25 years old, between 165 and 170 tall, had short hair, was thin, wore a metal watch on his right wrist, had scratches, and wore glasses... Second, in the city's work team under construction, look for a man with the above characteristics.."

"He must have been wearing a clean white shirt when you saw him!"

In the play, Fang Mu analyzed calmly, every word he said was confirmed by the facts, he was young and wise, like a sharp sword, scorching and pressing.

As soon as the plot began to develop, it quickly entered the first small climax, which is the charm of criminal investigation dramas.

The scenes on the construction site were discussed by the crew and the construction team, and they were filmed without affecting their work as much as possible.

The actor Yu Feng, who plays Tai Wei, is very desperate, and the chase scene between him and the "suspect" from the construction site to the river is not only far but also urgent, and he has to run again if the action is not in place. When this period passed, the spring cold had not gone, but Yang Yang clearly saw that the clothes on the two of them were soaked.
