Chapter Twenty-Nine: Impersonal
'NG' is quite normal for the shooting of a movie. But as a director, it's hard for you to be in control of the whole scene. The filmmakers in Hong Kong are very busy, not only the actors, but even the martial artists, dragon sets, lighting, and photography, and they may have to rush to several sets every day. If you 'NG' it every more time, it will affect their shooting schedule.
If Xu You or Mai Tian and others are directing here today, then the big and small dramas and even the big names will not show the slightest complaint. Great directors naturally have this right.
But little director, if you keep 'NG', it will definitely make these filmmakers unhappy. Don't say that the actor doesn't cooperate, for example, the lighting teacher, it's easy for him to make you unhappy.
On a small set, the lighting boss privately shouted 'Master Deng', which is enough to explain the current situation of this industry.
But fortunately, Chen Jialuo was only a producer in front of him, and he usually got along with them very happily. Coupled with this 'negative news' producer, reports about his hot temper have long been known to everyone, which doesn't make people really do anything.
For example, Zhou Xingxing in later generations was talked about by many movie peers. In fact, as a director, his requirements may be too strict, which will lead to non-stop 'NG'. In this case, it is not only the actors who are affected, but also the other staff, and it is normal to complain.
On the one hand, it may be that he may be too hot-tempered, can't be a man, and is a bit too demanding, on the other hand, because of the general environment, his situations will be too obvious, and he will stand out from the crowd, and he will naturally not be liked by others.
But it's useless for you to complain, who will ask someone else to take charge of the guide tube! Unless you really can't stand it, don't want this job, don't make this money, then you just leave. There are a lot of filmmakers in Xiangjiang, so naturally you are not one of them.
Chen Jialuo actually has a lot of dissatisfaction with the current situation of film shooting in Xiangjiang. In fact, a large part of the shrinkage of the Hong Kong film market is due to the lack of standardization of the system. It's just that now others are soft-spoken, and it's too difficult to make real changes.
But on his set, Chen Jialuo still has ambitions to turn many situations around. At least in terms of shooting requirements, he will be very strict.
……
"OK, stay safe. ”
"Rong Shao, you have to keep your expression in the shot of you riding a horse galloping. If you have any questions, just ask Ma Ye. And Xiaoxian, I know it's uncomfortable to hang coercion, but you have to be beautiful, do you understand? The action should be elegant? The audience doesn't care about you, you want to see the beautiful female ghost......"
"CUT! ”
"It's okay to shoot this small shot Xiaodong, let's shoot it again, OK?"
Throughout the afternoon, Chen Jialuo became a cold-faced person on the set. Directing with sunglasses is a symbol of many directors. On the one hand, the sun is dazzling during the day, and on the other hand, it is not so that others cannot see your expression.
Therefore, Chen Jialuo, who was warm and warm in front of the guide tube, became cold and unemotional when he boarded in front of the camera.
"Is there any mistake, another one?"
"They all said that the helmsman was notoriously difficult, you didn't believe it at the time. I filmed "Mong Kok Night" with him the year before last, and Zhou Jin was scolded to the point of blood. ”
"It's still Chen Xiaodong who is easy to talk to, this Chen Jialuo is too difficult to do! I don't say much if something goes wrong, it's a remake, a remake, a remake......"
"Shut up! Rong Shao's big cast didn't speak, how old are we? Don't you look at Wang Xiaoxian flying around in the sky, and he didn't shout bitterness!"
Speaking of Wang Xiaoxian, everyone secretly sympathized in their hearts. This little girl in her twenties is really heart-wrenching. How painful it is for an actor to hang coercion, many martial artists present have a deep understanding. What's more, she is still such a weak little girl, but Chen Jialuo doesn't feel heartache at all.
“CUT!”
"This is no problem! Xiaoxian, Rong Shao, and Ma Ye, take a good rest. Chen Jialuo took off his sunglasses, smiled at everyone, and said, "Everyone is resting!
Although Chen Jialuo smiled, in everyone's eyes, he was no longer the warm young man he was at the beginning. Although this guy didn't lose his temper like Director Xu You, the constant 'NG' still made people feel terrible.
Chen Jialuo didn't care about this, he came to make movies, not to make friends. As long as you stand in the director's position, then you naturally have to be more serious. As for privately, everyone fights and makes friends.
In fact, there are many times when the non-stop 'NG' is not a bad performance of the actor or something is wrong with the staff, but the director needs a few more shots like this, so that when the post-editing time comes, the most suitable shots can be edited.
The most famous person who did this kind of thing in later generations was the 'King of Sunglasses'. Director Wang Da often didn't know what he wanted at the time, or even what the camera wanted to show. But, it doesn't matter, he just needs to stand like a zombie, keep 'NG', and then take out the best he thinks.
Film is a very interesting thing, and it will show different things in the hands of different directors. Chen Jialuo has his own directing philosophy, and the nature of shooting is what he wants.
……
"Begonia, how is your shooting sense in those sets of shots just now?"
Although Liu Haitang was very tired of carrying the machine, he nodded with great satisfaction and said: "The effect is very good! These groups are shot according to your requirements, which are much more delicate than the original." ”
"By the way, the producer, in fact, there are several groups that are good. Probably it's just that the gloss and some subtle expressions are surprised, and it's not a big problem, why do you keep 'NG'?"
"Keep improving, I need to compare and see when editing. Chen Jialuo smiled slightly and didn't say much.
For Chen Jialuo, since you took this play as an actor, don't be afraid of 'NG'. This is a matter of your work ethic, many people take a few shots and think that the director deliberately corrects you when they shoot a few more, and they think too much. You must know that progress is money, and film is also money, and no one will take money to fix you.
However, the current situation of Xiangjiang is like this, and fortunately, the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has no real bigwigs in the film industry. If he is a big-name movie star, he will not necessarily eat well with the director. Although Zhang Baorong is a superstar in the music industry, he is still a postnatal in the film and television industry, not to mention Wang Xiaoxian.
Chen Jialuo and Liu Haitang exchanged for a while, and a staff member ran over and shouted: "Chief helmsman, the director called you to a meeting!"
