Chapter 756: Covenant (3/176)
For the actor industry, Ye Leiyang has always maintained a cautious attitude. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info or rather, he has a cautious attitude towards the entire entertainment industry.
The reason is very simple, living in the Internet era, he has long been accustomed to seeing true and false reports about celebrities, and he also knows that many celebrities look glamorous, but in fact they hide dirt.
However, Huo Jianhua's reputation is not bad, a screenwriter Ye Leiyang knows has worked with him, and the feedback is that this person is very modest, even if the most ordinary staff member of the crew asks for a photo with him and an autograph or something, Huo Jianhua will agree with a smile no matter how tired he is from filming.
There is no doubt that the small details of a person's life will reveal the true nature of the person. So Ye Leiyang had a good impression of Huo Jianhua, and when he chose the actor, he thought of him for the first time.
"What's the matter?" Ye Leiyang looked at Huo Jianhua and asked.
Huo Jianhua smiled bitterly. I was embarrassed to say: "That's the case, I have a friend in the Taiwan Strait, and now he has opened a film and television company in the capital, but the results have not been very good." I wonder if I can make an appointment with you......"
As he spoke, he himself was embarrassed, after all, the person in front of him was not the kind of fledgling rookie screenwriter, look at the object of Ye Leiyang's cooperation, Feng Xiaogang, Zhao Baogang and other big directors are just that, Huayi Brothers is the company that cooperates with him the most in China today, and abroad, Time Warner and Fox are competing for the film and television rights of "Twilight", which has long been exposed by the domestic media.
Although Ye Leiyang still chooses not to accept any media interviews, people who are familiar with the circle know that this person must not be regarded as an ordinary screenwriter.
Ye Leiyang was stunned by Huo Jianhua's words, but he didn't expect him to make an appointment with himself for someone else.
But when you think about it, you can understand it.
The rules in the circle, if you want to save a play, you must first find a reliable screenwriter to save a script. To put it bluntly, unless you are a top actor and a top director, there is no script, and the ghost will invest in you, and people's money is not blown by the wind, it is all real money, and investment needs to see returns.
On the other hand, the vast majority of actors and directors take on the play, especially the top and first-line actors and directors, all of them have to read the script to decide whether to accept or not, after all, they also have to cherish their feathers.
Therefore, the quality of a script can even determine the ratings of a play.
Of course, if the investor's funds are sufficient, then it will be another matter. After all, wealth is moving, and in the face of money shells, big directors and big actors usually bend their arrogant heads. The power of capital is infinite, big enough to change many things.
For Ye Leiyang, there is not much difference between who writes the script for him, that is, the partner is just changed, not to mention that he has never thought of cooperating with only one person, so he will die in this circle.
"Script." Ye Leiyang thought for a while, nodded to Huo Jianhua and said, "I shouldn't have any plans to start a play in the short term." After the end of this movie, there is also a TV series. If your friend wants to make an appointment, just wait, I'll almost have time to write a new play by the middle of the year. ā
As he spoke, he said to Huo Jianhua: "You also have my phone number, you can give it to him when you go back, and let him contact me." ā
When the conversation reached this point, Huo Jianhua was naturally very satisfied, and hurriedly nodded and agreed.
Ye Leiyang smiled, isn't this how to be a man, especially in the entertainment industry, try to form a good fate, although it may not be said that no one will send charcoal in the snow, but it is good not to fall into the ground.
It is impossible for a movie to be shot in the order of episodes like a TV series, because it is placed there for the sake of excellence, so it is impossible for the film to be shot right away. But the flip side of the story, a lot of shooting has to be done quickly when certain conditions are there.
For example, when the venue is restricted, it is necessary to focus on shooting specific scenes in the venue; When there is a problem with the actor's schedule, it is necessary to focus on filming the scenes of specific actors. Even when the season and weather are limited, it is necessary to focus on the opportunity to shoot quickly, which will save a lot of money.
In the same way, props, character makeup, hairstyles, these things all need to be considered. However, since this is the case, then a new question arises, when the above conditions are not restricted, what kind of scene should be filmed? Do you follow the chronological order of the plot?
The answer is no, because at this time, the crew should shoot the simple and demonstrative scenes one after another.
What does it mean to be simple? That is, the shots are fixed, the props are scarce, the actors are few, the plot is simple, and it would be better if there was less action and more dialogue.
So what does it mean to be demonstrative? The answer is clearer, and that is to try to find experienced actors in the crew and let them shoot these simple scenes.
The purpose of this is actually quite clear. Simplicity and experience mean a high probability of success, so that the shooting can be completed quickly and smoothly, and then bring great confidence to the crew and the new actors in the crew, and increase everyone's motivation. And starting from a simple scene, the actor can also quickly enter the state, laying the foundation for the later complex scenes.
And the first scene of "Those Years", which is considered 'simple', Xu Jinglei has also chosen, which is a scene in the toilet.
The plot is very simple, Wang Kai, who played a supporting role in this scene, asked Huo Jianhua to write a love letter for him and deliver it on his behalf, and Huo Jianhua bargained in turn, and that's it. Actors need two people, Wang Kai and Huo Jianhua. These two people are not newcomers who have never filmed, although their acting skills are not good, and they are much worse than those old actors, but they are already the most senior in this crew, and the rest of Master Liu and the like have less acting experience than the two of them, so needless to say, only the two of them can go into battle. And the content of the scene is also very simple, the two stand side by side, standing in the urinal and talking while pretending to pee. The technical requirements for shooting are simpler, with a fixed camera set up behind a shoulder-high, waist-high wall with urinals.
Therefore, no matter how you look at this scene, it should be a great success.
But. What makes everyone helpless is that the debut scene of the crew of "Those Years" was unfavorable, and it was reshot dozens of times before and after! And in this process, Wang Kai, the second male lead in the crew who is second only to the protagonist Huo Jianhua, actually had a violent quarrel with director Xu Jinglei! (To be continued.) )
