There is a difference between the shooting of a TV series and a movie, which Xiansen knows very well, but when he came to Brooklyn with all the members of the crew, he found that his previous ideas were too optimistic.

This is an abandoned factory in Brooklyn that collapsed due to poor management during the financial crisis, which allowed Xiansen to buy the land at a low price, and after demolishing the factory, the engineering team built a 300-foot promenade here.

For a film, the order of interior and exterior scenes is very important, for example, in "Shutter Island", the interior of Medfield Mental Hospital is taken first, then the exterior of Salem Harbor, and finally these shots are grouped together according to the original concept according to the content of the film, the logic of reasoning, or the psychological order of the audience.

To put it simply, filmmaking uses montage, which requires re-creation by the director, cinematographer, editor, and other departments.

However, the TV series is completely different, since each episode is filmed in the same place, so in order to save time, "Atlantic Empire" will use electronic cameras, so that if you find something unsatisfactory through the monitor during the live shooting, you can always degauss and re-record it. Therefore, most of the picture assembly of TV dramas is done at the shooting site, which makes Xiansen feel very unaccustomed, and because the story structure of TV dramas is mostly laid directly according to the development of the plot, and the shooting location is less replaced, so a large number of short and medium shots and close-ups will be used in the shooting, which is quite a painful thing for a film director who is used to using montage expression.

In addition to the unaccustomed to filming, Xiansen was not 100% satisfied with the costumes and props in the TV series, "Atlantic Empire" is a gangster story built in the history of urban development, so due to the change and passage of time, every costume, prop, and even building in the crew had to be remade and rebuilt, in the words of Juliet Rex, "Imagine a 20s dress at any time, because the director may need it at any time!" ”

Juliette Rex used to be a member of the production department of HBO TV, and after being dug into the "Black Hole Film Studio" by Xiansen with a high salary, she was very happy at first, not only because of the increase in salary, but also because of an affirmation, which is the recognition of her ability by popular Hollywood directors. However, after becoming the head of the clothing team, Juliette Rex realized what kind of effort it takes to get a salary. Compared with the previous work on HBO TV, the workload of Black Hole Film Studio has greatly increased, and director Mister's requirements for props are almost harsh, and sometimes a few buttons on a dress become a reason to rework and redo.

Juliette Rex's grandfather was also a good prop maker, participated in the production of many movies in the forties and fifties, such as "Mountain Road", and later turned to a watch designer, he said to Juliette Rex: "God says there is light, and the director will command you to become Edison, even if you fail in physics." They're always going to come up with some wild ideas, and of course, they're happy to share them with you, and as a result, they keep coming up with ideas, and you, too, have to figure out how to create them. Your profession, like artificial intelligence, is always ready to accept information and output products! ”

Juliette Rex now truly understands her grandfather's words, and although these words may sound full of resentment, she knows that her grandfather's tone was full of pride, this is the duty of a prop master, and she will definitely bear the honor of being a prop master family.

Therefore, although Xiansen will always have various dissatisfaction and requirements for props and costumes, Juliette Reix still has no complaints. She took the drawings of her latest suit and found Xiansen: "Director, this is the dress designed for Thompson's godfather, you can take a look at it." ”

After taking the drawings, Xiansen nodded, then handed the drawings back and said, "You design a set for Steven first, let him wear it, this is a tailor-made dress for him, don't make mistakes." ”

Juliette Rex breathed a long sigh of relief, the director's words indicate that the design has passed, and as for the finished product, it is much easier than the design.

After arriving in Brooklyn, Xiansen has been busy shuttling between various departments, and the 300-foot waterfront promenade is still under construction, and as long as it doesn't rain, according to the current process of preparations, the first episode will probably be filmed tomorrow.

After returning to the hotel from the set, Xiansen specially gathered his three assistant directors together, and he wanted to talk to them about tomorrow's shooting.

"Well, after coming to Brooklyn, I noticed some problems."

This is Xiansen's room, where Rachel is making coffee for the four people seated, and after learning that the TV series is filming, Rachel escapes from the school, which is a private university with poor management.

As a private secretary, Rachel followed Sen to Brooklyn, and of course, for the same reason, she moved into Sen Sen's room.

"It's going to be officially started tomorrow, and I'm at a loss in my heart now, and I always feel a little awkward."

Xiansen sat opposite the three of them, and said a little tangled: "I don't know why, originally in my opinion, since I can make a good movie, shouldn't it be a piece of cake to make a TV series?" But now, that feeling is gone."

"Typical anxiety phobia."

As soon as Xiansen's words ended, Bella Marceau added: "From a psychological point of view, it is a fear of the unknown and a sign of lack of confidence in yourself. ”

"So what to do?"

For Bella Marceau's attainments in psychology, Xiansen is completely convinced.

Shaking her head, Bella Marceau whispered: "There is no way at the moment, this is not a mental illness, this is a psychological state, so" paused, looked at Dixon McPhilip, who was playing with a cigar, and continued: "Maybe, Director Dixon will have a way." ”

Hearing this, Xiansen moved his eyes to Dixon again.

"I can't help it, really."

Putting the cigar back in the iron cigarette case, he thought for a moment and said, "But I have a suggestion, that is, let me direct it for you tomorrow, and then"

Dixon's voice stopped suddenly, because several people present looked at him with an idiotic look, if this was placed in ancient times, it would be a blatant usurpation of power!

"I'm just suggesting, hehe, a little bit of advice"

Dixon smiled, took the cigar out of the tin box, and tipped it around again.

"Meg, what do you think?"

Seeing that there was nothing the cigar man could do, Xiansen had no choice but to look at Meg Jackson for help, this screenwriter-born person must have a special way.

"Director, look at this."

Meg Jackson sat up straight, cleared her throat and said, "You see if we can make a TV series into a movie, and make a TV series in the same way as a movie." ”

Hearing this, Xiansen lowered his head helplessly, he had also thought about this method, but it was too difficult to execute, because an episode of a TV series is sometimes not a complete story, and if you want to edit it like a movie, you need at least a complete story, otherwise how should the editor cut it? Even if it is cut out, an episode is 90 minutes, an episode is 70 minutes, and an episode is 50 minutes, how does this make the TV station broadcast?

Even Spielberg's "Band of Brothers" was only made in the style of a movie, not in the way it was made.

That's the difference between a TV series director and a film director.

The former can shoot 100 episodes of TV series with 100 million, but the latter can only shoot 10 episodes, of course, the latter may be much more exquisite, but behind the delicacy, it is called the dollar.
