"Tony, do you think there's a scientific basis for the idea of being photogenic?" After the previous wonderful singing performance, Lin Mingyang and the crew were familiar with each other, and when he took off his makeup, he was in a good mood and chatted with his stylist.

"I'm glad you asked a question related to my area of expertise, and in fact the profession of stylist came into existence to a large extent to solve this problem. You know that the image of many big stars on the screen is very different from reality, and the charm of stylists lies in this, we always strive to show the most perfect image of the actor in front of the camera! Tony's work didn't stop when he answered the question.

"Is there any more professional and reasonable explanation for it other than personal feelings?"

"You'll need to turn to someone more professional, like our photographer!" Tony shook his head slightly apologetically, then pointed behind him, where the crew's cameraman, Mark, was sorting out his equipment.

"Mr. Mark, our Felix asked a very professional question, I think you can give him a more accurate answer!" Tony briefed Mark about what had happened.

"Specifically, the difference in photogenicity is due to the imaging principle of the camera or the camcorder. Because the image collected by the camera through the optical principle is a two-dimensional image, it cannot reflect the layering of the front and back of the object, plus the light and the angle of shooting, will affect the visual perception of the audience, so that some defects on the face of the photographed person will be magnified, and these factors will cause different degrees of distortion in the photo or video! Mark thought for a moment, "At present, 3D photography technology can solve this problem, but the application of this technology is still very expensive, and it is generally used in large-scale films!" ”

“imax？” Lin Mingyang suddenly had such a term in his mind.

Mark was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Mingyang, the little guy, to know a lot, "That's right, IMAX is a relatively advanced 3D technology, but the cost is also more expensive, and the current application field is only limited to a few realistic projections in science museums." As far as I know, Hollywood commercial films are not optimistic about this technology, but one director is very fond of IMAX, and he even predicts that Hollywood movies will enter the 3D era in the future. ”

"Advanced technology will always replace the original technology to become the mainstream, which is the inevitable law of the development of things!" Lin Mingyang agrees with the director's opinion, and the most important thing is that in the era in which he lived, Hollywood did launch a lot of 3D movies with shocking film and television effects.

"Then you'll have to work harder, and if you have the opportunity to work with that director in the future, maybe you can become confidants!" Mark smiled, apparently just taking his claim as a joke, the great director who had left a flashy footnote to Hollywood commercial cinema at the end of the last century, but no new work has been released since.

Although this was just a joke with encouragement, Lin Mingyang got serious, "Who is the director?" ”

"King of the World, James Cameron!"

Mark's words brought a lot of shock to Lin Mingyang, and now many people think that "Titanic" is the finale of James Cameron, because this film has created a box office myth that is almost impossible to surpass. But Lin Mingyang knows in his heart that James Cameron is actually brewing a more ambitious plan, which will be a perfect self-breakthrough, now James Cameron is the king of the world, and he will still be the king of the world ten years later!

Whether he can work with a big director like James Cameron is still an unattainable dream for Lin Mingyang, who has just started on the road. But what Mark didn't expect was that it was his words that would lead to one of Hollywood's most legendary pinnacle collaborations many years later.

Now Lin Mingyang hasn't thought so far ahead, he is still immersed in the joy of the success of his first performance, and he soon ushered in the second headache for him. In front of the camera, he played a character who could often dance, and now that the problem of singing is solved, dancing has become a big problem.

sings very well, it can be attributed to personal talent, who made Lin Mingyang born with a thick voice. But I've never heard of anyone who is born to dance, and those talented dancers are all honed by nurture. In this regard, director Kenny Ortega was particularly strict with Lin Mingyang, and the crew specially invited a dance teacher, and all actors must receive professional training.

Lin Mingyang, who is known for his dexterity on the basketball court, is surprisingly stiff in his movements on the dance training field. Because he is the main character, the coach has to patiently and meticulously guide him over and over again.

"Felix, can you take it easy? We're not dancing mechanically, the movements have to be gentle! "Coach Emily, who is in charge of training this group of young actors, is not very old herself, she is a Broadway actress in New York, she is not very pretty, but she has a great body. Compared with Megan's surname, Emily is more plump and mature. There are many young young Zhengtai like Lin Mingyang among the actors, and there are many who are fascinated by her.

In the past, Lin Mingyang might have secretly commented on this beautiful coach, but now he has no such thoughts. Today he had repeated the dance more than ten times, but Emily was still not satisfied. After correcting Lin Mingyang's movement mistakes, Emily turned her head and nodded to the sound engineer beside her, "Replay the accompaniment just now, Felix, finish the movement, pay attention to keep up with the rhythm, and let the body become familiar with this sense of rhythm!" ”

Lin Mingyang smiled bitterly and nodded, facing the mirror, he put all his movements, the problem was not that the coordination of his body was not good, he had tried to do a lot of difficult twisting movements under the basket, and the tenacity of this body was not bad.

The original Felix must have received some kind of special training when he was a child, and the instinctive movements of his body were always accustomed to the simplicity of his surname. But dance requires the expressiveness of the limbs, and to do this requires enough movement to support it. Lin Mingyang's problem is that he inadvertently omits a lot of movements in his dances, but unfortunately he has not yet reached the realm of simplification of advanced dancers, so the movements he makes are very awkward.

Repeated many times, the final effect was not very good, Lin Mingyang looked depressed, and Emily had a headache. She could see that Lin Mingyang was indeed training very seriously, and the sweat on the boy's forehead was more than anyone else to prove his efforts, but why was the same training on him greatly reduced, could it be that he was an alternative genius and not suitable for ordinary people's training methods? Or is he a hopeless fool at dancing?

Emily told director Kenny Ortega about her concerns, and he was reluctant to accept the latter possibility, because he didn't believe that Lin Mingyang would be stupid to that extent, but this problem needs to be solved urgently, and the crew is most lacking time now. Thinking about it, there was no better way, and Kenny Ortega was a little anxious, and this is when producer Ex finally brought him good news.

"Ortega, the company agreed to your request to extend the filming cycle, and on top of that, I also bought you an extra half a month!" He loudly announced the news he had brought, but Kenny Ortega only let out a soft "oh", still with a sad look on his face.

"Something happened during the time I was away?" The first thing that came to Ackes' mind was to shoot the accident, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

"We're in a little trouble, and if we can't solve it, you just give me more time, and the movie won't be finished!" Kenny Ortega said with his face covered in anguish.

"What the hell is going on?" Ex felt that things should not be as serious as he thought.

"Felix had some problems on his side, and the dance instructor told me that he had a lot of obstacles in learning dance!" Kenny Ortega looked at his producer helplessly, "The pace of learning is slow, maybe we have to change our plans on the last minute!" ”

"This can't be, the company won't agree to us doing this!" There was no room for negotiation for Ex to dismiss his idea, "What are the specific aspects of the problem, hasn't Felix's performance been good before?" ”

"He's training hard, but he can't get the essentials of the movement!"

After a moment of silence, Ex offered to watch the actors train, and Kenny Ortega remembered that his producer used to be a stage director, and maybe he could think of something good.

The two stood far away from the training ground, watching Lin Mingyang's performance, Kenny Ortega became more and more anxious the more he watched, but Ex looked thoughtful. After a long time, Ex finally nodded, as if he had confirmed something.

"I have a solution to this!" The confidence shown in Ekers' words was a lifesaver for Kenny Ortega.

"What's the solution?" He asked impatiently.

"Let him start with freestyle basketball!" Ackes looked at Kenny Ortega with certainty, "If I'm not mistaken, this little guy should have been trained in free fighting or similar martial arts since he was a child, and he is very professional, you can see that his movements are all about simplicity, this habit has become an instinct of his body, we have to let him learn more gorgeous physical performance first!" ”

"Are you sure this works?" Kenny Ortega asked with some hesitation.

"Try it!" This is just Ex's personal judgment, and he is not absolutely sure, "Unless you have a better way now!" ”

The conversation between the two determined Lin Mingyang's next training direction, and he could finally leave the dance training ground temporarily, because the crew specially found a freestyle basketball coach for him, who was an ordinary-looking and not tall black man.

Compared to several of the Black teammates on the Firefoxes, the coach named Phil was a little weak, and Lin Mingyang was very suspicious that if he encountered such an opponent in basketball, he could knock the opponent to the ground with a little force. Unfortunately, this is not a basketball court, and Phil is not going to teach him how to beat opponents to score.

"Felix, I heard you play in high school league?"

"We just won the state championship!" Lin Mingyang was proud to mention his brilliant record on the court.

"Oh, that's nice!" Phil behaved casually, "You're from a championship team, it doesn't help us in any way, I want to know more about what position you play on the court!" ”

Phil's words seemed to pour cold water on Lin Mingyang, and he replied curtly: "Organization and scoring are fine!" ”

"Very well, so you're a technical player!" Phil finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Does that matter?" Lin Mingyang asked puzzled.

"Of course, when it comes to freestyle basketball, technical players learn quickly!" "Before we begin, we need to figure out two questions: what is freestyle basketball, and what is the difference between it and formal basketball skills? ”

If Jefferson knew that Lin Mingyang was preparing to learn freestyle basketball, then he would not have thought about it in the future. Freestyle basketball is a "wild way" in the eyes of many professional coaches, which contains a lot of foul play. Lin Mingyang received formal basketball training before, and if there was any contact, it was also an online game called "Street Basketball" that he played in the computer before the crossing.

"Your coach must have warned you to stay away from street basketball, it's not a formal technical move!" Phil seemed to know what Lin Mingyang wanted to say, "That's right, if you want to get into the NBA, learning freestyle basketball is not a wise choice, but that's not what I'm here for today." All the moves I'm here to teach you are to be used very carefully on the basketball court because coaches and referees are going to get you in trouble. ”

"Freestyle basketball is more formal, juggling dribbles, imaginative passes and dunks, and strong hip-hop music, all of which make it a highly spectacle and entertaining basketball show. As a sporty fashion, it is all about style, freedom and creativity. Here you can simply think of it as a combination of basketball and dance. I'm going to make your dribbling moves more beautiful, even though a lot of that action is completely redundant in the game, and you have to remember that you're putting on a show, not a real game! ”

After explaining the concept of freestyle basketball to Lin Mingyang, they began simple training. Phil's goal is not to really train Lin Mingyang to become a freestyle basketball master, he just needs to make Lin Mingyang's movements more tense and expressive. And the producer Ex's idea is to use the training of freestyle basketball to inspire Lin Mingyang's inner performance.

Compared with dance moves, the movements of freestyle basketball are easier for Lin Mingyang to accept, and he quickly mastered the technical essentials, and in the subsequent dance training, he was surprised to find that his movements were not so stiff, and he was able to gradually grasp some basic rules of those movements directed by Emily. His progress made everyone in the crew breathe a long sigh of relief.
