Chapter 6 The year is difficult
An invitation to an art film?
Shao Yingying smiled when the crew received a call from Zhang Wan, Zhang Wan said that there is an art film in China that wants to invite Shao Yingying to play the second male lead, the salary is very low, the director is a cutting-edge, and he is going to the awards of foreign film festivals, there are many taboo things in it, and it is very likely that it will not be released at all.
"No, no." This is Shao Yingying's answer, when the crew was in the mountains, the demolition team was arranging the explosion point, preparing to reshoot the war scene for the third time, and the key actors in the play were all warming up in the tent.
Zhang Guoqiang was closest to Shao Yingying, heard the conversation, and waited for Shao Yingying to hang up the phone and asked, "Why don't you go to make art films?" ”
Song Jia, Duan Yihong and other actors looked at Shao Yingying puzzled, that was an opportunity to be on the big screen, why did they give up so easily? What's more, isn't making an art film a test of an actor's acting skills?
Shao Yingying smiled and shook his head, he didn't speak, some of the words were too vulgar, he himself took it for granted, and it wasn't necessarily the case for others, so he didn't explain it at all.
Wu Rusto was holding hot water in the tent, and commented with a look of indifference: "If it's me, I won't go." ”
Zhang Guoqiang quipped: "Pull it down, no one is looking for you, right?" ”
Hahahaha......
There was a burst of laughter in the tent, and Wu Rustbo also laughed happily in the joke, and when the laughter fell, he explained: "That's not the case." ”
"How to distinguish between art films and commercial films, who told me? See who wins the most prizes? So "Titanic" won fifteen awards for a movie, is this an art film or a commercial film? Okay, let's move on to commercial films, what is a commercial film? Is it high at the box office? also said that "Titanic", a film with a global box office of more than 2 billion, is it an art film or a commercial film? ”
As soon as Shao Yingying heard Wu Rubo's words, he knew that this guy was talking nonsense, so he drank hot water completely and didn't interrupt.
The more Wu Yanbo said, the happier he became, anyway, he had nothing to do when he came out of the tent on a cold day: "Even if there is a distinction between art films and commercial films, there is at least a standard unit of measurement for whether commercial films are good or bad, and whether they are good or bad in acting, right?" All commercial films are not about which actor became the actor in the end, but the box office of the film. What is an art film better than? Than who can win the prize? How can it be proved that the person who won the award has better acting skills than the person who does not win the award? How can the two skins of the human mouth overturn the case, you say he is good, I will say that he is not good, what do you refute? I think this art film is the first thing to do. ”
Everyone let Wu Rustbo say that he was blinded, you said that his words were crooked, but I really couldn't find evidence to refute it, let's say it wasn't crooked, no matter how you listen to this, it's like a ridicule between a few bad friends.
When most of them were confused, Wu Rubo opened his mouth and said: "Anyway, people don't invite me, blow." ”
Coax......
There was another burst of laughter in the tent, and Song Jia's gaze at Wu Rubo became more and more different......
"Director Shao."
Zhang Guoqiang asked again: "Why don't you make art films?" ”
Shao Yingying responded very cautiously: "Art films are like exams for me, and I'm not ready. ”
Of course, I'm not ready, some highly commercial movies and TV series Shao Yingxing can be played vividly by computer, but if Shao Yingying is asked to shoot the scene of Liang Chaowei melancholy smoking in the ending of a certain movie, he really can't act at this stage, and he can't act it 10,000 times. This thing is different from acting, acting must be real, and art films must put a halo on real things and apply color.
He still remembers that when he was going to shoot "Blade 1937", he went to check the information, and the director of the original play, Guo Jingyu, said to his younger brother Yang Zhigang, 'Now your acting skills are not mature, making art films is equivalent to looking for death', what happened? Yang Zhigang was finally reused by his brother Guo Jingyu after many films, and starred in "Brave Heart", in which he threw the essence of Ou 14 to his grandmother's house in order to perform his own style and seek a breakthrough, not only did he not perform the uniqueness and self-breakthrough of Sun Honglei in "Blade 1937", but also ......
It was a disaster.
This is not an art film, just a TV series, and the simple search for breakthroughs in TV dramas has become like this, how can Shao Yingying now agree to anything casually?
"Director Shao, get ready."
Lao Guo of the demolition team opened the tent curtain and walked in, and he was nicknamed a bomb maniac by the crew, and he said this very calmly.
Shao Yingying immediately got up and said, "Filming." ”
After Shao Yingying walked out of the tent, Lao Guo leaned into Shao Yingying's ear and said, "Director Shao, we don't have enough explosives." ”
……
On the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Jinzhong is full of New Year's flavors, and the children on vacation are playing on the street, and the crackling and sliding cannons in their hands are crackling.
"Hey."
Shao Yingying stood at the window of the hotel and sighed, the crew has encountered a problem, it is still a big problem.
Lao Guolai, who was in charge of the blasting just now, came to him for the second time and said that the explosives and gunpowder in the group were only enough to cope with the twenty-nine days of the Lunar New Year, and if he didn't replenish it, I was afraid that the filming of several scenes from the first to the third year of the junior high school would be completed, and the big scenes of the fourth year of the junior high school would not be filmed. Before he finished speaking, the assistant director of the actor also entered the house, saying that most of the extras were gone, and asked what to do with the scene for a while.
Shao Yingying didn't question how the explosives of the demolition team were used so quickly, he knew in his heart that it was indeed too wasteful of explosives for him to keep improving and shooting beautiful war scenes over and over again, otherwise the crew's half-ton explosives reserve and nearly 200 kilograms of gunpowder would be enough for the two crews to shoot big scenes, and it has only been less than half a month since the filming of "Bright Sword" started. He didn't blame the actor assistant director, the extras in the group are all young and young, and there is no contract with the group leader, as long as one of them gives up filming at the end of the year, he can take away a large number of them, this is not something that can be controlled by manpower at all, you can't watch this group of temporary performances every day, right?
What's more, now is not the time to go to the weirdo, as a director, you have to be responsible and be able to solve problems when there is a crisis in the crew.
"Lao Guo, is it too late to buy explosives now?"
Lao Guo shook his head.
Yes, the crew needs approval to buy explosives, approval is required to use explosives, and everything related to dangerous goods needs to be approved. Besides, it's the New Year, even if you don't buy it secretly without these procedures, Jinzhong doesn't dare to sell it at this juncture.
As for hiring extras, it is even more impossible, who is willing to film in the mountains in the cold for the Chinese New Year? Even if the group leader doesn't draw a 20 referral fee, no one will come.
Yes, the group leader has a contract with the crew, and the crew can ask the group leader for compensation, but is that useful? Now even if you pull the group out and shoot them, what can you do, won't you still be able to change people?
It seemed that he could only be slaughtered, but Shao Yingying didn't expect that he couldn't dodge this knife no matter how he dodged.
PS: I'm coming back late, sorry, there's still a chapter at twelve o'clock.
