Chapter 17: Stealing Teachers
The Tianlong crew has four directors.
Ju Jueliang, Zhao Jian, Zhou Xiaowen and Yu Min.
The four of them cooperate with each other and have their own division of labor.
Ju Jueliang is Du Qifeng's younger brother, mainly responsible for some literary scenes, and also part-time screenwriter to do script revision; Zhao Jian is the leader of the martial arts scene, mainly putting his whimsical ideas into practice; Zhou Xiaowen is the uncle in the crew, after all, his qualifications and achievements are there, and he drinks some tea every day, which is more leisurely than a fairy.
In addition to the above three people, only the chief director and nanny of the entire crew - Yu Min remained.
Regardless of their personalities, these four people are all good directors, and each of them has their own style. Ji Yun was not idle when there was no play, and followed them behind their butts to learn the skills of holding the camera.
After all, the end of the actor is the director.
At this time, he squatted behind Yu Min and blatantly stole the teacher.
Yu Min is the only one of the four directors who taught him seriously, and he can't live up to the sincerity of the other party.
"The camera movement here should be softer, the camera movement of the martial arts drama heroes should be bright, and the cutscenes should be clean. Beauty should be tender, which can also be reflected through the speed of camera movement, so that the gentle advancement can be more..."
Yu Min is the director who makes TV series with the most sense of cinematic lens.
Take a scene in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" where the little dragon girl appeared as an example.
The conventional way of the director of the normal filming of the TV series in this paragraph is to first foreshadow, highlight the strength of the Quanzhen Sect, and then the camera backs the appearance of the little dragon girl, so that the two parties enter the picture at the same time, and tear the picture apart through high and low contrast, forming a strong contrast and setting off the tense atmosphere.
And Yu Min has to add a touch of beauty to this tense plot, and her mother-in-law is going to die? Yang Guo is going to be arrested? None of the key matters, all the pictures make way for the heroine, moonlight, ribbons, gloves, and then a series of faces, highlighting the beauty of the little dragon girl, the camera is slow, with BGM, a proper cinematic appearance.
If it weren't for Huayi's Feng cannon, Yu Min would definitely have to develop in movies.
Yu Min was teaching experience while taking charge of the camera, and the whole crew was running in an orderly manner without any hindrance. Looking at the other party's comfortable appearance, Ji Yun yearned for this chair more and more.
Yu Min is very good at storytelling, but from Ji Yun's point of view, his directing skills need to be improved.
After all, TV series generally make money through the length of the episodes. In exchange for profit, they will try to make the content as detailed as possible in order to complete more episodes.
However, too many TV shots will make the whole show extremely trivial.
After studying behind Yu Min for a long time, Ji Yun turned his mind to Zhou Xiaowen, the only true god of the crew.
The scenes of the Tianlong crew were filmed simultaneously.
The four directors divided each piece of land, and finally cut the film together.
When he arrived at Zhou Xiaowen, he really saw a movie-level shot.
Clean and neat!
There is not a single superfluous shot in the whole picture, and Hu Jun and A Zhu are fighting against each other in the picture, pushing the tender picture texture to the peak.
Ji Yun took out the notebook he carried with him and recorded the connection and inflection point of each shot one by one.
He made a plan for himself.
Gain a firm foothold before 08 years, play up popularity, jump to the front line 10 years ago, meet the great changes in the industry brought by 10 years, and start to win awards after 10 years.
However, the most difficult thing is the transition from 08 to 10 years, without a starring movie, it is difficult to step on the top floor.
10 years ago, there was no large-scale capital to settle in, and the entire Chinese-speaking circle was very divided, the Beijing circle and the northwest circle of the main movie, the Shanghai circle of the main TV series, and the northeast circle... 's own actors can't be used, how can they dig Ji Yun, an outsider.
They like to find actors in their own circles, and the most they miss is a second male lead, and it is difficult to get the starring role.
If no one invites him, shoot it himself, Ji Yun has excellent scripts in his head, and he doesn't have to worry about being famous.
In the Tianlong crew, if Yu Min is the most attentive director, then Zhou Xiaowen is the most immortal director, Ji Yun comes to study, and he has to serve tea and water part-time.
His casualness comes from his strength.
This person is also a buried fifth-generation director, in fact, it is not appropriate to say that he is buried, he is relatively low-key, and after making a commercial film with a good reputation and box office like the crazy trilogy, he still focuses on literary films.
Then make one, ban one...
The fifth-generation directors always have a sense of mission in their hearts, no matter how successful the commercial film is, they still regard literary films as the ultimate destination, and what they play is an anti-market, what people don't like to watch, I will shoot it, and leave it for decades to let people ponder.
After all, if you have money, what is worse is a name.
The final result is also known to everyone, and the "Song of Qin", which has been carefully prepared for 6 years, was banned, and he was depressed for a long time.
To be honest, it's really a bit overkill for someone of his level to shoot a TV series.
Before filming, a few points were concisely stated, and the rest was left to the actors themselves. Nestled comfortably in the director's chair, waiting to call it a day and go home. As long as he sits firmly in the chair, the whole crew can run in an orderly manner.
While drinking tea, you can also chat with Ji Yun at the same time, which is really relaxing.
Of course, Ji Yun's small talk is not to inherit his sense of mission, but to learn his shooting techniques.
There are not many opportunities to meet big directors face-to-face, and Zhou Xiaowen is not self-cherishing, seeing that this junior is really willing to learn, he patiently mentioned a few words.
He doesn't go deeper, he just answers all questions.
"In the past few years, the singers have sharpened their brains and want to blend in with the crew, and the acting ones like to release albums, and they all regard themselves as Zhang Guorong. I haven't figured out one acre and three points of land yet, and I think about crossing the border every day, is this world so easy to cross? I'm not afraid of taking a big step and pulling the egg. ”
Although he reprimanded the chaos in the industry, he also faintly reminded Ji Yun between his words.
Don't think about filming, you can't do this job.
He has a good impression of Ji Yun, and it's just good, after all, the two don't have too much intersection. In his mind, Ji Yun has great potential, very suitable for those well-dressed roles, but the position of director is something he can't climb.
"That's what you said." Ji Yun could only laugh.
What else can I do, I can still go up and slap him twice?
smiled on his face, but secretly slandered in his heart, when I remade those scenes and won the award and won the box office, I will designate the first one to call you "Daoxi".
Zhou Xiaowen couldn't hear Ji Yun's heart, so he only said that he listened to it. nodded, revealing a teachable expression.
"In the director's profession, you pay attention to an aura, you can't do it without a sense of lens, you can't have a sense of picture, you can't understand lighting, you can't understand composition, you can't understand color, you can't understand soundtrack, you can't edit it, you have to know how to order it. Let's just put it this way, a good actor is not necessarily a good director, but a good director is definitely a good actor. ”
Ji Yun nodded, the old man's words were not rough.
The current blockbuster directors are all in this way, Xiao Gangcang is an actor-level actor, and Lao Mouzi has just debuted as an actor and won three actors. Even if he is a director of Xingye, he will play it for everyone first and then let them paint cats and tigers.
A powerful director, his acting skills must not be bad, even if he is a director with no acting skills, he looks at the performances of his actors and actresses every day, and he is much stronger than ordinary people under the influence of his ears.
With these directors as benchmarks, the director and his entourage are the clearest boundaries in the entertainment industry.
Today's actors are still relatively honest, and there is no famous sentence "Three hundred and sixty lines of directors are produced", everyone still respects the director industry very much, and they all think that they can't carry this banner.
Even if an actor directs two plays, he doesn't dare to claim to be the director.
At most, secretly add the title of a well-known director to the introduction of search engines ...
Ji Yun sighed, if he told Zhou Xiaowen in front of him that if even a ninth-rate writer could take charge of the camera in the future and sweep the market with a bad movie, would he jump to his feet in anger.
