Chapter 12: Director's Strength

After the three main actors were found, Fang Yan immediately applied to the school to borrow filming equipment and quickly formed a crew.

It should be noted here that the crew is not a professional in society, but a Didian student who is still in school.

When he was a rich second generation before, Fang Yan spent money to entertain guests and made a lot of friends, but now that the crew is short of personnel, he immediately thought of these people, and all of them called over to help.

NND, I've eaten so many meals for nothing, now I'll work all to make up for it!

"Lights, turn the light up a little brighter, and the angle down a little bit!"

"Where's the field? The big vase in front of you is blocking the camera's view, move it away! ”

"Make-up artist, come on! Paint eye makeup for the male protagonist, pay attention to the decadent appearance of dark circles! ”

"Stop! There is a bit of a problem with the radio here, so let's do it all over again! ”

At the filming site of "The Tuner", Fang Yan turned into a detail maniac, striving for perfection in every shot, which made the crew tired enough.

At the beginning, some people put forward opinions, saying that Fang Yan was a bit nitpicky and too serious!

In this regard, Fang Yan did not get angry, but called the opponent to his side and asked him to keep looking at the camera display.

In the following shooting process, Fang Yan still kept pointing out the problem, and his behavior was indeed necessary, and the comparison of the effect before and after the adjustment seemed to be immediate.

The opponent was speechless and silently returned to his post, and from then on, he immediately did what Fang Yan said.

As a director, the most important thing is to establish prestige, and Fang Yan's move shows his directing strength very well and convinces all the crew.

"You kid can be a decent director!"

I don't know when, Zhang Jiandong came to the crew, he stood by and watched for a while, surprised by Fang Yan's directing ability.

Although Zhang Jiandong was already very optimistic about Fang Yan before, he still felt that he was underestimating this student at this time.

Whether it is the on-site response ability or the personnel command ability, Fang Yan is very old and spicy, and he does not look like a novice at all.

"Teacher Zhang, this is all good taught by you, and I will continue to learn from you in the future!"

Fang Yan patted his ass, in fact, he was really grateful to Zhang Jiandong, if it wasn't for the other party to come forward to help, his equipment loan application would not have been approved so quickly.

"Alright, don't say nice things here!"

Zhang Jiandong glanced at Fang Yan with satisfaction and said: "The director is to look at talent and understanding, you are a piece of gold, you will shine wherever you go!" ”

The purpose of Zhang Jiandong's visit this time is for his role, that is, the scene between the male protagonist and the male protagonist boss in the café.

Fang Yan had already found a filming location in advance, which was a café where he often went to pick up girls, and the boss was very talkative, and agreed to shoot during the break time in the café.

"All departments prepare - 3, 2, 1, action!"

Fang Yan gave an order, and the movie began to shoot.

Plates of various cream cakes are neatly arranged on a beautiful white embroidered tablecloth.

The male protagonist Duane neatly cut a cake with a fork, and the thick hot chocolate emitted a burst of aroma, which was slowly flowing out of the silver-white chocolate pot.

Suddenly, two new plates were rudely placed on the table by the impatient waiter.

Duane took a bite of cake and said, "Look at this waiter, how ...... personality"

"Stop!"

This scene had just started to be performed, and it was stopped by Fang Yan.

"Teacher Zhang, you need to pay attention to your expression at the beginning!"

Fang Yan walked to Zhang Jiandong's side and explained to him: "Huang Meng, as Duan's boss, received a phone call before he came, saying that he was looking for a blind tuner named Duan!" ”

"Huang Meng has realized that Du An's troublemaker, so he doesn't have a good face for Du An, he should show a slightly disgusted expression."

Zhang Jiandong nodded: "Okay, I understand!" ”

"In addition, Brother Duan, you have a place where you can't act right!"

After Zhang Jiandong finished speaking, Fang Yan turned his head and continued to say to Duan Long: "When the waiter puts the plate roughly, Du An should show a calm and breezy appearance. ”

Duan Long lowered his head and pondered for a while, and asked, "Is the reason why I was asked to act like this inversely proportional to the later retaliation for stirring up trouble?" ”

"That's right!"

Fang Yan snapped his fingers with satisfaction, he had a full score for Duan Long's acting skills, if there was anything wrong with him, as long as he pointed a little, Duan Long would be able to understand and adjust it well.

For such a good actor, the remuneration is only 500 yuan, and it is really worth it when you think about it.

Don't think that 500 yuan is very little, Duan Long is currently just an unfamous drama actor, the basic salary is only 300 yuan, and the salary of an additional 80 yuan for performing a drama is only about 1500 yuan a month.

The filming time of "The Tuner" is estimated to be a week, and the price of 500 yuan is already very thick.

…………

During the filming of a few days, the crew got better and better, everything went smoothly, and only a few scenes of tuning and playing the piano remained.

In order to have a better sense of realism, Fang Yan deliberately found a piano shop, which not only sells pianos, but also has a piano training class business, which has four large and small piano practice rooms, which are just suitable for shooting needs.

Fang Yan bargained with the owner of the piano shop, and finally successfully rented these practice rooms at a price of 150 yuan a day.

After the careful arrangement of the crew, the practice room has become a family room, as long as the shooting angle is grasped, there is nothing abnormal at all.

The only pity is that there are too many scenes in the female murderer's house, and it is easy to get into trouble if you shoot here, so you can only find a family with a real piano for shooting.

"Lao Liu, hurry up and take off your pants!"

In "The Tuner", there is a dragon role wearing only underwear, and Fang Yan directly asked Liu Shixian to play the role in line with the principle of saving money.

"It's not fair! Why don't you act, but let me act? ”

Faced with Liu Shixian's complaints, Fang Yan shrugged innocently: "No way, I already have a role!" ”

The role that Fang Yan wants to play is the husband who was killed by the female murderer, this role is just a few seconds of dead shots, and there is no need for acting skills at all.

"Director, I have a problem that is difficult to solve!" Duan Long smiled bitterly, indicating that he didn't know how to play the piano.

Originally, as a professional actor, Duan Long wanted to specialize in piano, but the filming time was too urgent, and he didn't have time at all.

"That's easy to say!" For this question, Fang Yan has already prepared in his heart: "Let's adjust the position, you just need to pretend to act!" ”

"But...... What should I do with the piano radio? The radio on the side asked.

Fang Yan stretched out his thumb, pretended to point at himself and said, "I can play the piano, just collect my music when the time comes!" ”

Just kidding, master, I was born in music before, and the rich second generation who can't play the piano is not a good director!
