Chapter 428: Humble film and television bosses
For many ordinary people, making movies seems to be a very 'high-minded' thing. But for many film practitioners at this time, they never felt how 'high-minded' filming was, but felt that filming was very tiring and hard.
Zhang Zimou, who used to be a photographer, challenged the profession of director for the first time, which undoubtedly made him feel pressure. used to be a photographer or even an actor, Zhang Zimou felt that he could deal with it calmly, but it was the first time to be a director.
Although the factory is willing to give him this opportunity, the pressure brought to him by shooting this movie is naturally greater than that of being an actor and photographer before. Fortunately, the factory gave strong support, and finally let him slowly find the feeling of being a director.
And the actors recommended by Xu Zhengdao also made Zhang Zimou realize that the 'Manager Lin' sent by Xiangjiang Film and Television Company may not really have a good understanding of the film and television industry, but that they really have a unique vision.
Just when the crew was filming nervously, Gong Li, who served as the female number one, and Jiang Wen, who was the male number one, also felt that making this movie was really tiring. Compared with Jiang Wen before taking over the filming of this movie, he had also acted, but Gong Li is still a newcomer!
Even if there is money from Xiangjiang Film and Television Company, every time you 'card', you have to waste expensive film. In this case, in order to save money and maintain the quality of shooting, Zhang Zimou can only let the actors audition in advance to find a feeling.
Wait until the actor confirms that he is in the state, and then turn on the official shooting, which can also save film. If the expenses are really too much, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Zhang Zimou to explain to the factory and the partners. In this regard, the crew members have no opinion.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that when the crew members were in a period of exhaustion, they saw the appearance of several cars, and the field staff was also very curious: "Did the factory send someone over again?" Didn't you come here once a while ago? ”
"Who knows! I only hope that I am not here to rush the progress. If you catch up with the schedule, the quality cannot be guaranteed. ”
"Well, who's to say it's not! But the factory hopes that the movie can be filmed next month and sent to Xiangjiang for release before New Year's Day! ”
"Listening to Director Lin, it seems to be going to the exhibition! What kind of film festival are you going to? ”
"Panda Film Festival! But this has nothing to do with us. Even if we can go to Xiangjiang, it is estimated that the director and actors can go, so let's not dream. If you really go to Xiangjiang, you don't have to spend money? ”
These days, many people dream of going abroad. Even if you don't immigrate abroad, if you can go abroad to increase your knowledge, it is also an extremely face-saving thing. But for most ordinary people, if they want to go abroad, they can only stay at the stage of thinking.
When the convoy stopped at the entrance of the village, Zhang Zimou also stopped filming in due time. Seeing the group of people getting out of the car, he was shocked and said, "Hold a grass!" Why did this guy get here? You're not looking for trouble, are you? ”
Compared with Zhang Zimou, who was a little nervous, Gong Li and Jiang Wen, who were actors in the crew, although they felt a little surprised, they also seemed very happy. Anyway, they are the company's contracted actors, can the boss be unhappy when he comes to visit the class?
Zhang Guoli, who is also a contracted actor, also looked surprised and happy when he saw the three women who got out of the car. What is unexpected is why Deng Jie and others suddenly appeared. Happily, the two who had just reorganized their families were reunited.
Knowing that Xu Zhengdao specially came to visit the class, Zhang Zimou also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Manager Lin, I'm really sorry to bother you to go all the way!" The movie is currently more than halfway through the shooting, and it should be possible to shoot it in another month. ”
"Director Zhang, don't worry! I know that slow work makes hard work. For you, getting your movie done is the number one priority. Don't worry too much about the rest. On the way here, I heard that there may not be enough film? ”
"I'm so sorry! In the early stage, it may be a bit wasteful. ”
"It doesn't matter! In two days, I'll ask the company to send you some more film. Although you need to save a little money, you don't need to be too picky. After all, a lot of shots are shot and have to be edited at the end, don't they? ”
"Thank you for your understanding!"
"It's okay! Although you are directing for the first time, I believe in the vision of Director Lin. ”
After chatting with Zhang Zimou for a few words and comforting the other party, Xu Zhengdao said to Gong Li again: "Xiaoli, how is it?" What does it feel like to make this movie? The actual shooting is different from what you imagined, right? ”
"Hmmm! The difference is huge! In fact, because it was my first time making a movie, I didn't even know how to go with the camera. It is precisely because of this that a lot of film is wasted. Boss, I'm not straight! ”
"It's okay! There is a first time for everything, and when this shooting is completed, this kind of problem will not be repeated in the future when you have experience. Don't say that you are a rookie actor, even if those actors and actresses, who have not wasted film in film? ”
While speaking, Xu Zhengdao gave Jiang Wen a punch and said, "This muscle is enough, you didn't practice less before entering the group, right?" ”
"Hmmm! Didn't you say before, let me sharpen my physique? Hey, so exercised a bit. ”
"Being in shape is very important for an actor, and you need to maintain your physique. I heard earlier that you have had a lot of disputes with Director Zhang since you joined the group, what's wrong? Do you also have a heart to be a director? ”
"An actor who doesn't want to be a director isn't a good actor? I just hope that the character can be played better. ”
"Of course I know! If it weren't for knowing your temper, would you think I would be so easy to talk to? Although I recognize your attitude of striving for excellence in filming, don't develop the habit of arguing with the director, otherwise you will suffer sooner or later.
As an actor, although you are blindly obedient, you will lose your personality. But you should remember that the director is the soul of the crew. If actors are free to interfere with the director's work, where do you put the director?
To put it more simply, if you become a director in the future, and the actors you invite give you advice at every turn, how will you feel in your heart? If you really want to be a director, when you have enough experience and a good script, I will give you a chance. ”
"Thank you to the owner! I will take what you said to heart. ”
"It's not enough to remember, it's also to be implemented. Shoot this drama well, and when the movie is released, you kid should be able to make a splash. If you perform well, the company's filming next year will give priority to recommending you, how about it? ”
"Then thank you boss for taking care of me!"
"Fuck off! You kid, make more trouble for me! ”
After laughing and scolding Jiang Wen, other people also knew that Xu Zhengdao should appreciate Jiang Wen very much. It seems that although it has the meaning of teaching, the emphasis in the tone is also obvious. In this regard, Jiang Wen was not only happy, but also felt that this little boss was not easy to mess with.
On the contrary, Zhang Zhongmou, who was standing on the side, was naturally full of gratitude when he heard that Xu Zhengdao deliberately beat Jiang Wen to enhance his prestige in the crew. To be honest, he was also worried that Xu Zhengdao would pull the gang out, and then he would be in trouble.
When he shook hands and talked to Zhang Guoli, these well-known actors and directors and producers who would be famous in the future were now extremely polite and modest in front of Xu Zhengdao. When he was just reborn, Xu Zhengdao may feel flattered.
But for now, he's their boss. In other words, they want to eat and be famous, and they have to look at his face in the future. Who wouldn't dare not be humble in such a situation? Besides, most of them are silent right now!
