015 My crew can only call my shots

Wang Ou lowered his head and thought for a while: "Tell me what was the purpose of your initial filming?" ”

Zheng Xu took the skewer hand, thought about it for a moment and replied seriously: "My idea is very simple, I learned this industry, I have some ideas, I want to shoot it, the original purpose is to make money and improve life, and now the purpose is still this." ”

Wang Oudian was puzzled: "Don't directors have a heart for literature and art?" Haven't you ever thought about making a movie in the future, making a literary film and winning an award or something? ”

This idea is actually very normal, in the eyes of ordinary people, directors are very tall, take investment, make films, scold Fang Xuan, win awards, embrace beauties, and walk to the pinnacle of life from then on.

Zheng Xu snorted a little embarrassed: "Uh... It's not that I haven't done it, but it's so far away from me that I can't eat, what do I want to do, I don't have any idea about it at the moment. ”

"Hmm~ very simple idea." Wang Ou gave a thumbs up.

"Don't just talk about me, what about you?" Zheng Xu was also a little curious.

"Me, you know, my parents divorced when I was a child, and then I became a model, because of my height, I couldn't do it, I became an actor by chance, I am not from a professional class, and my starting point is lower than others, in fact, I just want to prove myself to my mother, let her look at me a few more times, well, it is also to make money to improve my life." Wang Ou bit his lip, his voice a little low.

Zheng Xu was a little distressed, it was not easy for such a little girl to wander alone for so many years, so he took her hand: "The two of us are about the same, although I can't understand your suffering at that time, but everything will be fine in the future." ”

After thinking about it, this topic was a little heavy, and I simply diverged: "We are not small, what about you, you will definitely become more and more popular in the future, the drama is continuous, the schedule is tight, filming, as soon as you go out, it will start for two or three months, and it is not uncommon for four or five months to slow down, if we are like this in the future, then..."

"Are you so optimistic about me?" Wang Ou was a little pleased: "I understand what you said, after all, we also have to live, and we can't ignore life just to make money." ”

After hesitating for a moment, he added: "Can you let me think about it?" I haven't thought about it that long. ”

Zheng Xu nodded: "Yes, it's not in a hurry, you can discuss it with your family, think about it slowly, in fact, I'm not restricting your development, it's just... Let's separate and develop, it's been a long time, uh... Anyway, that's what it means, I'm ready to prepare a new drama now, but it takes time to make a script, and during this period, this group of people in the company can't still make a living by just receiving advertising and filming like before. ”

Wang Ou blinked, Zheng Xu rarely told her about the company's affairs before, and it was inconvenient for her to ask more, but now that he could take the initiative to tell her this, she was still a little curious: "What are you going to shoot, do you need my help?" ”

patted Wang Ou's hand: "I definitely need you, I finally caught you with such a good leek, and if I don't squeeze it hard, I'm sorry for myself!" ”

"Hmph~" Wang Oujiao snorted.

"I think so, during this time of making scripts, I am going to do a small show, which is a documentary, um~ a food documentary, by the way, I will take you to play in the province, and it will be regarded as compensation for you, let's take a break, while shooting, eating food, and traveling in the mountains and rivers, what do you think?"

Wang Ou's eyes lit up and raised his little hand: "This can be!" I agree! ”

"By the way, what's your new show?"

"Don't worry, there's a role for you." Zheng Xu said a lot, as soon as Wang Ou mentioned it, he knew what to say.

Wang Ou looked at Zheng Xu and said with some hesitation: "Regarding your new drama, although I don't understand, can I give an opinion?" ”

Zheng Xu raised his eyebrows: "Say it..."

Wang Ou thought for a while: "Have you noticed that when we were filming "Tomb Road", the atmosphere of the crew was weird, especially the actors. ”

....................

After the meal, Wang Ou washed the dishes, and Zheng Xu thought in the study.

When filming the drama "Tomb Road", he felt that the atmosphere of the crew was a little weird, but he couldn't say what was to blame, because Zheng Xu had no experience in forming the crew for the first time.

In addition, I was in the game, and I didn't see it for a while.

After Wang Ou said this, Zheng Xu found that the atmosphere of his crew and other crews was very different, especially the actors.

According to Wang Ou, filming in the crew of "Tomb Road" made the actors feel a little uncomfortable, which means that in acting, everyone mechanically shoots according to the script and feels like a tool man.

It's okay to say about the small supporting roles, how the director arranges and how to come, as long as there are lines.

But for the lead actors, that's not the case.

When an actor stars in a play, the fixed process is to read the script first, see what role he wants to play, and then talk about the salary when the role is satisfied.

When the above conditions are solved, the schedule is finally arranged, and then the group is filmed, which is such a process.

And generally actors who are a little pursuing have their own opinions and acting habits about the roles they play.

But what about the crew of "Tomb Road"?

After Zheng Xu joined the group, he gave a more detailed script, which was accurate to the shots of each scene, and even the actors' movements and movements.

To a large extent, this cuts off the actor's ability to play himself, and will give people a very aggrieved and wasteful feeling, like a tool man, according to the director's instructions, walking to say the lines, and then it's over.

The entire company of Flashing Media, the employees are all novices, of course, they all listen to Zheng Xu, the boss and director, everyone does their own thing, and they cooperate very tacitly, but the actors are working with Zheng Xu for the first time, and they are not familiar with him as a director at all.

Like teacher Zhang Jiayi, it is better to debut for so many years, and the director can act how he wants, and he has not expressed any opinions.

In addition to Mr. Zhang, the biggest name in the crew is Duan Yihong, an actor who has become popular recently, what do he say, he has a little personal opinion on the role, but the whole crew listens to Zheng Xu.

When the filming process slowly reached the middle and late stages, as Zheng Xu's mentality became more and more impatient, although the two did not have any big conflicts and quarrels, they were definitely not friendly with each other.

Now after Wang Ou's reminder, Zheng Xu also discovered the contradictions of the crew in hindsight.

But this problem is very difficult to solve.

A drama, let's take a movie as an example, most movies are between 100~200 minutes when they are released, but what about when they are filmed? The duration of live shots starts at five or six hundred minutes, or even more, and thousands of minutes of footage are not nothing.

After shooting the footage, the next step is to edit and do post-production, and a lot of the material is cut out like this, to be precise, it is so wasted.

What is it? It's all money!

It's like doing a math test, obviously there is an answer, let you copy according to the answer, you can copy a 90 points, or even 100 points!

But what about letting you play on your own? Maybe you can only score 6 or 70 points.

You may get a high score, but how risky is it?

In this way, is it to copy or play by yourself?

Which one to choose, does it still need to be asked?

Now that someone can copy the answer, Zheng Xu deprives him of his ability to use his brain, isn't this hypocritical?
