052 Layering
The reason why movies are called the seventh art is not for nothing, but these truths have little meaning to Zheng Xu.
His purpose in making this film is simple, it is to win awards.
With such a simple and simple mind, what else does it mean, if you want to make money, you must go back to your hometown to shoot a TV series.
These days, who still plays movies, for the sake of art? For the pursuit? Zheng Xu doesn't care about art or not.
But there is another attribute of the movie, which he agrees with.
Modern movies have an obvious attribute, or function, that is, cultural propaganda.
Through stories, characters, and pictures, we bring the audience some subconscious things and cultural output.
Take many Hollywood blockbusters as an example, the Americans in the film save the world in various ways, the United States is extremely powerful, technologically advanced, and prosperous, and works all day for the well-being of people all over the world.
In the eyes of some people, this is paradise, and even the air is sweet.
Watching these kinds of movies a lot, you subconsciously feel that their country is like this.
But is that really the case?
It can only be said that whoever believes in it is stupid X.
There are so many heavens, and the best paradise is your hometown.
.......................
Zheng Xu's own professional development direction is divided into two, one is a partial teacher, that is, a TV program director.
Another soldier is a documentary filmmaker.
As a "pioneer" in the field of documentaries, the BBC is a pioneer in the industry.
Jung Wook is a staunch "champion" of the BBC's traditional skills of netherworld filters and distorted facts.
Since the predecessors have this kind of epoch-making innovation, they must be used.
The crew is not funded enough, so they don't go to big cities in the United States to film, which is reasonable, right?
In order to more realistically reflect the living conditions of minorities in the United States, it makes sense to take some shots of backward areas in the United States, right?
This time, Yi Xiaoxing was asked to go south, firstly, to give him a chance to travel at public expense, and another arduous task was to let him take more real shots of the backward areas of the United States.
Zheng Xu doesn't have the ideological consciousness to promote the beauty of the United States in his movies.
It's not that it doesn't promote, but it is necessary to publicize the slums, the miserable life of various ethnic minorities.
"Okay, if you understand, hurry up and pack your things and get out, don't delay my shooting. Over there~ Have you rested? I'm working~" Zheng Xu stroked Yi Xiaoxing's little bald head: "Oh, why is it so bright, did you wipe the oil?" ”
"Brother, it's not that I wiped the oil, it's just that I didn't wash my hair." Yi Xiaoxing was a little embarrassed and took a few steps away from Zheng Xu.
"Hurry up..."Zheng Xu looked around, saw Lei Jiayin watching the excitement next to him, grabbed him and wiped his hands on his clothes.
Regayin: "??? ”
"What to see... Ready to go. ”
........................
"Click," "Come here." Zheng Xu frowned and stared at the monitor hooking his fingers.
Lei Jiayin trotted to Zheng Xu's side: "Brother, what are your instructions?" ”
"Layering, layering, I still don't have the layering I want!" Zheng Xu dragged Lei Jiayin's head and shook it.
Due to the tight shooting time and heavy tasks this time, there is not so much time for Zheng Xu to do a detailed script, so the requirements for actors in many places are more vague and more about acting skills.
Zheng Xu had no choice but to see the effect on the spot.
"Brother, I've already substituted my emotions, I feel that my current level has at least three layers~" Regayin explained in a whisper.
Zheng Xu ignored Lei Jiayin's defense, and beckoned to a tall young man carrying a small camera next to him: "Kitten, come, shoot closer." ”
This is Zheng Xuhe's junior brother who graduated from Dacai, and his mentor stuffed it to him, just by looking at the appearance, he knows that the two of them are out of the same school, just this big man of more than nine meters, it's a pity not to make a documentary.
Zheng Xu thought that he was idle, so he asked him to follow the filmmaking process and behind-the-scenes stories in the past few months, and if he won an award in the future, he could also be used as a material.
When the kitten was in place, Zheng Xu began to explain to Lei Jiayin: "You can think about it now, your best friend just called you and saw your daughter-in-law and a man opening a hotel room." ”
"Huh?"
"I just want to do this, but now I'm still filming here, you can't leave if you don't finish filming, you have to be impatient, not only to finish filming faster, but also to be impatient, you have to think about things, you go for a minute every night, your daughter-in-law..."
"Brother, I understand, don't talk about it." After listening to Zheng Xu's poisonous chicken soup, Lei Jiayin scratched his head quite irritably.
Zheng Xu saw that his state was much more layered than just now, and took out the walkie-talkie: "Attention each group, do it again." ”
..........................
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the crew finished work on time, and as soon as the camera started, everyone had not completely entered the state, and there was no need to go to the night play, so take your time first.
Lao Qin found Zheng Xu, who was looking at the monitor: "Mr. Zheng, Mel is here, what do you think will be arranged?" ”
This Mel is the president of a small anti-racial non-governmental organization, it can be regarded as a small regional leader, there are larger organizations above them, but that Zheng Xu is not needed at the moment, a non-governmental organization like the United States, and the leaders above are somewhat bureaucratic, and the skin is black and black-hearted, it is better to find the president of this kind of small organization with hundreds of people.
"Dry him, and take him to my room later."
Although he was looking for someone to do something, this Mel didn't need Zheng Xu to rush to the room, and when the money was in place, everything was over, simple and rude.
...........................
"Hello Mr. Zheng." At about seven o'clock in the evening, Lao Qin led Mel to Zheng Xu's room.
Zheng Xu looked at the old black in front of him, a little surprised, he thought that this product was at least a middle-aged person, but he didn't expect it to look too big, a little beyond his expectations.
Quietly examined the person from head to toe, dressed in a somewhat irregular fancy suit, without a watch on his wrist, but the six large gold rings on his hands can be seen this person's attitude towards life.
No wonder Chen Xi was able to find him, just dressed like this, he almost wrote a few big words on his face.
Zheng Xu didn't have a good impression of such a person, he didn't even bother to get up, stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down first, and pushed the tea gift box on the table in his direction.
"Open it and take a look." After Zheng Xu finished speaking, he looked at Lao Qin again.
His English level is limited to barely being able to read, not to mention spoken English, so let's count on Lao Qin's translation.
Mel didn't understand what the situation was, and Lao Qin whispered to him before he nodded and looked at the two tea gift boxes in front of him.
When I opened the gift box, there were ten small jars in each box, each of which was stuffed with a roll of 100 sheets of 20 US dollars.
Seeing the dollar, Mel's eyes lit up, and he was interrupted by Zheng Xu just as he wanted to speak: "Lao Qin, you take him down to talk, I won't talk about it." ”
