At the end of April,

The Grudge 2 crew officially started,

Compared to the original date set by Lu Zhengyi, it is a little later.

The reason is that the script was supplemented, and there was a lot of discussion, so much so that the timing was not as expected.

But this is for better shooting, so it is not a delay.

"Okay, everyone, it's time to get ready to turn on after the incense."

As Bai Wei clapped his hands and shouted at the same time, the crew took turns to insert the incense in their hands into the incense burner placed on the offering table.

Behind the incense burner, a faceless stone statue sat quietly.

Except for the people in the plum civet crew who have long been accustomed to it, those actors who have just joined the group showed curiosity about this stone statue on their faces.

This is a crew that shoots horror films.

They are all curious about the etiquette of the boot ceremony, how the crew will treat it, and who they worship.

Although there were people from three different countries present, whether it was the country of Heguo or the country of the Southern Dynasties, they all belonged to the cultural scope of Dongzhou.

When the first two eyes were filmed, Lu Zhengyi and the others received Jason, and they proposed customs similar to whether there was a turning ceremony, whether they would worship the gods, and ask for a lottery for the camera.

In the West, there are few kick-off ceremonies, and even if they do, they are more like a meeting, similar to the kick-off meeting, which is completely different from the customs of the East.

Not only the Southern Dynasties and the Heguo, but also the Xiang and Yue Kingdoms have a certain cultural precipitation in terms of ghosts and gods.

The countries of the Eastern Continent are ...... for immortals, gods, and immortals In fact, they all have a certain reverence and yearning.

"Where's Director Lu?"

After Yu Wenxiu inserted the incense, he slowly came to Zhang Yu and stood still, "Why haven't you seen him since I came today." ”

"He said that the things he was wearing were not suitable for the start-up, so he went to the monitoring room and waited first."

Zhang Yu explained, looking up and down at the woman next to him, his eyes were full of envy, "The last time we met, you came to my house together to visit me, and after such a period of time, I feel that you seem to be young again." ”

For Yu Wenxiu, he is actually not so familiar.

At least compared to Yu Yuli, Zhang Yuming, and Chang Zhengwei, Yu Wenxiu has no private friendship with him.

Because she joined the crew when she was filming the spell, although it was the second drama of the crew, Lu Zhengyi had already begun to gradually take over the affairs of the crew at that time, instead of leaving the filming to himself like an old corpse in a mountain village.

Later, everyone went up the mountain together, and after returning from taking pictures of their eyes, they fell ill.

He did not participate in the first commandment or the curse.

But compared with other actors, Zhang Yu is complicated with Yu Wenxiu.

Because she was obviously the one who came later, but she was the first person to change except for Director Lu.

"Deputy Director Zhang, you're getting more and more good at complimenting."

Yu Wenxiu smiled politely, unconsciously took a step back to the side, and leaned over with some regret in his heart.

Deputy Director Zhang's gaze was too hot, and she was a little unaccustomed to it.

If it is some physical emotions, she is used to seeing them now, but the emotions in his eyes are more complicated, which makes her feel a little infiltrated.

It's like an old man who is dying, facing the immature child in front of him, his eyes are full of 'longing for life', but this desire is a little scary for the person concerned.

He wanted to replace himself. ’

Yu Wenxiu could feel this emotion, so much so that she wanted to stay away.

"I'm not boasting, I'm really getting younger and younger." Zhang Yu shook his head, "I remember when we first met, you were still anxious that you were in your thirties, thinking about whether to give up becoming an actor and follow your parents' words to return to your hometown to take the civil service exam, or to continue to engage in this industry." ”

"Speaking of which, you seemed to be quite obsessed with having children at the time, and I was afraid that I would not be able to give birth after the hurdle of thirty."

"Now you don't have to worry, with the way you are now, don't say forty, fifty or sixty, I'm afraid you can have children."

This sour tone is not disguised at all.

Yu Wenxiu could only smile awkwardly, "Yes, I'm not in a hurry now." ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly changed the topic again, "But did you discuss the matter of Director Lu in advance?" ”

"Discuss? How can he discuss things with me, only say that it is a surprise and a hidden link. ”

Speaking of Lu Zhengyi, Zhang Yu's eager gaze was put down and became helpless, "If I knew that he said that, I would definitely be in time before I went on the field, so I stopped him from thinking." ”

"Once this kind of label is attached, it can't be washed off for a lifetime, and as a public figure, you should cherish your feathers."

"But fortunately, he handled this matter well, and now he doesn't say anything, but ...... I admire his honest and upright attitude. ”

"Director Lu must have arranged it in advance, he has never wanted to do things one by one." Yu Wenxiu thought for a moment, "On the contrary, because of this incident, in addition to the attention of the work, his own attention has also increased a lot." ”

"Yes, he must have prepared in advance, otherwise it would not have been possible to clean up so properly."

Zhang Yu nodded, "But I thought about it later, too, he was really unsatisfactory in terms of directing, when I first filmed the old corpse in the mountain village, I once planned to stop filming because of his ability, and his classmates and teachers must also know about his directing ability." ”

"If he doesn't take the initiative to say it, one day in the future, maybe there will be red-eyed classmates, or people who are greedy for this traffic, come forward to expose the information and compare his previous works in school."

"It will be very troublesome to deal with these things until that time, and it is actually right for him to take the initiative to take it out now, and some things cannot be hidden."

As he spoke, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "I was still very excited on the court at that time, and I didn't have a good face off the court." ”

"Thinking about it now, it's a bit that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry, his temperament that is calm and calm in everything must have been thought about early on."

But after really thinking about these things clearly, Zhang Yu was actually a little disappointed in his heart.

Because in this way, the thanks on the field are more like a play.

Did he really think of himself as a teacher?

Zhang Yu unconsciously had such a question in his heart.

Before, he was happy, distressed, angry......

Because in his heart, Lu Zhengyi is indeed the most proud student, and there is no one.

But now......

There are some words, Zhang Yu can only hide them in his heart, he can't really ask people, are you acting at the time, a drama of master-apprentice love.

As for Deputy Director Zhang, who suddenly fell silent while talking, Yu Wenxiu looked at his demeanor, and unconsciously looked into the distance, the monitoring room where Lu Zhengyi was, and said in a deep voice, "Actually, sometimes, I think Director Lu is a very terrible person." ”

Zhang Yu raised his head suspiciously.

"Deputy Director Zhang, you should know that my ability is to play other people, and in the process of playing, my body will get part of the power of the actor."

Yu Wenxiu explained softly, with some trepidation and uneasiness on her face, "But when I played Director Lu, it was a special case, I directly lost control of my body, but because of this, I ...... I was able to feel Director Lu's emotions to a certain extent. ”

"It's like, I'm hiding in his body, and although I can't control it, I can look at other people from his point of view, look at ...... All. ”

"It was a hollow feeling."

She couldn't even find the words to describe it.

"Hollow?"

Zhang Yu was a little incomprehensible.

"I don't know how to explain it."

Yu Wenxiu hurriedly retracted his gaze, for fear of being noticed, "But I have a feeling that if I let Director Lu control my body a few more times, I may be assimilated, and then lose my desire and emotion, but that is not a manifestation of indifference and cold-bloodedness, but it should be said that it is ...... Lost, no. ”

It was the first time she had shared it with others.

She didn't know why, probably because Zhang Yu was the first person in the crew to see Lu Zhengyi.

"No feelings?"

Zhang Yu was also in a trance for this statement.

No feelings?

Lu Zhengyi's past performance came to his mind, and he would be angry with himself who liked to do things to actresses at the beginning; He will also be angry with Liang Meijuan, who likes to play tricks on people, and he will be happy about the success of the movie......

"You feel wrong, right?"

Zhang Yu frowned, he didn't quite believe this statement, "Director Lu is just a little more demanding of himself, he is just a very self-disciplined person." ”

Obviously, as the person in the crew who saw Lu Zhengyi at the beginning, Lu Zhengyi in his eyes is emotional.

"Maybe."

Yu Wenxiu didn't argue with him much, because it didn't make sense.

No one can feel the real justice of Lu like himself, no one.

……

"Mr. Takahashi, the next filming scene will start with you, let's shoot the scene about you meeting Gacoco in this room first."

Before starting filming, Lu Zhengyi told the actor about the scene as usual, "According to the setting of our previous script, you are a very popular, lively, and handsome high school student Sagaraki, and after making a bet with several other partners, you need to come to this house alone to sleep for one night, and film the whole process after entering the house to prove your courage." ”

In front of him, there was a boy with light blonde medium and long hair, and next to him was An Xiaozhou, an actor of the Southern Dynasty.

In addition to An Xiaozhou, who is considered to be an internal decision, the starring role of the country side is set to be Takahashi Wen.

The reason for the choice is simple, young.

In terms of image and age, Takahashi Wen is in line with the character set by Lu Zhengyi, although it is also because of his age, his acting skills are not as good as the first two, but the level is also passable.

Lu Zhengyi had the idea of signing some foreign artists before, and he preferred this kind of young people with little experience than those who have been in society for a while.

As for acting, people's abilities will grow.

Lu Zhengyi doesn't say that every time he has to find actors with good acting skills like Yu Wenxiu and Chang Zhengwei.

Like Zhang Yuming, a person whose level is still passable and has a heart that loves this industry, if he grows up slowly in the crew, his sense of belonging to the crew will be heavier.

"Understood."

Takahashi replied cautiously, "Director Lu Zhengyi, if the effect is not so good after the actual shooting, I ...... I'll take care of it! ”

He said solemnly.

Takahashi refers to the character aspect.

Regarding the character of Sagara Mu, and even the shape, it was all requested by him.

In Wakoku, it is not mandatory for students to color their hair, but in general, in addition to bad ones, only people who are popular and have a lively and cheerful personality will try to dye their hair.

Therefore, in some works of Heguo, whether it is film and television dramas or animations, characters with bright hair colors will be more lively and cheerful.

And some extracurricular activities such as the test of courage games are also attended by students who are well-liked.

Some students with poor staff or average students rarely participate in activities after class.

In addition to the character design, Takahashi Wen also gave opinions on some of Sagara's performances and lines, and the process of participating in the script creation is very novel for him.

Because this work should belong to the authority of the director and screenwriter.

"I'll also be accountable for my role."

Next to him, An Xiaozhou first gave him a look in surprise after he spoke, and then hurriedly expressed his sense of responsibility.

Her role in the play, reporter Lee Jae-min, is also set up by herself for most of the time.

"You don't need to be responsible, since I have finalized the opinions you gave, which is a good opinion, then the results are naturally good or bad for me."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, not because they were willing to take responsibility, but handed it to them, "Many of your opinions on the characters and plots are very pertinent, as a native of the Tang Kingdom, I really don't have a deep understanding of the culture of your two countries, it is you who make up for some shortcomings and avoid situations that are contrary to reality." ”

In the previous audition and reading process, they were more discussing how to establish the character.

Although it is a bit subtle for a horror film to try not to appear contrary to reality and such descriptions, it is so.

As a big screen, movies tend to pay more attention to texture than TV dramas.

TV series will often have some mythological and fantasy dramas with completely empty themes, because the main creative team has a lot of time to build a background, but in this way, filling in a lot of complicated content will make the film lose its texture.

So when many people watch TV series, they often flip the progress bar.

Especially in today's relatively impetuous era, it is often easier for people to accept watching at one point and five times or two times the speed compared to the original speed.

People are more focused on time, and it has become the norm to do two things, or even three or four things at the same time, as if you don't do more things at the same time, you lose money.

Watching TV series, reading books, watching movies, and I also like to read the key points, sometimes a TV series that I am very interested in and have been looking forward to for a long time, I always feel that the content is not nutritious, and the progress bar is pulled, so I turn off the film.

But in fact, in the final analysis, it is the lack of texture in the film.

So compared to TV series, movies rarely have completely empty situations, even if they are science fiction, fantasy, and mythology...... Most of these films are also adapted from existing literary works, or some facts and legends from ancient times.

Because most of the texture comes from immersion, that is, reality.

In order for the audience to be immersed in the theater, it is necessary to add texture from various casual small details, so as to give the audience a sense of substitution.

Otherwise, even if some films are shot in the form of movies, with movie filters, and put on the big screen, they still make people feel like watching a low-budget TV series or online drama.
