My exes were all superstars

Chapter 16 The screenwriter is the mother, the director is the father

For a work, the screenwriter is the mother who created the script. If there is no script, the work will cease to exist.

The director is the father, he and the screenwriter work together to fiddle with the work.

The writer and director are husband and wife.

A hundred years of cultivation can sleep in the same bed, and thousands of years of cultivation can sleep together. This proves that good couples are hard to find, and the same is true for screenwriters and directors.

Just think about the popular TV series "Soldier Assault" on the earth. The cooperation between director Kang Honglei and screenwriter Lan Xiaolong can be described as seamless, and the later "My Head, My Group", which the two collaborated on, is also a classic. .

As for the works shot after the two no longer collaborated, they were no longer so sensational.

Every director has a different style, and the same script is naturally different for different directors.

After a few days of filming, Yu Xiaoshu had an understanding of Sun Hei's directing style.

Details control.

And this kind of detail control is everywhere.

For example, when a new position is set up, he has to look in the viewfinder, and he needs to make sure he's happy with how the shot starts and ends.

And Sun Hei is also quite concerned about some key compositions.

Because of this carefulness, this made the shooting of "I Am Yu Huanshui" a little slow.

For a one-day play, Sun Hei has to shoot for three to four days.

In this regard, Xia Qing, as a producer, of course has a great opinion.

The two even clapped the table during the meeting.

"As a director, you have to separate your life and work. You can be a good guy in life, but sometimes a proper tyrant has to do it on the set."

Yu Xiaoshu records it in his diary every time.

As an agent in his previous life, he has naturally seen too many tyrants on the set, but he and the director will never become friends, because he needs to protect his artists, so he and the director must be enemies.

He needs to communicate with the director about the requirements for the role, schedule, lines and so on.

Sometimes in order to protect his artists, he even needs to be a villain, and then he will apologize to the director at the end of the banquet, and at the same time offer some benefits.

But now it's different.

He is a screenwriter, and Sun Hei asks him for his opinion on everything.

After filming starts every day, Sun Hei will leave the screenwriter, producer, lighting engineer, photographer, field recorder and other staff to watch the sample together.

No, today, although Sun Hei and Xia Qing had a quarrel on the set, they continued to watch the daily samples together.

Today's filming is still the scene of the office.

There are roughly several sequences for shooting film and television dramas. The first is to arrange the shooting sequence according to the scene, and the second is to arrange the shooting sequence according to the script.

Most generally choose the first one.

And the filming of "I Am Yu Huanshui" is like this. The first three episodes were filmed in the office, and then some other scenes in the hospital and Yu Huanshui's house were filmed.

"Okay, let's take a look at the samples first, and then let's express our opinions."

As Sun Hei spoke, he played the beginning of today.

Today's protagonists are Wu Anyong and Liang Anni.

The first filming was Wu Antong's scene.

Wu Antong, the original novel of "I Am Yu Huanshui", has cancer. Because the marks of the two people's blood samples were reversed during the blood test, Yu Huanshui got Wu Antong's physical examination results.

The adaptation turned Wu Antong and Yu Huanshui into masters and apprentices, and at the same time Wu Antong humiliated Yu Huanshui.

……

"You kid has been doing well recently."

"No, my performance was not good that month?? No, if you have something to say, just say it."

"You are so busy, your performance is up to standard, you have some things you can't finish, you give it to me, you go to drink with your girlfriend and have fun."

"Are you asking for performance from me?"

"why do you say so?"

"No, Lao Yu, you've gone a little too far. You think you are my master. How many achievements have I given you before? People have to be noisy sometimes. I can't support you for the rest of my life."

Wu Antong patted Yu Huanshui on the shoulder lightly, then turned around to leave, and suddenly turned back when he was halfway there: "Master, this person, it's fine if you hurt your leg, don't hurt your brain."

……

This play is still pretty good.

The actor who plays Wu Antong is called Qin Cheng. Speaking of which, he is still Yu Xiaoshu's senior. After graduating from the Imperial Capital Academy of Film and Television, he has basically been idle for the past two years.

This made his figure a bit out of shape.

It can be used to play Wu Antong.

Compared with Qin Cheng, the actor Ying Zhao who plays Liang Annie is a little worse, and he is obviously inferior to the old drama Gubiao.

After watching the demo, Sun Hei said, "What do you think??"

"In the past few days, Ying Zhao's acting skills feel a little worse."

The assistant director frowned and said, "How to say it? It's a bit stiff and unnatural, especially when she plays against other people, her shortcomings are more vividly displayed."

Everyone else nodded slightly.

After listening to everyone's opinions, Sun Hei said: "Yes, I also think so, in this case, while our follow-up scenes have not been filmed, let's remove Ying Zhao and replace it with an alternate actor. "

"Director Sun..."

Xia Qing became anxious when she heard this: "We have been shooting for 5 days, and we have only completed one-tenth of the filming progress. If Ying Zhao is replaced, it is almost equivalent to overturning everything. Do you think it is too late? ??"

"It's too late to change it."

Sun Hei said seriously to Xia Qing: "Old Xia, I understand what you mean, I also want to save money for the company, but as you know, we cannot fail in this play."

"This…"

Xia Qing hesitated for a while but still said: "The others should go out first."

At this time, the assistant director, lighting engineer, recording engineer, scene recorder and others all got up and left, and Yu Xiaoshu also prepared to pick up the script and leave.

"Xiaoshu, you stay."

Xia Qing shouted when she saw that Yu Xiaoshu was about to leave.

In the blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the room.

"The web drama "I Am Yu Huanshui" is of great significance to us, and we can't afford to lose, but Lao Sun, if you still keep improving according to your current shooting process, our web drama may be suspended by the company. Yes, because I was talking about small costs before, but now I am overspending every day.”

Xia Qing said to Sun Hei: "It doesn't matter, as long as the first three episodes of "I Am Yu Huanshui" are wonderful, but now you have to cut all of Ying Zhao's scenes and remake them, which is absolutely impossible."

Sun Hei shook his head and said, "Why not? Lao Xia, you're just too sensible. Our previous online drama just hit the street and didn't strive for perfection in the first three episodes. This time I absolutely cannot make the same mistake."

Xia Qing: "Absolutely not. Even if you ask Mr. Wu about this, Mr. Wu will not agree."

The two quarreled again at this time.

But no one can tell.

"Okay, let's stop arguing, Xiaoshu, tell me."

Sun Hei looked at Yu Xiaoshu: "You are a screenwriter, then you must know the role of Liang Anni."

Yu Xiaoshu nodded lightly: "Yes, the role of Annie Liang is also very important, and she belongs to the glue of the plot."

"Yeah, this character is sexy, but it's not just sexy."

Sun Hei clapped his hands and said, "Lao Xia, even Xiaoshu said so, what else do you have to say?"

Xia Qing looked at Yu Xiaoshu: "Xiaoshu, do you really want to change Ying Zhao?"

"Director Sun, Teacher Xia, I said before that the soul character of "I Am Yu Huanshui" is Yu Huanshui. As long as this character can stand up, then most of it will be successful, but the success of a drama requires the supporting roles to be equally outstanding."

Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "The actors Zhao Juemin, Wei Guangjun, Wu Antong, Lv Fumeng, Gan Hong and even the Gan Hong family are all experienced actors, and their acting skills are not a problem at all, but the role of Annie Liang actually needs sexiness the most, as long as acting skills are needed. Just don't hold back..."

A really good director is a little bit of gold.

Actors may not understand acting skills, but directors can train them.

Think about it, the same actor has a burst of acting skills in the works of the great director, but in some director's works, he has become a man with facial paralysis.

Think of the national teachers on the earth, even if the little fresh meat can be adjusted properly, let alone the newcomers, they can completely turn stone into gold.

This is also Yu Xiaoshu's judgment on Sun Hei.

Detail control is Sun Hei's advantage, but he also has many shortcomings, and the gap between Sun Hei in the aspect of actor training is even greater.

Let's put it this way, Sun Heixiu said that he is still a long way from being a famous director, that is, an excellent director.

Ying Zhao graduated from the drama, her acting skills are online, just because Ying Zhao has not had many opportunities in these years, and she does not want to rely on selling her breasts, so her acting career has always been difficult.

Acting is to be honed by the day after tomorrow.

This should naturally make sense.

However, Yu Xiaoshu felt that Ying Zhao's performance in "I Am Yu Huanshui" was passable, and more importantly, Ying Zhao's sexiness seemed to be inherently unique. She played Liang Anni just too well.

stunner.

This was the first word that popped into Yu Xiaoshu's mind when he saw Ying Zhao.

For this reason, he felt that there was no need to change Ying Zhao.

But Yu Xiaoshu won't say this too bluntly. After all, Sun Hei is the director and the boss of the crew. He, Yu Xiaoshu, the screenwriter, only has the right to make suggestions, and he can't take the lead.

Talented people are stubborn.

Especially directors like Sun Hei, they don't believe in others, they only believe in themselves.

Sun Hei's top online drama Pujie stubbornly thinks that he has the wrong rhythm and that he has not kept improving, but Yu Xiaoshu has watched Sun Hei's top online drama these days, and that's not the reason.

Of course, these Yu Xiaoshu will not say it for the time being.

He has been cautious in his words and deeds for the past few days. Sun Hei doesn't ask his opinion, he never makes a fuss, and when Xia Qing doesn't need him, he disappears.

Even at the beginning, the crew was a little curious about Yu Xiaoshu and looked forward to it. After all, Yu Xiaoshu used to be a platinum screenwriter, and recently he had a big fight with Ding Xiaoman.

As a result, who would have expected Yu Xiaoshu to be so quiet in the crew.

Except for holding a small notebook, there is no noise in the meeting, and it is equally quiet when shooting.

Even Sun Hei and Xia Qing ignored Yu Xiaoshu.

Today Xia Qing left Yu Xiaoshu just thinking that Yu Xiaoshu is a screenwriter anyway, he didn't think about what Yu Xiaoshu could say.

but now.

It was astonishing.

Xia Qing is like this, so is Sun Hei.

Yu Xiaoshu explained the strengths and weaknesses of the role of Liang Anni. The sexiness and acting skills required by this role are 7 to 3. At the same time, he explained the particularity of this character to Sun Hei and Xia Qing.

For some women, she doesn't need acting skills, she just needs to show her stunner-like figure.

This should not be included in this list, but her figure in "I Am Yu Huanshui" is another layer of support for her acting skills.

"to make."

Sun Hei hesitated for a moment and said, "Then don't change it."

"Xiaoshu, since you have such an idea, you should have said it earlier."

Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then he complained to Yu Xiaoshu: "If you have any opinions in the future, feel free to say it."

Sun Hei said the same: "Yes, Xiaoshu, I said that we are people on the same boat, so there are some words that don't need to be scrutinized."

Yu Xiaoshu chuckled: "I just thought of it just now."

What are you kidding?
Sometimes it's fine to say something polite.

But don't take it seriously.

After the business was over, Sun Hei and Xia Qing took Yu Xiaoshu to have dinner together, and then talked about tomorrow's shooting scenes again during the meal.

Tomorrow, the group scene between KTV and Gan Hong's family will be filmed.

"Xiaoshu, rest early tonight."

Sun Hei patted Yu Xiaoshu's shoulder lightly and said, "We must cheer up tomorrow."

Yu Xiaoshu also wanted to go to bed earlier today.

but.

At 10 p.m., the doorbell to his room rang.

"Mr. Yu, I want to discuss the script with you."

Outside the door, a woman in pajamas held the script and said to Yu Xiaoshu lazily.
