This director is very reliable

Chapter 893 Why Are You Staring At Me? (13)

Who is Lao Shen?

Principled satyr!

He's lustful, but... he won't do things that don't follow the rules.

What are the rules, for example, now, if Guan Xiaotong wants a role, Shen Changlin will definitely not agree - she is not one of her own!

Just because of your long legs?
Guan Xiaotong was born as a child star, and she understands a set of old rules in the industry better than many adult female stars...

That's the problem!

Because she's following the old rules...

Times have long since changed!

More than ten years ago, when the capital was not so dense, ordinary actresses still had the opportunity to become popular with their acting skills. You can’t rely on acting skills, there are unspoken rules. As long as you are willing to offer yourself, the director will give you a chance …

In that era, unspoken rules were a shortcut, and it was also the best chance for some actresses to rise to the top, because the director had a lot of power.

But now, the capital is getting more and more intensive, and the investment to make a blockbuster movie is hundreds of millions. Which actor to choose depends mainly on the capital!
Yes, Shen Changlin has a lot of power, and he has the power to decide the casting of "Along with the Gods"...

But... he also wants to praise people!
Unless you are willing to spend money!
It is not enough to have unspoken rules as a shortcut. In the era of capital, if you want to be popular, please spend money.

Unless you are the first line!
The so-called first-line actresses: Renmei is good in drama, the audience loves it, and the circle gives face.

The most important thing is to give face in the circle, which means that you have a wide network!
Guan Xiaotong changed the subject: "Director Shen...Actually, I want your advice..."

"Point?"

Shen Changlin was a little speechless...

I came to the mountain city specially...

Still wearing boots and black silk?
Whether it is clothing or words and deeds, there are two words: seek solutions!

"Tell me!"

Shen Changlin raised his legs and pressed the gun strategically.

"The dramas I take on now are basically bad dramas..."

"Wait a minute... Bad show?"

"After "Mr. Good", I couldn't get a good script..."

That is, "Phoenix Prisoner", "Love of the Aurora", and "Sweet Crit" three times in a row, not only the word-of-mouth is as low as about 3 points on Douban, but the ratings are also very bad. Although it ranks first, the highest ratings are stable Around 0.7...

Now to evaluate a drama, it mainly depends on the popularity of the Internet!

The popularity of the three dramas on the Internet is very low!

Guan Xiaotong attributed this to not being able to receive a good script...

"...this matter..." Shen Changlin was about to make a long speech, when someone knocked on the door suddenly, and then Yang Xiaomi came in, and he immediately changed his words: "Ask your senior in the bad movie industry, she has a lot of experience in acting in bad movies, I can't , I have never filmed a bad scene!"

After finishing speaking, she warmly welcomes Yang Xiaomi to sit down, then brings them both tea and leaves...

Yang Xiaomi is a little confused...

She is indeed keeping a watchful attitude - after all, Guan Xiaotong is young and beautiful, with long legs...

Everything is in line with Shen Changlin's aesthetics!

After all, Da Mi Mi has passed 30 years old, it is normal to worry about the decline of her attractiveness...

After all, men, it's normal to like 18-year-olds!
That's why she has been marketing girlishness...

Guan Xiaotong is a little embarrassed, the gift she brought has an art photo!
Very artistic and very photogenic!

But Shen Changlin put it on the sofa without opening it at all...

Doesn't seem to notice!

If Yang Xiaomi sees this...

Large-scale social death scene...

Afraid of what to come, Yang Xiaomi happened to see the photo album and asked casually, "What is this?"

Then she opened...

……

Shen Changlin left without knowing about the photo album.

The filming of "Assassination of Novelists" is still very busy!

There are two assistant directors for this play, both of whom are young directors he is more optimistic about. They are Dong Xiangbo and Shen Leping, and the action director is Mu Ning.

The assistant director is mainly responsible for the construction of the second world...

These two are animation directors, and they were specially recruited by Shen Changlin.

Shen Changlin has been training new directors. After all, in the entertainment industry, directors are at the top of the food chain.

This is also the difference between him and the Beijing circle. What is the Beijing circle doing now?

Efforts to train Wu Yifan too!

The layout determines that this group of people will be abandoned by the audience sooner or later...

Why Choose Animation Director?

After all, the battle scene between Zhulongfang and Baihanfang in "The Novelist" requires a strong imagination!
In the original time and space, Shen Changlin had watched "The Novelist", and the battle scenes were still fresh in his memory: fireworks were like waterfalls, candle dragons were dark, mirrors were like ghosts, and there was a weird romance in the eerie killing.

The visual perception is great!
But that doesn't solve the logic problem - fiction is fiction, reality is just reality!
"Dead Poets Society" said, "Finance, engineering, architecture, and computing are important, and that is the condition of our existence, but poetry, romance, and love are the reasons we are born."

In the real world, literature is extremely popular and fades away, becoming a minority, while movies are just as popular.

It doesn’t make sense to abandon the assassination mission because of a novel—he has already discovered the traffickers at the beginning of the movie, and he heard the street children singing the nursery rhymes he once sang to his daughter in the middle of the movie.

He should have followed the clues and rammed wildly instead of turning to novels!
Therefore, in this version of "The Novelist", Guan Ning finally decided to do it, but was stopped by Tu Ling - Tu Ling remembered the previous memory!
Pulling back, the two assistant directors were discussing with Shen Changlin how to show the scene of "fire dragons flying from the sky, chariots lined up on the ground, killing intent scattered, and the battle scene destroying the world"...

Shen Changlin gave them great autonomy, with only one requirement: it must be an oriental aesthetic!

Those Chinese fantasy and fantasy blockbusters directed by Hong Kong are simply "difficult to describe".

It's hard for you to think clearly why the Hong Kong filmmakers who have made countless classic "Oriental Fantasy" have all been reduced to "No Chinese, No Foreign" after 2010.

The most typical is Liu Weiqiang, 1998's "The Hero of the Wind and Cloud Dominates the World", 1999's "Chinese Hero", and 2000's "Decisive Battle on the Top of the Forbidden City".

What now?
In 2012, he directed "Blood Droplet" and in 2018, he directed "Wulin Monster".

Needless to say, the special effects of these movies, not to mention the "neither Chinese nor foreign" art aesthetics.

In addition to the story and special effects of "Novelist", the most important aspects are art, filters, setting and service, etc.

It must conform to the aesthetics of oriental fantasy blockbusters!
"Director, is the red-haired ghost's appearance like this?"

Shen Changlin picked it up and looked at it, then shook his head: "Change it a bit more... This is a comic-like movie, even if it is a villain, we don't want it to look particularly ugly... What's more, if it is too ugly, it may not be able to appear on the screen. Show it!"

"I think the most difficult thing is the action design... The red-haired ghost is 15 meters tall, how to show the fight between real people and giant monsters?"

Indeed, this thing can only be imagined. If such a giant creature really exists in reality, obviously our camera is very small compared to it!
Shen Changlin waved his hand: "There is no rush, the special effects team is working on a virtual shooting engine. Once it is completed, we can completely simulate the difference between big and small in the engine, and also realize motion capture..."

Oh, he was chatting with a group of people in the next room. The chat was in full swing. Yang Xiaomi pushed the door in and said, "Teachers, it's time to rest. It's already past 12 o'clock in the evening!"

While speaking, he even gave Shen Changlin a look...

It made him a little weird...

what are you staring at me for?

It's not that I asked Guan Xiaotong to come and look for me!
