What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 45 The Spirit of Professionalism

For three days in a row, Jiang Shiyu drove Yang Shu and Liu Man around to determine the shooting location.

The Zicaowu area has been remodeled in the past few years. The buildings and streets are very new, and the shooting was basically done nearby. After all, there are no special scene requirements for the three works.

On December [-]th, three days before the filming started, Liu Man booked eight rooms at the student hotel near his home. Except for the three of them, the rest of the staff and actors moved in. The crew of the first season of "A Wonderful World" was officially established.

Compared with the filming of "Lovers at the Table", although the investment for each work is lower, the actual disposable funds are relatively sufficient, and the staffing is more complete. After all, as a director, Yang Shu can no longer act as a lighting engineer or a porter. .

However, many positions were saved. For example, Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu took turns taking charge of drama management and scene notes when there was no drama, and Jiang Shiyu continued to be in charge of costumes.

"Reasoning Taxi" and "Future Classmates" do not have complicated clothing requirements, they are all ordinary clothes, as long as they meet the identity.

Because "Beauty Tax" was empty, the tax officials and the police officers who arrested the heroine needed to be subdued. Jiang Shiyu had already placed an order on Taobao a few days in advance.

Taobao is really amazing. You can find all kinds of uniforms from various countries in different periods. After discussing with Yangshu, I ordered a few sets that looked cool and were of good quality.

The police uniform they sent was of a certain country in East Asia, with traditional Chinese characters embroidered on it: Organized Crime Countermeasures Headquarters of the Police Department. Although it was not original, the degree of reproduction was quite high.

In addition, there are wristbands, pairings, armbands, and police badges, which are also quite realistic. A little modification can blur the nationality.

Two of them are female police uniforms, and Yang Shu asked them to be professional: "To arrest a female criminal suspect according to the law, there must be a female police officer present, and the details must not be sloppy."

After the arrival of the goods, Ning Song was particularly interested in the police uniforms, and offered to be a guest policeman at that time, so as to get addicted to the uniforms.

With his size and beard, he looks really stylish.

In addition, he asked Yang Shu eagerly: "After the filming, the female police uniform is useless. Can you give me a set, complete with armbands and police badges, and I will take it back for my girlfriend to have fun too."

It's not that his girlfriend wants to have a good time, but that he is going to continue to have a good time, and Yang Shu readily agrees.

Jiang Shiyu has a lot of opinions on this: "If this pervert wants to buy it himself, why did he pick up our costumes?"

Yang Shu expressed his understanding of this: "Used costumes are more immersive, and they have the spirit of pursuing the ultimate, which deserves respect."

Since Jiang Shiyu said that, there was nothing he could do: "Whatever, this guy is boring and obscene."

This is not obscene, Yang Shu really admires people like Ning Song who can watch Ivy movies from beginning to end, this is also professionalism.

Poplar also has its own professionalism, which may be a bit weird in the eyes of outsiders.

Some aspects of the actor's profession are the same as those of athletes, and they must obey the arrangements. For example, female athletes must report their menstrual periods so that coaches can arrange training and competitions.

Actresses don't need privacy in this regard, especially the lead actors.

We all know that the skin quality of women will deteriorate a lot during menstruation, with oily cheeks, acne breakouts on the forehead and chin, and even peeling and dullness.

It is more difficult to apply makeup during this period, and the effect is even worse, so it is necessary to avoid this period as much as possible for important shooting work.

"Beauty Tax" was filmed for four days, so Yang Shu handed the mobile phone calendar to Jiang Shiyu and Liu Man on the day he got the money to register the date.

Good girlfriends or classmates who get along day and night under the same roof have an interesting phenomenon. After a period of time, their menstrual periods become simultaneous or next to each other. This is called the "McLintock effect".

It is said that potential factors such as smell and pheromone hormones are also communicated between people, and the physiological period is affected by hormones.

Therefore, the dates of the two girls are basically synchronized, and after calculation, around NO.20 is the peak of appearance, because it is the ovulation period, and the industry knows that women's endocrine is the most balanced and attractive at this time.

Yang Shu immediately announced: "Although the time is a bit tight, for the sake of looking good, we still start on NO.20 in December."

Is this an invasion of privacy?

Athletes have to take medicine to adjust their menstrual periods in order to compete, compared to actresses who pay much less.

Both Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu are professionals, so it was a bit embarrassing for Yang Shu to openly calculate this period and that period, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Three days before the filming started, the makeup was fixed. As the beauties in "Beauty Tax", Jiang Shiyu and Liu Man's styling and makeup had to stand strict tests.

After all, it is a beauty tax, and if the appearance is not convincing, the works will not stand up.

Jiang Shiyu usually likes to have long hair fluttering, and Yang Shu asked him to tie it up to reveal a refreshing forehead.

People's eyebrows and eyes are the most expressive. Unless the plot requires it, occlusion is not a wise choice.

Yang Shu has always had a hard time understanding the way some male actors hang their hair down to cover one eye, which is obviously not conducive to performance and looks like a girl, but they think it's cool.

Many viewers also have a confusion. The makeup and styling of a certain actor in the play are very good-looking, and they can show almost all their advantages.

However, actors choose another look in their lives, even with a very different style, and the effect looks much worse.

Why is this so?
This is a matter of aesthetic level and personal preference. Actors' self-awareness and expectations are different from those of audiences. They think they choose to be more handsome or better-looking.

Gong Yuqing designed five or six makeup looks for both Jiang Shiyu and Liu Man.

Yang Shu is very picky about makeup, always staring at the scene, never relaxing in every detail.

Every time one comes out, it is almost studying with its face in its hands, as if it is holding exquisite porcelain.

Ning Song took photos and videos of each makeup, and then compared, researched and selected.

Every time Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu raised their faces silently, looking very cute.

It took a whole day for the two of them to change their makeup, and it was only after nine o'clock in the evening that the final decision was made.

When I got home at night, Liu Man couldn't help feeling emotional: "I used to learn that directors dominate others, but now I'm an actress who is infinitely dominated. For a while, I really suspected that I might have Stockholm Syndrome."

These words seem meaningful. The so-called Stockholm syndrome, also known as Stockholm syndrome or hostage syndrome, refers to a complex in which the victim has feelings for the perpetrator and even helps the perpetrator in turn.

Many directors have a strong desire to dominate, and even interfere with the daily life of actors during filming. It is indeed easy to establish a Stockholm-like effect.

The next two days are rehearsals. Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu have already rehearsed their lines two or three times at home these days under Yang Shu's guidance, mainly in dialogue with other actors.

The other actors in these three plays are basically Jiang Shiyu's classmates, except for the colleagues and policemen in "Beauty Tax", and the other two male and one female classmates in "Future Classmates".

All the actors needed have been contacted. In "Beauty Tax", there are still a few white and black actors. Ning Song knows a lot of models in commercials. Among them, Eastern European models are beautiful and cheap. Although black models are rarely used, contact It's not difficult either.

The young people are very energetic in cooperating together, and the preparation work is quite smooth. NO.19 pulled back the equipment in the afternoon.

Everything is ready, NO.20 In the early morning, the first season of "Wonderful Events in the World" will start.
