How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 10 Changing the Shooting Technique
[Jingcheng Martial Art Museum] The reason why this project was able to be born, apart from the background of the old Luca in Disney who is considered to be a master of the sky, is to follow the trend of oriental action movies set off by the big brother Chenglong.

So in the entire [Jingcheng Martial Art Museum] project, the actors' micro-expression performances are actually not very important.

This movie is going to be released in North America. Chinese people are face blind when they see foreigners, and foreigners are also face blind when they see Chinese people.

Foreigners don't have the heart to watch the micro-expression or something. What they want to watch is the wonderful fight.

In order to ensure this, Zhang Nan found more than a dozen well-known action directors for the crew of [Jingcheng Wuguan]. He even tried to invite Yuan Hepin from Xiangjiang, but the other party was too busy to get away. No - of course, there are also secondary reasons for not being paid properly.

"Everyone is a master and an expert. I don't know how to guide movements and am an outsider.

But -- I want to emphasize that this is making a movie.

I'm a director, and I hire people to come here just to make the shots I want. "When he said these words, Zhang Nan's tone was a little heavy.

But at this time, his tone can no longer be serious.

Although he has a golden finger and can forcibly increase the film's box office to nearly [-] million US dollars after the film is released, it does not mean that Zhang Nan can let the film quality go.

On the contrary, Zhang Nan still has requirements for it, and it is quite strict. This is the dignity of a reborn person.

As soon as Zhang Nan's voice fell to the ground, the next group of action directors all began to think sadly.

At the beginning, when Zhang Nan said that the fighting movements were not good, these action directors still felt that the fighting movements were not beautiful, because Zhang Nan had never learned martial arts, and the movements were not standard.

But Zhao Benshan and Jiang Wen's martial arts moves, Zhang Nan also shook his head and said no, even after these people went to demonstrate in person, Zhang Nan still shook his head after seeing it, these martial artists knew that the problem was not with the performers, but with the design It does not meet Zhang Nan's requirements.

But no matter how serious Zhang Nan's words are, if the problem can be solved, no one will procrastinate.

So this meeting could only get bigger and bigger, and gradually most of the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew came.

"Guide Nan, drink some water."

Just as Zhang Nan was sitting on the side waiting for everyone to arrive, Jiang Wen, who was in his thirties, came up to him. Although Zhang Nan was younger than Jiang Wen, when Jiang Wen called Zhang Nan, he was very special. It's hot, nothing to be ashamed of.

"Brother Jiang, you're too polite." Zhang Nan took the tea and replied equally politely.

When Zhang Nan chose Jiang Wen before, he was worried that he would not get along well with him and cause conflicts.

After all, in the news that he heard in his previous life, needless to say, this talent is definitely there. After all, he can be as tough as a big director of Zhang Guoshi's level in the crew, and he just won, really. not much.

But the personality is also really difficult. Didn’t a certain director surnamed Lu cry because he was bullied by him because he was too young? Zhang Nan was really hesitant about this thorn in the beginning.

But I didn't expect that when the other party came to the crew, he was so obedient, and he didn't even complain about it. Zhang Nan thought that the news about his bad personality in his previous life was fake news.

But Zhang Nan came to his senses and wanted to understand.

Firstly, Jiang Wen was still young at this time and hadn't grown to a full body, and he was not banned from making movies; The investment in the project was indeed large, and Jiang Wen didn't dare to pierce it, that's why he was so honest.

Zhang Nan saw that Jiang Wen didn't leave after handing over the water, "Do you have something to say?".

"I have something to say, is it convenient?" Jiang Wen was more polite.

Zhang Nan waved his hand, "If there is any inconvenience, brother Jiang can just say it."

Jiang Wen nodded, "The action scenes I watched were actually quite good. Why are you not satisfied with any of them? Why?"

In the beginning, Jiang Wen's politeness to Zhang Nan was actually fake politeness, which belonged to the kind of people who had to bow their heads under the eaves.

But as the action scenes continued to NG, Jiang Wen suddenly felt.

Huh?This one seems to have artistic pursuits in movies just like him.

But after watching it for a long time, Jiang Wen didn't see anything wrong with those action scenes, so he wanted to ask.

Is it because he is not good enough in movies and can't see the problem, or Zhang Nan has nothing to find fault with.

Faced with Jiang Wen's question, Zhang Nan really had a hard time answering it, because it was a matter of vision.

Just like clothing trends, people in the 21st century will definitely feel dirty when looking at the clothes of people in the [-]th century.

But you can't talk about this kind of soil with people in the [-]th century, because people can't feel it if you talk about it.

This is the predicament of Zhang Nan's fight scene now.

The fighting scenes formulated by these action directors are considered excellent in this era, but in Zhang Nan's view, they are too old-fashioned and blunt.

But he is not a professional in action movies, so he can't guide him for a while, so he can only keep shouting.

These actual conditions must not be said, but Zhang Nan will fool, no, it is another implicit way of saying it!

"Brother Jiang, you are also from the film academy, so you must have learned a lot about film theory, so what kind of film do you think can be considered art?"

This question aroused Jiang Wen's interest, because he will make movies in the future for art, such as "A Bright Day at the Sun Pass" that has already been filmed, and "What's Coming" and "The Sun Rises High" to be filmed in the future ], [One Step Away], [Evil Overwhelms Righteousness]... and other films are all in the pursuit of art.

"Art is not what the creators say, or deliberately add some ethics, drama, reincarnation, love and hate, metaphors... and other fancy things in the creation, spell out a colorful thing, that is art.

Art should be at the forefront of trends, or in other words, aesthetics ahead of the times.

A real art film does not mean that it is good to watch now, but that you have to watch it ten years later, and it can still make you feel that it is not outdated, and it is still good.

Of course, I can't make all elements of a movie ahead of its time from beginning to end. That's what film masters can do.

What I can do is to pursue art in action scenes, so that people who will watch the fights in this movie ten years later feel that they are still not old-fashioned and good-looking. "

These words are from Zhang Nan's heart, but they are also words of deceit.

But obviously, Jiang Wen was fooled into it by Zhang Nan, and after hearing what Zhang Nan had said, he was left speechless for a long time in a daze.

Zhang Nan had no time to control Jiang Wen who was in a daze. Seeing this guy was stunned, Zhang Nan got up and walked to the meeting where all the crew members had already gathered. After discussing for a long time, there was no reason to discuss the whole crew behind the scenes.

"If we can't come to an agreement, let's force it directly?" Zhang Nan gritted his teeth and became ruthless.

"Come hard? How come?"

Everyone has question marks all over their heads, and they can still do it hard when making a movie.

"Find more assistant directors and photographers who can draw sub-shots. The martial arts director will tell them his movements. The assistant director will design the sub-shots, and the photographer will shoot. Don't feel bad about the film. Shoot me to death. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. You can always slow down. Slowly grind out the lens."

Zhang Nan's method is relatively stupid, relying on a large amount of material, repeated trial and error, and finally shot the shot.

If making a movie is like fighting a war, then generally making a movie is a routine of interspersed tactics if you are poor, but the method proposed by Zhang Nan now is a method of fighting when you are rich.

Even in the era of digital movies that do not burn film, such an operation would be quite costly.

When the film is not cheap nowadays, the cost is even higher.

However, Zhang Nan was reborn from the future after all, and he still has some impressions of the wonderful action scene style of the future in his mind, so if he really wants to do this, the cost will not be too scary.

And... an investment equivalent to 4000 million yuan, he can afford it.
