Entertainment: let you sell miserably, not let you Versailles

Ye Feng looked at Zhang Zifeng in surprise: "Zifeng, how did you think of these qualities? I mean, how did you think of giving the character Chen Nian these three qualities, instead of indifference, numbness and selfishness?" What about its characteristics?”

"Judging from the script alone, it would make sense if you gave the character Chen Nian selfishness, numbness and indifference!"

"Because I'm the same as her... maybe I didn't think about it that much. That's what I thought when I saw the script!"

After hearing Zhang Zifeng's answer, Ye Feng looked at her subconsciously, knowing that she was not telling the truth, but he did not intend to pursue the question any further. Although this girl was not old, she had her own ideas.

At least, in her previous life, almost everyone in the world was opposed to her relationship, but she remained indifferent, and at that time, she even asked her mother to form her own agent team.

But to say that Chen Nian and Zhang Zifeng were in the same situation, Ye Feng couldn't figure it out. As far as he knew, although Zhang Zifeng's mother had strict control over her, she had always protected her.

At least it is said that she has never been allowed to attend cocktail parties, and her mother has always helped her to reject invitations to cocktail parties. She should be well protected. How could she do this? Does the character Chen Nian feel the same way?
Although there were many questions in his mind, Ye Feng did not ask any more questions and just kept them in his mind.

"Zifeng, actually you should give Chen Nian another trait."

"Oh? What trait?"

"Kind!"

"Goodness oil!"

"It's not the kindness brought by hope, but the kindness of her nature. You see, she clearly knows that she may become the next target of bullying if she helps the bully classmate. Even though she is trembling, she still helps. Got it!"

"She and Xiao Bei met by chance, but when she saw Xiao Bei being beaten, she still chose to call the police. This was not because she had hope in her heart, but because she was kind-hearted."

"The reason why the male protagonist and the female protagonist in this drama can redeem each other is because although they are both stuck in quagmire, they are both kind-hearted in nature, so they become a beam of light for each other."

"So, I personally think you should also give this character the trait of kindness. This trait may not be needed in the early stages of the plot, but you will need to show it in the later stages. Do you understand?"

After listening to Ye Feng's words, Zhang Zifeng thought for a while, then his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I understand, brother, you are really amazing. You understood my role thoroughly at once."

Looking at Zhang Zifeng's expression, Ye Feng was in a daze, as if he had seen his former self.

I used to admire Teacher Wu Gang, Teacher Shanshan and Teacher Chen so much, but I didn't expect that only two years later, I would already be admired by others.

Perhaps starting from Dear, Love, Ye Feng gradually realized that he was no longer a primary school student in the acting school, but an acting master who had already graduated and could even be someone else's teacher.

"Okay, in fact, your character creation has been very perfect. At least for today's acting, I give you a hundred points, which is very good." Ye Feng gave Zhang Zifeng a thumbs up.

Zhang Zifeng immediately smiled and said: "Thank you, brother. Actually, brother, you know, I think I am really suitable for this drama, and I think you are Xiaobei in my life. You have brought me hope." Redemption.”

"What a mess, you're into a drama, you're talking as if you're living in water and fire."

Zhang Zifeng just smiled and said nothing.

"By the way, we've finished work, why haven't you left yet?"

"I'll ask the assistant to leave first. Can I take your car back to the hotel later?"

"Of course. It just so happens that we can play each other."

"I think so too!"

Ye Feng didn't notice at all that from the time she joined the group, Zhang Zifeng's eyes changed slightly from when he looked at her with longing for Shen Qian.

On the way back in the car, Ye Feng and Zhang Zifeng were chatting around the script, but they were either playing against each other, or they were using the script as an introduction, and they went off topic while chatting.

Returning to the hotel room, Xiao Yu helped Ye Feng check whether anyone had come in and said, "Brother Feng, do you feel that Zifeng is a little bit wrong with you?"

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, she is still a little girl. Okay, you can go to rest early when you are done with your work. I will go to the director's room."

"Okay, Brother Feng!"

Xiaoyu replied with a smile.

Ye Feng walked out of the room, glanced at Zhang Zifeng's room, and frowned slightly. What happened to this girl? Is it really true that she is in love?
He shook his head, it shouldn’t be possible!
Ye Feng walked towards the director's room, straightened his clothes, and then knocked on the door.

Click, the door opens.

"Master Feng!"

"Director, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. Well, I brought some fruit to go with the red wine. I wonder if the director has time?"

"Great. I'm worried that no one will have a drink with me. Please come in!"

Ye Feng immediately happily walked into the director's room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a bottle of red wine on the table in the room, and they were already awake. There were some nuts on the table.

However, when he saw two empty red wine glasses, Ye Feng was stunned, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face. The sentimental person said those words to him on purpose!
"Come on, Mr. Feng, sit down quickly. I'm planning to raise a toast to Mingyue and meet the three of them in the studio!"

"Director, if you don't mind, please call me Xiao Feng. To be honest, this title is just what netizens call me."

No matter whether it is intentional or unintentional, let’s get closer to each other first.

"Wake up, then I'll call you Xiaofeng, come on, sit down, and I'll pour it for you."

Ye Feng sat down and put the food and wine he had brought with him.

"Come, let's have a drink!"

Ding!
You must not drink all the red wine in one drink. After drinking it, Ye Feng said: "Director, this movie is really troublesome for you!"

"It should be, it should be, this is my job too, no trouble at all."

"I think being a director is still more troublesome than being an actor. You see, we actors only need to play our roles well, but directors are different. We have to take into account all aspects. 0"

"To be honest, I studied with the director all day today, and I didn't even get a clue. Director, please try this foie gras. It goes very well with red wine."

"Really? Then I want to give it a try. Well, it's really good. But speaking of this director, he is actually the same as you actors. How you actors start acting is how our directors start filming."

"Come on, have another drink!"

"I respect you, but it's different. You see, when we actors are filming, we will get the script and start shaping the character. It can be said that we haven't started filming yet. What kind of temperament should this character have? What kind of character should we have?" His expressions and movements are all mapped out in his mind."

"Then just compare the lines and perform the performance step by step. As for the director... it's not that simple!"

The director looked at Ye Feng in surprise. He could tell that Ye Feng was already able to skillfully shape characters. This kid had only filmed a few movies. Didn't he just debut for more than two years?

Although he was surprised, he pinched a nut and put it into his mouth and said casually: "They are all the same. We, the second director, are going to get the script!"

"But isn't the script used to figure out the characters?"

"For an actor, the script is of course used to figure out the character, but for the director, the script is used to analyze the shots."

"Um, can you tell me more about it? I'm quite curious!"

"Actually, there is nothing to say. Just like you actors, the first thing you have to consider after getting the script is the lines, background, emotions, etc. As for our directors, after getting the script, we will divide it into shots. Then think about whether this scene should be a medium shot, a long shot or a panoramic shot, how to use the light, how to distribute the shots, how to position the actors, etc."

"Does this shot rely on characters to interpret, or does it rely on light, scenery, etc..."

As the director spoke, he glanced at Ye Feng. When he found that Ye Feng was listening attentively, a smile appeared on his lips. Then when Ye Feng was listening most intently, he suddenly said: "Xiao Feng, why are you stunned? , come, drink!”

"Huh? Oh, drink, I respect you!"

After drinking, Ye Feng wanted the director to continue talking, but the director just stopped talking, making Ye Feng extremely anxious.

The director felt happy when he saw Ye Feng scratching his head, and then slowly said: "Actually, just like you actors shaping characters, we directors also have something. If you can master it, go step by step. Shooting is basically a point-and-shoot operation.”

When Ye Feng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Xiao Feng, come and drink!"

"Okay!" Ye Feng drank it all in one gulp, then put down the glass and continued to stare at the director!

"Oh, you can't drink this red wine like this. You have to taste it slowly." Ye Feng glanced at the empty red wine glass, and suddenly his heart felt like it was on fire. It was so uncomfortable.

Seeing Ye Feng going crazy, the director smiled and said, "This thing is called split shots!"

"Shots?"

Ye Feng is familiar with this thing, because the first skill given to him by the system boss is camera splitting.

The director smiled and said: "Yes, in fact, the most important thing for new directors to learn is shot splitting. Oh, it's a pity that I don't have paper and pen. I'll tell you next time."

"I have!"

Ye Feng quickly took out a notebook from the waistband of his trousers, and then took out a pen from his pocket and handed it to the director.

The director smiled even more happily when he saw Ye Feng's actions. He took the notebook and flipped through it twice, and the shock in his eyes became even deeper.

In just one day, Ye Feng had already recorded more than a dozen pages of things in this notebook. The director did not read it carefully. He turned to the last page and said while drawing: "For example, let's take our first scene in a few years. The first moment I saw the script, this was the first image I formed.”

"The crowd, the protagonist's rules of action, the setting, the lighting. Of course, you also need to write some things you think should be added next to this, such as who the close-up is for, whether the close-up is a person or an object, the character's expression, and What kind of movement trajectory should the camera move, the protagonist’s position, and how should the action trajectory be?”

"Look, after you draw all of this, and when the shooting officially starts, you will shoot according to this shot. Are you a fool?"

Ye Feng stared blankly at the scene outlined by the director in three strokes and two strokes. Although the characters were all stick figures, the expressions and camera movements marked next to them were compared one by one with the scene he saw today, and they were exactly the same!
For the first time, he knew that this was how the shooting skill was used.

"Director, what are the elements of storyboarding?"

"no!"

"No? Why isn't there? There are obviously so many!"

"These are my personal thoughts, but everyone's thoughts are different. Just like when you actors are portraying characters, some of you portray the character as a man, a handsome guy, with his hands in his pockets and his eyes looking down!"

"Some people create characters with sad eyes, solemn expressions, twitching mouth corners, trembling hands, leaning against the building, decadent temperament, etc."

"Do you understand? All actors know how to create characters, but some people are just skin and bones, while others are flesh and blood, with life and soul!"

"The same goes for split shots. Some directors may have a picture in their mind of a group of people, the protagonist's position, and everyone's expressions. These are also split shots. My split shots will take into account lighting, close-ups, camera movements, etc."

"The key point is people's thoughts. If it is stipulated that what kind of picture should have what kind of elements, then wouldn't every director produce the same thing?"

Ye Feng understood that some actors can express a variety of emotions, while others are always silly and sweet, with a paralyzed face. Different acting skills and different abilities to shape characters are different.

The same goes for splitting shots. The director’s skills are different, so the images shot will naturally be different. In the final analysis, the person is still in charge of the camera, not the person in charge of the mirror.

He kept all of this in his heart, while the director kept all of Ye Feng's current performance in his heart. Both of them were extremely satisfied.

Ye Feng came to his senses, poured a glass of red wine and said to the director: "Director, let me toast you."

After finishing speaking, he drank it in one gulp.

"Oh, this is red wine, not white wine, what a waste, what a waste!"

Although the director said so, he was very happy in his heart. This also showed from the side that Ye Feng's gratitude to him was true.

"Director, actually I still have a doubt that I don't quite understand."

"Well, come and listen!"

"When there was a scene today, where Chen Nian was questioned by the police, I noticed that your initial shot did not show Chen Nian's front, but her back, and it stayed there for several seconds. The room The same goes for the light inside, there is bright light on the police side, and there are shadows on Chen Nian's side."

"Did you design this intentionally?"

After listening to Ye Feng's words, the director was shocked by his attentiveness. How good is this guy's camera sense? How could he know all his designs at a glance?

Does he really not understand, or is he deliberately coming to my side to act like a good boy?

The shocked director still kept a smile on his face and said, "You actors have so-called emotional expression, expression rendering and body language. In fact, the director is also an actor."

"The director is also an actor?"

"Yes, it's just that the director's acting skills don't rely on himself, but on his energy. We collectively call it lens language."

"Camera language?"

"It's like the scene you just mentioned. The police asked Chen Nian about the cause of Hu Xiaodie's death. Chen Nian obviously knew it, but in order to avoid getting into trouble, she chose to lie. So at the beginning I gave her a close-up of the north. Tell the audience that she feels guilty at this time and has no face to face the world."

"Similarly, putting her in the shadows, on the one hand, means that she is about to enter the darkness. On the other hand, it also means that her heart is still in the darkness, and the kindness in her heart is still being sung."

"When she met Xiao Bei later, she was redeemed and turned from darkness to light. This is also a lens language that tells the audience that Chen Nian's mentality has changed at this moment."

"The police are in the light, and Chen Nian is in the darkness. There will also be a sharp contrast, a contrast between controversy and sneakiness."

Ye Feng looked at the director blankly. He never expected that a single shot of light could convey so many layers of meaning.

"It's not just about the light. A mature director will have many, many intentional expressions in his pictures. This second point gives you the opportunity to go and see Assassin Nie Yingniang, where the use of wind and fallen leaves is almost astonishing. He has reached the point of perfection."

Ye Feng nodded heavily in the store, and at the same time kept the camera language in mind.

"Then, the shot of that city..."

"Okay, don't bite off more than you can chew. Let's digest the story first. We'll talk about the rest later. When you have time, you can often come to me for a drink or two, but you have to prepare the wine yourself."

Ye Feng suddenly looked up at the director. When he saw the smile on the director's face, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, director, I..."

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth. Your teacher called me and asked me to take more care of you."

"Teacher!!!" Ye Feng's heart trembled.

"Your teacher really likes you, Ye Feng. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I'm different from your teacher. He can't help but take the initiative to give some advice when he sees a good idea. I'm more stubborn. Study, study, if you don’t ask me, no matter how much I admire you, I won’t take the initiative to teach you.”

"However, I can now understand your teacher's feelings. For those of us, meeting students like you, even teaching is a pleasant thing. You can understand everything at once, and you still work hard to make progress. Ye Feng, you are really Very good.”

"But, again, bite off more than you can chew. There is still a long time. Go back and rest early, and then think carefully about the things I gave you today."

Ye Feng looked at the director, then stood up and bowed ninety degrees: "Thank you, director!"

"Ye Feng, do you want to be my student?"

Hearing the director suddenly ask this question, Ye Feng looked up at him, and finally shook his head firmly and said, "I'm sorry, director, I already have a teacher!"

"Oh, what a pity. You can go back and come back when you have digested it."

"Thank you Director."

Ye Feng picked up his notebook and pen and turned to leave.

After he left, the director picked up his cell phone and dialed the call, and soon Chen Daoming's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"what's up?"

"Don't be so angry. Your good apprentice didn't let you down. He came to me. I didn't hide my secrets. I taught them all."

"Tell me about you, isn't this still teaching, and you still have to put on airs!"

"I'm not trying to show off. I've always believed that no one will value something that's too easy to get. If he wants something from me, he has to take the initiative. Otherwise, no matter how good the seedling is, I won't teach him."

"Tell me, why do you have such a bad temper?"

"That's just me, but I want to tell you something. Your apprentice is not interested in actors and acting skills. He wants to be a director." (End of Chapter)
