This director needs to apologize

Chapter 101 One-size-fits-all can’t be finished

It is said that a biting dog never barks, and the kinder a person is, the more bluffing he becomes. Chen Yiming just now is a perfect portrayal.

Xiangrui, who thought he knew Chen Yiming relatively well, stared blankly at this "old friend" whom he had known for three years as if he were a stranger.

She had been running around all morning, and she didn't see people sneaking into the woods to indulge in cigarettes. There were quite a few of them, some of them danced irregularly and happily, and some of them were just imitating others.

Don’t treat them differently, just give them a blanket ban?
It seems like you haven’t been specifically reminded not to smoke before, right?Does this count as killing without teaching?

She looked at Chen Yiming, who was squatting next to the ditch discussing with the stage manager and the engineer captain. He still looked familiar as usual, with a gentle smile on his face. It seemed that he was not the one who caught someone squirting in public just now.

After thinking about it, Xiangrui suppressed the idea of ​​confirming with Chen Yiming again, and directly took out his phone and called Ma Yunteng.

Because it was the first day of filming, Da Zhuang also came with the car. As for the other two producers, they had left their assistants to run away with buckets.

At this moment, Da Zhuang was playing games in the temporary camp built in a wooden house. After hearing Xiangrui's brief introduction, he stepped on a bicycle and came over without saying a word.

When Chen Yiming greeted him yesterday, he knew that this would happen, but he didn't expect to take action so early.

Chen Yiming has already figured out the construction plan here. It is actually very simple. One layer of quick-drying cement for leveling, and a second layer of quick-drying cement for track laying.

The working length is less than 2 meters, plus the waiting time for the cement to solidify, it takes 1 hour.

Da Zhuang stopped Chen Yiming on his way to the prison shed. He dared to ask while Xiangrui didn't dare to ask.

"Master Zhu, do you need to go to war in such a big way?"

Chen Yiming asked directly, "On a windy day in spring, I am smoking in a military restricted area. Do you think I will go to war?
If I send them directly to the bureau, they should all be punished accordingly. I'm already being more open-minded about sending them away, okay? "

Ma Yunteng immediately responded, "You don't have to live broadcast the legal process for me, just tell me the real reason."

Chen Yiming was confident and confident, "On the first day of filming, I raised my tail in the first scene. I am trying to scare the monkeys. Is this the real reason?"

"That definitely counts. Anyone who dares to look down on our Director Chen will be killed without mercy. But aren't you killing a little too much? At a rough estimate, it's already an even number!

Let them go in the afternoon?Are you still filming your scenes? "

Chen Yiming approached Da Zhuang and lowered his voice and said, "What a slap! At the current pace, I'm afraid we won't be rehearsing all the way this week."

The shooting time I set aside for the opening scene is one week. If God gives me some respect, I might be able to squeeze it into 4 days. If I don't, I can squeeze it into two weeks.

So you hurry up and replace someone. The new guy needs to be on the road, adapt, and get used to it. You have to start early. "

After Chen Yiming finished speaking, he left Mr. Ma on the spot and took Xiangrui directly to the prison shed.

After Xiangrui entered the shed, Chen Yiming turned around and closed the thick door curtain.

The mighty and domineering Director Chen was stunned for a moment. He saw this guy with his hands clasped together and bowing to Sang Ping and Paul who were immersed in cooking in the shed.

He was still mumbling, "I was really offended just now, I hope you two can forgive me."

Xiangrui froze in place as if she had seen a ghost, but she had been shocked so many times today that she had a desensitization effect, so her translation for Paul was not delayed at all.

Mr. Sang tilted his head with a half-smile, looked him up and down, and said in a sinister tone, "Hey! Isn't this Director Chen? Straighten your back quickly. This bad old man like me can't bear your gift."

Chen Yiming changed the topic with a playful smile, "Teacher Sang can definitely bear it. You are satisfied with the lunch. The conditions in the field are simple, so please be patient."

Sang Ping couldn't laugh or cry, "Okay, okay, stop being pretentious here, you're a kid but a devil!"
I know it's not easy for you to set up shop, so I'll support you with a raft.

However, you must understand that you should not go too far in establishing your power. Accumulating power comes from your own body. In the next few months, you should take care of yourself! "

Chen Yiming listened solemnly and said, "Thank you, Teacher Sang, for your guidance. I understand."

Paul over there looked confused after hearing Xiangrui's translation, "Why do you need to apologize to me? Chen is right. There was indeed something wrong with that shot. I wasted the whole team's time. I will learn a lesson."

Chen, when will the track be laid? I will do a few more tests this time, give me some time. "

Sometimes I have to say that dealing with foreigners saves brain cells. As long as you give them enough money, everything else will be easy.

……

If the public outburst made everyone on the crew realize Director Chen's bad temper, then the mass dismissal in the afternoon made everyone see Director Chen's ruthlessness.

15 people cleared out in one wave, and even a minibus was pulled away.

There are people from all groups behind the scenes, with the least from the photography team, the most from the props and drama staff, and even a female makeup artist.

There must be some injustice among them, such as those who followed the chat but did not show respect, or those who accepted the message but did not click on it at all.

It's a pity that the crew is not a court. This is a full-scale one-man court, and no solid evidence is needed to make a decision.

Chen Yiming reserved time for each group to reorganize, plus the test time for Paul to prepare, so the afternoon "rehearsal" was postponed until 2:[-].

This time, the atmosphere in the entire crew suddenly became a lot more chilly. Chen Yiming gave an order and the relevant personnel immediately got into action. The non-related personnel either simply got into trouble, and those who stayed on the scene were extremely honest and honest.Sang Ping simply stayed in the prison shed and his assistant controlled the "cannon barrel" to complete the first segment of filming.

Through the monitor, Sang Ping had to admit that his apprentice was indeed more slick at operating the keyboard controller than he was.

The old man glanced at Chen Yiming, who was staring intently. He didn't expect that this kid was really not lying. He was not unfair in his rafting!

The truck stopped perfectly again, and Paul stood on the camera truck, holding the camera and being pushed out by his assistant.

Now he doesn't have to worry about his own movement. He only needs to duck down in time to stabilize the view frame as the rail car rises, and operate the camera at the same time.

For a Steadicam master, there is no difficulty in being divided.

When the extras came into the shot, and after Liao Feifei showed her normal professionalism, the makeup of the actors in the shot immediately underwent a qualitative change.

All excess clothing was removed. After all, the soldiers were here to transport supplies, not to march.

More personalized treatments have also been added to the clothing and shoes, which are all mixed and realistic. One of the soldiers who climbed into the trunk has a very conspicuous large patch on the back of the buttocks, which is the finishing touch.

Liu Dongjun enters the frame, Paul steps off the rail car steadily, and the long shot smoothly enters the second half.

Xiao Liu, who was severely beaten by his master, cannot be said to have made any progress at all, but only very little.

Chen Yiming was mentally prepared. There was no other solution to the actor's problem but to reshoot again and again.

It is common for some paranoid directors to shoot a scene more than ten times and dozens of times. The actors who are tortured in this way are all actors and actresses from all walks of life.

Can you say that it's because their acting skills are so poor that they continue to NG?That's certainly not the case.

It's inevitable for movie stars to vomit during filming, let alone a cute newcomer like Liu Dongjun.

After a round of walking, rest for 20 minutes and come again!
The crew continued shooting twice an hour until it was getting dark around 5 o'clock before officially ending the work.

On the way back, Chen Yiming pulled Xiangrui and Paul into Duan Yining and Liu Dongjun's car.

The car started, and before Chen Yiming could open the topic, Lao Duan himself couldn't help but start teaching his apprentice.

"Mumu, you are acting as Mumu, not real Mumu, you have to relax and relax.

That last time, you were so tight that you couldn't even poke a needle in, couldn't you feel it yourself? "

Liu Dongjun said with a distressed look, "Master, I know I need to relax, but I can't. The photographer is walking around me, and I'm always worried that I'll bump into him."

Duan Yining interrupted, "I've told you several times to ignore the camera and treat it as if the camera doesn't exist. Master Bao is more experienced than you. People are worried about car crashes. Why are you worried so blindly?"

Chen Yiming quickly stopped Lao Duan, who was still exerting great force, "Teacher Duan, I will teach my disciples when I get back. Let me say a few words now.

Lao Duan, generally speaking, it is right to ignore the camera. If you teach it this way, there is absolutely no problem.

However, "1951" is not a conventional movie. It is shot to the end, and conventional acting experience may not necessarily apply here. "

Duan Yining reflexively wanted to refute, but he thought for a while and finally did not say it. Instead, he stretched out his right hand to signal Chen Yiming to continue.

"Old Duan, I think you know better than me, what is the biggest difference between acting in a play and making a movie.

Now you are like the pillar of a theater troupe. As soon as you appear on stage, the entire place, from behind the scenes to in front of the stage, from the stage to off stage, is your territory, your domain, your responsibility, and the entire theater troupe. Pointing at you to eat!
Think about it, the accompanist Hu Xian'er made a wrong note, do you want to cover it up? Your partner's martial arts performance is half a moment late, do you want to step in?The audience is booing in the audience, can you do it again halfway through the performance? "

Chen Yiming found that Duan Yining's eyes suddenly lit up as soon as he finished speaking.

"Yiming, please continue talking, I hear something interesting."

"Old Duan, in this movie, your partner is not only Xiao Liu, but also Li Mingliang, Zhang Yi, Maodou, and Zhang Yu. Your first partner is Paul!
You two masters and apprentices are not the only ones performing on the stage. Paul, who is following suit, is also a participant. He is not an audience, but a person in the play.

Today's stumbling is not only because the wood is too wooden, but also because you, Lao Duan, are completely unaware of Paul as your partner.

What we are pursuing is the tacit cooperation between the three of you. You and Xiao Liu can perfectly cover up the shadow of Paul.

The three of you are a whole, with two bright sides and one dark side. You can’t survive without any one of you. "

Chen Yiming deliberately slowed down his speaking speed when he said this, and signaled Xiangrui to focus on the translation of the next words.

"Lao Duan, Xiao Liu, and Paul, the three of you will participate in future rehearsals together.

Further break down the storyboards of the entire scene and consider the camera position changes into the rhythm of the performance. You must not only memorize each other's actions, but also understand the purpose and significance of the other person's choice of actions.

Only in this way, you are a whole. When any one party makes an oversight or mistake, the other two can take the initiative to coordinate.

Our movie has too many long shots. If we reshoot again and again and then select from the massive amounts of material one scene in which everyone happened to make no mistakes, then I can say that the movie will be shot next year. I can’t finish taking pictures! "
