This director needs to apologize

Chapter 344: People sit on pots at home and come from the sky
When it comes to making movies, the most ideal development is naturally for actors and directors to achieve each other's success. However, this is an ideal state. In the actual production process, it is more like making do with each other.

In his previous life, Chen Yiming saw a lot of the latter, not the former. Among them, there are more and more atypical cases of the two extreme states, the Shuan Gou director who is so good at drama, or the parallel import "Empress" who arranges for gods.

Although the alliance of powerful people is in line with the laws of creation, it is definitely not in line with the laws of economics. For investors, if two groups of talented people make one movie together, they will definitely not make more money than if they split up and make two new movies with their own cuteness.

Platinum Jue has not encountered this problem yet. In 2014, the Chinese film market is on a rapid upward trajectory. Compared with the doubling of the movie-watching population, the output of domestic films above the standard is greatly in short supply. There is no need to go all out. It's a big job, and if it's over points, movie fans will burst into tears of gratitude.

Therefore, at the current stage of the project, Bo Jue can still boldly arrange several new directors and give them freedom in casting. The director can choose whoever is suitable.

This is also a major reason why Xiangrui's "500 Days of Summer Solstice" insists on continuing the starring cast of "Love Letter".

Speaking matter-of-factly, whether it is Chen Yiming's original story or Xiangrui's expanded version, the male and female protagonists are both single social animals in their thirties. Liu Dongjun and Anxixi, one is under the physical age and the other is under the psychological age, they are directly brought over The acting is purely to catch a duck.

The staffing of this team is a new director paired with new actors. At first glance, it seems like a strong alliance, but in fact it is the complete opposite of a new team.

The reason why Chen Yiming happily let go of the project after the meeting was over was because he felt that Xiangrui's directorial skills could "reinforce the situation" and bring out the congenital flaws of the two leading actors through camera language and behind-the-scenes scheduling.

Naturally, "500 Days of Summer Solstice" can no longer be filmed like "Love Letter". Xiangrui needs to have the awareness to steer and pull the cart by himself.

Starting from the male protagonist's confession, the picture on the monitor began to change compared to the morning.

He suddenly became interested. It was obvious that she no longer relied on the explosive performance of the two actors, but began to use the director's unique technical methods.

After lunch, the shooting continued. Chen Yiming noticed that Xiangrui temporarily adjusted the camera position and made major changes to the camera movement and composition.

Unfortunately, according to Chen Yiming's observations throughout the morning, Xiangrui is obviously not so sensitive yet. She still hopes to continue to invest a lot of time in making the two old partners of East and West develop a tacit understanding and sparks.

An Xixi was not affected by the camera changes and finished her long lines in one go. The small movements designed by Liu Dongjun were also very expressive, giving logically developed emotions.

In the director's hands, the camera can speak. In the scene just now, the camera said words that ruined the scenery.

No matter how talented an amateur is, he or she will feel uncomfortable if he puts it on directly for shooting.

The more Chen Yiming looks at it, the more interesting it becomes. The camera movements and composition before and after the confession create a sharp contrast. The first half is harmonious and balanced, while the second half is fragmented and unbalanced.

Chen Yiming didn't hold out the slightest hope for this. The director and the actors didn't understand the script on the same plane. It's very likely that Dongzi and Xixi had different understandings. There was a tacit understanding and sparks.

However, Xiangrui is indeed a potential stock that he is quite optimistic about. With a little reminder from Chen Yiming, she found the key to the shooting problem.

Next, the two returned to their previous positions facing each other and replayed the scene just now. An Xixi said the lines to Liu Dongjun for the second time,
This time, the main shot of Liu Dongjun was also a close-up that took up most of the view frame, but either his profile or An Xixi's shoulders were always blocking something in the frame, preventing the audience from seeing everything at once.

After the break, Liu Dongjun's condition recovered a lot, and the first half of the performance was still online.

Speaking of which, making a movie does require certain professional training. For example, in the current scene, An Xixi seems to be telling Liu Dongjun that she refuses to confess her love, but in fact, she is speaking to a straight-on camera, and Liu Dongjun does not mean that he can. To herd the sheep, he had to stand next to him and react synchronously, and there was a Steadicam specially designed to capture his body reactions.

In other words, the two of them are playing each other in a void, and they can't see each other's reaction clearly, but their emotions and lines cannot be wrong.

Well, these are actually professional interpretations, and most viewers don't care about them at all. The key is that these changes made by Xiangrui subtly strengthen the atmosphere of the scene, thus covering up Liu Dongjun's shortcomings.

Xiangrui is hinting at the deep-rooted estrangement between the male and female protagonists, especially the pivot-jumping in the subsequent dialogue, which further amplifies the implicit sense of dissonance.

The perspective becomes more subjective and aggressive, and the composition no longer pays attention to symmetry and harmony, but instead emphasizes two people equally to one that stands out.

In such an atmosphere, Liu Dongjun's partial expressions and movements will be magnified in a targeted manner. Just some close-ups of partial expressions and movements are enough for the audience to get the emotions the director hopes for.

Xiangrui quickly shouted "Ka" and changed the camera position to shoot a third time. Chen Yiming was completely relieved by now, and he should be able to focus on "500 Days of the Summer Solstice" in the future.

This afternoon, Xiangrui's words seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and the crew's progress was quite impressive. A few days ago, I could only shoot three to five shots in a whole day, but today I shot six in less than three hours after lunch. Maybe I can finish this failed confession scene before it gets dark and the work is done. Finished shooting in tone.

Chen Yiming simply took the laptop next to the monitor, plugged in the data card and went online to pass the time.

If he hadn't already promised to have dinner together in the evening, he could have just avoided them.

Let’s take a quick look at the news first. The summer season that just passed was still dominated by Hollywood blockbusters. From Spider-Man and Captain Nut in early May to Godzilla and Gorilla in late August, a single film can hit five movies. With a box office of 5 million, although none of the films hit double figures, the momentum of one company being the dominant one is still very obvious.

The industry is very optimistic about "Transformers 4", which will be released at the end of the year, and believes that it is likely to surpass "Mulan" and push China's box office record to billion in one fell swoop.

After Chen Yiming's new film was revealed to be an imaginative science fiction film, this conclusion became even more certain. There is no way, China's domestic science fiction films are really hard to mention. Even if Chen Yiming directs it, it is difficult for everyone to have confidence.

The performance of domestic films in the summer season was quite satisfactory. There were two comedies that exceeded 5 million, which can be regarded as passing the mark.

Then there are the two "cross-border" writers. They are really sharp with tens of millions of fans. One is 4 million and the other is 6 million. They rushed all the professional directors into chaos and made the industry experts' glasses shattered on the ground. It was embarrassing. It is called a mudslide in the Chinese film industry.

I heard from Xiaomei that during that time, numerous media came to Bojue to interview Chen Yiming. Needless to say, they were all here to start a fight. Chen Yiming ignored them and refused them all. Even so, the Internet continued to use his banner as "Zang Fou" Fake news from two great writers.

Fortunately, Chen Yiming has always kept quiet, and netizens were keen to expose all the fake news, so fans on both sides did not start a fight.

Sun Wangquan returned to the "old world" theme that he was good at, and roped in Shen Ming to make a literary and artistic feature film. It actually received more than 3 million at the box office, and his background is indeed profound.

Chen Yiming wrote and drew and summarized again and again, and found that compared with the previous two years, the total box office and single-film box office in the first eight months of this year have increased a lot. What's even more rare is that, as he predicted three years ago, the number of movies with 8 to 10 million breasts (more than 1 billion is the head, 3 to million is the waist, and the middle one is the chest) has increased significantly.

In the past few years, there were no breasts on the list, and the waist and butt were directly under the head (referring to the tail of the crane worth more than 5000 million). Now that the breasts are officially formed, it shows that the regular movie-watching group is indeed growing exponentially.

This is undoubtedly a great benefit for genre films. Chen Yiming has more confidence in "The Usual Suspects" to be released at the end of the year. Of course, the premise is that it does not collide with "Transformation 4".

However, Jiang Huiwen also had a suspense film that had been released early and was scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year. It was a bit difficult to deal with the two stumbling blocks. Chen Yiming wrote down this information and planned to go back to Da Zhuang and Ma Erye to discuss it.

After finishing masturbating and getting down to business, Chen Yiming glanced at the monitor. There were still two people on it. It seemed that Zhao Xiaodao had to wait until tomorrow.

He opened Inspur Weibo again, thinking about killing time by posting gossip.

Wang Defa!
On the popularity list, Chen Yiming found that his name was listed in the first item at the top, with the word "explosion" clearly marked behind it.

Looking at the content again, "Chen Yiming confessed to An Xixi, and the national director won the nation's first love!"

The title is quite exciting, and the editor has really learned a lot about journalism.

When I clicked in and took a look, I saw a few far-away photos of Chen Yiming and An Xixi standing opposite each other. Not to mention, it really looked like a confession scene in an idol drama.

Looking at the text again, it was either revealed by insiders or reported by someone familiar with the matter. It was really just the opening picture, and the rest was all made up.

Chen Yiming estimated that the photo was taken by the paparazzi in the crowd on the coast. It is not something that experts can't do to still take such artistic pictures from such a distance.

Since the photo was not taken by an insider, Chen Yiming didn't care about it. It is always inevitable to be rumored in the entertainment industry, but it is troublesome to have to confess to the girl at night.

It’s funny to say that the two people in the title are both disconnected people who don’t open Weibo. The editor wanted to add fuel to the flames but there was no one to @ him. In the end, there were three accounts that were @, one was the official account of Bojue. One is the official account of "Love Letter", and the third one is actually Liu Dongjun's account.

Chen Yiming looked at Liu Dongjun with a depressed look on the monitor. He was used to seeing it before, but now with the hot searches on Weibo in front of him, he seemed to be quite suitable for the occasion.

Does this count as someone sitting on a pot at home and coming from heaven?
