This director needs to apologize

Chapter 89 Pig Killing Supervisor
In the end, Chen Yiming no longer spoke in a tone of discussion and discussion, but in a conclusive announcement.

"Everyone, I have decided that the veterans will use Lao Duan's interpretation method as the keynote. Since the original intention of the project is to show off the ultimate skills, we will simply show off the coolness to the end, and the characters will also be subverted to the extreme."

He first gave Lin Xiao a "reassuring" look. After all, he was familiar with it after working together once. Master Lin grunted twice and chose to remain silent.

Then he looked at Sang Ping and said, "Teacher Sang, in terms of scene connection, I may have to make some additional adjustments. The corresponding scenery and camera movements will also need to be changed. The original plan will also need to be changed. I hope you can understand."

Regarding Chen Yiming's half-hearted approach, Mr. Sang still expressed his full support and nodded in agreement readily.

Then he looked at Duan Yining and said with a smile, "Teacher Duan, I am going to great lengths to support you. Shouldn't you also support me vigorously?"

Duan Yining returned to his nonchalant demeanor and replied carelessly, "If you have anything to say, Director Chen, just tell me!"

Chen Yiming cupped his fists and gave a slight salute, and said sheepishly, "I found a folk remedy from Commander Fan, Political Commissar Cao. It is an alternative way of experiencing life. It should be able to help Teacher Shi and the others find the feeling of 'overflowing with murderous intent' .

I'm wondering if Teacher Duan can also participate. Of course, you don't need to experience it, but you can provide some experience for comparison and verification, and help control the direction. "

Shi Lei, Maodou, Zhang Yi and Zhang Yu felt more and more wrong as they listened. What on earth were they going to experience? And they even brought Lao Duan in to take the helm?
Shi Lei couldn't help but ask, "Director Chen, where are you going to arrange for us to experience life? Special forces, or a border post?"

Chen Yiming chuckled, "There's no need to travel so far, and it won't delay your return home for the New Year. It's just a pig farm on the outskirts of the county."

Several actors, including Duan Yining, all looked confused. Only Maodou, who had the most experience in military dramas, seemed to have thought of something, and his round face suddenly turned pale.

Zhang Yi, who was sitting next to him, was startled and asked with concern, "Teacher Mao, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Maodou couldn't speak smoothly anymore. He stared at Chen Yiming and asked word for word, "Director Chen, didn't you ask us to kill the pig?"

Huh?Someone actually guessed it!

As Chen Yiming nodded slightly apologetically, Maodou slumped in his chair with a look of despair.

He could guess that it was purely a coincidence. A few years ago, in order to film a drama about cooks, he went to the front line to experience life for half a year as one of the leading actors. Not only did he work as a master chef in the kitchen, he also accumulated fertilizer, grew vegetables, fed pigs and chickens. fall.

The most difficult part for him was the part of cleaning up the "little animals".

Killing chickens and fish is normal at home, but it's a completely different story when working in the army. You need a shovel to cook. You can imagine how many living creatures you have to "deal with" when preparing meat and vegetables.

The experience of killing chickens and pigs for several days has always been a memory that he tried hard to forget.

Maodou's reaction frightened several others. It was just killing a pig. Is it that scary?

It was Shi Lei who was the first to ask, "Director Chen, is killing pigs useful?"

Chen Yiming nodded and shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know.

Political Commissar Cao of the Engineer Corps said that when veterans first came off the battlefield, children were as afraid of them as they were of the pig butcher in the village. "

Maodou tried to struggle for his life and retorted, "I killed three pigs and dozens of baskets of chickens in those five days, and I didn't feel murderous."

Chen Yiming followed suit and said, "It should be the difference in magnitude. A pig butcher would kill hundreds or even thousands of pigs."

Zhang Yi found the flaw and interjected, "Then how long do we have to kill? Do they have so many pigs in their pig farm for us to kill?"

Chen Yiming didn't give him a chance and insisted, "Don't worry, the pigs will definitely have enough control. I asked Ma Dong to transfer directly from the Demon City, just in time to provide extra food for the soldiers of the Engineering Corps.

And you are actors, so you must experience life with drama. When killing pigs, you must mobilize your emotions and treat the pigs as enemies of life and death, so that you can have a sense of immersion.

I'm not expert on how to substitute. Teacher Duan will definitely have some ideas. You can study it together when the time comes. "

Duan Yining snorted softly, "That's it?"

Chen Yiming nodded heavily, "That's it!"

Duan Yining leaned back on the chair, "Okay, then let's kill the pig. I want to see whether the murderous intent produced by killing the pig is higher or lower than the murderous intent performed by myself!"

Lao Duan, who had passed the test early, took the lead, and the remaining few who needed to take the make-up exam had no room to give in, so this childish decision was made like this.

After returning on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I would shoot and listen to cannons in the morning, and kill pigs in the afternoon.

……

After the day's meeting, the next day was New Year's Eve.

Work on the mountain was suspended, the crew was disbanded, and more than half of the people stationed there were suddenly reduced.Chen Yiming spent that night at a temporary station on the mountain with the soldiers of the engineering regiment who stayed behind.

Electricity and Internet have been laid out for a long time, so watching the Spring Festival Gala will be no problem.

Moreover, in the barren mountains and mountains, there was no one to set off firecrackers. It was rare for Chen Yiming to enjoy listening to it.

The reason why he didn't go home was because he had to rush to revise the new storyboard.

The movie pays attention to a certain degree of relaxation. Since the main supporting characters are required to "harden up", they must choose other places to "soften up", otherwise the overall rhythm will be unbalanced.

However, the one-shot shooting method itself has a hard rhythm.

The original film "1917" was hedged through scene construction. There were no people, ruins, and the endless Gallic plains. Looking at the poignant scenery against the background of war, the audience's experience would naturally relax, and the rhythm would soften.

The background color of "1951" is bluer and colder than that of "1917", so more attention must be paid to the "softness".

Still unable to think of a suitable solution, Chen Yiming simply gave himself a day off. He did not do anything serious on New Year's Day and concentrated on making phone calls to express New Year greetings.

After the mixed doubles match between Chen's father and Chen's mother, Chen Yiming made the next phone call to Mr. Ma. After the latter exchanged pleasantries, Chen Yiming said a few more words, which gave Chen Yiming some clues.

That's what he said at the time.

"Yi Ming, don't be too stressed. Just shoot according to your own ideas. Don't worry about review, box office, winning awards and other things. That will all happen after the shooting is completed and shouldn't take up your current time. energy.

Lao Gao, Lao Sun and I support your idea because of your script, your storyboards and your work attitude. Don't regard "Holiday in the Magic City" as a burden. "

After a round of phone calls, Chen Yiming finally called his good friend Ma Yunteng and went straight to ask him.

"Dazhuang, have you heard anything since you went back? Your father and I had a few casual chats today, and I was wondering why there was something in his words."

Mr. Ma on the other side couldn't hold back immediately, and his heavy breathing could inflate Chen Yiming's eardrums through the microphone.

"Sister Shen told me when I returned to the company that there was a rumor in the group that someone suddenly became interested in "1951" and said that she would come over to give some advice after the year."

Chen Yiming frowned, "Sorry!"

"The words are high-sounding. The factory cannot lose control of the main theme project. For young directors to be given a ride, it is recommended to add a supervisor.

In fact, the meaning is very clear. I have my eyes on "1951" and want to pick peaches. "

Chen Yiming didn't ask for the name at all. Since what Dama Dong said today was pretty good, which meant that the other party's plan failed, there was no need to know who it was.

After thinking for a while, he asked again, "If you want to be famous as a teacher, and you want to add a producer, there must be a reason, right?"

Ma Yunteng sounded even more angry, "You asked actors to kill pigs to experience life. Somehow it spread in the group. Damn it, as soon as 29 is set, there will be a lot of noise in the group group on New Year's Eve. The sky is filled with boiling water.

Let me know which old guy doesn't have long eyes and blind TM to lead the rhythm. I can't deal with him. "

Chen Yiming laughed, "It's not that bad, your father can take care of it properly, and there's no need for His Highness to take action personally.

Okay, I know what happened, there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just that I’m so busy during the preparation period, and when the filming starts getting busy, no one will have that free time to talk. "

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yiming rubbed his face and lay on his back in a daze.

Speaking of which, over the past six months or so, he has really complied with the saying that he is asking for trouble.

Movies are not a high-end thing. No matter how artistic they are, they are still struggling in the big quagmire of the entertainment industry.

In his previous life, he laughed at himself that he could only make dramas. In fact, looking back now, there was nothing wrong with him not worrying about having enough money to spend his days with girls.

Now he has the power to order and drink, but he has also toiled himself to the point of exhaustion. He spends the Spring Festival alone outside, so what good can he get?
"Holiday in the Magic City" made a lot of money, but he was so busy that he didn't even have time to squander it.

In addition, he is someone who has seen China Entertainment's standard answer. By the time he time travels, how many directors with integrity will there be in the film industry?
Unnecessary!
Brother Shan Zheng couldn't tell whether he was making a movie or playing in finance. The national teacher put down his pretensions and killed all the scripts in the courtyard. Brother Kai threw away his reserve and started an anti-American drama.

Make money, it's not shabby!
The more he thought about it, the more funny he found it. His struggle and tossing over "1951" would look like a huge farce 10 years later.

Who would have thought that in just seven or eight years, a Chinese film that was undoubtedly one of the top three Oscar winners in Europe in 2010 would be able to make a fortune just by relying on domestic box office?
Probably only Chen Yiming could think of it, but he couldn't do anything.

In the rebirth story, the protagonist reaps the pleasure of a prophet and the satisfaction of a prophet. After Chen Yiming himself was reborn, he discovered that society does not revolve around the protagonist alone.
