Chapter 45 Tool Man Director

Night.

In a residential building in Feilong Film and Television Base, Ning Hao handed the shooting notice to Jiang Liu, who was drawing storyboards under the desk lamp: "Take a look at the notices No. 18-22."

"Two episodes in five days. It's a bit slow, but it's acceptable. In short, it's about quality over quantity. Don't pick the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon."

Jiang Liu returned the notice to Ning Hao.

He will leave for Hunan Province on the 18th to participate in the first Golden Eagle TV Festival, and the crew will leave it to deputy director Ning Hao.

"At this rate, it will take 76 days to shoot 190 episodes. It's too exaggerated and the cost will be seriously overrun."

Jiang Liu smiled and said with relief: "It won't take 190 days. As long as the crew is in place, the filming will get faster and faster."

"Don't just look at the financial accounts. There is an invisible income called word of mouth."

"If Yixin Film and Television produces good dramas one after another, and the ratings of many TV stations across the country increase, will the dramas produced by Yixin be short of customers? By then, the prices of the dramas will be different."

"In addition, I guess that in the past two years, the country will further loosen the shackles on the film and television industry, a large amount of money will enter the film and television industry, and the number of film and television companies will further increase. If you want to stand out among them, a good reputation is very important."

Ning Hao couldn't understand, it was a very simple truth, quality is more important than anything else.

"Okay, then I'm leaving. You should go to bed early. It's getting late."

"Sleep later."

Jiang Liu agreed, closed the door but continued writing at his desk.

The rules he set restricted dishonest actors and ordinary people behind the scenes, but they also restricted themselves.

As the director and producer of "Wulin Gaiden", he definitely doesn't want the crew to overspend.

The crew did not want to overspend. In addition, the actors had to work hard to memorize their lines, be familiar with the plot, and not fall behind during filming.

The directing team must also make detailed arrangements for the next day's shooting notice in advance. When everything is in order, the crew will not overrun due to shooting.

Of course there are exceptions, such as meeting directors like Wong Kar-Wai.

But obviously, even if Jiang Liu becomes prosperous one day, he will not invite Wong Kar Wai to film.

The directors he hires in the future must film according to the rules he set. Those directors who are stubborn and have many personal ideas will not have a chance with him.

What Jiang Liu did was a disguised form of training a tool director.

There are so many scripts in his mind that one person can't finish them in a lifetime. Since he doesn't want to take advantage of outsiders and let outsiders make money, the only way is to train tool people.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to formulate an efficient system in the small world of Yixin Film and Television.

When I got into bed and covered myself with quilt, there was already a cockcrow outside.

At 6:30, Jiang Liu, who had slept for more than three hours, was woken up by the alarm clock on his mobile phone. After washing up and having breakfast, he put down his mobile phone, put on his watch and walked towards the 'Tongfu Inn'.

"The soles of my feet hurt so much." Gao Yuanyuan.

"Me too, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the bed last night." Liu Tao.

"Hi, didn't you ever do farm work when you were young? Come home with me one day and give my family two acres of corn. Ahem."

Wang Baoqiang: "Director."

Jiang Liu glanced at Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Tao, patted Wang Baoqiang and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, just scream after the show."

Putting on makeup at six o'clock and starting work at seven o'clock, the crew's day's work began again.

Today's main camera is focused on Gao Yuanyuan, and the plot is [Guo Furong, one of the male and female evil spirits, has just joined the inn to cause trouble and is determined to escape].

"Big Mouth, Guo Furong, are you familiar with the jingle?"

Jiang Chao and Gao Yuanyuan were confident: "I know it by heart."

"You have to act smart in the first half, and in the later stage you have to act out the inescapable feeling of powerlessness and grievance." Jiang Liu warned Gao Yuanyuan again.

Among the leading actors in the crew, Gao Yuanyuan's performance was inferior to that of the others.

The performance marks are very heavy, sometimes even worse than the 8-year-old poor Hanazha.

Nazha was really cheerful. When she came to the movie theater, she asked her mother to accompany her. But after a few days of coming, she got annoyed with her mother and ran around.

"it is good."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded wisely.She also belongs to the king of strong mouths. She is very powerful behind her back, and she immediately shrinks in front of her.

"Get ready to shoot, get ready to shoot."

After turning on the camera seriously and filming began, Gao Yuanyuan stood up from the table and rushed to the door as if his cartilage had been shot. Seeing Bai Zhantang sitting there, he turned around and picked up a bench.

"Within 30 seconds, this bench will turn into a colorful sky-eating python and eat you all alive."

"Stop, you're not acting well, Gao Yuanyuan, please use a little more force and do more movements so that it doesn't get in the way. You can do this."

Jiang Liu raised the bench and put it down with a bang, then waved his arms at Yan Ni and others, gritting his teeth and said, "Then I will eat you all alive."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded: "I understand."

"Don't be an afterthought. Think to yourself why Yan Ni and Jiang Chao rarely need me to tell their scenes. It's because they are thinking about the scene a day or a few days in advance."

"Acting is not that difficult. As long as you have a thorough understanding of the character's motivations and a good understanding of the character's psychology, acting is also easy."

Jiang Liu is not a director like Wong Kar-wai who pursues perfection.

His requirements for acting skills are not that high, as long as the actor's body movements, expressions, and lines in the camera do not make the audience laugh.

Maybe when he makes movies in the future, his requirements will be higher.

After all, the movie is a big screen, and the subtle changes of the actors will be noticed by the audience.

"The emotions are brewing, then continue."

Jiang Liu didn't give Gao Yuanyuan time to feel sad about the autumn wind and said directly.

".Then I will eat you alive one by one. The pole is as long as the bench is, but the pole is not as wide as the bench."

Gao Yuanyuan circled around the long bench as if chanting sutras, attracting the attention of everyone in the inn, and took advantage of Bai Zhantang's mistake to sneak out.

"Okay, stop, it's not bad, this one should work."

Jiang Liu looked at Ning Hao behind the monitor.

"It works." Ning Hao stood up and said.

"Then we'll shoot outside and finish filming this episode."

Jiang Liu gave an order, the scene changed behind the scenes, and everyone turned outside the room.

The entire Feilong Film and Television Base only has one crew for "Wulin Gaiden".

The whole area around 'Tongfu Inn' is filled with mountains and rivers waiting for the group. Even if there is a transition, there is no need to deliberately arrange the scene. Just take pictures when you go out.

"Gao Yuanyuan, your highlight is here. Tears of grievance will well up in your eyes later." Before filming, Jiang Liu put pressure on Gao Yuanyuan again.

Gao Yuanyuan was depressed: "This is too difficult to control."

"That's pretty much it. It's okay if you cry a lot of snot and tears."

After Jiang Liu finished teasing, everyone at the scene laughed.

Even if you don't have a camera, you can't sit down, and you don't have a mobile phone or a game console, so it's better to stand on the edge of the river and watch the show.

"Don't come over here. If you take another step, I'll yell at you."

In the alley, Guo Furong, who was running out, saw Bai Zhantang coming out from behind and shouted while retreating.

Bai Zhantang pointed at Guo Furong disdainfully: "You are still wandering around in the world like this."

"What's the matter? Then I can't run away if I meet a bad guy on the way."

After speaking harshly, Guo Furong said aggrievedly: "I can't fight again and again, I can't run but I can't run away, and I don't listen to what I say. She is also a girl. She can't carry her shoulders, can't lift her hands, and her body bones are inherently weak."

"We have to stay at home. If we don't eat even one meal, my mother will burst into tears. It's better now. She's busy from morning to night and won't even let her drink a bowl of water. How dare you let her live?"

Gao Yuanyuan wiped away tears and squatted down.

Jiang Liu scratched his head. He knew the lines quite well and his half-hidden performance was okay.

"It's over."
