Chapter 54 Co-production?

The filming scene of "The Tuner".

Qin Hailu wore a pair of white flat shoes and rushed to the set today. Wang Shu flashed an intriguing smile after seeing the shoes on her feet.

The filming of the movie is now nearing completion.

Whether it is actors such as Jiang Wenli, Qin Hailu, Fu Dalong, or other crew members, they all can truly feel how talented Wang Shu is.

They are all practitioners in the industry and have worked on many film crews.

There is no crew like Wang Shu who comes up and tells the actors about the scene first, and then completes the filming three times five times five times two times.

Although the crews they had stayed in before did not have much time for the actors to figure out the characteristics of the characters in the script, at least many of the shots were the most satisfactory ones after many attempts.

Especially the way the actors acted together during filming was the most suitable performance method that was determined through repeated discussions by the crew.
  Unlike Wang Shu, there is no need to try or explore at all. Not only can he tell the story so that the actors can quickly figure out the emotional changes of the characters in the script, but he can even explain the body movements, movements, etc. that the actors need to show in a scene.

These tasks were originally done by the assistant director, action director and other staff members on the crew to help the actors.

In fact, the staff did do these things on the set.

However, once filming started, many times it became a matter of acting according to the body movements, positions, etc. pointed out by Wang Shu during the live narration.

If the performance is wrong, just shout out and try again, instead of waiting for the performance to be completed and then adding a few more, and then comparing and selecting the most pleasing performance method as a clip in the film.

Even when a few scenes are saved, it is not because the way of acting is wrong, but because the actors' acting skills are not up to par.

This made Jiang Wenli, Qin Hailu, and others in the crew involuntarily think of one person.

Star Master from Hong Kong Island seems to have the same ability in nonsensical comedies.

It is said that when he was filming a nonsensical comedy, he didn't even have a script, and he even read the script in vain.

When I went to the set, many times I had to act according to his requirements instead of following the description in the script.

Often at this time, the content of the performance is already very different from the script.

"Compared to Master Xing, I should be more comfortable here with Director Wang."

Qin Hailu and others have heard that in Star Master's movies, since there is no script, most of the time it depends on personal freedom.

If you are an actor who has worked with Zhou Xingxing for a long time, you will naturally be able to play Zhou Xingxing's brain waves very well.

But if you are a newcomer or an actor who has rarely worked with Zhou Xingxing, the pressure will be great.

Because there is so much room for free expression, no one can guarantee whether the director's requirements will be met after the performance.

If you can't pass the NG test dozens of times in a row, it will be a big blow to your own brand.

But on Wang Shu's side, things are different.

Wang Shu explained in detail the performance method that needs to be presented, and the actors only need to perform well according to what he said.

What is needed is only the acting skills of the actors, not the artistic talent.

This is much easier. "Director Wang, your movie "My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox" was a hit. Will you be filming another TV series in the future?" During the break, Ni Ping saw Wang Shu coming and asked with a smile. .

The whole crew knows about the popularity and popularity of Nine-Tailed Fox.

Qin Hailu likes to watch idol dramas. If she finishes work early, she will even still watch dramas.

"There should be." Wang Shu replied with a smile. Teacher Ni Ping is a senior in the circle, and he still respects him very much.

The kind smile on Ni Ping's face did not diminish, and then asked: "Director Wang, are you interested in producing a TV series with Yang Wang?"

Wang Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized that after Ni Ping resigned as the host of Yangshi in 2004, his relationship was transferred to the TV drama production center of Yangshi.

The four famous TV series were created by the Yangshi TV Drama Production Center.

Ni Ping participated in the filming of "The Tuner" this time, so he took a leave of absence to have time to come over.

"Of course it's an honor for me to be able to produce a TV series with Yangshi. It's just that Yangshi's production center seems to focus on TV dramas with ideological and artistic qualities, right?" Wang Shu answered with a smile, "I'm the only one who shoots idols. How does the director of the play cooperate with the production center?"

Ni Ping was also stunned. Unexpectedly, Wang Shu immediately guessed that the Yangshi she was talking about was referring to the Yangshi TV series production center. Then he laughed and said, "Didn't Director Wang film "Buried Alive" and the current "The Tuner"?" "Well? These all have very good scripts."

"Obviously Director Wang can write many types of scripts. It shouldn't be difficult to write a script that is ideological, artistic and enjoyable, right?"

Wang Shu was already familiar with Ni Ping, so he complained quite truthfully: "Sister Ni Ping, if I write another script that is ideological, artistic and enjoyable, why should I make it into a TV series? Wouldn’t it be nice to make an art film and win awards?”

Ni Ping was stunned again when he heard this.

This statement makes so much sense that it is impossible to refute it.

Seeing that Ni Ping had stopped speaking, Wang Shu broke the embarrassment and asked, "Sister Ni Ping, what do you mean by this? Does the production center want me to co-produce a TV series?"

"I have this idea." Ni Ping nodded, "Director Wang's "Buried Alive" won an award in Berlin. After returning, he filmed a TV series, and now it has become a hit after it was broadcast."

"In addition, the leader there learned from me that the script of "The Tuner" was very good, so he came up with the idea of ​​co-producing a TV series with Director Wang."

After saying this, he went on to explain, "Director Wang, don't get me wrong. I did not take the script of "The Tuner" to the work to show to others. I just praised the script of "The Tuner" to them. That’s all.”

Wang Shu nodded after hearing this and said with a fake smile: "Sister Ni Ping, it is my honor to be chosen by the production center."

"It's just that you also know that although I make TV series, I am also a film director."

"Again, if I wrote a script like that, I would definitely prefer it to be made into a movie rather than a TV series."

"If the production center wants to co-produce a TV series such as an idol drama with me, I will do it."

"But if it's a TV series with deep thoughts, I might as well take the script and make a movie."

Yangshi TV Drama Production Center is a large unit with many capable senior screenwriters. It is impossible for the existing scripts to be handed over to outsiders like Wang Shu to direct and film. Wang Shu can only write the script and then cooperate with Yangshi TV Drama. The production center co-produces this way.

And if Wang Shuru writes this kind of script, art films are the best choice.
  After hearing this, Ni Ping smiled awkwardly and said softly, "I'm just here to help. If Director Wang has any intention, we can continue to negotiate. If he doesn't, forget it."
