Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 446 What does "saying with certainty" mean?
One week later.

The work of the "Invisible Guardian" crew has been fully launched.

What makes "Guardians" different from other crews is that it has one crew and two teams.

Director Jiang Wei and his team are responsible for shooting the main plot.

Jiang Wei, the director and screenwriter of the TV series "The Disguiser", is, like Xue Xiaolu, a professor and graduate supervisor at the Beijing Film Academy, and has a good relationship with Zhou Mo.

The other team is the game production team led by Zhou Mo.

We specifically catch the actors and shoot the side stories and special shots in the game after they have finished filming the main storyline.

For example, in "The Guardian" there is a character named Feng Yixian, who is the successor of the protagonist Xiao Tu in his early undercover period in terms of his open job (serving the Japanese). He is the secretary of the mansion and a perverted murderer nicknamed "Axe King".

The nickname comes from a characteristic of the character Feng Yixian: when the player controls Xiao Tu to make a choice, if something goes wrong, this guy will pick up an axe and chop people.

The only consequence for the player is the end of the game.

dead.

In his previous life, Feng Yixian’s character was named Gao Shan. Because he looked very similar to a certain singer, netizens nicknamed him "Dark Hu Yanbin".

When Zhou Mo was choosing the role, he took Feng Yixian's characteristics into consideration and finally found the actor he liked.

Feng Yuanzheng.

When it comes to making people scared and sweating with just a ferocious expression, no one can match Feng Yuanzheng's performance as the husband in "Don't Talk to Strangers".

His acting skills were amazing, as he could scare Zhou Mo so much when he was a child that he had nightmares and cried loudly.

"That's right, Teacher Feng, it's this action and expression, so handsome!" Zhou Mo looked at Teacher Feng Yuanzheng in the camera and did not hesitate to praise him.

After the filming, Zhou Mo asked the makeup artists to remove the actors' makeup.

Today's shooting is over.

A moment later, Feng Yuanzheng and Huo Jianhua walked up to Zhou Mo together.

The scene just now was the rivalry between Feng Yixian and Xiao Tu in "The Invisible Guardian". Xiao Tu failed because he did not answer Feng Yixian's question, so he was killed by Feng Yixian with an axe.

When the two came over, Feng Yuanzheng still had a gentle look and looked very relaxed.

Instead, Huo Jianhua looked a little pale.

His expression was vague, his steps were unsteady, and he looked like he was suffering from kidney deficiency.

Zhou Mo was immediately "shocked" and said: "Old Huo, why are you like this? You should take care of yourself. I'm not like you who is physically exhausted at such a young age."

Huo Jianhua looked at Zhou Mo with eyes full of resentment.

Livestock.

In just half a day, Zhou Mo shot the scene where Feng Yixian chopped him repeatedly in many different scenes, and almost made him spiral into the sky and die on the spot.

The repeated shooting was nothing.

Zhou Mo actually didn't shoot that many shots. There are many people in the industry who shoot dozens of times for the same shot.

The actors are in bad shape, their acting skills are not up to standard, their eyes are not in place...all of these factors may require the director to reshoot.

But the problem is that the reason Zhou Mo took the photos repeatedly was not because the lens was too bad, but because the lens was too good.

Not to mention Mr. Feng Yuanzheng, the role of "Axe King" was just a piece of cake for him.

Huo Jianhua's acting skills were not bad to begin with, and coupled with Feng Yuanzheng's superb acting skills, he portrayed Xiao Tu's panic and extreme fear when facing Feng Yixian's hacking.

Seeing that the two were in such good shape, Zhou Mo simply filmed all the scenes in this chapter where Xiao Tu was hacked to death by Feng Yixian in one afternoon.

You don't even have to change your clothes.

Just go ahead.

But this really exhausted Huo Jianhua.

Because he had to face Feng Yuanzheng in a hideous state, and the other party's acting skills were so good, he felt as if he was in the scene, as if he was really going to be hacked to death.

That’s why Huo Jianhua’s acting skills are so good.

Because that wasn't acting at all, it was a real reaction, completely uncontrollable fear.

Now, he finally understood why Teacher Mei Ting was so deeply involved in the filming of "Don't Talk to Strangers".

Performances and real reactions.

TV series and reality.

Can't tell, really can't tell.

Huo Jianhua experienced this scene nine times in one afternoon.

That's right.

Nine times, the same number of branching lines as this plot in the script.

In other words, in just one afternoon, Huo Jianhua experienced all the fates of being "hacked to death".

Huo Jianhua sat on the chair, pursed his lips and asked Zhou Mo: "Director Zhou, can I ask, are we going to shoot this kind of ending later?"

Seeing that he was still frightened, Zhou Mo knew that the whole afternoon must have been quite a shock to him.

He consoled her, "Don't worry, there's nothing left. That's all for this afternoon."

Since the original version of "Guardians" is an interactive screen game, many materials can be reused. For example, the scene where Xiao Tu was killed by Feng Yixian only needs one, and the background can be blurred.

However, since the new version of "Guardians" is an upgraded interactive game, from pictures to videos, the materials cannot be reused, but must be shot newly for each situation.

Zhou Mo's requirements for game production are not high. It does not require repeated shooting like a TV series or even a movie.

As long as you reach an average level, you can pass it in one go.

Even if the condition was not very good, there was no need to waste what was filmed. It could be made into the ending of a branch line or a tidbit. Huo Jianhua suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Zhou Mo turned and looked at Feng Yuanzheng.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Feng. I am sure that the clip you filmed today will become the most classic plot in future games."

Feng Yuanzheng smiled and waved his hands, making a joke: "Director Zhou, you are too kind. I actually hope that this part won't be so exaggerated. Otherwise, I will probably have to add the title of 'perverted murderer' to my title of 'perverted domestic violence man'."

"This only shows that you acted well, just like Teacher Li Mingqi who played Rong Mama back then. Your acting was so touching that it left a mark in the history of film and television dramas."

Feng Yuanzheng smiled without saying anything and just waved his hand.

Zhou Mo didn't say much and called the two of them to go eat together.

As a result, before I had taken two steps, I saw two people standing not far away.

It was Tang Yan and Liu Shishi.

When the two girls saw Zhou Mo, their eyes lit up and they walked over with a smile.

Feng Yuanzheng turned around and left.

"Director Zhou, I suddenly remembered that I didn't take the clothes I washed yesterday out of the washing machine. I'll go back and check. I'll have dinner with you later."

Huo Jianhua reacted a little slowly. When the two women came over and stared at him, he suddenly woke up from his dream and ran towards Feng Yuanzheng without hesitation.

"Teacher Feng, wait for me, I forgot to hang the clothes."

In a flash, there were only three people left.

Zhou Mo looked at the two men with a fierce look and smiled.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that these two people sounded very anxious when they called each other a while ago.

After Zhou Mo arrived at the crew, things were actually very calm. Not only was there no unnecessary communication on weekdays, but even night raids never happened.

It was as if he was completely unfamiliar with Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo could almost guess what these two people could do, so he had a lot of fun chatting with Fang Min (Li Xin) and Junko-chan (Yui) every day.

"What are you two doing?"

Liu Shishi raised his chin and said, "Robbery!"

"Oh? Are you two going to rob me of my money or rape me?"

Tang Yan asked back, "Why, can't we have both?"

Zhou Mo was stunned, his eyes were a little surprised.

Under normal circumstances, Tang Yan is the one who talks less, while Liu Shishi talks more. I didn’t expect her to be so proactive today.

So he asked tentatively: "Well, Elbow, shall we go inside?"

Tang Yan's face turned red and she subconsciously wanted to nod.

Liu Shishi grabbed Tang Yan and pinched her twice in frustration.

We clearly agreed to be tougher this time, why did you soften so easily with just one sentence?
She still has to come.

Looking at Zhou Mo: "Did you forget something?"

"what?"

There was a hint of resentment in Liu Shishi's tone. This big pig's hoof really forgot.

Clearly in the first half of the year, he was still very sure about it.

Talking and chiseling at the same time.

"I knew you must have forgotten, "A Loving Family"."

Zhou Mo suddenly realized, this is it.

Combined with Liu Shishi's eyes, he also thought of the original scene and smiled awkwardly: "Aren't there a lot of unexpected things happening recently? I'll arrange it immediately after a while."

Tang Yan wanted to nod again, but Liu Shishi immediately held her chin.

Liu Shishi rolled her eyes at Zhou Mo and said, "Tomorrow and tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. You didn't even tell us how long this "after a while" will take, but we've been waiting for a long time."

Zhou Mo was surprised: "Yeah, Shishi, you have memorized a lot of poems recently."

"That's... don't change the subject, Zhou Mo. We both know you're busy, but you should have given us a heads-up. Tangtang and I both know your rules. We can't overlap with other projects, so we've already turned down a lot of invitations for the plan you mentioned before."

Zhou Mo felt a little embarrassed. This was indeed something he had not planned well at the time.

Although putting one's own people at risk seems to be the first choice of many people when faced with some difficult choices, Zhou Mo himself does not like to do so.

The closer they are to you, the more you should do what you say.

"It was indeed my fault this time. I will go back tonight and look at the arrangements. I will make sure that everything goes according to plan next year. How do you think?"

Liu Shishi originally wanted to take this opportunity to take control of Zhou Mo, at least she would have to be on top of him a few times.

Unexpectedly, before he could even finish his words, Zhou Mo interrupted him and asked, "By the way, do you two have anything else to do tonight?"

Liu Shishi was instantly alert, put aside the "great plan" in his mind, and asked: "What do you want to do?"

Zhou Mo spread his hands and said, "I'll treat you two to a meal. I don't think I've had a proper meal with you guys since I came back from Cannes, so let's find a place."

Tang Yan finally nodded and immediately said "OK".

After saying that, he blinked at Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi was stunned.
