Chapter 350 Improvement of Director's Skills (Part [-])
Besides, Xiao Sheng, the real director of "Looking for the Qin Dynasty", felt that his hangover head was much clearer after a night's sleep, at least he didn't feel dizzy when he stood up, let alone the feeling of retching.
As soon as he woke up, the first thing Xiao Sheng thought of was that it was already late afternoon, how was the filming of this movie going?
Although he had delegated the power to Chen Xiaotang to direct, but now he woke up and was still worried that Chen Xiaotang would not be able to control it, so he was busy watching the filming situation.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but you are shocked when you see it!
what happened? !
It's not that Chen Xiaotang's shooting is too bad, on the contrary, it's better than Xiao Sheng imagined!
In Xiao Sheng's original conception, this kind of war scene is at most just a matter of rushing into the battle and going out of the way-the Hong Kong~Hong Kong war drama is so petty, and director Xiao can't be blamed for having such an idea.
Trapped in a pit, stumbling on a rope, and turned on their backs!
Top your lungs!These super cool shots can be captured!
Wizards, wizards! ! !
Could it be said that Chen Xiaotang is really the rare director who is said to be rare in a hundred years? !
"A-Tang, that's great, your filming is really good! I don't even know what language to use to describe it! It's so damn good!" The old man burst into obscenities in excitement.
The old man sighed here, but he didn't know that Chen Xiaotang was just showing his sharpness. The classic ancient war scenes in his previous life had already been imprinted in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of them. If it is fully utilized, the old man will not faint directly.
However, it was not Chen Xiaotang's "wizard" that made the old man faint, but the list of expenses that he had just shown to him - it burned [-] Hong Kong dollars in just one morning! ! !
The old man vomits blood! ! !
Is this a genius, or a prodigal? !
But in the end, the old man's willpower is still firm, and he intends to let Chen Xiaotang continue to direct.
Chen Xiaotang worked as a director for several hours, and he was already exhausted. Seeing that the old man was no longer dizzy, Chen Xiaotang hurriedly handed over the authority and said: "As long as the shooting is not bad, it's fine--well, now I'm still on the second line to be my director." actor, you should always come and direct the next play!"
Xiao Sheng smiled slyly, and suddenly covered his head and said: "Oh, it's terrible, my head started to hurt again---it hurts so much, it looks like I have to take a rest! There's no way, it's just so useless to be old. !"
Chen Xiaotang didn't expect the old man to be so shameless --- he continued to put down picks.
"No way, director, my head hurts too, and I need to rest too!"
"Tch, young man, I can't bear this bit of suffering! Don't talk about it, you continue to direct—at worst, I'll help you!"
"Ah—" Chen Xiaotang opened his mouth wide.
Not to mention, after all, Xiao Sheng is a practical man of TVB, he does what he says, and before Chen Xiaotang has any reaction, he saw that the old head rushed into work like a big horse monkey. Personally intervening in various departments such as props, art, recording, etc., is tantamount to finishing the work of recording the scene by the way.
What's more, Chen Xiaotang was particularly touched by the fact that the old man had another advantage that he couldn't compare to - being able to put down his face, being stern and selfless.
Chen Xiaotang, as the interim acting director, treats the employees under him, including the extra actors and staff recruited temporarily, and belongs to the type of a kind-hearted and good-natured gentleman.Even if he gets angry sometimes, but in a blink of an eye, the spring breeze blows again. If he is asked to reprimand or even fire the people below, he will not do it.
But Xiao Sheng is quite different. The old man has been a director for most of his life. He has been "ruthless" since early training.What's more, he is the real director of the play, so the work standards he gave are much better than Chen Xiaotang's orders.
……
With Xiao Sheng's intentional help, Chen Xiaotang's directing skills have been greatly improved. This is like an adventure in a martial arts novel. The protagonist survives a fall from a mountain stream, and meets a peerless expert who teaches him how to practice martial arts. .
Chen Xiaotang is the same, under Xiao Sheng's hands-on teaching, he is more comfortable shooting costume dramas, and the shooting speed is also faster.
The next day, after filming the scene of the thousands of troops charging, the soldiers in the garrison had already returned to their orders.And another batch of actors and actresses temporarily recruited by the crew put on another batch of props and costumes. Some actors from Hong Kong, such as Huang Rihua and Zhang Manyu, also changed into clothes, because in the afternoon, they will shoot the fight between the Wushi Ranch and the horse thief. lens.
Chen Xiaotang directed these sets of shots, especially emphasizing a sense of reality, especially the parts involving the cruel and bloody side of the fight, requiring close to the "realistic" standard, so as to highlight the external environment's portrayal of the Warring States period, an era of bullying by the strong and the weak. The internal reason why Qin State was able to unify the six countries-the people need peace.
Because of this standard, all the fighting scenes are very difficult to shoot.As the standard in the director's heart, and that feeling, you can't tell it accurately to those actors and martial artists with low cultural background. If you talk to them about art and detailed conflicts in the scene, they will listen to it no matter what. I don't understand, after all, they didn't learn this line of work.Therefore, the only way is to take a good look at the position in the camera, and then go down and teach them one by one, telling them how far they should go.
When he was an actor, Chen Xiaotang didn't think it was difficult to be a director.After becoming a director, he made a TV series and a movie. Chen Xiaotang can be said to have grasped the knack of being a director. It can be said that he has just entered the Tao.Now, under Xiao Sheng's hands-on teaching, Chen Xiaotang completely understands what a director does for a living.
After the meal, Xiao Sheng took a lunch box and sat in the director's car to eat.From a distance, I saw Chen Xiaotang still dragging a few martial artists and extras, explaining the requirements of the scene in the afternoon.Chen Xiaotang said that the general feeling is that Wu Zhi immediately designed the movements, and then the two of them walked and demonstrated for the actors together.
"Okay! Uncle Sheng, there is no director like you! Tang Zai is doing the hard work for you, and you are too lazy to even go down and ask, hum!" Xiao Shengle only took two bites diligently, and saw Huang Rihua grinning Come and talk.
Huang Rihua has a good relationship with director Xiao Sheng, and Huang Rihua also played Xu Zhu in "Dragon Ba Bu" directed by Xiao Sheng.The two can be regarded as "forgetful friends".
Xiao Sheng smiled and swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: "If I go down, will those people listen to me or Tang Zai, isn't it confusing?"
Huang Rihua climbed into the car with a smile.Sitting next to Xiao Sheng, someone outside the car handed over a boxed lunch, Huang Rihua took it and ate it with Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Sheng smiled and said in a low voice: "It's really profitable to let Ah Tang be the leading actor this time - ten jobs for one salary, actor and director at the same time, where can I find such a good young man!"
Huang Rihua laughed so hard that he only coughed, and nodded repeatedly: "You are so sinister. On the surface, you are helping us young people to get ahead, but behind your back, you are just being lazy—disrespecting the old!"
"Who said that, I'm actually very concerned about A-Tang - I'm especially worried that he won't be able to take it anymore, eating so little and doing so much work every day, even Iron Man can't stand it!" Xiao Sheng said with rare distress.
"That's true, the food of our crew is too bad. The company has been clamoring to save money... people can't stand it anymore. Those actresses only eat instant noodles. I think they can be the spokesperson for the image of weight loss after I go back." !"
Xiao Sheng thought for a while, put down his chopsticks and looked outside, called his assistant over, and said, "Help me find the theater manager who is in charge of purchasing and catering."
The assistant answered and went.It didn't take much time.The drama manager hurried over, bowed slightly to the director Xiao Sheng, and said, "What's the matter, director? Are you... not satisfied with the food?"
"I'm not talking to you about this." Xiao Sheng said, "You go to the city in the afternoon and buy some nutritious food. It's better to pick some fruits that girls like. Anyway, you can buy them if they are nutritious. Lah...it’s so remote here, you can’t even buy anything.”
Huang Rihua nodded and said: "Yes, buy some of each item and hand it over to the people behind to keep it; also, tell the restaurant that makes our boxed lunch that there is only one vegetarian meal every day, don't think that we Hong Kong people They are all Kaizi, so easy to fool, let them have more food and more rice. Our crew pays a lot of money, if it is so crazy, we will change to another restaurant and not take care of him to make this money!"
The director of the drama had a hippie smile on his face, and then asked the director Xiao Sheng, "Big brother, does this afternoon's trip count as a business trip?"
"Forget it, of course it does." Xiao Sheng said casually: "You work one day for one hundred, and today you get double. What's the problem?"
The drama manager said with a smile on his face: "That's great! Director, you are holy!"
Xiao Sheng's face changed, and he said coldly: "However, it will be counted together with the money for shopping, and it will be deducted from your small treasury!"
The drama manager was taken aback, and quickly apologized with a smile and said nonsense, then retreated embarrassingly.
Huang Rihua next to him couldn't stop laughing—almost everyone in the production team who purchased materials or meals received kickbacks and took money from both sides. Anyone who is an actor knows this kind of thing.It can also be regarded as the unspoken rules of filming in Hong Kong.Otherwise, the wireless company is so stingy and the salary is so pitiful, how can they support a family? !
Although Xiao Sheng is a harsh person, he is not very strict about this aspect. This time he came to mainland China to film, and he knew that everyone was working hard, so he turned a blind eye to it. At this moment, he suddenly became serious and scared the director of the show. Fuck the crap.
