Dad Academy

Chapter 1204 Digging for details (33)

At the end of the first session, Liuliu hurriedly ran to drink water, holding her own cup and sucking on the straw, her belly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye...

The second part is a performance without physical objects. The teacher asks the children what they like to do most.

Xiaobai said she likes digging sand the most.

Zhang Tan: "..."

Liuliu said she likes to... look in the mirror.

Everyone: "..."

No, you're not!

The teacher asked them to perform a performance without real objects. Xiaobai came to dig sand first.

There are no shovels, no buckets, and no sand pits, but you have to perform the feeling of having these.

Xiaobai was a little confused, he had never played like this before.

The teacher gave careful guidance. He performed a performance first, and then asked Xiaobai to perform on his own. How he usually digs sand is how he performs now.

Xiaobai thought for a while, and then with the encouragement of the old man, he performed a show of digging sand with his bare hands.

The teacher watched from the side and gave timely guidance on which movement range should be larger and when the hands should feel a little heavier...

Then there was the show of looking in the mirror.

After watching Xiaobai's performance just now, this child already knew roughly what was going on. She stood still, grinned at the air, winked, and looked like I'm cute, I'm cute.

The children all seem to be pretty, and they all confidently think that they are the cutest and most adorable children in the world.

…

Zhang Tan watched with gusto. The children were getting better and better, and he didn't have to keep watching. He saw new messages constantly coming from his mobile phone. When he opened it, he found that his new film was being discussed enthusiastically in the university class group.

The topic started when someone asked Wang Junhao if he had auditioned for "I Am Zhan Er".

Wang Junhao chatted with everyone and showed a photo of him and Zhang Tan while having dinner.

"Zhang Tan has changed so much now that he is unrecognizable."

"So handsome."

"Is he going to be the director this time?"

"What's the story?"

"Directing a movie is not that easy, and the investment can easily be wasted."

“It’s better to accumulate slowly and be safer.”

"Is Zhang Tan too impatient?"

"a little worried."

…

Everyone was talking about it, some were happy for Zhang Tan, while others were worried and doubted his ability.

Zhang Tan has never been a director before, has no experience directing a movie, and even has very little experience as an assistant director, so some people worry that he takes it too much for granted.

Wang Junhao couldn't reply one by one, so he just replied whatever he saw. He has now entered the intensive training class held by the crew and hired a teacher to teach them, mainly explaining the life and daily conditions of people with mental retardation. The two screenwriters are also here to communicate with the actors in real time.

In addition to the lively chatting in the group, there were also several friend applications, all from the class group. After passing the friend application, they asked if there was a chance to join the crew.

Zhang Tan didn't pay attention to these doubts. He didn't have a good relationship with his college classmates when he was studying. After graduating from college, they went their separate ways. Their relationship... wasn't even close to each other.

The crew of "I Am Zhan Er" worked in an orderly manner, and when everything was ready, a start-up ceremony was held.

The opening ceremony was very simple and Zhang Tan deliberately kept a low profile, but several media still came to the scene.

After returning home, these media wrote news, most of which were positive reports, but some also questioned, mainly about Zhang Tan's identity as a director.

"Writer turned director, is he confident or is he just taking risks?" 》

"Golden screenwriter = good director?" 》

…

Nowadays, the profession of director seems to have changed. Actors, variety show comedians, and third-rate writers can become it. It seems that as long as they have money, anyone can get involved and make some shoddy stuff to make money. The chaos in the directing and film and television circles makes the public think that directing is easy and everyone can do it.

Zhang Tan has transformed from a screenwriter to a director. Naturally, some people will be dissatisfied and think that he is another person who disrespects the director's profession.

Because the starring role is Zhang Yuyan and Chen Feiya also participates, "I Am Zhan Er" has become somewhat popular, and there has been a heated debate on the Internet.

Some recognize Zhang Tan's past achievements, while others think that his confidence has been inflated. Screenwriting and directing are two completely different professions. A good screenwriter does not mean a good director. There are specialties in the industry, and there is no omnipotent person. Just be yourself Not good at it?

These people are not optimistic about the film directed by Zhang Tan. They think it is just for fun and they cannot expect the quality of the film. They lower the requirements and it will be good if he can finish it.

Moreover, the plot summary of "I Am Zhan Er" has been released. It does not seem to be a plot that pleases the audience. It is niche and unpopular. The protagonist is a mentally retarded and a child. Can this have a box office?

Some of Zhang Yuyan's fans even called on him not to take on the film and to get out of the movie as soon as possible without tying up his own career.

They believe that Zhang Yuyan's career is currently on a good upward trend and they should not delay the golden development period.

Zhang Tan ignored the noise and plunged into work as soon as the movie started.

He had worked as an assistant director before, when he was filming "The Hidden Corner". However, although the assistant director and the director are one word different, they are actually very different.

Zhang Tan felt that all kinds of problems were coming towards him, and he was forced to make a decision without giving him time to think about it.

It took several days for him to gradually adapt to the director's rhythm.

This period of time can be said to be his busiest period, which is completely different from his previous work as a screenwriter.

Except for the day when the filming started, the kid Shen Liuliu was in school for a while, so he had to wait until the weekend before he could come to film.

For this reason, these hours were used to shoot other scenes that did not include Pulmonary.

In order to squeeze out as much time as possible to prepare for Liliu's role, Zhang Tan strictly followed the filming schedule and often had to work overtime at night.

No one knows whether the scene with Shen Liuliu as a child can be filmed smoothly, so Zhang Tan needs to be prepared.

When Zhang Yuyan, who had been working at Xiaoxiong Instant Noodles Factory for half a month, came back, Zhang Tan almost didn't dare to recognize him.

The change has been too great. The steady man in the past has become a slow person, with slow eyes, slow movements, slow speech, and slow brain!

He stood there without needing to speak or move. You only needed to look at him to see that he had low intelligence.

For half a month, he lived and ate with those workers with low intelligence, observed them, learned from them, put himself into their place, and even experienced their ups and downs, and went out shopping with them on weekends.

After the movie started filming, in order to maintain his condition, he decided to live alone after discussing with Chen Feiya.

In the past, two people lived together.

Chen Feiya is a little worried about his state and believes that the inside and outside of the drama should be separated. She cannot be immersed in the drama 24 hours a day, thereby losing her true self.

She hopes that Zhang Yuyan can be himself again when he is not filming, and be Zhang Yuyan, not Zhan Er.

Zhang Yuyan also uses a big tongue when talking to her outside of filming!

And his crooked fingers make him look like a Zhan Er walking into reality.

Zhang Yuyan's dedication is not only reflected in his interpretation of Zhan Er, but also in the filming process. In one scene, Zhan Er hurriedly brought a cake to see Zhan Baobao. He ran so fast that the floor slipped and he didn't When I was able to stand still, I fell hard and rolled down the stairs.

When Zhang Yuyan was filming this scene, he fell and screamed. The staff on the side looked worried for him and were ready to rush up to check his injuries at any time.

She fell down three times in this scene, and Chen Feiya felt very distressed. When Zhang Tan shouted CUT, she quickly greeted her boyfriend, but she saw that her boyfriend stood up slowly and was injured.

But Zhang Yuyan did not go aside to rest immediately, but looked at Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan also looked at him and hesitated for a moment. Zhang Yuyan immediately said, "Then shoot again!"

"Are you crazy? Take a rest first and let me see your feet." Chen Feiya pulled him aside and Zhang Tan also said, rest for 5 minutes.

The prop masters immediately went to prepare the fourth cake, while the costumers hurriedly wiped the cake off Zhang Yuyan's body.

Zhang Tan took a bottle of water, walked to Zhang Yuyan, and handed the water to him.

Zhang Yuyan took the water and took two sips. Zhang Tan said, "Would you like to come in front of the camera and see what you did just now?"

"good."

Zhang Yuyan stood up, came to the monitor, and watched his actions again and again.

Zhang Tan paused the screen, pointed to a place on the screen and said, "Look here carefully. When you fall, there is a subconscious protective action."

"Well, I'll pay attention later."

Chen Feiya listened on the sidelines and felt that these two people were crazy. They had to fall and get injured in order to film a scene.

She said: "When people fall, they instinctively make subconscious protective movements. This is inevitable. If this movement is eliminated, it will appear unreal."

Zhang Yuyan did not answer. Zhang Tan explained: "Normal people do make subconscious protective movements, but Zhan Er's intelligence is not enough for a 7-year-old, and his brain is not very good. His reaction is several beats slow, so it is normal." Basically, he had no time to react and make these protective movements."

Chen Feiya was speechless, but felt that Zhang Tan was right.

Zhang Tan was amazed by Zhang Yuyan's good condition and admired his professionalism.
