Chapter 3236 The director is not pretending, the grandson is.

Knowledge changes destiny. This has been confirmed again by Tiedan and Shitou. If the two of them really did not authenticate and went directly to the bottom of the coal mine, after that explosion, anyway, according to their Two means it is impossible to climb up.

Director Li sighed, not knowing what to say, and then said: "Okay? Since you can read, I am forced to give you the script. You memorize the contents of the script for me. You don't have to follow the script. The script tells the lines, but don’t remember everyone’s meaning for me.

I don’t require you to memorize lines like professional actors, but you can clarify all the content for me through your words. I don’t require you not to deviate from the rest.

As long as you understand these meanings, I don't require you to match the lines of the sentences word by word, but just tell me the general meaning, so that I can give you an hour. You can give me the content we are going to shoot today. I'll memorize it and see how much I can remember. When the time comes, we'll slowly change it. "

Since you are an extra, you can't ask for too much at this time. Anyway, according to your director's wishes, a miner of stone and iron materials can roughly express the meaning clearly.

As for asking Shitou and Tiedan to memorize and speak the lines of Lao Song and Lao Tang verbatim, that is absolutely impossible, and it is difficult for two ordinary people.

Moreover, Director Li also believes that it is best for Shitou and Tiedan to perform in their true colors. In this case, there is no need to memorize all the lines in the script word for word, and then they can express them in front of the camera.

Anyway, the two of them used to be miners, so at this time they understand the lives of miners better. As long as they can tell the general content of the things that Director Li arranged himself and let the camera capture it, this is already considered a success. It worked.

Therefore, Director Li did not ask Shitou and Tiedan to do anything, and the two of them really memorized their lines word for word. This is not very realistic either.

Although Director Li is a new director who has just graduated, he does not have much experience, let alone directing a major movie.

At most, he has only filmed commercials, which is still different from mastering the shooting of a big movie. However, Director Li dares to delegate power. He has delegated the dialogue matters to Shitou and Tiedan. , anyway, just let them follow their own living habits.

What Director Li wants is for the two of them to perform this thing for me according to the general content given by Director Li. This shows that Director Li has great trust in Shitou and Tiedan.

What he wanted was the story of the miners, not the story of the two miners he wrote. What he wanted was the story of the real miners' lives. So when filming, although Shitou and Tiezhan didn't recite their lines, , however, the performance was relatively smooth.

Moreover, it was relatively easy during the filming. The first time, that is to say, without turning on the camera, let Shitou and Tiedan perform it by themselves first, and then shoot the second time.

When Director Li is filming, he has a very straightforward habit, that is, he will shoot a scene up to three times. Under normal circumstances, he only shoots it twice, and it is considered complete.

Even when Ye Ming's character Xiao Yuan went to find the woman who had lost her footing, he only filmed it three times.

When he was really free, Ye Ming also asked Director Li this question: "Director, why do you shoot it three times? It's only three times at most. If you shoot a scene three times, what will you do when it comes to editing?" ?

I have also filmed some scenes with him. Whether it is a movie or a TV series, if I shoot it three times, what if some of the shots are not suitable? "

Director Li said with a smile: "First of all, I have gone through almost all the shots of this movie in my mind no less than 10 times, so I know what kind of shots I need, and the most important thing is that the most realistic The reason is because why does one shot of a movie need to be shot so many times?"

Ye Ming immediately said to him: "Why not shoot? When I shoot a movie, it is normal to shoot three or five times, and seven or eight times is also common.

It's normal to shoot a scene for half a day. I've even encountered someone who shot a scene 30 times. "

Director Li smiled and patted the camera and said: "Actually, Ye Ming, let me tell you something. Why do some directors in our circle like to shoot so many shots? Shooting 10 times and 8 times is not enough. 20 times. In fact, the craziest thing I have ever encountered was one that was filmed 73 times. I tell you that these are not necessary. At most, they are used by the artistic directors to pretend to be onions.

Why do you take so many photos to show how capable you are? What a waste, and they were able to shoot it so many times. The first thing is that they are pretending to be big. The style is not fake, but the grandson is.

Pretending to be mysterious and knowing how to make movies, and what’s more, their crew is not short of money. They can cook and burn the film. Anyway, the money is the investors’ money, not theirs. If They shot it two or three times and it was done. Doesn't that show that they themselves are incompetent as a director?

If you shoot 20 times, three or four times, so that no one can understand it, then choose them as a director who is more capable. They will say that this is art, and you people don’t understand. As for editing in the second Thirty times, or at most one or two shots, will suit their needs. In the end, when the film is finished, only one shot will meet their needs, and the rest will be a waste, you know?

So I think there is absolutely no need to pretend, unless the actor makes a mistake in his performance.

A small part of other directors do it for art, but most of them are just pretending. They are willing to pretend that investors are willing to spend money for them. This is their freedom. Of course, I don't object to them. After all, they have proven their success through previous works. If you live your life, others can find investment. That is their ability. We don’t envy others, but we can’t do it. We have no money. We don’t have the extra money to buy more films, so at this time, we are the most popular one. I only shoot the scene three times. Normally, I only shoot it twice.

Why not take another shot? I shoot it once because I'm afraid that the shot won't be suitable when the time comes. I shoot it twice, as long as I have a guarantee. So, under normal circumstances, I only shoot a shot twice, or at most three times.

Because we don’t have money, our crew doesn’t have so many photos for me to waste, and I don’t think it’s necessary. Since I already feel that this shot has already passed and meets my needs, it is a complete waste of time for me to take so many shots. .

Of course, the most important thing is that our crew is poor and we don’t have that much money. Maybe if I get rich and can find investment in the future, I can film it more than ten times or something. This is entirely possible, because people can change this, right?

At least our crew is very poor now, we don’t have that much money, and our money needs to be reserved for post-production and so on, so we can’t afford to waste it.

Do you think I don’t want Shitou and Tiedan to recite my script line by line?

I don’t have time. Besides, I also hope they can perform the purely natural exchanges between miners. For example, I ask you to memorize all these lines. Every word is correct. That’s because you are a professional. actor.

You have such professional skills, and I also need you as a professional actor to support me. In this scene, you and Mingyue are the male and female protagonists in our movie. Only you two are professional actors. The soul is supported by the two of you.

So in such a situation, I need you two to memorize my lines word for word, and you need to use acting skills to express the inner tension of the character in front of the camera.

You two are the most important people in my movie. You are the two people played by Tiedan and I, Lao Song and Lao Tang. At most, they are just an introduction.

Although there are many scenes with the two of them, they are just used to bring out the male and female protagonists, so my requirements for them are not particularly high, and they are not professional actors. , in such a situation, if you are not a professional actor and you ask someone to memorize the lines word for word, this is somewhat embarrassing.

It's 100 yuan a day, which is basically the price of a group performance.

If that's the case, then it's a bit too much to ask people to memorize their lines word for word, so that's it. Filming is actually not as mysterious as you think. If you can pass it, don't do it a second time. .

I think the crew you were with were filming 10 or 20 times. It wasn’t that the director thought the filming was not good, but that the director had to use more shots to maintain his sense of mystery on the crew. In other words, he was just pretending. .

As an actor, you don't know what shots the director wants. You can only express your emotions directly in front of the competition under the director's orders again and again.

This is also one of the reasons why directors like ng when filming many film and television dramas. Our crew has absolutely no need for this. Ultimately, it’s because our crew doesn’t have enough money, and we can’t just shoot so many shots over and over again. "

Many directors in Xiangjiang are quick shooters. There is a director named Wang Jing who was able to film "The Legend of Dragon Slayer" in more than a week.

This is a typical representative of fast shooters.

And this time, Director Li is almost in the same situation.

Basically, in 5 days, I shot the subdivisions I needed. For the remaining two days, the situation was quite tense. The crew and the crew were directly in a van. Sitting.

At this time, Director Li comforted Shitou and Tiedan and said, "Don't worry, you two. I have already made an agreement with the mine owners of the small coal mine. I will lend them 5,000 yuan for filming in their small coal mine. Moreover, I will not Their location will be exposed. This has been agreed with the intermediary, and they will only know if there are no problems.

We don’t have much time. We only have two days. We must complete the remaining scenes in two years. And I can tell the three of you whether our film will be successful this time. In fact, The most important thing is that we went to Xiaofolk to shoot.

If it can meet my needs and my psychological expectations, then our movie is only one step away from success. If we can't shoot the shots I need, then I guess this movie will not be successful. There are some doubts.

So, everyone must work hard to take good shots. "

At this time, Shitou was a little worried and said to the director, "I am not afraid of shooting the camera. I have become familiar with it in the past two days and can express the meaning of these shots according to the director's requirements."

Actually, I don’t understand acting. I just want to act according to the director’s words. We can do whatever the director tells us to do. I’m not particularly worried about this. What’s more, I’m playing an absentee. I’ve been absentee before, so there’s no need for that. I'm just absentee from work when I play.

So, what kind of state do you want us to have, director, I can basically give you what kind of state it is, before going to work or during work.

I can express it clearly to you when we chat, even when we talk about the teasing between us after get off work.

But that's not what I'm worried about at this time. What I'm worried about is that if we go down to the small coal kiln, how will our safety be ensured? The safety of the small coal kiln is the least guaranteed.

Those are indeed black frames. Just like the name of your movie, they are indeed called black frames. The security measures are very poor. If a few of us are filming there and there is a landslide or explosion or something, then we It's troublesome, that's what worries me the most.

To be honest, I once swore that I would never go back to Xiaomanyao, but it was not for money. I had no choice. My family also needed money, so I agreed to the director to go to Xiaomanyao again. .

If you have never been to a small coal kiln, you definitely don’t know what it’s like to go down to a small coal kiln. It feels like having your head stuck to your waistband. Every time we go out to the police, we have a The feeling of returning from hell, the feeling of coming back to life again.

Although the money given by these small coal mines is relatively high, we have to fight for it with our lives.

I just don't understand why we have to go to the small coal mine? Can't we set up a location?

We use a lot of coal here, so there is a small coal kiln for an outdoor scene. It is an outdoor scene, right?

I heard what you all said, we can just set up one outside. "
