Even though the sun came out at noon, there was a biting chill filling the entire mountain.
winter.
It's probably coming.
Guys like Zhou Yang went up the mountain early in the morning.
Still really not afraid of the cold.
He sat in the passenger seat and wrapped himself in clothes.
Looking expressionlessly at the receding scenery and the heavy trucks filled with coal, I sighed in my heart.
The car is driving on the mountain road.
Still very bumpy.
Maybe it's because I'm used to it, or maybe it's because my attention is distracted.
He didn't feel like vomiting as much as the first time he went up the mountain.
Thinking of Zhou Yang, he couldn't help but think of the scene at midnight last night and the scene in the morning.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought, "Haha".
He asked himself, and felt that he had indeed done his best to be benevolent and righteous!
a movie!
What's most important?
Is it the director or screenwriter?
These are all important, but they are not the most important. From beginning to end, the most important thing in a movie is the actors!
A good and suitable actor, even in a bad movie with a crappy script, can still bring out his bright moments and support part of the bad plot.
On the other hand, if a relatively good script is paired with a relatively good director, but a bad actor is hired, then the script will be ruined, the director will be mad, and the film will be a complete waste of time!
Who the hell are the actors hired for the movie "Mineral Bottom"?
The miner stars!
Feng Kai felt that he was simply crazy!
How to play this?
What do these miners know?
Besides digging coal, what do they do?
How long does it take for an actor of this level to be trained before he can officially start shooting? Isn't this a disaster?
He patiently pointed out the most fatal flaw in the movie "Mineral" very seriously, and suggested that Zhou Yang change a group of actors!
He even suggested that Zhou Yang go to Hengdian to choose.
The extras there are cheap, have relatively good acting skills, and are easier to train.
For a director of his level, facing a layman like Zhou Yang who doesn't know anything, he feels that he has spoken sincerely and poured out his heart and soul, right?
but!
But this guy is extremely stubborn!
He said that he thought they could do it, that they dared to go into the mines, and that as long as they were patient and taught, it would be easy for them to get into the role, and the movie would be more realistic.
Feng Kai was shocked when he heard these words!
What kind of fucking logic is this?
Looking at Zhou Yang's seemingly honest and honest look, but stubborn and stubborn, Feng Kai felt like his lungs were exploding with anger!
I even wanted to slap this guy so hard on the spot that he knelt in front of me and called me daddy!
What kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be?
Do you really think of yourself as a director?
You know a fucking thing!
I kindly remind you, do you think you are a donkey liver and lungs?
Okay, shoot it, shoot it!
Just take the damn pictures yourself, no one will care about you even if you die in the mine!
He angrily left the yard and returned to his room, feeling that this guy was hopeless.
He decided not to care about people like Zhou Yang anymore.
However!
This morning, just when he was about to leave with the crew...
Zhou Yang knocked on his door again.
He originally thought that Zhou Yang came over to apologize for the previous dispute in the yard.
after all!
Everyone knows that what Feng Kai said was from the bottom of his heart and was a piece of advice!
However……
Not only did he not come to apologize, he came over and made outrageous remarks!
"Director Feng, I know that you may have looked down on this movie from the beginning. You feel that this movie is just a movie that the coal boss invested in and made for fun, and it is not worth taking seriously at all..."
"Furthermore, I am just a marginal outsider. Apart from being able to connect wires, I don't know anything else but prefer to point fingers. I don't even know how to use a camera, and the actors I hire are just some galalila who dig coal.
workers..."
"Unprofessional screenwriter, unprofessional actors, a director in name only..."
"If it were me, I would also think that all this is a grass-roots team full of absurd jokes..."
"But, Director Feng, please believe me for once, okay?"
"I feel that since we are doing this, we should try our best to do it well."
"Don't you guys who make movies really yearn for those movie awards?"
"Golden Horse Awards, Venice, Berlin, Cannes..."
"I think after our movie is finished, we can also go to those places and walk on the red carpet..."
"..."
When Zhou Yang stood in front of him and said these ridiculous words with an extremely serious expression...
Feng Kai almost squirted all the water he drank.
He was simply shocked!
He felt that his outlook on life had been refreshed!
Damn it!
He has been part of so many crews and has met at least a dozen directors...
Naturally, he has seen directors who are very good at bragging.
But those who brag are basically talking about the Basic Law, and there is at least a slight possibility that it is somewhat reliable.
but!
Zhou Yang is a birdman!
what did he say?
Golden Horse Awards? Berlin? Venice? Cannes?
Does this guy know what those four awards mean to a movie?
Does this guy know how difficult it is to get tickets for these four awards, and how many directors dream of it?
Looking at Zhou Yang who was very serious, even so serious that he didn't even dodge his eyes...
Feng Kai felt like he was watching a joke, a clown!
Could this guy have seen a lot of directors showing off on the red carpet on TV and thought he could do it?
……………………
One p.m.
Feng Kai and others came to the shooting area.
"Have they not had lunch yet?"
"Maybe not……"
"..."
When they came to the edge of the mine, Feng Kai saw that Zhou Yang was once again covered in coal ash and was pulled up from the mine in a state of embarrassment.
The bandage originally wrapped around his head turned pitch black, and his face was stained with traces of blood.
After coming up, he and several actors started to wolf down instant noodles regardless of their dirty hands.
When Zhou Yang saw himself, he immediately put down the noodles in his hands and walked towards him!
"Director Feng, look at these things I took. Can you give me some pointers to see if there is anything that needs improvement?"
"Okay, let me see what masterpiece our Director Zhou has worked so hard to produce..."
Feng Kai originally came over to watch the fun and see what kind of jokes Zhou Yang would make.
When he took over the camera, he indeed had this mentality in mind.
There is a hint of smile on the face.
But……
When he saw the playback content in the camera, his expression was a little dull.
"How about it?"
After facing Zhou Yang's expectant eyes, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
In the end, Feng Kai shook his head.
"Very unprofessional, too amateurish. There are too many angles and loopholes. Especially your framing and angles are simply rubbish... In addition, what is your lens shaking? It's really mature.
Photographers should not shake their lenses..."
He said these words without mercy, and sharply pointed out a lot of Zhou Yang's shortcomings.
After finishing speaking, he handed the camera back to Zhou Yang.
Still expressionless.
but……
But I was a little shocked.
Although the shooting technique was still very unprofessional, he could clearly feel the improvement in Zhou Yang's shooting ability. Compared with yesterday, it looked like it was shot by two people!
Moreover, I don’t know if it’s an illusion!
He found that the three miners seemed to be acting a little more professionally in the video...
If you put aside other things, just from the quality of the video, there is even a faint tendency to catch up with them!
