The "Director's Handbook" is not very thick, but it is about two hundred pages long.
It contains all the nouns and techniques used during filming, as well as some related content introductions from the crew...
Of course, there is also some advanced content.
Most of these contents are mixed with obscure academic terms and so-called artistic sense.
There are many nouns that Feng Kai, an out-and-out graduate of Yanying's directing department, can't understand.
He has also read this book.
Finally, I gave up after seeing the boring and dizzying content.
He felt that this thing was not for people to see at all!
But……
Just half an hour ago...
Feng Kai was horrified to find that Zhou Yang knew this obscure content by heart and even asked some questions that even he himself did not understand.
This guy!
You don't really have to memorize the entire "Director's Handbook", do you?
Feng Kai suddenly shook his head when he thought of this.
How can it be?
I must be thinking too much.
……………………
After returning to the house, Zhou Yang put down the "Director's Manual" and lay quietly on the bed.
As he recalled what Feng Kai explained to him, he felt a little enlightened, and then he felt more nagging doubts.
On the one hand, he feels that the movie thing is very magical. It seems like a simple plot, but there are so many truths.
With a slightly different shooting angle, at least three methods of analyzing the plot can be used...
On the other hand, he felt that many contents in the "Director's Manual" mentioned the word "art", which made him feel at a loss.
He occasionally thinks about what is art...
film art?
This is not a strange word. He heard it often when he was in the original world.
Moreover, when the word "art" is added to many things, they will become very high-end.
For example, painting art, sculpture art, dance art, fashion art...
When fashion art came to his mind, he couldn't help but think of the styles of many celebrities in the world and the colorful T-stage shows...
If the styles of young people who used to be "unconventional" were put on the catwalk, would it be another kind of plastic art?
Is "killing Matt unconventional" really considered art?
As he thought about it, many vulgar things came to Zhou Yang's mind.
It seems that when the word "art" is added to these things, they somehow feel very elegant.
And shit, urine, smelly farts are vulgar, right?
What if we add art to swear words and turn it into excretion art or fart art?
Did he suddenly become taller again?
If it doesn’t work, let’s change the term and replace many things with “performance art”…
Is this high-end?
Zhou Yang fell into deep thought.
And very serious.
However, the more you think about this thing, the more awkward and confusing it becomes.
It seems so far away...
It seems very close.
During this time, he felt like he was immersed in a strange world, as if a door was slowly opening towards him.
"call!"
"Sleep, sleep!"
"Why do you think so much?"
"A person like me who has no art is thinking about art..."
"Isn't this a big joke?"
"..."
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang suddenly felt much more comfortable.
…………………………
the next day.
Liu Tingting, who plays the young lady, and Zhang Genshui's lover Xu Li went up the mountain and officially joined the crew.
Xu Li plays a female character in the movie who is often teased by the miners and is responsible for boiling water and doing some hygiene in the mining area.
This character's role is not too important, more like a background board, but it is a kind of green leaf character that is not lacking in the whole movie, which prevents the whole movie from being extremely dark and depressing, and at least has a sense of humor.
With a slight sense of warmth.
Xu Li is neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with this crew.
Well, the assistant director and these staff seemed quite professional, but the size of the crew was really small, which was slightly different from her expectations.
But let’s make do with shooting first.
Today is her first official day joining the crew.
In the past, she had accompanied Zhang Genshui up the mountain.
But this time, because of the landslide in the mine next door, which I heard was quite difficult, Zhang Genshui ran to join in the fun, so she had to do it by herself.
She prides herself on being from a wealthy family, and when a wealthy family faces the staff at home, some necessary greeting gifts are indispensable.
The red envelopes were packed in large and small packages, and also contained some supplements and fruits...
She asked her bodyguards to bring a lot of them and came to the shooting area in person, planning to reward the director and staff.
but……
When Xu Li came to the crew, she seemed to feel an indescribable depressive atmosphere in the entire crew.
Photographers gathered around the office.
They stared at the center of the camera with serious expressions, as if they were facing some severe trial.
"What happened to Inoue!"
"It fell off the roof! It fell off the roof! His brother was buried in it!"
"What?"
"..."
"Stuck! My expression is wrong. I'm still not interested. Let's take a rest first."
"..."
Assistant director Feng Kai changed his costume.
Wearing a pair of cheap black-framed eyes and a military coat, the hair that was originally neatly combed now looks a bit messy. I don’t know if it’s an illusion...
Xu Li felt that Feng Kai's skin was a little darker.
He seemed quite depressed at this moment, squatting on the ground and smoking while reading the script and the camera.
Especially the way he looked at the camera was so straight, as if he was staring into a big hole in the camera.
Zhou Yang stood next to him, put down the speaker, and looked at him seriously.
Feng Kai's face looked uncertain, as if he was about to have an attack, but he seemed to be holding back.
He stared at the camera even harder!
The midday sun shines on this land...
The staff all looked at the two directors.
The feeling of oppression is getting stronger and stronger.
Xu Li stood outside the crowd and watched this scene. She hesitated for a moment and finally chose to stand aside and watch.
"Okay, reshoot!" Feng Kai finally stopped looking at the contents of the camera and nodded.
……………………
Xu Li stood there for a long time.
Until dusk, this simple plot was not finished filming.
She witnessed the horror of filming.
Yes!
It can only be described as tragic.
After just a few days without coming to the set, she found that the entire set had changed.
Zhou Yang seemed to have become a dictator.
Whenever he went to an inappropriate place, he would shout "stuck", but he would not say why he was stuck, but would hand the photographed thing to Feng Kai.
Assistant director Feng Kai seemed to be tortured to death by Zhou Yang. Several times he was on the verge of emotional collapse and seizure. However, after seeing the camera lens, he finally resisted and did not have a seizure. Instead, he continued to stare at the script and pondered for a while.
After the meeting, we will continue to perform.
When did the assistant director become like this?
In Xu Li's impression, assistant director Feng Kai seemed to be a very unruly, talented and ambitious person.
What now...
Why did you start acting in a movie and become like this?
When she thought of this, Xu Li suddenly became nervous before she even participated in the movie.
Especially when Zhou Yang walked up to her and looked at her in a very serious tone, her heart skipped a beat.
"Miss Xu..."
"Director Zhou."
"Ms. Xu, um, do you really want to make this movie?"
"ah?"
this moment……
Xu Li suddenly fell into confusion.
……………………
Late at night.
Feng Kai felt angry, but he couldn't let it out.
Look at your acting skills in the camera.
It does look very clumsy and the expression is very unprofessional.
He himself was aware of this problem.
Compare those two miners.
Although he didn't want to admit it, in terms of that plot alone, the two miners were indeed better than him.
Feng Kai suddenly felt a little frustrated again.
He walked out of the room to get some air.
After walking, I came to Zhou Yang's room.
Zhou Yang's room had the lights on as always.
He heard a noise inside the house.
He looked at the crack in the window for a moment and saw the scene in the house...
"Second uncle, I have become a bad person..."
"..."
"Oh, I don't have the face to see people, I don't want to live anymore..."
"..."
Feng Kai saw Zhou Yang looking in the mirror in the middle of the night, crying very aggrievedly...
Then, as if possessed, he showed a silly smile in the mirror that he couldn't hide.
It was a kind of giggle that came from deep inside, as if seeing money for the first time...
Then, he took the mirror and climbed onto the bed. He took off his upper body in the cold weather, shivering and covering his crotch. He looked shy and at a loss, as if he was a young girl who was forced to go to a massage parlor for the first time...
…
Outside!
A gust of cold wind blew.
Feng Kai was so frightened that he shivered and felt cold all over!
Isn’t this guy possessed by a ghost?
Damn it!
This is in the mountains and wilderness!
