Zhao Mingyang lay on the bed for a while and waited until someone called for dinner before going out.
The crew set up two large round tables in the yard. One table served a dozen people to eat a big pot of rice. Liu Bingbing and Zhao Mingyang sat at one table. This table was for the director, screenwriter, leading actor, etc., and the other table was for beauty props and props.
Executive etc.
In fact, the people at this table represent the right to speak in this crew. The male protagonist is an old actor in his forties. He keeps chatting about the mountains to liven up the atmosphere, drinks with Zhao Mingyang, and makes some jokes from time to time.
He made dirty jokes and glanced at Liu Bingbing intentionally or unintentionally.
Those eyes were full of initiative, and he made no secret of getting the initiative.
After Zhao Mingyang finished eating, he immediately asked the male protagonist to pack his things and leave.
The male protagonist looked confused. He didn't know how to offend Zhao Mingyang. Zhao Mingyang said without any emotion: "You don't meet the standard of a male protagonist I want. It's as simple as that. I will give you all the labor fees."
Everyone was confused. When Zhao Mingyang came, he asked the male protagonist to leave. Wasn’t all the filming going in vain?
Not only the male protagonist, but also the female protagonist Liu Bingbing was complained by Zhao Mingyang: "Why do you dress up? Who asked you to dress up? Who told you to wash your face and put on light makeup every day? Don't put makeup on me for the next week, and don't dress up deliberately, except for washing
Apart from brushing your teeth and brushing your face, don't even style your hair, and give me the same set of clothes. You can't leave the house for a week, so you stay in the house with me. You eat, drink, and have sex in the house, and you can't go out even half a step. I can't do it.
You leave too."
After hearing this, the male protagonist felt a lot more comfortable. He didn't dare to offend Zhao Mingyang. After all, he couldn't afford to offend Zhao Mingyang, but the director felt bad. Why did Zhao Mingyang become the director directly?
Everyone became nervous instantly, and Zhao Mingyang asked the director to accompany him out for a walk.
The director is a director carefully selected by Zhao Mingyang who previously specialized in documentaries. He is thirty-six years old this year and is not considered a new director. He is not popular in the industry.
This person became famous at a young age. When he was in college, he made a campus movie which was quite popular. However, the few movies he made later became very popular, and then he changed his career to making documentaries.
But the documentary itself has a small audience, mainly because this job is the best he has received so far.
Zhao Mingyang found him and signed him because of his ups and downs over the years and his documentary-making skills, as well as his inability to hide his desire to become famous.
His name is Xu Jie, an industry veteran who has been in the directing industry for more than ten years.
This time Zhao Mingyang came to him and told him directly that he didn't care about the box office and only wanted quality. This made Xu Jie extremely happy, and the start-up capital given was not low, which was enough to make a good movie.
It's just that the heroine was arranged by Zhao Mingyang, an artist from Daotian Entertainment. Xu Jie felt dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, she was arranged by the financial owner, and the male protagonist was found by Xu Jie, a relatively well-known person in the industry.
An experienced actor with acting skills.
But after Zhao Mingyang came here, he drove away the male protagonist and reprimanded the female protagonist, which was a slap in the face of director Xu Jie, because in the crew, the director is the patriarch and the one in charge, and he did not lead the crew well.
Zhao Mingyang was no longer too lazy to pretend with this group of people. He directly confessed his unhappiness, just to give these people a little color. Otherwise, he would have filmed whatever he wanted. He had to follow the script. The script was decided by Zhao Mingyang himself. Zhao Mingyang
The reason is to praise Liu Bingbing and to win the award.
Xu Jie and Zhao Mingyang were walking side by side. Xu Jie didn't like to talk, but he must be talkative, otherwise he wouldn't be in the director's profession. He just had nothing to say to Zhao Mingyang. Zhao Mingyang's performance just now
, which makes people shudder a little.
Mainly, Xu Jie felt that Zhao Mingyang was interfering in his work a bit.
When the two of them reached the entrance of the village, Zhao Mingyang found a place to sit down, and Xu Jie also found an open space to sit down. They kept a meter apart. Zhao Mingyang took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and threw it away.
I gave it to Xu Jie. Xu Jie likes to smoke, has troubled eyes, and is a heavy smoker. Zhao Mingyang knows this.
Zhao Mingyang also lit a cigarette for himself. He didn't smoke much, so he put it down and smoked one with Xu Jie. Otherwise, if two people smoke together, if one smokes and the other doesn't, it will feel like something is missing.
Zhao Mingyang basically does not smoke. The main reason is that if you smoke too many cigarettes and you become addicted to cigarettes, it is difficult to quit. Moreover, smoking has a very fatal point, that is, when there is no cigarette, it will make people emotionally irritable and brain-burning.
There is no way to calm down, so many people want to quit smoking not necessarily for other reasons, but the higher they go, the more they need to have a clear mind.
Zhao Mingyang pointed to the farmland and rows of houses in front of him and said: "If I don't invite the male protagonist away, you will be the one to invite him away. Look at these things in front of you, do you see anything?"
Xu Jie didn't understand what Zhao Mingyang meant, he really didn't understand.
Zhao Mingyang saw Xu Jie's confusion, he pointed to the house and land again and said: "Let me tell you a truth, you may know why I want to shoot here and why I chose this subject.
First, let’s talk about the subject matter. Let’s talk about why we chose this place. If you understand this, you won’t fall into the illusion that you think it is right. Do you want to become famous in one fell swoop? Do you want to produce good works?
If you want it, you have to listen to me. In the past, film studios could not control the market box office, but now they can. Because of big data, we can capture information about many people. Do you understand?
I can tell you how to make a good movie and how to win awards. If you want this, you have to listen to me. I told you before, but you didn’t listen. You still followed your interpretation of the movie.
.
You think you are a professional, you are indeed a professional, but you are one of those who failed in your profession. Don’t think that you are great and your talent is not appreciated. There is no such thing as talent being ignored in this world. As long as you have talent, nothing can stop you.
.
No matter what, you will always have something to eat. What I said is hard to hear. You may not be happy. Do you think I know nothing? Don’t I just have some money?
First of all, I earned my money. You can do it too, but you haven’t. I am tens of thousands of times better than you at making money.
As for professionalism, let me tell you what professionalism is. I can say that you can do it, and I can basically do it. Don’t believe it, this is the manuscript of the shots I drew. As for organizing personnel to coordinate work, this is
Management that any corporate executive can do is division of labor.
As for camera control and lighting, I also know these, because I used to make commercials at Empty Bottle Media, and I personally participated in and practiced the shooting process.
But I admit that my professionalism is not as strong as yours, because you have been doing this thing all the time, and I am definitely not as comprehensive as you.
But I understand the market, what people like, and what the judges like. Let me tell you, any famous director understands the market and what the audience likes. Without the audience's attention, no one will buy tickets at all. It's just that
The preferences of the times are different from those of today.
If you have to study the works of directors from that period and use them now, that would be wrong. Some of them are forty or fifty years old. You have to look at the current market and see what is mainstream, what is business, and what is art."
Xu Jie was blushing after being told by Zhao Mingyang, and he was still a little unconvinced. However, when he saw the storyboard manuscript on Zhao Mingyang's mobile phone and Zhao Mingyang's painting skills, Xu Jie could tell that Zhao Mingyang had painting skills.
