Brother Chen Kai seemed to know what Fang Jing was thinking, and smiled, "I know what you young people are thinking. When you get a movie, you want to do this, that, and stuff everything into it."
"But directing is not that simple. Yesterday I took the time to watch your Flash Girl. From a professional point of view, it was very average. The whole story was driven by a compact and interesting story."
"If it weren't for the good story and your level of directing, it would definitely go up to a higher level if I were in charge of it. It's a pity that such a good story is so good."
If Lao Chen hadn't been a kind person and knew that he didn't mean what he meant, Fang Jing would have punched him and reduced the things he worked so hard to photograph to nothing.
Doesn't this mean he can't do it face to face?
"Don't be dissatisfied. I'll show you what a real director is when you come to my group in a few episodes."
The first phase of actors selecting a director is just the prelude to this show, the real excitement is yet to come, when the director selects actors and takes them to shoot in person.
The filming location is no longer a small sports center, but outside, all over the world.
In the later stage, only a few actors will be left in the group, and the director will teach them step by step, word by word, and that will be the real stuff.
Fang Jingyile said, "Okay, then I will choose Brother Kai to direct you. Remember to choose me."
"Okay, if you behave well I will choose you."
An old man and a young man laughed at each other, making the staff not far away tremble.
Two days later in the morning, the show started recording.
In the center of the stage are four directors, with actors sitting on either side, but there are a few missing.
Forty or fifty actors, divided into twenty-five groups in total, came on stage in batches, and those who didn't arrive sat on the stage first.
The first group is the famous icebreaker, the second group is Xiao Zan's sadness turns into a river, the third group is Bao Wenjing, there are no thieves in the world, the fourth group is Niu Yase's role as Tumor, and the fifth group is Fang Jing's role in The Legend of the Cat Demon...
…
"Welcome to the cast, please take your seats. This program is sponsored by..." Wang Han took the prompt card and read out the names of seven or eight sponsors.
These are the real money-making fathers, and nothing can be done carelessly.
"Next, the first group to appear is Mingdao and Cheng Ruoxuan. They are bringing the ice-breaking operation that has been popular recently. Please invite me."
On the big screen on the stage, the picture flashed, it was raining heavily late at night, and in an ancestral hall, Mingdao and Cheng Ruoxuan appeared.
Although it is a recorded program, the acting content is not recorded but live. Mingdao said that they are setting up in the stadium downstairs at the moment, and the picture is transmitted from the camera.
The heavy rain poured down, and Mingdao and Cheng Ruoxuan's hair and clothes were soaked. In addition to them, there was an extra actor on the scene, Li Chengru, who acted as a supporting actor for the two.
…
"Get up!" The famous Taoist dragged the supporting actor from the ground and said fiercely to Cheng Ruoxuan: "You have the ability to beat my father to death, one life for another, do you dare? I'll count one, two, three, and we'll shoot together
Gun... come on!"
"Son, don't be afraid. Remember to offer incense to your mother and me in the future." Li Chengru, who played the role, said weakly.
"Stop talking nonsense, Li Fei! Three! Two! One!"
Mingdao and Cheng Ruoxuan only performed one scene. It was very short. No, maybe it was only half a scene. It took less than five minutes to finish the scene.
The two of them didn't have time to remove their makeup after the performance, so they took the time to run to the second floor and stood behind the screen. The door opened and the actor appeared panting, with water dripping from his clothes.
With a drop of water on his head, Mingdao let out a big breath and looked at the four directors on the stage anxiously.
Four minutes on stage, they spent two days rehearsing off stage, and stayed up until two or three o'clock at night before going to bed. Just because there were few lines, they hammered every line and kept thinking about the priorities in each sentence.
"Ming Dao's acting is good." Brother Chen Kai was the first to speak, affirming Ming Dao's acting skills, "You two played two sons. In your eyes, I saw your love for your father. When you said you were unfilial, you burst into tears.
"
The famous part is similar to the one in Fang Jingjiao. Brother Chen Kai doesn't have many surprises, so it's not bad, but it's a pity that he didn't play it.
"Cheng Ruoxuan's problem is more serious."
Brother Chen Kai's second sentence made Cheng Ruoxuan feel cold in his heart.
"Your father is dying, and I asked you to offer him incense in the future. Can you still do it at this time? In your eyes, I didn't see that the dying person opposite was your father at all. Your eyes were too calm."
Damn it, one sentence made Cheng Ruoxuan feel cold in his heart. Brother Chen Kai has already said this. Needless to say, it’s over.
"I think Cheng Ruoxuan is good." Li Shaohong had a different opinion. "The time is short, so it's normal that the acting is not perfect. On the contrary, he is a famous Taoist and has an accent! This is a minus point."
I'm going, Mingdao is confused, actors please take their places, what's going on is acting, what's the deal with accents?
"Obviously, famous actors are better. I personally prefer famous actors. Cheng Ruoxuan is young and has little acting experience, so he is still a bit underwhelmed."
It's rare for Zhao Wei to say something fair.
Accent is not a reason for poor acting skills. Artists on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have accents. Ninety-nine percent of mainland actors do not use original voices when acting, but dubbing.
"I think I have to go up and say a few words at this time." Brother Chen Kai stood up.
"Come on, come on." Wang Han said, "I'd like to invite director Kai Ge. Please come over here."
Brother Chen Kai walked up to Cheng Ruoxuan and danced and taught, "First of all, your state is not right. The focus of this scene is the relationship between father and son. Remember, your father is on the opposite side and he is going to die, but you have the ability to replace him.
life."
"As long as you put down the gun, your father will live. The paradox is that he is a heinous bad guy and must be caught."
While talking, Brother Chen Kai also said a few lines using Cheng Ruoxuan's lines. It is considered that he is dedicated enough to teach opera to this extent.
"Give you another chance, I'd love to see your next performance."
"Thank you, director!"
Cheng Ruoxuan was overjoyed and had a forced smile on his face.
The duck he got flew away. Based on the situation just now, he had a sure chance of victory and promotion. However, Lao Chen personally gave Cheng Ruoxuan a show and asked them to reenact it.
Anyone with eyes can see that it's unfair to him.
The two went downstairs to reenact the performance, and the effect was indeed much better when they did it again. Cheng Ruoxuan changed greatly, and his expressions were in place after several pauses.
On both sides, actors whispered.
"After being given some guidance, it's different. I feel it right away."
"A director is a director. His focus is different from ours, and he can discover many things that we cannot."
Seeing that Fang Jing was silent and seemed a little unhappy, Yan Yalun said: "I heard that you gave a lecture to a famous Taoist before?"
"Yeah!" Fang nodded.
"Cheng Ruoxuan is not talking?"
Fang Jing was stunned.
"The program team must be fair. What you did gave Mingdao an advantage. Director Kai Ge did not do anything wrong." Yan Yalun smiled, "Now both of them are fair."
Brother Chen Kai is a great director after all, so he doesn't have to bully famous people and favor Cheng Ruoxuan. He just sees Cheng Ruoxuan suffering a loss and wants to help him.
Fang Jing gave guidance on Mingdao, and he gave guidance on Cheng Ruoxuan. Both of them received guidance, and it was only fair to perform it again.
