Disaster Artist

"Disaster Artist(

buzzing.

buzzing.

Zeng Yuanwen's mind was blank, only a bunch of bees were constantly flying up and down, and the bursts of tinnitus dragged him away from the real world, as if his soul was out of his body, floating in the air and staring at the dumbfounded figure But there was nothing he could do, he could only keep spinning in place.

grunt.

Zeng Yuanwen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said slowly, "Director, I'm sorry, what did you just say? I, I didn't understand, you mean I got the role?"

"Yes, male lead, male number one, so you know how important your role is, right? You must exercise, even if you don't have six-pack abs, you need to keep your body shapely and healthy. The most important thing is that your face needs to be healthy and natural, and you need to exercise. It's a very different thing from someone who doesn't exercise and someone who doesn't."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Qian's words were lighthearted, but on the other end of the phone, Zeng Yuanwen's eyes went black, and then the whole world instantly became colorful, as if he could see fireworks blooming in his brain one by one.

Male protagonist?

"Of course. Of course. Director, no problem, I'll start now, I'll start right away."

"The important thing is to keep. Once you can't hold on or get lazy, I'll be on the spot..."

"No! Absolutely not!" Before Lu Qian could say "threat", Zeng Yuanwen had already gritted his teeth to intercept, "Director, I promise there is no such possibility."

"Very well, you can contact the company through an agent. All trivial matters such as contracts, follow-up schedules, detailed scripts, etc. will be handled by special personnel."

Lu Qian's work efficiency was fast and resolute, and he ended the call in a few words, but after Zeng Yuanwen hung up the phone, his brain still stopped working.

what just happened?

Time seemed to stand still.

Zeng Yuanwen just felt a rush of pure happiness brewing and surging continuously, and finally he couldn't control it any longer, and it exploded in his chest like this.

boom!

A thunder sound could be heard in his ears, and in the next second, Zeng Yuanwen jumped up high and screamed in desperation.

"what!"

Male protagonist! He's finally a hero! The first chance for a leading actor in his career! And it's a new work by director Lu Qian! He finally got his chance!

He will take his chance. He will.

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Shouting and shouting, uncontrollable tears filled his eyes, but the smile still bloomed at the corners of his mouth, like a madman.

For Lu Qian, this is indeed not an easy decision, he must make a trade-off between Zeng Yuanwen's age and appearance shortcomings and Zeng Yuanwen's performance quality strengths.

Although the follow-up audition also encountered many actors who were more suitable in age and shape, Lu Qian was always impressed by Zeng Yuanwen's emotional handling. After repeated consideration, Lu Qian still made a choice.

Of course, risks exist objectively.

However, Lu Qian's character is not to look ahead and worry about gains and losses. Since he has made a decision after careful consideration, he can go all out. There is no need to hold back because of the existence of risks.

After the cast was finalized one after another, Lu Qian and Ji Xu got busy again——

As with "The Raid," they needed to find a suitable filming location for the "tourists."

The critical avalanche part in the movie requires computer post-production, and it is obviously impossible for the crew to create a real avalanche; but for other parts, Lu Qian insists on field shooting, and this is very important for the "tourists". The importance of the film is more prominent than the previous two films.

Now that the film industry is highly mature, in fact, everything can be filmed in the studio, the crew can build fake sets, and computer special effects can satisfy all the fantasies in the director's mind, so that more and more commercial blockbusters are all in the whole process. Filming was completed in the studio.

Because of this, the interference of the onlookers can be avoided, the influence of the weather and the environment can be avoided, and all the actors can commute to get off work on time from 9 to 5, avoiding the actors' complaints, being late and all kinds of difficulties, everything can be done in When Lanchuan is completed, it is like a vacation.

But there are still a small number of directors who are resisting this production method, and Lu Qian is in this ranks——

Vacation?

Please, this is a movie, not a vacation, nor should it be a vacation. Not only can the crew not put the actors in a comfortable environment in order to appease them, but on the contrary, depending on the content and color of the film, sometimes the actors must be placed in a comfortable environment. in a "painful" environment.

Imagine that the director is shooting a movie about an Amazon jungle adventure. The real Amazon jungle has countless insects and traps. The temperature is sultry, the air is humid, and the land is muddy. These "annoying" things all exist objectively.

If the filming is completed in the studio, the actors will not feel the things that these post-processing computer effects will produce, and then the actors' performances will not be able to show realism after all.

However, maybe it's really difficult to shoot in the Amazon jungle, but it may not be possible, but the same is true for films like "Tourists".

Shooting in a real snowy ski resort~www.novelmt.com~ The dazzling snow, the cold outside and the warmth inside, the elusive clouds, etc. These factors that exist objectively in nature are all part of the "picture" , but also part of the realism of the actor's performance.

Perhaps, the camera lens can't capture the goose bumps that surfaced on the surface of the arm because of the cold weather, but it can capture the details of the actor's uncontrollable shivering inadvertently——

These details are actually the "difficulties" that the actors don't like, but they are just an important supplement to the realism of the performance.

If the "Tourist" crew chooses to shoot in the studio, the computer effects can simulate all the situations as if they were real, but the weather in Lanchuan is like spring all the year round, but the actors cannot really feel the influence of the icy and snowy atmosphere, even if the temperature in the studio changes the temperature. Adjusting to minus zero doesn't help either—

Why in the real world, the higher the latitude and the closer to the Arctic Circle, the higher the depression rate; the closer to the equator, the more sunny the tropics, the more smiles?

The cumulative impact of the living environment can be seen.

These are absolutely impossible to show in the Lanchuan studio.

When more and more green screen movies are shot in the studio, the sense of reality and life brought by the movie will become less and less, which is also the result of the high industrialization and assembly line of the film industry.

Lu Qian didn't like this.

From "unfriend" to "raid" to "tourist", Lu Qian insisted on shooting on the spot, including "Quick Pursuit" and "Human Removal Plan" are no exception. Now the two crews are looking for suitable background for the story. Cities, different cultures and different charms of different cities can bring different colors to the story.

Naturally, the choice of shooting location is also very important.
