Disaster Artist

Lu Qian was a little curious.

When filming "The Raid" and "Tourist", the crew also pulled up roadblocks to protect the shooting site, but the shooting site at that time was different after all-

Bundang was originally the filming base, while Yemane was an isolated resort, which meant that the filming site was largely protected.

The situation of the "Human Removal Plan" is different. The Windy City is a large and densely populated city. The crew must shoot directly on the street. Every time the street is closed, it is necessary to apply for a roadblock permit, and then cooperate with the transportation department and the public security department. , complete the work in a fixed time.

It is conceivable that the entire difficulty is different, not to mention the potential unexpected risks brought by the people who eat melons.

So, what was the scene like on the set?

Lu Qian stood in the crowd watching the filming. At this moment, the crew was filming a relatively quiet scene, and the actors' conversations needed to be picked up on the spot, so the staff repeatedly expressed their silence. In order to avoid interrupting the filming, Lu Qian was not in a hurry. Step forward, but watch quietly.

Then, Lu Qian discovered a detail——

Jiang Paifeng was not present.

What's the meaning?

It's not that Jiang Paifeng really disappeared or was lazy, but Jiang Paifeng's shooting method is to set all the "parameters" before shooting, from lighting to photography to sound and the final performance, etc., and then "start shooting." "After that, Jiang Paifeng will quietly wait for the operation of the crew to complete the shooting.

It's like solving a math problem. There is a formula in your mind. After inserting the formula, you can get the answer naturally. However, if you change a formula, or if there is a variable other than the formula, you don't know what to do. The only way to do this is to eliminate those variables and re-apply the formula.

In this way, the problem is particularly obvious. It is too rigid, does not know how to adapt, and loses the spark of artistic creation on the spot; moreover, if there is an error in a certain link, it refuses to re-judgment and adjust the formula according to the situation on the spot, and still sticks to the one that I am most familiar with step by step. That set of formula patterns.

No wonder!

No wonder Jiang Paifeng has always been a live director, and the quality remains stable, but there is no spark of inspiration for "artistic creation".

Also, it is precisely because of this that the filming progress of "Human Removal Project" was delayed, because the performances of several actors still lacked a moment.

At present, the four protagonists of the "Human Removal Project" play sons and daughters with familiar old faces, Zhang Zhen and Wang Zhi, who have worked together in "Unfriending".

These two actors were able to beat Yu Keke and Wu Xiaozhen to get the lead role. They should have impressed the audition director to stand out successfully during the audition. Judging from Lu Qian's judgment, they are indeed more suitable for these two roles. Casting is no problem, but both actors have their own habits.

Zhang Zhen is a little cautious, and every time he performs, he needs to look at other people's eyes, but the more he observes his words, the more Zhang Zhen's performance fluctuates. Need more affirmation and guidance to complete the shoot.

Wang Zhi is a little more urgent, she is always eager to express herself - her basic acting skills are indeed good, but if she exerts too much force, it is easy to appear greasy and exaggerated, and it is easy to steal the scene. If there is no director's control, she is very easy Just "played", she needs more control and adjustment.

However, Jiang Paifeng is just a director who is not good at regulation and flexibility, so he can only repeat the shooting over and over again, expecting the actors to complete self-regulation until they fit the "formula".

At the same time, photography, lighting, sound, etc. have not been able to spontaneously make adjustments according to the actors and the situation on the spot, so that Jiang Paifeng is always unable to shoot his ideal picture.

Therefore, Lu Qian had the judgment just now:

Jiang Paifeng was clearly on the scene but "absent", and he was not able to fully exert the power of the director's role, which is undoubtedly a pity.

However, Lu Qian did not rashly interfere with Jiang Paifeng's work. He does not think that he is better than Jiang Paifeng. Every director has his own style and color on the set, and no director wants his own set to appear different. A producer pretending to know what to do to force interference:

In this regard, Lu Qian himself, as a director, knows all too well that he needs to respect the way of work of another director.

However, the problem is that Lu Qian came to Windy City this time because the filming progress of Jiang Paifeng was seriously delayed, which may affect the follow-up development plan of the "Human Removal Plan", so Ji Xu hopes that Lu Qian can come to the crew to watch Depending on the situation, "help" Jiang Exhaust to get back on the right track.

So, what does he need to do?

"Card!"

The filming of a scene was over, Jiang Paifeng was very dissatisfied with the performance of the scene, with a face full of bitterness and hatred, as if he would cry in the next second, but he did not get angry with the actors and crew, He just waved his hand and let the crew rest for five minutes to adjust their state.

Lu Qian bypassed the roadblock, stopped at the entrance of the crew, looked around, looking for the security guards responsible for maintaining order, but did not rush into the crew.

result--

"Back off. Back off!"

Before Lu Qian could speak, a staff member strode over, waving a baton in his hand, like a peasant chasing ducks, and roared rudely.

"This is the studio, and people such as idlers can't enter."

A faint smile appeared in Lu Qian's eyes, but he was not angry. Instead, he asked enthusiastically, "Then who can enter the studio?"

"It won't be you anyway." The person in front of him frowned and looked up and down at Lu Qian:

The simple dress of white T-shirt and jeans, wearing a baseball cap, the shadow cast by the sun covers the upper part of the cheek, it is not real to see, you can only feel the youthful vigor and vitality through the slightly upward arc of the corner of the mouth .

Then, the other party waved the baton again, like a fly, "A cat and a dog also want to become a star~www.novelmt.com~ You think you are Lu Qian."

"..." Lu Qian looked down at his dress, his head was full of question marks, "Is there any problem with this dress?"

"Director Lu Qian wore it in Weihai. Now young people all over the street wear it like this. He thought that anyone could have the same temperament as the director, and drawing a tiger can't be an anti-type dog. It really makes people laugh out loud." , Haw crookedly complained, and the expression seemed to be pointing at the country.

Lu Qian looked down at himself again, why did he never know that this outfit could also become popular? Isn't it the most basic combination? Also, when did his name become so popular that a random crew was mentioning him? Is this some kind of prank?

Right at this moment-

"director!"

A voice sounded, and all the bustling eyes looked over, and then Zhang Zhen walked over with joy on his face, and everyone's eyes re-gathered along Zhang Zhen's.

"Director, why are you here!"
