Disaster Artist

In a production crew, all links are variables, and only the perfect cooperation between departments can build the most ideal picture.

However, the performance part is relatively special——

In other links, all the layouts are completed in advance. If unexpected situations are excluded, everything will be advanced according to the layout; but the performance needs to be played on the spot. What is recorded is the most important.

Moreover, most of the other links are dealing with humans and machines, and even if there are variables, they are still within the controllable range; while performances are explained by people, there are too many uncertain factors in the opponent's play, and the more people, the more control ability. The harder it is, and when you add babies and animals, it's amazing.

This was further magnified in Jiang Paifeng's crew, and it was vividly displayed.

Jiang Paifeng’s layout in advance is very precise and meticulous, because after the camera starts running, his ability to adapt to changes is relatively weak, which also makes him spend more time and energy on the layout before shooting, ensuring that all the factors of the “formula” are Right, and then start shooting again.

However, the variable of performance is uncontrollable.

Fortunately, Jiang Paifeng mainly shoots commercial movies, of which the thrilling action type occupies a large proportion. These works generally do not have high requirements for performance, and more of them show the director's scene scheduling and rhythm control ability, so the influence has always been. controlled within the ideal range.

In the case of the "Human Removal Plan", on the one hand, Jiang Paifeng is very old, and his ability to adjust the overall situation and details is indeed weakened; on the other hand, the actors' performances play an important role in the film's narrative and theme deepening. The presentation of etc. requires strength.

Under the combined effect of two factors, the entire shooting progress has slowed down. Obviously, it is not only the scene that Lu Qian saw today. After a chain of links, it finally came to the current situation.

"You mean... acting?"

Jiang Paifeng quickly understood what Lu Qian meant, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, which was indeed not his strength.

Jiang Paifeng turned his head to look at the actors, looked at it carefully for a moment, but found that he had no clue, so he withdrew his gaze and looked at Lu Qian hesitantly.

Help?

He couldn't say it, not because of the age gap, but because of the director's pride——

Previously, he had put on such a high profile to tell Lu Qian not to interfere in his work, but now he invites Lu Qian to give advice? He couldn't do this kind of slap in the face.

"Director Jiang."

Lu Qian opened his mouth.

"What do you think of this? In fact, the balance of the performance of this scene has been slightly destroyed. The personalities between the characters have come out, but the transmission of power cannot match the lighting settings and camera movement."

"When the camera is aimed at Zhang Zhen, Wang Zhi's speaking movements can be restrained a little, and the volume and tone can be withdrawn at the same time, so that the camera can focus on Zhang Zhen, and Wang Zhi's performance can also become part of the character shaping."

"And when the focus is on Wang Zhi, Zhang Zhen's body language needs to be more confident and firm, and the entire emotional aura can slightly balance the light and shadow effects brought by the lighting, and the relationship between them will be more clear. ."

The simple words made Jiang Paifeng's eyes suddenly light up, and he regained his vitality - Gu

Lu Qian just watched one scene, and he could see Jiang Paifeng's deep meaning for the lighting and camera arrangement, including the composition of the entire medium shot and close shot. relationship, and show everyone's position of power through dialogue:

Who is active and who is passive, who is strong and who is weak... These details are very important to the characters' characters, and they are also important supplements to the subsequent narrative. Only in this way can the arc transformation of characters' characters be complete and clear.

Although Jiang Paifeng is not a genius full of inspiration, he is very clear about the production line work of the genre film industry. At the same time, he can do better than most live directors. These details are where Jiang Paifeng is powerful:

The arc of characters is an essential element in commercial films. A three-act film must see the changing trajectory of the protagonist, which can resonate with the audience; but at the same time, it should not be too verbose and cumbersome to avoid affecting the rhythm of the film.

The key point of Lu Qian's words is that, based on Jiang Paifeng's "formula", without changing the formula structure, he makes detailed adjustments to the actors' performances, regains the balance of the picture, and highlights the core.

Not only does it not destroy the idea of ​​​​the river exhaust, but it is also icing on the cake!

Jiang Paifeng was very surprised. The predicament of running around in the same place and hitting the wall felt a sense of pushing the clouds away. He became excited in an instant. He no longer cared about communicating with Lu Qian, so he turned to look at the crew, striding forward Step by step toward the actor's direction, immediately command.

Gurgling.

Gurgling.

The crew was busy; but inadvertently, their eyes were still projected towards Lu Qian——

From the start to the present, Jiang Paifeng has never adjusted his style. Even if the filming progress of the crew is seriously lagging behind, he still bears all the pressure and refuses to change; however, Lu Qian arrived on the crew in less than 20 minutes, which not only comforted him Jiang exhausted the wind, and also made adjustments?

Everyone can clearly feel that Jiang Paifeng's anxiety and irritability are disappearing, and he has regained his concentration and devoted himself to work.

Involuntarily, the sight that fell on Lu Qian was full of wonder and admiration, and he could feel the emotions surging in his chest without words.

Zhang Zhen and Wang Zhi both looked at Lu Qian.

In fact, ~www.novelmt.com~ Lu Qian was still standing behind the monitor and did not interfere with the work of the crew, but he only needed to stop there, and the memories of "unfriending" came back.

Zhang Zhen remembered that the director thought that his state of ups and downs was more obvious. In the final analysis, he was too worried about others and too few things that belonged to the core of his performance. "You should try to perform at your own pace." This is the director's original words, so , should he act more extroverted?

Wang Zhi's cheeks were slightly hot, and she avoided the director's gaze subconsciously. She knew that she was prone to overacting, but she couldn't control it, because young actors like them had to seize any opportunity to show themselves, even if it was a trick. Or the supporting roles also need to work harder, and over time they develop an exaggerated style, which is easy to be too public every time.

Thoughts are surging in my mind, although Jiang Paifeng is in command, Lu Qian's shadow can be felt everywhere, and changes are happening quietly.

Then, the fifth filming began - at least this scene was the fifth filming after Lu Qian arrived on the set.

However, quietly, the atmosphere of the crew was less tense and more focused. There was a subtle change that could not be said but was real.
