Chapter 2 I want a role
Except for the slightly larger size, everything else is unremarkable.
"That's it?" Director Jiang shook his head in disappointment, "This material is just ordinary plastic, right? The military uniform I want must have copper buttons. The style and model are also wrong. At that time, the buttons on military uniforms were all 14mm.
You are obviously too big. Besides, the color is also..."
Director Jiang talked a lot, but his voice became quieter and quieter, and finally he stopped complaining and froze in place.
Because, he always felt that this button was weird.
It was so strange that it seemed like it was the feeling he had been looking for!
"No, no, there does seem to be something wrong with this button. Where is it?" Director Jiang picked up the button and looked at it carefully, frowning and lost in thought.
"It's the size." Lu Yang knew that Director Jiang couldn't figure out the answer for a while, otherwise his work would not have been released three years later in the previous life.
The next moment, Director Jiang slapped his thigh fiercely and jumped on the spot several times.
"I'm just saying! Oh my god, it's the size, it's the proportion! I've been stuck on this problem for so long. I, I...genius, you kid is definitely a genius!"
"Fuck your manager, boy, how about you do it with me? Join my props team and I will make you the team leader within a year. If you do well, I will make you my props director and deputy within three years.
director!"
Director Jiang's words were shocking. If people in the industry heard these words, it would definitely set off a wave of discussions to see what kind of amazing and talented people could be recruited by Director Jiang in this way.
Lu Yang pursed his lips and smiled.
Director Jiang's reaction was a bit unexpected, but it was reasonable.
After all, Director Jiang is such a person. He seems to be a big-hearted person, but he is actually very artistic at heart. Coupled with his sincere personality, it is not surprising that he has strict requirements for his works.
The problem with the military uniform troubled Director Jiang for three years in his previous life. This spirit of striving for excellence once shocked the industry. If he had not really produced a masterpiece that was both well-received and well-received, I don’t know how many people would have been criticized for this kind of behavior.
People criticize.
Now, Lu Yang has helped Director Jiang solve this "unsolvable" problem. The more people know Director Jiang, the more they know the weight of this answer.
It sounds mysterious, but it's actually quite simple.
Director Jiang is 1.83 meters tall. He wants to play a warlord during the Republic of China in his play, but he cannot find a military uniform that fits him well. In the eyes of a normal director, this problem is not a problem at all, but for Director Jiang,
That's a huge problem.
I originally thought that custom-made military uniforms could solve the problem, but after putting on the clothes, Director Jiang found that something was still wrong. As for what was wrong, he really couldn't tell for a while.
This answers the most troublesome sentence of Party A: "It doesn't feel right."
But now, Lu Yang let Director Jiang know what the problem was.
It felt like it was right all of a sudden.
During the Republic of China, including the Anti-Japanese War, due to the chaos of war and lack of food and clothing, normal people were generally thin and short. When the Neon Kingdom invaded and planted flowers, it was an ironclad fact that the average height of the army was less than 1.6 meters.
The gun and clothes remain unchanged. Before, the gun was held upright with the bayonet above the head.
Nowadays, people have become taller. If you stand up again, the bayonet will reach your temple at most. Even if it is the same scene, the taste will still change when it is filmed.
If you want to perfectly recreate that feeling, you either have to shrink the actors, or you have to scale things up.
The reason why Director Chiang's military uniforms feel wrong is that although the clothes are too big, the buttons, medals and other detailed decorations are still in the original sizes, so the proportions are naturally out of balance.
There is a big red flower on your chest, but it is a small red flower on my chest. They look the same, but they are actually different.
Two movies with the same theme but completely different tastes often differ in these details.
For professional painters, photographers, filmmakers and even film critics, who are proficient in picture composition or lens language, you may not be able to tell the reason at first glance, but you can often feel it.
Therefore, although what Lu Yang showed Director Jiang was just an enlarged button, it awakened Director Jiang.
After returning, Director Jiang not only had to make changes in their clothing, but also the guns, riding tools, etc. of their tall men, all had to be enlarged accordingly.
For a film that strives for excellence, these details make it unique and worthy of the word "carefully crafted". This is called craftsmanship.
"Very good, thank you very much. Lu Yang, right? I just said that I feel like we are in love with you as soon as I see you. We are the same kind of people." Director Jiang sat down again and said with emotion, "Such details are not something that normal people can understand.
You can’t notice it, and most viewers can’t see it either. Many people advised me not to get into trouble.”
"But I know that there must be people like me in this world, and there must be people who understand me. Meeting you today means that my idea is right. The movie I made, Jiang, is just for you.
The audience sees it!”
These heartfelt words are obvious at first sight.
It can also be seen from this that Director Jiang was under considerable pressure as he kept pressuring the crew not to start filming.
"By the way, how about I give you a week to resign and then come over here to report? Once I solve this problem, we can start the production next month!" Director Jiang was quite excited and wished he could immediately notify the people in the props team to start again.
Prepare and then turn on immediately.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yang still shook his head.
Director Jiang was startled.
Lu Yang, he refused?
Rejected his dignified Director Jiang?
Is this... a case of playing hard to get? To exaggerate one's own worth?
If this is the case, then Director Jiang will be disappointed with Lu Yang's character.
"Thank you, Director Jiang, but as I said at the beginning, I am an agent. I am here just to give my artists a chance," Lu Yang said.
Director Jiang found it difficult to accept this answer, but compared to the worst case scenario, this is not bad, right?
Lu Yang's persistence won the favor of Director Jiang who was equally persistent.
"I don't care, anyway, the door of my crew is open to you at any time." Director Jiang is in a high position and knows how to express his emotions, but he cannot chill other people's hearts.
Some promises that were dispensable to him might be very important to Lu Yang, a newcomer, so he said: "Of course, that was an invitation from a friend. And now, it is a reward for the reminder you just made.
What role do you want, tell me."
"Heroine." Lu Yang's face didn't change and his heart didn't beat.
Forehead……
Director Jiang's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When he said something, his mood exploded.
Shouldn't I have installed that bold pen just now?
It's embarrassing now.
Do you want the leading actor? Can I, Director Jiang, give you my role?
joke!
Do you really think that the director can decide all the characters in a play?
As for the heroine, there have been several candidates already. Which one is not a winner? Don't decide on a new heroine, even if there is a new audition candidate, it will cause an uproar.
In the entertainment industry, not just anyone can be a heroine.
What he is filming is not a low-cost idol drama, so how could he just randomly find a new actor?
Director Jiang, who even strives for perfection in props, has no reason to be careless about the character.
"Um, who is your artist?" Director Jiang asked more, thinking that if he had heard of the other person's name, he would just give him a symbolic role with lines.
As for the favor of the button, I will pay it back later.
Business is business, and people's feelings are people's feelings. If you can't distinguish this, problems will eventually arise.
"Lin Menglan." Lu Yang spit out three words.
This time, Director Jiang's expression turned even more ugly.
Chapter completed!
