Chapter 1191 Shooting
With Jiang Tang's picky work attitude, the most difficult highlights of the male protagonist played by Tang Ci were finally finished. The entire crew felt relieved from top to bottom, and felt like they had passed a big hurdle.
So far, it has been nearly two months since the crew officially started filming, but the overall scenes have only been less than one-third, most of them are empty shots. The actor's acting scenes are mostly concentrated on Tang Ci's role as the male lead. Jiang Tang, the partner of the female lead, has not joined the group as an actor.
However, everything is always difficult to start. Jiang Tang never thought about making the movie quickly. She even took out a month to make the crew's running-in transition period. The running-in here is not just her first directing alone, but many other crew members also collaborated for the first time, just like a new car always had to go on the road to know the performance and defects, and the same is true for an excellent crew.
Jiang Tang is not a mature director who has been in the industry for many years, and she is not a garbage director who doesn’t care about quality and just finishes making money quickly. So she is determined to sharpen the knife before chopping wood. Although a lot of money and time are consumed in the process, the effect is very good at present.
In other words, Jiang Tang is the only investor behind the crew. Gao Yue, who should have been responsible for accounting management and cost control, is a person who has no bottom line to condone Jiang Tang. Even if Jiang Tang extends the shooting time to one year, she can nod without changing her face and say yes.
Fortunately, Jiang Tang would not really shoot for a year, otherwise the money he consumed was at least more than twice the expected one. Judging from the current progress, the film could be completed within five or six months.
Now that the hero's highlights have been filmed, it's time for Jiang Tang to come on stage. This is the first time she has officially stood behind the camera after joining the group. Not to mention, it feels quite strange, and it feels both familiar and unfamiliar.
Jiang Tang let the makeup artist adjust his final makeup for himself, and then looked at the assistant director sitting in the director's chair.
“How is the effect?”
The assistant director laughed and gestured to Jiang Tang with no problem.
This deputy director is also an old man from Aurora. When Gao Yue founded Aurora Entertainment, he signed a group of actors, singers and directors in the early stage, and this deputy director is one of them.
Of course, he is not a talented contestant like Qiu Han. He has been in the industry for more than ten years and is still an associate director. However, fortunately, he was born in a professional college and has solid basic skills in films. He may be mediocre as a director, but he is very suitable for the position of deputy director. After joining Aurora, he also followed several major drama crews and achieved remarkable results.
Gao Yue's expectations for this director are not limited to this. Although the deputy director himself always smiles, he is an unquestionable optimistic person with a good personality, and does not have much pursuit of career, and has no ambition to be a famous director, Gao Yue doesn't think so.
In her opinion, the good thing about this deputy director is that his personality is stable enough, and the bad is that his personality is too stable and he has no motivation. He is born with a lack of adventurous spirit, so it is difficult to step out of his comfort zone and try new areas.
So she decided to assign the deputy director to Jiang Tang. Firstly, because Jiang Tang's crew really needed a steady and steady assistant director to help her stabilize her inspiration, and secondly, she wanted to use Jiang Tang's style of acting to stimulate the deputy director.
Those directors with mature styles may be difficult for him to learn, but directors like Jiang Tang who have good talent but not solid enough can complement him, which is also a kind of mutual achievement.
Of course, the most important thing is because... Jiang Tang is the big boss of Aurora Entertainment! The immediate boss of this deputy director! There is no need to worry about someone who is slandering Jiang Tang!
In short, this deputy director is the candidate who is too suitable for him. Now he is sitting in the director's chair. He does not reliably disrupt Jiang Tang's ideas and shooting ideas because of his old age. But he is like Jiang Tang's third hand, he honestly directs according to her ideas.
By the way, I also experienced Jiang Tang’s changing inspirational ideas during this process. From this perspective, I have a new feeling. I have to say that Gao Yue’s method is still very effective.
Now, the scenes of the first meeting between the heroine played by Jiang Tang and the hero played by Tang Ci.
Tang Ci was still playing the hysterical madness in the second half of the male lead yesterday, and now she is going to return to the beginning of the role. It is quite difficult to regain the original and clean feeling, and it is easy to have a split personality if you are not careful.
But this is the job of the actor. After all, the script does not only stay in one scene, and the shooting schedule will not be carried out according to the script timeline. In order to control costs, the crew usually arranges the shooting schedule according to the venue.
To this end, actors should also prepare to enter and leave the show at any time. This is also a basic requirement for professional actors. Tang Ci, which is also a leader among professional actors, is a familiar way to do it.
Jiang Tang was standing face to face with him, waiting for the makeup artist to complete the final adjustments, while reviewing the camera movements and script lines in his brain.
Relying on her good memory, she would basically not carry the scripts casually except sitting and resting. Now she also recalls through accurate memory.
Tang Ci does not have as good talent as her, and is revisiting the lines with the script. Although he had already memorized his lines from beginning to end, he still regained the feelings again and again.
Jiang Tang took advantage of his leisure to take a casual glance and saw that Tang Ci's exclusive script was covered with colorful notes, and also wrote his thoughts in the blank spaces on the script's pages.
In this way, Jiang Tang is like a god of learning in the school. He has excellent talent and first-class thinking. He can get the first place after just reading the books at the end of the period.
Tang Ci is like a hard-working academic master. It takes a lot of time to preview and review, and work hard and study hard to finally stabilize his position.
Everyone wants to be the former, but there is actually not much difference between the two. Not all scientists can remember it through their eyes. Not all actors and actresses are born to act. More successful people should actually belong to the latter, and the two should also be considered to be the same destination.
Of course, whether it is a genius or an ordinary person, the word "work" is always the word "work". Just like Jiang Tang also has to spend time on desk work, Tang Ci only spends more or less time - none of them succeeds casually.
