Chapter 429 New Assistant Director (Monthly Ticket Plus 12/37)
The assistant director, Ning Hao, said he would come in three to five days, but actually one came the next day.
"Rao Xiaozhi, he's level 99 like me, but he's an actor. Recently..." Ning Hao looked at the person introduced to him, "Don't stay silent."
"I've been doing drama lately... I've been a screenwriter and an actor, and I'm thinking about directing a small show." Rao Xiaozhi doesn't talk too much.
Mainly relying on Ning Hao to introduce him.
"A drama..." Hao Yun immediately became interested, shook hands with the other party, and asked, "What drama are you doing?"
He has always wanted to go to the drama stage to experience it, but he couldn't spare the time.
Recently I was filming in the capital, and suddenly I had a lot more time.
This movie has a dark tone, with some indoor scenes and some night scenes. It was impossible to shoot when the light was too strong.
Anyway, the filming can be completed in two months, so Hao Yun is very leisurely.
I heard that someone could play drama, so I thought I could give it a try.
Others want to rub against him, but there is a high probability that they will be rubbed against him.
"Adapted from "My Surname" by Luigi Pirandello. Pirandello is from Italy..."
"I know, "Henry IV", winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1934. When will your play be ready? If you have a chance, go and watch it. Please sit down, please sit down!"
I just collected more than a hundred attribute points from the other party.
It's not that Rao Xiaozhi is bad, but that Hao Yun's director skills have improved by leaps and bounds in recent times, and he is no longer the Wu Xia Amon he was at the beginning.
What's more, Rao Xiaozhi hasn't even started yet, but he can get Hao Yun to more than 100 points, which is enough to show that he didn't fool around in school, and there will definitely be a huge improvement when he starts to practice in the future.
"It won't be until the second half of the year. If you are interested in dialogue drama, I can take you to see the rehearsal process next time." Rao Xiaozhi was soon able to chat smoothly with Hao Yun.
Because we all have a common language.
There was a feeling that it was too late to meet each other, and the more we chatted, the more speculative we became.
"Your accent sounds familiar to me. Where are you from?" Hao Yun suddenly asked.
"I grew up in Xiangshui Village in the Zunyi Mountains and went to school in Tongzi County. The place where you filmed "Looking for a Gun" is not too far away from us, but the dialect over there is more complicated. There is actually a big difference between the two dialects. ." Rao Xiaozhi came for the "interview" today and naturally knew Hao Yun's resume well.
Hao Yun started out as a group performer in Hengdian, starting from the smallest role and gradually getting into small roles.
When filming "Looking for a Gun", I met Jiang Wen and was taken seriously by Jiang Wen as his disciple.
While acting, I passed the Nortel exam with high scores.
Then he suddenly announced that he wanted to be a director, and just when everyone thought he was joking, he made a high-quality film like "The Labyrinth of the Heart."
Others thought Jiang Wen took the photo for him.
But Rao Xiaozhi didn't think so. He also liked Jiang Wen very much and knew how arrogant Jiang Wen was.
If Hao Yun needed help from others to make his debut film, there was no way Jiang Wen would favor him.
"I see, that time was really unforgettable, but it's a pity..."
It's a pity that things have changed, and the crying Lu Yuan back then has gradually drifted away and become silent, while he, Hao Batian, has become famous.
"Should we start filming right away, or wait?" Ning Hao interrupted them.
Although "Blast Drummer" has a small crew, there are still dozens of people, so it's impossible for everyone to be there waiting for the director to finish chatting.
"Shoot, Brother Zhi, you can start working today, and you'll be paid ten thousand yuan for two months." Hao Yun decided to keep the person. With more than one hundred points of director attributes, what else could he choose?
"Okay! Director, just call me Xiaozhi." Rao Xiaozhi didn't expect the salary to be so high.
He works in the drama circle, and he only pays one or two hundred yuan for a performance, and the key is that he doesn't perform every day.
"Explosive Drummer" filmed the training of "Houhai Band" today.
The so-called Houhai Band is the ordinary band that the male protagonist was in at the beginning.
I chose a classroom with a relatively open space and plenty of light.
This scene is mainly to compare with the "Expedition Band" of Teacher Cao Yuanzheng later.
"Okay, get ready and start right away. I believe everyone knows what to do. The band in the movie can be replaced at any time, and our movie is no exception. When I selected the actors, I chose actors with a major in acting. For all of you here, if you can’t perform well, there are a lot of talented students from music schools who can take your place..."
What Hao Yun said in this paragraph is quite damaging, and he used a bit of provocation.
But the effect is very good.
Young actors with a professional background are in a difficult situation. They are unwilling to take on the kind of faceless bit parts. They feel that their work is useless, and they can't get supporting roles with roles, so they can only live in high-level and low-level roles.
Although the roles given to Hao Yun by the crew are not many, at least they are all able to show their faces.
It will also be a very shining thing to fill in your resume when you run a team in the future.
Everyone was making preparations for the performance, adjusting instruments and so on, and even arranged for a couple to hug and kiss.
This band is lazy enough.
The camera language is very rich. When Shen Yun looked at the couple, he felt envious in his heart, which drove him to confess to the heroine.
In addition, Hao Yun also wanted to express his status in the band in this scene.
He uses a simple detail to express the language of the lens.
When arranging for one person to greet another person, Shen Yun, who was sitting between the two people, was ignored.
Shen Yun is ignored and even isolated.
Because of his obsession and hard work for music, he is out of tune with everyone else.
My classmates work too hard and affect my performance. What should I do?
Work hard?
Why should I work hard? I can just isolate him.
Of course, he has friends in the band.
This character is played by Huang Bo, who used to be a musician. Today, his look is very "rock".
His existence is mainly to highlight that the male protagonist can sacrifice everything for drumming in the end.
Give up love, give up friendship...
It is not easy to arrange so many things in one play.
Rao Xiaozhi doesn't know what to do.
No one comes to him to sign a contract or arrange work.
He can only stand there and observe the situation of the crew with a little embarrassment.
Is that... Zhao Fei?
Rao Xiaozhi is from the directing department. He has seen a professional interview with Zhao Fei, but he is still a little unsure.
Hao Yun actually asked Zhao Fei to take the camera.
So... luxurious.
What Ning Hao said was indeed true. Although Hao Yun is young, he can really do anything with Jiang Wen's influence.
"Xiaozhi, take a look at the storyboard first, and I'll arrange something for you later." Ning Hao threw Hao Yun's storyboard manuscript to him, asking him to learn about the movie first.
After flipping through a few pages, Rao Xiaozhi suddenly felt something was wrong.
Fog, such a detailed, vivid and artistic storyboard manuscript, with details that even the light and composition must be standard, turned out to be Hao Yun's.
No, it should be said that it was drawn by Jiang Wen's apprentice.
There is something wrong between you, the master and the apprentice.
However, Rao Xiaozhi soon stopped dwelling on this strange thing. He was attracted by the script and the story.
It can be seen that Hao Yun's script carries ambition.
This is a script that is rushing to win awards.
The preparations over there are almost done, and basically they have started to try shooting.
However, Hao Yun did not start, but called Rao Xiaozhi over, told him the lens language of this scene, and then asked Rao Xiaozhi to try it directly.
Damn, so casual.
I just got here, I haven't even finished reading the storyboard manuscript.
Although Rao Xiaozhi thought it was ridiculous, he had to live up to his monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, so he had to bite the bullet and go for it.
Hao Yun acted in the camera, and Ning Hao stood next to Zhao Fei to learn.
Ning Hao is also from the Photography Department of Beijing Film Academy, Zhao Fei is his direct senior, and meeting Zhao Fei is his biggest gain as an assistant director.
"Pass!" Rao Xiaozhi finished the last shot with a guilty conscience.
"Everyone take a break, Brother Hao, come and take a look." Hao Yun pulled Ning Hao and Rao Xiaozhi to study the scene they had just shot behind the monitor.
There were more than a dozen shots, and three of them needed to be re-shot.
Of course, to put it another way, more than a dozen shots, most of which could meet the director's requirements, Rao Xiaozhi was still very impressive.
Hao Yun explained to Rao Xiaozhi and re-shot these shots.
Some film was wasted.
But it's not a big problem.
Hao Yun is very good at storyboard drawing, and he strictly follows the storyboard when shooting. His film usage is completely different from his master.
He saves a lot of film when shooting movies.
Unlike Jiang Wen, who used 480,000 feet of film when shooting "The Devils", the classic line in the film "Happy New Year, Brother and Sister-in-law" was said to have been shot more than 100 times by the foreign actor before it was passed.
For ordinary shots, Hao Yun can pass them in two or three times.
Even if it is a little difficult and not easy to find the feeling, he can solve the problem within ten times.
"I will hold a book signing event in the capital in two days. There will be some shots that you two will need to shoot. Listen to teacher Zhao Fei's opinions."
The reason why Hao Yun trained Rao Xiaozhi was that he hoped to be a hands-off boss occasionally.
This book signing event was still to promote "Those Years". Movie promotion is a very long process. Some film producers like road shows, which is painful. It is very likely that they will have to travel to dozens of cities in just one or two months.
Unlike in the past, this book signing event finally released a movie trailer.
