As soon as the camera was turned on, Wang Yan immediately returned to his role as the young genius Director Wang.
He sat at the back and looked at the monitor screen, trying his best to observe the depth of field, composition, color, and other aesthetic elements. When he felt that something was wrong, he immediately shouted “Cut” and prepared to shoot another scene.
At this moment, three women and a man, four young people quietly squeezed to the front of the crowd of onlookers, standing five meters away from the director’s car.
Wang Yan knew nothing about this. He called Fu Yushi over and ordered her along with the assistant director and the cameraman.
“Shi Shi, next time, change your position slightly and go from here. When the car rushes over, you have to turn your head slightly, but you also have to restrain yourself and stop immediately.
I want you to show the small details of the tendons on your neck exploding and quickly calming down.
“You should think about how to act now. If you can’t, find someone to practice with you a little more.”
Then, he turned his head and instructed the photographer.
“Take a picture from the side and the back. Start to take a small part of her profile. Adjust the camera position slightly higher. You’ll have to think about it.
“Focus on her lower jaw and pay attention to the composition. You have to bring the road and the car over. Then, when the car rushes over, you have to take into account the details of Fu Yushi’s movements. After a flash, focus on it immediately… do you understand what I mean?”
Fu Yushi and the cameraman nodded respectively and spoke about understanding.
The cameraman, Zhang Dongliang, was the main cameraman of the Jinyiwei. He was experienced, but his personal style was not strong. He was good at fulfilling the director’s aesthetic intentions. An Xiaofang had specially invited him over to serve Wang Yan.
“You want to shoot the profile and jawbone. You want to use the beautiful composition to shock the audience’s eyes. I have to admit that Miss Fu’s profile is really amazing, especially her jawbone lines. It’s really beautiful!
“Such a close-up can immerse the audience in the appearance and then suddenly focus on the car rushing over. The atmosphere instantly turned from extremely relaxed to extremely tense. It can effectively stimulate the emotions…”
Fu Yushi added from her own point of view.
“The veins bulged slightly and then immediately retracted. The purpose was to remind the audience that the main character had already expected this, and was even waiting for this moment.”
“However, due to the short time and the large amount of information, this hint would not be considered effectively at that time. Only when it was reversed in the end would a portion of the more sensitive audience realize it.”
“It was more likely that even if the audience was reminded by the spoiler, they would still need to brush up and brush up a few times before they could discover the large amount of details hidden in the first half of the movie.”
“This would effectively increase the endurance of the movie, and it would also give the audience who understood the movie a feeling of sudden enlightenment.”
“The emotional release will be more enjoyable, and at the same time, the image of the female lead will be more full. She will be smart, powerful, and self-controlled. The details will give her enough persuasiveness.”
“Very good!”
Wang Yan clapped for the two of them, pressed down on the cap, and refined their overall thinking again.
This was the first time they were working together. Everything was meticulous and tiresome, so that everyone could understand their intentions correctly.
That’s what a good director should and must do.
“The Witch is essentially a story of a pig trying to eat a tiger. You have to use the frustration and depression of the early stages to build up the last bit of satisfaction.”
But the most important thing about being a pig is that you can’t be really stupid.
Once you’ve made yourself muddle along with the flow of the film, the reversals later on are unconvincing and without warning.
In this way, the audience is not happy.
The audience must always feel that something is wrong, and hope for change.
To convince the audience to accept the whole logic, you must film enough details, imprinted in the audience’s subconscious.
In the end, when the reversal, they will be enlightened, rather than inexplicably confused.
“Shi Shi, you have to have a sense of hierarchy in your performance and strength beneath the surface, especially in those few eye-catching scenes.
“And the camera has to pay attention to the symbolic meaning of the scene…”
A group of people surrounded Young Master Wang and nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
“Then that’s it. Get ready to start shooting!”
Director Wang clapped his hands and turned around to sit in front of the monitor.
Director Wang did not care about the specific positioning, scheduling, or even the level of performance. Wang Muye was responsible for it.
As an amateur director, Wang Yan was only responsible for proposing goals and then communicating with the people below.
Wang Muye and the cameraman, the set manager, the lighting, and the actors were assigned tasks for a while before they began to officially prepare for filming.
Throughout the whole process, Wang Yan had been in a daze in the director’s chair.
Even so, no one dared to look down on him.
The crew was full of small talk. As long as Wang Yan was mentioned, everyone admired him.
Especially the cinematographer Zhang Dongliang, lighting effects director Zhou Zhixiong, and art director He Jianguang. These three industry veterans were the most convinced.
The more skilled one was, the more one could see the real story behind Wang Yan’s many adjustments.
“Hey, how do you think our director’s brain is growing? I’ve been lighting on the set for so many years, and I’ve served quite a number of great directors. I feel that no director is as talented as this!”
“Exactly! I also feel that it’s evil!”
“Right? This adjustment is too f*cking effective!”
“It’s like having a complete scene in your head and then using special effects software to fine-tune it 360 degrees. If something is wrong or not good enough, pull it back into your head and run it again… Simply awesome!”
“Good directors usually have a broad imagination, but I’ve never seen anyone who can take into account the grandeur of the action, the beauty of the composition, the rhythm of the story, and the details of the foundation at the same time!”
“Amazing! How can it be so easy to see?”
“Exactly! If you don’t give state preceptor Zhang a good screenwriter, brother Chen Kai a Gu Changwei, and Gu Changwei a reliable producer, will they still be able to make a movie?”
“You can’t say that. The finished product hasn’t been released yet…”
“Just look at the few movements that have been shot so far. The movie won’t be bad!”
“Right, the actions will definitely refresh the audience’s experience. Now, let’s see how the story goes…”
As they chatted on and on, they did not delay their work. One by one, they gave out orders, and the production team quickly started operating.
Outside the line of separation, among the few onlookers, He Miaomiao’s little friend looked at Wang Yan in surprise and admiration.
“Miaomiao, is that your classmate?”
Miss He raised her chin high and said in a light tone, “Yes! Why?”
“Wow! Isn’t he too stylish?”
The first to cry out in surprise was the only boy with her. He held his heart with both hands, and his eyes were filled with peach blossoms. His knees subconsciously tightened.
On the contrary, the two girls were not so infatuated with him.
One of them was not beautiful, but had a gentle temperament. He smiled and joked, “No wonder he could conquer our princess. He is indeed a natural leader who can control the situation. Among his peers, I have never seen anyone more powerful than him.”
One of them had short hair, and his comment hit the nail on the head. “He’s worth sleeping with.”
“Bah!”
Miss He raised her chin even higher. She looked very stubborn.
“Who wants to sleep with him!”
The little boy was excited. “Really? Miaomiao, don’t you want to?”
He Miaomiao glared at him, and a murderous aura seeped out from her body.
At this moment, Fu Yushi, who was waiting for the opportunity to move, inadvertently turned her head and saw He Miaomiao’s perfect face, which looked somewhat similar to hers.
She was startled when she realized this.
