When I first saw this film on China HD Online, I didn't feel anything and I didn't download it to watch it. Later, I was forced by my friends to break up with each other. After watching it, I was stunned: "This Nima is too real!" But the problem with this film is that it may not be so friendly to people outside the industry, and many people outside the industry may not be so friendly after watching it. Know where the joke is. Let the people who move bricks from the crew chat for everyone.
1. A pathetic director
The director looks great outside the industry. In fact, they are the hardest to eat. After all, the crew has a joke: Who is the most useless person in a crew? director! The director looks beautiful, but there is a lot of bitter history behind it. Countless directors were kidnapped by capital, and Hu Bo even hanged himself. So outsiders think this director is good, isn't his character bad? But it should be noted that if a director makes a film quickly, the quality must not be high. But which director has no artistic pursuit? Not to mention cheap, a lot of this industry relies on blowing water to blow up their worth, plus the director has a job to make a lot of money, and he starves to death without a job. Who wants to keep doing cheap and low-level work all the time? You have been doing this kind of work all the time, and you won't be able to do it if you have a big job in the future.
2. A daughter who pursues uncompromising quality
The director's daughter also pursues the quality of her own films. I hope my actors can listen to their own words, but obviously this small crew is looking for an ordinary person who plays a friendly role in order to save money. As anyone in the industry knows, there are three major difficulties in photographing: animals, children and water. Water is difficult to deal with because of the refraction and reflection of light, and animals and children are difficult to communicate. The outspoken female director wanted the free actors to be obedient, and the mother was distressed and satirized by the female director. The director pulled all kinds of good words (after all, free ones are hard to find!). This is also common in the crew, and sometimes people who give money are in a variety of ways, saying that they will shoot at night; In the end, her father comforted her to be adaptable and not so arrogant. But it also leaves a foreshadowing for later contrasts.
Seeing this, the audience can basically judge the image of the character. But what happened after that took a big turn for everyone.
3. Confused script discussion
The script discussion meeting was originally well-intentioned, but in the current situation it has become a pit. This is what the screenwriters hate the most. A lot of people who are irrelevant and can't read the script make up their minds: the actor pretends to force the script to explain that it is a racial issue (actually it is a low-end funny variety show); the actress says that she Can cry and pay attention not to be sprayed with vomit in the face (recalling the speech of a certain Angel Daboa); photographer zombie who can't live without alcohol (drinking is generally prohibited during the filming of the crew. At least key positions and positions are not allowed to drink, The reason is that the crew can't work without one person); the recording engineer zombie with inexplicable habits (the crew is far and wide, everyone has quirks. There is an actress who is said to not go to the show without first going to bed with an actor) .
Makeup artist's cast status . Many people may have heard of the unspoken rules and high-ranking news in the entertainment industry. This is a half-truth, and there are countless girls in the crew who were sexually harassed. My college classmates relied on family connections to work as a producer assistant in a medium-sized production crew, and they were still harassed, so far they will no longer join the production crew. Later, she ran to be Xuanfa, and a table of people poured her wine, gritted her teeth and only drank drinks. Xuanfa basically relies on drinking and drinking. If you don't drink it, you don't give face. How can you arrange movies for you? I have also seen a crew who brought two flight attendants into the group when they were filming, and those two flight attendants were the brain-damaged fans of a certain male star. Came in as a DP assistant, chatting with various crew members during the day, and hehehe at night...
Overall, women are no different in the industry than prostitutes. Makeup artists and costumers belong to the state that is often slept. What's even more terrifying is that they don't charge, and are willing to play all kinds of "one-night stands" with all kinds of men (as long as you can flirt with her). The crew has been staying for a long time, and the whole person's three views will change...
Idol image. In fact, the word traffic now sounds like a curse, but it is actually a neutral word, and it even makes them better. To be precise, their title is - vase. My teacher said in class that when he was doing lighting in the crew a few years ago, he wanted to add an actor temporarily. Everyone was very upset. It was a tiring day and it was time to call it a day. But the people who are stuffed by the producers don't dare to lose face, so let's do it. During the shooting, the photographer said that the picture was a bit empty, so he put a vase next to the actress... The whole crew was secretly having fun.
For idols, they essentially rely on their faces to eat, and they will not do anything that damages their image. Therefore, actors will use various reasons to refuse external damage to their appearance and image, and brokerage companies and agents are often on their side. Even if it has a negative impact on the overall effect of the film, it will not hesitate to. (think Shanghai Fortress)
The photography team is a yang-bodied type of work . Because of the weight of the camera and the length of time required to shoot, the girls really couldn't do it. The director drove a car here: the male photographer said that it was too difficult to hold a camera for a long time for a person with a bad waist. So why is his waist bad? (Look at his clothes ha~)
In the years when the traffic was rampant, eye drops were simply a common item in the group. This is the acting skills of some Chinese (da) actors.
In general, the preparation before the shooting is roughly like this! Basically nothing but chaos. There is a saying in the industry: if the film is not successful, half of it is in the early stage. The more preparation time in the early stage, the smoother the mid-term shooting, and the later editing can keep up. Experienced producers often look at the production side's preliminary preparations and generally know that the film has a show or not.
4. The first day of shooting is often the first day of disaster
Rescuing is like putting out a fire. These words are not empty words. When the film decided to start shooting, the most feared thing was that the actors would have problems. From the problem of drug use and whoring of major actors, to the problem of derailment, and even the problem of inappropriate speech outside. It can make a film a complete failure.
When I was shooting a film in college, I told the heroine in advance when to shoot and where to go, and the script was also passed, but it was the day before the filming started. The hostess told me that her boyfriend ran from another city and she was going to quit! I remember that I was full of school at night to find someone to help me as the heroine. It is said that the whole school knew that I was missing a heroine that night...
Major producers also hate temporary substitutions very much. After all, the whole group is waiting for you, and the rental equipment is on time. There is only a fixed time for the venue that was negotiated before. Temporary substitution is basically equivalent to starting all over again. The same is true for the reason why the crew protects the artists in all aspects. The filming was still summer, and after I fell off my horse and rested, it turned into winter. Can't pick up this play?
The director is wicked! There's no need to go into too much detail, because it's already been explained very clearly in the play. It is worth mentioning that the director uses the name of acting to take revenge - improvisation . Improvisation is regarded as a classic by many fans, but it is actually the most hated behavior on the set. Awesome directors have a strong desire to control, you don’t need to play blindly; the staff will be overwhelmed by your improvisation, which part is this? Is it because I made a mistake and didn't connect? A good actor will be stunned: don't you call the card? This feeling can't go down!
The truth and the falsehood of live broadcasts. There are limits to live broadcasting, and one of the most basic is not to forget who you are - you are the person in the picture. The person in the painting is acting, and you have to mobilize all your real emotions to make the audience believe in you. Speaking directly to the camera, it will undoubtedly give the audience a sense of drama - this is too fake! He basically made all the mistakes he could, and only he dared, because he was the director. If it was someone else, he would have been scolded to death by the director in the headset!
Same as the previous one. The most ingenious arrangement here is that it looks like an ingenious picture, but it is actually the result of the photographer falling to the ground. This kind of situation can't happen in the live broadcast at all. A typical example is the anti-fascist military parade. The big waving left hand was photographed by the live broadcast team from an incorrect angle. At one time, the audience misunderstood that it was a left-handed salute, and even carefully analyzed the reason. The results of it?
Acting is actually paid off. Sometimes the director is most afraid of the actor's full commitment. Once the actor is fully committed, the rhythm and time will not be in the hands of the director. In the later stage, it is reluctant to cut it, and if it is not cut, it will affect the final film. Moreover, the actors often rob each other of the scene through their infatuation, so the director naturally can't make trouble for himself.
It is not uncommon for directors to be kidnapped by capital. What's strange is that I haven't seen a few directors who dare to persevere, especially such a down-and-out young director. Not to mention that the producer was right this time, the rocker arm was gone. But the reality is that the tools on the set are gone, and there will never be such a reasonable producer. When I was filming in Fujian before, I actually met the director's request in the middle of the night and cut down a tree on the sidewalk...
The movie is all over here. During the process of pulling, while laughing, he recalled the happiness when he went to college to make a film and the tears he shed in the industry after graduation. There were more than 40 people in the class at the time, and now less than 10 are still in the industry. I suddenly recalled a sentence that the counselor said when he graduated: "It's just like this, what else can you do? Who told you to love it?"
