villain king

Chapter 17
There are four directors in the Tianlong crew.

Ju Jueliang, Zhao Jian, Zhou Xiaowen and Yu Min.

The four cooperate with each other and each has a division of labor.

Ju Jueliang is Du Qifeng's younger brother. He is mainly responsible for some scenes of literary dramas, and he also works as a part-time screenwriter to do script revisions; Zhao Jian is the leader of martial arts scenes, mainly putting his wild ideas into practice; The achievements are all there, drink some tea every day, and feel more at ease than a god.

Except for the above three people, only the chief director and nanny of the entire crew - Yu Min.

Disregarding their personalities, these four are all excellent directors, each with their own style.Ji Yun was not idle even when there was no show, and followed behind them to learn the skills of holding a mirror.

After all, the end of an actor is a director.

At this time, he was squatting behind Yu Min, blatantly stealing his teacher.

Yu Min was the only one among the four directors who taught him seriously, and he couldn't let down the other's sincerity.

"The camera movement here should be softer. The martial arts drama chivalrous man should be crisp when he comes out, and the cutscenes should be clean. Beautiful women need tenderness, which can also be reflected by the speed of the camera movement. This kind of gentle advancement is more effective."

Yu Min is the director who shoots TV dramas with the most sense of cinematography.

Take the scene where Little Dragon Girl appeared in "The Legend of Condor Heroes" as an example.

The normal way for directors who shoot TV dramas to deal with this part is to lay the groundwork first, highlighting the strength of Quanzhen Sect, and then the camera reverses Xiaolongnv's appearance, allowing the two parties to enter the picture at the same time, tearing the picture apart by means of high-low contrast, etc. Form a strong contrast and set off a tense atmosphere.

And Yu Min insisted on adding a touch of beauty to this tense plot, mother-in-law is going to die?Yang Guo is going to be arrested?Nothing is critical, all the scenes give way to the heroine, moonlight, ribbons, gloves, and then a series of embarrassing faces, highlighting the beauty of the little dragon girl, the camera is slowed down, accompanied by BGM, a proper movie appearance.

If it weren't for Huayi's Feng Dapao, Yu Min would definitely develop into movies.

Yu Min was imparting experience while taking the camera, and the entire crew was running in an orderly manner without any hindrance.Seeing the other party's comfortable appearance, Ji Yun yearned for this chair more and more.

Yu Min is very good at telling stories, but from Ji Yun's point of view, his directing skills still need to be improved.

After all, TV shows generally make money from the length of episodes.In exchange for benefits, they will try their best to make the content more detailed in order to complete more episodes.

However, too many TV shots will make the whole show extremely trivial.

After studying behind Yu Min for a long time, Ji Yun turned his mind to Zhou Xiaowen, the only true god of the crew.

The scenes of the Tianlong crew were filmed simultaneously.

The four major directors divided a piece of land separately, and finally cut the film together.

When he arrived at Zhou Xiaowen's place, he really saw a movie-level shot.

Clean and neat!
There is not a single extra lens in the whole picture, and Hu Jun and A Zhu are fighting against each other in the picture, pushing the tenderness of the picture to the peak.

Ji Yun took out the notebook he carried with him, and recorded the transitions and inflection points of each shot stroke by stroke.

He made a plan for himself.

Established a firm foothold before 08 and became well-known. 10 years ago, he jumped to the front line and embraced the great changes in the industry brought about by 10 years. After 10 years, he began to win awards.

However, the most difficult thing is the transition from 08 to 10. Without a starring movie, it is difficult to set foot on the top.

10 years ago, there was no large-scale capital settlement, and the entire Chinese-speaking circle was very divided. The Beijing circle and the Northwest circle, which are the main movies, the Shanghai circle, which is the main TV series, and the Northeast circle, can’t use their own actors. How can they dig Ji Yun? this outsider.

They like to find actors in their own circle, and the most they miss is the second male lead, and it is difficult to get a starring role.

If no one invites you, you can shoot it yourself. Ji Yun has excellent scripts in his mind, so he doesn't worry about not being famous.

In the Tianlong crew, if Yu Min is the most caring director, then Zhou Xiaowen is the most celestial director. Ji Yun came to study and had to serve tea and water part-time.

His casualness comes from his strength.

This person is also a fifth-generation director who has been buried. In fact, it is not appropriate to say that he is buried. He is relatively low-key. After making a commercial film with a good reputation and box office like the Crazy Trilogy, he still focuses on literary films.

Then shoot one and ban one.
Fifth-generation directors always have a sense of mission in their hearts. No matter how successful commercial films are, they still regard literary films as their ultimate destination. Let people think about it decades later.

After all, with the money, the only thing missing is the name.

In the end, everyone knew the result. "Song of Qin", which had been carefully prepared for 6 years, was banned, and he was also depressed for a long time.

To be honest, it's really overkill for a person of his level to make a TV series.

Before shooting, a few key points are stated concisely, and the rest is up to the actors themselves.Nested comfortably in the director's chair, just waiting to call it a day and go home.As long as he sits securely in the chair, the entire crew can run in an orderly manner.

It is extremely relaxing to be able to chat with Ji Yun while drinking tea.

Of course, Ji Yun's chatting is not to inherit his sense of mission, but to learn his shooting techniques.

There are not many opportunities to meet face-to-face with great directors like this, and Zhou Xiaowen does not cherish himself. Seeing that this younger generation is sincerely willing to learn, he patiently raised a few words.

He didn't go into the depths, he just answered every question.

"These days, the singers have sharpened their brains and want to get in the crew, and the actors like to release albums, and they all regard themselves as Zhang Guorong. I haven't figured out how much land I have, and I think about crossing the border every day. Is the world so easy to cross? Don’t be afraid of taking a big step.”

Although he reprimanded the chaos in the industry, his words also faintly reminded Ji Yun.

Don't think about filming, you can't do this job.

He has a good impression of Ji Yun, but only good, after all, the two of them don't have much intersection.In his mind, Ji Yun has great potential and is very suitable for those roles of beasts, but the position of director is beyond his reach.

"You're right." Ji Yun could only smile apologetically.

What else can I do, I can go up and slap him twice?

I have an apologetic smile on my face, but I secretly slander in my heart. When I remake those movies and win awards and box office, I will appoint you as the first one to call "Congratulations".

Zhou Xiaowen couldn't hear Ji Yun's heartfelt voice, so he thought he had listened.Nodding, showing a childish expression.

"The job of a director is to pay attention to a spirit. You can't do it without a sense of the lens, you can't do it without a sense of the picture, you can't do it without knowing the light, you can't do it without the composition, you can't do it without the color, you can't do it if you don't know the soundtrack, you can't do it if you don't know the editing. You have to be good at it. Let’s just say that a good actor is not necessarily a good director, but a good director is definitely a good actor.”

Ji Yun nodded, the old man's words were not rough.

Today's blockbuster directors all follow this path. Xiaogangpao has an actor-level acting skills, and Lao Mouzi even won three actor awards just after his debut as an actor.Even the director Xingye would act it out for everyone first and then let them do the same.

A capable director must have good acting skills. Even a director with little acting skills, watching the performances of all the actors and actresses under him every day, is much better than ordinary people.

With these directors as benchmarks, the directors and his party can be regarded as the clearest boundaries in the entertainment industry.

The current actors are relatively honest, and there is no such famous phrase as "360 lines make a director". Everyone still respects the industry of directors very much, and they all think that they cannot carry this great banner.

Even if an actor directed two plays, he would not dare to call himself a director.

At most, the title of a well-known director is secretly added to the introduction of the search engine
Ji Yun sighed, if he told Zhou Xiaowen in front of him that if even nine-rate writers in future generations could control the camera and sweep the market with a bad film, would he jump his feet angrily.
