After the director system reaches the full level [Entertainment]
In the lecture hall where Chapter 1 was held, Ms. Shi Qin found that the situation was still wrong.
In addition to the good form, only two other actors barely entered the second round of auditions.When they were notified to enter the second round of auditions, Shi Qi did not appear in person.
The results of the casting audition for the leading role were not satisfactory, but a few supporting roles were decided on the spot.
Because the drama "Suspect" is a leading male drama with an absolute protagonist, the supporting role is only a supporting role in a unit (world), not even a supporting role throughout the whole drama.So this time, in the selection of supporting roles, Shi Qi's requirements are not high, as long as he can act and his image fits, it doesn't matter if the actor is famous or not.
His director's signature is indeed very resounding, he can cast well-known stars in small supporting roles, unless it is a friendship, otherwise he can't afford it.
Of course, if he spreads the word that he needs to play in friendship, there will definitely be many stars who want to make friends with him, but he doesn't want to take on the role of "so-and-so and Shi Shen are friends" just because of a small supporting role. friendship.It would be better to save some trouble and find an actor who is not well-known to act.
Of course, Shi Qi personally came forward when deciding on the actors for the supporting role.Even though the actors came to the "Suspect" crew for interviews at first with the mentality of 'find a job regardless of whether it's good or bad', when the interview was successful and Shi Qi came out to discuss the contract with them, they all agreed excitedly.
Twelve worlds, twelve main supporting roles, three were confirmed in the audition on this day, which can be regarded as a little gain.
When the work was finally finished, Shi Qi thought it was necessary to show off a little bit?Otherwise, it would take him a lot of time to select actors.
Although some movies have been suspended for several years or even ten years in order to find a suitable actor to star in.But Shi Qi, who has system tasks in his body, has to pursue high efficiency when planning and filming movies, otherwise he will be punished in various ways for failing to complete the tasks.
Although there are no reminders and constraints of tasks and punishments, he has also developed efficient work habits.In terms of selecting actors, Shi Qi does not choose the best, but only the most suitable one. If he cannot cooperate with the 'most suitable', he can also fall back and choose the 'appropriate'.
In fact, there has been a saying in the industry: Compared with Shi Qi's vision for selecting actors, his ability to train/teach actors is infinitely stronger.Shi Qi will be questioned about his vision of choosing actors, but in fact it is just a helpless compromise when time does not allow it.
Of course, in the end, it was still useless to use Shi Qi to reveal the news, and many actors came here.
The most difficult thing in the world to defend is news.Three actors who entered the second round of auditions and three successful auditions for supporting roles have met Shi Qi. Although they want to keep the news in case others find out and go to the audition and squeeze themselves out, the actors also have a few actor friends in the industry. , Thinking that if I succeeded in the audition, I would ask my friends to try it.
The friend had other friends, so it didn't take long for the secret news that Shi Qi directed the TV series to spread among the "circle of unknown actors" in the entertainment circle.Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. The circle of unknown actors is full of young actors who have no such person, so this news has not spread into the "famous actor circle" and "star circle".
After interviewing for a day, I got three leading actors and three supporting actors who entered the second round of auditions. Shi Qi felt that labor and harvest were not equal.
After Huotu Entertainment and Beavis received a sudden increase in audition requests, Shi Qi temporarily arranged to continue the audition at the old place the next day.
The quality of the actors who came to audition on the second day was obviously better, and the harvest was more than the previous day.When the work was over, six more supporting role candidates were finalized, as well as two protagonist candidates who entered the second round of auditions.
On the third day, according to work arrangements, Shi Qi stopped auditioning for new actors, and began to re-examine the lead candidates for the second round of auditions at ten o'clock in the morning.
The drama "Suspect" is a drama to be supported by the male lead.Shi Qi paid special attention to the selection of the male lead. After calculating the time required for each actor's audition, he chose to make an appointment with the actors who came to the second round of audition. The first one was at ten o'clock in the morning and the second was at eleven o'clock in the morning. One audition every hour from two o'clock in the afternoon.
But when Shi Qi arrived at the book cafe, there were already five actors waiting inside, that is to say, all the actors who needed the second round of auditions today were all present.
It seems that there is a clear difference between Eastern and Western actors in terms of how much they care about auditions and getting ready for the scene early.
Accompanied by Bivis, Shi Qi walked into the book café and nodded to the five people waiting in the lobby on the first floor, "Good morning, everyone."
When Shi Qi entered the door, the five actors had already stood up at the same time. Facing Shi Qi's greetings at this time, they all bowed and said hello in unison, "Good morning, Director Shi!" "Hello, Director Shi!"...
Shi Qi nodded and smiled back, then walked towards the second floor non-stop, without any obvious difference to any of the auditionees.
When the two arrived at the audition on the second floor, personnel from Huotu Entertainment and Gensler Entertainment also came.
The interviewers of Huotu Entertainment were still the two producers from the previous two days. Of course, they were the executive producers of the "Suspect" crew.In addition to a production assistant who was also present two days ago, Gensler Entertainment also replaced an assistant director. This is a member of Shi Qi's team and a director he is used to working with.
As soon as Shi Qi entered the door and saw the assistant director, he stretched out his arms and walked forward, giving him a firm hug! "Daji! I miss you so much! As long as you come, I will be relieved!"
Although he is about the same age as Shi Qi, but with a bushy beard, "Daji" replied in substandard Mandarin: "Qiqi~I want to die too! You are the director, how can I be the assistant director?" Not present!"
Shi Qi patted Daji on the shoulder vigorously, "Thank you, Daji. I chose to make a TV series this time, thank you for being willing to help me."
"Qiqi, dear, no matter what you shoot, as long as you need me, I will always be your assistant director."
If Bivis is Shi Qi's indispensable helper in his work and life, then the assistant director Daji is his crucial partner in filming.
The two of them are classmates of the same age. When Shi Qi was planning to make his first film, Daji was his assistant director.After that, in each of Shi Qi's works, Daji's name was included in the list of assistant directors.
But the outside world will only notice the director of a movie, and the presence of the assistant director is too weak.
Shi Qi has the help of the future system that integrates the professional skills of directors into Dacheng. He has taught Daji a lot in terms of professionalism, and he can almost be regarded as his teacher.But after Daji also directed several good movies, the outside media began to pay attention to and provoke the relationship between the two, and even said that Shi Qi had been suppressing Daji.
What is commendable is that Daji doesn't care about the opinions of the unexpected world at all, and his friendship with Shi Qi is still unbreakable.
The two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, finished talking about the past and sat down in the interviewer's seat one after another.
"Bevis, you can call the first auditioner to come up."
Shi Qi clicked on the personal video clip that Zheng Shi sent on the night of the interview, and handed it to the assistant director Daji beside him, "Take a look, Daji, regardless of acting skills, I value Zheng Shi more among the five."
After watching the more than four-minute-long video, Daji said, "I have some acting skills, but there is still a long way to go. But in terms of the acting skills needed for this drama, after you have been trained/taught by chess and chess, you should be able to do it." Meet the requirements."
"In fact, a bigger challenge for this show than acting skills is whether the actors can control the changeable appearance and identity. This kind of appearance and identity switching does not mean that you can switch successfully if you want to switch. The abruptness and identity should also be natural." Shi Qi said. "This is something that no matter how good the acting skills are, it cannot be compensated for. It is determined by the innate appearance conditions."
Daji has read the script and storyboard script sent to him by Shi Qi before, and he understands that there are two points to support this drama: one is the tense and brain-burning process of solving the case and clearing the suspicion from the perspective of the suspect, The second is that the protagonist can perfectly control the twelve occupations and identities corresponding to the twelve worlds.
"Whether the protagonist can control the changeable appearance and identity will affect the success or failure of this drama."
"Yes, you see, this is the video I collected for each actor's appearance, not only the appearance of the roles they have played in the past, but also their images in magazines, events, and everyday clothes." General Shi Qi Last night, the targeted video of the five second-round audition actors searched by Pudding was handed over to Daji.
Daji took over the vivo official custom-made exclusive mobile phone for the spokesperson Shi Qi, and what was playing was the first personal video of Zheng Shi who was about to audition for the second round.
This video is much more complete than what I found from the fan support club on the day of the audition. With Pudding, the 'king of the Internet world', as long as there are Zhengshi videos that have appeared on the Internet, Pudding will dig them out and grab them. Taken and clipped.
Gentle and elegant and mischievous and rebellious, abstinent and cruel and sunny, numb and indifferent and melancholy and passionate... Various appearances and temperaments are completely natural.If you glance at them casually and don't look closely, you can't even tell that it's the same person.
After watching the first video, Daji nodded: "Qiqi, your vision has always been very precise. This actor seems to be able to control various appearances and identities."
Shi Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, "The outside world said that I have a bad eye for actors. There are so many good actors out there that I don't use, but I choose some immature actors."
After cooperating with Shi Qi for so many years, how could Daji not understand the inside story of the selection of actors, but he also said in a joking tone: "Haha, it's because their vision is not big enough, Qiqi, you are creating for the world. Train more excellent actors!"
"Haha, when you say that, Daji, I feel that my image has instantly become stalwart!" My family knows my own family affairs, and his chess play is not as noble, far-sighted, and concerned about the country and the people as the outside world praises...
His first few decades were just a struggle for survival.
While the two were talking and laughing while discussing the videos of the five candidate actors, Zheng Shi, the first auditioner, walked in.
Chapter 36
Shi Qi looked at Zheng Shi with a gentle smile, "Zheng Shi?"
Zheng Shi bowed deeply, straightened up and answered with a trembling voice, "Yes, Director Shi, hello everyone. I am actor Zheng Shi, 30 years old this year, 180 cm tall, graduated from..."
Shi Qi smiled and raised his hand, interrupting Zheng Shi's too formal self-introduction, "Haha, don't be nervous, we already know your basic information, and even what we know about your actor experience may be more than what you remember More."
"After the audition, I will send you a copy. You can watch it for yourself or give a copy to your fans, so that they can give full play to their ghost...excellent creative talents." Shi Qi couldn't help but want to laugh because of the ghost animal video.
Zheng Shi, who was stopped and ridiculed again, clasped his hands tightly in front of him, unconsciously pinching his fingers to relieve his tension. "Ha, yes, ah no, thank you Director Shi..."
Daji, who saw Zheng Shi for the first time, raised his eyebrows suspiciously. Obviously, he didn't expect that the person with changing temperament and appearance in the video would be so...cute and cute in reality.
"Givemeaturn-away □□ile."
Zheng Shi was stunned, and then realized that this was the start of the interview.
turn-away □□ile?shy smile?
Zheng Shi brewed his emotions for a while, and then naturally smiled to the other side.
Shy smile, this action is relatively feminine, many actresses will choose this 'shy smile' in public.Relatively speaking, male actors will use less.
But Zheng Shi's smile doesn't look feminine, it's a little mischievous, a little cute, and full of youthful vigor, it's a very charming smile.
Dudge: "The closed-lip□□ile."
Zheng style: closed-lip□□ile?Close your mouth and smile?A hidden smile?
Dudge: "Thelopsided □□ile."
Zheng Shi: lopsided□□ile smile with slanted corners of mouth?Evil charm, sarcasm, ridicule... A smile with mixed feelings?
Daji: "Theforced□□ile." Forced to smile.
Daji: "Thesneer." Sneered.
……
When Da Ji tested Zheng Shi's various smile expressions in English, Shi Qi did not translate.
Although his team can understand some simple Chinese, the language they usually use at work is still English. If Zheng Shi decides to star in "Suspect", he will inevitably use English to communicate in his work in the future.
Now it seems that Zheng Shi's English is not bad, and he should be able to communicate in daily life.
After making Zheng Shi perform more than ten different smiles, Daji spread his hands and looked at Shi Qi: "Qiqi, I'm fine."
The reason why Daji tested Zheng Shi's different smiles is because the protagonist of "The Suspect" is a person who arms himself with a smile like Shi Qi. No matter how dangerous the situation is, he always wears a faint smile .
But the protagonist's smile is richer than Shi Qi's. The protagonist is an oriental person, and the smile also has an oriental implicit charm, but it is difficult to express the difference between each smile in this implicit.
However, it may be due to Zheng Shi's own personality, he is a reserved person from the inside out, and his smile is also very reserved, but it is easy for people to see the difference between each smile.
If it weren't for the four auditioning actors behind, Daji might have persuaded Shi Qi to directly cast him as the leading role.
Of course, Shi Qi also understands that there are two difficulties for the protagonist of "Suspect", one is the changeable appearance and identity, and the other is fair acting skills.And in this fair acting, being able to make all kinds of implicit and distinct smiles has met half of the acting requirements.
"From the twelve characters in the role analysis, let's choose a paragraph and interpret it."
The role analysis given to Zheng Shi and the actors who came to the second round of audition today is twelve different roles with different names, occupations, and personalities. Each role has several different fragments for the audition actors to choose. Choose a rendition.
After returning from Zheng Shi's first audition, he began to study the role analysis all night. If his manager, Sister Li, was afraid that he would be too tired to affect his performance today, and insisted on asking him to go to bed for four or five hours, maybe he would be able to play in one day and two nights. I have been studying character analysis without sleep.
With such serious preparation, he can be said to have tried his best to do the best he can.
Shi Qi, Da Ji and the producers and production assistants of the two parties sat and watched Zheng Shi perform twelve episodes in a row.
After Zheng Shi finished performing, Shi Qi nodded, "Zheng Shi, your image and acting skills are basically sufficient in the drama "Suspect". But..."
This "but" turning point made Zheng Shi, who hadn't completely calmed down after performing twelve episodes, hold his breath, suppressing the desire/desire to pant and cough.
Shi Qi looked at the actor who changed back to his cute self in a second, and resisted the urge to 'flirt/play', "However, there is a prerequisite for an actor to appear in the works I produced and directed...that It is to ensure that there is no problem with the past resume, in other words, it must not have done illegal or immoral things, and the professional ethics of actors must pass the test."
"Huh?" Zheng Shi didn't understand the meaning of Shi Qi's words yet.
"In order to ensure that the candidate actors can meet this requirement, we will conduct a background investigation after the audition and before signing the contract. Are there any examples of compromised professional ethics in the work system in the industry."
Under Zheng Shi's expression of surprise and ecstasy, Shi Qi continued to add: "For this back tune, we can sign a consent form for back tune, and we will ensure that the privacy of the actors will not be violated, and the content of the back tune will not be spread. Zheng Can you accept the form? If you accept it, if you pass the back pass, I will notify you to come and sign the contract."
"I accept! I accept." Zheng Shi excitedly agreed.
With only this last step of backtracking, he can be confirmed to star in the work directed by Shi Qi, and he has no reason not to agree.And although his actor resume along the way is unremarkable, he can guarantee that there will be no stains.
"Very good, that's it for today. You follow Bivis to sign a consent form for back-exiting. After three days at most, Bivis will get in touch with you no matter what the result is."
"Yes, thank you Director Shi today, thank you everyone." Zheng Shi bowed gratefully again before going out.
Zheng Shi's second round of auditions took more than 50 minutes without overtime.
After Shi Qi and the others rested for a few minutes, they called the second auditioner on time at eleven o'clock.
The second auditionee, Shi Qi and Da Ji, thought his performance was mediocre, so they eliminated him.
After auditioning for the second actor, it was already lunch time.Bivis, who can arrange work and life in a meticulous and thoughtful manner, has already ordered a sumptuous delivery meal.
After a few people had lunch together, they took a rest for a while.
As soon as two o'clock arrived, the interview with the third audition began.
It took an hour to audition one actor, and it was not until 05:30 in the afternoon that the audition of three actors was completed.
However, it is a pity that only one entered the final background tone.The other two failed to audition for the leading role, so they auditioned for two supporting roles, and finally decided on the spot to play supporting roles.In this way, the twelve main supporting roles are all short of one, and there is no rush. There are so many actors who only show a few faces and only speak a few lines to find, so just find another supporting role by the way.
Actors who play the leading role candidates need to recite the tune, so don't the actors who play the main supporting role not have to recite the tune?Not really.
There are puddings who can cross the Internet. In this Internet age, it is just a matter of order to investigate the past history and background of an actor.There are only a dozen main supporting roles, and Pudding can dig out their underpants in seconds.
Of course, the host, Shi Qi, would not allow Pudding to pick up other people's underpants. At most, he would dig deep to see if the actor had any bad deeds, so as not to be exposed in the future and affect his reputation.
Supporting roles need to be adjusted, but Shi Qi chooses to do it behind the scenes. After confirming that the actors have no major problems, Pudding will destroy the investigated data to ensure that the work and life of the actors will not be affected.
And the reason why the background of the protagonist candidates should be put on the bright side is just to warn the actors and urge them to keep their resumes clean in the future.
The rule that he will back tune the leading actors has actually been spread in the industry.Actors with obvious taints will voluntarily give up auditioning his works, and actors who want to appear in his works will pay attention to their own legal, moral and professional integrity after knowing it.
Although at first Shi Qi only backed up the protagonist actor to prevent the actor from affecting his reputation and thus increasing the difficulty of his task, but later on, it can be regarded as making some contributions to the healthy development of the entertainment industry.
It is also based on this that Shi Qi will still insist on back-tuning the protagonist actor after the task is completed.
And that night, Pudding finished the back tune of Zheng Shi and another actor Wang Jingpan.
Shi Qi looked at the results of the back tone after Pudding intelligently sorted out, and finally chose to use the Zheng style.
Wang Jingpan has no obvious illegal or immoral behavior, but several directors who have worked with him have vaguely mentioned him on social media, saying that he recites his lines in a perfunctory way when filming, and often "plays on himself" '.
Considering that the drama "Suspect" is a reasoning drama, the lines are required to be strict enough, Shi Qi feels that he has no time to correct his habit of "self-expression" in lines.
Bivis called Wang Jingpan the next morning and euphemistically explained the result that he was not selected as the leading role.Then I called Zheng Shi and informed him and his agent of the audition results, and finally made an appointment for them to negotiate a contract time and place.
Five days later, Beavis signed all co-stars.
At the beginning of the establishment of the group, Shi Qi's exclusive team was already in place, and Fu Huadao began to prepare. The scene survey and production also began to go out to select the scene, set up the scene in the studio, and the preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.
After selecting the actors, Shi Qi finally went to check the preparatory work for serving Huadao and other aspects. Except for a few more requirements he added, all the preparations met his ideas and requirements.
After all, it is an old team that has been used for more than ten years, and there is already a tacit understanding between the teams, which saves Shi Qi a lot of work and energy.He sighed more than once, fortunately he has a team he is used to in Gensler Entertainment!If he was asked to form a team again and run in with the team again, he would go bald just thinking about it, maybe he wouldn't want to make this TV series.
Everything is ready, just start shooting.
Chapter 37
Before starting the film, Shi Qi also sent Zheng Shi the complete script and a thick copy of the shot script.
After waiting for a few days, Shi Qi made an appointment with Zheng Shi and the author of the original work, Maoxiang Ribs, and the assistant director Daji. The thoughts expressed, the highlights of the play "Suspect" and the difficulties of performance... etc. All aspects of considerations have been communicated.
After the meeting of the main creators, Shi Qi randomly chose a day three days later, and silently and low-key started the machine.
It was really low-key. Not only was there no launch conference, but even the banners celebrating the launch were very small. After a while to film the highlights of the launch, the banners were removed again.
The drama "Suspect" is adapted from suspense reasoning fast travel web novels. There are a total of twelve worlds, that is, twelve case units.
The protagonist will travel to a suspect in a big case in every world—of course he is not the real murderer, he may travel through various stages before the crime, the scene of the crime, and after the arrest and arrest. What the protagonist needs to do is to fight for himself Overturn the case and clear the suspicion.
The original owners of each world before the protagonist travels, they each have different occupations, identity backgrounds, and behavioral habits... In order not to be spotted by the police/police and people around, this requires the protagonist to pretend to be the original owner.
And this also needs to be done by Zheng Shi. In a play, he not only has to play the leading role, but also plays twelve different roles instead of the leading role.
In order to make the appearance realistic, Zheng Shi needs to change twelve different hairstyles, makeup and clothing styles.
According to the length of Zheng Shi's current hair, Shi Qi decided to shoot the plot of the sixth small world first:
The protagonist soul wears a gentle and elegant university professor, looks around, and finds that he is standing next to a corpse that is still warm, and the place where he is is a perfect secret room space.I would like to ask: How does the protagonist find out the real culprit and clear himself of suspicion?
"Poter, give him makeup and styling, just follow the 6.1 hairstyle and makeup I gave you, and the final effect will be refined and refined."
Shi Qi beckoned to the makeup artist Potter, and then called the costume artist Annyer.
"Annyer, go and change Shishi into the 6.1 costume of Unit [-]."
"After doing the styling and taking a few stills, we started shooting."
In fact, the production cycle of a TV series or movie does not only refer to the shooting cycle, but also includes post-production.Even if it is not too strict, it also includes the cycle time of the preparatory stage.
Shi Qi set a production cycle of seven months for the drama "Suspect".The pre-production has already taken more than two months, he prepared to shoot for four months, and in the post-production, he will set aside another month while shooting as he goes.
It is equivalent to completing the plots of the three worlds every month, that is, completing one case unit in ten days.
Shi Qi has done the pre-production work extremely meticulously. He finished filming a case in ten days, and the post-production team roughly cut out the plot of four to five episodes, which he felt could be completed.
It may not be too easy to complete, but as long as the protagonist can keep up with the progress, there will be no major problems.
After Zheng Shi finished modeling, Shi Qi felt that it would be no problem to shoot a world in ten days.
With just one glance, Shi Qi could see that Zheng Shi had completed the role switch, from himself to a refined and refined university professor.
A successful role switch also means entering the scene, and the shooting after that will naturally be much smoother.
Facts have proved this to be the case.
Most directors choose the principle of "the first one at the startup" because it is simple and easy to shoot, so that "one pass" can be guaranteed, which is a good sign of a smooth start.
Shi Qi doesn't care about these, he doesn't deliberately choose simple scenes to shoot, but shoots whichever one should be shot.
Therefore, even though the first scene this time is the scene of 'the protagonist's soul wears through the university professor and is in the murder chamber', Shi Qi didn't deliberately avoid it.
"Action!"
The filming of the first scene of the TV series "Suspect" has started!
Zheng Shi discarded all kinds of distracting thoughts and closed his eyes...
When he opened his eyes again, he became the protagonist Wu Mei whose soul had already experienced five worlds. When he found that he had soul transmigrated again, his eyes showed slight disgust and impatience.
Then when accepting the memory of the original body, his micro-expression implicitly but clearly showed a state of enduring pain.
After that, when he saw the bloody, still warm corpse on the ground, he seemed to be physically unwell, and took a small step back. The distance of this small step was accurately grasped.
If you don't take this small step back, it will appear that the protagonist has become insensitive and has no reverence for life.If this step is taken too far, the protagonist will lose his composure and the contrast with ordinary people. This will not only destroy the personality of the protagonist, but also the personality of the university professor played by the protagonist.
There is not a single line, but it is not easy to be subtle but clear in this coherent expression and subtle body changes.
"Cut! Small style, well behaved."
Shi Qi came out from behind the monitor, walked to Zheng Shi's side, patted him on the shoulder and praised him.
"Thank you, Director Shi."
Zheng Shi is a slow-moving and non-verbal person, facing Shi Qi's compliment, he didn't know what else to say other than thank you.
"Where is Xiao Shi's assistant? Bring him a small fan." Shi Qi shouted towards the outside of the arena.
Now when the beginning of autumn in □□month, the weather is still very hot, Zheng Shi is still wearing a neat three-piece suit, and he will sweat in a short while.
A fat assistant brought a small hand-held fan.
After Zheng Shi took it, he blew on himself for a while, and found that Shi Qi on the opposite side was also sweaty, so he quietly turned the small fan over and blowed on Shi Qi.
Shi Qi felt a cool wind blowing towards him, and looked down to see Zheng Shi quietly blowing him, so he refused with a smile: "Blow it yourself, be careful if you get dizzy, I'll go back right away I went to a place with a small air conditioner."
Zheng Shi silently turned the small fan over and blew on himself.
It's really soft, cute, and obedient.
"Looking at your state, it should be that you have studied the script and the storyboard script well?" Zheng Shi's just-right performance and stance can only be achieved by thoroughly understanding the script and the storyboard script.
Otherwise, at the node of the sixth world, it is easy to over-act, and his position just now made the camera position very accurate.
"Yes, I have prepared well."
Shi Qi finally understood that Zheng Shi is an actor who only knows how to perform silently.He didn't even grasp the opportunity to ask for credit to show his hard work and flatter him to favor him just now, so he just stated the fact that he was prepared.
"It's good to be prepared." Shi Qi nodded in satisfaction.
"Keep it up in the future! I'm shooting this TV series as if it were twelve movies, and my requirements will naturally not be low. Moreover, my estimated shooting cycle is four months, which means that we will finish the film in ten days. To finish a case unit. Do you know what that means?"
Zheng Shi nodded solemnly and firmly, "I know, I will always maintain a good shooting condition, and try not to delay the shooting process!"
From the costumes, studio scenery, photographic equipment, etc., it can be clearly seen that this is indeed a world-class team led by Shi Qi.
Such a professional team is what he dreams of cooperating with, and as the protagonist of this drama, he must perform well and ensure that he does not hold back the crew.
"Very good." Shi Qi patted Zheng Shi's shoulder again, "You have to work hard, but you can't exhaust your body. The next three case units are all required to maintain your current body shape. You don't want to I was exhausted before this."
"Yes, I will definitely eat more and keep in shape."
Shi Qi looked at Bivis on the sidelines, "Bivis, when I make soup for me in the future, by the way, I will cook an extra serving for Xiao Shi, so that he can make up for it, so that he won't exhaust himself before finishing. "
Bivis smiled with a pair of blue eyes, and responded with a smile: "Okay, I will remember."
Seeing Shi Qi take such good care of the leading actor, Bivis felt a little sour.But he understands that Qi's care for Zheng Shi is more because he is the leading actor of the crew.
He, Bivis, is not a love-minded person, and he separates work and love very much.He would not do anything to Zheng Shi just because Shi Qi asked him to cook soup for Zheng Shi himself.
While he loves Shi Qi, he is also a personal butler and manager with excellent professional ethics.He will complete meticulously what the employer entrusts to him.
Shi Qi's preparatory work for this drama was done meticulously enough, and the filming could be completed step by step. Occasionally, when inspirations burst forth, he would make minor changes, but there were no major changes. Overall, the filming was very smooth.
The team cooperated well, and the leading actor Zheng Shi worked hard, and the filming was extremely smooth.After filming seven case units in only two months, Shi Qi felt that he had met his expectations after watching the rough-cut episodes.
So far, they have exceeded their work schedule.
However, things are fickle.
Zheng Shi, the lead actor of the crew, suddenly became popular because of a starring web drama!Business activities and announcements also increased, and he began to ask for leave from time to time to run announcements.
Naturally, the filming work of the crew needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Or how do you say things are impermanent?
Zheng Shi, an eighteen-year-old actor in his early thirties who is about the same age as Shi Qi.There was no popularity in the first ten years of his debut, and he didn't wait for the TV series directed by Shi Qi to be broadcast, but it suddenly became popular because of a web drama!
This web drama is similar to the "Suspect" they filmed. They are both reasoning and crime dramas, and they are also adapted from novels.It's just that "Yin Yang Guan" is a suspenseful fantasy romance, while "Suspect" is a realistic theme of pure reasoning and solving cases except for the point of soul penetration (brain wave crossing).
Compared with "Suspect", which is a TV series but was filmed and produced as a movie, which is well-produced, the online drama "Yin Yang Guan", which made Zheng Shi popular, seems a bit rough.
Now that the special effects of film and television have been developed well, the special effects of "Yin Yang Guan" are still the five-cent special effects of ten years ago, which are also very powerful and very retro.
In addition to the special effects, the logic of this show is not rigorous enough. When watching the show, there is always a feeling of imbalance. The plot is really not attractive to the audience.
And the reason why this drama is so popular is that the acting skills of the leading actors support the whole drama, and the two leading actors brought the protagonists of the original work to life.Driven by the original fans, acting fans and CP fans, it quickly became popular.
Between Zheng Shi and another actress, Wang Jing, and this web drama, who is leading the relationship?
The results of the casting audition for the leading role were not satisfactory, but a few supporting roles were decided on the spot.
Because the drama "Suspect" is a leading male drama with an absolute protagonist, the supporting role is only a supporting role in a unit (world), not even a supporting role throughout the whole drama.So this time, in the selection of supporting roles, Shi Qi's requirements are not high, as long as he can act and his image fits, it doesn't matter if the actor is famous or not.
His director's signature is indeed very resounding, he can cast well-known stars in small supporting roles, unless it is a friendship, otherwise he can't afford it.
Of course, if he spreads the word that he needs to play in friendship, there will definitely be many stars who want to make friends with him, but he doesn't want to take on the role of "so-and-so and Shi Shen are friends" just because of a small supporting role. friendship.It would be better to save some trouble and find an actor who is not well-known to act.
Of course, Shi Qi personally came forward when deciding on the actors for the supporting role.Even though the actors came to the "Suspect" crew for interviews at first with the mentality of 'find a job regardless of whether it's good or bad', when the interview was successful and Shi Qi came out to discuss the contract with them, they all agreed excitedly.
Twelve worlds, twelve main supporting roles, three were confirmed in the audition on this day, which can be regarded as a little gain.
When the work was finally finished, Shi Qi thought it was necessary to show off a little bit?Otherwise, it would take him a lot of time to select actors.
Although some movies have been suspended for several years or even ten years in order to find a suitable actor to star in.But Shi Qi, who has system tasks in his body, has to pursue high efficiency when planning and filming movies, otherwise he will be punished in various ways for failing to complete the tasks.
Although there are no reminders and constraints of tasks and punishments, he has also developed efficient work habits.In terms of selecting actors, Shi Qi does not choose the best, but only the most suitable one. If he cannot cooperate with the 'most suitable', he can also fall back and choose the 'appropriate'.
In fact, there has been a saying in the industry: Compared with Shi Qi's vision for selecting actors, his ability to train/teach actors is infinitely stronger.Shi Qi will be questioned about his vision of choosing actors, but in fact it is just a helpless compromise when time does not allow it.
Of course, in the end, it was still useless to use Shi Qi to reveal the news, and many actors came here.
The most difficult thing in the world to defend is news.Three actors who entered the second round of auditions and three successful auditions for supporting roles have met Shi Qi. Although they want to keep the news in case others find out and go to the audition and squeeze themselves out, the actors also have a few actor friends in the industry. , Thinking that if I succeeded in the audition, I would ask my friends to try it.
The friend had other friends, so it didn't take long for the secret news that Shi Qi directed the TV series to spread among the "circle of unknown actors" in the entertainment circle.Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. The circle of unknown actors is full of young actors who have no such person, so this news has not spread into the "famous actor circle" and "star circle".
After interviewing for a day, I got three leading actors and three supporting actors who entered the second round of auditions. Shi Qi felt that labor and harvest were not equal.
After Huotu Entertainment and Beavis received a sudden increase in audition requests, Shi Qi temporarily arranged to continue the audition at the old place the next day.
The quality of the actors who came to audition on the second day was obviously better, and the harvest was more than the previous day.When the work was over, six more supporting role candidates were finalized, as well as two protagonist candidates who entered the second round of auditions.
On the third day, according to work arrangements, Shi Qi stopped auditioning for new actors, and began to re-examine the lead candidates for the second round of auditions at ten o'clock in the morning.
The drama "Suspect" is a drama to be supported by the male lead.Shi Qi paid special attention to the selection of the male lead. After calculating the time required for each actor's audition, he chose to make an appointment with the actors who came to the second round of audition. The first one was at ten o'clock in the morning and the second was at eleven o'clock in the morning. One audition every hour from two o'clock in the afternoon.
But when Shi Qi arrived at the book cafe, there were already five actors waiting inside, that is to say, all the actors who needed the second round of auditions today were all present.
It seems that there is a clear difference between Eastern and Western actors in terms of how much they care about auditions and getting ready for the scene early.
Accompanied by Bivis, Shi Qi walked into the book café and nodded to the five people waiting in the lobby on the first floor, "Good morning, everyone."
When Shi Qi entered the door, the five actors had already stood up at the same time. Facing Shi Qi's greetings at this time, they all bowed and said hello in unison, "Good morning, Director Shi!" "Hello, Director Shi!"...
Shi Qi nodded and smiled back, then walked towards the second floor non-stop, without any obvious difference to any of the auditionees.
When the two arrived at the audition on the second floor, personnel from Huotu Entertainment and Gensler Entertainment also came.
The interviewers of Huotu Entertainment were still the two producers from the previous two days. Of course, they were the executive producers of the "Suspect" crew.In addition to a production assistant who was also present two days ago, Gensler Entertainment also replaced an assistant director. This is a member of Shi Qi's team and a director he is used to working with.
As soon as Shi Qi entered the door and saw the assistant director, he stretched out his arms and walked forward, giving him a firm hug! "Daji! I miss you so much! As long as you come, I will be relieved!"
Although he is about the same age as Shi Qi, but with a bushy beard, "Daji" replied in substandard Mandarin: "Qiqi~I want to die too! You are the director, how can I be the assistant director?" Not present!"
Shi Qi patted Daji on the shoulder vigorously, "Thank you, Daji. I chose to make a TV series this time, thank you for being willing to help me."
"Qiqi, dear, no matter what you shoot, as long as you need me, I will always be your assistant director."
If Bivis is Shi Qi's indispensable helper in his work and life, then the assistant director Daji is his crucial partner in filming.
The two of them are classmates of the same age. When Shi Qi was planning to make his first film, Daji was his assistant director.After that, in each of Shi Qi's works, Daji's name was included in the list of assistant directors.
But the outside world will only notice the director of a movie, and the presence of the assistant director is too weak.
Shi Qi has the help of the future system that integrates the professional skills of directors into Dacheng. He has taught Daji a lot in terms of professionalism, and he can almost be regarded as his teacher.But after Daji also directed several good movies, the outside media began to pay attention to and provoke the relationship between the two, and even said that Shi Qi had been suppressing Daji.
What is commendable is that Daji doesn't care about the opinions of the unexpected world at all, and his friendship with Shi Qi is still unbreakable.
The two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, finished talking about the past and sat down in the interviewer's seat one after another.
"Bevis, you can call the first auditioner to come up."
Shi Qi clicked on the personal video clip that Zheng Shi sent on the night of the interview, and handed it to the assistant director Daji beside him, "Take a look, Daji, regardless of acting skills, I value Zheng Shi more among the five."
After watching the more than four-minute-long video, Daji said, "I have some acting skills, but there is still a long way to go. But in terms of the acting skills needed for this drama, after you have been trained/taught by chess and chess, you should be able to do it." Meet the requirements."
"In fact, a bigger challenge for this show than acting skills is whether the actors can control the changeable appearance and identity. This kind of appearance and identity switching does not mean that you can switch successfully if you want to switch. The abruptness and identity should also be natural." Shi Qi said. "This is something that no matter how good the acting skills are, it cannot be compensated for. It is determined by the innate appearance conditions."
Daji has read the script and storyboard script sent to him by Shi Qi before, and he understands that there are two points to support this drama: one is the tense and brain-burning process of solving the case and clearing the suspicion from the perspective of the suspect, The second is that the protagonist can perfectly control the twelve occupations and identities corresponding to the twelve worlds.
"Whether the protagonist can control the changeable appearance and identity will affect the success or failure of this drama."
"Yes, you see, this is the video I collected for each actor's appearance, not only the appearance of the roles they have played in the past, but also their images in magazines, events, and everyday clothes." General Shi Qi Last night, the targeted video of the five second-round audition actors searched by Pudding was handed over to Daji.
Daji took over the vivo official custom-made exclusive mobile phone for the spokesperson Shi Qi, and what was playing was the first personal video of Zheng Shi who was about to audition for the second round.
This video is much more complete than what I found from the fan support club on the day of the audition. With Pudding, the 'king of the Internet world', as long as there are Zhengshi videos that have appeared on the Internet, Pudding will dig them out and grab them. Taken and clipped.
Gentle and elegant and mischievous and rebellious, abstinent and cruel and sunny, numb and indifferent and melancholy and passionate... Various appearances and temperaments are completely natural.If you glance at them casually and don't look closely, you can't even tell that it's the same person.
After watching the first video, Daji nodded: "Qiqi, your vision has always been very precise. This actor seems to be able to control various appearances and identities."
Shi Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, "The outside world said that I have a bad eye for actors. There are so many good actors out there that I don't use, but I choose some immature actors."
After cooperating with Shi Qi for so many years, how could Daji not understand the inside story of the selection of actors, but he also said in a joking tone: "Haha, it's because their vision is not big enough, Qiqi, you are creating for the world. Train more excellent actors!"
"Haha, when you say that, Daji, I feel that my image has instantly become stalwart!" My family knows my own family affairs, and his chess play is not as noble, far-sighted, and concerned about the country and the people as the outside world praises...
His first few decades were just a struggle for survival.
While the two were talking and laughing while discussing the videos of the five candidate actors, Zheng Shi, the first auditioner, walked in.
Chapter 36
Shi Qi looked at Zheng Shi with a gentle smile, "Zheng Shi?"
Zheng Shi bowed deeply, straightened up and answered with a trembling voice, "Yes, Director Shi, hello everyone. I am actor Zheng Shi, 30 years old this year, 180 cm tall, graduated from..."
Shi Qi smiled and raised his hand, interrupting Zheng Shi's too formal self-introduction, "Haha, don't be nervous, we already know your basic information, and even what we know about your actor experience may be more than what you remember More."
"After the audition, I will send you a copy. You can watch it for yourself or give a copy to your fans, so that they can give full play to their ghost...excellent creative talents." Shi Qi couldn't help but want to laugh because of the ghost animal video.
Zheng Shi, who was stopped and ridiculed again, clasped his hands tightly in front of him, unconsciously pinching his fingers to relieve his tension. "Ha, yes, ah no, thank you Director Shi..."
Daji, who saw Zheng Shi for the first time, raised his eyebrows suspiciously. Obviously, he didn't expect that the person with changing temperament and appearance in the video would be so...cute and cute in reality.
"Givemeaturn-away □□ile."
Zheng Shi was stunned, and then realized that this was the start of the interview.
turn-away □□ile?shy smile?
Zheng Shi brewed his emotions for a while, and then naturally smiled to the other side.
Shy smile, this action is relatively feminine, many actresses will choose this 'shy smile' in public.Relatively speaking, male actors will use less.
But Zheng Shi's smile doesn't look feminine, it's a little mischievous, a little cute, and full of youthful vigor, it's a very charming smile.
Dudge: "The closed-lip□□ile."
Zheng style: closed-lip□□ile?Close your mouth and smile?A hidden smile?
Dudge: "Thelopsided □□ile."
Zheng Shi: lopsided□□ile smile with slanted corners of mouth?Evil charm, sarcasm, ridicule... A smile with mixed feelings?
Daji: "Theforced□□ile." Forced to smile.
Daji: "Thesneer." Sneered.
……
When Da Ji tested Zheng Shi's various smile expressions in English, Shi Qi did not translate.
Although his team can understand some simple Chinese, the language they usually use at work is still English. If Zheng Shi decides to star in "Suspect", he will inevitably use English to communicate in his work in the future.
Now it seems that Zheng Shi's English is not bad, and he should be able to communicate in daily life.
After making Zheng Shi perform more than ten different smiles, Daji spread his hands and looked at Shi Qi: "Qiqi, I'm fine."
The reason why Daji tested Zheng Shi's different smiles is because the protagonist of "The Suspect" is a person who arms himself with a smile like Shi Qi. No matter how dangerous the situation is, he always wears a faint smile .
But the protagonist's smile is richer than Shi Qi's. The protagonist is an oriental person, and the smile also has an oriental implicit charm, but it is difficult to express the difference between each smile in this implicit.
However, it may be due to Zheng Shi's own personality, he is a reserved person from the inside out, and his smile is also very reserved, but it is easy for people to see the difference between each smile.
If it weren't for the four auditioning actors behind, Daji might have persuaded Shi Qi to directly cast him as the leading role.
Of course, Shi Qi also understands that there are two difficulties for the protagonist of "Suspect", one is the changeable appearance and identity, and the other is fair acting skills.And in this fair acting, being able to make all kinds of implicit and distinct smiles has met half of the acting requirements.
"From the twelve characters in the role analysis, let's choose a paragraph and interpret it."
The role analysis given to Zheng Shi and the actors who came to the second round of audition today is twelve different roles with different names, occupations, and personalities. Each role has several different fragments for the audition actors to choose. Choose a rendition.
After returning from Zheng Shi's first audition, he began to study the role analysis all night. If his manager, Sister Li, was afraid that he would be too tired to affect his performance today, and insisted on asking him to go to bed for four or five hours, maybe he would be able to play in one day and two nights. I have been studying character analysis without sleep.
With such serious preparation, he can be said to have tried his best to do the best he can.
Shi Qi, Da Ji and the producers and production assistants of the two parties sat and watched Zheng Shi perform twelve episodes in a row.
After Zheng Shi finished performing, Shi Qi nodded, "Zheng Shi, your image and acting skills are basically sufficient in the drama "Suspect". But..."
This "but" turning point made Zheng Shi, who hadn't completely calmed down after performing twelve episodes, hold his breath, suppressing the desire/desire to pant and cough.
Shi Qi looked at the actor who changed back to his cute self in a second, and resisted the urge to 'flirt/play', "However, there is a prerequisite for an actor to appear in the works I produced and directed...that It is to ensure that there is no problem with the past resume, in other words, it must not have done illegal or immoral things, and the professional ethics of actors must pass the test."
"Huh?" Zheng Shi didn't understand the meaning of Shi Qi's words yet.
"In order to ensure that the candidate actors can meet this requirement, we will conduct a background investigation after the audition and before signing the contract. Are there any examples of compromised professional ethics in the work system in the industry."
Under Zheng Shi's expression of surprise and ecstasy, Shi Qi continued to add: "For this back tune, we can sign a consent form for back tune, and we will ensure that the privacy of the actors will not be violated, and the content of the back tune will not be spread. Zheng Can you accept the form? If you accept it, if you pass the back pass, I will notify you to come and sign the contract."
"I accept! I accept." Zheng Shi excitedly agreed.
With only this last step of backtracking, he can be confirmed to star in the work directed by Shi Qi, and he has no reason not to agree.And although his actor resume along the way is unremarkable, he can guarantee that there will be no stains.
"Very good, that's it for today. You follow Bivis to sign a consent form for back-exiting. After three days at most, Bivis will get in touch with you no matter what the result is."
"Yes, thank you Director Shi today, thank you everyone." Zheng Shi bowed gratefully again before going out.
Zheng Shi's second round of auditions took more than 50 minutes without overtime.
After Shi Qi and the others rested for a few minutes, they called the second auditioner on time at eleven o'clock.
The second auditionee, Shi Qi and Da Ji, thought his performance was mediocre, so they eliminated him.
After auditioning for the second actor, it was already lunch time.Bivis, who can arrange work and life in a meticulous and thoughtful manner, has already ordered a sumptuous delivery meal.
After a few people had lunch together, they took a rest for a while.
As soon as two o'clock arrived, the interview with the third audition began.
It took an hour to audition one actor, and it was not until 05:30 in the afternoon that the audition of three actors was completed.
However, it is a pity that only one entered the final background tone.The other two failed to audition for the leading role, so they auditioned for two supporting roles, and finally decided on the spot to play supporting roles.In this way, the twelve main supporting roles are all short of one, and there is no rush. There are so many actors who only show a few faces and only speak a few lines to find, so just find another supporting role by the way.
Actors who play the leading role candidates need to recite the tune, so don't the actors who play the main supporting role not have to recite the tune?Not really.
There are puddings who can cross the Internet. In this Internet age, it is just a matter of order to investigate the past history and background of an actor.There are only a dozen main supporting roles, and Pudding can dig out their underpants in seconds.
Of course, the host, Shi Qi, would not allow Pudding to pick up other people's underpants. At most, he would dig deep to see if the actor had any bad deeds, so as not to be exposed in the future and affect his reputation.
Supporting roles need to be adjusted, but Shi Qi chooses to do it behind the scenes. After confirming that the actors have no major problems, Pudding will destroy the investigated data to ensure that the work and life of the actors will not be affected.
And the reason why the background of the protagonist candidates should be put on the bright side is just to warn the actors and urge them to keep their resumes clean in the future.
The rule that he will back tune the leading actors has actually been spread in the industry.Actors with obvious taints will voluntarily give up auditioning his works, and actors who want to appear in his works will pay attention to their own legal, moral and professional integrity after knowing it.
Although at first Shi Qi only backed up the protagonist actor to prevent the actor from affecting his reputation and thus increasing the difficulty of his task, but later on, it can be regarded as making some contributions to the healthy development of the entertainment industry.
It is also based on this that Shi Qi will still insist on back-tuning the protagonist actor after the task is completed.
And that night, Pudding finished the back tune of Zheng Shi and another actor Wang Jingpan.
Shi Qi looked at the results of the back tone after Pudding intelligently sorted out, and finally chose to use the Zheng style.
Wang Jingpan has no obvious illegal or immoral behavior, but several directors who have worked with him have vaguely mentioned him on social media, saying that he recites his lines in a perfunctory way when filming, and often "plays on himself" '.
Considering that the drama "Suspect" is a reasoning drama, the lines are required to be strict enough, Shi Qi feels that he has no time to correct his habit of "self-expression" in lines.
Bivis called Wang Jingpan the next morning and euphemistically explained the result that he was not selected as the leading role.Then I called Zheng Shi and informed him and his agent of the audition results, and finally made an appointment for them to negotiate a contract time and place.
Five days later, Beavis signed all co-stars.
At the beginning of the establishment of the group, Shi Qi's exclusive team was already in place, and Fu Huadao began to prepare. The scene survey and production also began to go out to select the scene, set up the scene in the studio, and the preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.
After selecting the actors, Shi Qi finally went to check the preparatory work for serving Huadao and other aspects. Except for a few more requirements he added, all the preparations met his ideas and requirements.
After all, it is an old team that has been used for more than ten years, and there is already a tacit understanding between the teams, which saves Shi Qi a lot of work and energy.He sighed more than once, fortunately he has a team he is used to in Gensler Entertainment!If he was asked to form a team again and run in with the team again, he would go bald just thinking about it, maybe he wouldn't want to make this TV series.
Everything is ready, just start shooting.
Chapter 37
Before starting the film, Shi Qi also sent Zheng Shi the complete script and a thick copy of the shot script.
After waiting for a few days, Shi Qi made an appointment with Zheng Shi and the author of the original work, Maoxiang Ribs, and the assistant director Daji. The thoughts expressed, the highlights of the play "Suspect" and the difficulties of performance... etc. All aspects of considerations have been communicated.
After the meeting of the main creators, Shi Qi randomly chose a day three days later, and silently and low-key started the machine.
It was really low-key. Not only was there no launch conference, but even the banners celebrating the launch were very small. After a while to film the highlights of the launch, the banners were removed again.
The drama "Suspect" is adapted from suspense reasoning fast travel web novels. There are a total of twelve worlds, that is, twelve case units.
The protagonist will travel to a suspect in a big case in every world—of course he is not the real murderer, he may travel through various stages before the crime, the scene of the crime, and after the arrest and arrest. What the protagonist needs to do is to fight for himself Overturn the case and clear the suspicion.
The original owners of each world before the protagonist travels, they each have different occupations, identity backgrounds, and behavioral habits... In order not to be spotted by the police/police and people around, this requires the protagonist to pretend to be the original owner.
And this also needs to be done by Zheng Shi. In a play, he not only has to play the leading role, but also plays twelve different roles instead of the leading role.
In order to make the appearance realistic, Zheng Shi needs to change twelve different hairstyles, makeup and clothing styles.
According to the length of Zheng Shi's current hair, Shi Qi decided to shoot the plot of the sixth small world first:
The protagonist soul wears a gentle and elegant university professor, looks around, and finds that he is standing next to a corpse that is still warm, and the place where he is is a perfect secret room space.I would like to ask: How does the protagonist find out the real culprit and clear himself of suspicion?
"Poter, give him makeup and styling, just follow the 6.1 hairstyle and makeup I gave you, and the final effect will be refined and refined."
Shi Qi beckoned to the makeup artist Potter, and then called the costume artist Annyer.
"Annyer, go and change Shishi into the 6.1 costume of Unit [-]."
"After doing the styling and taking a few stills, we started shooting."
In fact, the production cycle of a TV series or movie does not only refer to the shooting cycle, but also includes post-production.Even if it is not too strict, it also includes the cycle time of the preparatory stage.
Shi Qi set a production cycle of seven months for the drama "Suspect".The pre-production has already taken more than two months, he prepared to shoot for four months, and in the post-production, he will set aside another month while shooting as he goes.
It is equivalent to completing the plots of the three worlds every month, that is, completing one case unit in ten days.
Shi Qi has done the pre-production work extremely meticulously. He finished filming a case in ten days, and the post-production team roughly cut out the plot of four to five episodes, which he felt could be completed.
It may not be too easy to complete, but as long as the protagonist can keep up with the progress, there will be no major problems.
After Zheng Shi finished modeling, Shi Qi felt that it would be no problem to shoot a world in ten days.
With just one glance, Shi Qi could see that Zheng Shi had completed the role switch, from himself to a refined and refined university professor.
A successful role switch also means entering the scene, and the shooting after that will naturally be much smoother.
Facts have proved this to be the case.
Most directors choose the principle of "the first one at the startup" because it is simple and easy to shoot, so that "one pass" can be guaranteed, which is a good sign of a smooth start.
Shi Qi doesn't care about these, he doesn't deliberately choose simple scenes to shoot, but shoots whichever one should be shot.
Therefore, even though the first scene this time is the scene of 'the protagonist's soul wears through the university professor and is in the murder chamber', Shi Qi didn't deliberately avoid it.
"Action!"
The filming of the first scene of the TV series "Suspect" has started!
Zheng Shi discarded all kinds of distracting thoughts and closed his eyes...
When he opened his eyes again, he became the protagonist Wu Mei whose soul had already experienced five worlds. When he found that he had soul transmigrated again, his eyes showed slight disgust and impatience.
Then when accepting the memory of the original body, his micro-expression implicitly but clearly showed a state of enduring pain.
After that, when he saw the bloody, still warm corpse on the ground, he seemed to be physically unwell, and took a small step back. The distance of this small step was accurately grasped.
If you don't take this small step back, it will appear that the protagonist has become insensitive and has no reverence for life.If this step is taken too far, the protagonist will lose his composure and the contrast with ordinary people. This will not only destroy the personality of the protagonist, but also the personality of the university professor played by the protagonist.
There is not a single line, but it is not easy to be subtle but clear in this coherent expression and subtle body changes.
"Cut! Small style, well behaved."
Shi Qi came out from behind the monitor, walked to Zheng Shi's side, patted him on the shoulder and praised him.
"Thank you, Director Shi."
Zheng Shi is a slow-moving and non-verbal person, facing Shi Qi's compliment, he didn't know what else to say other than thank you.
"Where is Xiao Shi's assistant? Bring him a small fan." Shi Qi shouted towards the outside of the arena.
Now when the beginning of autumn in □□month, the weather is still very hot, Zheng Shi is still wearing a neat three-piece suit, and he will sweat in a short while.
A fat assistant brought a small hand-held fan.
After Zheng Shi took it, he blew on himself for a while, and found that Shi Qi on the opposite side was also sweaty, so he quietly turned the small fan over and blowed on Shi Qi.
Shi Qi felt a cool wind blowing towards him, and looked down to see Zheng Shi quietly blowing him, so he refused with a smile: "Blow it yourself, be careful if you get dizzy, I'll go back right away I went to a place with a small air conditioner."
Zheng Shi silently turned the small fan over and blew on himself.
It's really soft, cute, and obedient.
"Looking at your state, it should be that you have studied the script and the storyboard script well?" Zheng Shi's just-right performance and stance can only be achieved by thoroughly understanding the script and the storyboard script.
Otherwise, at the node of the sixth world, it is easy to over-act, and his position just now made the camera position very accurate.
"Yes, I have prepared well."
Shi Qi finally understood that Zheng Shi is an actor who only knows how to perform silently.He didn't even grasp the opportunity to ask for credit to show his hard work and flatter him to favor him just now, so he just stated the fact that he was prepared.
"It's good to be prepared." Shi Qi nodded in satisfaction.
"Keep it up in the future! I'm shooting this TV series as if it were twelve movies, and my requirements will naturally not be low. Moreover, my estimated shooting cycle is four months, which means that we will finish the film in ten days. To finish a case unit. Do you know what that means?"
Zheng Shi nodded solemnly and firmly, "I know, I will always maintain a good shooting condition, and try not to delay the shooting process!"
From the costumes, studio scenery, photographic equipment, etc., it can be clearly seen that this is indeed a world-class team led by Shi Qi.
Such a professional team is what he dreams of cooperating with, and as the protagonist of this drama, he must perform well and ensure that he does not hold back the crew.
"Very good." Shi Qi patted Zheng Shi's shoulder again, "You have to work hard, but you can't exhaust your body. The next three case units are all required to maintain your current body shape. You don't want to I was exhausted before this."
"Yes, I will definitely eat more and keep in shape."
Shi Qi looked at Bivis on the sidelines, "Bivis, when I make soup for me in the future, by the way, I will cook an extra serving for Xiao Shi, so that he can make up for it, so that he won't exhaust himself before finishing. "
Bivis smiled with a pair of blue eyes, and responded with a smile: "Okay, I will remember."
Seeing Shi Qi take such good care of the leading actor, Bivis felt a little sour.But he understands that Qi's care for Zheng Shi is more because he is the leading actor of the crew.
He, Bivis, is not a love-minded person, and he separates work and love very much.He would not do anything to Zheng Shi just because Shi Qi asked him to cook soup for Zheng Shi himself.
While he loves Shi Qi, he is also a personal butler and manager with excellent professional ethics.He will complete meticulously what the employer entrusts to him.
Shi Qi's preparatory work for this drama was done meticulously enough, and the filming could be completed step by step. Occasionally, when inspirations burst forth, he would make minor changes, but there were no major changes. Overall, the filming was very smooth.
The team cooperated well, and the leading actor Zheng Shi worked hard, and the filming was extremely smooth.After filming seven case units in only two months, Shi Qi felt that he had met his expectations after watching the rough-cut episodes.
So far, they have exceeded their work schedule.
However, things are fickle.
Zheng Shi, the lead actor of the crew, suddenly became popular because of a starring web drama!Business activities and announcements also increased, and he began to ask for leave from time to time to run announcements.
Naturally, the filming work of the crew needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Or how do you say things are impermanent?
Zheng Shi, an eighteen-year-old actor in his early thirties who is about the same age as Shi Qi.There was no popularity in the first ten years of his debut, and he didn't wait for the TV series directed by Shi Qi to be broadcast, but it suddenly became popular because of a web drama!
This web drama is similar to the "Suspect" they filmed. They are both reasoning and crime dramas, and they are also adapted from novels.It's just that "Yin Yang Guan" is a suspenseful fantasy romance, while "Suspect" is a realistic theme of pure reasoning and solving cases except for the point of soul penetration (brain wave crossing).
Compared with "Suspect", which is a TV series but was filmed and produced as a movie, which is well-produced, the online drama "Yin Yang Guan", which made Zheng Shi popular, seems a bit rough.
Now that the special effects of film and television have been developed well, the special effects of "Yin Yang Guan" are still the five-cent special effects of ten years ago, which are also very powerful and very retro.
In addition to the special effects, the logic of this show is not rigorous enough. When watching the show, there is always a feeling of imbalance. The plot is really not attractive to the audience.
And the reason why this drama is so popular is that the acting skills of the leading actors support the whole drama, and the two leading actors brought the protagonists of the original work to life.Driven by the original fans, acting fans and CP fans, it quickly became popular.
Between Zheng Shi and another actress, Wang Jing, and this web drama, who is leading the relationship?
