After My Ex-Boyfriend's White Moonlight Proposed to Me

Years later, Zhuang Yan devoted himself to the preparatory work of the film.

Hearing that he found Xie Ning as the main artist, Zhao Yang was also very relieved.

The art department is second only to the director group in the movie, and its importance is extraordinary.

In addition to doing conceptual design and scene design for the film, in a broad sense, the art department is also responsible for the entire film's "service", that is, costumes, makeup, and props.

It is naturally impossible to leave it to Xie Ning to take care of it alone. Zhuang Yan's crew has an art director named Wang Zhuan, and he is called Brother Jian. A small stubble of beard.

Many production crews in China, especially small production crews, do not have the distinction between an art director and a main artist, but abroad it is very clear.Zhuang Yan has been abroad for a long time, and the division of art groups also has certain rules.

Art directors generally do not specifically participate in the design, but only control the general direction, mainly supervise and manage, coordinate the work of various groups of personnel, design the overall visual style, and make the style and tone of the film uniform.

The main artist is responsible for the design of the main concepts and scenes, and sometimes participates in the design of important props and the shape of the protagonist.

Of course, there are assistant artists and art assistants under the main artist. Most of the drawings are drawn by these people, and their usual job is to draw pictures.

Some large-scale movies may require hundreds of draftsmen, including but not limited to various buildings, costumes, and props. Large and small designs must be drawn and handed over to the props team for production.

For a production team like Zhuang Yan, there are at least a dozen of Xie Ning's assistant artists and art assistants.

Most of them were recruited by Zhao Yang in China, which is why he recommended Zheng Jing in the first place.

Zheng Jing's subordinates have their own studio, and hiring him alone is equivalent to contracting more than half of the art team.

When Zhuang Yan brought Xie Ning to the company, both Zhao Yang and Wang gradually were taken aback.

At first, Zhao Yang thought he was an amateur discovered by Zhuang Yan, with a good image and temperament, but he looked a little cold, and he didn't know how the camera felt.

Zhuang Yan glanced at him: "This is the main art I mentioned to you before, Xie Ning."

Zhao Yang: "..."

These days, it doesn't matter that director Zhuang Yan is handsome, but even the chief artist has to look good to be a director?

Zhuang Yan gradually introduced Zhao Yang and Wang to Xie Ning.

"This is Zhao Yang, the producer. You discuss the budget of the art team with him; this is Wang Zhuan, the art director. You can call him Brother Jian after others."

Brother Jian's name is a homonym of Brother Jian, which sounds quite unique.

Xie Ning: "Brother Zhao, Brother Jian."

Wang gradually touched the stubble on his chin, and teased, "So you are Director Zhuang's new love?"

Zhuang Yan frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Turning around and explaining to Xie Ning: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I don't even have an old love."

Xie Ning nodded with a suppressed smile.

Wang gradually took Xie Ning's shoulders carelessly: "Since it's the main beauty, it's mine."

"Go away." Zhuang Yan was not polite this time, he slapped his hand away and snorted, "This is my man, don't touch me."

Wang gradually became very surprised.

Zhuang Yan mentioned Xie Ning's situation a little bit, and said: "I will directly communicate with Xie Ning about the design of the concept and the main scene, and tell him my ideas. He is not very familiar with prop production and setting implementation. You pay more attention and arrange for him to be an art assistant who knows more about this field."

"Okay, got it." Wang gradually smiled angrily, "Such a baby, you won't even be allowed to touch it?"

Zhuang Yan raised his chin, and gave Wang Jianchao a warning look: "I don't care how you mess around outside, but you are not allowed to tease him blindly."

Wang gradually became helpless: "My fault, I will restrain myself in the crew."

Xie Ning blinked, and couldn't help laughing.

Before coming here, Zhuang Yan had emphatically mentioned Wang Zhuan to him, saying that he behaved more slutty, but he was never married and didn't have a girlfriend, and flirting with people was always a matter of choice, and there was nothing wrong with his character.

With Xu Qing's lessons learned from the past, Zhuang Yan specifically told him to keep contact with Wang Gradually less in private except for necessary work.

Xie Ning complied obediently.

Originally, he was not a character who liked to interact with people.

The script of Zhuang Yanxin's movie has just been released. Although there will definitely be various changes in the future, the birth of the first version also means that many things can be put on the schedule.

Shanin was one of the first to see the script.

The background era of the new film was chosen in the Republic of China.

The Republic of China was an era with a great sense of conflict and resistance, the alternation of old and new ideas, and the rapid changes in society...

When countless people think of the Republic of China, apart from those black and white photos, the first thing that comes to mind is the righteousness of the family and the country, and the revolutionary struggle.

Zhuang Yan continued his usual style, you said you want the righteousness of the family and the country, but he just wanted to tell the lingering love story, the great power of art and love.

But in the details, it reveals the alternation of new and old, the contradiction between feudalism and democracy.

After Xie Ning finished reading the script, Zhuang Yan asked him what he thought.

Xie Ning blinked: "Is this a love triangle story of red and white roses?"

Zhuang Yan: "Yes."

It sounds like a very corny plot.

But Zhuang Yan is good at portraying love romantically and movingly with the lens and pictures. Xie Ning has seen his delicate observation and handling of emotions, and he is looking forward to it.

This time he also personally participated in the art design of the movie, Xie Ning couldn't help being a little nervous.

He asked: "I don't have much experience. Is it too fast to take the lead when I come up?"

Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows: "Ning Ning, when did you become so unconfident in your professional level?"

Xie Ning shook his head and said, "I heard from Teacher Yang Rui that the main beauty of a movie is not just to bury your head in painting. It requires communication in many ways, and sometimes it needs to be processed and remodeled according to the actual scene."

And communication is the most difficult thing for Xie Ning.

"And even the graduates of prestigious art schools, they all start as assistants when they come out, and very few of them are directly airborne as the main artist."

Zhuang Yan chuckled softly, "Do you know what art assistants usually do?"

Xie Ning shook his head: "I'm not very clear, assist the artist in drawing?"

Zhuang Yan said: "Making pictures, making forms, writing documents, printing documents, and other auxiliary tasks do not require high professional requirements. If you say that you are an art assistant, the last two words are the key."

Art assistants are used to make contacts for those entering the industry. They don't have too much technical content, and you can go straight to the sub-art after doing it once.

Xie Ning: "...then there is also an art."

Zhuang Yan looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "To put it bluntly, the deputy art team is to help the main artist. Ningning, your skills are not bad at all. With your creativity and design level, you are working hard in the deputy art group. , Running between the studio and the prop factory every day is too much talent. Just like youth, human talent cannot be squandered, which is why Mr. Yang wanted to recommend you to me so much."

Xie Ning was taken aback.

Zhuang Yan said seriously: "Believe in me, and also in yourself, your ability is completely capable of being the lead actor of any crew."

Xie Ning nodded slowly: "Yes."

"Besides you, I really can't find any other main beauty that suits my heart." Zhuang Yan said again, "Before I asked you to draw the scene diagram of "Monologue", just to see your level, but I didn't know it at the time. Do you have any intention of entering film and television art? I dare not speak rashly, but Mr. Yang just recommended you to me."

Xie Ning blinked: "Such a coincidence?"

Zhuang Yan smiled: "It means that this is the fate between us, you are destined to come to my crew and be my main actress."

The word "main beauty" is nothing, but the word "my" is added in front of it, and the atmosphere instantly becomes ambiguous.

Xie Ning's face burned again in disbelief, he lowered his head and pretended to continue reading the script, but was exposed by the red tips of his ears.

Zhuang Yan couldn't help but hooked his lips into a smile.

Once the script comes out, the art team can carry out conceptual design, determine the overall style, and design the atmosphere map.

Xie Ning also met with several deputy artists to get to know each other. After seeing their works, Xie Ning was relieved.

Among other things, his design level and art skills are indeed much higher.

I don't know if it's an invisible rule in the industry. Most people call the main artist the art boss, and the deputy artist and art assistant save the first two words and call him the boss directly.

Xie Ning was very uncomfortable when he heard it, and he didn't realize that he was calling him several times.

It was the first time he came into contact with a film and television project, and Xie Ning was very enthusiastic about his work. The director Zhuang Yan was about to go home, but when he turned around, Xie Ning was still busy.

Zhuang Yan couldn't help feeling distressed: "There's no need to work so hard."

Xie Ning said truthfully: "I am afraid that my design is not good enough and it will ruin your movie, so I try to make it as perfect as possible."

"Belittle yourself." Zhuang Yan glanced at his design draft, because it was still a draft, so it didn't take shape, and he couldn't see the specific appearance.

But looking at the messy balls of paper on the table, it can be seen that he probably ruined a lot of drafts.

Zhuang Yan forcibly pulled him away: "I, the director, didn't even say that you were ruined, so don't think about these messes. There are so many people in the art team to spend time with you. You are their boss now. If you don't leave, how can they dare?" Go first."

Xie Ning took a look, and sure enough, the deputy artist and two art assistants who were in the same room as him were still sitting obediently in their seats.

So he was taken away by Zhuang Yan without any resistance and stuffed into the car.

Recently, Zhuang Yan would send him home when he was done with work, because he was on the way.

Xie Ning hasn't had time to move into the house given by Mr. Xie after many years, and still lives in the lakeside villa. Zhuang Yan picks him up every morning and evening.

Halfway through the car, Zhuang Yan asked, "Are your ingredients running out?"

Xie Ning thought about it for a while: "It seems that there are not many."

Zhuang Yan turned the steering wheel, and the car drove to another road.

"It just happened not to be overdone." He said, "I'm going to the vegetable market to buy some food. Let me show you my skills tonight?"

Xie Ning's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

Zhuang Yan's cooking skills are completely different from his. Xie Ning is full of praise for the taste no matter how many times he eats it.

It's just that he is usually too busy, Xie Ning is not willing to watch him cook with fatigue.

Xie Ning likes hot and sour food, and loves sweet and sour fish and sweet and sour pork ribs. Wild fish is hard to buy this season, and Zhuang Yan, who farms them, dislikes them, so he only picks ribs and chicken wings.

Buy some more vegetables and eggs, the portion is just right.

Back at the lakeside villa, the car stopped directly in front of Xie Ning's house.

"You go in first." After Xie Ning got out of the car, Zhuang Yan was still sitting in the cab, "I'll park the car in the garage first, so as not to have to drive it again at night."

Xie Ning nodded: "Then I'll wait for you at the door for a while."

Zhuang Yan refused: "It's windy outside, go in and wait."

That being said, when he drove the car away, Xie Ning thought about it, and stayed at the door to wait for a while.

He enjoyed the walk from the gate to the house with Zhuang Yan very much.

That kind of home-like warmth is a feeling he has forgotten for a long, long time.

The wind was a bit cold, Xie Ning shrank his neck and couldn't help rubbing his hands.

A black figure walked over from the opposite side of the road, carrying two gift boxes in his hands, probably visiting someone.

When he got near Xie Ning, he saw a person standing there, subconsciously looked over, and was taken aback for a moment.

He rubbed his eyes, then took a closer look, with a surprised expression on his face.

"Thank you, Xie Ning?!"

Hearing someone calling his name, Xie Ning turned his head in astonishment.

"It's really you!" he asked in shock, "Why are you here?"

Xie Ning was stunned.

It's Xu Qing.

The author has something to say: Zhuang Zhuang: (with no expression on his face) Why did I leave for a few minutes, and some people who don't have long eyes cling to Ningning.

Ning Ning: I don't know about qaq either.

Xu Qing doesn't have many roles, and he won't have much contact with Ning Ning, so Zhuang Zhuang is going to deal with him, and this time he is here to assist.

The content about film art is based on a little information and made up.

I don't have any professionalism. When I checked the information, I found that most of the production crews in China seemed to have the art director and lead artist usually alone. I felt that Ningning could not afford the job of the artist at this time, so I separated.

Just treat it as if I wrote it blindly! ! !Don't take the evidence seriously! !

The entertainment industry is mainly related to Zhuang Zhuang and Ning Ning's career line, mostly working behind the scenes, literary film directors and original art painters, may write about filming crews, filming awards, etc., but there should be only a little bit.

Neither Zhuang Zhuang nor Ning Ning will become stars, and I apologize to the little angels who were attracted by the label of the entertainment industry.
