This director only makes bad movies

For Mimi, the movie "Spider-Man" is of great significance.

In this movie, she is the absolute protagonist, and 80% of the movie's scenes focus on her.

Apart from her, the movie does not have any big-name stars, and all the pressure on the box office is on her alone.

If a movie hits the box office, it means she has the ability to handle the box office; if a movie flops at the box office, she will hit the streets with it.

It is no exaggeration to say that this movie is related to her future stardom.

Success, soaring into the sky; failure, fall into the abyss.

Among the entire crew, the one who is under the greatest pressure is Mimi.

She is even more stressed than Xu Nan. The movie's failure will definitely have an impact on Xu Nan, but the impact will not be too great because Xu Nan has already made money.

Mimi was different. She was paid zero for her role, and she received no benefits at all. She even spent money to give gifts to the crew several times, and her investment was huge.

Precisely because this movie is very important to Mimi, Mimi is extremely devoted to this movie and invested 120% of her energy.

She memorized the script given by Xu Nan seriously and showed the same energy as when she first acted.

Study carefully, study hard, and analyze word for word.

Moreover, she will try to act out the scene in front of the mirror so that she knows it well to avoid problems during the actual filming.

It can be said that Mimi works really hard.

When Xu Nan informed her that filming of the movie had officially started, Mimi was a little nervous but also relieved.

There was even some expectation.

She was nervous because the movie was very important, but relaxed because the filming had finally started and she no longer had to stare at the script all day long.

The reason for the expectation is that she wants to show off her long-practiced acting skills, which will amaze everyone and convince everyone on the crew, especially the director Xu Nan.

The first scene to be shot today is very simple.

The heroine Yang Zhizhu got up from the bed in the dormitory, washed quickly, and got ready for class.

There is almost no difficulty in this scene, and it can even be called easy.

Mimi was once a student, and she had personal experience with getting up quickly to go to class.

Moreover, she has acted many times and has rich experience. This kind of scene is not difficult for her at all.

Simple.

The filming was just as Mimi expected, extremely relaxed.

She was wearing pajamas, sleeping on the bed, and was woken up by the alarm clock.

Yang Zhizhu glanced at the time and patted his forehead.

"Oops, I'm going to be late."

Then Yang Zhizhu quickly got up, changed clothes, and hurried to wash up.

Throughout the entire acting process, Mimi's expression was extremely natural and her movements were smooth and smooth, as if she was not a big star, but an ordinary college student who was in a hurry to go to class.

Xu Nan couldn't help but nodded.

Who said Mimi's acting skills are not good? Isn't this just mindless and stupid?

Obviously Mimi's acting skills are very good, very natural and very smooth.

If he were asked to give a score, it would not even be 100 points, but 120 points.

After washing up quickly, Mimi quickly ran out of the dormitory, and this very simple scene was over.

"Click, pass, next item."

Xu Nan said very naturally.

Afterwards, the props master, lighting engineer and makeup artist, who had been with Xu Nan for a long time, skillfully began to prepare for the next scene.

"Ah?" Mimi was shocked.

"Director, is this the next scene?"

Xu Nan nodded: "Now that we've finished shooting this one, we'll definitely have to do the next one."

"Get ready, brew up your feelings, and go over the plot in your head. The next scene will start filming soon."

Mimi was a little surprised.

Is Director Xu Nan so easy to talk to?

Generally speaking, directors have very high requirements, and the bigger the director, the higher the requirements.

There once was a great director who wanted to film a walking scene.

This scene only lasts a few seconds in the movie and has no special significance.

But in order to film this scene well, the great director specially hired people and spent millions to redo the glass of the building. The reason was simply because he felt that the light that filtered through the glass of the building before did not look good on the characters. ,no taste.

You can say this is a waste, or you can say it is the pursuit of art.

Anyway, great directors are basically very willful. Sometimes they can shoot hundreds of times just for one shot.

Even some directors, in order to show their majesty and authority, will deliberately let the actors perform a few more times even if their performances are good, just to polish the actors.

Although Xu Nan has not been in the industry for a long time, in terms of box office, he is better than many veteran directors in the industry.

So Mimi was ready to act a few more times, and she even thought that if Xu Nan wanted to make her powerful and deliberately torture her to make her act a few more times, that would be fine.

As long as it's not too much, she can tolerate it.

After all, this movie is so important to her.

But I didn’t expect it to pass once?

A little too smooth.

Mimi even felt a sense of disillusionment: "Well, director, can you just confirm it once?"

Xu Nan immediately said: "Okay, you acted so well, of course you can do it again."

Mimi nodded involuntarily.

She really acted very well. Since it was her first scene, she gave 120% of her acting skills. It was definitely the peak of her acting career.

After repeating it, it seems to be normal.

But there is still a problem.

"That director, don't you have to protect yourself?" Mimi asked again.

Generally speaking, even if the actors perform well, the director will re-shoot it and keep it for later use. This is what is commonly known in the industry as a guarantee.

It is necessary to keep one thing in mind, not only to provide more materials for the film’s post-editing, allowing the editor to select the best, but also to prevent unexpected situations.

As long as it is a film crew, after finishing a scene, they will ask for one guarantee. A more cautious director will even ask for two guarantees.

But why is Director Xu Nan so fresh and refined? He doesn't even need to keep a line and just goes to the next scene.

Xu Nan smiled: "Mimi, there's no need to keep a secret. Your performance just now was perfect, without any flaws."

"The only guarantee is to see if you can give a better performance, but you don't need it at all, because your performance is very good and flawless."

Mimi felt very proud to be told.

Was my performance that good just now?

It seems to be true. After all, she worked very hard this time and gave 120% of her energy to perform well.

The scene just now was very simple, and there was no difficulty for her.

For such a simple lens, it seems that there is really no need to protect it.

And now there is nothing that can be done to protect it, because the prop master of the crew moves very quickly, and in just a few minutes, the scene for the next scene is set up.
