Chapter 495: The Great Directors Teachings(1/2)
With Wu Di's current status, if he chooses the arrogant way of doing things in his previous life, he will probably be collectively banned by the circle before the movie is released.
Of course, even if it was influenced by the original body, Wu Di now makes reasonable use of his original personality.
My original body had been in Hengdian for so long, but she could only float around and didn't even win a serious role, because of his personality.
Wu Di is different from the original body after all, but it was not until recently that he miserably discovered that although he still retains many memories of his previous life, his temperament is inevitably affected by the original body.
Many times, I become less like myself!
So, what should Wu Di say now? It is a collection of two personalities, both a humble and cautious side, and an arrogant and confident side.
Wu Di was surprised to find that it was good to be a bit of a good match.
The effect of mixing two personalities is quite good, which can well neutralize the weaknesses of the two personalities, or in other words, package the weaknesses into acceptable advantages.
After receiving the movie "Skin Change", Wu Di began to naturally use this kind of personality to mix the circle, and the effect was obvious.
It has won many praises, and what we should do now is to keep it going.
Maintaining a personality is also a abilities that a mature social person should have. It is like a naturally cunning person, but he can only pretend to be kind. In the end, because the effect is too good, he himself can't tell whether he is a cunning person or a kind person.
As I pretended, I believed it.
"Who said I haven't seen it?"
Wu Di is carrying out active self-psychological construction. Just now, the skeleton has been built here, and Director Huang suddenly said this.
He was stunned: "What did you say?"
"Have you seen my performance?"
No!
To be honest, Wu Di has never seen the final result of the filming of the film "Skin Change".
Even Zhang Feng had never thrown the roughly cut movies to him.
How could Director Huang see it?
It is obvious that Director Huang had never been to the shooting scene at Hengdian. At that time, he had never seen anyone like him.
"What do you lie to you?"
Director Huang was in a good mood while driving the car while listening to the radio.
"Don't you know?"
"I have seen all the sample films of your movie, and of course I have seen your performances."
"Otherwise, how could I invite you to join the short film shooting? Who do you think I am? I have extremely high requirements for my work, even the tasks I handed over temporarily."
"If I didn't think your scene was pretty good, how could I come to you?"
Is this actually happening?
Director Huang is a cheerful person who talks a lot. Before Wu Di can ask questions, he told all the situation at that time.
Only then did Wu Di realize that many of Lao Zhang’s acquaintances, those famous directors, screenwriters and producers have all watched the skin-changing sample films internally.
Wu Di finally knew that he invited friends in the industry to watch his daughter's new work, but the director's daughter Ms. Zhang Feng was not aware of it.
This operation is really too sultry.
What kind of temper does Zhang Feng have? How could he make up her efforts and promote it everywhere without her permission?
"This is impossible!"
"Before the movie was released, the sample films were in the hands of the director. As far as I know, Director Zhang was very confidential in this aspect. How could she hand over the sample film to Lao Zhang?"
"You don't understand this. Although they have a bad relationship, they are still father and daughter after all. They are still in the same circle. There are still many daughters who need their father's help."
Wu Di: Who said that they have a bad relationship?
Don't talk nonsense, can you harm others?
There was a red light in front of me, and the driver Huang, who was very excited to drive, could only stop temporarily, but his mouth still didn't stop.
"Where is Xiao Zhang, of course she gave the sample to Lao Zhang to see, but at the beginning she just wanted to hear Lao Zhang's opinions, which could be considered a performance display."
"You young people are more familiar with this kind of teacher-student relationship. Even if the parents and children break up, the children sometimes hope to be recognized by their parents."
"So, Xiao Zhang gave Lao Zhang the sample to watch, but what she didn't know was that while she was not paying attention, Lao Zhang invited us old friends to watch it together."
"What kind of psychology is this?" Wu Di really couldn't understand it. At the same time, he felt that the generation gap does exist among people of different age groups.
If Zhang Feng knew about this kind of thing, he would definitely get angry, and it would definitely be the rage of thunder!
"What else can you show off?" Director Huang's tone was very light, as if his parents of their era were all thinking like this.
"You think, if Lao Zhang really doesn't support Xiao Zhang in the circle and being a director, can she form such a big game?"
"If you think about it this way, although this video doesn't seem to be a particularly large production, before that, Zhang Feng was unrecognizable in the industry and had no works. Skin swapping was her first work, so where did she get the investment?"
"Who brought her to those screenwriters, professional photographers, and lighting artists? Did they all depend on her?"
Wu Di naturally understood this principle.
"But, isn't that the halo of the famous director's daughter working?"
Anyway, Zhang Feng is not here, so it doesn’t matter if he says something truthful.
Director Zhang laughed: "How is that possible?"
"You young man, your idea is really naive. No wonder Lao Zhang likes you."
"Because it's Lao Zhang's daughter who came out to make movies, her face is indeed bigger than other new directors. However, the film industry is the most practical, and there is real money everywhere. You don't give others benefits, don't create value, and no one has verified your strength. Why do those big bosses give you face?"
The film industry and the TV industry are different. There are big dramas with burning funds every day. A movie can be launched as a finished product, or even successfully released in the end, and it has a very good schedule.
Every step can be said to be money and connections pave the way.
In the film industry in 2009, the entire production was still relatively wild, such as some fixed positions, such as photographers, lighting artists, etc., were packaged and rented to a certain crew to do things.
In this kind of packaged group, it is generally acquaintances, and no matter how capable outsiders are, they are difficult to get into the foot.
Moreover, in this kind of group, the relationship between master and apprentice and old friends is very common. In short, for example, movies with relatively large investments such as skin replacement, even if the crew structure is already relatively rigorous, it is also operated in a semi-shop style.
As a director, Zhang Feng can control only the cooperation between several small groups. As long as they can cooperate tacitly and produce good price comparison results, she has no interest in understanding how these groups are formed, let alone managing them.
As long as the filmed things meet the director's requirements, there will be no problems.
However, the problem is also obvious. With Lao Zhang's signature, as a new director, Zhang Feng, who is a fledgling, can certainly attract some professionals in the industry to help.
However, this selfless dedication is ultimately limited and is not enough to support the formation of a relatively large crew.
"So, according to your opinion, Lao Zhang also supports Zhang Feng in making movies?"
"Just, don't want to show it on the surface?"
Director Huang nodded: "You boy, finally realized it."
"Actually, Zhang Feng had known for a long time that the crew could be formed and the official film was released. Lao Zhang made a lot of efforts, but you also know that the relationship between the two of them has always been very conflicting, so Xiao Zhang naturally wouldn't say anything if Lao Zhang didn't say it."
"However, these are all things that are well-known, but no one wants to admit it."
"This is indeed in line with the personality of both of them."
"What is the character?" Director Huang obviously had a poor understanding of this new vocabulary.
And Wu Di was not interested in explaining to him.
"So, in order to show your daughter's talent, Lao Zhang gave the skin-changing sample to you old friends?" The process should be like this.
Director Huang also expressed his affirmation.
"Well, as a well-known director in the industry, what do you think of this movie?"
“I want to hear your professional advice.”
In fact, this is a question that should not be raised. Xiao Zhang and Lao Zhang both gave him face and created many job opportunities for him, Wu Di.
Wu Di should be grateful and shut up, either not talking or saying good things.
Whether the movie is good or bad, and its level is not something Wu Di should care about.
To take a step back, he is just an actor, and movies, from the day he was born, have been the art of directors.
It is the director's aesthetic level, personal interests, and expression of emotions and will, and the actor is just the director's tool.
Even for the general public, when many people remember the first thing they remember when they like to watch, they are often the actors and big stars.
However, the actor still has to obey the director's instructions, and he cannot decide the direction of the movie's story and the presentation effect of the final product.
Among them, there is a professional term worth discussing.
It is the so-called editing.
Many viewers naturally know that all film and television works, including TV series, have editors.
It’s like many classic TV series works, and the director also serves as an editor. Of course, TV series also has an editing program.
Moreover, if the director is responsible for editing himself, the effect presented will be more guaranteed.
However, due to the limitations of the media of television, there are still not many things that TV series can do in editing.
