Entertainment: Start as an idol trainee

"You are a director, do you just want to slack off every day?" Wang Chu said to the phone after approaching Sister Meng.

"If it weren't for "Perfect World", I wouldn't bother to be the chief director."

"If the director is good, it's tiring; if the director is not good, it's tiring and you will be scolded, but being scolded is not the most important thing."

"The important thing is that if the director is not good, the IP will be ruined, and the original fans will be disappointed. This is the most fatal thing."

"Among the three points of being scolded, tired, and ruining the IP, being scolded is actually the lightest for me."

Cao Gong, with his legs crossed, took the water cup next to him to drink tea.

While drinking tea, I heard Wang Chu's voice on the phone: "What time did you arrive at the crew today? Will you finish work at 11 o'clock tonight?"

"I arrived at the crew at 7 o'clock and started work at 7:30. It is ideal to finish work at 11 o'clock tonight."

"If I don't perform well during filming, or the director is not good, then it may be one or two o'clock. It's hard to say." Cao Gong's answer made everyone understand.

In this matter, Cao Gong did not say that it was the actors' poor performance and too many NGs that would lead to not being able to finish work on time.

Instead, he said that it was his own poor directing that led to not being able to finish get off work until one or two o'clock.

"Then why are you still answering the phone? We must have affected you."

"We are setting up the scene. You have to wait a while." He can answer the phone now, which means he is free.

"Not finishing work on time is the director's fault, not the actor's?" Meng Ziyi didn't understand.

"Yes, not finishing work on time, or in other words, a scene taking too long to shoot, is not entirely the actor's fault, but also the director's fault."

Cao Gong definitely gave a reasonable answer to this question. 18

Everyone at the scene also listened very seriously and did not answer.

Xie La wanted to speak, but was stopped by Teacher He, who told her to be quiet and not to interrupt.

"It is normal for an actor to make a mistake in a scene, but if he makes a mistake dozens of times, it may be the actor's own problem. It may be that the actor's acting skills are not good, or the director is not satisfied with the actor's understanding of the scene. It may also be because he can't remember the lines."

"If the actor can't remember the lines or can't speak them well, it is indeed a problem with the actor's attitude."

"But if the actor's acting skills are not good enough, as a director, you should be mentally prepared since you have chosen this actor. After all, you know that his acting skills are too immature, but you still choose to use him. This is a problem for you as a director."

"Also, if the actor doesn't understand the scene well, it is not only the actor's problem, but the director also accounts for a large part of the reason. Because the director doesn't tell the actor clearly what he wants and how he wants the actor to act. If you don't explain it clearly, the actor can't understand what you want."

"Or, sometimes, the actor acts very well, but the director always feels that it is a little bit lacking, so he will make a mistake directly. The leading actorOr other actors or even staff members think that the scene is well performed, but the director says it is NG, and the reason is that something is missing. They should look for it again, perform it again, or perform it in a different way and with a different understanding. But often, even the director himself cannot tell what feeling is missing, and can only let the actors perform according to his own ideas until the director is satisfied, or performs the feeling that the director said is missing. ”

Cao Gong’s words made Meng Ziyi, Wang Chuyu, Wang Hedi and others nod their heads.

It’s true. They are all newcomers born after 1995 when filming in the crew.

It’s certain that their acting skills are immature. When filming in the crew, they always encounter situations where they obviously acted very well in a scene, and they think they are very good.

But sometimes the director will say, no, no, it’s not interesting enough, try again?

“Some people may think that the director says it’s not interesting enough, but they can’t tell what it is, which means that the director’s ability is insufficient. In fact, it’s not like that.”

“You have to understand that whether it’s the leading male or the leading female, you may only need 700 or 800 scenes in a play; but what about the director? He has to direct the entire play himself, with 1,000 or 2,000 scenes of all sizes. ”

“A director who has directed one or two thousand scenes in a row cannot accurately explain the scenes to every actor and clearly explain the feelings of each scene. There are always feelings that cannot be explained clearly. ”

“Especially for the "Perfect World" I am directing now, the original plot is 80 episodes, and one episode of the TV series is about 30 to 40 scenes, and the whole drama is about 3,000 scenes. ”

“Director Wang and I are directing together, and there is no way to guarantee that every scene can be accurately and clearly explained to the actors how to perform each scene and what kind of scene is required. ”

“That's why I say that if the acting is NG and the work cannot be finished on time, it is not the actor's fault, but the director's reasons are also involved. "After Cao Gong finished speaking, everyone understood.

From this, we can see that Cao Gong is really a person who is very familiar with the profession of director.

If he is not very familiar with it, how can he explain it so clearly.

"Hehe, there are still many fans and friends who call for you to direct the new version of "Breaking the Sky". "

Meng Ziyi's reminder made Cao Gong helpless: "Forget it! Wait until "Perfect World" is broadcast and everyone is not disappointed. I won't agree now."

"That is to say, if "Perfect World" is broadcast at that time, everyone has a high evaluation of the works you directed and recognizes your directing ability, then will you agree to direct "Breaking the Sky"? "

"Hmm~" Cao Gong pondered for a moment about this question: "It's hard to say."

"Why?" An audience member asked anxiously.

"Hehe, some audience members can't wait and ask Cao Gong why? "Teacher He reminded with a smile.

"Because it depends on whether the actors agree to act in it. If I were to direct it, I would definitelyI will definitely choose the actors I personally think are suitable, but if these actors' schedules are not suitable, or if they feel that they don't want to act in costume dramas, then I will definitely not direct them. "

"Among them, if Reba doesn't play the role of Medusa, the soul of the whole drama, then it doesn't matter who directs or who plays it, because in my opinion, besides Reba, there is another female star in our circle who is the second most perfect for Medusa. "

"Sister Meng played very well, her appearance is online, and her figure is tall and hot enough. "

"But the reason why Sister Meng is not as good as Reba in playing Medusa is that Sister Meng does not have an exotic temperament. "

"Reba has a strong exotic temperament, so she is the most suitable. ” (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Cao Gong’s comments made Meng Ziyi nod in agreement.

Even the audience felt the same way, as long as they had read the novel.

Those who have read the novel and watched the TV series know that Meng Ziyi does not fit the role of Medusa.

She is beautiful, and her figure is hot and tall.

Meng Ziyi’s figure is completely comparable to Medusa, but her appearance and temperament are not good.

But even so, in the live-action version, Sister Meng is the only amazing praise point of the TV series.

Otherwise, everyone else would be complained.

“Haha~ Can you tell me?” Wang Chu asked Cao Gong with a smile.

“What are you talking about?” Cao Gong understood immediately and said.

“Oh, it’s not finished yet? "Wang Chuanxi suddenly said, leaving everyone confused.

"It's ready, but it hasn't been released yet." Cao Gong smiled and admitted that it was ready.

"It's ready? So fast?" Even Meng Ziyi didn't expect that it was ready.

This sudden statement made everyone very strange. What was it talking about?

"Can I ask? What to make?" Wang Hedi didn't understand what they were talking about.

"Hehe, two or three months ago, Reba cosplayed Queen Medusa. Do you still remember it?"[]

The audience at the scene all remembered that Dilireba did cosplay Queen Medusa at that time.

When I saw the photos at that time, I was amazed.

"Remember it. "Wang Hedi answered stupidly.

"Actually, after cosplaying Medusa, Cao Gong felt that it would be a waste of the custom-made Medusa costume if he just cosplayed, so he had an idea and decided to shoot a simple special episode. Because he was filming "Perfect World" at that time, he had the venue, equipment, and actors, so he filmed a 523 special episode at that time, right?"

Meng Ziyi's revelation excited the audience.

Special episode?

The last special episode was the special episode of "Perfect World"

That special episode was a big hit, and Zhao Liying's Yun Xi was directly enshrined as a god.

This time, Cao Gong personally directed and filmed a special episode of "Breaking the Sky"Special episode?

Many audiences were looking forward to it and were very excited because it was said that it had been produced.

"Hehe~" Hearing the shouts and cheers from the audience, Cao Gong smiled slightly.

When he looked at Liu Yifei beside him, Liu Yifei rolled her beautiful eyes and rolled her eyes at him.

At that time, he was also in a whim and suddenly decided to shoot it. He had no preparation before.

But even so, Cao Gong took a week to shoot this special episode.

"Brother-in-law!!! When will it be broadcast?" An audience member was excited at the scene.

"Hey, some audience fans asked you when it will be broadcast." Wang Chu smiled and conveyed.

"Tonight, I'll ask Tencent to update and release it in the evening. I'll hang up the phone later, and I'll send a Weibo to notify everyone." Since everyone has asked and it's been produced, let's release it.

Anyway, it's just a special episode, it's nothing, there's no need to talk about copyright fees or anything like that.

After hanging up the phone, Meng Ziyi handed the phone to her staff.

"It is said that this special episode, a total of two episodes, cost more than 40 million."

Meng Ziyi also took the initiative to explain that this special episode cost more than 20 million.

"It cost more than 40 million to produce a simple special episode?" Teacher He was also very surprised.

"Yes, it's pure post-production special effects costs, not including actor pay and shooting costs, the pure post-production special effects costs 40 million, one episode is 20 million."

"As for the actors, in fact, we just found some actors from "Perfect World" to cooperate with the shooting."

"It took a week to shoot in total, and it took three months of post-production to make special effects." Wang Chuyi also understood this. .
