Global Movie Emperor

The feeling of living like a year is probably... I can't hold it in and want to go to the toilet, but I see that get out of class ends in fifteen minutes, I look at my watch on the bus and there are still three minutes to clock in at the company, or I am reviewing the script with Lu Ze, only to find that I still have There are more than thirty lines.

One week to review the script is enough for actors with acting experience and solid foundation. The rest just needs to be adjusted slowly on the set.

This is a very long process, ranging from a few months to half a year. This is related to personal strength, but it mostly depends on whether the actors who work with each other get along well. If they hate each other, how can they play each other? How about a good performance? But the cast of "Atonement" is somewhat different.

There is no crew without conflicts among the actors. Even in the director's crew with relatively loose management, they will form their own small gangs, which makes shooting more difficult. This situation will occur even in Mickey's crew. Even because of Mickey's character, many actors are resistant to this director who always attacks him personally and has a vicious mouth.

Fortunately, Lu Ze will mediate. For Lu Ze, the actors are convinced, and his persuasion can be listened to. Without Lu Ze, a gentle lobbyist, Mickey's crew may become a place where sparks always fly. Explosive arsenal, blow everyone up to the sky.

Only Fatini's crew really didn't have this situation. In just a few days, this group of actors became like a family, and they were just about to kowtow. There must be Fatini's intimidation factor. As a result, the internal conflicts at the actor level were not exposed, but he could only exert a suppressive effect. The real factor that made this group of actors fall in love with each other was that... there was a big devil within them.

Losers will always have subtle emotions with other losers, and that sense of powerlessness makes the losers naturally come together. This is the essence of the harmonious relationship between the cast and crew of "Atonement", because they themselves will feel... It turns out I'm such a happy person.

There is a saying that the warmer the place, the more enthusiastic people are, and the colder the place, the more ferocious and difficult it is to express their emotions. Whether the climate can affect the personality of everyone in the area, there seems to be no scientific way to prove this, but think about it. It still makes sense. For example, in Russia and the Nordic countries, people who don't know each other are relatively indifferent. But in countries like Brazil and Italy, what impression do they leave on the people of other countries?

Because of this, after these actors in Italy accepted Lu Ze's abuse, they would always meet up with a group of people to have a drink in a pub. Of course, they invariably excluded Lu Ze and Fatini, otherwise they would still How can I complain about how Lu Ze is doing today?

I have very tangled emotions. I want to work with Lu Ze so that I can learn something and look better on my resume, but my self-esteem can't bear this kind of blow. I can only drink some wine and cry with the strength of the wine. I really cry. Others also felt sad, lowering their heads and listening to a broken person crying and recounting his grievances. This was how they spent this week.

They are far less able to withstand stress than East Asians, but fortunately they like to express their feelings, and crying is not an embarrassing time. This allows them to get up on time and accept a new round of torture with a smile, until the day of filming. .

…

"I said, is it really okay if you don't go to the scene to see it?"

Lu Ze sat down on the lounge chair next to Fatini. He did not look at Fatini, but watched the operation of the automatic irrigation system on the lawn. When the water sprayed out from the nozzle, it was like a transparent curtain, aiming at the still The rising sun creates a beautiful rainbow.

Today, Fatini is dressed a bit coquettishly, wearing a white POLO shirt, white suit pants, and white driving shoes, also called bean shoes, standard Italian casual style.

Stirring the ice cubes in the juice in the cup, he put the straw in the corner of his mouth and took a sip with his mouth tilted. This mouth shape also seemed to express dissatisfaction with Lu Ze's words. The cold juice tasted great, and he sighed with satisfaction. , put down the cup, and then silently spread his hands to Lu Ze.

"Friend, this is Italy. We in Italy don't work in the morning. Waking up at 7 o'clock today is my limit, sir."

"Nonsense, which Italian doesn't go to work at nine o'clock? Get off work at six o'clock? Don't make excuses for your laziness. Besides, it's the first time you turn on the camera today. If you don't watch, you just let the assistant director do the work. Why don't they go to work in the afternoon? "

This is a very common phenomenon among European film crews. As long as they don't shoot early morning scenes, most of the filming starts after ten o'clock. For no other reason than because they can't get up. This kind of character is guaranteed to be bad when opening a breakfast restaurant in China, but it's also , it is really difficult for someone who can sit at the bar until midnight with a bottle of beer to go to work at nine in the morning.

But Lu Ze still can't accept it. Chinese directors are very hard-working. This is true. Whether it is for artistic creation or to get money to work early, no matter what the reason is, they are spurring them to work hard. On the contrary, it is the European directors. Look They are all lazy when they get up, and although they are serious and responsible when doing things, but if you ask them to get up early every day and work overtime to catch up on the work, I'm sorry, you can choose to change the director, but they can't do this job.

This is not a bad thing. Enjoying life and enjoying work is the best state. Lu Ze also admitted that, but he was used to working hard after all. This kind of pace of life made him very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Mickey was not like this. He was more like It’s a Chinese director who shoots desperately, using all the time that can be squeezed out to finish filming as soon as possible, and then it’s time to go on vacation, or go to the casino to lose all the profits he made from a movie, and then start filming to make money again, and this cycle continues.

"Stop talking, buddy~ We are human beings, not machines. We don't live to work! Life! Life friends! I'm too lazy to care about you... Wang, I really don't know how you can stand him in this state for more than ten years."

He covered his ears and stood up, complaining to Wang Zixuan that Lu Ze had to work hard with him. His life gave him the answer. He had never delayed business because he got up late, and he had never heard of anyone who couldn't survive because he didn't work overtime. Yes, he is a capitalist, but he wants to squeeze employees’ time to create profits? You see, these lazy employees in Italy are not used to you.

Wang Zixuan was holding a small fish tank aside and was changing the water. She bought five goldfish a few days ago, and three of them died. Only two small fish were left in the tank as if they were still, with only a few tails wagging. Proof that time is still moving.

Listening to Fatini's complaint, she could only smile, without nodding or shaking her head, or even saying anything. She walked slowly into the house holding the fish tank, went up to the second floor, and disappeared.

"Okay, I'll admit defeat. I shouldn't have come to chat with you so early in the morning. A workaholic, an autistic person, and a loser who hasn't finished his meal yet. He's boring. Let's go."

Fatini is a very outgoing person, just like the impression given to the outside world by his hometown. He likes to chat with friends, especially talking and laughing with beautiful women. This kind of love is even greater than what ordinary men expect to achieve after talking and laughing with beautiful women. , just purely likes to make friends to satisfy his spiritual enrichment, or that kind of purpose is not new to him, but this time, the friends he made seriously are indeed boring enough.

Shaking his head, after sitting for less than ten minutes, he shouted in disappointment and left. Just as the sports car roared outside the door, Lucas came out of the room with a toothpick in his mouth and looked at Lu Ze with a puzzled expression.

"What did he just say?"

"It's okay, he just went crazy suddenly. Don't worry about him. Would you like some fruit?"

"OK……"

Looking at Lucas's expression, Lu Ze could guess that he probably figured out who Fatini was scolding just now. At least he figured it out later. Thinking about it carefully, what would happen if he finally found out after such thorough questioning? Opposing Fatini? It was definitely not a good choice, so he could only pretend not to understand. Lu Ze didn't want to embarrass him here, so he brought the topic aside and gave him this step.

Lying on a chair and flipping through the latest issue of a fashion magazine, it is said that pleats have been a trend in the fashion circle recently, and it is also suitable for men. In order not to make himself look outdated, he can only catch up on his homework. As for trends, You don’t have to follow closely, but at least don’t be left behind or criticized. This is the basic quality of an artist in front of the lights.

"I don't remember you reading fashion magazines."

"I watch it occasionally, and I also need to understand something that is too popular. Have you sent the track laying drawings to the assistant director? I am always a little worried if I don't go to the set in advance to check it out."

Today's photographers not only need to master the professional skill of shooting technology, but also have the ability to draw track laying drawings, arrange the reserved positions of the lens in advance, and negotiate with the director. This requires the photographer to conduct on-site surveys and measurements long in advance. , create CAD top view and main view on the computer.

No matter what kind of shooting technique the director wants to use, the photographer must take into account the lens angle that the director is pursuing and design it. After repeated consultations with the director, he can produce pictures for the behind-the-scenes personnel who lay the track and install the shooting equipment.

Although this is a bit laborious, it can effectively reduce emergencies during shooting, shorten the equipment installation time before shooting, and most importantly, prevent the photographer from taking the blame.

You must know that many directors or big-name actors always like to shirk responsibility from the photographer. The lighting is not good, the camera switching is not in place, and the time is not right. There are always many reasons. Now do this This greatly reduces the possibility of taking the blame. Do you think the filming is not good? Didn't you ask me to take pictures like this?

Of course, there are also photographers who are lazy and unwilling to learn a new skill. They will use photos and aerial photos as reference to add lens presets. The effect is the same, but it is not as beautiful as drawing.

"How about... let's take a look on the spot? Anyway, it's just idle time."

Lu Ze was moved by Lucas' suggestion, which was not to say that Lucas was also a workaholic. He was quite normal, not lazy, nor overly diligent. He just managed to get through it, which led to him His spirit has always been a little tense, for fear that his team members will do the wrong thing and affect his own work. He wants to do everything by himself and make everything foolproof.

"Let's go, Zixuan, we're going to the set. You don't have to go there now. Just go there after you finish your meal in the afternoon. Let's go first."

Lu Ze was even more eager than Lucas. After all, he hadn't filmed in half a year. He had already begun to miss the crew. It was true to say that he loved working, but more specifically, he probably liked to forget himself and play the role of Only in this way can he feel that he will live longer and have a more colorful life than everyone else.
