Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Zeng Wei, under the guidance of the staff, came to a studio.

There was a huge water tank in the studio. Standing outside the door, you could hear the sound of water splashing.

At the entrance of the studio.

Five or six people were packing up props.

A man stood in the corner smoking, as if he was worried, and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

Zeng Wei recognized him, he was a famous makeup artist.

Now he is the makeup boss of the crew, and he is in charge of makeup and hairstyle.

Everyone noticed Zeng Wei and came to greet him.

After a few greetings, Zeng Wei wondered,"Why are the makeup team here? Don't they need to touch up their makeup?"

The makeup boss whispered,"Today we are shooting the scene of Jack and Rose's life and death separation in the ice water. Director Chen feels that Wen Si is not in a good mood, so he is training him." Zeng Wei was stunned and asked back,"You said, Director Chen 'trained' Wen Si?"

He subconsciously emphasized the word"training".

You know, training is not about giving instructions.

Training actors means teaching according to their aptitude, being able to identify the different characteristics of actors, and playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses.

This kind of thing may not be something that even an old director with more than ten years of experience can do.

A diamond company employee who is just over 20 years old is training actors? And he is training a popular star.

Is this a joke?

It is more like giving random advice.

However, the makeup boss actually nodded seriously and said with admiration:

"Yes, Director Chen is really awesome!"

"Take Xiao Li for example, before Director Chen talked about the play, he was Leo, and after Director Chen talked about the play, he was Jack!"

"I think Director Chen is a natural director. Even the frozen makeup for the scene in the water was his idea."

"Mr. Zeng, you don't know that only half a month has passed, and all the departments of the crew admire him very much."

"Even the hot-tempered photography director who had just arrived was very respectful to him, and he was bragging to us behind our backs that he would definitely win the photography award this year and show off in front of Cai Ji. Zeng

Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and took a breath of cold air.

Impossible?

A newcomer in his twenties, in just two weeks, made the actors and all departments convinced and even respectful to him? He talked about the actors directly as roles?

Why don't you say that he knew how to act since he was born?!

But... this makeup boss is an old acquaintance, with a steady personality, not like a flatterer.

Could it be that this young director is really a genius?

Just as he was thinking, a familiar voice came from the side.

Looking back, he saw a man with a big backcombed hair, wearing a gray evening suit, holding a violin in his hand, greeting the people around him.

""Qiao Sen!" Zeng Wei raised his voice and shouted.

Qiao Sen's eyes lit up when he saw him and he walked over."Brother Zeng, you are here"

"Sit down. Long time no see. Do you have a part today?"

Qiao Sen was his junior fellow student and they belonged to the same company, so they had a good relationship.

He knew that Qiao Sen played the role of a band conductor in this play.

Seeing that he was dressed like a musician and holding a violin, he probably would start filming soon, so he asked casually.

However, as soon as he said this, the makeup boss next to him winked at him.

Zeng Wei was stunned.

What happened? Did something go wrong?

Did he have a quarrel with the director?

Qiao Sen smiled awkwardly, sighed lightly, and explained:

"Last night, we filmed the band playing before the cruise ship sank."

"Director Chen said that my emotions were not right, either too calm or too panicky"

"I NGed it more than a dozen times, and finally just skipped this scene, so I can come back and think about it carefully."

"I'm going to change my clothes today and go to the deck to get a feel for it."

Zeng Wei touched his chin and was about to help him think of a solution.

Qiao Sen forced a smile and continued,"But don't worry, Senior Brother."

"Last night, Director Chen talked to me for almost an hour after filming."

"He told me about the band standing in the midst of the fleeing crowd, their sadness, sense of mission, and grace in the face of despair."

"Combined with each other, he demonstrated to me"

"I understand a lot"

"I'll go to the boat to get a feel for it later, and it should be almost there."

Zeng Wei's face became serious, and he looked at the door of the studio in disbelief.

Before entering the film and television city, he thought that Chen Xiao's"good at directing actors" was just a compliment.

But now, with the double proof of the makeup boss and Qiao Sen, he suddenly understood.

This young man who has just entered the industry may really be able to train actors and do things that many old directors can't do!

But how can he believe it if he doesn't see it with his own eyes?

He has to go and see.

The scene in the swimming pool is inconvenient because of too many props. Wait for a suitable scene.

Zeng Wei thought for a moment, tilted his head and asked,"Are you filming today?"

"Yeah, at night."

"I'll go and have a look too. My character is just like the band, calmly facing death, maybe going to listen will give me some inspiration."

Qiao Sen was shocked.

The movie king didn't rest at night to watch Director Chen's movie?

But looking at his serious-looking senior, he didn't say much and nodded in agreement.

……

Across the door, inside the studio.

A green screen hangs on the inside of the huge 200-square-meter swimming pool.

Cameras are mounted on the outside and on both sides.

This afternoon, we filmed the scene where people fell into the sea and Jack and Rose died after the Titanic sank.

Seventy or eighty extras wore life jackets and sat around the edge of the swimming pool.

They had already put on"frozen makeup" and had a layer of frost-like crystals on their faces.

Four of the extras looked around excitedly.

They were originally crew members, and after the film and television city was built on the beach, they worked part-time as extras.

They have seen many celebrities, and they looked around excitedly because the crew was actually filming the sea in a 200-square-meter swimming pool.

They were all curious about what the film would look like.

In the water, a brown-red spot floated on the surface.

Wins, who played Rose, was lying on a wooden board.

Chen Xiao stood in the water and explained the play to her

"Vince, your reaction is so bland."

"You have very few lines, but you need to coordinate with Jack's lines and react"

"He is urging you to live and giving you hope to live."

"You need to maintain your tired and desperate demeanor while gradually increasing your hope. After Leo says that winning the boat ticket is the luckiest thing in his life, you also need to show that you are touched."

"Try to experience it again."

Wens nodded, trying to get into the role as Chen Xiao said.

In the past, she mostly played the role of a rich girl in idol dramas or serious dramas.

Whether it was joy, sadness, sweetness, or despair.

They all showed common, single emotions.

The depth of Ruth's role far exceeded the roles she had played before.

Especially the scene of parting with Jack, despair and hope, giving up and survival, reluctance and remembrance... multiple emotions, even opposite emotions, mixed together, the difficulty soared to the top.

For her, it was a great challenge.
