Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Chen Xiao sat in front of the monitor, rewatched the footage, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the director of photography,"Please remind the editor that this segment should be made in black and white, and color should be added gradually.""

"Okay, Director Chen, don't worry."

Chen Xiao just stood up when a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Director Chen!"

Looking back, three men wearing masks walked towards him.

Chen Xiao stepped forward with a smile,"Director Li, long time no see, how come you have time to come here today?"

Director Li joked,"I came here specially to congratulate you, the great director who won the Palme d'Or."

Chen Xiao smiled faintly,"Don't make fun of me. Let's go to the lounge and sit down."

The morning shooting ended here, and they happened to be free.

The four of them walked towards a small building with a teahouse plaque on the old street.

Director Li smiled kindly, stopped joking, and got to the point.

The main reason he came here today was to see the shooting situation.

"By the way, I just heard you say that it should be done in black and white, and the beginning can be done in retro colors, right? Why in black and white?"

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and replied,"Not only in black and white, from the perspective of the whole film, gray, blue and red are used with emphasis. This film has many metaphors and the colors are rich in meaning. It is really not clear in a few words. You wait and see the finished film."

Director Li raised his eyebrows.

First, he said that the colors were used better, but he didn't tell him. Isn't this just teasing people's appetite? He was curious in the first place, and now he is even more itchy.

But as a dignified director, he can't beg others to say it if they don't say it.

Director Li sighed silently and suppressed his curiosity.

At this moment, the secretary walked to Chen Xiao with a smile,"Director Chen, just introduce it a little bit, just at the beginning, I'm really curious."

Director Li's eyes lit up.

Oh, this secretary was really right!

"Okay, let's sit down and talk."

Chen Xiao opened the door of the teahouse.

This teahouse will not be used for filming for the time being, so it has been converted into a director's lounge.

After entering the door, the four of them sat around a wooden table.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said,"Colors are related to the times and the mood of the characters. Using black and white at the beginning represents the gloom of the times. In addition, Cheng Dieyi's life is like a play. It was only after he joined the troupe that he began to live a life like a play, so black and white were used before he entered the troupe."

Director Li nodded.

The design is really clever!

The action of wiping the face makeup and the visual color, just from these two points, it can be predicted that this opera promotional video will definitely be a hit and bring Peking opera to thousands of audiences.

Chen Xiao continued,"Of course, this is just my idea. The audience will definitely read more meanings, so let them explain it. After all, creation does not stop at the birth of the work, but will continue its vitality in the audience's explanation."

Director Li nodded in agreement, turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Chen Xiao, what did you study in college?"

"Advertisement"

"But you just talked about literary theory, right?"

Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly,"Well, thanks to... public courses! I took Chinese courses in college."

"So that's how it is. It seems that the quality of public courses in universities is pretty good now."

Secretary He curled his lips secretly.

Is this true?

He also took calculus when he was a freshman many years ago. How come he forgot it all after a vacation?

Just then, a man came in through the door and went straight to Chen Xiao,"Director Chen, you are here, I was just about to look for you."

Chen Xiao turned around and saw that it was the assistant director,"What's wrong?"

"The young actors have discussed it, and all 20 actors can be naked tonight when filming the troupe sleeping scene."

Director Li heard this, his temples throbbed.

Naked?

He immediately raised his hand,"Wait, why do they have to be naked? Can't they wear clothes to film a troupe scene?"

The country has been very strict in this regard recently.

Hearing the word"naked" gives him a headache.

Chen Xiao actually let 20 people be naked?

Dancing on the bottom line?

Chen Xiao explained:"20 boys, shoot the upper body and the whole body from behind, there will be nothing to review."

Director Li rubbed his temples,"Can't they wear clothes?"

Chen Xiao shook his head,"Naked is to reflect animal characteristics. In that scene, more than 20 young actors were naked, huddled together like monkeys, reflecting their miserable lives.……"

He didn't finish, but just sighed.

Li Zhiming understood instantly, and his face became a little heavy. He lived like a human.

The children of that era were miserable.

He sighed and said,"The upper body and the back are no problem, shoot it."

"Well, we will film it well, don't worry."

Li Zhiming looked out the door.

Like a monkey...

By the way, wasn't the show just now a monkey show?

He looked at Chen Xiao in surprise.

Could it be that the image of"monkey" was also specially designed?

How much connotation does this film have?

……

The filming went smoothly.

Soon, 12 days passed.

One-third of the script had been filmed.

Early in the morning, the sun shone into the actors' lounge through the old-fashioned windows of the old street.

Zhang Fengyi sat on the sofa, covered with a cotton blanket, and rubbed his eyebrows.

Today we will shoot the scene where Master Yuan Si and Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi meet for the first time backstage.

There are still fifteen minutes before the filming starts, so let's take a break first.

He picked up his mobile phone and opened the financial management software to take a look.

Damn, it's all green.

The fund has fallen again, so annoying.

Dong Dong.

There was a knock at the door of the lounge.

Zhang Fengyi said a little irritably:"Come in!"

The door opened, and an old man with half white hair walked in.

Zhang Fengyi turned his head to see who was coming, and quickly sorted out his emotions. He smiled and said,"Oh, Master!"

The person who came was the national first-class actor Lv Qi, who played Master Guan in the play, Duan Xiaolou's master

"Good morning, Feng Yi"

"Why are you here? You don't have any movies recently, do you?"

Lü Qi sat on another sofa, smiled and shook his head,"No movies, I'm free and come here to take a stroll and get a box lunch."

Zhang Fengyi poured a cup of coffee and placed it in front of him.

Lü Qi looked at him and frowned slightly.

Just now when he passed by Zhang Guorong's lounge, he saw that Zhang Guorong had already put on his costume.

And Fengyi, now still wearing a white jacket and old-fashioned trousers.

When he came in, he was lying on the sofa with a depressed look on his face, and when he said"come in", he was obviously in a bad mood. He must have had a quarrel with someone.

He was so quarreled that he didn't put on makeup. Could it be with the director?

Director Chen has a good attitude in front of the old actors. Maybe he is a little arrogant to his peers?

This is normal. After all, he is a director who won the Palme d'Or.

""Fengyi, are you having a quarrel with Director Chen? Just listen to what he says to you. Think about Leo. He is strict for your own good."

Zhang Fengyi was a little confused by the earnest advice.

He put down his coffee and asked doubtfully,"We are not having a quarrel. Director Chen is a nice person. Are there any rumors outside?"

Lu Qi was stunned."No quarrel? I saw that you were in a bad mood and hadn't put on makeup yet, so I thought something was wrong between you two."

Zhang Fengyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Teacher Lu was really good at using his imagination.
