Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

He sighed and said,"I was in a bad mood just now. The fund plummeted. I was really taken advantage of."

"So, why don't you put on makeup? Yu Ji is on stage, but Overlord is not?"

"Today's play is set backstage. After the performance, Duan Xiaolou had already removed his makeup, but Cheng Dieyi hadn't. This means that Dieyi hasn't finished the play yet, and thinks of herself as Yu Ji, while Duan Xiaolou has already finished the play. So Guo Rong needs to put on makeup, but I don't."

Lü Qi was slightly startled when he heard this, and then it dawned on him.

So that's it!

He was so focused on his role in the script that he almost forgot about it.

One is in the play, and the other is outside the play.

It's wonderful to use makeup to express the moods of the two!

Zhang Fengyi held the coffee cup in his hand, warmed his hands, and continued:"Director Chen is a very good person. It's November, and it's quite cold outside, but he does a lot of things himself, such as outdoor scenery. He is really good. Don't get me wrong."

Lü Qi nodded.

Some chief directors are like they are glued to their stools, and they let the executive directors run around.

It's really good to be able to do it yourself.���

……

Meanwhile, in the backstage dressing room of the theater,

Chen Xiao was indeed doing it himself, staring at the set.

He stood at the camera position and looked in the direction of the mirror.

In the shot that was taken a while later, Fourth Master Yuan came in and sat on the stool in front of the mirror.

In the mirror, he was sitting between Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi.

It meant that he was inserted between Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi.

Then the stool in front of the mirror needed to be placed accurately.

Chen Xiao stared at the camera and said to the staff of the props group:"Move it two centimeters to the left... OK, that's it, thank you for your hard work."

Fifteen minutes later, all the actors arrived.

Lu Qi, who came to"eat for free", also came to the scene to watch the excitement.

Generally speaking, irrelevant people need to leave the shooting site.

But he is a national first-class actor after all, and others are embarrassed to say anything if he stays here.

Soon, all departments were ready and the whole audience was quiet.

Click!

The clapperboard fell.

Chen Xiao whispered:"Action!"

In the monitor screen.

The wooden door of the dressing room was pushed open.

Fourth Master Yuan (Ge You) stood at the door, followed by his entourage and the theater owner.

Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou said in unison:"Fourth Master."

Fourth Master Yuan took off his hat and smiled slowly:"I have heard of you for a long time. You two are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Duan Xiaolou clasped his fists and greeted:"Fourth Master, thank you for your support." Fourth Master

Yuan walked into the room, walked to the chair in front of the mirror, raised his hand and wiped the King of Chu's clothes on the back of the chair, and pushed them to the ground.

His entourage moved the chair slightly.

Fourth Master Yuan sat down.

In the mirror behind him.

Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou stood side by side, and he happened to sit between the two.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao's mouth corners slightly raised.

Very good! The position is perfect.

Thinking of this, he continued to stare at the monitor, carefully observing the expressions of everyone on the scene.

Fourth Master Yuan's tone was steady and his movements were elegant."It's a bit abrupt, but it's a gift for meeting."

After speaking, he gestured to the entourage next to him. The entourage took a step forward with the gift box.

At the same time, Duan Xiaolou didn't care what he was saying at all. He took off his shirt and continued to change clothes

""Okay! Pass!" Chen Xiao shouted.

The crew quickly adjusted the camera position and took the next shot.

This time it cut to a close-up.

The shot was very short, showing Na Kun opening the gift and seeing it was a gorgeous hand mask. He sighed and said,"How can our Dieyi afford this?"

After this shot was taken, it was time to cut to a medium shot again.

Chen Xiao stared at the monitor and said,"Move the camera to the left, and then to the left."

Until he saw that only Master Yuan Si and Cheng Dieyi in the mirror behind him were left in the picture.

He looked at Zhang Guorong,"Guorong, take half a step to the rightOK！"

Okay, now Dieyi is framed by the mirror frame and the window frame in the mirror.

The mirror is the world in Fourth Master Yuan's heart.

Two frames, plus the wooden patterns on the window behind him.

It's like a birdcage.

Chen Xiao walked to the camera and said to Ge You,"Teacher Ge, let me remind you again. The next segment was shot based on your emotional tone. You only have Cheng Dieyi in your eyes, and you can't see Na Kun next to him. The same is true in the mirror we shot."

Ge You nodded,"Yeah, I'll remember that."

Yingda, who plays Na Kun, strolled over and said,"I might as well retreat to the side. Anyway, I can't be photographed."

"No, you have to stay." Chen Xiao turned around and stopped him,"Teacher Ge's performance is that there are two people in his field of vision, but his attention is all on Cheng Dieyi. If you leave, how can there be two people in his field of vision?"

Yingda shrugged and joked,"Okay, alas, I'm really not as good as the door frame, your spiritual background board."

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Lu Qi smiled and nodded.

Director Chen didn't even let go of such details. No wonder he won the Palme d'Or for his debut film. He is really crazy about details.

This"Farewell My Concubine" must also be a masterpiece!

Soon, the crew adjusted the camera position and the shooting continued

"Action!"

In the monitor screen,

Yuan Siye sat on the chair, staring at Cheng Dieyi with admiration and infatuation.

"The Farewell My Concubine scene has a long history and was originally derived from the old Kunqu opera"The Story of a Thousand Golds"."

"Many famous singers have failed in this performance, but your performance as Yu Ji, Boss Cheng, is almost perfect."

His eyes moved up and down, looking at Cheng Dieyi, with a playful smile on his face.

"Interesting."

He slowly turned his head and looked at the mirror behind him.

Duan Xiaolou, who was standing beside him, shook his clothes.

"OK, pass!" Chen Xiao said,"Continue to adjust the camera. Guo Rong, take another half step to the left and return to the previous position."

Lu Qi looked at the text version of the script that he had just asked for, frowned slightly, and whispered:"Director Chen, this is a mistake, right? Cheng Dieyi in the plot didn't move, right?"

Chen Xiao stood up and smiled,"Teacher Lu, it won't be a mistake. In the scene just now, the mirror behind Master Yuan Si was a reflection of his inner thoughts."

"Look," he pointed to the monitor screen and said,"In the mirror, Dieyi is framed. When he turns around, the image in the mirror will be blurred."

Lü Qi nodded,"Then why did you let him stand back?"

"In the next scene, when Fourth Master Yuan looked back at the mirror, he saw an objective scene. In the objective scene, Dieyi was not framed."

Lü Qi suddenly realized, straightened up and nodded.

But his frowning eyebrows were still not relaxed.

"You are too meticulous, who can tell?"

"It's really hard to see."

"Then why are you shooting like this?……"

"This is a psychological suggestion, just like when we use light, many viewers can't see the tricks, but we still have to use it."

"That's right."Lv Qi nodded.

That's right.

When the audience sees it, they will have a sudden realization.

Every time you watch it, you will gain new insights and have new experiences. It's really good.

Because the audience doesn't understand, you have to do subtraction. As you subtract, the movie loses its connotation.

Thinking of this, Lv Qi's eyes moved.

Isn't this similar to the current situation of Peking Opera?

Few people watch it, few people understand it, but it still needs to be sung.

Lv Qi looked at Chen Xiao.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Director Chen really has a lot of ideas.

Compared with commercial films, this film seems to be closer to an art film.

The purpose of commercial films is to make profits, invite popular stars, and cater to the public. The purpose of art films is mainly for entertainment and leisure.

Art films, on the other hand, focus more on expressing artistic concepts, pursuing exploration and innovation, and often contain deep emotional expressions of individuals or groups, social criticism or philosophical thinking.

Chen Xiao can make commercial films that cater to the masses, and he also has the thinking of art films.

Nowadays, there are endless shoddy TV series and movies in the film and television industry, which sometimes make people feel that they are not as good as ten or twenty years ago.

The appearance of Chen Xiao may really bring a big change to the film and television industry...

Lu Qi smiled with emotion and sat on a chair in the distance.

Soon, in front of the camera.

The story of the Republic of China continued.
