There were four directors in the Heavenly Dragon production team.
Ju Jueliang, Zhao Jian, Zhou Xiaowen, and Yu Min.
The four of them cooperated with each other.
Ju Jueliang was the junior brother of To Qifeng. He was mainly responsible for some of the scenes in the drama and was also a part-time scriptwriter to edit the script. Zhao Jian was the head of the martial arts scene, and he mainly put his wild ideas into practice. Zhou Xiaowen was the boss of the production team. After all, his qualifications and achievements were there. He drank tea every day and was more carefree than a god.
Apart from the three people above, there was only the executive director and nanny of the entire production team, Yu Min.
Putting aside their personalities, these four people were all top-notch good directors. Each of them had their own style. Fang Yun was not idle when there was no show. He followed behind them and learned the technique of taking a mirror.
After all, the end of an actor was the director.
At this moment, he was squatting behind Yu Min and blatantly stealing her teachings.
Yu Min was the only one out of the four directors who taught him seriously. He couldn't let her down.
"The shooting here should be gentler. The appearance of the hero in the wuxia drama should be quick and clean. If a beauty wants tenderness, it can also be reflected through the speed of the mirror. This kind of gentle advancement is more..."
Yu Min was the director who had the most sense of the camera among all the directors who made television dramas.
Take the scene where Xiaolongnu appeared in " The Condor Heroes " as an example.
Normally, the director of a TV drama would set the stage first to highlight the strength of Quan Zhen Sect. Then, the camera would turn to Xiao Longnu and let both sides enter the scene at the same time. By comparing the high and low, the scene would be torn apart to form a strong contrast and create a tense atmosphere.
And Yu Min insisted on adding a hint of beauty to this tense plot. Was her mother-in-law going to die? Yang Guo was going to be captured? None of it was important. All the scenes made way for the female lead. Moonlight, ribbons, gloves, and then a series of face-slapping to highlight the beauty of Xiao Longnu. The camera was slowed down and accompanied by BGM. It was a proper movie-style appearance.
If it wasn't for Feng Dapao at Huayi Entertainment, Yu Min would definitely have developed into a movie.
Yu Min took the shot while imparting her experience. The entire production team operated in an orderly manner without any obstructions. Looking at the other party's relaxed appearance, Fang Yun yearned for this chair more and more.
Yu Min was very good at telling stories, but from Fang Yun's perspective, his directing skills still needed to be improved.
After all, television dramas usually made money through the length of the episodes. In exchange for benefits, they would try their best to make the content more detailed so that they could complete more episodes.
However, with too many TV shots, the entire drama would become extremely trivial.
After learning from Yu Min for a long time, Fang Yun turned his attention to the only true god in the production team, Zhou Xiaowen.
The scenes of the Heavenly Dragon production team were shot at the same time.
The four directors divided the plot of land and finally cut the entire film together.
When it came to Zhou Xiaowen, he saw a scene that was on the level of a movie.
Clean and neat!
There was not a single extra shot in the entire scene. In the scene, Hu Jun and A'Zhu were fighting each other, pushing the gentle texture of the scene to the peak.
Fang Yun took out his notebook and recorded the connection and turning point of each shot.
He made a plan for himself.
Before 2008, he would gain a firm foothold and become famous. Ten years ago, he would leap to the top and welcome the great changes in the industry brought about by the next ten years. Ten years later, he would start to win awards. After he won the title of Virtue and Art, his wife and children would be warm.
However, the most difficult part was the transition from 2008 to 2010. Without a leading role in a movie, it was difficult to reach the top.
Ten years ago, there was no large-scale capital investment, and the entire Chinese industry was very divided. The Beijing and Northwest regions were the main film industry, the Shanghai region was the main TV series industry, and the Northeast region... He could not even use his own actors, so why would he dig up an outsider like Fang Yun?
They liked to look for actors in their own circles. At most, they would be the second male lead, and it would be difficult for them to get the lead role.
If no one invited him, he would shoot it himself. Fang Yun's mind was filled with excellent scripts, so he did not have to worry about not being able to make a name for himself.
In the Heavenly Dragon production team, if Yu Min was the most attentive director, then Zhou Xiaowen was the most magical director. Fang Yun came to learn and even had to serve tea part-time.
His casual nature came from his strength.
This person was also a buried fifth-generation director. Actually, it wasn't quite appropriate to say that he was buried. He was a relatively low-key person. After filming a commercial film like the Crazy Trilogy that had a good reputation and box office, he still focused on artistic films.
Then, they would film one and ban another…
The fifth-generation directors always had a sense of mission in their hearts. No matter how successful commercial films were, they still regarded literary films as their final destination. They played the anti-market game. They would shoot whatever people didn't like to watch. If they felt good, they would leave it for decades to come.
After all, if he had money, all he needed was a reputation.
Everyone knew the final result. Qin Song, which he had been preparing for six years, was banned, and he was depressed for a long time.
To be honest, it was really a waste of talent for someone of his level to film a TV series.
Before filming, a few key points were stated concisely, and the rest was up to the actors themselves. He nestled comfortably in the director's chair and waited for work to end. As long as he sat in his chair, the entire production team would be able to operate in an orderly manner.
While drinking tea, he could chat with Fang Yun. It was really relaxing.
Of course, Fang Yun's chatting was not to inherit his sense of mission, but to learn his shooting techniques.
It was rare to meet a famous director face to face. Zhou Xiaowen didn't keep it to himself. Seeing that this junior was really willing to learn, he patiently gave a few pointers.
He didn't go into the details and just answered all the questions.
"In this day and age, those who sing are trying their best to get into the production team, and those who act like to release albums. He had yet to figure out his own territory and was thinking about crossing worlds every day. Was it so easy to cross worlds? He wasn't afraid of pulling his balls if he took big steps.”
Although he reprimanded the industry for its chaos, his words also reminded Fang Yun.
Don't even think about acting. You can't do this job.
He had a good impression of Fang Yun, and it was just a good impression. After all, the two of them did not have much interaction. In his mind, Fang Yun had great potential and was very suitable for the role of a beast in human clothing. However, the position of director was beyond his reach.
"You're right." Fang Yun could only smile apologetically.
What else could he do? Could he go up and slap him twice?
He smiled apologetically on the surface, but he was secretly cursing in his heart. When I remake those movies and win awards and box office, I'll definitely be the first to call you to "congratulate".
Zhou Xiaowen couldn't hear Fang Yun's thoughts, so he only knew that he was listening. He nodded, revealing an expression that said that he was a promising child.
"As a director, you need to be nimble. You can't do it without a sense of the camera, a sense of the picture, lighting, composition, colors, background music, or editing. You have to know how to do all the messy things. A good actor might not necessarily be a good director, but a good director was definitely a good actor.”
Fang Yun nodded. The old man's words were rough but not rough.
All the popular directors nowadays were like this. Little Cannon had the acting skills of a Best Actor, and Old Moe had even won three Best Actor awards as an actor. Even if it was Director Xing Ye, he would act it out for everyone first before letting them imitate the cat.
A capable director's acting skills were definitely not bad. Even a director with no acting skills would be much better than the average person after watching the performances of the best actors and actresses under him every day.
With these directors as a benchmark, the directors were considered the clearest in the entertainment industry.
Actors nowadays were still relatively honest. There was no such famous saying as " 360 lines of work produce a director." Everyone respected the director industry very much and felt that they could not carry the banner.
Even if an actor had directed two movies, he would not dare to call himself a director.
At most, he would secretly add the title of a well-known director in the introduction of the search engine…
Fang Yun sighed. If he were to tell Zhou Xiaowen that even a third-rate author could control the camera and sweep the market with a lousy film, would he be furious?
