Chapter 157: Director Shen, I Suggest You Make More Movies That The Audience Will Like To See.
Shen Lang drove to Hengdian Film and Television City and came to the filming location he rented with money.
An inconspicuous piece of vacant land and a few relatively retro buildings.
Shen Lang just shot a low-cost short video that was a remake of the novel.
It's not like Zhang Mou, who shoots big action scenes and invests tens of millions in big movies, so naturally he doesn't need to rent a large shooting location.
Dressing room, prop room, green room, basically everything needed for filming a movie is ready.
Coupled with Shen Lang's god-level talent as a director, it is more than enough to remake his popular novel.
"Director Shen, good morning!"
At this moment, a girl in ancient costume walked up to say hello in a warm and friendly manner.
Tang Yanyan, whom Shen Lang signed from Yuxing Agency, is the heroine of Shen Lang's drama, and she is also a slightly famous anchor on Douyin for her good looks.
Whether it was a starring role or a supporting role, when Shen Lang went to the agency to select people, he basically checked them with the eyes of God.
As long as the looks are good enough, the price is right, the figure is OK, the acting skills are up to standard, and there is no particularly serious black history, Shen Lang will readily sign a contract with them.
Just like this Tang Yanyan, although 30% of it is filler.
As long as it doesn't affect the appearance, it gives people the feeling of hitting someone with the ball, and Shen Lang won't care about it.
After briefly chatting with Tang Yanyan, Shen Lang chatted and socialized with employees in other positions to get to know each other, and talk about work matters by the way.
[Director Shen, I am Gu Tian, who plays the male protagonist Ye Fan. I have read the novel you wrote before. I didn’t expect to be able to play the male protagonist today. I was so happy that I didn’t sleep all night last night. 】
[Director Shen, in terms of clothing, I recommend choosing clothing that resembles the Tang Dynasty, which is more in line with the background and world view of the protagonist in your novel. 】
[Director Shen, I am a special effects artist. We met a few days ago. 】
[Director, I am a photographer. I found that the heroine and other female supporting actors are all in good shape. I suggest taking more pictures that the audience likes to see. Anyway, the review of short videos is not as strict as that of movies. I will remake short videos for other directors. It's like this all the time. 】
[Shen Lang: Well, I have some insights. You can pick out the key points and cut them out tonight, and let me review them first. 】
Before Shen Lang arrived, this group of people had privately inquired about the author and director of the remake of this novel.
Dong Fei, who is making a lot of money next door, secretly revealed that this young director seems to have a close relationship with Director Zhang Mou.
Naturally, they would not and would not dare to show off with this fledgling director.
In addition, Shen Lang had already perfected his chat skills, and in less than an hour,
There were nearly twenty staff members at the filming location, and everyone was polite to the young director, with enthusiasm mixed with respect.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, employees in various positions were already in place, and the actors arrived at the filming location on time.
Shen Lang called everyone together, held a simple meeting, and put forward his requirements.
After a moment of discussion, Shen Lang decisively asked everyone to mobilize and start filming the first episode.
"Come on, actors, get ready."
Shen Lang took the script, sat in front of the computer where the cameraman shot the first-person view, and gave an order: "First episode, first shot, first time, Action!"
As he patted, Shen Lang's expression gradually became serious.
The poor acting skills of these actors did not bring out half of what Shen Lang saw from the Eye of God.
The reason is also very simple. It is a low-cost short video, and Shen Lang is an unknown director.
Naturally, these actors didn't take it too seriously, and they didn't have the tension and seriousness of making a formal movie.
How could Shen Lang want these guys to waste their own money?
So, Shen Lang took the walkie-talkie and started to give instructions, and his tone became more and more aggressive, using swear words frequently, which made the actors blush.
[Female number two, can you please be more serious? You were knocked to the ground by the villain's sword, not anemic and dizzy. 】
[Who is that, you are an extra, you can make a mistake twice in one line, and you can’t even recite it by heart? 】
[Ye Fan, what’s the matter with you? What you’re holding is the Heaven-Breaking Divine Sword in the secret realm, not the branch used to cut rapeseed flowers. Can your expression be more passionate? 】
[Tang Yanyan, where are your breasts? I... Where are the breasts that the audience wants to see? I asked you to lie on your side when you lay down on the ground. Who can you show by lying on the ground and hiding it? 】
[Damn it, I have to scold you to do it, reshoot this scene! 】
.....
All the actors present, including employees in other positions, were stunned by Shen Lang's violent temper.
They didn't expect that the director, who was chatting and laughing with everyone just now, was so enthusiastic and sunny, and now he was scolding him so harshly, without showing any mercy at all.
As a result, the actors who had originally planned to do it perfunctorily began to take this low-cost short video seriously.
The actors and supporting actors who were about to appear were nervously memorizing their lines and practicing the moves they were about to perform next.
I was afraid that if I didn't perform well later, I would be affected by Shen Lang's anger.
There is no way, the director is the biggest, he still took the money and signed the contract.
If you dare to be a thorn in Shen Lang's head, it will be three times the liquidated damages.
Of course, the reason why everyone believed in Shen Lang was not because of his harsh insults, but because Shen Lang did have experience in directing and acting skills.
The people present were all from the film and television industry, and they could tell at a glance whether the director who led them was just showing off his skills.
Shen Lang's directing skills are very high, and everyone present can feel it.
With this level of directing at its peak, he doesn't look like a fledgling newcomer at all, but more like a seasoned tyrant on the set.
Under Shen Lang's encouragement and abuse, the actors' acting skills improved visibly, and the photographer's shooting techniques also improved significantly.
In addition, Shen Lang entered the filming location from time to time and taught several actors step by step how to film and how to speak lines with emotion.
The plot that was originally planned to be filmed at ten o'clock in the evening was successfully filmed before eight o'clock in the evening, and everyone began to call it a day with lingering fear.
Some thin-skinned actors have not yet come out of Shen Lang's shadow.
The expressions on their faces were wrinkled and their eyes were red, as if they were about to cry in the next second.
"Some people next door said that you are very fierce when filming. I thought you were joking."
Dong Fei, who came over to hang out, handed Shen Lang a cigarette and said with an annoyed smile: "Look at how much you scolded those girls."
"Why don't you want to make a good short video?"
Shen Lang took the cigarette and clamped it to his ears, then smiled and clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the employees.
"Everyone, please stop what you are doing. Today is the first day of our short video shooting. I have booked a few tables in Jumanlou to reward everyone for their hard work today."
"The whole building is full?!"
Everyone looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were obviously much happier. It was a high-end hotel with a per capita consumption of one thousand.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lang cheekily greeted and chatted with the staff with a smile.
He even chatted arm-in-arm with a few male actors without any pretense, without any of the violent energy during filming.
"Good boy, give me a punch first and then a candy. You know how to do it."
Dong Fei nodded slightly in approval. This guy didn't look like a new director at all.
