This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 430 New Assistant Director (Monthly Ticket Plus 1237)
Assistant director, Ning Hao said he would come in three to five days, but in fact one came the next day.

"Rao Xiaozhi, he's at level 99 like me, but he's from the Central Academy of Drama, and he's currently..." Ning Hao looked at the person he introduced and said, "Don't be silent."

"I've been playing with drama recently... I've been a screenwriter and an actor, and recently I've been thinking about directing a small show." Rao Xiaozhi doesn't talk much.

It was mainly due to Ning Hao’s introduction to him.

"Drama..." Hao Yun immediately became interested, shook hands with the other party, and asked, "What kind of drama are you doing?"

He has always wanted to experience the stage of a drama, but he just couldn't spare the time.

I've been filming in the capital recently and suddenly have a lot more time.

The film has a dark tone, with some scenes being indoors and some being night scenes, which could not be shot when the light was too strong.

Anyway, the filming can be completed in two months, so Hao Yun is particularly relaxed.

When I heard that someone was going to perform a drama, I thought I could go and give it a try.

Others want to take advantage of him, but there is a high probability that they will also be taken advantage of by him.

"It's based on What's Your Name, by Luigi Pirandello. Pirandello is Italian..."

"I know Henry IV. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1934. When is your play good? I'll go and see it if I have a chance. Please take a seat, please take a seat!"

I just got more than a hundred attribute points from the opponent.

It’s not that Rao Xiaozhi is bad, but Hao Yun’s directing skills have improved by leaps and bounds in recent times, and he is no longer the same Wu Xia A’mon at the beginning.

What's more, Rao Xiaozhi hasn't even started yet, but he was able to help Hao Yun get more than 100 points. This is enough to show that he didn't mess around in school, and he will definitely see a huge improvement when he starts to practice later.

"It will take until the second half of the year. If you are interested in the dialogue drama, I can take you to watch the rehearsal process next time." Rao Xiaozhi was able to chat fluently with Hao Yun soon.

Because we have no lack of common language.

It feels like we met too late, and the more we talk, the more we get along.

"Your accent sounds familiar to me. Where are you from?" Hao Yun suddenly asked.

"I grew up in Xiangshui Village in the mountainous area of ​​Zunyi, and went to school in Tongzi County. The place where you filmed "Looking for the Gun" is not too far from us, but our dialect is more complicated, and there are actually quite big differences between the two dialects." Rao Xiaozhi came for the "interview" today, and naturally knew Hao Yun's resume well.

Hao Yun started out as a member of a group performance in Hengdian, starting with the smallest role and gradually working his way up to smaller roles.

While filming "Looking for the Gun", he met Jiang Wen, who took a fancy to him and accepted him as his disciple.

While acting, he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy with high scores.

Later, he suddenly announced that he wanted to be a director, and when everyone thought he was joking, he made a high-quality film like "Labyrinth of the Heart".

Others think that Jiang Wen took the photo for him.

But Rao Xiaozhi didn't think so. He also liked Jiang Wen and knew how arrogant Jiang Wen was.

If Hao Yun needed help from others to make his debut film, Jiang Wen would never favor him.

"I see. That period was truly unforgettable. What a pity..."

Unfortunately, things have changed and the crying Lu Yu has gradually faded away until he disappeared without a trace, while Hao Batian has become famous.

"Do we want to start shooting right away or wait a while?" Ning Hao interrupted them.

Although "Whiplash" is a small crew, there are still dozens of people. It is impossible for all of them to wait there for the director to finish chatting.

"Shoot, Brother Zhi, you start working today, 10,000 yuan for two months." Hao Yun decisively kept the man. What's there to complain about with just over a hundred points of director attributes?

"Okay! Director, just call me Xiaozhi." Rao Xiaozhi didn't expect the salary to be so high.

He works in the drama circle and only earns one or two hundred yuan for each performance, and the key is that he doesn't have performances every day.

"Whiplash" filmed the training of "Houhai Band" today.

The so-called Houhai Band is the ordinary band that the male protagonist first joined.

I chose a classroom with a spacious and well-lit space.

This scene is mainly a comparison with the "Expedition Band" by Teacher Cao Yuanzheng later.

"Okay, get ready and start right away. I believe everyone knows what to do. The band in the movie can be replaced at any time, and our movie is no exception. When I selected the cast, I chose actors who majored in acting, that is, everyone here. If you can't act well, there are plenty of top students from music schools who can replace you..."

Hao Yun's words were quite hurtful, and he used a bit of provocation.

But the effect is very good.

Young actors who graduated from professional schools are in a difficult situation. They don't want to play supporting roles where their faces don't show, as they think it is a waste of time. They can't get supporting roles with significant screen time, so they can only muddle through, neither high nor low.

Although the role given to Hao Yun by the crew does not have many scenes, at least he can show his face.

When you join a group in the future, you can fill it in your resume, and it will be a shining point.

Everyone was doing the preparations before the performance, tuning their instruments and so on, and there was also a couple there hugging and kissing each other.

This band is pretty lazy.

The camera language is very rich. Shen Yun looks at the couple and he is very envious, which drives him to confess to the heroine.

In addition, in this scene Hao Yun also wanted to express his position in the band.

He uses a simple detail to express the language of the lens.

When one person was asked to greet another person, Shen Yun, who was sitting between the two people, was ignored and even isolated.

Because of his obsession and dedication to music, he seems out of tune with others.

My classmates work too hard and this affects my ability to play badly. What should I do?
Work hard and strive for progress?

Why should I work so hard? Can't I just isolate him?

Of course, he has friends in the band too.

This character is played by Huang Bo, who used to be involved in music. His look today is very "rock".

His existence is mainly to highlight that the male protagonist is willing to sacrifice everything for playing drums in the end.

Give up love, give up friendship...

It is quite difficult to coordinate so many things into one scene.

Rao Xiaozhi didn't know what to do.

No one came to him to sign a contract or arrange work for him.

He could only stand there awkwardly and observe the situation of the crew.

Is that... Zhao Fei?
Rao Xiaozhi is from the directing department and has watched a professional interview with Zhao Fei, but he is still a little unsure.

Hao Yun actually asked Zhao Fei to take the photo.

So...luxurious.

What Ning Hao said was indeed right. Although Hao Yun is young, he can really achieve great things with the help of Jiang Wen.

"Xiaozhi, take a look at the storyboard first. I'll assign you tasks later." Ning Hao threw Hao Yun's storyboard manuscript to him and asked him to understand the movie first.

After flipping through a few pages, Rao Xiaozhi suddenly felt something was wrong.

Oh my god, this storyboard manuscript that is so detailed, vivid and full of artistic atmosphere, with details such as lighting and composition that are standard, turned out to be from Hao Yun.

No, it should be said that it was actually painted by Jiang Wen's apprentice.

There's something wrong between you master and disciple.

However, Rao Xiaozhi soon stopped dwelling on this strange thing; he was attracted by the script and the story.

It can be seen that Hao Yun's script carries great ambition.

This is a script that is aiming for awards.

The preparations over there are almost done, and we are basically starting to try shooting.

However, Hao Yun did not start. Instead, he called Rao Xiaozhi over, explained the camera language of this scene to him, and then asked Rao Xiaozhi to try it directly.

Damn, it’s so casual.

I just got here, and I haven't even finished reading the storyboard manuscript.

Although Rao Xiaozhi thought it was ridiculous, he had to be worthy of his monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, so he had to bite the bullet and do it.

Hao Yun was acting on camera, and Ning Hao was standing next to Zhao Fei and learning.

Ning Hao was also from the Photography Department of Beijing Film Academy. Zhao Fei was his direct senior. Meeting Zhao Fei was his greatest gain as an assistant director.

"Pass!" Rao Xiaozhi completed the last shot with a guilty conscience.

"Everyone, take a break. Let Brother Hao come and take a look." Hao Yun pulled Ning Hao and Rao Xiaozhi behind the monitor to study the scene that had just been filmed.

Out of more than a dozen shots, three of them needed to be re-shot.

Of course, to put it another way, with more than a dozen shots, most of them met the director's requirements. Rao Xiaozhi is still very impressive.

Hao Yun explained it to Rao Xiaozhi and re-shot these shots.

Some film wasted.

But it's not a big problem.

Hao Yun is very good at storyboard drawing and shoots strictly according to the storyboard. His use of film is completely different from that of his master.

He is very economical with film when making movies.

Unlike Jiang Wen, who used 48 feet of film when shooting "The Devils", it is said that the foreign actor took more than 100 takes to get the classic line in the film "Happy New Year, brother and sister-in-law" right.

For ordinary shots, Hao Yun can pass them after two or three takes.

Even if it is a little difficult and hard to get the hang of, he can still solve the problem within ten times.

"I'm going to hold a book signing event in the capital in a couple of days. I'll need you two to shoot some scenes. Please listen to Mr. Zhao Fei's advice."

The reason why Hao Yun trained Rao Xiaozhi was that he hoped he could occasionally be a hands-off boss.

This signing event is also for the purpose of promoting "Those Years". Movie promotion is a very long process. Some film producers like to do roadshows, which is really painful. They may have to travel to dozens of cities in just one or two months.

Unlike previous years, this time the signing event finally had a movie trailer released.
