This star is from the earth

Chapter 326 God and the Director

The reason why Han Jue said these things to Pei Qing was not simply because Pei Qing was one of the film's investors, but also because Pei Qing had a position in the crew and was very important.

For a color film, [controlling color] is a very important thing, and it runs through it all. From the director, art design, photographer, colorist...every link must be controlled, and none of them can be dispensed with.

In the crew of "Time and Space Traveler", Amanda, the head of the photography team, listened more to Pei Qing than to Han Jue for instructions on color control.

This is why Xia Yuan brought Pei Qing into the team instead of making her a nominal producer.

Color, composition, lighting, Pei Qing is a professional in this area, Han Jue is very self-aware, and occasionally makes suggestions, but is refuted by Pei Qing's straightforward words, Han Jue is not annoyed. He quietly shrunk himself down, studied honestly with notes, and attended lectures.

When Han Jue worked in his previous life, he knew that there would be a position called "Director of Photography" in the crew of the most advanced American drama. What this position does is ensure that every screenshot that is paused looks like a movie screenshot.

When it comes to movies, Pei Qing performs a similar function but is not satisfied with the [movie sense], she has great ambitions and hopes that every screenshot looks like a famous painting. She tried to make every screen can be directly used as a screensaver. And I have to say, Pei Qing is really amazing. At least these shots taken in the countryside are really as beautiful as landscape oil paintings when pulled out alone.

Han Jue admires people with strong professional ability.

Han Jue, who is good at learning, wanted to improve his visual aesthetics, so he asked Pei Qing to help him make a list of books.

It's just that Pei Qing disdains this, she told Han Jue: [The fastest way to cultivate the quality of visual art is to learn to draw. This is the same as improving music appreciation ability. Listening to a hundred concerts is not as good as learning a musical instrument. Seeing a hundred art exhibitions and a hundred picture albums is not as good as learning how to draw. 】

Then Pei Qing volunteered to teach Han Jue how to paint, but Han Jue said that he had too much to learn now and no time.

At that time, Pei Qing was very depressed.

But they are still good friends after all, and they are the kind of friends who can borrow money from each other.

So today when Pei Qing came to ask Han Jue about his plans, Han Jue said bluntly that he didn't care about the physical condition of the actors, he only cared about the work.

Han Jue regarded Pei Qing as a friend, and Pei Qing also regarded Han Jue as a friend, so Pei Qing saw Han Jueman's indifferent eyes and smile, and decided to say something.

"Aren't you afraid that Xia Yuan will come back to deal with you?" Pei Qing wrinkled his nose and said jokingly.

"I'm afraid," Han Jue said, "but I'm even more afraid that if I'm going to shoot now, I'll regret it countless times in the days to come."

Pei Qing didn't speak any more.

The two were quiet for a while, feeling the dampness on their faces together, looking at the distant mountain peaks in the mist and rain.

After a while, Pei Qing raised her elegant Erlang legs and raised her toes little by little. She said:

"When I was a child, I first learned to draw, to learn ink and wash. I just dipped in ink once for each stroke. I wished that every stroke would be full of ink without leaving gaps. At that time, I also learned western sketching, drawing the structural lines in black and white, and drawing shadows. I used all my strength to paint it black, so that the master would know "I can do it"... Later, when I got older, I looked at the exercises that I used too much force when I was a beginner, and I just thought it was funny. When the brush was almost dry Brush strokes are beautiful, so is the understated gray in the sketch, and the careless lines are also beautiful. The more flavorful the place, the more delicate it is. Beauty does not need to be deliberate, and it does not need to be sharp to remind everyone【Look here 】."

Han Jue listened quietly without interrupting. It's just his fingers that were originally tangled together due to anxiety. At this time, his hands are crossed on his lap, and an index finger is gently tapping the back of his hand.

This is listening, listening and meditating.

"Directors are not like our painters. It is enough for one person to compete with himself for a painting. The brush is there. I can only do whatever I want. Directors are not. Directors bring a large group of people together to complete the painting. One piece of work. When various problems arise, it is the director who unites everyone's strength to solve the problem together, instead of dragging everyone down a road without explanation."

Pei Qing turned to look at Han Jue, who stared blankly into the distance, but Pei Qing knew that Han Jue was listening.

"Movies are the art of compromise. You can't expect [perfection] to appear in movies." After saying this, Pei Qing helped Han Jue's shoulders to stand up and left the corner. Only Han Jue was left to sit there alone, looking at the distant mountains.

Having said all of this, it would not be beautiful to say more.

As Han Jue said just now, he is the director after all. A director is someone who can make the whole crew make mistakes even if they are wrong.

The rest time actually lasted more than ten minutes, but Han Jue was still holding the harmonica, sitting there in a daze, his back bleak.

Xiao Zhou wanted to remind Han Jue, but was stopped by Pei Qing.

After another seventeen minutes, Han Jue came back to his senses.

He looked back at the set, and all the people on the set who were secretly poking at him immediately turned around and pretended to be busy with something, whether it was the actors or the staff, they all looked like [You are late, I am ready Yes, you have no reason to scold me].

Han Jue smiled slightly, stood up, but did not go to the director's chair, but shouted: "Everyone, rest for another 20 minutes!"

Then he walked to Deputy Director Sun, who was doing hair maintenance on the ground with the old god, leaving behind a group of people looking at each other.

"Director Sun, I have an idea, can you help me?" Han Jue asked Deputy Director Sun.

Deputy Director Sun said with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't come to ask me."

Han Jue was a little embarrassed to hear that.

When it was time to shoot the wedding in the rain, Han Jue designed the sub-shots almost arbitrarily and executed them without discussing with Deputy Director Sun and the others.

Now this is the first and last chance to shoot this scene.

Han Jue felt ashamed that he woke up late, but Deputy Director Sun felt that it was not too late for Han Jue to wake up.

Deputy Director Sun's strength is inversely proportional to his hair volume. After carefully stuffing a few strands of hair back into the hat, Director Sun said kindly to Han Jue:

"I have been in the industry for so many years, and I have seen a lot of talented young people. They did odd jobs and learned a lot from the old director's errands, and they did learn a lot of skills, but almost none of them made it to the top. This is not what [craftsmanship] Instead of being as simple as [Aura], they see the great director design the lens in this way, and they will use it after learning it. Use this for this scene, and that for that scene. They will start to be lazy, and they will despise movies, thinking that making movies It’s just that, I no longer think about what belongs to me, so I gradually become mediocre and out of everyone. The scene you are shooting now actually has a bit of this flavor.”

Han Jue pursed his lips, and the muscles on his back tensed up somehow.

Han Jue grinned in embarrassment, then quickly took the pen and paper, and began to design a different shot: "Director Sun, if you use this here..."

Deputy Director Sun smiled, sat up straight, and discussed with Han Jue.

After some discussions, Han Jue gathered the main creative team and made new adjustments and division of labor.

The strange thing is that after receiving the task, everyone was so surprised that they felt happy. He didn't complain about the increase in tasks at all. Instead, he felt that this rhythm was the normal rhythm. It was abnormal for Han Jue, who was motionless and wasted to death on one shot before.

As the leader of a film crew, the change in Han Jue's aura was clearly felt by everyone. While everyone was busy coming and going, they even faintly felt that the dullness that was pressing on their bodies was loosened, and they could breathe.

Han Jue looked at Deputy Director Sun who was busy telling the actors where to go, Amanda who was discussing the layout of the plane with his subordinates, Jack who was seriously demonstrating with the heroine how to hold clothes to keep out the rain, and who was smiling while holding a thermos. The extremely kind Pei Qing... Han Jue suddenly felt as if something had been unloaded from his heart, and he was relieved for a while.

[Why does it have to be exactly the same as in memory? 】The more Han Jue thinks about it, the more amusing he feels.

After Han Jue was awakened by Pei Qing and Sun Dao successively, he finally realized that he had made a fool of himself. He finally understood that he could no longer cling to the pictures in his memory. It is impossible for the exact same movie to appear. Because this movie was destined to be different from the previous life from the moment Han Jue became the director.

With a thought, Han Jue took a raincoat and put it on his body. Under Xiao Zhou's surprised gaze, he walked into the rain and directed the staff to arrange the equipment.

After all the equipment was finished, Han Jue went back under the awning, wiped off the rain on his face, turned around and went to the place where the actors gathered, and said to these actors with a cheerful expression: "The previous performances are no problem. , Keep it up everyone! I suddenly thought of another inspiration just now, I hope to give it a try, and everyone will stick to it. After a while, everyone can relax a bit during the performance, and leave after shooting these few pieces. It doesn’t matter if the shooting is not good, the big deal Let’s shoot again next time!”

The actors looked at Han Jue, and although they didn't speak, they all felt a little more relaxed.

Han Jue walked up to Jenny and asked, "Is the fever serious? I'll ask my assistant to take you to the clinic in town."

Jenny refused, took the blanket off her shoulders, and said, "I'm fine!"

"I'm not blaming you, but if you're sick, you'd better not force it."

"I didn't force it. Don't look at my age, but in fact I have been exercising. It's just a cold, so don't bother." Jenny raised her head and chest to show Han Jue her health.

Han Jue saw that Jenny insisted, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, but if you feel uncomfortable at all, please remember to tell me. We can continue to shoot again next time."

"Thanks, I'm fine."

...

After adjustments, filming resumed for the wedding in the rain segment.

The roles of actors have not changed much, how they acted before, and how they act now.

But how disobedient Feng was before, how disobedient he is still now.

The silk scarf of a certain extra performer blew on the faces of the actors nearby, and the expressions of the two actors suddenly changed. Half an hour ago, Han Jue's request was [the silk scarf just blew onto his face], but Han Jue, who should have called [CUT], didn't.

Some actors who hadn't been filmed yet saw Han Jue laughing all of a sudden looking at the picture on the monitor screen.

Han Jue's smile didn't stop, and the pressure on the other actors suddenly dropped. So they packed lightly one by one, and continued the performance with a wonderful mentality.

Jenny appeared on the stage. Jenny was walking in the wind and rain. Halfway there, she was on the verge of falling. When she almost slipped, she subconsciously supported the actor next to her. However, Han Jue didn't call [CUT], but nodded in satisfaction. .

Such a signal is obvious.

[The director said to act as before, it was easy to act, and it turned out that it was really easy to act...]

Then all the actors let go of acting completely.

They drenched themselves in the rain, laughed, and ran.

"Very good! Passed!"

"But director, did I blow up my skirt too high just now?"

"It's okay, it's fun!"

...

"Okay! It's over!"

"Director, I broke my high heels just now, should I take another one?"

"No! That's the only way to be interesting!"

...

"Come on, come on, that was pretty good just now, change the seat and save one!"

"Director, I want to pee."

"... go!"

"..."

Han Jue seemed to "give up on himself", and took one after another with everyone laughing and joking. The scene that had been spent for several days without progress, suddenly progressed soaring at this moment.

But no one present felt that these clips were perfunctory.

While the smiles on everyone's faces hadn't completely subsided, Han Jue took everyone to the side of the villa to film the wedding party in the rain.

Everyone was wiping their hair with towels, drinking champagne, chatting and laughing in a relaxed manner, it was not difficult.

The canopy was also broken as promised, and the accumulated rainwater spilled all over the actors below. Everyone had never photographed this part before, but when they saw it now, they all laughed unscrupulously.

The canopy was pulled down covertly by the staff, and everyone was suddenly exposed to the rain, laughing and screaming to avoid the rain. It was a completely real cry and a completely real joy.

"Very good! Passed!"

...

When the sky darkened, all shooting tasks have been completed.

When the get off work was over, everyone thanked each other for their hard work after a long absence, returned to the hotel with laughter and a good mood, rested early, and waited for the transition tomorrow morning.

Han Jue returned to the hotel and checked the results with Deputy Director Sun.

Even though they watched the silent picture, they still felt the cheerful atmosphere, and they couldn't help smiling, brimming with good mood.

"Very good." Director Sun said with satisfaction.

"They acted well." Han Jue smiled, and then switched the screen back, intending to watch the episode just now.

Deputy Director Sun stroked his hair, looked at Han Jue, and muttered something with a smile. Then he made himself a cup of tea, followed by Han Jue, who was smiling, and watched today's shooting over and over again.

There are two kinds of professions in this world. Once you have been one, you will never quit for the rest of your life. They are God and Director.
