Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 354: Kong Mengmeng

"Turn to the right on machine number two, and the lights will be warmed up by two degrees!"

"What about the props?"

"Do you use wilted green onions?"

"All changed!"

Su Ze watched Kong Sheng busy. The green onion was just bought in the morning, and it had to be replaced because it was a little dehydrated after cutting it early. That's right, this is the power of detail control.

If you count all the directors you have worked with since your debut, Su Ze admires Kong Sheng the most. There is no way, there are too many things to learn.

Both of them are Virgos, and both have an almost paranoid pursuit of details, but Su Ze is acting, and Kong Sheng is showing it in his works.

In a simple shot, the small flowering plant on the wooden cabinet just matches the crescent white color of Hu Xiangjun's cheongsam, instantly creating a finishing touch.

An anti-Japanese drama like Battle of Changsha can become "Bite of the Tongue" + "Late Night Canteen" in minutes.The wontons sold by hawkers in the alley late at night are cooked in a proper clear soup, and then there is a handful of chopped green onions.

If one word is used to describe the feeling of Kong Sheng's picture, it should be...

texture.

Yes, a seemingly simple and unintentional sense of sophistication produced by careful arrangement.

The motivation of the director is far more than that. In Su Ze's eyes, his skill in characterization is second to none in China.

Generally, if the heroine is about to leave the heroine in TV dramas, they will choose routines such as hugging tightly or staring affectionately, but Lao Kong has created a set of expressions of his own.

Yu Wen, who was obviously greedy for the palm of his sweetheart, had no choice but to force her to leave him.There is no meeting of eyes, and all the feelings are explained with only one pair of hands.

Su Ze likes this restrained expression very much, it is far more contagious than the enthusiastic release.When the two finally parted ways, they did not choose to quarrel fiercely. Instead, they used opposite orientations to imply the opposition between the two, which made the characters change in distance and look more layered.

Last year, I was dissatisfied with the environment when I took pictures of mountains and seas, so I forcibly rebuilt a Xiguhai.It’s not the first time that Kong has done this kind of thing. When he was filming his parents’ love, he couldn’t find a fishing village suitable for filming.

Looking at him holding the hand stove for heating in his hand, the props left behind from the Langya Bang.I heard from the executive director that at that time Brother Hu was holding the charcoal inside, which was the most traditional kind.

In the Hengdian filming location, which crew would be behind Kong Sheng's team?

Just take a vacation!

The other production crews came in and simply set up the scene for a few days to shoot and then left. When they came in, they had to redecorate and do a lot of work before shooting.

A few days ago, the 10-minute siege scene was filmed for seven days!

All the military uniforms I wear are custom-made by an old tailor shop, and there are several sets for each person, and one set costs thousands.

These are okay, I heard that the clothes Liu Tao wears in Ode to Joy must be top-notch brands, in order to save some money for the crew, she has to pay for the rest of the clothes herself?

The only one who can force the national daughter-in-law to this level is Lao Kong.

What Su Ze admired the most was the director's ability to train the actors, not only the leading roles, but even the supporting roles and even Kong Sheng were willing to take the time to teach them a little bit.

In today's student parade game, dozens of people held slogans and everyone moved differently, all of which were designed by him.

I often brainstorm on the set and bring everyone together for meetings. Everyone has the right to speak and everyone can express their opinions.

If there is a situation of forgetting words and laughing, if Xin Yukun will seriously say "[-] fine", but when he meets Kong Mengmeng, he will laugh with you, and if he disagrees with him, he will play tricks.

Yang Zi, who has always been lively and talkative, is not his opponent, can you believe it?

But Su Ze knew that his jokes were not just to kill time, and every time he was funny, he just wanted to collide with better creations on the spot.

Well-intentioned!

Having worked with him twice, Su Ze understands that in his eyes, the actor's attitude comes first, as long as you have the heart to do it well, everything else is fine.

will not?

I can teach by hand!
Jin Dong was an unknown young actor when he was filming The Pretender, and he didn't even have a team manager, so Lao Kong still chose him to play the big brother.

Later, he was signed by Tencent to act in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". In order to make Jin Dong, who had just recovered, go further, he even accepted the filming of an online drama as a gift.

In director Kong's play, everyone doesn't have to think about anything other than acting well, not to mention the pay.

Look at Chen Baoguo, an old actor who signed a two-month contract and filmed for three months, and never mentioned the matter of extra money.

This is the pride of a real director and a real actor. The sense of accomplishment of making a good film cannot be bought with money.

Su Ze couldn't help but ask Lao Kong a question: What does the sun at noon mean?
Old Kong Mei replied complacently: The sun at noon is bright and warm, dazzling but magnanimous.The former is talking about our artistic ideals, while the latter is talking about our artistic creation.

Su Ze raised his thumb, pretending to be aggressive.

"Hey, what do you think is the most powerful thing about Lao Kong?" Yang Zi asked Su Ze during the break.We have been very familiar with each other for two months, and we don't call each other by name all day long.

"The script has never been out of control." Su Ze said casually: "As a director who was born as a photographer, beautiful composition is only the basic operation."

"What do you mean?" Yang Zi was puzzled.

"Not out of control means that the logic of the story is smooth, there are no major loopholes, and you will not make a mystery to tell a novel story, and you will not make a story that everyone can't understand in order to show that you are different."

Su Ze couldn't help but think of someone, Chen Zhengdao.

"Well, it makes sense." Yang Zi sat without image, biting an apple and muttering: "I think the TV series he shoots are very upright, the characters are very attractive, there is not so much intrigue, and it is very comfortable to watch."

Su Ze nodded, this is Kong Sheng's biggest trump card.Sunny and generous, never going to extremes, neither looking at life with a gloomy perspective because of the dark side of society, nor hiding the complexity of the world and human nature just to sing praises.

His shots always try to portray each character with good intentions, letting the audience know the last resort and difficulty of each character.

His point of view has never been looking down on all living beings, nor looking up at the powerful, but has always been looking down.Although life is full of thorns, we still have to sing forward.

Of course, no matter how powerful a person is, there are also shortcomings, such as lack of marketization, which must be compensated by the old partner Hou Hongliang through careful selection of scripts that meet the needs of the market, selection of actors with a balance between traffic and acting skills, and precise marketing.

Then the rhythm is a bit slow, and I like to foreshadow too much. If the audience can't follow into the play, it will be quite discouraging.

No matter whether the five hundred is obviously stronger in this respect.

Even Lao Kong himself said that he can't make suspense films, and he can't play things that are too brain-intensive.
