The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

After Fang Tao finally agreed to play the leading actor, the actors for most of the roles in "Jurassic Park" have been confirmed.

After another period of intense preparations, the shooting of Wang Wei's new film has begun!

Of course, the construction of the "Jurassic Park" studio is far from complete, but not all the shots are shot in the studio, and some simple sets or exterior shots can be shot now.

For example, the first scene of the filming of the crew——

Because of a small accident in Jurassic Park, the investors were about to withdraw their funds. The founders could only find the male and female protagonists of paleontology to visit and evaluate on the spot, and endorse the project;

The actor who had just dug up a dinosaur bone fossil refused, but the founder said that as compensation, he would fully fund their research;

The male protagonist felt that he really couldn't get away, and was about to refuse again, but was choked by the founder's sentence of "funding for three consecutive years". In the end, of course, it was "really fragrant".

——"Isn't this alluding to my thoughts?"

Fang Tao, the actor who played the leading role, said inwardly after finishing this part.

Well, it was just a slander, after all, he knew that the script had already been written.

This is the first time that Fang Tao has cooperated with such a young and promising director as Wang Wei.

Honestly...it just feels flat.

The director basically just sits behind the monitor and keeps yelling "cut" or "passed", and the first act is finished shooting.

This may have something to do with the fact that the shooting of the first act was not difficult at all - such a simple scene did not require any guidance, and mature actors like them just picked it up at will.

But soon, after the first transition, something unusual came.

The crew moved to a national protected park to film the scene where everyone entered Jurassic Park for the first time and saw real dinosaurs.

Of course, there are no dinosaurs right now, not even models, and they will only be synthesized by CG in the later stage.

"But you must have dinosaurs in your eyes, and you have an unbelievable scene in front of your eyes - first of all, a huge brachiosaurus walking leisurely on the grass..."

Wang Wei gave speeches to several lead actors before filming started.

Fang Tao nodded while listening.

He has long known, or is used to it, that when shooting this kind of sci-fi film, many shots have to be shot by the actor's own imagination.

For an acting school like him, this is actually not a problem.

"The big deal is just a few more NGs."

What is strange about him is another point——

"Didn't it mean that Wang Wei, as a director, seldom talks to actors?"

This is the information about Wang Wei's directing style that his agent collected for him, mainly interviews with some actors who have participated in his films before——

According to them, most directors, regardless of their level of directing, more or less like to talk to actors, but director Wang Wei seems to be an exception;
But it’s not that Wang Wei’s level is not enough, but he prefers to carefully design the details—such as the placement of props, the light and shadow effects of the shooting scene, etc., and the actors feel a kind of invisible guidance just by being in it. The pressure to play.

If it is true, this way of guiding actors into the play subtly is undoubtedly better than most directors.

"But what's going on now? Is it because the current shooting scene can't arrange details, and the director even changed his training style?"

Fang Tao kept slandering in his heart, feeling that he knew about loneliness in advance.

However, when the filming actually started——

He raised his head and took off his sunglasses in a panic; the heroine beside him also widened his eyes and couldn't help exclaiming; the others couldn't hide their shock as well, as if they really saw a huge brachiosaurus appearing in front of them...

"Card! It's over!"

Wang Wei, who was behind the monitor, passed this one quite satisfactorily.

"This group of actors performed really well. We were so lucky that we met them in good form at the beginning."

Standing next to the monitor, the assistant director Lao Xu also gave a thumbs up.

"It's not bad, but my new buff is very good." Wang Wei answered silently in his heart.

——Most of the actors are running in for the first time, and the initial shooting will be so smooth, in fact, to a large extent, it is the first application of the "primary performance training halo" buff to make contributions.

——"Performance Training Aura (Elementary): When the host is acting as a director to make a movie, wearing this aura can help actors quickly enter the performance state through lecturing."

Sure enough, among the skill buffs obtained, it was the one that he felt was the most practical to help the actor enter the play smoothly!

"But, what is the principle of this?"

Wang Wei wondered which actor to ask about his feelings.

……

"peace in the heart!"

If Fang Tao was asked, he would definitely give this answer.

——No matter how many slanders he had in his heart before the shooting, once the shooting started, his mind seemed to be swept away, only the performance remained.

No matter what he does, he can only perform at his best level if he has no other distractions; and he is not a pure rookie, as long as he can display his normal acting skills, he will be able to pass the test.

Fang Tao was not too surprised by his fiery state. What really surprised him was that all the actors who played with him were swaying freely during filming.

This is not normal.

In the past, it’s not that he hasn’t entered such a state, but unless it’s a solo performance, he rarely shoots one—because his state is good, it will highlight the poor state of the actors, and he meets a director who is more demanding , will be implicated in NG many times.

"Are all my partners monsters?"

——This is what Deng Xiaoli, who plays the heroine, wanted to ask.

And when the two asked each other, they showed the same strange expression.

"So, this state of successfully entering the play is not very common for you?"

"To be precise, it should be relatively rare." Deng Xiaoli said bluntly.

Deng Xiaoli was an actor recommended by Shen Zhenyi's agent, Yu Li, and it was not unreasonable for the latter to become more successful in the industry. At least, all the actors sent here in Dunhuang met the requirements of the crew.

Therefore, Deng Xiaoli has some acting skills, but she seldom enters this state when she is shooting freely.

But she pondered for a while, thinking of Shen Zhenyi under the same manager, she seemed to understand something——

"There is only one possibility. We still underestimated the director's ability to train his acting skills!"

It may be that Wang Wei is too young and too successful. For his directorship, most people only focus on box office results, number of awards, or strong narrative ability, which conceals his excellence in training actors.

The best case is undoubtedly that the participants are all commercial films in the pure sense, but their acting skills have been greatly tempered, and Shen Zhenyi even won the title of actress.

——Originally everyone recognized that her acting talent was outstanding, but now it seems that it is really uncertain how much Wang Wei's credit is in it.

And thinking of her long-term possession of a director who is so good at training people, even if Fang Tao is an actor who has no competition with her, he can't help being so damn jealous——

"It's so fucking Ouhuang!"
