The Director's Road of Airflow

Under Lu Ming's supervision, the station sister who was lying on the tree deleted the Reuters picture secretly taken.

It's a pity that there are more than one station sisters who have traveled thousands of miles to Kunming with the crew. The agency auction of Reuters photos is not to accumulate pictures for a day and then sell them in one go. Every time they take a photo, they quickly give it to the main characters. Put a mosaic on your face, send it to Moments, and see which celebrity website is willing to buy the picture, and the highest price will win.

Long before Lu Ming found out about proxy filming, the Reuters photos of the crew of "Snowman" had been spread on the Internet in a small area.Until one or two KPI-only marketing accounts patrol the popular celebrity fandom and major forums, see related discussions, and repost the content, the popularity will really ferment.

"Brother who eats melons": The latest Reuters photo of the crew of "Snowman", what do you think of He Qiran's condition?This is Xiaohe's first movie, and fans must be looking forward to it.

[Reject Reuters, fans should not give this kind of marketing account enthusiasm, respect the fruits of He Qiran's labor, and when the film is officially released, go to the cinema to support Ranran's work. 】

[Who is the heroine photographed next to her?As if never seen. 】

[I heard that the heroine this time is a resource guy again, it seems that the boss of Guangying Entertainment is her uncle, and he made his debut directly in the movie, which is overwhelming. 】

[The marketing account re-edited Weibo, and posted a new picture, have you seen it?The side profile of the actor next to the male protagonist is so handsome, and it feels very familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere. 】

[Oh my god, are post-10s surfing the Internet now?Could it be that Lu Ming is also the tear of the times?The one you are talking about is Lu Ming, a former member of the Whirlwind Youth League, does anyone not know about this? 】

Since Lu Ming's face appeared in the Reuters photos, the focus of discussion among netizens has shifted.In addition to the hot search ""Snowman" He Qiran Reuters" bought by Haoyue Film and Television, there is also a hot search "Lu Ming" with a surge in natural search volume and slowly rising. There are only two words and no other related words.

"Don't Tell Mom" ​​has created a wave of enthusiasm in the domestic film and television circles, and has inspired the collision of opinions from all walks of life, but film lovers are in the minority, and Lu Ming has never appeared in the publicity period except for a CCTV live interview No, and I didn’t buy marketing for this graduation work.

In March, Lu Ming returned to New York to make final preparations for graduation, and returned to China in early May.

After two months of cooling down, Lu Ming still seemed a little strange to most audiences.

For real passers-by, this time when Lu Ming was on the hot search, they really felt: Lu Ming is back, and he is back with a more mature and upright posture.

When the focus of public opinion fell on Lu Ming, He Qiran's fans were a little unhappy.They suspected that Haoyue Film and Television deliberately let Lu Ming "suck blood" to take advantage of He Qiran's popularity, and use the popularity of its traffic artists to praise the newly signed new director.

"Sister Ai Cao" has disappeared from the forum for a long time, so long that the traffic fans have forgotten that there is such a number one person.

When He Qiran was a big fan of Lu Ming in Weibo circle of friends, he obviously didn't expect to be posted as a screenshot, causing a storm.

Facing the dry season of materials for a long time, while chasing the wall and waiting for Lu Ming to return, the wormwoods finally broke out in the face of such a blatant provocation.

The two sides began to kill each other on Weibo Daming Square, and conducted criticism under the Weibo where the marketing account moved fans to scold the battle.

The amazing thing is that the fans of He Qiran, who is popular in traffic, have not yet fanned the fans of the seniors who have been out of the circle for three years.It is true that Lu Ming's crowd is much larger, but few passers-by would be interested in this kind of fan scolding battle, and they would never pass by and see the friendship to give a thumbs up to the wormwood.

This can only show that the degree of long-term affection for cultivating fans of idols is indeed far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Lu Ming didn't know anything about the war on the Internet that broke out between him and He Qiran's fans. He just stood under the big sun in Yunnan's early summer, watching two young actors act, and tried his best to hold back his desire to let go. The urge to quit the stall reminded myself that I had already signed the contract, and it was useless to regret it now.

Just when Lu Ming went into battle again in person, demonstrating to He Qiran how to look and how to move properly, he received a call from the producer Zhang Jing.

"Lu Ming, is everything going well with your filming?"

Lu Ming straightened the peaked cap on his head and shifted his weight from his right foot to his left foot. "It's not going well, but there are many difficulties. I'm facing the difficulties and trying my best to overcome the disadvantages."

He more or less guessed what the producer was going to say next on the phone call. In the morning, when he had shot 10 times, he saw the worried expression of the assistant director Lao Li, and heard him say from time to time, "I think this It's almost there." Lu Ming expected that the producer would come to find him.

as predicted.

"Movies are an art, but not every movie pursues the perfection of lens expression. Some movies are made with the mission not to win awards, don't you think?"

Lu Ming didn't want to hear some euphemistic and highly suggestive words from Zhang Jing anymore, so he directly pointed out: "Old Zhang, I understand what you mean, you just want to say that this movie does not pursue any artistic achievements, as long as the final box office It’s enough to be a blockbuster, and the box office doesn’t have to be very high. If it can reach [-] million yuan, it’s enough to make a solid profit. This movie is the stepping stone for Lin Feifei to enter the entertainment circle, and He Qiran’s first stop for the big screen. No one cares about the integrity of the final work Whatever the sex is, that's about it."

"I know what you mean. I have already lowered the requirements, very low. I also let the two people obviously not be on the same channel. I also let it go, because the time is limited, a total of three months. I can't grind every scene slowly, and they may not be able to get the hang of it after spending time, I know that. I really can't relax the standards anymore. If this continues, the film will no longer be a movie, but a children's stage play. , extremely exaggerated, extremely pretentious, and will be scolded to death by the audience. You don’t want word of mouth, I want word of mouth, this is the second film I directed.”

Zhang Jing was somewhat embarrassed on the other end of the phone. When he signed the contract, he told Lu Ming that he wanted to make a designated film, but he didn't explain to him the biggest flaw in the film - two newcomers who knew nothing about acting. .Facing Lu Ming's complaints now, he has lost some confidence, but he still hasn't forgotten his original intention of making this call, "I also know your difficulties. But Lu Ming, you have to consider that the filming cycle of this movie is not long enough." Long. After it’s released, it’s not just relying on passers-by. He Qiran’s fans are also an important ticket warehouse. How much of his box office appeal as traffic can be seen based on this movie, which also determines how much the company will spend in the future. Continue to support him with all your strength."

"Old Zhang, I don't need you to explain this to me. I know better than you whether the fan board is reliable or not. Fans can't support the box office and word-of-mouth of a movie, and even the bloodiest fans can't do it." For such a low-budget movie, they can get you 2 million at the box office at most. In the future, when they control the review, they will write "2 million box office of a certain movie "Snowman"" as the actual performance in the small form to boast Blowing. But everyone knows in their hearts that a bad movie is a bad movie, and it’s useless to earn [-] million at the box office, and it may even bring you home with a Golden Broom Award, which is not worth the candle.”

Lu Ming is not an idealistic film youth who just graduated from film school and knows nothing about the market. He understands the operation logic of the flow economy better than these producers and investors. What will happen, I have a more accurate prediction than the producer, and the backlash of traffic is just an instant thing. The fans can praise you as high as you can, and they can make you fall badly.

He's not going to poke fun at his reputation as a director.

The acting skills of the leading actors will dissuade some audiences. This is almost a foregone conclusion. Lu Ming has no ability to find two newcomers who lack a basic understanding of acting and a basic sense of mission as actors in less than three months. The gateway to the show.

If all this was so easy, he wouldn't have been groping for three or four years before he found a sense of acting.

All Lu Ming can do is try his best to make his final work look normal, with a minimum of artistic pursuit and aesthetic bottom line as a filmmaker.

Lu Ming brought up the filming of the key plots of the movie, and spent a lot of time explaining the details of each scene to Lin Feifei and He Qiran, and demonstrated it to them in person, so that the acting teachers in the group could have a better understanding. Actively help them on the spot to liberate their nature and guide their emotions. When they are in a good state, start shooting as soon as possible. There are too many close-ups of their faces.

Try handheld shooting when shooting the environment, and add some ingenuity to the grasp of the environment switch. When the emotion is excessive, use the lens that has nothing to do with the main line of the story to set off the atmosphere, arouse the emotions of the audience, and let them immerse themselves in the context of the story as much as possible.

Lu Ming also adjusted the story line of the script, lengthening the length of the conflict between the heroine Chen Muyun and her mother, because the scene of emotional outbursts is easier for Lin Feifei, who has relatively big expressions and movements, and the character who plays the role of Chen Muyun's mother It is Guo Fang, the queen of Hundred Flowers, who is especially good at shaping small characters, and her acting is vivid and natural, with a breath of life.Driven by her, although Lin Feifei couldn't catch the scene she threw at her, she didn't go astray completely. It was much better than Lin Feifei and He Qiran misleading each other and laughing frequently.

In order to make the final movie better, Lu Ming re-shot a lot of long stories that were not originally included in the script. He left Kunming to go to some prefecture-level cities in Yunnan to collect scenes, and shot a lot of natural scenes for backup, accumulating materials for the post-production of the movie. If the roles of the hero and heroine are cut, there can still be the story line of the little character on top.

Sometimes Lin Feifei and He Qiran can't speak the long lines well no matter what, not only the emotions are not in place, but even the sentences are wrong.Lu Ming thought over and over again, the bottom line he couldn't break without dubbing in the movie, so he had to temporarily adjust the lines for these two people, and try to change the lines as much as possible for them to understand while retaining the character's emotions and dramatic tension.

Because the leading actor often dropped the line, Lu Ming had to adjust the shooting plan in real time, which increased a lot of workload and wasted a lot of time on correcting some meaningless problems.

When the filming was officially completed at the end of August, Lu Ming stood with the crew members, with a smile on his face. It seemed that there was nothing wrong, but he was really bitter.

Lu Ming vaguely expected that in order to bring this movie back above the passing line, he might need to cut down a lot of the male and female protagonists, reorganize the story frame, and present a final work that is completely different from the original script, which will inevitably weaken the Storytelling and plot integrity of the film.

The lesser of two evils, Lu Ming would rather cut a feature film into an anti-plot literary film than a bad commercial film with a decent box office in his list of works.
