The Director's Road of Airflow

The casting of other characters was quickly finalized. He Yaocheng agreed to join "Son of the Sea", and the heroine's parents also found old actors to play the role. The only candidate for the heroine, Lu Ming has not been finalized.

Lu Ming told the casting director exactly what he wanted, but there was no suitable candidate in the list he submitted.

Lu Ming is not a young man who doesn't know the basics of the entertainment industry and has just entered the industry. He knows very well that these people on the list in the newspaper are all newcomers touted by various companies, and they will participate in the 05 flower card battle in the future resource coffee.

A resourceful guy doesn't necessarily mean that his acting skills are bad. Lu Ming still intends not to judge his life by first impressions, and let these candidates participate in the audition, and check it himself.

At the audition scene, Lu Ming felt broken.He originally thought that it was normal for some of the resource cafes to have substandard acting skills, but there were always a few florets who were talented in acting and were studying majors.What he didn't expect was that those who came to the audition were not without basic acting skills and needed to be taught lines, eyes, and movements by hand; they were serious in acting routines, full of craftsmanship, and their acting skills were passable at first glance. Perfunctory.

Lu Ming is not discouraged. He believes that the acting skills of these carefully selected Xiaohua by the company are average. It may be because the company always considers appearance when it promotes stars. The company always chooses some outstanding appearance when it promotes newcomers. Acting talent is not the first consideration. conditions of.

When making movies, actors don’t have to be very beautiful. As long as they are good-looking and durable, and can withstand the camera’s face-to-face shooting, then it is considered a pass. Even if the facial features are a little unsatisfactory, with lighting, it can make up for it.

Lu Ming believes that there must be unseen gems waiting to be discovered that have not yet been favored by capital.

He first went back to his alma mater, Nortel, and after explaining his intentions, the teacher Liu who received him was very enthusiastic and took him to attend a professional class taught by a third-year student.

Lu Ming explained his purpose of returning to his alma mater this time during the class break, "Students may have heard about related news. I am preparing for the filming of the movie "Son of the Sea". The heroine Xu You has not yet been determined. The school also wants to see if there is a suitable candidate among the students here."

As soon as Lu Ming said these words, the girls in the audience actively signed up for the audition. The heroines who starred in Lu Ming's movies were all big names in the industry. It is a good resource for students. Once you grasp the opportunity, you will have a very high starting point for your debut.

Lu Ming was also looking forward to finding a suitable person, but during the audition process, the girls appeared on stage one by one, and Lu Ming still couldn't find a person who could play the role of Xu You in his mind.

Teacher Liu accompanied him to watch the audition performance all afternoon, and was puzzled by Lu Ming's pickiness, "Lu Ming, what kind of actor are you looking for? Let me see that Su Wan and Zhang Man just now Mandu is very good, his acting skills are very smart, his lines are very good, and his looks are memorable, why do you just pass all of them?"

Lu Ming shook his head, "Their acting skills are all okay, but their understanding of the role of 'Xu You' is all wrong. Su Wan's Xu You is too twisted, and the look in his eyes is very stubborn, a kind of reluctance to admit defeat This is not Xu You. Xu You is an aggressive little girl. Her attitude towards life is not fierce resistance. Stubbornness is not the main feature. Zhang Manman's acting is too sensitive and inferior. Faced with parents' doubts, It seems to be aggrieved and unwilling, and this is not Xu You. In short, it is just a little bit close, and it feels wrong."

The casting was unsuccessful this time, so Lu Ming went to several other major colleges and non-acting comprehensive universities, and finally found a freshman majoring in law—Jiang Ning, where should she stop, Lu Ming's His intuition told him: it was her.

The movie will not officially start until March 2029. During the period from December 3 to the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, Lu Ming decided to read the script and set makeup with the actors. He also found a special acting teacher to train Jiang Ning's basic skills.

Jiang Ning's appearance belongs to Qinglihang, not very sweet, nor stunning, a pair of red phoenix eyes are particularly vivid, and she looks clever in the camera.Lu Ming has accumulated some experience in the past few years as a director, and he probably has a good idea of ​​what kind of looks are flattering in front of the camera.

It is not the first time that directors of photography Feng Junying and Lu Ming have cooperated. When filming the movie "Crossing Jiangnan", Feng Junying was the director of photography of the crew, responsible for the overall control of the crew's photography work.

However, Lu Ming was still an actor at the time. He followed Feng Junying's arrangement and performed under different lighting conditions. The director and the cameraman discussed and finalized which shot to choose.

Goodbye after six years, Lu Ming has changed his identity and become a cutting-edge director, and now the work of the two requires a closer cooperation.

Lu Ming still knows Feng Junying's temper well. He is rather arrogant and high-minded. During the filming process, he often has his own persistence. When filming "Crossing Jiangnan", the director Zhang Duo Feng Junying and Feng Junying often argue about the expression of a scene.

It is very common for directors and photographers to argue, even if they are old partners who work together again, there will be times of disagreement.Movie shooting is a very high-intensity job. Working continuously on the set for a long time, everyone's nerves are very tense. If the director and photographer's opinions are difficult to reconcile for a scene, the shooting work will come to a standstill, and you have to wait. Only when two people come to an outcome can they proceed.But usually the conflict will not exist for too long, because all the staff on the filming site have the same vision-to make a good film and work towards a common goal, there will be no irreconcilable conflicts.

Before the official shooting, Lu Ming first asked Feng Junying out to have a cup of coffee together and chat about the basic ideas of the shooting of "Son of the Sea".

When they arrived at the entrance of the coffee shop they had agreed upon, Lu Ming suddenly received a call from Feng Junying, "Lu Ming, I'm in the park diagonally opposite this coffee shop, come here, I don't want to stay in that dimly lit coffee shop Talk about some gloomy topics, let's go out to bask in the sun."

Feng Junying is 46 years old and has already married and established a business. He is different from the middle-aged men in ordinary people's imagination. He has been smoothed by life and has learned to follow the rules and do things according to the rules.Feng Junying is very lucky. He has always been immersed in his own movie world, saying "movie is the art of light and shadow" every day. He often has some whimsical ideas, and the people around him will cooperate with him.

Just like at this moment, when Lu Ming received the call, he didn't complain at all. He looked at the location sharing message sent by Feng Junying on his mobile phone. He said that the park diagonally opposite was 3 kilometers away from this coffee shop. Lu Ming rode A shared bicycle rushed over.

When Lu Ming arrived, Feng Junying was standing in a square not far from the entrance of the park, watching the art performance of the elderly university in the nearby community. On the stage, there was an old man who looked 70 years old and was playing the saxophone.The next one that made its debut was a national standard dance troupe. Just as the grandfather finished playing and Feng Junying applauded loudly from the audience, Lu Ming took him out of the crowd and took him away. up.

Feng Junying is almost 20 years older than Lu Ming, and Lu Ming and him get along like friends of the same generation.At that time, after filming "Crossing the South of the Yangtze River", Lu Ming would have the idea of ​​becoming a director, which was more or less related to meeting someone like Feng Junying on the set.Lu Ming was indeed moved by Feng Junying's artistic attitude towards life immersed in his own world of light and shadow, and began to re-examine film art.

Lu Ming came to Feng Junying today, mainly to chat with him about the style of the movie.

Lu Ming originally decided to act as the director of photography for "Son of the Sea", but he went through the names of several well-known photographers in his mind, and his intuition told him: It might be a better idea to cooperate with Feng Junying. s Choice.

Until now, with the advanced film post-production, Feng Junying still refuses to correct the color of the picture through post-production digital technology. He pays special attention to the control of the details of the shot, and often improvises. In his shots, some Bold color attempts and imaginative compositional expression.Lu Ming felt that Feng Junying's artistic style was very suitable for the shooting requirements of "Son of the Sea".

Lu Ming obeyed Feng Junying's wishes, and wandered aimlessly with him in the park exposed to the rare sunlight in winter.

Lu Ming is not a person who is good at small talk, he always tries to cut directly to the center of the topic, "Have you read the movie materials and creative ideas I sent you before? Do you have any ideas?"

Feng Junying didn't answer his words, which was expected by Lu Ming, "Xiao Lu, don't talk about such boring topics as soon as we meet. Look at this warm winter scene, isn't it beautiful? Don't be so disappointing, it's rare for me to have a chance Come out for a walk."

Lu Ming didn't interrupt him, he said in his heart: Yesterday I saw you posted picnic photos in Moments.He knew that Feng Junying had such a temper, and most people were not used to such a high spirit, but who made Feng Junying's photography career develop smoothly all the way, with artistic ideals and abilities, and the opportunity to realize it?He has become a wrist, so naturally someone is spoiling him.

After finally listening to Feng Junying finished his winter speech, he seemed to mention it unintentionally, "This winter is over, and spring is coming. You sent me an email saying that you think the movie "Son of the Sea" is very suitable for spring. What mood do you think spring has?"

Lu Ming knows: Feng Junying seems to be asking casually, but he is actually testing himself. He likes to let others answer his questions. If the answer meets his expectations, he will talk to you about the topic.

"I have cherry blossom petals that fell yesterday in my coat pocket."

Feng Junying was silent for half a minute, and began to talk to Lu Ming about the filming technique of "Son of the Sea". Lu Ming knew that the nonsensical words he thought of at the moment had passed the test.

He didn't know how he remembered this sentence. When Feng Junying mentioned spring, he thought of himself in the early spring of a certain year, and accidentally found a cherry blossom petal in his coat pocket.

This is the feeling that spring brings to Lu Ming - the beauty of unexpected encounters.He also hopes to show this kind of beauty in the movie.
