Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 642 The Delayed Director

In the play "The Martian", Fang Hong still guided Liu Tianxian's acting throughout the whole process as usual.

That is to check for omissions and help her do the details.

Although he is not a good director, he shoots seriously and does not do things perfunctorily. He also does not just shoot casually and tries to shoot as many shots as possible.

This alone makes me better than many directors, as many directors have to meet deadlines.

The two crews were filming separately, so he had plenty of time to focus on training Liu Tianxian in acting.

And Liu Tianxian was not as immature as she was at the beginning. After all, she has won the Temple of Heaven Award, the Golden Goblet Award, and the Macau Award, so her acting skills have been honed.

Although she didn't win the Golden Horse Award, it did not affect her performance.

After all, Fang Hong told her to treat herself as an ordinary person, not to show her emotions, and to be restrained and calm.

During the filming of this play, each shot had to be polished more than ten times, trying to capture the emotions as much as possible and shoot more footage for editing.

This is the good thing about Liu Tianxian. Once she gets into work mode, she is willing to work hard and will listen to you no matter how you shoot it.

Maybe she herself doesn't know whether her acting is good or not. All actors are like this, they have no self-awareness.

This scene was shot about eighteen times and ended when Liu Tianxian entered the Mars base, where she could take off her space suit.

The second scene, of course, is removing the iron skewer from the abdomen.

In the base, Liu Tianxian took off his helmet and the heavy shell on his body, and then took off his gloves to pull out the iron stick "inserted" in his abdomen.

Liu Tianxian took a deep breath, grabbed the iron skewer and pulled it hard, then she screamed "Ah!"

This is of course not true, she just acted it out.

"Click!" Fang Hong shouted again.

The staff remained at their original positions without moving, knowing that the principal was going to personally teach his wife how to act.

"Don't hold the iron stick. Pull it out quickly and decisively. Have you ever had an IV drip? The nurse will pull out the needle very quickly." Fang Hong walked over and explained to her.

After hearing this, everyone thought about their own injections and found that it was indeed the case. The nurse pulled out the needle quickly and steadily. The principal was indeed professional.

I feel that if they follow the principal's instructions, they will be able to act too. Unfortunately, the principal is always too lazy to guide others.

"It seems so." Liu Tianxian nodded seriously.

"Look, I'll show you." After Fang Hong said this, he calmed down and got into the state.

He looked serious at first and looked down at his abdomen. There was actually nothing there. He hesitated.

Then he exhaled several times and quickly made a "pulling out" motion.

"Wow!" Fang Hong slightly bent his body and screamed violently, as if he was really in pain.

The entire action of exhaling and pulling out was done in one go, without any delay, and it was natural for him to slightly arch his body while screaming.

"The principal is really an actor who was delayed by the director, otherwise he would definitely win the best actor." Shen Ao looked at him.

"No, the principal was delayed by business." Li Anran crossed his arms across his chest.

"Yes, that's true, but given the principal's personality, he can achieve success in anything he does." Liu Yin said.

It is very purposeful and well planned.

After the rehearsal, Fang Hong said, "You get it, right? You have to pull it out quickly, breathe quickly to give yourself courage and reduce the pain, and your screams have to convey the feeling of extreme pain, so that you can convey it to the audience."

"I understand." Liu Tianxian expressed her understanding.

She only looked at the characteristics of the astronauts, but did not pay attention to the medical self-rescue methods, which are all standard self-rescue methods.

It can also bring the audience into a mood.

"Are you tired? Do you want to take a break before performing again?" Fang Hong asked.

"No, I'm not tired yet."

Liu Tianxian shook his head, then said: "You can't tell normally, but you know a lot."

"As a very, very, very professional director, of course I have to know everything about astronomy and geography, right?" Fang Hong said three "very"s in a row.

Liu Tianxian smiled, and the tension from filming relaxed a little, but she always felt that her man was a good director, he was just delayed.

But there is no other way. If there is no one to hold up the "sky", these scenes cannot be filmed at all.

Because there are no resources, no funds, and no channels, they will be harmed by others.

The filming continued. With Fang Hong's demonstration and her own understanding of the performance, Liu Tianxian passed it after ten takes.

She then took off her space suit and quickly cut off her clothes, revealing her tight tube top and her flat stomach.

The tube top bra is relatively conservative, but the abdomen will be made up to look bloody.

The filming was almost over at this point, and what followed was the scene of him lying on the operating table and saving himself. He had to dig out the wound on his abdomen, take out the debris, and sew up himself.

This section is even more bloody and unbearable, and is a huge challenge for Liu Tianxian.

But shoot slowly and give guidance slowly. If ten times doesn’t work, try a hundred times.

While "The Martian" was being filmed, "The Greatest Show", which had been released for a month and a half, had already been taken off the screen.

This movie is still a box office hit even after a month.

The final box office was 12.73 billion yuan, making it another movie with a box office of over billion yuan.

Chen Daoming entered the billion-dollar movie club for the first time with this movie, and his status and commercial value have been improved. In an interview, he told the host: "I am still very grateful for the guidance of the principal."

"Has he ever coached you in acting?" The host was surprised that there was someone who could coach this veteran actor.

"It wasn't really guidance, I just analyzed the character's performance. I remember his analysis very clearly, and then I re-enacted it." Chen Daoming remembered that he even paid to make up for the loss of the re-enactment.

“It’s hard to imagine that a principal so young can actually analyze a role for you,” said the host.

“It’s nothing. Generally speaking, a good director must be a good actor and can think about the character from the actor’s perspective,” Chen Daoming said.

The host asked, "Do you think the principal is a good director?"

"Of course, he always has been." Chen Daoming said.

"The principal has never won any awards or received any recognition. What do you think about this?" asked the host.

"There are many factors that determine whether a director wins an award. It doesn't mean that he is not a good director if he doesn't win an award. David Fincher and Charlie Chaplin, two legendary directors, still couldn't win an Oscar. Does anyone doubt their achievements? No one!"

"."

The withdrawal of "Wushuang" does not affect the annual Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day schedule, which has already entered a competitive mode.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is on the 27th. Including the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is four days away from the National Day.

"Lost in Hong Kong" dominated the Mid-Autumn Festival schedule and was released on the 25th, about six days after the th.

The producer of this film is not just Yutu, but also Xu Guangtou’s company Zhenledao, and he sold part of his shares to Guangxian.

Although Yutu is also an investor, it did not have absolute copyright, but only partial copyright.

Originally, it was Xu Guangtou who took the photos and organized the group himself. Yutu was just an investment and had part of the copyright, which he couldn't give up.

Behind Guangxian is Alibaba, which has invested in it and is its second largest shareholder. This is the butterfly effect brought about by Fang Hong.

So this movie is distributed by two giants, Tu Piaopiao and Tao Piaopiao, and it can be considered their first collaboration.

In fact, there was no cooperation, they just invested in their own projects, with Xu Guangtou in the middle.

With the addition of the two giants in the "囧" series, no one is trying to provoke them, and everyone has set their sights on the National Day period.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day period is quite lively, with King Liu's "Saving Mr. Wu", which is his second collaboration with mainland China.

The first one is "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". Those who understand this play will know how it basically ruined his character.

Although this movie "Saving Mr. Wu" is okay, whether it can carry the box office and whether his fans support him will only be known after it is released in theaters.

There was originally a movie called "Nine-story Demon Tower", but the copyright was in the hands of Yutu, so Lu Chuan wrote and directed "Tower of the Demons"!
Anyway, they wanted to take advantage of the popularity of Ghost Blows Out the Light and tomb-raiding themes, so they filmed this thing.

Tomb-raiding themes are very popular this year. Novels and TV series are all very popular, such as "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", starring Yang Yang, so it has been extended to movies.

Although "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" has 50-cent special effects, the single episode has been viewed over 100 million times, and it has long been on the hot search list on Weibo, becoming a phenomenal topic.

It can be said that Ghost Blows Out the Light and Grave Robbers' Chronicles have a large number of fans and book lovers.

The "Legend of the Demons" directed by Lu Chuan is just to take advantage of the popularity. As for whether the plot has any connection with the original novel, it definitely has no connection.

Not to mention this, the "Nine-story Demon Tower" he filmed in his previous life was also a drastic adaptation and had nothing to do with the original work.

This caused the audience to complain wildly, and the film was so bad that even the original author couldn't stand it, so he took the man to court, saying that he had distorted and tampered with the original work so greatly.

But in this life, Jade Rabbit did not give him authorization, so he wrote and directed the film himself and changed the names of the characters. The plot is similar to his previous life's "Nine-story Demon Tower".

The actors are still the same actors, Mark Chao, Da Zui, Li Chen, Tang Yan, etc.

The investors behind it are LeTV and China Film.

The card played by Yutu is "Charlotte's Troubles", produced by the original team, Yutu and Happy Twist.

The issuing company is still Tupiaopiao, which is the real son.

During the National Day period, these three movies are mainly competing: "Saving Mr. Wu", "The Demons Strike Back to Heaven", and "Charlotte's Troubles".

As for some other movies, I have never heard of them.

"Charlotte's Troubles" and "Lost in Hong Kong" feel like they are competing against each other, but it doesn't matter, there are only a few good schedules in a year.

Later there are movies such as "Nine-story Demon Tower", "Mojin: The Last Dragon", "Lucy", "The Mermaid", "Detective Chinatown 3" and so on.

This year is considered to be the year of Yutu's explosion, and it is squeezing out others. This is mainly because after several years of sedimentation, it has basically gathered all the new generation of filmmakers and also has the IP copyrights in its hands.

Countless scripts are lying around in Yutu’s Literary Club!
The competing films during the National Day holiday are bound to engage in a "secret war" on the Internet, and the means used are naturally to hire internet trolls to boost scores or discredit opponents.

For example, "The Demonic Tower of Babel" was boycotted by book fans because it plagiarized and modified "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

This news was naturally released by the opponent.

Instead of suing him, let people boycott it. In fact, there is nothing to be gained from the lawsuit. The plot has nothing to do with the original work.

The pre-sale box office of "Saving Mr. Wu" was accused of buying the box office to lock in the theaters. Director Gao Qunshu publicly stated: "Good movies should not be buried by the scheduling of screenings."
It implies that some films use their resources to squeeze out their competitors.

Even "Lost in Hong Kong" and "Charlotte's Troubles" started fighting and even provoked each other.

"Charlotte's Troubles" emphasizes: "Sincere comedy does not rely on IP!"

The media insinuated that "Lost in Hong Kong" relied on IP to make money.

However, "Lost in Hong Kong" did not pay attention because this movie was much more popular than "Charlotte's Troubles".

Whether it is IP or the actor’s popularity.
