Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 317: Dedicated mobile phone is not connected to the Internet, please pay attention to safety
America is full of democracy, and Hollywood is full of art.

The unruly rebel becomes obedient, while the pure and flawless beauty sticks out her butt and sinks her waist.

As we all know, the entertainment industry is very clean, and the financial industry is even purer.

This is where artists and Wall Street elites meet.

This is Xinxiang!

Taylor Swift sings "Welcome to Xinxiang" with all her heart.

"Welcome to Xinxiang, Taylor!" Zhen Jiecheng extended his hand enthusiastically to the long-legged fox.

"Ahem, Director Zhen, Taylor is more familiar with Xinxiang than you." The producer laughed.

"But now, I am the master." Zhen Jiecheng raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it, Taylor?"

"Yes, you are the master." The long-legged man blinked his fox eyes.

Unfortunately, it's a little small and lacks flavor.

But even though it's small, the long-legged fox is very capable. Especially when it comes to finding a partner, Zhen Jiecheng has to admit he's better.

In the future, people will jokingly call it: the most expensive bus in America; it is said that the number of fellow travelers who use her as a bond exceeds eighty!
Of course, it’s not the kind where you pay for a ride.

Every time they break up, it's like taking the yang to replenish the yin. Most men lose their reputations, suffer financial losses, and even go bankrupt.

As for Taylor, just as Zhen Jiecheng deceived Jie Lun that "the inspiration came from poking the source": the creation of one new song after another "in memory of" her ex-boyfriend made her acting career more and more prosperous.

In addition to singers visiting the studio, there are also catwalk performers who come to teach foreign languages.

As for American entertainment, the main feature is that everyone gets together to have fun, in a lively and lively atmosphere without any distinction between different groups.

Naturally, there were also serious insiders: for example, Angelina Jolie who came to learn from the experience.

Lara in "Tomb Raider" has long stopped focusing on her career as an actress and has transformed herself into a creator.

Angelina, who had just completed the post-production of her first feature film "In the Land of Blood and Honey", which she wrote and directed, rushed to Xinxiang without even having time to spend a few days with her fiancé Brad Pitt.

The reason is simple: after attending the opening ceremony of Joker, Sylvester Stallone went back and praised Zhen Jiecheng in various ways as a "professional". Every time he praised, he would add a suffix: Robert said the same thing.

The composition, color, camera movement, scenery, lighting and other details are combined together to outline a vivid image of a film master.

When Angelina heard this, she said: Even Stallone was able to learn so professionally after just one trip, so if I stay a few more days, won’t I be able to take off?
I’m sorry, husband. Please forgive me for not being able to fulfill my duties as a fiancée for the time being.

Goodbye, husband
"Hiss! This girl is really pretty and has a nice figure!" Cao Jiuping smacked his lips. "About thirty? Never mind, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it suits Jiecheng's taste."

"She's wearing makeup!" Li Pingbin covered her waist and pouted, "Foreigners age quickly. Once she takes off her makeup, she's more than qualified to be Jiecheng's mother!"

"You know shit! It's Beijing Film Academy's tradition to turn off the lights!" Cao Jiuping rolled his eyes, "It's the same even if you turn off the lights."

"I have a fiancé."

"Forget it, America is such a damn place, being married isn't a restriction, and a fiancé is nothing!" At this point, Cao Jiuping sighed, "Jiecheng is like a fish in water when he comes here!"

"Lao Cao, what are you guys mumbling about? Come and get to work!"

Hearing the sound of a loud speaker, Cao Jiuping curled his lips and glanced at Li Pingbin's waist.

"How about it, old man? Can you still carry the camera?"

"Does it matter to you whether I can carry it or not? Besides, I still have Old Bao!" Li Pingbin said, grinning at Bao Dexi in a flattering manner, "Don't you agree, Old Bao?"

"He~tui!" Bao Dexi spat without thinking. Then he turned and left, looking at Li Pingbin with his buttocks.

You bastard, you're having all the fun, but I'm the one suffering.

Hurry up and get out of here!
"Arthur's normal personality and the Joker personality are essentially the same timeline as in Interstellar."

"The arrangement of specific props, the assistance of lighting, the performance of actors, etc.! All of these will become means to sort out and distinguish different personalities."

Zhen Jiecheng raised his head and looked at Little Leo.

"Leonardo, don't worry about the rest. I'll take care of it."

"All you need to do is use your micro-expressions to show the obvious differences between different personalities. In addition, I have designed an action for you."

"Whenever you switch to the Joker personality, all actions are performed using your left hand."

(right hand, clown makeup, but Arthur personality)
(Left hand, normal dress, but clown personality)
Pointing to the script,
"Including smoking, subsequent shooting and other violent acts, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Leonardo nodded.

"OK, then adjust it and get ready to shoot."

"Arthur" has two personalities, and Zhen Jiecheng is similar. After entering the director mode, he completely ignored the guests of the opposite sex who came to visit the studio, even if they were on the set.

"Angelina, what are you writing?" Taylor leaned closer to her curiously.

"Take notes." Angelina didn't even raise her head, busy directing the tip of her pen to write down the notes. "What Stallone said is absolutely right. On Zhen's set, I can intuitively feel his strong personal style."

"Master of genius, devil in details."

“Zhen always has the ability to rearrange and combine various theories with ease, and then use them to create a rich lens language.”

Angelina's tone began to rise, and she seemed a little excited.
"All you see is Leonardo using his left hand or his right hand. It's simple, isn't it?"

“But the supporting facilities designed by Zhen for this action are the essence!”

As he was talking, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Oh my god, is this Leonardo?"

In the field of vision, Leonardo was reserved and restrained, serious and solemn, making exaggerated "hehehe" noises, and was strangely and creepily silent.

The switching of expressions was so natural, as if it came from instinct.

"Yes, this is Leonardo." Robert approached and said with a smile, "I think next year's Oscars will be very interesting. No matter what the judges choose, in my heart, Leonardo is already the best actor!"

"Are you surprised that Leonardo has changed so much?"

"Angelina, if you stay a few more days, you won't be surprised. Training actors is a standard for great directors. I know what you want to say: Leonardo has worked with many great directors. But Director Zhen has an extraordinarily magical power. He always convinces people involuntarily."

"By the way, is directing In the Land of Blood and Honey just a simple experiment, or do you want to continue on the path of directing?"

"Without a doubt, keep going, Robert," Angelina replied firmly.

"Then you should stay for a few more days. If possible, it would be best if you stay until the film is finished." Robert looked in the direction of the monitor. "I suggest you analyze Director Zhen's Parasite and Never Return a few more times. There are many papers related to the two in film and television schools. You can also download them and take a look."

“And then verify the content of the filming of Joker, and you will definitely gain a lot.”

"Director Zhen has been challenging himself with new plot themes and new filming ideas. Logically, such attempts should be obviously experimental, but Director Zhen has shown himself to be very experienced."

After a pause,
"Well, who makes him a genius? He is the only film master in the film and television industry who is under 30 years old!"

"It's a rare opportunity to observe the master up close, Angelina."

"Well, I'm planning to do that!" Angelina nodded, "Guest appearance, apply to be the executive director. I think Zhen will not refuse my request."

"Zhen? Angelina, you should call me Director Zhen!"

Robert corrected.

"Besides, Director Zhen certainly wouldn't refuse. He's a gentleman."

"Fuck, Leonardo!" A shrill loudspeaker suddenly sounded on the set, interrupting Robert's words.

"Leonardo, are you a man?" "Of course, director." Leonardo nodded.

"OK, as a man, you should protect your female relatives, including your ex-girlfriends with whom you had an intimate relationship, right?"

Zhen Jiecheng shouted, panting heavily.

"Leonardo, it's time to defend them with your performance!"

"You don't want them to be implicated because of your shitty performance, do you?"

Robert: 0.0
"Puchi~" Angelina and Taylor looked at each other and laughed out loud.

"Well, Fuck you is a gentleman too!" Angelina couldn't help laughing.

"Yes!" Taylor nodded. "After all, Zhen has already reminded Leonardo in a gentlemanly way that he should be fully prepared to protect his female family members. Oh, and he didn't even forget his ex-girlfriends. How gentlemanly!"

Taylor felt more and more identified with Zhen Jiecheng because she did the same thing and never forgot any of her ex-boyfriends.

Finally, after finishing the indoor shooting, the set turned to the streets.

Cao Jiuping led the props team to start the setup, and the makeup team was busy all the time. In addition to taking care of the extras who needed to appear on camera, there was also the male lead Arthur, who could not tolerate any flaws.

"You came late and didn't know that Director Zhen used the dividing line very subtly in the previous composition."

"But now, the 'strong contrast' of Zhen's style has reappeared! It's just that it has shifted its position and is reflected in the color."

"But this is normal! Director Zhen's senior is Director Yimou, who is also a master of film art and is particularly good at the use of colors."

Robert talked and Angelina listened.

Soon, Angelina moved from listening to discussing, and the conversation between the two became more lively.

As for Taylor, she was so confused that before she could even realize how powerful he was, Zhen Jiecheng pulled her to be an extra.

Now that you are here, you should follow the host’s wishes!

"Don't worry, Taylor, I won't let you work in vain. The producer said that you will definitely have a place on the future promotional posters of "Joker"!" Zhen Jiecheng made the promise very politely. As for whether the little fox was touched or not, that was the producer's business and Warner's business. What did it have to do with me, Zhen Jiecheng?
"All units, prepare, action!"

For location scenes involving a large number of extras, no matter how simple the scenes are, they are difficult to shoot.

Especially for someone like Zhen Jiecheng who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, once the movements of the extras cause the dynamic imbalance of the composition, he has to start over again.

There were more than a dozen cuts, and Pau Tak-hei couldn't handle them all. The entire camera crew, including Yan Kit-shing, were all on the scene. Not to mention that Li Ping-bin was just holding his waist, even if he was lying in a wheelchair, he had to carry the camera on his shoulders.

Once, twice, three times. Zhen Jiecheng didn't even blink.

"Don't be surprised, Angelina." Robert said calmly, "This is just the beginning. Leonardo shot the same scene dozens of times before!"

Finally, a sound rang in her ears, and Angelina, who had already been immersed in the story, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

But they soon realized something was wrong; none of the crew members were relaxing.

"Don't be anxious, Angelina, we're just getting started. The scene hasn't been finished yet!" Robert shrugged and put his hands in his pockets.

From the streets to the alleys, one can hear the hustle and bustle of the crowds and the non-stop sound of loud speakers.

"The camera follows the character into the alley and turns vertically to lead him over."

"Old Bao, zoom and shoot directly on the axis, turn the axis 180° to Leonardo!"

"After Arthur was knocked down by the thugs, the camera tilted up and down."

Zhen Jiecheng held up a loud speaker and raised his head.
"Give me another panoramic shot from above, with a tilted composition!"

The tilt represents irregularity and implies chaos.

On the one hand, the pitch and tilt express the relationship between strength and weakness, and on the other hand, it creates a depressing atmosphere in the crowded alley where space is squeezed.

"No problem, leave it to me!" Bao Dexi nodded.

He quickly explained everything and sat back in front of the monitor.

Seeing this, Angelina followed closely, sat behind Zhen Jiecheng, and cast her eyes towards the screen.

"Crack!"

"Don't hit so hard, but hit for real!"

"Crack!"

"Didn't you guys eat?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't have enough to eat, but being so light-hearted is an insult to Leonardo's professionalism!"

If you do something, you must abide by the rules of that industry, at least for Zhen Jiecheng. No matter if you are a superstar or an unknown person, when you shoot eating, you must swallow it seriously, and when you shoot getting beaten, you must punch it hard. Under the premise of controlling the damage, we strive for realism as much as possible.

"Yes, that's it!"

"Remember, this is a sad soundtrack, and the instrument of choice is the cello. The rhythm of the music should correspond to the slow pull-out of the camera."

"Ah?" Angelina stared blankly until the staff of Huana translated Zhen Jiecheng's words in full.

"Okay, Director Zhen!"

Angelina quickly opened her notebook and made a quick note.

Then he immediately raised his head and looked at the monitor.

The yellow sign, the bright colors of the clown's costume and wig, and the cool tones of the surrounding environment form a strong contrast between cold and warm, filling the composition.

Telephoto lens, and a long lens!
The compressed background further helps the narrow space create a sense of oppression.

The clear foreground seems alienated, and as the camera slowly pulls out, Arthur's sense of isolation becomes stronger.

Keep pulling, keep pulling!

Angelina seemed to hear the low cello melody and the dull drum beats of the interlude in her mind.

The former is Arthur's sadness, and the latter is Arthur's heartbeat.

Lens language! This is the real lens language!

The art of literature is the visual sense of words, and the art of film and television is the story sense of pictures.

There is no need for endless narration, just give you a shot, the story is in it, and the emotions are in it!

Thinking about this, Angelina took out her cell phone from her pocket.

Select Contact: Brad Pitt.

Edit text: Sorry honey, I may be a little late to come back. Remember to think of me and love you.

send!
"apple?"

Zhen Jiecheng took a look.
"Well, be safe."

In 11, hackers browsed a large number of private collections of Hollywood actresses' photo albums.

In this regard, Zhen Jiecheng's evaluation is:

Although it is very artistic, it is not as good as Guanxi brother!
