The Spirit World

Chapter 404 Lack
"Lighting engineer! Let's make the lighting a little darker... Now the setting is a moonless night, you know? It can be scary dark, so that the powerful focusing attack of Lan Luo can be reflected, you know? Chen Feng, Xue Han, the two of you need to make your facial expressions a little more intense. You two are transforming into demons now. Your expressions just now were a little stiff, not showing the tension of the pulling force. Be a little more exaggerated. Yes, think about whether you have any enemy, and he is right next to you, right! Very good! This is the expression!" A burly man with a baseball cap turned sideways and holding a roll of newspaper was directing everything here.

"Ah Yi, help them touch up their makeup."

A woman with her face covered with a black mask quickly ran between the two people standing and listening to the director, and used black foundation to help them cover up the black lines on their faces.

"Director... Is this okay?" The man opened his mouth hard, as if it was cracked. But he quickly turned his head back, because it was too difficult to maintain this state. The woman named Xue Han next to him was a little dull, probably too tired, supporting her waist. The charred robe on her body looked like she was struck by lightning. The props team could still explain it, and they could process it on the green screen, just like being struck by lightning.

They had some ugly black clay on their bodies, which must have been very frustrating. However, Xue Han's white hair was still smooth enough, and the same was true for her blue contact lenses. This rather sad outfit made her feel uncomfortable, as this scene had been filmed for a whole day.

"Okay, okay! That's it! Ferocious! You know what ferocious is... Let's finish shooting this one, and then we can take a break, okay, gogogo!"

The restlessness at the scene began to subside, and everyone returned to their original positions. One camera was in the sky facing the two people who needed to perform, and the other camera was on the side, supported by a flat pulley and could be moved at will.

Chen Feng took a step forward, and his pure white face also appeared dim in the green curtain.

"Action!" The script supervisor made the decision, and the director slapped the newspaper on his thigh.

"Xun! Huang! Ying!" Chen Feng began to run left and right in the green screen, and Xue Han chased her quickly behind her with a special sword. They jumped up and down, and the fuselage followed quickly. The blower began to blow air violently, and their figures were sometimes fast and sometimes slow in the wind. According to the script, two super powerful ice cones would appear here, chasing Chen Feng until they stabbed Chen Feng's chest.

"Good! The ice cone comes out now!" the director said from the side.

Chen Feng was shocked, and the corners of his ferocious mouth began to curl up.

As if he was really frightened, Chen Feng looked towards the sky. Even though there was only a green screen, one could still tell that Chen Feng's acting skills were indeed good. He looked gently in both directions, as if there were really things attacking him from two directions. Xue Han, holding a sword, had already stood behind her, pointing the way with the sword, and suddenly kicked the ground, rushing straight towards Chen Feng.

"Ready the wire! Chen Feng is injured! Injured! Get up!" The director shouted and waved his arms. Chen Feng heard it and reacted immediately with a painful expression on his face. Then the wire carried him upside down into the air. This was the scene in the script where he was attacked by Lan Luo's ice cones and flew into the air.

"Xue Han! Angry! Angry! Roar!" the director gave the instructions again. Of course, in reality, his voice would not be included. The final version still needed Xue Han to dub the scene, as this line had been shot many times and failed, so the director had to make real-time adjustments.

"Ah!!!" Xue Han let out a startling scream. Her voice was a little low, so it definitely didn't have that effect, and her throat wasn't so easily hoarse, but the director just wanted a hoarse scream. There was no room for negotiation on the matter of hatred. Lan Luo wanted revenge, and this was necessary. It was either you die or I live, and there was no room for negotiation. Only in this way could there be a feeling of blood feud and unforgivable anger.

Otherwise, it would be terrible. The audience can only move their emotions from your voice and face. Maybe in real life, blood feuds are not so dramatic. People with high psychological quality would hide and cut people into pieces with a kitchen knife. They would not dare to be so ostentatious because they always know that there will be punishment, even absolute punishment.

But it's different here. This is a setting of a powerful demon king who kills without blinking an eye and only has hatred for dragons. That kind of killing momentum is too... childish, and it can't reflect the power of this man named Lanluo, and it can't even reflect enough wisdom.

Even so, the feeling of the filming can only be shown through the pictures. It only needs to be cool, the acting skills are in place, and the ferocious face will resonate with people. Coupled with the powerful special effects in the later stage, the whole picture will be tense and short, so as to achieve the purpose of conveying Lanluo's anger.

The audience only needs to understand that a very powerful person is having a powerful confrontation, and the protagonist is defeated, creating suspense. What will the protagonist do? Will there be helpers? Or even guess what is special about the protagonist?

Then there is Chen Feng's handsome face. Seeing such a handsome and even cold person making an exaggerated expression makes the anger collide just right. That is his acting skills. After the editing and release of the short video, seeing such a handsome person making such handsome moves will definitely make people sympathize with and even look forward to the performance of this up-and-coming star. After creating momentum and inadvertently buying some hot searches, the water army quietly participated in the forwarding of the short video, and the purpose of the publicity and promotion was achieved.

The wire made Chen Feng's movements shake drastically.

The director clutched his roll of newspaper, somewhat dissatisfied.

Xue Han's sword had already stabbed forward, hitting Chen Feng's chest. Of course, it was shot through a borrowed position to hit Chen Feng's chest, but in fact it just brushed against Chen Feng's waist. The camera next to it moved quickly to give Xue Han a close-up.

"Yilongzhi! Die!"

She twisted the blade of the special sword, or to be more precise, the small sphere with green cloth that did not rotate.

"Okay! Cut!" The director hit his head with a newspaper. The hollow newspaper roll didn't hurt, but he kept frowning.

"Okay! Let's stop here for today. Thank you for your hard work... Xue Han and Chen Feng, come here after removing your makeup. I have something to tell you." The director walked straight to the exit of the shed and asked everyone to take a break.

After getting down from the wire, Chen Feng glanced at Xue Han, wanting to know what was going on. Xue Han shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know.

"It's difficult... He's never satisfied with this scene no matter how we shoot it... It's really worrying..." Xue Han untied the wire straps with the help of the staff.

These words must be said for the two of them to hear.

"It's terrible..." Chen Feng shook his head: "Actually, I also feel like something is missing... hatred... I really don't know how to describe it when writing the script... they didn't say it, just that Lan Luo was very angry... and Chang Yufeng was also very angry..." Two people surrounded Chen Feng to help them remove the two pieces of black clay on their faces.

"I don't understand... It doesn't say to what extent one should hate... It's really hard to grasp... His face is so black... I can't even make micro-expressions... That author is so childish... The devil... Does it mean the whole body turns black? Lan Luo's hatred... What kind of hatred is it?" The clay on Xue Han's face was removed, revealing her clean white skin. She could finally breathe a sigh of relief. This was really hard work. She put a layer of special clay on her face and regarded it as a beauty treatment.

"And I remember there was a paragraph in the script where a black snake bit me... So far, there is no sign of the origin of this black snake... It seems that there is no trace of the black snake in the subsequent scripts... It's like it was added randomly... This part is really difficult... I can't act like it no matter how hard I try... I feel like my character has collapsed..."

"That's not bad... We should be filming why Lan Luo is like this later... I'm not in a hurry about that..." Chen Feng touched his face. The clay actually had a little smell. He was still worried about some side effects...

"I'm actually afraid of what Chang Yufeng is thinking... I don't know what he'll be thinking after he's picked up to the sky and stabbed in the heart... There should be a follow-up recording... I just need pain and anger... But this kind of anger is very false... Because as of now... I've only seen Lan Luo twice... or three times? Why is he so angry... Is there a big difference between the original work and the script? Adaptation is not random editing..." Chen Feng untied the wire and shook his head sadly.

"Let's go... Let's listen to what the director says... There's really nothing I can do... If this one doesn't work, I really don't know what to say... It's obviously a very short one... The details should be acceptable... Although I don't know how to be angry, I am really angry, my eyes are about to pop out..." Xue Han was still very sad, after all, the director still seemed very dissatisfied...

As it stands, there are definitely some shortcomings here… No one knows what kind of scene the director is imagining in his scenes… How should I put it?

It's awkward for two people who don't have any direct hatred to collide with each other... Really, if it weren't like this... then the word "anger" could really be expressed naturally.

Or an expression...

But in a sense, this is something difficult to understand. Because this is a grudge from a previous life, and has nothing to do with Chang Yufeng, played by Chen Feng.

It's like a transfer of emotions.

After traveling through thousands of years... I came to two people who said they knew me, but I didn't know them either. This made the souls of the two people meet...

Then all the hatred turned into swords...

Cutting into the flesh one by one, the other party died without knowing why...

This is so boring...

No?
At least there should be someone to record their past, or you might say, who would write a diary... But this is not reality, this is a novel, this is a script, this is something written by a person using his own wisdom, it must have logic, it must have emotional basis, or motivation.

Reality can be illogical, but novels can’t… scripts can’t…

Otherwise, the readers will be confused... A script that is incomprehensible is just a one-man show... The protagonists of this one-man show are the characters he wrote... No matter how vivid... and interesting they were before... without logic as support... everything will be destroyed... even super exciting moments will become dull... Something that you don't know what to say or what it is about is just... a relatively niche genre.

prose.

More like prose...

It records some stories, and at first glance it seems nothing... messy... but when you think about it carefully... it's interesting... this is prose, not a novel.

"Maybe... This is how I understand it... The director has published some prose articles before... So, his thoughts may be a little... uh... floating... You know, the kind?" Xue Han said with a fierce look: "The kind of empty mind, fill it with certain things... and then write whatever comes to mind... This feeling... Sometimes it's wild and unrestrained... Sometimes it's just about the daily necessities of life."

"Mental disorder..." Xue Han expressed his opinion very carefully. It could be considered a complaint... but he did not say it so obviously. The director had asked them to shoot this scene for a whole morning.

He ran with greater force, and his waist was hurt from hanging on the wire. If the fight between Chang Yufeng and Lan Luo had not been over yet, he would probably have to hang on the wire for another whole day.

This is simply too difficult...but I can't say it out loud.

"Ah... Actually it's not easy for everyone... There's nothing we can do about it... Making this movie well is the most important thing... The director strives for perfection... There's nothing wrong with that..." Chen Feng scratched his head embarrassedly.

I was almost at the director's door.

After knocking on the door, Xue Han went in first and Chen Feng closed the door behind him.

"You have worked very hard... As actors of the new era... just treat this as a way to hone yourselves... I apologize for my behavior..." The director placed the poured tea on the small table.

"Director... let's just be frank... we really want to know where we went wrong... if we continue like this... we may never be able to shoot this scene well... we want to know why you are not satisfied... please give us some advice."

Chen Feng sat down slowly, and Xue Han also sat beside him, forming a triangle.

"You are good kids...but I always feel like something is missing and I am never satisfied...this is also my fault...I am unwilling to lower my standards...don't blame me...I am just that kind of person."

The director took a sip of tea and smiled.

"So... what is missing? We didn't find anything strange when we read the script..." Xue Han was a little embarrassed.

"It's missing, there are really a lot of things." The director took off his baseball cap.

"what?"

"It lacks body skills, sword skills, and even physical strength."

The director looked at them, his black eyes tinged with red as he continued, "You can't be blamed for this, after all, spiritual power is fake... You're not martial artists... I called you here to say this... You should exercise more... The characters in the script have all been trained, and they're all very good in actual combat... I'm not just talking... There are no fancy moves... Even if they are fancy, they're deadly... This is what's lacking. Whether it's Xue Han's straight sword or Chen Feng's flying sword, they're both seriously lacking."

"Okay...thank you for the guidance, director."
