Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 83

After the role is determined.

They will soon depart for Macau to hold the opening ceremony.

In the days before departure.

Lu Jiang records songs and learns spoken English, Cantonese and Hokkien during the day.

In the evening, I started to enter the Golden Finger simulator and start the simulated director.

The flow of time in the simulator is different from that in reality. No matter how long you stay inside, it will be one second outside.

After the arrangement is completed, the film is produced instantly and can be edited at will.

The good news is that it won't consume your mental energy, but the bad news is that it will consume your physical energy. That's why Lu Jiang hasn't exercised with Fan Binbin these days. He's really afraid of dying in bed. He eats all kinds of food during the day, but he just won't gain weight.

Fortunately, Fan Binbin was also very sensible. She was under a lot of pressure and knew that Lu Jiang was under a lot of pressure, so she acted like a snack manager during the day and a hug pillow at night. She would never do anything without receiving a signal.
Having said that, after entering the simulator, Lu Jiang was familiar with the process and began to rehearse by controlling all the equipment and character models with his mind.

The character models have the same qualities as real people in all aspects, so there will be no situation where someone performs well inside but poorly outside. Of course, the premise is that the other party is really acting seriously, otherwise no one can help.

The purpose of rehearsing with a simulator is not only to become proficient in TV drama shooting, but also to ensure the degree of restoration.

Since it has been insured, the degree of restoration of this drama must naturally reach 90%.

There are many things involved in restoration.

For example, if the actor changes, his appearance will change, which will also affect the degree of restoration.

This is not a simple comparison based on who is more handsome or beautiful, but a comprehensive comparison of the original's temperament, styling, and the comfort level of the protagonists' appearance.

In this regard, the new F4 is better than the original, but Fan Binbin lags behind.

Shancai's appearance is not necessarily better. In the original novel "Meteor Garden", Shancai's appearance is not set to be a peerless beauty in the traditional sense, but she appears as a fresh and natural girl next door.

She has long, shiny black hair, and her eyes reveal stubbornness and indomitable spirit. Although her facial features are not stunning, they are very attractive. Overall, she gives people a simple and vibrant feeling.

Is Fan Binbin simple and unpretentious? Obviously not.

Furthermore, when a female protagonist who is not particularly pretty is surrounded by four handsome guys, the female audience will feel more involved in the story.

So no matter what, Fan Binbin is inferior to the original Big S in this respect.

The biggest impact of the new actors is actually the change in acting style.

Qiao Zhenyu and others naturally have different styles from those second-rate actors in the original version.

This is not just a question of good or bad acting, but the difference in flavor between this scene and the original when the entire performance is combined.

So as a director, what I have to consider is how to make the new actors work together to create a similar flavor to the original.

In addition, the actor's styling, scenery, camera movement, etc. all need to be carefully challenged. If they can be done better, it can be considered a successful optimization. If not, then make up for it from other aspects.

Finally, after 6 nights and more than rehearsals, Lu Jiang finally came up with a satisfactory result on the night before leaving for Macau.

Overall, although the actors are different from the original, some individual plots are also slightly different when you look closely.

But...it's the same taste!

According to the golden finger, the "restoration degree" is 102%, although Lu Jiang does not think that the word "restoration degree" is appropriate to describe it.

But no matter what, 102% versus 100% is almost the same.

Lu Jiang was also very satisfied.

So what if it’s 110%? There won’t be much more. Unless it’s 150% or 200%, that would be cool.

So now that we can achieve more than 90%, that’s enough.

Looking back, Lu Jiang saved the last simulation results and directed according to them.

After exiting the simulation space, Lu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Simulating directing was tiring, but he had learned a lot. It was far better than copying everything one-to-one, and it was incredibly satisfying.

He couldn't help but think that next time if he came across a film with a good subject but poor filming, he would definitely try to give it more than 150%!
The next afternoon, Lu Jiang arrived in Macau with the crew members of "Meteor Garden".

Also coming with them was Situ Zhaodun.

Situ Zhaodun didn't come here just for Lu Jiang.

Although Lu Jiang is his student, he is also optimistic about Lu Jiang.

But now Lu Jiang is just filming an idol drama, so he naturally won’t take it too seriously.

Do students need to follow while practicing?

There's no need.

He mainly went together because he had an appointment.

Lu Jiang also benefited from this.

This is not Lu Jiang’s first time in Macau.

The last time I went to Taiwan, I transferred in Macau.

At that time, Lu Jiang was not as famous as it is now, so it was quite leisurely to stroll around Macau during the layover.

But this time is very different from the last time.

Sitting in the Rolls-Royce, Lu Jiang looked at Situ Zhaodun beside him with surprise.

These days, through Situ Zhaodun's relationship, the crew successfully coordinated various matters of the magazine in Macau, but Lu Jiang did not come to handle it personally, and the person in charge of the coordination was just doing the work.

This person handles things extremely efficiently and seems very energetic.

As a result, now that the convoy came to pick him up at the airport, Lu Jiang was really confused.

Situ Zhaodun still shook his head when he heard this: "According to seniority, I should call him uncle, but I am not familiar with him."

"Then how can we invite this old brother of yours?"

"What's so strange about that? You can lose hundreds of millions here, and we'll pick you up every time you come back."

"Forehead"

"I'm just kidding. I just have some connections in the local area."

"Then it's not appropriate to arrange such a large event."

"They're not that big. The rest are hotel cars."

".Depend on."

Lu Jiang was so surprised that he thought he was really enjoying super treatment.

But it's also strange that this car came to pick me up at the airport.

Situ Zhaodun explained with a smile: "You are a mainland superstar. When you come to Macau, of course people will treat you with courtesy."

After Situ Zhaodun explained, Lu Jiang finally understood.

He has just returned, and the mainland superstar came to his territory to film a movie, and he came with Situ Zhaodun. Of course, the other party had to be polite and considerate.

Of course, Situ Zhaodun is the key point here.

Lu Jiang? The King of Heaven? In other people's eyes, he's probably just a minion.
Soon the car arrived at the hotel. After entering, Lu Jiang followed Situ Zhaodun to meet his "old brother", whose surname was Xu.

This person is unknown, but his deceased brother was very powerful and was the father of the most powerful local leader.
After the big show, the next day, "Meteor Garden" officially started filming.
