"Photo by Zhao, the first shot will be in the future. I hope to highlight the vastness and vastness of the entire region..."

"…Can!"

"Actually, I always think that movies are the art of images, telling stories with light and shadow... Have you seen "Son of Humanity" directed by Alfonso?"

Zhao Xiaoding shook his head.

Chen Mengxidao: "That story itself has a strong religious meaning, but what left the deepest impression on me was the photography of Emmanur Lubezki. His lenses are basically natural light and then color-tuned in the later stages, and they rarely turn on the lights..."

"There is also Roger Diggins, who created the way to fight back and forth, usually shooting dialogues, and the very popular shoulder-forward and backward strokes. He placed the camera between two people, shot from the middle position and used a wide-angle lens to give a deeper depth of field, and you can see the position and relationship of the characters in space, and even body language other than the face can be well displayed."

"In this way, using the set can better show the character's psychology..."

"We can try "Painted Skin". Anyway, this drama is filmed for at least four months, and several major actors signed four-month contracts. We have time to try, mainly, and money to try!"

Wu Ershan was very excited: "Okay, then let's design a few more scenes and experiment back and forth!"

"…Yes," Chen Mengxi looked at Zhao Xiaoding and said again: "In addition to the necessary close-ups of characters, we can use less close-ups in this drama, and try to use as little as possible. I am very disgusted with the current blockbusters, and they always cut close-ups, and do not consider the rationality of composition and plot in order to be visually sensational and beautiful!"

“So, you want to shoot conversation scenes with a wide angle lens.”

"Um…"

Zhao Xiaoding nodded...

After breakfast, the three of them went to the crew together. The filming was about to start, and the actors were almost there. This scene is where Wang Sheng first met Xiao Wei and then took her home...

It was also the first time that Chen Mengxi saw most of the supporting roles in the crew!

To put it, the general rule of director choosing an actor must meet the role requirements, and his image and temperament are best consistent with the role image requirements.

Specifically for "Painted Skin", the four protagonists Chen Mengxi came forward to deal with it. Two big supporting roles were stuffed into the company, and he called for one. The remaining roles were basically left to the production team to decide.

It is not the time for capital to interfere in creation, nor is it the era of traffic. The producers mostly choose actors based on their previous screen images. For example, Jin Song, Tan Kai, Dong Yong and a group of martial arts brothers played Wang Sheng's garrison army.

As for the maid group, it’s even simpler. Just ask the students in school to make a guest appearance and just study with the group...

Don't worry about these things.

Chen Mengxi only has one requirement, good character!

In the small society of the crew, the producers definitely hope that every member of the crew will have a diligent and collaborative attitude.

Actors must participate in the crew creation with a spirit of collaboration and concerted efforts. Even if they play a supporting role, they must have a professional spirit!

Everyone is a big shot at actors, and they are late and absent from work. No one likes artists who disrespect others' labor!

I am not afraid of bad drama, but I am afraid of bad people!

It doesn’t matter if the drama is worse, we can train it;

If you have bad character, you will be unable to save it!

...

The first shot, Xiao Wei first appeared, without any concealment.

The director's idea was to start shooting from his toes and then take pictures of the fur that wrapped around her body...

This makes it beautiful.

However, Brother Xun's feet are not very good...

A pair of feet that are not very good-looking will affect the visual effect!

Wu Ershan asked Chen Mengxi in a low voice: "Do you want to find a foot model?"

Chen Mengxi was speechless: "Why do you even ask me about this? You must go find it. Hurry up and take a picture of your upper body first!"

Wu Ershan had to adjust the shooting, and first introduced an upper body shot...

Chen Mengxi came to perform the production and asked him to find a foot model to come over quickly...

It is normal to find foot models instead. In film and television dramas, most of the foot models are found when the foot models are involved. The most typical part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the scene when Zhang Wuji scratches Zhao Min's soles. When filming films, they basically find foot models to replace them...

The face can be cleaned and can be kept. How to clean your feet?

The crew continued to shoot.

As for Brother Xun's feet, it's normal. Mikami is also very beautiful. His feet are so long...

Under the camera, Mr. Zhou hugged the white fur tightly and stared at the men around him with innocent eyes...

That look is amazing!

No need to pout, just look at me...

Shromium, learn a little!

The actor who played the bandit leader pushed away the men around Zhou Xun: "Everyone can dodge!"

With both arms pressed, a princess hugged her directly: "Beauty, haha..."

The person next to him shouted: "Congratulations to the King! Congratulations to the King!"

Chen Mengxi smiled and turned around and left. He went to see how Chen Kun and the others were preparing...

The actors cooperated, the photography effect was great, and the director took care of it...

There is basically nothing to worry about!

Let’s talk about Mr. Zhou’s acting skills. I used to hear a lot of directors praise her, saying that she, ‘Actors like Zhou Xun, can definitely inspire directors’ creations, and she is the dream of all directors!’

Why did you dream?

Well, in one scene, he knew what dream it was...

It's true that she can give you whatever you want!

Once you join the group, you will become a character!

If it weren't for the scale and audience acceptance, Chen Mengxi would have wanted to arrange for the bandit leader to strip her clothes...

...

After leaving the tent, Chen Mengxi received a call from Guangtou Xu...

"Lost in the Road" will be filmed soon.

He asked Chen Mengxi if he wanted to go to Wuhan to see...

"No, I feel relieved to do things. Anyway, it's 6 million, no more, so you can do it yourself!"

"I'm staring at "Painted Skin" here... Do you want to play a role? Maybe you can still take Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei to guest-star in "Lost in the Road"..."

"It's because of humans. You kneel down and beg them. Isn't it possible to have moral kidnapping?"

"...I'm just kidding. I've told SM., Han Geng should have two days. Then you can shoot his scene first... He's so popular, with millions of fans on the Internet!"

"Well...I'll...hey, who is this?"

Chen Mengxi suddenly scanned a familiar figure...

Wearing the costume of the maid in "Painted Skin"...

"Xiao Xu, come on..."

Xiao Xu is his assistant, and the official position of "Painted Skin" is a production assistant. He knows everyone in the crew very well.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Chen Mengxi pointed to the figure standing at the entrance of the tent: "...Is that woman named Zhao Liying?"

“…I’ll ask!”

Xiao Xu walked forward decisively...

At this time, the woman seemed to feel something, turned her head and saw Chen Mengxi, and then ran away quickly...

Round face, big eyes, small head...

Isn’t this Zhao Liying?

Damn, who chose the actor?

Come out, I'll add a chicken leg for you!

"Hey, that..."

"Don't call her, I'm just curious. When you ask, others think I'm going to do what I'm going to do!"

Chen Mengxi is quite happy. A movie called "Painted Skin" brings together a bunch of stars of the future...
Chapter completed!
