It's as if they've already seen the finished film and are filming exactly according to the template of the finished film.
The actors had absolutely no opportunity to try other ways of performing.
"Mr. Xu Zheng, I think your performance just now was fine, it was very good."
Faced with lead actor Xu Zheng's suggestion, Wang Yueheng spoke in a tactful yet firm tone.
Relying on his domineering directing skills.
He didn't need to try any other shots at all.
All you need to do is let the actors position themselves according to the image in your mind and perform directly.
"Oh well…"
Xu Zheng could only sigh and agree.
If it weren't for the excellent script of "Dying to Survive," he would have left the production long ago.
What kind of director just casually shoots a film like that...?
If the final result is terrible, it will not only ruin the script, but may even damage one's reputation.
However, the footage that Wang Yueheng passed through had no serious flaws whatsoever.
The only regret for the actors is that they cannot try to express their acting skills from multiple angles.
I felt completely constrained by this young director.
It was like being a puppet on a string, mechanically filming scene after scene according to Wang Yueheng's instructions.
"Although I think there's nothing wrong with the filming, it just feels too fast... I'm not at ease."
Wang Jun, another lead actor who was focused on learning his role, also expressed his bewilderment at the incredibly fast filming progress.
However, in his opinion, Wang Yueheng was probably just trying to get into the top eight of the singing competition.
That's why the filming was done at such a rapid pace.
As for the final product, no one on set except Wang Yueheng was sure what it would look like.
...
at the same time.
On the other side of Hengdian, the crew of "Journey to the West Legend" was on the set.
It was a scene completely opposite to the one Wang Yueheng was filming on set.
"Let's do it again!"
"The actress's lines were problematic just now, let's do it again!"
"Great progress! Let's film it again!"
"Male lead, where are you looking?! How many times have I told you not to look around like that?!"...
Hong Kong director Zhou An, known as the "tyrant on set," was wearing a sun hat and repeatedly shouted these words on set.
He was just over forty years old, but his hair was completely white, and his expression was serious, making him awe-inspiring.
This is completely contrary to the easygoing image that the audience perceives.
Whenever an actor's performance was subpar, Zhou An would not hesitate to reprimand them on the spot and demand a reshoot.
Faced with this extremely demanding director, all the actors on set felt immense pressure, fearing that they might cause a reshoot.
Several supporting actresses even teared up several times because of Zhou An's merciless reprimand.
Even his longtime partner, Cao Da, was not spared from being yelled at.
Veteran actor Cao Da was already used to the director's temper.
"Okay, that's enough. Everyone, take a break for a bit!"
Having finally achieved the desired shooting effect, director Zhou An waved his hand and said...
"Phew~"
All the staff breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words.
Ignoring the busy people around him, director Zhou An, with his full head of silver hair, went to a shady spot under a tree.
I leaned back in my director's chair, put on my Bluetooth headphones, and took out my phone to open the Bubble Music app.
Immediately afterwards, a cheerful song came through the headphones.
You said you like the Mori Girl style.
"And I have an extra gigabyte..."
It was none other than Feng Xiaomo's new song "Buddhist Girl" that she performed at the gala last night.
As the music played in his headphones, Hong Kong director Zhou An leisurely swung his toes.
No one at the scene could have predicted it.
This director is known as the "tyrant on set".
I've actually become obsessed with this song that's full of youthful energy.
While listening to music, director Zhou An was thinking about the theme song for his movie.
This "Journey to the West Legend" is the culmination of his hard work over the past few years, and a very suitable theme song must be found.
Listening to Feng Xiaomo's songs, he couldn't help but think of Wang Yueheng, a singer who is currently very popular.
It is said that this song, "Buddhist Girl," was written by this talented singer.
But the key thing is that he needs a theme song for his new movie, and it has to be a Cantonese song.
Is that mainland singer up to the task?
