Many people know that painting cakes is a skill that bosses have learned by themselves.
But many people don’t know that in a sense, the director is also the boss of the crew. Everyone on the set is his employee.
Why does everyone want to participate in the plays of great directors?
Because it is a real piece of pie. They can smell the fragrance and want to take a bite without others having to say it.
But in a play directed by a newcomer like Liu Bige, the cake is like the moon in the water or the flowers in the mist, which can be seen but cannot be touched. Therefore, when many great directors first started, they were able to lead a group of people to make a good film with nothing. To a large extent, it was because his surging passion and fanaticism could infect other people. Inspire creativity in others.
Liu Bige is a passionate person, and he sometimes has the enthusiasm of a poet.
So, when he said something that sounded too "unbelievable", Lu Yanhe only hesitated for a moment and decided to become a loyal "believer".
He himself is a rational person and cannot easily believe other people's words or be brainwashed casually. However, in terms of nature, he also believes in the power of the spirit and the power that people can exert in different mental states. It's different.
Liu Bigo used "Three Mountains" to stimulate the actors of "Late Spring" in the hope that they could give better performances under the stimulation of "Three Mountains".
"Late Spring" is a film that does not have a very bright future from all aspects at this stage. It can be said that if these actors had other choices, they would not necessarily choose this movie. After all, except for the male protagonist Lu Yanhe, there is almost nothing in this movie that attracts the actors.
In fact, Lu Yanhe can see that the script of "Late Spring" is good, and seeing Liu Bige's talent does not mean that others can also see it.
Not every actor has such vision and ability.
Many times, the director must use this kind of speech-like and encouraging way to motivate the actors and other people on the crew.
Let everyone believe that this will be a good movie. I believe that after this movie is made, it will become a masterpiece in everyone's acting career.
Only such an atmosphere can mobilize everyone's subjective initiative to the greatest extent.

The next day, the sun was shining and it was a very comfortable weather.
Lu Yanhe suddenly received a notice to move the filming of the finale scene to today.
He was stunned.
Before this, "Late Spring" had always adopted a sequential filming method, allowing the actors to slowly enter the character's state following the plot.
Why do you suddenly have to shoot the ending scene first today?
The other actors were also surprised and confused.
After Liu Bige called them together, he explained and said: "The weather is very good, and it is in line with my expectations. I want to shoot a version first. Don't feel pressured. If it doesn’t go well, then don’t use this version and continue filming later.”
After Liu Bige said this, everyone nodded.
Lu Yanhe said: "But, doesn't the ending of the script say that it takes place on a rainy day?"
In the rainy weather, these young people faced separation after experiencing a summer, each with their own thoughts and silence. The status and relationships of the characters are closely integrated with the heavy rain outside the classroom.
Liu Bige said: "I have always had an idea. I want the parting scene to take place on a sunny day. The wind is light and the clouds are light. The world looks like Everything is as usual, this is the feeling I want to present."
Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and roughly understood what Liu Bige meant.
But Yan Lingyu didn't understand, frowned slightly, and said: "Director, in the final parting scene, the reason why the surrounding environment is set to a heavy rain environment in the script is actually to get through this bad situation. The weather reacts to a falling apart "
At the end of the movie, these young people went from acquaintance to familiarity, and finally had irreconcilable conflicts. Not only did they usher in the end of the cram school, but it also ended in a physical sense. Several of them also faced emotional endings.
Liu Bige nodded: "This was indeed the idea when I wrote the script before."
Yan Lingyu asked: "Then why do you want to change it to a sunny day? I feel... this seems to work It weakens our mood."
Liu Bige did not answer Yan Lingyu, but looked at Lu Yanhe.
"Yan He, what do you think?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head: "I haven't figured it out yet, but I can think of many pictures in my mind, that is, for the few of us Say, some things have happened to us in the past, but to this world, I The things that happened to us are actually very trivial. We feel that our world has changed, but at the same time, the world has not changed at all. But it is precisely this contrast that makes everything normal on the surface, but many things inside have changed. A sense of collapsing vulnerability.”
Liu Bige laughed.
He nodded and said, "You understand how I want to feel."
Yan Lingyu and the others still seemed confused and confused.
But actors don’t have to figure everything out before they can perform.
Performance is essentially a feeling.
There are many talented actors who do not need to do analysis and act entirely based on intuition, crushing many technical people. This is the reason.
Although Yan Lingyu and the others did not quite understand what Liu Bige and Lu Yanhe were talking about, it did not hinder their understanding of their roles and their ability to perform their own roles in such a sunny classroom. Confused and hesitant, melancholy and at a loss.
After Liu Bigo took several pictures with them, he stopped.
The actors didn't know why he stopped suddenly and were a little confused.
But Liu Bige just stayed by himself, not knowing what he was thinking.
He Qingqing asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with the director?"
Lu Yanhe glanced at Liu Bige's back and said, "He is probably thinking about something, let him think about it quietly. "He Qingqing sighed softly and said, "I don't know why, but the scene just played touched my heart. It’s very uncomfortable, as if I’m really going to be separated from you.”
“Yes.” Wang Jing nodded, “After entering the situation, I almost couldn’t control my tears. I have endured it for a long time.”
Lu Yanhe smiled softly when he heard what they said.
Bige Liu is really good at finding actors.
The actors he found, among other things, had better empathy than the last, and they were all emotional.
The advantage of finding this kind of actors is that as long as they understand and believe it, it will be easy for them to get into the role.
Three actresses, three completely different styles.
Yan Lingyu is taciturn and has excellent grades, He Qingqing is sunny, enthusiastic and outgoing, and Wang Jing is introverted, stubborn and persistent with low self-esteem.
All three actresses are similar to the characters they play.
In Lu Yanhe’s opinion, among the three actresses, Wang Jing is the best at acting. Her emotions are the most extreme and the most restrained, with a high level. However, her role in this drama is relatively less central. There are only two explosive scenes, and her emotions are sharp and shocking.
But from an industry perspective, Yan Lingyu may be the most famous. She has a beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament, like a white swan.
When Lu Yanhe often acted with them, he couldn't help but daydream about what kind of actors they would become in the future.
Then, reflect on yourself.
After about fifteen minutes, Liu Bige suddenly thought about something and came back suddenly and said: "I want to take a long shot for this shot."
He suddenly said this, Everyone was stunned.
Then, Liu Bige explained in detail how he wanted to shoot.
To put it simply, he wants the camera to start with He Qingqing, shoot He Qingqing first, and then follow He Qingqing’s eyes to Wang Jing, from Wang Jing’s look to Yan Lingyu, and then adjust the camera to Yan Lingyu, and all the way to Lu Yanhe, let the camera complete an arrow-like arrangement between the five people to show that their relationship is still intact on the surface, but has actually begun to collapse.
“No lighting, I want the most normal natural light.” Liu Bige said.
Therefore, according to his idea, he had to rearrange the arrangement, clear a movable track for the camera, and then test shoot to see the effect of the test shot, and arrange the lighting position according to the new camera movement line.
However, according to Liu Bige's idea, only natural light is used and no other light points are arranged. If taken in one go, some lenses will become dark.
This is something that the technical department needs to discuss with Liu Bige.
Lu Yanhe and the others couldn't do anything at this time. They could only sit in their seats and act as models for the light test, asking them to adjust again and again to find the best angle for the shot.
The good-looking here refers to the good-looking of the movie lens, not the good-looking of the actor himself.
This process is actually very boring and boring.
Because they can’t lower their heads and play with their mobile phones, they have to cooperate with the photographer and Liu Bige’s requirements from time to time, do some actions, and see the effect captured by the camera.
Acting is actually full of basic work like this.
As a result, at the end of the day, Liu Bige just fixed the camera movement of this scene and the actor's gaze positioning.
Everyone felt tired, but Liu Bige’s eyes were as excited as light bulbs, full of anticipation and excitement for the official filming of this scene.
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "I know you thought of a good shot, but you are too exaggerated. Calm down."
Liu Bige said: "I feel more and more from the bottom of my heart that we are The movie will be a great one."
Lu Yanhe: "I have always thought so, and I have never doubted it."
Liu Bige was stunned.
Lu Yanhe said: "I know that in order to encourage everyone, you said a lot of things that you may not believe so much, but I always believe in what you say, and I also know that you can definitely do it. You have this ability.”
Liu Bige didn't expect that Lu Yanhe would trust him so much.
This shocked Liu Bige.
“Real or false?” Liu Bige looked at him in disbelief.
Lu Yanhe: "Really."
Liu Bige smiled and said, "Okay, with your encouragement like this, it seems that I can't do it well if I don't do it well."
>
Lu Yanhe: "Come on, you have devoted yourself to this movie from the beginning, and you have made yourself feel reluctant."
"Because you are afraid of failure." Liu Bige After saying that, he lowered his head and smiled softly.
Lu Yanhe looked at him.
"In movies, failure is the norm, success is a miracle." (End of Chapter)
