"Okay, since the younger brother has already settled this project, then this matter will stop here." Edward Jasmine said softly.

After scolding Serena, she had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and finally ended such a topic with one sentence.

However, Serena knew that Edward Jasmine must also be very angry about what she did this time, but this matter had already happened, so she felt that it was useless to pursue it, so she let her go.

After Edward Jasmine finished drinking his coffee, he said to Serena: "At tomorrow's meeting, we will be able to announce the matter about the cruise ship. Serena, go and call your brother, I have something to discuss with you before this." Brother, let's talk."

"Yes, Vice President." Serena nodded and said softly in her heart.

After she stepped back, she quickly called Edward Jasmine and Edward Neil to arrange a meeting.

At the same time, country C.

Xia Yatong has already taken a two-week course at the film and television base. During the two-week course, during the day, Yuanyuan and Manman are taken care of by Zhang Ma and the babysitter during her class. of.

And during this week, because Xia Yatong has already gone through some special training courses arranged by Wen Jingnian before, and she is already a talented actor and film and television person, so in this respect she learned Get up quickly.

This time happened to be that Xia Yatong was listening to Director Su Mingze's class, and in this class, Director Su Mingze was talking about tips on how to direct a play.

It seems that Director Su Mingze's lecture this time does not have any particularly deep meaning, but in fact, this class is equivalent to an introductory course for learning directors, and it is also equivalent to some skills necessary to become a really good director.

"As a good director, you must master some of the necessary skills to direct a play. Among all the necessary skills, the following basic skills, if you have not mastered them, will be of great importance to your career. They are all bad things in life." Director Su Mingze opened the PPT and preached.

Subsequently, a PPT template content appeared on the big screen, the content of the introduction is as follows——

1. Read the script several times to get familiar with every character, even those without lines.

2. If you were named director before casting started, you might cast yourself.

3. The first rehearsal should be "read the script", don't think about acting now, let all the actors and technicians introduce themselves to everyone, and welcome them to ask or answer questions for you.

4. For all rehearsals, make sure you do it on the board you set up.In this way, the actor knows what is present and what is completely absent.

5. Don't tell your actors how to act, they should have their own ideas.Feel free to provide examples of performances, depending on what the script asks for.If the scene is not suitable, it can be adjusted.

6. The memorization of passages and lines is more important than the performance at the beginning stage.

7. Make sure your technical team is 5% ready.You don't want to have a scene where you commit suicide on stage and have the actors stand still while the lights are delayed for [-] minutes, right?

8. Solve all problems yourself, or assign them to the assistant director.If an actor is causing you trouble, whether on purpose or not, remind him that you are the director and you can always recast the cast.Any actor can learn all the lines and passages in a weekend.

9. Supervise the stage manager.You want people you trust to be always on and functioning in the background.

10. Supervise publicity and ticketing.

11. During the show, you sit in the audience or backstage to make sure everything runs smoothly and there are no emergencies.

Xia Yatong and the other young directors who were sitting in the multimedia classroom and watching the PPT felt that some of the eleven items listed by Director Su Mingze seemed very simple and had no value to explore.

And some content seems to be very vague and profound, making people unable to understand why such a behavior is chosen for reference.

Xia Yatong couldn't figure out the content, so as a rookie Xiaobai, she asked, "Director Su, I want to ask, how should I understand the second point about casting by myself? Director, aren't we originally directors?"

Xia Yatong couldn't figure out such a thing. In fact, many people also couldn't understand what the words meant.

After hearing Xia Yatong's words, Director Su Mingze didn't feel any anger or other emotions. After hearing Xia Yatong's words, he patiently explained: "Everyone of you is not a director in the true sense. At least he is not the chief director and has no right to cast actors. This is one of them.

Second, if each of you wants to work hard, then it is bound to work hard towards the position of chief director.

First of all, what is the general director?The chief director is related to whether a play can become a good play is one of the key elements.If the chief director of a play can't control what kind of feeling the play needs, then the play will basically face a situation that will soon be cold.

Naturally, in addition to the chief director, the success of the character is the most important thing that determines whether a play can be a good one. "

After saying this, Director Su Mingze checked to see that no one was running away, and everyone listened carefully to what he said before continuing to speak: "Since the role is the most important thing, then casting The key here is reflected here. Regarding casting, there are a few taboos first—don’t find someone you have a close personal relationship with, unless they audition well, otherwise it’s hard to make a good film after entering with personal feelings. works, and may even create a waste drama.

Regarding casting, I have a small method to tell you. After reading the script, you can ignore other things and some distracting factors, and directly follow the first thought in your brain, and list the people you want to interview again. list, including those you are not sure about.

After that, you start to make an estimate according to the method of elimination, then you will have an idea about the people you really want to use in this play. "

After director Su Mingze's words ended, many people suddenly became enlightened, and they became clear about these situations.

And because Xia Yatong asked the question first, everyone was less timid about director Su Mingze asking these basic questions, and some people continued to ask.

"Director Su, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to solve all the problems by yourself and remind the actors at any time that you have the right to reorganize the actors as you said in Article [-] of the PPT? If this continues, will the entire crew start to lose confidence? "A newcomer director asked, this is a middle-aged man, he looks a bit informal.

Facing the new director's question, Director Su Mingze immediately understood why the new director had such concerns, and immediately said: "Chen Rui, as a new director, I know it's normal for you to have such concerns. , but what I want to say is that you should not always have such concerns.

Because no matter what, you are a director first, and you have to ensure that the film you are responsible for can be successfully completed.If you can't even guarantee it, then what kind of situation can this drama finally become?No one can guarantee that. "

"Similarly, I will not only tell you, Chen Rui, but also all your new directors. This is a situation that all new directors will inevitably face. Some actors think they are big names, so they are arrogant.

Well, if every director chooses to be patient in the face of such a situation, then in the end, not only will the filming time of the whole scene be much longer, but also what kind of situation will happen during this process, who knows? Nor can it be guaranteed.

There is also the possibility of missing the best release time. An actor's duty is to obey the director to film his own film well, and the director's duty is to direct the film he wants to direct.

If someone needs to be taught even this, then both parties are remiss, so you have to remember that as a director, it is very important to manage the actors you are responsible for. "Director Su Mingze said.

He knows that many directors actually have such concerns. The actor is a big-name entertainer and he is a new director. His inferiority complex has made it impossible for him to make the actors obey his orders.

But if it continues in the long run, there is no way for this director to get ahead in this circle. Similarly, he will pamper the actor's psychology, causing the director and actor's positions to be reversed.

If it goes on like this, it will not be worth the candle.So no matter from which point of view, such a result should not happen, and there must be some behaviors that need to be eliminated.

After listening to what director Su Mingze said, the rookie director began to feel a sense of balance in his heart, and he could understand why he did this.

"Well, Director Su, can I ask you something off topic? I want to know what you think about every time you make a movie?" A male director in his 40s asked.

This male director is called Li Bin, a male director who has no talent in filming. Every drama he shoots, although the plot is not bad, has never occupied any particularly favorable place in the box office.

For a director, that's a big blow.The scripts are all good scripts, and the actors are also good actors. Some special effects or other aspects of investment in the filming department are very large, but the final filming results are not only unsatisfactory.

Faced with the director's question, Director Su Mingze probably recalled in his mind all the films he had also made, and understood why this director made only mediocre box office for every film he made.

He didn't have a deep memory of this male director, but he was still able to call him by name.
