Chapter 336 If We Need a Director Who Is Extremely Good at Camera Language, Then You Are the Right Person!

Fang Rong looked at the A4 paper cover without flipping inside. He turned his head to confirm: "The Legend of Sword and Fairy, this is it, right?"

"Yes, the front is the script outline, and the back is the literary script." Chen Xiao looked up at the clock on the wall.

It's 9:30 now.

Cha Zelei and Sun Li are expected to come over for dinner at 10:00.

The script of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is long and has profound connotations. Half an hour is not enough to finish reading and talking about it.

"Director Fang, take a look at the script outline. Literary scripts can be read at home."

With that said, Chen Xiao picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

The script outline only contains the main content of the story, characters, story framework and other general contents.

In fact, this is the document used for preliminary discussions.

If you follow Chazelle, you can only give this file. A complete literary script cannot be given directly.

But Fang Rong, who was in the same company, didn't have so many worries and just took the literary script back and read it.

And in terms of shooting effects, Fang Rong was the perfect choice.

If Fang Rong doesn't make the film, and we really can't find a more suitable director for the time being, then let's just keep it to ourselves.

"Okay, let me take a look."

Fang Rong flipped through the first page, his eyes quickly scanned the background setting and the main theme of the story, and he slowly said: "A growth-oriented protagonist. Save the common people and embody great love."

Fang Rong frowned. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said, "With your level, I'm not worried about the quality of the content. But I'm worried about the market. Are you sure there is a market for growing protagonists and big loves? Love-burial families are not popular now. ”

Chen Xiao just took a sip of tea and almost choked. He covered his mouth and coughed twice, then asked: "Huh? The Buried Love Family?"

That family that is wild and rebellious, rebellious with arrogance, arrogant with unique aesthetics, unique with decadence, and decadent with a bit of stubbornness that refuses to admit defeat?

Is this it╰☆

ah?

Renaissance?

Fang Rong was a little confused by his reaction, "That's it. I want everyone in the world to bury her with her! If you hurt her, she will be buried with you, all nine tribes, and all the world."

Did he understand correctly?

He went back to his hometown for dinner the night before yesterday.

His little niece was watching a costume drama on the sofa, and he took a look.

The male protagonist seems to be the God of the Four Seas, or the God of Nine Heavens, or the Lord of Heaven and Earth? I can’t remember clearly, but he was a big shot who accidentally became possessed.

The heroine was temporarily stunned in front of him, so he shouted.

Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "I understand, please continue."

Fang Rong glanced at the subject again and sighed:

"To be honest, I am indeed worried about the market. How can I say this kind of work is always asking for burial? There is a reason for the screenwriter, but it also has something to do with market demand."

"To put it bluntly, trust between people is very low nowadays, and it is difficult to believe in love and friendship."

"Le Zhong put out a fairy puppet show that adds goals and targets to love. Did you watch it?"

Chen Xiao shook his head.

Fang Rong explained:

"That drama said that God ordered the heroine to make the hero fall in love with her in order to save her people."

"To explain it from the background of the times, no one believes in love now, and love is too easy to make mistakes. So Lezhong turns it into tasks and goals. The heroine can hide behind the goal, under the banner of career, and go with peace of mind like."

“Not only in love, but in relationships today there is a huge level of distrust.”

"In the workplace, leaders require dedication. When it comes to TV dramas, many people want to see the perfect protagonist. They want to see selfishness and decisiveness to relieve their emotions."

"In this context, you want to talk about great love...is that feasible?"

Chen Xiao touched Huo Yun who had just jumped onto the sofa, thought for a moment and said:

"Director Fang, the work you just mentioned can temporarily help the audience vent their emotions."

"But if there is only catharsis of emotions without the element of sustenance, after a meal of catharsis, people will feel empty, tired, or even irritable."

"The audience's emotions need to be vented, but they also need comfort and sustenance. Everyone longs for friendship, and they will also like Ron, Hermione, Shen Meizhuang, etc."

"The cool drama is for everyone to vent, and it has a meaning of existence."

"But it's not enough to have fun dramas."

“Many audiences today watch over and over again works from a time before the millennium, when technology had not advanced by leaps and bounds.”

"This shows that the market needs this type of work."

"Growing-up protagonists are not perfect, but the audience can watch the protagonist group grow along the way and experience the friendship and master-disciple relationship between them."

Fang Rong nodded slowly.

He used to film dramas, so Chen Xiao's grasp of the market must be better than his.

If he said that, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Fang Rong stared at the outline of the script and murmured: "It's pretty good. Experience friendship, love, master-disciple relationship..."

Speaking of this, an electric current suddenly flashed through my mind.

An emotional bond is established, and then...

He slowly raised his head, "Then they all died, right?"

Chen Xiao stopped shaking his legs, held his breath, raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Fang Rong rolled his eyes, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and leaned back on the sofa.

Judging from this reaction, he was probably dead.

It's numb, it's really numb.

He sighed deeply, sat up straight, took out the photo frame he had just put away from the backpack next to him, and handed the photo to Chen Xiao with the photo facing down.

Chen Xiao stretched out his hand and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"My nephew is a fan of your movies and asked me to give you a New Year's gift. It's a photo of yourself."

"Send me my photo? How old is your nephew? This is like giving a math teacher oral arithmetic questions, very cute..."

Chen Xiao took the photo frame, turned it over and looked at it, and the second half of the sentence stopped in his throat.

Okay, okay, close to the face and open it up, right?

Fang Rong pointed to the gift box on the cabinet, "He stuffed it in that box, and I took it back when I entered the room. Now I feel that he is right."

Chen Xiao stared at the photo, smiled helplessly, and put it on the coffee table.

Fang Rong read the story outline, sighed and said: "You gave Sun Li a comedy, and gave him Harry Potter, which is a kid-friendly show. You gave me a TV series that is devastating and offending the audience, but it was a mistake after all."

Chen Xiao smiled and pointed at the script and said: "He can't shoot the Fairy Sword, you are the only choice!"

"Tell me in detail." Fang Rong crossed his legs and tried to suppress his expectations.

Talk about the key points of the shooting!

Also, praise quickly!

Praise with the most gorgeous words in the world!

"I need a director who is very familiar with the language of the lens and is familiar with traditional ideas to shoot this TV series. Isn't it you who can do it?"

Fang Rong, not to mention the past few years, just the two and a half years of following him, has served as the director of photography for works such as "To Live" and "The Truman Show", and the art director of "Farewell My Concubine".

And these are all movies.

On the whole, movies pay more attention to visual effects and artistic expression than TV series.

The director of photography for multiple movies is definitely the best choice.

Fang Rong put down his crossed legs and his expression gradually became serious.

Chen Xiao specifically emphasized the language of the lens to him, which means that the requirements are very high.

"Lens language? Can you give me an example? I will think about it carefully when I go back to read the script."

"You are the director, think about it yourself."

"You have said this, just give me an example, I will find the style."

Chen Xiao thought for a moment.

Take out a pen and a piece of paper from the drawer under the coffee table.

Pointing to the script, "Director Fang, the script outline."

Fang Rong spread the script on the coffee table between the two of them.

"This drama has a strong sense of fate, so we can use more shots to hint at fate. Just like in "To Live", Fugui's father stood up to block the word "longevity", implying that he is about to die. For this drama... for example, the two of them." Chen Xiao pointed at the name of "Li Xiaoyao" and then the name of "Lin Yueru". "On the day these two people met, Lin Yueru accidentally stabbed Li Xiaoyao with a sword. Before Li Xiaoyao fell, the composition can be like this." Chen Xiao quickly drew a few strokes on the paper. "Like this." (Just look at the simple drawing, I tried my best, embarrassing.JPG) Chen Xiao pointed the simple drawing towards Fang Rong. "Two suns cannot appear in the same world, and one of them is destined to disappear." Fang Rong's breathing stagnated. He hadn't read the literary script yet, so he didn't know the detailed plot, but he also felt like he was stabbed. Two suns cannot appear in the same world, and one of them is destined to disappear. It hurts. They stabbed when they met? Damn... It's another sinful half a year. Chen Xiao added: "After this, other scenes can also use the sun as a visual metaphor. But I am just giving an example, you can use your own ideas."
