Zhu Xu and Li Tao are not surprised that Wang Xuan can coach the acting skills of those actors. After all, when Wang Xuan participated in the "Actor" program, he was among the top eight. If it weren't for the inside story, Wang Xuan would have won the championship.
But acting and being a director are not the same thing.
Most people who can be directors have certain acting skills, but those who can act may not be able to be directors. Because the director needs to know a lot of things, including shot script production, scene scheduling, camera scheduling, actor scheduling...
In these aspects, Wang Xuan has demonstrated extremely professional abilities.
The two assistant directors, photographers, set designers, and lighting engineers on the set almost treated Wang Xuan as a teacher, because Wang Xuan would explain the reasons to them when making arrangements.
They can gain a lot.
So when Zhu Xu thought about Wang Xuan's previous statement that directing was also his hobby, he felt outrageous. With the directing skills Wang Xuan has shown, if it were still a hobby, how could it be embarrassing for others?
Zhu Xu didn't know this.
In fact, Wang Xuan's directing skill set can only be considered amateur level, but he has complete pictures in his mind for reference and comparison during the shooting process. Wang Xuan is a person with clear ideas and has acted in his previous life. , I also learned some photography and so on, and I knew how to adjust it after a little thought, so I looked very professional.
Of course, during the adjustment process, he is also making progress, and he is making rapid progress.
During the filming of "Welcome to School Together", Tian Hai's two assistant directors, three cinematographers, three set designers, three lighting engineers, and nine main actors were all making progress. Why didn't Wang Xuan make progress?
...
From the outside world, it was naturally impossible to hide the fact that Wang Xuan personally served as the director of "Together", and Wang Xuan never thought of hiding it. So when it was revealed that Wang Xuan personally served as the director of "Together", countless people were shocked.
"Director? I'll go! Is Wang Xuan going to be a director?"
"I heard that the script of "Welcome to School Together" was also written by Wang Xuan, so he wrote and directed it himself."
"Awesome!"
"That's awesome. I don't think it's reliable for him to write a script, let alone a movie."
"I also think it's unreliable. When it comes to Wang Xuan's lyrics and music, I'm convinced. I feel that his composing ability is invincible in the entire music world. But what about filming? Does he know how to film? Don't make it look different."
"Wang Xuan doesn't understand, but you do? You're worrying about it."
"Just, don't forget, Wang Xuan's acting skills are very good. He was even ranked among the top eight in "Actor"."
"Haha. Can you become a director if you can act? I'm afraid you are not a stubborn person."
"Directing requires many skills, including storyboarding, scene scheduling, camera scheduling, actor scheduling... Does Wang Xuan know these? Do you really think you can become a director just by knowing how to act?"
"Don't argue. I'm a student at Southern Communication University. "Welcome to School Together" was filmed in our school. I also participated in the group performances. I can tell you with certainty that Wang Xuan's directing ability is very strong. Compared with He is stronger than you can imagine. I feel like he is like an emperor on the set, and everyone must listen to him."
"Of course he is the emperor. Don't forget that he is the boss of Tianhai, and the crew are all employees of Tianhai. How dare the employees disobey the boss?"
"This is not the key. The key is that as long as you listen to Wang Xuan, the pictures you shoot will be much improved."
"Just blow it."
"Then just argue, forget it. Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, I will pull you down."
...
The matter of Wang Xuan taking charge of the filming of "Together" has sparked a huge discussion on the Internet.
There are those who support him, and there are also those who say he is fooling around, and there are still many people who are skeptical. Because the work of a director is too much and complicated, involving all aspects of the studio, it is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Cheng Kun sneered, feeling that Wang Xuan was distracted.
Originally, he wanted to snipe Tian Hai's TV series, but now he suddenly lost interest. Because he felt that there was no need to specifically snipe, the TV series filmed by Wang Xuan would also hit the streets.
Wang Xuan is such a shitty director, does he really take himself seriously?
...
Wang Xuan doesn't bother to pay attention to these comments on the Internet. Whether he can do it or not will be known when "We Live Together" is aired.
As his cooperation with the crew became more and more tacit, the filming progress of "Together" became faster and faster. By the end of April, more than half of the drama "Together" had been filmed.
On May 15th, the last scene of "Together" was finally filmed. Wang Xuan looked at the monitor, and everyone on the set looked at Wang Xuan, as if waiting for his sentence.
Finally, after confirming it several times, Wang Xuan nodded: "I would like to announce that after 38 days of hard work, "Born Together" has officially been completed!"
"Long live!"
"Long live Mr. Wang!"
The entire crew fell into an unprecedented carnival!
Wang Xuan smiled and took a deep breath. This 34-episode TV series was filmed in only about 40 days. This was naturally due to the fact that he had a complete picture in his mind and did not need to spend time on setting, photography, and props, which saved a lot of time. It also benefits from the hard work and hard work of all the crew members.
In order to finish filming this TV series as soon as possible, sometimes the filming would last until midnight, and all the crew members were on call and on standby at any time.
In the evening, Tianhai held a closing banquet at a five-star hotel in Wuzhou, inviting not only the entire crew, but also the school leaders of Southern Communication University.
Su Bowen, the president of Southern Communication University, personally paid tribute and even had two drinks with Wang Xuan at the closing banquet.
"Professor Wang, thank you for choosing our Southern Communication University as the shooting location. This is a major publicity for our Southern Communication University." Su Bowen said. Since Wang Xuan is a professor at the Yanjing Conservatory of Music, he used The professor came to address Wang Xuan.
Academic, it's more natural to call it this way.
And Su Bowen definitely meant what he said.
Regardless of the fact that their school is called a university, while the Shanghai Theater Academy and the Yanjing Film Academy are both called colleges, in terms of art school rankings, Southern Communication University is much lower than the Shanghai Theater Academy and the Yanjing Film Academy. In terms of popularity, Southern Communication University is far inferior to Shanghai Academy of Drama and Yanjing Film Academy.
Because of these two reasons, many art school students are unwilling to apply to Southern Communication University.
Now Wang Xuan has filmed a TV series in their school. If this TV series becomes popular, their school will become famous and it can bring them a lot of students.
This is the reason why Su Bowen is willing to pay a favor and end the banquet. Otherwise, as the president of Communication University, how could he have the free time to attend a film crew's closing banquet? Just send a school director and get rid of it.
"Principal Su is so polite. We should be grateful to your school. Your school gave us great convenience during the filming of "Welcome to School Together"."
Su Bowen smiled and changed the subject: "Professor Wang, I wonder if you are interested in taking a job at Southern Communication University?"
Wang Xuan was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Thank you, President Su, for your kindness. But let's forget it. I still hold the position of professor at Yanjing Conservatory of Music, and I haven't even taken classes there."
"It's okay. You can just come over and give lectures to the students whenever you are free, even if you don't have classes. You are a professor of the music department at Yanjing Conservatory of Music, and you can definitely be a professor here. You're a professor in the directing department. I actually secretly watched you filming "Born Together" and found that your theory and practice related to directing are very strong."
Wang Xuan shook his head.
Seeing Wang Xuan's firm attitude, Su Wenbo didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Professor Wang, I watched your filming process, and I feel like you haven't finished telling the story of "Welcome to School Together" that you want to shoot, right?" Is there a second part?”
Wang Xuan nodded: "There is indeed a second part."
"Then when you want to shoot the second part, you must think of our Southern Communication University. We will also give you the greatest convenience."
After getting Wang Xuan's affirmative reply, Su Bowen left.
After Su Bowen left, many people from the crew came over to toast Wang Xuan. The photographer, lighting engineer, set designer, and two assistant directors... all expressed their gratitude to Wang Xuan for his teachings during this period, which helped them learn a lot.
In fact, Wang Xuan is also deliberately cultivating these people. He can't film all Tianhai's movies and TV series in the future, right? To be honest, if Tianhai didn't have someone who could carry the banner, Wang Xuan wouldn't have taken part in the filming of "Welcome to the Window Together".
So he decided that when he felt that these people were able to stand alone, he would come up with some scripts and give them to them to practice.
While drinking and drinking, many people became drunk. Wang Xuan also drank a lot. But it's okay. He has booked two or three floors of guest rooms in this five-star hotel tonight, which is enough to accommodate these people.
On the other hand, while "Welcome to School Together" was being completed, Huayi's youth school drama "Hello, Youth", which lasted three months, was also completed.
The two TV series are destined to collide. As for whether a volcano collides with the earth, let’s talk about it.
