Chapter 219 This Wumu is quite useful Wang Ren has discovered several times that Wu Mu, who was watching the fun on the sidelines, would often focus his attention on the thing they were going to shoot next before their cameras did. For example, the current scene is a conversation between Wang An and his adopted son in the drama. Everyone watching from the side was basically focusing on what the two were saying. But here, Wang Ren intended to give a central shot to the red sweater that Wang An was wearing, which had loose threads. Then he noticed that Wu Mu next to him had already fixed his eyes on the sweater on Wang An before their close-up camera moved over. If Wu Mu had seen the film's storyboards in advance, or listened to their discussion before filming began, it wouldn't be surprising that he noticed it. But Wang Ren clearly remembered that Wu Mu was resting in the rest area just now and didn't pay any attention to this side at all. So how did he do it? Wang Ren asked directly, "How did you notice the sweater on him?" "Teacher Cui Fu's actions showed it." "How to say?"
"When he faces the camera, his head tilts slightly upwards, making the seam on the collar of his sweater more obvious. Director Wang, I think you mentioned this in advance when you were discussing the play." Even Yang Rongfa beside him couldn't help but look over, "You can notice such a small detail?" "It's quite obvious, isn't it? Compared to Mr. Cui Fu's usual movements, you can see it if you pay a little attention." It's just such a small detail that's quite obvious? Yang Rongfa was speechless. If it were in the past, he would think that Wu Mu would die if he didn't brag. But now Wu Mu, who had just performed a water-falling scene a few days ago, felt a little uncertain. Moreover, what happened next soon proved that Wu Mu was not talking nonsense. The current scene is naturally very simple for the actor Cui Fu. Although it won’t be stunning, at least there won’t be any problem in achieving the effect they want. But the one next to it is a bit problematic. The actor who plays Wang An's adopted son in the play was sent to their company by an agency that has a good relationship with them. He is a newcomer they plan to promote this year. However, although he is a newcomer, Yang Rongfa felt that there was no problem during the previous audition. He is quite talented, at least much more talented than Wu Mu who could only act awkwardly before. From the time of filming till now, his performances in previous appearances were also remarkable. But those were scenes with less intense emotions before, and when it came to scenes with relatively more intense emotions, he found that this person's acting was a little unnatural. In the current scene, Wang An in the play has begun to re-investigate the death of his son eighteen years ago. Then the adopted son he picked up discovered that something was wrong with him and proposed to give up taking the BJ exam and stay to accompany him. When it comes to the conflict and dialogue between the two people on stage, the performance of this new actor seems to be out of context. After all, he is a newcomer and has no experience acting with veteran actors, so he can't keep up with Cui Fu's emotions. After reshooting twice, Yang Rongfa couldn't help but frown when he found that he still couldn't achieve the effect they wanted. It is definitely impossible to change people now.
Just go along like this? Yang Rongfa was thinking in his mind that the cost of filming meant that they couldn't polish this drama as slowly as Wang Ren had done with his previous movies, and it would definitely not work to keep getting stuck in one place. But just as he frowned. Wu Mu, who was watching the fun from the side, said, "Let them soak the noodles and try talking while eating." Ok? Yang Rongfa looked at Wu Mu in surprise. In the scene, the two people have not eaten yet and are eating instant noodles, but the conversation takes place while they are waiting for the noodles to soak. Move the conversation to the time when the noodles are soaked and talk while eating? Yang Rongfa couldn't make up his mind, but Wang Ren beside him seemed to be thinking, "We can give it a try." The scene began to be rearranged, and soon they started talking while eating as Wu Mu had said. Then Yang Rongfa was surprised to find that the effect was actually quite good. Although talking while eating weakened the intense emotions in the atmosphere, the way the two of them paused from time to time while eating noodles, looked up, or glanced over, really revealed a feeling of undercurrent. No. Has Wu Mu really become a performing genius? Not only can he act, he also has a keen sense of the camera and can even now offer suggestions for revisions to their filming. Is this still Wu Mu, who was previously considered to have no acting talent and could only act in idol dramas? Yang Rongfa couldn't understand. Wu Mu himself was also quite surprised at the effect of the system's [Natural Actor] talent. Regarding the scene just now, he thought about it for a while and naturally came up with a way to improve it. He even had some expectations about what kind of effect the lens would show after the improvement. All I can say is that having talent means being willful. Well, ever since he showed his skills, it seems like he has found a job for himself. "Teacher Wu Mu, come and see how this scene is going to be arranged?" Wu Mu was still touching the fish when he heard Yang Rongfa calling him politely from the other side. No, you are using me as a consultant? Don’t you have your own ideas? Haven’t you prepared the storyboards in advance? Wu Mu was speechless. Wang Ren naturally prepared the storyboards, but as a director of art films, the storyboards he drew inevitably had relatively high requirements for the actors, and close-ups that were intended to capture the actors' micro-expressions often appeared. It would be fine if you can act it out, but if you can't, you will have to reshoot it over and over again. Before, they had only two options: to slowly grind it out, or to simply lower the requirements and go through with it. But now there is a third option. They could just let Wu Mu take a look and hear what he thinks. If Wu Mu’s idea is good, then just use Wu Mu’s idea.
But Wu Mu really has something. Even if he can't help them revise everything, at least he can put forward some of his own opinions. The effects of the few scenes where the light flashed by were even better than the shots they had originally planned. This Wu Mu seems to be quite useful. Yang Rongfa thought to himself. He had heard before that Wu Mu was particularly useful in variety shows. As long as you invite him, you don't have to worry about the program effect and just wait for the ratings to increase. Now I didn’t expect that it would be so useful in filming movies and acting. Not only did his acting not drag down the show as much as he had imagined, he was also able to make changes to their shots and was even responsible for the soundtrack. Speaking of music, Wu Mu’s main job is back. Wang Ren communicated with Wu Mu, "Wu Mu, we are going to shoot a KTV singing scene in a few days. I want to insert a new song here. Do you have any suitable songs?" - ps: There is another chapter with 4,000 words. (End of this chapter)
