In 2008, the total box office of Chinese movies was 4.3 billion. In 2009, this number directly reached 6.3 billion, an increase of nearly 50%.

In the ten years since then, the film market has maintained an annual growth rate of at least 30%. In his previous life, Lin Shu did not have the opportunity to participate in the market dividends of the film industry, but in this life, his pace is faster than most people.

Lin Shu doesn't know how much box office his movie will achieve in the end, because it doesn't have a box office reference like other movies in the future.

If we really set a goal for it, Lin Shu only hopes that it can achieve the results of "Crazy Stone", and the final box office will be ten times the filming cost.

Since the film's shooting team was temporarily hired by Lin Shu, they were not familiar with each other. As a result, their coordination needed to be gradually adjusted.

……

On October 8th, in the studio, "Study in Scarlet" officially started shooting.

During the entire opening ceremony, there were no reporters, no worshippers, and not even the actors were present.

For actors with short schedules like Zhu Yongteng and older actors like Wu Yanshu, Lin Shu did not let them join the set early, and other actors also arrived at the set at 8 o'clock.

As a director and producer, Lin Shu arrived at the studio at 6 o'clock in the morning to set up the venue.

Under his central control, the originally unfamiliar team quickly became familiar with each other, and the lighting engineer and photographer also completed the preparations for the first scene of the movie in time and within the specified time.

Originally, the first scene of Study in Scarlet was to announce the circumstances of the first three victims, and then the police station would hold a press conference in order to stabilize the public's panic.

The flashback of the deceased could be re-filmed later, and the press conference was a group scene. Lin Shu felt that forcing the filming to start before the team was fully integrated would only be a waste of time and film.

In order for the first day of filming to go smoothly, Lin Shu could only put it aside and planned to film Watson's first appearance first, trying to give the crew a good start.

If you want to say which profession has the hottest temper, directors must be on the list. Some directors in Hong Kong City in the last century were even known as studio tyrants.

In order to quickly master the team, Lin Shu naturally cannot be a tyrant on the set. But when faced with weak actors, he also has a different way of motivating them.

"Wang Kai, you're not acting in a comedy, stop your eye-catching scenes!"

"Watson is a professional soldier who has just retired from the army. He is not a mime. He doesn't need so much useless body language!"

"Wang Kai, are you playing artificial intelligence for me?"

……

"Stuck! Take a ten-minute break, Wang Kai, come here!"

After experiencing NG for twelve times, Lin Shu finally shouted the order to rest.

Wang Kai, who lost his temper due to Yin Yang, silently followed Lin Shu to the corner of the studio. Wang Zhi, Lei Jiayin and others who were watching the filming on the set couldn't help but feel worried for him.

They think that their acting skills are not much better than Wang Kai's. Today, the opponent NGed twelve times, so maybe they will have the same experience tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Lin Shu took Wang Kai to the corner and looked at him with his head lowered. He knew in his heart that if he could not solve the current problem, the subsequent filming work of the crew would be extremely difficult.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu took out a cigarette and handed it over, "Have one to relax?"

"Xiao Shu, I remember you didn't smoke before..."

"After dealing with people a lot, I found that cigarettes are the best communication tool. Look at the lighting engineer, photographer, props artist and set designer behind the scenes. They were all built by me using cigarettes.

Team."

When Wang Kai heard this, most of the grievances he felt in his heart instantly disappeared. He took the cigarette from Lin Shu and touched his pocket.

"This is a custom-made garment, not worthy of a lighter!"

As he spoke, Lin Shu took out a metal lighter from his pocket and lit cigarettes for himself and Wang Kai. After puffing away, the remaining grievances in Wang Kai's heart were replaced by dopamine.<

/p>

In order to understand his own problem, Wang Kai asked Lin Shu sincerely: "Xiao Shu, are my acting skills really that bad? NG failed to satisfy you twelve times?"

"It's not that there's a problem with your acting skills, it's that there's a problem with your acting method! Most of the filming in TV series is panoramic and medium shots, so the audience won't pay too much attention to the details of acting. But the filming techniques for movies are close-ups and close-ups, which leads to

Your minor flaws in the TV series will be magnified to the point where they cannot be ignored!"

The cigarette handing operation just now made Wang Kai no longer resisted. He thought carefully about Lin Shu's words, and finally had to admit that what the other party said was absolutely right.

"Then what should I do? My acting skills can't be improved quickly in a short period of time!"

Lin Shu finished the remaining cigarette in his hand in one breath. After spitting out the smoke in his mouth, he looked at Wang Kai and said seriously: "I can't help you improve your acting skills in a short period of time, but I can help you perform well."

How to play this game."

"What can I do?"

"You have to forget that you are Wang Kai and think of yourself as Watson."

Lin Shu's answer made Wang Kai a little disappointed. He originally thought that the other party had some acting secrets. But after talking for a long time, it was still the experience school's routine.

"However, I have always acted according to the experiential method. I acted according to the Watson in the script..."

"You don't have to act according to the Watson in the script, but you have to become Watson! If you think about it, Watson is a retired professional soldier, so his words and deeds must have a strong military flavor."

"You have to understand that every word of the character reflects his life, his experience determines his character, and his character determines his behavior!"

Lin Shu's words seemed to help Wang Kai pierce the layer of window paper. Some things that he had not noticed at first became extremely clear at this moment.

After Lin Shu finished speaking, Wang Kai lowered his head and meditated silently for a minute. When he raised his head again, there was no doubt in his eyes, and what was left was only clear and bright enlightenment.

After solving the problem, Wang Kai regained his mind and asked curiously: "Xiao Shu, how do you know so much?"

Lin Shu did not answer the question immediately. He turned around, turned his hands behind his back, and said inscrutably: "Maybe I am that talented actor who was delayed by the director."

After saying that, he walked towards the director's seat of the camera, gathered the staff again, and started filming again!

Although Wang Kai was fooled by Lin Shu, he still made great progress. After two NG attempts, Wang Kai successfully completed the scene where Watson appeared.

The people watching were all shocked by Wang Kai's extremely contrasting performances. Although they didn't know the reason, they knew that all the changes in the other party came from Lin Shu.
Chapter completed!
