The Rise of Otaku

386 Chapter 386: Difficult Shooting

In the studio, the atmosphere at the moment was very intense. It’s been a day, and everyone has been repeating the same shot because there were too many characters in the scene and the lines were relatively long, so it was inevitable that someone would make mistakes.

It was okay for those actors, but Zhou Yu was shouted at by Ling Daoran constantly. His responsibilities were equivalent to the director’s assistant, responsible for the communication between the director and the actors. Now that the shooting process was not smooth because of various reasons, naturally, he would be the one that was criticized by the director the most.

Zhou Yu also felt frustrated. He didn’t expect that making a live-action movie would be such a troublesome thing. It was much easier to make an animated movie compared to this. When making an animated movie, the mini actors were dedicated and professional. Basically, all the senses could be completed in one go. The speed of making an animated movie was almost like riding a roller coaster. However, look at them now, there was rarely a miracle. The shooting progress was so bumpy that it made people feel that they would likely have a heart attack in the next second.

Alas, it seems that these idols in the amusement park still need to improve their acting skills. If they have a problem acting in a homemade movie, then when they really make their debut as an idol in the future, how can they make movies and TV shows with this kind of acting skill? Oh, actually, at that time, it seems like they don’t need to rely on their acting skills, but their appearance.

Talking about the appearance, this “Aliens in the Amusement Park” has the potential of becoming an idol movie. After all, all the actors and actresses had young and pretty faces, which would absolutely attract a lot of young audiences. Coupled with the popular animal stars, this lineup was absolutely impossible to resist.

The only flaw was acting.

Lou Xiaobao’s performance was okay. After all, he had actual acting experience, and he himself was also doing it very seriously. However, in terms of other people’s performance, even Zhou Yu also couldn’t bear to watch. The most terrible ones were probably Mu Jiajia and Xiao Xi, those two girls.

There was a problem with Uncle Fu’s training method. Although it was mainly about singing and dancing, acting skills should be trained as well. But now, they made the entire shooting look like an acting lesson, and Zhou Yu had to teach them a bit by bit slowly.

The only thing that made Zhou Yu feel relieved was the performance of the knight mounts. Although they were not idols, they were able to perform in accordance with Zhou Yu’s instructions. Whenever Zhou Yu compared their performance with Mu Jiajia and other people, it would make him speechless; they could not even compete with a chicken’s acting skill.

Fortunately, it was a comedy, and the acting skills requirements for it were quite low. If it was a romantic drama, the skill level of this group of people would definitely attract a barrage of criticism.

Anyway, it seemed like they could only use this shooting to gain some real acting experiences. After heaving a long sigh, Zhou Yu collected himself and then clapped his hands and shouted: “Attention from all departments, ready to start shooting again.”

The sound that everyone started to move around instantly appeared. Soon everyone arrived at their assigned positions, and Zhou Yu, the “director”, was still busy operating the old camera that had already made many people speechless.

Everyone all felt very strange. What Zhou Yu did during the shooting fully showed that he was very serious about making this movie. However, since he was making a movie seriously, why not get some real shooting equipment? With this kind of old camera, you think you will be able to make a very good movie?

You must be joking, right?

Zhou Yu certainly wasn’t joking with them. Although he actually didn’t know anything about filming, there was a talented director Ling Daoran, so this small problem could naturally be ignored. They could get the props such as reflector panels themselves, but in terms of the camera, even if he got the most high-end and luxurious camera, it would not help with the shooting any bit.

Because only the camera that could edit the movie was the camera ‘truth’ and the other invisible camera that Qi Yulin used on the scene.

Although there were only two cameras, it was still not up to the standard, but since it was a live-action movie, there was no need to follow the ACG world standard. Anyway, there was Ling Daoran’s legendary editing skill, and the editing, later on, would definitely be able to cover up some unnatural acting skills.

Just when Zhou Yu was extremely busy, Zhou Fu brought the animal trainer into the studio. Zhou Yu was making a live-action movie, not an animation, so the studio was not closed. Seeing that it was Zhou Fu, so the gatekeeper did not stop him.

When the trainer saw that those animals could not only play chicken football but also follow the director’s instructions to make movies, he was completely stunned.

Is this really an animal? How can animals be this smart? This is getting really ridiculous now. It is understandable that they may be able to understand some simple instructions. But shouldn’t complex instructions like making a movie be divided into sections? How can Diandian know what it needs to do from the beginning to the end like a professional actor?

The animal trainer was completely impressed by Zhou Yu’s skill. Originally, he wanted to exchange some animal training experience with Zhou Yu. But from what he had seen so far, Zhou Yu didn’t need his experience at all. Instead, he needed to learn a lot from Zhou Yu. Just when he was about to approach Zhou Yu, Zhou Fu stopped him, “during a movie shooting, Zhou Yu is very grumpy, so let’s just wait until they finish shooting.”

Anyone who was familiar with Zhou Yu knew that when he was really focused on one thing, no one should approach him and look for trouble. Otherwise, they would experience a very violent Zhou Yu.

Of course, this state rarely occurs. The last time it happened was when they were building the Vermilion Bird stadium. .

Zhou Fu knew this clearly, so he took the animal trainer away. At this time, staying in the studio would only make Zhou Yu feel annoyed. Besides, Zhou Yu didn’t care about the new branch at all, so he could handle this by himself. However, why would Boy Yu suddenly be interested in making a movie? Is it possible that it is going to be some big blockbuster?

Zhou Fu suddenly became very curious about it. He quickly asked someone to find the script so he could find out what kind of movie it was.

After reading the script, he found that it was actually a pretty good script, at least it reproduced the classic sceneries in the amusement park. Coupled with the rather childlike and funny plot, it was a good comedy, and it was also more suitable for children to watch.

It could be said that it was a movie that was very suitable for the audiences of the amusement park. Even if the quality of the final movie was not good, it could be used as a promotional film for the amusement park.

Looking back at the studio, after Zhou Yu prayed countless times, this time, they finally recorded the scene smoothly, although the director Ling Daoran was still a bit dissatisfied at the end.

“Finally! There will be an extra meal tonight as a reward, I will cook personally!”

After finally solving the problem, Zhou Yu wanted to reward all the people a little.
