Chapter 465: God-Tier Director Takes Command of the Set — Every Crew Member on Location Bows Down!

He wanted to direct a film with single-minded focus, taking part in this movie as a true director!

Gathering everyone together, Xu Can gave them a thorough explanation of the abilities they currently possessed.

A director must have the script thoroughly in mind before he can accurately assign the on-set performance.

"For some of you, I won't hand over the later plot in full. Performing based on the plot you already have is the only way it won't skew your judgment — otherwise the later twists will easily throw off the rhythm you've already built!"

"When a story takes a turn, suddenly seeing the script delivers a kind of genuine performance experience that's completely different — something you simply can't fake!"

Xu Can stared at the on-set crew.

They too had to listen carefully to his grasp of the script and the true abilities of each character.

No one could separate their "seventy-thirty" role and task from the rest — every one of them was connected.

"Professor X and Wan Ciwang are good friends. Professor X possesses telepathic ability — it doesn't require any physical contact, yet it can control other people's thoughts and manipulate their actions. He created the X-Academy to achieve the goal of safeguarding peace in the human world!"

"Wan Ciwang, on the other hand, controls metal through magnetic fields — a magnetic force conjured out of thin air — and uses it as a weapon. His most outstanding ability is disrupting Earth's magnetic field to successfully make himself fly through the sky!"

But in the later plot, the two of them went their separate ways for their own goals.

That was something he could not reveal to anyone for the time being.

In the later plot, the two of them had to act out the intertwined emotions and conflicting opinions.

Not perform as if they were headed for a split from the very start.

Then Xu Can looked toward Mystique.

Kristen Stewart.

Their eyes met.

The tenderness in the woman's gaze fixed on Xu Can — a Xu Can so focused on his work was indeed the most charming.

"During the actual shoot, even in her natural form, her body is covered in blue scaly skin, so your special-effects makeup is going to be quite a hassle!"

Kristen shook her head. "To shape this character, I have no problem with it — it's what I should be doing!"

Xu Can was very satisfied.

"She can likewise alter her appearance by means of something inside her body, and she's skilled at special-ops tactics!"

He analyzed every role in turn.

Letting them perform according to their own strengths, rather than holding up the entire crew's progress with their own interpretations.

Xu Can needed the crew's quality and speed to move forward in lockstep.

So that the online promotion wouldn't stall for too long.

The longer the promotion ran, the longer the audience waited, and the more their anticipation would fade.

The whole film was adapted from a comic. Building on his past-life foundation, Xu Can had once again reconciled the conflicts between the various screenwriters.

And in doing so, Xu Can employed multiple factors.

Whether it was the hot-chick lineup or the hidden bond between the hunks, it let different audiences find the direction they liked.

On set.

The special-effects makeup had all been successfully applied, but to speed things up they couldn't repeatedly remove and reapply it.

The scenes performed in a unified look had to all be shot successfully in one go. To avoid damaging their skin, they chose only the most breathable, top-grade materials.
