Chapter 284: Smooth start-up
Regardless of the outside world's discussion of the new film and several participating actors, the crew of the new film, escorted by the studio, the Xiqu Association and Tang Film and Television, began to make preparations for the start of production step by step.
A day in advance, all the actors and crew took makeup photos at Mei Shi's former residence. In the evening, we had a start-up banquet together. The actors and crew have been training and running in the opera association during this time, so the atmosphere between each other is also relatively warm.
Moreover, compared with other directors and crews, Lin Bao is also very approachable because of his star status. And Yu Chenghao and Lu Yuan, the two big stars, also put down the star shelves created outside, which made them and the crew members very open.
Especially Lu Yuan, in fact, because Zheng Rong personally brought it out, he himself is a relatively motivated person who does not have too much traffic, and when the crew first started, they kept some distance from him because of their identity.
But during this period of cooperation and training in the Opera Association, coupled with a few glasses of wine at the start-up banquet, he and everyone were completely integrated together.
At the dinner table, Lu Yuan looked at Tang Xiulan from the Opera Association and Guo Yunfan, the representative of the Tang Dynasty, chatting warmly, and couldn't help but sigh a little.
In fact, as a traffic niche, he himself is also very stressed.
Because his popularity and popularity are maintained by his image and some business activities, and he can't even have the slightest other preferences or personal behaviors.
The maintenance of this image brought him popularity, but at the same time, it also gave him a lot of pressure.
The discomfort in commercial activities, some unpleasantness on the Hollywood set, although it is not what he wants, but always because of his identity, he feels that he does not live like his real self.
And here in Lin Bao, during this time, they followed Lin Bao and Yu Chenghao to train in the Opera Association, but because of the whole closed state, he himself put down that kind of shelf at once.
Every day, I was trained with the members of the crew, even some non-professional actors, and the young actors of the Chinese Opera Association, under the leadership of Lin Bao and several directors of the association, and I was treated equally, but I felt a lot more relaxed and happy.
At such a kick-off banquet, although there is a table for directors and producers, a table for actors, and a table for the crew, it seems that there is no such rule as a commercial dinner.
is also an actor, Yu Chenghao, Lu Yuan's level of starring, and several other actors are sitting together.
And all of this is because of Lin Bao.
He is not a professional director, or even a director, but including the crew, there are several producers, such as Guo Yunfan, the producer and distribution representative of Tang Dynasty, who still has an attitude of learning and discussing.
Although there are no rules and director's temperament, it is obvious that although filming has not yet started, everyone actually has some inner respect for Lin Bao, the director.
"Director Lin. ”
Halfway through eating, Lu Yuan also walked over with a wine glass.
"Lu Yuan. ”
Lin Bao also stood up, took a wine glass, and touched him.
"Thank you very much to Director Lin for giving me such an opportunity, an opportunity to learn. In the past two months, I feel like I've really learned a lot from you. After the official start-up, I will continue to study with the teachers!"
Lu Yuan said.
"Actually, everyone is learning! I'm also a first-time director, and Senior Cheng Hao is also acting for the first time! We are a new team, we can't be in the new grass stage, let's work together!"
Lin Bao also touched it and drank the wine.
Lu Yuan poured another cup and looked at Guo Yunfan sitting next to him: "Teacher Guo, I also toast you." ”
"Haha, to be honest, Lu Yuan, you can come over to participate in Lin Bao's movie, I really didn't expect it. You're our box office guarantee!"
Guo Yunfan said with a smile.
"Don't don't, don't, in fact, I have seen the comments on the Internet recently, and I feel that it may be because of my own reasons, so that netizens will have some objections to this movie. ”
Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed.
Guo Yunfan shook his head: "It's all like this." What you can do is to rely on your own progress and strength to crush these. ”
"Thank you, thank you Mr. Guo for your encouragement!"
Lu Yuan nodded in thanks, and then looked at Zheng Rong who was sitting on the other side, "Aunt Rong." ”
"Xiaoyuan. ”
Zheng Rong stood up with a smile and clinked glasses with him, "Come on, I heard Teacher Lin Bao say before, when you trained, you made great progress, strive for this time, show everyone your own strength!"
"Okay!"
Lu Yuan also nodded firmly.
The kick-off banquet ended in such a harmonious and relaxed atmosphere.
Because tomorrow morning is still the start-up ceremony, everyone drinks more restrainedly.
After drinking about the same, they went back to the hotel prepared by the crew.
Early in the morning of March 5th, the start-up ceremony was held at the former residence of Mei Shi.
The opening ceremony didn't make too much trouble, but invited some media in the film and television industry, and the fans who gathered here early were stopped outside the former residence.
At 11:28 in the morning, according to the auspicious hour calculated by the professional master invited by the Tang people, the start-up ceremony officially began.
First of all, the local leaders in Beijing, the teachers of the Opera Association, as well as the producers and producers spoke.
Then Lin Bao followed the rules and briefly introduced the members of the crew and many actors on stage. Leave another half an hour for media interviews, and after that, it will be unveiled, incense, and officially start filming.
Because the filming process is confidential, the entire former residence of Mei Shi has been closed and opened during this time, and it is specially for the crew to shoot here.
After the official start of filming, to everyone's surprise, Lin Bao, who was a director for the first time, was like an experienced old director, and he was very professional in conducting the scene without the slightest greenness.
This made a group of professional actors and crew members a little staggered.
It seems that this person is not only the top in music production, but also has such a natural talent in directing.
Being able to write a textbook-level theory book like "The Self-cultivation of Actors" is also unambiguous when it comes to on-site directors. It's just more human than human, and it's infuriating.
Everyone began to act on the spot, and they were also looking forward to it.
I look forward to this movie, like Lin Bao's musical works, smooth and smooth, and then release it to become a hit.
Although, as everyone knows, this is a literary film.
At least, although there may not be high expectations at the box office, every crew member hopes to pile up the presentation of the entire film to the level of film festival awards.
Several of the main scenes of the entire film are the former residence of Mei Shi, which runs through several eras of the film.
However, because of the different eras, the environment of the former residence is also different.
Therefore, the main scene of Mei Shi's former residence is a troublesome thing in terms of scene layout.
From the point of time, in the play, the scene in the 70s is the closest to the current former residence of Mei Shi.
If you want to do it with the highest efficiency, shoot it backwards, shoot the 70s part, and then arrange it and shoot the front.
However, after understanding and discussing with many professionals, Lin Bao felt that because in the 90s, the former residence of Mei Shi had undergone some repairs, so the environmental layout was still very different from the actual era.
Therefore, in line with the principle of the most realistic presentation, the scenes of the former residence in each era in the movie story have been redesigned. In addition to restoring some real elements, it is also from the lens level, adding a lot of more expressive decorations on the lens.
In this way, each scene needs to be rearranged, but it can be shot from scratch and roughly in order, and it also allows several actors to have a transition process to adapt to this whole change of mood and detail.
Especially for Yu Chenghao, Lin Bao felt that although he had more than two months of training before, the real test for him was still in the play.
The first scene was a relatively easy one, Cheng Dieyi's family, Cheng Dieyi learned that his senior brother had provoked the Japanese and was arrested. When he received the letter, he was to get dressed and go to the Japanese congregation.
"3, 2, 1!
With the sound of the board, the first scene of the movie officially started filming.
The messenger dragged a letter in a tray and delivered it.
Cheng Dieyi, who was chatting with the owner of the theater, hurriedly took the letter, and after reading the above content, his face changed slightly, and he immediately said: "Tell the Japanese, I'll go right away!"
After saying that, he put his mind at ease, turned around and went to the back room to get dressed.
Because the crew prepared two cameras, there was no need to move the camera, the cameras inside started filming immediately after, and Cheng Dieyi walked in and picked up the coat hanging on the hook to put it on.
The theater owner in the back followed with a tangled face: "Hey, slow down! What kind of congregation is this? This is to lie to you, go and sing it to them! You say don't go......
He followed Cheng Dieyi and turned around and went out again: "There is no one else who can save Xiaolou right now except you." If you go, in case you have something wrong with yourself...... I'm ...... in this garden."
Cheng Dieyi, who was facing the camera at a slight angle, heard this sentence while arranging her clothes, and turned her head to look at the theater owner.
The theater owner smiled helplessly and stretched out his hand: "Eh, yes, hey, go!"
At this time, Juxian walked in from the outside, and when he entered the door, he said, "Die......yi!
Hearing this voice, Cheng Dieyi, who was tying the cloak, froze in his hands, and his eyes were slightly condensed.
Yin Chuan, who holds the main position, watched the performances of several actors in the camera.
Especially Cheng Dieyi, played by Yu Chenghao, couldn't help but admire slightly in my heart.
Although he is a photographer, he has also read the script in detail, and last night, he had a detailed understanding of the content of today's shooting, so after watching the performances of several actors, he also sighed in his heart, in the first scene of the first scene, they did not show any unprofessionalism, and everyone was very into the play.
In this paragraph, Yu Chenghao basically has very few lines, mainly because he is in a hurry to save his senior brother, walking back and forth, and dressing. Then as soon as Juxian arrived, the vinegar in his heart sprouted.
And the action of Juxian coming in, the movement in Yu Chenghao's hand stopped suddenly, and although there was not much expression on his face, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he completely performed that state.
Yin Chuan took advantage of the vacancy of the camera rotation and glanced at Lin Bao next to him, obviously, he was still satisfied with several performances and Yu Chenghao's state, and did not stop in the middle.
Next, because of Juxian's arrival, Cheng Dieyi was not ready to go.
Ju Xian asked Cheng Dieyi on the condition that he completely left Duan Xiaolou.
Cheng Dieyi agreed.
"That's what you said!"
Cheng Dieyi put the white scarf on her neck.
"It's a deal!"
Ju Xian, who was obviously a little disagreeable, put the cloak on his body from behind, and his tone was a little trembling: "A word is a certainty!"
Click!
The filming of this scene ends.
The crew members also breathed a sigh of relief.
Generally speaking, in order to get a good sign of a smooth start, the first shot is relatively simple, and the overly same shot will not be the main scene performance.
This shot is basically the position of several actors, and the shots are all medium panoramas, and there is no need to cut too fine in terms of expression details. Several actors have also read the plot of this paragraph well, and they went down again, except for a few pauses caused by the rotation of the camera, there was no laughter or interruption of the reshoot.
It went very well.
Several actors also looked at each other, and then looked at the director over there.
Here, Lin Bao, Yin Chuan, and another assistant director and assistant photographer of the Tang crew began to review this part of the film through the computer together.
has not been edited, and in the videos that are put together, the plot is not coherent, mixed with the voices of the playing board and the members of the middle crew.
However, in the main part of the film, for more than three minutes, four people stared at every part of the scene, including the communication of the picture layout, some details in the scene, and the sound.
After looking at it again, I basically didn't see any flaws.
After reading it, the other three people looked at Lin Bao, and Lin Bao also nodded.
In fact, before the start of filming, the entire scene of the movie had already formed a complete paragraph in his mind, even a cut paragraph.
Therefore, for the shooting and review of each segment, he does not need to think more superfluously, and compares the picture scene in his mind. When encountering some actors' own performance and relatively good points, it can also be retained.
"Hold a section?"
Seeing Lin Bao nodding, Yin Chuan said again.
Although the first paragraph went well, all four people watched it, and there were no flaws, but the scene, after all, was in a hurry, and there may be some flaws that could not be detected on the scene, and if it was discovered when it was time to edit, it would be too late.
Therefore, even if the shooting goes well, it is necessary to ensure at least one, at least, there will be a replacement at that time.
