Chapter 309: Old Driver
It's not black or blowing, Director Chen is really good at shooting women. The most awesome "Farewell My Concubine" is not counted, Gong Li in "Fengyue", Chen Hong in "With You", Zhang Ziyi in "Mei Lanfang", Zhang Yuqi in "The Legend of the Demon Cat", and even Sister Zhiling in "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and Fan Xiaopang in "Zhao's Orphan", there is a peerless woman in almost every work.
Acting skills and filming often complement each other, good acting skills and a director who can shoot, the effect will be multiplied, such as Gong Li, such as Zhang Ziyi; even if the acting skills are very poor, but if you meet a director who can shoot, she will be very smart to show her beautiful side as much as possible, and make the audience ignore her acting skills, such as Sister Zhiling.
At this time, the camera lens on the big swingarm is on the side of her face, and a large close-up of her lips appears in the monitor frame.
I have to say that against the backdrop of the hooded black and gold striped cloak, that flaming red lip is really beautiful. saw Zhang Baiju's red lips lightly, revealing his white teeth, which made He Xin, who was squatting behind the director and looking at the monitor screen, instantly think of an idiom "Haoya red lips".
Because he didn't have headphones, he didn't know what lines Zhang Baizhi was standing on the roof of the city tower, but when he was impressed, when Zhang Baizhi opened his red lips lightly and spoke, he could clearly see the thin strings formed by the mucus formed by the saliva in his mouth between his teeth.
"Good, very good! Cecilia, let's go through the next shot from beginning to end!"
It can be seen that Director Chen was also very excited when he saw this shot, and shouted at Zhang Baizhi standing on the top of the city tower with a loudspeaker after shouting to stop.
The distance is far away, and he can't hear clearly without the help of tools, and Zhang Baiju, who is standing on a high place, can only make an OK gesture in the direction of the director.
It's still a close-up of the lips just now, and after she finishes her lines, the camera slowly pulls back, and a close-up of her entire face appears on the monitor screen.
Against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds, the black gold-trimmed cloak and hat, pink eye shadow, blood-red lips, and white teeth, the color is extremely harmonious, and the already extremely delicate face of Bai Juice is magnified exponentially.
As the camera slowly retreated again, she saw her slowly take off the exquisite black cloak on her body and throw it hard at the head of the soldier with swords and guns below.
The blow of the blower set up in front of her ruffled her hair, and the light silk of bright yellow and red and pink on her body fluttered in the wind, like a Limbo fairy.
Zhang Baiju is really good at acting, especially the charming smile on her face, not just any actor can perform her effect.
"Take it off well!
This time, He Xin specially asked the staff to put on a pair of headphones, and he heard Cheng Qian's sharp voice, and at the same time danced on the screen.
He is helping Zhang Baiju play at this moment, but he is still very devoted, and his expressions and body movements are well interpreted, fully interpreting the image of a hypocritical, cowardly, and obscene king.
Filming is often like this, many of the rival scenes between actors that the audience sees on the screen, in fact, the shots are separated, for example, when filming Zhang Baiju's scene at this time, Cheng Qian is helping her with the scene, and when waiting for his scene to be filmed later, Zhang Baijue will in turn help him with the scene.
In the later stage, through editing, what is presented on the big screen becomes a wonderful rivalry between the two actors. He Xin and Xie Qiwang also filmed this way when they filmed each other before. Unless it is two actors in the same frame and a long shot at the same time, there will be a rivalry between the actors on the shooting set.
Compared with that kind of long shot, it is obvious that these fragmented shots today have relatively low requirements for the actors' acting skills, and are more presented to the audience through post-editing.
In later generations, this operation was also imitated by the filming of TV dramas, and the original intention may have been to increase the excitement of the picture. It's just that the latter company has slowly evolved into an operation that lowers the threshold for actors.
For example, after the filming of a play, the other characters in the play may not be able to see the real starring role, and they are playing with Wen Ti, Wu Ti, and all kinds of substitutes, which have become the so-called little fresh meat, traffic and various lazy or time-saving tools in later generations, they just need to pretend to be forced to the camera, and through editing in the later stage, they are still the protagonists in the play.
This is why actors often win awards through literary films. Because of a 90-minute literary film, the shots of the whole film may only be more than 100, because literary films are more expressed through the performances of actors, and there will be many long shots. The same 90-minute action commercial blockbuster may need to be edited by thousands, or even thousands of shots, and more through intense fragmented shots such as action and explosions to give the audience a visual impact.
Therefore, whether it is a literary film or a commercial film, regardless of the quality of the movie, in terms of the difficulty of the performance, if the literary film is compared to the five major leagues, then those action commercial blockbusters only need to be at the level of the Super League.
It's like Wu Jing in later generations can be called the first person in China's box office with a box office of 15 billion, but does Wu Jing have acting skills?
Well, let's not discuss that.
Back at the shooting site, as soon as Cheng Qian's words fell, the originally charming smile on Zhang Baiju's face suddenly froze, but it was replaced by shock and unimaginability.
"Take it off!"
Just as Cheng Qian was urging on the side, a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes.
She raised her eyebrows at the silver-helmeted and black-robed soldier who had already put down the weapons in her hands downstairs, and put on a seductive posture and said, "Do any of you want to see what I am wearing under this dress? Then pick up your weapons......
With Zhang Baiju's various bewitching body movements, the lens of the camera on the big swingarm slowly rises, giving a large panoramic view.
The soldiers in silver helmets and black robes below, including King Xie Qi, who was still sitting on the golden chair as a human flesh set at this time, all looked up stupidly at the bewitching woman on the top of the city tower.
But as Zhang Baiju's expression changed, he pointed to Cheng Qian, who had a lewd face, and shouted: "Aim at him!"
The soldiers below leaned down to pick up their weapons and aimed at the king standing on the top of the city tower, so frightened that Cheng Qian was shocked.
"Okay, this one is over! Everyone rest for ten minutes and prepare for the next one!"
As Director Chen shouted, there was a burst of cheers from the scene.
Especially those extras, with more than 20 pounds of armor on their bodies, it was really difficult to stand under the sun. However, even if they are resting, they can't move around at will, they can only rest in place, especially they can't get close to the big stars such as Chen Dadao, Xie Qiwang, and Zhang Baiju, asking for autographs or accosting.
He Xin saw an extras trying to approach King Xie before him, and he was immediately called back by the staff on the side.
may be an upward and downward effect, he found that the staff on the scene were not very friendly to the extras, and the tone of speech was very impulsive, and there were even cursing. However, in the face of this group of extras with mixed qualities, if they want to manage it well, the crew is also very difficult, and it is inevitable that the anger will become a little bigger.
Today's shooting went well, Director Chen was in a good mood, he took off his headphones and saw that He Xin had been watching from the side, half joking and half asking in a somewhat examining tone: "Xiao He, what did you think of these two shots just now?"
"Uh......"
said that it was two shots, but in fact, the first shot was very short, and it was a close-up of Zhang Baiju's mouth when he spoke.
He thought about it for a moment and said, "Both shots are good, but it would be perfect to replace the beginning of the second shot with the first shot." ”
The reason is very simple, that is, when Zhang Baiju speaks in the first shot, there is a thin string formed by saliva mucus between the opening and closing of his teeth, but in the second shot, there is no more. This should be completely accidental, drink saliva or swallow saliva, this kind of drawing is gone.
Although the close-up of Zhang Baiju's mouth when Zhang Baiju speaks in the second shot is still perfect, without the drawing of this slime, the original reverie-inducing temptation and obscene taste is gone, and what remains is the beauty of simple appreciation.
Hey?
Director Chen glanced at him unexpectedly, then showed a smile that only the old driver understood, patted him on the shoulder, and walked out of the tent without saying a word.
Didn't say anything?
Well, Director Chen also wants to be embarrassed, just like if he doesn't discuss Wu Jing's acting skills, he will never discuss with you private topics that expose the dark side of his heart.
