The first day of filming went surprisingly well.

During the whole process, except for temporarily adjusting some cameras and ambient light due to lighting problems, Lin Bao basically did not stop.

There are many reasons for this.

In terms of the crew, except for the director Lin Bao and the chief photographer Yin Chuan, the others are all perennial literary films on the Tang side, and they cooperate very closely with each other, and they all have a correct understanding of such artistic scenes.

Second, the actors who participated in the show, some of the key supporting roles, are all veteran actors. Including the role of "Juxian", which was also selected from the popular literary actresses, her acting skills were passable, and she also acted in many literary films, and she was able to grasp the identity transformation from the top of the brothel to Congliang.

Of course, the most important thing is because of Lin Bao.

In fact, the reason why most of the sets have to be constantly reshot, constantly narrated, and constantly revised on the spot, wasting a lot of time is because, for ordinary directors, although there is a script, they can't have a good grasp of the final picture presentation and the situation on the scene.

But Lin Bao here, from the very beginning, has all the content in his mind.

Several main actors, he basically trained all the skills and requirements that may be used in the opera in the previous two and a half months. If you play, basically in terms of acting skills and state, there is no problem.

Even Lu Yuan, although he has not yet filmed his play, Lin Bao is also sure that after more than two months of training, although he dare not say how much his acting skills have improved, at least, it will not be too difficult to play his part.

In terms of the crew, including communication in advance and on-site command, Lin Bao also showed the ability of a top director.

Although he doesn't lose his temper, and even in addition to pointing out a few words about the state of the actor, he doesn't have as many words as Yin Chuan in terms of shooting, but he can control the whole scene, and everyone basically watches him except for paying attention to the scene in front of the camera.

In fact, the control of the theater, to a certain extent, does not mean how powerful the director is. It's that the director can arrange everything in order, and then the whole shooting is very smooth and smooth, no need to tear and scold, no need to order or disobey.

After all, everyone expects the shoot to go smoothly, finish well, and then get their hard-earned money.

The filming time of the first day, the daytime plus the night scene, was only half a day, all in the former residence of Mei Shi.

This is also the main filming point in the movie, according to the plot.

"Director Lin, the next step should be the sixth mirror play......"

After filming a paragraph, several key members of the crew came over and talked to Lin Bao about the next part to be filmed.

At the scene, the props of the other crews who received orders also began to prepare for the next drama scene.

The next scene, the scene of the sixth mirror, is actually the scene when Lin Bao was in the Opera Association before, mainly letting Yu Chenghao experience the external state and inner state of the role of "Cheng Dieyi", "not a lifetime".

Seeing that the field affairs moved out of the screen and the two mirrors opposite each other, and there were still chairs against him, Yu Chenghao also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In the entire movie script, there are many highlight moments of "Cheng Dieyi", and this is one place, and it is a real emotional outburst and a plot twist.

Before, during training, this scene faced the actor who played "Duan Xiaolou" opposite hundreds of times. At the same time, he also took the part that Lin Bao played back from Yin Chuan, and watched it no less than 300 times.

Today, when he officially played, it can be regarded as a test of his training results during this time.

The body was lined with white costumes, and the two actors who played opposite each other also painted half of their makeup with the help of makeup artists invited from the Xiqu Association.

It was originally a daytime play, but now it is night, but because of the indoor play, the courtyard outside is lit with white light, and there are four lotus white lights on the table inside. The whole room is also filled with some white mist, which sets off a dreamlike scene of projecting the heart.

"Two teachers, are you ready?"

The drama came over, and Yu Chenghao and Yu Chenghao went over the lines and positions, and then gestured over there.

Hit the board, start shooting.

"I heard...... Are you making a name for yourself in Bada Hutong?"

"This Wu Erlang meets Ximen Qing, don't fight?

"So, there's a Pan Jinlian?"

"What are these words......

"What do you want to hear?"

......

Soon, Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi were not on the same channel, and they couldn't really understand their status in Cheng Dieyi's heart, so when they talked about Juxian, their minds diverged, and they wanted to take their junior brother to visit the kiln together.

Cheng Dieyi was so angry that he slapped the table.

Then, there are several actors waiting around, as well as several key members of the crew who have watched the prophecy many times.

"Senior brother, I want you to follow me...... No, let me sing with you for the rest of my life, okay?"

"No, hasn't you been singing for half your life?"

"No, it's a lifetime, a year, a month, a day, an hour...... It's not a lifetime!"

......

Yu Chenghao's sentence broke out, and everyone who was quietly watching the scene in front of the camera suddenly held their breath even more.

The explosion of this sentence completely broke out the state of this character.

Some actors who had not participated in the training before were shocked when they looked at Yu Chenghao's soaring acting skills.

And pushed to the close-up, looking at the two actors in the camera, especially Yu Chenghao's performance, Yin Chuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He has seen Lin Bao's performance in this section, and that kind of explosiveness is even more shocking.

And Yu Chenghao's current performance has improved a lot compared to his previous performance in training. Although there may be some differences from Lin Bao's explosive power and emotional expression at the peak actor level in terms of feeling, such a performance can be regarded as an explosion of acting skills.

Soon, this section was played, and with the end of a click, the scene suddenly broke out into warm applause.

Everyone felt incredible because of Yu Chenghao's emotional brewing and explosion in the paragraph just now. Even the actor who played "Duan Xiaolou" opposite him applauded, and then asked the person next to him to help wipe the sweat oozing from the top of his forehead.

He, an old actor with many years of acting experience, has a feeling of being crushed by strength in front of a novice like Yu Chenghao, which is so embarrassing!

Yu Chenghao finished his own performance, and he was also slightly relieved.

In fact, with the adaptation of the transition scenes in the previous scenes, he himself felt that he had touched the state of the whole acting. Today's outburst and the previous training time also suddenly had an outburst, mainly because he really took on such a role.

While panting slightly, Yu Chenghao turned his head to look at Lin Bao and the assistant director of the photographer who were sitting in front of the camera.

"No, it's a lifetime, a year, a month, a day, an hour...... It's not a lifetime!"

There is still a slight difference between the sound coming from the monitor and the sound actually picked up at the scene.

But even so, when Yu Chenghao's words were played from inside, everyone still felt some hairs standing on end.

"Let's shoot one more. ”

Lin Bao's voice made the members of the surrounding crew slightly stunned.

In today's scenes, some of them kept one, and some of them filmed two or three more because of some on-site flaws, but basically, every time, the crew, including Yin Chuan, came to speak.

"Let's shoot one more. ”

This is the first time Lin Bao has said such a thing in today's six shots.

This makes everyone have some speculation in their minds.

The director felt that this paragraph was very good, so he said such a sentence excitedly.

Or is it because

"Okay!"

Yin Chuan stepped out from behind the monitor and walked to the front of the main camera.

The other crew members also got busy very quickly.

In fact, this shot is not long, and in terms of scene preparation, it is mainly the makeup of the two actors. Soon, more than ten minutes, the filming officially started, and it was over again.

Yu Chenghao, who everyone is mainly concerned about, is still playing very well.

"One more shot. ”

Behind the monitoring screen, Lin Bao, who had read this article, did not communicate with Yin Chuan and the assistant director, but directly asked him to shoot another one.

Fifteen minutes later, another one was finished.

Lin Bao, who was sitting behind the surveillance screen, didn't say anything about continuing to shoot, just looked at the picture on the camera.

Then keep switching back to the first two, as if to make a contrast.

Even, Yin Chuan was specially asked to cut into the five mirrors he had taken before.

"Teacher Feng, what do you think?"

After cutting for a while, Lin Bao suddenly turned his head to look at the assistant director next to him.

It was invited by the Tang people, and in fact, there were several directors on the Tang side who were mainly responsible for making art films. This time, he came to Lin Bao as an assistant director, which is actually "condescending".

When Deputy Director Feng saw Lin Bao asking, he thought about it and said, "Before filming just now, Yin Chuan showed me the part you played in the Opera Association before, judging from the acting skills and performance status, Cheng Hao's part is still a little worse." However, in terms of camera expression, his outburst today is already very strong, even if it is some veteran actors, I am afraid that it will be like this. ”

Lin Bao shook his head, pointed to the lens of the surveillance screen, and cut the few scenes he had taken before: "Teacher Feng, I'm talking about the psychological changes of Cheng Dieyi's several shots. ”

"Psychological changes?"

Deputy Director Feng was slightly stunned.

In fact, a very important point of literary films is the little change in the psychology and emotions of the characters. This is an important core of literary films.

When he shoots it himself, he also pays attention to this.

However, what Lin Bao said now, he didn't pay too much attention.

Because, in addition to the outbreak of this one shot, the other five shots are basically some excessive scenes, and they are also driven by a very strong plot rhythm, and what you see is the transformation of the story and the actions of the characters in the plot.

It's like the first shot, Cheng Dieyi wants to save his senior brother, but because Juxian came over to command, he deliberately didn't save him.

The causal reasons of this plot are intertwined, which is very clear, and Yu Chenghao and several other actors are basically performing their own roles.

As for psychology, Deputy Director Feng himself, judging from his own standards, is already good.

Immediately, he said: "Director Lin, I took a few shots before, most of them were excessive shots, medium panoramic shots, I think Cheng Hao performed well." Several shots are divided into the script, and some micro-expressions and actions have been checked before, and they are basically in line with the character's psychology and behavior chain. There are more inner dramas in the sixth mirror, and I think the explosion is very good. ”

Listening to Assistant Director Feng's words, Lin Bao nodded slightly.

In fact, if you have to say that in terms of normal art film expression, the few shots shot today can be regarded as several levels higher than the passing line. Especially the last paragraph, it is a superior expression of emotions.

However, because Lin Bao himself has a comprehensive understanding of the entire story and script, including characters like Cheng Dieyi, in his mind.

When he contrasted these scenes with the imaginary scenes in his mind, he still vaguely felt that Yu Chenghao was very good in terms of emotional expression in the role of "Cheng Dieyi". But the whole psychological change process, some delicate things, are still a lot worse.

These are expressive levels.

An actor's acting skills can make the audience feel emotionally infected, infectious, and even deeply sympathetic.

However, the whole infection is also strong and weak, and some can cause a temporary shock in watching the movie, but repeated viewing, or later recall, can not get such an experience again.

And the deeper the performance, the more you can watch the movie over and over again, and constantly deepen the understanding of the artistic state and psychological resonance of the character.

The deeper the performance, resonance, what is needed is the most delicate and perfect interpretation from the details and psychological changes.

And this movie, aside from other artistic influences and the like, Lin Bao himself from the director's point of view, pays attention to the most delicate changes in the psychology of such a main, highlight, and typical character as "Cheng Dieyi".

What he hopes is to be able to express these subtle changes.

Scene by scene, every scene, there is a character's psychological and emotional outburst, but to connect these psychology little by little and connect them into a smooth curve, the current shooting situation is not enough.

"Director Lin. ”

Over there, Yu Chenghao, who had been waiting for a while, and another actor came over and asked, "Is there a problem with the two of us in the part just now?"

"Senior Cheng Hao, Teacher Jiang. ”

Lin Bao also turned around, got up and said with a smile, "No, no, in this section just now, both of you are in good shape, I am talking to Mr. Feng about some problems with the shooting process." ”

He also didn't want to put pressure on Yu Chenghao and another actor.

To be honest, as actors, the two of them, especially Yu Chenghao, have reached the best of their own state.

And then more things, more designs, are mainly on Lin Bao himself, the director.

"That's good. ”

Seeing Lin Bao say this, Yu Chenghao and the others were also slightly relieved.

"Alright, it's past twelve o'clock, so let's stop here today. Thank you, the first day of the start-up, it went very smoothly! Everyone go back and have a good rest, and make persistent efforts tomorrow! After the finale, in addition to the benefits prepared for everyone in the crew, I personally will give you another big red envelope! Thank you!

Lin Bao looked at everyone and said.

"Thank you, Director Lin!"

"Director Lin has worked hard!"

"Teacher Lin Bao is mighty!"

......

Watching the crew members start to clean up the scene, and several actors also walked out together, Lin Bao said to Deputy Director Feng who was standing next to him: "Mr. Feng, I have some ideas here." It's a little more urgent, so I'll trouble you and Yin Chuan, as well as the teachers who coordinated and executed the production, to come over for a meeting together. ”

"Okay!"

Deputy Director Feng and Yin Chuan next to him all nodded.
