Chapter 249: Filming Begins
Lu Yue is really the most special director He Xin has ever seen, it stands to reason that the first few scenes filmed after the start of filming are generally arranged with quite unimportant roles, and relatively simple scenes are sharpened for the shots, just like a new machine, run in first. But he arranged a relatively complicated group scene in the first scene after the start-up.
Moreover, the general crew director always sits calmly in front of the monitor, and the assistant director is responsible for the rest of the work. But he didn't, but became the busiest person in the crew, in addition to talking to the actors, he always held a small microphone in his hand to "shout" on the scene.
No, even the hard work of moving the rail car will be done by himself. He Xin had played against Shu Qi twice, and he felt that there was no problem, and he was sitting in the shade of a tree at this time. Then I saw that the director was moving the rail car, and I felt embarrassed, so I hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Lu Yue was struggling to move a section of the track, and suddenly felt a lightness in his hand, and when he looked back, he saw that it was He Xin who helped him take a hand, and smiled with gratitude.
"Xiao He, will it be okay for a while?" the two put the track on the ground, and Lu Yue asked while skillfully splicing.
Looking at Lu Yue's appearance as a journeyman, He Xin was a little dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to react, he was originally a photographer, and this kind of work is an old job!
Hearing the director's question, he still nodded and said, "It should be fine." β
It's just that when he looked at the scene, the assistant director was shouting hoarsely at the more than 200 extras under the command, and he was inevitably a little worried.
These people are not professional extras who squat at the gate of Beijing Film Studio all the year round, they are all ordinary people from the surrounding villages, and they are all seeing movies for the first time, and they are all looking at the equipment being installed at the scene with special novelty, as well as the big star Shu Qi that everyone knows.
Lu Yue looked at the worry in He Xin's eyes, followed his gaze at the noisy extras, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's going to be filmed after all, take your time." β
Seeing that the director and the actor were helping, Cheng Chuang, who was still laughing and watching the excitement on the side, also came over to help.
It's just that after he was done, He Xin saw that the house soldiers were always sitting in the shade of the tree and talking to Shu Qi and the others, and he was a little surprised, because in the past, like just now, Senior Brother Fang should be the most positive.
But he didn't pay attention to it, maybe he was talking to Shu Qi at this moment, and he couldn't spare time for a while.
After Lu Yue personally debugged the machine, he began to move before the actual shooting.
In the first two scenes, there was no He Xin's scene, he just stood on the side and watched.
At this time, Shu Qi was also ready, and saw that she was wearing a good shirt with green dots on a white background, green military pants, a canvas bag on her back, and no powder on her face.
Walked a few times, no problem, officially shooting.
βActionοΌβ
Shu Qi in the camera ran into the crowd with a sad face, and the house soldiers caught up from behind, trying to persuade her to go back, but after arguing for a long time, she still couldn't persuade her.
This scene is not very difficult for the actors' performances, the difficulty lies in the cooperation with the scene.
I have to say that using local people as extras is natural in appearance. But after all, it was the first time to make a movie, although the assistant director had been temporarily training with everyone for more than an hour before, but when the camera really swept over, the gang became overwhelmed, either smiling at the camera, or staring at the "sad" Shu Qi with interest, and more people forgot that they were "catching the market" in the film, and simply stopped moving, and the crowd that should have been flowing suddenly froze.
failed to pass several shots, but Lu Yue was still in good spirits, carrying a small microphone, and kept shouting and encouraging everyone: "Okay, good walk! Thank you." Brothers, follow, girls, keep going, very good!"
For more than an hour, he was not irritable at all, and he was always in a positive and optimistic mood, but the assistant director Shi Yanjiu was a little unable to stare, and accidentally said that "the adult holding the child" became "the child holding the adult", which made everyone laugh.
Fortunately, this little episode more or less relieved the nervousness of some extras, and this scene finally passed near noon.
"Put the meal, rest for an hour!Hey, Xiao Shi, don't forget, pour some water on those vegetables and fruits, and change the ...... after a while."
Lu Yue picked up his small microphone again and shouted loudly, no matter how big or small, he had to care about everything.
Lunch is an ordinary boxed lunch, and everyone is treated equally. The weather was too hot, and after tossing all morning, many people's clothes were soaked with sweat. As soon as the director shouted to put the meal, Shu Qi hurriedly hid in her special business car to blow the air conditioner.
Although He Xin also has a special car, he is embarrassed to go up alone, this star's mentality has not been adjusted yet, so he and Chengchuang and them are eating in the shade of the tree.
After a while, after the assistant director Shi Yanjiu arranged the affairs, he also came over with a lunch box.
Shi Yan is in his early nineties and thirties, and graduated from a Chinese opera director. When I just graduated, I was similar to Ning Hao, and I was very good at shooting commercials and MVs, and I followed Zhang Yang to be the director of the famous "Director Zhang Yang, I Love You" in later generations.
successively served as the assistant director of "Love Malatang" and "Bath", and later independently directed two feature films "Brave New World" and "Walking to the End", the former was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival Forum unit, and the latter was shortlisted for the Rotterdam International Film Festival in the Netherlands.
Because everyone is filming commercials, he has a good relationship with Ning Hao, and He Xin also had a meal with this senior brother of the director department who is almost ten years higher than him, and he can be regarded as acquaintances.
When he came to the crew and saw Shi Yanjiu, He Xin was really surprised, it stands to reason that he is now a member of the so-called sixth generation of directors, with two good works, and he will never get mixed up to the point of becoming an assistant director again.
Shi Yanjiu has been very busy in the past two days, and He Xin has never found a chance to ask, when he saw him taking the initiative to come over, he couldn't help asking: "Director Shi, are you here to help?"
"I'm here to help. Shi Yanjiu said with a smile.
It's just that seeing He Xin's puzzled expression, Lu Yue, who was holding the lunch box and chattering with the props, nodded and explained with a smile: "You may not know, I was the director's assistant at the earliest, and this time the director asked me to come over to help, of course I have to come." β
"Yes!" He Xin nodded suddenly, he didn't expect the two to have such a relationship.
"Oh, by the way, what has Haozi been busy with lately? I haven't seen another person since the New Year, I don't even have a phone, and I heard some time ago that he won a gold medal at the Hong Kong International Film Festival?"
"Gold Award in the Asian DV Film Competition. β
"That's the "Big Diamond" filmed, right?" Shi Yanjiu asked again.
"Big diamond?" He Xin was stunned for a moment and corrected: "It's not a big diamond, it's called "Incense", I played it." β
"You acted?"
This time it was Shi Yanjiu's turn to be stunned, and then said with a smile: "Haozi's goods are okay, but he can fool you, the actor, without a penny, right?"
"Uh, friend!"
"Then your friend is enough buddy!" Shi Yanjiu said with a thumbs up, and then half-jokingly: "Then I will cooperate with you in the future, don't shirk!"
"How can it, Shi Dao, isn't it just a matter of one sentence when you speak!"
has been in the circle for a long time, and He Xin has also made a lot of skin, and he is happy to pretend to be generous when there is no such thing as a single word.
"Okay, then we'll settle it. β
Whether it's true or not, Shi Yanjiu was very happy, and said, "What is your "Incense" about?"
He Xin told Shi Yanjiu the general plot of "Incense".
Shi Yanjiu listened very seriously, and after finishing, he said thoughtfully: "Well, it's much stronger than "Big Diamond". β
Hearing him mention "Big Diamond" several times, He Xin couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is "Big Diamond" about?"
"You don't know? I haven't read the serious script, but when I was talking to him, he told me such a story, but it may just be an idea, that is, to tell the story of a gang of thieves and a big diamond, which should be like this......"
The story of this so-called "Big Diamond", although Shi Yanjiu just said a rough idea, but the more He Xin listens to it, the more it looks like Ning Hao's famous work "Crazy Stone" in his later life, of course, it is just a bit similar in the plot context, and the specific details are not as specific as Bao Shihong, Brother Dao, Mr. Feng, and Heipi.
Although He Xin can't remember what the specific box office of "Crazy Stone" was and what awards it won, he only remembered that this movie was very good-looking, and Ning Hao also became famous in one fell swoop, and was known as a "ghost director".
If "Incense" can make money this time, it seems to be very good for Ning Hao to make this "Big Diamond" drumming up, maybe he will be able to gain fame and fortune.
Just as he was thinking divergently, Shi Yanjiu next to him pushed him and wondered, "What do you think?"
"Oh, I just think the story you told is pretty good, Haozi never mentioned it to me. β
"Yes, yes. But, ah......" Shi Yanjiu nodded, and then sighed regretfully.
"But what?"
"You think, how simple the characters of this "Incense" you just said are, just a monk. There are many characters in the story of "Big Diamond", and it is a multi-line narrative, so I am afraid that the investment is not small if it is really made into a movie. β
"How much?"
"It's estimated that it will cost two or three million to say the least. "Shi Yanjiu said about nothing.
He Xin opened his mouth, originally wanted to say that the investment in "Incense" would also be more than one million, but after thinking about it, according to the practice of previous years, the shortlist of each unit of the Venice Film Festival will be announced by the end of July, and Guan Jinpeng should be able to get the news in advance before the announcement, but he has not received a call until now, and he is a little bottomless.
I just kept my mouth shut.
Shi Yanjiu actually noticed it, and originally wanted to ask the visitor, but at this time, he saw Shu Qi coming over with a parasol, so he easily packed up the lunch box that the two of them had eaten, stood up and said knowingly: "You talk, I still have a lot of things there." β
Shu Qi politely nodded to Shi Yanjiu and said hello, and did not take the opportunity to sit on the chair that Shi Yanjiu was sitting on just now, but the assistant who followed behind him moved the bamboo chair to the side with his hands and feet, and unfolded a canvas chair in his hand.
Then Shu Qi sat down with Shi Shiran, took a cup from the assistant, took a sip of water, and then smiled at He Xinzhan and said, "Mr. He, the afternoon play ......"
Before she finished her words, He Xin said: "In the afternoon play, if you follow your ideas, I suggest that it be a real fight!"
"Huh, don't you need to borrow a seat?"
Shu Qi originally came to discuss with him how to shoot this scene in the afternoon, according to the previous scene, she should have slapped He Xin several times in a row.
He Xin smiled: "When you hit me, the director must cut a close-up or a close-up, and it won't work to borrow a position." β
Shu Qi raised his right palm and looked at it, and also smiled and joked: "Then I will fight very hard." β
He Xin glanced at her white palm, and said with a slight disdain: "Just how much it hurts to hit your little palm, it's okay, just come on." However, we'd better get through this time, I don't want to be slapped by you for ten or twenty years. β
"Well, don't worry, no problem. β
......
Although He Xin is the male number one in this play, he is actually still a relatively sloppy male number one, don't look at his role as Liu Simeng is quite arrogant, but he was beaten in the play, once he was slapped by Shu Qi who was going to shoot for a while, and another time was beaten by the educated youth led by the house soldiers on a stormy night. was beaten miserably, according to the script, the beaten head was bleeding, and he was almost killed.
βActionοΌβ
He Xin was walking around in the crowd with a small red apple in his mouth, and he saw Shu Qi running over with a sad face from a distance, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly helped Shu Qi, who almost ran over because of his speed, took the apple in his mouth, handed it over, and said in surprise: "I thought you wouldn't be here today......
It's just that before he finished his words, he saw Shu Qi slap him in the face with all his strength, "Slap!", the decibel level was extremely high, and even she herself was frightened, and she actually forgot to say her lines for a while.
βCutοΌβ
Lu Yue helplessly took the small microphone and shouted to stop.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's my problem, the director will do it again. Shu Qi hurriedly raised her hand and said, while looking at He Xin apologetically, especially her cheeks that were a little red from the slap she had just made.
He Xin touched the place where he was beaten, and obviously said that he would try his best to pass it, and said speechlessly: "Sister, is it okay to be serious?"
"Okay, okay, next time it will be fine. Shu Qi said busily.
"Do it again, Action!"
Shu Qi rushed over again with a sad face, He Xinyi supported her, and said in surprise: "I thought you wouldn't be here today......
"You think I'm going to like you......"
Shu Qi said and slapped He Xin in the face, but when she was about to hit her, she was obviously a little hesitant, and her movements paused, "Smack!"
This time, the voice was obviously much quieter, but just after the fight, I heard the director shouting: "Cut!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm not right!" Shu Qi hurriedly raised his hand again, and at the same time, without waiting for the innocent He Xin to speak, he quickly bowed and apologized: "Mr. He, I'm sorry!"
He Xin had to grin reluctantly and said, "It's okay, you just come according to the first call, don't hesitate!"
"Uh, good!"
......
"You think I'm going to like you! Don't dream, ...... stinking rascal"
In the camera, I saw Shu Qi slapping He Xin on the face, "Bang!", the decibel went straight to catch up for the first time, and now the surrounding extras could stop and look lively in the name.
This scene is about the house soldiers and Cheng Chuang gathering their own group of educated youths to come to the market, using Shu Qi as bait to lure He Xin out and teach him a good lesson, but Shu Qi saw through their plan, pretending to beat He Xin but actually let him escape.
"Smack!" again, then "Smack!" backhand again......
Lu Yue, who was sitting in front of the monitor, couldn't help but gasp, his voice was crisp, and he felt his face numb when he looked at it, but he still picked up the small microphone and shouted: "Cut!"
"This is over!"
Hearing the director's words, Shu Qi and He Xin lost a breath at the same time, but before they could laugh, they heard the director shouting again: "Change the camera position to Xiaohe's front, let's have another one!"
