Chapter 703: Zizi
He Xin has worked with many directors, including directors from professional classes, directors from photographers, and directors from Ye Luzi. Generally speaking, directors with professional backgrounds and cinematographers are often more professional, and they generally set the camera position and lens themselves on the shooting site.
But some directors from the wild road, including Yin Li, Lao Gao, Fudi Demon, including the current Zhang Meng, some of them study art design, some learn acting, like Lao Gao, who is purely a layman. They often hand over the design of the entire visual aspect of the camera position and lens to the photographer on the shooting site.
So the cinematographer becomes half the director, and the director becomes half the producer. This is why people often say that "the photographer is the director's third eye", and it also makes more and more photographers become directors after becoming familiar with this routine.
Chief Jia's royal photography Yu Liwei is the most obvious example.
The same is true for Zhang Meng.
After all, the director is the creator, he needs to instill his own ideas, the concept of the unique story he wants to express into the photographer, and then through the photographer to concretize his ideas, reality, into lens language, and then set the tone of color, movement, etc., to form a unified film visual style.
The most important work in the early stage is to scout the location, and then make a sketch storyboard. Fortunately, in today's crew, director Zhang Meng himself studied art design, and photographer Zhou Shuhao also studied art at the earliest, including Zhang Yi, a famous art designer specially invited from Changying, and Wang Suo, the apprentice of Lao Zhang, who once helped Zhang Meng draw storyboards in "Big Ears Are Blessed", adding up to four artists.
Everyone brainstormed and drew a beautiful storyboard, and the composition style was varied. For example, there are classic symmetrical compositions, traditional centered compositions, frame compositions, and triangular compositions, as well as classic Marklub compositions that are separated by glass windows of different sizes to form separate and independently distributed small pictures.
I have to say that after a long time of training, He Xin has already been able to become half a director, and it is stress-free and enjoyable to interpret from these storyboards and storyboards.
Not only that, before his arrival, Zhou Shuhao had already taken a large number of photographic materials with the camera crew, and as the producer, he also carefully watched these materials.
A large number of empty shots show empty wasteland, dilapidated workers' settlements, rusty steel machines, etc., all of which truly and appropriately show the decay and decadence of this small heavy industrial city in Northeast China. Behind these empty shots, we can reflect the struggle and struggle of laid-off workers living at the bottom of society against their fate.
There are almost no close-ups in all of the footage, not even close-ups, and most of them are large panoramas and long shots. Abandoned factories, large chimneys, dense pipes, frozen rivers, old houses with tin chimneys, factories with cluttered steel debris and gray skies are displayed.
After reading all this, this photographer from Wanwan couldn't help but impress He Xin, just as Xiao Luzi told him at the beginning, "This Taibazi does have two hits!"
......
After a week of filming, they basically ran in with the crew, filmed some cutscenes, and the actors were also in place one after another, including Tian Yu, who had just finished filming "Before Dawn", he couldn't take a break, and came directly to Anshan from Hengdian non-stop.
As for the two heroines, Cheng Hao came to report later, while Jiang Qinqin couldn't come over until the later stage of filming because she didn't have many scenes.
"The Piano of Steel" is a story that takes place in the Northeast, most of the supporting actors are from the Liaoning Drama Theater, and several of them are from the drama or Chinese opera classes. Even Zhang Meng's father, who was helping at the scene, can be regarded as He Xin's predecessor, who graduated from the 80th junior high school drama advanced class. It was with this diploma that the old man was transferred from the Tieling Repertory Theatre to the Liaoning TV Drama Production Center in the provincial capital.
Of course, Xiang Tianyu, Cheng Hao, and Jiang Qinqin, who are not from the Northeast, also greeted them in advance and asked for a Northeast accent in their lines.
Lines with accents are also the basic skills of actors, and this is common all over the world. In fact, China is better, advocating Mandarin, and the lines are basically all Mandarin. But in Europe and the United States, where the character is, then the actor must have a local accent, just like Tom Hanks in "Forrest Gump" said that he speaks of an American southern accent, which is commonly known as the "country accent" in the United States.
There are also people like Nicole Kidman, who is originally Australian, and the Australian accent is very strong, but as long as it is on the screen, whether it is London accent or New York accent, or Western slang or something, you can switch freely.
Therefore, now, including a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists in later generations, go north to make money, but they can't even straighten their tongues, so they can only say hehe!
......
"I'm not kidding you!"
"I'm going to make a piano, it's a big project!"
"Wang Gong's drawings are completely based on Russian documents! Brother Ji, providing venues and materials for free, right? Shuxian has completely given up her singing career! You just say that Wang Kangmei is like that, he also took the initiative to ask Ying to cook!"
In a small slaughterhouse, a butcher in a black leather apron is sharpening his knives on shelves lined with pork fans hanging from shelves.
Covered with a crumpled khaki short coat on the outside, a blue sportswear inside, the zipper was pulled to the top, and then the collar was turned down, a fairly neat beige scarf hung around his neck, wearing a pair of white gauze labor protection gloves, and a cigarette in his hand, He Xinfeng broke in in a rage, and was impassioned at the butcher!
The butcher glanced at him after sharpening his knife, and silently turned and walked out of the camera.
He Xin refused to give up, pushed away a pork fan in front of him, and shouted excitedly at the butcher's back: "What is it for? So that Xiao Yuan can have a piano and never leave me for the rest of his life! They do this, which makes me very excited, do you know? Do you think you don't have these pieces of ...... material?"
"Okay!" Liu Meng shouted.
Then he said to He Xin: "Teacher He, take a look, I think this shot can be passed." ”
"Tsk, Director Zhang, didn't we say okay, you are the director, you have the final say, I won't watch it. He Xin smashed his mouth and waved his hand at Zhang Meng.
Although he is a nominal producer, he is not hypocritical, it is the rule to hand over the scene to the director, and it is also a respect for the director, he will never stretch out his hand indiscriminately, at most, he will communicate privately in the rhythm control or some places where there are different opinions.
To be honest, if it was Ning Hao's producer, he might have nothing to say, but He Xin was named as a producer, although he accepted it happily on the surface, he inevitably muttered a little in his heart, and he was most afraid of a layman commanding an insider.
Now that he was very grateful to He Xin for this attitude, he hesitated a little, and said in an inquiring tone: "Rest for ten minutes, and then let's keep another one?"
"Okay, no problem!"
He Xin answered, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed one to the butcher who was playing opposite him: "Senior brother, come one." ”
The butcher's actor is called Zhou Kui, an actor in children's art, in the 93rd class of Chinese opera, and Xin Baiqing, Zhu Yuanyuan, Li Naiwen, Liu Mintao, etc. are all classmates, and there is also a person named Wang Hailin in the same drama department, who is now helping the company create the TV series script of "The Wind" together with his good friend Yan Gang.
Although digital shooting has begun to gradually become popular, Zhang Meng still insists on film shooting for this "Piano of Steel". In his words, the film picture has the texture of oil painting. There's no way, it's just to increase the cost a little more, and most people who study art have this problem!
“...... You think I wouldn't be able to make it without your few pieces, did you?"
Zhou Kui said helplessly: "You see you're still angry!"
"Of course I'm angry, so who made us friends!"
"That, that's ......" Zhou Kui walked around in front of the camera, looking uneasy.
"What, what? You're still embarrassed, aren't you...... Then you hurry up and find the second brother-in-law, and I'll go find the fat head!"
Last time, everyone helped him go to school to steal the piano, and they all ended up in the game, which will make him fool again.
Zhou Kui is an honest man who can't speak, and he was fooled by He Xin's words, but because of the last time he entered the bureau, he was embarrassed and said that he would not move his second brother-in-law.
He Xin taught him: "The factory we went to this time, the second brother-in-law is a cultivated person, right? You have to be tasteful when you talk to him, do you know what it means to be tasteful?"
Zhou Kui looked confused: "I don't know!"
He Xin waved his hand: "Fool him!"
"Okay, it's over!"
This time, Zhang Meng shouted happily, refreshed!
At the end of work, Zhang Meng also deliberately walked over and greeted him with a smile: "Teacher He, Teacher Cheng should almost arrive now, the mutton casserole will be walked up in the evening, I will have a treat!"
"Okay! I'm sorry to break the bank. ”
He Xin was also happy, not to mention that the Xiuyan mutton soup here is really a must, the mutton is sparse, the mutton soup is milky white, sprinkled with a handful of green garlic, not to mention how fragrant it is, he fell in love with this bite not long after he came here.
As he spoke, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, saying, "If the flight is not delayed and the road goes smoothly, this point should have arrived." ”
The crew finished work, and when everyone just returned to the hotel and got out of the car, they saw a black Audi Q7 driving in.
He Xin stopped and watched with a smile as the car drove in front of him, and as soon as the car stopped, he couldn't wait to help open the side door next to him.
I originally wanted to greet my girlfriend's hug, but I was stunned to find that sitting inside was a cute little girl who looked seven or eight years old and combed two pigtails, staring at herself with a pair of big black eyes, looking at herself with a confused expression, and there was a young woman who looked like she was in her early thirties.
Before he could ask, he saw the young woman excitedly say, "Teacher He!"
Then he hurriedly pushed the very cute little girl and reminded: "Zizi, call someone quickly, this is your favorite Teacher He!"
The little girl looked at him timidly, but still didn't dare to say anything.
"Zizi, call someone quickly!" the young woman urged the little girl with some embarrassment.
At this time, the passenger door opened, and Cheng Hao, who was wearing a long white down jacket, got out of the car and yelled at him: "Why are you dressed like this?"
As he spoke, without waiting for him to answer, he turned to the young woman in the car and smiled: "Mother Zizi, it's okay, no one will recognize him even if he walks on the street." ”
He Xin was also busy apologetic at this time: "I'm sorry, I just finished work here, and I didn't have time to change my clothes." ”
Sitting in Lu Xiao's own car with Cheng Hao, he knew that the very cute and familiar little girl in front of him was the little actor who played his daughter Chen Xiaoyuan without asking He Xin.
Watching the little girl being taken by her mother from the car, those big black eyes were always very ignorant and innocent looking at herself, especially the fleshy face and the corners of her mouth drooping, which was very cute.
He Xin couldn't help but squat down, trying his best to show a friendly and friendly smile and tease the little girl: "It turns out that you are a son, how old are you?"
"Eight years old!" replied the little girl in a whisper.
"Do you know what role you're playing?"
The little girl nodded: "Xiao Yuan." ”
"Then do you know who Chen Guilin is?"
The little girl looked up at her mother, and with the encouragement of her mother's eyes, her voice finally amplified a little: "I know, it's Xiao Yuan's father." ”
"I'm playing Chen Guilin, do you know what to call me?"
The little girl paused slightly, then suddenly smiled at him and shouted, "Daddy!"
"Yo, Xiao Yuan is so good!"
He Xin was very surprised, and then pleasantly surprised, in the end, he was able to become a leader in the post-zero Xiaohuadan when he grew up, and he was really very spiritual since he was a child.
As soon as he raised his hand, he found that he was still wearing white gauze labor protection gloves on his hands, so he hurriedly took off the gloves, touched the little girl's head and smiled: "Will Dad take you to eat mutton for a while?"
The little girl looked up at her mother again, and she was very well-behaved.
He Xin looked up and smiled with the little girl's mother and his girlfriend: "Director Zhang will treat you in a while, and I will give you a reception." ”
While the little girl's mother gestured to her daughter, she was busy and politely said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. He, thank you, Director Zhang." ”
Although the little girl is a child star who has acted in four TV series, this is the first time to make a movie, and she is also cooperating with big stars such as He Xin, Cheng Hao, and Jiang Qinqin.
The little girl nodded her head and said, "Okay, thank you, Dad." ”
"Then Xiao Yuan, tell my dad again, do you know how to play the piano?"
"I will, but I can't play well. The little girl lowered her head and said embarrassedly.
The little girl's mother hurriedly explained: "We have already learned the tunes given by the crew, and we will let ......you play the bullet in a while."
Before she finished her words, He Xin waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, I don't want to investigate, I just want to get acquainted with Zizi first and contact the relationship." ”
Saying that, he went on to say to the little girl: "Zizi, from today onwards, you have to treat yourself as Xiao Yuan, I am your father Chen Guilin, and this is your Aunt Shuxian, okay?"
"Okay, Dad!" the little girl nodded, and raised her head to Cheng Hao and shouted sweetly: "Aunt Shuxian!"
"Xiao Yuan is so good!"
Cheng Hao also squatted down with a smile, hugged the little girl and took a bite on her fleshy little face.
