Chapter 284: Jiang Youxi, who is in a good state, and Xu Qingya, who is making rapid progress
With his stiff movements and expressions, his wandering eyes, and his stumbling lines like ancient texts, it is impossible for Du Caige to allow such a performance to appear in his film works.
After NG more than a dozen times, Du Caige also lost patience.
He doesn't want to scold a newcomer, because scolding is useless, but it will make the newcomer more nervous and perform badly.
After consideration, Du Caige simply changed the originally designed lens, changed the camera position, and gave more shots to Xu Qingya, reducing the dialogue of the supporting actress.
Originally, he planned to use this scene to expand the image of the supporting actress and give the supporting actress more shots, so that the audience can better explore the inner world of the supporting actress.
But reality forced him to abandon the idea.
can only wait for Guo Lingjie to grow up a little in the future, and try to three-dimensional the character image of the female supporting actress in other scenes.
After the filming of the indoor scenes of the supporting actress Wang Ludan, it is the last shot of this stage - mainly the rivalry between the heroine Wen Xinran and the male protagonist Lin He.
Jiang Youxi has long been gearing up and wants to touch Xu Qingya, an actress who was praised by Du Caige as "born to eat this bowl of rice".
Xu Qingya was still slow, even grinning, and did not show any nervousness at all.
Liu Zifei and another actor and director are seizing the time to talk to Xu Qingya.
As for Jiang Youxi, Du Caige spoke, don't interfere with him, let him play freely.
In fact, in the entire crew, Du Caige is most optimistic about his acting career, Jiang Youxi.
Although Xu Qingya acts well, she is a Kunqu opera actor, and her master may not allow her to develop in the entertainment industry.
And Jiang Youxi is actually talented in acting, and he is a piece of jade.
It's a pity that he is obsessed with singing.
But Du Caige will also seize every opportunity to try to point him.
As for not letting Liu Zifei and the actor director interfere, it was because Du Caige understood their skills, and they were not qualified enough to train Jiang Youxi.
Jiang Youxi is such a good seedling, Du Caige has to go into battle to train him personally, lest this kid grow crooked.
Wen Xinran and Lin He have several indoor rivalry scenes, some of which happened in the male protagonist's house and some of which happened in the female protagonist's house.
Du Caige decided to start with a simple shooting.
There is no dialogue in the first few shots, and the expression is not complicated, so it is relaxed.
"Scene 149, fifth shot, first time. ”
"The scene took the board and started shooting. ”
"I'll give you a lecture, can you be serious? If you don't listen carefully, I'll go back. Wen happily stood up and gestured to pack his things.
"Eh, no, it's not that I don't want to listen to you carefully, it's that there's a melody in my head that keeps echoing, and I feel bad if I don't write it. Lin He was a little flustered, but forced to calm down.
Wen Xinran looked back at him, a little curious, a little hesitant. "Is it true that you hear people say you're making your own music?"
Lin He lowered his head, a little afraid to look directly at her beautiful face, and said softly, "Yes." ”
Wen happily sat back, "What's the melody in your head?" ”
"Why do you want to play it, you don't understand music. "This is called being single by strength.
Wen Xinran was angry: "What's wrong with me not understanding music? I can't listen to it yet? ”
Lin He glanced at her secretly, "Then I'll play it to you, you are not allowed to laugh." ”
"Well, I don't laugh. Wen happily raised her hand and cut the end of her haircut.
The girl's first appearance made Lin He's heartbeat miss a beat.
“CUT。 ”
Du Caige frowned and looked at the shot he had just taken for a while.
Then the brow furrowed.
Not bad.
"Keep one, do it again. Lin He, put it away a little more, and you have to close it very hard, so that people can feel that you are collecting it at a glance. The kind of adolescent teenager, forcibly suppressed in front of the beloved girl, afraid of the performance of the abrupt beauty, is in this 'hard collection'. ”
Jiang Youxi smiled and nodded: "Got it, Director Du." He recalled the time he got along with Lu Danqing and adjusted his state.
Du Caige looked at Xu Qingya again, and stopped talking.
"Director Du, what are your instructions?" Xu Qingya smiled mischievously.
"It's nothing, you just act like that. ”
Du Caige felt that Jiang Youxi had the mentality of parting ways with Xu Qingya from the beginning, and he was a little bit of a show of acting there.
And Xu Qingya couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and she felt a little crushed in her acting skills, and was taken away the whole time.
But Du Caige didn't want to say anything more.
Xu Qingya's first time filming, it is already very good to have this kind of performance.
Do you really expect her to compete with Jiang Youxi in her acting skills?
That's not realistic.
However, when filming for the second time, Xu Qingya's performance improved a little.
And Jiang Youxi also grasped Du Caige's point of mentioning and acted quite expressively.
signed an acting skill worth 2 million and a popularity of 3 million with a salary of 100,000, Du Caige felt that he was very profitable.
If Jiang Youxi goes to play the male lead in other movies now, the salary will be at least 5 million yuan.
This time it was over, and Du Caige didn't find fault anymore.
He arranged to adjust the camera position and lighting, and then began to shoot the next set of shots.
After checking the placement of the props and the position of the actors, Du Caige nodded.
"Race 149, sixth shot, first. ”
After Du Caige shouted, Lin He got up from his seat, went to the wall to take off his guitar, tuned the strings, and began to play and sing to himself.
“Summer stretching on the grass,summer dresses pass......”
As soon as he started, Wen Xinran exclaimed in a low voice: "English song?"
Lin He lowered his head, glanced at her a little shyly, and continued to sing: "In the shade of a willow tree, creeps crawling over me." ”
Wen Xinran didn't bother again, but listened attentively.
Her English score is actually good, but her vocabulary is at the level of an average high school student, and it is very laborious to listen to, and she can't fully understand it.
The students at the end of the class can write songs in English?
She was stunned and missed a few lyrics.
Lin He's expression was almost reverent. Keep singing.
“It's been a long hot summer, let's go undercover.”
“Don't try too hard to think... don't think at all。 ”
“I'm not the only one starin' at the sun。 ”
“Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside。 ”
“Not just deaf and dumb i'm staring at the sun。 ”
“Not the only one who's happy to go blind......”
Xu Qingya was so attentive that she almost forgot to answer the lines.
Du Caige simply shouted "CUT".
The staff couldn't help but turn their heads and ears, "This is a new song written by the boss?"
"Surely, you've heard it somewhere else. Such a good song, if there had been before, it would definitely be heard all over the street. ”
"That's amazing!"
"I get goosebumps coming out of my ears. ”
"I didn't expect the boss to write such a great rock 'n' roll. ”
"Are you talking nonsense? The rock 'n' roll that the boss wrote for the Walkers has made them a palace-level rock band, and they are recognized by the music industry of Bangzi Country and Sakurajima Country as the top three rock bands in Asia in the 21st century. ”
"I don't know what the name of this song is?"
Du Caige looked at the scene just now for a while, and gave Jiang Youxi a thumbs up, "Yes, good acting, good singing." ”
smiled and said to Xu Qingya, "Are you stupid?"
Xu Qingya said embarrassedly: "Yes, such an interesting song, I fell into a trance." ”
"You don't usually have much contact with rock and roll, you only listen to elegant music, and you are a little unaccustomed to rock music at first glance!" Du Caige laughed at her, "But the effect is very good." Keep one. ”
Guarantee one, that is, I am very satisfied with the effect of this one, forget it.
But to be on the safe side, shoot again.
Reshoot it again, Du Caige took a look, and the effect was not as good as the first time.
He didn't force it, after all, this micro-film was in a hurry, and it would be finished in about 20 days.
If you really have to worry about it, you can't take it for three 20 days.
Generally, a 110-minute movie takes at least three or four months to shoot.
Even if a micro-film only needs one-third of the material, it is very urgent to shoot it in 20 days.
The quality requirements can only be lowered slightly.
So he announced: "Take a 5-minute break, the makeup team will touch up the actors' makeup, and the props team will prepare the props for the next few shots." ”
On such a hot day, the actor's makeup is a little spent, and you can't see it from a distance, but it will definitely look uncomfortable for a close-up shot, and you have to touch up your makeup.
After he announced his break, several people gathered around.
Xu Qingya wanted to see the footage of her performance and wondered how to improve.
Jiang Youxi is here to blow the rainbow fart. "Brother, your song is so cool. I was so excited that I almost didn't sleep all night, and my head was running over and over these lyrics and melodies. It's so classic!"
"Okay, don't blow the rainbow fart, and think about the next shot with peace of mind. Du Caige smiled and stopped his flattery.
Do I need you to boast?
"Staring at the sun" is the masterpiece of the world's most famous rock band U2.
Can it not be classic!
One of the big selling points of Du's version of "Those Years" is that there will be several very classic songs as interludes.
It can even be said that in addition to "youth movies" and "nostalgic movies", it can even be labeled as "musical movies".
It will definitely attract a lot of people who love music to watch.
Du Caige also considered using songs made by Lin He to express the changes in the protagonist's mood.
Like Staring at the sun that appeared in the first half, it has nothing to do with love at all.
But when Lin He fell into lovesickness, more love elements appeared in the songs he wrote.
After falling out of love, the songs he wrote were mainly sad and nostalgic.
As for whether the audience will question, how can the young Lin He De in the movie write such a good song? This is unrealistic?
It's okay, when it is promoted, it is natural to say that this is Hemingway's semi-autobiographical film.
Lin He's character prototype is Lin Ke.
And Lin Ke (Hemingway), a master musician, is not an exaggeration to write such a good song in high school, right?
Well, a little exaggerated.
But this is an exaggeration of art.
Just like in the Mozart biographical film, it is said that he wrote his first piece at the age of 4 and a large symphony at the age of 9.
Do you believe it?
Du Caige himself was stumbling when he was 4 years old, and he didn't know a few words, let alone read music.
So don't delve into this kind of thing.
A little artistic exaggeration and a little beautification are all understandable.
