Chapter 7 Filming Begins
"Why are you riding so fast?"
"In a hurry, big brother!"
He Xin was wearing a beige overalls, a hat of the same style on his head, and a big courier company LOG in the center of the hat, carrying a small bag cross-body.
Riding on a beautiful silver mountain bike, with one foot on the pedal and one long leg on the ground, he turned around to watch Niu Le panting from behind with the camera.
"That's how to send express delivery, you have to rush for time, so that you can send a few more orders. ”
"We're filming! You're so fast, the picture is empty. Niu Le said dissatisfied.
At this time, a van drove up slowly, and seeing the head of the photographer poking out of the car window, He Xinle was happy, and said with a smile: "Brother Niu, you can only blame your skills for not being up to par, but the director has taken special care of it, how can it be real!"
Li Bing's self-adjustment ability is faster than He Xin imagined, from being uncomfortable in front of the camera on the first day, to stumbling and barely completing two scenes on the second day, and gradually adapting to it from the third day.
In the next week, the goods were completely released and flew off. And Gao Yuanyuan, who was dissatisfied at first, was dwarfed, and even couldn't keep up with Li Bing's rhythm.
But it doesn't matter, she doesn't play too many Xiaoxiao scenes, and she is more of a vase in the play.
The filming was on the right track, Wang Xiaoshuai was in a very good mood, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the assistant director Niu Le to take a group of people to shoot materials on the street. One of the main materials is He Xin riding a bicycle and shuttling around the streets.
From the first day of acquaintance, Niu Le has never given He Xin a good face. After entering the group, He Xin knew that he had squeezed out an actor named Tang Bo, and this actor was precisely recommended by Niu Le, and in his eyes, Tang Bo was the best candidate to play Xiaogui.
In the face of Niu Le's questioning and black face, He Xin was very calm, after all, if he was weak and dodgy, the other party might be even worse. Besides, he is also appointed by the director, Niu Le, an assistant director who has just graduated, dares to challenge Wang Xiaoshuai's authority?
Fortunately, the other party may not have high emotional intelligence, or have a small temperament, not the kind of treacherous villain, and the discomfort is all on his face, and he does not secretly make some dirty small actions or anything.
Today, He Xin is deliberately teasing Niu Le! Who told this product to let go as soon as he got out of Wang Xiaoshuai's control, and snatched the camera brother's machine to make a blind comparison. The more angry he looked at this thing, the happier he became.
I usually know how to put on a stinky face, phew!
He Xin rode a mountain bike on the street for three days before all the footage was completed, and he began to squat on the scene again.
The rivalry between Li Bing and Gao Yuanyuan was filmed for more than ten days, and then the scenes of Xiaojian's family's daily life were filmed.
The leading actors are newcomers, and the supporting roles are all old actors invited from the theater, which is a magical match.
For example, Li Bing, who has made rapid progress and can play easily in front of Gao Yuanyuan, in front of the two middle-aged actors who play Xiao Jian's parents, is completely in a hanging mode, directly crushing the little bit of Xiao Se that has just ignited in his heart.
Looking at the superb performances of the two middle-aged actors, He Xin felt more and more that there was a dragon and a crouching tiger in this circle. And he heard Li Mengnan say before that their gang of people in the theater can only be regarded as ordinary goods, and the real celebrities are busy rehearsing and acting in dramas, and only those who can't act in dramas or run tricks come out to film and earn some extra money.
These people include actors who play the manager of a courier company, accountants and other actors, except for Li Mengnan who will be active in various anti-Japanese dramas in the future, there are probably one or two who look a little familiar, and most of them are very unfamiliar.
But in He Xin's view, these unknown actors are definitely not too reckless compared with the old actors who were known for their explosive acting skills in later generations.
They are not famous, maybe they just lack a chance!
Opportunity matters!
This time he can play the role of Xiaogui, which is an opportunity in itself.
However, there may not be such good luck in the future, and not every director will be as bold as Wang Xiaoshuai to use newcomers like him and Li Bing, who have no acting experience.
Opportunity comes to those who are prepared.
Maybe I should really go to the training class of Chinese opera as Li Mengnan suggested, and enrich myself.
......
Shichahai, on the set.
It is said that the crew ran all over the scene for half a year, and almost every alley in the capital before they fell in love with this ancient alley group. The big trees that shade and avoid the sun, the old people sitting idly at the door, the children chasing and making trouble, and even motor vehicles are rare, which is different from the hustle and bustle of the city outside, and has a unique nostalgic atmosphere.
At the intersection of the two alleys, there is a board house on the side of the road at the fork, with broken bricks and tiles, wooden boards and iron sheets, which is a mixed style of illegal construction at a glance.
There are two rooms inside and outside, the outside is full of snacks, cigarettes and alcohol, the inside is full of sundries, and there is a messy little bed. There is a back door in the middle of the room, and outside the back door is a high wall with years. According to the needs of the plot, two bricks were specially pulled up, revealing a hole the size of half a head.
Through the small hole, the walls are full of exquisite big houses, shiny tiles, white and tender walls, shining with the cold style of the rich area. Directly opposite is the floor-to-ceiling window of a mansion, and the furnishings inside are clear.
I came to the set early in the morning, moved and rehearsed several times, and finally officially started filming.
"Let's go!"
At the back door of the commissary, He Xin and Li Mengnan each held a bowl of noodles and ate them.
"Oh, you eat a piece of meat, nutritious!"
Li Mengnan sandwiched a piece of meat into He Xin's bowl, he was originally from Henan, and this dialect is very authentic.
Then I saw him swing a few steps at will, came to the root of the wall, turned his head and swept into the hole, immediately became excited, gestured with chopsticks, and said, "Hey, come on, come on, look, do you see?"
He Xin didn't know why, so he walked over and squeezed in front of the entrance of the cave with him and looked inside.
The script reads: There is a lonely woman in the floor-to-ceiling window, with bright clothes and gorgeous makeup.
In fact, there is nothing, and He Xin still doesn't know which big name the crew will invite to play the role of the little nanny who steals the master's clothes.
Li Mengnan stirred the noodles in the bowl while thinking in his mouth: "This is a woman in the city, she is not satisfied with living in such a big house, and she doesn't have a smiling face all day long." If this were me, I would drink sugar water every day. ”
As he spoke, the thing snorted fiercely and emphasized: "Brown sugar water!"
He Xin glanced at the cave, his eyes lit up obviously, and then he seemed a little embarrassed, bowing his head and pulling in the bowl.
Li Mengnan's mouth was full of oil, and the oil was shiny, and he peeked at it again, suddenly knocked on the edge of the bowl, and said more excitedly than before: "Hey, look, she changed another set." ”
Probably encouraged, He Xin hurriedly looked up into the cave, his eyes were very focused.
"Do you know her?"
"She always comes to me to change the soy sauce. Li Mengnan twisted his neck, didn't leave his eyes at all, and continued: "Xiaogui, look, the women in this city, this change is a lot of clothes, waste!"
After a while, I didn't listen to the reaction, and when I turned my head and found He Xin staring at him, I was stupid, and I couldn't help but bump him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, don't look at it, it's not good for your body and mind to see too much." ”
He Xin was unmoved.
Li Mengnan hurriedly urged: "You go to work!"
"Stop!"
Wang Xiaoshuai shouted, wearing headphones and sitting in front of the monitor, frowning and pondering.
It's clear that this one hasn't passed.
He Xin and Li Mengnan glanced at each other, the two of them didn't know why, this is how the two of them acted when they were in the play just now, no problem!
"Director, what's wrong?" asked Li Mengnan.
I saw Wang Xiaoshuai shaking his head and hesitating: "It just feels too peaceful...... Why don't you add some action and the picture will be a little more active. ”
What kind of effect should the actor's performance achieve?
Some directors will keep talking to the actors, and even demonstrate in person, such as father's love is like a mountain.
A bit of a director has very few words, maybe he can't describe it in words, he will let the actors play over and over again until he achieves the effect he wants, such as the national teacher Zhang Dadao.
What's more, it can't be described in words, and it makes the actor unpredictable, what he asks for is feeling, maybe he has no concept of effect in his heart at all, he needs the actor's performance over and over again to inspire him, such as pretending to be the king of sunglasses.
Wang Xiaoshuai may be a mixture of the first two, he will talk to the actors, but when he is not sure, he will also let the actors perform over and over again.
