Chapter 254: Shu Qi's Touching Memory
When the crew team left the county, it was still sunny, but halfway through, it rained heavily, but fortunately, it was just a shower, and when the convoy resisted the locust fort, the rain happened to stop.
As a famous painter in the United States, Liu Simeng was a literary youth at heart, and he had a secret base, where he built a treehouse, a viewing platform, rope ladders up and down, a suspension bridge in front of the trees, and a shack to sleep and hide from the rain. He usually spends his time here in a daze and paints, and what attracts him is a huge dinosaur fossil here.
The plot described in the script is after Liu Simeng and Yuan Dingguo in Hongchunping had a group fight, and Liu Simeng's way to deal with this conflict was to ask his follower to go to Ye Xingyu and say that he wanted to explain it to her. The first time Ye Xingyu didn't go, if it didn't work once, he invited the second time, this time Ye Xingyu came with bullshit, and when Ye Xingyu came, he used the banner to persuade Liu Simeng to "admit his mistake".
It is very far to go to Liu Simeng's secret base, not only to cross mountains and mountains, but also to slide through a very common local suspension cable to cross the river. It's just that the filming scene is on a hillside less than half a mile away from the Grasshopper Castle.
The secret base was built over several days by the set team, and is almost exactly as described in the script, with the huge dinosaur fossil being cast in plaster, sprayed with the same color as the stone, sprinkled with leaves, and blended in with the surrounding environment.
Compared with Lou Ye's nitpicking and blind sensibility, as well as the solidified long lenses that Gu Changwei often uses, Lu Yue pays more attention to the composition and the continuous transformation of lenses.
For example, when Shu Qi followed the shit to the secret base of He Xin, he saw the pots and pans, pots and jars, hand-drawn sketches hanging on a rope in the shack, and the huge dinosaur fossil lying prone among the intertwined roots.
He Xin is no longer a rookie now, and he is more or less a beginner in the composition of the lens and the characters he shoots, so he squatted behind Lu Yue, looking at the picture in the monitor, and couldn't help but relish.
It is said that a photographer is a technical job, similar to an engineer. However, when the Nortel Photography Department recruits students, it is often to recruit students with excellent painting skills, such as the National Teacher, Lu Yue, Gu Changwei, and Hou Yong, all of whom were born in painting, and Ning Hao was the same later.
If you learn photography from the perspective of a painter, you will not only be an engineer who has mastered a technique, but also an artist. This fully explains why so many people from Nortel's photography department eventually became directors, and many of them were successful directors!
"Cut, okay, it's over!"
Lu Yue held up the small microphone he carried with him and shouted, this shot of less than a minute, repeatedly changing the camera position, wearing a white shirt, blue pants, cross-body with a yellow canvas bag, and a green military uniform hanging on the bag belt Shu Qi, who had walked more than a dozen times one trip at a time, and it took more than an hour to finally finish filming.
Even so, Lu Yue is still a fast gunner among the directors of He Xin's experience, unlike Lou Ye, Guangzhang Ziyi can shoot a whole day with such a scene.
After the rain, the rainforest is steaming due to water vapor, just like a steamer, which makes people hot and breathless, and there are mosquitoes flying from time to time, everyone dare not take off their clothes, and they are wrapped tightly with long pants and long sleeves. At this time, almost everyone's clothes and pants were soaked with the rain dripping from the trees and the sweat on their bodies.
The director finally got gracious and rested for twenty minutes, so that everyone could wipe their sweat, drink saliva, and take a breath. Shu Qi, who was a little physically exhausted, also took this opportunity to go back to the car to change her clothes and blow the air conditioner.
"Okay, it's almost, everyone prepare!"
When the time came, Lu Yue picked up his small microphone again and shouted loudly.
He Xin was still wearing a sea soul sweatshirt, and then put on a blue coat on the outside, and climbed up to the viewing platform more than ten meters high along the simple ladder tied with tree branches.
Lu Yue personally checked the camera position and the angle of view of the lens, although he is very particular about composition and switching from different angles, but he does not pay attention to the light, nor does he pay much attention to the performance of the lens movement, generally speaking, it is not too dazzling. The crew didn't even have a dedicated gaffer, and they used more natural light when shooting.
In his words, he doesn't want any beautiful pictures in this movie, so he just roughs it to the end.
“Action!”
The camera slowly swept over the dinosaur fossil model stuck in the mud, and saw Shu Qi leaning over and touching it with his hand, and asked curiously: "What is this?"
"Bone thia!"
The bullshit who was holding the radio on the rustling station said something, and Shu Qi was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand.
"Dragon's bones!" said bullshit.
Shu Qi looked at him, her eyes full of puzzlement.
At this time, He Xin's voice suddenly came from overhead: "It's a fossil! Dinosaur fossil!"
As soon as the dog raised his head in the camera, his eyes accurately found He Xin, who was lying on the railing of the tree branches on the viewing platform and raised his hands. Shu Qi, on the other hand, looked up blankly for the direction of the sound.
At this time, the camera lifted, spun around the treetops, and finally found the viewing platform hidden between the branches and the blue figure with the subjective lens.
He Xin squatted there, happily raising his arms and beckoning to Shu Qi below.
Then I saw him turn around and take a basket full of fruit from the side and slowly hang it down from the rope, still in his mouth: "A meteor impact, a volcanic eruption, a glacier, maybe an earthquake, a mudslide, a drought, a disease, anyway, it was frozen by a sudden disaster, like a fall in the long river of time......
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then shouted at Shu Qi: "I like this place because we have to become like this sooner or later, and then it will really be called taking root in the frontier!"
It's a pity that Shu Qi was not interested in his feelings, and raised his head and asked, "Comrade Liu Simeng, what are you looking for me for?"
"I ......"
He Xin poked his head out from above, and said enthusiastically: "You eat, I just picked it." ”
As he spoke, he prepared to come down from above.
"Cut! ”
I saw that the two photographers hurriedly dismantled the machine from the shelf, and then carried it up the ladder, followed by an overhead shot, He Xin had to repeat the lines just now, and shoot Shu Qi who looked up at him below, so that the editing of the later shots could be switched, and there were also Shu Qi's lines.
"Miss Shu Qi, how is it?" Shi Yanjiu leaned over and asked.
Shu Qi stuck out her tongue at him embarrassedly.
Shi Yanjiu immediately understood, and with a wave of his hand, he saw two field workers carrying two big signs and climbing up, erecting signs behind the camera, and seeing that the signs were full of lines that Shu Qi was going to say next.
One of the field workers also asked thoughtfully: "Miss Shuqi, can you see clearly?"
"You can see clearly, thank you!"
No way, this is not the way to go.
At first, I thought that this big star from Hong Kong and Taiwan was playing a big name and not working hard, but after filming for so long, everyone can see that it is not that she does not work hard, but that this person's memory is too touching, a typical goldfish brain.
Especially in the next large paragraph of lines that are very characteristic of the times, it is indeed very difficult for her to memorize and express them fluently.
“Action!”
This time it was He Xin who played Shu Qi off-camera, when he warmly invited Shu Qi to eat the wild fruits he had just picked, and when he was about to come down, he saw Shu Qi holding his hands behind his back, glancing at the wild fruits in the basket on the ground, with a small face, rolling his eyelids, looking up at the teleprompter behind the camera, and said: "Liu Simeng, I'm not here to eat wild fruits." I'm here to tell you that because of the Hongchunping incident, which has not been resolved so far, the order in our company has been seriously affected! But you are now hiding in this tree to evade responsibility, which is extremely wrong!"
"Hmm!"
He Xin helped her cheer off camera.
Shu Qi continued to speak righteously: "Maybe this is your usual style, right? But as an intellectual youth, you should have the courage to stand up, accept criticism, and admit your mistakes......
"Hmm!"
Keep plucking.
Shu Qi was obviously quite dissatisfied with the foolishness he showed and interrupted her, and raised her head and raised her voice: "...... I ask for the forgiveness and help of my comrades, and continue to temper myself in the vast world!"
"Cut! Lu Yue shouted.
Although Shu Qi's ability to memorize lines is very touching, the tone and expression of this line just now are quite in line with the spirit of the characters at that time, and Lu Yue, who has had experience as a young person, is quite satisfied.
Next, adjust the camera position again and shoot the shot of He Xin coming down from the tree while holding him.
In fact, this lens originally only needed to change two camera positions, but because Miss Shu Qi needed a teleprompter, she had to change it three times, so as not to enter the camera with a teleprompter.
But this is nothing for the director, as long as the performance is in place, it is OK.
Legend has it that Marlon Brando never remembered his lines, and when he was performing, his mouth was messy and he didn't know what he was talking about.
Even if it was a large line of the great opening of the so-called great drama that he was talking to the funeral home owner Bonas......ella who came to him for help while petting the cat, he was actually cursing the director endlessly, saying that he would help him find four technicians last night, but only two came, and the key was not good-looking.
In this regard, our digital ladies and little fresh meat in later generations have a bit of Marlon Brando's demeanor!
