Chapter 209: Eat up
In this scene, Gu Changwei is going to shoot a long shot of about four minutes, which means that he plans to take one shot at the end of this scene, and almost use up a 35mm film.
One of the prerequisites for filming like this is that the requirements for the actors are very high, and there are two scenes in this scene, which are on both sides of the side street, and the camera needs to move around at any time. Before the start of filming, Gu Changwei took special care, don't care about the camera, you can act by yourself.
This is a bit like the so-called me-based performance method that He Xin heard Hao Rong talk about when he was in class. This is not common in film and television shooting, and is more reflected in the drama stage. Because there are often two or more scenes on the stage, this requires the actors to perform mainly with me, because the audience below is clear at a glance.
However, Gu Changwei's design is indeed very ingenious, this is originally a chance encounter, you play yours, I play mine, suddenly meet, there is no need to foreshadow anything in the middle.
"Prepare everyone!"
"Let's go!"
Assistant director Liu Guonan replaced Gu Changwei to give the order.
At this time, the camera must be aimed at Senior Sister Zhang and Lu Yulai's sister and brother, it was actually a performance dominated by me, and He Xin didn't care about anything else, according to the previous rehearsal, he took the bicycle to the door of the grocery store.
His wife Wang Tong went into the store to buy something, and he waited outside to watch the children. At this time, he had a scruffy beard, his hair was disheveled, he had set up his bicycle, and squinted his eyes to scan the crowded street.
There is a steamed bun stand in front of the grocery store, and an old man is selling steaming big steamed buns. His buns are very large, one weighs two or three taels, He Xin looks a little greedy, and he went out early in the morning, riding a bicycle with his mother and his wife for such a long ride, and his stomach seems to be a little hungry.
"What's the stuffed bun?"
"Leek egg filling. The old man who sold steamed buns saw He Xin, opened his mouth with a few missing teeth, and said happily.
This old man originally sold steamed buns in the town, with a big skin and thin skin and a lot of filling, which was very popular with the actors and staff in the crew. After He Xin came to the crew, he also patronized it a few times, and heard the old man say that because there were few people in the town, he could sell less than three drawers of buns in a morning market in the past, but since the crew arrived, there were more than ten drawers every day. and often makes guest appearances as extras to earn extra money.
Today's scene is different from the past, this time he has words, it no longer belongs to the category of group performances of ten yuan a day, at least it has to be a small special of fifty yuan.
Although the camera is not aimed at this side, the old man is still very happy, and he plays a clear and eye-catching role.
"How much is it?"
"Five cents!"
"It's expensive. ”
He Xin muttered in his mouth, but reluctantly took out a gross ticket from his pocket, handed it over, and took a big bun.
But he didn't immediately put it in his mouth and nibbled on it, as he walked back to his bike, his eyes wandering aimlessly across the street. When I walked to the side of the car, I first glanced at the little boy who was sitting in the baby seat, twisting the faucet of the bicycle with both hands, and then leaned on the bag rack of the bicycle himself.
Just when he finished buying buns and looked blindly on the street, he had already been seen by Senior Sister Zhang, who was pulling and pulling with his younger brother, and at that moment, Senior Sister Zhang, who was still smiling, was suddenly stunned, if it wasn't for his younger brother Lu Yulai to catch it in time, the basket of vegetables in his hand almost fell to the ground.
I saw that she couldn't believe it, and walked towards the opposite side of the street step by step.
Gu Changwei carried the lens of the camera and followed her all the time.
Photographers don't seem to be willing to use tripods or rails and the like, preferring to control the lens with their own hands. Huang Yuetai, known as the "Iron Hand", is like this, and so is Gu Changwei. The camera on his shoulder was steady and shaky.
In fact, although the camera was not on He Xin's side before, many people still paid attention to his performance, such as Wang Tong entering the grocery store, carrying an iron pot in one hand and a bundle of toilet paper in the other arm, and was tiptoeing from the house to watch his performance.
It should be said that there is nothing amazing about his performance just now, and there is no effect of the so-called "acting explosion" that people often talk about in later generations, but it feels like a "true" word, just like an extras on this street, if you drown in the crowd, you can't find him at all.
At this time, He Xin behaved very naturally, and this scene was not difficult for him at all, because in his previous life, he was a vulgar and down-and-out market man.
He had already seen Senior Sister Zhang walking towards him, but he was still like no one around, so he lowered his head and took a bite of the bun in his hand. Then he raised his head to face the camera on Gu Changwei's shoulder, squinted his eyes, chewed with a satisfied face, and stroked his messy hair.
Unintentionally, he turned his head and saw a strange woman standing next to him looking at him, he was a little stunned, smiled politely at the woman, turned his head, continued to squint his eyes, and chewed the food in his mouth.
One bite, two bites, three bites, but chewing and chewing, the movement of his mouth gradually slowed down, as the peripheral light of his eyes told him that the strange woman had always stood by and looked at him.
Somewhat inexplicable, he turned his head again, looked at the strange woman carefully, and reluctantly smiled at the other party.
Gu Changwei told him before that he only needs to grasp the word "laugh" to play this role well. If his smile as a paratrooper officer before was sunny, confident, and wise, then his smile at Senior Sister Zhang at this time was blank, perfunctory, and unaffinity.
Senior Sister Zhang also smiled at him at this time, and He Xin actually found out for the first time that when Senior Sister Zhang smiled, there were dimples on her face.
He nodded at the other man, reminiscing in his head, but never remembering anything. When he was about to put half of the bun in his hand to his mouth and was about to bite it down, he saw Senior Sister Zhang tilting her head and saying with a sweet smile: "I told my brother just now that you will love me forever!"
He looked confused, his mind hadn't reacted for a while, he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his oily mouth, and his eyes involuntarily looked into the grocery store.
A strange woman walked up to her, and suddenly inexplicably told herself that she would always love her, especially when her wife was still in the store, and she would definitely subconsciously panic at the same time, worried that her wife would see this scene, so she couldn't tell it all over her mouth.
Fortunately, he didn't see his wife come out, he really couldn't remember who the other party was, maybe he recognized the wrong person, he could only look at the other party with an embarrassed smile, an unnatural face, and stammered: "You, your surname?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and wiped his mouth, feeling that there seemed to be a leek stuck between his teeth, and picked his teeth with his nails, and then wiped it on the hem of his shirt very easily, looking at each other stupidly.
"Stop!"
Gu Changwei, who had been standing next to him with the machine on his shoulder, couldn't stand it anymore, and after shouting to stop, he sighed and put down the machine on his shoulder.
He had nothing to say about He Xin's performance, and even secretly rejoiced that he was fortunate to have the cheekiness to invite the actor to come over for a cameo, and after a few scenes, the title of the other party's actor was really genuine. Especially the performance just now, it has completely exceeded his expectations, the only regret is that the one who plays is not good!
"Xiao Zhang, you have to have light in your eyes, don't smile so dullly, you have to smile sincerely, understand?" Lao Gu's embarrassed face frowned and looked even more bitter and hateful.
Senior Sister Zhang was obviously aware of her problem, and said in a panic: "I'm sorry director, I'll try again." ”
Because this is a one-shot scene, I got stuck in the middle, so I had to start all over again. He Xin looked at the half of the bun in his hand, and wanted to throw it a little reluctantly, but if he wanted to eat it, he still had to eat it when he re-shot it for a while, so he hesitated and was reluctant to throw it, so he simply walked to the old man who sold the bun and asked him to ask for a clean plastic bag to put half of the bun in.
When the actor was back in place, Gu Changwei reloaded the film in the machine with a new one, carried it to his shoulder, and shouted at Senior Sister Zhang, who was standing on the side of the street and was nervously doing psychological construction: "Xiao Zhang, is it almost?"
"Ahh Senior Sister Zhang hurriedly responded, but her tone was obviously a little flustered.
Gu Changwei hesitated slightly, but still shouted, "Come again!"
Reshoot ......
"Stop!"
Gu Changwei put down the machine again, and said helplessly: "Xiao Zhang, it's still an old problem!"
"Ah, the director is sorry, He Xin is sorry!"
"Do it all over again!"
"Stop!"
"Do it all over again!"
"Stop!"
......
There were more and more steamed buns that were half gnawed off in the plastic bag, and when it was about the sixth time, when He Xin's eyes saw Senior Sister Zhang walking towards him, he lowered his head, and just handed the bun in his hand to his mouth, and suddenly felt a burst of nausea, and without waiting for the director to shout to stop, he raised his hand and shouted: "Stop!"
"Director, it's not good, I'm going to eat hard, I have to eat first......"
