Chapter 290: Murphy's Law
"Card, good. Director Hu Defa stood up excitedly, applauded vigorously a few times, and praised: "Very good!"
With the actions of director Hu Defa, the lighting, field affairs, photography and other staff of the crew also put down their work and burst into warm applause.
Although the local group performers in the curry country of the crew do not understand Chinese, their joyful expressions and clapping movements are the common language of the world. These curry country group performers also applauded and cheered along with the crew, and the entire street where the filming was filmed was filled with cheers.
Looking at the cheering group performers, producer Tian Lin said to the field attendant Xiaocao next to him: "Today, the group performers of these curry countries have also worked hard, and when they are paid 20% more." ”
Xiao Cao, the field manager, looked at Tian Lin with admiration on his face, and praised: "Mr. Tian, you are the first producer I have ever met who took the initiative to increase the salary of group performances. ”
Producer Tian Lin touched his stomach with a smile and said: "It's the same for you crew members, as long as you work hard, I will give you a big red envelope when you finish the show,"
The applause and cheers of the staff were even more enthusiastic than before. Producer Tian Lin continued to touch his round belly, thinking: "What is your salary, and how much money can you give me if you can finish it earlier." ”
If Chen Minhao's performance method is acting, then Wang Ruozhou's performance method is experiential.
Experiential is a way of acting, in which the actor finds the inner experience, finds and uses the psychological basis of the character to create the character from the inside out.
Since the beginning of filming, Wang Ruozhou deliberately kept a certain distance from Chen Minhao in the crew.
He once explained: "If the two often meet in the crew, then when he is filming, the person standing in front of him will often be Chen Minhao." and not Shao Fei in "The Detective". ”
So in these ten days of filming, after the scenes filmed by the two, Wang Ruozhou immediately returned to his RV, or continued to get along with Chen Minhao as a member of the crew.
Unexpectedly, after the filming of this scene ended, Wang Ruozhou did not go back to his RV as soon as possible, but praised Chen Minhao: "Your acting skills are really good, no wonder Director Hu Defa values you so much, and he has to decide you." “
Chen Minhao smiled, but he didn't say anything, he is really good at this kind of long shot.
For the shooting of such a long shot, it is the first time for Chen Minhao to shoot a shot in the original time, and the time to shoot a shot in the original will not exceed 1 minute.
But this time, the camera didn't switch for about 5 minutes, in other words, at 4 minutes and 30 seconds, you had to start all over again after making a mistake.
But what Chen Minhao is best at is stable output, as long as he can find the right state and performance method, his acting skills rarely appear unstable, at least there will be no mistakes because of the first pass of the clip, and the second time.
Director Hu Defa did not come over to speak, but his expression already showed his satisfaction.
Due to the outstanding performance of Chen Minhao and Wang Ruozhou, the original two-day shooting cycle was compressed to one day, saving one day's time.
For the entire crew, it means that the budget has been saved a lot of money, and it also means that the director has super control, which is one of the competitiveness in the market of commercial film directors.
Director Hu Defa thought beautifully: If I can maintain this shooting rhythm, after the filming of the movie "Detective", as long as the box office is okay, then there should be more investors looking for myself as a director, and then my own script choice will be greater.
Director Hu Defa picked up the horn again: "Okay, prepare to transfer the position to shoot the next scene, and everyone will rest for 30 minutes." ”
He looked at the busy crew and thought: As long as I can always ensure such a shooting rhythm, I firmly chose Chen Minhao to play Shao Fei at that time.
His acting skills are passable, and he has exceeded his expectations, plus some time ago on Weibo #Retweet Chen Minhao# and #The harder you work, the luckier you are#, this Chen Minhao is in a very high topic, and he has his own popularity.
And this made Chen Minhao's "Detective" filmed by the group also attracted the attention of many netizens.
Murphy's Law, if you're worried about something happening, then it's more likely to happen
The last thing director Hu Defa wanted to see happened, there was still a problem with the crew's shooting, and the actress Jiang Xiaoyan, who played Siyuan, couldn't come to film.
Jiang Xiaoyan joined the group in early February, and she will shoot in a Xianxia film in January, but there was an accident with the props, and now she is in the hospital.
Chen Minhao, who heard the news, was worried about the filming progress of the crew, and at the same time, he also wrote buying insurance into his to-do list.
Siyuan played by Jiang Xiaoyan is a very important role.
The reason for the story of "Detective" is: a girl named Siyuan was sexually assaulted and did not dare to speak, but wrote her unfortunate experience in the diary, and her adoptive father killed the person who sexually assaulted her and blamed the substitute ghost Jiang Long after seeing the diary.
And the appearance of Siyuan's character is very fresh, after Jiang Long was framed, Shao Fei played by Chen Minhao launched an investigation to prove his innocence in order to avoid pursuit.
They started with the victim to find out about his son's disappearance, and then found a little girl named Siyuan who was in the same school as the victim's son.
The role of Siyuan has high requirements for acting skills, and at the beginning, the audience should feel that Siyuan's simplicity is natural.
In this way, at the end, when the suspicion of the case is revealed, and Siyuan becomes the center of the entire case, when there is a big reversal, the audience will be impacted.
The truth of "Detective" is: the ultimate mastermind behind it is this little girl Siyuan, who looks harmless to humans and animals, after she accidentally killed the boy in the same class, she was worried that the boy's father would find her, so she forged a diary, made up a story, and wrote the method of killing in the diary, intending to use the perverted adoptive father who has always been obsessed with her to kill the boy's father.
This role has very high requirements for age and acting skills, after all, the older ones have no sense of substitution, and the actors with poor acting skills will play this plot bloody and inexplicable.
In addition, it is also required that this role can be arrived as soon as possible, so Hu Defa cannot find a replacement actor in a short time. Seeing that the time was approaching the beginning of February, Hood was so worried that the corners of his mouth began to bubble.
In order to prevent the crew from being in a state of stagnation in early February due to the absence of Siyuan's actors, director Hu Defa could only slow down the pace of filming.
He slowed down the original filming progress, and the content that was originally filmed for 3 days is now 5 days. After all, compared with the crew stoppage, the slow shooting speed is more acceptable to the producer.
