Chapter 519: The Movie Boots
"Tang Ming, long time no see. ”
In the corner of the café, He Xiao smiled at Tang Ming and sat opposite him.
"It's been a long time, but I've seen you develop well lately, and you're going to make a movie. ”
Tang Ming also greeted politely, although he and He Xiao were competitors, but the two were gentlemen's friends, and they disdained to play tricks, and the finals of "Singer" were also based on their own abilities.
"You're very well-informed, you know everything about making movies. ”
He Xiao replied with some surprise, in exchange for Tang Ming's eyes: "Your movie is in an uproar, who doesn't know about the roles in the national audition? ”
“...... I was negligent. ”
He Xiao was choked by Tang Ming, and he almost forgot that this operation was fanfare and known throughout the country.
But he wasn't too embarrassed, and followed the topic: "I called you out this time, and I came here for this matter." ”
"What, you want to ask me to sing you the theme song of the movie? No, you're a singer yourself, and you sing better than me, so you want to ask me to act?" Tang Ming heard this, and his brain reacted quickly, and he basically deduced what He Xiao was looking for him.
He Xiao gave him a thumbs up and praised: "Yes, I'm here for this, a very important male character, I couldn't find a suitable candidate after a day of audition today, and I feel that I am missing that aura." ”
"Later, after shifting our attention from amateurs to the entertainment industry, our studio unanimously decided that this role is none other than you, which matches your temperament very well. ”
"Really?" Tang Ming heard the compliment, his face showed a little smugness of three points, and seven points of suspicion, and said tentatively: "Wait, you kid shouldn't be trying to spoof me, right?
“...... Khan, am I that kind of person?" He Xiao said speechlessly: "Don't worry when you are old, this character ...... It's a positive character, he looks very handsome, he is a school grass, his family background is good, and his father is the district head!"
"Okay, I'll trust you once. Tang Ming looked at He Xiao's eyes and smiled, "Did you bring the script? If you don't bring it, go back and let the errand runner send me to the company." ”
"Brought it. Since deciding to shoot "Charlotte's Troubles", the script has been carried with me every day, and when I took out the script from my handbag, He Xiao asked again, "By the way, how do you calculate your salary?"
"Salary, we have no enmity and no friendship, so you can give it at the normal price. ”
Tang Ming can recognize the position of the two, and it is indeed the same between him and He Xiao, although they are both the pillars of the younger generation in the music world, they really don't have any deep friendship with each other, and they don't have any grudges, so they say it very brightly.
He Xiao is willing to get along with such a person, and they all go straight to each other, saying one thing and one thing, and not beating around the bush.
The play is so decided, Tang Ming will play the role of Tidal Sea Spirit...... Oh no, it's the male number two Yuan Hua.
Presumably he will like this man with his own background music.
After returning home from the café, He Xiao called the auditioners he liked during the day one by one, informing them of passing the assessment, and there were naturally bursts of excitement on the other side of the phone.
At this point, all the main creators of "Charlotte's Troubles" are in place.
Charlotte plays He Xiao.
Qiu Ya plays Han Dong'er.
Dongmei plays Ma Dan.
Da Chun's actor is called Wang Zelun.
Then, Tang Ming plays Yuan Hua, Zhang Wei plays Zhang Yang, Xiang Dayong plays Chen Kai, and Lin Yunkai plays Teacher Wang.
And although Zhang Ya does not plan to enter the film industry, she can make a cameo in it, playing Sister Na who was knocked out by Ma Dongmei on a brick in KTV.
Of course, there is no "Sister Na" in He Xiao's world, so Zhang Ya can directly play the role of "Sister Ya" in her true colors.
The script is there, the director is there, and the actors are there, it can be said that everything is ready, and only the start-up is missing!
Although He Xiao said at the dinner table that it would only start this Friday, his anxious temperament must not have been able to wait so long, in fact, after a short day of preparations, on Thursday morning, He Xiao led all the leading actors to worship God together, lifted the red cloth of the machine, and announced the official start-up.
In fact, He Xiao felt that it was a bit troublesome to burn incense and worship God, delaying the filming process, but he originally wanted to cancel it, but was stopped by Yu Xiao, claiming that he had to do this step before agreeing.
Chinese people are superstitious, especially in the entertainment industry, almost all crews have to hold worship ceremonies before starting the film, and this procedure first came from the fear of "scribing".
Back in the film era, the film in the camera was easily scratched, and once this happened, the footage would be lost, which would bring immeasurable losses to the crew, so it was necessary to cover the red cloth to keep it safe.
Now, although the era of film has long passed, in order to be auspicious, the crew will also choose to cover the camera when they turn on to prevent accidents during shooting.
Another reason is that there are many uncertain factors that are difficult to control in film and television dramas, such as actors' illness, natural disasters and man-made disasters that lead to a day of downtime, which will lose a lot of costs, so pray for God's blessing to avoid unpredictable losses such as sometimes the machine being broken.
In general, although superstitious, it can be a psychological comfort and a clear conscience.
After burning incense and unveiling the cloth, I didn't have much free time and went straight to shoot the first act of the first group, which was held in a hotel not far from the studio.
Don't underestimate this hotel, but He Xiao made the team spend a lot of effort to find it, because He Xiao's first request was to have a circular flower bed at the main entrance.
In the first scene of the movie, Charlotte is sitting in the Maserati driven by his brother-in-law, and then in order to let his classmates see him riding in a luxury car, he asked his brother-in-law to circle around the flower bed in the confused eyes of the doorman.
This is also the first laugh in the whole movie.
And what we are going to shoot today is this scene.
On the set.
As the staff knocked down the clipboard and shouted "first act for the first time", He Xiao's first starring movie officially began filming.
The beautiful white Maserati circled around the flower bed, and the doorman tried to open the door several times without success, and in front of the camera, he looked confused.
"I said brother-in-law, it's almost there, my girlfriend is 60th birthday today, and she doesn't even know that I drove the car out!"
A camera flashed in the car, and the actor who played Charlotte's brother-in-law said to He Xiao while hitting the steering wheel, looking in the rearview mirror.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, all the staff on the scene burst into laughter, even with the actor.
NG!
The first scene of the first act is NG, which is something that no one expected, but they really can't control it, this line is too funny.
"I'm sorry Director He, I'm definitely not like this, I really can't help it, I ......"
The actor hurriedly restrained his smile, adjusted his state, and apologized to He Xiao.
He Xiao waved his hand, "It's okay, let's do it again, everyone control the point and put away the smile." ”
The first and second time, start!
Continuing with the scene just now, this time the actor didn't laugh, but it was He Xiao's turn to laugh at himself, he laughed at the scene after getting out of the car.
When he saw Zhang Yang, Dasha Chun, Meng Tejiao and others standing together, he instantly thought of the original film he saw in the black phone, and he couldn't help but break his skills all of a sudden.
I have to say that the drama "Charlotte's Troubles" is indeed too level, its impact on the audience can last for three or five years, and the lines in it can be taken out casually, even if it is not funny in itself, but it can also make people laugh, because everyone directly thinks of the whole play through this line.
Your name is Charlotte, huh?
I don't smoke cigarettes.
I jumped over the stairs, I don't have a good head.
Horse what plum?
I call you brother, and you call me dad.
I can't believe you're alive? I don't believe you're alive.
She's gone, you go to the grove with your brother......
......
Whichever one of these lines comes out, they are all full of picture sense, and those of them who have only read the script can still hold it, but He Xiao, who has watched the original film a few times in the black mobile phone, is really easy to hold back laughter sometimes.
So today's filming can't be said to be smooth, just the first scene of the wedding, it took four hours to shoot, and it wasn't until after Ma Dan appeared that the entire shooting speed suddenly improved by leaps and bounds.
Because Ma Dan was born as a drama actor, there was no laugh in her career!
Laughter means failure, and drama is not like making a movie, there is no chance to start over.
It's a one-way ticketed train, and it's only allowed to go forward.
Therefore, Ma Dan's professional attitude has affected many people, and everyone has been driven, and many places have passed once or twice.
"Charlotte, did I give you face?"
"Qiu Ya is getting married, you are singing and dancing here like a feather duster, what are you doing here?"
"Are you embarrassed about your own money?"
"For so many years, you have been lying at home every day, and your limbs are about to degenerate!"
“......”
The scenes in the movie were completely restored, and Ma Dan's professional performance also shocked everyone present, the explosiveness was too strong!
All the highlights of Ma Dongmei's role are vividly expressed.
Even He Xiao has an urge to worship her as a teacher, and wants to learn about the grasp and mastery of emotions when performing.
The filming progressed by leaps and bounds, and soon came to an end, when Charlotte rushed up to kiss Ma Dongmei after returning from the crossing.
This does not mean that the middle part has been filmed, but the filming technique of the movie is that one scene is shot together, and it is impossible to follow the timeline of the movie, which is all edited in post.
When Xia Luo crossed the middle school days, they were all filmed in Dalian, and in this section of the hotel, there are not so many restrictions, as long as you know the hotels that meet the requirements.
So He Xiao wants to be in this hotel and shoot the entire content of the wedding, that is, before and after the crossing.
So, a difficult problem is in front of us.
That is, he and Madan had a half-minute kiss scene!
