Chapter 146: Filming Begins, the Sun Burns
Ge Chen's side and the crew of "Scorching Sun" have signed a contract.
This time, Hong Chen used the name of "Red Dust Studio" to sign a cooperation agreement with Blue Star Pictures.
A few days later, the filming of the scorching sun crew officially began, and Hong Chen also came to the crew to work.
This script, the story is somewhat tragic.
The plot is very simple, the three brothers went to collect debts, and for some reason the debtor's daughter suffered a heart attack, resulting in her death, and at the same time, because they indirectly helped another person kill the family's family of five.
The story begins with the three brothers running away from the family like crazy.
"Come, each group prepares, the first act is about to begin. The field attendant clapped his hands and gave tips to the crew.
The first scene was filmed in a dense forest, and the crew found a jungle, set up equipment, and waited for the performances of the three leading actors.
The first act is important because it is the beginning of the whole play, and the quality of the first scene often determines the general level of the whole play.
There are a lot of things that can be seen from the first scene, and if it is not filmed well, it will have an impact on the whole scene. For example, the effect of a certain actor is always very abrupt, and it is not uncommon for the director to change the actor.
"The first scene, come on. "There was an assistant director who cheered everyone on.
This scene is very difficult, because it is a rivalry between three people, and a strong conflict of contradictions has to break out.
According to the plot, the three of them originally went to collect debts, and Xin Xiaofeng, the character played by Hong Chen in the middle, saw that the family's daughter was beautiful, and he became interested in it, but the family's daughter had a heart attack and suffered a fright, resulting in a heart attack and death.
Then, another man, who was already a murderer, found out about this situation and killed all the rest of the family.
Where have these three people ever seen such a scene, they are all small people, just here to collect debts, and the scene of the death of five lives constantly stimulates their senses.
So, the three of them fled like crazy, running all the way to the depths of the dense forest.
Dense forests, bloodstains, people, murders, fugitives in a hurry.......
Cao Baoping's narrative style is very unique, and he can always attract people's attention inadvertently.
"Teams in place!" shouted the field attendant, and in an instant, everyone's attention became highly focused.
The photographers manipulated the camera, and several shots were aimed at the three leading actors: Hong Chen, Guo Tao, and Gao Hu.
"Act 1, Act 1, Action!"
Shooting begins.
Cao Baoping was behind the camera, expressionless, quietly watching the performances of the three actors. He is very demanding, and he wants to see if these three people can meet his requirements.
Hong Chen was lying on the ground, his face full of despair, Gao Hu leaned against the tree, panting violently, and Guo Tao seemed much calmer, standing in place and speechless.
Then, Hong Chen suddenly said with a sluggish and confused face: "I have to go back." ”
His expression was spotty, and the cameraman captured his facial expression closely.
Cao Baoping touched his chin with his hand, and his pupils dilated slightly. At present, Hong Chen's performance is very good.
Guo Tao and Gao Hu are both old actors, and their acting skills are very exquisite. At first, when Guo Tao knew that the starring role was Hong Chen, he still had some doubts.
After all, the other party is only in his twenties.
Can an actor of this age play the effect that this movie needs?
But when the filming officially began, Hong Chen's expression burst out of the confusion, which made him unconsciously follow the play.
This young man is amazing!
Guo Tao silently praised in his heart.
Gao Hu was the same, he saw Hong Chen struggling to get up from the ground, and when he walked forward, his feelings unconsciously entered the state of the play.
His role is anger.
In this scene, the conflict between the two people is the biggest attraction.
"You want to go back?" Finally, Gao Hu couldn't help it, grabbed Hong Chen's collar and punched him hard.
"Our lives have been ruined by you, and you want to go back?"
Then, the angry Gao Hu beat Hong Chen violently. Of course, this is filming, and the scene is not a real fight, but the effect of the shot, and it is shot with several sub-shots and then cut in.
On the one hand, Gao Hu vented his anger, and on the other hand, he felt that Hong Chen was confused, and he had to go back at this time.
Then, Hong Chen continued to stand up and muttered, "I want to go back." ”
This scene is a foreshadowing and a suspense.
The reason why Hong Chen wanted to go back was because when he fell, he saw that there was a little girl who had just been born under the bed.
The family was in the middle of nowhere, and if he didn't care, the little girl would definitely starve to death.
Five people had already died, and he didn't want the little girl to die too.
This is also the characteristic of the characters created by Cao Baoping, each character is complex, there is no absolute good, and there is no absolute evil.
"Okay, stop!" At this point, the scene ended, and Cao Baoping called a stop.
The crew all looked at him, after all, he had the final say here.
Cao Baoping is notoriously demanding and unsmiling. He is not like Zhang Hai's "tyrant on the set", he gets angry and scolds when he is not satisfied, he belongs to the kind of person who lets you play all the time if he is not satisfied, and sometimes the actors are a little afraid of him.
"Yes, that's over. Unexpectedly, Cao Baoping passed very happily this time.
"Okay, each group, pay attention, prepare for the next one. The field manager was also very happy, and hurriedly called the crew to shoot the next scene.
There are not many scenes in the dense forest, and the filming ends early.
The rest of the scenes were filmed very quickly, just adding a few shots of them fleeing in a hurry, and some close-ups of individuals. It didn't take long to shoot it.
Originally, it was planned that this scene would be filmed for a day, but as soon as the filming was finished, I found that it was just noon......
Although there are not many scenes in this scene, after all, it is an exterior location, and it takes time to set up equipment, plus the first scene must be left in advance enough in advance, so the plan is one day.
Cao Baoping didn't expect to shoot so quickly.
"In the afternoon, when filming the scene where people ask for debts, Hong Chen just came over and the other actors rested. Cao Baoping said directly.
"Thank you, Director. Hearing this, Guo Tao and Gao Hu both laughed, after all, the first day of filming was so easy, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
For the crew and field staff, the longer the filming cycle, the better, because they are paid according to the number of days, and the longer the filming time, the higher the salary.
For directors and actors, the schedule can be rushed, because the actor's salary will not change because of the time, and the director is to reduce some unnecessary budgets.
The director spoke, and the others naturally had no opinion.
The security department of the crew began to distribute boxed lunches, and the leading actors and staff ate the same, there was no difference.
This is a wild place, there are no tables and chairs, and Hong Chen, like everyone else, squats on the ground and eats a boxed lunch.
"Hong Chen, you are very different from those young actors I have seen. During the meal, Guo Tao was chatting with Hong Chen.
"Really?" asked Hong Chen with a smile.
"No, last time I was in that crew, didn't you see how big that little fresh meat recipe was, he came the latest every day, he walked the earliest, and he looked like he was the only one on the set. Guo Tao complained.
However, he also spoke in a measured manner, and did not say who it was.
This situation is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, especially some crews that rely on traffic stars to support the box office, the leading actor has more power than the director, and the director has to consult the leading actor for everything.
In that case, I really don't know what kind of excellent work I can make.
"You're different, you're very down-to-earth, and you're comfortable to get along with. Guo Tao exclaimed, "Now our industry is too short of young people like you." ”
Hongchen didn't know how to answer this, an old-timer inexplicably began to praise himself, and he could only humbly say a few thanks.
In the afternoon, the crew had already contacted the filming venue, and the special actors had also been found.
Hong Chen could never have imagined that in this scene, he was about to face a huge problem.
According to the plot, Hong Chen saw that the daughter of the owner of the villa had just come out naked after bathing, and became a thief, and then "committed a crime".
In other words, he has to act out this scene in front of the camera.
And Cao Baoping is very demanding, so this scene is very difficult for Hong Chen.
