Chapter Ninety-Nine: The First Shooting

For three days, Zhou Xiao observed the scene every day and learned a lot of things, and the staff and actors and directors were also used to this young man staying quietly in the corner, holding a small notebook in his hand.

Most people don't care if he's really learning from experience or acting like he's acting, but as long as it's out of the way, no one will say anything.

Compared with recording programs, TV series cameras are used less, and even if you only sit on the two people to talk, one is OK, but it needs to be edited in the later stage, of course, it is not absolute, it depends on the shooting requirements of the director or director, such as: whether the scene will change, whether the lens should move, etc.

Because I have participated in a lot of works before, although it is not so formal, so many staff, and so many lines, it is still much better than that of a real novice.

At least know how to move, the approximate range of the camera, don't look at the camera, don't turn your back to or block other actors, etc.

As for acting, it is the opinion of the benevolent and the wise of the wise.

Qiu Feng's role is actually not difficult, a few years older than Zhou Xiao, a little rebellious, ignorant, and immature, in fact, most of Zhou Xiao's classmates around him are like this, you don't need to imagine it, just act according to what you know.

There are only 2 scenes in the entire script that require emotional outbursts, and screenwriter Qian specially told Zhou Xiao that he would put it at the back and let him get acquainted with Wang Xiaochen before talking.

So, with excitement, I started the first TV series shooting.

Today's filming is downstairs in Wang Xiaomi's "home", in the community, and the main actors are him-Qiu Feng, Wang Xiaochen-Wang Xiaomi, godmother-Wang Xiaomi's mother, and several extras.

The approximate plot is that Qiu Feng came downstairs to his girlfriend, carrying a watermelon knife and proposing with the so-called six kinds of hair and seven liquids in a small bottle, and was reprimanded by Wang Xiaomi, and cut down the small tree that was planted in the community eight years ago.

The lines are already familiar to the point that they can't do it, there are only about 30 sentences in total, and Zhou Xiao is actually quite confident.

Last night, when the scene ended early, he directly found Wang Xiaochen and wanted to discuss with her the content that was about to be filmed, but the other party was also very face-saving and happily agreed.

Before practicing, the young lady asked a question: "What do you think Qiu Feng's thoughts or mental journey are in this scene?"

Zhou Xiao didn't think about it: "I think he is a little aware that things are a bit big, which is a little different from the previous quarrels, or he wouldn't say that he thought of proposing, but he is too self-centered, and he doesn't know what Wang Xiaomi wants, and he vividly shows his immaturity, and he personally pushed his girlfriend who has been with him for eight years step by step." ”

After listening, Wang Xiaochen did not hide her surprise at all: "Yes, the research is very thorough, then let me ask you, do I still love Qiu Feng?"

"I don't think the word love should be used, it should be more of a bond," Zhou Xiao thought about it for a while: "After eight years of getting along, you can divide it, unless you are a hard-hearted person who can do it, Wang Xiaomi is obviously not."

But for a long time, Qiu Feng has not made any progress, she still goes her own way, her enthusiasm for love has long been exhausted, she can't marry such a man who has no responsibility, and her heart can be said to be very contradictory. ”

Wang Xiaochen curled his mouth and nodded: "The question is, how can you show a person's immaturity?"

"First of all, it's the appearance, I wear a little hanging, and I don't recognize my six relatives when I walk, Sister Xiaochen, I actually have an idea. ”

"You say!"

"Aren't we going upstairs and downstairs to talk tomorrow, just shouting seems to be uncomfortable, so I just hold a horn in my hand, completely ignoring the thoughts of the surrounding neighbors and the parties, and it seems that the role is even more unreliable. ”

"Go back. Wang Xiaochen got up to see off the guests.

"What are you doing!" Zhou Xiao was puzzled.

"You're here to show off," the young lady said angrily: "I'm going to memorize the lines." ”

"No, I'm really here to learn. Zhou Xiao was wronged.

"Okay, okay, your idea is already very good, it's very thorough, and it's perfectly fine to act like this. Wang Xiaochen was not joking: "Only by grasping the characteristics of the role can you make a performance that is suitable for the situation at that time." ”

After that, she also said some dry goods, such as how to quickly memorize lines, how to adjust the mentality when filming to quickly enter the state, how to not be affected under the condition of NG all the time, etc., Zhou Xiao benefited a lot, which came from the guidance of his predecessors.

......

At this moment, Zhou Xiao is sitting in a Cadillac, wearing big sunglasses, a thick chain around his neck, and the boots under his feet are the focus.

The assistant director has already come over to talk about the scene, and this shot will give a close-up of his feet, and then give a full-body shot, so that he can show a feeling of high spirits, because he is here to propose.

The weather was very hot, the makeup artist grabbed the foundation in his hand and made up some makeup on his face, and after the units were prepared, with Director Lin's "action", the shooting began.

Zhou Xiao opened the car door, stepped on the ground with his left foot, paused for two seconds, looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and then put the sunglasses hanging on his forehead on the bridge of his nose and looked ahead.

"OK, cut!" Director Lin gave a thumbs up: "It's over!"

Hulala, the staff around him all moved, transferring the machine, Zhou Xiao walked to the shade of the tree and smashed his mouth.

This...

That's it?

It's so fast!

Just like the cauldron described him for the first time, it felt like he had already poured out before he entered the state.

There was no NG, and there was no applause from the staff or the director, it was like eating and drinking.

"Wait for you to be like this..."The assistant director stepped forward again and said the line, Zhou Xiao nodded, he didn't have time to reminisce, and immediately started to invest again.

Zhou Xiao held a watermelon knife in his left hand and a small box and a horn in his right hand, and walked forward under the strange and somewhat frightened gazes of the residents of the community.

This shot is relatively simple, he just needs to move forward at a constant speed, the focus is on the extras on the left, and it is OK to give an appropriate response.

There was also no NG, and after shooting from several different angles, this section was successfully completed.

Zhou Xiao didn't feel too proud, after all, he just got out of the car and walked, and he didn't even have a line, and he should have finished it!

Then there is a long shot where he needs to walk downstairs from about ten meters away, put down his things, pick up the horn, and shout his girlfriend's name in the direction of the third floor.

Because of the abundant time, basically the time is spent shooting here in the morning, and the scene will be transferred in the afternoon, so Zhou Xiao can move in advance, occasionally look up, and see Wang Xiaochen's upper body leaning against the window to look, so he raised his hand and shook it.

"Hi, Xiaomi, I'm here to see you. ”

"Hahaha!" everyone didn't expect him to come out like this suddenly, and they were all amused.

β€œaction!”

As the director gave the order again, Zhou Xiao strode forward, but when he was about to get downstairs, an accident appeared.
