Early the next morning, a table was set up in the alley, covered with a red cloth, and several bottles of champagne were placed on the table.

In front of the table were two cameras, also covered with red cloth.

There were no reporters on site, only a handful of actors and crew.

There is a banner behind it, which reads "The production team of the movie "My Motherland and Me - Winning the Championship" is on fire].

Chen Xiao stood in front of the table very casually: "This time, let's shoot a short movie, it won't take long, and it will end after filming, but ah, everyone is still together these days, let's shoot this film well." ”

"I have to count it down, this is also my third time making a movie, I am a rookie director, you guys, there are also people who haven't acted in a few movies, let's work together. ”

Chen Xiao's words still caused the staff to laugh good-naturedly.

Yes, Chen Xiao has not made a few movies, but can you say that Chen Xiao is a novice?

Although there are not many movies directed by Chen Xiao, if you take a look, several movies that are relatively popular now are all related to Chen Xiao.

Besides, if you don't have a certain strength, can you make this main theme movie?

Just kidding, right?

However, Chen Xiao's words still brought him a lot closer to the people present.

"Yesterday, everyone ate together, so ah, after starting the film today, we started filming directly, and we didn't eat any last lunch, and today we will skip those things that we should not have, and start making movies directly. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Xiao picked up the champagne on the table and shook it and opened it directly, the champagne was sprayed everywhere, but the scene was full of applause.

When the red cloth on the camera is lifted, everyone stands together and takes a photo, and the simple boot ceremony is completed.

Chen Xiao glanced at Bai Tao and found that this kid was in good shape today.

However, if you let him shoot directly, he may still be nervous, so let's use a more gentle way first.

After a pause, Chen Xiao said: "Okay, in the morning, let's not make a movie first, let's open a script to read, mainly to see everyone's understanding of the script, and by the way, we also know those who don't know each other." ”

Then, Chen Xiao asked people to move a few chairs, and several people sat together.

Chen Xiao said: "Let's introduce ourselves first, I won't say that I'm the director." ”

Xu Shao got up and said seriously: "My name is Xu Shao, and I play the male protagonist when I grow up." ”

"My name is Xin Qiyue, and I play the heroine when I grow up. ”

"I'm a videographer......"

"I'm the executive director......"

When it was Ruan Qingxiao's turn, she stood up and said crisply: "Hello brother and sister, my name is Ruan Qingxiao, and I play the heroine when I was a child." ”

"My name is Bai Tao, ah...... Hello brothers and sisters, I played the male protagonist when I was a child. Bai Tao was taken crooked by Ruan Qingxiao and wanted to say hello to everyone, but he didn't think about it for a while.

The main characters in this film are Bai Tao and Ruan Qingxiao, which are basically two people's dialogues.

Bai Tao has also practiced, so it seems that the dialogue is quite good, and it can be heard with emotion, but in comparison, Ruan Qingxiao's performance is better.

Chen Xiao suddenly thought of something, and then said: "Xiao Tao, Qing Xiao, you practice more dialogue here, and we will wait until the afternoon to start shooting." ”

Then Chen Xiao looked in the direction of the group performance behind him.

Then he said, "Let's come with me, let's have a group role union in the room." ”

Group role division union?

What is it?

Haven't even heard of this term in the cinematography and executive director on the spot?

But since Chen Xiao spoke, everyone followed Chen Xiao into the room one by one.

Entering the house, Chen Xiao said: "We have a lot of extras here, I think although we are making movies, but we have to shoot according to life, and a movie with the breath of life is a good movie." ”

The group performers present looked confused, wondering if Chen Xiao was telling them this.

We're just a group performer, so why are we talking about it so complicated?

When you film, just tell us how to shoot directly, and we are not inexperienced.

Chen Xiao said: "I think each of you should have your own identity, probably what kind of industry you are engaged in, and then perform according to the character of the industry when performing."

In short, it is necessary to have their own positioning, everyone is different, so everyone must have their own positioning in the crowd, who is the commander, who is the commander, and the division of labor must be divided. ”

As soon as these group performances heard it, this is to add drama, and it's good to add drama.

Group performances are not without opportunities, but the only thing that you want to rely on actors to get ahead is to have acting skills.

But even if there is acting skills, if there is no camera and no scene, then others will not be able to see it.

Therefore, basically the group performances are also willing to add drama.

It's no longer a question of adding money or not.

Chen Xiao said the general plot again: "What about us, this story is very simple, the women's volleyball team won the championship, three consecutive championships, and the whole alley has to cheer and rejoice there, everyone is in such a state of being a sentient being." ”

"At that time, what memories were there in the alley, you can talk about it, that is, there is a sense of identity. ”

In one sentence, the word 'identity' is still highlighted.

The group performances present were all found in advance, some young, some old, and all ages, which was more in line with the state of the alley.

Soon, an older man in a shirt said, "An old man like me, I guess he used to be in the general affairs section of a certain unit. ”

A person next to him quickly received: "Then I am an accountant." ”

Chen Xiao pointed out the marriage on the spot: "Then the two of you will play a couple, and now they are husband and wife, okay." ”

The two men looked at each other and nodded.

At this time, an old man stood up behind him: "Hello Director Chen, I'm very happy to be able to see you here again, I played in your "Charlotte Troubles" before." ”

Chen Xiao suddenly said: "I said why are you so familiar, aren't you the old man downstairs, the one from Ma Dongmei." ”

But no, many people have recognized this statement, and I have to say that the old man is not very famous now.

"Why do you always run a group performance?"

The old man said: "Didn't I just come here, and I saw that I was recruiting a group to celebrate the birthday of the motherland, I thought that I didn't have anything to do, so I signed up for it, but I didn't expect it to be Director Chen's movie." ”

"But it wasn't me, I thought you were following me. ”

Chen Xiao was also happy: "In this way, there happens to be a role that is very suitable for you, and it will be you to see that you are destined." ”
