Chapter Seventy-Four: Laughter

When a film and television work is filmed, most of them are not shot in the order of the script. In order to save time, money and effort, and to minimize the number of venue rentals and the trouble of rearranging scenes, the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info generally finish filming all the scenes in the same scene first, and then shoot another scene, and finally connect the shots through post-editing.

Although Xiao Yao filmed a short film, there are several scenes involved, among which the scene of the protagonist pretending to be blind and snooping on the privacy of customers is interspersed when the protagonist is talking to the boss in a café, Xiao Yao naturally does not run back and forth several times to the barista, so he also uses the principle of shooting the same scene at one time.

In terms of the sequence of filming scenes, most of the cases are based on the order in which they appear in the plot, so that they can help the actors, especially the newcomer actors, to take on the roles, which is helpful to the actors' performances. But in Xiao Yao's short film, there are no newcomers to the actors, except for himself, they are all actors with excellent acting skills and experienced experience, but he doesn't need to take care of him so much, but he, the director, is a rookie newcomer, which worries him the most. Therefore, in the order of shooting scenes, Xiao Yao adheres to the principle of going from easy to difficult, rather than shooting according to the sequence of scenes in the script.

The final homicide scene is the focus of the whole film, and it is naturally the hardest, and Xiao Yao put it at the end. In addition, the longest scene is the scene where the protagonist and the boss talk in the café, which was also put in the back position by Xiao Yao. The scene of the piano competition in the beginning is not long, but Xiao Yao's performance is relatively difficult, so Xiao Yao put the scene where the protagonist pretends to be blind and snoops on the customer's privacy to be the first to shoot.

"Xiao Yao, do I really have to wear this?" Huang Shi took a pink bra and a pair of black silk stockings, and looked at Xiao Yao with a constipated expression, "Isn't it okay to put on makeup, wear a wig, and wear a women's coat?"

"Of course not," Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Huang, you are a professional actor, do you still care about this?"

"I really regret agreeing to you to make a cameo appearance in this short film now," Huang Shi said without tears, "My tough guy male image!"

After winning the Feitian Award for Best Supporting Actor for the role of "King Qi" in "Lingyunzhi", Huang Shi's acting career has taken a leap, his fame and value have risen sharply, and he has steadily stepped into the ranks of first-line actors. At the beginning, he thanked Xiao Yao for his "silver carp" in his acceptance speech at the award ceremony of the Feitian Awards, and now Xiao Yao invited him to guest appear in the first short film he directed, and the role he played appeared in the film for only a few seconds, at most ten seconds, and it was not necessary to shoot it in half a day, Huang Shi agreed without hesitation.

When he heard Xiao Yao introduce that the role he was going to play was a transvestite, Huang Shi also felt that it was still a lot of fun to play a woman, and in a previous spy war-themed movie, the character he played also pretended to be a woman in order to get out, and he didn't think it was a big deal. But when Xiao Yao told him the scene in detail and took out the woman's underwear and black stockings, Huang Shi's face immediately turned green.

"Come on, Brother Huang, which of those of us who agreed to Xiao Yao's cameo performance didn't want to self-destruct his image?" Su Chengying on the side said with a smile, "This guy is a big pit who specializes in cheating our acquaintances!"

"That's it, I still have to sacrifice my hue," Cheng Xi also complained, "I look like a sunny teenager, I don't know where so many dirty ideas came from." ”

Xiao Yao plans to shoot the scenes at the homes of three ordinary customers in one day, so Su Chengying and Cheng Xi are also shooting today. They all vacated today's time for Xiao Yao's short film, and they wanted to see what Xiao Yao's self-directed and self-acting was like, so both of them arrived at the crew in advance to watch Xiao Yao's shooting.

"Come on," Huang Shi glanced at the two of them angrily and said, "Chengying, you're just a little sloppy, is that a problem? Maybe you're like that at home? As for Cheng Xi, that is, dancing in underwear, I don't show less flesh than you, let alone wear this?" As he spoke, Huang Shi raised the women's underwear and black stockings in his hand.

Huang Shi cooperated with Su Chengying in "Lingyunzhi" back then, attended the award ceremony of the Feitian Award together, and acted with Cheng Xi, so the three of them are relatively familiar, and they are not so polite when they speak.

"I'm still his grandfather, and the first time I played his film, he asked me to play a dead body. Xiao Chengru couldn't help but smile and complain about his eldest grandson.

Actors who are acting cannot be behind the monitor at the same time to grasp the situation on the spot. In many self-directed and self-acted film and television works, when the director goes to act, there is an executive director to control the scene. Xiao Yao is the only director in the crew, and he didn't even find an assistant director, so when he appeared in the acting, Xiao Chengru helped him grasp the performance of the actors in the camera.

Although Xiao Chengru has a lot of acting experience, he is not a director, but Xiao Yao does not need Xiao Chengru to be a director. In this short film, all of Xiao Yao's shooting plans were discussed with the photographer in advance, and all the camera angles, picture composition, and layout lighting were arranged under his command before he went to the actor's position to start performing, so Xiao Chengru only needed to grasp the performance of these actors behind the monitor, which was not a problem for Xiao Chengru at all. Therefore, Xiao Chengru is also the only actor other than Xiao Yao who needs to participate in the whole process of filming this short film.

"Is this a spit conference?" Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I made the role clear to you before you promised me." ”

"Alright, all departments ready. Xiao Yao saw that the various arrangements of the scene had reached his satisfaction behind the monitor, and he got up directly and sat down in front of the piano in the living room. Huang Shi threw the underwear and stockings in his hand into the paper bag and walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the living room.

"Ready, start!" It stands to reason that Xiao Chengru, who acted as the executive director behind the monitor, shouted these words. But this is Xiao Yao's first short film, how could he miss this very meaningful step, so he sat directly in front of the piano and shouted.

The slate took the slate and stretched it out in front of the camera, shouted the scene number and serial number, and knocked it down. Xiao Chengru shouted again: "Begin!"

Xiao Chengru's words fell, Xiao Yao's fingers moved on the piano keys, and a beautiful piano melody also sounded on the scene.

Xiao Yao, who was wearing sunglasses, looked calm, playing the role of a tuner pretending to be blind playing the piano. Huang Shi in front of the mirror began to take off his clothes. When he took off his sports jacket, skinny T-shirt and pants, and only a pair of shorts were left on his body, Huang Shi took out a pink bra from the paper bag on the sofa next to him and began to gesture on his chest.

Xiao Yao in front of the camera raised his eyebrows, his head was slightly offset to the side, and on a small table over there, there was a photo of Huang Shi. In the photo, Huang Shi is in the gym, holding a huge dumbbell, and the muscles on his arms are prominent, which not only shows his identity as a fitness coach, but also is masculine.

Xiao Yao turned his head, but saw that Huang Shi had already put the bra on his body, and began to put stockings on his strong legs. Xiao Yao, who was wearing sunglasses, couldn't see his eyes, but the corners of his mouth twitched obviously.

When Huang Shi put on the black silk stockings on his legs, he also put on a particularly charming and bewitching posture in front of the mirror, winked at himself in the mirror, and then pouted...

"Poof~ha..."Su Chengying, Cheng Xi, and even Xiao Yao, who was sitting in front of the piano and playing the piano, couldn't help laughing. Although they had imagined such a picture in their minds before, when they really saw Huang Shi's appearance, several people couldn't help laughing.

"Ka!" Xiao Chengru didn't laugh, but shouted a little speechlessly.

The first shot of Xiao Yao's first short film ended with laughter.

"This picture is really spicy!" Xiao Yao said with a smile on the piano.

"This is the script you wrote, the scene you designed yourself, you deserve it!" Huang Shi looked at Xiao Yao angrily, and as he spoke, he looked back at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but cover his eyes.

"Okay," Xiao Chengru slapped his hands and said, "Have you laughed enough? ”

"You two," Xiao Chengru looked at Su Chengying and Cheng Xi on the side and said, "If you don't manage yourself, I'll clear the scene." ”

"And you," Xiao Chengru looked at Xiao Yao again, "You are a director and a screenwriter, didn't you expect this kind of picture a long time ago?

"In the end, it's you," Xiao Chengru didn't let Huang Shi go, "In the part just now, you don't have a strong sense of conviction in your performance, obviously it should make people feel surprised, weird and absurd, but you make people feel funny, as if you are deliberately pretending to be a woman to tease others, rather than treating yourself as a woman from the heart, so people will laugh." Have you ever understood what the mentality of a transvestite person is?"

Xiao Chengru's lesson, the people at the scene quieted down. Don't look at the four people who were taught by Xiao Chengru, who are more famous than Xiao Chengru and have more fans, but in front of performance artists like Xiao Chengru, they can only be obediently trained.

"All parts are prepared. Seeing Huang Shi take off his underwear and stockings and put on his original sportswear, Xiao Yao, who had cleaned up his mentality, shouted solemnly, ready to start shooting the second one.
