Chapter 85: Shooting Begins
At half past five in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the crew of "Langya Bang" had already gotten up to start work.
The filming set has already begun to be set up in an orderly manner.
Executive director Jiang Xiantan actively communicates with the props team, lighting team, and shooting team to strive for no mistakes in the first shot.
A film and television work like "Langya Bang", which has nearly thousands of shots, cannot be filmed in the order of plot development.
The director will write a script for each shot to be shot in the early stage of preparation, and then let the scene reporter coordinate and formulate a detailed shooting plan.
In the process of shooting, in order to save shooting costs, unnecessary transition time is removed, and clips of the same location are usually shot together.
At the same time, when making a shooting plan, it is also necessary to take into account factors such as the shooting venue, actor schedule, actor styling, costumes and props, special shooting needs (such as horse rides, war scenes) and so on.
The more reasonable the shooting plan, the higher the efficiency of the crew, the shorter the idle time for each actor and each department, which can shorten the shooting cycle and save shooting costs......
A crew often has hundreds of people, and for every extra day of filming, the salary alone is burned in units of 100,000, so a perfect shooting plan can save an astronomical amount of money for the crew.
According to the distributed notice, the first shot to be filmed in "Langya Bang" is the clip of Mei Changsu bidding farewell to Zhou Xuanqing after the court ceremony.
"Is Teacher Yu Genglin here, and have Ah Huai and Xiao Yu arrived?" Jiang Xiantan called an assistant to ask after explaining the relevant matters.
Yu Genglin is a veteran actor in his sixties who has retired from filming, and is currently teaching at the Film and Television Academy.
Although the role of Zhou Xuanqing has very few scenes, the temperament and style of a generation of famous Confucians are not easy to play.
Jiang Shouyuan, relying on his friendship with Yu Genglin, insisted on pulling him over to play this role, which is why Wu Huai and his rivalry are played.
In addition, Xiao Yu in Jiang Xiandan's mouth, whose full name is Lu Yu, is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old clever boy who plays Feiliu in the play.
Lu Yu has played many roles before, and he can be regarded as a well-known child star.
"Teacher Yu and Ah Huai are already in the dressing room, Xiaoyu ...... The young man slept well, and got up late, but he was already on his way!" replied the assistant hesitantly.
Jiang Xiantan glared at him and scolded: "Nonsense! In the future, the notice will be made in strict accordance with the time of the notice sheet, and I will make a phone call every five minutes, I will see who dares to eat, and no one is an exception!"
"Yes, yes, I'll pay attention!" the assistant didn't dare to argue, and nodded repeatedly.
……
In the dressing room, makeup stylist Qin Mian is carefully applying makeup to Wu Huai.
Looking at Wu Huai's somewhat pale cheeks and slightly dry lips, Qin Mian couldn't help but ask, "It's okay, Ah Huai, I don't think you're in a good state!"
Wu Huai nodded slightly in response: "It's not that it's not in a bad state...... It's just in the right shape!"
Qin Mian also knew in his heart that the next clip to be shot was the clip of Mei Changsu bidding farewell to Zhou Xuanqing in the cold wind.
Wu Huai's state at this time completely fits Mei Changsu's physical state in the play.
But what moved him a little was that Wu Huai stayed up all night in order to achieve such a state effect, and he didn't even eat breakfast!
It is indeed admirable to be dedicated to this extent.
And the results of his doing so ...... It is a perfect presentation of Mei Changsu's sick bones and weakness.
When Wu Huai put on makeup and stood in front of Qin Mian, Qin Mian was amazed by him again!
……
In the makeshift rest shed, Yu Genglin and Jiang Shouyuan, who had already done their styling, were chatting together.
"I didn't expect me to be an old bone, and you still pulled me over to act...... Let me tell you, you owe a lot of favor!" Yu Genglin stroked his neatly pasted beard and said with a smile.
"A bottle of old wine, two pieces of cake, wait for you when you are free!" Jiang Shouyuan said with a smile.
"That's it!" Yu Genglin rubbed his hands and said expectantly: "This time, I have to finish the good wine at home." ”
"You don't brag, my family's wine is enough for you to drink for a year!" Jiang Shouyuan said disdainfully.
"There is always a time to drink it all!" Yu Genglin smiled and said, "These are digressions, you know my habits about Yan Opera!"
"Where can I not know, isn't it just not accommodating, not compromised!" Jiang Shouyuan nodded in response.
"I heard that the male number one in this drama has poor acting skills, you are so confident, I can say in advance, I can only spare one day!" Yu Genglin said.
"Seeing is believing, he won't let you down!" Jiang Shouyuan said with a smile.
"Oh?" Yu Genglin was a little interested, and said with a smile: "Then you really have to see it." ”
"Look, didn't he come out?" Jiang Shouyuan pointed to Wu Huai, who walked out of the dressing room, and said with a smile.
Yu Genglin looked in the direction of Wu Huai and couldn't help but be stunned.
According to the information he learned, Wu Huai is an artist who is only twenty years old and has poor acting skills.
And the Wu Huai he saw at this time was clearly a mature man with extraordinary instruments, a calm temperament, and a deep and dignified eyebrows!
"Teacher Yu, please give me more advice!" Wu Huai walked to Yu Genglin's side and bowed down and said.
"It's easy to say!" Yu Genglin looked at Wu Huai carefully, and couldn't help but admire: "Sure enough, seeing is believing!"
Seeing Wu Huai in this state, he was a little happy, and even began to look forward to the rivalry with Wu Huai!
"Now that it's all right, let's start shooting......" Jiang Shouyuan said with a smile.
Wu Huai and Yu Genglin glanced at each other and nodded.
The filming site was cleared, and Yan Jia, who had a filming scene in the afternoon, and Wu Ruizhi, who had nothing to do, came to the monitoring station together and waited for the start of the performance.
"143rd Race 1st Shot 1st ...... Ready, go!"
The moment Jiang Shouyuan shouted at the beginning, Wu Huai entered Mei Changsu's state wholeheartedly.
He stood aside with reverence, and when Geng Lin got out of the car, he immediately gave a deep salute: "Mr. Zhou!"
Behind the monitoring station, Wu Ruizhi and Yan Jia were looking at the monitoring screen with some surprise.
In their impression, Wu Huai's acting skills should be clumsy at all, but at this time, Wu Huai's free and natural performance surprised them a little.
In particular, Wu Huai's demeanor, arrogant state and temperament are the same as those described in the novel.
Yu Genglin looked at Wu Huai with surprised eyes and asked, "Is this jade cicada yours?"
"Exactly!" Wu Huai replied respectfully.
"Who's the gift?"
"Gifted by Mr. Li Chongli. ”
Yu Geng Lin's eyes showed a little appreciation and reminiscence.
Wu Huai turned sideways, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Please ......"
"Click! it's over!" Behind the surveillance screen, Jiang Shouyuan raised his hand and said, "Yes, it's a good start!"
Wu Ruizhi and Yan Jia also looked at Wu Huai with some surprise, they didn't expect Wu Huai's performance to be so smooth, just go through it once!
The second game began immediately after.
The two sides sit on their knees in the pavilion, and the main camera symmetrically divides the left and right people into two halves to achieve the best visual effect.
"Who are you, Li Chong?"
"The younger generation was taught by Mr. Li. ”
Yu Genglin nodded slightly, showing his almost outstanding line skills.
A large number of words are said without the slightest bump and error, and even every sentence is full of deep meaning and emotion.
"Brother Li was a Taifu back then, and he did not refuse civilians, and set up a teaching altar outside the palace walls, and his disciples were widespread. But in the final analysis, there are only a few people he is most proud of, and the old man is a friend of learning, and the friendship is not strong but deep, so I know these people, but the foot is ...... We don't seem to have ever been masked......"
Behind the monitoring table.
"It's really amazing, it's worthy of being an old drama bone!" Yan Jia couldn't help but say in admiration.
But Wu Ruizhi set his sights on Wu Huai......
"The younger generation is not good at learning arts, has a reputation as a tired teacher, and has not been taught for a long time, so Mr. Zhou naturally doesn't recognize me. Wu Huai also bowed slightly and answered softly, his words fluencing.
"Forget it, you have Brother Li's token, and the old man should help, but I didn't expect that after a few years, seeing my old friend Jade Chan again, it was for the sake of the court...... When Brother Li was demoted from Beijing, he was full of grief and indignation and vowed not to look back, and the old man didn't know if it was really his heart when he went to the court this time......" Yu Genglin said with a light sigh.
Originally, a scene was cut before this line, giving both parties a chance to adjust and memorize the line.
But I didn't expect Yu Genglin to go on on a whim, and it became a long shot in one shot!
Jiang Shouyuan didn't shout to stop, and the cameraman didn't dare to slack off!
Everyone looked at Wu Huai with burning eyes, as long as he could catch Yu Geng Lin's lines, then this classic long shot would become!
