Chapter 29: Filming officially begins

The next day, "Love Story in the Imperial Capital" officially started filming.

The first scene was filmed at a restaurant opposite a neighborhood near the hotel, and although it is not a downtown area, the flow of people is not small.

Therefore, the opening ceremony was simply held at the entrance of the restaurant, and it was not very grand.

After all, it is filming in the imperial capital, it is better to keep a low profile, in case there is any mess, it will be bad, it will be criticized and educated, and it may affect the process of the crew.

The restaurant has been rented by the crew for a while, as there are several shots to be filmed here.

The scene to be filmed today is a series of things that happened to Shi Xiaomeng in order to thank Cheng Feng for helping Shen Bing find a job, setting up a dinner in the "old place" restaurant and inviting everyone to eat together.

Of course, the first shot does not capture the scene where everyone sits down to eat together, but the scene where the restaurateur prepares before everyone comes, asking for a good start.

The guest appearance of the restaurant owner is the old drama bone Feng Lei, that is, the villain Zhao Ruilong in "In the Name of the People" in his previous life, his acting skills are naturally not bad and very stable, so the first shot was shot very smoothly.

The good start symbolizes that the crew will have a smooth future and good luck.

Next is the scene where everyone sits down to eat together, although it is a group scene, but it is not very difficult, as long as the actors' preparations are in place, there must be no problem, and it will not be filmed too many times.

There are no big names in the whole crew, and there is no deliberate late and big name, and all the actors came to the set on time.

Su Mu, like the other actors, changed their clothes, put on makeup, and sat at the dining table and waited.

"I didn't eat breakfast, I felt so hungry. Zhang Xinyi looked at the dishes on the table with a blank eye, and her saliva was about to flow out.

Su Mu was amused and said with a smile: "Haha, Sister Xinyi, then you secretly eat two bites, anyway, you won't give a close-up for a while, it's not in the way." ”

In order to film this scene, Chen Sicheng deliberately asked the restaurant owner to fry a table of dishes, and asked him to eat it during filming, so that it looked more natural.

As for the wine, the beer is real, and the liquor is fake, after all, filming, two glasses of liquor are drunk, how can you shoot?

"Yes, yes, you eat some mats first, let's use it as an audition. Zhang Yi also coaxed, poured a glass of beer into the cup in front of him as he spoke, and looked at Su Mu: "Come on, come on, Amu, let's make a whole one, moisten your mouth." ”

Chen Sicheng noticed the situation here, walked over and said, "Don't you two, let's make a whole together, lively and lively, and mention the atmosphere." ”

The director said so, and everyone naturally had no opinion and had a drink together.

Not to mention, after a glass of wine, the atmosphere of the scene is different, and they are more enthusiastic with each other, which is a bit of a dinner with friends.

"Xinyi, you can eat two bites, and the plate will be empty again. Chen Sicheng laughed and teased.

"Hahaha. The crowd laughed.

Ten minutes later, everything was ready to start.

Because Chen Sicheng also has to be on camera as the leading actor, this scene is shot by executive director Wang Yu, who has rich experience and has followed many crews, and it is precisely because of this that the producer asked him to assist Chen Sicheng.

"The sixth episode of "Love Story in the Imperial Capital", the third scene, begins. ”

As soon as the sound of the board fell, everyone went directly into the state.

"Eat more, eat more. ”

At the dinner table, everyone chatted while eating, a lively scene, Su Mu didn't have any lines for the time being, so he found his favorite dishes to eat, and drank a sip of beer from time to time, which perfectly played the role of the background board.

At this time, Zhang Yi and Chen Sicheng talked in a whisper.

"Did you ask your dad about that?"

"Not yet, I wasn't in a good mood yesterday, let's find another chance. ”

"Okay, it's okay, don't worry, anyway, if it doesn't work, I'll find another way. ”

"It's okay, it should be fine. ”

Su Mu was also listening carefully to the conversation between the two while eating, because there was his line next, which had to be picked up at the right time, otherwise it would disrupt the next rhythm.

Just as Zhang Yi and Chen Sicheng finished talking and clinking glasses with each other, Zhang Xinyi chewed the vegetables in her mouth and said to Su Mu with a smile: "Look, both of them have drunk." ”

Hearing this, Su Mu looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Xiao Meng, you are doing well now, your work is not bad, and your daughter-in-law is also here, double happiness is coming." ”

As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass: "I'm free, if you do it, how happy you can be depends on how much you drink." ”

"Good, good. Zhang Yi smiled, then picked up the wine glass and handed it to his lips, and drank directly.

On such an occasion, as the owner of the wine party, he naturally can't refuse his brother's toast, not to mention that he also wants more happiness in his heart, the reality of the day is too bitter, he hopes that this glass of wine can bring him some good luck.

At this time, everyone looked at Zhang Yi and began to coax: "Drink, drink!"

And Su Mu also picked up the wine glass, and while drinking, he kept gesturing with his other hand, meaning to let Zhang Yi drink more.

There are only lines in the script, and there is no specific action for the actors.

Su Mu's hand activities were added by himself, because he used to drink with Lin Gengxin's group of people when he was at school, so he coaxed and gestured, and it was just right to use it here.

Behind the monitor, executive director Zhang Yu nodded secretly, and everyone's performance was good.

The scene is simple, but it's also hard.

Simple is simple in that it doesn't require the actor to have too many mood swings and eye shifts, and facial expressions are easy to do.

The difficulty lies in how to act more naturally, so that the audience does not look like they are playing, as if they are really a group of old friends having a dinner.

Su Mu's performance at this point is very good, as the saying goes, the layman looks at the lively, and the insider looks at the doorway.

If it were an ordinary audience, they wouldn't think how well Su Mu acted, it seemed that he just made a few moves and said a few lines, and his eyes and expressions didn't change much, just like ordinary people's usual performance, nothing peculiar.

It will even give people the illusion that being an actor is so simple, and I can do it too.

In fact, as an executive director, Wang Yu is a real person in the industry, and his vision is very poisonous, so he naturally won't look so superficial.

In his opinion, Su Mu's performance is very smooth and natural, without using too much force, and the traces of the performance are very light, which will give the audience a feeling of acting in their true colors, so that it looks more real.

has been in the industry for so many years, Wang Yu has seen too many new actors, and it is really rare to be able to perform so well just after their debut.

This scene is not only watched by the executive director, but also by Wang Dan.

This is the first scene that Su Mu filmed after signing the drama Cool, Wang Dan, as an agent, also wants to see how his quality is, which is related to his future development and his future money.

If the performance is good, the company will strongly support it, and the resources are sufficient, if the performance is not satisfactory, it may be stocked and left to fend for itself.

From yesterday's start-up press conference and today's performance in filming this scene, Wang Dan temporarily gave Su Mu an evaluation of A, which represents a promising future.
