Chapter 025: The End of the Year
Modu X2 Creative Park, the filming location of "Love Apartment".
Although it was Sunday, because the Lunar New Year holiday was coming, everyone was going to work normally, and this was the last working day of the "Love Apartment" crew before the Chinese New Year.
In addition to the main actors, most of the staff who are still here today are staff members who live in or near the magic capital.
Li Mo also figured it out, instead of leaving people here and waiting for them to ask for leave one by one, it is better to take a holiday in batches as soon as possible, at least stay here and continue to work, and they can devote themselves to their work.
Although the investment of the crew of "Love Apartment" is not large, Li Mo is still not stingy at this time, and all the staff have paid an extra month's salary as a red envelope, which also coaxes most people to be happy.
Seeing that everyone was almost there, Li Mo clapped his hands vigorously and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Let's only shoot two shots today, get it done early, and everyone will finish work early and go back for the New Year." Although the crew has been filming for less than a month, everyone is guaranteed to receive a big red envelope. Let's get to work!"
Hearing this, everyone erupted in cheers.
"Long live the director!"
Although I promised to shoot only two shots, it was not easy.
The first thing to start filming is Lu Ziqiao's inner monologue before picking up a girl, which is basically an actor's personal performance.
"One of the secrets of chasing girls is to do what they like......"
"For example, what if the girl I plan to make friends with recently happens to be a die-hard fan of Stefanie Sun?"
"It's simple......"
Sun Yizhou bent down to pick up a plastic storage box,
"Learn all the songs of Stefanie Sun, and sing love songs hand in hand in a romantic environment,"
"She's going to love my ...... for moving the stage."
"Click!" Li Mo stopped directly, "Brother Zhou, when you say the words 'move the song platform', add a slight pause between each word, and the lines and expressions in front are very good, continue to maintain." β
I don't know if Li Mo's words just now had the opposite effect on the staff, and after an NG, the situation continued
"Click!" this time Sun Yizhou didn't hold on to the CD when he showed it, and the CD fell to the ground.
"Click! camera, when Brother Zhou took out the cheat sheet to read the lyrics, he changed to push the close-up and capture the close-up. β
"Click! light, the brightness should be stable, where did the shadow on Brother Zhou's face come from?"
Fortunately, although Lu Ziqiao is an unreliable unemployed vagrant in the character setting, Sun Yizhou, who plays this role, is in very good shape today, even if he restarts 4 times because of staff problems, the level of each performance is very stable.
Not only did he not get angry because of the problems behind the scenes, but he comforted these rookies.
I didn't expect that the identity of the level 02 master brother could still work in this kind of place......
Next is a long-shot rivalry between Chen Chichi and Lou Yixiao.
After this period of getting along, Li Mo can be regarded as seeing it.
No wonder so many people in later generations will use words like "lazy" and "collapsed" to describe Chen Chichi, the reason is actually very simple, he really absorbed some characteristics of the character of 'Zeng Xiaoxian' into his own character.
Li Mo still remembers the first time he saw him, regardless of his appearance, he was completely a rebellious boy in character, all kinds of positive.
Who knew that within a few days of joining the group, this guy hadn't learned anything else, Zeng Xiaoxian's signature move shook his eyebrows, but he was very familiar with rolling melons......
But then again, it seems that the action of shaking eyebrows was decided to be added at Li Mo's suggestion.
For this reason, Chen Chichi has been practicing for a long time.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Mo felt like he had moved a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
Forget it, as long as you can play the role well, let's talk about the rest slowly......
Hopefully it will be done soon......
"If I had known, I wouldn't have announced that I would only shoot two shots today", Li Mo quietly glanced at the staff around him, all of whom looked at Chen Chichi and Lou Yixiao who were preparing pitifully, most of them prayed in their hearts that these two would not have any moths, and it was best to pass them at once.
Hehe, think too much.
This scene is about Hu Yifei and Zeng Xiaoxian mistakenly thinking that Guan Gu and Meijia had cuckolded Lu Ziqiao, and they began to pay attention to Lu Ziqiao's behavior tremblingly. In the next few days, Hu Yifei successively found some small notes with sentences of unknown meaning in Lu Ziqiao's trash can, mistakenly thinking that Lu Ziqiao was schizophrenic because he knew about Meijia's derailment, and then took advantage of Lu Ziqiao's absence to find Zeng Xiaoxian to discuss how to help Lu Ziqiao for a conversation.
Although this content may last less than a minute, it requires the camera to record the actor's performance from multiple angles, and compared to Zeng Xiaoxian, who is nested on the sofa most of the time, Hu Yifei not only has to constantly move around, has a variety of body language, rich facial expressions, and if it is not handled properly, the two characters in the scene will be easily unbalanced.
In his previous life, Li Mo was not actually a director who was good at guiding actors' performances, he was used to comparing the actors' performances with the best results in his mind, and then letting the actors correct them themselves.
If the result in his mind in his previous life is still vague, after the crossing, Li Mo has countless ready-made video clips in his mind, which is enough to make this guidance method play a greater role, which is why Li Mo decided to let Chen Chichi and Lou Yixiao take a real shot first.
Hu Yifei: "Seeing that he is not giving up, he still has to pretend that nothing happened on the surface, which is a precursor to schizophrenia." β
Zeng Xiaoxian (disapproving): "It's not enough for these two sentences." β
Hu Yifei: "Speaking of which, it's all your fault!"
Zeng Xiaoxian (about my hairy face): "Why do you blame me if he is not normal in his heart?"
Hu Yifei: "You were the one who stopped me and didn't let me break the window paper." But you think, the three of them live in the same room, and sooner or later they will know. Well, now the East Window incident has happened. He had nowhere to talk to him, and depression was inevitable. β
Zeng Xiaoxian (suddenly realized): "Then I'll let him talk now." β
Hu Yifei: "Nonsense, now that people's wounds have turned into roses, and tears have entered reincarnation, don't you stimulate him now, don't you send him another ride on the West Heaven Road?"
Zeng Xiaoxian (waking up from a dream): "Well, the milk he took must be mine!"
Li Mo watched back and forth in front of the monitor several times, although he already knew before filming that Hu Yifei's character would be more aggressive and active in this scene because of his wide range of movements and coherent lines, but Zeng Xiaoxian was suppressed too badly. In addition to saying a few lines in the middle, it was completely reduced to a background board, which also made people feel that Zeng Xiaoxian's last line was completely forcibly awkward, and the laughter was seriously insufficient.
After thinking for a moment, Li Mo called Chen Chichi and Lou Yixiao over, " Brother Chichi, the part of Zeng Xiaoxian in this scene is quiet, he didn't think so at first, as Hu Yifei's analysis became more and more serious, he felt that things were not so simple, let's try this, when you read those lines, try to use tone and expression to express such a process step by step, first indifference, then nothing to do with yourself, then a sudden realization, and finally a dream of waking up, that is to say, when most of the body is in a static state, through the tone of the dialogue and the expression on the face, show a sense of movement in stillnessγ β
"As for you, the body language and movements of you just now are rich enough, so you can tighten this one a little bit to make the scene look as balanced as possible. β
Although Lou Yixiao thinks that there is nothing wrong with her performance just now, since the director said so, and Chen Chichi is his senior brother no matter what he says, it is really unnecessary to offend people for the sake of the scene, so Lou Yixiao still did the next one.
Li Mo looked at the effect of this article and felt that although there was still a little flaw, this problem could be made up for through editing, so he still waved his hand, "It's over!"
And everybody rejoiced......
