Chapter Twenty-Seven: Filming Begins
Just in front of the lines, Mr. Cui came in through the front door, and by the way, he evacuated the lively students.
She is a teacher of the Youth League Committee of the school, and she is generally responsible for the activities of students in the school, and club work also belongs to her scope of work.
Cao Wu has been familiar with her a lot since the last welcome party, and in fact, she has also helped a lot in the preliminary preparations for the filming of this micro-film and the contact with various clubs.
She is nominally here to do on-site guidance, but in fact she is here to watch the shooting scene and not to cause any danger.
It's nice to have a teacher there, but at least the noisy students outside the classroom are a lot quieter.
Cao Wu and the others said hello to her, and Teacher Cui walked to the corner and sat down with Lele, obviously unintentionally interfering in the filming work.
And after a few lines matching, Liu Jingshu was already much more relaxed, and finally after the lines were correct, she closed the script and asked tentatively: "Why don't we try to play it again?"
Taking out the beef, meatballs, vegetables and other ingredients in the crisper box and putting them on the table, Cao Wu turned on the power of the water dispenser.
There was no bucket on the water dispenser, and the lid was opened, and the water inside had been boiled, and after Cao Wu turned on the power, the water boiled again.
"Can this water dispenser really cook hot pot?" Liu Jingshu swallowed her saliva and asked, "And it can really be eaten?"
"Of course!"
This water dispenser was bought by Cao Wu with the money of the small treasury, and it was cleaned and cleaned, which was specially used for filming this scene.
Moreover, the ingredients brought this time were also specially bought by Cao Wu, and they are absolutely fresh.
"Isn't it a bit extravagant to film like this?" Liu Jingshu couldn't help but say as she watched Cao Wu tear off the plastic wrap on the fresh-cut beef.
"This is one of the few perks for the protagonist. Cao Wu laid out the ingredients, threw two fish balls and a few vegetable leaves into the water dispenser, and said: "You just act as you imagined, I will cooperate with you, let's just have a good time, okay?"
"Okay. Liu Jingshu nodded, her eyes staring at the tumbling balls in the water dispenser, which should be almost ripe.
Cao Wu called the photographer who was sitting next to him and wore glasses, and said, "Then let's take the first shot first, although it is a sports shot, it is still relatively simple, start with a close-up of the hot pot, and zoom out until the two of us appear in the picture at the same time." Senior Brother Pan, you should pay attention to your hands steady, grasp the focus well, and don't make the picture empty. I am the only one in this shot, Chen Jing, you just have to eat. Do you understand everything?"
Cao Wu arranged it very carefully, Senior Brother Pan nodded, and then turned around to get the camera.
Liu Jingshu whispered: "This is starting to call me Chen Jing?"
"It's already turned on, Chen Jing, please be serious. ”
Sticking out her tongue, Liu Jingshu sat up straight, looking at the tumbling balls in the water dispenser, apprehensive.
"OK. Senior Brother Pan tried to shoot a few times, and after mastering the degree of focus, he spoke.
Cao Wu nodded, turned around and asked the two photography club brothers who were squatting on the ground to adjust the direction of the lights, "Is the lighting good?"
"The lights are good. ”
"The recording is in place. ”
Although there was still some noise outside the classroom, the senior brother in charge of the radio still wanted to try recording the simultaneous sound.
Brother Pan held the SLR steadily, aimed at the tumbling balls in the water dispenser, and waited for the shooting instructions.
In order to reduce the pressure on the actors, in addition to Cao Wu, Liu Jingshu, the four senior brothers of the photography club, and Teacher Cui, only Lele was left alone in the classroom, responsible for the work of scene notes.
Everything was ready, Cao Wu nodded to Lele, and Lele, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed to the camera, held up the clapperboard sponsored by the handicraft club, and shouted: "The first scene of "Flash Girl", one shot at a time, action!"
The clapperboard is a small wooden board with information such as the number of scenes, shots, director, title, film company, etc., which needs to appear in front of the camera every time you shoot, so that it can be edited by editors in the post-production process.
The clapperboard was removed, Liu Jingshu reached out of her chopsticks like lightning and clamped towards the balls, but she was nervous, and she couldn't catch it after several times, Cao Wu's lines were finished, and her chopsticks were still busy in the water dispenser.
"Click!" Cao Wu reluctantly stopped: "Sister, can't you clip a piece of food?"
"Oh, why don't I listen to this chopstick?" Liu Jingshu said with annoyance.
"It's okay, do it again. ”
Lele stepped forward.
"The first scene of "Flash Girl", one shot twice, action!"
The camera opened again, Liu Jingshu was smart this time, and put a vegetable leaf into a disposable paper cup to eat.
Cao Wu held the paper cup, hesitated, and said, "Nerves, your feelings for Senior Brother Wang Wen are obsessed, try to let go!"
"Put it down, where to put it?" Liu Jingshu read along the plot lines.
"Click!" Cao Wu stopped and said, "Your lines are in the next shot, not now." ”
"Oh! Soders pinch!" Liu Jingshu suddenly realized.
Cao Wu got up and came to Senior Brother Pan's side and asked, "How is it?"
Senior Brother Pan brought up the material: "Yes, the picture is fine." ”
Cao Wu looked at it and said with satisfaction: "This shot has passed!"
"What? That's over?" asked Liu Jingshu in surprise.
"What, how many more times do you want to come?" Cao Wu smiled.
After all, they are all students, and their acting skills naturally cannot be compared with professional actors, Cao Wu feels that his Mandarin is a little substandard, but this happens to be more authentic.
Drama is like this, it can be like "Teahouse", where everyone, every action, and every line is exquisitely designed, or it can be like a documentary and put a camera on the street to record all kinds of beings.
Drama has different methods of expression, and when funds are limited, truth is the biggest weapon.
After the first shot twice, Liu Jingshu's confidence increased greatly, and she couldn't help but say proudly: "It's not so difficult to film!"
Cao Wu smiled and didn't speak, it's a good thing to have confidence, which is why he chose a simple shot as the first shot.
"Go ahead! Prepare for the next shot!"
Next, Cao Wu arranged two machines to shoot separately at him and Liu Jingshu, so that the filming could be coherent, the actors could catch the plot, and the shooting time could be reduced.
There are a total of 46 shots in this scene today, and even if one shot is shot for 5 minutes, it will take nearly 4 hours, and if you don't want to save time, I'm afraid you will have to shoot until midnight.
Many of the students who had watched the excitement went home after a while, and soon, there was no one outside the classroom.
"Click!"
"Click!"
……
With the passage of one scene after another, today's scenes are finally finished.
Hurry up, or shoot until ten o'clock in the evening, Lele's mother, who came to pick up Lele, has already run to the classroom to wait.
"According to this filming schedule, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish filming in a month!" took Lele's mother's hitchhike home, Cao Wu said with some concern.
Liu Jingshu, who had not yet eased her excitement, said with confidence: "It's okay, today is mainly because I am out of shape and have lost time, and I will definitely shoot better next time than today!"
After calculating the time, Cao Wu asked, "In six days, it will be eleven?"
"yes! I almost forgot. ”
"If you want to speed up the progress, let's not rest on Eleven, let's catch up with the scene!"
"I'm fine. Liu Jingshu asked Lele beside her, "Lele, are you willing?"
After watching it all night, Lele was already envious, and he couldn't wait to shoot his own scene immediately, so he said: "Of course I do!"
"Okay, tomorrow at noon, we'll gather the main members of the crew for a meeting to discuss this matter. ”
