Chapter 123: A Little More Wave of Expression (Second Update)
After these days of preparation, "Old Boy" finally started filming on a sunny day.
For a while, Lin Xuan was busy participating in the spring of the band, and it took a lot of time from rehearsal to recording.
Originally, the last time Lin Xuan and Yan Hao talked about taking the easy and funny route, and after determining some of the main supporting roles, he said that he would let Yan Hao shoot, as long as he could grasp the ridiculous and funny style.
However, before starting filming, Yan Hao still called Lin Xuan.
"Lin Xuan, I'm still a little unsure about the absurd and funny style you want to perform, that day you asked Sun Tian to demonstrate the style of acting, I understand a little bit, but the rhythm and control of this kind of thing are very important. So at the beginning, you still have to come to the scene to check the gates, you still have to be there as a screenwriter. ”
To be honest, Yan Hao likes the story theme and main line of the script of "Old Boy" very much, and thinks that this dream-chasing story is very interesting and can resonate with many people.
The theme song of the same name that Lin Xuan sang to him before made him extremely moved.
However, Yan Hao couldn't understand Lin Xuan's contrasting casting, and he also had doubts about the performance style, feeling that it was too out of tune.
This micro-film has invested hundreds of thousands, which is already a very high investment in micro-films.
Yan Hao was not optimistic about the prospects of this micro-film, and was worried that Lin Xuan would blame him for losing money, so he did not start filming immediately, but strongly asked Lin Xuan to come over and check it.
When the time comes, if the micro-film hits the street, he also has something to say, you asked me to shoot it like that, I will say no, you have to shoot, what can I do.
Lin Xuan sensed Yan Hao's thoughts and understood that he was not very optimistic about this micro-movie.
In fact, not only Yan Hao, Sun Tian and others are actually very worried about the future of this micro-film, especially after Lin Xuan took them to the street for casting, they were really shocked by the commotion.
"Master Xing, you see, there is no you in this world, people's understanding of funny is still stuck in that traditional way, Stephen Chow is not born in nature, and comedy is like a long night. ”
Lin Xuan sighed silently in his heart, and then agreed.
Anyway, he has already determined the songs selected for the next "Spring of the Band" "Freedom" theme competition, and the rehearsal can be completed in a few days, and he can spare a little time to spend on the crew.
It's a bit exaggerated to write a song immediately every time, and it is just right to say to Zhang Fei and others that it is conducive to creation to change his brain, and to organize his thoughts while doing something else.
……
In the micro-movie, Sun Tian plays Xiao Dabao, Chen Kai plays Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhou Fan plays Bao Xiaobai, and Lin Xuan, one of their college classmates, Shen Hong, plays the school flower.
In their previous lives, when Xiao Yang and Wang Taili starred in micro-movies, they were relatively old, especially Wang Taili was 40 years old, and there were already wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and he had a great sense of disobedience when he played a teenager.
At that time, the crew was relatively poor, and the two were reluctant to spend money to use a computer to deal with wrinkles, so they adopted the long-lost raw and hard dragging beauty method in the rivers and lakes, and glued the back of the eyes with adhesive tape, causing the skin to feel tight, and there was no one.
However, now Sun Tian and others are 22 years old, and there is no big problem for several people to play middle school students.
is that Bao Xiaobai played by Zhou Fan doesn't need to look like a good thing, and he has to feel a little thief, so the makeup artist clicked a conspicuous mole on the corner of Zhou Fan's mouth, and with the transformation of the hairstyle, the whole person's image and temperament have changed greatly.
As soon as Lin Xuan saw Zhou Fan, he immediately burst out laughing, "Hey, little thing, you look quite peugeot, I can see at a glance that you are not a good person." ”
Zhou Fan glared at Lin Xuan and ignored him.
The first scene of the student days of several people was filmed.
For commercial films, the first scene of the opening scene needs to determine the style of the film, so that the audience can know the style of the film at a glance.
First of all, they filmed the group scene in the classroom first.
A girl is looking at the small mirror to pamper herself, and the boy in the back row stretches out his sinful hands and puts them on the indescribable part of the girl's upper body, with a steamed bun in his left hand and a steamed bun in his right hand, making indescribable movements.
The first scene of this opening establishes the comedic style.
Then in the chaotic classroom, the boys were fighting with each other, and one boy opened the book, revealing a colored photo sandwiched between the book, and used a magnifying glass to observe the human anatomy, huh...... It's hairy, it's magical, it's good-looking.
A big fat man sat on a seat covered with thumbtacks, his expression changed, and he let out a hoarse scream.
The comedic style was further determined.
There were no problems in the previous shooting, Yan Hao was born in a science class, and his strength is still there, and the lighting props and sets also pull people to the past, with a strong nostalgic style.
However, there were some minor problems that soon followed.
"Sun Tian, let go, be a little sassy, yes, yes, just shake your head and play the guitar and sing, damn, I'll let you shake your head, it's not for you to shake your head, the amplitude is too big, you have to smile on your face, yes, that's it, it's this kind of cheap that makes people want to hit your smile when they see it, wave a little, yes, wave a little more. ”
When Sun Tian held the guitar to confess to the school flower, Sun Tian's acting was relatively acceptable at first, he knew that he was the school boss in the play, so he highlighted some ruffians when he performed, but it did not reach the prodigal and cheap style that Lin Xuan wanted.
Therefore, after a short downtime, Lin Xuan guided it.
As an actor from a professional class, Sun Tian quickly grasped the essence of what Lin Xuan said and expressed that feeling.
He didn't act properly before, to put it bluntly, it's not that he can't act, but in his heart he feels that he shouldn't act in that direction.
……
When it came time for Chen Kai to perform the dance of this world pop superstar James at school.
Chen Kai doesn't know how to dance at all, and he is naturally very amateur, and he himself is a little embarrassed.
Lin Xuan applauded vigorously and said:
"It's good, that's it, you don't have to dance well, it's okay to be like that, but you have to feel good about yourself when you dance, you have to feel like you're the brightest star on the stage.
You have to imagine yourself as a peacock with the screen open, and all the female peacocks around you are yours, yes, seduce the school flower with your eyes, it's not enough, and it's a little more exaggerated.
Damn, who let you generate electricity, who made you play handsome, I want to play treasure, not handsome.
What I need is for the audience to laugh when they see your expression and think it's a joke, not to fall in love with you when they see your handsome expression.
You have to understand that you just feel good about yourself, but in the end you are presented to the audience, and you have to make the audience feel that you are very out of tune. ”
Chen Kai quit and said:
"I think there's something wrong with your logic, if I don't dance well, why do the classmates around me watch me perform seriously, if I'm playing treasure, why should the school girl look at me with appreciation. ”
Lin Xuan explained:
"It is precisely because of this that it feels very inexplicable, and there will be a sense of absurdity, comedy itself is very cruel, and many times, the laughter of comedy comes from watching others be unlucky or embarrassed.
When the audience sees this scene, they will think that the characters in it are so stupid, so unreasonable, and very nonsensical, so they laugh. ”
"What do you mean by nonsense?" Chen Kai asked.
That's a long story, and it needs to start with June 22, 1962 and the sentence "Xiongzhou fog column, Juncai Xingchi". ”
"What the hell?!"
"It's just nonsense, you just shoot as I say, and when the final film is cut out, you can see the effect by watching it yourself. ”
