Chapter 660: Shooting
With Lin Qirong in place, the crew was officially formed and began to enter the tense run-in stage.
Li Guangsheng and Lin Qirong will talk to the actors every day, express the characteristics of the role to be played by each person and their own requirements for this role, and help the actors achieve the effect required by the crew.
This one is the hardest at first, because it's hard to accurately capture the feeling, but once you get the feeling of the character, it's a lot easier to follow.
Lin Qirong refused to choose the method of directly entering the filming and slowly running in the filming, but personally checked the pass, helped the actors find the feeling one by one, passed the test one by one, and required everyone to meet their own requirements before they passed.
"Acting in comedy is not pompous, and it is not something you can achieve with exaggerated body language.
You have to substitute yourself in the situation at that time, and use the shortest, simplest words, the simplest body language to express the ultimate comedic effect, otherwise anyone who comes over can have the same effect? What else do we actors do?"
Lin Qirong is quite frightening when he is serious, and his requirements are very high, even Zhang Junhuai has been criticized by him mercilessly several times.
Ayimu, who is considered to be the most favored and will not be scolded, is the actor who has been criticized the most, because she has the least experience and her acting skills can't keep up, even if she thinks of what she should do in her mind, she can't express it in actual action, and Lin Qirong pointed it out again and again and then repeatedly explained and demonstrated to her.
Fortunately, because she is a girl, Lin Qirong's tone is not very serious, but she patiently plays with her repeatedly, making her constantly look for her feelings.
Even so, Ayimu is also the most criticized member of the whole crew, but she has a very good attitude, constantly learns lessons and experience, and keeps approaching Lin Qirong's requirements.
This time, Lin Qirong took out the script "The Richest Man in Xihong City", which tells the story of Wang Duoyu, a goalkeeper who is mixed in the C-level amateur football team, who was expelled from the team because of the loss of the game, but gained a lot of wealth because of inheriting the inheritance of the second master, which caused a series of laughable events.
In Lin Qirong's previous life, this movie once detonated the film market and won a very high box office, but the word-of-mouth was polarized and mixed.
But Lin Qirong has always thought that it is a great comedy, as long as it can make people laugh, then it is a qualified comedy.
This movie, which seems to be exaggerated but actually reflects many social realities: buying the entire team, chartering the most luxurious hotel, eating all-you-can-eat lobster, treating Lafite as grape juice, eating American ginseng handfuls, chartering a golf course as a football training ground, inviting top teams to play with him, investing in all kinds of unreliable dreams, having lunch with Warren Buffett and paying a monthly subscription, burning up the city's giant fireworks, using various large-scale outdoor advertisements to make crazy courtship, and inviting big stars to hold private concerts......
This is not just a fantasy world after Dick Si gets rich, because poverty limits our imagination, and we really don't understand the world of the rich!
Maybe the lives of the rich in reality are more exaggerated than these, but we don't know it in that circle.
Not to mention that behind this seemingly light-hearted and joyful comedy story, there is a test about human nature - the choice of money and love, but under the madness and test is the richest man's thoughts and perceptions of the road of life.
Zhang Junhuai plays the actor Wang Duoyu, who became a billionaire overnight, but the challenge of spending a billion dollars in a month has become his biggest trouble.
If you want to turn your life around and go to the top, it's really not that simple.
Zhang Junhuai wants to play this role perfectly, which is definitely not a simple matter.
And the role that Ayimu wants to challenge this time is the heroine Xia Zhu, a financial widow with a kind and simple nature and a full sense of justice, and an accountant who supervises Wang Duoyu's spending.
The treasure island dialect is a big challenge for Ayimu, and how to show her own characteristics requires her to work hard to interpret.
Not only that, Lin Qirong has always thought that the movie in his previous life did not portray this character well, it was too silly and sweet and had no particularly big highlights, so that this character finally became a vase-like existence, if it was not for the needs of the plot, it really couldn't leave too deep an impression on the audience.
Or that such a stupid white sweet person did not show his light in a group of crazy people.
This time, Lin Qirong and Li Guangsheng made certain corrections to this role when revising the script, giving her more roles and room to play, and also putting forward higher requirements for her.
If it is still the original silly and sweet character, I believe that Ayimu can do a good job, but after Lin Qirong raised the requirements, it will be difficult for her to control it, and it will be difficult for this role to show a different style.
This is also the main reason why she has been criticized again and again.
Fortunately, she did not lack talent and hard work, and slowly finally found her sense of being and began to give new life to this character.
And as she found her senses, all the actors finally completed the run-in.
Lin Qirong and Li Guangsheng were busy running in with the actors, He Yijun and Ni Jiayin and others were not idle, constantly improving various preparations, and when Lin Qirong and others finished running-in, the crew was also fully prepared.
The crew chose a good day and an auspicious time to officially start filming.
After a long time of running-in, the actors already have a unique understanding of their roles, and they quickly entered the state at the beginning of shooting, and there was no jerky and need to be run-in, and the shooting effect was excellent, and the number of NG times was very small.
This is also the reason why Lin Qirong insists on running in first, allowing the actors to run in while filming to find a feeling, which will definitely make the content of the previous shooting a little jerky, and there is an obvious difference between it and the back after becoming familiar with it, and there will be a disconnect before and after.
This is especially true when the crew has several newcomers such as Ayimu.
It's much better now, everyone's state is stable, the cooperation is skilled, the general content is a pass, the efficiency is very high, only some complex scenes because they don't meet the requirements of Lin Qirong and Li Guangsheng, and they can't achieve the desired effect before they are called NG, and they can pass quickly after continuing to talk about the play.
Sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters, Lin Qirong and his crew proved this sentence with practical actions.
When the crew entered a stable shooting rhythm, Lin Qirong also relaxed, and handed over the guide tube to Li Guangsheng's hands more.
His understanding and mastery of the role, the control of the crew, and the grasp of people's hearts are better than Lee Kwang-sung, and in his hands, the entire crew will be twisted into a rope and work together to shoot the best movie.
But in terms of directing comedy films, Lee Kwang-sung is indeed more talented than him, and it is even better for him to direct.
This gave him a chance to take it easy and do other things while observing the crew.
Zhao Ping has become an agent of Tonghua Entertainment, in addition to dealing with Tongtong-related matters, he also uses his experience to help young artists make faster and greater progress.
She's gradually regaining her self-confidence.
Tongtong once again received an invitation to participate in next year's Vienna New Year's Concert, which is a special honor and represents that the entire world music industry has recognized Tongtong's strength.
The gold medal in the junior category of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition has such benefits.
So at the end of December, he temporarily left the crew and accompanied Tongtong to revisit the old land and came to Vienna, the holy land of music.
Here, he and Tongtong unexpectedly received a warm welcome.
Tongtong is because of her performance in the junior category of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, and for the locals who regard music as the most important part of their lives, this little girl who won the gold medal over the local piano genius Hayden is a veritable little piano princess, and she is very enthusiastic about her.
And Lin Qirong has many fans all over the world because of his wonderful performance in the United States before, and there is actually a fan support club for him here, which surprised him.
The following New Year's concert was naturally a very enjoyable experience, and Tongtong reproduced the song "Autumn Whispers", which won the gold medal in the youth category of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, and won the cheers of the audience.
It's amazing to be able to perform such a piece of music so well at such a young age.
The most important thing is the spirituality in her, the spirituality that resonates with the piano, it is really too strong a talent, which is difficult for children such as Hayden to achieve.
Many people realize that if this little girl grows up smoothly, there will definitely be a place for her in the future piano performance world, and maybe the strongest one.
Lin Qirong didn't think too much about it, watched Tongtong play happily, and then took her to visit the nearby attractions again, and then took her back to Huaxia.
Tongtong continued to attend classes, Lin Qirong continued to return to the crew for filming, and everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened, even though the news media once again reported at length about Tongtong's participation in the New Year's concert.
······
After returning to the crew, filming continued, and there were no twists and turns because of his departure.
"Now that you're back, it's your turn. Li Guangsheng pushed the script to Lin Qirong and said.
In the most recent scene, Wang Duoyu invited Xia Zhu's idol to the hotel for a special concert.
In this scene, according to Lee Kwang-sung's suggestion, Lin Qirong will make a guest appearance as Xia Zhu's idol and sing two songs, and he uses his real name.
"You are Xia Zhu's idol inside, and you are Ayimu's idol outside, who is more suitable for this role than you?" Li Guangsheng Zhenzhen said, and together with He Yijun, he persuaded Lin Qirong to play this role.
In the entertainment industry, there have been no cases where directors have made cameo roles, for example, director Song Haowei, who once made a very popular crazy series of comedy movies, likes to appear in his movies, but they are all inconspicuous roles, which can be regarded as an easter egg in the movie.
The famous director Yuan Kaifeng has also appeared in movies as an actor many times, including many main roles.
"A cameo role also seems like a good experience, doesn't it?"
Eventually, Lin embraced the challenge.
