Chapter 178: Improvisation
To shoot a long set of shots, in fact, the most important thing is not to test the performance ability of Lin Xiaoguang and others, but to test one of Mao Weining's basic skills as a director - scene scheduling.
Strictly speaking, scene scheduling actually comes from drama.
As we all know, a drama has only a few scenes, a play with several actors on stage and off the stage, around a few simple props for more than ten minutes, if the director does not know how to guide the actors to use the space, which audience likes to watch a few people poke on the stage and talk?
So, the dispatch appeared, and the director told the actor, "When you say this, walk over, squat down after speaking, wait for the other party to react, stand up, walk around him and say these few words, turn your head after speaking, wait for the other party to react, go, sit down next to that table, wait for the other party to react, slap the table and stand up, walk towards him, say these few words, turn around and walk away, wait for the other party to pull you up, you are turning your head and walking to the other side......"
There is more attention to scheduling, what comedy takes an arc, tragedy goes straight, quarrels have to be distanced or something.
The above are the basic skills of a drama director, as well as the basic skills of a film and television director, and they are also the directing skills that Lin Xiaoguang, a layman, currently lacks.
Because for a scene in a film and television drama, there is also a space to complete the lines, how to say the lines, in addition to the expression tone, but also with the large body movements completed in the space, so that it is vivid and attractive.
A director who doesn't know how to schedule will export an ugly scene, which is just a camera position saying lines to cut, while a good director will think about the scheduling first, and then the photographer will design the camera movement according to these scheduling.
Mao Weining was not verbose, and after finding Lin Xiaoguang and the other two co-actors, he storyboarded with the photographer, and sent the assistant director to follow up the whole process and arrange the preparations.
Before the shooting, he discussed it carefully with the staff, and there were two main ideas:
The first is the rhythm of the film, this scene is different from the past, you can't shoot for a while, stop for a while, you have to do it in one go.
At the same time, Mao Weining also told the two photographers that this scene must not shake the lens, it must be stable, natural, and long.
The two cameras were pointed at each other, and Lin Xiaoguang sat in the department, writing medical records and putting on a very serious work attitude.
Immediately, the assistant director helped and shouted: "Everyone is in place, this time it's a long shot, the director doesn't shout, you must not stop the work at hand!"
"Got it!"
What this scene is about is that two hours ago, a man in his thirties came to the surgical department, took his girl, and told Chen Tianhua that her daughter had a small lump on her body and needed to be cut and drained.
This actor in his thirties is called Guo Jinglin, an actor who graduated from the Modu Drama Academy, and he came to the crew of "Human Lives Matter" to make a cameo appearance in this scene this time purely for the sake of Mao Weining's face.
I don't know when it started, there is an unwritten saying in the entertainment industry, saying that those in Chinese drama look down on Beiying, Beiying looks down on Shangying, and those who go to drama look down on Yeluzi.
Obviously, Guo Jinglin looked down on Lin Xiaoguang, a young actor who was born in a trick, but he didn't say it to his face, and all his emotions were put in the play.
When he tried shooting with Lin Xiaoguang, Guo Jinglin was already full of energy, thinking that he wanted to be in front of the camera and give Lin Xiaoguang an aura crush, although he was only a cameo this time, but he was very confident that he could steal the limelight of the protagonist Lin Xiaoguang in this doctor-patient dispute.
The preparations were in place, and Mao Weining sat down in the director's chair and waved his hand.
The assistant director then shouted: "Get in place!"
"Are you ready?"
"That's it!"

Emergency department.
Although Lin Xiaoguang didn't raise his head, he had already entered the play, thinking of himself as Chen Tianhua, instead of Lin Xiaoguang who played Chen Tianhua, he replied while holding a pen and writing medical records: "You came to the wrong time, now the outpatient clinic has been off work, and you can't cut the row." β
Guo Jinglin stood in front of him, with a sad expression: "How can you not do it? A hospital of such a big size can't even cut a small bag?"
Lin Xiaoguang put down the pen, raised his head, thought about it, and then said earnestly: "You can do emergency surgery at night, but your daughter's situation is a minor outpatient operation, which is not enough to enter the major operating room." The surgical instruments in the outpatient clinic are sterilized at night, so you can't do it now, so you can come to the outpatient clinic tomorrow during the day. β
Guo Jinglin's neck was crooked, and he said in a leader's tone: "You contact us, can't you do it with a set of equipment, it's such a simple thing!"
Lin Xiaoguang smiled helplessly, and said in his heart, you also think too highly of me, such a big hospital, I am not the director of the nursing department, just tune it.
After slowing down, Lin Xiaoguang said helplessly: "I'm sorry, your request is beyond my ability, your daughter has no tenderness, you can come to the outpatient clinic during the day tomorrow, and we will be responsible for seeing emergency patients at night." β
Guo Jinglin's voice began to rise, and his speech began to be scummy: "Why am I not in a hurry? My daughter has to go to class during the day, and she doesn't have time to come...... My daughter's grades are the first in the class, and you are responsible for delaying her studies?"
To be honest, in real life, this kind of vexatious patient's family is actually not an exception, and the reason why "Human Life Matters" filmed this scene is also to tell the general public about the difficulties of the doctor industry through the platform of TV and from the perspective of doctors.
Lin Xiaoguang didn't explain much, and directly had a showdown with him, saying: "It's useless for you to yell at me, I really don't have this ability, I don't have the equipment now, I really can't do cutting rows." β
Guo Jinglin was completely angry: "What is your name? What is your job number? I am buddies with your dean, do you know?"
Lin Xiaoguang endured it and handed him the badge.
Guo Jinglin glanced at it, and said unexpectedly: "Chen Tianhua, right?
In the face of this kind of unreasonable patient's family, Lin Xiaoguang's good temper is not much left, and he thought to himself, if you want to complain, complain quickly, the medical department will take care of you!
So, Lin Xiaoguang said simply: "If you want to complain, I really can't help it, the medical office is on the third floor, and it will open at half past eight in the morning!"
Guo Jinglin squinted his eyes and grinned, and roared with a fierce face: "I am very familiar with you and your Dean Liu, do you know?"
Lin Xiaoguang sneered and said busily: "I know, you have already said it just now. β
At this time, Lin Xiaoguang looked at the red landline next to the table, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering some experiences he had heard from Dr. Liu before, and decided to plan the plan: "That's right, you make a phone call to Dean Liu, he can solve this matter, you call Dean Liu over, or ask him to transfer the equipment, I promise to cut your daughter's lump in a moment!"
Obviously, this line that Lin Xiaoguang said was originally not in the script.
Everyone secretly glanced at the director, and they all looked at him, waiting for instructions, but Mao Weining stared at the monitor without saying a word.
Mao Weining's face was not a little impatient, but felt very interesting.
Looking at Chen Tianhua played by Lin Xiaoguang, following Guo Jinglin's unreasonable requirements, he is as improvisable as a professional doctor.
The reaction was the same as that of the crew, Guo Jinglin also shook his head, and said in his heart, the good boy dared to change the script without discussion, and I am not a vegetarian, so I hurriedly said: "How can I call him now, it's so late!"
What Lin Xiaoguang thought in his heart was, which onion are you, the dean definitely doesn't know you! If you really know the dean, I don't think you need to mess around with me here anymore.
So, Lin Xiaoguang pointed to the phone next to the table and continued: "I have an internal landline here, you can directly dial the dean's cornet, and I will help you check how many cornets he has." β
Guo Jinglin's arrogance collapsed suddenly, and for a while, he couldn't think of how to deal with it, but he still held an impatient look and said: "Don't fight, don't fight! I don't want to trouble him with this bit of." β
At this time, the little actor who played his daughter was obviously blinded, lowered his head, looked frightened, and didn't dare to look at his angry "father", only knowing that the assistant director told her before filming started, that is, if the director didn't shout, she had to continue acting.
Lin Xiaoguang clasped his hands to his chest and said, "If you don't call Dean Liu, then there is really no way, or you should come back tomorrow during the day, our clinic will not rest during the day." β
Guo Jinglin was still angry, but he was obviously exhausted, not only Lin Xiaoguang could feel it, but other staff members outside the camera could also feel it.
Guo Jinglin helped his glasses, lowered his head, and was hesitating, how to deal with it, suddenly, his glasses swept to the shoes worn by Lin Xiaoba's feet, and then changed the topic and asked: "What kind of doctor are you?
Lin Xiaoguang looked at the slippers on his feet inexplicably, and thought, this is worthy of being a powerful actor, and he is quite involved in the play, so he can actually pull the topic to my shoes......
However, this slipper is specially requested by Lin Xiaoguang himself, many people think that doctors should be decent or neatly dressed, in fact, Lin Xiaoguang has been on the night shift with Dr. Liu several times before, he found that many doctors on night duty like to wear slippers to the night shift, the reason why wearing slippers to the night shift is that if you stay up late to see a doctor and are tired, it is convenient to sleep in slippers directly, without wearing socks to take off and drag around, and secondly, to be comfortable.
Lin Xiaoguang said as a matter of course: "We wear this for surgery, of course we can wear it on duty, and many doctors in our hospital wear it on night shifts, so I don't believe you can go and see it yourself." β
After that, Guo Jinglin was like being stuck in the throat by a fish bone, his face was red with anger, but he couldn't speak, this kid made his own lines again.
Lin Xiaoguang didn't shy away from the anger in his eyes at all, and still looked at him so lightly.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a few seconds, Guo Jinglin originally wanted to have a free play and choke back, but he really couldn't think of lines in his head, so he could only grab his daughter with one hand, turn around and say: "Go! Don't do it! I'm going to complain about you, what kind of bullshit doctor are you! What kind of bullshit service attitude!"
Then, he cursed all the way out of the door of the ward.
