Chapter Ninety-Eight: Sampan

It's already cold in New York in November.

If it's by the sea, it's a little colder.

But whether it is for the needs of the plot, or considering the image and beauty of the actor when he appears on the big screen, it is impossible to allow the actor to wear too thick costumes to shoot at this time.

Even in order to highlight the beautiful body lines of the actors, they have to deliberately wear less - this is two different concepts from selling meat, after all, no one can deny that the actors' appearance and figure show are always very attractive to the audience. Otherwise, the heroine of the movie would not have to deliberately choose some young girls with good looks.

What's more, Qin Jingjing is still a famous beauty.

It's just that the actor will suffer a little.

After the crew of "Autumn Fairy Tale" came to New York, they first processed a few scattered shots that needed to be filmed on the street after coordinating with the local police department, and then came to the beach, while taking some shots on the beach, while waiting for the notice from the airport, they were ready to go over and shoot the shots in the airport reception hall and outside the pick-up hall at any time.

This is the case with film shooting, costume films are better, indoor scenes have studios, outdoor scenes have film and television cities, and wild scenes are either beautiful mountains and rivers, or Gobi deserts, all of which are places where there are no people, and they are all easy to handle. But modern urban dramas are more troublesome, if the director still insists on on-site shooting, it will be even more troublesome, and if the location of this on-site filming is still in the United States, or in a big city like New York, it will be even more troublesome.

Fortunately, Minghu culture has some roots in the United States.

John Days is an old guy who has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years, and he has been a producer for more than ten years, and he has rich experience in dealing with the government, police and tax bureaus in the United States and even around the world.

It's really not possible, and you can also ask the Colombian side to help dredge it up - when it comes to dealing with all levels of government in the United States, the Colombian side is even more veteran.

It's just that time needs to be coordinated, and everything has to go according to someone's schedule.

For example, the entrance of the pick-up hall of the New York airport is blocked for two hours for filming, and it is certainly not something that anyone can say that it is closed, even if it is the management of the airport, it has to make certain adjustments according to the situation of the flight, and come up with a relatively low difficulty in implementing the time period - the key is to follow the script of "Autumn Fairy Tale", where the bow ruler still has to show off his driving skills, and the requirements must be daytime.

Li Qian shaved off the stubble left over during the shooting a few days ago, changed into a straight suit, and then let the makeup artist fiddle with his face for a while, and his hair was restyled, and he looked in the mirror himself, feeling that he was quite handsome in a suit, and then he got out of the trailer.

On the beach, Lu Lingxi sat in the director's chair wrapped in a down jacket, but the two girls holding hands by the sea, one big and one small, were both wearing relatively thin clothes - the little girl was better, the crew was really afraid that she would blow her sick, so she was specially allowed to wear a coat, but Qin Jingjing was really just a T-shirt, and if she had a coat, she could only be held on her arm and could not be put on.

The wind by the sea was cool.

Li Qian walked behind the monitor, looking at the performance of the two girls in the monitor lens, one big and one small, the shot of the sea breeze blowing Qin Jingjing's hair, I have to say that she is really beautiful.

But this shot made Lu Lingxi not very satisfied.

She didn't seem to notice that Li Qian was standing behind her, and after shouting "click", she got up and walked over, explained a few words to Qin Jingjing, and deliberately squatted down, and said a few words to the little actor, and then turned around and walked back - only then did she suddenly see Li Qian.

"Tsk!"

Li Qian stood there in a suit, her eyes lit up, she sighed twice, and she didn't know what she wanted to express, and then she didn't say anything, she returned to her director's chair and picked up the megaphone, "All of them, come again, pay attention, let's fight for it again!"

At this time, Qin Nuo ran over with a long down jacket and whispered to Li Qian, "It's so cold, put it on!

Li Qian didn't feel too cold himself, after all, he had a suit jacket on him, but when he heard this, he obediently stretched out his arm and asked her to put on the down jacket for himself.

"Ready...... Let's go!"

Everyone moved, a few American young men who were specially found as backgrounds, walking around the beach in very cool clothes, and some people held surfboards in their hands, regardless of whether this place was really suitable for surfing, anyway, it gave the audience the feeling that this was the American seaside.

Qin Jingjing and the little girl are barefoot, Qin Jingjing is holding her trouser legs, wearing a gray cotton T-shirt on her upper body, a coat on one shoulder, and the little girl holding the little girl with the other hand, and the little girl is simply shorts, but she is wearing a coat on her upper body, and she is half holding a kite in her arms.

The two walked hand in hand on the beach and gradually walked into the camera.

"Anna, do you like it here?"

"I like it, we come here during the summer vacation, okay?"

"Okay!" Qin Jingjing replied with a smile, she looked around, a little leisurely and fascinated, "At night, we can move a stool, sit on the beach, and cool off against the Atlantic Ocean." ”

The little girl, Anna, kept looking up at her, and she said, "I used to know a friend, and his greatest wish was like this. He also wants to open a restaurant here, which is called Sampan. ”

The little girl frowned, "Sampan?"

Qin Jingjing nodded, "Sampan." ”

The little girl didn't seem to understand the meaning of the name, and after a few more steps, she suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the distance ahead, and asked, "Sister, is it like that over there?"

Qin Jingjing smiled, turned her head, and her smile quickly froze, and then, the expression on her face changed rapidly, from shock, to surprise, and then to a calm smile.

This is a medium shot, that is to say, when Qin Jingjing and the little girl who plays Anna appear in the shot, they only take the upper body, and behind them, what occupies more of the whole shot is the wave that swept up in the Atlantic Ocean - theoretically speaking, such a shot is based on narrative, and the main thing for actors in such a shot is to express the plot and push the story forward.

And there are only close-ups of a single person, especially close-ups of the face or upper body, especially when this kind of close-up is given for a long time, it is often a time when the feelings of a play are advanced to a very critical time, or when it is necessary to make a turn and a great breakthrough, in such a close-up, the focus of the whole picture is on the actor's face - this is the time to really test the actor's acting skills.

But Qin Jingjing is not.

Even in such a medium shot, her face appears on the frame, occupying a very small proportion of the picture, but she still easily occupies the absolute focus of the entire shot, and the expression on her face changes subtly and distinctly, expressing the emotional transformation that Lu Lingxi asked her to have at this moment.

This is an actor's absolute acting skills.

Even if it's just a medium shot, it will still give you a full face play.

"Click!" Lu Lingxi hesitated for a moment after shouting, and then said, "It's over!"

Standing behind her, Li Qian smiled.

He knew what she was hesitating about.

Qin Jingjing's performance just now was great, but in this play, it still seems a little too strong - although it was filmed first, this scene is actually the plot of the last few minutes in the whole movie, and the next thing to be filmed, the male protagonist is standing at the door of the "Sampan" restaurant and inviting the heroine Li Qi to enter the door, which is already the last shot of the whole movie.

At the end of the whole movie, Qin Jingjing's performance was a little overdone, of course, it was not impossible, and in fact, she just skipped it a little bit, it was not serious, when this play was shown on the big screen, all the shots were swept by, and the audience actually had no time to carefully distinguish whether the performance of the heroine in this shot was a little too much - but for Lu Lingxi, the mastery of this performance was really "barely usable" and "it seems to be a little bit more meaningful" in between.

However, the weather was too cold and the wind was not small, she was really afraid that the two actors would not be able to bear it.

After she finished shouting "It's over", a large group of actors on the beach immediately ran over one by one, the two main actors were fine, and the American young man who was in charge of acting as the background heard the drama staff shouting "It's over" in English, and quickly rushed back and quickly put on the thick cotton clothes.

And Qin Jingjing took the little girl's hand and ran back, the crew quickly greeted her and put the cotton clothes on her, while the little girl's mother simply wrapped her daughter in the thick cotton clothes and hugged her whole - but the little girl struggled away, jumped to the ground, and ran over here.

"Wow!"

She ran to Li Qian, her eyes widened, and she said in slightly lame and jerky Chinese: "Hello Li Qian, my name is Anna, and my Chinese name is Liu Na." …… You're actually better looking than in the photos and in the MV!"

Li Qian smiled, bent down slightly to shake hands with her, and said, "Thank you." Hello Hannah!"

This little girl, is Chinese, eleven years old this year, immigrated four years ago, Lu Lingxi came to the United States in advance, Du Yihua issued an audition announcement for many roles through the channel of Oriental Dream Film Company, about the role of Anna, a Chinese girl who will appear in the play, and finally Lu Lingxi chose this "Anna".

Of course, she is a fan and movie fan of Li Qian.

And her mother is also a fan and movie fan of Li Qian.

Her mother then chased after her, still wrapped her in a thick cotton clothes, and when she looked at Li Qian, the excitement in her eyes was no less than that of her daughter. She said excitedly, "Hello Qian Shao, can we take a picture with you?"

Li Qian smiled and nodded, "Of course, of course!"

So she quickly pulled out the camera from her bag, and then took the padded clothes that her daughter handed over again.

First, Li Qian took a group photo with Little Anna, then the three of them took a group photo, and finally, she said that she wanted to take a photo with Li Qian alone. When the photo was taken, both mother and daughter were overjoyed.

In the next shooting, of course, Anna still has a lot of scenes, but in today's shooting at the beach, her role is just this one shot, but after the group photo, the two of them seem to have discussed something in a low voice, and then stayed.

And at this time, Qin Jingjing was wrapped in a cotton suit, shivering constantly, and said, "It's so cold!"

He asked Li Qian again, "Is it so cold here in New York in November only?"

In fact, Li Qian didn't understand, and he didn't live in New York all the year round, but when he heard this, he still replied: "Maybe it's mainly the relationship between the seaside, right? I didn't feel so cold in the city these two days." ”

Qin Jingjing nodded hurriedly.

The staff took the hot water cup and handed it over, and she quickly held it in her hand.

At this time, Lu Lingxi had already finished watching the replay, stood up, and said, "It's okay." It's just that Jingjing is still an old problem, and the force is too strong. How long have you been holding it back? You don't have no drama to play, so as for holding it all here? Relax, you know?"

Qin Jingjing shuddered and nodded.

Lu Lingxi turned his head and looked Li Qian up and down, "After the beard is shaved, it is really much more handsome." It is...... Hey, Jingjing, do you think he's actually quite handsome with some stubble?"

Qin Jingjing turned her head, only then did she notice that Li Qian had already shaved his beard, this man was dressed in a formal suit, and he was so handsome that he didn't want to. Her eyes lit up, and she nodded subconsciously, "It's very handsome!" and then shook her head, "I mean he's very handsome in a formal suit like this!"

But after only a moment, she shook her head again, "You have a point. When he grows a beard, he will have a sense of vicissitudes and a little ...... It's not a serious feeling, it's even more handsome than it is now!"

Her point of view changed three times after a while, and Lu Lingxi laughed when she heard it.

She turned her head and asked Li Qian, "Do you think that since we started playing cards, Jingjing's whole person has become a lot more cheerful? She probably wouldn't have praised you handsome in front of so many people before!"

Li Qian shook his head with a smile, "Okay, you two, don't keep talking about me!"

Lu Lingxi and Qin Jingjing both smiled.

Lu Lingxi quickly passed over and directed the crew to shift positions, so a large group of people moved towards the wooden trestle bridge as a whole - Qin Jingjing's eyes kept floating over subconsciously.

When the crew was arranged on the trestle, Qin Jingjing seemed to be gradually warmed up, so she took the initiative to say to Lu Lingxi: "Let's take a shot." I'm fine. ”

Lu Lingxi nodded and turned his head to look at Li Qian.

Li Qian immediately took off his cotton clothes, handed them to the staff around him, and said, "I can do it at any time." ”

Lu Lingxi immediately said: "Okay, Li Qian, you are more familiar with the script than me, go over!"

So Li Qian walked to the door of the restaurant with the "Sampan" sign and stood still.

This is a reunion and the finale of "Autumn Fairy Tale".

"All of them...... Preparation...... Let's go!"
