Chapter 20: The Shooting of "Ghost Bell" (Part I)
Important indoor scenes in the film, such as Bangbei Villa, Chi Mingzhe chose to be in the villa area of Yanguiyuan, and other filming locations have also been set. Chi Mingzhe held a rather Chinese-style start-up ceremony, incense case, incense burner, candles and roast suckling pig, Chi Mingzhe lit three incense sticks and bowed to the words in his mouth, and said very quietly: Hope a qiēshun lì...... Your spirit in heaven can ......
Ha Ji Won stood in a row behind him, watching Ji Mingzhe plug in the incense and turn around:
"Everyone divided the suckling pig and ate a little to be auspicious. The staff and Son Ye-jin and others stepped forward to pick up a small piece, and Ha Ji Won handed a piece to Ji Myung-cheol.
"Thank you!Ji Won, I'll shoot you and Tae-hee at the art museum later, are you ready?" Ji Myung-cheol looked at her with suckling pork in his mouth, but his index finger suddenly subconsciously wiped the corner of Ha Ji Won's lips, and then put it in his mouth and sucked it in her surprised eyes.
"It's broken!" Ji Mingzhe reacted in his heart.
"That...... Ji Won, you talk to Tae-hee first, and I'll go and see the set. Ji Mingzhe didn't wait for Ha Ji Won to speak, and left in a hurry.
"You...... Hmph......" Ha Ji Won watched him leave in a hurry, a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Arriving in a large room that had been emptied, Ji Ming-chul called Lee Yong-sik and took out the storyboard to discuss with him, as the director of photography, Lee Yong-sik played a role in the film second only to Ji Ming-cheol, and he had to guide the entire crew on the set: lighting, lens setup, camera scheduling, exposure control, and composition. At the same time, the tone of the whole movie was decided by him and Ji Mingzhe.
In fact, in any film and television, the position of director of photography is the person who turns words into pictures in the true sense, and Ji Mingzhe, like a director, only needs to pay attention to the shooting content. This is the first film the two of them have collaborated on, and Ji Myung-cheol wants to train him as a good partner for himself.
In this movie, Li Yongzhi is also the main photographer, leading two young photographer assistants to have set up the camera position, the lighting is also good, and the on-site staff hung some oil paintings on the surrounding walls, Ji Mingzhe looked at the color balance of the scene from the monitor in front of him, and then used the test card to draw it, and nodded to the field mark.
"The actors are in place!Act 25, Scene 1, Ready ......" A young female field reporter holds a clapperboard in front of the camera.
"Action!" Ji Mingzhe commanded as the clapperboard sounded.
Ha Ji Won and Kim Tae-hee stand in front of an oil picture and start a conversation, while Bae so-ji's children sit on a bench behind them and play jigsaw puzzles, with a close-up view of Ji-won and Tae-hee:
"You should pick up the paintbrush again and don't let some trifles and family bury your talent......" Ha Ji Won.
"I just want Young-joo to live ...... now," Kim Tae-hee ......
"Lingling......" The phone rang, Ha Ji Won hurriedly turned around to get the bag on the bench behind him, and suddenly he stumbled and stood unsteadily.
"cat!" Chi Mingzhe shouted.
The staff stepped forward to ask what was wrong with He Zhiyan, and Ha Zhiyuan hurriedly apologized that he was in a hurry and didn't stand firm. Ji Myung-cheol and Tae-hee talked to Ji-won to make their expressions more natural, and then came to Bae so-ji, who was sitting on a bench, squatted down and touched her head.
"Suzy, it's your camera later, don't be nervous, don't keep your eyes on the camera, you know?" Ji Mingzhe pinched her little face again.
"Well, I know, uncle!" 7-year-old Xiuzhi is very sensible, in fact, Chi Mingzhe originally wanted to call Crystal from the United States to play this role, but the United States went back and forth too far Chi Mingzhe felt a little sorry for Xiao Crystal, and finally chose Pei Xiuzhi in the company.
"Really good, I'll show you well later, and don't call me uncle, call me Oba!" Ji Mingzhe teased her, and then continued filming.
“Action!”
In this way, it was 5 o'clock in the afternoon that was filmed from the morning to the afternoon, during which NG was NG many times, mainly because there was a problem with Suzy's performance after answering Ha Ji Won's phone call in the next film, Ji Myung-cheol kept telling sù how she should express her expression and how to shoot, and then Kim Tae-hee and Ha Ji Won also NG a few times, and finally finally completed the shooting of the two-act scene. After looking at his watch, Ji Mingzhe decided to shoot here today.
After cleaning up the scene, Ji Mingzhe inquired about the scene and learned that there will be heavy rain in Seoul tonight, which is just right to shoot the relevant scenes in the movie, and informed the entire crew to continue filming at night. When he went to the Crystal Palace for dinner with Ha Ji Won and Kim Tae Hee, Ji Myung Cheol secretly apologized to Ha Ji Won, and Ha Ji Won secretly stretched out his hand and pinched his arm twice, and then entered the restaurant with Kim Tae-hee casually, and glanced back at him charmingly before entering the restaurant.
"Elf...... Isn't that interesting to me?...... No, we don't know each other yet...... This?" Ji Mingzhe muttered to himself as he followed.
"Oba!...... here" There were a lot of people in the restaurant but it was not crowded, Ji Mingzhe followed the sound and saw Xiuyan, Miying and Xiuying, Yuna and a few of their friends were sitting together eating, shaking their hands, and quickly took the food to their table.
"Don't bother you!" Ji Mingzhe waved his hand to let the girls who were about to stand up and salute sit down, and after speaking, he sat between Xiuyan and Meiying, and looked at the small fresh meat at the same table that had not yet grown, and Ji Mingzhe was in a better mood.
"How have you been practicing lately, have you worked hard?, Mi-young, how are you learning Korean?" Ji Ming-cheol stuffed food into his mouth,
"It's alright! I can already say some full sentences. Mi-young tilted her head and looked at Ji Myung-cheol as she replied in Korean.
"Behave, Mi-young, you have to study hard, you have mastered the Korean language as much as possible, and there will be a reward for learning Oba well!" Ji Mingzhe smiled and twisted Mi-young's face. Taeyeon, so-young, and Yoon-a blushed a little as they watched Ji Myung-cheol and Hwang Mi-young's intimate actions, while Kwon Yoo-ri and Seo Joo-hyun covered their mouths and stared wide-eyed, only so-yeon was eating as she was accustomed to. The two of them who were born in the United States are very accustomed to these, Ji Mingzhe takes care of them like an older brother, and they are naturally more dependent on him in a strange South Korea, so they are not disgusted by Ji Mingzhe's affectionate behavior towards them.
Ji Mingzhe looked at the expressions of the others and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"Don't be so surprised! We are American style! You are all like sisters to me, and my brother is intimate with my sister, which is nothing! And I have no relatives, I am very lonely alone, especially during the New Year's holidays, you can't experience that kind of feeling, I am afraid of loneliness and loneliness, and I hate this feeling, fortunately, there are Xiuyan in the United States, the United States and the United Kingdom, they ......" Chi Mingzhe suddenly felt a little sad.
"William......" Su-yeon and Mi-young held Ji Myung-cheol's hand tightly. Taeyeon, Yoona and Yoona looked at him with a little redness in their eyes, wanting to say something to comfort but not knowing what to say.
This side is playing the "brother and sister" affection, Ha Ji Won at the other table retracted his gaze and looked at Ji Mingzhe, lowered his head to cut the food on the plate in front of him, Kim Tae-hee glanced at Ji Mingzhe's back and whispered to Ha Ji Won:
"He's a very good person to rely on! He has a good looks, a good personality, he doesn't have a girlfriend yet, and the most important thing is that he has a lot of money, I tell you that the information departments of large companies and large groups in South Korea have privately investigated our elder, do you know how much he is worth?" Ha Ji Won shook his head and was intrigued by Kim Tae-hee's words.
As an "outsider", Chi Mingzhe will more or less attract the attention of some enterprises and individuals, plus a large investment will definitely increase these attentions, these Chi Mingzhe also know it, but he just keeps one thing in mind: strength is the key!.
"I don't know the specifics, but at least billions of dollars, and his private jet is still parked in the hangar at Gimpo Airport! Kim Tae-hee said with a look of reverence on his face, while Ha Ji-won covered his mouth in surprise.
"I heard that he lived alone, his father died, and his mother left when he was a child. He must be very lonely!Sister Jiwon!You have to seize the opportunity!" Kim Tae-hee looked into Ha Jiwon's eyes.
"What does it have to do with me?" Ha Ji Won's cheeks flushed.
"I saw it all in the morning, and I said it didn't matter?" Kim Tae-hee said playfully as he wiped the corner of his lower lip with his fingers. Ha Ji Won's face turned even redder, she thought that no one had seen what happened in the morning, but at this moment a witness was sitting next to her, and she was too ashamed to do it.
"This damn guy ......" Ha Ji Won was indignant, and Mei stared in Ji Myung-cheol's direction, his fingers pinching the napkin hard.
At this moment, Ji Mingzhe coaxed the little fresh meat at the same table to get a lot closer to him, and he even hugged Xu Zhuxian's little sister, who was only 10 years old, on his lap, this strange uncle said some small jokes in the future, which made these girls laugh uncontrollably, Xu Zhuxian twisted a little uncomfortably in his arms, covered his mouth with a red face and laughed with them, Ji Mingzhe seemed to sense something and looked up, and looked at Shanghe Zhiyuan at a glance, both of them were stunned and quickly staggered their gazes.
Back at the villa, Mingzhe is ready to take a nap, there is still a movie to shoot at night. Lying on the sofa in the living room, I thought about the movie in my mind, and I thought of Ha Ji Won's eyes again, and after a while, I thought of Jun Ji Hyun again, and fell asleep in a daze. When he was awakened by a burst of thunder, he stood in front of the window and found that it was raining heavily, raised his hand to see the time, and it was more than 10 o'clock in the evening, and called Li Yongzhi to make an appointment to meet at the shooting location. Just put on his coat, a business car stopped at the door outside the villa, Ji Mingzhe went out and trotted into the car, saw Ha Ji Won and Han Chaeyoung were already in the car, and said hello to Zheng Zexun to drive.
Coming to the downstairs of an old apartment in Seocho District, the crew has already begun to prepare, Ha Ji Won and Han Chaeyoung entered a borrowed house to put on makeup, Ji Mingzhe suddenly thought: "If you shoot movies in the suburbs in the future, is it more convenient to buy a few RVs, so that it is more convenient for the actors to make up and change clothes, and they can take a break when they are tired, let's talk about this later!"
Han Chaeyoung plays the role of a character who returns home on a rainy night but dies in an elevator, and the makeup artist helps her paint her face and put on fake nails, and walks out of the dressing room to the foyer of the apartment building. At this time, the background lights have been turned on, due to the heavy rain, Chi Mingzhe found from the monitor that the gray scale of the whole scene was very unnatural and too dark, and called Li Yongzhi to discuss, and asked the gaffer to add two tungsten strong lights to the entrance hall of the apartment, and added an Alai lamp to the door, looking at the color balance of the monitor, he couldn't help but nodded.
As the clapperboard sounds, the film begins to shoot again.
