Chapter 56: Advertising begins
"What's the matter, Brother Li Mo, do you regret it, hurry up and take a taxi over, I'll leave you." Through the phone, you can hear the sound of Li Bo's joy-seeking swallow warbler.
"Pay attention to safety, it's almost time to go back early,—— it's not just the police, the young lady can't be clean, go home and your daughter-in-law or something, it's all unsafe factors." Li Mo smiled evilly.
"Okay, don't make trouble, I'll tell you a serious matter, I have an advertisement to shoot tomorrow, it is estimated that there will be people coming and going, the environment will be very chaotic, can you send me a few people, I want to maintain order, two or three people will do, I will give them 100 yuan per day for hard work." ”
The next day was Saturday, Li Mo got up and cleaned up, and told his parents that he was going to shoot an advertisement today, and he might not come back until night, Li Linsheng and his wife have recently become accustomed to their son often being unexpected, anyway, his son is up, as long as he doesn't cause trouble and doesn't have an accident, let him go.
Li Mo took a taxi and went straight to the filming location, which was rented by Zhang Luo after Yi Xiaoning read the script, it was a small shop on a busy street corner, because it was mainly filmed outdoors, and it could continue to do business indoors, so the shopkeeper did not bargain at all for the rent of 300 yuan a day, but felt that there was a gimmick of filming TV, which would play a role in publicity in the future.
When Li Mo arrived, Lao Gao, Guo Kai and other actors who came from the city had already arrived, they were all from Yunyang City, so in order not to be late, they all got up early in the morning and shared a van to come early. Then Yi Xiaoning, Cui Ling, and the subordinates sent by Li Bo also arrived.
Although it is only a short commercial, there are a lot of people, and there are fifteen or sixteen people in total.
Li Mo clapped his hands, gathered everyone together, first introduced everyone to know each other, and then arranged the division of labor to clarify everyone's responsibilities.
Li Mo himself is the producer, director, coordinator and assistant cameraman, Lao Gao is the photographer, assistant director, sound engineer and sound engineer, Guo Kai is the starring, assistant director and art director, Guo Kai's wife is the scene recorder and set, Guo Kai's daughter is the makeup artist and stylist, Yi Xiaoning is the drama manager and props, and Cui Ling is the production director and miscellaneous chores.
There is also a young actor and five extras, and the three younger brothers sent by Li Bo serve as security guards to maintain order and be under the command of Cui Ling.
Look at the time is not early, Li Mo was about to order the start of filming, Lao Gao grabbed him, Guo Kai waved his hand, and several extras moved out a small case from the corner of the house, with a small incense burner and a handful of sandalwood.
Li Mo smiled secretly in his belly, but he was also really grateful to Lao Gao and Guo Kai, what he didn't pay attention to, people helped to do it, although the matter was not big, and the money was not much, but this friendship should not be underestimated. At the moment, Li Mo was the leader, and everyone bowed together, and then the filming officially started.
Because it's a weekend, there aren't many people who get up early, and even fewer come to eat breakfast, and there are people on the street, but those who come to see the excitement are effectively controlled off camera.
The first scene is the plot of the audition the day before yesterday, and now the environment, costumes, and props are complete, and the actors can play more immersively.
I saw an outdoor breakfast stall, several tables crowded together, diners were eating and drinking, a big pot was steaming, and the boss played by Guo Kai was diligently cooking fried rice and noodles. After makeup, he is now middle-aged in his early forties.
The boss's daughter played by a girl in a repertory troupe, eighteen or nineteen, was busy serving food and noodles, occasionally wiping the sweat beads on her head with a towel to help her hard-working father, and suddenly a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy ran into the camera with a bag, and was caught by a middle-aged woman panting behind her, and she was angry and angry.
The middle-aged woman was a cameo by Guo Kai's wife, she was also an actor in her early years, and she has always had feelings for the performance, so she made a cameo role as the proprietress of a pharmacy.
The boss walked up, took the bag in the child's hand and looked at it, it was a medicine to cure the disease, "Why did you steal the medicine?
"Hmm. Mom is sick. The child nodded, wiped away a handful of tears, and his face was full of grievance and remorse.
"That's Daddy. ”
"—No dad. The child gritted his teeth and showed resoluteness.
The owner negotiated with the proprietress of the pharmacy and took out the money to her, leaving the child and medicine. In fact, any lines in the later stage will be eliminated, and the whole film will be opened by a grand and slow music at the beginning, and all the actors' lines will not be heard, but they still have to be shown in the camera.
Then the boss motioned to his daughter, and the daughter took out a lunch box full of fried rice, the boss shook his head, continued to stretch out his hand, and the daughter added another box of lunch. The boss took it and handed it to the child along with the medicine in his hand, and the child took the bag with a complicated expression on his face, then grabbed the bag and ran away quickly.
The scene will eventually be cut out for about thirty seconds, which is about a third of the entire short film, and is the most important part. The footage of it and the child hiding in the corner to observe the boss and helping the beggar and the old woman successively is Li Mo's shooting task all day today.
However, the filming went smoothly beyond Li Mo's imagination, perhaps Li Mo, who was reborn, was somewhat contemptuous of the society and people in the previous ten years, and always felt that he was the closest to the right center, and today's shooting really educated Li Mo.
Except for a few scenes about children, which were repeated several times, the other processes were smooth, of course, the actors who are used to the drama will always have the suspicion of stealing the scene on the wide screen, but they corrected it with just two shots.
The children's performances were also great, and the hardest shots were only reshot five times. After eating at noon, there were only two small shots left to shoot, and the children's shots would all be over, Li Mo faintly felt that the previously estimated shooting time would only be greatly shortened.
After a morning of running-in, everyone has cooperated a lot, Yi Xiaoning and Cui Ling are becoming more and more competent, Yi Xiaoning found out the clothes, the child and Guo Kai changed, these two small shots are the same scenes, and the shots of the beggar and the old woman have been twice.
The child has also been twice, after all, it is just a staring shot, plus some thoughtful expressions. At half past two in the afternoon, the filming ended. Li Mo, Lao Gao, and Guo Kai looked back at the camera carefully, and they were all satisfied, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, a temporary combination of grass head team, except for the photographer is considered professional, even the actor is not a regular film and television actor. It's still good to be able to save up such works.
Guo Kai said, "If the whole film is shot like this, and there is no problem with the editing later, there will be no problem in passing the customs in the city." What do you say? ”
Lao Gao snorted, Guo Kai and Li Mo both looked at him, thinking that he didn't think it would work.
Lao Gao said: "This advertising public welfare competition, as far as I know, the city has made a work on the art department and the advertising department of our TV station, and then it is ours, it turns out that there is a 'giant current' advertising company has also done it, but the final decision on this matter is our station, so the 'giant current' is all in vain." ”
Lao Gao pursed his lips, "Spend money in vain, take time, and if you suffer a few losses, you won't participate." Each municipality has two places for election...... ,”
Guo Kai was anxious, "Then we're not busy in vain." Aren't both places taken up by them?"
