Chapter 82: Performance
With the staff's boarding, Zhang Ziyi, who was wearing a red cotton jacket and fat cotton pants, ran from left to right, turning back from time to time, and then ran away along the road.
This is Zhang Ziyi's first shot, and it is also the first after the start-up.
It is difficult to shoot a big director's play, this is something that everyone in the industry knows, probably because of the high requirements, you must play a very high level to pass the test, and on the first day of filming, Zhang Ziyi encountered a problem.
As the absolute heroine of the movie "My Father and Mother", if Zhang Ziyi does not play well, it will seriously affect the filming progress, so she can only grind over and over again.
Lao Mouzi's requirements for Zhang Ziyi were very high from the beginning, and a scene where Zhao Di ran after seeing Luo Changyu took an hour and filmed more than a dozen times before passing.
The shooting shots of the movie are not shot according to the plot development of the script, but are first broken down into segments, and then broken down into shots, and then composed of a storyboard script through comprehensive consideration of the scene.
On the basis of the text script, the director takes the content of the storyline as the basic unit according to his own overall concept, and divides the content of the storyline into different scenes, angles, sound and picture forms, lens relationships, etc., which is equivalent to the text workbook of the visual image of the future film.
Storyboard can be said to be the shooting plan and blueprint of the film.
After shooting a shot, Zhang Ziyi has been panting and tormented, mainly in terms of the way she walks, her position, and her sensitivity to the camera are very demanding, and she can't be slow or near or far, which is not only a test of her acting skills, but also a test of her talent.
For example, Liu Shishi, who became popular because of the role of Martese Ruoxi, said that she didn't know how to find a camera at all when she started filming, and it took 13 years to learn it, so you can imagine the difficulty.
There was no Zhou Bai's scene for the whole day of shooting, and Lao Mouzi's first day of filming was basically honing Zhang Ziyi's sense of lens, and it was not certain how much had passed, and he had to make up the shots.
No drama does not mean that Zhou Bai has nothing to do, carefully observing the film shooting on the set is his main job, and the secondary job is to help the staff, and in his spare time, he will chat with Mrs. Li and ask about the movie.
The story of "My Father and Mother" is about the 50s of the 20th century, a young man who lives in the county town Luo Changyu volunteered to be a teacher in Sanhetun and met Tian Zhaodi, a girl in Tun. The two had a vigorous love, and that love was very deep. In that year, Luo Changyu was wrongly classified as a rightist, and Zhao Di had been waiting silently. A few years later, Luo Changyu ended the "transformation", returned to Sanhetun, married Zhao Di, and gave birth to a son Luo Yusheng.
Zhou Bai's scenes are very scattered, the first time he filmed, it was three days later, and he was filming the scene where he rode an ox cart into Sanhetun, which was his first shot, a long shot.
The horse pulling the carriage was tall and sturdy, and its shiny fur shone softly in the sun, looking full of vitality, and Zhou Bai sat on the carriage.
Zhou Bai was wearing a Mao suit uniform, with a pen pinned to his pocket, but his head shape was a little "miserable", all sides of his head were shaved naked, and only a layer of hair was left on the top of his brain.
There were two other people in the car. One is the handlebar type of the car, and the other is the village chief who came to pick him up, not a professional actor, but a local villager, the crew filmed in the Bashang grassland, and the extras were also selected here.
The long lens is still far away, and Zhou Bai's voice will not be recorded, after all, the camera is hundreds of meters away, and Zhou Bai naturally sits on it, chatting with the villagers who are driving the car and playing the village chief.
"Fellow, will you be nervous about the first performance?" Zhou Bai asked with a Jidi accent.
"It's okay, the director said, what do you usually do to drive now, how about now, is the baby from here?" said the charioteer, driving a carriage is commonplace for them, and it is not a difficult task.
"It's not a grin to be hungry, I've just learned it for a short time, right?" Zhou Bai said with a smile.
"Don't say it, it's really decent, I thought it was here just now. ”
"Yes, after a while, it will be your authentic accent here, and when others ask about it, they will say that it is on the Fengning Dam. ”
When the carriage approached, more people were included in the shot, as is the case in the movie, and the day was as lively as the New Year. Almost all the people in the tun gathered in the tuntou. Men, women, the elderly, children, these people are all played by locals, just look at the excitement, and act in their true colors.
There was nothing too wrong with this scene, it was filmed three times, and the first two sides were mainly because of problems with the villagers' body movements, and then it was reshot, and fortunately the third time passed.
The next scene is the first scene where Luo Changyu and Zhao Di meet, which happens to be one of the few group scenes in "My Father and Mother", although it is very short, but the performance of the extras is a problem, Lao Mouzi not only gave Zhou Bai and Zhang Ziyi a careful lecture, but also gave guidance to the extras.
The carriage stopped. The horse snorted, and the horse's body was wet. Zhou Bai and the village chief got out of the car, and people immediately surrounded them.
The village chief said loudly: "This is the gentleman who came to teach in our Sanhetun, surnamed Luo, Mr. Luo!"
Zhou Bai hurriedly said: "Ah, don't call Mr., call teacher, just call ...... teacher", with a local accent in his words, but it was different, his hands swayed again and again, some discomfort, but it was not revealed, this was the reaction of a group of strangers when he first entered an environment.
At this time, he was a little cramped, feeling the enthusiasm of the villagers, surrounded by the crowd, a little nervous, but he still tried to maintain the gentleness of a cultural person.
This is Zhou Bai's first medium-shot shot, in fact, as he enters the state, if it weren't for Lao Mouzi shouting to stop, he would still be immersed in the performance.
When it came to filming Zhang Ziyi's shot, don't look at the opposing lens, in fact, they were shooting separately, because there was a crowd in the middle, and the distance was not small, so it couldn't be to the end at all.
Zhang Ziyi, who was standing in the crowd, saw all the circumstances of Mr. coming to Sanhetun and looked at it with a curious look.
The role of Zhao Di, for the first time, I felt how interesting this gentleman was, and I felt that this gentleman was very handsome, and I felt that this gentleman had something indescribable, and she had never seen such a man before that......
Zhang Ziyi didn't break the rhythm, and the extras didn't make a mess for the first time, and they still kept up.
After arranging the camera position, Lao Mouzi shouted to start, and the shooting continued.
"Okay, okay......" The village chief said loudly, waving his hand to everyone as he spoke, "I see that my husband is tired too." Let's go to the village government, settle down, and rest first. ”
As he spoke, the village chief had already taken Zhou Bai's luggage from the carriage and handed it to a person beside him, and then led Zhou Bai towards Tunli.
Zhou Bai was full of smiles, followed behind the village chief, and smiled at the people around him.
People followed Zhou Bai and walked to Tunli together.
Zhou Bai glanced at the camera as he walked.
It seems that he glanced at the camera intentionally or unintentionally, and it was naturally clean.
Then Zhou Bai's eyes changed, he seemed to be attracted by a certain figure, he was stunned for a moment, and after less than two seconds, he turned his head and followed the village chief away.
"Okay! stop!" Lao Mouzi's voice sounded, and the shot ended.
After watching the replay from the monitor, Lao Mouzi clapped his hands and announced: "This shot has passed." ”
At this time, he and photographer Hou Yong glanced at each other, and Lao Mouzi saw an excitement in the other party's eyes to discover a new world.
