Chapter 163: Cameo List
Making a movie is a troublesome thing, usually it is the cooperation of multiple departments, and any link that goes wrong may lead to a delay in filming, so the 90-minute plot takes a month or two to shoot.
The makeup details are wrong, the camera focus is wrong, the camera position does not meet the director's requirements, the lighting is wrong, the actors' lines are wrong, the performance is not up to the requirements, the props are not good enough, and there are a lot of things such as goofs during the shooting, which may require a shot to be reshot.
Therefore, film shooting is like a battle, small-budget literary films are small battles, and large-investment commercial films are battles, and how to fight a good battle requires close cooperation from top to bottom.
After Zhang Jingchu talked to Yuan Xiangchang for a long time, she let go of the pressure, her state improved, her performance improved greatly, and sometimes people can see her potential and aura as an actor, but there is a fact that she is a novice after all, and she still needs a lot of learning.
The story told in "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss" involves only one day and one night, but there is no way to really finish filming it in one day and one night, Yu Feihong is the first time as a director, and the ability to control the crew is not enough, so the early stage of shooting is used on running-in.
The first twenty minutes of the plot took nine days to shoot, and all the scenes of this plot took place at Jia Weisi's house, from Li Mingyuan's chat with Jia Weisi and Lin Chuchu, to their decision to help Li Mingyuan find a female companion on the Internet, and finally Mao Weiwei called and agreed to meet Li Mingyuan, and Li Mingyuan was dressed up by Lin Chuchu and went out to see Mao Weiwei in Jia Weisi's car is all the content of the previous plot.
"You should learn how to dress up, someone like you is in such good condition, it will be very handsome to dress up seriously. Zhang Jingchu took a sweater and motioned for Zhou Bai to put it on, and there was some vague information in her eyes.
"I think it's good to dress like this now, just meet netizens, don't you have to be so grand, right?" Zhou Bai said with little confidence, took the sweater in Zhang Jingchu's hand, and resisted faintly with an expression.
"Dude, you're going to meet a stranger, how shabby do you look in your old clothes, this sweater was bought for me by Chu Chu, it's a little bigger, I haven't worn it a few times, it's just right for your size, hurry up and put it on." Huang Xiaoming said while reading the magazine on the sofa.
"It's not good to wear your pants, I don't wear pants with belts, I'm not used to it. Zhou Bai took the sweater and looked left and right, and now he still had a pair of pants on his body, and the belt on it had not yet been tied.
"Isn't it good for our friendship to wear a pair of pants, you are going out to see a girl now, you can't go out in your torn clothes, Liu Tie, do you say?" Huang Xiaoming glanced up at Zhou Bai, said nonchalantly, and turned his head to ask another friend.
"Absolutely, people rely on clothes, we have no money and no career, this is the reality, but we have to be polite. Liu Ye, who was talking about Beijing films, responded.
Liu Tie is a small supporting role in soy sauce, Zhou Bai called Liu Ye to come over to make a cameo, there are a few lines, and this is the paragraph that appears in the movie.
With the help of Zhang Jingchu and the onlookers of Huang Xiaoming and Liu Ye, Zhou Bai got dressed uncomfortably.
"You're so nice now, I'm in love with you. There was an inexplicable light in Zhang Jingchu's eyes.
The atmosphere was a little stiff in an instant, and the information revealed in Zhang Jingchu's words made Liu Ye and Zhou Bai a little uncomfortable, and Huang Xiaoming, who was standing next to him, also had a stiff face.
"That's right, you kill both men and women, and I also like you, Liu Tie, you say yes. After a moment of silence, Huang Xiaoming broke the deadlock.
"Yes, yes, yes. Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and responded.
This paragraph is not easy to film, because it is necessary to show for the first time that Zhang Chuchu, played by Zhang Jingchu, has thoughts about the role of Li Mingyuan, and then falls into a small embarrassing situation because of her words, which requires a high degree of subtle expression control of the actor, and his eyes and limbs need to be accurate.
"Click, this one doesn't work, Xiao Chu's performance is okay, but it can be better, Xiao Ming, you can't show a jealous expression too obviously, Liu Ye, your reaction is bigger, let's do it again." Yu Feihong shouted from behind the monitor.
This shot has been shot four or five times, but what are the shortcomings, Yu Feihong did not give it, but wanted to reset and reshoot.
"Okay!" Zhang Jingchu, Huang Xiaoming and Liu Ye both nodded, and after thinking about it, they also felt that they were not satisfied with their performance just now, so they reset and shot again.
Lin Chuchu played by Zhang Jingchu is not a very simple girl, her feelings for Jia Weisi have no freshness, she has a fashion dream, and plans to go to the magic capital to develop, in her opinion, Li Mingyuan has thoughts about her, so in the celebration party in the evening, she also kissed Li Mingyuan, but Li Mingyuan refused.
After that, she was proposed by Jia Weisi, and after thinking about it again, she accepted it again, so in general, this role is a bit Bichi, so the requirements for acting are not simple.
As one of the other main actors, the role of Jia Weisi is set as an honest man, but he is still sensitive, he knows that the relationship with Lin Chuchu is a little problematic, but he really loves Lin Chuchu, so he chose to use a marriage proposal to make the relationship between the two go to the next level, the first time he did not propose on the Ferris wheel, and the second time he mustered up the courage to finally propose at the New Year's party.
The scenes of "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss" are very simple, one is Jia Weisi's house, a variety of street hangouts, a New Year's party place, one is Mao Weiwei's basement, and there is the countdown of the square, these scenes are more than 90% of the scenes of this movie.
The scenes at Jia Weisi's house are available at the beginning and end of the plot, so it has to be filmed first, and it is actually more than enough to rent it for a month, but it actually takes ten days and two days, and the rest will be filmed in transition.
If you rent it by the day, of course, it is good, but you can't pick and choose the right one, only this one house meets the requirements, the landlord's requirement is at least one month, and there is no way to rent it for one month.
The second half of the month is used to put some equipment, after all, the money is spent, and you have to make full use of it.
Inviting Liu Ye to make a cameo was planned by Zhou Bai, not only Zhou Bai, but also various cameos later, including another netizen played by Mao Weiwei played by Zhou Gongzi, some other people at the New Year's party, as well as couples kissing on the street, and the male protagonist's mother, all of which have cameos.
Of course, you can find someone else to invite some supporting roles, the problem is not to mention the money, the acting skills are not up to par, anyway, filming in the capital, Zhou Bai is much easier to find someone to make a cameo than to find another role, isn't it better to deepen everyone's connection.
Zhou Bai, who played the role of a mother, invited the head teacher Chang Li, another hard-pressed netizen Zhou Bai who Mao Weiwei had an appointment with, invited Hao Rong, and the passerby who Li Mingyuan thought was Mao Weiwei in the café invited Mei Ting to make a cameo, as for the couple kissing shot, there are many couples in Class 96, which is just in line, no need to be in vain.
In the future, when some fans turn out this film, they will find that the lineup of this movie is so strong, maybe it has become a legend, and I am a little excited to think about it.
