Chapter 65: The First Shooting
At 7:50 p.m., Lin Yang put on a slightly formal outfit and went out to the Blue Sky Hotel that Jia Zhangke said.
"Not bad!" Lin Yang casually praised, pushed open the door of the store, and asked the waiter, just as the waiter led him to the door of a box, the waiter took the lead and knocked on the door lightly twice, and after hearing the response inside, he opened the door for Lin Yang!
When Lin Yang stepped into the box, he saw a group of people looking at him, and said with a little embarrassment on his face: "I'm sorry, am I a little late?"
"It's not too late, it's not too late, it's just the right time. When Jia Zhangke saw Lin Yang coming, he immediately stood up and beckoned, and enthusiastically introduced to the people around him: "This is the Lin Yang I just told you about, and he is also the starring actor of our movie!"
After listening to Jia Zhangke's introduction, Lin Yang also smiled and bowed, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Lin Yang, I hope you will take care of me in the future." ”
Everyone nodded slightly in response, and then Jia Zhangke began to help Lin Yang introduce, "This is Mr. Li Jieming, the representative of the Hong Kong Island management, this is Mr. Yu Liwei, the photographer who is the crew, this is the assistant director Mr. Gu Fang, this is Wang Hongwei, who plays Xiao Wu in the play, and this is Zuo Wenlu, who plays Mei Mei in the play....."
Every time he introduced someone, Lin Yang shook hands with him and said hello, but when he introduced Wang Hongwei, the other party responded a little coldly, and after pondering Lin Yang slightly, he understood what was going on, the role of Xiao Wu in the previous life should have been played by him, but in this life, because of his arrival, he robbed this role, and it is estimated that the other party is not so uncomfortable.
After a while, Jia Zhangke introduced everyone, and Lin Yang immediately sat down in an empty seat next to Jia Zhangke, and heard Jia Zhangke say again: "I invite everyone to come today, mainly so that the brothers and sisters who will work together for a period of time in the future can meet and be familiar with each other." ”
"Finally, I'll talk about the specifics of when we made this film. During this period, when Jia Zhangke said this, he said that it would take about half an hour to make everyone want to take a brick and shoot this thing to death, and Lin Yang also had a question in his heart, do people who hold power like to nag?
........
Early the next morning, Lin Yang followed the crew to the filming location in a car, Lin Yang thought that Jia Zhangke would be like other movies and television, there would be a start-up ceremony for sacrificing three animals or something, but it turned out that Lin Yang thought too much, these things didn't have them, but Jia Zhangke shouted and turned on the camera and went directly to the filming stage.
And before starting filming, Lin Yang still had a confused look, other movies are directors and actors, how I expected this role to be, and then what method do you use to express it to me, which is also a normal state of filming, commonly known as talking about drama. But Jia Zhangke didn't, he directly told Lin Yang to act casually, as long as you don't act too badly.
Of course, Jia Zhangke's kind of is related to his shooting concept, when he shoots, this drama will use a lot of long shots, the use of depth of field, follow-up techniques, the use of scenes, and the characteristics of light and color. In the end, most of the things that come out are shown in a macro state, and the actors can't show much decisive role in the shot.
It is more about reflecting the director's concept and some ideas when filming, so when Jia Zhangke was selecting actors, he didn't pay too much attention to the acting skills of the actors, otherwise he wouldn't find Lin Yang's head when he looked for actors, but directly found the seniors with better acting skills in the junior and senior years.
When filming, another director relies heavily on the performance of the actors, and will use close-up close-ups and other shots to depict the characters, so the acting skills of the actors seriously affect the performance of a drama.
Although he was still in a state of confusion before filming, with Jia Zhangke's sentence of 'start' (because he was poor, there was no drama), Lin Yang quickly began to enter the state and began to perform.
Lin Yang quickly entered the performance state, so that there were still people who paid close attention to him in front of the camera, and nodded secretly, although the acting skills of the actors in this drama did not play a decisive role, but there is no doubt that an actor with good acting skills is more loved by some people.
Of course, Lin Yang didn't know that the surroundings appreciated him for entering the state quickly, but seriously performed his first play after his rebirth. Because it was the first day of shooting, today's shooting content was relatively simple.
Lin Yang was wearing the oversized clothes that Jia Zhangke didn't know where to get him, first took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, held it in his mouth, and then pulled it tightly with his left and right hands to wrap the placket tightly, pressed it with one arm, and the other took the cigarette in his hand and began to swallow the clouds and spit out smoke.
With a cigarette in his mouth, he began to pace from side to side, looking up from time to time to look up at the traffic around him.
This shot, which was broadcast for less than 20 seconds, was originally expected to be finished in Lin Yang, but after waiting for more than three or four minutes, the director did not shout the card, so he could only continue to act, making Lin Yang feel a little bored looking around, and then he made a nasal 'hum', turned his head to look around, but he didn't expect this 'hum' to hear Jia Zhangke shouting: "Okay, pass! ”
Listening to Jia Zhangke's words, it seemed that he had grasped something, but it flashed away, as if it was just his illusion!
A bus came after a while, and the crew first waved their hands to stop, and then Jia Zhangke stepped forward to say a few words to someone, and began to discuss with the bus driver, and after a while, Jia Zhangke rented the bus for half an hour for 100 yuan. The bus reversed.
Lin Yang felt a little incredible when he saw this scene, it turned out that he could still play like this when making movies.
Seeing the bus reversing back, Jia Zhangke sat on his director's chair and looked at Yan Shi and said, "Ready, start!"
After less than a minute, the bus came back again, and because of the explanation, Lin Yang saw the bus from a distance and stretched out a hand, his fingers were bent.
The bus stopped steadily in front of Lin Yang, and a head sticking out of the window said in Fenyang dialect: "Where are you going!"
"In the city!" Lin Yang also said in Fenyang. Of course, Jia Zhangke told this point before, try to use Fenyang dialect when filming, and the few days when Lin Yang was forgotten by Jia Zhangke was the time for Lin Yang to learn Fenyang dialect.
Seeing that Lin Yang spoke fluent Fenyang dialect, Jia Zhangke smiled in front of the camera, originally thought that it would be good for Lin Yang to have a little Fenyang accent in a few days, but he didn't expect Lin Yang to speak directly with a Fenyang accent. It is estimated that even if an authentic Fenyang person talks to Lin Yang, he will not think that he is just a rookie who has only learned Fenyang dialect for a few days!
