Chapter 35: The First Scene

Mu Ming often complained to her friends in her previous life, and some dramas don't need to be studied deeply, and she knows that they are terrible at first glance. But the actors still have to talk nonsense with their eyes open, and work hard to find a few positive words to praise them.

The same applies to the evaluation of the acting skills of certain actors.

But then Mu Ming figured it out, in fact, this is the same as going to school. You skip class for a whole semester, don't study seriously, make trouble in class, get called parents, and have to take two make-up exams to see the past. But at the end of the semester, the head teacher will still write in the file: "The student is lively and cheerful, helpful, excellent in character and learning, and a good student with comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and beauty." ”

Of course, "The Age of Naked Marriage" is indeed a very good TV series, so the leading actors are not so disobedient to praise it.

After the group media interview, the press conference was almost over. The reporters in the audience interviewed a certain leading actor individually, and then went backstage to receive the carriage and horse fare, and then went back to work overtime to catch up with the manuscript.

Mu Ming didn't expect that there were three or four reporters around her. is like the uncle of Xinlang Weibo Entertainment before, as well as Teng Xun and Wangyi. Although Mu Ming can only be regarded as a little famous, it is somewhat newsy when put together with the start-up of "The Age of Naked Marriage".

"Mu Ming, you said before that you participated in the crew to study, are you going to adapt your novel for film and television?"

But now is not the stage for the press conference, and Mu Ming has no taboos. So he said directly: "That's right, there is indeed such a plan." ”

"As I've said before, both words and images are a way to tell a story. Words have their own charm, but they are also inferior to images. I wish I could tell stories in a better way, which is why I will participate in filming. ”

"That is, you plan to shoot your own work in the future?"

"Yes. Because if you give it to someone else, you will inevitably get the marks of another person. Maybe what comes out in the end is not what I want to express. However, I'm just starting to learn, so even if I have this kind of planning, it will be a long time later. ”

"Mu Ming, hello. One of your "Soul Ferry" has already sold more than 1.7 million copies, and the impact has been huge. Many readers want to see the rest of the story as soon as possible. I don't know what your plans for the second part of the work are?" The reporter who asked the question was Teng Xun's reporter, and it is estimated that he took advantage of his free time just now to learn about Mu Ming's information.

"The second part?" Mu Ming smiled a little weakly when she heard the question: ""Soul Ferry" is a chapter story, so the quality and quantity requirements for both the story and the quantity are relatively high. Well, I already have plans for my next book, but it's not the second part of Soul Ferry, it's a new one. ”

"New book?" the surrounding reporters looked confused. This year, after a work becomes popular, even if it is scheduled to end, a sequel will be forcibly released. And "Soul Ferry" was originally a series of works, why didn't this one write it.

"Can you give us a general introduction about the content of the new book?" asked the reporters around him.

"For the time being, I can only say that this will still be a suspenseful work, and the era of the story takes place in the Republic of China. Mu Ming smiled and said, "As for the specific content, I will tell you on Weibo." ”

--------------------

At the end of the press conference, the media reporters were busy taking a stand, and the members of the crew were not at all relaxed. The field staff were busy cleaning up the scene, and at the same time, several departments of Fuhuadao also quickly began to prepare, because the first scene of the official filming will start in a while.

In the past, the completion of the boot ceremony meant that the boot shooting was about to begin. However, in recent years, some crews will hold a separate start-up ceremony a few days before the official start-up, purely for publicity. However, director Teng Huatao was obviously not prepared to be so troublesome, and after the start-up press conference in the morning, filming started directly in the afternoon.

"That's a good thing I said on stage. Cao Yu said to Mu Ming: "I didn't expect your popularity to be quite high." "Today's shooting is only open one group, there is the main director on the scene, and the director Lin Yan is in charge of scheduling, but he, the assistant director, is not so busy. I just happened to see Mu Ming, so I chatted with him.

Mu Ming pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't say anything, but asked curiously: "By the way, Director Cao, which shot should we shoot today." ”

"I didn't send you a notebook. Cao Yu frowned and asked. Seeing Mu Ming shaking her head, she found her own field notebook over and over again, and said over and over again: "Okay, I'll go back and I'll send you one more field notebook." ”

"Shoot today...... I'll take a look. Today, I photographed Tong Jiaqian and Liu Yiyang going home and telling their parents that they were pregnant. Cao Yang flipped through the scene notebook and replied.

"Come up and shoot a group scene. Mu Ming was a little surprised. This scene is the plot of the first part of the whole play, the male and female protagonists go to the homes of their parents on both sides, and basically half of the leading actors in the whole play will appear.

For the shots of the first scene of the start-up, the choices of different directors are also different. Some directors like to shoot simple shots first, use simple shots to run in the crew, and at the same time allow the actors to gradually enter the role. Generally speaking, most TV directors like to do this.

There are also some directors who like to start with particularly difficult shots first, in order to "grind" the actors. Some directors will tell the actors in advance to get ready before filming starts, and it will take at least ten days to shoot.

Of course, there are also those who want Teng Huatao to shoot group scenes first. Because usually when the press conference is launched, all the actors will be present. just took advantage of this opportunity to shoot a group scene first, firstly, to let everyone find a state, and secondly, to make reasonable use of the actors' schedules.

Well, there's another kind of director, independent of these three conventions, and this kind of director is called Wong Kar-wai.

"Here, the props and sets are ready, and the departments on site have begun to prepare. Lin Yan walked over with a thick scene notebook and said loudly to the crew.

The first scene is that Liu Yiyang, as the hero and heroine, returned to Tong's house with Tong Jiaqian, and announced her pregnancy with Tong Jiaqian's parents. But Tong Jiaqian's parents just invited their friends and their friend's son to come to the door today, ready to introduce Tong Jiaqian to a blind date. Two groups of people entered the door with their front and back feet and just collided together.

At this time, the six actors, including Wen Zhang and Yao Di, had already drawn their costumes and were ready for each of them in their booths.

"Sound on!"

"The camera is on!"

"The Age of Naked Marriage", the first scene, the first shot, the first time. ”

“Action!”

Along with the director's opening instructions, several actors also quickly entered the plot.

"Jingle bell! Jingle bell!" The doorbell rang, and Mother Tong and Father Tong were busy in the kitchen, when they heard the sound, Mother Tong hurriedly ran to the door with a face full of joy. opened the door, and it was Tong Jiaqian's childhood sweetheart Du Yi and Du's mother who came in.

The four of them were gathering at the door to greet each other, and the doorbell rang again. Tong's mother smiled and said that Tong Jiaqian was back. As soon as he opened the door, it was his daughter. However, the joy on Mother Tong's face only lasted for a moment before dissipating. Because behind his daughter, there is also Liu Yiyang, who is not optimistic about himself.

Mother Tong said with a forced smile on her face: "Ah, Xiao Liu." That, Xiao Liu, you're here too. ”

"Hello, Auntie. Liu Yiyang held the gift in his arms and greeted with a low brow.

“Cut!”

The director sitting behind the monitor suddenly stopped everyone, stood up and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Wenzhang, when you saw Tong Jiaqian's mother just now, your expression was too hard. You are here to discuss marriage with them, and Tong Jiaqian is pregnant at this time, you should have a feeling of weakness. ”

Wen Zhang, who was pointed out to be inadequate, thought for a few seconds when he heard this, and then stretched out his hand to signal that he was clear. The rest of the people returned to the original position, and Teng Huatao also sat back on the monitor and began to prepare for the second one.

"The Age of Naked Marriage", the first scene, the first shot, the second time. ”

“Action!”

"Come, come, come in......"

"Cut! The hallway is a little dark. light, add a light on it. ”

"The Age of Naked Marriage", the first scene, the first shot, the third time. ”

“Action!”

“Cut!”

“……”

“Action!”

“Cut!”

“……”

Because it was the first day of filming, all aspects of the entire crew were running in, and there were many problems. However, with the "cut" again and again, the state of everyone is also adjusting rapidly.

Finally, after Teng Huatao shouted "cut" for the sixth time, he did not speak. After waiting for the photography and radio to show that there was no problem, he said, "Okay, the first one is over." ”

"Papapa......" The drummers at the scene couldn't help but celebrate. But soon, Teng Huatao said again: "Twenty minutes to adjust, start the second one." Everyone immediately stopped resting and began a new round of busyness.

Mu Ming also sorted it out with everyone, but a short shooting scene just now echoed in his heart repeatedly.

"It's like being a director is really a fun job. ”
