In the alleys of the upper and lower north districts of Shanghai, two slightly embarrassed figures supported each other and trotted all the way.

From the clothing, it can be seen that both of them are from extraordinary backgrounds, and any shirt or pair of shoes can only be seen in the luxury area of Shanghai's Third Avenue.

If it weren't for the two of them with melancholy faces and two gangsters with sticks behind them, passers-by would have thought they were shooting a fashion blockbuster.

The woman in the eight-centimeter heel ran very slowly, and after a while, she was overtaken by the people behind her.

The thug went down with a stick and slammed it on the arm of the man next to the woman to protect him, making a muffled sound.

Just when the gangsters wanted to continue the violence, a tall figure fell from the sky and beat the two gangsters on their stomachs.

"Click!" the sound of a horn was heard in the distance, probably echoing through the alley due to the distance.

"The first half is okay, starting with Hawke's appearance. The assistant director said with a small speaker.

The crew has been working together for a long time, and after hearing the order from the director's side, they each performed their duties to clean up the venue.

A small assistant ran over quickly and helped Yang Xiao, who was sitting on the ground, up.

"Is it okay, Brother Xiao?" asked Hawke, who was standing on the side, looking at the bandage wrapped around Yang Xiao's right arm.

Xu was shooting all the way to the ground, Yang Xiao first asked the assistant to help wipe the sweat, and then said: "It's out of the way." ”

Tang Shiying on the other side hurried to find a small stool to sit on, Hawk really admired her for running so long in high heels.

After confirming that it was okay, Hawke walked over to the two "gangsters" just now, one of whom was rubbing his stomach with his hands.

"Are you okay, Brother Dong?" Hawke said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't have enough experience in filming, and I haven't mastered my strength yet." ”

Brother Dong, who was silent on the side, heard Hawke's question, and hurriedly waved his hand and said it was okay.

Just kidding, he finally got such a trick with a line, if the crew dislikes him and can't stand the toss and changes him, where will he cry?

Hawke didn't know what the other party thought, and he felt that it was appropriate to give these little characters more kindness.

Especially when filming action scenes, in case the tricks are in a bad mood, it is themselves who suffer.

Today's director of filming is Director Liu, the one who came to the crew for the first time.

Huaxia's TV drama screenwriter is the biggest boss, and the director is not so important.

Take "Star Girl" as an example, Hawke met four directors when he was filming.

When the crew of "French Open Recovery" next door filmed the fourth season, the leading actors became curious, and it was no problem to be a temporary director to shoot one or two episodes.

Anyway, everyone follows the script, and the TV series has two episodes a week and is relatively independent, and the different shooting styles can also make the audience feel fresh.

This is the biggest difference between a TV series and a movie.

Director Liu had a good meal during this time, and it was estimated that he had more than 200 catties, but he naturally had a serious face.

"Do you want a stand-in to do that flip that you jumped off the wall?" asked Director Liu as soon as he walked up to Hawke.

The crew already had Yang Xiao, an injured person, some time ago, and it would be really unlucky if Hawke, a firefighter, was injured again.

The only disadvantage of doing it as a stand-in is that it can only shoot the back, which is not very effective.

After reconfirming the height of the wall and the width of the alley, Hawke felt that there was no problem in terms of safety, and politely declined Director Liu.

After talking to the martial arts instructor for a while, Hawke started filming again.

In order to give Yang Xiao an arm injury a reason, Liu Congyun wrote in the script that the characters played by Tang Shiying and Yang Xiao quarreled and contradicted each other, and then drove all the way to get lost in the Lower North District.

The two undisguised rich second generations naturally attracted the attention of the gangsters, so they were chased all the way, and Yang Xiao was injured in order to protect Tang Shiying.

At the critical moment, Hawke's character happened to pass by, running away and gangsters, so as to get acquainted with the two.

The routine is old, but it has been tried and tested.

Without any accidents, the set of shots of Hawke and Tang Shiying was successfully completed.

......

After the filming of the morning scene was completed, the crew entered a short break.

It was very cold in Shanghai at the end of October, and the location chosen for filming today was again an open-air scene, with several actors sitting in a cramped van eating.

"Do you know the lines by heart? Tang Shiying asked while eating braised lion's head.

Hawke took the lunch box handed by the assistant and nodded.

The action scene in the morning was extremely energy-consuming, and now his teeth were chattering when he spoke, so he simply saved his strength.

"Xiao Ke has filmed so many scenes and acted in movies, so his lines must be fine. Yang Xiao, who was drinking medicine, said.

"You don't know how long our afternoon script is. Tang Shiying immediately retorted, "A lot of paragraphs, and I have to perform an inner monologue." ”

Tang Shiying continued: "After acting in a love scene for so long, this time Mr. Liu suddenly asked us to play friendship, I was a little afraid that there would be problems with my expression management, I never thought that I would play a love scene in "Star Girl". ”

Does this count as an official complaint?

"It's just one scene in the afternoon, it's really not good, let's shoot a few more times to find a feeling. Hawke said.

Due to the rush of joining the group, no matter how powerful Liu Congyun is, the temporarily revised script will inevitably be flawed.

It's like a play in the afternoon.

Xu Shitai wanted to integrate the role of Huo Tingsheng, and the whole six pages were the dialogue between Huo Ke and Tang Shiying, from poetry and poetry to life philosophy.

"You need to deduce the mental activity of the characters. Screenwriter Liu Da explained to them at the time, "The man will tell the woman that he has a favorite girl in his heart and then tell their story, and the woman is extremely curious about it, but she regrets it for him after knowing that the man was rejected by the girl he likes." ”

"When the woman learns that the man is frustrated, she encourages him to pursue love, and you want the audience to experience a unique and pure friendship that sprouts in it. ”

Hawke feels that Liu Da's screenwriting ideals are very plump, but this seems unrealistic.

This is not an impact on the Magnolia Art Film Awards, Hawke and Tang Shiying are just youth idol TV series, where does the audience have the energy to analyze their expressions frame by frame?

In the afternoon, Liu Congyun personally came to the scene to guide.

As Hawke expected, he and Tang Shiying have filmed six times, but still can't find the feeling.

"Acting is one aspect. Director Liu looked at the shooting picture and discussed with Liu Congyun, "But even if the acting skills explode, it doesn't feel right to shoot like this, and the overall rhythm is too slow." ”

The TV series must have a small climax in eight minutes, otherwise it will not be able to attract the audience's attention.

"Can you add some other elements to enrich the plot?" Tang Shiying suggested, "For example, two people go to the movies together, go on a sea voyage or something like that?"

Halfway through the sentence, the girl denied her idea - two people are not playing a couple, so they can't act like this.

However, Tang Shiying's proposal gave Hawke some inspiration, and he thought of a solution.

"Since Ting Fok has a specialty in music, can you let me sing a song?" Hawk asked, "I happen to have one that fits the scene quite well, and it's one of the songs I submitted to the company as an autumn single, and it's already recorded and ready for immediate use." ”

After obtaining the consent of the sound emperor record through the assistant, several main creators of the crew got together to listen to this tune.

"I think so. Tang Shiying was the first to agree, "It's much better than pure dialogue." ”

Director Liu also nodded.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Congyun finally agreed to Hawke's changes.

"Give me half a day to revise the script and start filming tomorrow. ”

At the same time, she secretly said in her heart, whether she can pull the ratings back, success or failure is here.
