Chapter 91: It is recommended to add drama
In terms of acting skills, Li Wenxing is of course no more than Wu Weiguo, who is already a popular student.
Maybe the former predecessor can, but relying only on Li Wenxing himself, he will feel very difficult when facing Wu Weiguo who has entered the state.
It's really extraordinary, and it's really what it's like to act.
Watching Wu Weiguo disappear into the backyard arch, Li Wenxing recalled the acting confrontation just now.
Hey...... Don't think about it, lest you have a psychological shadow.
"Ah Xing, Jenny, then you guys play here first, and Sister Ah will go to film first. ”
The directors all came to call people, and Wang Mingying was also very dedicated to filming, of course, he would not delay any longer.
"Well, go ahead, filming is important. ”
Li Wenxing nodded, put his arm on Xiao Nizi's shoulder, and said goodbye to Wang Mingjin.
When Xiao Nizi was present, except for Mei Yuzhen, Li Wenxing would never show any closeness to other women.
No matter what, Xiao Nizi always calls herself Abba. Even if he is not her biological father, since he has already walked with her mother, he should give her wholehearted fatherly love.
Based on this thought in his heart, Li Wenxing was also much more indifferent to the next meeting with Zhao Yazhi. When the special shuttle bus of the wireless station sent the trainees of the training class over, Li Wenxing took the three little girls to the location of the "Seven-Faced Man" movie crew.
If you want to say that Li Wenxing still has a little connection on the wireless station, when he comes to the film crew of Shaw Brothers, he is purely a newcomer, and the people here don't know who he is at all.
Although Shaw Brothers and TVB share the same set, they still belong to two different companies. Unless instructed from above, the staff of both companies occasionally cooperate in filming, and other times the two companies operate independently.
After all, at this time, the wireless station was still in the period when Li Xiaohe was in charge, even if it was as strong as Shao Yifu, it could only be regarded as the level of this deputy.
Only two or three years later, after Li Xiaohe's physical condition deteriorated sharply and died, would the wireless station gradually transition into the era when Shao Yifu was in power.
If you don't have acquaintances, you don't have acquaintances, and Li Wenxing doesn't plan to play tricks when he comes to the set today, but simply takes Xiao Nizi and Zhong Chuhong to play.
When Li Wenxing and the four of them came to the filming location of the crew of "The Man with Seven Faces", the crew happened to be filming a set of action confrontation shots. In order to avoid interfering with the crew's filming, Li Wenxing took the three little girls to watch behind the director's monitor.
And the crew of the crew, although they saw a few strangers coming over, but when they saw that the three little girls were wearing costumes, they didn't scold, and thought they were actors specially found by the director.
It's really a coincidence, the movie "The Man with Seven Faces" just tells a story that happened during the Republic of China. Now the three little girls are wearing school uniforms from the Republic of China, and if they really mess in, they won't look abrupt.
"Baby Jiani, do you want to go up and film?"
Li Wenxing carefully looked at the shooting scene for a while, carefully recalled the content of the finished film he had seen in his previous life, and after a little consideration, he asked Xiao Nizi who was leaning on him.
"Abba, can I also go over filming?"
Guan Jiani also acted in dramas in school before, otherwise she would not have the kind of costume at home when Li Wenxing first met her.
Most children, in fact, will have a star dream to a greater or lesser extent. Especially when I have seen children in TV and movies, they are either naughty and cute, or stupid and cute, and envy and worship will naturally arise in their hearts.
"Ah Hong, do you want to go up and try it?"
Li Wenxing touched Xiao Nizi's head, and turned to Zhong Chuhong, who was standing beside him.
is also wearing a girls' school uniform during the Republic of China, but Zhong Chuhong is a little taller, with slightly dark skin, and a very young and resolute face, she looks like a wild girl.
If you really want to describe it, Zhong Chuhong is the kind of girl who usually likes to play with boys, but will stand up to protect weak classmates when it is critical.
"Our Ah Hong is also very beautiful now. ”
"I, I can also... Is that okay?"
In the same way, why doesn't Zhong Chuhong want to go up and try it himself? This is making a movie.
It's just that Zhong Chuhong is not sure if he can shoot well, and it doesn't look very easy.
"I'm going to try to negotiate, but I'm not sure if it will work out. ”
There is no absolute certainty in itself, and Li Wenxing does not dare to take care of it in front of the two.
In case the negotiation fails, not only will you lose face, but you will also be disappointed by the expectations of the two little girls.
patting Zhong Chuhong on the shoulder, Li Wenxing pulled Xiao Nizi away and handed it to her, and while the props master of the crew was busy changing the scene, he came to Bao Xueli, the director of the crew of "The Man with Seven Faces".
"Director Bao, hello, I have something I want to tell you. ”
Bao Xueli is also a talented film director, and his directing skills are definitely not weak. When he first came to Shaw Brothers, he also served as the royal photographer of Yue Feng, Luo Qin, and Zhang Che.
Because they are both film and television drama practitioners, Li Wenxing puts his identity very low in the face of such peers. This is not only out of recognition and respect for the predecessors, but also the rules that all practitioners in the film and television industry must abide by and self-sustain.
"Oh, you say. ”
Bao Xueli was looking at the footage taken on the monitor, and the shooting just now was going very smoothly. When you're in a good mood, you don't mind if someone comes over to disturb you.
"Director Bao, that's right. The kid is the last student of the wireless station training class, and he used to be mixed in major film and television crews, and he also has a certain understanding and experience of various drama stories......"
As Li Wenxing spoke, his mind was running sharply, weighing and organizing the following rhetoric.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything disrespectful. At my level, I can't stand the table at all...... It's just that I just observed a little bit of the cast structure of the crew, and it seems that there are very few female characters in this movie?"
"I think that if a movie wants to be a hit, it must have its unique selling point. It can be seen that the biggest selling point of this movie should be the strange man played by Mr. Jiang. Since he is a strange person, he is still a chivalrous and righteous person, and he is a strange person in the world, then ......"
"Then why is there less such a scene as heroes saving beauty? Everyone likes heroes, but heroes also like beauties. Take the plot of the street fight just now, if you can add a paragraph to it...... For example, there were a few female students who happened to pass by......"
At this point, Li Wenxing took a step to the left, stepped aside, and pointed to the three little girls standing on the side.
"The chivalrous warrior and the villain were fighting on the street, and a few female students just happened to enter the scene. Suddenly encountering danger, of course, the girl is panicking. At the critical moment, our heroes stepped forward and heroes saved the United States...... After that, of course, it was the prodigal son's feelings, missing each other and forgetting each other. ”
"Director Bao, they are all dressed in costumes, as long as you agree, you can shoot this part immediately. Three beautiful girls, pure as water, beautiful as flowers. There is such a five-minute scene, and all the other side details are topped. How?"
Speaking of which, Li Wenxing's eloquence is definitely not bad. In just a few paragraphs, there is both an introduction and a hook. Obviously, he came to ask for a role, but now after he said this, he took the initiative to help.
According to the normal process of filming by mature film crews in later generations, before the filming of the movie, the script has already been fixed, and it is impossible to temporarily add or subtract scenes on the spot, which will be a big change.
Not to mention anything else, if you want to add a scene on the spot, you will first involve the makeup of a new role. As for the delicate filming techniques and requirements of later generations, a makeup was put on for several hours. When you're done putting on your makeup, it's getting dark, okay?
Not to mention that there are other details, such as costumes, props, lines, plot design, etc. Even if you want to add a new character temporarily, you have to sign a labor contract first. It was completely a change in the work plan of the entire team from the design to the crew from top to bottom.
However, there is no such problem at the moment.
This one, with the current filmmaking techniques, is very rough. Because of the pixels of the shooting equipment, there is no need for particularly delicate makeup and scenery, just look at the past.
Second, with the current filming process and techniques of film and television crews, it is completely commonplace to change scenes and add scenes on the spot, and they abound. No matter where the scene is filmed, all you need is the film producer or director to pat the head and change the scene, and everyone has to revolve around them in an instant.
That's right, it's that simple and crude. Makeup: Just put on some foundation, just put on clothes, and you're done. For the lines, the crew has an assistant choreographer who follows, all of them are serious old fritter pens, and they can give you dozens of suitable lines at will.
The most important thing is that when it comes to the appointment of actors in the crew, as long as they are not the leading actors in the crew, other roles, producers or directors can be designated at will. Even in a hurry, they themselves changed into costumes and went up, and there was no arbitrary system problem like in later generations.
Taking the filming of the "Seven-Faced Man" movie crew in front of him as an example, as long as Bao Xueli nods now, it doesn't take ten minutes for the scene proposed by Li Wenxing to officially start filming. And if it is placed in the future generation, after multi-party coordination, I don't know how much time has been wasted.
The above, to sum up, the film and television dramas of this era are far less rigorous and dogmatic than those of later generations. Instead, you can adjust the scene at will with the on-the-spot performance of the director, producer and others.
Perhaps, the reason why film and television workers in this era can still shoot many classic film and television dramas when all kinds of shooting conditions are so poor is likely to be due to the above factors.
At this time, Li Wenxing had already put forward his own opinions euphemistically, and only waited for Bao Xueli's reply of agreement or rejection.
