Chapter 316 of the main text: Acting is a playhouse

Next chapter

Zhang Ran stood in front of the window and made a gesture to Zhang Jingchu, indicating that the progress was very smooth, and the following continued. Immediately, he turned his head to Zheng Xiaoshuang and said, "Xiaoshuang, let's do it again!"

Zheng Xiaoshuang said "En", and when Zhang Ran returned to her seat, she picked up a plane and threw it hard. Zheng Xiaoshuang turned his head and shouted at Zhang Ran: "Qiao Zhengfei, come and see, come and see, they are robbing the plane you made!"

After Zheng Xiaoshuang finished flying the five paper airplanes, Zhang Ran stood up, picked up the clapper board resting on the ground and walked towards the camera.

At the beginning, when Zhang Ran took Zheng Xiaoshuang to play, Zhao Fei didn't shoot, just watched the excitement on the side. After Zheng Xiaoshuang entered the situation, Zhao Fei turned on the camera and secretly filmed. Zheng Xiaoshuang completely entered the state under Zhang Ran's guidance and did not notice it.

While Zhao Fei was shooting, there were also photographers downstairs secretly taking shots of Zheng Xiaoshuang standing at the window flying planes, as well as shots of children grabbing planes.

This time, "The Aviator" is still shot in high-definition digital, and the digital camera can shoot for a long time at a time, and there is no worry about wasting film. If the film is shot like this, it will be a bit of a burn of money.

Zheng Xiaoshuang's problem is actually encountered by many rookie actors, when facing the camera, they will be nervous and think a lot, so the performance will be stiff and unnatural. The best way is for them to forget that they are performing, and forget about the storage of the camera. Of course, this will lead to another problem, the actor may turn his back on the stage, his eyes fly around, and he will move incorrectly. However, Zhang Ran fully believes in Zhao Fei's ability and believes that he can catch the actor's performance.

At this moment, although Zhang Ran didn't see how the picture turned out, he was still very satisfied with Zheng Xiaoshuang's performance.

Zhang Ran walked up to the camera, turned the slate upside down, pointed it at the camera's lens, and shouted, "First scene, fifth shot, fourth time!" After speaking, he closed it hard, and the slate made a crisp "click" sound.

Under normal circumstances, after the director shouts the command to "hit the board", the scene reporter puts the scene board in front of the camera, reports a few scenes and a few shots, and then knocks the wood chips above the board down, and "clicks" together. This "click" is very important, because the sound and picture of the movie are different, and when editing, the sound of "click" will correspond to the action of closing the board, so that the sound and the picture can be synchronized.

However, some movie shots are very dangerous, such as explosions, or it is inconvenient to play the slate board, or the incident is sudden, and there is no time to play the slate board, so the process of making up the slate will be completed after filming.

After Zhang Ran hit the board, after another two or three seconds, Zhao Fei turned off the camera and gave Zhang Ran a thumbs up.

In the next room, Ning Hao behind the monitor saw Zhang Ran hit the tail board, and several of them breathed a long sigh of relief, and then looked at each other and smiled, this shot was finally taken.

Only Zheng Xiaoshuang looked at Zhang Ran with an ignorant face, what was he doing, why didn't he play with me?

Zhang Ran saw Zheng Xiaoshuang looking at him blankly, walked over and touched her head: "The acting is great!" and shouted at Zhang Jingchu downstairs: "Jingchu, it's okay!"

Zhang Jingchu made an OK gesture to Zhang Ran, clapped her hands and said, "Children, hurry up and line up, my sister has a little red flower." Whoever stands well, my sister will send a little red flower!"

Zhang Ran walked to the door, called Qin Junjie over, squatted down and ordered: "Junjie, you take Xiao Shuang to play for a while!" Zhang Ran felt that Qin Junjie seemed to be a little unhappy, this kid was too dragged, let him take the little beauty to play, he was still not happy, so he said: "Junjie, this is the task given to you by the director, you must complete it seriously!"

Qin Junjie let out an "oh", walked up to Zheng Xiaoshuang and said, "Let's play together!"

Zhang Ran said hello to Zhao Fei and came to the digital workstation next door to check the shooting just now.

After watching the picture of the movie twice and confirming that there was no problem with the sound, Zhang Ran said: "The effect of flying a plane for the first time is the most natural, Zheng Xiaoshuang is really surprised, and he smiled very brightly." What do you think?"

"I also think the first time is the best. At first, you fly paper airplanes with her, and the children below are playing with themselves and have no interest in paper airplanes. Suddenly, Zheng Xiaoshuang saw the children grabbing paper airplanes and grabbing a ball, she felt very surprised, and the whole state was completely from the heart. But the further you go, the less this surprise will be, and the worse the effect will be. Ning Hao nodded, and said with some emotion, "To be honest, I thought it might be better to choose Guo Xiaoting at first, that kid is obviously more lively than Zheng Xiaoshuang." Seeing this shot now, I really have nothing to say, this kid's smile is so bright!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "I don't look at the actor from an ordinary perspective many times, but from the perspective of the camera, to see if she is good at filming and whether she has a sense of camera." Zheng Xiaoshuang's child is indeed not as lively as Guo Xiaoting, but when she dances, that state is particularly real and vivid, I believe that there is a lively side to her character, which can be discovered. ”

Huang Lei has not participated in the casting and is not clear about the specific situation, but he has filmed children and knows that children's scenes are difficult to film: "Among domestic directors, you may be the only one who can guide children to film like this!"

Zhang Ran smiled and waved his hand: "This is too exaggerated, Zhang Yimou's "Can't Anyone Can't" is all children, much more powerful than me!"

Ning Hao didn't think it was an exaggeration, he had filmed several scenes with Zhang Ran and had seen Zhang Ran's guiding role in actors. Zhang Ran has not only coached young actors like Yang Zi, but also new actors like Jay Chou, these people have played particularly well under Zhang Ran's guidance, especially the role of Jay Chou's Chen Wei, which has been highly praised. If it weren't for the fact that "Burst Drummer" was forced to withdraw from the Golden Horse Awards, he would definitely have won the Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Horse Awards. Zhang Ran's ability to guide actors is really too strong.

Although Ding Sheng only followed Zhang Ran to shoot "Time and Space Warrior", he saw Zhang Ran's guidance to Keanu Reeves, he kept thinking that Zhang Ran should have studied psychology, and he had a good grasp of the actor's psychology, he was able to prepare to find the actor's problems, and then guide them in a targeted manner, so that the actor could complete the understanding and transformation of his acting skills.

Huang Lei was telling the truth, Zhang Ran gave guidance to the little actor, which made him amazed, it turned out that it could be like this. For Zhang Ran, he is really a capital service word!

Next, Zhang Ran and Ning Hao discussed other shots that could be used, and then instructed the editor to cut out a few shots and cut them together with the morning shots.

After the editing was completed, everyone was very satisfied with the presentation and was full of praise.

However, Ding Sheng raised his concerns: "Director, you can't shoot every scene like this, right?

Zhang Ran shook his head: "That's not necessary, Zheng Xiaoshuang's child mainly has psychological baggage, and this scene should be able to remove her psychological baggage." But the child had another problem, a lack of security. When shooting in the future, try to keep the camera rack a little farther away. The boot password is thrown away, and the tail board is played to make the whole atmosphere as relaxed as possible. We can't make her feel like we're filming, we have to make her feel like we're playing!"

Ding Sheng sighed: "If you let me come, I will definitely be blind, anyway, I will try to avoid children's play in the future!"

Zhang Ran smiled, turned his head to the scene, and said, "Please go next door and call Zheng Xiaoshuang over!"

Soon, Zheng Xiaoshuang ran over in a hurry.

Zhang Ran smiled and said to Zheng Xiaoshuang: "Xiaoshuang, your performance just now was very exciting. ”

Zheng Xiaoshuang's head was a little confused, and he looked at Zhang Ran and said puzzledly: "But I didn't act?"

Everyone laughed when they saw her expression. Zhang Ran beckoned to her: "Xiao Shuang, I'll give you a preferential treatment, let you see the picture you just shot!" After speaking, Zhang Ran brought up the picture he had just taken and let Zheng Xiaoshuang see it.

After the picture was played, Zhang Ran smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

Zheng Xiaoshuang was even more puzzled: "But, are you playing with me?"

Zhang Ran smiled and showed her the footage that had just been briefly edited.

When Zheng Xiaoshuang saw the playback on the display, he could hardly hide his surprise, and he couldn't believe that the girl in the picture was himself.

Zhang Ran smiled and asked, "Xiao Shuang, do you know Keanu Reeves?"

Zheng Xiaoshuang shook his head.

"He's a very famous actor and has acted in a lot of movies. He made a movie with me last year, do you know what was the first thing I asked him to do before making a movie?" Zhang Ran looked at Zheng Xiaoshuang and shook his head, and explained with a smile, "Just let him play." I took him to the amusement park to ride the merry-go-round, to do a roller coaster, to have all kinds of fun. Acting is all about playing. When we were children, playing at home was acting, playing mother, doctor, and princess was acting. It's the same thing when we act in movies, it's the same as playing at home, understand?"

When Zhang Ran spoke, Zheng Xiaoshuang did not answer, with a pensive look. She didn't quite understand why the performance would be the same as playing at home. But let her perform like a family, she can do it.

Zhang Ran didn't expect Zheng Xiaoshuang to have a deep understanding of acting, as long as she understood that acting was a playhouse, and she could be a playhouse when she performed. He knew that this child had an aura, and he believed that she could bring surprises.

Half an hour later, the shooting began again.

This time, Zhang Ran took the same method, first let Qin Junjie and Zheng Xiaoshuang play for a while, and then Zhang Ran told them the content of the performance, and then told them that this was the content of the playhouse, and Zhao Fei stood at the other end of the classroom and secretly filmed.

Qin Junjie sat in his seat, silently doing handicrafts. Zheng Xiaoshuang ran over from the window and leaned on the table to watch Qin Junjie do it. Her eyes were sparkling, full of adoration, a bit of a nymphomaniac.

At this time, Qin Junjie completed the last process, and a mobile phone plane made of wood was completed. He put the plane on the table and whispered, "It's done!"

"Wow, that's great!" Zheng Xiaoshuang let out a cheer, she picked up the plane and looked at it, and asked, "Qiao Zhengfei, can this plane fly?"

"No, I can't build a flying plane. When he said this, Qin Junjie's expression was a little gloomy, but his eyes immediately lit up, and he said in a tone of adoration, "My dad can, the plane built by my dad can fly very high and far!"

Zhang Ran is very satisfied, these two children are talented and act very well. He gestured to the reporter who was waiting next to him, and the reporter immediately took the board to the camera and fired it.

After filming this segment, Zhang Ran returned to the digital workstation for a simple editing, and the day's filming was completed. It took almost a minute of footage on this day, and the speed was a little slow.

But after all, it's the first day, and it's normal for a little actor to slow down. Although there is still time, Zhang Ran didn't want to squeeze everyone, and directly announced that today's shooting was over. (~^~)
