Chapter 69: Finishing
The filming speed of "Time Prisoner" is surprisingly fast, shooting dozens of shots a day, which is almost catching up with the shooting speed of TV series.
Of course, this is inseparable from Zhang Ran's efforts, from the preliminary preparation to the entire filming process, he is the soul of the entire crew. Under his control, the crew is like a high-speed train, rushing at full speed towards the final day.
The last scene of the movie is when Cao Lin goes out in the morning and meets the woman who lives next door again and again. This scene mainly shows Cao Lin's emotions from peace at the beginning, to unhappiness later, to anger at the end because he lived the same day repeatedly.
At this moment, what was ready to be shot was the scene of Cao Lin's angry outburst, Hu Jun and Zuo Xiaoqing, who played the female tenant, both stood in the performance area, waiting for the official shooting.
Zhang Ran's requirement for female tenants is to be beautiful, so the production director found Zuo Xiaoqing. Zuo Xiaoqing is not only beautiful, but also quite charming. Chen Daoming has been in the film for many years, and he has always been an insulator of scandals, and his only scandal is Zuo Xiaoqing, whose charm can be imagined.
Zuo Xiaoqing is Nortel level 95, in the same class as Huang Lei's girlfriend Sun Li, and is Nortel's own person. The current situation of Zuo Xiaoqing is similar to Zhang Jingchu, playing some unknown small roles in the TV series, she is well-known to the audience until 04 years of "Chinese-style Divorce", and that TV series is the beginning of cooperation with Chen Daoming. In Zhang Ran's memory, Zuo Xiaoqing and Hu Jun seem to have cooperated a lot, and now this cooperation has been advanced.
Shooting begins.
Hu Jun opened the door and came out of the room. Zuo Xiaoqing saw Hu Jun's eyes light up and walked over. She was just about to speak, but Hu Jun preemptively said, "Don't say anything, do you want to ask me to borrow a lighter?"
Zuo Xiaoqing said in surprise: "Yes, how do you know?"
But just as Zuo Xiaoqing was about to open his mouth to speak, Hu Jun also said loudly: "Yes, how do you know?"
"Stop!" Zhang Ran shouted, and then called the two actors over, "You must speak in unison when you speak, so that you can have a sense of comedy!" and then said to Hu Jun: "Brother Jun, you can meet this woman every morning when you go out, say the same thing every day, every day, now you are very annoyed and angry, and this anger is mainly expressed by grabbing white." But this woman is not at fault of her own, and you can't completely spread the fire on her, you have to control it a little!"
"I see!" Hu Jun nodded.
The most difficult thing for an actor to perform is not to find out the highest task, nor to dig into the character's heart, but to grasp the state of the character, and the key is to that degree. Take emotions as an example, if the emotions are too strong, they will seem excessive, and if the emotions are too weak, the audience will feel flat. Some actors are criticized for acting too much, that is, they do not have a good grasp of emotions, such as the famous roaring horse, and some actors act with little soup and water, too calm in their hearts, and lack emotional ups and downs, such as Liu Shishi.
Filming resumed, and Hu Jun came out of the room. Zuo Xiaoqing walked over and was just about to speak, Hu Jun preemptively said, "Don't say anything, do you want to ask me to borrow a lighter?"
Immediately after, the two said in unison: "yes, how do you know?"
Hu Jun continued: "Don't ask me how I know, I don't want to say!"
The two said in unison, "Hey, you're so funny!"
Hu Jun said: "I'm a very interesting person, but now I'm busy and I don't want to talk to you!"
Zuo Xiaoqing looked at Hu Jun in a daze, this thing is so strange, this person seems to know what he thinks in his heart.
Hu Jun turned around and left, but after taking two steps, he stopped, turned around and walked in front of Zuo Xiaoqing, and slapped the lighter into her hand: "Lighter, no thanks!" After speaking, he walked out of the camera lens quickly.
"Very good, this shot is over!
"Sister Xiaoqing, just now you were playing with Brother Jun, the state of the performance was not right, the inner state of the character was not performed, and when I filmed you later, I must present the inner emotions of the characters, I want to see the changes in the characters' hearts. When the camera crew moved the camera, Zhang Ran called Zuo Xiaoqing over.
"It's a feeling of surprise, right?" Zuo Xiaoqing groaned.
Zhang Ran looked at the gentle and lovely woman in front of him and analyzed for her: "You really want to borrow fire, but this man is very handsome, so you have a bit of a talk." But as soon as you come over, he says everything you have to say in your heart, you should be surprised at first, then surprised, and finally confused, I want this process of psychological change. ”
"No problem, Director!"
Half an hour later, Zhang Ran, who was sitting on a chair watching the monitor, was staring at the picture with his eyes firmly fixed. It took him three times before he took his eyes off the screen, looked up, and exhaled heavily, sweeping away all the heavy stuff in his heart, leaving only full of joy.
The whole movie, all the shots, is now all shot!
Zhang Ran looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, knowing that everyone was waiting for his answer. He stood up, picked up the tweeter, and shouted in a tremor, "Now I announce, the last shot has passed!"
The crew is basically a veteran and serious member, and it is common to divide and merge, but it is normal, everyone began to pack up things in an orderly manner. Only Zhang Jingchu, who was making a movie for the first time and was the heroine, was very excited, jumped up, and shouted "yes" twice. But when she saw everyone smiling at her, she realized that she was so excited that she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
Zhang Ran held the tweeter, stood on the chair, and said loudly: "Don't worry about packing up your things, I want to say a few words!"
When everyone stopped, Zhang Ran scratched his hair and said condescendingly: "The filming of "Time Prisoner" is over today, and it is a miracle that so many shots can be completed in ten days! Now I feel a little emotional, I studied art in elementary school, and when I was seventeen years old, I realized that I was slightly weak in color, and there was no future in studying art. There is no way, I just entered the film and television industry!"
"Ahh
No one thought that Zhang Ran would be weak, which was really unexpected by everyone, and even a little beyond everyone's imagination.
"Actually, I also like movies, when I was a kid in the movie theater, I saw a light from the projector, and when it shines on a white cloth, you can turn into a person, and you can turn into all kinds of beautiful scenes, which is very magical. But it's because it's so magical, I really didn't want to be a director.
When I was in college, when I stood behind the camera for the first time and touched the camera for the first time, my whole body trembled, as if I had touched the pulse of the whole world. At that time, I was always thinking about what movies I would make in the future and how I would make movies. At that time, I felt that the future was at my feet, and I felt that I could sculpt time like Tarkovsky. It's just that when you really step into the film and television industry, you know how realistic this circle is, how deep the water is, and a word from a big man can ruin your future. But I really like movies, so I never gave up even in the toughest times, and I always believed in my heart that I would be able to make movies, and I would definitely be able to make good movies!
Now I have finally completed the first feature film in my life, and I rely on everyone's support these days, so I want to say thank you to everyone! Thank you for your help, let me finish the film with peace of mind, and thank you for letting me fulfill my dream! In the process of filming, sometimes I can speak without going through my brain, and I must have offended everyone. I'm here to apologize to you too, I hope you don't mind!" As he spoke, Zhang Ran bowed slightly to everyone in the crew.
Everyone felt the sincerity in Zhang Ran's words, and their hearts were a little moved, and they all crackled and applauded. It's just that they don't know that Zhang Ran is talking about the past life, not the present life!
"After today, most people will go their separate ways. I don't want to say anything sentimental about parting, that's too hypocritical. But I hope that in the future, everyone will have the opportunity to cooperate. I won't say more, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, the crew invites everyone to dinner, please be sure to be there!"
At the finale banquet in the evening, wine bottles flew wildly, and everyone took turns to find Zhang Ran to toast.
"Director, I have also filmed a lot of scenes, this time it is most comfortable to cooperate with you, and we will cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future! Not much to say, it's all in the wine, let's have a drink!" Hu Jun held a glass in one hand and a wine bottle in the other, full of pride, and the image of Qiao's gang leader.
"It's absolutely fine, as long as there is a suitable role, I will definitely find you. Let's have a drink!" Zhang Ran touched the glass with Hu Jun and drank the wine.
"Director, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I love the role and I love the film. I've really learned a lot from making movies with you, and if there's a suitable role, I'll call me if I don't need to be paid!
"You've done a good job, and we'll have a chance to work together again. Zhang Ran nodded.
Zhang Ran has a lot of people to thank, Zheng Dongdong is one: "Mr. Zheng, this time "Time Prisoner" can be successfully completed, thanks to you, if it is just me, I will definitely not be able to control the scene." As long as you sit down here, I will have confidence in my heart! I have learned a lot from you these days, and I have worked hard for you! I toast you!"
"I also learned a lot of things, the special effects, the green screen was the first time I was involved. Zhang Ran, work hard, the future of Chinese films depends on you young people. Zheng Dongdong smiled and touched the cup with Zhang Ran.
Throughout the night, Zhang Ran did not refuse to drink, and later drank so much that he didn't know who was going to do it, and in the end it was Hu Jun and the others who carried him back to the dormitory.
After the filming of the crew, Zhang Ran could finally sleep peacefully, which was the best sleep he had in more than a month. By the time he woke up, it was already past twelve o'clock in the afternoon. This is the life that Zhang Ran wants most, but unfortunately these two are irreconcilable contradictions and difficult to coexist!
After hastily eating lunch, Zhang Ran came to Qingying Studio to communicate the work of the end of the film.
