Section 416: Changes
Duane is a wayward director......
Very capricious. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
So he revised the production plan if he wanted to, without explaining the reasons at all - of course, as a director, a producer and a producer at the same time, there was no other producer above his head, and he didn't need to explain anything to others. Especially after Zhou Xingchi, another giant in the crew, has not been with him much recently, others are even more afraid to complain, so they can only take the newly revised work schedule and throw the old one aside.
"Has the ship of the ensemble arrived?...... Not yet, so where are they now?...... Hurry up, you're busy working here......"
"What, three pieces of clothing are missing? What...... Okay, okay, I know, you guys are really, it's really, you don't have to step on it, now the schedule has changed?...... Gotta get it, that's it, I'll talk to Director Du later, and see if I can lose three ...... in the group performance."
"What about Wang Tong?...... Haven't come yet?...... And when will her plane land?...... Make another phone call, contact the other side, rent an extra boat, and pick her up as soon as she arrives......"
Because of the change in the production plan, the scene was busy with porridge, everyone was busy like ants on a hot pot, everyone was anxious, and there was no time to rest.
Not only the staff are busy, but the actors are also busy: from the protagonist to the group performance, everyone has been temporarily notified to change the production plan, they are not ready for the new play at all, the time is too short, and now everyone is watching their own scripts.
If they didn't have a long-term plan, how could they be so urgent?......
Duane watched the scene and sighed as he took a leisurely walk on the grass and enjoyed the glorious sunshine on the island—it would have been even better if he had a beach chair for him to lie down and sunbathe.
He is probably the most laid-back person in the busy crew.
Today they were going to shoot a scene in Truman's life, but the shooting plan was temporarily changed, and a series of scenes that were originally filmed at the end were adjusted to the present, which is why the on-site personnel are so busy. As for the busiest among them, they probably belong to several subordinate producers.
In order to modify the shooting plan according to Duane's intentions, the production producer didn't sleep all night, and the life producer contacted the actors, arranged air tickets, shipping, etc. according to the temporarily changed production plan.
Corresponding to this hectic scene is the cost of the crew - Duane doesn't need to see it to know that the cost of filming will definitely rise due to his temporary plan change, but this is not a big deal, and the main thing is to ask for money.
At this point, he perfectly set an example for all directors - many directors in the circle are like this, following their own inspiration, shooting wherever they want, and increasing expenses for their own sudden inspiration to shoot a scene, which is why many movies tend to overspend while filming, and some people even shoot and directly drag the crew down, resulting in the miscarriage of the film.
Movies are really not as simple as making a computer, and the cost can be strictly controlled.
The hectic scene lasted for more than an hour, and finally everything was arranged and the crew was finally ready to start the final preparations for the shoot.
Duane also stopped wandering around the venue and returned to his director's chair to sit and see the big picture.
In front of him, there is a meadow, the assistant director Xiao Dai takes the group performers who have just arrived on the island to move on the grass, guiding them where to stand for a while, how to move, what everyone should do, and so on; on the right side of the meadow, the crew's scene room has been temporarily requisitioned into a dressing room, and the makeup artists are busy inside, and the group performers go in in a few in order, and come out and go in one batch, just like the products made in batches on the industrial production line; the one closest to the dressing room in Duane is a dressing room for several main actors, and their makeup is much more detailed and takes more time than these group performances, I didn't see anyone come out for a long time, and after waiting for a long time, someone finally came out.
It was a young girl with her hair tied in a ponytail at the back of her head, and the ponytail flicked at the back of her head as she walked. The makeup on her face is not very thick, she looks very young and beautiful, and the clothes on her body are also full of vitality, a bit of a sailor suit style in it, a thin line sweater and short skirt, young and beautiful, very eye-catching.
It was Song Zhen, her makeup artist walked in front of Du An with her, and asked, "Director Du, is this okay?"
Du An looked at Song Zhen and didn't speak for a long time.
The next scene to be filmed is Truman's memory plot, and the main plot is like this: when Truman was in school, he met the girl he liked on the school's anniversary, but his future wife played by Song Zhen forcibly intervened.
The scenes that came in in the two days of temporary extra play also mainly hit this aspect, all of which are about the memory scenes of Truman's school days, describing how Truman, under the arrangement of the crew, passed by a girl he liked, and finally got married with a girl he didn't like.
will temporarily move this series of scenes that were originally intended to be filmed in the final stage of the film to the front, and Duane took Song Zhen's factors into account.
After two days of temporary training, he found that Song Zhen's progress was very fast, if he continued at this speed, it was really possible to be able to perform the feeling he wanted! So he temporarily suppressed his idea of wanting to change the heroine, and planned to give her another chance, so he moved these scenes to the front to shoot, after all, this series of scenes is the least difficult for Song Zhen in all the clips of the whole film, and he intends to give her a step-by-step process.
It's just that the makeup in front of him doesn't quite meet his requirements......
Duan shook his head, stood up, walked to Song Zhen's side, lifted the ponytail on the back of her head, and said to the makeup artist, "What is this?" and then pointed to Song Zhen's face and continued to ask the makeup artist, "What is this?"
The makeup artist looked confused, not knowing where she couldn't put on her makeup.
Du An looked at her expression of incomprehension, and did not go around in circles with her, and said directly and clearly: "Didn't Lao Li tell you? What I want is ugly, ugly!" Seeing that the makeup artist was scared by himself, Du An's tone slowed down.
"Don't be afraid, I don't blame you, everyone's time is very tight, and it is inevitable that you will be wrong all of a sudden, I understand, just re-transform. ”
In fact, he didn't want to be angry with the makeup teacher, the object of his anger was Lao Li, that is, his assistant director. As his assistant director, he couldn't understand what he meant, and asked the makeup artist to put on such a beautiful makeup for Song Zhen, which is where he got angry.
But perhaps his impromptu intention to make everyone scramble may be the most fundamental reason, and Duane thought of this possibility, and did not intend to be angry with anyone anymore - blame himself.
"Hairstyles can't do that. ”
Du An said, started directly, loosened the rubber band tied with a ponytail on the back of Song Zhen's head, let her hair hang down, looked left and right, clenched his hands into fists, and gestured on both sides of her head to show the makeup artist, "Double ponytail, give her a double ponytail, the kind that is very earthy, and it should be more earthy." ”
Then he pointed to the clothes on Song Zhen's body again, "This dress is not good, change, the kind that does not line the top with the bottom and the top does not line the face shape, you are professional, you know better than me, you can do it yourself." Finally, the makeup should also be changed, too delicate, ugly, but don't deliberately, you want the effect of not being able to make up but forcibly wearing makeup, you can grasp this degree yourself, after all, you are a professional. ”
After Du An's explanation, the makeup artist understood, and immediately said, "Okay, Director Du, I know!" and then pulled Song Zhen back to put on makeup.
After a while, when the actress who came late for the temporary arrival had all put on her makeup, Song Zhen's second set of makeup was finally completed, and the two of them came to Du An's front to pass his last hurdle together.
Du quietly looked at Song Zhen's new makeup: the rustic double ponytail that was improved according to his requirements hung on both sides of his head, and the rest of his hair was all attached to his head, which was very good like the style of a new peasant woman in the sixties and seventies of the last century, very good; the makeup on his face was also modified, no longer the previous exquisite style, but a strong local style, and the two slightly overly blushes on his cheeks were a bright spot and played the finishing touch; as for the clothing, it also met Du An's requirements, the grandmother's short skirt with an old-fashioned earth-colored thin line sweater, it was really pants that did not match the top, and the top did not match the face shape, Song Zhen's whole appearance was suddenly lowered by two grades。
Duane nodded, satisfied, especially after comparing himself to the girl next to her.
The girl next to Song Zhen is the supporting actress of this scene, playing Truman's dream lover, and her role in the play is okay, there are also several lines before and after, and she is also a key figure, which is quite important.
Du An remembered that her name was Wang Tong, she looked good, and she walked according to normal makeup, and she was even more beautiful compared to Song Zhen next to her.
yes, that's what it sounds like.
Duane nodded, "Yes, just set this makeup." ”
Makeup is not as beautiful as possible, and the heroine is not as beautiful as possible, most of the time she has to follow the script.
In the script, Truman fell in love with Wang Tong at first sight instead of Song Zhen, if Song Zhen is more beautiful than Wang Tong, then what is the convincing power? The audience directly disbelieves it and cannot substitute it into the movie, so Song Zhen must be ugly - she can not be ugly the rest of the time, but she must be ugly in these scenes, so that the film can naturally have persuasive power and will not make people feel stiff.
The movie is composed of these inconspicuous small details that the audience looks at one by one.
After the makeup was set, it didn't take long for the preparations on the scene to be ready, and the scene was finally able to start filming.
The scene was simple, but Duane was a little excited.
The actors he has been in contact with in the past are all finished products, and it is the first time he has tried this mode of shooting while teaching, and he doesn't know if it will be successful.
But if it doesn't work, you'll know when filming starts......
"Let's go!" (To be continued.) )
