Section 117: Power on
At the beginning of January, Nanyang City officially entered winter, and the temperature began to approach freezing.
Today's weather is not very good, the sun is not out, the sky is gloomy, and there is a dense rain falling little by little, not big or small, just non-stop, making people upset. In the newly built mental hospital of Xianlin Film and Television Base, it is a hot scene.
"The microphone is hoisted high...... If it's higher, it'll be photographed in a while,"
Duane roamed around, screaming from time to time. The staff around him came and went, each doing their job in an orderly manner.
This is the hallway of the built psychiatric hospital, the long corridor completely implements his thoughts, long and wide, and looks very empty from one end.
With the incentive of additional bonuses for overdue completion, the construction team worked day and night to deliver the project ahead of schedule in mid-December. After the set team settled in - the new psychiatric hospital needed to be renovated and decorated again - also according to his requirements, the interior scenes were all set up in light tones, at first glance they were monotonous black and white, no cold tones, no abrupt bright colors, and the colors of the entire mental hospital interior were the type that made people drowsy when they looked at them.
"Director Du, how does this look like?"
A voice drew Duane's attention, and when he turned around, the makeup artist of the crew pulled Jusie over.
I saw that Zhu Qian was wearing a black standard coat and a nurse's hat, her hair was tied up and tied back of her head, covered with a hat, but two strands of hair hung down from both sides of her forehead.
According to the plan, Jusie only had one month, so Duane gathered all her scenes together and pulled them to the front to shoot. Fortunately, although it is said to be the heroine. But the head nurse Li Hui doesn't have too many scenes. Duane estimated the speed of the two of them. It can be done in half a month.
"No, no, no,"
Duane shook his head repeatedly, stepped forward, and pulled the two strands of hair hanging down on either side of her forehead, "What the hell is this? I said it, try to eliminate her feminine features, these two strands of hair are too feminine." Duane said as he moved his hand and removed Jusie's hat. Removing the hair tie she used to tie her hair, remembering the appearance of the old grandmothers in the village, she brushed the hair back on the sides of her head, "You press it." ”
After the makeup artist helped him hold down the hair on both sides, he started again, picked up Zhu Qian's bangs, grabbed them, and gathered them on top of his head to form a big back.
"That's pretty much the feeling, you see. ”
Duane asked the make-up artist to come over and look at his bearings. After the makeup artist took a look, her face was strange: the girl combed her big back. That's ugly, isn't it......
Thinking so, the makeup artist unconsciously glanced at Zhu Qian.
Zhu Qian glanced back at her and said, "Whatever the director says, you can do it." ”
Seeing this, Duane laughed.
Zhu Qian is also a wrist now, if she was not famous, how would these makeup artists take into account her thoughts, and it was not the director who would do what she said, but now the first thing to consider is whether she is willing to accept it.
After re-styling according to Duan's requirements, Zhu Qian's image finally satisfied Duan: a big back, hair gathered on both sides of the head, aging makeup, two forehead lines on the forehead, poor skin quality, painted a little sallow, completely devoid of her daily beauty, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a self-destructive image.
Fortunately, this actor is very professional, and he doesn't care about it, but is very curious about his current style, and takes a mirror to look at it from time to time, hehehe.
"Good,"
Du An was very satisfied, and after temporarily explaining a few key points of the performance later, he asked Zhu Qian to go over and take his place.
"Get in place!"
Duane looked around the scene and saw that everyone was ready, and after the field notes were played, he shouted, "Let's go!"
The camera is placed at the aisle end of the hallway, and is aimed in the direction of the door at the other end of the aisle. With Duane's order, Zhu Qian opened the door and walked in, then opened the second iron door, and walked towards the camera at a normal pace, and her figure in the monitor became bigger and bigger.
This is a long lens, the camera stays still, as Zhu Qian walks over, Kang Junan slowly zooms, the background blurs, in focus, Zhu Qian plays with the keychain in her hand as she walks, lowers her head, finds the key to the nurse's station, clamps it with her thumb and forefinger, and puts her hand down. And throughout the whole process, she was expressionless, the corners of her mouth were slightly down, and her eyes were indifferent.
Du An's script only wrote "Li Hui opened the door and walked in, very majestic", and the small action of finding the key was added by Zhu Qian herself, but Du An thought it was very good, otherwise it seemed too monotonous and boring just to walk.
A good actor is a good actor, with brains.
Du Anxin sighed, and then shouted "Pass!" at the right time.
"Oh!"
Kang Junan raised his eyebrows and exhaled softly, and the surrounding staff members were also full of smiles.
The first scene of the boot was passed once, which is a good sign.
"Prepare for the next scene!"
Du Ann shouted, and the staff began to get busy again, moving the camera, dismantling the light board, Zhu Qian also came over and looked at the monitor, "How was it just now?" ”
Duane brought up the picture just now for her to see, and praised at the same time: "You just added a good little action." ”
Zhu Qian leaned in and watched it for a while, and felt that it was indeed okay, meeting the requirements of the script, seeing that the staff was still busy, and she couldn't turn on the camera for a while, so she chatted casually: "You don't stop filming one after another, aren't you tired?"
The next scene will follow this one chronologically, so she doesn't have to put on makeup anymore, just wait for it to start.
Duane shook his head, "Not tired. He really didn't understand why the guys in the media always liked to say that his shooting speed would lead to a lack of energy, which would affect the production level of the film.
When the harvest was in the countryside, they would go out early in the morning, bend down to cut the day's rice, and not come back until it was dark. Then I got up the next day, and it was repeated again and again, for several days.
Then he will be tired, he will lose energy, he is now making a movie and resting for several months, how can he be out of energy?
"Young, energetic,"
Zhu Qian sighed, which made Du An want to laugh: she was only two years older than herself, just like how old she was.
After chatting for a few more words, Zhu Qian asked casually, "How is Jia Hongsheng?"
Du An glanced at her, thought for a while, and said, "It's pretty good, just like you, a genius-level actor." ”
"Oh?"
Duane saw Zhu Qian's eyes with some curiosity and some eagerness.
"You'll see it then, and tomorrow there will be a play between the two of you. ”
As soon as Du An's words said, Zhu Qian stopped talking, but she couldn't wait to look at her eyes.
Duane shook his head: he really didn't understand the psychology of these actors, and he seemed to want to compete with an opponent of equal strength, and his competitiveness was too strong. Jia Hongsheng is the same, after hearing him say that the heroine is played by Zhu Qian, although he is still silent as always, Du An can see a trace of heat in his eyes.
The two were chatting, and a person came together.
"Sister Qianqian, Director Du, what are you talking about?"
Du An turned his head to see that it was Li Qian.
The actor, who has worked with "Pretty Woman in the Moon", was pulled over by him again this time, playing Zhu Qian's assistant and a little nurse in "One Flew Over the Asylum".
"Talk about the inhumanity of our Director Du,"
Zhu Qian touched her hair and smiled, "It's really uncomfortable to have to put a cushion on me." ”
may be because of her height and face, this young actress looks like a minor, so she is also treated and taken care of by all the crew as a little sister.
Duane touched his nose and didn't speak.
Although Zhu Qian had C, he was still not satisfied, so she added two more mats, and it was not until D that she was finally satisfied.
The three chatted for a while, reminiscing about the filming time of "Pretty Woman", and it was finally arranged. (To be continued.) )
