Chapter 172
"Director Chen, you're early!" "Uncle Jian, I'll help you carry this." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
After Zeng Huaqian came to the set, she greeted the crew warmly all the way. Originally, everyone saw that she was very depressed when she left yesterday, and thought that Zeng Huaqian was going to wilt today, but they never thought that this little girl was quite optimistic and recovered from yesterday's blow so quickly!
"Zeng Huaqian, morning! Such a happy mood, I hope you can keep it all day today. Cheng Weiliang walked into this busy set with a smile, waved his hand at Zeng Huaqian, and said something in his words.
Zeng Huaqian pursed her lips tightly, and raised her small fist in front of Cheng Weiliang, as if demonstrating and cheering herself up, "Director Cheng, even if I am hit, I will keep my mood happy, and I will not give in easily! I will let you reduce the number of NG times today!"
The corners of Cheng Weiliang's mouth curled slightly, and he nodded with interest, his eyes seemed to tell Zeng Huaqian: I am waiting for your performance.
"Guys, stop what you're doing and listen to me before you start shooting. After Cheng Weiliang and Mei Xiaoqing exchanged glances, they clapped their palms and motioned for everyone to come over.
The scene management, director's assistants, cameramen and lighting engineers who were making various preparations before filming looked at Cheng Weiliang one after another.
"Dear staff and actors, yesterday's scene was very well filmed, I would like to express my gratitude in advance!" Cheng Weiliang bowed his hand to the crew with a smile.
When the smiles of the people below were gone, his face became solemn next, "However, yesterday was just an appetizer! Let me tell you, today is the big scene and the most difficult event! I hope that everyone will continue to maintain the vigorous fighting spirit of yesterday, and everyone will work hard with great spirit, obey the command of their superiors, and shoot several important scenes today!"
When others heard the big show yesterday where so many luxury cars were borrowed to film, it was just a piece of cake, and they couldn't help but buzz in a low voice.
Some of the people who really know the specific shooting plan today are related. Cheng Weiliang is not wrong, today's scenes are indeed the biggest scenes in the entire first episode, and the highlight of the actors' acting skills, I am afraid it will be very difficult to film.
However, this Cheng director has relatively high requirements for the acting skills of the actors, filming a scene where students surround students and judge students, and even use hundreds of extras to fill the pomp, after filming for so many years, in addition to costume dramas, which Xiangjiang director of fashion dramas needs such a big pomp to shoot?
In the pomp and circumstance, the financial staff of the crew who spent this money had a pain in their flesh, just inviting hundreds of students to be extras, 50 yuan per person, and 5,000 yuan a day, which cost a lot of money.
The finances are a little distressing, but the young cinematographers and assistant directors are more excited. It's just that TV stations have always pursued the principle of economy, and filming TV drama scenes can save money, and costume dramas and war scenes of 10,000 people are just pulling 100 people to fill the number, let alone fashion dramas!
It is not without merit for laymen to come to filming, at least Cheng Weiliang, a loser, is willing to spend a lot of money in filming, unlike the TV station that deducts the rope, which restricts that restriction! As for whether the cost of the filmed film can be recovered, it is not what they and middle-level personnel are concerned about. In this way, they like Cheng Weiliang a little!
It's just that everything has a contradictory side. If someone likes it, there will be someone who doesn't.
As a senior member of the crew, Deputy Director Chen's status is second only to Cheng Weiliang and Mei Xiaoqing, and he is also one of the people responsible for the success or failure of this play.
He believes that there is no need to shoot such a big scene, which is not in line with the practice of ATV to shoot TV series. Cheng Weiliang is a newcomer who does not know how to control the cost of filming, and if he does this, his budget will definitely be overspent in the end! He also tactfully suggested that Cheng Weiliang should not shout "click!" like he did on the first day, shouting addictively, and he was really wasting money by "playing" like this.
Deputy Director Chen looked at Cheng Weiliang above with a gloomy face, his two good suggestions last night were softly pushed back by Cheng Weiliang. Director Mei also refused to be on his side, and really let this layman waste ATV's money casually!
"Quiet! In short, everyone has worked hard for a few days, and after filming the first episode, I personally invite the whole crew to a star-rated hotel for a big meal!" Cheng Weiliang pressed his hand and let the people below be a little restless. This was followed by the announcement of a good news that made the majority of the cast and crew very excited.
"Oh oh! Long live Director Cheng!" Everyone has never heard of the finale banquet, and now this director will invite them to the big hotel for a meal after filming the first episode, which is really the best for the low-level staff who are bitter! Some of the grassroots people in Xiangjiang who were originally jealous of the good luck of Cheng Weiliang, a mainland boy, even shouted the flattering slogan "Long live Director Cheng!"
"Alright, let's all go back to their places. Cheng Weiliang waved them away.
……
……
This scene contains a series of shots, and the actors in each scene have almost been scolded by Cheng Weiliang today! Even Yin Tianzhao played the role of a little dragon who was beaten by the protagonist, and this scene was shot three times, not to mention the other leading actors!
Cheng Weiliang's roar made the young actors truly understand what Cheng Weiliang said in the morning, "Yesterday was just an appetizer, today is the real thing!" The young actors were tossed by Cheng Weiliang after a scene!
"Not bad, not bad! This, and this, these shots, you shoot really well! Especially the scene in the stairwell to contain the unlucky guys, shot from top to bottom, the picture is quite visually impactful! It has a very cinematic feel!" Mei Xiaoqing inspected the playback of several scenes filmed by Cheng Weiliang himself in the camera, and sighed while watching.
Regarding Cheng Weiliang's previous statement that he would personally serve as a cameraman, Mei Xiaoqing was finally completely relieved. Cheng Weiliang gave her too many surprises! She can't wait at the moment, she really wants to see what kind of surprise effect the finished product will have after the first episode is filmed, edited, and then dubbed and soundtracked?
……
"Bastard, scolding is so ugly!" Zeng Huaqian ran into the distance, pounding the white wall with hatred. Although everyone was scolded, she was the only one who was NG many times.
Li Saifeng only NG 2 times! As for himself, one expression and even the number of NG times were refreshed to 7 times! The expressions that practiced so hard last night were all rejected by Cheng Weiliang today!
"Xiaoqian, you are here. What's wrong? Sulking?" asked Li Saifeng with a smile. She and Yuan Qiongshan walked out of the auditorium and found Zeng Huaqian banging on the wall with a depressed face.
Yuan Qiongshan walked over, patted Zeng Huaqian's shoulder, and comforted: "Xiaoqian, are you still thinking about the filming just now? Don't take it too seriously, how can you not be scolded by the director when you are an actor, you can get used to it when you listen to it." That's what our predecessors taught us!"
Li Saifeng leaned against the wall and looked at Zeng Huaqian with a smile, "Xiaoqian, if you are serious, you will lose! Oh, I still heard this sentence from Director Cheng." Hurry up and pack your mood, it's my turn to play against you again! Let's all do our best. Gone, Dandan!"
Looking at Li Saifeng, who was walking away, Zeng Huaqian bit her lower lip, and if she wasn't serious, she would lose even more!
……
Soon, the crew moved to the school's cafeteria, where two major scenes would be filmed.
The heroine Shancai offended Daoming Temple in order to maintain her newly recognized friend Li Ying, and Shancai was punished by her classmates after offending F4, and a few days later she encountered Daoming Temple in the restaurant and was trampled on by him The meal prepared for her in the middle of the night by his mother, Shancai finally couldn't bear it anymore and issued a war announcement to Daoming Temple in turn.
The scene in the restaurant will be the first fierce confrontation between the hero and heroine. The contradictions and conflicts in the two scenes are very intense, which is very interesting. is the essence of the first episode. The performance requirements for actors, especially the heroine Zeng Huaqian, are particularly high. Cheng Weiliang and Zeng Huaqian's real rivalry also started from these two scenes.
Cheng Weiliang and Zeng Huaqian were going to play each other for a while, and the news soon became known to the whole crew. Many good deeds are conjecturing, "Director Cheng, a halfway monk, almost scolded a professional actor from a training class yesterday, and now it's his turn to play a major rivalry with the heroine, let's see how he plays himself?"
"Hit the street! interfere with the work of other people's lanterns, remove the cameraman, take charge of the camera himself, and scold all the actors, thinking that he is omnipotent? As if he knows everything! I want to see how many pounds and taels he has?" Some unconvinced people secretly stared at Cheng Weiliang.
"The rivalry between the little director and the heroine, hehe, I heard that many people here want to watch a good show!" The two artists who arranged the scene in the restaurant whispered while working.
"Those people are really boring, saying that others are laymen, but as a result, people will fiddle with the lights, can play with the camera, and can criticize the acting skills of those professional actors as worthless, and the power of life and death of the entire crew is in the hands of others, those people, aren't they just unbalanced in their hearts? Speaking of laymen, I think they are self-proclaimed insiders, and no one knows much about them!" Another artist is very disdainful of boring people who have no ability and like to gossip behind their backs.
"Xiao Yan, your blow is too big! Whether the little director can do it or not, we have no right to judge. However, let me tell you an inside story, I heard that the director must shoot the first episode within a week, including post-editing, soundtrack, subtitles, etc., and submit it to ATV's senior management for review after making it into a complete TV series. If the station thinks that the shooting is too bad, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep his position as a director! The first artist triumphantly threw out an overheard story from a relative.
Li Saifeng turned her back to the two artists, she pretended to drink water, and listened carefully.
No wonder he didn't finish filming all the scenes on campus, no wonder he will leave HKU tomorrow to shoot on location. Li Saifeng didn't know whether this news was good or bad for him.
According to the script, the art team made some changes in the school cafeteria, and the scenery was quickly set up.
"All the extras are in place! Li Saifeng, Zeng Huaqian is ready!" Assistant Director Chen shouted to all the dragon suits who played the role of dining students to hurry up and sit down in the reserved seats in the restaurant.
Zeng Huaqian was already sitting in the restaurant, and Li Saifeng was waiting at the door of the restaurant, and the character she played Li Ying had to wait for the camera to start before she could pretend to meet the heroine Shancai, and ran to Shancai's seat to talk to her. Later, it happened that Li Ying inadvertently collided with Daoming Temple, and Shancai stood up for Li Ying and offended Daoming Temple.
Li Saifeng stood at the door, waiting bored. She suddenly glanced over there, and Cheng Weiliang, who was surrounded by a group of people, was hiding behind the camera, constantly adjusting the camera to Zeng Huaqian's side, obviously to make the final adjustments for the scene that would start filming soon.
All the attention was on Zeng Huaqian's side, and Li Saifeng, who was bored, felt irritable for no reason. If it weren't for Cheng Weiliang choosing an outsider to be the female number one, the position where everyone was in the spotlight should be her to sit!
"I'm going to splash his food and stain his clothes in a while, right? There will be a scene in the future where my subordinates beat him half to death, right? Ah, it turns out that I can bully him in the play!" After being obscene for a while, Li Saifeng finally had some illusory sense of superiority in his heart for Director Cheng, who was close in age but could control the fate of their gang, and who was usually always an old god and was extremely stinky.
"Prepare the teams!" shouted the assistant director.
"Photography team OK!"
"Lighting group OK!"
"Recording crew OK!"
"Eleventh, Scene 1, Mirror 1, First Time!" shouted the reporter with the clapperboard.
"Ikesh!" Cheng Weiliang calmly shouted into the horn.
Li Saifeng glanced at Zeng Huaqian in the restaurant, took a deep breath, and cheered himself up: "Li Saifeng, come on! Let the director know who is the actress with the best acting skills?"
Li Saifeng played the role of transfer student Li Ying, and after entering the restaurant, his eyes looked left and right, looking for a suitable seat. At this time, Shancai, who was eating, found Li Ying and happily waved her to come and sit down.
Li Ying was as careful as a little white rabbit to avoid the hand of the strange boy who wanted to pull her into the seat halfway, and came all the way to sit opposite Shancai.
"Li Saifeng is good! Li Ying, a transfer student who has just arrived in your place, has a resistance to strangers, and has a weak personality, is vividly played!" Cheng Weiliang looked at the image of the camera lens, and couldn't help but praise in his heart. Li Saifeng is worthy of being discovered by the director when she was in middle school and filming, and later became a celebrity in the film industry tomorrow! Her acting skills are now much better than Zeng Huaqian, a rookie! It's a pity that she doesn't cooperate well with herself and can't play the heroine.
"Click!" When it came to Zeng Huaqian's performance, Cheng Weiliang frowned, picked up the horn and shouted to stop. What happened to Zeng Huaqian? As if he hadn't entered the state of an actor at all, he should have performed Shancai's closeness, affection, and love for the weak transfer students, but Zeng Huaqian's performance just now was too stiff, and it was really out of the usual level!
"Zeng Huaqian, think about it, in a depressing environment, suddenly meet an old friend you can talk to, what kind of mood should you have? Your expression just now is too stiff!" Cheng Weiliang explained.
"Start where you left off and do it again!"
If Cheng Weiliang is driven away, he must not be able to stand it, right? He wrote songs and designed costumes for this play, and I heard Zeng Huaqian say that he ran a lot of companies to get sponsorship on a hot day, and he paid so much for this drama that he was taken away by ATV, he would definitely be sad to death, right?
Li Saifeng looked over there, thoughtful. (To be continued.) )
