Chapter 53: Cameo
The addition of drama is not a big deal, that is, the director, producer and other powerful people say a word. But it's not small, and how much you add has to be carefully measured.
Chen Guoli has said this part, Zhu Ziqing naturally will not give no face at all. But how to add it, the two discussed for a long time and did not reach a consensus.
There is no problem with how to add it, Chen Guoli is an experienced director, and it is too simple for him to add some drama for one person. The problem is in style.
"Love Apartment" is witty and humorous, and the language is very down-to-earth. After Chen Guoli thought about the plot, he couldn't think of lines that met the requirements for a while. And Zhu Ziqing ...... For porters, this is the biggest headache. Then the two men were blinded.
"Why don't we brainstorm and call everyone together to discuss?" Chen Guoli scratched his scalp and said.
"It's too much trouble. Otherwise, let's add an episode for her and let her sing a one-man show......" Zhu Ziqing remembered the big review of the last two episodes of the fourth part of the 'Love Apartment' in his previous life.
There's nothing new, it's just that some of the content of the first four parts has been put together into two episodes. Lisa Rong's one-man show that exceeds the standard standard.
Although this is only the first part, it shouldn't be difficult to pick out a few pieces to put together an episode. If you really can't do it, you can also add some shooting footage.
When Zhu Ziqing said this idea, Chen Guoli's eyes lit up: "Okay, good way." I immediately arranged for someone to write the script. ”
Adding scenes is actually quite troublesome, not to mention revising the script, but also reshooting or reshooting. Adding drama to one person inevitably compresses the role of others. The people who are cut from the scenes will naturally not be happy, and they are prone to unnecessary incidents.
As for not cutting other people's scenes to add scenes for another person, this is also troublesome.
How many episodes of a TV series are filmed are written in the contract. If you sign a contract for 20 episodes in a few years, and you edit 21 episodes, the actor can sue you for breach of contract or something.
This matter is usually easy to solve. Negotiate with the actors in advance, and no one will say anything if they make some compensation. If you meet a particularly unreasonable actor, there is no way.
Zhu Ziqing added an episode for Lisa Rong, which is also beyond the scope of the contract. But the actors in their crew are all newcomers, and no one must dare to bite the bullet against it. The salary of the newcomer is not high, and the compensation does not cost much.
And the advantage of this is too great, at least you don't have to reshoot or add extra work, you can just edit a part of the existing work.
Chen Guoli called his assistant over, and the arrangement was settled.
Without Li Jiahui knowing it, a big pie, without a little water, smashed straight on her head.
Although the matter was properly discussed, no one was in a hurry about the script. Lisa Rong's one-man show, her lines are decided based on the content selected.
The film has not yet been filmed, and it remains to be thought about which part to use. So the matter of the script naturally has to wait a while.
"Let's go, let's go to the shooting site and have a look." Zhu Ziqing got up and said. Chen Guoli also walked over. The shooting site is next door, just a few steps away.
A small room was packed with people...... No, half the space is full of people, half of the room is empty, to be exact.
The director, gaffer, cameraman, chores, and all kinds of equipment are all crammed into one corner, and it is difficult to avoid crowding. The empty side was naturally the set, and only a few actors were there.
When Zhu Ziqing walked in, he was filming the rivalry between Lin Wanyu played by Ning Xin and Lu Ziqiao played by Gou Shaoqiang.
"You're going to pedal two boats again?" Lin Wanyu said angrily.
"Ha, how is that possible, am I that kind of person?" Lu Ziqiao seemed to have heard a big joke.
Lin Wanyu thought that she had misunderstood Lu Ziqiao, and as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she suddenly heard him say: "I plan to break up with her this time." ”
After speaking, he turned around and twisted his body and walked to the door, leaving Lin Wanyu, who couldn't react, in a daze. At this time, Chen Meijia opened the door and walked in, Lu Ziqiao glanced at her proudly, and was about to open the door and go out.
Zhu Ziqing knew which plot was being performed now after a little observation - at the beginning of the seventeenth episode, Lu Ziqiao hooked up with another woman when he was dating Lin Wanyu's friend Anne, and said that he was going to dump Anne.
The plot is not complicated, there are not many characters, and there are not many lines - it should be said that most of the plot of "Love Apartment" is like this, after all, is it a sitcom.
Simple doesn't necessarily mean easy to shoot, especially if the actor is inexperienced. No, some people are laughing.
The most classic of this paragraph is neither the lines nor the plot, but Lu Ziqiao's actions. The action of squirming and twisting is really funny.
So Chen Meijia, played by Liu Yue, squatted on the ground very imagelessly, laughing and convulsing.
"Haha...... Too...... It's hilarious. Did you see that? Du Jiyan twisted just now...... Ass twisting action wife...... It's hilarious. Liu Yue said intermittently while laughing.
"Haha......" Originally, everyone endured very hard, but the filming was underway. No one dared to laugh out loud about such a serious matter, for fear of disturbing the actors and directors.
Now that someone has taken the lead, everyone can't help it anymore and laughs along. No, there were two more people who didn't laugh. One is the director, and the other is Du Jiyan.
The former saw that this shot was about to pass, how could he laugh when such an accident happened. The latter is the object of ridicule, and naturally cannot be happy.
However, such things as laughter are all too common, especially in the crew of "Love Apartment", which is even more commonplace. Who made its plot and lines so funny.
So Liu Yue laughed, which caused this scene to fail to pass through, even though the director was very annoyed, he didn't scold her. Instead, he shouted over there: "Go on, there's no need to start over after the front, this time I'll play the plot of the time when the door was opened." "In post-editing, it's good to stitch the two pieces together.
But everyone seemed to be laughing, and when they saw Gou Shaoqiang, they couldn't help but want to laugh, and even the director laughed several times. These few seconds of footage have been repeated more than a dozen times, but they have not been repeated. In the end, the director had to announce the suspension of filming for a few minutes, so that everyone could take a break and adjust their mentality.
"It's all too common, and almost every day in each of the three groups. Sometimes it's because of a line, sometimes it's because of an action, sometimes it's because of an expression...... Everyone is used to it. Chen Guoli explained on the side.
"As long as it doesn't interfere with the filming process." Zhu Ziqing nodded in understanding. In his previous life, he had seen tidbits, and he had long been prepared for the situation of laughter.
"Interested in making a cameo?" Chen Guoli said suddenly. (To be continued.) )
