Chapter 43: Wonderful Performance
As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure.
This is fully reflected in Wilton's body.
Don't look at him as a first-time producer, and he is still in such a hurry to prepare for the filming of the film, but he just has a way to do everything on time.
And no matter how hard he tried, how many favors he had, and how much hardship he suffered, he never complained in front of Tang Feng.
Instead, he was content with that, "Sean, you know, I feel like I'm a teenager younger these days, and I'm full of energy. ”
Tang Feng looked at the busy crowd with satisfaction, gave him a thumbs up, and praised half-jokingly: "Originally, I was still a little worried, afraid that the time was too tight and I couldn't start filming on time." I didn't expect you to actually do it, so good! Lao Wei! ”
"Now it seems that you are really suitable to be a producer, why don't you take a stake in my company in the future, and we can do it together."
"Then I don't have to worry about these trivial things, I can concentrate on making my movie, I feel very comfortable thinking about it, haha."
"How, think about it?"
Although Tang Feng was telling the truth, he didn't take it seriously.
Wilton already mixed well, had his own company, and had ambitious new businesses, so there was no need to toss with him.
Besides, they are also very different in age, if you only talk about age and seniority, how can he follow Wilton to eat. But everyone is familiar with it now, and they will often make innocuous jokes, and no one will take it seriously.
After joking, he took Pete and Monica to familiarize himself with the venue.
Before the official start of filming, the actors need to familiarize themselves with the venue first, and then rehearse the lines a few times.
At this time, the director needs to guide and check on the side, which is what everyone often calls drama.
The most important thing is for them to understand what kind of scene they are in, what kind of role they are playing, and what emotions, words and expressions they should use to complete the following performance.
The first two rehearsals didn't work well, Monica's performance was okay, but her expression was not rich enough, and the dialogue seemed a little stiff.
Pete is a little stage frightened, it seems that it is the first time to play against a beautiful woman, and he is always a little unable to let go.
After pondering for a while, Tang Feng said to the two: "You have all read the script, and there is nothing wrong with the lines, but the emotions are a little wrong." ”
"In fact, we can divide this scene into two parts to understand."
"This is your first time meeting, and Monica has already received the news that Pete is the killer, so show nervousness and vigilance at first."
"But at the same time you're curious about him, so you talk to him in a conflicted mood. Yes, your eyes are very important, and you have to show these emotions one by one, and I don't think it will be too difficult for you. ”
"Pete, during the conversation, you don't know anything about what you're going through, and you have to sell yourself as if nothing happened."
"In this process, it's best to bring a little ruffian, for example, when you talk to her, you can show off your talent, or play handsome or something."
"At this time, you have to express your appreciation and interest in her, and after she refuses, you have to show that you want to stay for the sake of eating."
"You have to do everything you can to convince her, so look in your eyes with sincerity and some supplication."
Pete's understanding is still good, and he immediately heard what Tang Feng meant, and asked, "You mean to say, let me try to seduce her while talking to her, right?" ”
Tang Feng nodded and glanced at Monica, who was flushed, "Yes, you're right, it's seduction!" ”
"If you don't let her be curious and liking for you, how can she be willing to keep you?"
"Well, it's not just a simple seduction, you have to bring your true emotions, don't be too explicit, it will be counterproductive."
"Monica, when he tries to seduce you, you have to respond to him accordingly, with a look of shyness and a hint of longing."
"Yes, it's like this, showing that you are attracted by his handsome appearance, a little shy, and a little tempted."
Listening to what he said, Monica was so ashamed that her neck turned red, and she moved her sexy lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Just blushing, he quickly glanced at the handsome Pete, and then nodded slightly, which was so charming.
Seeing her desire to refuse and be ashamed, Tang Feng suddenly felt a dry mouth, "It is worthy of being a peerless star who can amaze the whole world!" Just one expression is enough to make people's blood run wild. ”
Looking at Pete again, his performance is even worse than Tang Feng's, and he is staring at Monica with a dull face.
"Ahem, ahem, how to play this paragraph, you all know it, right?"
Tang Feng was still very sensible, and felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, as if his set had become a Queqiao Club, so he immediately coughed dryly twice, interrupting the two people who had entered a certain ambiguous state.
Then, in a serious tone, he said, "Next, it's very simple. ”
"With Pete's persuasion, Monica is somewhat convinced that you are just a wandering singer and asks you to do an impromptu performance."
"Pete, at this point, you do what the script says, take out your guitar, and start the live performance."
The next two rehearsals, the effect was better than the first, and seeing that they had finally entered the state, Tang Feng immediately decided to officially start filming!
"Yanush, how are you ready?"
Yanusz replied excitedly: "No problem, I am ready, I can start at any time." ”
Tang Feng nodded, and then asked Affleck, who was the camera assistant, and the rest of the crew, and seeing that they had no problems, he finally instructed again.
"Yanush, you're in control of the main camera, and the whole shot has to be Monica at the center. When the guide rail moves, pay attention to the depth of field, not too big and not too small, and try to be real and natural. ”
"Let's take a long shot first, and then make up the close-ups of the two of them."
"Ready!"
"Ready!"
Damon, as the field manager, also took on the important responsibility of the field worker at this time, personally played the board, and after reporting the scene number, there was a soft sound with a "click".
Tang Feng solemnly shouted: "Action! ”
Then I saw Monica, who played the role of the barmaid, walked into the bar, looked at Pete sitting on the high chair, and asked calmly: "This gentleman, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
Pete, who had already entered the state, immediately showed a stunned look, and praised exaggeratedly: "Wow, you are definitely the most beautiful proprietress I have ever seen, it's so beautiful!" ”
Monica blushed, and then responded with beautiful eyes and amorous feelings: "Thank you for the compliment, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”
Pete gave full play to his romantic grace, and saw him caress the long hair on his forehead, and then pretended to be chic: "Actually, I am a wandering singer, all the way from the east to here, just to pursue the dream in my heart." ”
"I need a job right now, and I think I can be the resident singer here if you want to."
"Of course, if you like music as much as I do, I'd love to be your personal singer and sing for you alone."
This is already a clear hint, and under the influence of his handsome appearance and magnetic voice, Monica gradually enters the state.
And the way he looked at Pete, his eyes gradually changed from calm and natural, to appreciation, and then to confusion.
But when she was admiring the handsome guy in a daze, she inadvertently saw the black guitar case standing on the edge of the high chair, and immediately pointed to the guitar case in horror, and asked nervously: "This, is this yours?" ”
Pete didn't seem to notice the situation, turned his head to look at the guitar case, and then said nonchalantly, "Of course, I eat on it, do you want to see it?" ”
Then, he added in a flirtatious voice, "If you have time, I will play the most beautiful music in the world for you." ”
Realizing that he might be the killer who was ordered to kill, Monica immediately said seriously and coldly, "I'm sorry, I already have a resident singer here, please get out of here quickly." ”
I thought there was no problem, but I didn't expect to be ruthlessly rejected, and Pete's face was suddenly full of incredulity, "Really? Oh no, please don't do that, I'm just trying to get a job. ”
"I'm tired, I'm not very demanding, I just want to fill my stomach and then have a big warm bed so I can get a good night's sleep."
As he spoke, he made a pitiful expression and pleaded with Monica, "Please, I'm not a bad person." ”
"I need your help now, really, really, very much."
Monica was already a little moved, and she didn't want to believe that a handsome guy who made her so tempted would be an extremely dangerous killer!
So he asked tentatively: "You, are you really just a singer?" Didn't you come here for any other purpose? ”
Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Pete hurriedly assured her sincerely: "I swear, I'm really a singer, if you don't believe it, you can look at my guitar." ”
With that, he jerked the guitar case up to the bar and pulled out a worn-out guitar from it.
And Monica cautiously dodged back when he opened the box, this action is very in line with the atmosphere of the scene, the most rare thing is that this is not taught to her by Tang Feng, it is completely her improvisation.
When he saw the guitar he was holding in his hand, he slowly leaned over and took a look at the box. Seeing that there were no weapons inside, Monica let out a long sigh of relief.
seems to be glad that this handsome guy who can make her heart move, is really just a wandering singer as he said.
But after hesitating for a while, she was still a little uneasy, so she decided to confirm further.
"Okay, I'm kind of convinced of what you say now, and it just so happens that my resident singer hasn't arrived yet, so let's start your performance now."
Pete was in high spirits for a while, then confidently picked up the guitar, plucked the strings a few times, and was about to start singing.
“Cut!”
Tang Feng stopped their performance at the right time, and took the lead in standing up and applauding: "Wow, very good, very perfect!" ”
"What a wonderful performance you guys had! It's beyond my imagination! ”
