Chapter 24: Filming in Progress (5)
"Do you see clearly, the general movement is like this, you can also make appropriate changes according to your own ideas, and you should pay attention to the movements of your eyes and eyebrows, in short, just a requirement, how to be funny, how to jump, how to be cheap. You can practice it several times with your clothes on. β
It didn't take long for Zhou Hui to buy all the coffee and cakes.
"Send a little to everyone, everyone eat something and rest for a while, and then we'll continue in twenty minutes!"
Chen He next to him watched Li Mu's demonstration and practiced on his own, and I have to admit that Chen He's comedy talent is really high, some people are born to make comedy, like Huang Baiming, Chen Baixiang, Mecca, and Xu Zheng, who will be famous in the future, are all innate comedy talents. After Li Mu's guidance, Chen He's dancing is getting better and better, and he is getting cheaper and cheaper, and he has completely reached the level of his impression, and even surpassed it.
"Okay, everyone has rested enough, then let's continue filming, try to finish it early today, but I will invite everyone to a big meal!" Li Mu had to bleed profusely in order to shoot the last two scenes smoothly, and Li Mu's funds have been left so far that there is not much money left, and the damage to films, props, costumes, group performances, lunch boxes, and tools during filming is not a small amount.
"All departments are ready to take the ...... Lamplight...... Music...... Actor, action!"
With the director's order, Chen He started his performance again, and the first time it was decent.
"Click! again. β
The second time was a little better, and the facial expressions were in place.
"Mr. Li, what do you think!" Xu Zheng brought out the part he had just filmed.
Li Mu took a closer look, there was nothing wrong with his movements, and his expression was right, but Li Mu just felt that something was wrong.
"You wait, let me think. Li Mu said.
Seeing that Li Mu was still not satisfied, Xu Zheng had to ask the crew to stop first, and the general people felt a little strange when they looked at it, they felt that Chen He was dancing very funny just now, and they didn't understand what else he was dissatisfied with.
"Teacher Zeng, you just danced very well, cheap and funny, why is Mr. Li still not satisfied!" Sun Yizhou puzzled.
"Yes, Zeng Xiaoxian, you looked as cheap as you did just now, I almost couldn't hold it back!haha......" Lou Yixiao said with a smile.
Although Chen He also thinks that there is no problem with his performance, he is sure that he is already in his best state just now. However, he did not question Li Mu, through these two months of filming, he admired Li Mu more and more, so many funny actions and lines were designed by him, sometimes they didn't play Li Mu well, and they would personally demonstrate to them, and every time they were no worse than them, you must know that they are all graduates of regular acting schools, and they are also among the top five magic drama academies in the country, and Li Mu? A "layman" who has never learned acting at all turned out to be better than several of their college students, which made him have to admire Li Mu.
Li Mu carefully recalled in his mind that there was indeed nothing wrong with Chen He's performance this time, but what was wrong! Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, as if he remembered something.
"Chen He, come over here. Li Mu beckoned to Chen He.
"Mr. Li, what do you think I haven't done enough? Hearing Li Mu call him, Chen He immediately walked over.
"I just thought about it carefully, your performance just now was very good, but something was wrong, Zeng Xiaoxian was no one next to him when he danced this dance, and he didn't know that he was filmed, so his movements and demeanor should be relaxed and natural, not like performing on the stage, purely to express himself, just like each of us sometimes does some very second movements when no one is around, can you understand?" Li Mu said to him.
After hearing this, Chen He thought about it carefully, indeed, when he was acting this part, he was thinking about how to make the audience laugh, and the traces of the performance were too heavy, so he asked Li Mu for advice.
"Then Mr. Li, what do you think I should do?"
"In this way, you first fix all the movements yourself, and think about what kind of demeanor each action should match, and then practice it over and over again according to what you want, and when your movements can be as natural as eating and drinking, let's shoot again!" Li Mu thought for a while and said.
"But in this case, I know how long it will take to practice to meet your requirements, and it would be a waste of time not to go back. Chen He said worriedly.
"It's okay, as long as it can be filmed before noon, then we only have the wedding scene left in the afternoon, let's practice in time, tell me when you're ready." Li Mu said.
After letting him go and practice by himself, Li Mu asked the crew to rest first.
"Director Xu, this short period of time is really troublesome for you, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to shoot the TV series "Love Apartment". Li Mu walked up to Xu Zheng and said.
"Mr. Li, don't be so polite, it's not that we don't have a salary, if you really want to thank Mr. Li, you should also thank Mr. Li Suifeng, we all take money to do things, where are you doing!" Xu Zheng said with a smile.
"Brother Li is Brother Li, you are you, I know that you are very aggrieved as a director, but as a director, you have to put up with me pointing fingers here. But don't blame me, this is my first telephone drama, all my belongings have been smashed into it, I can't afford to fail, and I hope you understand!" Li Mu said sincerely.
Hearing Li Mu's words, Xu Zheng was really moved, to be honest, he was indeed a little aggrieved at the beginning, but then he also figured out how many pounds and taels he had, and it was always good to have the qualifications of a TV series director.
"Mr. Li, don't say that, I don't know my own ability, if it weren't for you, I might not have had the opportunity to make a TV series in my life, if our show is a big hit, maybe someone will ask me to shoot a TV series!" Xu Zheng said.
"I'm relieved to have your words, I believe that this drama will definitely be popular all over the country, and when the time comes, some people will wave checks and ask you to shoot a TV series. Li Mu said.
"Then thank you for your auspicious words!" Xu Zheng said with a smile.
At this time, Chen He came over and interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Mr. Li, Director Xu, I'm ready, let's start!" Chen He said confidently.
"In that case, Director Xu, let's start, finish filming early, rest early, and shoot the wedding scene in the afternoon. Li Mu said.
"All departments are ready, let's continue shooting. β
"Photography...... Lamplight...... Music...... Actors ready!"
"Photography OK!"
"Lights OK!"
"Music OK!"
"The actors are in place!"
βaction!β With Xu Zheng shouting, the shooting continued.
This time, Chen He's performance was much more natural, but just in case, Li Mu still let them shoot one more.
"Okay, we're halfway through today's task, the drama will send the lunch box over, everyone will take a break in place after eating, and I hope everyone will shoot it seriously in the last scene in the afternoon. Li Mu clapped his hands and said to everyone.
It didn't take long for the lunch box to be delivered, and Li Mu fell asleep on the sofa after eating in a hurry. During this time, Li Mu was also too tired, he had to stare at the crew during the day, and he had to watch all the films he had filmed at night, and he only slept four or five hours a day.
Chu Fei on the side saw Li Mu sleeping on the sofa like this and wanted to wake him up and let him go to sleep in the room, but after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't bother him, just went to get a blanket and covered him. It has been two months since she came to Li Mu's side as an assistant, and she knows that Li Mu already knows her relationship with He Yimin, and she clearly remembers what Zhou Hui said to her that day.
"We all know about your relationship with He Yimin, I don't know why Muzi kept you by his side, but it's best not to let me find out that you are doing things in secret, otherwise I will not be polite to you!"
Originally, she was glad that no one knew about her affairs and could start a new life. But Zhou Hui's words were like a thunderbolt in her mind. But Li Mu never mentioned this matter, just regarded it as an ordinary colleague. After such a long time, Chu Fei found that she began to like this big boy who was two years younger than her, he was different from other boys of the same age, with a maturity that did not match his age, but she had always hidden this feeling in her heart, not only because she already had a girlfriend, but more importantly, she felt that she was not worthy of him. It was enough for her to be able to follow him every day and watch him quietly.
Chu Fei didn't notice that her every move was in Zhou Hui's eyes, since she was Li Mu's assistant, Zhou Hui suspected that she was sent by He Yimin, and specially warned her for this. However, after such a long period of observation, he found that Chu Fei did not have any special actions, so he was relieved. But seeing her recent appearance and remembering that she used to be someone else's lover, Zhou Hui was a little suspicious of her purpose for approaching Li Mu. However, he didn't remind Li Mu, he knew that Li Mu was not a person who was tempted so easily, and he had just been secretly observing.
β¦β¦
At half past one in the afternoon, the alarm clock woke Li Mu up, and he was a little surprised when he looked at the blanket on his body, but he didn't ask in detail.
"Everyone woke up and started to do things, everyone hurry up downstairs to decorate the wedding scene, Chu Fei, you call Mr. Chen and ask him if he is ready. Li Mu woke everyone up and said.
With Li Mu's order, everyone moved, and began to move the props that had been prepared before to the garden downstairs.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Chen said that they are about to arrive at the community, and he is ready for the wedding car, dresses and flowers. Chu Fei reported to Li Mu after making the call.
"Then let's go down to meet Mr. Chen!" Li Mu said that he took Chu Fei and rushed to the gate of the community.
When he arrived at the entrance of the community, Li Mu saw the rows of wedding cars at a glance, all the Audi A8 was decorated with red flowers, and Mr. Li and his wife of the Triumph Hotel were sitting in the first car.
