Chapter 122: Filming Daily Life (Part 2)
?“ The tenth scene of three shots, action!"
"Liu'er, as a teacher, I hope that you can be down-to-earth, but as a teacher, I can't take care of you for a lifetime!" Looking at the restless apprentice in front of him, Fa Ming sighed.
Jiang Liu'er caught up: "Master, we are monks, is it just to eat a full stomach every day, what is the difference between that and others?"
Switch to a long shot: on the street of Chang'an City, farmers who go to the city to sell vegetables, food stalls on the street, guys at the door of the hotel, and all kinds of craftsmen......
In just two seconds, the footage shows ordinary people from all walks of life in this metropolis running around for life, plus Fa Ming and Jiang Liuer in the crowd, which is exactly what Jiang Liuer just said.
"Click, over!"
"Prepare for the next shot!" Li Mu commanded.
It's been more than a week since I came to Hengdian, and the filming went smoothly, the scenes in Chang'an City and the inn are relatively simple, and there have rarely been NG more than ten times.
And Li Muxuan's actors are also in line with the image of the role, needless to say, Ma Shaohua, an absolute veteran actor, more than 30 years of acting experience, from princes and nobles, down to peddlers and pawns, no matter what kind of role is at your fingertips.
Chen Qiaoen has no problem playing a sexy and bewitching snake spirit.
Lin Zichong starred in Zhu Bajie's true colors.
And Deng Chao spent half of his time grinning.
As for the two protagonists, they are more or less problematic, but after a week of filming, they have also adapted to their respective roles.
Peng Yuyan's previous performance was too easy, but fortunately, it was not stupid, and with Li Mu's guidance, he quickly found his state.
Shi Xiaosong just thought the opposite, maybe he had been studying in the Shaolin Temple School under militarized management since he was a child, and he was somewhat restrained when filming, Jiang Liuer's innocence, kindness, sensibility, and bravery, but he didn't reflect Jiang Liuer's kind of naughty mischievous people of the same age.
Li Mu doesn't have a good way to do this, this is Shi Xiaosong's character since childhood, and he can't change it for a while, Li Mu can only let him play with the children in the crew when he is not filming, and he will shoot again when he is tired of playing and crazy about playing, not to mention, this effect is not bad, at least he is more lively than before.
Next, the crew prepared the next shot, and the photographer began to position the camera according to Li Mu's requirements.
Assistant director Qin Pengfei is also arranging group performances to stand up for their respective seats.
The other lighting groups and props groups are also busy with their own work.
Half an hour later, everything was ready.
"Photography... Lamplight... Prop... Ready, actors in place!"
"Ten shots, four shots, action!"
"Of course it's different, this fate is just the beginning of becoming a high monk!" Fa Ming began his daily education.
As soon as Jiang Liu'er heard this, she knew what the master was going to say.
"Meditation, chanting, Zen meditation, not arrogant, not impatient, leisurely. The voices of the master and apprentice were very synchronized.
"Do you think the teacher is doing well soon?" Fa Ming said, turning his head and spreading his hands.
The camera zooms in, giving Fa Ming a close-up of a second, from top to bottom, empty bowls, patched monk's robes, and torn cloth shoes.
Jiang Liu'er didn't quite agree with the master's idea, and said worriedly: "But there are mountain demons everywhere outside, and chanting scriptures can't scare them away." ”
The camera zoomed out again, and the sky of Chang'an City suddenly darkened during the day, as if to indicate that something big was about to happen.
......
"All departments prepare, eleventh scene, one shot, action!"
"I want to learn how to punch and kick well, and fight the mountain demon!" Jiang Liu'er put on a fighting stance.
However, before the action was finished, Li Mu called a stop.
"Click, do it again!"
Departments re-prepare.
"Click, do it again!"
"Click!"
...
This shot was NG five times in a row, and everyone was a little puzzled, as if there was nothing wrong with it!
Chen Qiaoen didn't play during the day during this time, so he kept watching behind the monitor, and said with some doubts: "Mr. Li, is there any problem, Xiao Song's acting is very good, you see that his actions are very professional!"
Li Mu sighed and said: "I stopped because I was too professional, Jiang Liu'er in the movie didn't learn kung fu, how could he pose so professionally, what I need is to use Jiang Liu'er's clumsy movements to show his bravery and kindness." ”
Chen Qiaoen came to his senses: "So that's the case, filming and drills are really different, every action has a deeper meaning!"
Li Mu explained with a smile: "A complete commercial movie is generally about 90 minutes, and in order to tell a complete story within this minute, you must grasp every second, every shot, any line, a background or even a look has its meaning." ”
"Do the two long shots just now also have a special meaning?" Chen Qiaoen remembered that there was a long shot in the two shots he had taken before.
"That's right, otherwise why did I design those two shots, is it to show the audience the scenery of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Li Mu continued: "The first long shot is a panoramic view of the street, echoing Jiang Liu'er's previous words through the ordinary people who have to run around in order to make a living, and that shot also includes them, indicating that they are also part of this multitude!"
"But ordinary viewers won't think about it, and the audience won't care about this two-second shot, I won't pay so much attention when I watch the movie!" Chen Qiaoen still didn't understand it.
"That's right, most viewers won't think about it, but with or without this lens, the audience's feeling in their eyes is different, and sometimes some inconspicuous plots are often the key, although they have nothing to do with the plot, they are indispensable. Li Mu patiently explained.
"I probably understand what you say, but Mr. Li, how can you know so much if you haven't studied filming?" Chen Qiaoen nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked again.
She is very strange that she is a person who has been filming TV series for seven or eight years and doesn't know things, how can Li Mu, a "layman" who has been in the industry for less than a year, know so much.
Li Muleng paused for a moment, Chen Qiaoen didn't say that he hadn't found out yet, since he started to be a director, he seems to know all the details of shooting, not like a newcomer at all, when he filmed "Star You" before, he could also say that the TV series was easy to shoot, and there was a professional like Xu Zheng by his side.
But now that "The Return of the Great Sage" has been filmed for a week, Li Mu has not encountered any problems, and he often reacts immediately in his mind when something happens during the filming.
Could it be that there are too many movies and TV series in his head? Li Mu shook his head secretly.
It's strange to say, it's been almost a year, and the memory of film and television dramas in his mind has not weakened at all, and he can recall the complete plot with just a little recall.
