Chapter 33: The Finale
"Brother Zhen, Lian Jin, this is the last set of shots in the movie, are you ready?" Ning Hao looked at Xu Zhen and Lian Jin, and said, "After filming this set of shots, you can call it a day." ”
The last set of shots is in an office, the battle of life and death between the killer Mike played by Lian Jin and Feng Dong played by Xu Zhen.
Lian Jin was dressed in a black night suit, and only one mouth and eye appeared on his head. In the small room, confronting Feng Dong, one holding a utility knife in his hand, and the other holding a bow and crossbow.
This is already the twenty-sixth day after the filming of the movie started, and Sister Du on one side is holding the DV dedicatedly, and on the other side is Zhou Xian, who is a little tired and emaciated, holding a fill light board.
These days, the entire crew has not rested for a moment, after all, every extra day in ZQ is tens of thousands of expenses, and venue rent, food and accommodation need to be spent in vain.
These days, the progress is being completed day by day, and there are many problems encountered during the shooting, but fortunately, they have been overcome one by one along the way, and they can't stop Ning Hao's pace.
The filming has finally reached this last moment, as long as this set of shots is completed, the whole shooting is done!
In the script, here because of a misunderstanding that Mike killed Feng Dong, the real boss who hired him, the whole process is absurd and full of black humor, which is also the tone of the whole Crazy Stone.
In the next shot, after the two confronted each other, Mike and Feng Dong shot at the same time, one shot the pen mounted on the crossbow into Mike's chest, and the other slashed the utility knife through Feng Dong's neck.
This is a set of almost mime performances without dialogue, all relying on the demeanor and body of the actors. The most important thing is that the camera will be 1.5 times slower than the normal shot, so take slow motion into account when performing.
This paragraph can be said to be a climax and end of the whole plot.
The previous continuous narrative, stacking, is going to produce a catharsis and explosion point here, so that the audience can be stunned and smile after the excitement, and the control of this rhythm depends on the actor's grasp in addition to the director's editing.
From the stagnation after Xu Zhenzhong's knife, and then he fell weakly, all in one go.
There is a problem here, that is, after being stabbed, blood lines appeared on the neck, and then Xu Zhen fell to the ground, the kind of facial expression that was on the verge of death, there is a sense of pause and time and space stillness, which can not be done by slowing down the camera, and the actor needs to control this degree.
After trying a few times, Xu Zhen's performance was normal at a normal speed, but once it slowed down, it was a little uncoordinated, and the effect was not too good, and Xu Zhen even suffered a little injury in the action of falling to the ground.
Ning Hao frowned, there was a special effect to increase the blood line in the later stage, and the others didn't feel it, but Ning Hao had the best solution, so he knew that the current performance was not perfect.
Just knowing the finished effect, Ning Hao can't explain how the kind of slowed down shot can be expressed in normal time.
In the end, after Xu Zhen communicated with Ning Hao, he understood, and then in the next performance, he artificially controlled the speed of his movements and performed at a slower rhythm than usual.
When Xu Zhen fell to the ground again, Ning Hao also fell on the floor, behind the DV machine, looking at the display, he shouted: "Okay, this shot is over!"
Although it looks very strange under normal lenses, when Ning Hao finished shooting, after slowing down, it turned out to be natural!
"Awesome!" Ning Hao gave a thumbs up, and had to obey the professional accomplishment of the old actor.
Xu Zhen on the side also clenched his fists, and there was a hot current surging in his heart, and he shouted loudly: "The last shot, finish!"
"It's over, it's over!" even Jin Jin was excited to pull out the pen prop on his chest, and stood up with excitement on his face.
Sister Du also breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes and twisted her eyebrows, opened her eyes with a smile, and was full of satisfied smiles under exhaustion.
"It's over! The movie is over! We've made it!" Ning Hao also stood up from the ground, clenched his fists and waved hard, and shouted: "Yay!"
With Ning Hao's shouting, the rest of the crew also rushed in from outside the house and surrounded Ning Hao in the middle.
"Perfect, I'm so excited! I can't believe it, we really ended the shoot perfectly! We really did it! These days are like living in a dream. Ning Hao looked at Huang Bo, Sister Du, and Xu Zhen beside him excitedly, and shouted excitedly, "Thank you, thank you so much." Worked hard these days. ”
Ning Hao stretched out his hands and hugged the nearest Sister Du, patted the other party, and thanked him sincerely: "Sister Du, thank you, you took a picture so well!"
Sister Du also laughed and said with great relief: "I also thank you for allowing me to participate in such a wonderful script." ”
Letting go of Sister Du, Ning Hao looked at Huang Bo on the side with a smile again, and his tone was extremely sincere: "Brother Bo, thank you, thank you very much." You've done a great job. You also gave me a lot of help throughout the movie, and you also invited me Brother Zhen, I really don't know how to thank you, that's all there is to it, thank you!"
Huang Bo patted Ning Hao's back, very calm, smiled faintly, and said in a magnetic voice: "Ning Hao, it's a great honor to be able to participate in your script, I have a feeling that this time I really followed the right person." ”
Huang Bo hugged Ning Hao again, "If there is a film in the future, you must think of me, where I can, I Huang Bo will definitely go all out." It was a pleasure to work with you. ”
"Me too. Ning Hao also hugged Huang Bo, the two separated, and glanced at each other again, their eyes were full of tacit understanding and mutual appreciation.
Suddenly, a vicissitudes of life male voice sounded on the other side: "It's amazing, I actually became a male protagonist once, wow, I even let the famous Xu Zhen play for me." What a blessing. Guo Tao said sincerely, "Seriously, these days are really fulfilling and happy, you can film seriously every day, and you can perform in front of the camera every day." I love this job and thank the director for giving me this opportunity. ”
"Yes, acting against Brother Tao and Brother Bo every day really benefited me a lot, and this month's work made me realize that I still have a long way to go and still a lot of things to carve. Liu Hua also sighed on the side, although he was the oldest among everyone.
But acting knows no age.
"I can't imagine that tomorrow I'm going to go back to my old life. Zhou Xian, who didn't speak on the side, suddenly came to sigh, there was already a kind of joy that he could get rid of the sea of suffering, and when he thought of separating, the joy was gone, and he said a little sadly: "Every day in college before, I either played games with my roommate in the dormitory or fell in love with my little sister in the grove, which was really boring." ”
"Yes, I'm going to start my career again, when will I be able to shoot so many shots. Huang Bo was also a little unconvinced, and whispered a few words.
Seeing that the atmosphere became a little sad, Ning Hao walked to the window of the room, rolled up the curtains, and the warm light spilled in at once, the room was bright, Ning Hao shouted half-jokingly at the window: "Brothers, don't worry, as soon as my movie is released, even if you can't become a big star like Brother Zhen, you can still get a lot of opportunities." ”
Huang Bo and Liu Hua both laughed, but Sister Du on the side had a somewhat solemn face, after all, he was a senior employee of Maverick Galloping, this movie was the last straw that Ning Ling was ready to crush Ning Hao, how could he be allowed to release it easily and release it?
