083 Finally came to the set
Today is only the second day of filming for the crew, and a lot of work has not started, and a large number of actors are sitting quietly on the sidelines, boring with their mobile phones to pass the time.
You must know that filming is not based on the plot, but according to the scene.
For example, there are many scenes in the big house, even if the time span is large, they will all be filmed, and the actors will be asked to set the makeup according to the development time, and then they will go to the next place, and when all the scenes are filmed, they will be cut according to the development of the plot.
If you follow the development of the plot, the crew will run for a while and the crew will run west for a while, no one will be able to stand it, and the funds will be consumed very much.
Another way is to shoot the characters with fewer appearances at one time, and then cut them and then typeset them. Otherwise, a small soy sauce character, the first episode appears, the thirty-fifth episode appears, and the finale comes out again, it is impossible to ask the actors to stay in the crew until the finale, and it is impossible to rush back and forth.
Zhang Yong set the first scene in the mansion of the big dyeing workshop, which is the most important place in the entire "Once Upon a Time in Ping'an Town", which basically revolves around the story of the big dyeing workshop. And Zhang Yong's approach is generally to shoot soy sauce roles that are not very important and only appear a few times at one time to reduce the turnover of crew members.
Therefore, the two soy sauce characters He Yizhen and Xu Sixin basically started to set their makeup on the day they came, and they started filming the next day.
Cui Yuyan found the screen, explained her intentions, and after putting her bags away, she went to find Zhang Yong.
An agent of her followed, which increased the cost for the crew, so the first thing I did was to go to the chief director to report, maybe I could add an extra braised egg to the lunch.
"Director Zhang."
She walked over and saw Zhang Yong sitting in a chair. Holding a microphone in his hand, with a rack camera next to him, the assistant director and the drama on the side looked a little nervous, and looked at Zhang Yong sitting on the side from time to time.
Zhang Yong raised his head and saw that it was Cui Yuyan, his face softened slightly, but it was still ugly.
"Because there's something going on. So it's late. Come and say hello to you, it won't bother you. ”
Although it is said that you should try not to talk on the set, it is actually okay. Because the sound is all in post-production, it is impossible to guarantee absolute silence on the set.
"Dayong, find a stool for her."
Zhang Yong glanced at the standing side, holding the board. Hearing Zhang Yong's order, he hurriedly went to find a stool. This scene is so chaotic, it's really not easy to find a stool.
Before Dayong could find a stool, Cui Yuyan stood next to Zhang Yong. Looking over, I immediately knew the reason for his ugly face.
This scene is He Yizhen's scene, because some soy sauce characters will be filmed together. Then it was cut in batches, so this scene took place in the dyeing room. He Yizhen plays an honest, timid and fearful cloth dyeing girl, who was framed for stealing cloth to buy it and was caught.
In fact, He Yizhen only needs to express her fear after being caught, and try her best to defend herself, and there are not many lines, adding up to about a dozen sentences.
Zhang Yong is a person who must be compared, even if it is just a scene of dyeing cloth girls, after it is officially staged, it will not take more than five minutes at all, but he has been stunned for several times; Not only Zhang Yong, but even other actors who played against each other felt impatient. The more this is the case, the more He Yizhen can't enter the role, she keeps sweating in a hurry, and she still needs to bother makeup artists to come over to touch up her makeup.
"As I said, she's not acting material."
Zhang Yong put down the microphone, and the assistant director on the side hurriedly ran over, and said to He Yizhen again.
"She's still very young, just hone it slowly, no one becomes a god in a day."
Although she can also see it, as He Yizhen's agent, she still has to maintain it to the end.
Zhang Yong has lived a long time, and he has dealt with his agent countless times, how could he not hear the words in these scenes; He will give a soy sauce role to He Yizhen in order to win over Cui Yuyan, so if He Yizhen does worse, it means that Cui Yuyan owes him more.
"Anyway, now I use digital film, not film film, and the cost has been reduced a lot, so I will spend a little time, but other actors don't have this patience."
Zhang Yong's tone was very casual, but Cui Yuyan knew the strictness of this.
He Yizhen's scene, after being planted and stealing cloth, was dragged to the ancestral hall, and the old housekeeper interrogated, the old housekeeper played by an evergreen tree in the industry, quite prestigious, and often played some heavy supporting roles. And in this scene, the old housekeeper has a lot of lines and expressions, and the NG again and again directly grinds out the old housekeeper's temper.
"I know what Director Zhang means, let's stop first, everyone is tired, this will not achieve the effect."
Cui Yuyan has been filming for ten years, and she is no stranger to the set at all, and she knows what to do.
Zhang Yong raised his head and glanced at Cui Yuyan, a yellow-haired little girl, her tone was not small, she dared to ask him to stop, who is the director here?
But looking at Cui Yuyan's skillful and resolute expression, Zhang Yong thought, this yellow-haired girl is not simple.
Anyway, it's almost noon, and everyone's thoughts are starting to wander, this is just the first day of filming, and people's hearts haven't settled down yet, and they can't be in a hurry.
Zhang Yong said a word to the drama manager on the side, and the drama manager trotted over and shouted: "Cut!" Break at noon and continue at 2 p.m. ”
"Come with me to dinner."
Zhang Yong stood up and said to Cui Yuyan, poor Dayong finally found the stool, but it was already over.
Cui Yuyan nodded, her eyes still stayed on the set, and then fell on Xu Sixin.
Even if it is just an ordinary dyeing girl, it is undeniable that she is the most beautiful among them, He Yizhen is not half as good as her, she also looked at Cui Yuyan with cold eyes.
Compared with other actors' box lunches, the director's food is good, at least there is a small stir-fry, it is now July, and there are many crews filming here in the film and television city, all in order to catch the last train at the end of the year, and it is already very good to be able to eat a small stir-fry.
Eating on the same stage, in addition to Zhang Yong, there are also Dayong, the deputy director and the two field reporters, all of whom are more important people.
After they sat down, they saw Zhang Yonglai and Cui Yuyan coming, thinking that they were some important people, they all stood up, smiled at Cui Yuyan friendly, and handed each other business cards; Working here, connections are more important than anything else, and getting to know a few more people is definitely not a bad thing.
But Cui Yuyan looked too young, and the immature aura on her face had not faded, which made several people present a little puzzled.
"I don't know what Miss Cui does?"
One of the scene reporters couldn't help but ask, the work of the scene notes is very fragmented, but it is very important, responsible for the shooting of the shots, the dialogue of the actors' movements, as well as the sound effects, sets, props, etc., all of which must be recorded in detail for the editing and distribution of shots in the later stage.
Because it is related to the footage of the final work, it is often overlooked by the actors.
"I'm He Yizhen's agent, her first time filming, I'll follow to take a look."
Cui Yuyan said truthfully, and immediately felt that the enthusiasm subsided, but their doubts gradually increased, not an important person, but why did Director Zhang specially ask her to come over for dinner together.
Faced with all kinds of doubts in her eyes, Cui Yuyan calmly picked up a green vegetable and ignored it. (To be continued)
