The indoor scene of the happy ghost's previous life was filmed in a room at the back of the temple, and after filming, the following scenes are still scenes in the temple, and it is inconvenient for the crew to run back and forth, so it is naturally good to finish filming the scenes of a filming location at one time.

This plot is the scene of ten young boys and girls hiding from the rain in the temple.

Ten people are filming movies for the first time, Chen Lang is okay, after all, he has experienced many shots, and he has no stage fright, but he is a little worried about his acting skills, although Zhong Chuhong explained a lot of shooting points and skills to Chen Lang, but it is all on paper, and Chen Lang, who has not practiced, is still unknown.

However, seeing the nervousness of the three young leading actors, as well as his classmates and sisters, Chen Lang could even feel that their bodies were stiff, so he had to say, "I'll tell you a joke." ”

The nine people all looked at Chen Lang with puzzled expressions, but the stiffness on their faces still did not dissipate.

"When I was a hero, there was a girl who was willing to lose her life for me, and she was determined to say: If you pester me again, I will die.

When I went out to promote, there was a girl who was willing to wait for me to the next life, and she said gently and tactfully: You want to be my boyfriend, wait for the next life.

When I was poor, there was a girl who was willing to go to Huangquan with me, and her eyes were red and she said, "If you don't pay me back, I will die with you." ”

The nine people didn't react for a moment when they heard this, and after thinking for a while, they laughed.

Seeing that everyone was relaxed, Chen Langcai continued, "It's the first time for everyone to make a movie, and it's inevitable that I'm a little nervous, but the director also said that this is a campus comedy, everyone just needs to show their usual state when they are in school, and there is no difficulty at all in performing in pure nature, even if it's wrong, I just have money, and it takes more money to hand in the papers." ”

"That's right, anyway, Lang Lang is a big boss with so much money, it's nothing to waste some." Chen Jian echoed with a smile.

The rest of them smiled and nodded.

"Okay, are the nine classmates ready?" Wang Jing asked.

"Alright." "Ready, director."

At this time, the film crew came to the outside of the temple, and there were three water wheels in different directions next to it, which were used for artificial rainfall.

At this time, the scene reporter finally got his props and came to the camera, "The first shot of the third scene of "Happy Ghost" is the first time, smack! ”

As soon as the words of the scene note fell, three water wheels spewed water, and the camera shot below, which looked like it was raining, and then the five girls trotted all the way over.

Running at the front was Lin Qingqing, played by Luo Mingzhu, who ran to the camera and pretended to fall down all of a sudden.

"Click!"

Wang Jing shouted, "Pay attention to Lin Qingqing, you have run outside the camera." ”

"I'm sorry director, I'm sorry director." Luo Mingzhu was very frightened when she heard this, after all, it was her first time filming, and she was afraid that she would not act well and anger the director.

"Okay, do it again, this time with attention." Wang Jing didn't say anything serious, and waved his hand to signal to do it again.

Chen Lang walked up to Luo Mingzhu and comforted, "Don't worry, if Wang Fatzi dares to scold you, I will fire him and change the director." ”

Luo Mingzhu smiled when he heard this, and quickly concealed his fear of being seen by Wang Jing, seeing Chen Lang's gentle eyes, he nodded, "I was too nervous just now, I forgot, I won't be this time." ”

"Okay, then come on." Chen Lang nodded and pulled up Luo Mingzhu, who was still sitting on the ground.

"The second shot of the third scene of "Happy Ghost", smack!"

This time, Luo Mingzhu happened to run in front of the camera before falling, and the other four girls were relatively simple, just passing in front of the camera, but Wang Jing still "click!" ”

"What are the lines you are going to say when the four of you run over? Why did you run all over without lines? ”

It's embarrassing to change the other four girls this time, it's the first time, it seems that Chen Lang's jokes are not so big.

I had no choice but to do it again.

"The third scene of "Happy Ghost" is the third time, the first shot, the third time, smack!"

Luo Mingzhu fell in front of the camera again.

"Be careful." Li Lizhen said.

"Hurry up, we'll be waiting for you in front." Chen Yundao.

"You can take it and come here." Lin Shanshan said.

"No one came to help, really." Luo Mingzhu said.

"Hurry up." Li Lizhen said.

"Alright." Luo Mingzhu said.

This scene was finally completed, and the five girls were relieved, but they didn't seem to have heard the director say it, and everyone looked at Wang Jing.

Wang Jing said, "Luo Mingzhu, your things have fallen out." 'Why is this line missing?' ”

Luo Mingzhu slapped his forehead when he heard this, and missed a line, "I'm sorry director, I, I forgot." ”

"The director is not good at me, I said it too fast, Mingzhu didn't have a chance to say the lines." Li Lizhen also stood up and admitted her mistakes.

Wang Jing raised his face and said angrily, "You have to shoot such a simple scene so many times, do you have no intentions, you don't want to play too many people." ”

As soon as Wang Jing's words came out, the whole crew was silent, Luo Mingzhu and Li Lizhen were frightened and a little at a loss, Chen Lang wanted to say a few words when he heard this, but was stopped by Wang Jing's eyes, Chen Lang had to keep silent.

"Give you five minutes, shoot in five minutes, and if you do it again, don't act." Wang Jing said angrily.

Luo Mingzhu and Li Lizhen were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, the four boys who were watching the excitement on the side were still laughing at these girls for acting too badly just now, if they were sure to do it once, now seeing Wang Jing's appearance, they also felt nervous, and began to worry about their performance for a while.

"Fat Wang, isn't it too harsh?" Chen Lang walked over and asked in a low voice.

"I deliberately need to be encouraged and tolerant, but a certain amount of sternness is also necessary, so that they can always be in awe and take every scene seriously. If you become a director in the future, you must be able to shake the scene, otherwise the filming of the crew will be very troublesome. Wang Jing said.

Chen Lang nodded as if he didn't understand.

After five minutes, it turns on again.

This time, the five girls were very serious, and the camera was completed at one time, but Luo Mingzhu seemed to be frightened, and her movements were a little stiff, and the other four just ran by, and there was no big problem.

The five girls looked at Wang Jing nervously, but Wang Jing smiled, "This time is good, but I have to do it again so that it can be used for editing." ”

Hearing that they didn't make a mistake this time, the five girls finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then ran again, ready to do it again.

"Dead fatty, you haven't even turned it on."

"Deliberately, it's a waste to open it, didn't I save you money, it's much better now, it seems that it can be passed in one go."

turned on the camera, and when they shot again, the five girls were much more relaxed, and this time Luo Mingzhu's movements were much softer and no longer stiff.

"Over!"

This shot is finally over, and the five girls are also liberated.

Chen Lang was a little puzzled, this relatively simple shot was shot for nearly an hour, even if the crew became more and more tacit, the whole movie was ninety-five minutes, and a lot of spare and waste film had to be added, this scene would take at least two or three months, I really don't know how those movies that were shot in ten or even seven days were done.

Next, filming the scenes of ten young boys and girls in the temple, Chen Lang performed averagely, not outstanding, but passed smoothly, and the four boys who were laughing at the five girls before either ran out of the camera, or forgot their lines, or stumbled when they were in a hurry, and the result naturally attracted Wang Jing's anger.

Because there are a lot of dialogues in this scene, the filming was also intermittent, and the filming was not finished until noon.

Chen Lang felt that it was not going well, Wang Jing patted Chen Lang instead, "Don't worry, Lang Lang, everyone is not familiar with it now, and soon when everyone is familiar with it, the tacit understanding will come up, and the filming will be fast, this drama is very simple, I estimate that it will not be able to finish filming in a month." ”

Chen Lang didn't know what to say when he heard this, he saved himself a lot of money after filming in a month, but is a month too fast, many movies in the 80s were shot between more than a month and two months, and those shoddy productions ended in two or three weeks.

This is related to the fact that the number of movie theaters is sufficient at this time, and there are not enough movie screenings, and the number of movies is insufficient, resulting in many big-name and first-line actors having nine groups a day.

The general short shooting cycle of Hong Kong crews is also to grab the schedule, not only to grab the schedule of big-name stars, but also to grab the prime time of the theater, so everyone is grabbing, which also causes the phenomenon of flying paper boys.

The so-called flying paper boy is that the crew did not have a complete script before filming, and after the start-up, they could only wait for the screenwriter to pass the script to be filmed that day before shooting.

Every day's scripts are created and completed temporarily, such as Cheng Xiaodong's filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and Liu Weiqiang's filming of "Crazy Boy" are all waiting for Tsui Hark and Wen Jun's "Flying Paper Boy", and Wang Jing is also making Flying Paper Boy for TVB's TV crew at this time.

This approach reflects the nature of Hong Kong's film commercialization, which is characterized by its rapidity, mobility, flexibility, and improvisation. This feature not only laid the foundation for the extreme prosperity of Hong Kong films, but also laid the groundwork for the rapid decline of Hong Kong films.

Now is the beginning of the prosperity of Hong Kong films, and it is the grand occasion of schedules and other films, Hong Kong filmmakers are mostly in a group of dramas at the same time, just shoot with their heads bored, there is no need to worry about losing money at all, and the improvisational, flexible, fast, and speculative shooting advantages have also become the main reason for the sharp increase in Hong Kong film production and the sharp decline in quality in the next few years.
