Chapter 8: How could it be so fast!

Tao Quduo has always felt that newcomers are unreliable, especially newcomers who have not undergone systematic learning and formal training, well, he is alluding to He Mu.

Does he know how to keep it in the painting and not get out of the painting? Does he know where to go? Will he be so frightened when he faces the camera that he doesn't know how to walk? This was all Director Tao's worries, but after the official start of filming, the effect was beyond his expectations.

The first shot of the whole film is the protagonist Wang Ke sitting on the floor against the bed with a look of fear on his face, and then he turns on his old desktop computer and begins to write the article.

Tao Quduo had already told He Mu where to keep his face in and which route to take when walking, but he didn't expect He Mu to finish it successfully the first time. After all, he has to control his facial expressions and ensure the correct position at the same time, Tao Quduo is a strict director, and he has offended the little star when he filmed commercials before, even if the old fritter is in him, he may not be able to pass it, not to mention He Mu, a rookie.

However, after Director Tao shouted "Click", he really couldn't let everyone do it again with his conscience, because He Mu's performance was impeccable, and he didn't make any common sense mistakes that newcomers often made, and he had nothing to say about the performance, which was much more exciting than his first appearance. This, this is really weird, is this kid really a genius in acting?

Director Tao shouted depressedly, "Prepare for the second act."

Hearing that the first scene passed smoothly, He Mu's heart finally let go, and the hard work of careful observation and learning at the shooting site for several months was finally not in vain, and the usual efforts were reflected at this moment, coupled with He Mu's accurate understanding of the character's inner world, this is the perfect first act.

In fact, the happiest thing is not He Mu, but the assistant director, makeup, and lighting, when Tao Qu was the leading actor before, the performance was called a rotten, but Tao Director is still a person who has very strict requirements for his works, whenever he returns to the monitor from the camera, he is always dissatisfied when watching the shooting effect, and then all kinds of reshoots, until he is satisfied, it is common to shoot seven or eight, and there are more than a dozen films, fortunately it is not a film movie, otherwise the production fee is definitely enough for him.

The three staff members suffered deeply, Tao Quduo's performance greatly increased their workload, consumed their efforts, and hit their enthusiasm for labor, but because of the authority of the director, there is no way to speak, how they hope that Tao Quduo can honestly sit in the director's chair.

This change of protagonist gave them hope, "No matter how bad the acting is, it can't be worse than Tao Fun, right?" They had such a mentality, but they didn't expect He Mu to bring them a great surprise, one pass! This scene, which was performed by Tao Qu nine times and was filmed in an hour, passed in one minute!

Tao Quduo is not an idiot in acting, on the contrary, he was born in the directing department and deliberately learned some acting knowledge, and he also took a few classes in the acting class of beautiful women, his problem is that the performance traces are too heavy, and he can see his problems at a glance from the director's standpoint, but he can't grasp it well when acting.

"Sure enough, acting requires talent!" The lighting and makeup artist said with emotion after learning that He Mu was not from a professional class.

In the second act, the camera is placed in the position of the computer, He Mu has to face the camera, and the protagonist needs to complete several expressions while waiting for the computer to turn on.

This time He Mu did not have a single pass, Director Tao grabbed a little flaw, and hit He Mu very proudly, "Usually during movie shooting, the actor's eyes are not good to look directly at the camera, and in the performance, the actor should ignore the existence of the camera, so as to better integrate with the environment." But the character you're playing now isn't a regular character, he's a guy who's on the verge of a mental breakdown, and it's normal for him to do something amazing, which adds to the character's neurotic qualities. ”

"Okay, I'll give it a try." He Mu thought about it and humbly accepted the opinion.

β€œAction!”

Looking directly at the camera, this kind of expression He Mu first thought of Zhou Xun's highly praised shot in "When the Flowers Bloomed", which tested the strength of the performer very much. Combined with his understanding of the characters, He Mu's confused eyes looked at the camera fiddling with Wang Mingfei in front of him through the gray lenses.

The beautiful photographer Wang Mingfei was shocked by He Mu's eyes in the camera, it was hard to imagine that he was just a trick in Hengdian, when did the actor also have this level? !

After looking directly at the camera for two seconds, the computer turned on, and He Mu put his hand down on the keyboard.

"Click" After Tao Quduo shouted to stop, he thought for a while and said, "Xiao Zhao, you move the position of the light barrier backwards, I need the light to be darker, Xiao He's performance is good, let's do another one." ”

The third one passes, and the pursuit of perfection can't be faulted, then, "Next scene!" ”

The staff quietly gave He Mu a thumbs up, and the subtle Wang Mingfei also cast an appreciative look at He Mu, you must know that when Tao Dao was still the starring role, this scene alone was shot no less than 20 times, and it took them most of the night to spend most of their time, it was a waste of their lives, and Director Tao's performance was in stark contrast to He Mu.

Filming continued, and at seven o'clock, the director's wife, Nini, appeared on the set with a boxed lunch, which meant that the break time had arrived.

"Duoduo, it's time to eat." Zhang Jiani handed the lunch box to Tao Dao.

Tao Quduo took it absentmindedly and put it aside, his eyes were still looking at the script, he was surprised to find that more than half of the scenes in the basement scene were completed, and it only took two hours, why, how could it be so fast? He remembers that it was the second day when he was photographed here the previous time!

"Evil Gate, True Evil Gate! …… Woo woo......" Tao Quduo sighed, a chicken leg was stuffed into his mouth, and he saw Zhang Jiani staring at him angrily with beautiful eyes, "Do you eat it or not!" ”

"Eat, eat, eat, eat......" Tao Quduo was busy stuffing rice in his mouth, and he vaguely found that only his lunch box had chicken legs, and it seemed that it was good to let his girlfriend take charge of the food.

He Mu's performance greatly exceeded Tao Quduo's expectations, his performance rarely made mistakes, and his understanding was outstanding, he could fully understand Tao Quduo's professional vocabulary one after another, and the strict requirements for the director could be completed almost perfectly, and even Tao Quduo vaguely felt that they had only worked together for two hours and produced a kind of "tacit understanding".

"Are you really just playing tricks in Hengdian?" Tao Qu wiped the oil on his mouth and asked He Mu after eating.

"I can't lie to you." He Mu responded with a smile.

"I was surprised by your professional performance, have you ever thought about going to film school?" Tao Quduo instinctively thinks that this kind of talent should be accepted by his alma mater.

"I thought about it and took the test, and I took the test for two years, but I didn't get in." He Mu laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

"How so!?"

"It's just my bad luck." He Mu didn't seem to want to mention this topic more, Li Wenhua's mouth moved, and he wanted to brag about how He Mu had passed the first and second examinations domineeringly, and won the praise of the invigilator, but looking at He Mu's face, he still closed his mouth smartly.

Tao Quduo also saw that He Mu didn't seem to want to talk more about this topic, and he didn't force it, he clapped his hands: "It's time to start, everyone works overtime, let's finish this scene tonight, I'll invite you for supper at night!" ”

"Oh yes......" cheered, and He Mu also pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
