"How's the preparation going?"

Su Cao put away his mobile phone and asked the executive director beside him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The executive director is a middle-aged man in his forties, named Ning Hangyi, who is very famous in the film and television city, and this time he was specially invited by the bald old six.

"Well, it's almost there, and the sixth is ready!"

Ning Hang looked at the script, nodded, and told Su Cao about the preparation progress.

"Alright, let's get started!"

Su Cao stood up a hundred times in spirit, looked at the preparations of the surrounding departments, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Attention all departments, three-minute countdown, and then prepare to withdraw." ”

At the sound of the order, the staff of various departments became more busy more quickly.

It's been almost a week since the shooting, and it's going very well.

Today's filming is the scene where Alice meets the AI Flame Empress.

There is such a scene in the TV series, but there are no props for the Flame Empress during the filming.

Xie Fang had to complete a series of actions and kill a zombie before he could stand across the table and talk to the Flame Empress.

The whole process of the dialogue is Xie Fang's own performance in front of the camera, which is quite a test of acting skills.

When Su Cao shouted out the one-minute countdown, all the staff members evacuated the filming site one after another.

Xie Fang hung coercion on his back, waiting intently for Su Cao to shout out the two words of start.

"Okay, Xie Fang prepares, all departments pay attention, prepare, start!"

Su Cao shouted, and the field staff next to him immediately took out the clapperboard and "snapped" in front of the camera.

The whole filming location was only the rustle of the camera turning.

When Su Cao shouted out, Xie Fang's expression changed, and he was suddenly ruthless.

In the shot, Xie Fang suddenly rushed out from behind, and a serious-looking zombie with a face covered in blood pounced on her with a howl.

I saw Xie Fang turn sideways, take a step back, and accurately let the zombie pounce into the air, took out a pistol, and shot at the zombie.

After the shooting, Xie Fang inserted the pistol diagonally into the pouch of his thigh, took a few steps forward, and came to a pre-prepared center console.

After pressing his hands on the center console a few times, Xie Fang raised his head suddenly, his eyes showing a frightened expression.

"Stop!"

Before Xie Fang could continue, Su Cao directly shouted to stop.

Standing up, Su Cao came to Xie Fang's side, and the two stood side by side.

"Xiao Fang, you have to take into account that Alice herself is also a staff member, but she doesn't know the existence of the Flame Empress, and the image of this Flame Empress is based on what you did when you were a child, so you should be surprised, confused, confused, suspicious, and so on, combined with various expressions, to be complicated, and with disbelief!"

Standing in front of the center console, Su Cao made a few expressions, his eyes looked surprised, confused, and so on.

"Here, you have to fully figure out the character's mind, so that you are the person, which will be better, and then react according to the normal psychological performance, and try to use expressions and actions to express the character's heart, which is right."

Su Cao talked a lot, and Xie Fang nodded again and again.

Turning his head, Su Cao looked at the photographer behind the camera, and said: "You just got a little bit in the lens, try to control the bottom above the shoulder, catch a close-up of his face, and when the expression appears, try to give one or two close-ups of the shot." ”

"And that zombie, the action you pounced on just now is not fierce, and hesitate, the zombie is unconscious, so after you come out, you quickly pounce on it, because you are playing the role of an evolved virus carrier, the action will be faster."

After talking to the photographer, Su Cao didn't forget to tell the zombie just now.

For the first time, Su Cao, the director, needs to do a lot of things, especially since most of the crew are newcomers, and many things have to be done by himself.

And performing this kind of thing can only be understood, not spoken.

A lot of things are just made clear, and it's useless if you don't perform or go through it.

Su Cao arranged for a makeup artist to make up the zombies here, and Xie Fang had a problem over there.

"Su Cao, come here."

Xie Fang beckoned, and Su Cao stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"You see that I can do a few actions according to the character's heart?"

As he spoke, Xie Fang opened his eyes slightly in front of the center console, and then showed his complex emotions such as confusion, took a step back, and put his hand on the handle of the gun.

"No, no, this kind of subconscious can't be had, because the other party is an artificial intelligence, ontologically speaking, there is no harm, if you do this, you will materialize the other party, it looks too fake, maybe, you can do this?!"

Su Cao kept telling Xie Fang like this.

Generally speaking, the director can't do this, and it will affect the actor's understanding of the role.

As for NG during filming, it requires the actor to better go into the role.

But Xie Fang is a newcomer and doesn't understand a lot of things, so Su Cao can only talk about it little by little and bring her in.

The only fortunate thing is that the "Resident Evil" they filmed belongs to the science fiction genre, and many things need to be synthesized in post-production.

Make an expression on one or two props or the curtain in the early stage.

If it is replaced with a war theme, or other large-scale scenes, the cost of NG alone is enough for Su Cao to have a headache.

And these are all things that Su Cao, who is a first-time director, needs to face.

Although he understands many things, he is still a new director, and many things need to be experienced in person, such as the placement of props, details, actors' expressions, shots, lighting, etc.

He is needed almost everywhere, and this is also a compulsory course for every director.

These are all obstacles for Su Cao to be a director, and he has to overcome these things little by little.

"Okay, okay, let's get ready, and the filming will officially start in half an hour."

Su Cao's reminder made everyone applaud immediately.

This is the principle of being a person, filming is certainly tiring, but practical problems must be considered.

As a director, he is not only the brain of the crew, but also the leader, and he must be considered for everyone everywhere.

With a long breath, Su Cao was finally able to rest for a while, and returned to sit next to the small TV dedicated to watching the camera.

Comparing some of the words he just said with what he had taught him before, Su Cao found a lot of shortcomings.

It seems that you still need to work hard, and the road of directing is very difficult.

And Su Cao also realized that the burden of the script and the director was too big on him.

He often changes the script directly on the spot, and sees some actors' performance inspirations, even if the shot is finished, it may be reshot, which causes the filming time to be greatly lengthened, and the cost rises.

Half an hour later.

"Three, two, one, go!"

Su Cao shouted, and the field affairs sounded the clapper again.

Not far from the center console, Xie Fang suddenly became energetic.

She took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped, jerked to one side, and fell backwards slightly.

I saw a figure rushing directly into the air from his side.

Raising his foot and kicking the zombie's back, Xie Fang took the opportunity to pull out his pistol and shoot directly.

The zombies fell to the ground, blood flowing everywhere.

Glancing sideways at the zombie, Xie Fang was sure that he was really dead, so he inserted the pistol and walked towards the center console.

In front of the center console.

Xie Fang pressed his hands a few times, and suddenly took a step back, his eyes staring at the front tightly, his eyes were complicated, confused, and suspicious......

The complex mood of several emotions intertwined made her vividly expressed.

"Good! Perfect! ”

Su Cao shouted and stood up with a smile, "It's over, it's over!" Ready to eat! ”

The crew cheered.

Only when they have lunch is the most relaxed time for them every day.

After taking the boxed lunch handed to him by the executive director, Su Cao had just eaten a few bites when the mobile phone next to him rang.

Look at the caller ID above, it's Tan Youyou.

"Hey, Yoyo, what's the busy??"

"I didn't do anything, I didn't just learn to make pastries, I made a little plan for you to taste."

Tan Youyou's voice came from the mobile phone, which made Su Cao feel very sweet in his heart.

"Hehe, you're eating, if you're busy, don't come here."

For fear that something would happen to Tan Youyou, Su Cao asked her to rest as much as possible.

"It's okay, I'm almost there, you can wait for me."

While talking to Tan Youyou, Su Cao found that Xie Fang came to his side and asked with a silent mouth, is it Tan Youyou?

Su Cao nodded and said to the phone: "Then you pay attention to safety and drive carefully." ”

"Yes, okay."

On the phone, Tan Youyou said yes before hanging up.

"Yoyo phone??" Xie Fang asked with a smile.

Su Cao nodded, "Well, you will have a good mouth in a while, you have made a pastry, and you can taste it too." ”

"What pastry??"

Wu Bin, who had just finished putting on makeup and was bowing his head to eat a boxed lunch, looked up and asked innocently, "Is there any mine?" I'm not full! ”

"You've eaten three boxes of lunches, and you're not full yet??"

Someone next to him immediately began to complain.

In the crew, there was a burst of laughter.

In the few days they were together, everyone was familiar with each other and knew that Wu Bin was a real person.

Wu Bin scratched his head, not embarrassed at all, "I haven't eaten enough, I can't say this." ”

Looking at Wu Bin, who was confused, Xie Fang and Su Cao looked at each other and smiled.

About ten minutes later, Tan Youyou appeared at the gate of the filming location, carrying a stack of large packaging boxes.

"Su Cao, you eat some pastries first, and then shoot."

Tan Youyou said as he put a stack of boxes in his hand on a cabinet next to him.

Wu Bin stepped forward with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I'll see what is delicious!" ”

"Let's see, I'm sure you're satisfied."

Tan Youyou put the box away and walked towards Su Cao with a handbag.

"How? Went well today?? ”

"Yes, it's okay."

Su Cao saw Tan Youyou take out a very delicate transparent glass bottle from his backpack.

"Oh, you and Xiaofang are one by one, it's delicious, try my craftsmanship."

"What's that??"

Xie Fang has a wide range of knowledge, but he didn't recognize what kind of food Tan Youyou was in his hands.

"Tiramisu, I made it myself, in this transparent bottle, which is easy to refrigerate, can last for three months, and it also looks beautiful."

Since returning from his illness in the United States, Tan Youyou began to learn to cook, and soon mastered a lot of cooking skills.

And West Point was only learned by her when she came to Songhai, after all, she is only responsible for financial and accounting matters, which is relatively easy.

"Well, let's have a taste."
