Chapter Twenty-Five: The Short Film Starts Shooting
Li Huihui and a few of her classmates came to visit once, and then Zhou Chunwang took a few of them to visit several other filming locations. The pen is www.biquge.info interesting, and several people are a little embarrassed about Zhou Chunwang asking to pay for them to buy clothes. But Zhou Chunwang said that it was mainly used to make short films.
It's winter now, and many people have started to wear coats. And most of the scenes will be shot in the morning or evening, so it's cold, so you definitely have to wear a jacket when you arrive. Therefore, Zhou Chunwang wanted to buy each of them a jacket, a pair of pants and two long-sleeved tops. At that time, several people went shopping together, but later not everyone bought all the things, and Li Huihui didn't ask for a coat. Zhou Chunwang saw that the coat she was wearing was quite beautiful in itself, so she didn't insist, and only matched her with a scarf and pants.
Meizhu Middle School does not have a school uniform yet, so Zhou Chunwang bought each of them a pair of school pants; Although everyone said that it was not good-looking and a bit earthy, in order to show their student status more clearly and directly, Zhou Chunwang still decided to buy it. In addition, there are clothes such as the robes of the four Tang monks, and Zhou Chunwang also found a style on the Internet for people to customize. I didn't buy a school bag, I had it for every one of them. It's just that Li Weilong's one is relatively old, so it will be replaced with Zhou Chunwang's schoolbag at that time. And Zhou Chunwang has also negotiated the rental of the camera, and Zhou Chunwang will take the money given by his parents as a mortgage, rent it for three to five days, and then settle the settlement.
The makeup artist also found one in the neighborhood, and then followed the group around the clock, and each actor had to be simple. Zhou Chunwang found several beauty salons and negotiated a more affordable one, 700 yuan per day.
At this point, everything was finally ready and Christmas morning was up and running.
Although there were more scenes in the morning, because it was the first day of shooting, they came into contact with this for the first time, so Zhou Chunwang did not let them come at six or seven o'clock, but set it until nine o'clock. The first scene is also intended to start from the first time the hero and heroine meet at the staircase.
So they all arrived at Zhou Chunwang's residence on time to gather, and the makeup artist first put on makeup for the hero and heroine, and then started filming.
In addition to Li Huihui and the four actors, Caizhen and Liyun also came. and Zhou Chunwang's tablemate Lin Xinrong was also there, because Zhou Chunwang wanted him to help with chores, and by the way, he made a cameo appearance in a small role. There are not many roles for the male squad leader, and Owensong will also help with the lighting and clearing the scene.
Now that everyone is ready, Zhou Chunwang asked everyone to stop talking, and Lin Xinrong took out the clapperboard and started playing the board.
"Everyone, please be quiet, "Goodbye Meitang Station" starts filming."
"The first scene, the first shot, the first article."
“action。”
The first shot shoots the male protagonist wearing shoes inside the door, and then preparing to open the door and meet the heroine. If it goes well, 80% of the content can be filmed on Saturdays and Sundays, and the rest of the shooting will continue on Mondays and Tuesdays in the morning and evening. In order to build up their confidence and not think how difficult it is to film, Zhou Chunwang found the easiest place to start.
But it's still a little embarrassing, except for the last sentence of "action" shouted by Zhou Chunwang, the other slogans were shouted by Lin Xinrong, and he felt a little weird and embarrassed. Others felt the same way when they saw this scene for the first time. But it doesn't matter, they will get used to it after shouting a few times and listening to it a few times.
The first mirror passed smoothly, and Zhou Chunwang quickly shouted "Okay, it's over". Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and before the start of filming, Zhou Chunwang repeatedly warned not to speak, otherwise the post-production sound processing would be very troublesome, so everyone didn't dare to come out, but they didn't expect it to be so smooth, and it didn't feel so difficult.
Wu Zexiong smiled a little embarrassedly, in fact, he was the one he was most used to, because Zhou Chunwang was shooting at him with such a big camera, and everyone was watching him perform.
This is the time when actors are most looking forward to being recognized and encouraged, so Zhou Chunwang said: "Zexiong, you have done a very good job, just according to your state, acting is not so difficult." Remember what I told you, it's okay to act in your true colors, just wear shoes, open doors, and talk like you usually do. ”
"Okay." Wu Zexiong nodded, he was indeed getting more and more confident.
"Okay, let's shoot this shot again. The actor will have many shots of the door opening, and we will shoot it in one go. Zhou Chunwang said.
"Everyone, please be silent, Act 1, Act 2, Act 1."
“action!”
So there were several shots of this scene, and the next few were all scenes of Wu Zexiong lying on the cat's eye and looking out, and then opening the door suddenly. Except for two or three mistakes, the others were very good, and soon began to play the heroine's role.
This is the scene where the hero and the heroine meet for the first time, the heroine comes down from upstairs, and just when the hero suddenly opens the door and comes out, the heroine is startled, and the hero also looks at her in a daze.
Now there is no need to shoot other scenes of the stairs, so everyone else is standing at the stairs, Zhou Chunwang and Lin Xinrong are on the left side of the door, ready to start shooting.
“action。”
Wu Zexiong opened the door, Li Huihui raised her head with a surprised expression, and patted her chest with her left hand.
“cut。”
Zhou Chunwang shouted a pause, there was this kind of scene just now, all they knew the difference between "good" and "cut". "Good" means that this shot has passed, and "cut" means that it has not passed, and it has to be started again.
However, Zhou Chunwang never forgot that they were newcomers and amateurs, so they had been prepared for a long time, and now they must be encouraged, so he said: "It's not bad, it's like this." Let's try again, this time the expressions of the two of you are a little tighter, Huihui, don't be too surprised this time, but keep the action of slapping your chest. ”
"Okay." Li Huihui nodded; She is not embarrassed, because she has been stared at by many people since she was a child, so she is in a better state than Wu Zexiong. The reason why I make mistakes now is just because I haven't been exposed to it, and I still need to learn slowly.
Next, I took a few more shots, all of which were shots of opening the door and then "bumping into" the heroine. Zhou Chunwang tried to let them not exaggerate their expressions, not to think that this was acting, to think that this was true. The expressions I made were also in line with my usual reactions. Maybe some of the later scenes have to be exaggerated for the sake of joy, for example, when the male protagonist is "competing for the heroine" with the male squad leader, some actions will be exaggerated at that time, but from beginning to end, everyone's expressions are not too exaggerated.
If a person doesn't have acting skills, then try to be natural; Sometimes it's better to be expressionless than if you try too hard, and too exaggerated expressions will make the audience feel very embarrassed and uncomfortable. Just like "To Youth 2" watched by Zhou Chunwang in the previous life, the actor Wu Yifan's whole performance was too hard, so that the whole scene was very embarrassing - although the failure of the movie was not entirely his credit, no one ignored his acting skills when complaining about this bad movie. So much so that some people commented that in front of Wu Yifan, Liu Yifei (the female lead) looks like an acting school.
