CHAPTER XLV
Because Chen Mo poured a bottle of liquor while eating supper at night, everyone was worried about whether Chen Mo's state would affect the next day's shooting.
As a result, I rushed to the set in the morning to see that Chen Mo not only came early, but also had a ruddy face, a pair of eyes as clear as a pool of spring water, and was wearing a costume to recite words in the dressing room, which was in a very good state. Looking at the eyes of the "old man" and "old lady" who are thirty or forty years old on average in the crew, they can only say with admiration that "the amount of alcohol the children drink is really good", and by the way, sigh "youth is invincible".
Director Wang Princesheng actually knew about everyone's gathering last night, and even knew that Chen Mo poured a bottle of liquor. Originally, I wanted to use the morning work to knock Chen Mo and warn him not to play too crazy outside the venue to delay the shooting, but now I saw the children's state - it was more energetic than what they didn't drink.
Well, don't say anything. See you on the set.
The crown prince clapped his hands, recruited the actors who had a scene today, and began to explain the shooting plan for this morning and afternoon according to the usual practice. It is to let the actors understand which shots to shoot today, what kind of love should be maintained, and the significance of these shots in the film as a whole.
After briefly saying these contents, Wang Princesheng beckoned Chen Mo again, and took the script to tell Chen Mo in person.
This morning's scene is going to be filmed after Sun Ce and Zhou Yu captured Anhui City, and the scene where they met Xiao Qiao for the first time. It is also interspersed with a "wrong song, Zhou Langgu" bridge. Although it is not a grand drama, compared to the tough style of the whole play, which is a battle between men for world domination, it is the only few remaining female characters in the movie, and it also has a legendary love β‘β‘ scene.
The other three actors who played with Chen Mo are either actors or actresses, or they are also old actors who have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and they are all old partners who have cooperated many times and have tacit understanding. Of course, Wang Crown Prince Sheng would not worry about them, the only thing he was not worried about was Chen Mo. Although in the audition and yesterday's shooting, Sun Ce played by Chen Mo is very aura, and it is also very in line with the image of the young Sun Ce in history. But most of the auditions and yesterday's group scenes were Chen Mo's one-man shows, and no one could steal Chen Mo's limelight from the plot.
Today's play is different, Wang Princesheng is still worried that Chen Mo lacks experience, and he will be pressed by the other three people during filming, and he will lose the demeanor of Jiangdong Xiaoba. In that case, the whole play will not be coordinated.
So Wang Princesheng very patiently dragged Chen Mo to tell him a little bit of the play, from the shooting task, to the shooting sequence, to the actors' love and moving skills, he couldn't wait to break it and crumple it and tell Chen Mo, considering Chen Mo's little experience in filming, I was afraid that he wouldn't understand just listening, and even asked the drama to go through the scene in person to show Chen Mo clearly, and then let the four of them rehearse three times on the set, and then officially filmed.
After listening to only one "", three cameras and seven or eight cameras operated at the same time, Sun Ce played by Chen Mo and Zhou Yu played by Chen Yuxiu rode slowly on the street on a white horse.
Looking at the city after a period of recuperation, it is no longer like when they first entered the city with closed doors and did not dare to travel, but the city where people come and go, as well as the wine shops that have finally opened on both sides of the street and the people who set up stalls along the street, Sun Ce couldn't help but smile with relief: "That's right." But under the rule of the policy, the people should be safe and prosperous. If they don't hear the pheasants as they did a few days ago, and don't even see a single person on the street, even if they are beaten down, there is no fun in this world. β
Zhou Yu heard what Sun Ce said, and replied with a smile: "The lord's ambition is in the world and his heart is in the people. We will be able to accomplish great things. β
When he was talking, he heard a sudden sound of a piano from the high courtyard wall of a house in front of him, Zhou Yu couldn't help but listen to it, and immediately smiled: "Spring is in love, why is the tune wrong." β
When Sun Ce heard this, he was also interested, and immediately said with a smile: "I secretly listened to small tunes, and I don't know whose owner is so interested." β
After that, he casually asked the merchant who was selling on the side to inquire about the owner of the family. When he learned that it was the famous Qiao Xuan who lived here, Sun Ce hooked the corners of his lips, and approached Zhou Yu very narrowly and said with a smile: "I have heard that the two daughters born by Qiao Gongsheng are the most beautiful and fragrant, and they are beautiful and beautiful. You and I are here by chance today, so it's time to meet you. β
When Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's appearance, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Since it is what the lord said, Gongjin has no choice but to obey." β
"Cards!"
After the director shouted "card", Zhou Yu and Sun Ce turned around at the same time, only to see Wang Crown Prince Sheng frowning and staring at the monitor for a long time, and then looked up at Chen Mo thoughtfully for a long time, Chen Mo looked at it inexplicably, and couldn't help but ask Director Wang if he didn't act well, but Wang Princesheng didn't even say a word, he was stunned for a while, waved his hand and shouted: "Go on." β
Now even Chen Yuxiu, who played Zhou Yu, felt that something was wrong. According to Wang Princesheng's habit, even if there is nothing wrong with this shot, he will inertia make up two shots, so that he can pick out better shots in the later editing. There is almost no situation like today, where you don't even make up the camera after filming and go straight down.
Chen Yuxiu and Chen Mo looked at each other, both a little confused.
However, the director is the biggest on the set, and since Wang Princesheng asked them to continue filming, they can only shoot below without any doubt.
Lu Xiaonong and Zhao Lan, who play the big and small Qiao, as well as the group performances that play the roles of Qiao Gong, Mrs. Qiao, Qiao Butler and other roles are all in place. Next, Chen Mo and Chen Yuxiu acted from knocking on the door and entering the house to meeting Xiao Qiao for the first time, and Wang Crown Prince Sheng only shouted "card" a few times when switching cameras, and remained silent the rest of the time.
It wasn't until this set of scenes was completely filmed that Crown Prince Sheng called Chen Mo with a frown, pointed to the monitor and asked Chen Mo, "Take a look at it yourself, how do you feel about suing me?" β
Chen Mo was so confused by the crown prince that he could only sit in front of the monitor and look at the end from beginning to end with a serious face, except that he found that his face was really photogenic and his acting was not bad, but he didn't find anything different.
Chen Mo could only look innocent and look at Crown Prince Sheng with a blank look.
Just when Crown Prince Sheng motioned for Chen Mo to sit down and look at the monitor, Chen Yuxiu, Lu Xiaonong, Zhao Lan and the old actor who played Qiao Gong also stood behind Chen Mo. Several people followed Chen Mo to watch the scene just filmed from beginning to end, and all of them invariably showed a slightly clear expression, and then they all made thoughtful frowning expressions.
Chen Mo's heart suddenly changed, and he saw Crown Prince Sheng looking at Chen Yuxiu and a few people with a solemn face, "You also feel it, right?" β
Chen Yuxiu, who was asked, nodded, pondered for a moment, and said with a little thought: "I had a vague feeling when I was playing just now, but I didn't expect to be so strict." β
Zhao Lan, the actor of Da Qiao, who has a lot of rivalry with Chen Mo, said: "I thought I had this feeling, it seems that everyone has it......"
After speaking, Zhao Lan glanced at Chen Mo, who was still not in the situation, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and explain: "Xiaomo, look at your-"
"Wait a minute." Wang Crown Prince Sheng waved his hand to plan Zhao Lan's explanation, and said to Chen Mo with a word of instruction to the assistant director: "You come to the lounge with me." β
As a gold medal director who has won numerous awards at domestic and international film festivals, Wang Crown Prince Sheng has installed large-screen facilities to play movies even in his makeshift studio lounge. So that you can play movies when you are usually resting, and learn from the past.
However, this time, what Crown Prince Sheng wants to play is a wool film that he has just filmed that has not yet undergone post-production.
The big screen shows all the shots of Sun Ce played by Chen Mo and Zhou Yu played by Chen Yuxiu from riding a horse to shopping, to visiting Qiao's mansion, and then to meeting Qiao for the first time. The screen, which is several times magnified than the monitor, clearly depicts the actors' every move, and also highlights the problem that is not very obvious on the monitor.
Chen Mo looked at his watch, and gradually his heart sank.
Seeing Chen Mo's thoughtful appearance, Wang Crown Prince Sheng said, "You understand this time, right?" Chen Mo, you are too into the play. β
After Wang Crown Prince Sheng said this, he also felt a headache.
has always been a director filming, and the biggest headache is that the actors can't enter the play, the quality of the director's whole movie can't go up, and all the audience is scolding the actors' bad acting skills when it is released.
Wang Princesheng never thought that an actor's appearance was too involved in the play, and it would also affect the integrity of the movie.
For example, Fang Cai Chen Mo's expression xiΓ n, from the position to the lines to the reaction to the love xΓΉ is not too much of a problem. It can be said that just looking at Chen Mo's shots, Sun Ce, who he plays, came out of the script and is what the movie wants.
But if you put Chen Mo's shots and the shots of other actors together, the problem will arise.
How so...... is that the acting skills of other actors are very good, and the acting is also in place, Chen Mo's acting is also good, and the combination of several parties should have produced some chemical reactions that could stimulate sparks more, but now the chemical reaction is gone, but there is a wonderful sense of estrangement. It's as if the performance in the same shot has been forcibly split into two parts - Chen Mo is one part, and the others are the other.
Wang Zisheng, who has been filming for many years, has never encountered this situation. For a while, I was running out of words, and I didn't know how to describe this feeling in words.
In the end, Zhao Lan, who has more experience in love and has a lot of emotional scenes with Sun Ce played by Chen Mo in the play, described her feelings like this, "...... It was as if Sun Ce was in love with me, but his eyes were looking at another person. All his reactions, all his feelings, are not for me, they are all for me to another person......"
When everyone heard this, they immediately realized, clapped their hands and said, "Yes, yes, yes, that's what it feels like." β
During the audition, Chen Mo acted alone, and no one played with him; The group drama filmed yesterday has to express the effect of the stars holding the moon, and it must reflect Sun Jian's sudden death, Sun Ce is immersed in the pain of losing his relatives on the one hand, and he has to carry the banner of Jiangdong as a young man, so even if there is that feeling of loneliness and separation, it is only a fuller interpretation of Sun Ce's feelings at that time. So the crowd was unaware of the problem.
It wasn't until today that Chen Mo began to play with everyone that this problem became prominent.
But why is this happening?
Even if as Zhao Lan said, Chen Mo thought of his first love because of empathy when he was playing opposite Zhao Lan, he wouldn't be able to think of another person who made him empathize when he played with everyone, right?
Everyone was puzzled by this.
Only Chen Mo himself suddenly realized what he thought of after hearing Zhao Lan's explanation. But he didn't know how to solve it.
The other people sitting in the lounge were also a little worried when they saw Chen Mo hanging his head and thinking thoughtfully.
Wang Crown Prince Sheng scratched his head with a little headache, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Chen Mo's expression on the big screen, trying to find a solution to the problem.
