Chapter 22: Cameo Ace
After more than a week of continuous shooting, the crew of "Ace" is now progressing smoothly, and some indoor scenes filmed in the studio are shooting very quickly, and it is now about to finish filming all the scenes in the studio. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info has accumulated a lot of various shooting materials, and it looks very good. After the filming is completed in the studio, it is estimated that the filming of the interior of the Far Eastern International Trade Building will start next week.
Overall, the filming progress of this drama is satisfactory.
As a mid-range film, you have to consider all aspects, and it is impossible to shoot as fast as a small-budget film, and now this progress is very good.
Zhou Yi has to meet with the crew at night and shoot his own scenes.
Although the scene is simple and not difficult to perform, he still has to be fully prepared, and he can't just fool around because he is a small role, thinking that it is okay to show his face casually, which is definitely a very wrong idea.
In the absence of many opportunities to perform, how to seize the opportunity and perform brilliantly is where the actor's acting skills are tested.
Every actor is honed in this way, and this process cannot be omitted.
If you can't play a small role well, how can you play the leading role well?
Zhou Yi himself has enough resources to omit a lot of the process of honing small roles, but that is not necessarily a good thing. Now that he has this kind of opportunity, he will naturally go all out to play this small role well, and he can't really regard it as a cameo.
With the performances of actors in previous lives as references, there must be no problem.
Some actors don't care about playing small roles, they want to play the leading role, and they think they can play it well, which is a dream. Even some actors say that their lines are not professional, and they directly say that numbers are replaced, and wait for the later dubbing, that kind of thing will never happen to Zhou Yi.
In terms of performance, no matter how he acted, he was very professional.
This can at least leave a good impression on the fans and get the support of more die-hard fans.
must let everyone see that the actors are really working hard and are not fooling.
You don't see some little fresh meat acting skills in your previous life that are so bad that they fall into the scum, but there are still many fans who never give up, desperately support, and say what you say at every turn, don't you know how hard my family usually works? Anyway, it's good to work hard.
Zhou Yi understands this very well.
When your acting skills are not at the top, you want everyone to know how hard you work. Attitude is everything, and that's enough.
After preparing for an afternoon, Zhou Yi thought that his performance was basically no problem and he could qualify.
According to Director Zhao's arrangement, Zhou Yi had to rush over to meet the crew at half past five in the afternoon.
The time of this plot in the original work in the previous life, the prop list shows 7:05 p.m.
The script of this world is also arranged in this way, and the time is basically the same.
That is to say, filming will start at around 7 o'clock in the evening.
Counting the time for the transfer of the crew and the arrangement of equipment and props, it will definitely be over at five o'clock in the afternoon to meet the crew. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yi had dinner in advance, and then asked Assistant Xi Wei to send him over early and meet the crew as soon as possible, after all, he and Director Zhao, as well as the supporting actors, may have some communication, of course, they must reserve enough spare time.
Xi Wei sent Zhou Yi to the studio crew very smoothly.
There was not much traffic jam on the road, which was not bad.
Now that preparations are underway, everyone has finished dinner, and the crew will soon transfer to the Far East International Trade Building. This scene was filmed on the roof of a 20-story high-rise building near the Far Eastern World Trade Building, directly opposite the Far East International Trade Building. This is the requirement of the plot. The assistant director chose the place very well, and the roof layout was similar to the original work in the previous life, which was convenient for shooting.
It's not just any rooftop, it's important to have the right angle for the camera.
Assistant director Liao Zhenyu and they checked several places before finally finalizing the filming location.
Under the command of Director Zhao, the entire crew operated in an orderly manner, and the convoy transition was orderly. As for the venue rental on the side of the high-rise building, they have been contacted in advance, and Wang Minde, an expert in military command, has been sitting there to maintain order at the shooting site.
The crew only needs to transfer directly to the scene.
The staff of various departments were all nervous and busy, Zhou Yi came to the scene, did not disturb the work of the crew, and did not say anything, but under the introduction of Director Zhao, he chatted with his supporting partner a few more words. The actor who plays the sniper Lao Mo is a professional veteran actor hired by the crew, named Lin Xue, his appearance is not good-looking, but he is very distinctive, there is a small mole next to the wing of his nose, his body is relatively thick and fat, and it is said that his acting skills are quite good.
Many of the characters in the film are connected before and after, and they do not appear suddenly.
In this scene, Zhou Yi has to play the role of the sniper Lao Mo's partner observer.
Lao Mo's former partner was in the opening scene and retired due to injury.
A line and a shot in the celebration dance can explain the past.
This kind of plot is to make a cameo for Zhou Yi to make a role, so that Zhou Yi can play, after all, the film needs Zhou Yi's current popularity, but Zhou Yi has no time to go overseas to film, and he usually has little free time after class, so he can only make a cameo in this way.
These are planned in advance.
Even if Zhou Yi doesn't have time, it's easy to solve, and it's okay to pick someone again.
Fortunately, Zhou Yi was able to find time.
Now the rookie observer played by Zhou Yi is the new partner of the sniper Lao Mo, and there will be brief lines in the plot. The two actors have to cooperate in acting, although there are few scenes, but they must also communicate carefully in advance, so that the performance can cooperate tacitly.
In terms of performance, if you have any ideas, you have to say them in advance so that you can cooperate.
The two actors are very professional and communicate well, and Zhou Yi has a lot of experience.
On the way here, Zhou Yi bought a box of chewing gum, which is a performance prop, and when he performs later, he can use chewing gum to express the state of the character relieving complex emotions, which is the same as Lin Xue, who plays a sniper, holding a toothpick.
These small details should be considered carefully, and the props should be prepared by themselves.
Zhou Yi referred to the toothpick of the original sniper before thinking of this performance detail.
Director Zhao agreed.
In terms of performance, the director will not guide so meticulously, and the actors will have to think and deal with it themselves. If the director prescribes all aspects to death, the actor will lack creativity, the performance will be rigid and rigid, and will only follow the routine, which is not good. Now it's just right.
Although this kind of performance requires the help of props and is a little superficial, it is just right and enough for this young character. If you want to play an actor-level performance in such a small role, it is simply impossible, and you can't let the actor perform, but you can't play it.
Zhou Yi's preparation was indeed good enough.
went to the filming location, Zhou Yi still took Xi Wei's car.
He also noticed that he didn't see Teng Tiangang today, and the big guy wasn't with Xi Wei.
According to Xi Wei, because Teng Tiangang played a very important role in the TV series "Tai Chi Grandmaster", he was arranged by Director He to make up classes and go to the acting intensive class to learn acting. Of course, his drama is no problem, but the literary drama needs to be strengthened.
Hearing the news, Zhou Yi wanted to laugh three times: Teng Tiangang actually studied acting?
Think about the big guy who is serious about learning to act, his face is full of meat, don't scare his classmates.
But that's fine, I hope he can learn a little bit of acting.
At least the TV series can be more exciting and good-looking.
After understanding the situation, Zhou Yi didn't care, and filmed his own scene first.
When the crew and convoy arrived at the filming location, transported all kinds of shooting equipment to the roof of the building, arranged the camera position, and all departments were ready and coordinated, the time was almost up. For filming, this time is just right.
The gaffer has already done the lighting, and the surroundings are quite bright.
This was shot on the roof of a 20-storey building, so it is more important to pay attention to safety and not to have accidents.
All kinds of security measures are well prepared.
All members of the crew were ready.
This filming location was really well chosen, right opposite the 20th floor of the Far East International Trade Building, which is where the actor will perform. However, the scenes are all filmed separately, and I won't shoot the scenes over there today, only the various scenes of the sniper and the observer here, and all the scenes where the two are preparing to snipe on the roof of the building are filmed in a centralized manner, and the post-editing will be done.
Because of the small number of scenes, tonight's shooting task is quite easy, but the preparation is a little more troublesome.
Shoot on the rooftops of high-rise buildings with caution.
In case something happens, it's not a joke.
At present, Zhou Yi and Lin Xue, the veteran actor of the supporting role, have changed into a full set of costumes, which is the kind of fully armed special service combat uniform with the CIA logo, with a tactical backpack on the outside, various props, a walkie-talkie hanging on the back of the shoulder, and a headset in the ear, which looks very strong and professional.
When they perform later, the two will wear the hats on their heads backwards, not to pretend to be cool and handsome, but there is no sunlight at night, no need to shade, and this will not cover the forehead vision, and when observing with scopes and telescopes, it will not pose the slightest obstacle.
These small details were mentioned by Wang Minde, an expert on military command, during his guidance.
Details determine success or failure, and you should pay attention to any details.
At this time, professional props such as sniper rifles and binoculars are ready, and how to set up them professionally, the actors are very clear and there is no problem.
Everything is ready, the time is just right, Director Zhao gave an order, all departments are in place, each performing its own duties, and the crew will officially start filming tonight.
The first set of shots.
The snipers and observers played by Lin Xue and Zhou Yi rushed to the roof of the building quickly, with quick movements and tactics in place.
The sniper is very professional in setting up the sniper rifle, opening the cover of the scope and aiming.
The observer hands put down their backpacks, organize their equipment, take out their binoculars, put their hats on their backs, and make observations.
This set of shots is relatively simple, as long as the action is shot professionally and sharply.
Zhou Yi and Lin Xue both did a good job.
The chief photographer of the crew, Guan Cameraman, followed behind and followed with handheld photography to reflect the tension of the camera.
After shooting, I saw the effect, and it was really good.
The second set of shots.
The roof of the building is pulled from a long view to a close view, from the whole to a close-up, starting with the observer played by Zhou Yi, he put down the binoculars, and before preparing to snipe, he said to his partner sniper Lao Mo: "What the hell! That's Romon over there. He also taught me. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at his companion, his expression and tone implied a hint of worry and hesitation, as well as some sympathy, and there seemed to be some resistance to this mission.
The sniper Lao Mo took aim and said in a cold tone: "He kidnapped Luo Tou'er of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and looked for an opportunity to kill him with one shot." ”
Observing the hand turned his head, chewed gum in his mouth, lowered his head, drooped his eyelids, and shook his head slightly, as if he was a little unwilling.
Zhou Yi's performance here is remarkable.
Sniper Lao Mo reminded: "Rookie, the first mission, don't be distracted!" ”
This close-up was filmed a few times, and when you get enough material, it's okay.
To shoot this kind of mid-range film, the sound is collected on the spot, and the sound of the helicopter propeller can be added in post-production, and the actors don't need to dub in the later stage. There was no wind tonight, but the crew had already prepared for a blower to blow the wind up, which could blow up the flag erected next to it, and at the same time, the on-site recording engineer used a professional radio microphone that had been adjusted long ago to collect the actors' lines, and at the same time could clearly receive the wind and the hunting sound of the flag fluttering, and at the same time filter out some off-site noise.
Each department of the crew performs its own duties and has its own work.
The third set of shots.
Preparation for observation before shooting a sniper.
The few shots observed by the observer were all edited in post-production, and now they only shoot their own scenes and pose for them.
Zhou Yi's line: "The windows are all blocked, and the line of sight is zero." ”
The Sniper does a sniper aiming style.
This scene has to be filmed from different angles, which is not very difficult.
Judging from Zhou Yi's previous simple lines, his line skills have indeed improved, and his words are very clear and powerful.
