Chapter 185: Six Actors
There are a lot of things that need to be prepared for classic micro-films, and they may not be shot before the holiday, so Zhang Tan finally chose to make a short film.
Compared with funny short films, Zhang Tan has seen too much.
There was a period of lack of love in my last life, empty, lonely, and cold, very lonely, and I couldn't lift my spirits at work, so I kept searching for those funny and fun ultra-short dramas, and watched them repeatedly to make myself laugh. Therefore, many of them are still impressed in my mind.
Zhang Tan likes to hide the fact that he was a sling in his last life, and is willing to go on the road of high-quality literature and art without looking back.
Therefore, holding the scissors high in my heart, I cut out 80% of the vulgar films with laughs.
"I decided to make an inspirational short film!"
"Be personal."
Zhang Tan turned his mind and remembered a fun film.
So I quickly picked up a pen and started writing the script.
"The original film has a personality, but some places are vulgar and need to be revised." While thinking, Zhang Tan revised and modified.
Half an hour later, part of the script was freshly released.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, I need six actors, three girls, and three frustrated men."
Zhang Tan, who is a man of action, immediately called Susha: "Sasha, I want to make an inspirational blockbuster, do you want to be the heroine?" β
"What?" Susa was sleeping in the dormitory at this time, and she didn't even react when she heard the words, "You want to make a movie?" β
Zhang Tan thought for a while and said, "It's shorter than the movie, but it's going to be cool." β
Martha's uplifting voice came from the phone, sweet and greasy: "Are you going to ask me to be the heroine?" β
"Yes. But you also know, as an inspirational blockbuster. There are a lot of people competing for the heroine, so. I can't guarantee that you will meet the standards. So in the evening, I opened a room at the Home Inn Hotel, a thousand meters away from the school gate, and I remember to come to audition. After Zhang Tan finished speaking, he added a sentence later, "You know." β
A few seconds later, Susha's strange voice came from the mobile phone: "Zhang Tan, you are very interesting, you are interviewing in the hotel, let's talk about it, what is the room number." Do you need me to prepare for a few pieces of sex. Clothes with a little feeling. β
"Ahem. If you can, it's even better to change into a white shirt, suit skirt, black stockings, and high heels. β
"Yo yo yo, I can't think of Inspector Hello, do you want me to bring a leather whip and a candle?"
"That's free...... Okay, okay, no kidding with you, in the afternoon, I will find an empty classroom in Building A, gather the crew, and have a pledge meeting! Zhang Tan couldn't bear it first, it was fun to tease the little girl. But it's the little girl's turn to flip over and pick it. It's not fun to tease him.
Zhang Tan said that he was down to business, and Susa also put away the joke: "Are you really going to shoot, is it your final work this semester?" β
"Yes."
"What a subject. What type? β
"We'll talk about it in the afternoon."
After inviting Susa, Zhang Tan called Zhu Lili and Liu Qianwei again, and these two girls were also at Nortel. Girls who are more familiar with communication.
"Weiwei, I'm going to make an inspirational blockbuster. You come to be the heroine. β
"Lili, I'm going to make an inspirational blockbuster. You come to be the heroine. β
After fooling the three girls, Zhang Tan felt that he was quite insidious, because the "blockbuster" he wanted to shoot did not have a heroine at all, or the heroine and supporting actress were almost the same.
"I have to find three frustrated men to play." Zhang Tan touched his chin, "The actor must be able to play the guitar, and he can't be too handsome, if he is too handsome, he can't be inspirational, but he can't be too ugly, too ugly to affect the viewing...... In this way, my own conditions are quite suitable. β
"Is my place. Women's work, do you want to write, direct and act by yourself? Gee. β
Zhang Tan didn't decide, which allowed him to think about it, but it was right to pull the crew up first, and immediately called students from several other departments and invited them to help. There is a lot of communication between students from various departments of Nortel, because many works need to be completed by several individuals.
It is not uncommon to see several people carrying cameras and fluorescent tubes such as tungsten lamps or kino-flo roaring in and out of the campus to find a place to shoot films.
didn't even want a salary, as long as he took care of the food, Zhang Tan quickly found several students from the Department of Photography, the Department of Recording, and the Department of Film and Television Technology, as well as Chen Li in the same dormitory, to come over and set up a crew. There are only three male actors, not easy to find, the boys in Nortel's acting department, one is more handsome than the other, it is suitable for acting in idol dramas, but it is not convincing enough to act in inspirational dramas.
Zhang Tan thought about it, three actors, one of the supporting roles doesn't need acting skills, just pull one out to play. The male protagonist and the second male lead are left......
"Chen Li, do you know how to play the guitar?" Zhang Tan asked.
Chen Li replied very carefully: "If I want to say that I know the instrument, probably the only thing I know is the melodica, when I was a child, my grandfather gave me one, I liked it for a while, and I can play a few songs." β
However, it doesn't know how to play a guitar, and it doesn't have much use.
"You don't know the guitar, this can't let you play the leading role, so let's play the second male lead."
"And this good thing, I can also appear on the camera? The second male is the second male second, I will act! β
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, in a classroom in Building A, there were four girls and seven boys, a total of eleven people.
Zhang Tan wore a set of casual clothes and sent ten scripts, each script was a total of three sheets of paper.
On the first page, it reads, in black and white: "The script for 'I Learned to Play the Guitar', for internal use only." β
The remaining two pieces of paper are the real content of the script.
Chen Li held the heavy script and asked tremblingly: "Detective, the blockbuster you keep talking about, the thickness is only these two pages of script?" β
"The blockbuster I am talking about is similar to the big names and big names, which refers to the meaning of high grade, not length and scale."
Then, Zhang Tan waved his hand: "As the old saying goes, although the sparrow is small, our "Guitar" crew, although it is also very small, the task that should be responsible for it must be clarified." I am the director and actor, Chen Li is the assistant director and coordinator and the second male lead, and Feng Shaozhuang is the photographer. Ma Kai is the lighting engineer and Li Duan is the recording engineer. Wang Xiaoyu is the scene reporter and supporting actor, and Yu Hui is the production director. Wu Yali is a makeup artist. β
After speaking, Zhang Tan looked at the three girls again and said: "As for Susa, Liu Qianwei, and Zhu Lili, the three of you are all heroines, in no particular order, they play heroine A, heroine B and heroine C." β
Susa raised her hand.
Zhang Tan gestured: "Please speak." β
"Inspector...... No, it's the director, I read the script myself, and I, the heroine, only have one line? β
Liu Qianwei raised her hand and said, "I and Lili's heroines B and C only have one line. β
Zhang Tan coughed and said, "This." Liu Qianwei and Zhu Lili, you have to read the script carefully, you have two lines, although they are repeated lines, they are used in different shots. As for Susa, you only have one line, but you have a separate close-up. β
This explanation was unanimously despised by the three girls.
At this time, Chen Li also finished reading the script, and it felt like a joke from the beginning. He gradually nodded: "Detective, I have to admire your talent, although this script is short, it is concise." It's interesting, I'm already thinking, after it comes out. What kind of scenario will it be? β
Zhang Tan said with a smile: "A few minutes of short films, what kind of high-scale grade should be made. It's not realistic, but I'm sure it's going to be a groundbreaking short film! β
There was a pause. He also said: "I hope everyone can work together to get it out in three days, and I believe that three days should be enough." β
The meeting was very short, and after unifying his thoughts, Zhang Tan asked the others to go back to recuperate first, while he and Chen Li, Yu Hui and others went to choose a shooting location and rent shooting equipment.
"I Learned to Play the Guitar" involves a total of five scenes in the film.
A friend's home, the protagonist's home, a park bench, a place where friends meet, and a roadside.
The friend's home and the protagonist's home are very good choices, and Chen Li provided him with a rental house that he rented outside the school, which happened to be his rental room, which was a simple small suite with a set of sofas. Zhang Tan's house is so well decorated, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a place where ordinary young people live.
For the benches in the park, the backrest benches on the Nortel campus were chosen; Where friends meet, I chose the Four Seasons Hall in Building A; As for the roadside, the roadside in front of the dormitory is pretty good.
In this way, all the shooting locations have been found, and with a little layout, you can start shooting. Over there, Yu Hui also brought someone to rent back the shooting equipment, a full set of equipment such as high-definition cameras and magnesium lights.
The whole preparation time only took one afternoon.
In the evening, Zhang Tan invited all the crew members to the restaurant for a meal.
The next day, filming began.
β¦β¦
Chen Li's room in his home.
βActionοΌβ
This slogan was not shouted by Zhang Tan, but shouted by Chen Li on his behalf, because Zhang Tan still had to be on camera. This time, he couldn't find a suitable actor for a while, Zhang Tan changed his principle of being a low-key person, and played the leading role in person with a ticket, but it was also 66666.
Of course, a short film of a few minutes, just a final homework, it doesn't matter if you don't have acting skills, you won't delay anything if you go into battle in person.
The camera was set up at the door, aimed at the door to shoot, and Zhang Tan stood at the door and pushed the door open.
In the room, Wang Xiaoyu, the scene reporter and supporting actor, sat on a chair, holding a guitar and pretending, Liu Qianwei and Zhu Lili, sitting in front of Wang Xiaoyu, looking at each other affectionately.
Behind the door, where the camera couldn't shoot it, the sound engineer Li Duan held the radio stick and pointed it at the two girls.
Then, the two girls said in unison, "Wow, you play so well." β
"Cards."
After several repeated shots, this set of shots passed.
In the next group, it was Zhang Tan's turn to replace Wang Xiaoyu, sitting on a chair, holding the guitar and playing in a chic manner. Then, Liu Qianwei and Zhu Lili said affectionately to him: "Wow, you play so well." β
A few more repetitions, and this set of shots has also passed.
"Weiwei, Lili, your scene is over." Zhang Tan announced on the spot.
The two women complained about the unfinished business: "It's over before the state even comes out." β
Zhang Tan scratched his freshly cut hair and said, "What you want is speed and efficiency, you know." If you don't want to go back to school, you can help out here and take care of a meal at noon. (To be continued.) )
