The filming location of the MV is on a street next to the dance academy, and there is still a period of time before the start of school, and the weather is relatively cold in winter, so there are few pedestrians on the road, which does not attract onlookers.

In this way, Zhang Meng, a rookie director, and Liu Shishi, a rookie actor, did not feel the pressure from the outside world, and they were very excited, and they couldn't wait to start filming immediately.

The most important thing for the director to talk to the actors before the start of filming is to talk about the play, Zhang Meng pulled Cheng Peng and Liu Shishi to the filming location and explained in detail, of course, the focus of the play is on Liu Shishi.

You have to be patient with the newcomer, not only telling her where to pause and where to do what to do, but also explaining to her why she is doing it, and even the details of her steps and the extent of her swaying when walking.

But Zhang Meng soon found that Master Liu's biggest problem was not how she moved, but that she had no experience in love, and she was a little shy, so she couldn't find a feeling.

Zhang Meng doesn't have much experience as a director, he has never mentored this kind of simple and a little shy girl, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

Cheng Peng saw the two rookies tossing around, so he suggested: "Master, you can imagine me as your brother, such as a cousin or cousin, we are fighting on the street, we don't have to be lovers!" ”

This is a methodological emotional substitution, for example, a young actor has not experienced the pain of losing a loved one, and it is difficult for you to let her experience that feeling, and at this time the director can let her recall the feeling of losing her beloved toy.

Master Liu frowned and said, "I don't have a cousin, and I don't have a cousin!" ”

Cheng Peng smiled: "Then imagine me as your father, laughing and playing with my father!" ”

Master Liu glared at him, a little angry: "You take advantage of me!" ”

Cheng Peng pinched his chin and made a contemplative gesture: "Otherwise, imagine me as a sister in your bedroom, and there will definitely be no problem now!" ”

Master Liu glanced at Cheng Peng, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "We don't have sisters like you in our bedroom, if you grow up like you, who would dare to share a bedroom with you!" ”

It's hard to be a good person, and I'm disgusted! Cheng Peng said: "Actually, there are many similarities between your ballet dancing and film performance, you need to exercise your body, you need to use your eyes, you need to experience emotions, and film performance is actually these things." You should have experience in this area, think about what you did when you were on stage, how you got into the state of acting, and just act in that state. ”

Master Liu thought for a while, and some understood, so he looked for the feeling according to some of the methods he used when dancing, and the whole person quickly relaxed.

Zhang Meng admired this a lot, and gave Cheng Peng a thumbs up, he really knows how to guide actors, it's amazing!

However, the reality is not as optimistic as Zhang Meng imagined, and when it comes to the actual shooting, Master Liu's performance is still full of problems.

"Stop! Master, you secretly aimed at the camera, don't aim at the camera! ”

"Master, you can't act like this, I can't see happiness in your eyes, your emotions are not enough!"

"Stop! Teacher, it's still not right, your emotions are not enough! ”

"Stop, teacher, you're with your boyfriend, your expression is too stiff!"

……

Liu Shishi was not particularly confident, but after a few times in a row, his confidence was seriously frustrated, and a layer of water vapor appeared in his eyes, and he was about to cry.

Zhang Meng was a little annoyed, but when he saw Master Liu's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear to be angry, after all, she was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and she had no acting experience, so it was normal to not act well.

"Master, let's do it again!"

Cheng Peng shook his head, he knew that if he continued to shoot, he would not be able to shoot it, Master Liu's state was okay at the beginning, but he didn't perform well twice, and the feeling was gone, and Zhang Meng's guidance to her had problems, and the result was getting worse and worse.

At this time, you have to stop and perform in a different way, instead of forcing it again and again.

Cheng Peng walked to the middle of the venue and clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Okay, let's take a rest first!" ”

Hearing this, the crew members all stopped, and Liu's mother hurriedly came over and pulled Master Liu aside to comfort him softly.

Master Liu was already sad, but Mama Liu's comfort was even more sad, she felt very wronged, and hugged Mama Liu and cried. This situation is like a child falling, if there is no adult next to him, get up and continue to run, if there is an adult next to him, he will definitely cry to tell his grievances.

Cheng Peng came to the monitor, patted Zhang Meng's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I think you have a bit of a problem with Master Liu's guidance, what you talk about is too broad, you always say that you have to be happy, be happy, if it is an expressive actor, it may be okay to say this, but Master Liu is not, she is closer to the experience school, you have to let her into the role." ”

Zhang Meng was stunned: "Experiential? She hasn't studied acting, how can she be an experiential? ”

Cheng Peng explained: "Master Liu learned ballet, ballet has a specific plot, and when performing, you need to convey feelings through expressions and eyes, and you need to experience the psychology of the characters; Moreover, Chinese ballet mainly originated from the Soviet Union, and the Soviet ballet was deeply influenced by Stanislavsky's theory, which is a typical experiential school. Although Master Liu has not really studied acting, he has actually learned some experiential things. When you guide her to act, you should tell her the motivation of the character, tell her the highest goal of the scene, and you should guide her into the heart of the character, which is the right way for her. ”

"I didn't expect her to be an experiential school, but I was negligent." Zhang Meng suddenly realized that he had discovered the key to the problem.

Also, the director should try to avoid conveying negative emotions, which will frustrate the confidence of the actors, especially those who have no acting experience like her. Even if she doesn't act well, let's not say that she doesn't act well, we should suggest that she change her acting style. ”

Zhang Meng smiled embarrassedly and said, "Xiaopeng, I know what to do." ”

After resting for a few minutes, Zhang Meng called Master Liu over, and this time he analyzed the character's psychological state for her in detail, analyzed the character's motivation, analyzed various details of the character, and tried his best to instill the character image he needed into Master Liu's mind.

All the personnel were back in place, and Master Liu cleaned up his mood, let himself go into the hearts of the characters, to experience that feeling, and then put on the performance with all his heart.

After Master Liu finished the performance, Cheng Peng applauded her: "Good performance, I will ask the props team to send you a little red flower!" ”

Master Liu was a little angry and protested: "I'm not a kindergarten child!" ”

Zhang Meng behind the monitor is also very satisfied with Master Liu's performance, this time she performed very well, her expression and demeanor are good, she is indeed an experience school!

It's just that when Zhang Meng called up the surveillance screen to check again, his brows furrowed again, the camera was a little wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

After watching it twice, he still didn't find the problem, so he called Cheng Peng over: "Xiaopeng, come and see, there seems to be something wrong with this shot!" ”

Cheng Peng looked in front of the monitor and found that there was a problem with the light in the eyes of the gaffer, and he couldn't help sighing, if Wang Qinian and they were definitely not going to make such a mistake.

Eye light is a beautiful and shining point of light formed on the eyeball when the light shines into the human eye. If the eye light is well arranged, the actor's eyes will look radiant and beautiful.

Master Liu is a little short-sighted, her eyes are a little scattered, and the light of her eyes is very important to her, if she doesn't play well, she will look sluggish, and if she plays well, she will be radiant.

Two days before the crew started filming, Zhou Yang was admitted to the hospital because of appendicitis, and Wang Qinian went on a trip with his wife, so he couldn't be contacted for the time being, so the crew could only find a new lighting engineer.

This lighting engineer also took into account Master Liu's small flaws, and his eyes were quite beautiful, but he ignored a key issue and did not consider the inner state of the character.

If you take a picture of the cover of a magazine, there is no problem with lighting it this way, it looks very soft, and it is the kind of eyes that can make people's hearts beat, but now it is a movie, and this light is a little inconsistent with the state that the movie wants to show.

It's like putting "Ode to Joy" at a funeral, can you say "Ode to Joy" is bad? But whoever dares to do this will definitely be killed.

Cheng Peng pointed to Master Liu's eyes on the monitor and said: "In this scene, she and her boyfriend are playing and playing, and her heart is very happy. ”

Zhang Meng nodded, but the gaffer next to him was stunned, and his eyes were still related to his mood, isn't this nonsense, so he said, "Are you joking?" ”

Cheng Peng glanced at him, shook his head and said: "The size of the light in the eyes is different, and the emotions expressed in different positions are also different. ”

The gaffer didn't speak, but his expression was a little disdainful, he knew that he used the main light and side light to express the emotions of the characters, but he had never heard of using eye light to express the emotions of the characters, and he didn't believe it at all.

Cheng Peng knew that he didn't believe it when he saw the gaffer's expression, and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, I'll make this light!" ”

The gaffer couldn't stop sneering, okay, I want to see what kind of light you can put out!

Cheng Peng asked the lighting assistant to change a silver reflector, then arranged a lamp to illuminate, and then began to adjust the position of the light and reflector.

Film and television eye lighting is much more complicated than taking photos and eye lighting, because the actor can make movements, raise his head, and turn his head, and must take into account the movement trajectory of the character when setting up the lighting, choose the best position, and ensure that there is always light in the actor's eyes.

After tossing for more than 30 minutes, the lighting was finally arranged, Cheng Peng asked Liu Shishi to stand at the filming position, and then beckoned to the gaffer: "Come, take a look, how is this light?" ”

As soon as the gaffer looked at the screen of the monitor, he exclaimed: "Butterfly light!" ”

In the lens, there are two symmetrical spots of the same size on Master Liu's eyes, like the wings of a butterfly, shining brightly.

(I don't feel it at all, I can't get it out, I'm crazy...... ）
