Two days later, under the leadership of Huang Baiming, the producer, he worshiped God, prayed for peace, and announced the official start of filming of "Eight Star Annunciation". It's interesting to note that a lot of journalists in the 21st century are interested in the start-up of a certain film, but now there are not many reporters who do it. Even if I came, I just wanted to pick a few leading actors.

Since the coordinator had already announced to the actors what was going to be filmed today, Xiao Ran was happy and relaxed, and just beckoned to the actors and crew to take their places. This first day is a scene where all the leading actors eat together, this scene is actually very stressful, everyone's emotions are different, and it is not easy to grasp.

"Camera...... Lamplight...... Actor...... Ready! Xiao Ran made a round of inspections, and saw that the other staff members were waiting for his name intently, and suddenly felt as majestic as the commander who was about to go to the battlefield. Suddenly, he shouted: "action! ”

The studio, which had been silent, was now even more silent, with only the subtle sounds of the cameras running. Xiao Ran approached a camera and stood quietly in this position to observe the performances of all the actors in the performance area. The scene notes followed Xiao Ran closely, and he wanted to record the specific shooting situation.

Everything showed an orderly appearance, Xiao Ranxu nodded with satisfaction, and what Huang Baiming gave him was really a veteran. At this time, there began to be a conflict of characters in the script in the performance area, Xiao Ran put up his hands in front of him, observed for a while, and saw that except for the two fixed ones, the other three cameras were moving, and nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, this film does not require many film skills, that is, the shooting skills do not need to be very sharp, and generally only flat shooting is enough, which is naturally easy to control. This is one of the key reasons why Xiao Ran chose "Eight Star Annunciation......

It is not difficult to shoot this scene, but the difficulty lies in how to properly present everything that happens at this dinner table, and also take care of the emotions of each character. That is to say, we must first express a whole, and then divide it into individuals, and at the same time maintain the original overall perception while expressing the individual, which requires considerable scheduling skills.

Therefore, after consulting the opinion of the assistant director Lao Jianhua, Xiao Ran divided the two cameras and always aimed the camera at the dinner table. Of course, mobile car tracks are naturally needed. In this case, the other three camera shots were given enough close-ups of the conflicting characters, and by the time the final cut was made, the intended effect could be achieved.

Just when Xiao Ran was thinking of this, another assistant director, Luo Wenqiang, called softly on the side: "Director, it should be called cut!" ”

"Oh? cut！ Xiao Ran, who woke up suddenly, hurriedly looked at the venue and hurriedly stopped. This only saw Lao Jianhua shaking his head, and quickly pulled Xiao Ran to the side, and whispered: "Director, you can't do this." If you are a director for the first time, you must learn how to control the crew, otherwise, I am afraid that they will not obey you! ”

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked what happened, or what must be known as a director. Lao Jianhua sighed, he is actually a very good person, and he has no idea of intrigue. If not, how could he have been an assistant director for more than ten years and failed to correct it.

After listening to Lao Jianhua's explanation, Xiao Ran suddenly understood. Of course, he knows a lot about Hong Kong movies, but he hasn't experienced it after all, and many things are not clear. Take directing as an example, it's not easy to be a director, it's definitely not easy.

The director not only needs the ability to direct, but also the ability to control his subordinates, and for the director, the rest of the crew is his subordinates. From miscellaneous to celebrities, they are all within his control. Only when the director controls everything in the palm of his hand can he gather strength to make a good film.

Most of the people who work in Hong Kong are relatively low-educated, most of them come from the market, and it is normal for them to be full of swear words at every turn. If you meet a director who is more elegant, if you can't control the scene, you are afraid that you will be angry after only two or three sentences.

Take the lighting engineer as an example, there has always been a saying about the lighting master, if you offend the lighting master, you can make the crew suffer a lot if you hit the lights indiscriminately during the shooting. Therefore, the director does not have to be full of foul language, but he must be able to suppress this group of monkeys, otherwise it will be difficult to make a good movie.

Basically, every type of work in the crew has its own system, and the technical staff is still there. In particular, most of the staff who do the heavy work that are not very technical and do heavy work have backgrounds and may not be able to afford to be offended.

After listening to Lao Jianhua's story, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a creepy feeling. He thought it was very simple, but he didn't expect that being a director was not as easy as he imagined, and he still needed to deal with so many interpersonal relationships, which was a real headache to death.

However, he now finally understands why it is always rumored that many Hong Kong directors like to curse on set. Just imagine, if you don't stop the staff, how can this movie be filmed!

"Now that you're a director for the first time, you must give them a dismount, otherwise they will definitely be able to turn the sky upside down!" Lao Jianhua quickly gave Xiao Ran, who was thinking about it, a suggestion.

Dismounted? Xiao Ran smiled bitterly in his heart. If it is a person like Wang Jing who is deeply rooted in the film industry, it is better to say, if he is a newcomer to the industry and is very young, if he behaves too tough as soon as he comes, I am afraid that this end may not be so wishy!

couldn't help but shake his head, Xiao Ran decided to ignore this matter for the time being, and think about it later. This drama has Huang Baiming as the starring producer, but there will be no big mess. It's just that Xiao Ran still knows very well that he has to come up with a solution to such a thing.

After putting this down, Xiao Ran looked at the effect of the shot, and the photography effect was good. The performance of Feng Baobao and other actors is not bad, but he always feels that the performances of Lucy Cheng and Zhou Yunfa are a little different from what he knows. After thinking about it, he decided to talk to the two of them about it.

Zheng Yuling and Fa Ge were both touching up their makeup, and Xiao Ran came to their side, hesitated for a moment, thinking about what tone to explain what they wanted. Under the gaze of the two, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Dudu, the character you play loves Fa Ge very much, but you also hate Fa Ge for being so attentive." So, in terms of performance, you might as well put a little more! ”

"Director, what do you mean?" A wisp of confusion flashed in Zheng Yuling's eyes, obviously not quite understanding what Xiao Ran meant.

Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, Zheng Yuling is now a wireless artist, and she has not made any achievements in movies. In 1983, he starred in "Flower City" and won the Best Newcomer Award.

At the 3rd Academy Awards, the judges didn't plan to give her the best newcomer, because Zheng Yuling was famous in the TV industry at that time, and it was undoubtedly funny to give her such an award. Later, she finally won it, and the Academy Awards also set the definition of the best newcomer, and she has been using it ever since.

Now Jacy Zheng is indeed popular, but that refers to TV, but she is just a newcomer in the film industry. It wasn't until she acted in "Fantastic Two Heroines" that she became popular, and later "Stars, Moon and Sun" made her the 25th Golden Horse Awards, and since then she has become one of the most popular actresses in Hong Kong. It's just that in the mid-nineties, he gradually rarely acted, so his fame in the mainland was not as great as that of Lin Qingxia and others.

Zheng Yuling's acting skills are undoubted, and after acting in a TV series for so many years, if she doesn't even have superb acting skills, it is simply a ridiculous thing. However, acting in TV and acting in movies are two different things, and Lucy Zheng's current performance has not shown any personal style, so it is normal to not understand Xiao Ran's meaning very well.

After thinking about the joints, Xiao Ran smiled and explained: "I mean, when Fa Ge is good to you, you can act very gentle and virtuous." When you know that he is rolling outside, then you can act fierce and strong, but it doesn't matter if you play a little! ”

Zheng Yuling pondered for a moment, and immediately made an expression and action of staring at her round eyes with her hands on her hips, and then disappeared, and said to Xiao Ran with a smile: "Director, do you think this will work!" ”

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, as expected, he deserved to be the acting skills honed in countless TV series, as long as he clicked on it, he would immediately be able to correctly grasp the way of acting. Nodding approvingly to Zheng Yuling, Xiao Ran looked at Fa Ge, who had been admiring from the side: "Fa Ge, can your performance be a little more relaxed!" ”

In Xiao Ran's opinion, Fa Ge's performance is not bad, but it is obviously a little bit worse. Without waiting for Fa Ge to speak, Xiao Ran waved his big hand and continued: "This is a comedy, you can act as exaggerated as possible, you don't need to be too orthodox!" ”

In Xiao Ran's opinion, Fang Caifa's performance is a bit orthodox, and playing a sissy is just like the real thing. Of course, this made Xiao Ran admire to death, but this was definitely not what he wanted, he needed Fa Ge to exaggerate a little, only in this way could he lose the rather solidified literary and artistic atmosphere on his body.

After Xiao Ran explained it like that, Fa Ge immediately understood, and the filming since then has been smooth without any problems. In the next time, Xiao Ran gave a speech to several masters one by one about what he needed.

Zhang Xueyou has just debuted not long ago, whether singing or acting, so naturally he can't talk about any acting skills. However, as Xiao Ran understood, Xueyou still acted very seriously. Feng Baobao is a senior-level actor, born as a child star, and it is naturally easy to act.

As for Yuan Jieying, like Zhang Xueyou's wife Luo Meiwei, she is also a happy girl group that was popular in Xinyi City. Seriously speaking, it was actually Huang Baiming who was red with one hand. Don't underestimate this group, in this era, this happy group is definitely red and purple, and each girl in this group has her own unique surname. In fact, almost every one of the solo people who flew out of this group was quite successful.

Yuan Jieying is the short-haired one in the happy girl group, and her surname is very stubborn, when Huang Baiming discovered her, it was because of the surname she showed when she broke up with her boyfriend. As for Huang Baiming, he is an old ginger that can't be chewed quickly, and it is always easy to play the role he is good at.

After filming, Xiao Ran said hello to the staff and Fa Ge, and then rushed to buy a gift. Today is Yang Wei's life, this girl has already vaguely hinted at Xiao Ran, and he can't help but go.

When he came to Yang Wei's house, Xiao Ran only glanced around, and was immediately stunned, Yang Wei was the only one in this house. I don't know how many thoughts turned in my head, sat down on the sofa, Xiao Ran handed the gift to Yang Wei: "I wish you a happy life, by the way, what about your brother?" ”

"He's in the company now, I'll be back later, do you have something to do with him?" Yang Wei held Xiao Ran's gift tightly, as if it was a peerless treasure.

Xiao Ran saw Yang Wei's affectionate eyes, and hurriedly shook his hands to deny: "No, no, just ask." By the way, you must have invited a lot of friends today, why didn't you see any of them? ”

"This time, I don't want to have too much fun!" Yang Wei's subtle gaze swept on Xiao Ran's face, and he quickly took it back. I saw her stand up and go to the kitchen: "What do you want to drink?" ”

"Just whatever!"

(In this chapter, I need to explain that Yang Wei and Yang Qi, two brothers and sisters, are a foreshadowing, maybe everyone will not like it in the next chapter, thinking that it is too vulgar, but please don't call me stupid, because it is written with good intentions, just like the Fang brothers and sisters are also foreshadowing)
