Chapter 85: The Filming of the First Scene
The filming scene of the first scene is Cao Cao asking Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the main hall of the Han Dynasty to abolish the three dukes and restore the prime minister system.
In this scene, Cao Cao and Emperor Han Xian appeared for the first time, and the most important thing was to create Cao Cao's domineering and arrogant character and Emperor Han Xian's cowardly personality who wanted to resist but was helpless.
The preparation of the crew was carried out in an orderly manner, in the main hall, the photography staff of the crew was seizing the time to adjust the photography equipment, and Lin Yuquan and Zhao Fei discussed the relevant lighting and photography arrangements.
In the make-up dressing room next to the main hall, several makeup artists and costumers skillfully put on makeup for the actors and guide everyone to dress.
These clothes are all specially customized according to the costumes of the Han Dynasty, not only ordinary court clothes and civilian clothes, many of the props in "Red Cliff" are specially designed and customized by Lin Yuquan according to the memories of cultivators, such as weapons, armor, warships, etc., and as early as when the filming was just announced, he spent 50 million yuan to make zuò props and arrange related scenes.
When the actor came out with makeup and dressing, Lin Yuquan hurriedly stopped Chen Jianbing and Liu Ye to talk about the play, Liu Ye played the role of Emperor Han Xian, originally because Emperor Han Xian only had a few shots in total, he was going to find a new actor, but later after Liu Ye joined the Yuquan family, he naturally gave him this role.
And he plans to finish filming Liu Ye's scene today, so that he can leave the crew tomorrow and go back to prepare for the filming of "Happiness Like Flowers".
"Brother Ye, the Emperor Han Xian you play is a cowardly person who is submissive, when you speak under Cao Cao's reprimand, you must have a trembling feeling, and when the minister comes out to refute Cao Cao, at that moment, you are happy and excited, but remember that although you are happy and excited at this time, the range of action must be small and not obvious, and at the same time, when Cao Cao looks at you, you have to immediately return to the original cowardly state, and then do what I say, okay?" Lin Yuquan said while demonstrating the action.
"Well, no problem." Liu Ye nodded.
"Teacher Chen." Lin Yuquan said to Chen Jianbin that because he was not familiar with Chen Jianbing, he did not call him Brother Chen or Brother Bin, and he chose to call Teacher Chen is also particular, because Chen Jianbin stayed in the school to teach after graduating from the master's degree in the performance department of the Kyoto Theater Academy.
"Director Lin, you say." Chen Jianbing said with a smile.
"Cao Cao is a character with a very complex personality, but in the first scene, I only need you to be domineering, but this domineering is definitely not arrogant and unreasonable, on the contrary, you have to be reasonable, your domineering is because you feel that what you say conforms to the righteousness of the world, your words are reasonable, and this scale must be just right." Lin Yuquan told Chen Jianbing his thoughts.
"When I read the script before, I had already figured out the script, Director Lin, don't worry." Chen Jianbing had confidence on his face.
"Okay, you guys read the script first, memorize the lines, and the filming will officially start in ten minutes." Lin Yuquan immediately explained relevant matters to other participating role actors and extras.
When it was almost over, Lin Yuquan inspected the scenery in the palace and the preparation of the staff, confirmed that there were no mistakes, and Xiao Yang and Zhao Fei made eye gestures, and then returned to the monitor screen, looked at his watch and waited, and soon, a clear voice resounded on the set: "Attention to all departments, everyone to pay attention, each in place, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1." As he said this, he waved his hand vigorously and shouted, "action!" ”
In the monitor screen, Emperor Han Xian played by Liu Ye was bored listening to the ministers in the hall, and then the camera suddenly switched to the palace door, Cao Cao walked in from the palace gate, and came to the front of the ministers without pause, in the camera, Emperor Han Xian's expression moved slightly, and his body involuntarily sat upright, Cao Cao was facing Emperor Han Xian, slightly arched his hand, and his mouth was full of words, after Cao Cao finished speaking, Emperor Han Xian's mouth opened slightly and said.
When the camera lens was about to switch to Cao Cao's face again, Lin Yuquan hurriedly shouted: "Stop, Brother Ye, you should have a feeling of unconsciously trembling and being scared when you speak, instead of speaking in a low voice like now, pay attention to the trembling and fear in your heart, not the low volume or stuttering in your mouth, you can imagine that your father is very strict and domineering, in order to please him, you are forced to agree to the feeling of him talking, think about it, brew good feelings, let's shoot again, okay!" ”
"Okay, then trouble Mr. Chen, you start with the last two sentences, prepare, action!"
The moment he shouted, Chen Jianbing's love was immediately activated, his eyes looked at Liu Ye as if he was talking, driven by his love, Liu Ye finally brought out the natural expression that Lin Yuquan needed, especially when he spoke, the subtle changes in his facial expression can be described as extremely expressive,
"Okay, good, that's it, cut, everybody will take a break, and we'll take a set of shots." Lin Yuquan shouted with satisfaction.
"Brother Yuquan, come and drink water." Liu Yifei stood in front of Lin Yuquan and handed over a bottle of mineral water.
"Well, thank you!" Lin Yuquan took the water, took a sip, and asked with a smile: "Yifei, why didn't you go back to the hotel with Sister Binbin and them, and there is no role for you, besides, Auntie stayed in the hotel alone, you should go back to accompany her!" ”
"My mother said that "Red Cliff" is different from the "Love Winner" and "May Love" I filmed before, and the opportunity is rare, let me watch more and learn more." Liu Yifei shook his head and said.
Lin Yuquan felt that Liu's mother had a tutoring and acting plan for Liu Yifei, but to be honest, Liu's mother was sometimes too protective of Liu Yifei, so that Liu Yifei had no sense of independence in her heart, and she also lacked the pursuit of acting skills.
"Did you feel when you watched Teacher Chen and Brother Ye act just now?" Lin Yuquan put down the water bottle and said.
"I feel that they are very good at acting, unlike when I filmed before, there were a lot of laughs or NG scenes on the set." Liu Yifei said seriously with a frowning face.
"Then have you ever thought about filming like them." Lin Yuquan nodded and asked.
"Can I? They're amazing. Liu Yifei looked at the two people who were memorizing their lines and said with little confidence.
"Don't think about whether you can do it, if you veto yourself before you start doing it, then you will subconsciously feel that you can't do it, and how can you go all out to reach or even surpass them, so first of all, you have to take them as your goal, and then try your best to do what you think will help you achieve the goal, of course, it can also be the other way around, you believe that you will be able to reach or even surpass them, and then go backwards to achieve this goal, what things need to be done, if you do all these things well, You'll succeed naturally. Lin Yuquan said slowly, and then looked meaningfully at the girl who was thinking because of his words: "During the filming of this movie, you can watch Liang Chaowei, Chen Daoming, Zhou Xun and others acting, I will also do my best to help you, I will try my best to delay your role as much as possible, and then I will use your role to test the results of this time, I hope not to disappoint me." ”
Liu Yifei didn't speak, looked directly into Lin Yuquan's eyes, bit his lip and nodded.
"What are you two talking about? Yuquan, it's almost time to rest, and it's time to continue shooting. Xiao Yang came to the two of them and said.
"Okay, I know, Yifei, you watch from the side, I'm filming." Lin Yuquan said, his eyes looked around, and shouted loudly: "All departments are ready, shoot the next shot immediately, the relevant actors are in place, are you ready?" Okay, action! ”
The second scene is Cao Cao's mention of the abolition of the three dukes and the restoration of the prime minister system, and a minister came out to obstruct it, and was killed by Cao Cao on the spot.
This set of shots undoubtedly reveals Cao Cao's power and decisiveness, while the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the powerless Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty show that the rule of the Han dynasty has died.
Because Chen Jianbing and Liu Ye are in quite good condition, the next shooting is getting smoother and smoother, and all the shots of the first scene have been filmed before noon, and Lin Yuquan has also suspended filming and rested for an hour and a half at noon, but for actors who have filming in the afternoon, they generally need to start preparing half an hour in advance, including makeup, costumes, and memorizing lines.
