Chapter 65: Shooting at the start
When the bus leaves the bustling city, it slowly drives into a community that looks a little old. The students who began to get off the bus one after another also found that this kind of community, it was difficult for them to see it in the urban area of Mingzhu.
Looking at the three people who were talking and laughing with Lin Xingchen, these seniors who had just come over also knew that the three were Lin Xingchen's roommates. is mainly responsible for the selection of the filming scene and the rental of costumes and props required by the crew.
Looking at so many glamorous young people, many migrant workers and residents living in the community also feel very fresh. I believe that the three young people before said that they wanted to make movies here, but they were not lies!
Under Zhang Mingzhou's introduction, Lin Xingchen met the director of the management committee of this community. Facing the enthusiasm of this middle-aged aunt, Lin Xingchen said with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, this time we came here to shoot and shoot, I am afraid that we will disturb the rest of the owners of the community and cause you trouble!" ”
The director of the management committee, who looked to be at least sixty, heard Lin Xingchen call her aunt, and said with a smile on his face: "No trouble, no trouble!" Before, I thought that these boys were lying to me!
Now that I see you, you really want to make a movie in our community, and I'm too late to be happy! Don't worry, I know that you don't like to be watched by people when you make movies, and I will organize the cadres of the management committee to maintain order for you. ”
Understand that in these years, people are full of curiosity about people who make movies. Even if Lin Xingchen explained to her, this time he was just here to shoot a few clips. But it is still unstoppable, the enthusiasm of the director of the management committee.
When Lin Xingchen was chatting with this aunt, Chen Bin enthusiastically led the classmate in charge of makeup into the rented temporary dressing room. The three directors in charge of filming, under the leadership of Zhang Mingzhou and Lu Xiaojun, took a look at the shooting site in advance.
felt that here, the three directors who really had the appearance of the Chinese community in the 80s quickly recognized Zhang Mingzhou and Lu Xiaojun's ability to choose scenes. The female protagonist and the male protagonist, the scenes in the community, can basically be filmed here.
As one piece of equipment was successively arranged to the filming site, Sun Yizhou, Zhao Siji and others also began to prepare for makeup before shooting. Especially Sun Yizhou, who needs to shoot clips from middle age to old age.
This change of time naturally puts demands on makeup artists. Fortunately, this time, the senior sisters of the art department who are in charge of makeup do have a pair of skillful hands, so that Lin Xingchen can see the makeup effect and feel very satisfied.
Only Sun Yizhou, looking at himself who was obviously at least twenty years old in the mirror, sighed slightly: "Ah! I'm forty years old, that's what I look like? It's miserable! It is said that time is a pig-killing knife, and I now think that the makeup artist's makeup pen is also a ruthless carving knife! ”
These words, which made the senior sisters in charge of makeup very satisfied, changed into a white dress in the eighties, combed a slightly green ponytail, and the whole person seemed to be a few years younger.
Considering that today is the first shooting, Lin Xingchen and the three seniors of the directing department finally decided to shoot the indoor scenes first. This is more or less familiar to the students of the acting department who participated in the recording.
After some preparation, he sat in the bedroom with Zhao Siji, in front of the old desk by the window. Lin Xingchen, who stayed behind the camera, somewhat found that she was a little nervous. Looking into her searching gaze, he gave a thumbs up to encourage her.
Zheng Kai, who was staying in a closet at this time, was also beginning to take a deep breath. Whether this first scene can pass smoothly depends on the first acting skills of the three of them. Anyone who makes a mistake will affect the rest of the shot.
really realized that on-site shooting and acting classes in the academy are completely different concepts of Zheng Kai. also hopes to live up to Lin Xingchen's trust and hand over this important role to him.
Sun Ming, the assistant director in charge of the coordination of the crew, saw that the venue had been cleaned up, and also took a deep breath with a clapperboard: "The first indoor scene of the father and daughter chapter, filming has officially begun!" Action! ”
With the clapperboard knocked, the director in charge of the camera began to shoot Zhao Siji, who was sitting at the desk at the moment. And Zhao Siji at this moment, because he has no lines, he only needs to maintain a normal relationship, and there is basically no problem.
Soon, the camera shifted to the door. The student in charge of the field note signaled that Sun Yizhou, who was standing outside the door, could enter. Sun Yizhou, who was also a little excited and a little nervous, felt that his hands were shaking a little when he took out the key.
Fortunately, there was no camera outside, what he really needed to face was the moment when he pushed the door in. With the sound of the door opening from the door lock, he was responsible for recording Zhao Siji's footage, and quickly captured the expression on Zhao Siji's face at this moment.
This scene is mainly about Zhao Siji, who has entered puberty, and Zheng Kai, a classmate who has a good feeling, and takes advantage of his father's absence to date the boy at home. suddenly encountered his father's blind date failed and went home, and Zheng Kai had to hide in the closet.
Although there are not many lines, whether the actors' facial expressions are in place can also show the acting skills of Zheng Kai and others. For this reason, as Sun Yizhou, who was dressed as a middle-aged man, pushed the door in, everyone saw Sun Yizhou and their eyes fell on Zhao Siji's body for the first time.
'Dad, you're back!' ’
This is Zhao Siji's first line, and it is completed very smoothly. As for the grasp of facial expressions, it cannot be said that it is completely in place. But the director in charge of the camera did not call to stop, which means that the filming can continue.
Sun Yizhou, who seemed a little lost and wolf-like, smiled but suddenly stood in front of the mirror, as if he didn't understand the failure of the previous blind date. This management of the face is revealed directly in the lens through the guò mirror.
When Sun Yizhou didn't hear the shout to stop, he suddenly pulled away Zheng Kai who was hiding in the closet with a very surprised look, and in Zhao Siji's nervous expression.
What everyone didn't expect was that it might be because they were too nervous, or it could be because the wardrobe was smaller than they imagined. Sun Yizhou opened the wardrobe a little too suddenly, so that Zheng Kai, who was about to change his position, fell out of the wardrobe directly.
As the director shouted 'Cut', everyone knew that this first scene could only be temporarily stopped because of this accident. looked at Zheng Kai, who fell to the ground, his face was flushed and he said sorry, and everyone forgave him very much.
On the contrary, Sun Yizhou, who understood how Zheng Kai fell, also said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I may have pulled it too suddenly just now, and I didn't give you a little time to prepare." Got you falling, okay? ”
Facing Sun Yizhou's apology, Zheng Kai smiled and said, "It's okay, I may be too nervous." After falling like this, I don't feel nervous. Sorry for the trouble. ”
At this moment, Lin Xingchen, who was with Zhao Jun and checked the previous shots, also felt that the character expressions of Zhao Siji and Sun Yizhou were still in place. This means that the front footage does not have to be reshot.
Seeing this, Lin Xingchen was a little relieved, and said with a smile: "Brother Kai, it's okay." You prepare, and if it's okay, we'll move on. Starting again from Sungora's wardrobe, the previous shots are all over. ”
As the final inspector of the shooting effect, Lin Xingchen knows it very well. This work, naturally, cannot be compared with a real movie. plus clips, more with text and songs, the actors' lines don't need too much.
As long as the actor's expression is in place and there are no big flaws, it can basically pass. Therefore, the first shot in this room is also a good start. The rest depends on the acting skills of Zheng Kai and Sun Yizhou next.
Fortunately, after this fall, Zheng Kai seems to have really relaxed a lot. When the wardrobe was opened, looking at Sun Yizhou's stunned expression that turned into anger, he also substituted for the role he played.
'Hello, Uncle Zhao! I'm here to study at your house! ’
In response to him, it was an angry slap from Sun Yizhou, and at the same time on the set, there was also Zhao Siji's scream. With the director Zhao Jun nodding, Sun Ming made a timely decision and shouted Cut, and everyone immediately looked at the camera.
In order to give the three of them a chance to see the effect of the shooting, Lin Xingchen said with a smile: "Siji, Brother Sun, Brother Kai, you all come and take a look." The effect of the first scene in this room! Overall, it's pretty good. ”
The three of them, who breathed a sigh of relief, also hurriedly walked over, put down Zhao Jun's return, and looked at their previous recording results. And Zhao Jun also pointed out in a timely manner that Sun Yizhou's expression changed before, and there seemed to be a pause in the middle.
And Zhao Siji and Zheng Kai also pointed out the problem of zài in the filming. It's just that today's shooting is different from film shooting. As long as the shooting effect meets the requirements, there is naturally no need to reshoot.
pointed out the problems, and also hoped that the three of them could correct these problems and improve their acting skills in the subsequent shooting. After all, after filming this scene, the next thing is a series of scenes that happened at home between Zhao Siji and his father after work.
In addition, there is a scene where Zhao Siji takes Zheng Kai to the door, hoping to get his father's blessing. These scenes, as messy as they may seem. But a movie is finally edited together from these seemingly messy clips.
And most of the scenes that need to be filmed today are in the script, and various scenes in the community take place. After the filming of the scene here is completed, the crew will choose to go to the next location to shoot.
Although it was only a ten-minute music micro-movie, it still made Lin Xingchen understand that making a movie was far more difficult than he imagined. Fortunately, from now on, he will have the opportunity to participate in the production of films, and accumulate experience for the real production of a film in the future. This kind of experience is invaluable for an entertainer who aspires to succeed!
