The first scene filmed after the opening ceremony does not start with the New Year's party duì in the New Year's when it rains white hairy snow, but skips directly to the storyline that takes place after Troy and other protagonists return to school in March after the New Year.

Of course, it's not that the crew doesn't want to shoot in the order of the plot in the film, it's just that the time and climate are not right at the moment, so what kind of snow background is there to shoot this New Year's scene!

At 11 o'clock in the morning, when all the working groups of the crew gave feedback to the director that they were ready, they entered a place about 10 meters to the left of the main entrance of the school gate, and the No. 1 camera set up here officially started the filming of "Song and Dance" with the shouting of "action" by the field attendant.

The first shot is aimed at the floor plan of East High School in the square at the entrance of East High School, and then the photographer gives it a close-up and slowly turns the camera up, taking pictures of some young male and female high school students walking through the floor plan. Then I saw a yellow school bus parked at the school gate, and Troy, played by the male protagonist No. 1 Qi Lei, confidently stepped out of the car.

Immediately, his appearance was supported by a large number of classmates around him, including the vice captain of the varsity basketball team and Troy's old friend Chad Brown. Danfoss was very happy and stepped forward enthusiastically put a hand on Troy's shoulder and said, "Troy, Happy New Year!" ”

"Chad and Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, everyone!" Troy, who had said hello to Chad at this time, said hello to his classmates around him. "Yes, this year will be the Year of the Happy Wildcat! We're going to be in the finals and you're going to take us beyond the top. Chad shoved the basketball into Troy.

At this time, the surrounding classmates began to shout the slogan: "Who is the champion?" ”

"Wildcat."

"Who's the champion?"

"Wildcat."

The crowd's play is over here, and the director on the sidelines, Kenny. Ortega shouted a pause and complimented, "Cut!" ~Great, guys. We had a good start today, the play was good, it was wonderful! Okay, this scene is over, hurry up and come over to help clean up, the actors are preparing for the next scene, and the photography and props teams are also ......"

What is a Hollywood-level director, Kenny in front of him. Ortega gave a good interpretation to Qi Lei.

Although these tasks can also be done by Reviver, but to do it as easily as the former, in the end, Reviver still lacks shortcomings.

Then the crew moved the filming location into the school and began filming some of the events that happened after the students returned to school on the first day after the New Year.

Because they are all literary dramas, and the acting skills of the actors are not high, the crew has several scenes in a row in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, and the scenes are all ng a few times and then pass through the guò!

But Qi Lei knew that these were just appetizers before the meal, and there was a gluttonous feast waiting for him to nibble on later!

……

The scene on the first day was relaxed, and it passed without any pressure.

A few minds of the crew considered that the crew was working on the first day of filming today, and many details of the work needed to be run-in, and it was not appropriate to shoot too difficult scenes. Second, it is also because the scenes that can be arranged on this day can only be staged, and they are just inconsequential transition scenes!

This is actually related to the special environment of the set, although there are still several days before the official start of school, there are still some students in East High School who do not go home or go out to work during the holidays and stay in school. So there are a lot of students who are participating in the extras today, and there are also a lot of viewers who are curious to look at the filming distance.

But this is also the most desired effect of the crew, if the school is empty, then they really don't know where to find these thousands of extras when filming. And even if you find it, if you want to coordinate them well to act with the protagonists in the play, it will definitely be extremely difficult for everyone in the crew to cooperate well in the filming process!

By the next day, the real difficulties began to appear in front of everyone in the crew. That's the essence of this movie – how to show the cabaret and capture it in the perfect shot!

The first scene tells the story of Troy and his friend Chad and his teammates training on the basketball court, and Troy is thinking about the musical while concentrating on the ball on the surface!

In terms of performance difficulty, the performance difficulty of this scene is not the highest, and it can only be said to be a moderately difficult scene in this series of films.

The only thing that is special is that the actors are in the performance, how to integrate basketball and hip-hop dance movements together is the most important difficulty point in this scene!

Before the start of filming, the crew spent more than an hour in the basketball hall of East High School preparing for the pre-filming matters. Especially the dozen or so young actors in the cast team, they kept repeating and practicing the waiting scene actions in the audience for a second.

You must know that the crew didn't have a lot of time to film this morning, although it was spring break in East High School at this time, there were still students in the school who were staying in school, so the equipment in the school was still in normal use.

In other words, the time that Genie can use to film in the arena today is only 4 hours. And today, in addition to filming this scene in the stadium, they also have to use a qiē time to rehearse the song and dance scene at the end of the play here......

In terms of time, the work of the crew today can be described as tight and tight, but even so, director Kenny . Ortega still spent so much time preparing after discussing with Qi Lei, who is the leading actor and another assistant director, which shows how much they value this scene!

And when the crew officially started filming this scene for the first time, it was just like Kenny. As Ortega and Qi Lei thought, the first start of filming quickly fell off.

The reason for the call to stop is obvious, and it is the most important reason why directors Kenny and Qi Lei are worried that this scene will not be performed well: the actors have problems with the state of dance performance in the film!

Sitting in front of Camera No. 1 and watching the playback on the small screen of the camera, both Qi Lei and director Kenny calmed down with a bad face.

Originally, I thought that although this "Youth Musical" is difficult to film, its difficulty should not be high to get there, you just need to pay attention to it, then it should be fine! …… Unexpectedly, after the filming started, the two realized that they still underestimated the difficulty of filming this movie!

Subsequently, after discussing with the photographer and others, the two temporarily made some changes on the set to prepare for their second shooting of this scene!

After a qiē was ready, the field attendant took the boot card and shouted in front of the camera of the No. 1 camera: "The second shooting of the first section of the basketball court of "Song and Dance Youth", 3, 2, 1, action!" ”

Peng, Peng, Peng, Peng, Peng, Squeak ~ Peng......

I saw Qi Lei wearing a red basketball jersey holding a basketball in front of the camera and several other supporting actors, using a ball to beat the song and dance in the play with the beginning of the music beat.

It's an innovative shot with a strong sense of rhythm and movement, complemented by the sound of several actors rubbing their basketballs and sneakers against the ground...... If it is filmed, it will definitely be the most important scene in the beginning of this film!

Although this head-lifting performance is only a few seconds of footage, it is difficult to synchronize the actors in it. As a result, the second start of filming was also stopped by Kenny, the director on the side: "cut! ~~ No, guys, your cooperation is still a little worse, pay attention to the time difference! … And Jimmy, Jason, you two are not in good position, pay attention to the camera, the camera! ~”

ps: The hot weather brings a hot irritability, and the cloud code is so big that I want to hit the tofu and commit suicide! ~
