Chapter Seventy-Seven: Shooting (1)
When everyone gradually quieted down, Bi Xia ordered a reporter again, this is a woman in her thirties, ordinary in appearance, but under the exquisite makeup, the well-tailored professional attire is set off, looking professional and spiritual.
"Hello, Bi Xia, I'm a reporter from the entertainment version of Yiwang, what kind of story is "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and are you creating this story when you disappeared for a while?"
"Hello." The corners of Bi Xia's mouth rose slightly, with a warm smile on his face, and said: ""Fairy Sword" is a very beautiful story, this story has always existed in my mind, once I made a song for one of the characters of this story, "It's Been Quiet", I'm sure you have all heard it. ”
After a pause, after everyone digested this passage, Bixia continued: "I have always wanted to write this story and let it meet the audience, fortunately this story is favored by the company and is willing to shoot it into a TV series, which is why I am sitting here." ”
As soon as Bi Xia finished speaking, a reporter raised his hand to signal, and after Bi Xia nodded in agreement, the reporter got up and asked: "Bi Xia, you are also a director yourself, haven't you ever thought about directing this drama yourself?" ”
As soon as this question was asked, the whole scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone was looking forward to Bi Xia's answer. This question is a minefield, misleading Bi Xia, if Bi Xia answers yes, he will inevitably offend Shao Dengyi, if Bi Xia answers no, then he will be fouled by everyone as a director who has no pursuit.
Bi Xia heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, since his debut, he has been helped by many people, Zhang Jing, Tang Jili, Teacher Sanbao, etc., this is the first time he has met someone with evil thoughts, but he still smiled and replied: "It's a lie to say that I don't want to direct, it's just that I know my ability very well, I still have something to learn, and now I don't have the ability to independently direct such a huge play, so in addition to the identity of the screenwriter, I also have an identity as an assistant director, which is also my own request." I need to learn from Director Shao, and I am eager to learn from him, Director Shao's ability is obvious to all, and I believe that Director Shao will be able to shoot works that satisfy everyone, including me. ”
As soon as Bi Xia's words fell, there was a round of applause from the audience, Bi Xia's answer was humble and sharp, taking care of everyone, and at the same time letting everyone see that Bi Xia was not without edge, but his edge was hidden behind the gentleness.
"Okay, today is the press conference of "Fairy Sword", please pay more attention to our leading actors." Bi Xia saw that the reporters in the audience were still ready to move, and hurriedly changed the topic.
His performance was seen by several peers around him, Wu Meizi smiled, and Shao Dengyi nodded with satisfaction. Chen Qiuzi, a newcomer, was adored, and Zheng Luotie and Lin Nana were curious about him.
……
Yandang Mountain is a famous mountain in the southeast coast of China, listed as a world geopark by UNESCO, and the volcanic eruption has created a magnificent landscape of Yandang Mountain, which has the reputation of "the first mountain in the southeast".
Yandang Film and Television City, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, is backed by Yandang Mountain. Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province is the economically developed boundary of the southeast coast, Yandang Film and Television City chose here because of the beautiful scenery here, there is a grace of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the transportation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province is convenient, in recent years, Yandang Film and Television City has gradually become the largest film and television base in the south, and more than half of the film and television dramas in the country come from here.
It's November, and it's getting colder. At this time, it was a sunny morning, and Yandang Film and Television City was already full of people, and the crew filming here had already started.
On an antique street in the film and television city, there are crowds of people standing in twos and threes, they are all extras of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and the crew contacted the foremen who specialize in providing extras and hired these actors who are looking for opportunities in Yandang Film and Television City.
Now, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is about to officially start filming the first set of shots.
This set of shots is the scene of the actor "Li Xiaoyao" going down to the street to buy vegetables at the order of Aunt Li, but he was caught playing on the street, which caused Aunt Li to chase him with a big spoon.
This scene was written in the original version as Li Xiaoyao farting with two girls next door on the street, and there were nondescript sentences such as "If a woman is rich", "I told you to go grocery shopping, but you are picking up girls on the street". In order to add some humor to the lines, the original editor forgot to remember the background of the TV series itself, which increased the laughter but lowered the taste of the whole plot.
After thinking about it, Bi Xia basically deleted these lines, although the two girls next door were there, the interaction between them and the protagonist was changed to just simple bragging, less flirting and ambiguous.
In the middle of the street, the photographic equipment has been placed, the personnel of the photography team are debugging the most rear, the photographer Yang Chengxi is talking with the gaffer Gua Ge, determining the lighting and exposure, Bi Xia is listening carefully with his ears pricked up next to him, he, the assistant director, is to assist the director to complete various arrangements, he has completed the task of laying the track, so he has time to follow the photographer and learn photography skills and experience.
Although he doesn't have to shoot himself, but in the case of some special lens use and requirements to achieve certain picture effects, the more he knows, the more sure he will be for film shooting.
The crew members all performed their duties, and those who finished their work for the time being waited on the sidelines, standing away from the camera. Chen Qiuzi, Lin Nana, Bao Yu and other leading actors also stood together and chatted.
"When you're going to shoot, you have to look rushed but not panicked when you're dodging." After Bi Xia made sure that there was no problem with the photography and lighting, he once again confessed to the extras. "You must know that this scene is staged almost every morning, and you are already familiar with it, so you can't have a panicked expression."
"It's good, I know it." The extras all replied loudly. They have a good impression of this famous singer who is also the assistant director of this play. Ordinary directors or assistant directors only need to make their own requests when they are instructed, and never explain the reason to them, but Bi Xia will be soft-spoken and kind, which makes them feel respected. For them who live at the bottom of the entertainment industry, this respect is more important than anything else.
“OK!” Bi Xia made a gesture to the field note, and the field note also made an OK gesture to Bi Xia to signal that he was ready. Bi Xia returned to Shao Dengyi's side with satisfaction and stood quietly.
"Let's shoot!" With Shao Dengyi's order, the scene reporter took the scene board and shouted the serial number and scene number of this shot in front of the camera, which was to facilitate the editing work in the later stage. After the scene was finished, and the clipboard was knocked down, Shao Dengyi shouted again: "Exxon!" ”
With his voice, the extras suddenly moved and entered the performance state.
Bi Xia's eyes were on the viewfinder, and he saw that everyone was rushing to run, quickly packing up the vegetable baskets and bun shops one by one, as if they were hiding from something, and there was a noise from behind.
"Very good...... Very good......" with Shao Dengyi's voice: "Card!" Bisha raised his arm excitedly behind him. Shao Dengyi glanced back at him and smiled.
