"Cards!" Shao Dengyi frowned tightly and shouted: "Chen Qiuzi, don't laugh all the time, have some feelings, and come again!" ”

In a forest in the Yandang Mountain Scenic Area, you can see the entire Yandang Mountain Range standing here, and the endless mountain scenery with the blue sky is very magnificent.

This scene is filmed on the way back to Nanzhao between Ling'er and Xiaoyao, and the two of them get along with each other, and their relationship is getting deeper and deeper. This scene with a beautiful background will present the audience with a very beautiful and innocent feeling.

However, during the filming, there was no such a good atmosphere, and the entire crew was crowded here, including the film crew, field staff and others, which can be said to be a big spoiler of the scenery. But this is not the reason for not playing well, the first thing to do as an actor is to liberate your nature, if you don't even have the courage to act in front of everyone, it's better to go home directly, and be an actor.

Jin Shuai and Chen Qiuzi stood in the woods, acting out this set of shots, but before they could do either expression, they heard another "card!" ”

Everyone in the crew stopped, Shao Dengyi walked up angrily and scolded loudly: "It's exactly the same as just now, what I want is not a smile, it's warmth, it's love, it's heartbeat!" Do you know the way? ”

"Director, I'm ......" Chen Qiuzi listened to Shao Dengyi's reprimand, lowered her head deeply, and became even more anxious, she had tried very hard, but no matter what kind of performance she had, she couldn't pass this lens.

Shao Dengyi suppressed his dissatisfaction, turned around impatiently and walked back to the back of the camera, clapped his hands at everyone, and said, "Do it again!" ”

At this time, it has been more than a week since the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" started, and all the actors have been in place, and they have their roles every day. During this time, the filming was not very smooth, mainly because everyone was not familiar with each other, there was no tacit understanding between each other, and the whole crew was still in the run-in period.

During this time, Bi Xia gained a lot of very valuable experience, and he learned a lot of valuable things from the photographer Wu Saihui, such as the mastery of the lens, when to be fast and when to be slow, and how to divide the storyboard design better and more reasonably.

There are also many directing experiences that you can't learn from reading books, such as how to make the actors move better, such as how to shoot beautiful pictures through lens design, lighting and so on. There is also dealing with the clutter of the entire crew, maintaining the operation of the crew, everything has to be arranged by him, the assistant director, he has made rapid progress, and he understands the real difficulties of being a director.

Different from the filming of "Old Boy", although the shooting of "Old Boy" is also shot with a film camera, in fact, "Old Boy" is just like its nature, it is a graduation work, and the participating teachers and students of the film school are all teachers and students, which has the nature of voluntary help. Besides, "Old Boy" is excellent because of its storytelling, from a photographic point of view, Bi Xia is really not very good, and the picture does not necessarily have much texture. What's more, he is standing on the foundation of his predecessors.

Now there are dozens or hundreds of employees in the crew, and almost everyone in the crew needs him to ask about their work, and the film crew asks what shots will be shot tomorrow and must be prepared in advance; The gaffer said that the lighting should be matched in this way to better reflect the effect; Even the field reporter even asked him if he wanted to order some hot milk when it was cold......

These are still good, they are still in the normal range, and there are some things that are more annoying.

The set designer and the prop master quarrel, the set designer complains that the prop master did not complete the props, and the set designer says that the set designer is too demanding; The art director and the makeup artist quarreled, and they both insisted that only their own designs fit the theme of "Xianxia". Bixia only kept mediating, choosing, and appeasement.

These messes happen almost every day, and they can literally exhaust people. Bi Xia can now understand that almost every artist will say that the director is a "powder keg" and "temper tantrums" on the set, and he is annoyed by these bullshit things every day, and no one can stand it.

In fact, there is also an assistant director who is not easier than Bi Xia, because the investor representative will nag him every day about "the budget is not enough" and the like, and Bi Xia's head is too big to watch, this has to be replaced by himself, he doesn't know if he will get angry and scold the investment representative.

During the filming process, Bi Xia learned the most about how Shao Dengyi instructed the actors to perform, which is the core issue of whether a film can meet the director's requirements.

Even if everyone talks about powerful actors or actresses, they all fail to meet the standards in the director's heart. What's more, there are several half-new actors in "Sword and Fairy".

is like Lin Nana, she often can't grasp the essence of Anu, and the enthusiastic, confused, a little silly, naïve and cute characteristics of Anu are either too restrained or too public, and the performance traces are very heavy. The most worry-free is Wu Meizi, she analyzes the role of Yueru very thoroughly, not only has the demeanor of a young lady, but also has the temperament of a heroine, and has a more brutal and willful face, her shots are basically one pass, and she can't pass it because of other people's involvement, so Shao Dengyi nodded frequently.

Chen Qiuzi is the most problematic among the people, her temperament is very in line with the role of Ling'er, and she has a natural fit, but after all, she is still a newcomer, her acting skills are still a little younger, and her facial demeanor has a big problem, which often gives people a sense of sameness. This scene showing the affection between Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao has been NG nineteen times.

"Cards! Card! Card! Seeing that Chen Qiuzi's performance was getting worse and worse, Shao Dengyi shouted three times like thunder, and his anger broke out all of a sudden, and he waved his hand irritably and said, "Let's rest first." ”

With his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the majesty of the director in the crew was the most prosperous, seeing the director angry, everyone left quietly and walked to the side to relax.

Chen Qiuzi walked to the edge of the woods, squatted down in a daze, frowned, hugged his knees with his hands, and sighed faintly.

"Akiko, what's wrong?" Bi Xia walked to Chen Qiuzi's side, he was not too dirty, he sat on the ground, took out a cigarette and lit one, since he joined the crew, his addiction to smoking has been hooked again. Now he can understand that he basically smokes in any movie, and even if he doesn't smoke, he has his own habits, because of high-intensity work, frequent overtime day and night, coupled with huge pressure, everyone needs a way to release pressure.

Chen Qiuzi glanced at Bi Xia and said apologetically: "Bi Xia, I'm sorry, I ......" She gritted her teeth, shook her head in frustration, and said, "Bi Xia, I don't know what to do." ”

Chen Qiuzi is very grateful to Bi Xia, she is a complete newcomer, she has only played the role of Liang Xiaomei, and she only appeared in that episode, just a few dozen minutes of plot. When she entered the crew, she heard that it was Bi Xia who recommended her to join the crew, and as soon as she came in, she was the heroine, which seemed to be the luck of pie falling from the sky.

So after she came in, she couldn't help but have the mentality of suffering from gains and losses, she wanted to perform well, but the more she didn't perform well, the more she didn't perform well, the more anxious she was, and then she kept NG, she was the person with the most NG times in the entire crew, and she was constantly refreshing her NG number, she was a little out of breath.
