Today is the first day, and the crew is actually relatively relaxed. After all, acting has a word, and it needs to play another completely irrelevant person, simulating the psychology and actions of the other party. Actors are also human beings, and no one can get into the state all at once, and they need to adjust slowly, so today is relatively easy. After going to another venue in the afternoon to set up the equipment, Xue Jianxi can not even use it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, because Ji Yuanyuan's scenes will be filmed in the abandoned warehouse for the past two days.

Xue Jianxi came early in the morning, he was afraid that Ji Yuanyuan would find it difficult to enter the role alone, so he specially came over to play for her, and her professionalism was admired. Professionalism is a thing, many people will only stare at some shooting difficulties, in fact, the more bland, the more details can see a person's professionalism.

filming with a high fever, filming with an injury, is called dedication; is not afraid of hardship, filming in single clothes at more than ten degrees below zero, soaking in dung and water to star, it is indeed admirable; But like Xue Jianxi, in order to make the process of the crew easier, he gave up rest and came here to play for everyone, which is also dedicated. And the more these little things, the more details, the more difficult it is to persevere, Bi Xia was deeply moved.

"Wood, you will direct today's play!" Wenbo pulled Bi Xia to the camera and said with a smile.

Since the name wood was called away by Lin Nana yesterday, it has slowly spread to the entire crew. When everyone called him like this, although Bi Xia showed a very depressed look, he was not angry, it was more of a joke of helplessness, and everyone relaxed their minds and began to call him that.

Bi Xia is a big star, although he is only an assistant director in the crew, but people's popularity is not fake, they can call Bi Xia's nickname, it seems that they are very familiar with Bi Xia, and they all feel that their faces are bright. Now even the museum has been affected.

"Director, it's not good." Bi Xia was shocked, Wenbo actually asked him to direct today's scene. This support is not without risk.

"There's nothing good or bad, I understand your level, you have no problem with literary drama, go on." Wenbo is very optimistic about Bi Xia, which is intended to cultivate him.

When everyone was ready, they found that Bi Xia was standing in the director's position and Wenbo was standing beside Bi Xia, and the shock in everyone's hearts was indescribable, but seeing that Wenbo didn't say anything, they naturally held it in their hearts one by one. I almost didn't get sick.

"Exxon!" Bi Xia took a deep breath and shouted loudly.

The camera was facing Ji Yuanyuan, slowly zooming in, and as far as she could see, she looked a little nervous, and her hand holding the wire trembled slightly, "Hey, hey, sir." Help, please, please, don't hang up. That's when the phone went through. Ji Yuanyuan said quickly, his voice a little choked.

Bi Xia looked at Ji Yuanyuan's performance in the camera, and always felt that something was wrong, as if the expected thrill in the centrifugal was a lot worse.

"Cards!" Bixia shouted to stop. Standing behind the camera, he thought for a while, walked over and said to Ji Yuanyuan, "Sister Yuanyuan." Your performance is not strong enough, you should be very scared at this time, this phone is your only life-saving straw, you have to hold on to it, so your mood at the moment is eager, and very afraid, because you are afraid that the other party will ignore you, afraid that the other party will hang up the phone, and at the same time there is hope when you see that glimmer of light when you get through the phone, and the emotion should be more intense. ”

"Yes, Director." Ji Yuanyuan nodded, indicating understanding. She brewed her feelings for a moment and made an OK gesture.

"Let's go!" Bisha shouted again.

It's just that this shooting still can't satisfy him, Ji Yuanyuan has worked hard, Bi Xia can see it, and at the same time, Xue Jianxi is also actively cooperating with her to the lines, but no matter what, the relationship is always a little worse.

"Let's go!"

"Come again!"

"Exxon!"

Start, shout stop, start again, shout stop, this shot has been NG seven or eight times. Whether it is the actor, the photographer, or Bi Xia himself, he has a trace of impatience.

Wen Bo had been quietly watching Bi Xia on the side, and then he patted Bi Xia and said, "Wood, come with me." ”

"Director, I'm sorry, I messed up." Bi Xia's expression was a little impressive, and the official director was by his side, but he was so involved that he forgot all about Wenbo's identity.

"What do you say, you do a great job, you have to make a movie with such an attitude, otherwise you won't be able to make a good movie. However, I see that you shouted a lot of stops, is there anything wrong with it? Wen Bo asked with concern.

"Director Wen, I can't say it, I just feel that the tension of the plot is not enough, and I feel that the actors' emotional investment is not enough!" Bi Xia said the problem in his heart: "Actually, I know that Ji Yuanyuan has performed very well, but I always feel that there is a little bit missing, and I don't know how to adjust it." ”

Wenbo thought about it, and suddenly he smiled dumbly and said, "Wood, maybe the little thing you think is missing has nothing to do with performance. You have to know that there are not only actors in a shot, sometimes props also play a certain role, and sometimes even play a crucial role. Zoom in to the whole movie, the performance is just one of them, the editing, the soundtrack, all of which make the performance more powerful. We are no longer in the era of silent films, if you try to watch movies with the sound off, maybe many films that felt very shocking at the time, you will not have so many feelings. ”

Bi Xia listened carefully, and suddenly felt that what Wenbo said was very right, just like a 3D movie, the stunts are gorgeous and immersive, but changing many 3D movies into ordinary movies may not have such an effect. There are also some Hollywood blockbusters, and sound effects also occupy an important place in them, without these sound effects, the movie effect is afraid to drop many levels.

Just like "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", the soundtrack is made by him, and without these soundtracks, the atmosphere of many scenes would not be able to be brought out. Bi Xia brought up the part "Keep Talking" in his mind, and saw this scene, and when he watched it, he felt that there was not enough power here, so he really wanted to go further, and now he understands that maybe it will be different to do some soundtrack at this juncture. Of course, he felt that the strength was not enough, and it had a lot to do with Da S's performance, Da S did not fully explore the psychology of the heroine in this shot.

"Bi Xia, you have to know that you can't think about having the best movie effect on the set, that's impossible. The little thing you feel is missing, maybe not on the spot. ”

Bi Xia nodded silently, he seemed to be really overly dependent on individual performances, forgetting that performances are mutually beneficial, and movies and editing. There is also a soundtrack, as well as lighting, props and other elements.

The design of the picture, the lens language of the close-up and long shots, and the post-editing, these are all films, and they are all the "directors" of the director.

"I seem to understand, Xie Lu Xie Wendao." Bi Xia bowed, Wenbo's enlightenment was very important to him. made him more aware of the meaning of the word director Lu Dao.

"Got it? Go if you understand, I'm optimistic about you. Wenbo really felt that Bi Xia was passionate about movies and had amazing talent, so he tolerated Bi Xia and gave him opportunities, and his teacher did the same to him back then.

Bi Xia did not turn on the phone immediately, but took out the mobile phone, now it is the era of intelligence, and the mobile phone Internet access is too convenient. Bixia searched for a lot of music on the Internet. I finally found a more commonly used soundtrack, and I feel that it can bring out the atmosphere of the scene very well.

Bi Xia handed the phone to the radio team and asked them to play the music when the phone was turned on.

Ji Yuanyuan's expression was a little nervous, and the hand holding the wire trembled slightly. Sweat dripped down his forehead, and more of it slid down his cheeks. "Hey, hey, sir. Help, please, please. Never hang up the phone. At this time, the phone was connected, Ji Yuanyuan's voice was choked, and he finished saying this in sobbing.

"Uh, uh, miss, please don't play on the phone, that's all, bye!" Xue Jianxi continued to say on the side.

The soundtrack on the side sounded, and there was a silence at the scene, Ji Yuanyuan was magically nervous, and stopped crying, but her frowning brows and slightly trembling body all showed that she was not calm at the moment.

"Hey, hey, sir, my name is Wang Haiqing. I've been kidnapped......" Ji Yuanyuan seemed to be a helpless woman who had been kidnapped at the moment, she was hesitant and helpless, looking around distractedly while talking on the phone.

Bi Xia's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, it was amazing! That's it, the camera is facing Ji Yuanyuan, giving a long close-up, and slowly pulling it to the middle shot.

"Cards! Great, Sister Yuanyuan, this is a queen-level interpretation! Bixia excitedly praised.

Everyone gave applause, everyone heard Bi Xia's words, maybe they thought it was a bit exaggerated, but what did it matter, it was not too much to give any praise at this time, not to mention that everyone thought Ji Yuanyuan's performance was really great.

Wenbo clapped his hands and said, "It's great, I feel nervous, and it's very successful." ”

Ji Yuanyuan raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat on the ground panting, exhaled a long breath, and said: "When the music played just now, I really thought I was kidnapped, I was completely Wang Haiqing, this feeling is great!" ”

With this happy shooting, it will be much easier to shoot Ji Yuanyuan's pictures next, everything is difficult at the beginning, with experience, there will be a direction in the future, Ji Yuanyuan feels that his acting skills are improving, this young Bi Xia, not only writes scripts well, but even directing skills are so good, it's really unimaginable.

Time slipped away slowly, and soon came to the speeding car chase shots that Bi Xia was looking forward to, which Bi Xia wanted to learn the most, and the mainland director had no experience in it.

The first stunt shot is a shot of Abang chasing a kidnapper in a small car. For the filming of this shot, the crew of "Keep Talking" applied to the Xiangjiang government and closed this section of the road for a day, which cost a lot of money.

On the road, the protagonist's car is followed by a pickup truck, the pickup truck has been fixed with a camera, will track and shoot, there is also a camera next to the road, which is shot from a distance, for this scene, Wenbo used four cameras.

The speed of the car is actually not fast, it is more about the post-editing effect.

After this paragraph, there is a shot of the protagonist in the passage under the bridge, this scene, Xue Jianxi himself played, Bi Xia could see his palms were sweating, showing his nervousness at the moment.

"Let's go!" With Wenbo's order. Xue Jianxi drove the car and accelerated forward, and another camera followed the other car and walked beside him.

The underground passage is wide, but it is divided in half by a ditch in the middle of the road, and one side can only accommodate the width of a small car. Xue Jianxi's car was swaying on the side. The vehicles in Xiangjiang are different from those in the mainland, and the cab is on the right, so in this shot, the side of the cab will occasionally rub against the wall, rubbing sparks in all directions. I saw Bi Xia sweating in the palms of his hands behind him.

"It's good, it's almost over, come on!" Bi Xia is atmospheric for everyone in his heart. Suddenly, Xue Jianxi's car rubbed strong sparks with the wall, and then his car leaned to the middle, one side of the tire was stuck in the ditch in the middle, and with a "bang", the car ground rubbed against the ground, the tire burst, and the car smoked.

"Quick, quick, help!" Bi Xia reacted quickly, took the fire extinguisher and hurriedly ran up, he opened the door, pulled Xue Jianxi down, and the two ran back without looking back.

"Brother Tiger, is there anything wrong with people?" After running for a while, Bi Xia asked, it was really thrilling just now. It's not easy to be an actor, in fact, Xue Jianxi doesn't have to work so hard, but for the sake of truth, he really let go.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Xue Jianxi was also a little shocked, it was too exciting! "Director, I'm fine." Seeing Wenbo and others coming up, he said.

"No, let's change the car." Ye Chengke checked the car and said.

Bi Xia looked at the towed car, speechless for a while, and finally knew where the budget was gone.

This time, there was finally a thrill. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but this scene was the simplest flying car scene in the film.

In the next paragraph, everyone is waiting for it, which is a scene where the protagonist drives in the opposite direction. Bi Xia now knows that these cars driving in the opposite direction are full of stuntmen, and the whole series of episodes will be completed by them. At this time, Xue Jianxi was not in the car, he was a stuntman, Xue Jianxi would make up some shots in the future, and then connect them through editing.

These cars were pulled out of the scrapyard, and then some changes were made, and some car signs were pasted, and if they were all good cars, no amount of budget would be enough.

Watching a car crash together, Bi Xia felt his brows jump, watching this kind of scene on the spot is obviously different from being in front of the TV, it is too spectacular, the sound of "bang bang" when the car crashes makes Bi Xia's heart restless.

The most spectacular was the shot of a truck flying over a Coke. This shot is done with four cameras in front of the front and back. Originally, this kind of flying car was not too difficult, but the difficult thing was that the car had to drag long mesh, which would get entangled with the wheels if you were not careful. And after the flying, the net overturns the car, which is also very difficult, and the car cannot be overturned, but only back.

This shot was shot three times by the crew, and three times it was three cars scrapped. Bi Xia decided that next time there would be such a movie, he must find a domestic company to sponsor it, and he should give them soft advertising. This money is spent, and it hurts. (To be continued......)
