On the morning of this day, Bi Xia, Zhu Jianye and others gathered in the classroom of the Performance Department of the Film Academy. Compared with other courses, the acting department courses are more open, in addition to the ordinary classrooms, they also have a very spacious lecture hall for the usual acting courses, which is a term in the acting profession called liberating nature.

Bi Xia and the others borrowed this lecture hall today, which is naturally the credit of the two teachers, Xiao Yang and Wang Li. Today is the first time this small crew has gathered, mainly because everyone gets acquainted with each other, and it will be officially filmed in the afternoon.

"Boy, who is your 'first love', you haven't said it for so many days, are you reluctant?" Huang Xu also hooked Bi Xia's neck with his arm and said viciously.

"I said you don't know each other, and besides, you'll see you later." Bi Xia replied with a wry smile. The day after Bi Xia met Liu Yufei, he received a call from her and promised to play the role of the school flower, which made Bi Xia let go of her heart.

After Liu Yufei promised Bi Xia, he told the two that they didn't need to look for actors, and the roles of school flower and Hao Lei were already in place. Therefore, he will be interrogated by Huang Xuyi every day, but Liu Yufei will only come over today, and he has no choice.

"Hehe, hello everyone, I'm Hao Lei!" An aunt seemed to laugh, and with a hearty and neat voice, Hao Lei's chubby figure appeared at the door.

"It's really Hao Lei!" Huang Xu also exaggerated and circled around Hao Lei twice. He admired Bi Xia a little, this girl was too close to the character in the script, and he didn't know where he found it. Although he had also heard Bi Xia's introduction, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw it with his own eyes.

"It's like a fake!" Hao Lei stretched out her chubby arm and patted her chest.

There are more than a dozen people in the classroom, in addition to the two protagonists, Huang Xu also volunteered to be the cameraman, he has some talent in this area, Zhu Jianye had a shooting experience, he served as an assistant director to assist Bi Xia in controlling the crew. The others are all alumni who participated in the performance this time, and one of them, a lighting engineer, is a senior who has graduated, and this time he came to help.

Hao Lei turned her head and glanced around, then focused her eyes on Wang Li, she walked to Wang Li's side, her chubby body and Wang Li's emaciated body were in stark contrast. "Dead ghost, how old are you, and you still participate in the 'Happy Boys', are you still dancing?" Hao Lei put one hand on her waist and pointed at Wang Li with the other, looking like a middle-aged woman scolding her man.

Xiao Yang and Wang Li glanced at each other, and saw that each other's eyes were full of surprise, this girl was a perfect match to play Hao Lei.

"Hehe......" Hao Lei didn't wait for the other party to speak, she smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Two teachers, I'm sorry, I ...... just now" Bi Xia had roughly introduced the situation of the crew to Hao Lei on the phone, compared to Bi Xia's relationship between teachers and students or alumni, she is undoubtedly an outsider, so she came up with such a trick and successfully made everyone accept her.

"Two brothers, I solemnly introduce to you, Hao Lei, the actor of 'Hao Lei' in the film." Bi Xia stepped forward and pointed at Hao Lei and introduced.

"Her name is really Hao Lei?!"

"It's clever enough!"

The two were amazed, such a thing is really rare, not only the name, but also the body shape, as if it was the prototype of the character in the play.

"Ha Luha, I was also shocked when I first heard Bi Xia talk about it." Zhu Jianye also said with a smile, after all, they were together every day and discussed the details of the film again and again, so he was surprised when he heard Bi Xia's introduction.

"Hello, is this the crew of "Oldboys"?" It was a crisp and cold voice.

All the people gathered together subconsciously turned their heads to look at the door, and saw a girl standing at the door, wearing a white dress, a pair of pure and bright, unadulterated eyes, a pretty little nose, tender like snow skin, pure like a dream.

"You're finally here, I'm waiting for you!" Bi Xia saw Liu Yufei coming, and the slightest worry dissipated without a trace, and walked towards her with a smile.

"I promised you, great director." Liu Yufei has a cold personality and is innate noble, but she is by no means the kind of girl who wears a princess dress all day long.

She is also an ordinary girl, noisy and noisy, and likes canvas shoes and torn jeans, but it is precisely because of this that Bi Xia feels more real.

Liu Yufei's appearance caused everyone's frequent sideways, and it was really beautiful. It is said that everyone is from a film school, compared to other universities, it can be described as a concentration camp for beautiful women, and everyone is immune to beautiful women.

It's just that Liu Yufei is different, she is not necessarily prettier than these female classmates in the film school, but her indifference, coldness, and extravagance make her temperament particularly prominent and attractive.

"You're not usually very noisy, why is this so quiet!" Zhu Jianye pushed Huang Xuyi, who was standing silently next to him.

"Hey, I finally know the meaning of the 'first love' in Bi Xia's mouth!" Huang Xu is also rare to be deep. This sentence also caused everyone to nod their heads, Liu Yufei didn't use powder, she stood there unconsciously attracting everyone's attention. It's so vivid, so beautiful, everyone can't help but feel 'our first love should be like this'.

……

The biggest difference between the work of the new generation of directors and the older generation of directors is the difference between "talking about drama" and "playing opera". Before filming, the old-school director gathers all the relevant actors in front of him, tells them the entire script separately, tells the actors his understanding of the scene, the requirements and the purpose that needs to be achieved, and inspires the actors to play and grasp when performing.

In this process, the actors are not involved in the creation of the plot, and they do not need to consider whether there are certain problems with the script, the only thing they need is to implement the director's intention accurately and vividly.

But in the new century, this has fundamentally changed, and the new generation of directors will gather actors and relevant creative personnel to play together before filming, which has a relatively professional term called "saving drama" in the director's textbook.

The so-called "saving drama" is actually a large group of people sitting together to preview a scene of more than an hour of the whole movie, after all, the plot is played by actors, and many times, the emotional logic and dialogue grasp of each character in the script will affect the performance of others, so the rehearsal before shooting is very important.

Of course, "accumulating drama" does not mean abandoning drama, "accumulating drama" just sets the tone of the entire movie, and its fundamental purpose is to allow actors to participate in the creation, rather than acting blindly.

Every director has his own understanding of a script and what he wants to express, so it is essential to talk about the drama during filming. And the actors, especially some powerful actors, often have their own unique understanding of some roles, and they may have a flash of inspiration in some clips, giving the character a new image, which may also be the most brilliant part of the whole film.

"Saving scenes" only increases the communication between the actors and relevant personnel and the director, so that everyone can participate in the creation of the script, and makes the film more logical and meticulous, which is a progress in the history of film.

After everyone sat down, the three of them began to distribute the manuscripts that had been prepared. This is also the official script used by the crew in the future. After seeing that everyone opened the script, Bi Xia took out the director's shelf and coughed dryly: "Let's start, rehearse it first." At this moment, although Bi Xia still had a gentle smile on his face, his expression was more solemn and confident.

Zhu Jianye immediately understood, and began to read the narration to the script:

"In scene one, Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai participated in the semi-final of 'Happy Boys'."

There was a sudden silence. Xiao Yang and them should have followed their lines, but they didn't say anything. After a while, Xiao Yang glanced up at Bi Xia and said with emotion: "I'm sorry, Bi Xia." But you really surprised us. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the script manuscript in their hands, because other people didn't have many scenes, they had received the script before, and they knew the dialogue by heart, and now seeing Xiao Yang say this, they were curious about what the mystery was in the script......

This script is a script that is somewhere between a storyboard script and a stage play script.

The so-called storyboard script is commonly known as the director's script, and each storyboard script will have requirements, lighting, shooting, character psychological analysis, expected effects, etc. It can be said that with a perfect storyboard script in hand, even a rookie can shoot the movie, and it won't even be too bad.

The script of the stage play is marked with the time on each dialogue, how many seconds it takes to finish a sentence, and how many seconds it takes to answer the phone, all of which are accurately marked, this is because the live performance of the stage play is a fixed time, and each person's lines in the live performance are prescribed, otherwise if an actor stretches his lines or has too many improvised performances in order to show himself, he has to compress other people's scenes, which will directly lead to chaos in the plot, so there are such strict regulations.

Few people in film and television dramas will make the script so precise, not to mention the stage script, even if it is a storyboard script, it is generally only the character analysis, the director's expectations and requirements. The reason is that in order to make such a precise script, first of all, the director himself must have super high performance logic, and it takes a lot of energy to try and try repeatedly to finalize the script.

Bi Xia is different, he has a complete film in his mind, and even if there are some changes, he also simulates it through his own brain that is far more developed than ordinary people. And the film is very expensive, so it is good to save it.

Filmmaking has been improving, and in the seventies and eighties, the film and television industries in Hong Kong and Baodao began to flourish before the mainland, and at that time there was not even a script for filmmaking. A lot of the time, it's the director who has an idea, and then finds someone to write a rough script and shoots it on stage. Bi Xia got the memory of a director who was such a director, he made movies without a script, he would ask the actor to keep acting until he felt that it was the feeling he needed, many times he himself didn't know what he needed, and the actor could only blindly imagine. Therefore, his films always have a strong personal style, extremely stylized visual images, and postmodern expressions.

It is also precisely because of this that the directors and actors of that era were very strong, and there were too many places where they needed to play independently, and the movies of that era were also full of imagination.

Bi Xia's script does not completely limit the time of the actors' lines according to the stage play, his script is very detailed in the restoration of the scene, and the character dialogue and psychological analysis are extremely accurate, but there are not too many hard rules for the actors' performances, because he does not want to restrict the actors' nature.

Sometimes improvisation can have unexpected effects, and a film is not just a good director or a good actor. It's like a precision instrument that requires every part to work together to be perfect.

Liu Yufei took on the rough movie for the first time, she sat quietly and listened to everyone's emotion and amazement at Bi Xia's script, and her heart rippled slightly, and the excitement of the film world was emerging.
