Chapter 256: Filming Begins
After chatting with Guan Jinpeng, he did not go back to the banquet and returned to his dormitory.
After resting for a while, Li Hao came back drunk.
The two didn't say much, and the next day was an important start-up ceremony, and the first scene must not go wrong, otherwise it would discourage the enthusiasm of the entire crew.
The next day, it was cloudless.
In the morning, in this dilapidated place that shows a rare bΔijΔ«ng, dozens of people are standing together, and in the most central position of the set, there is a table, incense burner, tribute and even braised pig's head.
The table was a bit unusually large, though.
Unlike the mainland, Guan Jinpeng specially invited a "Master Yong" who was so thin that only bones remained. And there were more than a dozen Taoist children around him, all of whom had plates in their hands.
"Hong Kong is really superstitious about feng shui." Li Hao whispered.
"They value these very much, and besides, this is also a national art." Before Lin Xiao could finish speaking, he heard a loud shout from a thin man, "The time has come!" β
He took out a wooden sword and pointed to the sky, "Four joys, four tributes, and seven offerings!" β
The tail note dragged on for a long time, and Lin Xiao doubted how such a thin person could have such a full breath.
The Taoist boy behind the Taoist priest is holding tea, wine, noodles and rice for the four joys, the tea fragrant flower candle is the four tributes, and the fragrant flower candle is the seven offerings. They were placed on the table in turn.
"Six flavors of Lent!" The Taoist priest flicked his sword, pulled a sword flower, and shouted loudly.
Suddenly, a white and tender female Taoist boy walked out from behind, carrying a large vegetable basket covered with a red cloth.
Then, her delicate little hand lifted the red cloth, took out vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, golden needles, fungus, vegetable swallows, and winter powder, and placed them on the Lent plate in turn, and then took out rice, hemp, candy, round biscuits, string biscuits, and wind slice cakes, and put them in the position of the six flavors.
Full set of godliness! Lin Xiao silently looked at Guan Jinpeng, who was speechless, and the other party's face was full of piety.
"It seems that Guan Dao is not as easy as it seems, otherwise who would turn on the computer with a full set of godliness?" He thought to himself, "In the end, a film is already doomed to lose money, and he has only one way to go." The most stressful ...... of the whole crew Actually, it's him. β
The voice of the Taoist priest was higher and higher.
"Go up to the mountains and delicate the sea, grains and grains." "Shangqin and onion dumplings three students salute the holy ......" and "hundreds of stars to report the good news" ......"
A set of programs came down, and by the time it was over, the table was already full.
Finally, I heard a Taoist priest shouting, "Incense!" β
Guan Jinpeng walked out solemnly, and actually put his hands in Tai Chi mode in front of his chest, and took a stick of incense.
"Invisible Heart Incense ......" everyone who understands it has been fluted, this is the most pious way to incense.
The table full of tributes, the reverent director, the machine covered with red cloth, this tedious ritual made everyone feel the invisible pressure.
Guan Jinpeng bowed three times and solemnly inserted the incense into the incense burner.
Just when everyone thought he was going to come down, he suddenly shouted, "There is no way to retreat, only to break the cauldron and sink the boat!" β
When he shouted out these words, there was even a hint of indomitable spirit.
Lin Xiao has experienced I don't know how many boot ceremonies, some are in the form of Kangxi, and some are laughing and laughing...... But this is the first time that it has been so solemn.
The Taoist priest had no joy or sorrow on his face, looked at Guan Jinpeng and shouted again, "Shang Erdao incense." β
"Three incense sticks." "Upper head incense."
As if infected by Guan Jinpeng, everyone did not follow xìng, but really condensed their blessings to the crew to that incense.
The audience was silent, except for the voice of the Taoist priest.
After more than ten minutes, the incense was finished. Guan Jinpeng walked to the machine, took the red cloth and shook it, and shouted, "I wish Lan Yu a bumper harvest of awards this year!" β
"I wish Lan Yu a good start!" "I wish Lan Yu the Venice Gold Award!"
With his shout, more cheers flew into the air.
After a few minutes, Guan Jinpeng finally showed a smile on his face, "Comrades, we really have no way to retreat this time." Not only this time, but every time my film is the same. blocked the way to the box office, and the only way to run for awards was to run. β
"If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!"
"Now, the teams inspect the machine!" Speaking of filming, his face immediately became serious, and his usual grinning face was like an iron plate, "Within ten minutes, I want to hear the status report of all the groups!" Starring, go to the dressing room. Guan Xiaohui, review the script and prepare to talk about the play. β
"Roger! Top dog! ββYES,SIRοΌβ
As one order after another was issued, the entire crew was busy.
Dysprosium lamp, tungsten lamp, astigmatism, eight rows, four rows of length...... All kinds of lighting equipment began to be tested one by one, small blowers were also pushed out, and from time to time, the sound of reports echoed on the set.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Xiao and Li Hao came to the field, and Zhang Jian began to talk about the play.
He spoke in great detail, starting from the positioning, and even the movements were somewhat imaginary.
Li Hao listened in great detail, he understood that his acting skills were not as good as the other party, and he asked questions several times in many places.
After the play, he went to the scene and booked the position, Guan Jinpeng nodded, and the scene staff hurriedly took out the clapperboard.
"Lan Yu, Scene 12, Ready!"
Lin Xiao and Li Hao glanced at each other and walked to the scene.
Inside, there are no brothers, only opponents!
"It's in good shape." Guan Jinpeng secretly praised, and waved his hand "ACTION!" β
Each one of them threw themselves into their hornsè.
From the very beginning, Guan Jinpeng stared at the machine in front of him completely, and his eyes did not blink.
Zhang Jian's gaze followed every movement of them, and the people pushing the cart behind them didn't dare to breathe.
In the first game, there was no difficulty, but the two met, and Guan Jinpeng specially arranged it, not wanting to let the morale be discounted.
The second scene was also very simple, and it wasn't until the third scene began that Guan Jinpeng shouted CUT for the first time.
"Lin Xiao, Li Hao, come here." He beckoned with a calm face.
"Li Hao, you have been thinking about the script for the longest time, as far as I know, you were relatively idle some time ago, right?" He glanced at each other coldly, just like the two of them when they drank yesterday.
"Do you know your own problems?"
"Director Guan, I know." Li Hao gritted his teeth and said, "I have thought about the scene of playing against Brother Xiao many times below, but I always can't control it as soon as I get on the field." β
"The crew doesn't have much time for any actor to adapt, including the main actor!" Guan Jinpeng raised his voice a little, "What you have to think about now is feelings." How to be more emotionally invested in performance. β
"You still have a 'TV smell' on your body, movies and TV, and the biggest difference in performance is jΔ«ng. TV can pass, movies can be stuck ten times! You don't act in a movie by the standards of television. β
"Lin Xiao, in this way, don't be too involved at first, let's warm up this scene a few times. Don't start with your acting skills in full swing and give him a chance to adapt. Guan Jinpeng said, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Li Hao, don't be discouraged, the first time you make a movie, it's like this, you have to think about how to adapt, not escape." β
"Take a break and continue."
Lin Xiao patted Li Hao's shoulder, and the two walked towards the rest area together.
"This kid, he didn't do his homework, isn't this looking for a kick?" Star fruit twisted her eyebrows and said, "At least find someone to get used to it first, if you can get by." β
"Lao Yang, you have a ...... temper" Guan Jinpeng said with a smile, "If I want you to be a director, I'm afraid I won't finish the film." β
"Artists are not machines, they need to be regulated. Do you think I don't look hot? But what can you solve by scolding? vented himself, and others were angry, but the more they shot, the more confused they became. He looked at the two people discussing in the lounge area and said, "Actually...... That's what worries me the most, it's not strange that a TV actor is acting in a movie for the first time and starts to get stuck crazy. He's already pretty good. β
"But...... I just need him to perform. He suddenly turned around, "You say, how about letting them both see each other as women?" β
Carambola was speechless, "Director Guan, this idea is a little weird......"
Guan Jinpeng smiled, "Wait, when he really starts to invest in his feelings, there will be more headaches." β
β¦β¦
From the third scene, the simple past, the difficulty increased sharply, and Li Hao began to be unbearable.
Morning, afternoon, all soaked in this field. Until after three o'clock, Guan Jinpeng couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Li Hao to rest and shoot the scene of Lin Xiao and Su Jin in the same scene.
"Brother Xiao, this is much worse than I imagined." During the break, Lin Xiao kept helping him adjust his mentality, Li Hao was not in a good state, and said with a wry smile, "I thought I had done my best, but I was still stuck, and I had two games in one day today." There were almost no lines in those two scenes......"
"Don't be discouraged, I was stuck a lot more times than you when I was playing Shaolin football." Lin Xiao casually made up a white lie, "It's like this for the first time, and it's a lot of seconds." β
ββ¦β¦ Why do I suddenly feel better? β
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xiao filmed a scene with Su Jin, and he was also stuck.
Guan Jinpeng's affection for Lan Yu is far deeper than Lin Xiao's imagination, even if he doesn't know how to act, but he has cooperated with all kinds of big names, and his understanding of this circle surpasses all of them.
Because of one expression, the two can fight.
Lin Xiao believed in his acting skills very much, but Guan Jinpeng showed up and told him that he shouldn't do it.
In the end, he compromised, his understanding of the other world is indeed not as deep as Guan Jinpeng, and the other party continues to use psychological analysis, which is well-founded.
In this scene, he was stuck three times, and Su Jin was stuck four times.
A scene was filmed for two hours.
At six o'clock, Guan Jinpeng finally stood up and glanced at the crew who were demoralized because they were too stuck on the first day.
"It's hard at the beginning." He didn't criticize anyone, including Li Hao, who got the most stuck, "This drama really can't be interpreted in ordinary ways, what you don't have in the past is the hurdle in your heart." β
"Here, I want to criticize Lin Xiao." He glanced at the other party majestically and said, "With your acting skills, it is not difficult to analyze Chen Xidong's psychology, but you have not completely substituted yourself into this role." I know that this is difficult, but this kind of emotional ethics film, if the actor can't get into the wood, then the play is over! β
"Don't expect Berlin, Venice! I don't see any hope for any awards! β
"It's only the first day, and it's different from the performance on the spot, so I hope you can adjust your form as soon as possible."
He looked at his watch, "Disband, night play in the evening, prepare yourself, it's not too early to get dark at the end of autumn, then gather at half past ten." β
