Chapter 553: Entering the group and starting up
On May 25th, the weather was sunny and everything was suitable for everything, and this day was the opening ceremony of "Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Ancient City of the Desert".
If it is in Hong Kong and Taiwan, it is generally necessary to prepare three animals to start the machine, and worship Guan Gong. Although there are also start-up ceremonies in the mainland, they are not so heavy.
However, for the industry, the start of a drama is also a very important thing, so it cannot be omitted. It's just that the opening ceremony of this drama this time was very low-key, and no entertainment media was invited to participate in the scene.
The only film and television entertainment media, which was introduced by Zhao Xi, is the "Film and Television Report" column group of Yangba. As the first large-investment online drama in China, this drama has attracted much attention since its establishment, not only the audience and fans, but also some professionals in the circle.
And Yangba's "Film and Television Report", as the official media of the domestic film and television industry, naturally wants to pay attention to and report on this drama. It's just that they refused to interview Han Li in many media before, so the host of Yangba's "Film and Television Report" heard that Han Li and Zhao Xi were more familiar, so he asked Zhao Xi to come forward to help intercede, and Han Li agreed.
The reason why they chose to start shooting in a low-key manner is mainly because Han Li and they hope that the entire crew will not be disturbed by too much entertainment media and can concentrate on filming.
This drama has been hyped up before and has attracted a lot of attention, and if it continues to be hyped up, it may be overhyped and counterproductive.
It's better to keep a low profile and give the outside world a mysterious impression, which will attract the audience's interest more.
In a round of applause, Han Li, the director, producer, starring and other main creative staff of the crew uncovered the red cloth covered by the photographer, which also indicates that the filming of this drama has officially started.
Today's first scene was filmed in the new campus of HKUST, and the main content is the scene of the male protagonist Xu Ran's life in the school, which belongs to the first part of the whole play.
Because of experiencing life in the school during this time, Dong Xuan's body was inevitably tainted with some student habits, and this was naturally what Han Li wanted. So so that his student spirit can be presented in front of the camera as much as possible, so the crew decided to shoot this scene first.
In fact, filming in reality is not filmed in the order of the story of the script, and in general, all the scenes that occur in this scene are filmed after filming the same scene.
Let's take the scene of the actor Xu Ran at school filmed by Dong Hao, in fact, there are two scenes or scenes of Xu Ran appearing at school in the whole play.
The first paragraph is the beginning, which mainly tells the story of the male protagonist Xu Ran as an ordinary college student. The main purpose of this paragraph is to explain the background of Xu Ran, an ordinary senior student, to readers and audiences, so that it is easier to enhance the audience's sense of substitution and allow them to quickly enter the role.
And the second paragraph is the end of the whole story, or the whole play. The male protagonist Xu Ran attended the graduation ceremony at school, and the female protagonist Shangguan Xinyue and the second male Mi Hao, the second female Liao Qingqing and others drove a sports car to the school to find him.
The reason why they were filmed together was mainly because the two scenes were in the same venue. This reduces the need for tossing and thus saves costs.
However, this kind of shooting requires high acting skills for the actors, so that they have to perform the two styles and changes presented by the protagonist in the two stages before and after in a very short time. So for these young actors, these two scenes, especially the scene at the end, are more difficult.
The reason why he finally chose HKUST was mainly because Han Li was called back for tea by their dean. Saying that you are going back for tea is actually an excuse.
When Han Li really sat in the dean's office, he listened to several college leaders tell you about the difficult development history of the school, and by the way, he was very enthusiastic about Han Li's study and life.
In the end, under the calculations of these old guys, Han Li had to raise his hand and surrender, and chose the filming location on the new campus of the University of Science and Technology, and also placed it in their art college.
Of course, both the school and the college have expressed their full support for the filming of the crew. It's just that the super high attention of the drama itself, as well as Han Li's influence in the University of Science and Technology, have caused the crew to encounter a lot of trouble.
To put it simply, it was surrounded by students, and there were quite a few of them. In the end, I had to secretly use the weekend vacation time, with the help of the school security office and student cadres, so that the normal shooting work could be carried out.
Of course, the school is so supportive, and on the one hand, it naturally wants to use this drama to promote the school. On the other hand, at the strong invitation of the school and college, Han Li and a group of main creators jointly shot promotional videos and posters for the school and college.
It seems that this promotional video and poster should appear in the enrollment publicity at the end of the college entrance examination.
I have to say that Dong Xuan is a good actor with great potential in the end. Coupled with his previous experience in school, he entered the role very quickly, and he completed the school scene in the first half of the story very smoothly.
But in the second half of the graduation ceremony, Dong Xuan couldn't find that feeling. To put it simply, there is no difference between him and the role performance of the previous part of the scene, and there is no change.
Although he is attending the graduation ceremony, compared with other graduates with a touch of sorrow, the protagonist Xu Ran should still be a little confident.
This self-confidence is not only a recognition of his own ability, but also because he already has a team that deliberately relies on common struggle, and also has a goal to strive for. Therefore, unlike other confused graduates, he should have that self-confidence and outwardness for the future life. But in this environment, it can't be too obvious, so it's a test of acting skills.
"Card, it's still not enough! Dong Xuan, you are carefully experiencing the subtle mental activities of the characters in the play. ”
He acted a little too deliberately before, and he couldn't experience that feeling at all. So Tong Yongjun decisively stopped, and then got up from behind the monitor and said to the leading actor Tong Yongjun in front of the camera.
And Han Li, who was sitting in front of the camera and watching the situation closely, saw this scene, and had to get up and say to Tong Yongjun: "That's it, it's almost time for lunch break." Let's rest first, start eating, and then after eating, we'll continue shooting. ”
Seeing Tong Yongjun nodded, he then turned his head to Dong Xuan and said, "As for you, don't be stressed, eat first, and rest for a while after eating." By the way, you can talk to some seniors who are participating in the shooting today and listen to their feelings.
After all, it won't be long before they will leave school, so their current mood, especially those who have found jobs and have settled down, is similar to the protagonist in the play, you can learn from it. ”
