Chapter 42: Four in the Morning in the Imperial Capital

Yan Qing spent a relatively dull thirty-first birthday in the office of his studio Miao Miao, and he had never had the kind of birthday celebration complex in his previous life, and he had to hurry up to set the shooting plan for those three movie excerpts.

With the crazy pulling film some time ago and the make-up lesson on the experience of "Towards a Rustic Drama", as well as the directing experience of the previous appearance video, coupled with the support provided by Liu Mingren, Yi Li, and Miao Miao, with many helps, Yan Qing used the time on Thursday's birthday to finalize the specific filming plan of the temporary crew for two days.

On Friday, at four o'clock in the morning, when the sky in the imperial capital was still dark, the entire "Talent Co., Ltd." program team had already assembled in place in the small courtyard in front of the "office building" on time.

Yan Qing had already confirmed through video last night that except for the artificial snow scene, which will be completed today after he has taken all the exterior shots before the snowstorm, and then the professional location team will enter the site for construction, the rest of the scenes have been built.

In fact, the situation in the small courtyard at this time is a little funny, Liu Mingren is coordinating four videographers with cameras to shoot several cameramen in the outer circle.

The picture that appeared on the monitor in Liu Mingren's hand was: Yan Qing, who was holding the director's microphone and the storyboard script book, and wearing makeup on his face, convened a temporary crew member including three cameramen to start a pre-play preparation meeting with the assistance of the temporary coordinator Miao Miao.

After the official start of filming, this matryoshka burlesque will become more and more serious, but thanks to the good professionalism of the temporary crew members and the rest of the program crew, everyone quickly devoted themselves to the intense work.

The filming schedule is very fast, and the time and place set in the script is the spring season in southern Henan Province, and the sky at six o'clock at the end of winter in the Central Plains is gray and bright.

Yan Qing had to seize the fleeting gray time of the day to shoot the shot of the male protagonist getting up and opening the curtains and looking out of the window.

With a sound of "dismissal, transition" in the director's microphone speaker, the temporary crew began to gather in the Yanqing lounge on the second floor of the small building, and the lighting engineers, props masters, and sound recorders dispatched by Pearl Satellite TV had already prepared the scene in the bedroom.

After following a few crews, Miao Miao, who is considered to be experienced, began to carefully check the preparation situation after entering the bedroom, and then reported to Yan Qing, who had changed into pajamas, and Mo Ran, the temporary assistant director of the crew who was holding a monitor next to Yan Qing.

After Yan Qing confirmed that everything was ready, he didn't say much and directly handed the director's microphone and the storyboard script manual to Mo Ran, and directly put on the blindfold and climbed onto the bed to cover the quilt and lie down.

Mo Ran waited until Yan Qing was in place, then picked up the director's microphone and announced:

"Camera No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 are in place, the gaffer is in place, the props are in place, the recording microphone is in place, the actors are in place, the scene notes are in place, the final inspection of each department is completed, the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 cameras are turned on, the recording microphone is turned on, and the first action of the first shot of the second scene of "Today's Pause"!"

The board in the hand of the field reporter was then deducted, and there was a crisp sound of hitting the board.

Camera No. 1 on the electronic clock radio on the bedside table in the bedroom, Camera No. 2 in the courtyard of the "office building", and Camera No. 3 hanging from the overrail of the standard double bed in a white hotel began framing at the same time:

As the electronic clock radio on the bedside table jumps from 5:59 to 6:00, the radio begins to play the song "Talent Limited" and the radio opening words that accompany it:

"Fuxiang People's Radio, hello listeners and friends, today is Monday, February 4, 2008 on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar calendar, today is still a special good day, the beginning of spring.

As we all know, our Fuxiang is one of the ancient cities that recorded the earliest ceremony of the beginning of spring in our country, and today the annual Lichun Folk Culture Festival will be officially opened at seven o'clock in the morning in the agricultural hall of Zhuxian Town, Fuxiang District..."

Weng Huaijing, who had some retro-style professional light makeup painted on his face, stood upright outside the bedroom door of Yan Qing's rest suite, and Zhou Peipei, who was wearing a lake blue improved cheongsam with a curious baby look, paid attention to Yan Qing's opening one-man show, she watched Yan Qing skillfully show her extremely real acting skills, and easily interpreted such a picture:

A middle-aged man, who had obviously some bed-recognizing habits, was woken up by the sound of the radio coming from the electronic clock radio at the bedside after a night of suffering from the torture of running in a bed in a strange hotel.

The man ripped off the blindfold, reached out and rubbed his eyes with some feces and secretions hanging from the corners of his eyes, then picked up a pillow next to him and folded it on his own, and got up with some difficulty and half-leaned on the bed screen.

The man first looked around, as if remembering where he was at the moment, and then turned his head to look at the electronic clock screen time on the bedside table, and then lifted the quilt and yawned unhurriedly to the window.

He opened the two thick curtains in front of the window and looked out of the window, and after looking at it for a while, he turned back with a blank expression, rubbed his face with both hands very hard, and paced into the bathroom.

There was a "click" from the director's microphone on Mo Ran's side, and Yan Qing quickly walked back to the room, put on an eye mask and climbed onto the bed to cover the quilt and lie down again.

"In the more than five years since he was away from the big screen, his acting skills have become more and more solid, and he has a feeling of returning to the basics."

Weng Huaijing thought of some of the past events, and his heart softened unconsciously, but his expression was still cold.

In a similar scene, Yan Qing took six shots in a row, and Weng Huaijing kept paying attention to Yan Qing's performance with his hands on his chest.

Among these shots are the following: [When the man opens his eyes, he immediately reaches for the electronic clock radio on the bedside table and the pencil next to him, and then reveals a look of disbelief and shock.] ]

There is also a scene: [The man wakes up and immediately turns his head to look at the electronic clock radio that is broadcasting, condensing a trace of bitterness and despair.] ]

There are also: [The scene where the man woke up and pricked up his ears and immediately clenched his fist after hearing the broadcast, with an excited face and couldn't wait to lift the quilt and jump up from the bed and cheer.] ]

There is also a scene of a man waking up in a drowsy and unwilling to move with a numb look on his face. ]

There is also a mirror: [The man woke up, immediately looked at the pillow next to him, silently reached out and touched the pillow that was unused, and then jumped up from the bed, quickly looked out the window, and went to wash up and clean up the scene. ]

Weng Huaijing, who is familiar with the script, knows that these shots will be edited into a paragraph in the later stage, and is responsible for explaining to the audience clearly, and the video of Suo Leixing, the location host of urban news played by Yan Qing, finds himself trapped in a time loop.

After all the five shots were completed, Yan Qing took over the monitor from the temporary assistant director Mo Ran, and played back the shots taken by each camera.

"After all the shots of the second scene of "Today's Pause" were filmed, except for those assigned to other special tasks, the crew members collectively transferred to the No. 9 location."

The so-called No. 9 pick-up point is outside the small courtyard, in front of a small hotel in the jacquard lattice alley.

The props team temporarily arranged a luminous signboard in front of the small hotel, which read "Zhuxian Town State-run Guest House", and a news interview car with the logo of "Zhengcheng TV Commercial City Channel" was parked on the side of the road at the entrance.

At this time, it was nearly seven o'clock in the imperial capital, and the sky was already bright on Friday, the first day of the eighth lunar month, and the imperial capital in mid-autumn.

Weng Huaijing, who was wearing a somewhat old-fashioned design style but still fitting a decent professional suit and skirt, had already sat in the back row of the news interview car with Yan Qing, who had changed into a suit and tie and removed his tired makeup.

Zhou Peipei, who could only watch alone, had some admiration and envy in her eyes at this time, unlike Weng Huaijing, who focused on "Actors' Performances", Zhou Peipei has always paid attention to Miao Miao, who served as the coordinator of the temporary crew, and watched her arrange and assign the work of other crew members with ease.

"Sister Miao Miao knows everything, it's so amazing, I've followed Teacher Yan Qing to a lot of crews at first glance, and I'm so nervous when I act..."

This is the first time that Zhou Peipei has joined the crew with Weng Huaijing, this crew is not the kind of film crew that is serious, watching Miao Miao take on the overall coordination work with ease, and remembering that Shao Qing had cruelly revealed to her the news that Miao Miao's actual age is younger than her.

Zhou Peipei, who has lofty goals, can't help but realize that she still has a lot to learn, and secretly encourages herself:

"Sister Miao Miao also grew up with Teacher Yan Qing a little bit... With the guidance of a top agent like Sister Qing, and an Oscar-level actor like Sister Jing'er to bring into the group, Pepe must also work hard to become stronger."

Thinking of Shao Qing, Zhou Peipei suddenly discovered that Shao Qing had not been seen since the pre-play preparation meeting in the small courtyard.

"It's worthy of Sister Qing, I've seen a lot of big scenes, it's just that the dragon can't see the end of the head, my little assistant doesn't care about Sister Qing's affairs, she must have her reason for disappearing."

Zhou Peipei, a brain supplement expert, has other experiences to think about, for example, she found that today's shot sequence is strictly in accordance with the sub-shot script in Miao Miao's hand at this time.

is not as she subjectively imagined, shooting shot by shot according to the plot progression, nor is it completely shot scene by scene according to the professional teachers in Zhou Peipei's school.

At least she knew that the hotel scene set up in the bedroom of Yan Qing's rest suite, there were still many scenes of her sister Jing'er and teacher Yan Qing's rivalry that were not filmed.

Thinking of the scripts she had read, Zhou Peipei couldn't help but be excited and looking forward to it.

She secretly added: "The two of them have been together, and when they appear as a couple in this play, what kind of sparks will collide..."
