Whispering film and television base

Bamboo Forest Studio

…

On the bank of the green mountain stream, under the bright moon and evening breeze, several stilted buildings that seem to have been exposed to the wind and sun are lined up one after another, and the height is scattered between the gentle slopes, most of them are half-hidden and half-hidden in the dense bamboo forest, and a touch of black ash at the top of the house is faintly revealed in the lush green.

This is the No. 3 Outer Cloth Attraction led by Su Xiuzhen, the art director of the "Laughing East" crew, and the main part is composed of a cedar drum tower and a number of stilted buildings with a mixed structure of bamboo and wood poles and railings.

The art team led by Su Xiuzhen spent a lot of effort and energy with the support of Yan Qing, striving to truly restore the Miao Village style in the late Ming Dynasty.

The first night scene of "Laughter-East" on Thursday night was filmed in the outermost three-story stilted building, commonly known as the "wild shop".

The overall style of Yedian also reveals strong Miao characteristics, the hall is surrounded by curved corridors, suspended aisles, cedar window lattices, curved railing chairs, and even Nanzhu handrails are all available, and the tung oil painted walls are densely hung with strings of fiery red peppers as decoration.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the imperial capital had already fallen into the night, and with the flickering candles scattered around the actors sitting on the ground, the scene directed by Yan Qing himself was in the predicament of frequent stops, and every time it was not even the turn of Zhou Peipei, who was fully prepared, to appear on the stage, which made his face a little ugly, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn so quietly.

There is a small rocker camera on the east and west sides of the hall, and the two assistant photographers of Whispering Pictures Chen Huaize and He Qidao of Shanghai Film Studio are in charge of the camera.

The two directors Tan Sen and Mo Ran's royal photographers did not control the rocker camera position, so they naturally had a more important task, and they had to flexibly use the hand-held camera to do close-up framing with the cooperation of the lighting recording team, but every time it was the turn of these two people to finish shooting, Yan Qing's side began to stop.

In the center of the hall is a reed straw mat, wearing silver ornaments and a beautiful dress decorated with seedlings embroidered with flowers, Fei Jingyu, who is dressed up, sits cross-legged on the straw mat, and a scorched tail xylophone full of ancient charm is placed between her knees, and the orange and clear candlelight reflects her white and red face very beautifully.

In the case of frequent NG, Fei Jingyu's expression is always calm and calm, and he can complete his performance of playing the piano and singing in a stable state every time he restarts filming, so that Yan Qing, who is sitting on the director's chair and pretending to be serious, can't help but praise professionalism in his heart.

According to the playing habits of the instruments in their hands, they either kneel, or cross-legged, or squatting in front of the camera in a circle, also wearing silver decorations, holding various national instruments, and the eleven special actors from the Imperial Capital Youth National Orchestra performed far worse than Fei Jingyu.

After more than 20 blows, the little girls' expressions gradually changed from excitement and joy at the beginning to low and resentful.

"Director Yan..."Luo Bing, who was with the group, seemed to be unbearable, she took the initiative to negotiate with Yan Qing, whose face was getting darker and darker: "Let's stop the machine first and let them rest for a while!" ”

After a lot of verbal war, Yan Qing was finally completely enraged by Luo Bing, and let go of the director's microphone, he walked to the rocker camera with disgruntle as if he was improvised, and personally turned off the two rocker cameras that had been kept on.

"If you want to rest, let's rest, it's a big deal that all the time tonight is spent on this scene." Speaking in a weird manner, Yan Qing looked angry.

"Director Yan, you can't bring your emotions to work..."

With a tense face, Luo Bing pressed step by step: "No one wants to NG all the time, you have to tell the actor what went wrong, so that people can make corresponding adjustments!" ”

The crew, who had never seen Yan Qing and Luo Bing in this state, suddenly shuddered, and the special actors were even more dumbfounded, obviously the director had been gentle and drizzly before the start of filming, which was completely in line with the gentle and elegant image of the humble gentleman they usually saw in the show.

Zhang Yameng, who didn't have a shooting notice until the evening, stood up to ease the atmosphere, and under her soft-spoken and kind words, Yan Qingqing took a step back and agreed to let the actors rehearse a few more times in the shutdown state before re-shooting.

Yan Qing, who stayed under the rocker position, watched the recording lights with cold eyes, and Mo Ran, Tan Sen and others continued to move over and over again with the actors in the shutdown state, and after Zhou Peipei and Fei Jingyu entered and exited the painting twice, the eleven girls of the Imperial Capital Youth National Orchestra were only numb and dull on their faces.

"It's finally almost, I guess these little girls have scolded me countless times in their hearts, if there is no way, who wants to play the bad guy with a straight face, after all, this is the most efficient group acting training method I can think of."

Yan Qing secretly issued a code, and without the knowledge of these special actors, all the equipment was quietly turned on.

"It's good, let's just come back for the third time..."Zhang Yameng continued to guide the joint practice.

Following the traction of Fei Jingyu's piano sound, a group of special actors began to play musical instruments mechanically with the support of their professional musical literacy.

The effect of this round of joint training seems to be even worse than before, in addition to Fei Jingyu and Zhou Peipei maintaining a good state as always, the performance of the special actors is even two more lifeless.

"Perfect! All the actors except Fei Jingyu are out of the play, everyone can get up and move their muscles, hard work, Tamson Sen! Immediately make up a close-up shot of a string breaking, and we're over this time. ”

Yan Qing's voice sounded abruptly through the director's microphone speaker, startling Zhou Peipei and the girls in a numb state, they couldn't figure out why this scene was inexplicable before waiting for the notice to shoot.

Fei Jingyu estimated that she had already seen something, and she calmly cooperated with Tamson to reshoot the shot.

"It's only 19:50, and we finished filming this scene forty minutes earlier than originally planned..."

Applauding, Luo Bing's face appeared with a breezy smile again, and she and Zhang Yameng helped the special actors up one by one and apologized: "I'm sorry, I just had to act in a scene to mobilize everyone's state, and Director Yan will explain the reason to everyone later." ”

The little girls looked at each other, and as they moved their hands and feet, they looked at the director who was looking for several other cameramen to collect video storage files, and for a while, countless question marks rushed straight to Yan Qing.

The shot of the broken string was only three seconds, and soon Tan Sen's side also finished shooting, and Fei Jingyu smiled charmingly at this time: "Brother Qing, your trick of cultivating the plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang is too amazing." ”

Yan Qing took the memory card handed by Tan Sen, and stuffed it with the other three copies to Liu Yuze, the chief editor who was temporarily called by him to join the group, for archiving and preprocessing, and did the same thing as Luo Bing, and apologized to all the special actors one by one.

“… Due to the tight time constraints of the shooting, this is the only way to do this..."

Yan Qing explained sincerely: "I know you must have a lot of confusion in your hearts..."

Facing Yan Qing, who had regained his gentle and elegant state, the girls of the Imperial Capital Youth National Orchestra had no fear at this time, and they raised a lot of questions.

"The filming schedule is very fast, there are a lot of things to deal with, I can't tell everyone one by one, and I have to coordinate everyone's state in the camera, so I can only make this decision, maybe you don't understand it, but it doesn't matter, I'll show you the rough cut footage and the footage playback of our initial NG..."

is reasonable, Yan Qing has to give a reasonable explanation to the special actors who can hear the fog cover of Yunshan and fog, and he didn't even think about directly offering the killer feature of playback: "As soon as you compare your state in the camera, you can figure it out." ”

After hurriedly explaining, Yan Qing turned back to Liu Yuze, and the two began to edit the archived materials on the spot.

Typically, the first frame of the footage is a slate board, and the editor will compare the storyboard, storyboard, and timeline to complete the editing based on the information recorded above.

Yan Qing's black-box operation did not have a board playing and recording link, and all the footage shot by the four cameras did not come with slate board information, which added a lot of difficulty to the editing, which is why Director Yan had to let the chief editor Liu Yuze follow the group tonight.

Lack of references, the choice of all lens materials can only be completed through the communication between the director and the editor, four cameras, no more than two minutes of shooting time before and after, the total duration of all lens materials is about 500 seconds, no scene information, Liu Yuze relied on his rich experience, excellent understanding ability, excellent editing skills to complete the task beautifully, and even led the audio track recorded on the scene into the rough cut semi-finished video.

"Come on, just after Brother Qing explained, you pestered me and asked me for a long time, in fact, the mystery here can be understood at a glance..."

Fei Jingyu took over the Pad that served as the director's monitor, and beckoned the Yingying Yanyan to gather around her to watch the playback, and she didn't forget to point to Yan Qing, who deliberately kept a certain distance from the girls: "I have to make it clear, usually the right to watch the playback is only available to the director and the leading actors with a very high status, and I am also grateful to everyone..."
