Chapter 60: Filming in progress
successfully signed Qi Wei, and Gu Cancan has been thinking about her development route.
Qi Wei's appearance is cute and attackable, in the original time and space, Qi Wei was also a popular little flower, a smash hit, but it was only for a while. It's a pity that her brokerage team is more rubbish, and she doesn't have any good resources, and later they all became 18th lines, and the street photos that broke out were like Internet celebrities.
Gu Cancan feels that although Qi Wei is not from the acting department, her acting skills are basically online, and her appearance is quite recognizable in the entertainment industry, and it should still be possible to cultivate a powerful actor in her own company.
The loan of the bright era has been approved, and the box office share of "Nightclub" is about to be credited, and the next bright era will also produce some TV series and variety shows, making money and expanding its influence at the same time.
When the time comes, there will be enough works for Qi Wei to play.
Just thinking about it, Wan Qian appeared in a cheongsam with a simple color.
Gu Cancan's eyes lit up, Wan Qian's height is not very tall, but she is also one meter six and five, her figure is concave and convex, and she has a special temperament in a cheongsam.
"Sister Wan Qian, you are so beautiful today." Gu Cancan's sincere admiration.
Wan Qian pursed her lips and smiled, wearing a cheongsam with a classical temperament, she said with a smile: "The clothes prepared by the crew are very beautiful. ”
"The key is that people are beautiful." Gu Cancan said with a smile, looking Wan Qian up and down.
Qi Wei glanced at Wan Qian enviously, her makeup was deliberately desperately ugly, and Qi Wei didn't dare to look in the mirror again after putting on makeup.
Wan Qian is an experiential actor, and her understanding of Zhang Yiman is that Zhang Yiman is a woman who loves beauty, is very confident and very attractive, with a kind of sexiness in her bones.
Since he arrived in Xiangyuan County, he has gradually let his state enter Zhang Yiman.
At this time, she walked swaying with a kind of style, like a lady walking down from an old calendar.
Gu Cancan's eyes lit up, Wan Qian's temperament was very different from usual, she was really a strong acting school.
Actors who have experienced the tempering of drama are different.
So what kind of performance will Wan Qian have when the filming really starts next, Gu Cancan is looking forward to it even more.
The cast and crew all got on two buses to confirm that no one was left, and the two buses carried the group to Xiaohebao Village.
Gu Cancan didn't do anything special, and he was also on the bus.
In the car she was in, there were all actors who got water from donkeys.
In addition to the ugly Qi Wei and Wan Qian, who is beautiful to a new height, Zhang Jiayi with a bald head is more eye-catching.
In the play, Zhang Jiayi plays the role of a correspondent.
Gu Cancan's memory is preconceived, and the image of the commissioner in the original version is quite classic.
I always feel that Zhang Jiayi's appearance is loyal and honest, but I have interviewed many actors, but they are not as good as Zhang Jiayi's superb acting skills, and I have cooperated in nightclubs before, and I finally found Zhang Jiayi, well, his bald head looks quite strong.
……
Cao Jiankui was a very good deputy, and he had already prepared the opening ceremony in front of the gate of the Rain Temple.
The opening ceremony used the ancient Ming and Qing opera troupes, and a large table was placed on the large square of the rain temple, on which pig's heads and various fruits were placed, and the time came to worship heaven and earth.
In the past, Gu Cancan didn't believe in these, and when he saw that the media reported on the start-up ceremony of so-and-so, he ridiculed it as feudal superstition.
However, this kind of thing has really happened to him, Gu Cancan now believes that there is a mysterious power in the underworld, and it doesn't hurt to worship the gods of heaven and earth and the surrounding land anyway.
After the start-up ceremony, Gu Cancan gave a simple speech.
"Everyone, today "Donkey Gets Water" is officially launched! This is a big event in our brilliant era! Thank you very much for joining this movie, I also have high hopes for this movie, all the staff present are the mainstay of our bright era, and the acting skills of all teachers are obvious to all, I believe that with our joint efforts, this film was filmed smoothly and was a complete success! ”
There was a round of applause.
Jin Shijie turned his head sideways and said to Zhang Jiayi beside him: "The little girl is quite a general." ”
"We worked together once," Zhang Jiayi whispered while clapping: "Don't look at her young age, Cancan is very talented as a director, the last time I cooperated with her in a nightclub, her first work, the performance was very easy, and the sense of camera and rhythm were particularly good." ”
"Oh? Then I'm going to look forward to it. Jin Shijie nodded slightly.
Qi Wei looked at the high-spirited Gu Cancan in front of everyone, and there was a moment of jealousy, the same person is not the same life, look at others, he can be a director and make movies in his teens, his family conditions are so good, he has to have twists and turns if he wants to enter the entertainment industry to make money.
But it's more about gratitude.
Qi Wei knows that he is not particularly good-looking, and he is not from a professional background, and if he wants to become popular, he may need to pay a lot of things under normal circumstances.
But now Gu Cancan signed her without any excessive requirements for her, and the terms of the contract are not harsh, although Bright Times is just a small company with no name, but it has successful film production experience, and there are few artists in the company, I feel really lucky to be able to participate in Gu Cancan's movies by joining myself.
I only hate that Gu Cancan is not a man, otherwise Qi Wei would want to post it upside down.
After a brief speech, Gu Cancan waved his hand: "Start work!" ”
The cast and crew began to take their places.
Gu Cancan looked at the wooden horizontal bars and parallel bars in front of the Rain God Temple and a basketball hoop, and expressed his satisfaction.
It is made of wood, except for the necessary rivets, there is no metal on it, and it looks like it has been prepared with care.
As far as the eye can see, the hilly terrain is undulating, with meadow bushes and bare rough loess alternating yellow and green, and a gust of wind blows through it, rolling up yellow dust.
From the environment, it can be seen that this place is indeed arid and water-deficient.
The power of the autumn tiger continued, just nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining on the body, and it felt hot.
"It's hot, you have to prepare enough drinking water, hey, is there electricity here?" Gu Cancan wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Cao Jiankui.
"Well, it's electricity."
Gu Cancan thought for a while: "Buy a refrigerator, it's the kind that is placed in the supermarket, it looks like it's going to be hot for a while, prepare some cold drinks for the big guys." ”
"Good. I heard that tartary buckwheat tea is abundant in the local area, so I asked people to boil some tartary buckwheat tea. Cao Jiankui wrote it down in a notebook and arranged it later.
"By the way, I heard that your girlfriend is also on the crew?"
Cao Jiankui said a little embarrassed: "She didn't have anything to do during this time, so she came with her and worked as a drama manager in the crew." ”
Gu Cancan looked at Shen He, who was busy in the field, and raised his chin at her: "It's her, right?" ”
"Yes."
"You have a good eye." Gu Cancan looked at Shen He's delicate curves and expressed his envy for Cao Jiankui......
"I heard that she is in the Chinese opera acting class?" Gu Cancan said suddenly.
Cao Jiankui's heart jumped, and he said slowly: "Well, yes, she also graduated this year." Ran through the tricks in several crews. ”
"What's her name?"
"Shen He."
"Shen He?" Gu Cancan's eyes looked ahead, and he quickly recalled in his mind, well, confirm that he had not heard of this name.
It is also normal that there are so many graduates of the performance departments of major art colleges and universities every year, and there are not one hundred who can be famous.
Obviously, this Shen He belongs to the kind that has not been mixed.
Gu Cancan looked at Shen He, she looked cute and sweet, she looked very pleasing to the eye in reality, but on the screen, she was not so brilliant.
And she is short in height, at most one meter in her early sixties, fortunately, her body proportion is particularly good, and she looks pleasing to the eye.
"If you graduated from a Chinese opera acting class, you should at least have acting skills, right?" Gu Cancan muttered.
After all, acting blanks like Tangtang are still relatively rare in Chinese dramas.
"He He's acting skills are okay." Cao Jiankui lost no time in saying.
Gu Cancan nodded, thought for a while and said to Cao Jiankui: "Later, you let Shen He try the play, if I can see it, let her play the role of Jiajia, her image is also quite suitable." ”
"You're not acting?" Cao Jiankui was a little surprised.
Gu Cancan nodded: "Don't act, I'll concentrate on filming." ”
At first, Gu Cancan wanted her to play the role of Jiajia, so when interviewing actors, this role was directly removed without an interview.
Now Gu Cancan doesn't want to act.
Jiajia's character is hot-blooded and simple, and it is a touch of hope in the despair in the movie, but in terms of this character setting, it is relatively face-painted and there is not much room for performance.
Shen He's appearance conditions are quite in line with the role of Jiajia, and Gu Cancan decided to hand over the role of Jiajia to her.
took the time to try Shen He's acting skills, I can't say how amazing it is, but at least the acting skills are online.
Shen He was very pleasantly surprised, she had mentioned to Cao Jiankui that she wanted to play this role, but she didn't expect that her dream could really come true.
"Husband, is this the role you asked Gu Cancan for?" Seeing that there was no one around, Shen He kissed Cao Jiankui's face, hugged his arm beautifully, and the smile on his face was about to overflow.
"No, Cancan offered to let you try it. He He, I'll try the show later, you must behave well. ”
After the audition, Shen He's acting skills were good, Gu Cancan nodded with satisfaction, and said to her: "The acting skills are very good." However, this character has a plot where he wants to cut his hair and cut it into the head of a student in the Republic of China, can you accept it? ”
Shen He touched his long hair that had been blown to his chest in distress, and nodded decisively: "Director, no problem." ”
"Well, then you go and ask the makeup artist to put on your makeup, and try to shoot it later."
Chen Chen quietly asked Gu Cancan: "Cancan, why don't you suddenly want to play the role of Jiajia?" ”
"Hot."
……
In the morning warm-up, Gu Cancan first shot some long shots, allowing everyone to bring their own characters into the environment and find the feeling first.
Cao Jiankui took Qi Wei to shoot the scene on her way to find the coppersmith.
In order to show the coppersmith's wife played by Qi Wei cares about and cares about the coppersmith, there is a scene where Qi Wei walks hurriedly on the steep dirt slope and accidentally rolls down the dirt slope.
Qi Wei was wearing a blue floral gown, and a bright red turban was wrapped around his head, and his feet slipped as he walked, and the person rolled down the dirt slope.
"Click."
Cao Jiankui looked at the finished video and said to Qi Wei: "Qi Wei, the action you slipped and fell just now was too exaggerated, too deliberate, and very unnatural. ”
Qi Wei also leaned over to look at herself in the video, her actions were indeed exaggerated, and she said embarrassedly: "Director Cao, I'm sorry, I'll do it again." ”
The second time I fell, I couldn't roll down.
The third time, Qi Wei fell and didn't grasp her balance, and the whole person was planted head-down, fortunately, it was all soft loess, she was not injured, but she was extremely embarrassed, and the whole person was disgraced.
However, the effect of the third shooting is very good, and if you want to shoot Qi Wei again, you will cry.
However, this paragraph may not be edited into the film in the future. A movie may be shot for hundreds or thousands of minutes, but in the end, it is edited into a movie that can be released, and most of them end up being only 90 minutes or 120 minutes.
On the first day of filming, Gu Cancan didn't arrange too many scenes, although Jin Shijie, Wang Kai, Ren Chengwei and others are all acting schools, but when they get together, they still need to run in.
"The first scene, the first shot, the fourth one!"
Gu Cancan sat in front of the camera lens, sitting precariously.
Syllable~!
Playing the board and exiting.
Zhou Tienan, played by Wang Kai, is wearing a white shirt and blue trousers, and the shirt is placed outside in a chic manner, gently fluttering in the wind.
He walked over to the post where the alarm clock was hung and tugged on the drawstring with his hand a few times, but the alarm clock did not respond.
Zhou Tienan pads up to unload the alarm clock.
The camera shoots upwards from a low angle next to it, and against the background of the blue sky and white clouds, it seems that Zhou Tienan's figure is very tall.
"Click~! It's over. Gu Cancan signaled to pass.
There is no difficulty in this section.
The camera switches to the hall of the Rain Temple, which has been converted into a classroom, with the blue sky and white sun flag hanging on the front wall, and the head of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the father of the nation, in the middle, and a large blackboard from right to left is written in traditional Chinese characters: "Sanmin Primary School Final Summary Meeting of the 31st Semester of the Republic of China".
The equipment was moved to the hall and everything was ready.
"The second scene, the first shot, the first one."
"There are only six students left who come to the school to take the exam this semester. In response to this situation, I think we should give up rest and go deep into the countryside and go door-to-door to work as parents of school-age children. ”
With meticulous hair combed and a white short-sleeved shirt tied upright in his pants, Pei Kuishan, played by Ren Chengwei, reported to the principal played by Jin Shijie.
In the other direction, another camera is facing Wan Qian, and Zhang Yiman, who she plays, is holding a piece of clothing material and gesturing on her body in front of the mirror.
At the same time, Jin Shijie said to Ren Chengwei with a smile on his face: "Kuishan, in response to the phenomenon of student attrition, I think we should give some scholarships to students." ”
Jin Shijie's beard is not thick, so he simply did not have a beard, he wore a pair of round-framed eyes, sat in his seat and spoke slowly, naturally with a bigwig aura.
"Click."
Gu Cancan shouted to stop, this shot just now always felt a little discordant.
"Teacher Jin, take your aura again. The principal is elegant, with an idealized naivety. Your voice is a little softer. ”
"Besides, King Kaikai, don't stand, it's too obvious for class to appear, and you sit down. Let's re-shoot this one. ”
