Chapter 60: Filming of a New Drama Begins (5)
The scenes filmed by the entire crew today are all the same scene, and the set is the school and classroom.
Most film and television works are not shot in the order of the script. Generally, the scenes of the same scene will be filmed in one day. For example, in the indoor scene of Song Yi at school, the time in the movie may be several months apart, but it was actually filmed on the same day.
Judging from the commodity attributes of the movie, it comes down to saving money. In fact, movies are the same as other products, they need to save time and labor costs to obtain lower costs, so as to earn more profits.
For example, the production cycle of digital films (about 90 minutes) in China is generally 15-20 days, and some may only be two weeks. A 90-minute movie will generally have about 110 scenes.
Therefore, in order to shoot a feature film in such a short time, it is important to arrange the shooting. Specifically, this problem is done by the role of coordinator in the production department in the crew.
The coordinator will make a shooting plan before filming according to factors such as scenes, actors, weather, equipment, etc., and fine-tune various shooting details at any time according to the daily shooting progress.
This not only saves manpower and material resources, but also saves time for shooting.
The filming time of "Sky" was a little longer, one month long, perhaps because this was Xu Tian's first time as a director, so he was extra attentive and strict in many details of filming and the performances of the actors, so that the time spent would naturally be more.
By the time the filming of the second scene officially started today, the actors were already in place, adjusted their state, and quickly entered the state of filming.
This scene is mainly about Zhang Yunkai taking the initiative to talk to Song Yi, but he was treated coldly by the other party and ignored him. Zhang Yunkai put his hot face on his cold buttocks, feeling that he was being swept away by Song Yi, he was originally a narrow-minded person, and he was quite dissatisfied with Song Yi in his heart, and secretly hated Song Yi.
After that, Zhang Yunkai deliberately took the classmates in the class to alienate Song Yi, and said a lot of bad things about Song Yi in private.
In addition, Song Yi himself has a gloomy face and treats people indifferently. It's not that the classmates in the class didn't take the initiative to show him favor and help him better integrate into the new class, but he ignored all of them, didn't speak, just sat there indifferently, or read books, or wrote homework.
Over time, the classmates in the class naturally didn't pay attention to Song Yi anymore, and because of Zhang Yunkai's prodding, they privately formed a gang to form a small group, becoming more and more alienated and squeezing out Song Yi.
And Song Yi has always been silent, as if he was just a spectator, and everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Song Yi was gradually isolated, this further fueled Zhang Yunkai's arrogance, and he often bullied Song Yi.
Xu Rui has long held a grudge because He Shuihuai robbed him of the role of Song Yi, the second male son, and now he plays Zhang Yunkai who targets Song Yi everywhere in the movie, so naturally he will not let go of this good opportunity, and secretly stumble He Shuihuai on the grounds of filming.
"Cards!" The assistant director shouted with a loudspeaker: "Teacher Xu, there doesn't seem to be a scene in this scene where Zhang Yunkai drops the book on Song Yi's face..."
He said as he spoke, paying attention to Xu Tian's face sitting beside him. Although Xu Tian hugged his arms and did not speak, it could be seen from the other party's frowning brows that his current mood was not very good.
According to what is written in the script, it should be that "Zhang Yunkai" took "Song Yi's" homework book and hid it when he was handing out the homework book. After "Song Yi" found out, he went to "Zhang Yunkai" and asked him to return the homework book to himself, but "Zhang Yunkai" naturally denied that he had taken "Song Yi's" homework, and had a one-sided quarrel with "Song Yi".
And when "Song Yi" faced the sneering of "Zhang Yunkai", he was still indifferent, just asking the other party where his homework was, as if the person in the mouth of "Zhang Yunkai" was not him.
"Song Yi" annoyed "Zhang Yunkai" with his diametrically opposed attitude, and in a fit of anger, "Zhang Yunkai" threw all the books on the table of "Song Yi" on the ground.
The whole scene should be like this.
But just now, Xu Rui added a drama to himself, even if he took the book and smashed it in He Shuihuai's face.
"Deputy Director Wu, I'm sorry, I was too deep into the play just now," Xu Rui turned his head to He Shuihuai and said, "Teacher He, you won't mind, right?" “
Although Xu Rui said so, there was no apology on his face, as if he had made an inconsequential joke.
All the people present looked at each other, waiting to hear how He Shuihuai answered Xu Rui's words.
He Shuihuai didn't smile, "Hehe, I don't mind..."
It's strange if you don't mind!
When Xu Rui hit him in the face with the book just now, fortunately he reacted quickly and subconsciously avoided it.
Otherwise, with Xu Rui's strength, a book hit him in the face alive, his face must not be swollen too high, how can he continue filming.
Since He Shuihuai had already said that, Deputy Director Wu couldn't say anything more, commanded the other actors, and said, "Do it again!"
The director spoke, and even though the actors present had a lot of complaints about Xu Rui in their hearts, they didn't show it.
It's one thing to be dissatisfied, but you still have to do enough to save face on the surface.
After all, the water in the entertainment industry is too deep, the relationships in it are chaotic, and in the eyes of most people, they only have their own interests, and they can't be busy with their own affairs, let alone other people's affairs.
Therefore, as long as it does not involve its own interests, everyone's attitude is that it is not about themselves.
Naturally, no one came out to accuse Xu Rui of being wrong.
Shen Cheng wanted to help He Shuihuai go back, but the other party stopped him in time.
He Shuihuai is not a "virgin's heart", he just thinks that more things are better than less, although fools can see that Xu Rui did it on purpose just now, but if the other party doesn't see it, he will accept it, and next time, then he won't be ruthless.
When filming for the second time, Xu Rui didn't go wrong, and honestly followed the script.
may be that he is quite dissatisfied with He Shuihuai in his heart, corresponding to the fact that "Zhang Yunkai" also hates "Song Yi" in the play, Xu Rui's state of mind resonates with "Zhang Yunkai", and Xu Rui's interpretation of the role of "Zhang Yunkai" in the play is very good, and the emotions are in place.
The next few scenes were filmed with some "Song Yi" in the daily life of the school, "Zhang Yunkai" was embarrassed by "Song Yi" and the like.
The male protagonist "Xia Zheng" is a troubled teenager, although skipping class is one of his daily routines, but in the second half of the movie, even after he and "Song Yi" became friends, the two spent a quarter of their time together, all at school.
Among them, there are two more important scenes, one is when "Xia Zheng" helped "Zhang Yunkai" bully "Song Yi" and taught "Zhang Yunkai" a lesson; The other was that "Xia Zheng" and "Zhang Yunkai" fought in the classroom because of the matter of "Song Yi", and was criticized by the whole school, and asked him to stand on the rostrum and read the review book in front of the whole school teachers and students to set an example.
In the end, when "Xia Zheng" came to the stage to read the review, "Song Yi" rushed to the rostrum, dragged "Xia Zheng" all the way over the wall and fled outside the school.
The venue of the second scene is in the outdoor playground, and a large number of group performances are required, so the last scene filmed today is the scene where "Xia Zheng" and "Zhang Yunkai" fight in the class because of "Song Yi".
This kind of "fighting" is generally action and makeup, and it will not really fight.
"Xia Zheng" and "Zhang Yunkai" were young and vigorous, and they fought on the spot when they didn't agree with each other. The two of them pretended to scuffle in front of the camera, and made a few "fake fight" movements such as punching and kicking each other.
Once the camera shoot was complete, the makeup artist began to apply special effects on their faces such as wounds, bloodstains, bruises, etc. After applying makeup, continue to shoot down.
After all the shots are finished, the post-production staff will edit and synthesize these shots, after which the final film will come out.
When "Xia Zheng" and "Zhang Yunkai" scuffled in the play, Shen Cheng deliberately increased the strength of his hands in certain actions.
This caused Xu Rui to be pinched by Shen Cheng after filming this scene for the first time, and his arms and legs were pinched by Shen Cheng, and he was a little painful.
It's not that he didn't throw his face at the other party and questioned, but he couldn't say anything blocked by Shen Cheng's leisurely sentence "Hand strength is naturally so big, you have to bear more on your behalf", so he could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
So until they finished filming the whole scene, Xu Rui looked like he was iron-clad. But fortunately, the makeup on his face is thick enough, and the emotions that need him to interpret in this scene are also anger, and his own emotions are not so abrupt during filming.
The assistant director held the horn and shouted: "Card, call it a day!" Later, it indicates that all the shooting has been completed today.
Shen Cheng and He Shuihuai walked side by side to the outside of the set, Shen Cheng saw Lin Bai walking towards them, he deliberately narrowed the distance between him and He Shuihuai, and whispered: "I don't take it lightly, it is estimated that Xu Rui has been in pain for several days, haha......"
Of course, He Shuihuai knew what Shen Cheng was referring to, he turned his head sideways and glanced at Xu Rui not far away, "He is probably angry with you, he's still losing his temper at his assistant at this moment!"
"He deserves it," Shen Cheng looked a little proud, "Who told him to be uneasy first and want to smash you with a book!"
He Shuihuai smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"
"What are you two muttering again?" Lin Baihu walked up to the two of them with a face, and pulled He Shuihuai aside, "Bad, didn't I tell you, don't get too close to that scumbag man!"
Glancing at Shen Cheng with disdain, Lin Bai continued: "Be careful of his plot against you!"
He Shuihuai: "......" He is not a piece of Tang monk meat, everyone wants to take two bites!
Shen Cheng asked on the side, "Assistant Lin, are you here to pick up Shui Huai and go home?"
Lin Bai obviously didn't really want to answer his words, so he turned around and pulled He Shuihuai and walked out.
"Hey, what are you doing so fast," Shen Cheng followed closely behind them, "Shui Huai and I are neighbors, can Assistant Lin pick me up by the way?"
He Shuihuai was a little surprised, he didn't know that Shen Cheng and him were neighbors, but why didn't Lin Bai tell him?
Lin Bai didn't seem to hear Shen Cheng's words, but He Shuihuai saw that everyone in the crew was looking at them, and opened his mouth to return, "Okay, let's go together later." “
"Hahaha...... Shui Huai, you are so good!"
When Lin Bai heard this, he didn't know where he was stimulated, and dragged He Shuihuai to go faster!
