Chapter 39. Short films are hard to make
"You're so talented!" Li Haohao said angrily.
"Hehe...," Bai Qi chuckled, "and because I'm blind, other people subconsciously think that my other senses will be more developed." ”
"And a person with a disability and self-improvement will definitely work harder and more intensively than others professionally, and his piano skills will naturally be stronger."
"Think about it, is it easier for a blind pianist who has good skills and is naturally easy to arouse empathy in others? Are they more likely to be recommended to friends and those around you in need? ”
"And people are kinder, less guarded, and I can easily see a side of them that they don't know."
In Jiang Zhan's expectation, when he said this paragraph in the film, he would intersperse some clips where people were unguarded in front of him, or even quietly showed some unknown sides, but now that filming has just started, he will avoid talking about it for now.
Li Haohao's face was a little ugly and said, "You are really a voyeur!" ”
Bai Qi said disapprerovingly: "This is very normal, in front of the blind, people don't need to feel ashamed and uneasy, and they don't have to wear masks all the time, they can be more relaxed and soothing." ”
"And I'm getting more orders, more gifts... What's so bad about that? ”
Li Haohao snorted coldly: "Then have you thought about it?" What if something happens to you? I won't be able to escape when the time comes! ”
"Have you received any complaints and reports now?" Bai Qi asked, and then smiled confidently, "Or do you want to fire me squid?" At first, it was the blind man you asked me to pretend to be. ”
Li Haohao gritted his teeth in a low voice and said, "That's just a customer request!" Only that once! ”
Bai Qi continued: "It was precisely because of that time that we discovered the benefits of being blind, didn't it?" ”
"Suck..." Li Haohao took a deep breath, his head turned back and forth, his mouth squirmed and he stretched out his tongue and licked his lower lip, as if he wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.
After talking for a while, he leaned over and approached Bai Qi and said, "Let me be healthy." ”
Bai Qi instantly understood what he meant, leaned forward to approach Bai Qi, raised his hand and took off half of his sunglasses, and revealed to Li Haohao a pair of 'blind eyes' wearing contact lenses and full of whites.
"Da!"
Li Haohao raised his hand and snapped his fingers in front of his eyes, and Bai Qi's pupils did not change in the slightest, as if he really couldn't see it.
"It's going to take a long time to practice, right? Pretend to be blind. He said.
Bai Qi smiled lightly: "It's okay." ”
After glancing at Li Haohao's reaction, he said again: "It looks like you're still not at ease, right?" So, let's do a test. ”
"Waiter."
Ma Bin, who had been waiting outside the camera for a long time, appeared, he walked into the camera and asked, "Hello, sir, is there anything wrong?" ”
"I seem to be missing a penny.."
"It's not this one, they're not the same size.."
"Are you trying to lie to me because I'm blind?"
"I'm going to complain, get your boss here!"
"No, no.. Excuse me, sir.. I.. I'll pay you.."
"Click!"
Jiang Zhan shouted, and this part was finished.
"How? Is the shooting okay? "When the shooting was over, everyone came up to ask.
"Don't worry, let's take a look at the effect first."
Jiang Zhan opened the notebook, transferred the footage taken by the mobile phone to the notebook, and played it.
"Li Haohao, your expression is a little stiff?"
"And what about me, you're not much better, it looks like the traces of the performance are too heavy, and you laugh like a villain..."
"Why is this picture so weird? Bai Qi, your face is a little distorted..."
Several people expressed their opinions, Jiang Zhan also watched the same while comparing with the original version in his memory, the camera movement and storyboard when he shot before were all according to the original version in his memory, but the final shooting effect was not the same thing, and the shooting angle and distance did not seem to be right.
And Bai Qi and Li Haohao's acting skills are also very problematic, Li Haohao is too nervous, every time Jiang Zhan shoots him, the expression on his face is very nervous and stiff, and he looks at his eyes unnaturally.
Bai Qi too, although he didn't make the mistake of looking at the camera, but how to say it, I always feel that his expression changes a little too hard, and it is a little fake.
All in all, this shot is definitely not usable and can only be reshot.
"Remake." Jiang Zhan said.
Then everyone reshot it seven times in a row, but there was still a problem every time, the restaurant was only less than four minutes of footage, and they couldn't do it for three or four hours, and it was already dark outside.
In the end, there was no way, and everyone could only give up for the time being, after all, everyone was tired, not physically, but mentally.
Everyone is out of shape, so naturally they can't shoot, Jiang Zhan invited guests, and after having dinner in the restaurant on the spot, he went back to school and agreed to shoot again tomorrow.
And then three days passed.
As for the footage in the restaurant, it took them three full days to shoot!
It's hard to describe the hardships.
Fortunately, the three-day training is not all useless, first of all, Jiang Zhan's shooting techniques, he has a more accurate grasp of the angle and distance when shooting, and combined with the original version in his head, he can compare it at all times, in terms of camera movement and storyboarding, it can be regarded as barely passing.
And Bai Qi is also a hard-working person, in the past three days, he has been holding the detailed script that Jiang Zhan made up for him every day, and he has been thinking about how to act all the time, which is almost to the point of madness.
When it comes to filming those few segments at the end, his performance and state can be said to be no problem, although it may be inferior to the original version, there is a sense of jerkiness, but it is already above the passing line.
Only Li Haohao has been dragging his feet, if it weren't for the fact that his role was not heavy, Jiang Zhan would have wanted to replace him, this guy is really not suitable for acting!
After filming the plot of the restaurant, the follow-up shooting became much smoother, Bai Qi's progress was really great, and he performed very well in the follow-up shots, and it was successfully completed without reshooting a few times.
Subsequently, with the help of Liu Siqi, they found a senior sister from the dance department to help make a cameo, and borrowed the dance studio and piano in the school to shoot a video about people being defenseless in front of the blind and exposing some human nature that is not known to outsiders, and the general content has been filmed.
In the end, only the ending plot of the protagonist coming to the heroine's house remains.
But this plot is also the most difficult to shoot and the most demanding acting skills.
All the foreshadowing and subplots are prepared for this final outbreak, which is the essence of the whole film, if this section is not filmed well, the quality of the entire short film will be seriously reduced and become eclipsed.
So in order to shoot this part well, Jiang Zhan and the others also deliberately took leave for several classes, and they came out for three full days to shoot this part of the plot as well as possible.
