Chapter 41. Filming in progress
Of course, emojis or something, it's already a later story, so let's not show it for now.
"Ding-dong."
After ringing the doorbell, within a few seconds, the door opened, and a middle-aged aunt opened the door, and saw Li Haohao standing at the door, with a smile on her face.
"It's Haohao, what's the matter?"
"Aunt Wu, that's the case, my classmates and I are filming a short film, and I want to ask Auntie to help you make a scene."
This Aunt Wu is Li Haohao's neighbor across the door, and she has known Li Haohao and his family since childhood.
"Make a short film? Is it the kind of video on Douyin? Aunt Wu asked with some curiosity, looking very interested.
Li Haohao opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say, "Almost, Aunt Wu, can you help?" β
Aunt Wu hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "It's no problem to help, but Auntie, I can't act, and I don't know if I can do it." β
Li Haohao immediately smiled and said: "It's definitely no problem, it's just a matter of a few shots." β
"Well... Then tell me first, what do you want me to do? β
Li Haohao turned his head and glanced at Jiang Zhan, Jiang Zhan understood, and stepped forward and said: "Hello Aunt Wu, my name is Jiang Zhan, I am Li Haohao's college classmate, and I am also the director of this short film. β
"That's right, the role you want to play is Li Haohao's neighbor of their family, and they are considered to have played in their true colors, and when my classmate Bai Qi will ring the doorbell of Li Haohao's house, and then one of our female classmates will open the door and talk to him, and when you hear their voices, you will open the door and poke your head out to take a look..."
"Your character, you've already noticed something wrong before, there was a violent quarrel in the opposite house a few hours ago..."
β... So you've been paying attention to the situation of this house through the cat's eye, and my classmate, too, is a little wrong, obviously a blind person, but when he was outside the door, he took out a notebook to check his notes..."
"You'd better lean out with a skeptical look on your face, and then when my classmate was about to enter the opposite room, you had a look of incessant stopping, as if you were going to warn him to stop, but you didn't say anything."
Jiang Zhan briefly told this Aunt Wu about the play and the role setting she was going to play, but looking at her blank appearance, she obviously didn't understand.
So after thinking about it, Jiang Zhan changed to a simpler way of expression.
"Anyway, Aunt Wu, when you hear the voice, open the door and take a look, and then open your mouth, but don't make a sound."
As soon as she said this, Aunt Wu instantly understood.
"yes, I see."
Jiang Zhan smiled and thanked him: "Okay, then please Aunt Wu." β
"It's okay, you're welcome, it's just a little thing." Aunt Wu replied with a smile, and then said, "You're about to start filming, right?" Then I'll close the door too... When I am asked to open the door and show my face, you knock softly on the door, and I will stand at the door and wait for you. β
After everything is ready, the final scene of the tuner officially starts filming!
Bai Qi stood in front of the door, sorted out the meter, and rang the doorbell.
But after waiting for a while, no one responded, Bai Qi couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake in the place or time.
He took out a notebook from the inner pocket of his coat, opened it and confirmed the commission record, the place was right, the time was right, so he put the note away and rang the doorbell again.
This time, the sound of footsteps finally came from inside the door.
"Who?" An inquiry was heard from inside the door.
"Pianist."
"Who?"
"I'm a piano tuner, and I came here with an order from Mr. Jiang Zhan."
"Uh... My boyfriend isn't home now, you can come back another day. β
When Bai Qiyan outside the door heard this, he raised the guide stick in his hand a little impatiently and nodded to the ground, saying, "I don't need your boyfriend to be present to tune the piano." β
The female voice inside the door said indifferently: "I don't understand this, you better wait for my boyfriend to come back." β
Bai Qi was slightly angry in his heart, and habitually moved out of his blind persona: "I am a blind person, it is not easy to come to your house, you did not cancel this commission in advance, if I go back like this, the order will fail." β
He added, "Can you at least open the door and explain?" β
After waiting for two seconds, seeing that there was no response in the door, Bai Qi raised his hand again impatiently and rang the doorbell.
This time, the door finally opened, Liu Siqi pulled the door with one hand, only opened the door ajar, and blocked the door himself, not letting people outside the door see the scene inside the house.
She first quickly raised her eyes and looked at Bai Qi a few times, and saw that he did look like a blind person, and her tense face eased a little.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't prepared, I didn't expect your visit, my boyfriend didn't tell me beforehand..."
She was about to prevaricate with words first and send Bai Qi back, but at this moment, a door lock rang, the opposite door opened, and the neighbor Aunt Wu poked her head out of the crack in the door, looking at the two of them with a strange expression.
Liu Siqi's face changed slightly for a moment, his eyes flickered, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Please come in, let's have a cup of tea first." β
This Bai Qi has always been unrelenting, and she was afraid that this guy would make trouble again and let the neighbors see what was wrong, so she simply opened the door and welcomed him into the house.
βNICEοΌ Jiang Zhan secretly said in his heart, Liu Siqi is worthy of being an actor who debuted as a child star, this acting is really good, although this is her first official shooting, but there is really no choice in terms of acting skills.
turned back to the camera again, and took a shot of Aunt Wu opening her mouth, wanting to speak and stopping, wanting to say something, the long shot outside the door, even if it was over.
And it's a pass! Jiang Zhan, who was smooth, felt a little unreal, in the past, even if it was just to shoot a restaurant conversation, it took them almost three days, and it took more than 30 reshoots to pass, and now one has passed.
He asked Liu Siqi to help, he really found the right one, in the paragraph just now, it was obvious that Liu Siqi was guiding Bai Qi to act, so that he could have such a good effect.
"Click!"
In this way, the shot outside the door is over, and the next shot is only the interior shot.
"Okay, Ah Bai, Siqi, you two will rest for a while, find your feelings, Pony, Ah Hao, let's set up the scene."
Ma Bin moved several buckets of paint to the edge of the living room, and opened one of the buckets, revealing the bright red paint in it, and dumped it on the floor tiles.
Li Haohao also tore open several packets of artificial plasma, poured it in the living room, and mixed it with paint.
Jiang Zhan, on the other hand, picked up a bottle of plasma spray and sprayed it on the left half of his body, dyeing his clothes red, and then sat directly on the sofa, waiting to serve as a prop background.
Later, there will be a shot of Bai Qi stepping on plasma and paint and falling, and then seeing a shot of Jiang Zhan's corpse, so Jiang Zhan has to leave the country again.
But this time he didn't need to re-apply his makeup, after all, it was just a frontal shot, and the close-up of the fatal wound on the temple after that had already been filmed before, and it would be enough to edit it in the later stage.
