Chapter Thirty-Nine: Filming, Zu'er
Because Lin Yuan and Chen He were eliminated in advance, although Li Chen and others resisted desperately and tore off several famous brands, in the end, it was the RM members who won.
However, after the victory, the RM members also handed over the keys to the running boys with their passports, helping them to return to China smoothly.
Lin Yuan originally wanted to return to China with the program team, but the day after recording the show was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Yuan weighed it and decided to stay in the kimchi country and spend the festival with his grandfather.
As for his father, Lin Zhe, he expressed his understanding and support for Lin Yuan's decision.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, as soon as Lin Yuan returned to China, he went directly to Hengdian to meet the crew who had been preparing there for several days.
Because there are hundreds of crews stationed in Hengdian Film and Television City all year round, most attractions require reservations.
Fortunately, the ancient part of the play does not need to be filmed in popular attractions such as palaces, just find a few streets and houses in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and in the end, the production department still succeeded in winning a two-week lease of 9.23-10.7.
The day after tomorrow, you can enter the scene and start shooting.
On 9.23, the crew found a vacant land outside the Hengdian-Qingming Shanghe Scenic Area and held a simple start-up ceremony.
Lin Yuan looked at the red roast suckling pig on the table, and his heart was full of emotion.
is worthy of being a drama filmed by himself, I didn't feel anything when I first filmed "The Four Famous Catches", but now I'm so nervous...
According to the convention, on the first day of filming and the last day of filming, the filming scenes should not be too difficult. This can reduce the number of NGs and be auspicious.
However, because there was not much time left for special effects production, it was necessary to prioritize the shooting of special effects shots.
Excellent special effects shots, it is impossible to send the 4K disk to the special effects company after shooting, and then the special effects company will make special effects according to the picture.
After doing this, the effect will only be given the title of [Wumao Special Effect] by netizens.
Excellent special effects must have a special effects designer involved in the whole process of shooting, and after discussion with the director, in all aspects such as prop setting, photography and camera movement, actor performance, etc., to create the best conditions for special effects production.
Lin Yuan's original plan was to try not to occupy Song Zuer's class time, but there were several special effects shots that had to involve Song Zuer, so in the end, Song Zuer took a week off.
However, after the crew saw Song Zuer's expression of being about to jump up with joy, Lin Yuan also felt that he was thinking too much.
The first shot shot after the start of the film is also the first shot of the whole play:
The ancient Qiao Linlin, who was widowed before she passed the door, sat in a sedan chair wearing a filial piety dress, and was carried to her mother-in-law's house crying.
Although Song Zuer is only a high school student, he has not undergone professional acting training.
But in fact, most of the characters pay more attention to the aura of the actor and the fit of the role.
As long as the role is not too complicated background and inner drama, it doesn't matter whether you have acting experience or not.
Just like Yuan Fengming and Silly Gen played by Bao Qiang at the beginning, if you change some people who have graduated from Nortel Chinese opera, they may not be better than Bao Qiang's performance.
Lin Yuan's only request to Zu'er is to cry beautifully while suffering with true feelings.
There must be tears, but there must be no snot bubbles.
In this regard, Zuer said - our little fairy will not bubble when she cries!
...
When all the departments are ready, the field reporter writes the information on the board and takes it to the camera.
""You from the Stars", one shot at a time, start!"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the clapperboard, a group of performers wearing filial piety clothes carried a plain sedan chair and slowly walked over from the other end of the path.
The scenes outside the sedan chair are all completed by the group performance, and the sedan chair at this time is also empty - anyway, the people in the sedan chair can't be filmed, so there is no need to make the group performance so tired.
Lin Yuan sat behind the monitor, feeling that the group performance was not bad, and raised the walkie-talkie with a smile:
Pass!
The next shot is Zuer, and the staff places the sedan chair on a high cushion and lets Zuer sit on it.
After the filming starts later, there will be staff members outside the sedan chair gently shaking the sedan chair, creating a bumpy feeling of the sedan chair being carried by the sedan chair driver.
"Zu'er, don't be nervous."
"Don't worry, Brother Yuan!"
Zu'er stood on tiptoe, patted Lin Yuan's shoulder, and walked towards the sedan chair with a calm face.
""You from the Stars", one scene and two shots, start!"
The clapperboard quickly pulled out of the camera, and Zu'er's slightly baby-fat face appeared on the monitor.
Zu'er, who was dressed in a sackcloth and filial piety clothes and wore a white turban, buried her head low, brewing emotions.
Although it was a live broadcast, this part of the brewing emotions would not be cut in, so Lin Yuan could rest assured that he could shout on the walkie-talkie.
"Zu'er, don't break your emotions, raise your head slightly."
"Okay, the sedan chair is a little bit more rocky... That's right! ”
Within a few seconds, Zu'er's emotions were already brewing, and tears slipped from the corners of her eyes like pearls. Zu'er sobbed quietly as she wiped the corners of her eyes with the white handkerchief she held in her hand.
"Good! It's windy! The sedan chair is a little bigger! ”
"Good! The spaceship is coming! Zuer open the window! Call! ”
"Okay, the sedan chair was blown away!"
In this scene, how each part should be played, Zuer has already seen the storyboard, and Lin Yuan has also emphasized it to Zuer, so it went quite smoothly.
After shooting a shot, Lin Yuan watched the playback several times and felt that there was no need to [keep one], so he passed it happily.
"Well acted! Here, Brother Ringo invites you to a snack! ”
Lin Yuan smiled and took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Zu'er, and rubbed Zu'er's little head with his hand.
The rules handed down in the circle, such as wearing filial piety, acting as a dead person, and taking a posthumous photo, whether it is a starring role or a group performance, the crew must seal a red envelope for others.
In this scene, each group performer has 200 and Zuer has 1,000, all of which Lin Yuan paid out of his own pocket and did not take the crew's public account.
"Humph! People are not children anymore, so they don't eat snacks! ”
Zu'er stuck out her tongue at Lin Yuan.
...
In this scene, the most important shot is that the spaceship landed and a strong wind blew, blowing the group around. Just as Zu'er's palanquin was about to be blown off the cliff, time suddenly froze.
The sedan chair, the people, the dragonflies flying in the air, the branches and leaves in the wind, etc., all have to stop in the picture.
In the next second, a black figure appeared in the picture like a leisurely stroll, sweeping away a few leaves that were frozen in the air at will.
The moment the leaves were swept away, the black figure turned from virtual to real, and Lin Yuan's face appeared in the camera.
In the end, after Lin Yuan pulled Zu'er's sedan chair back from the cliff, he started with a thought, and the objects that were originally scattered by the wind but suddenly froze suddenly resumed their actions.
However, the wind was strong and gentle.
In this, some things can be filmed in real life, but dragonflies, leaves, sedan chairs, etc., can only use special effects.
Lin Yuan changed his clothes, and the executive director sat in front of the monitor instead of him to shoot this set of shots.
Before shooting this kind of lens, it is generally necessary to turn on the camera and "walk" several times.
Wherever Lin Yuan went, he should raise his hand to "sweep away" the leaves that did not exist, and which posture he should use to pull the "sedan chair" back from the edge of the cliff, all of which needed to be rehearsed several times in advance.
