"Director Qin, that piece of your neck is ......"

Ma Debiao saw the band-aid on Qin Muchu's neck at a glance.

"Mosquito bites."

"Mosquito bites?"

Ma Debiao was stunned, but he didn't expect this answer:

"Director Qin, the mosquito bite has to rub the flower dew, your band-aid ......"

"The mosquito has a big mouth, sucks hard, and has a big wound, so use a band-aid."

The corners of Ma Debiao's mouth twitched, is it a mosquito that sucks you? I'm afraid it's not a vampire, right?

If he couldn't hear that such nonsense was fake, it would have been in vain for so many years, knowing that Qin Muchu didn't want to say it, he left with a haha.

Early in the morning, from the hotel to the set, Qin Muchu didn't remember how many crew members he met who cared about what was wrong with his neck.

And the culprit of all this is Yang Mi, who is snickering.

"Who told you to have to be skinned last night, you deserve it."

Yang Mi's expression was solemn when she saw her boyfriend looking over, but she couldn't hold back her laughter after less than two seconds.

Qin Muchu gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart.

He has done good deeds and accumulated virtue in his two lives, and he has never planted strawberries for girls, but he didn't expect to be planted by girls now.

It stands to reason that the act of planting strawberries is a way for couples to express their love and leave a mark of love on each other.

But when he wanted to plant Yang Mi, Yang Mi avoided it directly, and laughed at it:

"What a pain, what a strawberry, this is obviously bruising, I'm not stupid, come over and fall over the shoulder again!"

Okay, you wait.

Qin Muchu narrowed his eyes, and turned around to plant strawberries on your moon murder!

……

When I arrived at the "Father's House", a large group of people were busy inside.

In addition to the prop masters, lighting artists, and photographers arranging the scene, actors You Benzhuan, Gong Li, and Chen Daomin are already sitting on the sofa holding the script and playing, and they are all wearing makeup, and it is estimated that they have been here for a while.

The three of them also saw Qin Muchu and Yang Mi, and Old Man You didn't know Yang Mi.

"Doll, who is this female doll?"

Old Man You asked with a smile.

"Old man, this is my girlfriend Yang Mi, who plays your youngest daughter and young nurse in the movie."

Qin Muchu introduced.

Yang Mi also played a role in the movie, there were not many scenes, a total of three scenes, and there may only be less than three minutes of footage after editing.

"Grandpa You, hello, I'm Yang Mi, I especially liked to watch your performance when I was a child, and once I didn't want to sleep when I watched it late, and I was beaten by my mother."

Yang Mi respectfully bowed to the old man You sitting next to the sofa, and wiped honey with her mouth.

Hearing this, the old man You's heart was full of joy, a smile bloomed on the old man's face, and he said lovingly:

"Okay, good, you doll is a blessed one, and you will definitely have a good life in the future."

As he spoke, he raised the fan in his hand and fanned Yang Mi:

"Grandpa, this fan can't be wrong, haha."

Everyone at the scene will smile.

Jigong is to use his magic power to realize his wish by fanning a fan.

Yang Mi turned to greet Gong Li and Chen Daomin, Chen Daomin had worked with her before, and she was quite familiar.

It's the first time Gong Li and Yang Mi have met, but they have heard of it and know that it is Qin Muchu's girlfriend, so their attitude is quite kind.

It's just a pity that the "Qin Zeng" CP she knocked at the beginning didn't succeed, and she still occasionally flips it out to see "Star You".

Leaving Yang Mi and a few people to speak, Qin Muchu went to arrange the filming matters, and there were still some things on the scene that he needed to decide personally.

About half an hour passed like this, and it was eight o'clock in the morning.

"All departments are ready, 3, 2, 1, start shooting!"

In the next room on the set, Qin Muchu sat in front of the monitor, holding the walkie-talkie, and giving instructions.

Behind him stood Chen Daomin and Yang Mi.

There are no two of them in this scene, it is the rivalry between Old Man You and Gong Li.

The content is simple.

Gong Li's daughter hurries back home and asks her father why he drove the nurse away, who says the nurse stole her watch.

The door to the room is open in the monitor.

Gong Li walked in in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted in various rooms and looked for his father.

Eventually, Mr. You was found listening to the radio in a room.

The sound of the radio was loud, and the old man sat on the chaise longue, his eyes closed, and his fingers rhythmically tapped on the armrests to the sound of the opera.

"You're here."

Gong Li's voice made the old man open his eyes, he turned off the radio, and the room instantly fell silent.

"What are you doing here?"

Gong Li didn't answer immediately, but walked to the window and pulled the half-open curtains back to light up the dimly lit room.

Only then did he start to turn around and say his lines.

Qin Muchu's eyes lit up.

Pulling the curtains is a detail, it is not written in the script, it belongs to Gong Li's self-creation, but this small act is full of life and is very natural.

But he still sighed in his heart.

This scene can't get over it.

However, he did not shout to stop, but continued to watch the two perform.

It's just the first scene, and it can be corrected after the performance.

Then, there was a quick and tight conversation, and there were no mistakes here.

Old Man You has taken all the details into account and behaved quite perfectly.

From being at a loss at the beginning of being questioned by her daughter, to gradually becoming impatient, and even because the conversation was too fast, her chest became undulating.

This short scene alone has created the image of an old man who is old but has a very strong and stubborn personality.

"OK, card!"

Qin Muchu shouted to stop, but didn't say "over".

Just as he was about to get up and go to tell Gong Li about the problem, he heard Gong Li's voice on the walkie-talkie:

"Director Qin, is it a problem with pulling the curtains? Just now the old man said that I pulled it too lightly, and I should pull the curtain open with both hands, which I think makes sense. ”

Qin Muchu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile:

"The old man is right, Sister Gong Li, you are going to question the old man why he drove away a nurse again, so the force when pulling the curtains is a reflection of your inner emotions, and there is nothing wrong with anything else.

Then let's shoot again, this time from the moment you enter the room. ”

Soon the second one will start shooting.

Originally, this only needed Gong Li to adjust the details of pulling the curtains, but the old man gave Qin Muchu a surprise.

After Gong used his strength to open the curtains, the old man still said the same lines as before.

But the rhythm has changed, or the point of change of attitude has changed.

The process from confusion to impatience is shortened.

Because of his daughter's action of pulling the curtains, he felt that his daughter was coming with "hostility".

"I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone's help!"

The old man put down this sentence, got up and walked out of the room directly.

However, Gong Li's expression changed from a tough question at the beginning, and he instantly lowered his head and became sad.

"Card, over!"

Qin Muchu shouted into the walkie-talkie.

The content of this scene is very simple, but it is not easy to act well, because many scenes of Old Man You are close-up with his face on his face, grabbing his micro-expressions and eyes.

Not many actors can withstand such a test, even Gong Li and Qin Muchu don't dare to use so many long close-ups to shoot her face.

And Mr. You's performance can really say that every look, every subtle change in the face, and even every wrinkle reveal acting skills.

It's not an exaggeration, it's a real story.

And this state is not occasional, it is the regular state of Old Man You.

For a whole day, except for a few mistakes in position that led to NG, Old Man You never let Qin Muchu shout "card" because his acting skills were not up to standard.

Even those few mistakes were not really mistakes, but the place where Qin Muchu chose the best lighting spot.

"Well acted!"

At the end of the day, Gong Li said something to Qin Muchu.

And Chen Daomin also played three rival scenes with the old man today, not as direct as Gong Lina, but he couldn't help but praise:

"Acting with the old man, no matter how it breaks out, the old man is like an endless sea, he can tolerate it, he can bear it, and then he can show you a better one."

Not only the two of them, but Qin Muchu was also subdued by the old man.

The movie has a total of 212 scenes, and it was originally planned to shoot 8 scenes a day, and it will be filmed in about a month.

This progress is not slow, and a normal movie can shoot 6 scenes a day, which is considered fast.

Because every time you shoot, you have to mix all kinds of props, camera layout, lighting color, etc., and once you go to NG, you will do it again.

Normally, it takes at least an hour to shoot a scene.

But now, in just one day, he filmed 15 scenes, which is still because he is worried that Old Man You will not be able to bear it, so he will take a break from filming for a while, and then finish work early, otherwise there will be more.

This kind of efficiency completely exceeded Qin Muchu's expectations, and it also made him realize one thing - he had to contact the remaining two actors and advance the time to join the group.

Originally, the assistant director could do it, but after all, he temporarily changed the time, although it was only a few days in advance, but he was not allowed to have a notice during this time, so he still called in person to show respect.

……

After the play, Qin Muchu did not go to the hotel, but went back to the courtyard.

If you shoot 8 shows a day as originally planned, there is too little material and there is no need to edit.

But 15 shows is different, enough for him to edit while shooting.

The post-production of the film is not difficult, the shooting is all live recording, and there are no special effects, the only thing that consumes time is editing and soundtrack.

He plans to edit the day's shoots every day, and then send the parts that need a soundtrack to the company's soundtrack.

In this case, although it can't be made just after the movie is made, it will not be a few days away.

If everything goes well, Qin Muchu estimates that he will be able to complete the entire production of the movie in twenty days.

In this case, you will be able to register before the registration deadline of the Venice Film Festival on July 15.

Lao Mouzi asked him if he wanted to win the award with this film, but he really didn't have this idea.

If you really want to win the prize, you will definitely not start it until June 20th.

Because if the film is filmed and produced according to the original plan, the film will definitely be finished after July 15, and it will be too late to participate in Venice.

But now that the conditions allow, Qin Muchu doesn't mind sending the movie to Venice.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin were not there, and it was estimated that it was because Yang Mi and Qin Muchu were gone, and they went back to their homes.

"I'm going to get some noodles."

"Forehead ......"

Seeing Qin Muchu's distrustful look, Yang Mi said angrily:

"I'll still order the noodles, okay! Wait, I'll kill you in a moment! ”

With that, he strode to the kitchen, ready to show off his skills.

And the corners of Qin Muchu's mouth twitched, the state of his girlfriend last time almost made the world lose an excellent young director.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, he hurriedly shouted:

"Just serve the clear soup noodles, don't season it, I'll add salt."

Didn't reply.

Qin Muchu didn't know if Yang Mi heard it or not, shook his head and walked towards the west wing, imported the materials into the computer, and began to edit the movie.

15 scenes, each about three minutes, a total duration of about an hour.

After editing, an hour was reduced to 6 minutes.

That's the result of a day.

Press the save button, copy another copy to the USB flash drive, and today's work is done.

I got up and stretched, and looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock.

Rubbing his sour eyes from watching the screen for a long time, he walked out of the West Wing and towards his room.

Yang Mi hadn't slept yet, she was leaning on the head of the bed looking at something, so focused that she didn't even notice Qin Muchu getting close.

"What's wrong? Still not sleeping so late to read the script? ”

Qin Muchu sat on the bed and touched his girlfriend's head.

Yang Mi naturally leaned into Qin Muchu's arms:

"I can't understand the relationship between the characters and time in it, it's too confusing......"

Qin Muchu smiled:

"It's normal to be confused."

In this movie, except for the father played by Mr. You, the rest of the roles are played by several actors.

For example, the daughter played by Gong Li, there is another actor who also plays this role, and this actor not only plays the "daughter", but also plays two nurses respectively, that is to say, a total of three roles.

This is the case because the film is shot from the perspective of an Alzheimer's patient.

Alzheimer's disease, commonly known as Alzheimer's disease, is more common in people over 65 years old, the cause is unknown, and there is no cure.

Also...... The reason for the death of the old dean.

There are many movies about Alzheimer's disease, but they are all from an objective point of view, in the world of "normal people", filming "abnormal old people", and the old people belong to the observed.

So the logic is clear.

And Qin Muchu's angle of shooting is "the sick old man", and the world in the movie is the "world of the sick old man".

When an elderly person is sick, he will not be able to recognize his daughter.

In the normal world, the daughter has not changed, she is still her, but the old man can't recognize it.

And in the world of the elderly, it is because his daughter's face has become someone else's face that he can't recognize it, so he will say "You are not my daughter".

In his world, time, space, and people are all changing in a form that he does not understand.

Maybe one second I just had breakfast in the morning, and the next second I arrived at the evening meal; He thought he was living at home, but in fact he had already changed the environment, but he didn't distinguish it; He thought that the person in front of him was his relative, but in fact it was the caregiver who took care of him.

He is firmly trapped in his own time and cannot break free, just like the name of the movie - "Father Trapped in Time".
