Chapter 55: Finishing into the group

Zhejiang Road and Bridge, the old bottom is called the old garbage bridge, because next to the bridge is the garbage wharf. From the outside, the shape of the steel frame structure resembles the Waibaidu Bridge on the Bund.

In fact, the miniature Waibaidu Bridge built in Shanghai Film and Television Park is not so much the Waibaidu Bridge as it is more like Zhejiang Road and Bridge.

The last time he had morning tea, Li Tang just casually mentioned "Zhejiang Road and Bridge" to Cheng Er. It seems that this guy really came to the bridge to squat, probably thinking that this bridge is really Shanghai, or he wants to shoot the more famous Waibaidu Bridge, but because the traffic flow there is too large, he chose the Zhejiang Road and Bridge with sparse traffic in the second place.

On the morning of this day, the crew set up a position at Zhejiang Road and Bridge. It's still relatively rare to make movies in these years, especially a group of young people who are tinkering here, and there are a lot of onlookers.

Fortunately, the local street heard that a group of Nortel students wanted to make a short film about Shanghai, and they were quite cooperative, and specially sent a team of urban management assistants to help maintain order.

The bridge deck has been emptied to ensure that there will be no onlookers in the camera, and everything is ready.

"Li Le, how much film is left?" Cheng Er suddenly turned back and asked the photographer.

"Two more."

"Let's take a real shot."

"Real shot...... Uh, good! ”

Photographer Li Le was excited.

A Kodak 35mm film is 400 feet long, about 122 meters, according to the conventional 24fps, it can shoot for about four minutes, and the price of a Kodak 35mm is 1500 yuan.

Film is 100 minutes long, and the cost-effectiveness ratio of domestic films is about 1:8-1:15, that is, 800-1500 minutes of material need to be filmed, so the cost of light film is as high as about 300,000 to 500,000.

The reason why Hu Tian's profession in the short film is a photo studio owner is because this is Kodak's product placement, for which Kodak sponsored 20 copies of 35mm film.

Twenty copies, in principle, can shoot for 80 minutes, and the cost-effectiveness ratio is only 1:2 for a pitiful baba. In addition to careful planning for each shooting, the actors also need to rehearse first, and everything is OK before the official shooting, Li Le feels that he has no place to use it.

"Is it a real shot? Okay, no problem. ”

The makeup artist is spraying powder on Li Tang's bald head, the sun is very good today, the light is very sufficient, and the powder is sprinkled to prevent the bald head from flashing oil.

"All departments ready!"

“Action!”

The camera shows an arched bridge deck, and with a sound of footsteps, a bald head emerges from the bridge deck, then the entire face, and then the upper body. I saw him wearing a short black coat and carrying a big green bag, looking nervous, walking in a hurry, and looking back from time to time, for fear that someone would catch up.

When Li Tang fully stepped on the bridge and was sure that no one was chasing after him, he suddenly laughed, laughing from the bottom of his heart, this was the first time he laughed in all the shots he took.

There is the pride of escaping, and the helplessness of self-comfort.

“Cut!”

Cheng Er shouted to stop.

Everyone's eyes were on him, and after waiting for about half a minute, Cheng Er finally shouted: "It's over!" ”

A group of young students couldn't wait to cheer, only the photographer Li Le was still unsatisfied: "One is over?" ”

So far, all the scenes of "Criminals" have been completed!

After being busy for more than half a month, everyone was very excited to witness the birth of the work.

"Brother Li, you acted great!"

"Brother Li, thank you!"

"Brother Li, I will always contact you in the future, and I will definitely call when I go to the capital!"

"Brother Li......"

Finishing means separation, and these young people who are about to step out of school are all very emotional and naïve, and many of them show their true feelings.

Only Cheng Er stood silently on the side of the road alone, he is undoubtedly the core of this team, but because of his personality, the big guys are not surprised.

"Li Le, wait a minute, I want to shoot another shot."

He suddenly called out to Li Le, who was packing up his equipment.

"What shot?"

Li Le ran over with the machine on his shoulder, and reminded at the same time: "There is only one film left." ”

"That's enough."

Cheng Er seemed to have a sudden inspiration, and shouted to Li Tang again: "Brother Li, please make up for a shot." ”

"Shoot what?"

"Just the nursery rhyme you hummed last time, I want to shoot it again." Cheng Erdao.

"Just shoot here?"

Cheng Er looked at it and said, "Just shoot on the side of the road." ”

Li Tang doesn't know what his intentions are, but when filming, the actors have to revolve around the director's baton.

He asked, "What is the state, is there a specific situation?" ”

As a result, Cheng Er shook his head and said directly: "Whatever!" ”

“……”

Since the director said whatever, then it's okay to be casual.

Li Tang stood on the side of the road, watching Cheng Er discuss with photographer Li Le, and the final result of the discussion was very simple, that is, he wanted a close-up of Li Tang's face.

“Action!”

Li Tang was just facing the camera, expressionless, and his tone seemed lazy and weak: "Pull it out, pull it out, pull it out, you can't pull it out." The old man called the old woman to come and help him pluck the turnips. The old woman is called Little Granddaughter, and the little granddaughter is called Little Yellow Dog......"

……

"Sister An, change it for me in a while." Li Tang said.

From Shanghai to Hengdian, except for the section of the road to Hangzhou, which is a high-speed, the rest of the distance is a national highway. Naian drove an imported Nissan Blue Bird, don't look at her as a woman, she drove very fiercely, especially on the highway, the speed often soared to more than 14 yards, and Li Tangxin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hung high. No, as soon as he got off the highway, he took the initiative to ask for help, and just drove a third of the way, and the national highway was mixed with people and vehicles, which was even more dangerous.

Ney Ann smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not tired." You squint for a while, maybe when you wake up, we'll already be in Hengdian. ”

"I can't sleep."

Sitting in her car, it was strange that Li Tang could sleep.

"If you can't sleep, talk to me, so that I don't doze off while driving."

"Uh......"

Li Tang was really speechless.

Ney glanced at him and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm kidding you." You can rest assured that I drove this car back from the capital alone. ”

Only then did Li Tang remember that the car was hanging in the capital to take pictures, and his hanging heart was slightly fixed.

Originally, he wanted to report to the crew on his own, but Ney An had to send it, saying that he wanted to help him strengthen his momentum. It's a joke, but it's a good idea.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see the phenomenon of high and low in the circle, and it is easy for you to be excluded if you have no background. Especially now, many Hong Kong and Taiwan-led crews, Hong Kong and Taiwan artists and mainland actors are treated differently very seriously, and unpleasant things happen from time to time.

In this regard, the crew of "Returning the Pearl" has done a relatively good job, on the one hand, Aunt Qiong Yu has cooperated with the mainland for filming for a long time, and the selection of actors is also eclectic, and mainland actors can still be the protagonists; On the other hand, most of the main creators behind the scenes are also from the mainland, and there are many people with great power, even if someone wants to be a demon, they don't dare to put it on the bright side.

The crew they are going to today may not be sure, after all, most of the investors and the main creative team are from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Naian is not at ease. After all, she is a little well-known, and her family background is okay, and she, the boss and agent, personally accompanies Li Tang into the group, which is still a bit weighty.
