Chapter 339: One More Article

Zhao Luoyao came over very early, probably to ask Li Tang to get up, but she came a little late, and Li Tang had already gotten up at this time and went out for a run. When he came back, he found Xiao Zhao waiting at the door.

Although she had the room card in her hand, she didn't go in by herself. Or maybe I opened the door and went in before, and found that there was no one in the house, so I came out again, deliberately waiting outside to make a good impression on the boss.

But no matter what, at least it shows that Xiao Zhao is still very measured.

As for the ex-girlfriend, I went back to my room after I had a good time last night. Some things can't be too open, even if everyone knows it, we must know how to be restrained.

What is the saying? It roughly means "Show affection, die fast!" ”

Just like this morning, if it was broken by Li Tang's new assistant Zhao Luoyao, it would be a little embarrassing.

Xiao Zhao is quite competent as an assistant, he doesn't need Li Tang's orders at all, while he is taking a bath, he has already gone downstairs to bring breakfast, which he usually likes to eat, no need to ask, it must be that Zeng Jia has explained his life, work and eating habits to Xiao Zhao before.

Seeing Li Tang sweating back in sports shorts and hurdle vest before, Xiao Zhao even wondered in his heart whether to accompany his boss to go for a morning run every morning in the future.

Just a little gauge of her strength and perseverance, she immediately dispelled this idea.

After eating breakfast and preparing to go out, Xiao Zhao, like other assistants, carried a big bag, which contained dry tissues, wet wipes, alcohol pads, post-it notes, markers, dental floss, mouthwash, mosquito repellent, small fans, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, small table lamps, sunscreen spray, iodophor cotton swabs, lip balm, makeup remover, and a lot of other things, and even a first-aid kit containing stomach medicine, pharyngitis tablets, pain relievers, bruising drugs and other commonly used medicines.

What is a profession, this is called a profession! Everything you need and be prepared.

Li Tang usually carries a bag when he goes out to the scene, with a script and a water cup in it, and when the weather is cold, he will soak some cordyceps sinensis or wolfberry in the cup, after all, he is young and does not take supplements, and he is sad when he is old.

It's too early to get a good time. It's just that Lan Jing's side is too hot now, and it's easy to get spoiled after soaking for a day, so I casually brought two bottles of water.

Li Tang doesn't pay much attention to drinking water, any Nongfu Spring, Robust's, Wahaha, as long as the hotel or crew has it, just take two bottles. However, he has also seen those who pretend to be forced, and all domestic mineral water is touched, and he specializes in drinking imported French Evian water, which costs more than ten or twenty yuan a bottle, and he is really rich and panicked.

If you have the ability, you simply don't eat, even if the food made in a five-star hotel is made with tap water.

"Teacher Li, do you think you need to bring something?" Before going out, Xiao Zhao asked again.

"It's gone."

In fact, when Li Tang didn't have an assistant by his side before, he just packed this little thing in his bag, even if he didn't bring anything, get over it. So sometimes he also thinks that the so-called celebrities are playing big names, and all kinds of stinky and exquisite, a large part of the reason is that the people around him have made it out.

I went out very early today, and he was the only main actor, Xiao Zhang, his ex-girlfriend, Xiao Benzi, including Mr. Feng Yuanzheng, who just arrived last night, some of their plays are scheduled in the afternoon, and some are tomorrow's plays.

The scene at the station is on Li Tang, the main actors are Zhang Ziyi and his ex-girlfriend, and the little book and teacher Feng Yuanzheng are more background boards.

At half past seven, Li Tang arrived at Pukou Railway Station half an hour earlier than expected at eight o'clock. Generally, it is his habit to arrive at the shooting site 20 minutes or half an hour early, not to highlight how dedicated he is, but to have more time to make him more relaxed.

The on-site staff and more than 100 extras have arrived early, put on makeup, changed clothes, and rehearsed under the command of the assistant director to familiarize themselves with their respective positions. After all, it's still cooler in the morning.

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Wang, morning!"

Li Tang got into the temporary dressing room at the station, and there were two people in it who were putting on makeup.

These two are actors from Jiangsu Renyi, who play the killer and the members of the resistance group who connect with Situ respectively, and they all belong to the role of a dragon.

These two are not very old, about 30 years old, one is from a serious class of Chinese opera, and the other is from a Jiangsu art student class.

One more thing to say here, in fact, each province had a people's art theater at the earliest, referred to as "a certain art". For example, Ge Zhijun in "The Story of Escort", who collaborated with Li Tang before, is Shaanxi Renyi, such as the Shanghai Drama Center where Li Tang now works, which was formerly formed by the merger of Shanghai Renyi and Shanghai Youth Repertory Theatre.

It's just that later, with the gradual decline of the human arts in various provinces, some merged, and some died out, while the human arts in the capital flourished for a long time, and finally "human art" almost became the exclusive name of their family.

There's no way, who calls it someone's capital! At the beginning, the positioning of the capital was a political and cultural center, and after entering the new century, it gradually developed into a political, cultural and economic center. Instead of Shanghai, which used to be called an economic and cultural center, and now it has become an economic and financial center, the word culture is missing.

In contrast, Jiangsu Renyi is not bad, after all, it is located in Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the cultural heritage is still there. Their current situation is similar to that of the Shanghai Drama Center, most of the actors receive dead salaries, and then when the unit has performance tasks, they have rehearsal and performance subsidies, and when they have nothing to do, they can go out to film, shoot commercials, dubbing, or act in sketches or something, and earn some extra money.

This is the norm for most actors, after all, it is very rare to become a star.

"Teacher Li, morning!"

These two are also very polite, everyone met yesterday.

Like them, the jargon is called "Da Te", which is a special actor with a relatively heavy role, filming for a day or two, and the salary is about one or two thousand yuan. Li Tang has not crossed yet, and the original body often does this kind of work.

Makeup is also simple, because the makeup is set beforehand, including the costumes are set in advance, mainly to apply some oil paint on the face to prevent reflection. In addition, Li Tang has undergone a winter of maintenance, and most of the previously filmed "Subway to Spring" are indoor dramas, which are relatively white, and the makeup artist also specially painted some paint on his face, which is a little darker than the original, and looks more suitable for the characteristics of the characters of that era.

The soft cotton white shirt is not the pure white of the moment, but more like the kind that has been slightly yellowed after wearing it for a long time, and a slender black tie hangs loosely around the neck.

The weather was hot, and the coat could not be worn at all, and a light gray suit was held in his hand.

arrived at the scene, under the command of the executive director, Li Tang and the two actors of Jiangsu Renyi walked through the play. Lou Ye also rarely appeared at the scene from beginning to end.

After a toss, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning. Filming is like this, there is not much time left for the actors to film, most of the time is spent making various preparations, especially in a crowded scene like today, with more than 100 extras, the scene is chaotic and prone to mistakes.

"OK, that's it."

Since the beginning of the morning, the executive director has been sweating profusely, and the dirty white T-shirt on his body is soaked.

And Lou Ye, who is always wearing a black round-neck T-shirt, nodded calmly, then smiled and said hard work to Li Tang and the two Jiangsu Renyi actors, turned around and returned to a small tent temporarily set up in the corner of the station, where monitors and fans were placed, which was his command center.

"Departments are ready to ......"

This preparation alone took about ten minutes, and dozens of group performers needed to be on camera, some pretending to be passengers in the carriage, carrying large bags of luggage, and some pedestrians passing by outside the carriage.

There are two cameras on the scene, one is set up outside the carriage to fix the lens, and the other is in the carriage, which is the most commonly used handheld lens in Lou Ye's films, and the director of photography Wang Yu is in charge of the camera.

And then there's the lights, the radio, and all that.

Li Tang also got into the carriage at this time with one of the actors who played the killer, Jiangsu Renyi, as it was face-to-face, the killer was facing the handheld camera, although Li Tang was facing back, he was about to poke his head out of the car window, just facing the fixed camera outside. In this way, the two have a frontal shot and a back-to-back camera in their respective positions, which is also the most basic way to shoot in film and television shooting.

In fact, filming is simple to say, but it is very cumbersome when it comes to actual shooting, and it may be that twenty years later, those who are often engaged in short video shooting must have a deep understanding.

The actors are in place and everything is ready.

With a "pop", the scene notes hit the board, and the executive director stood on a high place, holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "Begin!" ”

The group performers who were still holding their breath and standing in place just now were like sheep that had opened the gates, instantly filling the entire platform with all kinds of noisy sounds. Several specially selected ensembles walked past the fixed camera outside the carriage in twos and threes.

There is a staff member releasing dry ice under the carriage, and an industrial electric fan is blowing violently in front of it, creating the scene of the train just entering the station to release steam.

Li Tang looked through the window at this time, and put his hands on the window frame. His hands, including his neck, were painted in the same shade as his face. Although his hands are slightly dark in the shot, because his fingers are slender and thin, and the bones are distinct, he looks good in the shot.

And his hairstyle is a typical Shanghai Xiaokai style of that era, with straight lines, in Shanghainese, it is "the head is clear".

The fixed position outside the carriage gives a close-up shot, that is, the entire train window fills the whole picture. I saw him first poke his head out, look left and right, and then simply poke his entire upper body out of the car window.

As the camera pushes forward, giving a close-up of his face, you can clearly see the eagerness and longing in his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he obviously found his target, and saw him hurriedly retract his body.

This scene depicts Situ played by Li Tang who has just returned from a business trip, and his girlfriend Yiling comes to pick him up at the train station.

The reason why Li Tang dealt with such urgency and eagerness was, on the one hand, to show the love between the two through this shot, highlighting the anger and panic of the characters who ran through the whole movie because of Yiling's murder.

On the other hand, it is actually very easy to understand, that is, on the eve of Situ's business trip in the plot, unspeakable things happened to him and Yiling on that rainy night. Then the next morning, he hurriedly embarked on a business trip, at that time the business trip was certainly not a day or two, maybe as short as a week, as long as ten days and half a month.

You think that a young man and woman, especially for a man, have their first taste of the forbidden fruit with their beloved, this kind of thing is very addictive. As a result, after just one trip, I have been on a business trip for such a long time, and anyone who has experienced the urgency of it will feel the same way. Especially when I saw my girlfriend coming to pick up the station, the eagerness can be described as desperate.

At the same time, hand-held cameras in the carriage were also being filmed at the same time. Wang Yu's hand is very steady, the camera does not shake at all, and in the medium shot, you can only see one of Li Tang's backs, and what appears in the camera is the killer played by the Jiangsu actor who is sitting opposite Li Tang.

Compared with Li Tang's eagerness, the killer seemed very calm, holding a book in his hand and reading it. The killer reads books, which can be understood as a kind of identity cover-up, and at the same time connects killing people with reading books, forming a sense of contrast in film and television creation.

It wasn't until the train came to a stop that he unhurriedly rolled up his book, stood up and put it in the pocket of his coat hanging behind his seat. The camera then focuses on the two identical light gray suits hanging from the wall of the carriage behind the seat.

Immediately afterwards, Li Tang was seen shrinking back, and the killer also stood up and looked out of the car window at this time. Killers, on the one hand, are looking for people who are looking for joints, and at the same time, they have to observe whether there is any danger outside.

At this time, Li Tang's eyes were always staring out of the car window, and as the target outside the car window moved, the sight of his eyes was also moving, and his face showed a hint of pride while showing a hint of joy. Probably I found my girlfriend, but my girlfriend didn't find out and was desperately looking for herself in the crowd.

Love is mutual, and so are feelings. But when he saw his girlfriend's eagerness, he was quite empathetic, and he was also happy to see the real reaction behind his girlfriend's reserve.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the gray suit from the wall of the carriage opposite his seat and put it on, because his attention was always outside the carriage, and he didn't realize that the dress was not his own.

There is a detail here, that is, the same gray suit, Li Tang mistakenly took the killer's suit, but did not notice that there was a black top hat on the hook of the suit.

Killers need to hide their eyes, and a top hat that covers their face is standard.

Although the camera is only a flash, it shows the care of the details.

Li Tang hurriedly put on his clothes, then took a heavy box from the luggage rack and quickly walked out of the compartment door.

At this time, the killer observed the situation outside the carriage through the window, felt that there was no danger, and turned around with a relaxed expression, just as he was about to get his clothes, he found that his clothes on the hook had disappeared, and the top hat was left, his face suddenly became solemn and flustered, and he quickly looked around, but did not find it.

At the same time, Wang Yu held the camera in a subjective way, and the camera moved to the side, and there was an identical light gray suit.

At this point, there was no need for the director to shout to stop, Wang Yu shouted directly: "Okay, stop!" ”

Because this is a paragraph, you have to adjust the camera position after shooting.

In the tent in the corner of the station, the electric fan was whirring, and the air circulation in the tent was not good, and the heat emitted by the machine made the temperature very high.

And Lou Ye fully explained what it means to be calm and naturally cool, with no sweat on his face, and he was wearing headphones and staring at the screen of the monitor.

Because it was a two-camera shooting, he simultaneously watched the content of the fixed camera outside the carriage, and then watched the content of the handheld camera in the carriage again.

To be honest, in the shot just taken, Li Tang's performance is almost impeccable in terms of eyes, expressions, and body movements. In addition, the performance of the special actor sitting across from him was very good and very stable. In addition, there is no mistake with the group performance that appeared in the shot, it should be said that this is a perfect shot.

It's just that Lou Ye seems to be a little unwilling, he pondered for a while, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Very good, let's work hard, let's do it again!" ”
