There is a wharf in the town, which is said to be a period of large-scale production, when the local villagers took stones from the mountains and polished them into 30*50*20 rectangular strips, which were built up one by one and stretched out into the sea.

Now it seems that the workload is huge, and it can't be said to be a miracle, but it will still be admired by future generations, this is the real predecessors planting trees, and future generations enjoying the shade.

The only thing that makes people feel modern is the steel crane that towers over the wharf.

There is a row of two-storey buildings on the side of the pier, with fish shops, restaurants, karaoke, grocery stores, etc., which is the liveliest place in the whole town and the CBD of the town.

It is not news that the crew is filming in a small town, and the local government also attaches great importance to it, and has also formed a special working group to cooperate with the crew's filming work. After all, in recent years, all parts of the country have been engaged in attracting investment, even this remote coastal town has investment indicators, and movies are just the best publicity tools, especially with big stars like Li Tang joining.

Today, the crew started a posture at the pier, attracting many local villagers to watch. Assistant director Niu Le and members of the local working group are directing and guiding the crowd of onlookers, all of whom are free extras.

The lead to the pier is a long downhill cement road, and Li Tang is pushing his bicycle and standing at the top of the slope with Su Yan waiting. When everything was ready, I saw the assistant director Niu Le driving uphill on a scooter, holding a walkie-talkie and exchanging words with the director and cameraman.

"Okay, Mr. Li, it's time to shoot!"

Li Tang threw his long legs and got on the bicycle, Su Yan sat in the back seat very obediently, wrapped his arms around his waist, and leaned slightly sideways against his back.

With Niu Le's "Action!" Li Tang pedaled hard, and the bicycle slid forward quickly along this long downhill. He clenched the brakes in both hands, and when he reached the place where the crowd had gathered, a long series of crisp bells rang, and the bicycle made its way through the crowd quickly.

When passing through the crowd and about to slow down, Li Tang stepped hard and quickly, and rushed towards the pier that stretched towards the sea with Su Yan.

It wasn't until he was about to rush to the end of the dock that Li Tang pinched the hand brake with both hands, and at the same time stretched out one foot to step on the ground to stop the bicycle, and then looked in the direction of the camera lens in the distance.

This is a long shot with a long shot, and the camera is far away, and I saw Wang Xiaoshuai, who was standing next to the camera, raised his hand and stretched out a thumbs up and shouted: "Okay, it's over!" ”

There is a drop of about ten meters from the wharf, almost as high as a three-story building, and the photographer and staff have to pack up the photographic equipment and have to go around the row of façade rooms behind the wharf, which is a distance of three or four hundred meters.

"Teacher Li, I'm sorry in the morning, it's because I didn't think about it properly."

Zhao Luoyao had been following Li Tang before, but now there were only the two of them on the dock, and Su Yan finally found an opportunity to apologize to Li Tang with a sincere face.

Anyone who has done horizontal drifting knows how big the gap is between ordinary young actors and stars, celebrities occasionally joke with you, that is because people are in a good mood and give you face, but you can't know what to do, you have to greet each other with a smile, you have to hold it, you must not go too far, otherwise the star will not only lose the role in the soup, but even other crews will not dare to use it.

After several years of hard work, many people finally get into a special contract, often because they don't grasp this degree, they get carried away, so that years of hard work are ruined.

In recent years, there are many people who want to be actors and dream of stardom, especially after "Huanzhu Gege", which suddenly opened the era of mainland idols, and there are still legends that Xiaoyanzi sat on stage in Shanghai nightclubs back then, and was later admitted to Nortel, and then soared to the sky with "Huanzhu Gege".

In fact, this is simply nonsense, Xiaoyanzi has a cousin who once served as the head of the Shanghai Renyi Actors Troupe, and was the first special actor to play Mayor Chen Yi.

Although he has long since retired, he is an old colleague and old friend of Xie Jin, Jiao Huang, Uncle Lou and other respected artists in Shanghai. Back then, whether Xiaoyanzi went to Xie Jin Art School or was later admitted to Nortel, this cousin was at work.

is still the same sentence, if you want to be famous in the entertainment industry, you must either have a background or a noble person to help you, all of which are indispensable. But people are still more willing to believe in those unrealistic legends, which may be more substitutional.

Not to mention anything else, since the hit of "Huanzhu Gege", the number of art exams every year has increased significantly. Not to mention those extras who work at the gate of Beijing Film Studio every day or hang out in Hengdian, there are many cats and dogs, and they just grab a lot of them casually. No crew will offend a star for an extraor a special party.

And the stars don't have to come forward in person for this kind of thing, they are still smiling, playing the perfect character, just need a word from the assistant, and you have to finish the game.

Su Yan knew that she was a little carried away in the morning, for fear of annoying Li Tang. She didn't deliberately show pity to try to win sympathy, but her attitude was very sincere.

Li Tang didn't pay attention to this kind of thing at all, he had been at the bottom of Hollywood in his previous life, and he had a lot of empathy for the little girl's nervousness at this time. And although the little girl has no acting experience, her attitude is still good.

He smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay." ”

In order to dispel the little girl's concerns, he put on the performance in a relaxed state for a while, and then said: "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, as long as the trick is better than anything." Come on, let's hurry up and get the word right now. ”

Hearing this, Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time heard Li Tang's pun, and felt ashamed in her heart. People don't mean anything, they have to stick it up, and they are seen through by others.

At the same time, I was ashamed and respected Mr. Li, who was a gentleman, not only did not have the same knowledge as himself, but was also willing to help guide him.

Su Yan, who had mixed tastes and a slightly sour nose, forcibly calmed herself down, took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Li Tang, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Teacher Li!" ”

Li Tang was quite useful when he saw this.

Well, there is always a need. Now he is not short of money, women, and houses, so what else do he need?

It is nothing more than the recognition of the audience and the respect of peers.

"Need to prepare?"

"Oh, no. Mr. Li, let's get started. ”

"Good!"

Li Tang doesn't have many lines, most of them are said by Su Yan. Because of Yue Opera since elementary school, Su Yan's voice condition is still good, but she lacks targeted training in her lines. For this reason, Li Tang also took the trouble to help her guide her, until Wang Xiaoshuai and the photographer came over panting with the machine.

"Li Tang, Yanzi, work harder, add a frontal shot."

"No problem!"

Filming is like this, a scene is often composed of multiple shots, and the conditions are a little better, and several machines are shooting at the same time. The conditions are not good, or the crew is just a machine, so they can only shoot over and over again from different angles.

At this time, what is going to be filmed is the front shot of Li Tang riding a bicycle with Su Yan, turning from the front side of the façade room, riding all the way to the dock, from far to near, and finally the bicycle stopped in front of the camera, giving a big close-up of the front wheel of the bicycle.

It took nearly half an hour, and it took three shots of this shot repeatedly to be OK. Li Tang rode a bicycle with Su Yan for several consecutive sprints, and it was inevitable that he was a little out of breath.

"Take a break."

Wang Xiaoshuai leaned up and handed over a cigarette. Although it is the first time to cooperate, he is very satisfied with Li Tang, there is no star shelf, he can come how he comes, the only fly in the ointment may be that the actor himself seems to have a little more ideas.

But this is also very understandable, after all, actors at the level of Li Tang will more or less have some ideas of their own. It's just that he not only failed to convince him, but sometimes felt that the other party's idea seemed to be more reasonable than his own idea, which made Wang Xiaoshuai a little faceless.

"For a while, it's a fixed shot, first a close-up, then a direct panorama, and then a mid-shot......"

Wang Xiaoshuai then took out the storyboard sketch and explained to Li Tang the shooting of the next shot.

I have to say that Wang Xiaoshuai's storyboard is the most exquisite storyboard that Li Tang has seen so far, and the whole composition also reveals a different aesthetic.

Think about it, after all, people have been learning to paint since childhood, and they studied at the High School Affiliated to the Central Academy of Fine Arts before being admitted to Nortel's directing department. His classmates at the High School Attached to the Academy of Fine Arts, and the heroes and heroines Liu Xiaodong and Yu Hong in his debut novel "Days of Winter and Spring", are now not only professors at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, but also well-known painters at home and abroad.

The directors that Li Tang has worked with, Lou Ye, Cheng Er, Zhang Yimou, and now Wang Xiaoshuai, were all born in painting in their early years, and it is precisely because of this that they have a particularly high ability to use color and composition, and the storyboard is not only well drawn, but also painted very clearly, which makes it clear at a glance, which not only allows the photographer to better find the camera position, but also makes the actors have an immersive feeling and it is easier to understand the director's intentions.

One more thing, Section Chief Jia is also from a painting background, and it seems that Jiang Wen is almost meaningless in rumors, and it is said that his storyboard sketches can't be read at all, and it seems that only he can understand it.

"And what about my location?"

Li Tang did not see his position in the drawing.

Wang Xiaoshuai was a little uncertain: "How about symmetrical composition?" ”

Li Tang was stunned, pointed to the position in the corner of the sketch and said, "Then I am in this position?" ”

"Why don't you give it a try?"

"Okay."

The bicycle stops in front of the camera according to the storyboard, and the so-called close-up shot is that the camera passes through the tripod of the bicycle to shoot Su Yan's footsteps, and then the camera slowly pulls back to show the entire dock and the background of the pier.

It should be said that Wang Xiaoshuai's choice of this scene is very good, in addition to the wharf at the foot that is piled up with stones with a sense of age, there are two small islands in the distance, one left and one right form a haven, and there are still a lot of reefs exposed to the sea not far from the shore.

The large iron fishing boats anchored side by side in the middle of the sheltered harbor, and only a few small wooden fishing boats were docked on the shore. Today's wind and waves are a bit strong, and the small fish boat is rising and falling with the waves.

The water on the shore seems to be quite clear, but when you look at it, it is gray, and there is no blue water as you imagined. And there are no sandy beaches here, the sea recedes, and all that remains is muddy tidal flats.

Li Tang walked to the feet on the side of the dock and looked at the sea in the distance. The second brother in the script was full of worries at this time, but his son came back but couldn't see him, looking at the sea and thinking about his thoughts.

Just standing there seemed to lack a sense of atmosphere, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one on fire. On the other side, Su Yan was pacing, he could only stand, in the jargon, this is called movement and stillness.

But just standing like this seems too conventional. Actors, they always want to perform something different.

He simply crouched down again.

This squatting made Wang Xiaoshuai, who was watching his every move in the frame of the camera, his eyes light up, every movement and stillness, one high and one low, the sense of contrast came out at once, and the whole picture suddenly came alive.

However, what he didn't expect was that Li Tang seemed to feel that squatting was not enough, adjusted a few squatting postures, and finally chose to put his center of gravity on his left foot, his left hand supported his chin on his left leg, his whole body leaned slightly to the left, his right foot leaned out a little half a step without difficulty, and he took a puff from time to time with a cigarette in his right hand.

In fact, Li Tang didn't think much about it, but he just felt that since squatting was thinking about his heart, he must find a comfortable squatting posture so that his feet would not be numb. But at this time, his back was actually a little more enchanting in the frame.

This made Wang Xiaoshuai overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Li Tang, keep this posture!" ”

As he spoke, he called Su Yan over, pointed to the position in front of the bicycle and said, "Yanzi, you are walking around here...... Relax a little...... Yes, let's go through it first...... Okay, let's start talking. ”

Su Yan first walked into the camera slowly with her hands behind her back, walked to the edge of the dock, looked at the gray sea in front of her and sighed, looked back at Li Tang who was squatting there, slowly turned around, put her hands in the pockets of her jeans, walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Li Tang's hand holding the cigarette just reached to his mouth and paused, but he took a puff of cigarette first, and then said lazily: "Don't you want to see the sea?" ”

Although Su Yan turned her back to the camera, she still frowned at the sea and the small island not far away, shook her head and said, "This sea ...... It's not pretty! ”

Hey, Wang Xiaoshuai was a little surprised, because the pause in the middle of Su Yan's line just now was particularly good, highlighting the entanglement, contradictions, and subtlety of the characters.

Li Tang put the cigarette in his mouth and slowly stood up. I was thinking about what was going on just now, and when I was interrupted, my instinctive reaction was to stand up, move my legs that had been numb after squatting for a long time, put my hands in my pockets, took a deep breath of smoke, and let the sea breeze blow away the exhaled smoke.

At this time, Su Yan tilted her head to look at him, and said with curiosity on her face: "Can I ask you a question?" You...... Uh, why are you smuggling? ”

As a small-town celebrity who smuggled three times before and after, successfully smuggled to the United States for the last time, and stayed in the United States for two years, he will never avoid the topic of smuggling.

Originally, Li Tang still had two lines here, and he said in a very impatient tone: "Why are you asking this?" "No reason! ”

But at this time, he felt that the lines were a little redundant, and he didn't react to Su Yan's question, as if he hadn't heard it. Then he raised his hand to hold the cigarette in his mouth, took another deep breath, and casually threw the cigarette into the sea, and then turned around and walked away, without any expression during the whole process, and did not look at Su Yan, but when he turned to face the camera, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"Good!"

Wang Xiaoshuai couldn't help but applaud loudly, and then hurriedly urged the staff next to him: "Everyone hurry up, all departments are ready, and we will shoot immediately!" ”

Although this scene just now is just a rehearsal, in his opinion, it is infinitely close to perfection, take advantage of the current heat, hurry up and shoot quickly, lest the actor's state decline for a while, and the effect of the rehearsal just now cannot be filmed.

Today's code words are a little tangled.,It's been so much from the afternoon to now.,It seems that you need to adjust your state.。
