Chapter 82: Overcoming Difficulties
At half past nine o'clock in the morning of March 20, 2001, the temperature in Harbin City was four degrees.
On the set of "Winter Sonata" in the suburbs, everyone is dressed in down jackets and they are ready to shoot the next scene.
The plot of this scene is the third encounter between the male and female protagonists, and at this time, the male protagonist is amnesiac and still doesn't remember the past.
The female protagonist thinks that the male protagonist is a person who looks very much like her first love.
She was determined to forget her first love and live a good life with her fiancΓ©, but the two met at work.
That is, in the ski resort in the suburbs, the male protagonist commanded the workers to carry out the transformation, and the female protagonist couldn't help but pick up the camera and take pictures secretly.
The heroine's emotional change is mainly due to a panicked expression after the candid shooting was discovered.
This scene is not difficult, Yan Danchen should be able to deal with it.
For the crew, the difficulty is how to shoot beautifully.
There are about 80,000 snow guns, and the crew rented two.
At this time, the two snow guns start at the same time, and the flying snowflakes shoot out, fly high in the air, and then fall one after another.
Li Shengyao and Liu Sheng stand behind the camera together, watching the snow through the lens of the camera.
"Spread out some, the snowflakes don't be so dense."
The workers immediately pulled the two snow guns apart.
"The snowflakes are falling too fast, can it be slower."
The snowflakes fall too fast and the camera is not easy to catch.
"No, that's all."
If the quality of the snowflakes remains the same, the speed of their fall will not change.
Li Shengyao patted Liu Sheng's shoulder, "It's up to you next." β
A photographer is someone who catches a moment.
Li Shengyao then called a few actors, and finally played a scene.
"The first shot of the fifth scene, start."
The snowflakes are falling one after another, like a basket of flowers falling from the sky, which is very beautiful.
The male protagonist leads three front-line workers, holding drawings, and tells the workers how to transform.
Not far from them, the heroine is holding a camera, which looks like she is filming the structure of the ski resort, but is actually secretly filming the male protagonist.
Liu Sheng was in charge of the camera, and he accurately photographed the snowflakes.
"Stop."
Li Shengyao gave Liu Sheng a thumbs up, "Very good." β
Liu Sheng succeeded in the first attempt, obviously he had worked hard before.
He then waved his right hand, "Give the hero and heroine umbrellas, and the makeup artist touches up the makeup." β
In the shot just now, because of the heavy snow, it fell on Zhao Yang's head, making his hair wet and sticking to his scalp, not handsome at all.
Han Yue immediately took the assistant to touch up the makeup of the male and female protagonists, Yan Danchen was slightly better here, and Zhao Yang's hair was a little wet, which was more seriously damaged.
He took off his gloves, picked up a comb, combed Zhao Yang's hair, and then used a hair dryer to blow the styling, and sprayed a little bit of styling water, after doing this, he also had to trim the makeup on Zhao Yang's face.
It took twenty minutes for Han Yue to finish his work.
It was so cold that his hands were very cold, so he hurriedly put on his gloves and sighed.
The filming continued, the snowflakes swayed and fell, Zhao Yang and the three group actors stood under the snowflakes, at this moment, a sudden gust of cold wind hit, and the snowflakes that had fallen normally were much more violent and slapped on Zhao Yang's face.
Such a picture is definitely not good.
Li Shengyao immediately shouted to stop, and then called the makeup artist to touch up the makeup.
Han Yue rolled his eyes, he remembered that he was teaching students in Yenching School, when even in the cold winter, there was mild heating.
Not to mention, the students looked at her with admiration.
And now he feels like a rag, no one cares about him, and he has to be on call.
But even if he was unhappy, he immediately took off his gloves and then put on makeup for Zhao Yang.
When the cold wind gradually left, Li Shengyao resumed filming.
Snowflakes flutter in mid-air.
In the shot, Zhao Yang is wearing a tweed coat and directing the workers to transform it in the snow.
Yan Danchen faced Zhao Yang and took continuous candid shots.
Finally filmed it in its entirety.
Li Shengyao shook his head, he felt that Zhao Yang had just tensed too tightly and was not relaxed enough.
He then asked the makeup artist to touch up his makeup, and at the same time came to Zhao Yang, "You were too nervous just now, relax." β
"Director, I was frozen just now, it was too cold, and my body was stiff."
Li Shengyao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what Zhao Yang said was not wrong, the weather was indeed very bad, and the actors needed to pay more.
"Hold on, I'll immediately arrange for someone to buy a few hot fans."
When Han Yue heard this, his heart moved slightly, I don't know if he has a hot fan, if he has, it won't be so cold, and he should be able to hold on.
continued to film, the weather was too bad, this scene was not a very difficult scene, and it was filmed all the time, but it did not achieve the aesthetic effect.
Li Shengyao continued to shout stop, the actors were tired, and the makeup artists were as tired.
Han Yue took off his gloves again, and then stepped forward to touch up Zhao Yang's makeup.
He regretted it a little, he knew that he would not come to the group in such a working environment.
At this time, although he was doing this seriously, his face was already a little ugly.
Li Shengyao has been staring at the state of Zhao Yang and Yan Danchen, and he is worried that the two actors will get sick.
He then noticed that makeup artist Han Yue's face was ugly.
He didn't blame Han Yue, he had expected such a working environment, but to be honest, he wasn't very comfortable.
He could understand everyone's dissatisfaction at this time.
But this TV series is set in winter, where snow is falling.
It is impossible to say that you will move to the warmer parts of the south.
There are difficulties, there are problems, and they can only be overcome.
I shot it again, and this time it worked out much better.
In the falling snowflakes, the two leading actors, Zhao Yang and Yan Danchen, have no problem, they are very handsome and beautiful.
Li Shengyao clapped his hands and asked the makeup artist to touch up his makeup, and twenty-five minutes later, he waved his hand at Han Yue.
Han Yue walked over with a puzzled expression, his face was still not very good.
"Come, come with me to see your masterpiece."
"The fifth scene, the eighth shot, begins."
Snowflakes are like spring flotsam, floating in the air with a touch of romance.
The male protagonist directs the workers to transform on one side, and the female protagonist secretly shoots on the other side.
"Click!"
"Click!"
"Click!"
With the sound of the camera shutter pressing, the picture freezes the handsome appearance of the actor.
He is like a prince in a fairy tale.
Fused with the land of snow, so handsome, so charming.
"Beautiful, the morning shooting is over, everyone eats and rests."
Li Shengyao stood up and applauded, and told the actors and crew to rest, and only filmed one scene in one morning, but he was very satisfied with the effect.
He then turned around and smiled at Han Yue, "See? The reason why I am so strict is because I want to shoot a modern Chinese drama with the most beautiful shots. β
"And you, an unknown makeup artist who used to be in an area outside of Yanjing, will inevitably become famous overseas because of this drama."
"Your harvest will be huge, but you have to overcome those difficulties, look at Zhao Yang and Yan Danchen, the two of them are more bitter and tired than you, you ......"
The shot just now is indeed very beautiful, more beautiful than the dramas Han Yue watched before.
He followed Li Shengyao's words and thought of becoming the first makeup artist in domestic entertainment.
His eyes were already full of fighting spirit at this time, and he said loudly: "Director, you don't need to say it, I understand, don't worry, I know this truth, if you want to succeed, you have to endure hardships." β
"Yes, if we want to create a work that is popular overseas, we must go through the suffering that no one else has."
Han Yue nodded, "Director, I understand." β
"Okay, work hard, come on."
