Chapter 239: [Boot]
It's like a friend you know sits down and casually asks what you do in your spare time.
Lu Zhengyi and the others did not ask Wang Xiaoxu in detail about the details of the game, and those things had nothing to do with the crew.
That is Wang Xiaoxu's own life.
November 10th,
Liancheng,
Outside a residential building in an old neighborhood, on the vacant land, the crew of "Different Space" officially started.
did not invite redundant media reporters to visit, and temporarily concealed the news of the start-up, and now that the curse is still in the release period, Lu Zhengyi does not want his new film to be too ostentatious.
"Incense."
In the distance, Wei Kang was holding a camera and standing near the offering table.
In the camera, under the leadership of Zhang Yu, a group of people in the crew were holding incense and bowing to the faceless stone statue, and then stepped forward one by one to insert the incense.
Among them, when several actors approached, they just glanced at the stone statue casually and didn't pay much attention to it.
First of all, Zhou Ziyun, who played the actor Luo Zhan, was the first in the cast to step forward and insert the incense in his hand on the incense burner.
followed by Cai Siqi, who played the heroine Zhang Xin, she participated in the boot ceremony for the first time, and when it was completed, Xiaowei next to her helped remind her what to do.
and then Huang Yunli, who is the second female lead, plays Luo Zhan's ex-girlfriend Xue'er in the play.
She lined up behind Cai Siqi, and when she inserted the incense, she had a smile on her face.
In front of the camera, I couldn't tell that there was anything wrong with her, but as soon as she turned around, her expression was much more restrained.
Although at the audition, Cai Siqi took the script of the second female lead, but when she was actually selected, the second female lead was given to Huang Yunli.
This situation is rare in the entertainment industry.
This circle attaches great importance to seniority, unless it is the kind of particularly good friend, he will demote himself to choose a role that does not match him in a movie, and is willing to be pressed by some actors with lower qualifications than himself.
Otherwise, it's the kind of temporary cameo, asking for personal connections and personal favors.
Now Huang Yunli, who has been in the circle for a few years, and the supporting actress she got is at least a person with a character line, but she was suppressed by a 10,000-year-old dragon set that didn't even leave a name on the information.
And this 10,000-year-old dragon set is not from a professional class, but a wild road that has not graduated from high school.
It's not that she despises her academic qualifications, it's just that Huang Yunli feels that if she takes it, then in order to make a fortune in the past few years, her life in this circle will be like a joke.
But let her shake her face and leave, she didn't dare.
Before she came, she knew that Lu Zhengyi's crew was very special, but she didn't expect it to be so special, and she didn't care about the rules at all.
"Brother Yao seems to believe this."
But soon, after Huang Yunli stood next to her, she saw that Lu Zhengyi's assistant Wang Yao also put on incense with a pious and respectful face, and hurried up.
Team Leader Wang glanced at her, "If you believe it, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it." ”
As he spoke, he straightened his collar and stood a little farther away to avoid blocking the incense from others.
"Yes, yes, my mom believes in that." Huang Yunli followed his words, "When I was a child, I had a high fever that didn't go away, so my mother took it to ask A-Niang, and asked for a piece of rune paper. ”
This chat must start with the topic that people like.
"Oh?"
Sure enough, Team Leader Wang, who didn't plan to talk more, suddenly became interested, "So effective? But what kind of god is A-Niang? ”
"A-Niang is our collective name for the fairy Niangniang."
Huang Yunli explained, "I'm from Chaocheng, and I remember that Director Lu's previous spell was about the culture of wandering gods in our Chaocheng. ”
"Youshen is very common in the southern region, but some areas are slowly ceasing to do it, but our side, like Taicheng and Fucheng, especially believe in these."
"Look, this is the amulet my mother asked me from the Qinglong Ancient Temple when I went out of the garden, that is, when I came out of the garden, that is, the coming-of-age ceremony."
As she spoke, she removed the red rope from her neck.
At the front of the red rope is a small square red cloth bag.
"I'll see."
Team Leader Wang hurriedly wiped his hands on both sides of his pants, took the talisman very politely with both hands, and looked at it carefully.
……
"It's a good businessman."
At the entrance of a residential building some distance from the open space, Lu Zhengyi was sitting on a stone staircase, taking in everything that happened during the opening ceremony.
After worshipping Zhou Ziyun, who walked silently to the corner alone, Cai Siqi, who stood in the crowd at a loss, and Huang Yunli, who eagerly followed Wang Yao's conversation......
Because of the noodle hanging from his waist, Lu Zhengyi did not attend the opening ceremony.
As a 'good soul', Wang Xiaoxu is no different from a living person.
But as a 'ghast', if the Snow Maiden in this mask approaches when everyone worships the stone statue, she may be directly beaten out of the mask by the stone statue.
Of course, it is also possible that the stone statue was suppressed by the Snow Maiden in reverse.
But no matter what the situation is, Lu Zhengyi still tries to avoid chaos and hides the stone statue with a face.
After all, although this stone statue has the ability to ward off evil spirits, it is more like a program that only knows how to carry out the established process.
"She looks a little disdainful of Cai Siqi." Zhang Yu walked over, heard his words, and reminded loudly, "With her temperament, she may cause trouble, so let's think about whether to be absorbed into the group." ”
"Actors have conflicts in the crew because of the problem of position, and there are often things that compete openly and secretly."
"Although in our crew, with the qualifications of the two of them, no matter what, they can't make trouble in the open, but if we do something in secret, we can't keep an eye on it all the time, otherwise let's find an honest one."
If there are such a mess of people in this team, it is easy to go astray.
"That's not it, I've collaborated on two dramas, what kind of person she is, I can still see how much." Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "Besides, how can people be perfect, and people with all kinds of small flaws are people." ”
Zhang Yu hesitated, "Okay, then you decide." ”
Lu Zhengyi smiled and didn't speak again.
To be honest, these words were said by Zhang Yu, and he felt that there were some double standards.
Although this old Zhang has changed now, in the future, he is not a peaceful person.
Lao Zhang is lustful, Bai Wei is straight, and Zhang Yuming is impulsive......
Where is the kind of perfect person in their team?
The best one is probably Chang Zhengwei, who doesn't have any special character flaws, but he is very persistent about winning awards, and he hopes to win an actor.
These are not all growing slowly, and finally they have the appearance that makes people feel reliable.
Lu Zhengyi felt that Huang Yunli was very good, at least with a clear goal - greed for money.
From the time of filming the First Commandment, Huang Yunli was very obsessed with 'making a lot of money', and the whole person seemed to be very motivated.
That's good.
She wanted money, and Lu Zhengyi felt that it would be easy to solicit it when the time came.
"Okay, okay, ready to shoot."
Seeing the red cloth on the camera being removed, Lu Zhengyi clapped his palms, "It's all moving, ready to start shooting." ”
He stepped closer to the crew.
"The dressing room is on the second floor, Sister Wei, you take the actors upstairs to put on makeup first."
"Brother Jie, you go over the scene you set up before."
"Brother Kang, the camera position is troublesome, and I will confirm it again."
Then, Bai Wei in the crowd neatly distributed the headsets to the leaders of each group, and at the same time beckoned the rest of the crew to swing props, cameras, and actors to put on makeup.
This skillful command made Zhang Yu, who was standing next to Lu Zhengyi, a little in a trance.
In the past, he did all this work.
But suddenly, Bai Wei, who was in command, seemed to think of something, hurriedly came over to Zhang Yu's side, and asked respectfully, "Master, you see that my arrangement is okay, right?" ”
Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "No problem, as an assistant director, before filming, from the camera position to the props and makeup...... It's a good idea to check all aspects several times to avoid making mistakes when shooting. ”
"Although it is said that filming NG is a very common thing now, unlike the previous film era, every NG had to cost a lot of money."
"But the feeling of the actor is very important, if the actor's own interpretation is fine, but because of the shooting position, props...... It is a pity for the director to stop with these problems, resulting in this paragraph not being able to use, so you have done a good job of this. ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, "Ah Wei, I know that you were just a field reporter before, and at most you only regarded this as a job. ”
"But if you call me a master now, and you plan to make progress and step onto a bigger stage, you need to start cultivating your passion for shooting, reading a lot of films, observing and understanding the director's methods when shooting, and understanding how to shoot to highlight the plot......"
"It's just that this and that are arranged in the crew, and that is not called a director, but can only be said to be a field worker and handyman with rights. If you want to really take on the position of 'assistant director', you must at least have a certain degree of appreciation. ”
And this is not an easy thing to do.
Some people have been working for most of their lives, so they feel a threshold, and the films they lead are indiscriminate, and in the end they can only shoot short dramas.
And some people only took half a year or a year to learn and began to study their own shooting style, such as Lu Zhengyi.
Bai Wei remembered Zhang Yu's words very seriously.
He knew very well before that his work was more like a handyman, and although he could manage and direct others, he could learn very little.
So he cherishes Zhang Yu's teachings.
……
"Ding-dong-"
The woman with a disheveled hair appeared in the camera with a plain face with only a light lip color.
"Are you looking at the house?"
Immediately after, a male voice came from inside the doorbell.
"yes."
The woman replied softly, her voice was powerless, and she seemed weak.
"Okay, then you can come in."
Soon, the security door was opened.
The woman bowed her head and cowered into the hallway.
Next to him, Wei Kang held the camera to record this scene clearly and transmitted it to the director's monitor.
From the entrance of the stairs to the elevator, and then to press the elevator door, the whole process, the woman put on a look of not squinting, and from the camera, the whole person looked very sluggish.
The background of the heroine Zhang Xin is a patient with mental problems under the pressure of life.
And her illness is to be able to see ghosts.
But no matter whether she can see the ghost because of a hallucination caused by illness, or if she can really see it, she is a character who can suddenly see a ghost when she is an adult.
Hell, there are a lot of movies that Lu Zhengyi has shot in the past, and I have seen them in reality.
And like Liu Baoning, or the psychic Xiangzi in the curse, they are all special groups that can see ghosts since childhood.
Compared with normal people, they have a strong psychological quality.
is like Liu Baoning, she can ignore Liang Meijuan directly after seeing her, and communicate with others as if no one is around.
And Hibiki faced Gaco, and he had tougher nerves than ordinary people, until he found that he couldn't help the other party at all, and he began to be afraid.
These are all manifestations of people who are born with the ability to see ghosts.
And Zhang Xin, who Cai Siqi wants to play, is a person who can only 'see ghosts' the day after tomorrow, so she has to show a certain chattering and panicked look.
In the current camera, this action is cringe, and the performance of not squinting, is Lu Zhengyi's understanding of a person who can see ghosts the day after tomorrow.
Yes, that's his understanding.
He wrote this understanding in the script for Cai Siqi and asked her to interpret it.
"Director Lu, you said that I want to play this play...... How do I add special effects? ”
However, during the filming, Wang Xiaoxu tiptoed to the director's monitor and asked Lu Zhengyi in a low voice, "I'll watch from the side first, and when the time comes, the idlers will disperse, and then we will finish the finishing touch?" ”
This is a common shooting routine used by the plum civet crew before going to the country.
"Miscellaneous people, etc.?"
Lu Zhengyi glanced at him strangely, "Where did our crew come from?" ”
As soon as he said this, Wang Xiaoxu was stunned.
After a while, he raised his head and looked around the set, Wei Kang, who commanded the camera crew to set up the position, Xiaowei who followed the actors after putting on makeup, and Ajie who cleaned up the scene......
Well, except for a few actors who have just joined the group, everyone else is their own people who have already signed contracts. ’
It doesn't seem like there's really any need to hide.
"It's still like when you slap the grudge."
Lu Zhengyi said, "When we shoot later, you can just add the illusion construction to it, and we will use the excuse of virtual technology to simply fool the others." ”
"The excuse of virtual technology is obviously casual nonsense, but it is unexpectedly easy to use, and many people are willing to believe it."
"When the shooting is over, I'll have someone talk to them."
Unconsciously, the size of the crew has expanded to a certain number of people.
This horror film is no better than those historical films and war films with grand scenes, whether it is filming or preparation, the funds and manpower required are not much.
For the show Xenospace alone, the crew is completely sufficient, and there is no need to recruit additional temporary workers.
In this way, it is extremely easy to control the field.
It's like a group chat with more than 60 people, and more than 50 of them are actors.
In this case, it is not up to these more than 50 actors to decide what topics to talk about in this group, and even if the remaining ones are forced to bring topics, no one will follow.
