Looking at the banner in Liu Qing's hand, Zhou Yan blinked a few times, "Brother Liu, aren't we a little ......?"

Liu Qing nodded, "Well, it's a bit simple, but it can only be like this for the time being, we must prepare well next time." ”

Zhou Yan wanted to say if it was a little public, a three-minute short film, and a start-up ceremony.

However, Liu Qing didn't listen to him at all, and took out the incense burner, saucers, and fruits from the prop box.

Watching Liu Qing's series of actions, Zhou Yan was stupid, good guy! When did Liu Qing bring these things?

Liu Qing beckoned others to help set up the incense table, "Let's hurry up and put it up." ”

Zhao Fei and the others were also quite energetic, and they went to help Liu Qing with a smile, after all, they had never participated in such a unique start-up ceremony.

Although Zhou Yan felt that the start-up ceremony was a bit of a fuss, he also felt ironed in his heart when he saw Liu Qing and them busy.

At the same time, he began to understand why there was such a ritual in making a movie.

The movie has not yet started, and everyone participates in such a ceremony together, it seems that from this moment on, everyone is really a team, and they will work together to complete the work in the future.

The incense table was quickly set up, and Liu Qing got a red cloth to cover the camera.

Because there was going to be filming for a while, there should not be too much smoke in the room, so they didn't light the incense, everyone just took the incense to the front of the stage and bowed a few times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Starting from Zhou Yan and then to Zhao Fei...... The last one is Lin Juan, who made up makeup, and the seven members of the entire "Antfly" crew, everyone paid homage.

In the end, when Lin Juan was worshipping incense, two tenants who lived in other rooms passed by their room in the outside corridor, saw someone holding incense and worshipping inside, took a hurried look, and hurriedly ran away.

After a while, the innkeeper ran over and shouted:

"What are you doing?"

Seeing that the boss was menacing, Zhou Yan walked up with a smile and handed over the cigarette, "Boss, is there something wrong?" ”

The boss is a smoking gun, and when he opened the room, Zhou Yan gave him a cigarette.

Before opening the room, Zhou Yan told the boss that they were going to shoot a short film in the room, and the boss said that there was no problem.

So seeing the boss like this, Zhou Yan was also puzzled.

The boss didn't take the cigarette this time, he looked at the incense table and said, "Didn't you say you were going to make a movie?" What the hell is this, a tenant has reported that you are performing a cult ritual. ”

These words amused Zhou Yan and the others.

Liu Qing smiled, "Boss, you're too funny, whose family held a cult ceremony to open the door, we are the crew to turn on, look at this." ”

He pointed to the banner.

The boss looked up, and after reading the words above, he immediately knew that there was a misunderstanding, so he took Zhou Yan's cigarette with a smile, "We are from a small place, I don't know anything, how do you know that the movie starts like this." You're busy, I'll go first. ”

After that, the boss left without looking back, coming and going in a hurry.

When the boss was gone, the gaffer Yuan Yu still felt coke for what happened just now, "Director Zhou, our start-up ceremony, the memory points are too much." ”

Liu Qing agreed, "That's right, I will never forget it in my life." ”

Zhou Yan smiled, even if there were no episodes, he would never forget today in his life.

The first time is always special and unforgettable.

"Okay, pack up your things, it's time to start shooting, there's not much time, let's hurry."

"At the opening ceremony, don't you say something to boost the morale of the army?"

Zhou Yan waved his hand, "Everyone shoot well, if you can finish filming tomorrow, I will invite you to eat roast whole sheep." ”

……

Before coming, Zhou Yan had already communicated with Zhao Fei and them about today's shooting, including on the way to drive today, Zhou Yan also discussed with them the scene of the camera arrangement.

So before the filming started, Zhou Yan simply discussed the shooting camera arrangement with Zhao Fei according to the moving line of the room, and began to take Liu Qing and them to arrange the scene.

After arranging the scene, Zhou Yan asked Lin Juan to make herself a relatively dry makeup, and then changed into a cool outfit, and she was barefoot.

In this winter, there was no air conditioning in the hostel, and Zhou Yan, who was wearing a vest and was barefoot, was shivering from the cold.

Lin Juan was a little distressed when she looked at it on the side, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhou Yan, why don't you wear thick clothes, it will freeze to death." ”

Zhou Yan shook his head, he did consider letting the protagonist wear winter clothes because of the cold weather before, but after changing it, he always felt that the taste was wrong.

When wearing thick clothes, it is difficult to express many emotions and details.

On one side is a person in thick clothes, and on the other side is a person in a tattered vest, and from the perspective of the senses, the latter can give people a more decadent and uneasy feeling, which is more in line with the theme of "Antfly".

Zhou Yan was throbbing, trying to make his body hot, and said, "Lin Juan, go get some warm water." ”

Lin Juan thought that Zhou Yan wanted to use warm water to keep warm, so she waved her hand again and again, "It's not okay to warm with water, it's even colder after a while." ”

Zhao Fei understood what Zhou Yan meant, and he said to Lin Juan, "Zhou Yan wants to sprinkle water on his body to show the feeling of sweating." ”

When they communicated the script before, Zhao Fei thought about this matter, in the winter, Zhou Yan couldn't sweat no matter how he jumped in a vest, so he could only use splashing water to achieve the effect.

After the warm water came, Zhou Yan asked Lin Juan to splash it, but Lin Juan wrinkled her little face and didn't dare to do anything.

In desperation, Zhou Yan could only take the basin by himself and began to sprinkle water on his body.

Because it is warm water, it is quite comfortable when it is sprinkled on the body, but after only being comfortable for a while, the water will soon cool down, making the body even colder.

Lin Juan was already covering her eyes and didn't dare to look at it, but Zhao Fei and the others sincerely admired that Zhou Yan, this kid, was really good at himself.

Seeing Zhou Yan like this, they all became serious, if they made a mistake and caused a waste of shots, then they would be really sorry for Zhou Yan.

"Ready to get started."

Zhou Yan rubbed his teeth and said a word, and then squatted in the corner.

Before it was time to start the machine, he had to rehearse with the pre-designed cable a few times, and then turn it on after he felt that there was no problem, after all, the cost was not high, and he couldn't afford to consume film.

After rehearsing a few times, Zhou Yan decided to start filming.

"Power on."

"Hit the board."

"Once."

"Let's go."

In this paragraph, Zhou Yan has rehearsed it many times in his heart, he thought that he would be nervous when he really started, but in fact he didn't, he couldn't think of anything else in his mind now, it was all about how to shoot the next scene.

Because the preliminary preparations were relatively sufficient, and there were several rehearsals on the spot, the shooting was relatively smooth, there were no stumbles, and many times Zhao Fei said it was okay to shoot one or two.

This is not good in the film era, there is no monitor to see the actual picture when shooting, and the director can only rely on his feelings, and then refer to the opinions of the photographer.

If it's a digital age, you don't need to rehearse, you can come up and shoot directly, watch while shooting, delete it if you feel it's not good, and you can start over again anyway, without thinking about the waste of film. You don't even need to delete it, just keep it, as long as the memory is enough, you can keep as much as you want.

Therefore, unless Zhou Yan feels that the problem is particularly big, he will listen to Zhao Fei's opinion, and the footage that is no problem will be passed directly, and he will not be reshot. Zhou Yan still attaches great importance to Zhao Fei's opinion, Zhao Fei has been in this industry for a long time and has enough experience, although he has always been a photographer, but he has seen a lot of director's things.

After the first day of filming, the progress of the play was just halfway through, but Zhou Yan was already quite satisfied.

Today is the beginning, and there are still some things in the filming process, such as the staff who are not familiar with the set and do not understand the script, which delays the filming progress, but after the first day, this kind of problem is much less.

I believe that if filming starts tomorrow, the progress will be faster, and if there are no accidents, one more day of filming, and the drama will be over.
