The whole entertainment circle thinks I'm confused

Chapter 217 Shooting 1 (asking for a monthly ticket)

……

The director and the main creative team formed a group, and the director Song Ang was discussing with two screenwriters and cameramen——

Dai Chengbi is also in the team, but he is sitting behind the monitor, drinking tea and swiping his phone like an "idle person", with an appearance that has nothing to do with me, and his whole state is out of place.

Zhao Jinhong originally intended to give him a hand, but it was a pity that Song Ang acted as if you could say whatever you want, I can take care of it, and if he listened to his opinion, I would be considered a loser. After working together for two days, it didn't work, so Zhao Jinhong also temporarily do not care.

Because it is the middle of filming, most of the actors have roles, it's just a matter of how many or how few, so the leading actors are basically there.

There was nothing to be seen in the scene just now, but after the surrounding reading, everyone was very familiar with the script. The next scene, which was the main scene, was again the rivalry between the golden actress and best actor, so they unconsciously gathered around.

Teacher Ning Lifen sat in the director's group because of her high status, and also drank health-preserving tea with a thermos. Now, Dai Chengbi finally had someone to chat with.

The appearance of Xia Yu and Yu Junhao must be the focus - the roles of the two are dictated by their roles, and they are not dressed in high-end products. One is sportswear and the other is rustic workplace attire. The two of them are almost bare-faced. Even with makeup, it is not good But the temperament and facial features of the two of them are there, even if they are ugly, they are better than many stars with full makeup.

Seeing Xia Yu and the two coming back, Song Ang greeted them, glanced at them and asked, "Are you all ready? Do you want to give you two more time? The next scene, one shot to the end, is a bit difficult. Let's Try to pass within three."

"no problem."

The two looked at each other, only the eagerness that both sides could feel in their eyes——

I have been waiting for a long time.

"to make!"

He nodded, then turned to the other side and said, "The group performers quickly return to their positions, and the recording will be played in one minute!"

The play continued with the previous scene, the two returned to the front of the truck, and Chen Zimo helped Bai Xiaofei up——

"The eighth act of "The Cure", the first scene, action!"

……

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, she is not feeling well and has caused trouble for everyone!"

While Chen Zimo apologized to the truck driver and the traffic police, he helped Bai Xiaofei to the side of the road.

Seeing the truck starting slowly, leaving quickly, and the entire road slowly returning to traffic order, with fear in his eyes, he let out a deep breath after a long while, and then turned his attention to Bai Xiaofei.

Looking at Bai Xiaofei's blood-stained hands, Chen Zimo took out a tissue from his bag and helped to deal with it.He was very tall, even if the two of them sat on the stone pier, they had to bow their heads, so he just squatted down.

Looking at the wound, distress flashed in his eyes, and he let out a long sigh when he recalled what happened at school.

"Are you crazy? You don't want to die? You are not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of living?"

He talked to himself for a long while, then realized that Bai Xiaofei didn't reply a word, so he looked up at her.

It doesn't look good.

When I saw it, I was suddenly stunned.

Emotions flickered in his eyes - astonished, panicked, suddenly cold.

A heavy pressure came from Bai Xiaofei's eyes to his body.

Recalling the scene I witnessed at school today, I felt suddenly heavy.

On the set, in just a short moment, almost everyone has been brought into the "world" of the two.

"Is this Yu Junhao's acting skills?" Young people like Ding Ye were surprised by his multi-layered performance.

But just like "Chen Zimo" didn't notice the state of "Bai Xiaofei" at first, the moment he raised his eyes, the scene was also stunned.

In fact, Yu Guang was quickly attracted by Xia Yu when most people focused on Yu Junhao and the older generation of the main creative team.

At the moment when the reporter called action, her eyes suddenly lost focus, and with Chen Zimo's support, she followed him like a walking corpse. Even when the wound was being treated, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly because of the pain, but she didn't wake her up.

Everyone could feel the numbness and despair emanating from her body——

It was like a sparrow that was supposed to be in the sky, but was locked in a cage, starving, self-abuse, and begging for death.

This is the mood of the two protagonists at the moment.

"hiss!"

It's just the beginning, so hard work?
Mesozoic powerful actors like Lei Qianyuan and Zhang Yunlan couldn't help holding their breath, and it took a long time to let out a breath-it's not that they haven't played against and cooperated with old actors who can enter the show in seconds, but among the young actors, they I have never encountered it before.

Now that I met two of them all at once, and they were so excited, I couldn't bear to blink even more!

You know, if they want to reach this level, they also need to look at their own state, enter the show in seconds, and really look at talent, it's not something you can achieve with hard work!

Cars passed by on the road, and horns sounded from time to time, but this not only did not break the atmosphere created by the two of them, but on the contrary highlighted a "silence", or "dead silence" is more accurate.

Several people couldn't help but look at each other. This is still the scene, and they have to wait for the post-processing. With some sad or "underworld" soundtrack, the feeling of darkness, numbness, and suffocation can be filled directly, making the audience Breathless.

Filming continues.

Why did Song Ang remind the two of them just now that this scene might be difficult.

Because this scene is not an ordinary one-shot to the end, it is different from the 7-minute filming of Wen Sui in the previous "Painting the Ground as a Prison".

This scene had to be photographed at sunset.

The post-processing of the movie may pull the timeline past in just a few seconds or a dozen seconds.

The general production team may shoot several times, but Song Ang can't do it.

This is his problem after filming "The Prisoner". During the filming, he asked Yu Junhao to shoot a large number of scenes that lasted for more than ten minutes, one or two hours, or even three or four hours. There are very subtle but very real emotional changes in the capture - in the end, he succeeded. Through these a large number of one-shot shots, he created a "real" Li Xu. It just moved the audience, and also moved the judges!
He has continued this "one shot to the end" shooting technique to the present, which is also considered a personal shooting style-of course, this is not a real one shot to the end, but a pseudo-one shot to the end.

It is stitched together through dozens of hundreds of shooting segments ranging from tens of seconds to eight to nine minutes and more than ten minutes.

After all, in this kind of feature film, it is difficult to shoot the whole film in one shot.

This shooting mode is also difficult to reproduce, and its advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.

The advantage is that it can increase details and visual effects that cannot be achieved through post-production lens cutting and editing under ordinary shooting.

As Song Ang said in an interview, "In such a long shot and panoramic shooting state, people feel complete as a whole, and it makes people more comfortable with visual and spiritual senses, and can interpret more information in the film!"

Disadvantages are also obvious.

This is too expensive for an actor. If it is not a professional actor, even a professional actor recognized by the public, it will be difficult to complete it once, let alone a large number of fake one-shot shooting techniques.

This is also why the film "Prisoner" was able to go out of the circle and put Yu Junhao on the altar in one fell swoop.

A large number of one-shot shootings are a great exercise in acting skills. Yu Junhao's acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds after this movie.

According to statistics, the filming of "Prisoner" is not considered the post-production period, and it took seven and a half months for the filming alone.

But during the period of "Daming Jinyiwei", Song Ang gave up. Apart from the reason that this is a commercial movie, it is more of the actors in this movie. Except for Yu Junhao, even Cheng Yun and a few old actors are There is no way to complete Song Ang's shooting requirements in large quantities!
As a result, although the film is said to be full of visual effects, the ability to "tell a story" has dropped significantly.

That's why Song Ang confirmed again and again, and said that it should be completed within three or four points, that is, he was ready, and "Cure" still uses this shooting method.

Of course, he also plans to add some commercial film shooting techniques, such as the sense of picture.

The bonus of "Da Ming Jin Yi Wei" gave him a taste of the sweetness!
As for the previous scene, although the time was extended to the afternoon, there were still at least two hours before the sun set.

Song Ang has strict requirements, but he has also arranged for each time period. The approximate location and what requirements the actors must meet have all been explained in detail. What he wants to control is the overall shooting effect.

But Yu Junhao doesn't have to worry about whether the filming can be completed until the end, it mainly depends on Xia Yu.

Filming continues.

……

After Chen Zimo treated Bai Xiaofei's wound, he was shocked by the numbness and despair in her eyes.

He hesitated to speak many times, and looked at the cheap watch on his hand many times.

Here, it shows that Chen Zimo should have other things, but he is still worried that Bai Xiaofei will do something stupid.

Because of what he saw at the adult education school just now, he also knew that there was no way to inform her family of this kind of thing...

The two sat on the stone pier beside the bridge.

The director team also arranged group performances early on. From time to time, group performances would come and go between the roads and overpasses. Most of them acted in a hurry. No one was willing to take the time to pay attention to or even take a look at the two of them. This scene was so depressing. pole.

This kind of long-term emotional filming, generally the scene can bear the temper and watch it all the time, but more than half of the crew of "Cure" slowly put down their mobile phones and small movements in their hands, and they were brought into the scene little by little. inside.

In half an hour, Chen Zimo answered four calls, probably from important customers, and he kept apologizing for each of them, apologizing for both laughs and sins.

In the middle of his fourth call, Bai Xiaofei's eyes finally came back to his senses, and he stood up numbly, staggering a little in the middle.Because even though he didn't die from that fall, it was not light.

Standing up suddenly, the pain and even the numbness in her eyes dissipated a little, but she said nothing, put her hands up to avoid touching the wound, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and gritted her teeth , go forward slowly.

It's just that she fell really badly, and she almost tripped again after walking a few steps.

Fortunately, Chen Zimo helped her in time. He hung up the phone with a smile and smiled. Seeing that Bai Xiaofei pushed his hand away in refusal, he asked her, "Should I take you to the hospital? You might have a broken bone."

Bai Xiaofei didn't shake his head, and there was a trace of a bitter smile that the camera could catch but Chen Zimo couldn't see at the corner of his mouth—'How much does it cost to go to the hospital?She was covered all over, and only 500 yuan was left, and she didn't know if she could make it through this month. '

The two of them walked for nearly 10 minutes. During the process, Bai Xiaofei looked at the cars passing by the road many times, and Chen Zimo's heart trembled with fear.

I felt that Chen Zimo wanted to come up and stop him many times, and he followed slowly all the way.

She raised her eyes, took a serious look at him, her eyes fluttered a few times, and then quickly lowered her head. Now that messy hair fell down, which just happened to block her expression, and she only heard one sentence, "thanks--"

This section took a full hour and a half to shoot, and stopped several times at several locations in the middle, but they didn't call "cut".

There are no real lines in this paragraph, and there is no explanation in the script of how the relationship between the two should be.

Here, Song Ang asked them to fully perform the most authentic performances of Bai Xiaofei and Chen Zimo during the period after "Bai Xiaofei's attempted suicide" - not to mention ordinary actors, even professional actors, it is very difficult to complete!

These two people performed with ease, which was amazing and felt a lot of pressure.

This kind of "no script" performance is not easy to express the emotions and action designs that the characters should have. It requires the actor to understand the whole character thoroughly, his every word and action, his thoughts, his...

Just like Chen Zimo's "alarm clock phone" who kept checking the time and set the time for himself, all of which added soul to this character in details.

For example, Bai Xiaofei looked at the vehicles passing by the road again and again, and had several conversations with Chen Zimo's body, eyes, and lines, his observations of Chen Zimo, especially Chen Zimo's every time he apologized to his customers - that kind of love for life. Hard work, persistence...

The numbness and despair of "life" in her eyes are also being "healed" a little bit, if the character of Chen Zimo increases the three-dimensionality through a lot of action details.

Then, apart from the movement of "pain", Bai Xiaofei conveyed a lot of information through his eyes.

This scene, the nearly two-hour shooting, is definitely not "wonderful". It is not the kind that can make people feel hearty. There is no big explosive point, but it is very calm and depressing.

In fact, more than half of the "audience" at the scene retreated halfway, played with their mobile phones again, and made small moves. Few were willing to torture themselves, and less than one-tenth of those who watched from beginning to end were left.

But without exception, the emotions are infected, addicted to it, unable to extricate themselves.

Until dusk, when the afterglow came from the gloomy sky, the two finally arrived at the nearest bus stop.

In the picture, Xia Yu is sitting in one corner of the bus station, and Yu Junhao is sitting in the other corner.

Many staff members and group performers don't know what acting is, but at this moment, watching the two sitting there, two different emotions collide, there is no big movement, no screaming, no shouting.

Just sitting there quietly, it was as if they had seen the real Bai Xiaofei and Chen Zimo!

This is not the first time they met, but it was the first time that they intersected, like two parallel lines that never seemed to intersect, suddenly turned a corner and knocked down a piece!
"Cut!" Song Ang said.

Everyone woke up like a dream.

It's not a plot that can make people mesmerized, nor does it reach the point of making people cry.

But all the people present let out a deep breath, full of depression!
