What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 14 Film Crew

The filming went through many rehearsals, and the filming went very smoothly after the official start. Liu Man was on the scene directing the filming, and the filming was over in more than three days.

Although many positions were deleted, the makeup artist and photographer must be retained, both of whom are Liu Man's alumni.

Makeup artist Gong Yuqing is a taciturn petite girl with freckles on her eyes. She usually looks up to the sky without saying anything. No one would guess that she is a makeup artist. She is currently working at Langfang TV Station.

He is also good at styling. He shaved Yang Shu's eyebrows and cut his hair, and then put on a white shirt and suit. He looks like a social worker.

Because he had to bring his own clothes, Yang Shu went to buy a full set of suits.

The suit can’t be too cheap, but it’s too expensive and I can’t afford it. In the end, I bought a domestic famous brand for more than 1000 yuan, which was quite stylish. Then I bought a shirt, tie and leather shoes at the same store.

Fortunately, Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu paid for the living expenses of these two months, otherwise more than half of the deposit would be removed, and the leisurely life of the middle class was really unbearable.

The brand grade of the suit is in line with the identity of the characters in the play. Liu Man expressed satisfaction, but also expressed emotion: "I hope that one day when we film a movie, the brand will take the initiative to find it to provide clothing."

That's the treatment of big productions and celebrities. Not only are the clothes sponsored, but there are also advertising fees for wearing them.

Yang Shu cherishes this set of clothes very much. When the crew needs to work, he wears other clothes first, especially the very hot work of lighting, he often sweats profusely, and only changes when it is his turn to shoot.

In addition, the key prop in the play "the watch left by father" was contributed by Jiang Shiyu, and it is really her father's watch.

This watch was given by her grandfather when her father was studying abroad. It is a little old and has a commemorative value. She got it out and used it for filming.

Jiang Shiyu praised unambiguously: "I like the way Shushu is wearing a white shirt, wearing a watch and holding a computer. He is very clean and handsome. How do you say that old saying, warm and moist like jade, hiding a sword in a box."

After living together for more than 20 days, Liu Man and her insisted on changing the name of Yangshu to Shushu, but it was useless to object.

It felt very childish, like a role-playing game, and they said that they should use such nicknames, and they must be repeated, which sounds like a family.

The effect is there. The photographer Ning Song asked Yang Shu on the day they met: "Are you a relative of Liu Man or Jiang Shiyu?"

Poplar smiled and nodded.

Ning Song is tall and strong, with a height of 1.8 meters and a weight of [-]. He has a big face with beard and rough skin, but he has a pair of clear eyes.

It is rare for a professional photographer to find a job. After graduating, Ning Song worked in an advertising production company in the capital, and has shot many advertisements in the past year.

But because the team lacked creativity, he became less and less interested in the job.

"It feels like a chef goes to work and the boss makes him fry shit every day!"

This metaphor is quite disgusting. Both Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu warned Yang Shu: "It's good to cooperate at work, and don't talk to him in private."

In his spare time, Ning Song also shoots some short videos with his friends and posts them on Kuaishou. Yang Shu watched them, and the shots are too professional and serious, not suitable for the atmosphere of that kind of platform.

Warnings are of no use. Yang Shu has a strong magnetic ability in interpersonal relationships. After working together for only one day, Ning Song hit it off with him and confessed that he is a sex addict.

I really don't know much about this poplar tree, so I couldn't help asking: "Is it because of the disease of women that I can't live without, and I like to mess around?"

"Of course I can leave women. I'm not hyperactive, and my physiology is completely normal," Ning Song denied. "I'm addicted to sex and not to women. I just dumped a woman two days ago."

He said that he likes to collect exquisite pictures, high-quality novels and film and television works, but they are all in that respect.

Yang Shu still couldn't understand: "What's so strange about this, which man didn't order these things?"

"It's not the same. I have pictures on eight hard drives, 10,000+ novels on one hard drive, and movies on more than 30 hard drives. The total capacity is nearly [-] TB!"

Yang Shu was taken aback: "There are so many, isn't it suspected of breaking the law?"

Ning Song was a little complacent: "It's not too much, but I can't finish reading it until I die. It's not illegal for me to collect it, but it's illegal if I share it with you."

"Then what a fart!"

This photographer is obviously a visual animal, and he is most suitable to be sent to Japan to shoot Ivy.

But the professional ability is really good, the mirror control is precise, and it is especially sensitive to light and color, and the pictures it shoots are very cinematic.

The first day of filming was during the day, mainly the heroine's scenes, and also the scenes of interacting with girlfriends. There were few characters, and most of them were indoors. There were also some street scene scenes, which were relatively relaxed.

The next day, we filmed all night in the restaurant, and finished filming all the scenes between Guo Minkai and Liu Man.

The play is not complicated. The two sit at the dining table and talk continuously. The plot is all driven by lines, and the requirements for performance are not high. Both of them completed it very well.

But the restaurant scene is actually filming the old man and the heroine meeting several times. In addition to the male and female protagonists having to constantly change their costumes, the filming positions and the diners in the background also have to be constantly adjusted. This is the most difficult part of mobilizing personnel.

There is also a scene at the end of the credits where the heroine and the real man finally meet. They were filmed together, and a classmate Liu Man with a face similar to Guo Minkai cameo.

In addition, after filming the restaurant scene in the early morning, I also took a photo of the heroine's family reunion decades later, put on old man makeup on Liu Man and sat with Guo Minkai, and picked a few suitable actors to play the children and grandchildren. An appointment was made for two boys and girls aged twelve or thirteen.

The shooting plan was too tight, and it took several hours to shoot non-stop. Yang Shu was busy all the time. Not only did he have to light and lay the track, but he also had to help watch the monitor to check the performance effect. At dawn, he was so tired that he didn't want to talk .

Nie Wen was always on the scene when he was filming, and he couldn't help being sarcastic when he saw his distressed appearance: "I said that screenwriter Yang didn't take the money and sleep well at home, why bother to go here and do all this?"

Yang Shu turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear.

The two of them had no grievances or enmities, and Nie Wen was only dissatisfied because he failed to complete the script acquisition task assigned by his boss, which was caused by the estrangement of interests.

It is not the work of a gentleman to make a deal without making a deal.

Yang Shu has always used a very simple method to judge whether a person is a gentleman or a villain, that is to see if the person can bear the disadvantages.

Those who take pleasure in being disadvantaged are mentally ill, not necessarily gentlemen, but those who always like to take advantage, take pleasure in taking advantage of it, and worry about it when they can't take advantage of it, must be a villain.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't have a deep contact, and strange words can't hurt anyone, so just stay away from this kind of person, and you can't even get angry.

I rested in the morning after the whole night, and the shooting on the third day started at [-]:[-] pm. It was mainly about the rivalry between the heroine and her boyfriend, and there were some interactions at home, most of which were also at the dining table.

The filming went very smoothly. After a few days of pondering, these scenes were basically passed through. Even Ning Song could see it: "You guys have a tacit understanding, the positioning is very accurate, and the camera sense is also very strong. You must have rehearsed before shooting."

And I was very lucky today. I was going to shoot a rainy night scene after nightfall. I originally planned to make artificial rain with fire hydrants, but I didn’t expect it to rain suddenly, and the heavy rain lasted for two hours, which fully met the shooting needs.

The scene in the rain mainly shoots the boyfriend and girlfriend talking and laughing and hugging each other in the distant view, and then the heroine sees it.

Because there is no recording and no prescribed lines, Jiang Shiyu is completely free to play. Jiang Shiyu said with a smile: "I already have a premonition that our play will be successful. Even God is so helpful. It would be better if there is another lightning at this time."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a flash of lightning, followed by rolling thunder.

This is too coincidental, Yang Shu startled laughing: "It's a bit scary, we're just acting, don't really be hacked to death like a dog and a woman."

Jiang Shiyu poked his waist: "Don't talk nonsense."

At this time, Liu Man clapped his hands as agreed in advance, reminding them that they should see the heroine.

So Yang Shu and Jiang Shiyu stopped abruptly, looking at the camera with surprised expressions.

At this time, with these few lightning bolts in the sky, a thunderbolt seemed to explode overhead.

The thunder and lightning effect is as good as doing special effects, followed by a shot of the heroine heartbroken in the rain, and the final filming was completed in the rain and her tears.

In the early morning of the next day, all the film crew had breakfast together in the hotel restaurant, which was regarded as a break-up meal.

By the way, Nie Wen notified everyone that the cafeteria will continue to take care of meals at noon, check out before [-] pm, and the film crew will disband.
