That's how I became famous

Chapter 663 Shooting Begins

Basically, the crew of "The Witch" has already been prepared, and the funds have been prepared long ago, and the next step is to wait for the movie to start.

Li Xiao had time, but he didn't announce the startup immediately, but delayed it for two days.

For two days, he was making final revisions to the script and the footage.

In "The Witch" in the dream, the plot is a bit procrastinated, and what Li Xiao made was exactly this modification.

Two days later, the crew announced the start of the film in a village outside the capital.

This time when the movie started, Li Xiao didn't hold any rituals like worshiping gods, and didn't invite reporters and media. Everything was done in a low-key manner.

In his opinion, it is better to spend more time on movies than to engage in so many things.

There are a lot of people on the set, including staff and group members, there are at least 100 people.

Noisy, the noise is endless.

Today's actors who have a shooting plan are only Mr. Jin and Chen Yong.

However, Fengmei, Hanyuan, and a group of actors also came to the scene because of the start of the movie.

The assistant director is a thin middle-aged man with a beard and thick glasses, but his eyes are extremely sharp looking around, he raised the horn in his hand and shouted: "Stop talking , go back to your own position, do what you should do, and prepare to start filming in 10 minutes."

After finishing speaking, he said to the young man next to him in casual sportswear, a peaked cap, and big sunglasses: "Director Li, I have ordered everything."

Li Xiao nodded slightly. When he came to the crew, the assistant director saved him a lot of trouble.

Previously, the crew had only appointed two assistant directors, but filming and managing the crew were a team effort, and two people were obviously not enough.

Therefore, under Lu Feizhang's suggestion, Li Xiao added several assistant directors from various departments.

Now this lean, middle-aged man with a goatee, named Yang Yushu, was one of the two people who had been fixed from the beginning. He was the on-site assistant director and was responsible for carrying out the work passed down by Li Xiao.

Today the sun is very bright and the sunlight is very dazzling. It is already evening, and finally there is some twilight. Li Xiao looked up at the sky, took off his sunglasses, then beckoned Fengmei and Hanyuan to come over, and said: "Today Without your show, what fun are you still doing, go back first."

Fengmei smiled sweetly and said, "I'll take a look first."

There is a sense of danger hidden in the sweet smile. It is obvious that Fengmei has begun to take on the role of witch.

Li Xiao was a little worried. He glanced at her and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Every actor has his own way of acting and knocking on the door that suits him. Fengmei should be the kind of actor who is more experienced, so he can't say much.

As a director, do you still tell actors not to take it too seriously?

Afterwards, Li Xiao looked at Han Yuan, who also smiled and said, "I'll take a look too."

What Han Yuan said to have a look is different from what Fengmei said.

Fengmei wanted to watch other people's acting in the crew, so as to increase her sense of substitution for the role.

As for Han Yuan, he really just looked at it.

He is a novice in acting. Of course, he has acted in the past, but it is the kind of role that does not have many roles and does not require any acting skills.

This time, it's different, this is my brother's movie, so be serious!
Moreover, if the character needs to be handsome, the little brother will do it by himself, and there is no need to bother to find him.

After Han Yuan finished speaking, he ignored Li Xiao and just watched. The movie hadn't started shooting yet, and the actors were naturally not in place. Li Xiao didn't know what this idiot was watching, so he shook his head and looked at Yang Yushu.

Yang Yushu has been paying attention to this side, and he understood the meaning of this look before Li Xiao could speak, and immediately raised the horn and shouted: "Prepare to shoot, all departments are in place!"

There was a small burst of urging and commanding sounds at the scene.

Soon.

"The photography is in place!"

"The lights are in place!"

"Confucianism is OK!"

"The actors are in place!"

"."

At the scene, voices sounded in an orderly manner.

Li Xiao didn't sit in the director's chair in front of the monitor, but approached the opposite actors, that is, Mr. Jin and Chen Yong, and stood at the blind corner of the camera, and he waved his hand.

The recorder was stunned for a moment, and almost didn't understand it. When he realized it, he quickly tapped the record board and shouted: "action!"

With medium-length hair, a slim black windbreaker, and gloomy and playful eyes, Mr. Jin appeared in the twilight. At first glance, people knew that he was a big villain who was not easy to mess with!

Li Xiao couldn't help nodding his head. Experts would know if there was one as soon as he made a move. Instead of observing closely, he returned to the monitor and sat down.

It's not that I'm tired of standing, or that I want to act like a director, but that I'm worried that the camera is not in the right position.

Sure enough, Mrs. Jin's acting skills are worth mentioning. If she can give full play to the role and the script of the movie is excellent, she can hit the throne of actress.

It's just that, after all, she seldom makes movies, and she occasionally gets addicted to dramas, but dramas are different from making movies.

The most different point is that Teacher Jin restrained herself. She restrained the tension of her performance, which well echoed the needs of filming.

However, the camera position may be a small problem for her.

It was just a small problem, Li Xiao didn't stop and asked the actors to figure it out.

Chen Yong appeared on the stage, with a scar on his face, flamboyant eyes, leather jacket, and jeans. He was also not a good character at first glance.

He's standing next to the car with a bloody little boy next to him

Teacher Jin glanced at the little boy, "Look at your ghostly appearance. How old are you? You dare to follow him. You really don't have a clue. Go wash up quickly, I don't want to see you."

Chen Yong also yelled impatiently at the little boy: "Hey, didn't you hear that? I told you not to get in the way here, go back quickly."

There was no life in the little boy's eyes. He turned his head slightly and squinted at Chen Yong standing behind him.

Chen Yong was furious, "How dare you take someone's eyes? Believe it or not"

The little boy still looked at him like this, Chen Yong stopped talking, and ordered his subordinates: "Take him back."

"Crack!"

It was Li Xiao who yelled, and this segment was relatively long, and if the performance continued, it would not be to let the two people find their feelings, but to waste time and money.

It doesn't take long for the evening to feel like the dawn in the early morning, so we need to hurry up.

Chen Yong, who had a fierce face just now, suddenly became stiff, and lowered his head in embarrassment.He thought that there was something wrong with his acting, so Li Xiaocai called to stop.

There is also Teacher Jin with the same mentality, but she is not as ashamed as Chen Yong, but waits for Li Xiao to point out the problem.

Without letting them come over, Li Xiao walked over by himself with long legs. His superior body condition made the same sex envious and the opposite sex fascinated.Almost all women are thinking, it would be great if the directors of every film crew were so handsome, and they were all motivated to work!
Approaching them, Li Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Jin, Brother Yong, you performed very well."

As soon as the topic changed, Li Xiao didn't waste any time, "But Mr. Jin, you should pay attention to the angle of the camera position. There is nothing to say about the role play, but because I didn't pay attention to the camera position, the effect is not very ideal."

Teacher Jin nodded, and then walked quickly to the monitor, eager to see where he made a mistake.

"." Li Xiao felt that he was being stupid, why did he come here?

He didn't know, but everyone at the scene saw it, and discussed in low voices one by one:
"Director Li is really kind."

"I was afraid that the actors would be under pressure, so I walked over in person."

"But this is not very good. The director still needs to be more aggressive to control the scene."

"Yes, but each has its own way."

"."

Li Xiao didn't hear the discussion around, pointed to the monitor, quickly analyzed the problem to Mr. Jin, then pointed out some problems of Chen Yong, and asked them to go back and continue filming.

The progress was not very smooth. It was dark, and there was no such effect as the dawn was approaching in the early morning. This scene was still not finished.

There was no emotion on Teacher Jin's face, but seeing her staring eyes, she could feel that she was a little depressed.

Chen Yong's performance was very obvious, he didn't speak, and stayed alone.He still had hope for filming, and he also felt that he could do it, but he was a little hit at the beginning, even though this scene was a literary play.

"This is only the first scene, so many clicks."

"Tsk, I feel that some places are quite good, why not?"

"What do you think? That's why you're not the director!"

"What are you doing!"

"By the way, is there no reason for worshiping God?"

"."

The scene is also discussing quietly.

A place like the crew, where people from all over the world gather together, and everyone knows more or less the gossip in the circle, it is simply the best place to chat and gossip.

Seeing that the start of the movie was not going well, no matter whether it was an actor or a member of the crew, they couldn't help but whispered a few words.

"Let everyone clean up, move to the room, and continue with the next scene." Li Xiao ordered, and then continued to watch the clip just now on the monitor. He didn't care what other people said. He didn't feel that it was not going well. .

In fact, Teacher Jin and Chen Yong's performance was already very good in his opinion. Teacher Jin was expected, while Chen Yong was a surprise.

Li Xiao originally thought that Chen Yong was the kind of action actor with average acting skills, that is, he could watch martial arts dramas, but literary dramas might be a bit embarrassing.This time I asked Chen Yong to shoot, that is, I had the idea of ​​giving him a chance.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yong's lines and expression control are quite good, reaching the standard in Li Xiao's heart.

Of course, the reason why this scene didn't happen was that the two of them had some minor problems with each other, but they were getting better and better, and Li Xiao didn't feel anxious at all, and he didn't think it was because the film was not starting well.

It is a good thing to see progress and things are developing in a better direction.

It was still usable twice, but it could be better. Li Xiao stretched his waist and stretched his hands back after quickly browsing the contents of the monitor, as if he had touched someone, and subconsciously turned his head to look back.

"Fuck!"

Li Xiao almost fell to the ground, and leaned back. Fortunately, the chair was not high, and his hands supported the ground so he didn't fall down.

The first thing she saw when she turned her head was Fengmei's smiling face, which became even weirder.

Seeing the little brother was startled, Feng Mei played in time, and quickly restrained herself, returning to her normal smile.

Li Xiao stood up, patted Fengmei's head, the shock was gone, and she was quite happy.Fengmei can get out of her emotions so quickly, which proves that she is not the kind of deep experience school, and has her own acting skills.

Unexpectedly, at such a young age, I have already pondered so much.

"I thought you were going back."

Li Xiao said something warmly, then glanced at Han Yuan who was holding back a smile, "You still don't go back, what are you doing here?"

Han Yuan didn't dare to talk back, but he still laughed out loud, and after running to the other side to avoid Li Xiao's beating, he was a little annoyed that he didn't record the brother almost falling just now.

Fengmei made a face at Li Xiao, shook her hair, Li Xiao put her hands on the ground, and put all the sand on her head, how stingy!
The on-site personnel walked around and walked to the indoor shooting location not far away. Li Xiao walked up to Teacher Jin and waved to Chen Yong, "You guys are in a great state just now, keep it up, and we will reshoot this scene tomorrow night .”

The dawn is about to dawn, and the scene with a little light is naturally the most suitable time to shoot at five or six o'clock in the morning, but Li Xiao feels that there is no need to work so hard, so he deliberately chooses that point. After that point, it is impossible to shoot a scene and then go back If you are sleeping, you have to continue filming, which will cause great fatigue to the actors and crew.

After speaking, Li Xiao took the lead and walked in the front. It's not like he didn't feel that the two of them were in a low state, but this is what actors need to overcome. One has a dream and the other has experience, so they won't be defeated so easily.

It's not yet the point where he needs to be enlightened.

Indoor shots, soon to start shooting.

The room was shabby and dilapidated, the surroundings were dirty and hard to see, and blood was everywhere.

The center is covered with a large white canvas, and what is covered inside is unknown, but the shape can be roughly seen, and it seems to be a person.

Around the white cloth, several men were holding baseball bats and iron bars.

Looking carefully, a pair of bloody feet were exposed at the edge of the white cloth, and suddenly moved, several men became nervous, as if they were facing a big enemy, they all tightened their weapons and prepared to attack .

Teacher Jin shouted: "Head, you're going to blow your head away, a bunch of idiots, how many times do I have to say it?"

While speaking, Teacher Jin held a doll bear in his hand, tore off the photo hanging on the bear's neck, and said such terrifying words, even with a little smile on his face, which made people shudder.

"Is your head filled with water?"

She cursed again, turned and walked out of the room.

Then, several men swung their weapons vigorously at the white cloth, one stick after another, one stick after another, and blood flowed out from under the white cloth.

"Crack."

This is the first scene of indoor filming, Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's over."
