I'm the director, I'm not bad

curved.

"OK, not bad, Shishi has worked hard."

Jay Chou looked at the footage in front of the monitor, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he said to everyone:

"That's it for today, it's ok. There are still the last two days, everyone work hard, and finally we have a perfect curtain call. Alright, the rest of the work is done. Those who filmed today have a quick meal and go to the recording studio after dinner .”

Hearing this, Liu Zhishi breathed a sigh of relief, handed the water cup to the assistant, and started walking to the dressing room, ready to remove makeup.

Pandaren is almost done.Her role is finally almost finished.

But this time she came to shoot in Wanwan, in all honesty, she really gained knowledge.It turns out that TV shows can still be shot like this.

First of all, Jay will find someone to prepare several BGMs for different scenes in advance, such as sad, happy, emotional and so on.Then shoot according to the number of episodes.

After shooting one episode, move on to the next one.

And the finished clips are directly sent to the editing company for editing. After the editing, the soundtrack, dubbing, and then sent to the TV station for broadcast.4 episodes a week.

This is the first time Liu Zhishi has seen such efficiency.

At the beginning, I was a little worried about the quality of the finished film.

However, after the screening, I found that the ratings of "Pandaren" were not bad, so I didn't worry about it.In all honesty, Jay is quite childlike.

This show is also a subcontract, but wouldn't it be inappropriate to add some love elements to it?She asked the crew about this question.

In the end, what the crew got was the response of "the children are very mature now".Ok.

Magic curved scale standard.

But what if this play is sold in the mainland?

As she became familiar with the role of Jiang Xiaoyu, some things that she didn't have began to wander in her mind.

As far as the plot is concerned, it is actually quite naive.

After all, she followed up the dubbing episode by episode, so she naturally watched all the TV series currently filmed.

I found that the plot of this drama is the kind of plot that faces children at a very young age. A good person is a good person, and a bad person is a bad person.As far as the plot is concerned, this drama is at most PG13.

teenage audience.

But if it is placed in China, there are many adults in the domestic fans.Can adults accept this kind of drama?

This is the doubt that has been brewing in her heart these days.

But she couldn't tell, because Jay said that the show's rights to broadcast in the mainland had already been sold.Then she was saying nothing.

Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, she closed her eyes and felt the makeup remover oil applied to her face by the makeup artist, and began to count the days in her heart.Honey is going on the 4th.

I am also on the 4th.

That being said, it seems that He and Mimi are going to miss it again.Tsk.

He also said that they had a secret drink together.Regardless of the kind of baby.

What about Xu Xin?Hawthorn should have started filming, right?How is Liu Yifei's preparations?

I heard Mimi say that her acting skills are a bit reborn. Strange, how did she do it?Just because of those few months of losing contact?
Experience, observe, and imitate. I always feel that the method school seems to be difficult.

Just as I was thinking, a voice sounded beside me:
"Shishi, what do you want to eat tonight?"

She didn't open her eyes, but she knew it was Li Minnian, so she said, "Just eat something, brother Li."

Because she is a Muslim, she never gets to eat with the crew.Not even some roasted duck rice.So Li Minnian and his assistant are responsible for her diet.

And after she finished speaking, she thought Li Minnian had already left.But after waiting for a while, I heard the other party continue to say: "After No. 4 is finished, we have to go to Shanghai."

"..what?"

Liu Zhishi, who didn't even open her eyes, said suspiciously: "Is it "Weird Hero Yizhimei"?Not in Hengdian? "

"It's not this script, it's another one. Mr. Cai found another script for you, and it's also the protagonist. So this time we're going to read the script!"

Li Minnian's voice sounded quite excited.But Liu Zhishi was a little speechless
The filming date of "Weird Hero Yizhimei" has been set. April 4th.

The starring is myself and Huo Jianhua.

How did Huo Jianhua come back? Liu Zhishi doesn't know. After all, according to her understanding, Huo Jianhua can still come back after everything has become like this
Although the real reason is not clear, she prefers to trust her intuition.

That is. Huo Jianhua's company is not very strong. After leaving Tangren, he has no other ability to expand business.In Mimi's words:

"It's normal, no one will have trouble with money. After all, what everyone is looking for is development." "Huh?

Why do I keep thinking about things of this level recently?

Sure enough, that woman Yang Mi is too scary.

Lead me astray.

Temporarily putting Huo Jianhua's matter behind her, she realized that after "Pandaren" was finished, she only had a week's rest except for the day when she left the crew, and she sighed helplessly:
"It's short. Ugh."

After realizing it, she realized that Brother Li said just now that she had to go to the company. 7 days is reduced by one day.

what! !what! ! ! !
What are you doing~~~what~~~~~~
Speechless, she struggled on the stool to twist and twist the emotions of the strike, and said helplessly, "What drama? How long will it take?"

The shooting time of "Weird Man Yizhimei" is about 45 to 50 days.I guess it will be June.

What kind of fairy script is this?
I want to rest, I want to drink, I want to go on vacation! ! !Mimi also said that she invited me to go there this year. Langlangri?It seems like such a holiday, right?
It is said that I am going to Miami, where I can enjoy the sun, the beach, and the shameless vacation life in the dark!I really want to go out and play! ! ! !
Li Minnian's voice sounded:

"I don't know about that either. The company didn't elaborate. Anyway, there are still two days left. We'll know when we get there."

In order to get rid of the title of "Liu Yifei's cousin" as soon as possible.Ok!

Fight!

After completing the psychological construction for herself, she became full of vitality again.

but
A word flowed silently from the bottom of her heart: "I hope it's a good story."

Let me experience the feeling of concentrating on preparing for a role for a few months, or even a year or two, like Mimi or Liu Yifei.

Having experienced Mimi’s seriousness in her works, and listening to what she learned about Liu Yifei’s transformational changes from Xu Xinna during these few phone calls, she has never been so eager for a work that can make her devote all her heart and soul. To climb the peak.

Even if she sinks like this, if she can bring an impressive role to the audience after burning herself out, she will not hesitate!

Throughout the whole day, if Liu Yifei's performance was to be described in one sentence, then Xu Xin's evaluation would be: "superior first-class level."

She really grasped the role of Jingqiu.She is Jingqiu.

Every move is Jingqiu's appearance.

As long as she appears in the camera, it gives people a feeling that they can't move their eyes.Not to mention Xu Xin, even the old man kept nodding.

During this day, he watched all the relevant scenes on the spot.Even he felt qualified.

No, what I'm shooting now is the scene of showing a movie at night.

Originally, the original book here was about watching a play, but Xu Xin felt that the plot tension of watching a play was not as strong as watching a movie, so he changed it.And the movie he chose is about the relationship between the warrior Amir and the real

Fake Gulandam's story "The Guest on the Iceberg". 64 years of film, just in line with the times.

At the same time, the love story between Amir and Gulandam is also touching enough.

It is more suitable to be used as the tone of the somewhat ambiguous emotional line between Jingqiu and the third child than opera.And in order to make this scene less abrupt, he even asked brother Qian'er specifically.

I learned that at that time, many things in the Quyi industry were also regarded as the "Four Olds". Everyone dared not sing the classic passages of the past, but they were all singing "New Peking Opera".

So if you really follow the original book, it's really not appropriate.

But there is a difficulty in this play, and that is the Tajik folk song "Why Are Flowers So Red".Xu Xin's plan was to pat some innocent faces and hum along.

Captain Zhang beat people with a stick because a few young people in the village were so excited about singing that they stood up and directed everyone to sing along.

Captain Zhang beat the young people and told them to sit down and not block the villagers behind them from watching the movie.

Moreover, the song "Why Are Flowers So Red" has a bright red color, which echoes the scene in the original book where Jing Qiu participated in the school's "Literary Thought Reporting Performance" in order to stay in school.

The two young people sang red songs, and there was a little ambiguity between them.

The dark square gave the two of them the greatest cover. At the same time, although they were singing a popular song, the opening lines of "Why Are Flowers So Red" can transform the little daughter's psychology naturally and vividly.

It was very fitting for him.But the requirements are relatively high.

The first is the song, and the villagers must be able to sing.And sing naturally in front of the camera.

Then there is the capture of on-site light, and how to arrange these fellow villagers who have not participated in the film.It is not an easy task for amateurs to cooperate with the film crew.

But well.
In the hands of the chief executive, mobilizing everyone's emotions is a matter of grasping.In the working state, there is basically no such thing as social fear.

At this very moment, he was standing in front of the curtain, with the village head of Qinglong Village next to him.

"Everyone can sing normally for a while, and you don't need to shout your voice. Just sing along with the movie. Don't worry about the camera, you just watch the movie. This scene is shot by the camera from everyone's profile. I will ask for a little later.
The camera is here. "

He pointed to the side of the curtain:

"When we are shooting everyone, the movie will be shown simultaneously. Don't look at the camera, okay? Just watch the movie. Don't be too nervous. When the music starts, just sing along."

After he finished speaking, the village chief next to him said in half-familiar Mandarin:

"Everyone listens to the director, don't look at the camera, cooperate with the crew! Don't look! No one is allowed to look at the camera! Do you understand?" The three old and four young people who were selected in the village nodded in understanding.

But the nervousness was already visible on his face.

While he was speaking, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Mo, including a few students in the training class who unconsciously surrounded Zhang Yimou, heard Zhang Yimou's words:
"When he finishes speaking, you all go over and see how he handles this amateur scene. It will help you." Several people, including Zhang Mo, were a little stunned.

This.
Didn't you say how to deal with it?
It is to let the fellow villagers not look at the camera, and express themselves more naturally in front of the camera.Is there anything else?
As for Zhang Mo, although he was muttering in his heart, he still nodded and walked directly to Xu Xin who was about to end.When she moved, the others quickly followed.

When following the past, Xu Xin was already talking with Wang Lei and a few crew members.They heard Xu Xin say:
"Is the black box ready?" One of the directors nodded, "It's ready."

"Okay, let's install it. Director Wang will go straight in and shoot. After this scene is finished, everyone's close-ups will be easy to talk about in the next scene. Let's do it once, as long as we finish filming the most difficult scene, tonight It's almost over."

As he said that, he glanced at Zhang Mo, and then at the other people who followed him. He didn't say a word, but directly took the walkie-talkie to the back of the crowd, where the third child and Jing Qiu were.

Several people hurriedly followed.

Then I saw Xu Xin standing at the place where the cross was drawn under his feet, looked in the direction of the curtain, and said to the staff who operated the projector beside him:
"The light of the spotlight is being adjusted to be brighter."

Hearing this, the staff quickly turned up the brightness.

The scene of "Guest on the Iceberg" appeared, and it was shot on the curtain composed of white sheets. As the light intensified, the black and white lens began to blur and become somewhat distorted.

But Xu Xin squinted and stared at the side.

It wasn't until Wang Lei entered a small space covered by a black gauze curtain that Xu Xin held up the walkie-talkie and continued:
"Okay, lighting team, turn on the lights."

Following his order, several film shooting lights that had already been set up were turned on, and the dim and soft light shone on the auditorium area where these seats were seated with their own little horses.

The people who followed him suddenly had an illusion.
Because the light was too concentrated, they gradually couldn't see the position of the camera clearly.

Then Xu Xin himself walked into the auditorium, and after looking at the camera, he seemed to be sure of something, and instead of talking on the walkie-talkie, he walked directly to the side of the curtain again.

As a result, a group of people cheered and followed.

After arriving at the place, they heard Xu Xin say, "Director Wang, are you ready?"

With the cover of the night, Wang Lei, who looked like a sniper in an auspicious suit, said nothing, but stretched out a hand gesturing "OK" from under the black gauze curtain.

"Okay. Go clean up the scene and make sure that no one of our staff can be seen in Director Wang's camera." After he finished speaking to the crew next to him, several crew members ran out quickly.

Everyone is getting more and more confused. This seems quite normal.

It is nothing more than the preparations before the shooting.

Whether the lighting is good or the film curtain light is brightened, it’s just to hide the camera of director Wang Lei.To prevent everyone from glancing at the camera unconsciously for a while
Quite normal.

What does Director Zhang want us to see?
Just thinking about it, Xu Xin's voice sounded again:

"Come on, let's play the movie first, so that everyone can find out how it feels, folks, first follow the movie clips to familiarize yourself with the melody of this song, and if you can sing, just sing along!"

"Listen to the director, sing along with those who can sing!" The village chief began to yell again.

But before he yelled a few words, he was pulled away from the venue by the two field managers.The village chief wondered what this was for?

But as the projector played, the old movie had already started, and the melody of "Why Are Flowers So Red" came from the stereo.

At this time, people including Zhang Mo heard Xu Xin whisper, "Three, two, one, start shooting."

".???" "?????" What the hell?This is where it starts?

A group of people stood behind the camera and instinctively looked towards the auditorium.as expected.
Under the premise of abnormal shooting, these villagers were watching the somewhat distorted movie, and then started humming along with the music.

The singing of "Hua~er~why~this~like~red." was floating in the square.And some of these people were still talking and laughing.

from the director's point of view
Natural mess!
There is no trace of performance, even if it is requested by the director and the village head, but from their perspective, the filming has not started at the moment, and the director is just letting everyone get familiar with the rhythm of the song.

Therefore, their truest side was revealed instead. "Hey~~~It looks like it's red~"

"It's red like a burning fire~~~" "Hey~~~~~Red! It's~good! Like~"

"It symbolizes pure friendship and love~~~~love~~~~" Some people can't remember the lyrics, it doesn't matter.

Someone forgets the tune, and that's okay.

Anyway, there are subtitles on the curtain, and everyone can lip-sync.

The most natural expression, the most natural expression of emotion, in this song, which can be said to be familiar to almost everyone in the entire celestial dynasty, was completely recorded by Wang Lei in the camera.

In total, it was sung twice.

After singing it twice, Xu Xin walked directly into the tent next to the monitor.As soon as he walked to the tent, he saw Zhang Yimou sitting in front of the monitor.

Everyone saw that before Xu Xin opened his mouth, Director Zhang spoke:

"The second pass is much better than the first pass. If you want to edit, the emotion is the most sincere at the beginning of the first pass, and then it can be mixed."

now everyone understands
Director Zhang knew what Director Xu was going to do from the very beginning.Then I saw Director Xu grinning happily:
"Oh, I see."

After the voice fell, he raised the walkie-talkie:

"This is over, let the actors prepare to appear on stage."

Not to mention Zhang Mo, Guo Fan and others who followed Xu Xin.

Others also suddenly reacted. What?
Already finished filming?
No. No, it hasn't started yet!
Looking back at the students of the training institute, Zhang Yimou thought for a while, and then simply spoke louder, and said to Zhang Mo and these postgraduate students:

"His idea is actually a kind of idea of ​​making a living. Most people can't think of such a trick to hide the world. But when we make movies, what we often want to capture the most is actually the expression of true feelings at that moment.

This was what he had in mind from the beginning.

Facing the camera, amateurs will feel nervous no matter what.In order to eliminate these tensions, many directors, some will invite group actors, and some will force these untrained people to shoot over and over again like a mock exam, and edit the clips they want through the accumulation of the number .

But for me, I always feel that this is inherently full of craftsmanship.

And the way he is using now is the accumulation of experience. After all, in the Olympic Games, he is doing a lot of psychological construction for the fighters who participated in our opening ceremony performance.But more, I think it's a talent.

In a flash of inspiration, from the thought to the implementation, a series of meticulous operations of the plan.He is a talent, not to mention ten people, there may not be one person with his talent in a hundred people.

If you want to learn, I don't recommend that you learn this way, because it might just be a mess.

But it is possible to record the handling of this group portrait scene.If you encounter this situation in the future, you may wish to set it out and try to see if it can be used.But don’t imitate the gourd painting.”

Speaking of this, the old man paused, looking at Xu Xin who was communicating with Liu Yifei and Lin Yuxin who had just finished a scene, his eyes were full of relief, and he uttered an extremely cruel sentence:

"Because you may not learn it."
