I'm not just a director

Chapter 31 Difficult Shooting

I have to say that the finale of "Ghost Story" is quite a challenge for both Qin Hao and Hu Jing.

Until 12 o'clock in the morning, the two of them didn't feel sleepy at all, and they still listened to Jiang Pei'an's dispatch conscientiously.

Uncle Guan knew that the three of them were going to play a night show today, so he simply didn't leave, and stayed in the villa to help the three of them turn on the lights.

While Jiang Pei'an was teaching the play to the two of them, he went to boil a pot of chicken soup.

The early spring in Beijing is still a bit cold, especially at night.

A bowl of hot chicken soup really warms the body a lot.

"One of the three endings has been completed, although Qin Hao's performance can be integrated into the other two endings through post-editing.

But since it is shot in the form of a pseudo-documentary, the audience must have a real feeling.

Both NG and follow-up shots will destroy this sense of reality, so Qin Hao will have to help Hu Jing in the scene later, which is hard work. "

Jiang Pei'an said while holding the storyboard script.

Qin Hao nodded while holding the chicken soup, and said:

"I know the director."

Hu Jing is the thinnest of the three. When she performed, she was only wearing a pajamas. At this time, she was wrapped in a quilt and shivering from the cold.

The early part of the ending of the three versions is the same.

It was the heroine who got up from the bed and stood by the bed staring at the sleeping hero until three o'clock in the morning.

Then she walked out of the room and screamed in the dark, and the male lead hurried downstairs to check...

The difference is that the heroine behaves differently when she pushes the door and comes in.

Therefore, Hu Jing has to present three different performance states and forms for the ending.

This is quite a challenge for her.

"Director, in fact, the three endings all have a common feature. The heroine is possessed, right?"

Hu Jing hid under the quilt with her head exposed, and there was blood on her delicate face that hadn't been wiped off, making her look coquettishly beautiful.

This is Jiang Pei'an's own blood plasma, and the effect is very realistic.

Since it was shot at night, professional props and blood were basically not needed under dim lighting conditions.

The method of making is also very simple, put an appropriate amount of edible red coloring into the container and add warm water and mix well.

Then add honey to increase the viscosity, basically on it.

This is a more common method of making plasma in later generations. It can also be used if it needs to touch the actor's mouth and spit out blood from the mouth.

However, crews usually put the plasma in capsules or "blood bags" and let the actors hold it in their mouths first.

When the right time comes, let the actor bite the blood bag, let the blood flow out of the mouth, or directly spray it out.

Of course, there are also crews who are too lazy to use plasma props, trying to get away with post-packaging.

I won’t go into details here, because… there are too many!

Most of the film and television dramas of later generations are going further and further on the road of being worse...

Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:
"The endings of the other two versions are easy to say. You have to pay attention to the two scenes of cutting your throat and committing suicide in front of the camera and making faces at the camera. It is a test of your performance."

"I know the director."

Hu Jing nodded solemnly.

Jiang Pei'an started to explain to Hu Jing the key points and difficulties of the two ending performances.

After the break, the three resumed work.

"Hu Jing, pay attention to your expression, your eyes should be empty and numb, it's not a grimace, it's a state of real madness.

You want to scare the audience, not amuse the audience! "

"Start again! Hu Jing, pay attention to your position, you can hardly be seen in the camera, is there anything next door that attracts you?!"

"Hu Jing, can you do it! Have you returned everything that China Opera taught you?!"

"Crack, come back!"

Although Jiang Pei'an usually gives everyone the impression that he always smiles and is very easy-going.

But once in the filming state, the whole person will start to "care about everything" and turn into a tyrant on the set every minute!
……

The last ending, two hours have not finished filming.

This has a lot to do with Hu Jing's acting status, Jiang Pei'an has tried his best to tell the show.

She even went up to the scene to demonstrate in person, but Hu Jing's performance was still not satisfactory.

Fortunately, she was not a pampered person. Although she was shivering from the cold, she still gritted her teeth and persisted.

"I know the director, come again!"

This type of film is not Hu Jing's forte, but she also shows a strong professional quality and resilience.

Even Qin Hao who was on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and tried to make Jiang Pei'an stop many times.

But after glancing at Jiang Pei'an who was in a "furious" state, he immediately stopped this stupid behavior.

It's terrible, hold my little quilt tightly...

"Okay! Click!"

After Hu Jing's performance was over again, Jiang Pei'an let out a click in satisfaction.

But she didn't seem to hear it, she still maintained the state before Jiang Pei'an yelled Ka.

His eyes are dull, his expression is numb, and he looks like a walking dead.

Jiang Pei'an glanced at her, put the quilt over her body, and started watching the replay with the DV.

"That's right, this performance finally showed that lifeless feeling, it's over!"

"It's finally over!"

Qin Hao let out a heavy breath.

The three of them started filming at seven o'clock until now...

He looked down at the time, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

"Director, Hu Jing's status..."

Qin Hao looked at Hu Jing who was still sitting in front of the table, feeling a little worried.

"It's okay, it's time to enter the show, let her clean up her emotions by herself, and it will be fine later."

Jiang Pei'an said calmly.

It sounds very mysterious for actors to enter the play.

In fact, the actor is completely immersed in the emotions, thoughts and actions of the character when performing the role.

So as to forget self-awareness and external interference, so as to better resonate with the characters.

In this state, the actor can more realistically express the emotions and behavior of the character.

It can also make it easier for the audience to be infected and understood by the characters.

For example, Chen Xiaoxu who played the role of Lin Daiyu in the 83 version of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

In the play, because she is too involved in the play, her every move in life reveals the shadow of Lin Daiyu.

And the whole person was in a depressed state of mind for a long time, and even exposed the news of becoming a monk.

This is considered a relatively serious situation. Like Hu Jing, she just enters the state emotionally, and it won't take long for her to quit by herself.

Qin Hao nodded half-understood. He only heard the acting teacher mention it in class.

Anyway, when he was performing, he never had such an experience.

Speaking of which, I am somewhat envious...

However, soon he shook his head in fear, they were filming a horror movie.

Why do you want to resonate with A Piao? It's too scary!

Sure enough, Jiang Pei'an's guess was right, and Hu Jing came out not long after.

"Remember your state when you performed tonight, and you can use it when you play other roles in the future."

Jiang Pei'an exhorted.

"I know the director."

Hu Jing nodded, she was tortured by Jiang Pei'an the most tonight.

But at the same time gain the most!

"Everyone has worked hard tonight, rest early, and we will start shooting again at 02:30 tomorrow afternoon."

After asking the two to have a good rest, Jiang Pei'an left the room...
