I'm not just a director

Chapter 7 Shooting

"Ka, Aunt Zhang, you need to be more gossiping, like talking bad things behind your back.

It is the expression and state of yours when someone walks past you when you are sitting at the head of the village knitting sweaters every day. "

"Aunt Li, you too, when you speak, look around ahead of time, and have the feeling that you are afraid that others will find out."

"Jiang Peijian hit the board, let's continue!"

"All departments prepare!"

"The actors are in place!"

"start!"

The set of "An Angry Husband Fights a Smart Daughter-in-law".

Standing behind the DV camera, Jiang Pei'an yelled at the people on the field from time to time.

After Jiang Pei'an borrowed DV cameras from Wang Xingxing, the crew was completely set up.

The supporting roles are all drawn from the village, and the pay is two eggs for each scene.

Just after the new year, there is no work in the field, it is the slack time for farming.

Hearing that Jiang Pei'an was going to make a TV series, everyone in the village rushed over to watch the excitement.

Jiang Pei'an specially arranged for the male protagonist Li Shouguo and the female protagonist Wang Hong to shoot more than one episode in front of everyone.

The rural entertainment methods are very scarce, and the villagers feel very rare about the TV series made by Jiang Pei'an.

Taking advantage of the strong interest of the big guys, Jiang Pei'an directly proposed to recruit group performers.

At the beginning, the big guys were shy and reluctant to show their faces.

When Jiang Pei'an proposed a reward of two eggs per person for a scene, everyone immediately flocked to it.

Anyway, idle is idle, it is better to earn some eggs.

Don't underestimate the two eggs. In the countryside in 1999, eggs were not served on the table unless it was a holiday.

Of course, if someone in the family is sick or has a baby, they will also eat eggs as nutrients...

Considering that it is tape shooting, it is not as cheap as a digital video camera.

Jiang Pei'an asked the selected group performers to memorize their lines, and then practiced their proficiency through private acting.

Jiang Pei'an handed over the job of staring at the group and acting in a play to his younger brother Jiang Peijian.

Therefore, following the post of "literary consultant", Jiang Peijian added the tasks of "associate director" and "scene recorder".

Amazing at such a young age!

Twenty episodes of folk ditties, neither too long nor too short.

Due to the simplicity of the scene, there is almost no way of serving the film. Except for the running-in of the first week, the subsequent shooting progress has been significantly accelerated.

The filming is expected to be completed within a month.

"Okay, click!"

"Jiang Peijian, send Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li's eggs to them, change the scene!"

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Pei'an rushed to the next shooting location with the DV.

The little brother handed over the four eggs to the hands of the two extras.

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li laughed from ear to ear holding the eggs, earning two eggs in two hours.

Blood earned!
……

"Uncle Li, the crippled husband you played is still optimistic despite being angry.

So you have to keep a smile on your face all the time, why are you happy?Because you married a beautiful wife!

Your smile should bring a little bit of your character.

What are your character traits?When he smiles, he has two big dies, giving people a feeling of sluggishness. "

Jiang Pei'an was speaking to Li Shouguo with the script.

Many opera actors of the older generation are illiterate, but how should they memorize operas with thousands of words?

Listen more, think more, remember more.

As long as the tune and melody are together, the libretto can be spoken smoothly.

A very simple example, when most audiences listen to a play, they know what the actors are singing without subtitles.

Even some fanciers can point out the mistakes in the actors' libretto.

This is listening more, practice makes perfect!
Li Shouguo listened carefully to Jiang Pei'an's lecture, and raised some doubts from time to time.

Wang Hong next to her was holding a script and memorizing her lines. She graduated from elementary school and knew most of the words in the script.

"Okay, let's go through the show."

After closing the script, Jiang Pei'an stood up and said.

"Remember to bring movements, the singing part must have body movements.

Uncle Li, your expression must be in place, and Aunt Wang, you will play by the side. "

"Good director."

Li Shouguo entered the state, with a signature movement on his face, obscene.

"Cripple, I'm happy today, I married a wife named Meili.

How beautiful is beauty?Hehe~ Take off your clothes and go to bed! "

Standing beside him, Jiang Pei'an couldn't stop nodding. After all, he was an actor with stage experience.

Different from TV dramas, folk ditties emphasize pomp and force in their performances.

It is similar to drama, but different in form.

Therefore, the stage performance experience of the actors in the troupe is also applicable to folk songs.

Wang Hong enters:

"Marrying a cripple makes me angry and curses at my old man.

You gambled and lost your own daughter... I will marry a husband who is ten years old! "

Wang Hong's acting skills were a bit inferior to Li Shouguo's, but she managed the feeling of being a shrew and cursing the street very well.

She had her hands on her waist, with anger and unwillingness on her face.

The actions and lines are very in line with the characters' personalities and have a sense of substitution.

In addition, she is good-looking and has a good figure.

Jiang Pei'an could even predict that after the minor tune was broadcast, she would scratch the heads of many old bachelors!

Nice, very nice!
"Okay, click! Very good, let's go straight to the shooting, remember your state just now.

Don't forget the action, come on, all departments are ready, start! "

Jiang Pei'an set up the machine and first took pictures of Li Shouguo.

……

The filming went very smoothly. Since both of them are opera actors, there is no need for dubbing for the singing part.

Sofa's radio effect is not bad, and before leaving, Wang Xingxing sent a radio microphone over.

Basically the acoustic vocals don't need to be dealt with much.

Later, with the accompaniment of erhu, sheng, flute and other instruments, the minor tune was formed.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Wang, I want to discuss something with you."

After filming, Jiang Pei'an took the initiative to find the two of them.

"Director, what are you talking about?"

Wang Hong said with a smile, and Li Shouguo nodded beside him.

"That's right, can I borrow some musical instruments from our troupe, such as the erhu flute.

You also know that we are a folk ditty, and we definitely need the cooperation of musical instruments in the later production.

Of course, I won't embarrass the two of you, I can rent the musical instruments of the theater troupe, and it won't be in vain. "

Jiang Pei'an said to the two of them.

"What's the matter with me, director, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter, you don't need to pay a penny!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Hong turned around and left, going to the troupe to "discuss" about borrowing musical instruments.

"Is Aunt Wang so easy to speak in the troupe?"

Looking at Wang Hong's leaving back, Jiang Pei'an asked suspiciously.

"His husband is the head of the Bang Opera Troupe."

Li Shouguo said.

Jiang Pei'an was very surprised and said:
"I remember that the head of the Bang Opera Troupe must be over 50? How old is Aunt Wang, in her early thirties?"

"He was married twice."

Li Shouguo said silently.

Jiang Pei'an took a puff of cigarette and thought to himself:
This story is purely fictitious, any similarity is purely coincidental!

　Brothers, happy Lantern Festival, please collect it
