Chapter 200

It’s pitiful to say, but in the script, the protagonist He Wei as the accident assessor of the insurance company is the best advertisement placement.

Insurance companies have always been rich, and they will spend a lot of money on advertisements. In addition, Li Tang, the actor of He Wei, is becoming popular with the hit of "Swordsman", so he originally planned to sell it for a good price.As a result, He Wei, a staff member of the insurance company in the script, falsified the insurance policy and defrauded the insurance policy, which was unacceptable to the insurance company.

It's impossible to change the script, and you can only watch the best ad placement go to waste.

The crew worked on the set for about an hour, and when the lunch was delivered, many people actually exclaimed when they opened the lunch box.On weekdays, the boxed lunch is usually a large meat and a small meat plus two cooked vegetables without oil and water, but today Lao Li arranged a rather out-of-the-way (generous) meal, a piece of straw-stuffed meat with thick oily red sauce, six saltwater-based shrimps, and extra Stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.And besides the lunch box, come and bring over a big pot, which contains steaming bone kelp soup.

"Boss, eat."

Zeng Jia didn't come today, so the driver Shen Lin temporarily acted as an assistant, took a small foldable table from the car, brought over a box of lunch, and made a bowl of soup.

"Master Shen, come and eat together."

The table is not big, but enough for two people to eat.

"It's okay, boss, you eat, I'll just put it over there and eat it."

Shen Lin was always very restrained, and pointed to the place where the field workers gathered.

"Oh, thank you!"

Li Tang didn't force it.

Everyone has their own comfort zone, and you may feel that it’s a shame to give others face, but in fact, people may not be willing to accept it, on the contrary, they feel uncomfortable with you.At this time, you don't have to force it, and don't think that others don't know how to flatter you, you have to know how to think in another way.This is how people get along with each other.

Cheng Er came over with a boxed lunch. Although he had experience in filming "Criminal" before, Cheng Er was a little nervous on the first day of the filming.When he was preparing just now, he checked everything carefully.

"Brother Li, is it almost there?"

Li Tang glanced at the scene. In fact, the auto repair shop that Sun Li led before was almost set up. The preparation work just now was just to adjust the lighting and adjust the camera position, and then add a few props.

"Well, it's almost there. Oh, don't forget to include the entrance of the factory in the filming later. This is also our first commercial placement in this film."

"what?"

Cheng Er was puzzled.

Li Tang smiled and told Cheng Er what Boss Qian of the auto repair shop had just said.

Cheng Er immediately said excitedly: "This is completely fine, and a close-up can also be added."

Hey, Li Tang was quite surprised, he didn't expect Cheng Er to be so easy to talk to today.

"Aren't you forced?"

"Not at all forced."

Cheng Er shook his head and said: "He Wei is an accident evaluator of an insurance company, and he was originally dealing with auto repair shops, so there is no conflict with the plot."

"That's good, I'm still worried that you won't agree."

Cheng Er sighed and said nothing.

The movie has just started, but the money spent has already exceeded 80 million, which puts a lot of pressure on him.

Li Tang glanced at him, and could only comfort him: "It's okay, as long as the movie is done well."

Cheng Er nodded, but suddenly thought of something while eating, so he sat down with artist Sun Li and photographer Wang Yu with the lunch box in hand to discuss it.

Li Tang picked up the boxed lunch, and had to say that the boxed lunch that Lao Li arranged today made him feel good.Dishes are on the one hand, on the other hand rice is also delicious.As soon as you eat it, you can tell that it is freshly milled rice from the local area. It tastes particularly fragrant and glutinous. Unlike the boxed lunches outside, in order to reduce costs, all old rice is used.

After eating, tidying up, hurry up and get ready to start shooting.

In order to achieve a realistic effect, Cheng Er asked the actors to keep no makeup all the way, at most, to absorb the oil on the face to prevent reflections.

"Okay, everyone is ready... 3, 2, 1, start!"

Li Tang stood in front of the camera, playing with a harmonica in his hand, and parked behind him was his second-hand Ford Taurus, which had a bright appearance but was old inside.Because he accidentally hit a little girl and broke the windshield last time, he drove to the auto repair shop to fix the car.

In the background, a car mechanic is holding a vacuum cleaner to carefully suck up the glass debris that fell on the hood after the broken windshield was removed.

Li Tang turned his head casually and saw a tattered pickup truck parked beside him. Out of professional habit, he walked over to have a look.

The pickup truck was puttyed in several places. It was obviously an accident car. The hood was open. The most conspicuous thing was that a headlight fell out, and there was only a wire connected to it, hanging dangling from the front of the car.

Li Tang squatted down and looked at it with great interest. He probably felt that the car was worthless, so he stood up dully.

At this time, two car repairers walked past him carrying a new windshield, and his eyes followed the two car repairers and turned to look at his car.

"stop!"

"The master on the left, please don't look at the camera!"

Cheng Er's classmate, the executive director of the film crew in charge of directing the scene was a little out of breath, but he had to shout politely.

There is no way that the group performers are the employees of the auto repair factory, and they are obliged to help.But it was the first time for them to face the camera, and they were fine in rehearsal just now, but when the machine was turned on, their movements were inevitably distorted due to nervousness, and they couldn't control their eyes to look in the direction of the camera.

From this point of view, there is no doubt that this article will be scrapped, and other things are not counted, and the film alone costs a few hundred dollars.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The buddy hurriedly bowed and apologized.

Although this buddy is a foreigner, he is always a fellow in the village here.Li Tang saw that he was too nervous, so he turned his head and smiled at him, "I'll be in your way for a while, when you come over, give way a little bit, and then pass like this."

Nervousness stems from lack of variety, from caring too much.If Li Tang blocked it, they would walk around in front of the camera, distracted and naturally have no time to look at the camera because of nervousness.

"Okay, thank you little boss!" The buddy nodded gratefully at Li Tang.

Although it is still voluntary to help, Boss Qian said that there will be rewards for performing well.Moreover, he is still making a movie with Li Tang who plays Linghu Chong. If he really wants to see himself in a movie in the future, he will definitely be able to brag for a lifetime.

"Okay, come again... 3, 2, 1, start!"

There was no problem with this one, and it was shot smoothly.

But Cheng Er looked at the monitor screen and didn't shout for a long time.

Li Tang was a little impatient, and he murmured, "If it doesn't work, just make another one."Of course, the director's authority must be respected at the scene, so he didn't say a word.

It took a while to see Cheng Er raised his head, and said with a troubled face: "Brother Li, save one more."

Guaranteed to be tactful, but in fact, this one is not good, and there is another one.

Just now Cheng Er was hesitating, and Li Tang himself was also pondering.This scene is not a major scene, there is not a single line, it is just a cutscene, the car breaks down and goes to the auto parts factory for repair, and then accidentally sees Lin Mo's broken pickup, it is destined.

There is only one sentence in the script.What is needed now is the secondary creation of actors.

Although Cheng Er admired Lou Ye very much, his style was fundamentally different from Lou Ye's.Lou Ye is used to holding the camera, giving the actors full freedom, allowing you to play to your heart's content, but the final film may not be used at all, or only a small section or even a few seconds of the footage may be intercepted.

And Cheng Er is used to fixed shots, and before the shooting starts, including the actors' positions, they must be strictly limited.In this way, the control over the camera is obtained, but it also limits the performance of the actors.

Li Tang pondered how to reflect the professional characteristics of the characters within a limited range.Because there is a narration accompanying this shot to introduce the profession of the protagonist He Wei.

In fact, for this scene, Li Tang had already made preparations, including the harmonica he was playing in his hand, which was a prop he specially prepared to prevent the scene from being too monotonous.

"Everyone, get ready...start!"

Li Tang was playing with the harmonica in the camera. When he turned his head and saw the pickup, he put away the harmonica and walked over. The camera moved with him and gave a close-up of the pickup.

Previously, Li Tang acted by squatting down to look carefully at the pickup truck's site and the falling headlights, but now he changed his performance, instead of squatting down, he first looked at the engine of the front of the car. Then I bent down and picked up the fallen headlight and tried to install it. After several times, it seemed to be stuck, but when I let go, the headlight fell off again, and only a wire was connected to the side of the front of the car. rock.

Li Tang patted the dust off his hands, and took out the harmonica from his trouser pocket to play with.At this time, the two buddies walked over with the windshield lifted, and he turned to the side to get out of the way, and then followed them to look at his car.

"Stop, it's over!"

This time Cheng Er yelled very readily, raised his head at the same time, and gave Li Tang a thumbs up.

On the surface, this scene is Li Tang's unintentional action while waiting for the car to be repaired in the auto repair shop, so as to reflect the character's professional characteristics, and at the same time have a connection with Lin Mo's pickup.

But at a deeper level, he didn't know what Cheng Er wanted.As an actor, all he can do is to give the director a variety of options to find the picture the director wants.

"Brother Li, do you want to take a break?" the executive director asked.

Although this buddy is Cheng Er's classmate, sometimes the ages of the director department students are very different. For example, Cheng Er was in [-], and this buddy was in [-], two years older than Li Tang.But that's how it is in the show business circle, those who are successful come first, and he has to call "Brother Li" to Li Tang.

Li Tang waved his hands and said, "Go ahead and shoot."

After the intensive tempering of "Swordsman", this is where it is.

Next is a car wash scene. Li Tang fell asleep in the car. The car came out of the automatic car wash. He didn't wake up until the car behind him honked the horn. He quickly started the car and drove it out.

It is also a cutscene scene, reflecting from the side that He Wei, played by Li Tang, is under a lot of work pressure, and it is this kind of pressure that caused him to bump into a little girl who just got out of school because of distraction while driving.

"Stop, okay, it's over."

Although the lens was simple, it took five or six shots before Cheng Er yelled.
