Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 55
Zhejiang Luqiao was originally called Old Garbage Bridge, because there is a garbage wharf next to the bridge.From the outside, the shape of the steel frame structure is very similar to the Waibaidu Bridge on the Bund.

In fact, the miniature Waibaidu Bridge built in Shanghai Film and Television Park is more like Zhejiang Road Bridge than Waibaidu Bridge.

When drinking morning tea last time, Li Tang just casually mentioned "Zhejiang Luqiao" to Cheng Er.It seems that this guy really came to guard the bridge. He probably thinks this bridge is really Shanghai-style, or he wants to take pictures of the more famous Waibaidu Bridge, but because of the heavy traffic there, he chooses the next best option. Zhejiang Luqiao, where there is little traffic.

This morning, the crew set up a battle at Zhejiang Luqiao.Making movies these days is relatively rare, especially when a group of young people are working here, and there are a lot of onlookers.

Fortunately, the local street heard that a group of Nortel students were going to make a short film about Shanghai, and they were very cooperative, and specially sent a team of urban management assistants to help maintain order.

The bridge deck has been cleared to ensure that there will be no crowds of onlookers in the camera, and everything is ready.

"Li Le, how much film do you have?" Cheng Er suddenly turned around and asked the photographer.

"There are two more."

"Let's take a real shot."

"Real shot...uh, good!"

Photographer Li Le was very excited.

A copy of Kodak 35mm film is 400 feet long, about 122 meters. According to the conventional 24fps, it can shoot for about 4 minutes. The price of a Kodak 35mm film is 1500 yuan.

For a film of 100 minutes, the cost-effectiveness ratio of a domestic film is about 1:8-1:15, that is to say, it takes 800 minutes-1500 minutes of material to shoot, so the cost of light film is as high as 30 50 to [-] or so.

The reason why Hu Tian’s occupation is designed as a photo studio owner in the short film is because this is a placement advertisement of Kodak, for which Kodak sponsored twenty 35mm films.

Twenty books, in principle, can be shot for 80 minutes, and the cost-effectiveness ratio is only a pitiful 1:2.In addition to careful planning, the actors have to rehearse first for each shooting. After everything is OK, the actual shooting starts. Li Le feels that he has no place to play.

"A real shot? OK, no problem."

The makeup artist is putting powder on Li Tang's bald head. Today's sun is very good and the light is bright. Put some powder on to prevent the shine on the bald head.

"All departments prepare!"

"Action!"

The arched bridge deck appears in the camera, and with the sound of footsteps, a bald head emerges from the bridge deck, then the whole face, and then the upper body.I saw him wearing a short black coat and carrying a big green bag. He looked nervous and walked in a hurry. He looked back from time to time for fear that someone would catch up with him.

When Li Tang fully stepped on the bridge, he made sure that no one was chasing him, he suddenly smiled, from the bottom of his heart, this was the first time he laughed in all the shots he took.

There is the pride of escaping from birth, and the helplessness of self-comfort.

"Cut!"

Cheng Er shouted to stop.

All eyes were on him, and after waiting for about half a minute, Cheng Er finally shouted: "Pass!"

A group of young students couldn't wait to cheer, only the photographer Li Le had an unsatisfactory expression on his face: "Just one pass?"

So far, all the scenes of "Criminal" have been completed!
After working for more than half a month, everyone was very excited to witness the birth of the work.

"Brother Li, you did a great job!"

"Brother Li, thank you!"

"Brother Li, we will keep in touch in the future, and we must call when we come to the capital!"

"Brother Li..."

Finishing youth means parting. These young people who are about to step out of school are all very emotional and innocent, and many of them show their true feelings.

Only Cheng Er stood silently by the side of the road. He was undoubtedly the core of the team, but because of his personality, everyone was not surprised.

"Li Le, wait a minute, I want to take another shot."

He suddenly called to Li Le who was packing up the equipment.

"What lens?"

Li Le ran over carrying the machine, and reminded at the same time: "There is only one film left."

"enough."

Cheng Er seemed to have a sudden inspiration, and called Li Tang again: "Brother Li, please make up the scene."

"What to shoot?"

"Just the nursery rhyme you hummed last time, I want to shoot it again." Cheng Er said.

"Just shoot here?"

Cheng Er looked at it and said, "Let's take pictures on the side of the road."

Li Tang didn't know what his intentions were, but when it comes to filming, the actors have to circle around the director's baton.

He asked again: "What is the state, is there a specific situation?"

As a result, Cheng Er shook his head and said directly: "Whatever!"

"..."

Since the director said whatever it is, then whatever it is.

Standing by the side of the road, Li Tang watched as Cheng Er discussed with the photographer Li Le, and the final result of the discussion was very simple, that is, he wanted a close-up of Li Tang's face.

"Action!"

Li Tang was just facing the camera, expressionless, and his tone was lazy and weak: "Pull it, pull it, pull it, I can't pull it out. The old man called the old woman to help him pull out the radish. The old woman called the little granddaughter, the little granddaughter Call it the little yellow dog..."

……

"Sister An, let me drive later." Li Tang said.

From Shanghai to Hengdian, except for the section to Hangzhou which is an expressway, the rest of the journey is a national highway.Naian drove an imported Nissan Bluebird. Don't look at her as a woman, she drives very fiercely, especially on the highway, and the speed often reaches more than [-] yards. Get old.No, as soon as he got off the expressway, he took the initiative to invite Ying. He had just driven a third of the way, and the national highway was full of people and vehicles, which was even more dangerous.

But Naian smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm not tired. Just take a nap for a while, maybe when you wake up, we'll already be in Hengdian."

"I can not sleep."

Sitting in her car, it was strange that Li Tang could sleep.

"If you can't sleep, just talk to me, lest I doze off while driving."

"Uh……"

Li Tang was really speechless.

Naian glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm just joking with you. Don't worry about me driving, I drove this car back from the capital alone."

Only then did Li Tang remember that this car was for taking pictures in the capital, and he felt a little relieved.

Originally, he wanted to report to the crew by himself, but Nai'an insisted on sending him, saying that it was to help him build momentum.Although it is a joke, it is not unreasonable to think about it.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon in the circle to favor the high and step down the low. If you have no background, you will easily be excluded.Especially now in many production crews dominated by Hong Kong and Taiwan, the situation of discriminatory treatment between Hong Kong and Taiwan artists and mainland actors is very serious, and unpleasant things happen from time to time.

In this regard, the crew of "Returning the Pearl" did a relatively good job. On the one hand, Auntie Qiongyao has cooperated with the mainland for filming very early, and the actors are not stick to one pattern. Mainland actors can still be the protagonists; on the other hand Most of the main creators behind the scenes are also from the mainland. There are so many people and great power. Even if someone wants to be a monster, they dare not put it on the bright side.

The crew they will go to today may not be sure, after all, most of the investors and the main creative team are from Hong Kong and Taiwan, so Naian is also worried.After all, she is well-known and her family background is not bad. It is somewhat important for her, the boss and manager, to accompany Li Tang into the group.
