The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 81 "Winter Sonata" Starts Up
At ten o'clock in the morning on March 2001, 3, the temperature in Harbin was one degree.

In an open space outside the suburbs, a group of people gathered at this time, all wearing thick down jackets.

This group of people is the members of the crew of "Winter Sonata", and they will hold the opening ceremony here.

In March in Harbin, the average nighttime temperature is minus nine degrees, and the average daytime temperature is three degrees.

It's colder today, the sky is covered with layers of overcast clouds, and I don't know if it's going to rain.

Everyone is freezing, but excited at the same time.

Needless to say, the actors of the crew have already obtained the script of "Winter Sonata".

The assistant director, set designer, prop maker, and field workers also went north early to make preliminary preparations for the shooting of "Winter Sonata".

Everyone is looking forward to this drama very much, and now it will be officially launched.

Li Shengyao was wearing a long down jacket, the hem of which had already reached his knees.

But outside, I still couldn't help shivering, it was too cold.

It is colder than the winter in Jinling.

But his heart is hot, and the white snow is like green banknotes in his eyes.

""Winter Sonata" is officially launched."

Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, "Winter Sonata" officially started. Li Shengyao gave red envelopes to the actors and crew, and then he was ready for the official shooting.

Because Yan Danchen has not yet fully entered the state of the heroine, and his emotions are not in place.

This time, he still planned to shoot the simple ones first, and then the difficult ones.

In the scene that started today, the hero and heroine are sitting around a wooden table drinking with a group of front-line workers in a wooden house.

The heroine never drinks, but she likes to deal with front-line workers.

In the eyes of the workers, she is a lovely, warm and kind person.

The male lead had misunderstood the female lead before, he thought the female lead was a lowly woman who loved to lie, it was this drink that made him understand that he had misunderstood the female lead.

The heroine of this scene is singing and laughing, and there is no need to show sadness.

Yan Danchen should be able to handle it.

This piece of open space was leased by the crew. These wooden houses and the surrounding equipment were built by the crew, pretending to be a ski resort.

After about 10 minutes of preparation, the venue was finally set up.

Then several group performers playing front-line workers came in.

Li Shengyao frowned immediately, "Where's the assistant director?"

The assistant director hurried over.

"Haven't you seen the passers-by on the streets of Harbin? What is the average height of men in Harbin? Working as a front-line worker in such a icy and snowy place, everyone must be a strong man. Find me these thin and small people What are you doing?"

These group performers are too short and too thin.

Li Shengyao looked at the assistant director, "If there is another time, you can leave the film crew."

The assistant director's face was pale, and he hurriedly indicated that he would rearrange.

It was easy to find strong men in the Northeast. Soon after, a few much stronger extras came. The assistant director changed their clothes, and they looked like front-line workers after makeup.

The table is already full of fruits, melon seeds, peanuts, Harbin beer, and boiled water.

Because the weather is cold, the boiling water is not very hot.

"Pour out the soup and pour a pot of hot water into it."

The prop master poured hot water, and the boiled water was indeed steaming, and it looked much hotter.

Li Shengyao nodded, although he asked the actors to sit down.

This time the heroine is sitting between the workers, and the hero is sitting diagonally across from her.

The heroine has short hair at this time, and the hero has brown hair.

When the actors were seated, Li Shengyao sat behind the director's monitor, and then he realized that something was wrong, he clapped his hands, "Lighting engineer, get out, don't stand next to the hero and heroine."

According to the plan of Liu Sheng and the lighting engineer, when filming, the hero and heroine are highlights, and there is a big whiteboard next to them, so that the skin of the hero and heroine appears white.

More than ten years later, mainland idol dramas like to shoot like this.

But the light is too close and too white, which almost blurs the facial features, and the faces of the male and female protagonists are all white and have no texture.

Li Shengyao didn't understand why the later mainland idol dramas like to do this.

They just open their eyes a little and see how people from the peninsula take pictures.

Idol dramas in the Korean circle seldom use head-on highlights. They like to set a strong light point in the distance, backlighting the hero and heroine, or sideways light, so that there will be shadows.

To take a photo, there must be texture and shadows, so that the picture can have fluctuations and chromatic aberrations.

It is actually a truth to look at beauties under the moon.

In less bright light, with shadows and ups and downs, women will look more beautiful.

After the lighting engineer withdrew, the brightness of the room was significantly lower.

In the plot, it is morning and the sun is shining.

Li Shengyao pointed to the small window of the wooden house, "I want to create a brightness where the sun shines in."

The lighting engineer nodded and immediately led the people to run out.

When the lighting engineer was ready, the wooden house was a little brighter.

Li Shengyao turned back and forth a few times, asked someone to replace the water in the boiling water with hot water, and after confirming that there were no other problems, he clapped his hands, "Very good, let's start shooting."

"The first shot of the sixth scene, let's start."

The actors immediately began to act, and the heroine was very happy with the workers, she stood up and sang.

Yan Danchen also learned a fast song, then stood up, swaying left and right like a little girl, and began to sing.

Others play along.

The only one whose expression changed at this time was the male protagonist.

"Yi Ting is a good girl, she never drinks and never tells lies."

The heroine of the Korean version is called Zheng Weizhen, which sounds like the name of the peninsula, and Li Shengyao changed it to Zheng Yiting.

This sentence was said by the worker uncle sitting next to the heroine.

After the uncle finished speaking, the hero realized that he had misunderstood the heroine.

At this time, there is an emotional expression, which needs to be zoomed in and close-up.

Zhao Yang deserves to be a talented actor, he did a great job.

Li Shengyao clapped his hands very satisfied, "Very good, do it twice."

It is impossible to go through it all at once, and he is not in a hurry, of course he has to see if there is any better performance in the future.

When Lee Sing Yew was filming, Guo Feili was sitting behind him.

There is no scene for her today, she just came to see how Li Shengyao was filming.

The filmmakers in Po Village all came from Hong Kong Island at the beginning. Naturally, they have the same style as those two places.

She hadn't filmed in the mainland before, but now seeing Lee Sing Yew being so strict and requiring so many details, she couldn't help feeling that the big country director is amazing.

No wonder many seniors say that the mainland is not easy to mix.

She thought that the second female lead was not a challenge, but at this moment she secretly decided to re-read the script after returning home, and strive to perform the second female lead impeccably.

Li Shengyao, who was sitting behind the director's monitor, was focused and calm, with a sharp and chiseled face full of masculine charm.

After another shot, Guo Feili stretched out her foot and lightly touched the back of Li Shengyao's calf when the field workers were getting ready.

Li Shengyao felt the latter's movement and understood what she meant.

"In two days."

Yan Danchen still couldn't perform the heroine status he wanted, so he had to teach drama overnight.

For this drama, he really gave up a lot.
