Chapter 50 This Immortal Sister Is Strange

"First, good luck, second, good luck with the launch, and third, good luck at the box office!"

The sun just poked its head out, and a ray of golden sunlight sprinkled across the earth. In a film and television base in Shanghai, the crew of "Born to the Sun" was already holding the opening ceremony.

The scene was filled with smoke. Shi Yanqiu and several investors, bosses, and producers took the lead in lighting the first incense, followed by Li Mengfei and other actors.

Behind the scenes there are also staff such as the photography team, lighting team, costume team, makeup team, props team, and field management team. They all come to worship the gods and offer incense.

Uncovering the red cloth covering the camera, handing out red envelopes, group photos, etc., after a set of procedures, the start-up ceremony is considered complete.

Of course, the opening ceremony is only the beginning of the shooting of this film, not the end.Therefore, after the ceremony ended, there was only a short period of chaos. The crew members all returned to their posts one after another, performing their duties, and intensively preparing for the shooting of today's first scene.

Li Mengfei had already gotten up in the middle of the night to put on makeup. During the opening ceremony just now, she attended with "Liang Xiaobei" makeup. Now after the teachers in the makeup team simply touched up her makeup, she put on a smart little suit. It appears in the indoor set of the first scene.

"The light isn't quite right. Add some light metering to my right side. The tone should be a little cooler, then a little colder. Okay, let's see the effect like this first."

"Old Wu, what's the matter with your camera position? Zoom in a little bit and get down! Did you say that during the meeting? You're shooting someone sitting on the sofa. Your angle is simply wrong."

"Where are the actors? Are the actors here?"

Shi Yanqiu was very busy. He sat in front of the monitor and kept picking up the walkie-talkie to give instructions.

Li Mengfei had already arrived, but he didn't pay attention at all. The assistant director came over and said a few words, and then he raised his head and glanced at Li Mengfei, who was sitting quietly on the chair on the sidelines.

Li Mengfei was not alone there, there was a thin girl standing behind her.

That was Li Mengfei's personal assistant She Jiamin. After all, she was the main protagonist in this drama. Li Mengfei still had the right to bring her assistant to the set.

"Li Mengfei is here, where is Zuo Wencheng? Where did he go?"

Shi Yanqiu withdrew his gaze and asked the assistant director until he was speechless.

Zuo Wencheng was the actor that Shi Yanqiu also brought with him when he held the press conference.

However, at this time, he was standing outside the dressing room chatting enthusiastically with a young and beautiful girl. The girl covered her mouth and laughed, her eyebrows were curved, and she was quite beautiful.

"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, why are you still here? Director Shi called you!"

Zuo Wencheng's assistant rushed over and interrupted their communication.

"Call me? Have you started filming?"

"Yes, tell me what's wrong with you. You haven't been here for so long to change your clothes."

"No, wasn't Li Mengfei filming the first few scenes? How could I be there?"

Zuo Wencheng felt a little incomprehensible.

He wasn't in a hurry at first, because although he had a part in the scene today, it wasn't too much, and Li Mengfei was the protagonist.And it was obviously arranged for Li Mengfei's one-man show to be filmed first, why did he find him on the scene now?
Zuo Wencheng thought he could pass slowly!

"How do I know? Brother Cheng, go over there quickly, before Director Shi loses his temper later."

The assistant said tremblingly.

"Okay, let me go there first."

Zuo Wencheng said the last sentence to that girl, and he hurried to the set after speaking.

Director Shi Yanqiu has a weird temper, so don't make him angry.

However, Zuo Wencheng arrived at the set and took the initiative to check in with Shi Yanqiu. He wanted to explain a few words, but Shi Yanqiu pointed to the side of the set nonchalantly and asked him to wait for the set, showing no signs of being anxious at all.

"Are you sure Director Shi is looking for me?"

Zuo Wencheng walked aside resentfully, and the assistant kindly moved the little Maza over to let him sit.

"Really, Brother Cheng, how can I lie to you? Many people can hear his roar."

The assistant called Qu.

"Okay, everyone is in position and ready to start shooting!"

Shi Yanqiu shouted with a loudspeaker, interrupting their murmurs, and everyone at the scene fell silent, preparing for the shooting of the first scene of the day.

"One shot at a time!"

In front of the camera, a person held a slate and began to report the scene number. However, the black and white bars on his slate were not photographed, but were held in the middle with one hand.

This is a silent shot.

After the clapperboard was removed, Li Mengfei appeared on the monitor in front of the director.

To be precise, she sat on the sofa where the camera was aimed at, and at the same time focused the eyes of the audience.

But Li Mengfei has already entered the play, she didn't move, she just sat there quietly, without expression, her eyes looked at the cup on the table without moving, her eyes were not empty, but it made people feel that she seemed to see through the cup nothing the same.

Perhaps Lu Xiaojuan was also in such a daze when she couldn't find her child?

Li Mengfei just sat on the sidelines as if no one was around, she just let herself into Lu Xiaojuan's emotions.

This kind of emotion is actually no more turbulent than the feeling of Liang Xiaobei who lost her child!
Because Li Mengfei carefully analyzed Lu Xiaojuan's mental journey after Yang Yi finished telling the story, and she found that Lu Xiaojuan's dementia of not being able to find her child before was not only the pain of missing her child, but also the self-consciousness of not turning back when she drove. responsibility.

Lu Xiaojuan believed that she had "caused" her son to get lost and then be abducted.

Extreme self-blame brought Lu Xiaojuan to the point of mental breakdown.If Tian Wenjun hadn't taken her to the mutual aid meeting, she might have become as crazy as the high-spirited elder sister.

Liang Xiaobei's state is actually similar. Although she doesn't blame herself, her longing for her child is like a vine that stretches her teeth and claws, binding her tightly, leaving no room for free thought.

Li Mengfei sat there motionless, with the slightly drooped corners of her mouth, her indifferent face, and her deep but unfocused eyes, which were enough to make everyone present feel the sadness of Lu Xiaojuan and Liang Xiaobei.

Shi Yanqiu didn't stop, the camera continued to shoot, Li Mengfei also continued to sit, and the others were a little restless.

what's the situation?
Including Zuo Wencheng, many people were looking around, wondering why it took the director so long to shoot this scene?

They are unwilling to "understand" the pain of this separation of flesh and blood. Of course, they are not to blame, this is human nature.

People's subconscious will still reject such negative energy emotions.

"Okay, stop!"

After more than a minute, Shi Yanqiu stopped shouting, there was no expression of satisfaction on his face, he just nodded, expressing his approval of Li Mengfei's performance just now.

Li Mengfei still sat there quietly, without moving. She didn't know if she was still immersed in the emotion just now, or she knew that the director was going to shoot this scene again.

"Old Wu, please give me a panoramic view, change the angle, turn to the left and shoot Meng Fei. You can act out the scene again and bring out the feeling just now. Do you understand?"

Sure enough, after Shi Yanqiu asked the photographer to change the camera position, he asked Li Mengfei to replay the previous scene and reshoot it.

Such reshoots are normal and are used in editing.

The switching of the camera, the change of the scene or the angle in the film can sometimes enhance the emotional appeal and adjust the visual rhythm so that the audience looks less tired.

Li Mengfei in the monitor just nodded slightly and sat there like a wooden man, as if he had never moved.

But the other actors and crew who were staring at her felt the change in her state.

The front eyes blinked a few times, as if they had returned to the human world, and found a bit of the look that a "living person" should have.

But when the director told her to prepare, her eyes froze again, and the suffocating atmosphere flooded everyone's hearts again.

like what?
Like that kind of lonely old man who lives alone, lonely, desperate, and without even a little bit of the vitality that a normal person should have in his life!

"The acting is too good, isn't it? Is this still the fairy sister?"

A staff member near Zuo Wencheng couldn't help but muttered, which attracted Zuo Wencheng's attention for a moment.

The young staff probably also liked Li Mengfei, but as an insider in the film and television industry, he didn't call black things white like those diehard fans.Li Mengfei's previous acting skills were indeed not top-notch, not even top-notch, he admitted this.

But from today's perspective, Li Mengfei's acting skills were not as bad as he had imagined. This performance made him feel dizzy, as if he really saw a mother who had lost her child and had no love for her.

Zuo Wencheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Mengfei again.

He quite agreed with the staff member's evaluation. Li Mengfei's performance today was indeed better than he expected.

No wonder director Shi Yanqiu chose her as the heroine.

Zuo Wencheng was not familiar with Li Mengfei, and Li Mengfei was also a loner, so they didn't rehearse before the filming started.

Before Zuo Wencheng was quite confident, he felt that his acting skills could completely overwhelm Li Mengfei, and even felt that he might have to give way to Li Mengfei a little, for fear of stealing the limelight from the protagonist when he was acting.

But now it seems that Li Mengfei's acting is very good and vivid, but the pressure has returned to Zuo Wencheng.

"The role of Guo Zhenghai, you can't let it go badly!"

Zuo Wencheng was thinking of competing.

"Born to the Sun" has started, and the production crew of "The Hidden Corner" has reached the final sprint stage.

"I asked my husband, 06:30 in the morning of July [-]th is an auspicious time, suitable for starting the machine."

Le Zehan carried a black leather bag, and excitedly came to the creative workshop office that Yang Yi rented for everyone to work together.

"July [-]th, we should have enough time, right?"

Ma Shiqing has also finished filming his previous scenes, and has rushed over to meet everyone in the past few days.

He was responsible for the recording of the interludes in the film, but Yang Yi was busy these days and didn't bother to tell him in detail how to arrange the songs.

Therefore, Ma Shiqing could only go to the wholesale market with Zhang Jiajun to purchase some of the materials used by the crew - the other part had to be purchased at the shooting location.

"July [-]th should be enough, but there is still one role that has not been decided yet."

Yang Yi looked away from the computer and told them.
