People are in love, Qingmei is actually a star observer

Chapter 294 The shooting of the first scene begins

Wang Zihuan and Pei Qianyi went to the hotel to put away their luggage, and followed Tong Ling to the shooting scene without taking any rest.

If you want to complete the project within 15 days, you must seize all the time.

Arriving at the scene, Wang Zihuan saw from a distance a camera covered with red cloth, tributes, incense, and a huge pig's head placed on a long table.

Although Chinese movies have to be bowed before they are released, pig heads are still rare and belong to the higher-end category.

The poor tell fortunes, the rich burn incense.

People, even if they are not superstitious, will not resist looking for good omens to seek good luck.

There are indeed many uncertain factors that are difficult to control when filming film and television dramas, such as actor illness, bad weather, broken machines and other unforeseen losses, so it is normal to burn incense to find a psychological comfort.

But the opening ceremony also has another function, which is equivalent to a pep rally for the crew, giving the actors and staff a boost.

The three of them got out of the car. Wang Zihuan first greeted the crew on site and had a cordial exchange with the assistant director hired by Tong Ling.

Although he is the chief director, he also plays two roles: good and villain, so he often needs the assistant director to help keep an eye on the scenes.

The assistant director's surname is Gu. He has made many major online movies and is well-known in the industry.

The reason why Tong Ling was able to take care of him at a very low price was because Director Gu was preparing to make a transition to making theater movies, so she wanted to please Wanhua Digital's daughter.

Although Tong Ling had no objections to Wang Zihuan's appointment as chief director, she was somewhat frightened.

After all, from what she knew, Wang Zihuan had never been exposed to this aspect before, and it was not possible to be fully competent after reading a few director's books on set.

Even if you are a genius, if you have not experienced some of the trivial matters on the set, it will be difficult for you to know how to deal with them.

Therefore, Tong Ling promised to give Director Gu some theater resources in exchange for tutoring Wang Zihuan.

However, the two of them made a three-part agreement in advance, and they would tutor with all their heart, and don't have the attitude of a senior being dismissive of a junior.

Therefore, Director Gu's attitude was very good at this time. He and the prince had a pleasant chat and exchanged business blows.

After chatting for a while, he felt that it was almost done, so he prepared to explain the matters concerning the power-on ceremony of Wang Zihuan in a more tactful manner.

As a result, before he could speak, Wang Zihuan had already walked to the long table, picked up the incense and introduced the contents of "Longmen Inn" to the people present according to the procedure.

After finishing speaking, he lit incense and started the ceremony of "worshiping the four directions" with the actors and staff present.

Next, he did things like handing out red envelopes and unveiling the red tape on the camera, and he did it very skillfully. He was not at all unfamiliar with being a first-time director. He was more proficient than many veterans who have been in the film and television industry for more than ten years.

Director Gu looked at Wanhua Qianjin in confusion and wanted to ask her if she was the so-called "rookie who has never been exposed to the shooting process"?

But he was surprised to find that Tong Ling's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and she looked at Wang Zihuan in astonishment.

? ? ? , Director Gu was completely confused.

What's going on with this crew? Don't the producer and director know each other?

Pei Qianyi, who followed the prince to pay homage, had only experienced this kind of thing once many years ago, so she had no idea about whether it was familiar or not. She thought that as long as someone pointed out this kind of thing, it wouldn't be too bad.

After finishing the booting ceremony, Wang Zihuan and others went to change clothes.

Because Pei Qianyi has to go back to Shenhai to film The Voice on Friday, so today's scene starts directly with the scene after several groups of people enter the Longmen Inn.

On the day Pei Qianyi returns, they will make up for the opening scene.

It took 20 minutes for everyone to complete the pre-show preparations under the guidance of the makeup artist.

Tong Ling's dress is still the same as the poster she posted on Weibo before, with a dark robe and a sword in hand.

This outfit is 6 points similar to Qiu Moyan's in the original work, and is generally more exquisite.

After all, the original drama was set in 92, and it is now 23 years old. Although the story is not outdated, the costumes still need to be in line with the times.

Wang Zihuan was also dressed in a similar manner, also wearing a hat, but his robe became black and white.

To be honest, it was not as stunning as his Xichang Changhua dress, and Pei Qianyi and Tong Ling didn't have much reaction.

However, Pei Qianyi's dress is very different from the gold and jade in the original drama. It can even be said to be two styles. She wears a bright red gauze skirt with gold thread, and the overall dress is much richer.

This is mainly because Wang Zihuan is afraid that Pei Qianyi won't be able to let go and can't forcefully perform the coquettish and aggressive performance of Jin Xiangyu. It's better to keep her own style and play a black-hearted boss with all kinds of charms.

Because there was no shot of Wang Zihuan in the first scene, he sat on the chair dedicated to the chief director and stared at the monitor.

Director Gu watched without saying anything. He couldn't figure out Wang Zihuan's level now, so he chose to wait and see what happened to avoid being slapped in the face later.

"The first scene in the inn of "Dragon Inn", the first real shot! Standby!" the recorder shouted.

The scene management immediately quieted down all the staff and actors on standby.

The focus person of the photography team looked at the camera and spotted the board in the recorder's hand. He nodded and shouted "mark."

With the recorder shouting loudly and quickly leaving the scene, Wang Zihuan's first movie in his life officially started filming.

The first shot is a long shot of the inn. Under the command of Wang Zihuan, the camera crew moved the camera and completed this part of the shooting in only 10 minutes.

"Cut, this is OK." Wang Zihuan picked up the trumpet and shouted.

This made Tong Ling and Director Gu look at each other in shock. The director’s job is actually to turn the script into pictures.

Therefore, the process of materializing images is the easiest way to judge the level of a director.

It is common for many directors to shoot a scene four or five times. Sometimes even after a scene is shot, they will reshoot it again and use a different method to save one for later editing.

But Wang Zihuan seems to be very satisfied with his capture and has no plans to shoot again. This is so confident and does not look like the style of a rookie director at all.

Mainly, Tong Ling and Director Gu were watching the monitor just now. The exterior shot of the inn was very beautiful, even perfect.

"My husband can't be omnipotent," Tong Ling thought to herself.

"MD, it's a good thing I didn't pretend to be too talkative, otherwise I'd be slapped in the face. This young man uses more terms than me. He's so professional." Director Gu sighed inwardly, feeling that this counselor's money Not secure to hold.

Wang Zihuan didn't know what these two people were thinking, but the reason why he was so confident was because he had all the storyboards of "New Dragon Gate Inn" in his mind.

These are all director Tsui Hark's efforts. Of course, he doesn't need to do any "guaranteed" operations.

Wang Zihuan, who was in working mode, took a look at the script and found that Pei Qianyi's appearance as "Jin Xiangyu" had two intimate scenes.

In the original drama, the shopkeeper of Longmen Inn is Jin Xiangyu. She has a fierce and bold personality but is naturally charming and tender. Therefore, there are often unreasonable people who want to climb into her bed. Instead, they are killed by the landlady, who then sells them as human meat buns. customer.

Therefore, in order to show this in the first scene here, there is a scene where a supporting character throws Jin Xiangyu onto the bed.

The second one is Jin Xiangyu. As the owner of the only inn in the desert, she is well-rounded and knows how to survive, so she has a close friendship with General Qianhu who manages this area.

In order to show the relationship between the two, there are two scenes of General Qianhu holding gold and jade in the first scene.

Wang Zihuan frowned and glanced at the eager actor and the "General Qianhu" with the big beard.

After a few seconds of silence, he waved to the director's assistant.

"Change the script. The scene where the actor throws Jin Xiangyu onto the bed is changed to miss it. The scene where Qianhu hugs Jin Xiangyu and cannot see his face is done with a stand-in; the second scene where his face is visible is changed. Cheng Jin Xiang Yu has been sitting on the table talking to Qian Hu."

The assistant blinked and said, Director Xindao, you are really protective of the food. You don't want others to come into contact with Pei Qianyi.

But even though he thought so in his heart, he still went ahead with the matter.

From a distance, Wang Zihuan saw the disappointed look on the faces of the actor and General Qianhu after hearing the assistant's announcement.

He chuckled inwardly.

How is it possible for you to take advantage of my woman under my nose?

After listening to the explanation of the photography assistant, Pei Qianyi, who was wearing a gauze skirt, glanced at Wang Zihuan in the director's seat with a charming smile, and seemed to be very satisfied with the arrangement.

Although being an actor requires a bit of dedication, Pei Qianyi did not make movies for so many years after the incident in order to avoid this.

It's just that this time Wang Zihuan asked her to take the role, so she accepted it with all her heart.

Now it seems she doesn't have to worry about that.

Next, Pei Qianyi did not disappoint Wang Zihuan. She really abandoned her lady baggage and worked hard to play the role of "coquettish and passionate".

But Pei Qianyi is not Maggie Cheung after all, so the performance styles of the two are still different.

To put it simply, Maggie Cheung's gold and jade look is more coquettish, while Pei Qianyi's gold and jade look is more sentimental.

Wang Zihuan was very satisfied with this. There was no need to follow the original work. Who can be sure that amorous gold and jade would not be more charming.

Wang Zihuan, who has purchased the master-level "director's thinking", will never do things rigidly as per the script. What he should do is to adapt appropriately according to the situation.

After Pei Qianyi's appearance scene was filmed, it was time for Tong Ling to appear. This is the first meeting between the two heroines. It is a very crucial scene that reflects the character.

When things came to a close, Tong Ling was a little nervous like the time she took the stage in Xizhou.

Although she has filmed many short video clips, this is her first official movie, and she is starring opposite Pei Qianyi, who performed very well.

If she doesn't act well, she will feel that she is a head shorter than Pei Qianyi.

Wang Zihuan saw Tong Ling's trembling hands and knew that she had to get some psychological counseling first, otherwise she would not be able to perform well in such a nervous mood.

If Tong Ling's self-confidence is affected by this, it will be difficult to find her form again later.

"Everyone should rest for 10 minutes." Wang Zihuan picked up the trumpet and shouted.

After saying that, while Pei Qianyi wasn't paying attention, he pulled Tong Ling and ran into a nearby tent.

"I'm sorry, I don't."

Tong Ling was halfway through her words when she was silenced by Wang Zihuan.

nervous? I'm good at this.

Just a kiss!
