Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 91 Poster shooting begins
In the center of the set, the original scene had been dismantled by the props team after filming.

At this time, the leading actors were sitting on chairs, chatting with each other about life and work. When they saw Director Lin appearing with a young man, they were a little curious and looked up one after another.

"Pingsheng, we shot until midnight again yesterday, so we didn't have time to set up. This is Teacher Wang from our props team. If you need anything about the set, you can ask him." Director Lin patted Chen Pingsheng on the shoulder and introduced him to the person in front of him. A strong looking man wearing glasses.

"Teacher Wang, I discussed it with Director Lin yesterday. There are four individuals and one group, and five scenes need to be arranged. I have drawn a draft here, you can take a look." Chen Pingsheng went straight to work without saying a word. , and Teacher Wang began to discuss the setting issue.

Director Lin came to the actors, lit up a cigarette, and took a puff.

"Director, is that the photographer you said took the poster?" asked a middle-aged woman dressed simply and with a Hong Kong accent. She is Hui Hong, a well-known veteran actor from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"Yes, Chen Pingsheng." Lin Hao nodded.

"He doesn't look like a photographer, he is so handsome, he looks like an actor." Huihong said with a smile.

Liao Hua echoed from the side: "I think so too. He acted in my movie before, over and over again, and he didn't find any faults."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised.Everyone has seen and heard of Liao Hua's movies more or less. Literary films are very particular about realism, and this kind of realism is very difficult for many actors to grasp.For an amateur to do it over and over again can only mean that he is not acting at all, he is just repeating himself.

So the actor Huang Bo immediately asked: "Director Liao, what role is it?"

"It's a drama about a blind man who regains his sight and sees his own appearance in the mirror." Director Liao said briefly.

And this sentence also broke everyone's suspicions. I thought it was a true role, but I didn't expect it to be such a challenging role. All the actors and actresses present did not dare to say that they could play it in one go.

"Maybe it's luck, I'm in good condition." Liao Hua also felt that his acting skills were a bit exaggerated.

"Director Lin, why don't you let him try?" At this time, the old actor sitting on the recliner beside him suddenly said.

He has white hair, rugged wrinkles and dark age spots on his face. He looks very old, but in fact this is all the work of the makeup artist.He is the country's leading drama master, Sai Fengxiang, and this time he was invited to play a crucial role.The old appearance at this moment is all the effect of makeup.

"Him?" Director Lin exhaled a puff of smoke and said thoughtfully, "A handsome psychopath? That's interesting."

While several people were talking, the props team had already started construction. According to Chen Pingsheng's request, they quickly built five small rooms on the spot, all of which were model rooms with three walls and one without walls.

Then in each room, five or six members of the props team placed various furniture and items in while looking at the schematic diagram.

There is no pressure to shoot today, so the staff are all free. Moreover, for ordinary people, setting up a scene may be very troublesome and involves many problems.

But for Director Lin and his crew, these are all simple things.You can basically find everything on Chen Pingsheng's draft, and if you don't have it, you have already purchased it in advance. If you can't find it for a while, you just make one on the spot.

If the color is wrong, repaint it on site.

Chen Pingsheng was also helping, but he didn't see Yabu. He probably didn't follow the props team today and didn't know where he went.

"Teacher Chen, how many boards should be used to seal this door?" Several carpenters sealing the door were unsure of the count.

"Seven pieces, it should be thicker, both on the top and bottom, and the middle one needs to be tilted at an angle of about 25 degrees, just not too neat, just more natural."

"No problem." After getting the answer, the carpenter started working.

In this way, people from the props team kept calling Chen Pingsheng to ask questions about the scene.Chen Pingsheng rushed back and forth, answering everyone's questions, and then controlling the overall layout. He seemed confident and had a complete image in his mind.This made Lin Hao, who had been preparing to help, relax. He couldn't help joking with Huang Bo: "Look, this kid is quite suitable to be a director."

Huang Bo showed his trademark shy smile: "Yeah, I feel like he should have made a lot of preparations."

"Actually, photographers and directors are quite similar. They have to manage actors' emotions, actor postures, scene layout, lighting arrangements, and filming, just like a trumpet director." Lin Hao compared the situations of the two.

"But the director has more responsibility and more details. The photographer usually only has to take care of a small team of four or five people." Huang Bo added.

"Well, that's right, it's not the same as taking a camera." Lin Hao nodded and continued: "The camera is just responsible for taking care of the picture, don't worry about it."

"That Xiao Wang is gone too, I don't have to worry about it now." There were no outsiders on the set at this time, and Huang Bo spoke more relaxedly.

When the actors present heard this, they all smiled heartily. Xiao Wang is what they call Wang Zeze in private.

It has both the meaning of age and the meaning of the big and small kings in poker.

Lin Hao put out the cigarette butt, smiled and said nothing.

The actors waited for more than an hour, and the five small scenes were finally arranged in a proper way.

Chen Pingsheng walked up to them. It was the first time he saw so many celebrities. He was really a little nervous.

Fortunately, Lin Hao introduced them first: "I don't need to introduce these people in my life. You should know them all."

Chen Pingsheng took a closer look and found that indeed, they were all nationally famous actors. However, they were all sitting on chairs at this time, and their amiable appearance did not look much different from the uncles and aunts next door.

"I know them all, Teacher Huang, Teacher Hui, Teacher Liu, Director Liao, who is this?" Chen Pingsheng greeted them one by one until he saw the last old man.

"Teacher Sai, a national first-class actor, starring in dramas." Liao Hua said.

"Hello, Teacher Sai." Chen Pingsheng smiled and nodded.

Sai Fengxiang moved his chin. He was an old man with heavy makeup, so it was a bit difficult to move, so he usually saves effort when he can: "Hello."

"Okay, we all know each other, so tell me how you plan to shoot this life?" Lin Hao sat up straight and started the topic.

"Now the first scene has been arranged. It is the scene of Teacher Huang Bo. It tells the story of your struggle and confusion after killing someone in the room." Chen Pingsheng started to talk about his idea like a director.

"You are the only one in the whole scene. Because I don't want the audience to know who you killed, I hide the body, but there will be blood stains and severed fingers on the ground to represent it. I need you to show the cruelty of the murder and the first time. At a loss, to express the character’s heart.”

Huang Bo nodded, he knew the script better than Chen Pingsheng.So without any hesitation, he said directly: "Okay, come on, give it a try."

"Try it." Chen Pingsheng immediately led him to the first scene.

The other actors were also curious about how he was going to film, so they all stood up and followed behind to watch.

Only Mr. Sai was still on the chair, swaying, but with his head tilted over, looking at Chen Pingsheng's movements through the gaps in everyone's bodies.
