Chapter 546 Shooting
Inviting Yu Honghong to play the role of the dryad's grandma is also the way Ning Cheng has learned that the female villains in some western movies are all big beauties, and just met a while ago, so he called him directly. Originally, he thought that the other party had listened to his role introduction. I definitely won't act in the end, but unexpectedly, he agreed without any hesitation.

This is not only due to people's trust in him as a director, but also because of Yu Honghong's personality. She is a very assertive woman who makes decisive decisions.

With the role of the dryad's grandmother so easily settled, the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be put on the agenda.

This movie Ning Sheng must be shooting on location, the conditions of the film and television city cannot satisfy him, and he has already selected the location.

There is a temple there, which can be used as the Lanruo Temple in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the scenery around the temple is quite pleasant, and it is a famous tourist attraction in China.

The crew has already contacted there.

The cooperation method of the film is still that Ning Sheng alone controls the crew, and other companies involved in the investment only have the right to advise and supervise. After so many years of cooperation, everyone has long been used to it. The entire Huaxia can have a unique director in the crew except Ning Sheng. , really not many.

After taking a shower at night, Emma put on loose pajamas and helped Ning Sheng pack his luggage: "I heard that there are a lot of mosquitoes in Nanling at night, so I specially prepared mosquito coils and insect repellent for you, remember to use them when the time comes."

Ning Sheng nodded.

Nanling is the filming location of the crew. It is one of the most famous scenic spots in China, which is very suitable for the film needs of "A Chinese Ghost Story". However, Ning Cheng basically didn't have time to go home until the filming ended.

"Remember to call."

Emma packed up and saluted for him, then got into bed, and lay down in Ning Cheng's arms. Both of them are people who often go out for work, so they don't have any special feelings about this parting, but Xinxin's side It's not easy.

In order to explain to Xinxin, "Why does Baba go to work in a faraway place?" It was really exhausting, and in the end I promised a lot of conditions, such as bringing her a gift when I came back, and I had to video with her every day. Say good night, and when I come back, I will take her to the amusement park, etc., and finally put the little guy to sleep.

On the second day, Ning Sheng took an assistant with him, then met the assistant director and they flew directly to the nearest city, and then took a car to the place.

It was already night when everyone arrived at Nanling.

Everyone was tired from traveling all the way, so they were not in a hurry to work. They stayed in the local hotel contacted in advance for one night. The next day, Ning Sheng took Zhang Wei and others out to see the scene, and the other main creative personnel of this movie also went out. Arriving in succession in the following days.

Ning Sheng arranged for Shi Shi and Lu Han to go around, just taking advantage of this time to get acquainted with each other, which will help improve the tacit understanding between the hero and heroine of the movie.Especially when the acting skills of the two of them are still far from the real ones, they can give each other a little more familiarity and tacit understanding, and it will be easier for everyone to find their feelings when filming.

What Ning Cheng didn't expect was that Young Master Rong would also come early. Shishi and Lu Han had winks. Apart from familiarizing themselves with the surroundings, they also found time to ask Rong Shao, a senior celebrity, about acting skills from time to time.

Rong Shao has always been well-known in the circle and likes to support the younger generation, so naturally he knows everything at this time, and the three of them chatted very happily.

The managers of Shi Shi and Lu Han also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At first Ning Cheng asked the two of them to get in touch more, but the two managers did not dare to refute, but they were still worried that if someone took a photo and sent it out, it would be another Gossip hype is very troublesome, now that Young Master Rong is here, there is nothing to worry about.

Everyone was busy with the things at hand, and the complicated preparations went on for two weeks.

When the locust trees bloomed in May, Ning Sheng's "A Chinese Ghost Story" crew started their low-key and official launch here. No media was invited to hold a formalized launch ceremony. Except for some companies in the industry who paid attention, the outside world didn't even know about it. Ning Sheng's new movie has already started shooting.

However, during the filming process, just as he expected, big and small problems popped up one after another, especially for popular actors like Lu Han and Shi Shi, although Ning Sheng could shout and curse, but that couldn't be solved Question, Ning Cheng still thinks that the two of them need to find the soul of the character and fully bring the character's emotion into it.

"Simple is not childish."

In a scene that has been ng many times in a row, Ning Sheng said with a blank face: "Xiaolu, you have to know that Ning Caichen is a scholar, he doesn't know much about the outside world, it's not that he has mental problems, understand? "

"OK---"

Lu Han adjusted his state.

Although Ning Cheng frowned, he wasn't angry. After all, when he chose someone to play, he had prepared himself in advance. The other party was not a professional actor after all, so it was obvious that he wanted him to play at the level of a big name like Rong Shao. It's not realistic. In fact, Lu Han's performance is considered qualified for other crews. It's just that Ning Sheng's requirements are too high, and the current level can't satisfy him. This is probably because the classic "Zhu Yu" in memory is the first.

5 minute later.

The filming restarted, Lu Han did make adjustments this time, but Ning Sheng continued to get stuck in his scenes, "Ning Caichen is a poor scholar, he is not a street gangster, what I want is Ning Caichen, not a gangster."

"OK---"

Lu Han wiped the sweat from his brow.

The weather in May is getting warmer. He is under the pressure of Ning Cheng's new movie male lead, and he is still wearing a long gown that is not very breathable, so he will naturally feel hot and stuffy.

Although his popularity is still very high, but in the works of such a big director as Ning Sheng, every hero and heroine is a role that many big names in the circle are vying for. A supporting role in the movie, or at most a supporting role with more lines, but he didn't think about it, the surprise came so suddenly, he became the number one male.

Ever since he became the leading actor in Ning Cheng's new movie, his fans are looking forward to the release of the new movie on Weibo and forums every day, expecting that he can use the hand of the talented director Ning Sheng to create another glories, give his masterpiece Here joins this a splendid achievement.

Therefore, Lu Han paid more attention to this role than ever before. Not only did his agent push him all the announcements during the filming period, but he also worked hard to study the script in order to play his role well.

But now it seems that what he has done is far from enough. At the very least, it is not so easy to get the director Ning Sheng to agree.

Ning Cheng saw that it would take too much time for the other party to figure it out alone, so he simply pulled Rong Shao over and asked Rong Shao to tell Lu Han with him. Sometimes Rong Shao even performed it himself. I am amazed in my heart.

"Crack, this one is over!"

Compared with the hustle and bustle of tourists during the day, the Nanling at night is completely silent. The crew is most efficient at this time. Because they have just finished eating, no one is chatting and farting, and everyone is in a highly concentrated state.

"Turn around and take a break."

With the end of several rival scenes, the assistant director shouted at the heads of various departments of the crew.

The entire production crew got into action, while Ning Cheng and Young Master Rong gathered around a computer connected to the system to check the shooting effect during the day. During the daytime, it was so noisy that it was impossible to watch it carefully. Can the lens be used in the end.

The finished shot appeared on the computer screen, and Ning Cheng carefully looked at it, "What do you guys think?"

"There is no problem with the picture."

"The performance is fine."

Ning Sheng said, "Shishi and Lu Han are both very good actors. As long as they work hard, they can still accomplish my goal very well."

"Let's adjust the color." Ning Sheng said to the operator, "The color and contrast should give people a feeling of autumn, for example, these leaves should be changed to yellow, and other scenery, try to make the environment of autumn—"

The picture is quickly adjusted successfully.

Just looking at the picture, the feeling of autumn came out, Ning Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "These finished pictures are sent to the studio, and then they are asked to find a special effects company to make them as soon as possible, and I have listed out the detailed requirements. "

The operator nodded.

After half an hour.

The filming started again. Ning Cheng was sitting on the director's chair, staring at the monitor. The first few supporting roles passed smoothly, but when it was Shishi's turn, he suddenly said, "Crack."

A very normal NG.

Everyone didn't care. In this drama, besides the male protagonist Lu Han, the female protagonist Liu Shishi was the one who got clicked the most times.There is no way, who made their acting skills not only not comparable to Rong Shao, but also compared with Yu Honghong who played the tree demon's grandmother, they are much worse, so the number of times the two of them were shot in this movie has far exceeded other actors.

The show resumed.

This time Shishi performed pretty well, at least a little better than that time just now, but Ning Cheng still shouted, "One more thing, Shishi, you have started to like Ning Caichen, a nerd, look at his eyes. change, you know?"

Shishi nodded.

After all the departments were ready, Ning Sheng stopped the filming for the third time less than halfway through.

"Again, Shishi, your eyes look at Ning Caichen differently than you look at the tree demon's grandmother. One is your lover, and the other is the demon who enslaves you. You have to show your expression with your eyes, understand?"

One is love full of worry, and the other is fear full of fear. It stands to reason that these two emotions are so extreme that it should not be difficult to perform, but if you can only switch between them smoothly in a short period of time with your eyes, then it will be difficult. It's not that easy, especially for an actor like Shishi who rarely uses eyes when filming.

However, with this filming experience, Ning Sheng believes that Shishi's acting skills, especially the expressiveness of eyes, will definitely have a breakthrough that will surprise fans!
After 10 minutes of pondering and preparation, and after repeating this shot three times, Ning Cheng finally got the result he was satisfied with. "Thank you everyone, let's shoot here tonight." It's almost twelve o'clock at night.

Although Ning Sheng has absolute authority in the crew, no one dares to raise opinions until he is done, but in order for everyone to concentrate tomorrow, they must go back to rest now.

"Call it!" the assistant director shouted.

After the crew relaxed and put all kinds of important equipment into the car and locked them up, everyone returned to the hotel where they stayed. The hard work brought by continuous work made many people fall asleep at night——
Ning Cheng didn't sleep.

The troubles encountered in filming these days made him understand that even though he is very familiar with the script, there are still some blind spots. After all, he copied the script from another time and space, and his understanding of the characters is not thorough enough.This is because his previous work was not enough.

So he planned to reorganize the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story" carefully tonight, but he was so busy until three o'clock in the night, Ning Cheng was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting, but looking at some newly added annotations on the script, He knows that his level has improved to a certain extent.

Ning Sheng was very happy.

There is an original version from another time and space to compare with. Ning Sheng studied professional directing in this life and has filmed so many film and television dramas. His directing level has always been stable, but what is stable is actually the story he copied from another time and space. In these years, he began to combine his acquired professional knowledge with these years of practical experience. He could feel that he was constantly improving, just like tonight, working hard to improve.

This progress is also reflected in the shooting.

Next, the crew could clearly feel the changes in Ning Sheng's speeches to the two leading actors and other actors. Even Lu Han and Shishi's NG times became less and less, and the work efficiency of the entire crew continued to accelerate. When the time entered June, the acting skills of the two protagonists had been recognized by all the crew members. According to Shi Shi and Ning Tong on the phone, "It's like practicing martial arts to a bottleneck, and then being pointed out by an expert." Transformation, once enlightened, enter another realm from now on!"

Ning Sheng is undoubtedly very pleased about this, and when Lu Han and Shi Shi's acting skills are not high enough, they are arranged as the hero and heroine of the new movie. Not only are the two leading actors themselves under pressure, but Ning Sheng is also under pressure.

He is responsible for the quality of the film.

The original version in my impression is a well-deserved classic, Ning Cheng is definitely not like such a classic, ruined in his own hands!
June NO.13.

The filming of the Nanling scene was finally completed, and Ning Sheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least from the current situation, he would not insult the charm of this classic.

"Go back to the imperial capital tomorrow!"

Ning Sheng's notice quickly spread throughout the crew, which made many people secretly happy. Filming in a scenic spot like Nanling seems to be very comfortable, but the tourists who come and go every day and the overtime at night have already given up on that share. The comfort was washed away.Besides, no matter it is room and board, it can't compare with the imperial capital after all, everyone has already stayed enough, and can't wait to take the first flight back immediately.

The rest of the shots can be done in the studio of the film and television city. The conditions there are much more comfortable and convenient than going out.

And the day before returning to the imperial capital, Ning Sheng took a rare short vacation for the crew. During the short vacation, everyone can take a good look at the local scenic spots and buy some souvenirs. After Ning Sheng dressed up a little, he also went out to buy There are a lot of things, but he promised to go back and bring gifts to Xinxin. He doesn't want to become a father who doesn't count in Xinxin's heart!
