Chapter 29 The official start of filming

The next day, "Emperor Capital Love Story" officially started filming.

The first scene was filmed in a restaurant opposite a residential area near the hotel. Although it is not a downtown area, the flow of people is not small.

Therefore, the opening ceremony was simply held at the entrance of the restaurant, and it was not very grand.

After all, it's filming in the imperial capital, so it's better to keep a low profile. If something goes wrong, it will be bad. If it is light, it will be criticized and educated, and if it is serious, it may affect the progress of the crew.

The restaurant has been rented by the crew for a while, because there are many scenes to be filmed here.

The scene to be filmed today is Shi Xiaomeng, in order to thank Cheng Feng for helping Shen Bing find a job, set up a dinner in the "Old Place" restaurant and invited everyone to eat together, and then a series of things happened.

Of course, the first shot did not shoot the scene of everyone sitting together to eat, but the scene of the restaurant owner making preparations before everyone came, hoping for a good start.

The guest star of the restaurant owner is Feng Lei, an old drama player, that is, Zhao Ruilong, the villain in "In the Name of the People" in his previous life. His acting skills are naturally not bad, and he is very steady, so the first scene was shot very smoothly.

A good start symbolizes that the crew will have smooth sailing and good luck in the future.

Next is the scene where everyone sits and eats together. Although it is a group play, it is not too difficult. As long as the preparations of the actors are in place, there will be no problem, and it will not be filmed too many times.

There are no big stars in the entire crew, and there is no such thing as being late on purpose or playing big names. All the actors came to the set on time.

Like other actors, Su Mu changed his clothes, put on makeup, and sat at the dining table to wait.

"I didn't eat breakfast, I feel so hungry." Zhang Xinyi looked at the dishes on the table eagerly, and her saliva was about to flow out.

Su Mu was amused, and said with a smile: "Haha, Sister Xinyi, then you can eat a few bites secretly, anyway, I won't show you close-ups for a while, it's okay."

In order to film this scene, Chen Sicheng specially asked the restaurant owner to cook a table of dishes, asking them to eat real food during filming, so that it looks more natural.

As for the wine, the beer is real and the liquor is fake. After all, it’s filming. If you get drunk with two glasses of liquor, how can you film?
"Yes, yes, you can eat some bar mats first, it's just a test play." Zhang Yi also booed, poured a glass of beer into the glass in front of him, and looked at Su Mu: "Come on, Amu , let's make it together, moisten our mouths."

Chen Sicheng noticed the situation here, walked over and said: "Let's leave you two alone, let's make it together, liven up the atmosphere, and raise the atmosphere."

The director said so, everyone naturally had no objection, and had a drink together.

Not to mention, after drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere on the scene is suddenly different, and the mutual enthusiasm becomes more enthusiastic, a bit like a dinner with friends.

"Xinyi, you can eat two bites, and the plate will be empty if you eat any more." Chen Sicheng teased with a smile.

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.

After 10 minutes, everything is ready to start shooting.

Because Chen Sicheng is also the lead actor, the executive director Wang Yu is in charge of the scene. He has rich experience and has worked with many crews. That's why the producer asked him to assist Chen Sicheng.

"The sixth episode of "Love Story in the Imperial Capital", the third scene, begins."

As soon as the sound of hitting the board fell, everyone immediately entered the state.

"Eat more, eat more."

At the dinner table, everyone was eating and chatting. It was a bustling scene. Su Mu didn't have any lines for the time being, so he ate with his favorite dishes and drank a sip of beer from time to time, perfectly playing the role of the background board.

At this time, Zhang Yi and Chen Sicheng started talking in a low voice.

"Did you ask your father about that?"

"Not yet, I was in a bad mood yesterday, let's find another chance."

"Okay, it's okay, don't worry, anyway, if it doesn't work, I'll find another way."

"It's okay, it should be fine."

While Su Mu was eating, he was also listening carefully to the conversation between the two, because there was his next line, which must be answered at the right time, otherwise it would disrupt the next rhythm.

Just when Zhang Yi and Chen Sicheng finished talking and clinked glasses with each other, Zhang Xinyi chewed the vegetables and said to Su Mu with a smile: "Look, they both drank it."

Hearing this, Su Mu fixed his eyes on Zhang Yi and said, "Xiao Meng, you are doing well now, your job is also good, and your daughter-in-law is here, double happiness."

As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass: "I'm free. If you do it, how much happiness you can have depends on how much you drink."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Yi smiled, then raised the wine glass to his mouth, and drank directly.

On such an occasion, as the owner of the wine bureau, he naturally couldn't refuse his brother's toast, not to mention that he also wanted more happiness in his heart. The real life was too bitter, and he hoped that this glass of wine would bring him some good luck.

At this time, everyone looked at Zhang Yi and started booing: "Drink, drink, drink!"

And Su Mu also picked up the wine glass, while drinking, he kept gesticulating with the other hand, meaning to let Zhang Yi drink more.

There are only lines in the script, and there are no specific actions for the actors.

Su Mu's hand movement was added by himself, because when he was drinking with Lin Gengxin's group in school, he made booing and gestures like this, which is just right here.

Behind the monitor, the executive director Zhang Yu nodded secretly, everyone's performance was good.

This game is very simple, but also very difficult.

Simple is simple because it doesn't require the actors to have too much mood swings and eye changes, and the facial expressions are easy to do.

The difficulty lies in how to act more naturally, so that the audience does not seem to be acting, as if a group of old friends are really having dinner.

Su Mu's performance in this regard is very good. As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way.

Ordinary audiences would not think that Su Mu's acting is so good. It seems that he just made a few movements and said a few lines, and his eyes and expressions didn't change much, just like ordinary people's usual performance. Nothing fancy.

It even gives people an illusion that being an actor is so easy, and I can do it myself.

In fact, it is not the case. As an executive director, Wang Yu is a real industry insider. His vision is very poisonous, so naturally he will not see it so superficially.

In his opinion, Su Mu's performance is very smooth and natural, without excessive force, and the performance traces are very light, which will give the audience a feeling of acting in his true colors, so that it looks more real.

After working in the industry for so many years, Wang Yu has seen too many new actors, and it is really rare to be able to perform so well when they just debuted.

Not only the executive director was watching this scene, but Wang Dan was also staring at it.

This is the first scene that Su Mu filmed after he signed the contract with Drama Cool. Wang Dan also wants to see how he is doing as a manager. This is related to his future development, and also related to his future money.

If the performance is good, the company will give strong support and have enough resources. If the performance is unsatisfactory, it may be stocked and left to fend for itself.

From yesterday's launch conference and today's filming of this scene, Wang Dan temporarily gave Su Mu an A rating, which means the future is promising.
