Chapter 211 Must be retaken
"Teacher Wang, later I will walk from the steps on the left to behind the tree on the right. When I walk to the edge of the flower bed, I will look over to the camera. You can help capture it. Look at me."
"After I turn around, Mr. Wang, please shift the camera to my sleeves. The focus is on the buttons on the cuffs, because the buttons have the trademark pattern of Fenghua Clothing."
Li Ye explained to the cameraman and was ready to try to see how much of the handsome guy Hu's style he could replicate.
Master Wang, the videographer, said with some embarrassment: "Everything else is fine, but I can't take a picture of the pattern on your button."
Li Ye said: "It's okay. In the future, we can use camera editing to reflect the trademark of Fenghua Clothing."
"That's it," Master Wang said with a smile: "I was just following A few sisters are talking nonsense, saying that you are the most suitable costume performer."
Li Ye quickly said modestly: "No, no, I was just on a whim, taking advantage of everyone's break to try to make a movie. It’s just a feeling.”
Li Ye had noticed a long time ago that the middle-aged actors who came out with the photographer Lao Wang were not the extras who would be picked up by a certain store in the future and just listen to their accents. , you know that although he is a walk-on, he is a real actor.
So Li Ye has no intention of showing off.
Some people may think that Jingcheng dialect is very close to Mandarin, but the difference is not that big if you don’t pay attention. In fact, it is quite different.
Just say it! If he were an authentic Beijinger, he would speak so fast that outsiders might not be able to understand what they were saying.
In his last life, Li Ye met one in the game. They all formed a group to fight a dungeon, and it turned out that the guy in charge was from the capital city, and he was very quick to talk about Beijing movies.
< br>After Li Ye finished listening, he felt like he understood it, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed not to understand a word again. The accent was so authentic that you had to guess what he said.
So at this time in 1983, anyone who could speak Mandarin close to broadcasting level must have worked hard and should not be underestimated.
Li Ye went to the temporary dressing room to change his clothes. When he came out, he found that everyone had not rested and was waiting behind the camera to watch!
When they saw Li Ye wearing new clothes, everyone's eyes lit up.
Especially Wen Leyu and Wen Guohua are the most enthusiastic.
Li Ye seemed to see something shiny in Wen Leyu's big eyes.
But looking at Wen Guohua's eyes, why does it feel like he is looking at a monkey?
[Hey, you thought the girls you hooked up with were walking in a standard way, and I was in a wild way? 】
Li Ye did not have stage fright. He walked down the steps steadily and fastened a button on his abdomen. He behaved calmly and generously, like an elite who was about to leave for work in the morning.
He walked past a Volga car that was specially rented as the background, and past the newly green jasmine flowers. When he passed the flower bed, he casually looked towards the camera.
Randomness and nature are what Li Ye wants to embody.
The actors of this era understand the form of performance very differently from that of later generations.
For example, when watching "Wreaths Under the Mountain", when the actors are emotional, they will use violent body movements, pumping their fists and stamping their feet to express their inner indignation.
This method can arouse the audience's resonance very well, feel the emotions that the actors want to express, and advance the plot better.
Decades later, when actors want to express emotions, they mostly use expressions, eyes, and natural or subtle movements to express and render an "ordinary reality."
For example, the look in Huang Bo's eyes when he said he was a murderer, or Fan Wei's performance of eating noodles, smoking and eating instant noodles, chewing fish bones and adding lines, were so natural and smooth.
Li Ye can't say which of these two methods of expression is better, but the first method used in Li Ye's advertisement always makes him feel like he has used too much force, which is not perfect.
So he gave it a try to see if it could have some guiding effect.
It turns out that Li Ye underestimated several supporting actors from Beijing Film Studio.
As soon as he finished taking this photo, people started talking.
“Oh, that’s what you want! Say it earlier! It’ll make us take pictures over and over again.”
“That’s right, little brother, you should demonstrate it to us earlier, and we’d be better off. How much film does it cost?”
"Well, if we slow down the video then, it might be really interesting."
"But don't tell me, this young man is really handsome. It's a pity that he was admitted to Beijing University, otherwise he would definitely be admitted to us Unit."
"What does it mean to be admitted to Beijing University? Is it a pity that your child is admitted to Beijing University?"
"Oh, I just said it is a pity. Do you understand?" >
“It is indeed a pity, it is a pity to lose such a good body.”
The several supporting actors joked around for a while, and then walked back and forth several times. When the actual filming started, the feeling was indeed different from before.
The natural demeanor and enthusiastic smile of a man in his thirties or forties made Li Ye feel a sense of "vigor" and expressed his longing for a better life.
Yes, a professional is a professional. It’s not that I don’t know how to act, but today’s movies don’t need this kind of “close to reality” performance.
On the other hand, those models could not change their condition for a long time.
They are used to staring straight ahead and being arrogant. They walk straight and click, and their grasp of the subtle expressions on their faces is really unsatisfactory.
In the end, Li Ye had no choice but to say to them: "Imagine yourselves, you are casually shopping, and suddenly you see a handsome young man whistling at you on the side of the road.
Then you gave him an indifferent look. His eyes then turned around, and he waved gently at him. "
Li Ye demonstrated several standard street photography moves of later generations. Although they have become commonplace in later generations, they fit the traffic code. , it must have its merits.
Then, the performance of those female models was a little better, but when they looked at the "handsome young man" and then gave him a "cold look", they were not looking at the camera, they were looking at To Wen Guohua.
Li Ye had no choice but to pull Wen Guohua and let him stand by the camera.
Wen Leyu's eyes narrowed, and while he was alert, his sly eyes kept searching his brother's body, as if he was looking for which piece of meat was fatter, and he had to take the opportunity to stab him. "Let's go and see the effect of slow motion."
After filming this scene, everyone was eager to see the before and after comparison.
After finding a place to play it, developing and debugging the original film several times, and struggling for a long time to find the appropriate slow playback speed, the difference was really apparent.
Jin Peng came close to Li Ye and whispered: "Xiao Ye, I feel that you are more suitable than those professionals. How about you be the protagonist?"
But Li Ye said: "Forget it, the family is not willing."
Jin Peng said in surprise: "The family is not willing? You didn't ask the master or uncle, how do you know they are not willing? ”
But Jin Peng quickly swallowed up the rest of the words.
Because Wen Leyu, who was sitting on the left side of Li Ye, had already glanced at him with cold eyes.
Well, it turned out to be this "family member", and he really couldn't be offended.
Li Ye tilted his head and looked at Wen Leyu, curled his lips, then reached out and quietly held Wen Leyu's hand.
Wen Leyu clasped his hands behind his back, pursed his lips and smiled, showing a "tacit understanding" smile.
In her eyes, Li Ye is a future economist, a future leader of a large unit, a future but not a movie star.
Obviously Li Ye has a star-level appearance, but Wen Leyu believes that his "inner excellence" is far more important than his outer appearance.
Li Ye quietly said to Wen Leyu: "The background music of the commercial has not been decided yet. You have a talent for music. You will give us your ideas when the time comes."
Wen Leyu nodded repeatedly.
She must support her family’s business from the bottom of her heart.
However, after watching the slow-motion effect, the cameraman, Master Wang, and the supporting actors approached Jin Peng with some embarrassment.
"Manager Jin, the scenes we shot in the front are not uniform in style compared to the ones in the last row. Do you think we need to reshoot them?"
"Of course. Okay, that's what I'm thinking too!" Jin Peng said quickly: "As long as a few teachers are willing, I'm happy to do it. For other teachers, please don't worry. Our subsidy is calculated on a daily basis. You can shoot as many days as you like. Day.”
"We are not asking for subsidies," the cameraman said with some embarrassment: "The main reason is that too much film is wasted, and there are several expected scenes later, which will definitely not be enough."
"Film is not restricted. "Jin Peng said immediately: "Don't worry about the film. If it doesn't work, I will find someone to send it by airmail from Hong Kong Island.
Our commercial will probably be broadcast in Southeast Asia and even Juhua. , only pursue quality, regardless of cost."
"."
As soon as Jin Peng finished speaking, the cameraman's mouth opened wide.
The supporting actors in the back also looked shocked. Even Wen Guohua was trembling and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.
"Is this film about Southeast Asia going to be broadcast overseas?"
The cameraman's voice was raised an octave, with a gentle vibrato.
“That’s right,” Jin Peng said: “Our Fenghua brand clothing was commissioned by Hong Kong Island to be produced by us. It is mainly exported overseas, and a small part will be sold in our mainland.
< br>Originally, a commercial film was shot in Hong Kong, but after we at Pengcheng Factory No. 7 watched it, we felt it was really hard to describe, so we decided to fight for it, shoot it ourselves, and do it better than those others. "
"."
"Are you serious?"
"That's right, I seem to have been fooled by the beauty photographer."
Several supporting actors Still doubtful, Jin Peng simply brought the Hong Kong video to them and released it.
“What was this shot? There are no sound, channels, cameras, or clocks. It’s just a waste of film.”
"Isn't it? The old men who guard the gate in our unit are better at acting than them."
Jin Peng smiled and said to everyone: "Now everyone believes me! But don't put any pressure on everyone. Just now Everyone has done a good job. If you take a few more shots, I think it will be perfect.”
“You should have told me earlier! I just didn’t use a detail well. It’s not a shame for you. Have you gone overseas? "
"We have to reshoot, we need to reshoot everything. We don't have to give up any subsidies, but this film must be the best. If it doesn't work, we will ask the factory leaders to adjust the number. Come here."
The mentality of several supporting actors has been completely different. They originally thought it was just a small private job to earn some pocket money to buy new clothes for the children, but in the blink of an eye, Why did it rise to this level?
Li Ye quietly warned Jin Peng: "The performances of these teachers are very natural. If those big names come over, the performance marks are too heavy and may not be suitable. You have to grasp the scale."
Jin Peng nodded and said: "Don't worry, I know it well. Little people also have their own dreams. They just say that and won't let others steal the limelight."
Li Ye nodded in agreement.
At this time, Wen Guohua came over and asked with a smile: "Are you going to go global with this commercial?"
Li Ye looked at him and smiled. : "It's just possible, but it will definitely be played in the mainland."
"Well, it may be the most suitable, haha."
Wen Guohua feels that there is no need to mention Li Ye, because Li Ye should understand that if it involves overseas broadcast, the review procedures will be very expensive. So excited!
