Chapter 306 Xiao Li’s guest appearance
June 2nd.
Early in the morning.
Jin Qixuan was sitting in the rest area, eagerly awaiting Li Zhien's arrival.
After all, I haven’t seen my girlfriend for half a month.
This would be really crazy to think about.
After a while, Bong Joon-ho came to hand over the extension script for today's shooting share.
Seeing Jin Qixuan's eager look.
Bong Joon-ho gestured to the photographer to turn on the camera.
Then, he turned around and teased Jin Qixuan, saying:
“Whose wife-watching stone is this?”
Jin Qixuan was a little embarrassed by this sudden ridicule.
He coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe.
Then, he took the extension script handed over by Bong Joon-ho and lowered his head to read it.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
A black nanny car slowly drove into the set.
The car door was pushed open.
Li Zhien jumped out of the car eagerly and looked around for familiar faces.
When her eyes met Jin Qixuan's, they both had bright smiles on their faces.
Jin Qixuan opened his arms and warmly welcomed her arrival.
Li Zhien threw herself into his arms without hesitation.
"Do you miss me?"
Li Zhien raised his head, resting his chin on his chest, looking at him with a smile in his eyes, and asked.
“No.”
Jin Qixuan denied it, but there was a smile in his eyes.
“Hmph~”
Li Zhien pretended to be angry and hit his chest with her head, saying:
"Tell the truth, do you miss me?"
At this time, the single "lemon spirits" who were shown off by this sweet couple began to cough sourly.
They just came back to their senses from the sweet world of two people.
Li Zhien looked around and stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.
That cute look made Jin Qixuan couldn't help but pinch her cheek gently.
“Let’s go, let me introduce you.”
With that said, Jin Qixuan took Li Zhien to say hello to Bong Junhao and make him feel familiar.
"Hello, PDnim."
Li Zhien bowed obediently and said hello.
Bong Joon-ho smiled and nodded in return.
"IUxi, you are here. Qi Xuan has been sitting there since six o'clock in the morning, eagerly waiting for you to come. He can't move no matter how hard he screams."
"Director Feng, I No way! ”
"There was a camera on in the morning to record the behind-the-scenes footage."
"..."
Hearing this, Li Zhien covered his mouth and chuckled.
He turned to look at the tough-tongued Jin Qixuan and gently poked the soft flesh on his waist with his fingers.
Jin Qixuan was tickled and couldn't help laughing, and reached out to hold her troubled little hand.
“Naughty.”
"IUxi, since you are here, let's go change your clothes first."
Seeing this, Bong Joon-ho interrupted the awkwardness between the two and started to get down to business.
“Okay, PDnim.”
Li Zhien nodded and followed the staff to the locker room.
In a short while.
Li Zhien walked out wearing an orange Polo shirt, a small bag slung around his waist, and a dark blue baseball cap on his head.
After coming out, Li Zhien saw Jin Qixuan guarding the door. He smiled and rolled his eyes, raised his chest and put his hands on his hips, and asked:
"How about it, do I have the momentum of a pizza shop owner?"
< br>Seeing this, Jin Qixuan looked up and down and said:
"It always feels a little weird."
Li Zhien looked down and looked around, then raised his face and asked:
"What's weird?"
"Hmm... very cute."
Hearing this, Li Zhien puffed up his mouth, raised his hand and punched him.
“Disgusting~”
"Hahaha, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Jin Qixuan smiled and held her hand, put it on her chest and rubbed it, then said seriously:
"Your appearance is nothing. The problem is that it just feels too gentle and lacks the down-to-earth feeling of a small business owner.”
"Then how should I adjust it?"
"For example, you can pull the brim of the hat down a little to cover part of your eyes, which will look cooler. Also, you can bend a little when walking. , don’t be so straight, it will look more casual.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, the two walked towards Bong Joon-ho.
When Bong Joon-ho arranges scenes, he likes to summon all relevant personnel for a one-time explanation.
All the actors, extras, photographers, focus pullers, sound engineers and other staff who are going to appear in the play have to sit in a row and listen to his arrangements.
Seeing Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien coming over, Bong Junhao immediately turned to the shot script on the whiteboard and began to explain:
"Okay, now that everyone is here, I won’t talk about the interior shooting of the first scene, but the key points will be Let’s take a look at the location shooting of the second scene.”
“The pizza shop owner came out first, followed by the mother, and then when they paused to talk, Jiyu walked over. Keep the composition balanced. This will keep the shot close-up and out of focus.”
"Then, the conversation ends. The boss moves, and the camera cuts to the middle shot and focuses. Kiyu runs over and has a one-on-one conversation with the boss. The camera slowly zooms in + double focus. At the same time, the group performer on the right comes to supplement with another pizza clerk Background composition."
"Then Ji Ting stepped in to form a two-on-one, and the group of actors who supplemented the composition sat down, and the camera continued to slowly advance, focusing on the three."
"Finally. , the mother joins, Ji Ting retreats, forming a triangle to surround the pizza owner, the camera cuts to a close-up, and the scene is stuck on the logo on the pizza owner’s chest.”
After speaking, Feng Junhao looked around and asked:
"Is there a problem?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Seeing this, Li Zhien subconsciously shook his head with a confused look on his face.
When other directors talk about plays, they always tell the actors how to present the scene they want.
Bong Joon-ho is so good. All he told the actors was the shooting sequence, and he didn’t mention a word about acting.
The key is that the moving lines he talked about were not particularly detailed.
This made Li Zhien, who was exposed to this shooting mode for the first time, confused.
Then, she was too embarrassed to ask, so she had to turn her head and look at Jin Qixuan.
Li Zhien originally thought that because of his acting skills that were praised by netizens in "My Uncle", it would be easy to play a guest role with a few simple lines here.
She even fantasized about enjoying delicious food and spending a sweet time with Jin Qixuan after filming.
However, reality gave her a huge blow.
After listening to Bong Joon-ho's narration, she was surprised to find that she couldn't keep up with the great director's rhythm.
It felt like a high school student being suddenly pulled to audit a graduate course.
Full of confusion, helplessness and helplessness.
On the side, he noticed Li Zhien's gaze.
Jin Qixuan turned his head.
When I saw her confused and helpless eyes, I couldn't help laughing.
Then, Jin Qixuan calmly raised his hand and held her little hand on his knee.
He squeezed it gently to signal her not to panic.
After a while, all relevant personnel dispersed and took their places.
Jin Qixuan turned around and asked:
“Don’t understand?”
Li Zhien nodded and said:
"I can understand every word, but when they are put together, I feel a little dizzy."
For Li Zhien.
From an idol TV actor to a movie directed by Bong Joon-ho.
This is like a college entrance examination student being pushed directly onto the battlefield for the postgraduate entrance examination.
Although they are all exams.
But the difficulty and depth are vastly different.
Her previous shooting experience didn't seem to be of much use here.
Because the shooting techniques of movies and TV series are fundamentally different.
TV dramas usually pay more attention to the display of plot and character relationships.
Movies, on the other hand, pay more attention to the composition of the picture, the use of light, and the deep exploration of the actor's heart.
"Director Feng is telling stories through the lens, conveying emotions and plot development through changes in composition and pictures."
As he said that, Jin Qixuan pulled Li Zhien to Bongjun Hao stood in front of him and said:
"Director Feng, can you explain the shooting movement and lens language to her in detail? Zhien is not a major, so she doesn't know much about these."
Hearing this, Bong Joonhao glanced at Li Zhien, He nodded and said:
"The shooting line is the movement route of the actor in front of the camera, including stance, walking, turning and other actions. These actions need to be carefully designed according to the position of the camera and the shooting needs. To achieve the best visual effects and emotional communication”
He pointed to the storyboard script on the whiteboard and continued to explain:
“For example, in this interior scene, you need to appear from the left, then stop in front of Kiwoo’s house and talk to Kiwoo’s mother. In During this process, you need to pay attention to your steps and movements. While maintaining the character's personality and emotions, you must also pay attention to the coordination with the camera position."
Feng Joon-ho then explained in detail. The concept and application of lens language:
"Lens language is a way to convey information and emotions through the camera's perspective and shooting techniques. For example, the movement of the lens such as pushing, pulling, panning, and moving, as well as factors such as focal length, scenery, composition, etc., will affect the audience's perception of the picture. Perception and understanding.”
“For example, in the first scene, we will use close shots to highlight your expressions and movements, use mid shots to show the interaction between you and Jiyu’s family, and use close shots to highlight the interaction between you and Jiyu’s family. Long shots are used to show the environment and atmosphere. The switching and combination of these shots are to allow the audience to better understand the plot and characters."
Here, Bong Joon-ho finished.
Jin Qixuan passed on the character sketch he had just written.
"Although it is a minor role, the performance must be intense and cannot be perfunctory."
Li Zhien took it over, read the text on it, and said in surprise:
"You actually prepared such a detailed biography for me?"
"Yes, I will definitely take care of you. Besides, it is easy to become numb after experiencing too many emotions, so it is better to take advantage of the freshness now. Immerse yourself."
Li Zhien nodded and began to read this biography attentively.
Xiaozhuan adopts a first-person perspective, allowing her to immerse herself in the world where the characters live.
The pizza shop she invested a huge sum of money to join was in poor business and was almost on the verge of bankruptcy.
However, just when she was at her wits' end.
An unexpected order brought her a turning point - a church needed to order 500 pizzas.
However, this order also brought new problems.
Due to financial constraints, she was unable to purchase enough finished paper shells in time to wrap the pizza. Fortunately, a student working in the store recommended her to a family called Ki-woo in the slums.
They are able to provide origami shell business at much lower than twice the market price.
This discovery gave her hope of solving the problem, and the two parties hit it off.
However, just the day before the acceptance, the student working in the store suddenly left without saying goodbye.
This makes the already understaffed pizza shop even more stretched.
What's worse is that the quality of the pizza boxes sold by Jiyu's family is also uneven, with one out of every four being substandard.
There is only one day left before the order deadline.
......
After reading these words, Li Zhien felt an unknown evil fire rushing straight into the sky.
Sure enough, poor people must be hateful!
So angry!
What should I do?
Without this order, the store will definitely go bankrupt.
Rent, grandma’s medical expenses, loans, ugh...
Li Zhien couldn’t help but froze for a moment at the thought.
Why……?
Why did you suddenly enter the role?
That moment just now.
She had even forgotten that she had enough money to open hundreds of chain pizza restaurants...
Jin Qixuan looked at her enlightened expression and said with a smile:
" Zhien, relax and don’t try to perform anything.”
"Just bring the mentality of the character into the performance. As an actor, never define the character. Just let your emotions show out naturally."
Hearing this, Li Zhien blinked, Asked:
“How do you know so much?”
"Want to know?"
"Hmm."
"Come to Central University for further studies. With your reputation, I can guarantee that you will be admitted without taking the exam."
"But...why should I sacrifice the near for the far?"
"Huh?"
Li Zhien pouted and said:
"Can't you teach me?"
Jin Qixuan looked at Li Zhien's cute appearance and couldn't help but reach out and rub her face.
“Ahem!”
Bong Joon-ho coughed twice, waved his hand to interrupt the two of them, and said:
“Get ready to start shooting.”
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien immediately stopped their joking attitude .
Everyone returned to their stations and waited for the machine to start.
Bong Joon-ho walked to the monitor and sat down, observing the shooting on the scene through the screen.
Photographers and videographers are also ready and waiting for the order to start shooting.
As the recorder shouted "Action!", the scene immediately entered shooting mode.
As the camera slowly rotated, Li Zhien began to enter the state.
She first knocked on Jiyu’s door with an expectant look on her face.
However, after checking all the pizza boxes, his face turned cold and his brows furrowed.
Then, he picked up the unqualified pizza box and started pointing at it in a bad tone, saying:
“The crimping line is twisted, there are indentations here, it’s not folded at all. It is a semi-finished product, so according to regulations, 10% of the salary will be deducted..."
...
With Bong Joon-ho’s “cut”.
The first one passed successfully.
Seeing this, Li Zhien shook his head happily towards Jin Qixuan and said:
"Zhien is awesome, one pass, Zhien is really amazing~"
Jin Qixuan looked at Li Zhien That smug look couldn't help but laugh.
This girl is getting cuter and cuter.
"Okay, stop being so pretty and prepare for the next show."
Hearing this, Li Zhien stuck out his tongue and nodded obediently.
Afterwards, everyone devoted themselves to the location shooting of the next scene.
The first interior scene has no redundant action lines and is a fixed-point shooting.
Coupled with the immersive biography written by Jin Qixuan for Li Zhien.
So, the shooting went smoothly.
But when we started shooting the second location scene, a problem arose.
Obviously, she was still a little confused about the movement.
Two consecutive NGs blocked the group performers who were supplementing the composition.
This made Li Zhien, who had just farted, become nervous.
Especially when she saw that Bong Joon-ho had pursed his lips, she felt even more embarrassed.
After all, if the filming is not good, it is not her own face that will be lost, but Jin Qixuan's.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan first apologized to all the staff.
Then, he walked up to Bong Joon-ho and said:
"Director Feng, can you please delay 5 minutes and I will demonstrate it to her."
"Okay."
So, Jin Qixuan turned into a pizza shop owner.
Song Kanghao played his role instead, giving Li Zhien a practical lesson in movement.
Throughout the whole process, Jin Qixuan’s movement was very clear.
Every action is just right, the lines are accurate, and the emotions are full.
Moreover, it works very well with the camera position and successfully brings out the emotions of the characters.
After the performance, the staff on site could not help but sigh in admiration.
Li Zhien was also stunned.
Although she knew that Jin Qixuan's acting skills were good, she didn't know the specific extent of his skills.
But this time, through two people playing the same role, she felt it.
“Do you understand?”
Jin Qixuan turned around and asked.
Li Zhien nodded.
“Then let me tell you the lens language again.”
Jin Qixuan started his teaching again.
This time, there was Jin Qixuan’s demonstration and explanation.
Li Zhien quickly mastered the basics of shooting movement and lens language.
So, there are no stupid actors.
Only directors who are too lazy to tell the story.
The third shooting started.
Li Zhien's performance has obviously improved a lot.
Not only did he successfully memorize his own shooting movements, but he was also able to freely show the character's emotions and personality in front of the camera.
Although there are occasional minor flaws, overall it performs quite well.
After this.
Another scene was filmed where Ki-woo and his family went to eat and drink in a pizza shop.
In this scene, the Ki-woo family has successfully become parasites of President Park’s family.
Status has undergone earth-shaking changes.
They have enough money now.
You can come to a pizza shop to spend money openly, and even start to be picky.
...
“Cut!”
With Bong Joon-ho’s order, the scene finally ended.
Li Zhien breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.
Here are the three scenes today.
It can be said to be the most difficult guest appearance in her life.
However, for Li Zhien.
The first movie shooting experience was quite good.
After that, Bong Joon-ho gave Jin Qixuan a half-day holiday.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan happily led Li Zhien back to the hotel room.
Since it was inconvenient to eat out, I ordered takeout.
While waiting for takeout.
The two of them took the time to make things happen.
……
Afterwards.
The two hugged each other and lay on the bed, enjoying the rare quiet time.
Jin Qixuan stroked Li Zhien's smooth back and asked softly:
"Some time ago, Senior Sunkyun asked me when we would make it public. What do you think about this matter?"
"I think, wait a little longer, the time has not come yet."
"I think so too."
The two people had the same idea.
But the concept of "the time has not come" is quite different.
What Jin Qixuan thought.
Both of their careers are on the rise.
It's such a big deal to go public with your relationship.
Of course it requires careful consideration.
After all, Lee Ji-eun is an idol singer-songwriter.
Her career is like that of most idols.
It all depends on the fans.
If it is suddenly made public, she will inevitably encounter a large number of followers.
Moreover, the nature of their work also determines that they cannot be together as often as ordinary couples.
But what Li Zhien thought was different from Jin Qixuan.
She wants to act in a sweet love drama with Jin Qixuan.
Then, let netizens criticize CP and spontaneously call for the two to be together.
Then, they let it take its course and made it public.
