Chapter 114 The First Time
At this time, Chen Linfeng was communicating with the photographer about the next shooting plan.
In the first half of the year, the teacher asked him to prepare the semester homework for the end of the year.
At that time, Chen Linfeng was thinking about what kind of work would not have very high specific requirements for the director, but would also be very surprising when finished.
He thought of this immediately.
Later, "Luo Shen Shui Fu" caused large-scale discussions on the Internet.
This short film is actually an underwater dance. There is no story at all. It relies entirely on the performance of the dancers, the shooting and post-editing of the photographer.
The artistic skills of the directing team cannot be underestimated. Generally speaking, apart from shortcomings, there are no shortcomings.
Liu Qianqian has dancing skills, and after a period of sudden practice, she can still try to shoot.
Chen Linfeng also specially invited the coach of the synchronized swimming team to come to the scene to provide guidance to prevent problems during the filming process.
In addition, he also invited famous dancers in the industry to ensure the shooting effect.
Photographers are all looking for top professionals who specialize in underwater photography. Photographers who specialize in small subjects are actually relatively easier to find.
Including makeup teacher, costume designer, venue, etc., all are top-notch.
Now, Chen Linfeng’s “hard-earned” money has finally been put to use.
He was looking forward to what it would be like for a peak fairy sister to play the role of a fairy-like Luo Shen.
Chen Linfeng introduced several teachers present to Liu Xiaoli and Liu Qianqian.
Liu Qianqian was confused and just nodded along.
Liu Xiaoli was quite satisfied after listening to the introduction.
She heard that her daughter had promised Chen Linfeng to star in his short film. She was worried and came over to have a look.
At least the scene looks good, which is in line with her consistent understanding of Xiao Chen.
There is still a way to do things.
Liu Qianqian went to the dressing room to put on makeup and change clothes as required, and Liu Xiaoli followed her in.
Shu Chang sat next to Chen Linfeng and exclaimed, "You spent a lot of money to make this film, right? I recognized a lot of people, and I felt it was hard to invite them."
She saw Several teachers behind the scenes are all people I have heard of before.
Look at the costume designer, he is Teacher Li Jianqun, and the others probably have a lot of background as well.
Chen Linfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said nothing.
Indeed, it cost a lot of money.
I really don’t have much reputation as a director, I’m not even as good as a novice.
At least most of the novice directors have gone through a complete academic education, or they are veterans who have been in various crews for a long time.
This is it, don’t even think about recruiting such big names.
So he had no other choice but to throw money at it.
After all, it was not ten years later that capital invaded and changed the style of play.
The current domestic film and television industry still operates in a manual workshop style.
It all depends on the director to bring the crew together. Only with a reliable director can there be works.
It’s not necessarily a good work. If it’s an insignificant work, it will fall apart if it’s not even half the work.
Those who work behind the scenes are just waiting for others to do the dishes, and rarely go to the crews of novices. Those who are also novices behind the scenes will go there.
Unless you add money, it has to be a short-term job.
As a newbie, Chen Linfeng could barely take care of the crew. After all, he was just making a short film and he didn’t need many people.
After waiting for a while, Liu Qianqian came out of the dressing room.
She was wearing a light red and white ancient costume, because she was dancing underwater, and she had a simple ancient bun on her head.
All the accessories on the body are gold and jade, just to reflect the light underwater and create a sparkling effect.
Different from his previous design which focused more on the Dunhuang Flying Sky Map, this time Li Jianqun focused more on constructing the image of the legendary Luo Shen.
The overall style refers to the Luo Shen pattern in ancient paintings, and then fits the aesthetics of modern people.
It looks like a fairy in Gushe. When paired with Liu Qianqian’s appearance, it is really amazing.
First of all, I just want to take an overall photo, and I can’t go into the water right away.
The dance teacher first teaches the movements. In fact, the movements are very simple and you cannot do complicated ones in the water.
After Liu Qianqian finished learning, she was guided by the synchronized swimming coach on how to perform movements in the water.
Two people practiced directly underwater, and they practiced for half a day.
It is now early September and the temperature has not dropped yet, but it is uncomfortable to be in the water for a long time.
Chen Linfeng asked people to prepare hot water in advance and add water at any time to keep the water temperature at about 30 degrees. Shu Chang stayed for a while and then left, mainly because he had finished watching the excitement and there was nothing left to see.
In the afternoon, we officially started trying to shoot.
Liu Qianqian had heavy objects dropped on her body to help her sink into the water, and fishing lines were wrapped around her body to pull her out in time.
The photographer also followed in the water.
Due to the limited time for each breath, plus the time for sinking and rising, the actual shooting time is even less.
In addition, Liu Qianqian was not a professional underwater dancer after all, which led to the slow progress of filming.
Fortunately, Chen Linfeng had anticipated this and allowed enough shooting time, so he was not in a hurry.
Liu Xiaoli felt distressed as she watched. After a whole day of ups and downs, she still didn’t get much content.
She discussed with her daughter whether to slow down or let Xiao Chen find someone else.
Liu Qianqian showed her tenacity at this time.
"Mom, I can't give up. Since I have become an actor, I have to endure hardships. It's just water. It doesn't matter. What's more, it's still warm water."
She can't be underestimated, especially Chen Linfeng cannot be looked down upon.
Liu Qianqian glanced at the director not far away, then turned her head back silently.
But it was really uncomfortable, my eyes were sore, and my body was so strangled by the fishing line that it felt like it was split.
She sniffed and told herself in her heart, "Liu Qianqian, you can do it, you can definitely do it."
The filming lasted a full week.
When Chen Linfeng announced that the filming was completed, Liu Qianqian burst into tears.
She whispered with a little cry, "Xiao Feng, if this short film doesn't look good, I will ignore you from now on."
Chen Linfeng knew in his heart that this only actor He patted her shoulder and said nothing.
For the next half month, he has been busy with the post-production of the short film.
Including sound effects, soundtrack, editing, etc., as well as a small number of special effects.
It will be October when everything is completed.
Chen Linfeng took the finished film and showed it to Liu Qianqian and Shu Chang in the screening room.
The movie ended, Chen Linfeng pressed pause, and the room was silent.
Shu Chang suddenly sighed, "I'm a little envious of Sissi."
She turned to look at Liu Qianqian, and then at Luo Shen on the screen, as if she was doubting her life.
“How can the photo be so beautiful!”
Liu Qianqian blushed a little when Shu Chang said it, and muttered, “Not really, you will be very beautiful if you dance this.”
She really didn’t expect that the finished film would turn out so well.
When I was watching it just now, I was in a daze, feeling that the person in the picture was not me.
The hard work during this period was instantly compensated, and doubled.
Chen Linfeng pressed the play button again and watched as the subtitles gradually scrolled out with the names of actors, directors and other staff members.
There is a strange feeling in my heart.
This is the first film I filmed in my life.
Thinking about it, I am quite lucky. The process of setting up the crew has been relatively smooth without any glitches.
Chen Linfeng recalled the entire preparation and shooting process, and felt that he still had to learn from scratch.
Brother Wang, the stage manager of Baolian Lantern, helped with the preparations for this time.
When we actually encounter problems, there are too many big guys in the crew. Many times, they help solve the problem because they are newbies.
However, it is good to experience the feeling of being led by a big boss in advance. At least many of the knowledge in it know where the key points are, and they can be strengthened in a targeted manner in the future.
