Chapter 40 Bouquet is on, Rhythm Talent
Taking one shot and watching one, it is already difficult for Li Mingyang to get into the role, and it is even more difficult to get into the role.
It was just a walking scene. Except for Zhang Ruoyun, no one else saw the problem.
But the scene in the restaurant in the afternoon was not good.
Indoor scenes, face-fighting shots, emotions must be written on the face.
Li Mingyang acted part after part, but just couldn't get into it.
The actors were dumbfounded.
“Let’s shoot here first today.”
Li Mingyang was a little discouraged and ended the work early and didn’t want to hold any film viewing party.
"Director Li, come on!" Liu Yifei clenched her hands into fists and encouraged.
Li Mingyang smiled bitterly and waved goodbye to Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei looked at Li Mingyang's haggard back, tilting her head, her eyes full of confusion.
I really don’t understand why Li Mingyang’s acting skills are so poor, he can’t even handle the most basic emotions.
The lines are not good either...the limbs are a little stiff.
It is not possible to make a TV series at this level, let alone a movie, the shortcomings will be infinitely magnified...
...
On the way back to the company.
Just when Li Mingyang was worried about acting, Zeng Jia called and told him that the film license for "Bouquet of Love" had been obtained.
A film license is important.
If you shoot illegally without a permit, you will be severely fined.
Not only will the business license be revoked, but special tools and equipment for illegal business activities will also be confiscated;
Without criminal liability and no illegal gains, you will still be fined heavily, ranging from as little as two hundred thousand to as much as five One hundred thousand.
With the film permit, you can choose a date to start shooting.
In the next two days, Li Mingyang communicated with Cai Yinong and called back the three people working on the Fairy Sword 3 crew.
Then follow the list to negotiate the rental contract for the shooting location.
If you want to save money, you have to negotiate with him. Who wants to let him have peach blossoms?
In one day, Li Mingyang rode an electric bike to more than a dozen places and secured a shooting location at a price that was half cheaper than Qiao Shan and Xiao Yang.
Parks, streets, restaurants, bus stations, housing...
Of course the exteriors are the best in Shanghai and Shanghai, but there is no money.
And with the angels around, you have to report in advance and communicate the time and location when shooting in the magic city, which is very troublesome.
I can only go back and shoot some additional scenes.
On October 15th, the bouquet of love officially started.
There was no grand opening ceremony. The location was on a remote road. A table was set up, some fruits were placed, and a banner was hung.
There is no huge group of people, only a dozen people behind the scenes and a dozen starring actors.
There was no media interview. After the incense was laid and the group photo was taken, Li Mingyang divided the tribute and the filming officially started.
Everything was so crude, Liu's mother shook her head when she saw it. If Li Mingyang hadn't been so good, she would never have agreed to her daughter filming such a small production.
Liu Yifei entered the entertainment industry at the age of fifteen, and Liu Xiaoli has been following her to take care of her daily life and diet.
Have been in the crews of many big productions, including Golden Family, Legend of Sword and Fairy, The Legend of Condor Heroes, and The King of Kung Fu.
I have met many great directors.
In her mind, the better the director, the more versatile he is.
And Li Mingyang is very versatile and can really do everything.
The director is the soul of the crew. Others behind the scenes can make do, but the director must be excellent.
After watching it for several days, Liu Xiaoli recognized Li Mingyang’s directorial ability.
But as an actor, Li Mingyang's acting skills are another story. It's too embarrassing.
Before the filming started, Liu Xiaoli came behind Li Mingyang and said, "Do you really want to play the male lead?"
Li Mingyang looked at the monitor and said without looking back: "Aunt Liu, please don't stand behind me."
During the filming of the crew, the monitor will be placed in front of the director. Without permission, other people will You can't stand behind the director and look at the monitor. You want to watch it, I want to watch it, there are no rules, a bunch of people are crowded behind the director, how can the director concentrate.
Of course Liu Xiaoli knew this rule, but she didn't expect Li Mingyang to be so serious.
She came to Li Mingyang and said what she just said again.
"This is not a problem for you to worry about. I will be responsible for the movie." Li Mingyang glanced at the camera, picked up the loudspeaker, and asked two stand-ins, Zhong Xiaoyu and Zhang Ruoyun, to walk into the screen from outside the camera.
All major domestic directors have their own unique skills.
The National Master is a master of color.
Feng Pants can tell stories.
Jiang Wen is good at writing scripts and has brilliant lines.
Ning Hao is good at multi-line narrative.
Maybe it’s because I’ve done too many short plays, or maybe I already have talent.
What Li Mingyang is best at is the rhythm of movie plots.
After watching a movie, the plot rhythm of that movie will be imprinted in Li Mingyang's mind.
Movies generally follow a three-act structure, including the setting in the first act, the confrontation in the second act, and the climactic ending in the third act.
The plot structures of movies are diverse, such as looping nested structures, intertwined contrast structures, time-space interlaced structures, etc...
Li Mingyang has watched countless movies and summed up a simple routine.
Begin, foreshadow, advance, turn, foreshadow, advance, climax, and end.
When writing a script, according to the story outline, fill in the story at every beat to enrich the whole story and make the story flesh and blood.
When writing the script of Love in a Bouquet, Li Mingyang watched the original movie many times.
Although it is impossible to restore the film's picture details, Li Mingyang has all the plot rhythms imprinted in his mind.
Seeing that the set was about the same and the staff were in place, Li Mingyang did not call for action, but stood up, held a loudspeaker and said: "For the official shooting, I will raise the requirements, and you can't keep up with my pace. The staff will either transfer or leave. We have worked together for so long. I hope that no one will be left behind after the filming is completed."
After that, Li Mingyang sat down slowly and took a deep breath. , looked at Xiao Yang aside.
Assistant director Xiao Yangguang, holding a loudspeaker, shouted: "All departments are getting ready, the first shooting of the first scene!"
"The lights are in place!"
< br>
"Camera is in place!"
"Recording is in place!"
"Actors are in place!"
"Action!"
……
In early November, the production of Bouquet was suspended.
Tianxian is going to Xiangjiang. After staying in Xiangjiang for a while, he will return to the United States.
I will return to China in mid-January next year and continue shooting.
Early in the morning, Li Mingyang drove Tianxian mother and daughter to Yiwu Airport.
When getting off the car, Liu Yifei lay on the window, feeling distressed and speechless and said: "Director Li, if it doesn't work, let Zhang Ruoyun play! I feel so uncomfortable when you act..."
This sentence made Li Mingyang quite defensive.
Since the start of production for more than half a month, the filming work of the crew has mainly focused on Liu Yifei.
Except for Li Mingyang and Liu Yifei, everyone else has no experience in making movies and they are all newcomers.
The filming did not go smoothly at the beginning. Li Mingyang had to spend a lot of time controlling and teaching step by step.
In the process of constant error correction, Li Mingyang demoted several people with extremely poor understanding to field staff, allowing Wu Zhikui and Xiao Yang to take on more tasks, and then the crew began to operate smoothly.
When it comes to acting, the gods are talented, but no one teaches them.
Hong Kong circles regard mainland actresses as vases, as long as they look good.
Gong Huang's acting skills are good enough. In Tang Bohu's Dian Qiuxiang, he turned into a silly elder sister with no acting skills.
Filming in that kind of atmosphere, it’s amazing how much her acting skills have improved.
