Chapter 73: Tribute to "The Lonely Agent" (fourth update, please follow up)
Hey... when will I be able to succeed!
Boss, will the promise of an annual salary of 200,000 yuan be fulfilled?
Zhong Xiaoyu was feeling sorry for herself, then turned around to see her boss flirting with Liu Yifei, and rolled her eyes silently.
The filming in the next few days went on in an orderly manner. After the crew gradually adapted to the filming work, Zhang Xiaofei and Tan Songyun returned to the crew.
Li Mingyang immediately filled up the filming schedule and started to catch up on the progress.
Usually, filming is not done according to the order of the script, but according to the scene.
All scripts are numbered according to scenes, and then a plan is made on which scenes to shoot every day.
Scenes of the same scene will be shot together.
But bouquets are not enough. Li Mingyang's experiential acting method requires filming step by step and in accordance with the order of the script.
The advantage of this is that it is easier for the actors to film, but there are many disadvantages. It is difficult for the crew to transition, and they have to run back and forth, which is a waste of time and money.
Almost no producers would agree to this shooting method.
But the producer, director, and starring actor are all Li Mingyang himself, and he can film whatever he wants.
It's a bit expensive, but the most important thing in a romance film is the status of the actors. Li Mingyang is very clear about this.
So he took a rare moment of generosity and rented a big bus to save time on the road.
After all, the crew has to run back and forth between the staff dormitory compound and various filming locations.
Dapeng is responsible for the scene layout in the studio in the dormitory compound.
Xiao Yang and Wu Zhikui are responsible for the planning of the location.
Li Mingyang is only responsible for filming and coordinating. As Liu Yifei's condition gets better and better, Liu Xiaoli's bottom line is getting lower and lower.
The crew's progress was astonishing, and it took only five days to reach the most important turning point of the entire movie.
The male protagonist shaves his head and prepares to enter society.
Everyone thought this scene would end soon.
Unexpectedly, the filming of this scene was extremely slow, and Li Mingyang was uncharacteristically strict with the lighting and props.
"My Mai! When are you going to start shooting? I've been sleeping for more than an hour." Liu Yifei said while stretching in her military coat.
"Come on, if you feel bored, just take a nap again." Li Mingyang raised his hands in a frame and compared the angles, looking more focused than ever before.
Liu Yifei didn't know what to say when she saw this, so she found a stool and sat down, holding her face in her hands, watching boredly as Li Mingyang tirelessly played with props, adjusted lights, and communicated with Wu Zhikui about shooting techniques.
Ten minutes later, Li Mingyang finally started filming.
When Li Mingyang took off his coat, revealing his strong upper body, and picked up the blade, Liu Yifei blinked, what is this for?
Shave your head and take off your clothes!
With a sizzle, Li Mingyang cut off the curls on his temples, and strands of hair fell to the ground. Then he grabbed his own hair with one hand and started pushing it with an electric pusher in the other.
With the sound of the electric pusher, large swaths of hair fell out. When the long curly hair turned into short hair, Li Mingyang held the clipper against his scalp with one hand and started pushing.
The main camera's lens zooms in, moves up from the chest, and finally freezes on the face, while the secondary camera's lens circles around Li Mingyang and finally freezes behind Li Mingyang, looking diagonally at Li Mingyang in the mirror. .
Long curly hair becomes short.
Li Mingyang started from his forehead and slowly wiped it backwards, staring calmly at himself in the mirror. Then the camera turned and Li Mingyang put on a shirt and a black suit.
"Click!"
Li Mingyang snapped his fingers, and this long-running highlight was finally over.
Liu Yifei trotted over, stared at Li Mingyang's new look for a while, and said with a smile: "You look good with your flat hair. It's more handsome than long hair, and it's very masculine." "You also know how to be masculine. ?" Li Mingyang joked.
“Humph!”
Tianxian got angry, turned around proudly, and ran to find her mother.
This scene pays tribute to the uncle Won Bin in The Lone Hero.
Li Mingyang liked Yuan Bin's performance very much. When filming short plays, he often used this performance. He was very familiar with it and managed to finish it in one shot smoothly.
The shooting was over and things started to be cleaned up. Li Mingyang returned to his chair, drank water and rested.
I didn’t drink two ounces of water.
Tan Songyun ran over and squatted in front of Li Mingyang, "Mingyang, the crew called me just now. They don't want me anymore. The role I finally got is gone."
Li Mingyang said with a guilty conscience: " Why are you gone again?”
“It’s not you. It’s not good to offend anyone. You have to offend Director Feng. It’s very difficult for Xiaofei and I to audition now. When people ask me if I know you, I just I knew there was no chance... This drama was introduced to me by my friend, and we agreed that within a few days they would no longer want to use me."
At this time, Zhang Xiaofei also came over and silently knelt down next to Tan Songyun. Beside him, although he didn't say anything, his meaning was obvious.
What should we do?
"Hua Yi doesn't talk about martial ethics!" Li Mingyang sighed in a pretentious manner.
"Stop acting, you must have expected it." Tan Songyun said aggrievedly: "We don't want to act on the sidelines, that's not a good road to go, we want to act normal."
"Wait. I finished the movie."
The two women rolled their eyes in unison. They heard this sentence dozens of times on the set.
Whenever someone comes to Li Mingyang to complain, Li Mingyang will use this sentence to deal with it, and it has almost become his mantra.
Zhang Xiaofei sighed and walked away silently.
Seeing Xiao Fei leaving, Tan Songyun put his hands on Li Mingyang's legs, leaned forward, leaned against Li Mingyang's knees, and said while shaking, "I don't want to listen to Xu, please comfort me, please comfort me." . ”
This is not asking for comfort! It's obvious that he wants to do it!
……
On January 25th, New Year’s Eve, the crew had a day off and set up three tables in the yard to celebrate the Spring Festival together.
Those working in the film and television industry rarely get to celebrate the New Year at home, and it is common for them to celebrate the New Year on the set.
Except for Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, the crew did not come. They had a dinner at the China World Trade Center.
Dayun is not here either, and his father is also in Hengdian. Li Mingyang asked him to have a reunion dinner, and asked him about the attitude of his father, stepmother, and Huayi.
Zhang Ruoyun's father is with Liu Pei again. They will celebrate the Spring Festival together this year. The two of them will get married soon.
His father has his own circle and has a good relationship with Lao Zhang.
And his stepmother Liu Pei is even more awesome, her connections are even better than his father's, and she is very familiar with Feng Pants and Xu Fan.
Zhang Ruoyun was unhappy with this arrangement, but she went anyway.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ruoyun came back, looking very bad, as if he had eaten a fly.
"Dayun, did you find anything useful?" Li Mingyang handed Zhang Ruoyun a bottle of beer and said.
Zhang Ruoyun took the beer and gestured to the room.
The two came to the house. Zhang Ruoyun took a sip of beer and said, "My dad said, If You Are the One is a huge success, Huayi no longer has any worries. They will definitely mess with you. Don't take any chances. My dad's woman said, You'd better ask Wang Jinghua, she and Hua Yi won't fight."
