Chapter 170 Confrontation
At 7 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Chen arrived at the set. The camera team and lighting team were already in place and were busy setting up machines, laying slide rails, and adjusting light and light ratios.
Chen Xi saw Zhang Chen and said hello. She gets up very early every day. In terms of dedication, no one in the entire crew can match her.
Well, I can’t roll her up.
Photographer Song Xiaofei, the art director and his photography assistant are playing with the lens, while the props and scenery team are setting up the scene, and shouts can be heard from time to time.
The entire crew was busy.
The actors also came one after another, and many of them met Zhang Chen for the first time.
Li Xiaowan brought her son Lin Shen over to say hello, and Zhang Chen responded enthusiastically.
"Hello, Director Zhang~"
"Hello to you~"
Turning around and talking to her mother: "When did Sister Xiaowan come over?"
"Just two days ago, during the script reading, Director Zhang's crew was indeed regular. Now in our country, we are still insisting on it. There are not many people around to read the script.”
Haha, Zhang Chen, the filming task this time is very tight, "Dark Invasion 2" will be released on February 14, Zhang Chen hopes to do it in 20 days. The filming must be completed within 25 days at most. Otherwise, if he goes back to attend the premiere, the crew will have to stop work, and Jiang Wenli will also have to go back by then. Her husband's "Peacock" is also released on Valentine's Day, so she will definitely have to go back.
After reading in the past few days, everyone has a clear idea of what they want to do next.
"Director Zhang~"
"Sissi is here~"
Zhang Chen greeted Liu Tianxian and his daughter, "How was the effect of the script reading?"
"It's very good. I have the foundation of the reading. I am more confident now.”
Liu Tianxian is very ambitious. She said herself that she wants to be an actor like Audrey Hepburn.
I can only say that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.
I don’t know how Godfather Chen persuaded Zhang Dabeard. He probably spent money. Anyway, the fairy sister asked for ten days’ leave.
It took three days to read the script, and they planned to finish filming Liu Tianxian's scenes within five days.
The props and scenery were almost ready, but Xu Qing and Jiang Wenli arrived belatedly.
Chen Xi patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder and nuzzled at the two of them.
Zhang Chen made an 'OK' gesture to reassure her.
He sat on the director's chair with great dignity, his position was very conspicuous, and his meaning was very clear, labor and management are here today, and you both are honest.
Seeing Zhang Chen's expression, the two of them immediately stepped a few steps faster.
"Director Zhang~"
"Director Zhang~"
They each greeted each other, and the agent behind them also smiled and nodded.
Zhang Chen waved his hand: "Okay, everyone has almost arrived. You have all got the shooting plan. We will shoot the daughter's scenes first, and the relevant actors will try out the scenes first..."
Following Zhang Chen's shout, the crew suddenly became busy.
The director is the soul of the crew.
The first scene is between Liu Tianxian and Lin Shen. Sucha got the video of An An's naked body and used it to blackmail An An into submission.
This was originally a night scene, but it didn’t matter. It was an indoor scene anyway, and it could still be shot by adjusting the lighting.
Trial, I feel like it's almost done, ready for real shooting~
The assistant director shouted with a loudspeaker: "Everyone, be quiet, prepare for real shooting, lighting, camera, props, actors' entrance, set management preparation. Everyone The units listen to my command. "
The deputy director shouted at the top of his lungs with a loudspeaker. Every time he called a unit, the relevant person in charge would agree.
“The first scene, the first act, the first shot, once, Action!”
As the scene was set, the camera turned, and the film inside began to burn. This is all money. ah.
In fact, digital cameras had already appeared at this time, and the cost of shooting was much lower than that of film. However, magnetic transfer to film was still required after filming, because the projection equipment did not support it, and the copies were all from film.
It will take a few years, after digital copies appear, for digital cameras to be widely used.
But digital cameras also have a disadvantage, that is, the color will be different, and each camera is different.
Extremely unfriendly to multi-camera shooting.
The filming officially started, the people around were silent, and only the actors were left performing in the middle.
The crew also watched the filming quietly...
Su Cha approached An An with a handheld DV and a lewd smile on his face.
"There is a scene here of you changing clothes. If you don't want me to spread it, then just let me..."
"Ka~"
Zhang Chen called to stop.
Unexpectedly, the first game did not go well.
Zhang Chen raised his voice: "Lin Shen, don't always pretend to be acting, you are going to play a gangster now, show off your ruffian spirit..."
"Good director, Sorry, sorry, I'll try again..."
Lin Shen's attitude is very upright, and it's not just Zhang Chen who has always said this, many people have said it, but he just can't change it.
"Also, Sissi, your emotions can be more intense. Okay, let's do it again..."
The assistant director called again: "The first scene of "Manslaughter", the first act, the first shot, the second time, Action!"
Nothing unexpected happened this time, it was a one-time event.
Then the lights were turned on and the mother played by Xu Qing appeared.
Originally I wanted to shock Sucha, but I didn’t expect Sucha didn’t care at all and even wanted to take his mother with him.
Xu Qing needs to show her beauty here, otherwise why would you, an old lady like you, make Sucha have evil thoughts?
But showing beauty is not about showing off, it must be inadvertent.
This is actually a bit difficult.
Because the script is set in a small place in Thailand, everyone wears ordinary clothes and does not wear heavy makeup. In addition, the weather here is hot, and everyone's face looks wet with sweat, which really has nothing to do with beauty and sexiness.
But the Holy Aunt is the Holy Aunt, and she can accurately express this emotion with just two talking eyes.
"Ka, passed, ready for the next one..."
Zhang Chen is very satisfied with everyone's performance. The script reading is still very useful. At least for this kind of scene that is not too difficult, the filming progress is very fast. .
I spent the whole morning shooting and it went very smoothly.
During lunch, Chen Xi and Zhang Chen gathered together and looked at the two groups of people who were living peacefully together. They were amazed: "How did you do it? They were not like this yesterday..."
Zhang Chen puffed up his chest: "I told them to pat them, not to roll them away, and then they calmed down obediently."
"I believe you, you big-headed ghost~" Chen Xi spat, feeling unreal every time at this time.
You are already a billionaire director, can you stop being so funny!
Zhang Chen was joking with Chen Xi when he looked up and saw a figure walking towards them.
"Come on, I'm leaving now. I won't be a light bulb here anymore."
Chen Xi stood up, said hello to Jiang Wenli, and then left with his rice bowl.
Jiang Wenli sat down next to him and looked at the food in front of Zhang Chen.
"I thought the director's food would be better than ours, but it looks almost the same..."
Zhang Chen laughed, and then said, "Sister Wen Li, is there something wrong?"
Jiang Wenli smiled and said: "I would like to discuss whether you can focus on filming my scenes first?"
"Is there something urgent?"
"Well, Gu Changwei's "Peacock" was nominated for the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. I want to accompany him to Berlin."
"Oh, that's right. After filming Liu Yifei's scenes, priority will be given Actually, we are all similar when it comes to filming you. "Dark Invasion 2" is also scheduled for Valentine's Day, and I also want to finish filming before then."
"Thank you so much."
< br>Continuing in the afternoon, Zhang Chen discovered a problem.
If Liu Tianxian is himself, that’s no problem.
It would be no problem for Liu Tianxian and Lin Shen to play together.
But if Liu Tianxian plays with Xu Qing or Jiang Wenli, it will be a big problem.
There is really no harm without comparison.
Liu Tianxian's acting skills are definitely not good, but looking at it alone, it's okay, at least it's passable.
But once he is in the same frame as Jiang Xu, no one will be left behind.
This happened several times in a row.
Zhang Chen looked at the screen and thought. Liu Tianxian thought it was something he did wrong that aroused the director's disgust, so he sneaked over.
After watching the replay twice, she also discovered the problem.
But... there is no solution~
We can’t let Jiang and Xu just sit back and act.
Xu Qing's role is okay, she is a mother after all, so it doesn't matter if she is a little weaker.
But Jiang Wenli plays the police chief and the villain.
Her words and deeds are very aura. To a large extent, this is how she feels oppressed as the villain.
"Okay, Sissi, you take a break first, change your state, let's film the scenes of those two rivals first..."
Since there is no solution, then let's not solve it first. The question is put aside.
The next scene is the confrontation between the mother Ayu played by Xu Qing and the police chief played by Jiang Wenli.
The police chief has seen through the tricks Ayu used, but unfortunately, she has no evidence.
The two men glared at each other and stood on opposite sides of the screen.
This composition is very interesting.
Many movies use this composition to illustrate the confrontation between good and evil.
The police chief decided to use some shady means to find a breakthrough from the youngest daughter.
"Say~" Jiang Wenli's hysterical expression was very scary, and with a roar, the young actor Guan Xiaotong was really frightened and cried.
Zhang Chen did not shout "Ka", but let them continue to play.
Everyone is very full of emotions now. If you interrupt them forcefully, it will not be so easy to brew them again.
The mother Ayu, played by Xu Qing, protects her little daughter behind her and glares at the police chief.
Jiang Wenli said: "We are all mothers. You should know how much a mother can do for her children?"
Xu Qing glared and said the classic line: 'Some children are Children, some children, are demons...'
Oh, why did I think of "Seeing the Devil" again while patting it.
This scene will definitely suit the American taste.
“Ka~” Zhang Chen finally shouted to stop.
Then I heard the sound of applause from around me.
This performance by the two of them is so outstanding.
Generally speaking, Jiang Wenli's explosive power is stronger, which is required by the role. Because of this, this role belongs to her.
Xu Qing's performance is not as impressive as Jiang Wenli's, but it is not easy to play against her without being overpowered.
Everyone was generous with their praise, but Jiang Wenli was still holding the young Guan Xiaotong and comforting her softly.
"Are you okay? It was just a filming, don't take it seriously..."
She was really afraid of scaring the children. After all, her explosive power just now was too strong, and it might leave a psychological impact on the children. shadow.
