Chapter 341 Learning from Experience
Beijing.
Zhao Liying hung up the phone and the smile on her face suddenly fell. She had thought very well and went to visit Director Xu after filming "Golden Wedding". Who knew that Director Xu had gone to the Northeast to film "Assembly".
This can only be blamed on her being too closed to the public. Anyone with a little bit of connections in the circle can find out about the launch of "Assembly" in Shenyang.
To be honest, Xiao Zhao is quite confused now.
Joining the cast to film "Golden Wedding" this time made her more aware of the gap between herself and professional actors or talented actors.
Sometimes during filming, she felt like a misfit.
If it weren't for Tuo Huayi's relationship, she felt that it would be almost impossible to win this role based on her own abilities.
But after this poor performance, will Huayi give himself more opportunities?
The strong sense of crisis made Xiao Zhao more and more eager to find someone above her - she finally entered the entertainment industry through the draft, but she did not just go to the first round to experience life!
However, it was such an unlucky coincidence that I missed the opportunity that I had so easily grasped.
Why don't you just go to the Northeast to visit?
But Director Xu didn't say anything, so he went all the way to deliver it. Wasn't it too cheap and too unreserved?
…………
Shenyang.
Suddenly, several leading actors and guest actors who were destined to die today arrived at the filming scene early in the morning.
Among the ruins that were still dusty yesterday, chemical fertilizers have been spread evenly now, and there is a pungent smell everywhere. Although it is not unbearable, it is still unbearable if you lie on it. .
"This smell is really..."
Ren aldehyde covered his nose with a look of disgust on his face. He played the former instructor of the Nine Company, the radical who was blown into two pieces in the movie.
Xu Kun advised after hearing this: "Be patient, Director Feng almost got sick just sitting down waiting for a snowfall."
He seems to be very adaptable. When he and Bao Qiang were playing small roles, he had seen a lot more harsh environments than this.
As he was talking, he came to the sandbag bunker in the first scene of the camera and saw assistant director Guo Xiaojun leading several extras who were pretending to be corpses. Xu Kun habitually gestured to the frame in front of his eyes with his hands.
Extending his sight out of the 'frame', he found that the 'bodies' were concentrated on both sides of the barricade, half lying on their stomachs and half lying on their backs. The lying ones were facing forward and backward, and the lying ones were basically facing the sandbag bunker.
It seems that these few people should be related to the group performance.
Xu Kun looked at it for a while, then suddenly he turned over the sandbag with his hand, walked up to Guo Xiaojun, and whispered: "Brother Guo, isn't this road too clean?"
As he spoke, he reached out and stretched from the sandbag bunker to the position at the end.
"Aren't you afraid of stumbling or stepping on someone?"
Guo Xiaojun held the script in his hand and said: "It is written in the script that a row of telephoto Dapeng led the team quickly through the sandbag bunker. Halfway through, they found that the situation was different, so they stopped and stayed on guard - if the road was too messy, How to pass quickly?”
"I know the script, but the way it is done is too clean, and it seems a bit deliberate - why don't you ask first if there are any extras who are willing to volunteer if there is a close-up shot of their faces."
After Xu Kun finished speaking, he went to find Feng Xiaogang to make suggestions, regardless of whether Guo Xiaojun agreed or not.
When Guo Xiaojun saw this, he had no choice but to obey. After all, Xu Kun was also the first deputy director, so doing so was not considered overstepping.
After finding Feng Xiaogang, Xu Kun expressed his thoughts and said: "This is what I think. When a platoon leader and his people rush in, they can first use an elevation shot to let Lao Zhang and his people jump over the camera.
Wait for the last two to change to an overhead shot, and film them stepping over the corpse.
This way, the road will not look too "empty and clean", and it can also reflect the cruelty of war earlier - Uncle Feng, do you think this can be done? ”
Feng Xiaogang converted Xu Kun's description into pictures in his mind, and quickly agreed. For Xu Kun, he is still prepared to give him a certain degree of freedom. After all, he is the fifth person with a box office of over 100 million, and he is also a relatively close junior. Of course, it is only a certain degree of freedom. He will not let people do it like Lu Chuan. In turn, control.
Of course, Xu Kun wanted to rebel against Tiangang in his crew, but he still lacked some moral integrity.
In doing so, Xu Kun not only felt that this change was more appropriate, but also took the opportunity to declare his status in the crew - his only title in the past thirty years. Not everyone in the crew was convinced.
The two returned to the sandbag shelter together.
Feng Xiaogang called Zhang Hanyu and several commandos, and began to rearrange the action of the shots, and asked them to try running back and forth several times to determine the shooting position.
Xu Kun followed him throughout the whole process, silently keeping Feng Xiaogang's every move in mind.
He also tried this kind of multi-camera collaborative shooting method in the filming of "The World", but compared to the battles in "Assembly", it pales in comparison.
To shoot the new movie you envisioned, multi-camera collaboration is definitely a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
When the decoration was almost done, Feng Xiaogang, who was wearing old cotton shoes, stamped his feet and muttered: "Hey, it's so cold and it's not snowing yet!"
Then he confessed to Guo Xiaojun, and Guo Xiaojun immediately picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "All departments should seize the time to prepare, and the test shooting will start in fifteen minutes!"
"Received."
"Get it!"
"Received~"
There are six assistant directors in this play - including Xu Kun - and six camera operators, plus various assistants, scene notes, stage management, recording...
This overwhelming response made Xu Kun feel the difference between a blockbuster film and a small-budget one before filming officially started.
Back behind the sandbag bunker, Xu Kun lay down in the C position, went over his lines with Ren Aldehyde again, and then began to wait quietly for the decision.
Following Feng Xiaogang's order, Xu Kun immediately put his mouth to the loudspeaker: "Cough, cough, brothers of the 168th Division of the Jiang Army, Gu Zidi, commander of the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 139th Regiment of the Second Division of the Central Plains Field Army..."
Following his slightly hoarse but powerful voice, the camera slowly moved down from the war-torn streets, then switched to a close-up shot of him shouting, and then swept across the waiting soldiers of the Ninth Company behind him.
The rows of telephoto Dapeng that are eating big cakes are undoubtedly the most eye-catching among them.
Immediately after the scene switched back, Xu Kun grabbed the kettle and was about to unscrew it when he was stabbed by Ren Aldehyde behind him, urging: "Lao Gu, don't be like this idiot...cough, cough, cough! ”
Halfway through, Ren aldehyde accidentally inhaled some fertilizer that had been dropped by the wind, and immediately choked and coughed.
Xu Kun hurriedly handed over the kettle. He raised his head, took a sip and gargled his mouth. He stood up and vomited where no one was. Then he cupped his hands to everyone and said, "Sorry, sorry."
< br>
Feng Xiaogang didn't say anything, but watched the replay first and found that there was nothing wrong with the previous shot of the street, but the shot of the soldiers seemed to be a little too fast.
So he ordered: "Start from the close-up view of the millet field and start over."
Hearing this, Ren aldehyde quickly lay down next to Xu Kun.
After that, similar accidents happened several times to different people, which made Feng Xiaogang quite unhappy.
But he couldn't blame the actor. After all, the stuff was supposed to choke the nose, and it would be even more unbearable if it was sucked into the mouth.
In addition, the more people there are, the greater the chance of something going wrong, so the progress in the morning was not very great. We just finished shooting the scene where Zhang Hanyu led the commandos into the courtyard and exchanged fire with the enemy.
