Chapter 186 Lens language.
"It's finally turned on. I've been reading this drama for several months." Zhou Xun let out a sigh of relief after finishing his incense.
Everyone looked at each other, and then laughed, they were all veteran actors, and it was rare to see a good script, so they were naturally itchy.
Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Gao Qunshu said with a smile: "Then let's start."
"The sound of the wind, the first act, the first scene, action."
East China Japanese Command.
A female killer in white is tied to a torture device. Wang Tianxiang, played by Wang Zhiwen, is holding a brush and smiling at the female killer:
"Well, it's really fragrant. This is a kind of spice. It comes from Ceylon. Ba Niu likes it the most. Tell me, sooner or later, you have to tell me, where did your information come from?"
Originally, the spice in Chen Guofu's script came from Sri Lanka. Later, after checking by the screenwriter team, it was found that Sri Lanka in 1940 should be called Ceylon, and the name was not changed until 1972.
"Crack, another one."
In fact, in this scene, Wang Zhiwen's performance is already excellent. Most people who play such a sinister role, even if they laugh, are sneering, but Wang Zhiwen does the opposite. Really laughing makes people feel more creepy.
However, movies are no better than TV dramas, as long as there are no problems, you can go through it. When making movies, many times, when the director feels that a shot does not achieve the desired effect, it is common for the director to retake several times. The first one comes naturally.
"Ka, this one is over, let's serve food." Finally, when the third one was photographed, Gao Qunshu was satisfied.
In fact, Zhou Xing couldn't see that there was anything wrong with the performance of the actors in the third and the first article.
"In the first article, the sun shines on the female killer. In the third article, the sun only shines on her face, and her body is hidden in the darkness. This kind of light contrast can highlight the female killer's current state. , This is called lens language.”
Zhou Xing rolled his eyes secretly, well, sure enough, the director must be a literary youth. If it were placed here for Zhou Xing, he would either ask the lighting engineer to create a similar effect, or wait until the sunlight can achieve the desired effect before shooting.
Of course, the complaints belong to the complaints, and Zhou Xing has to admit that the director's grasp of the language of the camera is beyond the understanding of ordinary actors.
"What are you talking about? It's mysterious." The female killer, no, it should be Liu Weiwei who came over.
Speaking of which, Liu Weiwei and Zhou Xing are old partners. In [Conquest], she played Li Mei, the woman who has been by Liu Huaqiang's side all the time. However, in fact, she is Gao Qunshu's girlfriend .
"Aren't I envious of Lao Gao? He's such a bear, but he can still find such a beautiful girlfriend. If I knew what acting department I was going to take, I'd rather be a director." Zhou Xing teased.
Liu Weiwei blushed, and spat angrily: "Bah, come on, you men must not have said anything good behind your back, don't spoil our boss."
Gao Qunshu gave Liu Weiwei a thumbs up, acting like you still know me, Zhou Xing was speechless for a while, and was fed a handful of dog food early in the morning, how will he live in the future?
Of course, Zhou Xing was not idle, in this drama, Takeda has a lot of Japanese lines, in fact, as a professional actor, he should have prepared before the filming started, but at the end of last year, Zhou Xing was busy Running the road show of [Ip Man], I have never had time to practice.
Fortunately, his memory has reached 100, and he has improved rapidly with practice. The Japanese translator he hired soon lost his job.
After the lunch break, filming continued.
In the East China Headquarters, Takeda, played by Zhou Xing, walked quickly in the corridor of the dungeon. Just as he passed the intersection, two people emerged from the darkness.
"Master Takeda." Wang Tianxiang, played by Wang Zhiwen, bowed. Another man was carrying a small box, took off his hat, and bent over with a smile on his face.
Takeda paused and turned to look at them.
"You must be the sixth master, long-awaited." Zhou Xing's awkward Mandarin lines caught everyone's eyes.
What is line skills? This is called line skills. Learning a language is actually a basic skill for an actor, but it is rare for an actor like Zhou Xing to mix Mandarin with a Japanese accent, because people always have inertia Yes, when you learn a language, you will blurt it out naturally, which is much more difficult than simply speaking Japanese lines.
"Don't dare, Taijun's Chinese is really good." The man who plays the sixth master is always smiling. His smile is flattering and flattering. It seems that this person seems harmless to humans and animals, but However, in fact, he is an existence that other underground workers fear.
"That woman is very tough, she tried all means, but she refused to speak." Wang Tianxiang said calmly.
Wu Tian nodded slightly: "Then it's right to invite Liu Ye, and I will leave everything to you."
"Crack, take a 10-minute break, and come back with another one."
Zhou Xing put on his coat and leaned in front of the monitor and asked, "Old Gao, playing the sixth master is a bit unfamiliar, where did you find it? It's not easy."
Although it was just a face-to-face meeting, Zhou Xing still had a deep impression on this sixth master. How should I put it, he looked smiling, but somehow gave people a very uncomfortable feeling. This feeling is that of an actor. Accumulation, he can lead you into the character at that stop, which is very rare.
"Oh, you're talking about Wu Gang, an old actor. Although he's not very famous, he's a human artist, so his acting skills are nothing to say." Gao Qunshu said.
Well, as soon as I heard that Renyi came out, Zhou Xing understood. Needless to say, the brand of Renyi is too loud, but any actor who has been honed on the Renyi stage will come out to act in a TV series or something It's just like playing, the kind with full professional skills.
The filming in Jinmen was relatively smooth, the whole process only took one and a half months, of course, it was also related to the relatively small number of scenes in Jinmen in the whole drama.
In late March, some of the crew left behind to return to Jinmen Financial Street, and the rest all moved to Dalian. The role of Qiuzhuang was the climax and difficulty of the whole drama.
"Wuhu, the air by the sea is better."
Many antiques have been rented in Qiuzhuang, and the final display is in progress. In order to ensure the safety of these antiques, the crew has not settled in yet. Taking advantage of these few days, Zhou Xing, as the boss, brought a group of leading actors to start earning money around. Think of it as tourism.
Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing held hands with each other and stepped on the beach with bare feet. In the play, Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng are best friends. In order to cultivate a tacit understanding, Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing have been living in a suite with each other since Jinmen. familiar.
In fact, before this, the relationship between Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing was not that good. Although they were in the same company, female artists of similar age would always face competition. Sometimes the relationship is too good, but it is easy to turn against each other. When competing for resources, there is also room for everyone.
However, after getting along for this period of time, the relationship between Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing has improved by leaps and bounds, as if they were alone.
Backing the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, it is natural to eat seafood when you arrive in Dalian. In fact, Zhou Xing didn’t like seafood very much at first, but after arriving in Dalian, he gradually fell in love with it. The seafood here is not only fresh, but also cheap. Collected directly from fishing boats.
"Come on, let me offer you a toast. This is a good wine I won from director Er Dongsheng. I have kept it for several years and I am reluctant to drink it." As the boss, Zhou Xing naturally wanted to go up.
"That's right, you have to try it."
Everyone booed for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
People who are engaged in art are all temperamental people. When the atmosphere got up, they played a game of drumming and passing flowers. Gao Qunshu took the initiative to act as the drummer, knocking on the bowl with chopsticks.
"Oh, Su Youpeng, it's your turn."
Su Youpeng also drank a little too much, without any stage fright, cleared his throat, and made a long speech in a dramatic voice: "The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the side of the water."
During this period of time, Su Youpeng also worked hard for the role of Bai Xiaonian, and specially found a Peking Opera master to learn for several months, let alone, he really looks good.
The drumming and passing of flowers continued, and Zhou Xun was the next to suffer. She directly pulled Li Bingbing, and the two danced a pas de deux.
Another day, in the afternoon, Qiu Zhuang's set had been completed, and the crew began to move in officially. However, Gao Qunshu was not busy with filming, but waited until evening to start filming the scene where the five protagonists first arrived in Qiu Zhuang.
"The sound of the wind, act 23, scene 356, action." Following Gao Qunshu's order, all crew members began to enter a state of high-speed operation.
In the dark night, on a mountain path, a small car was slowly moving forward with two headlights. There were five people sitting inside the car.
Jin Shenghuo sits with Wu Zhiguo, and Gu Xiaomeng sits with Li Ningyu and Bai Xiaonian. In fact, this shot also tells the audience Bai Xiaonian's "special gender" from the side
What's interesting is that Gao Qunshu also let Gu Xiaomeng hold a flower in his hand. I don't know if it is to divide the picture, or there is some metaphor.
But the next moment, Gu Xiaomeng covered her mouth and stretched her head out of the window, vomiting, and when she returned to the carriage, the flowers in her hand were gone.
"Will this be too obvious?" Zhou Xing asked.
Gao Qunshu smiled wickedly: "Don't worry, I will cut out the scenes of Gu Xiaomeng coming back later."
Well, it turns out that directors play like this.
On the bridge to the Cliff Qiuzhuang, everyone looked around and found that the guards here were heavily guarded, and there was a murderous aura everywhere.
"What the hell is this place? It's a mess." Gu Xiaomeng complained.
"Qiu Shenghuai's other business, this place has been taken over by the Japanese, and it has been converted into a palace to entertain high-ranking military officers." Bai Xiaonian is like a treasure, and it actually shows his careful thinking. In fact, he also hopes to show himself in front of the opposite sex. This is the innate instinct of males, even if he is in that situation.
"It seems that tonight's meeting is no small matter." Jin Shenghuo said naively.
Bai Xiaonian glanced at the distance: "Maybe, someone's life will be killed."
"Why?" Jin Shenghuo was startled.
"Can't you see Director Wang from the Secret Service?" It was obvious that Bai Xiaonian looked down on Wang Tianxiang.
"Pharaoh?"
Wang Tianxiang smiled with deep meaning: "Hello everyone, please go back to your room to rest first, and see you in the meeting room in half an hour."
"What room are you going back to? Go back quickly after the meeting. You didn't bring anything with you." Gu Xiaomeng already felt that something was wrong. The reason why she resisted so much now was because she was trying to get rid of her suspicions, and secondly, it was also In line with Gu Xiaomeng's personality, after all, in the eyes of the enemy, Gu Xiaomeng is a young lady with a very tough backstage and a natural escape.
"Miss Gu, don't be impatient, go back to the room first." Wang Tianxiang smiled and looked at Gu Xiaomeng. After speaking, his whole face immediately jumped up.
This also implies Wang Tianxiang's love for Gu Xiaomeng. In fact, considering Wang Tianxiang's own personality, it is reasonable for him to like Gu Xiaomeng. Toad, but Gu Xiaomeng, who is young, beautiful, has a backstage, innocent and romantic by nature, is like a white swan.
How can a toad not want to eat swan meat?
"Go." Bai Xiaonian was the first to take the lead and walked in.
This also shows that Bai Xiaonian is confident, relying on his relationship with the commander, he can't look down on Director Wang at all. In his eyes, Director Wang is just a dog of the commander. He is confident that this dog dare not Bite him, for the rein of this dog is in the Commander's hand.
"Seat No. [-], here is a close-up of the two watches, then quickly turn your head and aim at the conference table, understand?" Gao Qunshu was dispatching on the spot.
Zhou Xing asked curiously: "Why do you want to show the camera like this?"
Gao Qunshu said with a smile: "Your boy has a lot of problems recently. Could it be that he is tired of being an actor and is going to grab our director's job?"
"Don't say it, it's really possible." Zhou Xing joked.
Gao Qunshu didn't joke anymore, and pointed to the two clocks on the wall: "The one on the right marks Tokyo, and the one on the left marks Jinling. If you look at the light on it, Jinling is bright, and Tokyo is dark. The puppet government is in the light, and Japan is in the dark, which is another reminder to the audience of the general environment at that time."
"After your actors are in place later, the camera flicks over. The five Gu Xiaomeng plus Wang Tianxiang, they are in the light, and the Wutian played by you is hidden in the dark, and the two echo each other. This is called the language of the camera."
Well, I learned that, in fact, many audiences think that directors are just sitting on the guide chair, shouting at others with a walkie-talkie, and scolding the actors for their poor performance. There are photographers for photography, and lights for lighting. There is an assistant director for group performances, it seems that the director is not that important.
Like, I can do it too?
However, in fact, as a qualified director, there are too many things that need to be mastered. Among other things, many non-professional directors may not be able to understand such a lens language for a lifetime.
"Guiguzi leaked the secret, and the white dove ticket will win." Jin Shenghuo picked up the false information and read it.
In fact, he was the first to pick up false information, because it was deliberately arranged according to the relationship between the characters, and Bai Xiaonian was the commander's favorite, so he didn't care about these things.
Wu Zhiguo is a military officer, so he can't understand it at all, while Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu have already handled information.
Although Jin Shenghuo was the director of the military aircraft, he was nepotistic. He was not focused on work at all, so he suddenly called him over, so he wanted to see what was going on.
