Chapter C Chen Ruoxi
"Ahem, kids, I am your Grandpa Han..."
Han Lan has already changed into shabby clothes full of patches. She also wears a white wig on her head, a white beard on her chin, and wrinkles on her face. Even her hands are not ignored. She really looks like a
Handsome old man.
And under his personal teaching, the seven girls Xuanji neatly arranged the lotus formation of seven gourd dolls, and shouted "Grandpa, Grandpa~" in neat movements.
Fang Qiaorui was holding his cell phone nearby to record the video and couldn't help laughing.
This is a girl group!
The style of painting took him astray.
"Han Shuai, we are ready to start filming." Wang Shenzhi also had nothing to do with them. Why is he so playful?
When no one was paying attention, he started playing tricks next to him.
"Here we come." Han Lan stopped fussing, responded and asked Fang Qiaorui to help cut the video and put it on his hands, and then took Chen Ruoxi, the C-position member of Xuanji Girl Group, to find director Wang Shenzhi.
This part was shot of "I" in the MV meeting an old man who performs puppet shows for a living and his puppets who were hiding from the wind and snow in the temple on a snowy night. The old man was in rags and was half a body old.
When he was buried, he had nothing of value with him, except for the puppet - the puppet looked like a delicate girl, with excellent workmanship, as delicate and bright as if it had just been drawn, with lifelike expressions, and a drop of tear hanging from the corner of its eye, which made "I" distracted.
.
Then, I heard the old man talking about his old past. That is, the scene that was filmed on the stage in the morning, telling how the old man got into the puppet show industry.
The old man in this scene is naturally Han Lan, and the protagonist "I" is Chen Ruoxi, the C position of Hyun Ji Girls. She was chosen to star in this scene not because she is the C position of the team, but because she is the C position of the group.
A, it just seems more appropriate to dress up like a boy.
Following the order from director Wang Shenzhi, the camera began filming and the fan began to blow on Chen Ruoxi, creating a blizzard atmosphere.
Of course, there is no snowstorm in the studio, so special effects can only be added in post-production.
Chen Ruoxi is also a little drama queen. She walked forward against the wind and struggled, but her acting was really like that, and her expressions were on point.
This group of shots was easily passed, and then we started shooting the shots in the ruined temple.
Han Lan was sitting cross-legged in the corner holding an exquisite string puppet, with a fire rising in front of her. Of course, it was impossible to use an open flame in the studio. It was just a piece of green cloth, which was added with special effects later.
Chen Ruoxi broke in from outside the temple door, patted the snow on her body in embarrassment, and then noticed the old man sitting in the corner.
Han Lan raised his head, glanced at her, and nodded slightly.
The two briefly exchanged greetings, and Chen Ruoxi sat down next to the "fire", but her eyes were drawn away by the puppet in Han Lan's arms.
The camera nearby came up to take a close-up of her face. Her performance really surprised the director Wang Shenzhi.
It's rare to see female group members with such acting skills.
Although the expression is not as good as that of a professional actor, it is much better than that of an ordinary person, and it looks somewhat expressive.
In fact, many traditional operas have special training for the eyes of actors, especially for female actors, whose every frown and smile can captivate the soul after being mastered.
"Cough cough cough..."
On the monitor, the old man coughed twice. Seeing that the young man seemed to be very interested in his puppet, he told the past about himself and the puppet. The more he talked about it, the sadder he became, and he started to cry as he talked.
The tears are real tears, Han Lan is really showing off her acting skills.
Chen Ruoxi, who was acting opposite him, was also stunned for a moment. Apparently she didn't expect Han Lan to cry right away, and she was a little helpless for a while. Although she was panicked, the effect of the filming was more realistic.
…
"Okay, this one passed!"
Wang Shenzhi clapped his hands, looking very satisfied.
He was originally reluctant to accept the MV because the acting skills of many singers, especially the young ones, were really worrying.
Powerful singers know that their acting skills are not good, so they often do not appear in the plot themselves. Instead, they only record scenes of them singing and then insert them into the MV later. And because the young talents need to please their fans, they must star in the MV themselves. Fans
People watch the MV just to see their stunning looks, so every time the director shoots it, it's very painful.
The acting is too stiff!
If the director only takes money and doesn't care about anything else, then that's fine. But Wang Shenzhi obviously can't stand this, and he still values his work very much.
However, this time he came to shoot the MV for "Silk String Opera", which changed his impression of Xiaoxianrou a bit. It seems that not all Xiaoxianrou's acting skills are bad.
"Master, it's your turn." Wang Shenzhi greeted the old master waiting next to him.
The master nodded and went up to replace Han Lan.
The next set of shots showed "I" begging the old man to show off his skills, and the old man really showed him his skills.
This part requires a puppet performance, and Han Lan is definitely not good at this skill, so she can only hire a master from the puppet troupe to act as a stand-in.
In fact, Han Lan's original idea was to let the master play the role directly, but the master couldn't act himself, so he had to do it himself in the future.
After finishing filming the scene of the puppets dancing, Han Lan went back to replace the old master and continued filming.
In the monitor, the young man played by Chen Ruoxi watched the puppet performance just now and sincerely praised: "Old man, you are really worthy of playing for a lifetime!"
After hearing this, the old man hugged the puppet and smiled, but his face changed as he smiled.
"My whole life, I have done this kind of thing my whole life, lived like this, and ruined my whole life. Who is to blame? It's not this thing..."
Han Lan's voice was choked with sobs and her eyes were in a trance. She didn't know whether she was talking to Chen Ruoxi or the puppet in her arms.
The camera nearby received the director's instructions and hurriedly came closer to take a close-up of Han Lan's face.
So expressive!
He looked like an old man who had been mentally shocked and seemed to be in a daze.
Wang Shenzhi has never filmed such a MV, with movie-level acting skills!
No! Actors in many movies nowadays cannot perform this kind of lifelike effect!
Looking at it makes people scared and distressed!
In the camera, Han Lan looked at the puppet in his arms in a daze, with some complexity in his eyes.
The camera slowly pulled back, capturing both his whole body and the puppet.
The contrast in this picture is very strong. On a cold night with wind and snow, the old man's clothes are ragged, but the puppet in his arms is bright and beautiful.
After a lifetime of acting in puppet shows, and in the end you can't even afford warm clothes, and the clothes you wear are not as good as those of the puppets, no one can bear it, right?
"It's snowing heavily, and I can't even buy cotton-padded clothes. It's almost impossible to get through this winter. What else do you do? It's better to burn it - it can still warm you..."
Han Lan muttered, and his actions seemed intentional or unintentional, so he raised the puppet in his hand and threw it into the fire.
"Old man!" Chen Ruoxi exclaimed, but it was too late. She saw the puppet falling into the "fire", her eyes full of pity.
Chapter completed!
