"What did you say?" Zhang Youbin asked in shock: "Did you tell her?"
"Yeah." Director Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "I mentioned it to her privately this afternoon. Although she was very embarrassed, she agreed."
"No..." Zhang Youbin looked depressed as he kissed the beautiful woman. This should have been a very beautiful thing. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Youbin would naturally accept it happily, but this time it was different. He always felt at peace.
He treated himself this way because he had inadvertently saved her life, and he was so kind to him because of his kindness. Therefore, An Ning had always made Zhang Youbin feel very embarrassed.
"You don't want to refuse, do you?" Director Zhang asked, looking at Zhang Youbin.
"Uh..." Zhang Youbin thought of those things again. He nodded and said, "I want to refuse."
Then, Zhang Youbin sat up straight and said to Director Zhang very seriously: "Director Zhang, you don't understand what happened between me and An Ning. The reason why she behaves so well to me is to put it bluntly, she is repaying herself.
She thinks she owes me a favor. This is no longer the age of commitment. I just want the relationship between me and her to be relaxed and not have so much pressure on it. Do you understand?"
Director Zhang nodded kindly, but said: "I don't understand..."
"I'm dizzy!" Zhang Youbin said helplessly: "You have to know that doing this is definitely not An Ning's own idea. She was just blinded by repayment for a moment. When she understands it, she will definitely regret it."
Director Zhang said indifferently: "I don't know if she will regret it in the future. I only know about this kissing scene. An Ning has already agreed. You have to know how important this kiss is to An Ning's future.
Movie fans across the country are waiting for this kiss. Now An Ning is ready to give it to you. If you refuse, what a big blow it will be to her? Just imagine, a woman is ready to give it to you.
The first kiss was dedicated to a man, but the man refused at the critical moment... Oh my god, I think this is definitely one of the biggest ways to hurt a woman's self-esteem."
"Fuck!" Zhang Youbin said anxiously: "You can tell her that it's you who don't want to take this scene, not me who refused your request. Isn't that okay?"
"No, no, no." Director Zhang explained: "When I was discussing with An Ning, I told her that this scene is one that I really want to shoot. Maybe you won't feel that the two of you are playing the role during the filming.
This story is so romantic and touching, but after post-production and the right background music, I believe it will touch many people. When a couple meets again after being baptized by the flames of war, is it even possible to kiss?
If not, will it end hastily?"
Zhang Youbin said honestly: "I have never felt anything touching. On the contrary, whenever I say those lines, I get goosebumps and feel sick..."
"Yes, that's right." Director Zhang nodded and said, "This is because you are in this play, and you watched it come into being from scratch, so you understand that everything about it is fake, so you are
Witnessing the environment of the film crew and director, when you say those lines or do certain actions in front of the camera, you will feel very against your will. But the audience is different. They have not experienced the filming scene in person. They are in front of the TV.
You can ignore everything you experience, they will only concentrate on watching the story in the camera lens." Then, Director Zhang paused and asked: "Tell me which movie you admire the most?"
Zhang Youbin frowned, and then said: "Many, "Braveheart", "The Last Samurai", etc., several."
Director Zhang nodded, crossed his legs and said, "Okay, let's talk about "Brave Heart"
Gibson plays William Wallace, right?”
Zhang Youbin nodded and said: "Yes, that's right."
"Hmm." Director Zhang said, "They also have a few battle scenes, but when you were watching it before, did you ever think that the extras would fall down while running and break the buttons on their pants?"
Zhang Youbin thought for a while, curled his lips and said, "No..."
"Isn't that the end?" Director Zhang asked back: "Don't you think such funny things happened when they were filming? Do you think Mel Gibson said that impassioned paragraph while riding a horse in front of so many people?
Didn’t you fall off the horse when you were delivering the inspiring lines because you weren’t good at riding?”
"Take another example of a horror movie. What the audience saw was a horrifying scene, but what about the actors? When they crawled out of the TV-like props under the attention of the staff, don't you think that scene would be terrible?
Ridiculous? I can tell you this, the scarier the visual effects of a horror movie, the more fun it will be on the shooting set. If they all feel like you now, then they must all feel that this movie will be very interesting when it is put on the screen.
It's ridiculous and not scary at all.
Zhang Youbin was helpless. What Director Zhang said did make sense.
"But what does this have to do with what we were talking about?" Zhang Youbin asked in surprise after a moment.
"Of course it does matter!" Director Zhang said with a smile: "You have to know that what we are filming is a love story, the love story of you and An Ning in the play. So, think about it, we worked so hard to use such a big place to film
What is the purpose of the scene? It is not to highlight how much of a man you are in the play and how much you look like William Wallace. Our purpose is just to highlight the love between the two of you. If you go to such great lengths, you
The two of you didn't even show a kiss to the audience. Don't you think that if I try my best to emphasize that the love between you two in the play seems pale?"
"Really?" Zhang Youbin was fooled by Director Zhang's extremely serious expression and was a little confused.
"Of course it's true!" Director Zhang said with a serious face: "This kiss is to raise the level of love between the two of you, and it's just a kiss. Do you understand?"
"Okay." Zhang Youbin admitted that he couldn't compete with Director Zhang. He was indeed a big liar, and he was speechless.
The sky was completely dark. The crew's photography lights illuminated the entire square as if it were daytime. The staff, casting long shadows, were piling up the wood that they got from nowhere. Zhang Youbin and An Ning were sitting next to the set.
Both of them were a little embarrassed and didn't speak to each other.
Tian Tian looked at Zhang Youbin with a very strange look, and even An Ning in front of her was not used to that look. The extras were sitting on the ground around them chatting. Chen Daoming and Zhang Yang were both in front of Zhang Youbin at the moment. Did they get along with each other?
They chatted about some insignificant topics together.
A staff member sprinkled oil on the stacked wood and lit the wood on fire. When the wood burned and could emit flames soaring into the sky on its own, the final scene of the victory celebration was about to begin.
Not long after, Zhang Youbin could clearly hear the crackling sound of burning wood next to the set. The director clapped his hands and shouted through the loudspeaker: "Everyone, get ready, we will start shooting right away."
The actors were coaxed to stand up and gathered next to the fire. On the other side, the actors invited from the dance academy also lined up under the leadership of the teacher and listened to the teacher's instructions. These people were specially filming some people.
A scene of dancing for victory.
The wooden barrels were unloaded from the truck by the staff and stacked neatly together. They were full of beer and even some prepared pipes. The staff walked around among the crowd holding a large pile of pipes.
He kept asking: "Who knows how to smoke?" If someone raised his hand, one would be handed to him.
There are also several more important supporting roles in this scene. For example, the character played by Zhang Yang will fall in love with a beautiful woman at the bonfire party. He will also meet a soldier from his hometown, and someone who has a crush on Chen Daoming.
Female officer...
All the more important actors gathered in front of the director and followed his arrangements. The scene that Director Zhang paid most attention to tonight was the kiss scene between Zhang Youbin and An Ning. After he gave instructions to the others, he
Zhang Youbin and An Ning said: "Zhang Youbin and An Ning, the kissing scene between you two is very important. The main thing is Zhang Youbin. It must be full of affection and you must gently hold up An Ning's chin, because before this, you two
Both people have close-ups of their eyes, so you must pay attention to their emotions."
"Oh..." Zhang Youbin and An Ning just nodded. Zhang Youbin was okay, but An Ning felt very embarrassed and shy.
"The kissing time is about 5 minutes. The camera should circle around you in a circle of about 300 degrees. It can't be too fast or too long. The shot of the two of you looking at each other and smiling is also very important. It's still those two people.
This word must have emotion."
Director Zhang explained a lot more, and then asked: "Do you remember it?"
"Remember."
Director Zhang nodded, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, get ready to start shooting!"
I don't know where a Western-style orchestra was invited from. No matter what, using them is much better than using a folk music class composed of suona and erhu.
Everyone was in their places. Almost everyone had a wooden cup in their hand, which was filled with foaming beer. More than half of the men had a pipe in their mouths, even Chen Daoming was no exception. Originally, Zhang Youbin
He also smoked, but because he had to film a kissing scene, the crew didn't take him into consideration when handing out pipes.
"start!"
The director yelled, and the scene immediately changed from calm to lively. The band started playing music, the actors from the dance academy began to dance happily, and the extras chatted in twos and threes, drinking and smoking, and there was a scene everywhere.
Laughter.
A camera more than ten meters high above began to take pictures of the entire square from a high place. Then it quickly passed over the head, locking Zhang Youbin and others in the picture. It reached above the heads of several people, and An Ning nestled in Zhang Youbin's arm.
In the middle of the bend, Chen Daoming held a hand-rolled tobacco in his mouth and laughed: "I didn't expect that I could survive. This feels so good!"
