Chapter 115 The filming process (1) Tacit understanding
The initial scene begins with Link, played by Zhou Jielun, knocking on the door of the protagonist Tang Wei's room, played by Tang Ze, and ends with taking Tang Ze to college.
The lens should be as plain as possible and the process should be kept natural.
There is no need for Zhou Jielun to show any acting skills, just being a neighbor and friend is enough.
"Okay, no problem, pass!"
Switch to university scene.
Tang Ze and others are serious about filming at Beijing University, so the environment is not bad.
It’s just that it’s a holiday now, so there are fewer people.
"Wen Yishi, please zoom out further to capture the majesty of Beijing University."
"Guo Fan, let the lighting engineer fix the lighting, they didn't adjust it properly."
"Su Lun, stop walking around. You are my director's assistant, but the main thing is for you to learn. Think more about why the camera is shot the way it is."
"Understood!" Wen Yi said, Guo Fan followed the order.
"Yeah!" Su Lun nodded obediently.
Seeing Tang Ze sitting in front of the monitor on the field, commanding everyone with ease, Liu Yifei had already calmed down and didn't mind admiring.
Since she suppressed her feelings, she will no longer allow herself to have random thoughts.
And appreciation is a normal human emotion, so that’s okay, right?
Even though many times, she didn't dare to look too focused.
"Okay, let's move on to the next scene, all departments are ready!"
"The actors are in place!"
"The second scene, one shot, once!"
"Start!"
The camera pans directly to the mathematics professor Lan Bo, played by Zhang Hanyu.
He is writing on the blackboard the last formula of this math class.
In order to slightly satisfy the desire of some top students to complete the exercises, Tang Ze added a one-second close-up of the exercises on the blackboard.
If you see this scene, the ordinary audience will definitely be confused.
Top math students will be ecstatic and praise the rigor of "Good Will Hunting".
Of course, in fact, Tang Ze regarded this as a publicity point.
Mathematics problems that even top academics at Beijing University cannot solve must be a good gimmick.
After writing the formula, Zhang Hanyu left the students with a mathematical problem that no one could solve, but that could lead to success in one step, and he announced that get out of class was over.
Those who like to read online articles will probably be familiar with this foreshadowing.
The scene shifts to outside the classroom, where cleaner Tang Ze appears, looking thoughtfully at the math problems on the blackboard.
Here, Tangze added in advance a scene of students walking and talking.
The implication is that the monitor is broken, which provides the protagonist with an opportunity to covertly show off.
This creates a sense of expectation in the audience, expecting the protagonist to reveal his identity.
There is no explanation here in the movie "Previous Life", so Tang Ze thinks it is a BUG.
No one saw it, and the problem with the monitor was not pointed out, so the foreshadowing was very blunt.
Even in 1997, surveillance cameras were already common in the United States.
Another scene transition, Tang Ze and Zhou Jielun came to the noisy bar.
In the original version, in order to highlight the character of a construction site gangster, Zhou Jielun's first line was a bit harsh.
Tangze changed the entire plot to suit the Chinese soil.
Changed the sexual joke with the NPC female Jialian to focus on the NPC male.
"I didn't do anything to Jialian last night, so the NPC man still wants to fight me for Jialian. That's so stupid!"
"Ka!" Tangze shouted and stopped.
"Jie Lun, your performance before was very natural, but why do you feel like you are acting cool here?"
Tangze spread his hands and imitated: "That's so stupid! Please say this naturally and don't show that awesome expression."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't gotten over the habit of playing "Slam Dunk" before!" Zhou Jielun coughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Tang Ze nodded, understanding.
The movie "Slam Dunk" can be summed up in one sentence: Zhou Jielun's cool work has no acting skills at all.
"Also, your Mandarin accent is too strong, and you may need to dub it later. So you can speak softer, or even just lip-sync, so that you can use more attention to adjust your expressions."
"OK! Although I have also filmed, I am not as professional as you, so I will naturally listen to you."
Afterwards, under Tang Ze's careful teaching and Chen Gaohuan's kind guidance, Zhou Jielun finally passed this scene.
Two people who know how to act give guidance together, which also shows that Zhou Jielun's acting skills are indeed unsatisfactory.
As the filming continued, Tangze's mind was always on the math problem, and he soon left and went home to solve the problem.
And the next day, I wrote the answer on the blackboard.
Zhang Hanyu was surprised when he learned that the math problem had been solved. His inquiries to no avail showed his distress and eager doubts.
Zhang Hanyu has performed well so far, and the roles he has played in later generations are also very complex.
Although he looks like a soldier, he has also played civilian roles such as doctors and captains.
Later, because he continued to challenge various roles, he won the honor of a veteran actor.
However, he is a late bloomer. He played small roles for too long in his early years and has no judgment on the type of performance he is good at.
And he was obviously a professor for the first time, or a teacher for the first time.
It is difficult to show the eager expression that the teacher wants to know which student has done something extraordinary.
Tang Ze is famous for his attitude towards camera perfection. Even though Zhang Hanyu's acting skills have long been recognized by many people, he has failed many times.
Zhang Hanyu is very patient, and he is not dissatisfied because Tang Ze, a young man who is decades younger than him, is dictating things.
Just try again after you fail, that's how your acting skills come about.
After trying several times to no avail, he no longer persisted and asked Chen Kuan for advice on how to perform.
Chen Gehuan is worthy of being one of the top veterans, and he easily showed the expression that Tang Ze wanted.
Zhang Hanyu followed suit, and the expression turned out to be spot on.
But it's like Zhang Hanyu's face, showing other people's expressions, is always a bit disharmonious.
Tang Ze started over again. He wanted to be more like Zhang Hanyu himself and a character like Professor Lan Bo.
There are many expressions and even emotions like the following. This is just the first step.
Zhang Hanyu had no objection. He wanted to improve himself, so he put aside his stature and let other actors and creators work together to find a solution for him.
Unfortunately, none of the people present had ever been a teacher, so it was difficult for them to describe their mood. Several ideas came up, but to no avail.

At this time, Wen Yishi subconsciously said: "I think there are more than just teachers, right?"
After hearing this, Tang Ze and Liu Yifei both had a flash of inspiration.
Tangze thinks broadly and thinks quickly.
Liu Yifei thought of it, just like her teacher’s mother.
She and he said in unison: "Parents!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, each feeling a sense of satisfaction that they understood each other well.
Especially Liu Yifei, she feels as if she has put aside her emotional worries, and she seems to be closer to Tang Ze.
Tang Zedao: "Zhang Hanyu, you should have a daughter, right? You must always worry about her."
"Treat her as your student and imagine how she feels when she does something you feel proud of."
"Then think about it, what other amazing things does she do in normal times, but you didn't notice it?"
Zhang Hanyu's eyes were bright, Yi Yan was thinking about his daughter, and as expected, he showed that expression and mood easily.
He sighed with emotion: "They say that Director Tang, you know a lot about drama, but I just saw it today."
"Those who miss participating in your movie will definitely regret it for the rest of their lives."
Chen Guhuan also said: "Can Director Tang also show the expression just now easily?"
"I'm looking forward to playing with you, Director Tang."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "No! Half of this method was provided by Liu Yifei."
Zhang Hanyu said to Liu Yifei: "Thank you, Ms. Liu, for your help. There is a reason why you can stand out among actresses, and you can afford to be praised for your beauty and intelligence."
Liu Yifei waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm just lucky."
Even though she said this, she was really happy to be praised by senior actors.
What's even happier is that Tang Ze can take care of her.
