In "The Wind", most of the halls are group plays, and the main thing is everyone's grasp of lines and timing of actions. No one is new in this aspect, and the performance is relatively good.
Yu Shaoyu, the only one who is new to movies, also has several years of stage performance experience and his performance is not bad.
It's just that I occasionally bring in some habits from opera performances, and sometimes it's too exaggerated.
It took nearly half a month to complete the lobby scene, and then the crew moved to the corridor on the second floor.
This scene involves filming a scene where Zou Xun asks Xiao Bing to call home.
Zou Xun put on makeup and came out, wearing a quilt-colored suspender dress.
"All departments prepare!"
"Scene 28, one shot, one shot!"
"start!"
Zou Xun held a piece of paper in his hand, crossed his arms and crossed his steps, and walked out of the room with a smile.
"Click!"
Before he even took two steps, Tang An shouted stop.
"What I want is style, not romance. Pay attention to your expression!"
"start!"
Zou Xun walked up to Hou Ji, who was playing the role of guard, in a charming manner...
The extra actor Tang An looked familiar at first, and when he heard his voice, he knew he wasn't the actor who played Hou Ji in Sima Yi. What a coincidence.
Zou Xunjiao smiled and said, "Brother, it's so hard!"
"Alone?"
"Well...haven't everyone gone downstairs to provide support?" Hou Ji pointed to the stairs behind him with his right hand.
"Support? It's just like the real thing!"
"I want to make a phone call, just say a few words!" Zou Xun said with a pout.
"This can't be done!" Hou Ji spoke with a standard Ludong accent.
Zou Xun leaned forward and said, "Just call home. Two or three sentences at most. How about you sit next to me and listen?"
Hou Ji quickly leaned back, leaned against the guardrail, and said hastily, "Didn't I tell you? If it doesn't work, it won't work."
"Forget it, I won't embarrass you anymore, why don't you help me fight home, and I'll order something!"
Zou Xun folded the paper and put it into his front pocket, patted his face and said, "Please!"
"Ouch!" Hou Ji raised his hands and didn't know where to put them.
Just as Zou Xun turned around, someone called her downstairs.
"Okay, pass!"
...
After the scene in the corridor on the second floor ends, the scenes in each room begin.
The rooms on the second floor were all set up in another studio, including the basement where executions and human traffickers were held.
The shooting sequence is divided according to the sequence of scenes, plot direction and characters.
Focus on the scene, and then follow the direction of the plot as much as possible, and then focus on the roles of each actor on this basis.
In a slightly smaller living room, Wang Zhiwen interrogated everyone one by one who was the old ghost.
Let’s start with Ying Da. While the crew was preparing, Tang An gave him a talk about the play.
"Teacher Yingda, Jin Shenghuo is a timid, cautious and cowardly person on the surface, but behind the scenes he is very sophisticated, has a profound way of doing things, and is smooth in dealing with things."
"So Teacher Yingda, you sounded strong at first, not wanting to be a spy and showing your innocence. Then you mentioned your identity and deliberately said that you, the military aircraft director, are a piece of shit!"
"Later on, I belittled myself for getting this position through nepotism. I casually pointed out that your family and the commander's wife are sisters in order to show my support and prevent them from going too far."
Yingda did not look down on Tang An because he was young, and showed an open-minded attitude.
"Don't worry, director, I understand everything. There will be absolutely no problem!"
After getting ready, the shooting begins.
Yingda is also an experienced actor, and he can play many types of roles well with his face. This smooth and sophisticated character is almost his true self, so there is no problem.
Next came Yu Shaoyu, and Tang An talked to him for more than ten minutes.
"All departments prepare!"
"Scene 27, two shots, once!"
"start!"
Yu Shaoyu was sitting on the sofa, leaning slightly towards Wang Zhiwen.
"It couldn't be more obvious. If you attack Jin Shenghuo, you will definitely find out something fishy!"
Tang An looked at the monitor screen and nodded, then gestured to Photographer No. 2, and Camera No. 2 immediately took a close-up of his face.
"Click!"
A close-up scene appeared on the monitor. Tang An frowned and picked up the loudspeaker to shout stop.
"Yu Shaoyu, have you forgotten what I just told you? After saying that line, there was a trace of resentment in his eyes, but in order to prevent others from noticing, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes for a second!"
"I'm sorry, director, I forgot just now!" Yu Shaoyu said quickly and apologized to Wang Zhiwen opposite him, "I'm sorry, Teacher Wang!"
"Adjust it and continue!"
...
"Why do you say that!"
"He has a nephew who joined the Communist Army at the age of 15. I heard he became chief of staff in Yan'an!"
"Click!"
Tang An stopped again.
"Open your eyes wider to see your emotions. You were originally Jin Shenghuo's person. He gave it to the commander in order to please him. You have always resented him in your heart!"
"Also, the tone of the following sentence changes. Staff... has grown. There is an obvious pause in the middle, emphasizing that Jin Shenghuo's nephew is in a high position in Yan'an!"
Originally, this drama telling was the responsibility of the assistant director and executive director, especially the supporting actors.
However, the supporting roles in this movie are all outstanding, and Tang An still narrates the scenes himself.
The shooting continued, and after NGing three more times in the same place, Tang An did not shout "Ka" midway for the sixth time.
However, Yu Shaoyu was interrupted several times by Tang An, and he suddenly forgot his words.
"I'm sorry, director, I'm sorry!"
It was his first time starring in a movie, and it was such an important supporting role. Yu Shaoyu was a little nervous, and he was afraid that he would screw it up.
If Tang An is made unhappy and lets out word that this actor is not good, then it will be difficult for him to find a good role.
Tang An waved his hand, "It's okay, just read the lines again, don't worry!"
He was quite satisfied with Yu Shaoyu. The charming look in his gestures and brows made him look like a rabbit.
...
"Click!"
"Am I joking? This sentence needs to be more intense and emphasized, and the speed should be faster!"
...
"Click!"
...
"Okay, pass!"
14 times, the most since filming started, and the only one with more than 10 NGs!
Tang An took a sip of water and smiled at Yu Shaoyu, "This is a new record for the number of NGs for our crew. Who was there before?"
Zhou Xun, who had already changed his clothes, happened to come over and immediately replied, "It's Xiao Ming!"
"Oh...yes, Xiao Ming, you have to treat others to dinner later!"
"No problem, I'll treat everyone to a barbecue tonight. We'll cook it ourselves, and I'll ask someone to cook it!" Wang Xiaoming said quite generously.
Finally, I found someone on the crew who was better than me. What kind of person is Wang Xiaoming?
It seems a bit wrong to use it here, but that’s pretty much what it means anyway.
"That's okay. It's rare for Xiao Ming to be so generous. Last time he ate several bags of potato chips and it made him feel bad!" Tang An laughed at everyone.
"After shooting the scene of Zou Xun, everyone has finished work early. There is no need to prepare lunch boxes tonight. The whole crew will have a barbecue!"
Tang An called life producer Xu Tao over.
"Old Xu, now you take people to purchase materials, get more meat, and see if you can get some racks and divide them into groups. Then everyone will get their own food and do it yourself!"
That night, I said hello to the film and television base and had a barbecue on the open space of a nearby palace.
There are more than 10 barbecue grills and more than 200 people. It is quite lively on a cold day.
Tang Ancheng participated, washing and cutting vegetables by himself, so that it was fun.
"Come on, come on, don't be too busy eating now, I'd like to toast you all, and I'll have to trouble you all for a few more months!"
Tang An said as he raised his glass of orange juice and drank it all in one gulp!
Everyone quickly stopped, swallowed the meat in their mouths, and raised their cups.
We have to film a movie tomorrow, so drinking is out of the question.
"By the way, Lao Xu, have those security guards eaten?"
Halfway through eating, Tang An remembered that there were more than 20 security guards in the two studios!
"Director Tang, I have prepared their lunch boxes, and the team from the dormitory have also sent them over!"
More than 40 security guards, working in two shifts, guard the studio worth more than 7 million yuan.
"Then let's go over and give them something. There's enough to eat!"
"Okay, Director Tang!" Xu Tao immediately wiped his mouth, went to another group to greet a few field staff, and put something on each shelf.
Say fuck, fuck, fuck, a young man in uniform hurried over at the door.
"Director Tang, we caught two thieves in the studio, come and take a look!"
