The main filming location of "The Camera Can't Stop" was chosen in a machine factory in Arakawa Ward that has been shut down for several months due to a broken capital chain, no money to buy raw materials, debts that cannot be paid back, and products that cannot be sold - now
There are many such situations, and it is basically difficult to save them. In fact, they are waiting for bankruptcy and liquidation. Iori Murakami invited someone to have a meal and borrowed it.
And Arakawa Ward is the administrative district with the least presence among the 23 wards of Tokyo. It is worse than Nerima Ward, which is "just a rural area growing radish". It has a large number of "isolated land islands", so as long as you don't plan to use a torch
If the factory is burned down, you can do whatever you want here and no one will care.
The process of making a movie is very similar to that of a TV series. Murakami Iori has established a working team with familiarity. However, she is low-key and cautious by nature and does not dare to be as confident as Chihara Rinto. To tell the truth, tell the story
All members of the team who have heavy family burdens have been invited to participate. This is just an independent film for practice. The production cost is super low and it cannot be released on a large scale. The revenue expectations are uncertain. Please be cautious when participating - she is promoting the filming of the film.
In order to subsidize this group of people, but the results are uncertain, we cannot promise that we will definitely subsidize it. We ask everyone to sign up voluntarily. There is no salary at the moment, but future profits will be shared.
Her behavior was understood by these people to mean that Chihara Rinto wanted to make independent films to improve his abilities and needed help. A large number of working team members missed Chihara Rinto's old friendship, and not only those with heavy family burdens agreed immediately.
, the rest of the people also took the initiative to sign up, and in a blink of an eye, a list of 230 people was compiled. In addition, there were more than 260 people who couldn't get away during the day, but expressed their willingness to use their free time to help for free. I hope that Chief Qianyuan will not dislike it.
Chihara Rinto has been winning people's hearts for a long time and has shown the greatest kindness to those who have supported him, and this long-term accumulation is vividly demonstrated at this moment.
After Iori Murakami sighed, he accepted all the nearly 500 people as ordered, regardless of whether they came to help for free, and included them in the crew list. He immediately created a small miracle in the history of independent films - a production team of 500 people.
, no independent film has ever had such luxury.
With so many people, as long as the budget is sufficient, let alone making an independent movie, it is not impossible to organize another offensive to win the season championship - that is, to make an independent movie. If Chihara Rinto announces the preparation of a new drama, watch
Looking at such a large crew, the four major players will most likely be trembling with fear and mobilize their manpower to prepare for defense.
And more people make things easier. Camping tents were quickly set up on the wasteland around the factory (if you don’t have money, you can’t even think about towing a trailer). Murakami Iori also formed a team of chefs to cook for everyone (there are too many people,
There was no room to fill it), and a large number of manpower began to repair the factory, arrange scenes, and make props.
Chihara Rinto also brought the creative team and "actors" to the crew and began to plan the shooting according to the actual situation and adjust the script at the same time.
The filming of "The Camera Can't Stop" was not very difficult. The main reason was that the first thirty-seven minutes of the shot was a bit troublesome, and it was shot in a matryoshka style. The camera layout alone had to be divided into four layers:
The cameras in the film and the drama have to shoot, and the cameras in the movie also have to shoot, and of course the formal filming team led by Chihara Rinto has to shoot. In addition, there is a small team that shoots the production process, so that the behind-the-scenes footage can be shown at the end of the movie.
It creates the effect of a play within a play within a play - a super matryoshka doll that makes you dizzy just looking at it.
After the field trip was over and the script was sorted out, Chihara Rinto turned the creative team into an actor team with a wave of his hand and began to review the lines and conduct on-site rehearsals.
…………
"Put down your arrogance as a famous director, now you are Higurashi Takayuki!" Rinto Chihara took the script and said to Yoshizaki Shingo seriously: "Yoshizaki-san, have a good feel for Higurashi Takayuki's mood. What kind of person do you think Higurashi Takayuki is?
?”
Shingo Yoshizaki felt very wronged. Although he felt a little aggrieved when he was appointed by Chihara Rinto as the leading actor in the movie after many auditions, he really didn't feel that he was arrogant. No matter how famous he was, he was still not as famous as Chihara Rinto, so he would not dare to do anything.
It's really uncomfortable to act like a big name in front of him - actors are not as easy to do as they imagined. Directing performances and playing roles in person are two different things. It's probably similar to the nature of a football coach playing a game in person.
But he didn't dare to talk back to Chihara Rinto. He really thought that he was just a young actor who had just debuted. He pondered for a while and said, "I'm just a mediocre director. He has no fame and no ability. He is looked down upon everywhere.
I even look down on myself. Do you think my tone just now was too strong? Do you want to interpret the character as weaker?"
Qianhara Rinto nodded: "That's right, but it can't just be weakness, I also need to be a little unwilling."
"Not willing?"
"Yes, on the surface, Higurashi is a mediocre director who is getting along. He has a weak personality and is easy to talk to. He doesn't dare to lose his temper even if he is repeatedly questioned by the actors. He will change his mind after a few words from the production assistant. Even the actors can agree to fake crying if they want. But
I also need some unwillingness in him, the unwillingness to make good works, the unwillingness to be worthy of the audience, and the unwillingness to succeed... You have to convey these to the audience through expression, posture and tone, but the performance is weak,
I can only say that it is quite satisfactory.”
Shingo Yoshizaki's expression was a bit awkward, and he was not a professional actor. This requirement was a bit high for a professional actor.
Chihara Rinto did not give up and continued to enlighten him, saying softly: "Yoshizaki-san is also a director. There have been periods of confusion and difficult times before, right? I think I have met countless frustrated directors, and now you are the incarnation of those directors.
——We want to shoot well, even if we encounter great difficulties, we still want to shoot well, even if the result is destined to be bad, we will still insist on finishing the shoot and try our best to still shoot well."
"This is a movie made for filmmakers. You have to pass on this emotion to them. This is an encouragement to them." Chihara Rinto patted Yoshizaki Shingo on the shoulder and said seriously: "Think about those people
, think about why Higurashi Takayuki insists on not giving up. I don’t want the audience to interpret his persistence as being under work pressure and just taking responsibility for his work. I hope that the protagonist always shows that underlying unwillingness, even if his dream is eliminated.
Reality has been destroyed and has bowed to reality, but as long as it is stimulated, it will still show itself again - only in this way can the reversal be made reasonable, and the film can be sublimated, so that the film has a core idea and is no longer just a creative movie.
Reversal movie.”
Shingo Yoshizaki nodded silently, feeling that what Chihara Rinto said made sense. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He recalled his past experiences and similar experiences he had seen and heard in his mind like a movie, and his nose couldn't help but start to feel sour.
He left Chihara Rinto to host a lunchtime drama, but unfortunately the results were not good. At that time, he felt extremely disappointed and deeply doubted his ability. But now this feeling came to his heart again, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.
, the extremely unwilling energy at that time became clear again.
He had been feeling it for a long time, and seemed to have grasped something. He really felt a bit like Higurashi Takayuki. Just when he wanted to raise his head to discuss it with Chihara Rinto again, he found that Chihara Rinto had already gone to see the props.
"This severed limb is okay. The headless corpse is too realistic and the blood is too similar. It needs to be changed. The corpse should be a little rougher and the blood stains should be lighter than cheap blood, like red ink.
That’s fine.”
The prop masters looked at each other in confusion. Murakami Iori had told him to just make do with the props. They thought Murakami Iori was saying kind words and was grateful for Chihara Rinto's past kindness, so they worked overtime even without pay and used 120% of their strength.
,result……
Isn't that a polite word? The executive really doesn't need such a good prop?
We are willing to help you with your independent film, no need to be polite to us!
No matter what they thought, Chihara Rinto emphasized: "I don't know how Miss Murakami gave you a meeting, but you just think of yourself as an amateur prop master. These props are mainly used in the first thirty-seven minutes.
We have to make a big bad movie in seven minutes, so it would be bad if the props are too professional."
The prop masters said they understood, just don't work hard! It's easy to say, now I work hard all day long in the TV station, but I didn't expect that I would have to work hard like this here.
They went back to work, and Chihara Rinto caught Iori Murakami, who was going to guest-star as the confused producer, and told her about the play. Shingo Yoshizaki reacted at this moment and rubbed his nose - Chihara directed the actor.
He is very capable, and his words have the power to confuse people's hearts. They can reach people's hearts and can actually arouse their thoughts.
How did he do this?
Is this the main difference in directorial abilities between you and him?
…………
No matter how confused Yoshizaki Shingo was, after two days of rehearsals, everything was ready. Chihara Rinto kept everything simple and started shooting directly with the order. The matryoshka doll shooting officially began.
Hitomi Konoe was wearing sportswear, covered in fake bloodstains, holding a sharp ax, facing the zombie version of Tomohisa Mita (who plays the male protagonist of the drama within the drama, Kazuaki Kamiya) who was slowly approaching, and said tremblingly: "Ken-chan,
Don’t… don’t…”
Tomohisa Mita was wearing zombie makeup, but it looked more like smoky makeup. Her green face was getting closer and closer, while Hitomi Konoe's expression became more and more frightened, and she stepped back in small steps. The expression on her big face was no longer within the scope of her acting skills.
More like Yan Yi, her body shook unnaturally and shouted: "Wake up, Jian-chan, wake up!"
Tears welled up in her eyes, and the features on her big face were distorted. Tomohisa Mita staggered, rolled his eyes and tilted his head to look at Hitomi Konoe. His expression was not particularly natural. He didn't look like a zombie, but rather like he had overdosed...
…
The filming scene was silent. The male protagonist Shingo Yoshizaki was filming with a portable camera. The fake crew's camera was also filming. The real crew surrounded the filming scene like an iron barrel, while Chihara Rinto was using the director's monitor to check the footage.
Regarding the content, it mainly depends on whether there are any distortions, such as whether the sound pickup device appears in multiple shots.
While he was watching intently, Miqianzi said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Master, I failed to guide Sister Atong well. She still can't control her expression after so many times! I'm really sorry, I..."
Even if you don't have any acting skills, you should be more natural. What the hell are you doing with mucus coming out of your nose? This acting is really terrible. She has become a beauty. The director should have killed her.
Chihara Rinto thought the effect was pretty good, at least the entertainment effect was perfect in this section. He waved his hand to signal Michiko not to blame herself, let alone disturb him, and continued to shoot this thirty-seven-minute, one-shot shot - this shot is
It can't be edited, it can only be shot in one take, but I didn't say it can only be taken in one shot. It's the seventh time now.
Four of them failed and two were successful. He planned to shoot a few more times and choose the one with the best effect, so he would continue shooting as long as he could continue. He would then compare it at night.
Of course, you still have to hurry up. After all, the sooner it is released, the sooner you get money!
