Once the actor who played Ding Li was found, the crew of "Shanghai Beach" was ready.
In terms of exterior scenes, Shanghai TV Station followed Xiao Qian's advice and built a Republic of China-style studio in Chedun. In the future, this place will be expanded into Chedun Film and Television Base.
In fact, when Xiao Qian told Ma Yujiao about the concept of a film and television base, the old man was immediately interested.
When the studio was being built, plans for a film and television base were already in the works. It is said that by October, the construction of the real film and television base will begin.
In other words, the crew only had more than two months left for filming.
However, Xiao Qian and Chen Weizhou were not in a hurry.
"Shanghai Beach" is not "A Dream of Red Mansions" or "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It does not require large-scale actor training, nor does it require too much learning of historical and cultural knowledge.
Just let the actors know some of the customs of Shanghai during the Republic of China.
The first thing the crew does is to set the makeup and take promotional photos.
"All departments pay attention, check equipment, and report the situation."
Chen Weizhou held up his trumpet and began to coordinate and direct.
Xiao Qian clasped her little hands behind her back and watched curiously.
This is his first time to watch the filming of a film and television drama in person, which is very novel. It is also an opportunity to learn. If he builds his own crew in the future, he will not understand everything.
The feedback from various departments was very quick, and basically there were no problems, so the first promotional photos of the final makeup were taken.
The first promotional photo naturally stars the male and female characters Shen Jue and Wen Yi.
Shen Jue had already changed his clothes.
Wearing a slim-fitting black windbreaker and a slightly tilted black top hat, he held an umbrella in his hand. When he looked up, his handsome and handsome face actually made many female staff members blush with embarrassment.
This guy was so handsome that Xiao Qian almost regretted giving him such a fashionable look.
After a while, Wen Yi also came out.
She was wearing a bright red splendid one-piece dress, with mink fur around her neck, her hair styled into two braids, and pearl pendants hung on her exposed ears. When she shook her head slightly, she shone with an eye-catching brilliance.
.
Such a pair of men and women standing together, even if they are not doing anything, is enough to please the eyes.
If you don't take into account what they say...
"Director, please hurry up, I can't stand it anymore."
"Director, let's start shooting now. If we wait any longer, people will faint."
Don't you feel dizzy? In Shanghai in August, the temperature was 37 to 8 degrees Celsius, but the two of them were still wearing winter clothes, just in case of heat stroke.
Chen Weizhou is not a difficult person to talk to and is very considerate of actors. After feedback from various departments, he ordered the filming to start.
The content of the promotional photo shows Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng walking side by side by the Suzhou River in a snowy weather.
When the filming started, snow blowers dropped artificial snowflakes from the sky, and Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng walked from far to near.
The two of them were not walking in silence, but they were also talking about their lines.
Although this time it was a promotional photo shoot with final makeup, this part was also a scene in the movie. It was shot in one go, so there was no need to do it again.
The filming went smoothly. Shen Jue and Wen Yi walked side by side according to the rehearsed steps. The two people who appeared on the monitor screen were perfectly matched in height and body shape, and seemed to be perfect without any flaws.
Anyway, Chen Weizhou was extremely satisfied and even kept nodding his head. For those who didn’t know, I thought he was drinking and listening to music.
But he was satisfied, but Xiao Qian was not.
"cut!"
Because Xiao Qian is the producer, his words are also effective. Everyone couldn't help but stop and didn't understand what happened.
The most nervous ones were Shen Jue and Wen Yi, who just thought there was something wrong with them.
In fact, it was them who had the problem.
Xiao Qian walked up to them and immediately became angry.
"Shen Jue, are you a piece of wood? Why do you keep walking forward? You won't turn around?"
Shen never understands.
"Isn't this scene just about moving forward? Why do we have to turn around?"
Xiao Qianjue was stunned, pointed at Wen Yi and asked: "What is the relationship between Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng?"
This Shen Jue answered very quickly.
"They're a couple."
Xiao Qian said angrily: "You also know that the two of them are lovers, not enemies. When you walk with the girl you like, do you turn around to see her from time to time?"
Shen Jue scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Do you need to see it?"
Xiao Qian asked, "Isn't that what you did?"
Shen Jue said innocently: "When I was in love before, girls basically looked at me. Although I don't know why, it's just like that."
Xiao Qian vomited blood and almost died on the spot.
Your family background is extraordinary, you are handsome, are you amazing?
Fortunately, Chen Weizhou intervened and also taught Shen Jue.
"Xiao Qian, I haven't discovered this problem yet. The state between you two is really wrong. It's cold and cold, as if there is a wall. It doesn't look like lovers who are in love at all. There needs to be more interaction, eyes, smiles, etc. There needs to be more."
When Xiao Qian said this, Shen Jue and Wen Yi still didn't believe it.
After all, given Xiao Qian's age, even if his performance is already amazing, it would be incredible for a child to actually understand the feelings of adults.
With Chen Weizhou on his side, Xiao Qian finally felt confident.
He pointed to Shen Jue's hand holding the umbrella again.
"And this, how can you hold an umbrella like you? You are a man, and the person next to you is your favorite person. When it is snowing like this, you should take more care of her. So your umbrella should be changed to another hand Take it and tilt it toward her a little more, do you understand?"
What Xiao Qian mentioned is also the most criticized scene in Huang Jiaozhu's version of "Shanghai Beach".
In the camera, Xu Wenqiang is walking on the right side of Feng Chengcheng. However, Master Huang is holding an umbrella with his right hand and looking straight ahead as he walks, as if Feng Chengcheng walking next to him does not exist.
This may be the actor's personal hand habit, but it suffices to show that there is a huge difference in skill and intention in figuring out the characters and scenes.
Now that Xiao Qian has come to create "Shanghai Bund", he naturally does not allow such scenes to appear.
Maybe this scene just flashed by in the play, and the audience might not notice anything. But he knew that it would be of great benefit to strive for excellence from the beginning.
Shen Jue blushed at what he said and lowered his head, too embarrassed to look at Wen Yi.
It seemed that he also understood that his behavior just now was not gentlemanly enough.
But in fact, Xiao Qian just pointed out his omission and did not mean to blame him.
After all, his background determines that he has been surrounded by others since he was a child, and he is the center of attention. Even with that kind of growing environment, he did not become arrogant and naughty, which is already very rare.
Not only Shen Jue and Wen Yi, but also Chen Weizhou and others did not understand the difference between this point pointed out by Xiao Qian.
But when the filming restarted, Shen Jue changed his hand to hold the umbrella, and Wen Yi interacted with her again. The scene that appeared on the monitor made Chen Weizhou and others gasp in admiration.
"Isn't this picture too beautiful?"
"Director Chen, I think this scene can be used as a poster for our drama, perfect!"
"As expected of a producer, at your level you can even teach drama."
Several assistant directors and field managers praised Xiao Qian and also complimented Xiao Qian endlessly.
Chen Weizhou also looked at Xiao Qian as if he were an alien.
"Xiao Qian, are you interested in being a director or acting? If so, Uncle Chen can recommend you to go to theater to further your studies."
Xiao Qian was a little excited to hear that he could receive a systematic education in film and television production, but he couldn't believe it.
"That can't be true. I'm so young, why should I be allowed to go to the theater?"
The more Chen Weizhou thought about it, the more reliable he became, and he hurriedly said: "What's wrong with this? You don't know, since the last time we met, Dean Duan Qihu has been obsessed with you, saying that you are a genius in film and television production. Besides, you You can all go to Shangyin to take classes, why can’t you go to theater?”
Xiao Qian was completely moved.
"Is it really possible?"
Chen Weizhou patted his chest and gave assurance.
"Keep it with me and wait for my news."
Xiao Qian didn't know that her desire to go to the theater for him had reached an urgent level.
Although as a national-level educational institution, theater has produced numerous celebrities, but the desire for talents will not diminish.
Besides, since Xiao Qian is so young, even if he were to step in to study, no one would say anything, let alone make any principled mistakes.
But when Xiao Qian grows up in the future, it will be a living advertisement for the school when he says that he once studied theater in Shanghai.
Duan Qihu personally called Xu Mingxia's home and told Xiao Qian that if he wanted to come to theater and study, he could come at any time and take whatever classes he wanted.
This is very exciting for Xiao Qian.
It happened that Shangyin was busy doing academic research, and Xia Weizhang, Gu Yun and others really didn't have time to teach him, so he wandered off to the theater when he wasn't in school.
