North Fourth Ring Road, North Gate of National Olympic Sports Center.
At this moment, the Bird's Nest, Water Cube, etc. are not there yet, and it looks very empty when you look at it. However, with the successful bid for the Olympics, it is said that construction will be started before the end of the year.
A group of people gathered under the pedestrian bridge next to the north gate of the Olympic Sports Center. The crew of "I'm Not a Hero" officially started shooting here today.
TV dramas are not as complicated as movies. The weather is nice today, so there is no need to set up lights or set up any scenes. It can be shot live.
"Prepare!"
"start!"
In the camera lens, He Xin is walking quickly on the pedestrian bridge.
In fact, several sets of scenes of He Xin walking have been shot before. Since it was the first day of filming, director Guo Jingyu chose a few simple scenes.
This scene is about Chen Fei, played by He Xin, who went on a date with his girlfriend. He had already arrived at the place and saw his girlfriend waiting there. However, he received an unexpected call from the bureau and had to rush back for a meeting.
This is in line with the life of a police officer in reality. The police's time is often very uncertain, and the case is the order.
The biggest difference between professional actors and ordinary people is that ordinary people will always be nervous when they stand in front of the camera, even if they are playing themselves, and then there will be traces of performance subconsciously, so the person they act is no longer their ordinary self.
Professional actors don't have this problem. They are used to standing in front of the camera and think more about how to play the role well.
Why did He Xin stand out in the first place? His biggest advantage is that he is not nervous in front of the camera and has a subconscious desire to perform. But now, after so many dramas and systematic study of acting, he is now even more confident in front of the camera.
freely.
The previous sets of walking shots were all very natural, and they all went through in one go.
Because he was going on a date with his girlfriend, his steps were light, agile, and full of excitement.
At this moment, his footsteps were like his fingers playing a cheerful piano piece, as he came down the overpass stairs quickly.
"Card!"
Guo Jingyu shouted, stood up and made a gesture to He Xin, indicating that he would bring another one. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Xiao He, when you come down, your steps should be more cheerful."
"I understand, director."
He Xin nodded and returned the same way. When he stood at the footbridge stairs again and made an OK gesture downwards, he had already thought about how to show his steps.
"start!"
At this moment, he could be seen silently humming a cheerful tune in his heart, and his steps were like a tap dance, sometimes sliding sideways, sometimes like dense drum beats, quickly coming down the stairs.
After all, he has received strict physical training in the Chinese Opera in recent years, and he is in very good condition. He is tall and well-proportioned. The key is his two long legs, and his tap dancing steps look particularly graceful.
He came down the stairs, slowed down his pace, walked to the camera, stood still, and casually raised his wrist to check the time.
Guo Jingyu, who was staring at the picture on the monitor, showed a satisfied smile and shouted: "Stuck! Passed!"
"Director, do you want to make another guarantee?" He Xin shouted as if he still had some unfinished thoughts.
"It's okay, it's okay, this is enough."
Guo Jingyu waved his hand, and then directed the crew to move to the North Square of the Olympic Sports Center. That was where Chen Fei and his girlfriend were dating.
The person who plays the role of Chen Fei's girlfriend is Wu Yue, the leading female lead in the play.
He Xin always kept a low profile on the set. He had no assistant beside him, so he walked slowly forward among the crowd. He even helped photographer Liu Kai carry a tripod, which made the young photographer very flattered.
.
When setting up the scene, He Xin was communicating with a six or seven-year-old actor who had a guest appearance as a little flower girl with the help of the assistant director.
"My uncle may speak in a harsh tone later, don't be afraid!"
The young actor hired temporarily by the assistant director was obviously very experienced and nodded: "Uncle, I understand, I will act seriously."
He Xin couldn't help but feel happy when he heard it, and said with a smile: "If you perform well, uncle will treat you to candy."
As a result, the young actor looked at him with wide eyes, shook his head and said, "Uncle, I don't want to eat sweets. Can I still act with you in the future?"
Hey, do you like acting at such a young age?
He Xin couldn't help but be stunned. He thought it was quite fun, so he smiled and asked her, "Why do you want to act with your uncle?"
"Because..." The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, and finally said: "Because my mother said that my uncle is a big star!"
Oh, it turns out there were adults to teach me, no wonder I am so good at doing things at such a young age.
He Xin suddenly lost interest and stood up and looked around. Usually young actors like this would be accompanied by their parents when performing.
Because today was the first day of startup, many people present were unfamiliar faces, and he couldn't tell who the parents were.
Then he asked the assistant director: "Whose child is this?"
"The granddaughter of Chairman Guan Singqinshu is an experienced actress. She has acted in "Warm" directed by Huo Jianqi."
"Warm", He Xin knows, this film has recently won the Golden Kirin Award for Best Film at the Tokyo International Film Festival and the Best Film Award at the Golden Rooster Award. It is one of the few domestic films that has won the International Class A Film Festival in recent years.
The highest award for an institutional work.
It was then that He Xin suddenly realized, no wonder this little girl looked so familiar, she turned out to be the famous long-legged little doe of later generations!
"Prepare!"
"start!"
The camera set up in the center of the square first took a long shot. Wu Yue, wearing a red cashmere coat, was waiting in front of a billboard on one side of the square.
Then there are local newspapers posted on the billboards. One of them has a photo of Li Qiang, the second male lead in the drama, on the front page. The black title next to it reads the famous local entrepreneur Li Weicheng...
Perhaps because he had been waiting for a while, Wu Yue looked a little anxious and looked around from time to time.
The camera zoomed back into the distance again, and on the other side of the square, He Xin walked out from the corner of a landscape wall. He quickly came down the steps, running at a trot.
The camera zoomed in, and He Xin saw his girlfriend waiting in the distance, his face suddenly filled with a happy smile, and when he was about to raise his hand to call, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
"Hello!"
"Hey, Bureau Su..."
After letting him hear the content on the phone, the smile on his face suddenly turned into an anxious look, and he hurriedly said: "I, I..."
After finally taking a day off, I made an appointment with my girlfriend. When I saw my girlfriend waiting there, my boss suddenly called me urgently, which made me feel unhappy.
But the profession of a police officer determines that the facts of the case are orders, obey orders, and follow instructions without any excuse for bargaining.
He could only say to the phone: "Okay, okay, I'll be there soon!"
After hanging up the phone, he looked at his girlfriend in the distance, took a few steps forward, and wanted to go over and say hello, but his steps immediately stopped again, and he raised his wrist to look at the time, feeling distracted for a moment.
At this time, the young actor named Xiaotong, who had been waiting for a long time, ran over with a large handful of roses, raised his head and said innocently: "Uncle, would you like to buy a bouquet of flowers for your girlfriend?"
"don't want!"
He was getting annoyed and waved his hands impatiently.
The little girl had no choice but to hold the flowers and continue walking forward.
But then he thought about it, and quickly turned around and called the child, hooked his fingers like a wolf grandma, and said with a smile on his face: "Come on, come on!"
The child came back holding the flowers.
I saw He Xin squatting down and smilingly caressing the handful of bright flowers held by the little girl, and said softly: "Oh, are there roses?"
At this time, Guo Jingyu, who was staring at the monitor screen, couldn't help but admire it secretly.
For a simple play like this, ordinary actors can perform it right away without having to communicate with the director.
The scene of communicating with the little flower seller was completely designed by He Xin himself. At first he was impatient, and he was irritated when facing a little girl, but in the blink of an eye he changed into a smile. This change of expression was very policeman.
When filming a TV series with a criminal investigation theme, not only the actors need to experience life, but the director also needs to understand the most real life and working conditions of criminal police officers.
Generally speaking, police officers, especially criminal police officers, are mostly dog-faced and will fall out whenever they want. There is no way around it. This is determined by the nature of the police profession.
As a law enforcer, it may be your relatives, friends, neighbors or other people you know. When everything is fine, everyone greets you with a smile, but once someone breaks the law, then I'm sorry and I will fall out with you. After all, the law is above everything else.
Yes, as a law enforcer, you can only perform your duties.
But sometimes they go to any lengths to solve a case, even being low-key.
For example, He Xin looked at his girlfriend who was still waiting in the distance, and said to the little flower seller with a smile on his face: "Uncle, buy a bouquet of roses. Can you do me a favor?"
"Okay!" the kid said quickly.
He Xin took out ten dollars from his pocket and handed it to the child. He pointed at Wu Yue in the distance and said, "Can you help uncle give this bouquet of flowers to the aunt in red?"
"no problem!"
The child quickly took the money, put it in his pocket, and ran towards Wu Yue who was standing at the other end of the square with the flowers in his arms.
As the assistant director just introduced, Guan Xiaotong, who looks to be only six or seven years old, is truly an experienced actor. He shows no nervousness at all when facing the camera. He moves naturally and speaks clearly.
Time was urgent, He Xin raised his wrist and looked at the time again, reluctantly glanced at Wu Yue for the last time, then turned around and ran out of the camera quickly.
The camera cuts to the direction of Wu Yue.
Just when Wu Yue put his hands in his coat pockets and browsed the newspapers on the billboards, turned around and looked around again, but still did not see that familiar figure, and when his face showed an anxious look again, he saw the child.
Holding the roses in his arms, he ran to her and said, "Auntie, an uncle gave you a bouquet of flowers!"
Wu Yue took the flowers with some surprise and asked quickly: "Where is uncle?"
But after the little girl sent the flowers, she felt that the task was completed, so she turned around and ran away.
Wu Yue quickly looked into the distance in the direction the little girl came from, but the person waiting had already disappeared without a trace.
Wu Yue looked away in disappointment, looked down at the bright rose in her hand, and sniffed it...
