Chapter 314: Chen He is the subject of the experiment
"Oh oh oh oh!"
There was a burst of cheers, and the surrounding people were very enthusiastic. While taking pictures and videos with their mobile phones, they also did not forget to give support and shouted everyone's names. Among them, the loudest one was Chen He.
The artists responded with smiles and waves.
"Director Qin," after passing through the crowd, Chen He walked to Qin Xiaobao: "There are more people calling my name."
"You are an actor and I am just a director. It is not normal to call you that."
"Okay!" After hitting a soft nail, Chen He instantly felt less happy.
There were many people at the scene, and there were also representatives of the sponsors in attendance, so the opening ceremony was naturally not as simple as it was for "The Man Is From Earth".
On the east side of the square, the altar table has been set up, with the statue of Lord Guan standing in the middle, and the serious tributes of the three animals are placed on it. Next to it is a huge display stand, with the opening ceremony of "Supernatural Family" written on it.
A few big characters.
The emcee was invited from outside, holding a microphone and introducing the guests one by one. Although it was a county town, and although most of the onlookers were middle-aged and elderly people, you could still get a response after calling out their names.
Artists can't always wear gorgeous clothes, stand in the spotlight, and accept the cheers of fans.
More often, we will encounter various situations. The singer's microphone stops making noise, he accidentally falls on the red carpet... It is not too difficult to face a bunch of spectators in a small county town who mainly watch the fun.
Strange.
After everyone was introduced, the sound of gongs and drums was heard, and three pairs of lion dancers emerged from the corner, stepping on the drums and came to the front of the altar table.
"Oh, we also prepared a lion dance, which is quite lively." Qin Xiaobao smiled and whispered to the fat director.
"Yeah, let's start the movie. It's better to be more lively. There was a saying in the past that the higher the popularity, the better the box office will be in the future."
"Haha, we should invite more people." Qin Xiaobao clapped his hands and shouted a few words.
The lion dance stirred up the atmosphere.
This is not an opening ceremony, nor is it a company opening, so there is no silly arrangement for a director or leader to speak.
It's just the master of ceremonies who carries out the process one by one.
Dot the eyes, burn incense and worship, lift the red hijab of the camera...
An hour passed in such a lively manner, and everyone got back in the car and drove in another direction.
"Director Qin, the venue has been cleared." Deputy Director Wang saw Qin Xiaobao get out of the car and stepped forward to report.
"Okay," Qin Xiaobao turned around and said, "The actors will put on makeup right away and start shooting on time at half past ten."
"receive."
Not only the staff, but Chen He and others also quickly moved and entered the hotel.
It was said to be a hotel, but it was actually a little better than a guest house. Qin Xiaobao went straight to the second floor and got to room 201.
The area is about ten square meters, with a bed, a bedside table, a broken TV, a coffee table, and a wall calendar hanging crookedly on the wall.
The two cameras inside have been positioned and the lighting has been adjusted.
Qin Xiaobao looked around and found nothing wrong. He nodded with satisfaction: "It's the first time today to turn on the phone. Everyone is very energetic. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, director!"
After inspecting the scene, he went to the monitoring room next door and took a look. The room was too small, so the monitor was placed on the side. He sat down and issued a few commands. After debugging, he made sure there were no problems and went up to the third floor.
The five actors were divided into two rooms. They had changed their clothes and were putting on makeup.
He doesn't know much about makeup, but he knows what effect he wants. The makeup artist is obviously very professional.
After reading it, I returned to the second floor again.
After waiting for a while, Chen He came down, wearing khaki short-sleeves, casual pants, messy hair, a somewhat unshaven chin, and a look of decadence.
"How about it, director!"
He walked around in front of Qin Xiaobao. It's not that Chen He was ugly. He had to let the director see if he was qualified. He had also taken makeup photos before, but it was still very different from the actual shooting.
"Turn left, turn right, smile, make a face, be in a daze..." Qin Xiaobao gave instructions one after another.
The other people around him remained silent. All the work that needed to be done was done and the director could not be disturbed.
Chen He also fulfilled various requirements very seriously.
Qin Xiaobao was about to nod when he saw the shoes under his feet, a pair of sneakers that looked like they had been worn for a long time.
"Props, props!" He raised his head and shouted several times.
"Director Qin." Someone from the side immediately came over.
"Brother He, change your shoes to the slippers from the hotel." Qin Xiaobao pointed.
"Okay, right away."
Chen He looked at his shoes: "Hey, isn't this suitable for my current status?"
"I didn't say that the shoes are not suitable for you, but they are not suitable for the current occasion. People are timid after all. Lin Dahai chose to take medicine, which shows that he is also afraid and entangled in his heart. In other words, before leaving, he will give himself
A relatively comfortable state." Qin Xiaobao explained his thoughts.
"The time in the movie is the same as the weather we have now. Think about it, after walking for a day, it's stuffy and hot. It's not too much to change shoes. Wearing sneakers again is a bit deliberate and can show his failure.
In fact, your makeup and the narration that will be added later can already make the audience understand the reason for suicide, so there is no need to deliberately add these small details."
"Oh..." Chen He nodded and put on the slippers brought by the props: "Then this is not a small detail?"
"I changed my mind, let him wear it."
"Wrong, wrong, director, I was wrong." Chen He quickly took his hand and smiled flatteringly.
"Hurry, get in position." Qin Xiaobao said, turned around and walked to the front of the monitor. The photographer did not need to explain and pointed the camera at Chen He.
Qin Xiaobao looked at the camera and picked up the microphone: "Brother He, smile."
Chen He looked at the camera and smiled,
"Lower your waist,"
Chen He looked behind him in embarrassment: "Director, although I have lost weight, I really can't do it."
Hahahahaha, the shooting scene was full of laughter.
Qin Xiaobao also smiled: "Okay, the first shot is a close-up of the face, and then it will slowly zoom out to cover the whole body." After speaking, he nodded to the fat director.
"actor,"
"have,"
"Photographer,"
"have,"
"light,"
"have,"
"..."
After all the departments were called, the recorder took out the slate: ""Supernatural Family", Act 1, Shot 1... Bang!"
"A!"
Qin Xiaobao wore headphones and stared at the camera:
Lin Dahai drooped his eyelids, with a look of despair on his face, his shoulders were naturally slumped, and he had dark circles under his eyes. When paired with Chen He's face, in addition to joy, he also had some inexplicable feelings, which attracted people's attention.
Curious, curious what happened.
Suddenly, Lin Dahai moved, but his eyes were still out of focus. He stretched out his right hand, grabbed a handful of pills, and stuffed them into his mouth. Because there were too many pills, he couldn't take them into his mouth. Some pills fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
"CUT!" Qin Xiaobao shouted and everyone stopped.
He got up and came to 201, looking at Chen He who was full of sugar pills: "Brother He, the action of taking the medicine is a bit sudden, why not like this, you swallow hard, then take a deep breath, and then try inserting the pills."
Chen He spit out the "pills" in his mouth and gargled his mouth: "Director, let me try it first and you can see the effect."
"Okay." Qin Xiaobao returned to the monitor.
Chen He sat there motionless. After adjusting his emotions, he nodded slightly to the camera and started performing.
Everything else remains unchanged, except that two small continuous actions are added.
"How about it?"
"Very good, just do it like this!"
"Okay."
In the film school, Professor Chen and Qin Xiaobao had a conversation.
"Film is also an art when it is being shot. It is an art for anyone to communicate. As a director, your task is to transform words into pictures for the audience in front of the big screen to appreciate.
Actors are the medium, they are the weapons through which you express your inner thoughts.
Don’t be stingy about communication. If you have any ideas, tell the actors directly that I don’t praise them. Give me a plan, then say nothing and let the actors express themselves freely.
Wong Kar Wai did this, so what?
His works are very average at the box office because the audience doesn't like to see them. What is art that a few people like?
Then it’s okay that this kind of art doesn’t exist.
So, either, you just state the effect you want clearly and let the actor follow your ideas. If you are not that good at it, ask the actor to take a few more shots to find the most suitable performance method. Don't just shout if you think it's the same.
Pass."
When he first faced his brother, Liu Tianwang and the others, Qin Xiaobao was actually sincere in his heart.
Are you kidding me? The actor is teaching everyone how to act in front of you?
However, now the mentality has changed, and Chen He has become the best experimental subject.
