"OK, it's over," Qin Xiaobao didn't get up, but shouted with a loudspeaker: "Brother He, don't move."
Chen He made an OK gesture to the camera.
When shooting a movie, there is a certain sequence. For example, the scenes in the hotel will be shot together, which makes it more efficient.
However, it is inevitable that when shooting a shot of a few seconds, the camera position must be changed and the actors wait. The main purpose of this is to prevent it from being easily betrayed.
Qin Xiaobao actually doesn't pay that much attention to details when watching movies, but there is a scene in the second season of an American TV series "Black Robe Picket" that he remembers deeply.
Two people from the motherland were in the hut, and the camera kept cutting back and forth, and it was discovered that an earring appeared and disappeared. Obviously, there must have been a long interval during the filming before such a shot appeared.
In fact, this does not affect the viewing, but he is unwilling to make such a mistake, not to mention, there are a group of netizens who are eagerly watching and publishing these photos on major platforms.
"Brother Xue, you guys are getting ready to enter. Just take a close-up."
"Good director."
"Bah!" The clapperboard rang again.
Chen He's back appeared in the camera, with only his head turned, staring at the ringing phone on the table.
"OK, passed!"
It was just a very simple shot. Sun Li and the others quickly came to Chen He's side, and the five of them squatted in a row.
"Crack!"
I thought it would only take a few seconds, but something unexpected happened. While Chen He was staring, he suddenly coughed and the candy in his mouth began to pop.
"Cut!" Qin Xiaobao shouted, this was definitely a bad moment.
After being patted on the back and drinking water again, it took a while before Chen He came to his senses.
"I'm sorry," he pointed to his throat: "The sugar melted and stuck to my throat. I just can't bear it."
"It's okay, Brother He, let's do it again."
This was not a mistake. He could not control the situation. NG Qin Xiaobao was not angry at all. He held a handful of candy in his mouth for several minutes, which must have been uncomfortable.
Speaking of which, Chen He's acting skills are still online.
Before filming, Qin Xiaobao made a three-part agreement with him.
First: No, hahaha, haha, hahahaha, you laugh,
Second: Don’t raise your eyebrows,
Third: Don’t act like a god of war with a crooked mouth or squinted eyes.
The main reason why he is criticized is that he uses these three points too frequently, and similar expressions appear more than once in almost every drama.
As for whether it was the director's request or his spontaneous action, Qin Xiaobao didn't know. Anyway, just ban it.
He wants to give the audience a brand new Chen He who is completely different from the impression.
So far, Brother He's performance is still very good. This also has something to do with the plot. He was not given a chance to wink, and he still had to stare at him from behind.
After reloading, the second time passed quickly. Sun Li and the others quickly moved away from the camera. Unable to stay in the room any longer, they went to the monitoring room next door and stood behind Qin Xiaobao and watched quietly.
Didi, didi, didi...
The phone keeps ringing,
Lin Dahai struggled for a while: Pfft...
Pills were scattered all over the floor.
Qin Xiaobao looked at his expression seriously. The expression of frustration and helplessness was vivid and exquisite, especially when he could see a little regret, which was rare.
Lin Dahai finally plucked up the courage, but was disrupted by a sudden phone call. He must be feeling very complicated inside.
"Passed!"
After Chen He cleaned up the candy in his mouth, he also came over. Qin Xiaobao made way.
It's a good habit for actors to watch playback after filming, and as a director, I won't stop them.
There were only a few scenes and the total was less than five minutes. Chen He watched it three times and said, "It seems okay."
"It's indeed good," Sun Li nodded: "Moreover, there is no trace of Chen He in it. It's like a different person. Most importantly, it's very natural and there is no trace of acting, which is very rare."
"Hey, Sister Li will be embarrassed to praise me so much. Let's do this. I'll give you the chicken drumsticks for lunch."
"It's settled."
Wang Bingbing is also behind her. Not only did she have no scenes today, but she will not have any scenes for a long time, but she still came to the set to learn.
"Director Qin, what do you mean by Sister Li not being like Chen He?" she asked in a low voice.
Next came the group play. The actors were touching up their makeup. Qin Xiaobao also had time to explain to her: "Because your brother He's previous works all have similar points. Regardless of the image, personality, expressions and lines, they are almost all based on the same mold. Who plays the role?"
They are all Chen He."
Wang Bingbing was still smart, tilting her head, squinting her eyes and making an expression.
"Yes, that's what it means. This has limitations for actors, and the acting path will become narrower and narrower."
"I understand, then, Director Qin," Wang Bingbing was used to calling her Brother Xiaobao, and she couldn't change it. Why can fans be so free? Hum!
"For example, when I watch Brother He or Teacher Lin perform, what should I focus on?"
His girlfriend is eager to learn, so Qin Xiaobao is naturally willing to teach: "Actually, this varies from person to person. My suggestion to you is that you can first think about it in your head, how you would act if it were you, make a plan, and then compare them
, see what’s different.
The next step is to think about why he acted like this and what effect it produced.
Of course, acting skills can be changed. There is a saying that if you are sad to a certain extent, you will laugh because it can affect the audience more.
Just talking about sadness, you can cry loudly, you can shed tears silently, you can be silent, you can have tears in your eyes, there are dozens of ways to express it, so how do you choose?"
"How to choose?"
"Suitability means finding the right expressions and movements for the character and the plot. Therefore, it is very important to study the character. Understand your character's personality, age, work status, preferences, and other factors, and then put them in.
This is why Brother Xue and I made a movie and went to school to study, because he didn’t know what the living and working conditions of university professors were like, and he didn’t know what they usually do, so he wanted to experience it up close.”
Bang bang bang bang, several actors nearby were applauding.
"Listening to what you have to say is better than ten years of reading."
"Director Qin said it well."
“I’m deeply touched!”
Qin Xiaobao was a little embarrassed. What he said was based on his own experience and what he learned in school. He could handle Wang Bingbing. However, for these veteran actors, they were a bit out of their depth. I didn't expect that all of them had such good ears.
"Stop laughing at me."
"Really not." Sun Li put away her smile: "If you don't talk about other things, what you said is appropriate. It is really appropriate, concise, clear, and appropriate."
"Yes, I can act, but if I tell others what to do, I won't be able to do it." Lin Xue smiled innocently.
"How about Director Qin is the director and we are the actors."
"Come on, don't be poor, go over and get ready." Qin Xiaobao deliberately pulled a face.
