There are not many outdoor scenes on the street, mainly the long shot at the beginning, the scene of the unlucky deliveryman, the gangster, and the scenes in the back with the police, reporters, and a lot of people watching.
In addition, there are some scattered short shots in the middle, which are basically only one or two seconds and do not take much time.
Of course, I shot the long shot at the beginning. For an online film, the title of the movie is the most important, followed by the cover and poster, and the third is the first five minutes.
Since "The Master Goes Down the Mountain" became a hit, a large number of online movies have flooded the three major platforms, and most of them are bad movies.
After being baptized by these bad movies, the audience naturally has no good impression of the Internet University. In the eyes of the audience, the Internet University is synonymous with bad movies.
Therefore, Internet majors can only rely on film titles and cover posters to attract people, otherwise it will be difficult for people to click in.
For example, for an ethical film, have a sexually suggestive title, and have a cover poster with a woman with a stunning figure, and wear as little clothing as possible. But any normal man who sees it will not be able to help but click on it.
Getting the audience to click in is half the battle, and the rest is the first five minutes. If you retain the audience in these five minutes, you will get an effective click.
There are no exciting scenes at the beginning of "Sniper Phone Booth". It mainly depends on the performance of Lei Jiayin and Peng Yuchang, as well as the later editing and processing of this long shot.
First, I took pictures of various aspects of life on the street. Thirty or forty group actors of different ages and genders, pretending to be different professions, were doing their own things on the street.
I took some close-ups of different people flashing by on the phone, with all kinds of emotions including joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and then took some close-ups of the phone booth.
After the scattered shots in the opening were shot, it was the turn of the long shots of Lei Jiayin and Peng Yuchang.
"let's start."
Li Qian ordered into the walkie-talkie, and Qi Yukun on the street outside immediately announced the start of filming.
After waiting for a few seconds, Lei Jiayin and Peng Yuchang appeared on the monitor.
The two of them walked a little fast. Lei Jiayin walked quickly and was still dealing with customers on the phone.
Compared with Lei Jiayin who looked calm, Peng Yuchang behind him seemed to be in a hurry, with a mobile phone in one hand and a briefcase hanging on his arm. He was also dealing with some difficult customers, following Lei Jiayin step by step, and from time to time.
He raised his head and observed him.
One is calm and composed, one is frizzy, one is in a straight suit, and the other is also wearing trousers and a shirt, but they are obviously one size too big. Not only do they not look formal, but they are also a bit funny.
The combination of two completely different images, doing the same thing, but appearing together in the camera looks very funny.
While making two phone calls at the same time, Peng Yuchang didn't pay attention to Lei Jiayin's steps. He bumped into Lei Jiayin and dropped his phone to the ground.
The camera then gave a close-up of Peng Yuchang who was bending down to pick up his mobile phone. His expression was as if the teacher had caught him playing with his mobile phone in class, with a look of horror on his face.
Lei Jiayin turned around and scolded him, which scared Peng Yuchang and bowed and apologized repeatedly. Li Qian was very familiar with this scene. He usually did this when he had something to do, but after living together for ten days, he got a little better and didn't bow frequently.
But at this moment, a sexy girl with a hot figure and cool clothes walked by. Lei Jiayin didn't care about cursing, and kept staring at the girl's back.
Peng Yuchang immediately turned his head and followed Lei Jiayin's gaze. Seeing that he stopped scolding him, his expression softened a little, and he showed a flattering smile again.
However, Lei Jiayin turned a blind eye and waited until his girl walked away, then turned around and continued walking forward.
This long shot shows the character's personality vividly, a broker who talks about things and a submissive assistant.
After all, this was Peng Yuchang's first time filming, so even though it fit the character's personality well, it was still a bit uninteresting.
Every change of expression was too deliberate, as if he knew what he should do in advance, what expressions and emotions he should show, and it was not natural at all.
But it’s not a big problem. I passed this long shot in five passes.
After shooting this long shot, we shot a scene where the two of them separated and Lei Jiayin walked into the phone booth. The whole morning passed like this.
"Everyone, let's have a rest and let's eat!"
After announcing that dinner was ready, Li Qian also got up from his chair. Sitting like this all the time was not very comfortable.
The few Chinese drama students who had been watching them filming immediately gathered around, still holding scripts in their hands.
"Director Li, I heard Director Guo say that you wrote this crew. Is it true?"
As soon as they got the script, they thought the title was quite novel, and upon seeing it, they were completely attracted by the plot content.
I didn't expect that such an Internet drama would have such a wonderful script.
The plot is just 60 minutes long. Although there are not many thrilling plots, the story is simple, and there are not many twists and turns, it is not inferior to any suspense film.
Moreover, the storyboard script was far beyond their expectations. As a Chinese drama student, I still have the ability to read storyboards. Those with a stronger sense of image can directly imagine the approximate effect of the shot in their minds.
What surprised them even more was that this was actually written by Li Qian himself. How old he looked was, which made several Chinese drama geniuses unable to believe it.
Facing their gazes, Li Qian nodded, "Of course, I wrote the script and storyboards."
Everyone got a positive answer and didn't know what to say. Only Song Yi asked tentatively, "Director Li, how old are you."
Li Qian smiled and said, "24 is a little older than you."
twenty four?
hiss!
He was younger than they thought, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
If they hadn't seen the filming in the morning, these talented people who were on stage would definitely have questioned it, but they were watching from the side during the filming. At least from their perspective, they couldn't raise any questions.
With what they learned in books, they couldn't even give any opinions on the shooting.
Even the most proud identity of a student of the Department of Chinese Opera and Performance is too embarrassed to show off.
After all, Peng Yuchang, who looks about the same age as them, completed a long shot of a sport without much difficulty, and after knowing that Peng Yuchang is still in his senior year of high school this year, he can no longer feel arrogant.
"Okay, you guys are going to have dinner too. If you don't have anything to do this afternoon, come and act as a guest performer."
Li Qian didn't say much to them. Young people are not easily affected. When they wake up tomorrow morning, they will be the second in command and I will be the boss.
However, there was no such thing as a 250-year-old idiot, which surprised Li Qian. He had seen it before on a certain crew. A young actor was late. The director gave him a few words of scolding, but the actor turned around.
I got in the car and left. I arrived a few minutes later the next day than the day before. I signed a contract with a big company and had a good background.
Now, these people can be used as free labor. They don't have to use it in vain. They can save whatever they can. The project is almost finished and the funds are not much.
Li Qian thought about walking towards Lei Jiayin, "Big head."
"What's the matter, Director Li?" Lei Jiayin stopped eating rice and wiped his mouth.
"Look at the two of them, who is a suitable lover?"
Li Qian pointed to the two female Chinese opera students who were eating together on the other side.
"???"
"If you were given a choice, who would you choose as your lover?"
"ah???"
Lei Jiayin looked confused, she was filming a movie, how could she still choose a lover?
And the crew that sends a wife? But it also depends on whether the person is willing or not!
"I mean, who do you think is suitable to play your lover? From the perspective of the male protagonist in the movie, which one of them will you choose?"
"Hey, I thought"
Lei Jiayin rubbed his big head and said, "Both of them are very good-looking. How do I know how to choose? Besides, isn't it the director's job to choose actors?"
Li Qian thought for a while, "Look over there."
Lei Jiayin did as he was told and looked at the students.
"Song Yi, Jiang Kaitong."
A shout caused the two girls to turn their heads and look over at the same time.
"It's okay." Li Qian waved his hand.
The two girls were confused and looked at each other in confusion before turning back to continue eating.
Li Qian asked Xiang Lei Jiayin with a smile, "Now think about it, when they turned their heads away, who were you thinking about, or whose back were you staring at?"
Generally, the first impression of a person basically determines the subsequent attitude towards him. When you see two girls at the same time, one of them will have a deeper impression in your mind. People will not lie to themselves in their hearts, unless two girls
If they are all like flowers, then all that is left is disgusting.
Of course, this is definitely not love. If you fall in love with someone the first time you meet her, it would be too easy to like her. At most, she is just lustful.
Lei Jiayin understood what Li Qian meant, whichever girl attracted him more would be more suitable to play his lover.
He thought for a while and was about to speak.
Suddenly, his left eye squinted, and he instinctively felt a pressure coming from behind.
"Who were you thinking about just now?"
A familiar voice came from behind, frightening Lei Jiayin to the point where he could barely hold the chopsticks in his hand.
