"That video was taken by the former Tengxun News reporter?"
Li Qian looked at the embarrassed Lu Chao in front of him and asked with a smile.
"Probably not. We generally don't bring this kind of equipment. The other two may be paparazzi. I suspect they took the photos secretly and then sold them to Lao Wang, the reporter from Tengxun." Lu Chao said quickly.
Although he came back again, Lu Chao was still very embarrassed when his undercover agent was caught in public, but he still wanted to clarify himself, "Director Li, I am a regular reporter. I just came to the set to see if there is any news about the movie. I secretly filmed it."
I never do anything like this."
Li Qian shook his head, noncommittal.
But it has nothing to do with him, for sure. Tengxun and Xinlang are old enemies. Not long after Xinlang’s Weibo came out, Tengxun also created a Weibo, but it was not enough to fight against.
This is the first time that Tengxun has failed to imitate others, which is considered rare.
It was sent out by Tengxun News, so it probably has nothing to do with this salary-stricken reporter.
Lu Chao felt a little disappointed when he saw Li Qian shaking his head, but then he heard Li Qian smile again, "But I still have to thank you. Without you, the other three reporters and paparazzi would not have been discovered."
"..." Lu Chao didn't know what to say. Speaking of which, he betrayed his teammates. No, he wasn't a teammate, he was an opponent.
"Let's do this. Stop being sneaky. You publish a news in my name and say that all the netizens have guessed wrong. The only right thing is to sell advertising placement." Li Qian said.
"Ah?" Lu Chao was a little confused. What did Li Qian mean?
Isn't this a scolding? Since the "If You Are the One" series, Ma Xiaogang has been criticized as an advertising director. Even if other companies and directors know that advertising placement is very profitable, they don't dare to be too public about it.
If you say it's for the sake of topics, that's not right. Li Qian has no shortage of topics at all.
"That's it, treat it as an interview with me. You make up the rest yourself. Just don't scold me, otherwise I will settle the score with your editor-in-chief."
Li Qian waved his hand and added, "By the way, this advertising placement is a key point in the movie. Let the audience guess, so that they don't have to think about anything all day long. I'm really busy. Find something.
Let them do the work."
Is ad placement the key?
Lu Chao became energetic instantly. If this was the case, it would make sense.
"Don't worry, Director Li, just leave it to me." With a guaranteed vote, Lu Chao left immediately, found a hotel to stay, and began to prepare the manuscript.
...
"Boss, why don't you hold him accountable? Why don't you give him news for free?" Guo Fan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"What's the point? I just saw what was said on the Internet and it was clear and logical. They all seemed to have seen through everything, so I couldn't help but hit them." Li Qian said with a smile.
These netizens underestimate themselves too much. How can we not crack down on them?
As for the reporter, seeing that he was a loyal fan of hers, I sent him off so that I could save myself the trouble of posting on Weibo.
Moreover, infiltrating into the crew did not cause any trouble, but instead uncovered other paparazzi.
Paparazzi are different from reporters. Regular reporters will not take secret photos. Those who do these things are paparazzi.
The public never hates reporters, they just hate paparazzi.
Li Yapeng choked the paparazzi who was following him.
Dou Wei burned Zhuo Wei's car.
Fan Binbin was secretly photographed up her skirt and kicked by the paparazzi angrily.
It's the same thing all over the world. The one who got the biggest reaction was the football king Maradona. He was so angry that he shot a paparazzi with an air gun more than ten years ago. The paparazzi then took him to court and seemed to have served him two years in prison.
Journalists have to take exams, but paparazzi can be done by anyone.
Don't think that if you hang a camera on your chest and shoot random photos of others, you are a reporter, but the public is often confused.
Reporters are not offensive, it is the paparazzi who are offensive.
So Li Qian did not pursue that Lu Chao, but instead gave him a piece of news because he was his loyal fan.
...
After a small episode, Li Qian continued filming.
It's getting dark, so it's no longer suitable to shoot outside. Maybe after a while of preparation and a few NGs, it will get dark. It's a waste of time.
Li Qian took the crew to a five-story office building near the square and filmed a semi-indoor scene.
After Truman discovered that he was being watched, he hid in a building. When he went up to the elevator, he discovered that the elevator door was not an elevator.
"Scene 31, one shot at a time!"
"start!"
After giving an order, Deng Chao appeared on the monitor in a hurry at the door of the building, glanced at the people coming in and out and the security guard at the front desk, arranged his clothes, calmed down, and walked towards the elevator with a calm face.
However, the elevator was closed as soon as I reached the door, and I couldn't catch this one, so I walked to the door of the elevator next to it and pressed it hard.
The front desk security guard played by the crew noticed his unexpected arrival and immediately came over.
"Hello sir, do you have an appointment?"
Deng Chao turned around and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma and I have made an appointment."
Just as he was speaking, the elevator door opened in front of him.
But Deng Chao turned sideways to talk to the security guard and didn't see it.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ma is not here today. Please come back another day." The security guard said quickly, pulling up Deng Chao's clothes and trying to take him away.
"impossible."
Deng Chao smiled, turned around and walked into the elevator.
But he was dumbfounded. What he saw in front of him was not an elevator, but a lounge of the program team. Several people were holding scripts, drinking tea and eating snacks.
Deng Chao was stunned, and the smile in his eyes slowly disappeared.
Several people inside also panicked and quickly closed the elevator door without saying a word.
The security guards also quickly pulled Deng Chao away.
Deng Chao shouted excitedly, "What is this?"
"Click!"
Li Qian called out and picked up the walkie-talkie, "Brother Chao, don't react so much at the beginning. Just use a normal tone. At first, he didn't come back to his senses. It's unbelievable. He asked in a normal tone and was dragged to the gate.
It only breaks out when the situation arises, and there is a process of reaction.”
For such an unbelievable thing, everyone's first reaction is to be dumbfounded. Even the smartest people can't think so fast.
After thinking about it for a while, we started shooting.
This time, Deng Chao did not resist when he was dragged away. He collapsed and allowed two strong security guards to drag him out.
"What is this?" Deng Chao looked back at the closed elevator with a confused expression, but no one seemed to see anything. For a moment, people even doubted whether they had seen it wrong.
"The elevator is under renovation." The security guard replied dully and continued to drag him out.
"What on earth is going on?" Deng Chao's tone increased and he began to question, and his hands began to resist.
"What on earth are they doing!"
"none of your business!"
"If you don't tell me, I'll call the police!"
Deng Chao yelled loudly to drive away the fear in his heart, but he was still thrown out by the security guard.
In shock, he stood at the door, staring at the lobby of the office building, faintly frightened.
He slammed the door with his briefcase to vent his anger, and then ran out crazily.
He ran half backwards, looking at the building as he ran, and finally stopped in the middle of the road.
The camera advanced to a medium shot. Deng Chao was standing in the middle of the road holding his briefcase. Everyone turned a blind eye to him. Even two traffic policemen ignored him when they passed by him.
The camera slowly advances again. When doing post-production here, the background and everyone must be blurred to show that everyone else is fake and only Truman is real.
"Okay, pass!"
Deng Chao still acted out that feeling of fear and helplessness, and it was not just on his face, but mainly in his eyes and overall body movements. Even without large movements, you can still tell that this person is very
panic.
The performances in the movie should be more subtle. Unlike the TV series, the body movements in the stage play are large. Because the TV screen is small, the eyes cannot be seen clearly except for close-ups. The same is true for the stage. Those who sit far away cannot see the actors' expressions, let alone
eyes.
Therefore, the body movements and lines of drama actors are very different from those of movie actors. Generally speaking, they use too much force.
I still have some time to shoot a scene where Truman goes to his best friend to explain his findings.
This is the scene where Truman suspiciously talks about the abnormality he experienced, and then Zhang Wei copes with it with a smile.
After three passes, Zhang Wei's performance surprised Li Qian. This kind of role of good brother and best friend is really suitable.
It's so reassuring to have this kind of friend around. It can be said that he has a mediocre but lovable face.
It was getting late, so the crew had dinner and then moved indoors to shoot a bedroom scene.
"Scene 13, one shot at a time, let's begin!"
Deng Chao came in soaked in the rain and told Wang Ou about his desire to travel around the world.
"As long as we save another 100,000 yuan, we can start traveling around the world."
"Then, we have nothing like five years ago?" Wang Ou felt a little funny, shook his head and said, "Truman, can you be more mature and stop acting like a reckless child."
When his wife said this, Deng Chao was not angry at all, but his eyes lit up, "Maybe I am a child to begin with, and my heart will always be eighteen."
"But we still have a house loan and a car loan to repay. If we leave at once, who will repay the loan and who will take care of my mother." Wang Ou raised a practical question.
Deng Chao stood up and said with excitement, "This is an adventurous and exciting trip!"
"But didn't we agree to have a child? Isn't this exciting enough? Are you ready to be a father?" Wang Ou's persuasion failed, and he threw out his trump card.
This time Deng Chao was unmoved, "We are still young and can wait for two years. Why not take a walk now to see the world and have an adventure!"
Wang Ou had no choice but to stand up and come to Deng Chao, caressing his face and chuckled, "My dear, do you want to be an explorer?"
Wang Ou put his fingers on Deng Chao's lips, put his mouth close to his ear, and breathed softly, "Soon you won't think about it anymore. Take off your wet clothes and go to sleep."
Kissing him from his face to his lips, Wang Ou kissed Deng Chao on the corner of his mouth, took off Deng Chao's coat, and then pressed him on the bed.
"Click!"
Li Qian shook his head, why is this paragraph so awkward? It seems that they are not a couple, but a prostitute and a lady, but the prostitute is in a bad mood.
"Wang Ou, come here."
Li Qian called up the clip just now, pointed at it and said, "Look, this is the image of a good wife and loving mother?"
"Director Li?" Wang Ou said a little uncertainly, "Didn't you say that you want... to...",
Wang Ou was really embarrassed to say the word bitch.
"That was later, not now. This is the scene at the beginning. Truman has no doubts yet, so what you have to show now is a good wife and loving mother." Li Qian was speechless. Although the appearance and temperament were very suitable, he was a model.
, I have never studied acting systematically, and once I get to the crew, especially the film crew, all my shortcomings are exposed.
There is an unpleasant saying that Li Qian didn't say. This performance is basically to seduce Deng Chao. From the beginning to the move of the mouth, he is quite skillful. Especially the tone of Deng Chao's whisper in his ear is full of charm. I wonder if Deng Chao has any
Feel.
"Director Li, I understand." Wang Ou said quickly.
"Don't you remember what I told you that day? Put away that flattery. Even if you don't need to show it later, you are just a wife comforting your husband in this scene. You don't have to think about anything else." Li Qian said.
"I understand, Director Li." Wang Ou nodded repeatedly.
Go brew it and rest for a quarter of an hour.
Deng Chao walked over at this time, thought for a while and said, "Actually, I think it would be better for Wang Ou to be less natural. After all, this is all acting and it is just her job."
Li Qian shook his head, "It's true, but it has been ten years, 3,600 days. You two have slept together countless times. You have become accustomed to it after so long. It is unnatural and superfluous."
For a young lady, it will definitely not be natural for her first time to receive a customer, and it will be the same for the tenth time, but for the hundredth or a thousand times, it will be the same as eating and drinking. It will be the same as for a young lady who has received a thousand lessons. The role of a wife is
There is almost no bottom line, and it also shows at the beginning that the program team has no bottom line and will do anything for ratings."
Deng Chao said quickly, "Don't talk nonsense. How many times do we have sex? They are two characters in the movie."
This Li Qian is talking with his eyes closed. It's okay to just say such ambiguous words and let others hear him.
"Yes, it's a role." Li Qian smiled and said, "Also, Brother Chao, don't be like last time. There is a reaction in your eyes. An old couple who has been married for many years, even if his wife is tempting him,
There won't be any reaction, let alone Truman has just experienced a bizarre thing, and what he wants most is to leave here."
Deng Chao shrank subconsciously and said, "How can I react? I didn't."
Li Qian shrugged, "Brother Chao, please be more serious. It's not about your body, it's about your eyes. Wang Ou's expression and tone just now were so flattering. In the close-up shot, your eyes clearly reacted."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a professional actor. Even if you take off your clothes and stand in front of me, I won't even look at you!" Deng Chaoyi said righteously.
"Okay, okay, I guess you didn't, please pay attention next time."
"Not in the first place." After Deng Chao finished speaking, he stopped talking to Li Qian and returned to his seat, wondering what Li Qian could say.
After a quarter of an hour, filming continued.
But I still failed the second time.
"Don't be too presumptuous. How many years have we been together? How can we still be innocent?"
"Click!"
"Click!"
"Just like coaxing a child. In your eyes, Truman is just a child, even worse than a child."
"Kakaka!"
"Are you really going to coax the child? Just sing a lullaby!"
"Click!"
"Click!"
"Click!"
The first scene of the heroine ushered in the first hurdle for the crew.
Not every non-professional actor is like Wang Baoqiang who can find a role that perfectly suits him at the beginning of his career.
Wang Ou almost cried. Li Qian asked her to treat her as a child, but she did as he was told, but it didn't work anymore.
Li Qian didn't have any good solutions. He could only deal with this situation slowly. Fortunately, the crew had plenty of time.
Fortunately, it was a night show at night and indoors.
It failed twice more, and Li Qian personally demonstrated once.
"Pay attention to your expression and tone, and make sure you understand it, and don't let your eyes wander. Truman has everything under your control. He doesn't propose to travel just once or twice.
Be gentle in your movements and tone, and don't be overly provocative. This is your husband, and he is in a bad mood. You are trying to comfort him and divert his attention, not engage in couple fun."
One scene took three hours to film, and Deng Chao's wet hair was completely dry, and he got wet again midway through.
