At the beach, no one knew anything about being "surveilled", and the filming of "Jaws" continued smoothly.
To say it went smoothly, it was not particularly smooth. While filming, Li Qian intentionally or unintentionally rubbed Li Guangjie's temper.
Not only to show his authority as a director, but also to make Li Guangjie look like the leading actor in the movie.
For this reason, even if it took two more scenes, Li Qian still left some scenes where the male protagonist was entangled and couldn't decide for the next few days to shoot.
I shot two scenes in the morning. In addition to the first scene where the missing limbs were discovered, the next scene was the scene with the tourists on the beach.
If there are too many group performances, it won't be so easy to control, and there will always be some mistakes.
Fortunately, at least I took a panoramic photo before dinner.
After lunch, the shooting continued.
"Lao Qi, Lao Guo, the extras are all in place and don't make any mistakes!"
When there are too many people, all kinds of minor problems tend to arise.
The larger the crew, the more difficult it is to manage, otherwise there would be very few people in the country who can make blockbusters.
Always reshooting because of some unnecessary minor problems can easily affect the mood, especially the mood of the lead actor.
Li Guangjie is not in a good mood right now. He thought that it would not be difficult to take a photo of someone with a big net and grasp it at his fingertips.
As a result, the first scene was shot five times. Not to mention, the first scene in the afternoon couldn’t be simpler, and it didn’t go smoothly.
"Click!"
"You still play too much!"
This scene is a scene where the male protagonist has just been told by his boss not to talk nonsense and is sitting on the beach watching the tourists playing in the sea.
Even the focus of this shot is not the male protagonist, but a little boy who plays an extra.
The little boy was playing in the water at the beach, ran back to the shore to get an inflatable mattress, and then returned to the sea.
The little boy who is about to get into trouble, passes by the male protagonist who can't do anything, once and twice, this is the meaning of this shot.
The same question came up three times in a row. Li Qian got up from his chair and quickly came to the shooting scene.
"What's going on, Brother Jie?"
This time Li Qian didn't call out his name directly, and Li Guangjie breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his thoughts.
"I figured since this little boy walking past me was going to be attacked by a shark next, I should"
However, before Li Guangjie finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Qian.
"You can't use your God's perspective to view the characters in the movie. You have been staring at the tourists playing on the sea. If a person walks by, you pay attention to him. Doesn't that clearly tell the audience that something will happen to this person?"
"Sudden things are more exciting and have a stronger thriller effect. Once you are mentally prepared, the effect will be greatly reduced. This sudden fright is the core of the first half of the movie. Otherwise, I would have arranged for a lot of sharks to appear.
The illusion is not in vain!"
"That's it, no need to discuss it, just do as I say."
After Li Qian finished speaking, he returned to the monitor, leaving Li Guangjie with a helpless expression.
When he first called him Brother Jie, Li Guangjie thought that Li Qian had become easier to talk to. He was about to say something nice, but the result was like this again, with no good words to say.
But there is no way. The director has the final say in filming. If you don't listen to the actors' suggestions, the actors can't keep fighting.
It’s so easy to handle!
Guo Fan saw this and wrote it down again in his little notebook.
He smiled and said, "Director Li, I think even if you are not a director, you are at least a top 500 executive in the world."
"I don't think you should be on the set, Lao Guo. You have a mixed physique and are more suitable. You are proficient in everything, and you can be the mayor in less than ten years!"
Li Qian said angrily, picked up the walkie-talkie and told Qi Yukun to continue.
During the fourth filming, Li Guangjie didn't know what to do to satisfy Li Qian. This time he just sat there, staring at the sea in front of him in a daze.
The little boy walked past him and then passed him, turning a blind eye and keeping looking at the sea.
However.
"Okay, passed!"
This time I passed it directly.
I tried my best to act, but nothing worked. I just sat there in a daze, but it was easy.
In the next two scenes, Li Guangjie acted casually.
This led to a very strange state, with pressure from Li Qian on one side and a very relaxed state on the other, but it had an unexpected effect.
Two consecutive shots were taken in one go.
Li Guangjie was almost speechless. He really couldn't figure out what Director Li was thinking, so he simply didn't think about it so much and just let him act how he wanted.
Seeing Li Guangjie in this state, Li Qian was extremely satisfied. This is how the male protagonist in the movie faces pressure from work, family, and fellow villagers. Even if he wants to do something, he can only compromise reluctantly. The state is already very suitable.
.
"Okay, get ready for the next shot!"
"Brother Jie, your character has just experienced several false appearances of sharks and false alarms. It's time to relax your guard."
"Suddenly a shark jumped out and bit the little boy. Even if you had seen a victim killed by a shark in the morning and knew that there were sharks on the beach, but when you are most relaxed, such a sudden attack would be too much for you.
It was very unexpected and there was no preparation for it.”
"However, you know the seriousness of the matter better than anyone. After a brief period of confusion, you cannot act in the same panic as others, because you are already prepared for the shark to attack people, but the previous illusion deceived you."
It was rare for Li Qian to tell a lot of drama this time, and he also called him Brother Jie, which gave Li Guangjie a headache.
Now he even hopes that Li Qian will just keep calling him by name when filming. He will get used to it and he will be a few years younger than him.
One moment he calls him Brother Jie, and the next he calls him by his first name without being polite at all. It is difficult for Li Guangjie to adapt.
But this time Li Qian didn't deliberately protect himself. Now that he's in a good state and his attitude towards himself has changed, maybe he doesn't even know it, so he doesn't have to do anything vain.
In the monitor, the camera was pointed directly at Li Guangjie's eyes. After seeing the shark attack the little boy, his pupils shrank and gradually became larger.
The change in his eyes lasted only a little over a second, but this gradual change was visible to the naked eye, as if he was watching his eyes widen bit by bit, with disbelief and horror.
But then he immediately stood up and rushed to the beach while shouting "Shark!"
But this character was afraid of water, so he could only wander anxiously on the beach just below his feet, shouting "Come up, come up."
"Okay, pass!"
"Cease work and eat, go indoors!"
It's getting late and the weather is changing.
And while Li Guangjie is in his prime, he will film some indoor scenes.
Li Guangjie couldn't believe that a long shot had been played over and over again. When Li Qian called out to eat, he was still in a daze.
This temper is really weird!
At this time, Guo Fan came over.
"Brother Jie, let's go eat."
Li Guangjie nodded, "Okay, Director Guo, let's come together."
Walking side by side, Guo Fan smiled and said, "Do you think Director Li's temper is a bit strange?"
"It's a bit."
Li Guangjie hesitated for a moment and then told the truth. Moreover, this did not count as speaking behind the director's back. His temper was quite strange.
Guo Fan said mischievously, "Yes, I think so too, and let me tell you, there was an actor in the last film who has not graduated from high school. He likes to eat sweet tofu puffs, so Director Li had to take a bowl of sweetened tofu.
I bought tofu with spicy sauce and asked him if the spicy tofu is delicious. Do you think he dares to say it’s not delicious?”
