The third white chapter ninety-two the pressure of money
"Every group is in place!"
"The camera crew is ready!"
"The lighting team is ready!"
"..."
The actors' makeup and costumes have been prepared and filming has officially started!
"When shooting, the No. 1 camera is facing directly in front of us. Remember to take a panoramic view and record our expressions and tone of voice well."
"The second shot cuts from the side, first starting when our main characters are walking, then slowly moving up, recording our faces, and then slowly pulling the camera to capture the extras next to us.
Go in and highlight the overall atmosphere.”
Chen Mubai directed that the first scene was of a college graduation. Four boys were discussing graduation-related matters. They all walked to the campus together. The extras around them were all classmates, playing the roles of a group of college students.
He explained the shooting positions in advance. He himself needed to star, so he could not direct during the shooting and had to complete the shooting content in advance.
Assistant directors Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan can both direct, so Chen Mubai only needs a simple negotiation and they know how to shoot.
As for the cameramen, Chen Mubai said, they know how to do it. They are all senior staff, not novices. They have worked together before and they all know how to shoot.
"Everyone should think that they are fresh graduates, and they must have a good expression on their faces. Don't be expressionless!"
"We are about to graduate, and we have lofty ideals for the future. Every newly graduated student has high aspirations and must be full of energy. Don't be dejected!"
At this time, everyone has ambitions to show off their talents, so they will be very strong psychologically, and their expressions will naturally be relaxed and comfortable, because they have not suffered setbacks yet.
There must be a big gap between the life in their imagination and the reality. They have just left school and have not yet experienced the severe beatings from society, so they must behave well. If they are too old, they will not be like students.
"I know." Qian Duoduo said.
"ok!"
After all, Yu Fei is a professional. After Chen Mubai finished speaking, he immediately understood that although he was not that young, he had acting skills. If Chen Mubai knew how to act, he would know how to act.
There is another role played by a star, and his acting skills are not bad, but he is not as famous as Yu Fei, and he is a supporting actor all year round.
"First scene, first shot, action!"
The recorder started to record, and Chen Mubai and the others had already taken their positions in advance, waiting for the camera to start.
After the scene notes were recorded, the camera began to record. First camera No. 2 recorded, and then camera No. 1 recorded in front of them. The camera crew was sitting on the rail car, and the staff slowly pulled the car backwards and moved back to shoot.
The opening scene was recorded at a university. They communicated with the school in advance and started filming.
The extras are all real college students. They are also very interested in filming and volunteered to be extras just to experience the environment.
Of course, there are also some who are fans of people like Chen Mubai, and they also starred in it. Before filming, Chen Mubai and others also signed autographs for these college students, satisfying their star-chasing requirements.
Chen Mubai plays Lu Tao, Qian Duoduo plays Xiang Nan, and Yu Fei plays Hua Zi.
There is another actor who specializes in supporting roles called Xia Fan. He is a newly signed star under Mubai Entertainment. His complexion is a bit dark, but he is very powerful and is a martial arts star.
I have been filming outside for a long time, and I have been exposed to wind and rain, but I have always been a supporting actor, so I was valued by Chen Mubai and signed me.
He himself didn't expect to be so successful when he came for the interview, and he was very happy to have a movie to act in just after signing the contract.
This drama is not a fighting drama that he is good at, but a literary drama. Chen Mubai hopes that he can improve his acting skills in literary drama, so he gave him this role and wanted to polish him.
There are very few real martial arts stars, because they need to practice martial arts since childhood, but there are many martial arts substitutes. Chen Mubai valued his ability, considering that there may be martial arts dramas in the future that need actors, plus Xia Fan's impression
Very good, he also has acting skills, and his foundation is not bad in all aspects. Chen Mubai is willing to give him a chance.
The four of them, Lu Tao and others, were in the same dormitory and were about to graduate. They were walking on the road chatting.
The character Gao Qiang doesn't have as many roles as the other three, and his presence is weaker.
The four of them were dressed in a very rustic style. The boys did not like to dress up as much as the girls. They all wore simple T-shirts and trousers, or jeans. All four of them were carrying schoolbags.
Carrying schoolbags is also different, some are carried on both shoulders, and some are carried on one shoulder. This is a personality issue.
And although the four people are all wearing T-shirts, the colors are different, symbolizing the colorful and gorgeous life of college students in the future after graduation. This is the language of the camera.
It may be inconspicuous, but it has representative meaning.
This was Chen Mubai's preparation before filming. Although he had a complete picture of the scene in his mind, he had rich knowledge of actors. As he transformed into a director, he would naturally have some of his own styles and conjectures, and he would apply them.
.
"You said, if they really don't give me a degree..."
In the picture on the monitor, only a few legs appeared. No one appeared yet, but someone was already talking.
Then the camera turned to the faces, capturing the facial expressions of several people from the side.
The speaker was Gao Qiang, who was also a member of their dormitory. He was worried about his degree because of cheating in the exam, so his tone was a little low, and his expression was also very lost.
There is a big difference in the expression of Lu Tao on the side. Lu Tao looks full of energy. He is a young man with excellent academic performance and a bright future. Considering the situation faced by Gao Qiang, it can be said that he has two different lives!
Chen Mubai hadn't spoken yet, but just by showing up, and with that young but very proud look on his face, his whole temperament changed instantly, turning into a young man who looked like he had just graduated from college and was ready to show off his skills.
His high-spiritedness is undoubtedly evident!
"The acting was good, but Qian Duoduo's expression was a bit dull and he didn't blend in."
"It's just the beginning. I think it would be better if we filmed it twice more. After all, the comedy web drama he acted in before is still a bit different from the way he performs in orthodox TV dramas."
"sharp!"
"I didn't expect that Director Chen, who has never acted before, has such strong acting skills!"
"Yes, he is not very old himself. When he dresses up, he already looks like a student. Now his temperament has changed and his acting skills are very good."
Several veteran actors haven't appeared yet, so they don't have a role in this scene, but they are watching from the sidelines.
Everyone saw that when the filming started, several people were chatting quietly about their acting skills.
What surprised them was Chen Mubai's acting. After being contrasted by the people next to him, it was obviously more natural and a higher level!
"I think he is more powerful than Yu Fei!"
Tang Guoqiang said from the side.
"In terms of demeanor, it's more natural. It's hard to say now. We still have to look at the next scenes. After all, Yu Fei is older and Chen Mubai is younger, so he plays the role of a student more closely."
Another veteran actor said, while also affirming Chen Mubai's acting skills.
After all, Yu Fei is a professional actor and has acted in many movies, so his acting skills are naturally not bad.
Where is Chen Mubai?
He started out as a singer, crossed over to become a screenwriter, a director, and now an actor. As a result, it was his first time acting, and his acting skills instantly hit the stage. This state is so amazing!
It has to be said that some people have amazing talents and are better than others in everything they do. This is their innate talent, and you cannot envy them!
Chen Mubai's move actually surprised many people present. Yu Fei looked at Xia Fan from the side as he spoke. He glanced at Chen Mubai with a look of surprise in his heart.
At first, everyone thought that Chen Mubai was a bit of a show-off, and even though he was said to be in a star drama, everyone was skeptical.
Investment and actors are available in various aspects, but acting is indeed a big issue. The quality of acting determines the quality of the drama.
However, because Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao have a lot of traffic, if they are filmed, even if they are not on the stars, there will still be a lot of popularity through online channels, and the ratings will still be there anyway.
For them, what they pursue is ratings, and they just need to play their roles well. Even if the show fails and their performance is not bad, no one will say anything. Instead, they may be praised for their outstanding performance.
Now it seems that Chen Mubai came prepared!
Everyone's expectations for the drama have increased invisibly, and they even feel that there is no chance of becoming a star!
No matter what everyone thinks, the filming of the scene continues.
Xiang Nan, played by Qian Duoduo, spoke up: "No, it's just cheating once?"
"School won't really ruin your life!"
"Click!"
The assistant director didn't shout to stop, but Chen Mubai shouted to him.
"What's wrong!?"
He was stopped right at the beginning, and everyone looked at Chen Mubai in surprise.
"Let's try it again later. Qian Duoduo, the tone of your line is wrong. Don't be so straightforward. You have to say it with the character of the character in mind."
"Your character is a bit dazed, especially since he hasn't left school yet. His tone will have a direct affirmation, and you need to have that kind of change in the ending to comfort Gao Qiang."
Chen Mubai is the screenwriter, so he naturally understands the personality structure of each character, so everyone on the scene understands Chen Mubai's words.
"interesting."
"Yeah, I didn't expect Director Chen to have such high requirements for television."
In fact, Qian Duoduo's tone was a bit raw, even veteran drama stars like them could tell.
It's just that TV dramas are mainly about telling stories, so it's okay to have some flaws. This shot is passable, but I didn't expect that Chen Mubai's requirements are quite high, and it seems to be a bit closer to the movie shots.
Chen Mubai himself knows this, but his future direction is to develop into movies. He set high standards for Qian Duoduo from the beginning, so that his level can improve quickly.
If the standards of TV dramas are lowered and he is allowed to pass, then he has no idea whether his performance is good or not, and he doesn't know what the problem is. How can he improve?
Even if the whole drama is actually filmed and the acting skills have improved, the room for improvement will be very small, and it will not be as much as it would have been if the standards were high from the beginning.
"okay, I get it."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said a little embarrassedly: "Give me two minutes and I'll find out what I feel."
"Okay, tell us when you're done."
Chen Mubai said: "Everyone, wait a moment."
The entire crew stopped, waiting for Qian Duoduo to find his status.
Qian Duoduo was actually embarrassed because the entire crew was waiting for him, which greatly increased his pressure.
Chen Mubai was deliberately putting pressure on him to bring out his potential.
When Xia Fan saw that Qian Duoduo's performance was stopped, he took advantage of this time to hurriedly gather his emotions and find out Gao Qiang's emotions and mental state at that time.
