Chapter eight hundred and forty fourth the happiness of the poor
"Director Chen, would you like to take a look at the scene layout here?" The assistant director walked over quickly and talked quietly with Chen Mubai.
The scene to be shot for the following scene was arranged according to Chen Mubai's requirements. The props team has completed the layout and is waiting for Chen Mubai's acceptance. If there is anything that is not satisfactory, it needs to be modified.
"Well, I'll go take a look." Chen Mubai nodded.
"Cage, follow your uncle and aunt, let them help you dress up, and change your clothes later. I have to do other things now, so you have to be obedient~"
Chen Mubai did not leave directly, but before leaving, he communicated with the child Cage in a gentle voice.
"I will be obedient, uncle!" Cage nodded his little head, with a happy smile on his lips.
He has filmed many commercials, but this was his first time on the set. Seeing so many people made him a little scared. After all, he was still a child.
But soon, a young and handsome older brother came to talk to him and play with him, which made him relax a lot and he is no longer as nervous as when he first arrived.
The two got close to each other as they got along. Cage learned during the chat that he was Chen Mubai, the director, the most powerful person in the crew, and his "father"!
"Thank you, Director Chen, for taking care of Cage." Cage's mother came over and talked to Chen Mubai with a smile.
With Chen Mubai’s current fame, who doesn’t know him?
When she learned that her son Cage was selected by Mubai Entertainment to star in Chen Mubai's new work, she was extremely happy.
All this time, her son has only been involved in the advertising industry, occasionally accepting endorsements in small advertisements or working as a model for children's clothing, but has never been able to appear in film and television works.
And this time, being selected for Chen Mubai's work, it can be predicted that it will definitely increase Cage's popularity a lot, and it is not impossible for him to even enter the film and television industry!
Chen Mubai himself is not a small director. His reputation is very big even in the United States. He is a well-known director. He can star in his works and play his son. It is said that he has a lot of roles. For Cage, he is definitely
An opportunity to reach the sky in one step!
"It's okay. Just stay with him. We'll start shooting soon." Chen Mubai said with a smile.
"I will. If you have any questions, just tell me and I will tell him and let him try his best to complete it according to your requirements."
"You just need to let him relax, don't put pressure on him, don't make him tense up, the natural state of mind is the most important."
"Yeah!" Cage's mother nodded.
Chen Mubai followed the assistant director to check the layout of the scene.
Children like Cage are usually accompanied by their parents when they come to the set, because various accidents can happen during the filming process. Children are not like adults and sometimes are not easy to control.
Parents are around to take better care of them, and tell their children what to do through the instructions given by the director. In the final analysis, they are a bridge of communication between the children and the director, and they can also take better care of them.
For children, the effect of communicating with a stranger is definitely not as good as communicating with their parents. Having their parents by their side will also make them feel more at ease.
Cage's life can be considered a bit of a twist. He is of mixed-race Chinese descent, his father is American and his mother is Chinese.
However, his father died in an accident, and he is now a single-parent family, with his mother raising him alone.
Fortunately, during his lifetime, he had always liked to post photos and share his beautiful life on social platforms. Because of his cute appearance, Cage gradually accumulated some fans, and then some advertisements came to his door, allowing them to make money.
It is also because of this that Cage's mother has been taking him with him to ensure his daily living expenses.
Originally, Cage's mother was still working to support him, but as Cage's fame grew and he could earn more money, she quit her original job and focused on raising him. She could not only focus on training Cage, but also
Take better care of him.
Originally, when Mubai Entertainment recruited mixed-race child actors, she signed up with the mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, she finally passed the screening, which can be regarded as great luck!
Chen Mubai had already obtained Cage's information and knew his life background, so he was so friendly to him when they first came to the crew.
The main reason is that the child's life experience is a bit pitiful, and the two of them originally played a father and son in this drama, so getting to know him well before filming can also deepen the close relationship between them.
Sometimes, the two of them can have a better understanding.
Children are different from adults. Their acting skills are actually more difficult to control. If you have a good relationship with them and can inadvertently act according to their nature during filming, then it is very important to establish a good relationship with them in advance.
If the interpretation is the same before and after the camera, there will be no difficulty in interpreting the father-son relationship.
Originally, Cage was very cute, and Chen Mubai really liked children, so his kindness and gentleness towards Cage was not an affectation, but he truly loved him from the bottom of his heart, so he would play with him and talk to him.
After Chen Mubai left, Cage's mother sat next to Cage, stroked Cage's head and whispered softly: "Cage, don't be nervous, just do what Uncle Chen said just now."
"I know, I will listen to Uncle Chen!" Cage said with a sweet voice: "Uncle Chen is very gentle, not irritable at all, and he is also very kind to me. I like him very much~"
Cage has shot many commercials, and some people have really irritable tempers, even more fierce than him. That's why he was nervous when he saw so many people on the crew for the first time, for fear of being scolded if he didn't do well.
"Yes, so we can't let him down, right?"
"right!"
...
"action!"
All preparations are in place, Chen Mubai and Cage have also changed into costumes, the rest of the staff are in place, and the extras have all taken their positions in advance.
“I’ll make a list instead!”
"what are you saying?"
"Do you want a birthday present?"
"right!"
A childish voice sounded first, followed by a generous middle-aged voice.
Obviously, these are two people talking.
The camera recording did not record the faces of the two people at the beginning. Instead, it started shooting from the ground, and then slowly moved from the feet and legs to the faces.
Only at this moment can we clearly see the two people talking.
Chen Mubai was wearing an old suit, carrying a work bag on his shoulder, a box in his hand, and holding a child in his other hand.
The child looks extremely cute. He is a mixed-race child with black hair, which looks like a small pot lid covering his head. It is black and shiny.
He was wearing the same shabby trousers and a jacket, and was carrying a small schoolbag.
The clothes of both of them can be seen to be old, but they are very clean.
It can be seen from their clothes that they are not rich and can be regarded as poor class.
However, although they had no money, the two of them were talking and laughing, and it was obvious that they were very happy.
This is the happiness of common people, simple and ordinary, no need for grandeur or extravagance.
"Click!"
This section is about walking from the street across the road to the kindergarten.
"Cage, when you are talking to me, don't keep looking at me, and don't look at the scenery on both sides of the road. Just keep looking ahead, and then after crossing the road, start to let go of my hand and jog.
Move over."
"You have to treat me as your father. You are familiar with me, so you won't keep staring at me when walking. Then I am sending you to kindergarten. You are used to it, so after crossing the road, you
I also knew about this and rushed over immediately."
The first shoot was not ideal, so Chen Mubai was teaching Cage how to do it.
After all, it was Cage's first time making a movie, so he was still very nervous.
Although he had done some ideological work before and Chen Mubai had spent some time with him in advance so that he would not seem too strange, he was still a little nervous when he actually started shooting.
This can be seen from his expression and the way he looks around. He has been staring at Chen Mubai's face, and he can't do it so naturally.
"Yes, I remember." Cage replied a little disappointed.
"I still haven't done it well..."
He felt that he still let Chen Mubai down.
Chen Mubai saw Cage's look and knew that he was blaming himself. He squatted down and touched Cage's head and said with a smile: "No, this is your first time. You did a great job. Very few people can do it in one go."
Passed."
Hearing Chen Mubai's encouragement, Cage raised his little head and asked curiously: "Really?"
"Really." Chen Mubai continued to encourage and smile.
"Come on, let's practice it a few times aside. Once you're familiar with it, we'll start shooting again."
Chen Mubai took Cage aside and led him to slowly adapt.
The main reason is that Cage has emotional problems with Chen Mubai. He certainly cannot immediately regard Chen Mubai as his father, so he will not have that father-son feeling.
However, Chen Mubai believes that as he spends more time with Cage, he will be able to give Cage a sense of belonging. Once he has a sense of belonging, the scenes will be much easier to shoot.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, so shooting at the beginning will be more difficult, as long as you get through the beginning it will be fine.
Chen Mubai was practicing with Cage over and over again, appearing very patient.
When Cage and Chen Mubai were able to communicate happily, they continued to work on filming.
There are a lot of scenes in this section of the street, and I need to be stationed here for the past few days to shoot all the scenes here.
After several days of shooting, Cage became more and more proficient. Although he sometimes forgot his words and would inadvertently look to the camera for help, the frequency of this problem became less and less, and his mistakes also decreased.
However, his relationship with Chen Mubai became more and more harmonious, and he regarded Chen Mubai as an elder who doted on him very much. The relationship between the two became closer and closer, which also made their relationship better. The emotions revealed in the filming
More real.
Although it is not a true father-son relationship, the child's dependence on adults can be seen. The dependence feels like the child's relationship with his father in the camera.
This is also a way to shape and replace alternative feelings.
Children have a natural sense of dependence on their relatives, which is actually a kind of fetters of family affection. If it were shown in a movie, it would be the so-called "father's love".
The relationship between father and son, because the child is too young, is more dependent on the child. The father's love is performed by Chen Mubai. If it is left to him, it will be much easier to handle, at least it is much easier than a child.
