entertainment first

"Stuck!" Shao Dengyi frowned tightly and shouted: "Chen Qiuzi, don't laugh all the time, show some emotion and come again!"

Yandang Mountain Scenic Area is in a forest. Standing here, you can see the entire Yandang Mountains. The endless mountain scenery and the blue sky are very magnificent.

This scene was filmed when Ling'er and Xiaoyao were on their way back to Nanzhao. The two were close to each other and their relationship became deeper and deeper. This scene, paired with a beautiful background, will present the audience with a very beautiful and innocent feeling.

However, during the filming, the atmosphere was not so good. The entire crew was crowded here, including the camera crew, set managers, etc. It can be said that it really ruined the scenery. But this is not the reason for poor performance. The first rule of being an actor

It’s about liberating your nature. If you don’t even have the guts to act in front of people, why not just go home and be an actor?

Jin Shuai and Chen Qiuzi were standing in the woods, acting out this sequence of shots, but before they could express either of them, they heard another "Cut!"

Everyone in the crew stopped. Shao Dengyi walked up angrily and yelled: "It's exactly the same as before. What I want is not a smile, but warmth, mutual support, love, and heartbeat! Do you understand?"

"Director, I..." Listening to Shao Dengyi's reprimand, Chen Qiuzi lowered her head deeply and felt even more anxious. She had tried very hard, but no matter how she performed, she could not pass this lens.

Shao Dengyi suppressed his dissatisfaction, turned around and walked back behind the camera impatiently, clapped his hands to everyone, and said, "Do it again!"

At this time, it has been more than a week since the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" started. All the actors are already in place, and they have their roles every day. The filming during this period was not very smooth, mainly because everyone was not familiar with each other and had no relationship with each other.

There is a tacit understanding, and the entire crew is still in the running-in period.

Bi Xia gained a lot of very valuable experience during this period. He learned many valuable things from photographer Wu Saihui, such as the mastery of the lens, when to go fast and when to go slow, and how to divide the shot design.

It was better and more reasonable. Based on the script he wrote, Bi Xia corrected many shot designs.

There is also a lot of directing experience that cannot be learned from reading books, such as how to position actors better, how to shoot beautiful scenes through lens design, lighting coordination, etc. There are also handling the sundries of the entire crew,

To maintain the operation of the crew, everything had to be arranged by him as the assistant director. He made rapid progress and understood the real difficulties of being a director.

Different from the filming of "Oldboy", although the filming of "Oldboy" was also shot with a film camera, in fact, "Oldboy" is just like its nature. It is a graduation work, and the participants are all teachers and students of the film school. There is a certain

The nature of voluntary help. Besides, "Old Boy" is excellent because of its storytelling. From a photography perspective, Bi Xia's shots are really not very good, and the pictures are not necessarily very textured. What's more, he is based on the predecessors.

superior.

Now the crew has dozens or hundreds of employees connected to the actors. He needs to be involved in almost everyone's work. The crew asked what shots will be shot tomorrow and they need to prepare them in advance; the lighting engineer said that the lighting must be matched in this way to better reflect the effect;

Even the manager had to ask him whether he should order some hot milk when it was cold...

These are all fine and within the normal range, but there are some things that are more annoying.

The set designer and the props artist quarreled. The set designer complained that the props artist had not completed the props, and the props artist said that the set designer's requirements were too excessive. The art director and the makeup artist quarreled, both insisting that only their own designs could fit the theme of "Xianxia".

Xia only had to constantly mediate, choose, and appease.

These messy things happen almost every day, which can make people exhausted. Bi Xia can now understand why almost every artist would say that the director is a "powder keg" and "bad-tempered" on the set, and is talked about by these bullshit every day.

No one can bear the trouble of things.

In fact, there is another assistant director who is not as relaxed as Bi Xia, because the investor representative will nag him every day about "the budget is not enough", which makes Bi Xia's head grow bigger. If it were him, he would not know

Will he get angry and scold the investment representative?

During the filming process, what Bi Xia learned the most was how Shao Dengyi guided the actors to perform. This is the core issue of whether a film can meet the director's requirements. Bi Xia studied very carefully. Shao Dengyi is a director who is very good at training actors.

.

Even if they are said to be powerful actors or movie kings and queens, there are times when they cannot meet the director's standards. What's more, there are several actors in "Sword and Fairy" who are not old but not old.

For example, Lin Nana often fails to grasp the essence of Anu. The character of Anu, who is enthusiastic, confused, a little silly, naive and cute, is either too restrained or too overt. The performance traces are very heavy. The most worry-free

It’s Wu Meizi again. She has analyzed the role of Yueru very thoroughly. She has the demeanor of a rich lady, the temperament of a heroine, and a savage and willful face. Basically, her scenes are all one-shot, and she can’t pass.

It was also because other people were involved that Shao Dengyi nodded frequently.

Chen Qiuzi is the one with the most problems among everyone. Her temperament is very suitable for the role of Ling'er, and she has a natural fit. However, she is still a newcomer after all, and her acting skills are still a bit green. There are big problems with her facial expressions. She often

It gives people a feeling of sameness. This scene showing Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao's affectionate relationship has made her NG nineteen times.

"Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!" Seeing Chen Qiuzi's performance getting worse, Shao Dengyi yelled three times angrily. His anger suddenly broke out. He waved his hands irritably and said, "Everyone should take a rest first."

Following his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The director's authority was at its strongest among the crew. Seeing the director getting angry, everyone left quietly and walked to the side to relax.

Chen Qiuzi walked to the edge of the woods, squatted down absentmindedly, frowned, hugged his knees with both hands, and sighed quietly.

"Qiuzi, what's wrong?" Bi Xia walked up to Chen Qiuzi and didn't mind being dirty. He sat down on the ground, took out a cigarette and lit one. Since joining the crew, his addiction to smoking has been aroused again. Now he

I can understand why most people who make movies smoke. Even if they don’t smoke, they all have their own habits. Because of high-intensity work, frequent overtime work day and night, and huge pressure, everyone needs a way to relieve stress.

Chen Qiuzi glanced at Bi Xia and apologized: "Bi Xia, I'm sorry, I..." She gritted her teeth, shook her head in frustration, and said, "Bi Xia, I don't know what to do."

Chen Qiuzi is very grateful to Bi Xia. She is a complete newcomer. She has only played the role of Liang Xiaomei. She only appeared in that episode, which lasted only a few dozen minutes. When she entered the crew, she heard that it was Bi Xia.

I strongly recommend her to join the crew, and she was the heroine as soon as she entered. It was like pie-in-the-sky luck.

So after she came in, she couldn't help but worry about gains and losses. She wanted to perform well, but the more she performed poorly, the worse she performed, the more anxious she became, and then she kept NGing. She was the one who NGed the most times in the entire crew.

She was out of breath as she kept refreshing her NG count.
