Huayu is free to do as you like

After the director left, Bai Lily took Gu Wei around the studio of the "Monster Hunt" crew.

Get to know the venue.

Every time he goes to a place, he will be introduced to what plot scene is in the film and what is the function of the layout there.

Everything in the studio was an eye-opener for Gu Wei.

The studio where the crew is located is very large and divided into several small modules, which represent different scenes in the movie.

But everyone has one thing in common, that is the large green cloth.

Whether it's a quiet mountain village or a bustling ancient town, the real props and scenery are very limited, and when you look up, it's green.

"Surprise, I felt the same way as you when I first came here to shoot.

It turns out that when filming other scenes, there will occasionally be scenes where green cloth is used in some shots, which is normal.

But our scene is basically all green cloth, and there are only a handful of real shots. "

Bai Lily saw Gu Wei's surprise and told him.

"It's really surprising, very novel!"

Gu Wei looked at the scene in the studio and said.

"These sets are nothing. You will know when you actually film the movie tomorrow. The real difficulty of our movie is that there is no physical performance.

In the past, when we were filming, we all had opponents. Whether they were crying or laughing, you could react based on the other person's performance. However, our scenes often rely on your imagination.

It's quite a headache to perform. "

Bai Baihe led Gu Wei and explained to him as he walked.

When he talked about the performance, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he thought of something bad.

"This is your second time shooting, so you must be familiar with it, right?"

"Hey~ To be honest, if I don't have to, I really don't want to act again. The previous filming experience was really not very good. I hope this filming can go more smoothly."

Bai Lily sighed and said.

Then she said happily:

"Fortunately, I didn't have to shoot it all over again. I just needed to reshoot the scenes where we were in the same frame. Some of the original shots can still be retained."

"Sister Baihe, I have to ask you to take care of me when the filming starts tomorrow."

Gu Wei said with a smile.

"No problem, don't worry. If you have any problems on the crew, whether it's shooting or other issues, you can come to me and I'll definitely help you solve them.

Besides, the director told me to take care of you~"

Bai Baihe grinned and said very cheerfully, and gently patted Gu Wei's shoulder, as if he wanted to help me with something.

The two of them walked around the scene for a while. During this period, they met some crew members who were not busy. Bai Baihe would stop and introduce them to Gu Wei.

She is filming this movie for the second time now. The crew and crew have all known each other a year ago and they are all acquaintances.

After joining the cast of "Monster Hunt", Gu Wei felt different from his previous filming. Before filming, because he was the male lead, he always joined the set as soon as the crew started shooting, and went through the pre-shooting publicity and opening ceremony. , then join the group and start shooting slowly from the first shot.

He was fully involved in the whole process, and it felt like he was growing up with the crew.

Although he is also the male lead in "Monster Hunt" this time, it feels like he is here to make a guest appearance.

Although the script he received was very complete and the story line was clearly told from beginning to end, his own filming script was a bit scattered, and many scenes were not connected to the plot.

Gu Wei could also understand. After all, he was asked to do reshoots. Naturally, the crew just had to take the shots that needed reshoots. The original ones were still usable.

It is also because of this that their shooting time was only a short month.

In the evening, producer Jiang Zhiqiang arranged for Gu Wei to have a meal, which was considered as a welcome for him who had just joined the team.

Also at the table were director Xu Chengyi, screenwriter Yuan Jinlin and heroine Bai Baihe.

At the dinner table, Jiang Zhiqiang was as enthusiastic as ever and warmly welcomed Gu Wei's arrival.

Although he is a real big shot in the entertainment industry, he doesn't have any airs. Instead, he keeps talking up Gu Wei, saying that his joining will definitely make the movie "Monster Hunt" achieve higher results.

Of course, Gu Wei was always humble and said that he would shoot well and not let Mr. Jiang and Director Xu down.

All in all, the guests and hosts enjoyed the meal, which successfully eliminated Gu Wei's feeling of strangeness as he had just joined the group.

Early the next morning, Gu Wei came to the crew and started his first day of filming.

Changing into the costume of the male protagonist "Song Tianyin" in the movie, he is wearing a tattered Baina robe, which looks very shabby, with patchwork, fraying, holes, fragmentary strips of cloth, etc. all over it.

It seems that most of the clothes in "Monster Hunt" are of this style, and what Bai Lily wears is similar, but it looks cleaner and neater than Gu Wei's.

In the dressing room, the stylist was applying makeup to Gu Wei.

"Teacher Gu, your skin is so good. Whether it is the shape of your face or the proportions of your facial features, it is the best among male celebrities I have ever seen.

Unfortunately, according to the director's request, I can only make you a little rustic.

Your skin is too white and can only be darkened overall. "

Gu Wei smiled after hearing this.

"It doesn't matter, just follow the requirements. It's all for filming, I don't care."

"What a pity."

The stylist said regretfully while applying it on Gu Wei's face.

After a while, the makeup was finished.

Gu Wei's appearance in the play is all completed.

He looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was tied into an ancient men's bun. From his face to his neck, his skin was two shades darker than his normal skin.

Wearing a gray-brown Baina robe and grinning, he is one part rustic, two parts honest and seven points handsome.

There is no way, Gu Wei's foundation is here, even the dress of this poor country boy cannot reduce his appearance.

"Teacher Gu, the superiority of the facial features on your face is really great, I can only do this."

The stylist looked at Gu Wei who had put on makeup and said.

She mentally compared the Gu Wei in front of her with Ke Zhendong, who had the same make-up before her, and felt that the gap between the two was not that big.

After leaving the dressing room door, I met Bai Lily who was also styling herself.

Compared to Gu Wei, she was a bit miserable. She also asked to be made darker, so Bai Lily's appearance was reduced a bit.

After all, there is a saying that "one white mask covers all ugliness". Bai Lily's facial features are not as three-dimensional as Gu Wei's. When her whole body turns dark, she feels like a country girl.

The two came to the shooting scene together.

Director Xu was also very satisfied with Gu Wei's appearance.

"Not bad, not bad, Gu Wei, you have to remember, try to show your honest side when filming later."

"I understand, director!"

Soon, the filming of Gu Wei's first scene started.

In the small house where the male protagonist "Song Tianyin" lives, he entertains two passers-by, a man and a woman, as well as the female protagonist "Huo Xiaolan".

What he didn't expect was that the couple turned out to be two monsters, and they brought their pregnant monster queen with them.

The demon-catching master "Huo Xiaolan" had a fierce fight with two demons. Gu Wei was forced into a corner by the demon queen and could not move. Then the demon queen sniffed for a while and sprayed saliva on her face.

The two monsters were kidnapped by the demon-catching master "Luo Gang" who came over. The house was in a mess, leaving only "Song Tianyin" who was cowering and "Huo Xiaolan" who was angry after his prey was taken away.

For this part of the plot, Gu Wei only had to film the conversation between him and Bai Baihe. He was not in the previous series of fighting scenes, so naturally the previous scenes would be used.

Gu Wei held up a wooden bench and moved closer to Bai Lily little by little.

He said carefully:

"I am the security guard here, and you just killed someone~"

"Who are you killing? They are all monsters!"

Bai Lily rubbed the shoulder that she had fallen down during the fight and said in an impatient tone.

"Demon?"

"Yes, a demon in human skin."

As he spoke, he squatted down, turned over the human skin that the monster had dropped, and then stood up and said in a strong tone.

"The most cunning thing in the world is the demon, who wears human skin, pretends to be human, and speaks human language!"

"Then how do I know if you are a human or a demon?"

Gu Wei boldly asked tentatively.

Bai Lily lowered her head slightly, rolled her eyes upward, stuck out her tongue, stretched her hands behind her head, and made an action as if a monster was about to peel off human skin to reveal its true form, which frightened Gu Wei so much that he backed away repeatedly.

"Hahahahahaha~"

Bai Lily, who had made a prank, sat down impatiently without explaining anything.

"Then I want to ask, did you win or lose just now?"

Gu Wei no longer had any doubts, but asked about the situation of the battle just now.

"I lost?

If I lost, you would have been eaten by them.

fool!

Cook! "

Bai Lily looked impatient.

"Ka! Very good, Lily is still performing stably!

Gu Wei's performance is also very good. He has already integrated into it in the first scene. If this one is passed, let's keep one. "

The director's voice came, and the surrounding staff began to pack up the props and restore the venue to its previous appearance.

"My acting skills are great. I just passed the first scene after joining the group. It's really amazing!"

Bai Lily praised Gu Wei.

"Fortunately, we are evenly matched. It seems that filming this film is not as difficult as you said."

"Haha~ Don't get too happy too early. You'll know when you film a scene with monsters."

Bai Baihe smiled and said.

The scene was re-filmed, and the performance of the two was still stable.

The next scene is Gu Wei's alone.

Among the several scenes, the first one was in a small shop. While the shemales were fighting outside, Gu Wei shrank into the corner, and the demon queen came up to him and sniffed him.

This shot was okay, the director gave him some instructions first.

Then Gu Wei started his performance alone in front of the camera. There was nothing in front of him. He wanted to imagine that there was a big monster in front of him, and then he acted like his body was stiff and his face was a little frightened, but he didn't dare to move at all. look.

Because this shot was short and relatively easy, I passed it after two takes.

The next thing is that he was dragged into the woods by the Demon Queen, and then Gu Wei, who was tied up, communicated with the Demon Queen for a while despite the language barrier. Finally, he was stuffed with an egg into his mouth, and his belly turned into the belly of a pregnant woman. .

Then the Demon Queen died and Gu Wei was left alone.

The entire scene and several shots needed to be completed by Gu Wei alone through the design of the script and his own imagination.

The demon queen and so on were added later.

This is a bit difficult, after all, everyone acts based on imagination and has no grasp at all.

Gu Wei already knew all the script requirements for this scene, and he only had a few lines. He communicated with the director, and then started to perform with confidence.

These scenes were all Gu Wei's one-man show, and Bai Lily didn't take a break. She took an apple and took a bite, standing next to the camera and watching the show while eating.

It's not that she wanted to see Gu Wei laugh, it was just that when Gu Wei came, she told him about the difficulties of filming, and now it was time for him to experience it.

It also let Gu Wei know that she was not exaggerating and that the difficulty was really difficult.

After the recorder made the call, the scene began.

The camera looked directly at Gu Wei, who was tied up and sitting next to a tree, facing the air opposite and saying fearfully: "What are you doing?"

Then he said with some confusion: "Can you speak human language?"

In the end, he seemed to have seen something scary, with a look of horror on his face.

His eyes looked left and right, as if an unknown tentacle followed his gaze and touched his face.

Then his face seemed to be pinched by something, his mouth opened wide, and then he seemed to swallow a huge thing.

"Ka! Great! Passed!"

Gu Wei stays in this state, let's protect him! "

The director's voice came. Because Gu Wei had made a mistake, he asked for a retake to save one shot.

At this time, Bai Lily, who was watching the show next to her, looked surprised and opened her mouth wide. She didn't notice that the apple in her mouth fell.

Gu Wei, who took another shot, was once again praised by the director.

After taking a break from the show, Bai Lily approached him.

"How did you do it?

In that scene just now, there was nothing in front of you. How did you perform so well?

Of course, I think it won’t be a problem if you perform well in the end based on your acting skills. The key is that it’s your first time acting in this role. How did you manage to perform so accurately right from the start?

During the filming last year, Ke Zhendong filmed the same scene more than ten times, but in the end the director reluctantly let it go.

I think the best shot he took was not as good as the first shot you just took. "

As soon as Gu Wei sat down, Bai Lily started asking questions.

"Well, I'm a student at the film school. This kind of non-physical performance was taught in school when I was in school.

Ke Zhendong only came from a puppet theater background in Wanwan, so it’s normal for me to perform better than him.”

Gu Wei reluctantly explained.

He couldn't tell Bai Baihe, because he had already watched the movie, so he could just act according to the original version. With a little bit of his own understanding, it wouldn't be difficult to play Jing Bairan better than the original version.

After all, he really doesn't scare anyone among the younger generation in terms of acting skills.

“Are all the current students in film schools so good at acting?

I also graduated from Chinese Opera. "

After listening to Gu Wei's words, Bai Baihe murmured.

While everyone was busy, the day's shooting mission gradually came to an end.

After finishing shooting the last scene today, Director Xu came to Gu Wei specifically.

"Yes, Gu Wei, you performed very well today.

It seems that asking you to come to the rescue was really the most correct decision that Mr. Jiang and I made.

If your performance can remain so stable from now on, our shooting tasks can be completed ahead of schedule. "

"Director Xu, you are so flattering. Director Xu gave me great guidance, and Sister Baihe also gave me a lot of help.

I will maintain my condition and help the crew complete the reshoots as soon as possible. "

Gu Wei said with a smile on his face and complimented Bai Lily. Since he joined the group for two days, Bai Lily had been warm and friendly to him. No matter what the reason was, he had to accept this favor.

There will be more in the evening
