Chapter 137 "Charlotte's Annoyance" filming is in progress (I wish everyone a happy Christmas Eve)!

On November 2003, 11, the crew of "Charlotte Trouble" officially started filming in Taiyanggou Scenic Area, Liao Province.

At two o'clock in the afternoon that day, due to the excessive production budget, the crew of "Charlotte Annoyance" first got together to have a big meal, and then started to turn on the machine and worship God to read the script.

In any film or TV series that is rigorously produced and shot with great care, it is necessary for everyone to gather together and read the script several times before shooting.

After all, although the lines in the movie and TV series scripts that each actor gets are only a few sentences to a few pages, behind the main plot of the movie and TV series that these script lines have not touched, the real world view and world structure it has. It's quite huge, and it's definitely not just the part that's shown on the TV screen or the big screen in a movie theater.

It is really difficult to summarize the hundreds of thousands of words in the script behind a movie that only lasts one and a half hours, two hours, or even three or four hours on the big screen. Tell the whole story clearly.

At most, at most, that is, to present some of the better and more exciting core story content.

In addition to these feature films that were successfully screened in cinemas, a large part of the plot content that was hidden due to the limited length of the film or the difficulty of shooting was directly directed at the shooting stage or the final editing stage. The editor discarded it.

At this point, TV dramas may not be so rigorous and exaggerated, but the worldview hidden behind the feature film of any qualified movie must not be just the part presented on the screen.

Among other things, since Cao Qing has been in the directing industry for six years, he has seen too many movie scripts.

Some of these movie scripts have good content, and some have bad content, but no matter how the specific content is written, they all have one thing in common, that is, the storyline and the number of pages of the script are quite complicated and thick.

The various side plots, various situational derivation, and various emotional entanglements in some of these scripts are really delicate to the extreme. There are often several endings in one script, and some of these endings are even contradictory.

The reason why several contradictory endings and contradictory emotional lines appear in a script at the same time is, in the final analysis, due to the fundamental difference between the two writers, the screenwriter and the author.

After all, the screenwriter writes the script for the director to read, so he must provide the director with enough revision ideas and different endings to cater to the changing shooting styles of different directors.

However, the ultimate audience of the novel written by the author is the readers. What the readers need is a clear ending and a clear emotional line, and they don't need so many alternative ideas and plots at all.

It is precisely because of such a problem that the final audience is different that the script written by an editor, even if its final film only has 90-120 minutes to appear on the screen, its entire script will still be thick and complicated to the point of one day. It’s a terrible situation, even for some 90-minute movies, the total number of words in the script can add up to 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands of words.

This is why some movies may have less than 120 minutes of content when they are released in theaters, but in the director's cut version released after the movie is released, his entire content can often last three to four hours, or even hundreds of minutes. Thousands of minutes.

The reason for all this is that the final editing work of each film requires a lot of material. The more material there is, the greater the possibility of creation is, and the more flexible the style of the film will be. The editor and director let go of their hands and feet to make combinations, and finally put them together to an optimal effect.

However, the more materials, the higher the cost of the film. Therefore, except for those films with large investment, which can wantonly waste film to accumulate materials, most of the small-cost films can only save film as much as possible. Come to shoot, strictly control the number of sub-shots, so as to avoid the excessive cost of the final film, which will make it difficult to finish the film and release, and finally die without a problem.

But back to the topic, the reason why Cao Qing has all the actors get together to read the script before the shooting of each film is because he not only wants these actors to memorize the script by heart, but also to pass the The script study before the shooting of the film will increase the actors' sense of devotion to the film, and try to make the actors collide with each other as much as possible, in order to make the film more perfect.

Soon, as the time went to three o'clock in the afternoon, the plot seminar on the movie "Charlotte Annoyance" was finally completed after an hour of intense discussions, and soon followed by "Summer" The official shooting part of the movie Lott Annoyance.

Less than 10 minutes after the plot seminar ended, that is, at [-]:[-] p.m., all the crew members of "Charlotte Annoyance" were ready on a dilapidated high school campus near the Sun Valley Scenic Area.

The reason why all preparations can be completed in less than 10 minutes is entirely due to the professionalism of the crew of "Charlotte Annoyance". Among them, both the support staff and the prop masters have already followed Cao Qing for several film crews.

After several years of training, the logistics staff of Tengda Film and Entertainment Company are quite familiar with Cao Qing.

Whether it's some of his work habits or the overall style of movies he likes when shooting, they have a deep understanding, which is why they were able to make "Charlotte Annoyance" in just 10 minutes. The shooting scene of the first act of the film has been set up, and all kinds of books and school uniforms are ready.

And as Charlotte troubled these logistics staff to complete the venue layout, a group of actors in high school uniforms and 97-style hairstyles all appeared on the stage.

Among their actors are a large group of men and women, including Shen Teng and Jun Zhixian. The men either have pot heads or separate heads, and the women have neat bangs except for a few student bobs. Among them is a male and female ensemble Even the extremely eye-catching non-mainstream styles of the 90s can be said to have sacrificed a lot in terms of image.

With a lot of eye-catching looks, the first filming of the crew of "Charlotte Annoyance" officially started.

The scene to be filmed for this scene is when Charlotte just woke up from a dream.

Soon, Shen Teng started his own performance under the orange light created by the lighting master and prop master on the set.

With a dazed expression, he just looked at everything in the classroom around him in such a daze, and kept hypnotizing himself into Charlotte's deep mood at the moment. He walked slowly in the classroom, looking at the classroom with a nostalgic expression. The desks in the classroom are filled with slam dunk labels, and the faces of the students in the class have returned to their teenage years.

Even when he walked in front of Ma Dongmei (Ma Li), who would be his wife in the future, he couldn't help pinching her face with his hands.

Charlotte's move directly aroused the anger of his class teacher, Lao Wang, who was giving a lecture. Lao Wang, the class teacher, put on his black socks and stepped on the top of his sexy big slippers, and he was so angry that he held a fan. He ran up to Charlotte and asked Charlotte to start reading out loud the love letter he had written before.

In this shooting scene, Wei Xiang, who is in charge of playing Charlotte’s head teacher Lao Wang, has all kinds of subtle expressions and movements, which are really funny. Even Cao Qing, who watched the shooting scene behind the monitor, almost couldn’t help laughing several times. get up.

In this scene, Shen Teng, who was in charge of filming the opposite scene with Wei Xiang, was even worse. For such a simple scene, he had to ng four or five times in a row before finally finishing the filming. The reason was that he was always in front of each other. When facing Wei Xiang, he couldn't help laughing.

However, although this scene was ng several times in a row, after Shen Teng gradually developed a little resistance to Wei Xiang, this not-so-difficult scene was quickly completed.

Slowly, with the increasingly skilled cooperation of Shen Teng and Wei Xiang, Shen Teng filmed the scene where he was about to forcefully kiss Qiu Ya (Jun Ji Hyun).

On the set, the heads of Shen Teng and Jun Zhixian approached slowly, and finally passed by.

Although in the original movie "Charlotte Annoyance", the scene of Charlotte kissing Qiuya, the school girl, must be a real shot, but in Cao Qing's version of "Charlotte Annoyance", this scene is because of Cao Qing and The special relationship between Jun Ji-hyun was replaced by Cao Qing without even thinking about it.

With the completion of this scene, the first day of filming for "Charlotte Annoyance" is finally over. Cao Qing, behind the camera monitor, looked at Shen Teng, who looked a little tired, and smiled from the monitor. Walked out from behind and patted him on the shoulder:
"How is it? Shen Teng. Are you a little nervous and overwhelmed when you take the leading role in a movie for the first time?"

"Hahahaha, it doesn't matter. You get used to filming. You can see that Wei Xiang was a rookie actor before, but how well he performed in my last movie "Detective Chinatown" .”

"So, you have to calm down. After filming this movie, I still have a lot of scenes to think about you. If you perform well in my movie, then you will be busy this year. gone."

With a little encouragement and encouragement, after Cao Qing chatted with Shen Teng for a while, because it was late and Quan Zhixian was waiting in the room, he didn't talk to him too much, but it was not enough for him to chat. Cao Qing left the set in 10 minutes.

the next day.After a night of lingering with Jun Ji-hyun, the filming progress of the "Charlotte Annoyance" crew began to reach the point where the main character, Charlotte, went crazy, kissed the school belle Qiu Ya, burned the classroom and jumped off the building, only to find that she was really reborn. In 98, I finally had to go back to school to start a review scene.

But unlike yesterday's success, today I don't know if it's because Shen Teng was too nervous or something, he kept making mistakes on the set.

"CUT!"

"Stop, everyone, take a break! Such a state is wrong, Shen Teng, go to the side and rest for 10 minutes and try to adjust the state."

Behind the camera monitor of the "Charlotte Troubles" crew, Cao Qing was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of blue casual jeans. He frowned at Shen Teng and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Sure enough, Shen Teng in this age group is not the comedy king of later generations at all. Compared with him in the future who can even determine the box office of a movie, the current young version of Shen Teng is really too weak."

"It seems that I have to find time to have a good chat with him, and at the same time give him more opportunities to grow."

"Anyway, this movie has a lot of budget, even if it costs an extra 2000 million yuan for the film, it's completely fine."

Cao Qing sat behind the camera monitor and let out a long sigh. He glanced at Shen Teng in the corner of the set who was silently bowing his head in contemplation, and the crew members around him. There was a smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, it's just a few mistakes in the scene. The crew is not short of money or time. The big deal is that it will cost hundreds of millions of film costs and staff salaries. Don't worry, I can accept it for the time being. curse."

"In the future, as long as everyone works together and does not make some too low-level mistakes, I will definitely not get mad."

After finishing speaking, Cao Qing looked at the crew members and actors, big and small, who looked much better around them, with calm expressions on their faces, and didn't continue to say anything more.
