I'm a big star after the funeral

Chapter 185 Chapter 180

"Cheng Hao, Zhang Wei?"

"OK!"

"Okay, all departments are in place—ACTION!"

Early the next morning, the filming officially started.

Of course, it is impossible to hold the script seminar only once, but that time it was just to exchange ideas, as long as there are any problems encountered during the filming process, we will definitely do it again, and there is no rush.

It is necessary to unify the thinking, but sometimes the direction set at the beginning is not necessarily correct, and it needs to be proved in practice.

Even if it is Yang Qing, who hasn't been in charge of the director for so many years, he dare not say that the decision he made must be correct, and the new crew and new actors still need to adjust.

Anyway, it is a process of constantly discovering and solving problems, which cannot be accomplished overnight.

However, the early stage of the play is just right for the crew to quickly pass the running-in period, because this part also happens to be the first part of the story, and it is a part of ordinary life.

In the opening scene, it happened that Qu Mingjing, played by Li Chenghao, came back after failing to find a job, and then ran into the landlord played by Zhang Wei while going up the stairs.

Qu Mingjing looked unhappy. He was not satisfied with this landlord. Of course, he was more dissatisfied with his current situation.

As a person who chooses to lie down, Qu Mingjing prefers to lie at home all day and eat his old age, and doesn't want to go out to see other people's faces.

But at home, he also has to look at his parents' faces, and when he comes out to rent a house to live alone, he has to look at the landlord's face.

And his parents always asked him to look for a job, and even if he didn't look for it, they would help him arrange it and let him go for an interview.

But after all, his parents are not big shots. They have access to ordinary people and can only provide an interview opportunity.

Anyway, these job hunting experiences, either Qu Mingjing was dissatisfied with the other party, or the other party was dissatisfied with Qu Mingjing.

Let's say it's a peace of mind, but in fact it can't be said to be a peace of mind.

In fact, Qu Mingjing is still not reconciled, but the reason why he is not reconciled is because he feels that he deserves a bigger stage, that is, "Another World" and "Savior" in light novels.

Let others know, others will only laugh at him. This is a second-year fantasy, and he probably knows this himself, but he is still willing to live in the fantasy.

But there are always things that will bring him back to reality, like now, when he passed by the landlord, the landlord suddenly took the initiative to greet him and reminded him to remember to pay the rent, which also paved the way for the future.

Qu Mingjing naturally responded casually, and then quickened his pace to go upstairs...

"CUT!"

Li Chenghao stopped and looked back at the filming team at the entrance of the corridor below, feeling a little strange.

Yang Qing stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said, "Do it again, I'll think about it again..."

Everyone is not surprised, he is the director, and only he knows what kind of shots he wants, so naturally he listens to him.

After the second time, Yang Qing clapped his palms and smiled: "By the way, after Cheng Hao went up for the last time, he looked back and made an eye scene. Hmm... You can handle it yourself..."

Li Chenghao was a little confused, but he did whatever the director told him to do. At the end of his look, he thought for a while and then just half-turned around, then gave a disdainful sideways glance.

Yang Qing was dissatisfied and said to start over.

Li Chenghao rolled his eyes this time, but Yang Qing was still not satisfied.

Li Chenghao is a little numb, the key is that you don't know what it is like if you are not satisfied.

But he had only experienced a director like Wang Zheng before, and Li Chenghao's acceptance of Yang Qing was much higher at once, so he would come again.

But this time it was changed to a very plain look, that is, when he turned his head, he seemed to be stuck suddenly, and then turned back.

"Okay, that's it!"

Hearing Yang Qing's applause, Li Chenghao smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't know what was so good about it.

But Yang Qing probably heard the voice in his heart, so he called him over and watched his performance together in front of the camera.

After reading it, Li Chenghao was vague, as if he was about to grab something.

"understand?"

"I understand, but I don't seem to fully understand."

"Hahaha..." Yang Qing laughed, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "That's right, this is called 'meaningful'."

Li Chenghao now faintly understood that Yang Qing actually had no other intentions, just to play tricks.

It's not that he wants to play tricks, but that he plays tricks on the role positioning.

why?
Because this character is a secondary school student, naturally from time to time there will be some performances that seem very old-fashioned and inexplicable.

Outsiders can't understand his thinking at that time, but it's right if they can't understand it. I'm afraid he can't understand it himself.

What he does is actually just imitating anime characters, and even certain scenes. Does this seem like a hint in some suspense films, for example, the landlord will be killed later, and he, Qu Mingjing, is actually a savior? , and the feeling that the landlord is a monster?
Seeing Li Chenghao's eyes gradually clear up, Yang Qing seemed very relieved.

In fact, he did this to make a fool of Li Chenghao, but he wanted to see Li Chenghao's perception and his understanding of the role.

Have you seen through, understood, or just floating on the surface.

It seems reassuring now that Li Chenghao's previous performance in "A Tale of Two Cities" was not a flash in the pan, nor was it all because of the good leadership of those big bosses. He himself is indeed talented and spiritual.

Of course, it looks really serious and hardworking.

Actors like this can save the director a lot of effort, and of course the director will also like it very much.

"Okay, next paragraph!"

The following paragraph is Li Chenghao's personal one-man show.

Li Chenghao returned to his room, then lay on the bed, and according to the plot of the story, he was going to enter a dream.

But of course I wouldn't shoot like this when I was filming. I would finish filming the part of my normal life here first, and then go to other venues for scenes.

Qu Mingjing's room is not as sloppy as many people think. On the contrary, it looks very clean, which also illustrates a bit of contradiction in this character.

Because this kind of cleanliness must be due to his frequent cleaning, but he is actually a very lazy person, and even his daily dress looks a bit sloppy.

And usually no one would come to this room, so it was so clean and tidy, naturally not for others to see, but just for myself to feel comfortable looking at.

But why did he choose to make himself so sloppy and unkempt?

This is definitely intentional, and the reason, as before, is also because of Secondary School.

A person who is what he looks like on the outside, and what he looks like on the inside, has such a contradictory contrast. Isn't this a characteristic of those heroes.

Anyway, these details, whether they are contradictory or weird, are all to reflect the character of the characters.

And after receiving Yang Qing's reminder before, Li Chenghao also began to have some ideas, so in this section of the performance, he focused on performing a second-year temperament.

It's hard to say whether temperament is not temperament, but it can be reflected in actions and behaviors.

For example, he threw himself directly onto the bed, waited until he was bounced up, quickly threw off his shoes, turned over and knelt on the bed on one knee, lowering his head as if he was ready to go.

Then at the next moment, the whole body suddenly went limp, and he collapsed directly on the bed.

Then he turned over again, looked at the ceiling, exhaled heavily, and then slowly closed his eyes.

That is to say, in this paragraph, it should be time to pick up the dream.

But that was filmed later, so he finished filming this section.

But Li Chenghao kept like this for a while and didn't hear Yang Qing shouting to stop. After thinking about it, he simply continued acting.

He suddenly opened his eyes, then quickly sat up, looked around in shock, blinked, and looked at his two arms - it was naturally related according to the settings in the photo, then heaved a sigh of relief, and inexplicably Confused, he sighed.

Then he got out of bed, opened the curtains, looked out of the window, after a moment of stupefaction, he closed the curtains suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and opened them again, only to see the bright spring outside.

But his eyes were full of surprise, and he quickly opened the door, wanting to see the scene outside...

"Okay, CUT! This part is natural, passed. But let's make one more guarantee. Cheng Hao, just remember this state and wake up, and adjust the angle of camera position C."

In fact, there are three camera positions facing each other at the same time. A is facing the door, which is the part where Li Chenghao walks in from the outside. B is the side facing the bed, and C is directly above, from top to bottom. Shooting from above.

The shot of Li Chenghao looking up at the ceiling was taken by camera C.

Probably after Yang Qing checked the camera position, he felt that the angle was not good.

From the picture point of view, at this time, whether the characters appear in the center, on the side or below, whether they are half-length or full-body are all particular, which will also bring different perceptions to the audience.

Yang Qing chose to shoot the half body, but in fact the lower part only reached the chest, probably because he saw some movements of Li Chenghao's hands just now, so he wanted to include this in the shot, so he adjusted the depth of field, so as to make the most of the body as large as possible. The whole body is photographed.

Li Chenghao naturally has no objection, and he feels that he is in good shape at this time.

As expected, the next one was over and over again, Yang Qing was full of excitement and decided to strike while the iron was hot, and finished the next part.

After that is the part on the aisle, and it is also when Zhang Wei appears again.

It was already the next morning, and Zhang Weicai urged the neighbor to pay the rent. When he turned his head and saw Li Chenghao who looked confused, he was stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "You are very brave, aren't you afraid of the cold?"

After receiving the reminder, Li Chenghao seemed to suddenly realize that he was barefoot at this time. Although the sun was out, the temperature was still relatively low at this time. It was naturally not a comfortable feeling for his feet to be in direct contact with the cold ground.

He ignored his previous doubts and hurried back to the door to put on his shoes. After thinking about it, he washed his feet first, then pulled his slippers to the window, and then tried several times to close the curtains. He pulled it up, but nothing changed.

So he went back to bed and lay down...

In fact, this segment should be shot separately, but Yang Qing probably thought that Li Chenghao was in such a good state, so he didn't need to interrupt the filming. He simply took a long shot and directly followed the field of vision behind Li Chenghao.

Follow him out, see Zhang Wei, notice the bare feet again, then go back to the house, wash your feet again, and go to bed...

However, long shots are difficult. Even if the individual is in a good state, sometimes the opponent's scene can't match, or the camera and the actors don't match well, so we have to start all over again.

But now that it has started, it is natural not to just give up, but to do as well as possible.

Fortunately, Li Chenghao's attitude is really good, and he has maintained no major fluctuations. Zhang Wei and the cameraman are also experienced and adjusted quickly, so the third time is finally over.

And this kind of tossing, in fact, including the delays in various arrangements, the shooting in the morning has already completed more than half.

And this point is put into the movie, and it is estimated that it can last for one or two minutes.

The filming is still going on. Next, besides calling parents to ask for money, and further showing Qu Mingjing's somewhat bad personality here, it is mainly about some daily life of Qu Mingjing.

In fact, some of these parts may not be retained in the feature film, and may be cut out.

But it’s better to shoot it first, maybe it can be used.

After that, the morning's filming finally ended. Basically, it was Li Chenghao's starring role, and then there were some parts of Zhang Wei. Others were either resting, recharging their energy, or watching from the sidelines.

Zuer naturally came over and kept watching. She would applaud Li Chenghao when she saw Li Chenghao behaved well.

But after the filming was over, she didn't come to look for Li Chenghao. Instead, she pulled Ding Xiaoying who was next to her, and the two walked away together talking and laughing.

This made Li Chenghao a little confused, but he didn't think much about it.

"Cheng Hao, although I'm afraid you will be proud if I say it, I still have to praise you. What if you don't give me the chance to praise you later?" The shooting after the opening went very smoothly, and Yang Qing seemed very happy, Came here to make a joke.

Li Chenghao shook his head and smiled, naturally thanking him.

The first day of shooting was relatively easy, and now not only the group performances, but also the main actors have not had many shooting tasks, so Li Chenghao can go back to the hotel at noon to have dinner and then come back after taking a rest.

These two days are probably the most important roles for him, and then he will join Zuer, Bai Yu and Wan Yi, and then Li Liqun and Jin Shijie will join in one after another.

Naturally, it is impossible for the crew to shoot completely according to the script, but generally choose to shoot according to the scene or the degree of difficulty.

The most simple part of the real-life shooting in the front is estimated to be completed in a week or less, and then the location has to be shifted.

Then I have to spend most of my time shooting the parkour part.

Some of them have to go to the downtown area. Of course, we have coordinated in advance, and we will make an agreement with the crowd.

The parkour movements, Li Chenghao and the others should have almost practiced, at most, during the few days when Li Chenghao was away, Bai Yu and Wan Yi secretly practiced twice, the difference would not be very big.

Of course, in fact, part of the parkour in this movie has to serve special effects, so the venue has to be specially set up with a green screen scene, so that special effects can be done at that time.

"Hello?" While resting in the hotel, Li Chenghao suddenly received a call from Zuer.
