After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 79
The filming of the film crew is definitely different from the last time everyone watched it. When watching TV, it is natural to follow the story process slowly, but when filming, it generally does not follow the original order of the story.

This is because there are many restrictions during the shooting process, and the director team will definitely have a plan in the early stage, when and where to shoot which part.

The first is the arrangement of time or location. In terms of time, the schedules of the main actors must be coordinated. If the schedules cannot be adjusted and the roles of the actors are more important, we can only focus on a certain period of time to complete the shooting, and then shoot other parts.

This kind of situation sometimes affects the whole body, and the change of one actor will affect other actors, so the crew will generally try to coordinate as much as possible from the beginning, and the actors will follow suit.

Of course, this is the privilege of the main actors or big names. If you are a cameo or an extra, then don't even think about it, just obediently follow the crew and stand by at any time.

At the same time, the scenes in one place are usually filmed together, otherwise the crew would have to run around, and then things might have to be dismantled and reinstalled, which is very troublesome; there is also a situation where rented venues cost money every day , so it is natural to save time.

These practices will disrupt the order of filming, and it may even happen that the hero and heroine are in love in the first scene, and the next scene may be changed to when the hero and heroine just met.

This is not only a test for the actors, but also a test for the scheduling of the crew itself, so the presence of a director as the backbone is needed to ensure that the crew can operate freely under any circumstances.

Li Mingji only had a few days of filming experience before, and he was a supporting role. This time, he was serious about playing the leading role from the beginning. It was okay at the beginning.

At the beginning, in fact, to some extent, it can be regarded as Li Mingji's one-man show.

This is a "walking" process, that is, after joining the security company, Li Mingji attracted attention because of his outstanding performance, and thus entered the sight of the wife of the boss behind the scenes of the security company, so the wife transferred him to protect him, and also monitored the big boss daughter.

And this scene basically starts from when Li Mingji comes to the villa, until he enters the villa, and then sits down in the living room and waits.

In the script, the wife at this time is actually observing and evaluating him in secret, but at the shooting scene, only the director and photographers and other staff have been following him, "monitoring" him, and recording his every word One line, one move.

Inexplicably, Li Mingji had the feeling of being followed and photographed while walking on the street.

Li Mingji has read through the script before, and of course he has also studied the characters, and also wrote a biography of the characters. The protagonist is set to be a veteran, and his identity is also a bodyguard.

This can actually be referenced in reality, so when Li Mingji practiced in private before, he started by imitating the actions of those veteran bodyguards.

If you don’t want to look deliberate, you have to integrate it into your own life, so that you can act as if the protagonist himself is acting at all times, so that you almost don’t need to act, just poke there and become the character.

However, due to the short time, poor foundation and other reasons, Li Mingji has not been able to fully substitute, so of course he can't do this.

Even at this time, he is tantamount to showing the results of his previous imitation.

People are born to imitate, children like to imitate adults, fans like to imitate idols, but it is still difficult to imitate.

Fortunately, although Li Mingji did not join the army in his previous life, he was in semi-military management when he was in college. He has experience in this field, and it will be much easier to imitate on this basis.

After this trip, Li Mingji left him in a hurry, just one word, sha.

This is actually not exactly the same as the reality. In reality, bodyguards cannot be so ostentatious, but this is a TV series after all. The director's request is that he walk as fast as possible, with big steps, firm and powerful. The kind that set foot on the ground.

In addition, he was wearing the kind of thick-heeled leather shoes at this time, and when he kicked on the tiles, the rhythmic clicking sound that seemed to be moving was very comfortable.

Li Mingji's performance this time can be said to fully meet the requirements of all aspects, so the director quickly shouted "pass".

"Phew, it's a good thing I didn't screw up on this kind of scene."

Li Mingji also heaved a sigh of relief, a good start is always a pleasant thing.

In fact, although he just walked very simply, but to show the characteristics of the characters, and ensure to maintain a certain frequency of parallel movement with the camera, there is a slight mistake in the middle, and it may have to be done again.

Li Mingji's trip this time was actually based entirely on his feelings, so there was a bit of luck, and of course it might be because he had adjusted well before, so he just happened to be in the right condition.

At this time, the assistant director looked at the camera, and said to Director Zhang, "Do you want to take another shot at the angle of the second camera just now? It seems that the angle is a little bit worse?"

Although the content of the story of "Bodyguard" is not a simple love affair, in the final analysis, this is still an old-fashioned revenge story that needs to be supported by appearance.

Especially the idol star Li Mingji was invited, not only in publicity, but also in filming to show his advantages as much as possible.

What are his strengths?
It's good looks and long legs, but it's definitely not acting anyway.

So in the shot, wide-angle, close-up, side, and elevation angles, almost at the section where he walked, four crews were used at the same time to shoot from four different angles in all directions.

If this paragraph is placed in the post-editing, it will appear fast and sharp. It is obviously just walking, but it will give people a feeling that a fight is about to happen in the next second.

In essence, this belongs to the "taste of the overlord", and it can be regarded as a display of Li Mingji's personal characteristics. After all, everyone knows that he is good at acting as the overlord, and he is very familiar with it.

Of course, this itself is a compromise made by the crew to the traffic fans. Whether or not it will be done like this depends on the situation, but it will definitely be released in the trailer, so as to attract fans and attract traffic.

It is very common for the crew to shoot discarded materials, so don't be surprised why you often see the trailers and trailers are different from the main film.

"Forget it, when the time comes to edit and see which ones are available, just keep it."

Director Zhang shook his head, he didn't want to ask for trouble.

For him, too, a successful first shoot means a good start and a good mood.

But if he did it again or twice, he didn't have that confidence in Li Mingji, and felt that he could still maintain the same state.

Maybe it just felt wrong for a moment, then it would be better not to do it all over again, so let's just leave it at that.

For things that can be done in post-editing, try to be as steady as possible.

If it was just a one-shot scene, he would come in two more times to try out the effect, but with different angles of shooting, as long as the useful material is intercepted and pieced together during editing, it will be almost the same, not to mention that this part is already good.

So sometimes directors are quite helpless, not because they have no requirements or low requirements, but when facing some actors, they have to lower some requirements.

For example 1234, for example 12345, for example 123456...

The next indoor scene, that is, the scene of sitting on the sofa and waiting, Li Mingji completed it quite well, but Director Zhang was relieved, and he let go of his hanging heart, thinking that he seemed to know some Deviation, Li Mingji is not hopelessly bad.

However, these were relatively simple scenes, and the camera didn't even hit his face. He basically sat there expressionless throughout, maintaining an upright posture.

On the contrary, Weng Chenxi, who is "observing secretly" on the other side, is more important. This part is her first appearance, and she is not on the same stage as Li Mingji, and of course she will not be filming on the same scene. After all, she has to reschedule.

And after the male lead and the second female lead made their appearances, soon, it was the turn of the female lead Qin Yi to appear on the stage, and not long after her appearance, she would formally meet the male lead after the afternoon play began.

In the first day of filming, it was necessary to shoot the rival scenes between the hero and heroine, which had to be said to be very challenging.

Fortunately, this scene is relatively simple, or the way the two get along in the early stage is relatively simple, that is, the relationship between the employer and the bodyguard.

This meeting was naturally arranged by the wife in the story. In fact, the male protagonist is not the first bodyguard to be invited, but the previous ones have not passed the female protagonist.

And it was the hero's turn, because the two had met outside before, the hero saved the heroine but also scared her, in short, he left a deep impression on her.

In addition, she herself knew that her stepmother's patience was limited. If she continued to refuse, she didn't know what would happen, and there might not be someone more suitable than the male lead in the future, so she finally agreed with the male lead to be her bodyguard.

This is Li Mingji's first time playing with this heroine. Thinking that the other party is very likely to have "bad intentions" towards him, Li Mingji feels a little worried.

He already knew that the other party seemed to be just a newcomer, and he didn't know whether it was his background or his extraordinary talent, but he was able to be the heroine in the first play, and he asked "Shidi" and the queen to support her.

Although Li Mingji had seen her performance live before and thought it was really good, but one scene didn't explain anything, didn't he pass it smoothly before.

Of course, as the name of the show "Bodyguard" suggests, Li Mingji, the leading actor, is actually the absolute protagonist with the most roles, and the story is basically developed from his perspective.

However, Li Ming had every reason to suspect that the reason why this drama appeared was because of this girl.

Before, he thought that Weng Chenxi was the leader, but now he felt that if the real reason was this girl, and Weng Chenxi was just someone who pushed it to the table, it seemed to be able to explain it.

A fan wants to fall in love with an idol in a TV series, is it possible for such a plot to happen in reality?

Li Mingji didn't know, he only knew that the hero and heroine's first confrontation was in trouble from the very beginning.

"CUT!"
