In the past, when Chen Minhao was filming TV series, movies, and even a song MV, there were all the big names gathered. All he needed to do was keep up with the big names.
But this semester project shooting made Chen Minhao feel like he was leading four bronze medals.
In Kyoto in winter, it gets dark very early, and Chen Minhao saw that the street lights were already on. But after lunch at noon, I started shooting the scene where the two started to do it, but the progress of the shooting was completely stuck.
Difficult, too difficult. I filmed it for the Nth time, but the actions of the two still looked unsightly and too fake.
The two actors looked tired, and the volunteers who lit the lights were also listless. Chen Minhao clapped his hands and said, "Let's stop here today. Everyone has been working hard recently. Whatever you want to eat tonight, I'll treat you."
Wang Ziqiu recently treated everyone to a few fancy meals, and everyone said they were a little tired of the big meals. After several people put away their shooting equipment, they walked toward the barbecue restaurant near the school.
The mutton skewers of this barbecue restaurant are very famous. The mutton comes from the HLBE prairie, and you can taste different parts of a sheep with one skewer. From top to bottom, they are: lamb chops, lamb legs, and lamb fat. , lamb tenderloin.
7 people gathered around a long table with two grills. After the waiter helped put it on the grill, the fat on the mutton skewers dripped down drop by drop, causing small flames to appear from the charcoal under the grill from time to time.
The Chinese nation is a complex existence, with both the ancient saying of "no words when eating and no words at bed" and the saying "good conversation at the dinner table".
The seven people stood up and clinked glasses. After drinking a glass of draft beer, the mutton skewers were still not cooked.
Wang Ziqiu filled himself up from the draft beer bucket on the table, stood up suddenly and said, "I've caused trouble to everyone in the past few days, especially this afternoon. There was no progress in the fight scene between Luo Jing and I, so I'll go ahead and do it myself." Give me a drink as a penalty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ziqiu raised his glass, raised his head and drank a glass, and finally burped, and he smiled sheepishly.
Luo Jing stood up when he saw this, planning to punish himself with a drink.
Chen Minhao hurriedly stopped Luo Jing. Luo Jing's drinking capacity was relatively poor, and his wine quality was very poor. As long as he was drunk, he would make a lot of noise in the dormitory and make it impossible to sleep.
Chen Minhao saw that the mutton skewers had been grilled and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to drink. The mutton skewers are grilled. Let's chat while eating."
Chen Minhao ate a skewer of mutton skewers. He felt that the meat was very tender, and the flavor of the condiments was very light, which did not cover up the deliciousness of the meat itself at all.
Wang Ziqiu praised it without hesitation: “It’s so delicious, so delicious, I feel like my life has reached its peak.
Hey, if only filming was as easy as eating delicious food. I watched the footage of our performance myself, and I felt like I couldn’t stand it. It was so fake. "
Chen Minhao waved to the waiter, and after adding another 100 skewers of mutton skewers, he said: "We are filming a video, not rehearsing a sketch or a play - just make a few fake gestures. You have to perform with enough realism to make the performance more realistic." The audience is pulled onto this bus, giving them an immersive feeling.
Unfortunately, I haven't done many action scenes, so it's difficult to give you some effective guidance. "
Wang Xiaolong turned to look at Chen Minhao and said: "Actually, they have no martial arts or action skills, and they have never filmed any action scenes, so if we insist on shooting with a long shot like today, their 'acting' taste is too strong. It seems It's very fake and can easily make the audience laugh.
I think we can use short shots to quickly switch to make up for their lack of action. Chen Minhao, what do you think? "
Chen Minhao frowned and said nothing. Using short lenses to quickly switch is indeed a feasible shooting technique, but the shortcomings of this shooting method are very obvious.
In the industry, when filming an action scene, first take a panoramic long shot, then shoot a few close-ups, and finally shake around. This is a common way of shooting junk dramas.
At least the ceiling of the product shot in this way will be lower, and the artistry will be lowered. After all, the difficulty of the performance will be reduced a lot, and this will definitely affect the final score.
Chen Minhao, on the other hand, has a bit of a perfectionist tendency and doesn't want to settle for anything less. But thinking about it again, with the strength of the two actors, I feel like it won’t work if they don’t match up.
When Chen Minhao was struggling, Wang Ziqiu said: "Let's take a long shot."
He looked at Luo Jing and continued, smiling and saying: "Luo Jing, why don't you really hit me? Anyway, I guess you can't hurt me with your small arms and legs."
And when I was beaten for filming, I considered myself dedicating myself to art. "
Luo Jingding nodded and said: "Okay, let's really fight. It's easy to get angry and the shooting effect is good. To be honest, I once thought you were an arrogant and extravagant rich second generation. I never expected that. You are quite dedicated to art.”
After Wang Ziqiu took a sip of draft beer, he said, "There's nothing I can do. You can't hold your brother back just because you're weak."
Chen Minhao picked up the wine glass, clinked it with him, and said, "Just do your best, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Wang Ziqiu shook his head and said: "I think we can't just pursue the process, from the results point of view, we have to win.
I heard, Chen Minhao, you are being targeted. Wang Zhigang spent a lot of money on a small project this semester, and plans to shoot it well, just to give you a better grade. Then take advantage of the popularity of this matter on Weibo. "
Luo Jing said in surprise: "Ah, how did you know?" The two of them had lived in the dormitory for almost half a year. Luo Jing had a general understanding of Wang Ziqiu: he was a homebody, loved watching live broadcasts, and liked food. Thinking that there was news at school that Wang Ziqiu knew about in advance, but Luo Jing didn't know about it.
Wang Ziqiu said with a smile: "Liu Xuexiang told me that Wang Zhigang was chasing He Yexiang in their dormitory. It seemed that Wang Zhigang and He Yexiang confessed, but He Yexiang refused directly. Then Wang Zhigang told her that he would soon be able to More than you or something like that.
Liu Xuexiang and He Yexiang were in the same dormitory, and the name of his headset had the character "香" in it, so they played well together. He Yexiang would tell Liu Xuexiang anything he wanted. "
Luo Jing asked with a smirk on his face: "When did you get so close to Liu Xuexiang? Could she be the one who brought you breakfast every morning some time ago? When will you give out wedding candies?"
I didn’t expect that when I went out to have a barbecue, I would be showered with dog food. "
Wang Ziqiu shook his head firmly and said, "The girl who brought me morning greetings is Liu Xuexiang, but I won't be with her."
