Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 294 Original Micro Movie?
There are a lot of scenes in Laojun Mountain, and because it is a real scene shooting, in addition to the special effects scenes, the location of the five peaks of Qingyunmen and the shooting of daily scenes are all here, so every transition, setting, and lighting cost a lot time.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were obsessed with the mirror technique and the aesthetics of light and shadow in the observation and learning atmosphere. Although some things and knowledge were temporarily difficult to understand, this was because they hadn't tried it themselves.

If you don’t understand, record it for the time being and wait until you have a chance to try to understand it. If you understand it, analyze it in depth to make yourself understand the new knowledge more deeply.

As the days go by, they also enjoy it.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi are making progress day by day, and Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying are also making great progress.

Especially Huang Xuan, as Chu Xuan said, Huang Xuan's experience is very similar to Zhang Xiaofan's early experience, with the early teaching of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and the lectures of Huang Lei and Wu Qingyuan on the set, so Huang Xuan filmed It's easier to play the role of Zhang Xiaofan in the early stage of growth.

For newcomers like Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying, after having the method of self-learning, apart from insisting on training every day, the most important thing is the sense of faith in acting.

With a sense of belief, you can deduce true feelings.

With true feelings, the audience will believe in the existence of this character.

But the concept of a sense of faith is very vague, and everyone has their own different understandings. For this abstract vocabulary, it can only be supported by the actor's own experience and experienced through scenes.

As for how long it takes to realize how long it takes to have a sense of faith immediately after shooting, under the premise of developing a strong psychological quality, you can only look at talent, or have a master who can't be met to lead the show.

But even if there are masters leading the show, it still depends on one's own ability.

The master leads the door, and the practice is personal.

The basic methods on how to become a qualified actor have been taught, and there are also advance instructions for each scene, and the rest can only be seen by Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying's personal performance.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi sat in front of the monitor every day and took a small notebook to carefully record the appearance of their studies. Maybe they infected Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying, or maybe they were inspired by their own dreams. Both of them worked hard.

Under the witness of everyone on the set, the number of times they were shouted "click" gradually decreased during filming, and they made significant progress day by day, which also made Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei happy for this.

In addition to self-improvement, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also have to deal with the production team to manage the crew's affairs every day, and communicate with the special effects team on the production plan of special effects, and they don't know the passage of time.

Until this day, a phone call broke the good time that the two were immersed in the learning atmosphere.

——September 12.

It was 6:[-] in the morning and it was pitch black.

On the viewing cliff of Laojun Mountain Scenic Area, there are several faint figures disappearing in the darkness
It seemed a little strange that someone appeared on the mountain at this point in time.

At this time, a bright white light came out, and the viewing cliff area of ​​Bailaiping gradually appeared from the light source, and the figures of Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi also appeared.

"Really, I am really convinced when I meet you two."

"Really know how to play."

Su Chang and Jiang Xin folded their arms. The weather in December was already cold, but it was even colder on the mountainside hundreds of meters high.

Going up the mountain to shoot the sunrise in this weather?
They are also drunk.

Seeing the two people in the beam of light ahead, they shook their heads and sighed.

They figured it out, these two people always did not do normal things, they like to find the excitement called romance.

"Let's see my photography skills later!" Concubine Liu Yi turned her head and said, under the illumination of the photography lights, she let out a breath every time she said a word.

The temperature was only a few degrees, and before the two good sisters could react, she turned her head.

Concubine Liu Yi rubbed her hands together from the cold, took a step forward and encircled Chu Xuan's waist from behind, put her hands into the pockets on both sides of Chu Xuan's down jacket, the cold hands touched the warm hands, she lay down comfortably On Chu Xuan's back.

Xu Shi felt the coldness in her hands, and a pair of big hands clasped her hands tightly in her purse. She smiled softly and felt sweet in her heart.

Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying glanced at it, their hearts were calm and they were no strangers to it.

Sister Tian Zhen said before that when mixing with Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi, one must be prepared for 'high blood sugar'.

They've had spikes in 'blood sugar' and 'hyperglycemia' to the point of needing insulin, and it's leveled off now.

Since the morning jogging exercise started that day, the two of them have experienced the morning life of morning jogging, body training, reciting training, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's drama talk in advance.

It has been January since joining the crew, and the two of them are already used to this kind of crew lifestyle.

I have to say that such a life of learning and improving every day is very fulfilling.

What made them admire was that Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi didn't have to do this, but they insisted on training with them every day. No wonder Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were so good.

The teaching methods of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also gave them more encouragement, a sense of intimacy and trust.

"Dawn!" Jiang Xin shouted.

Concubine Liu Yi raised her head, which lay on Chu Xuan's back, and looked to the right at the dark sky.

A crack opened in the sky, a ray of morning light was struggling desperately, and the light spot gradually expanded visible to the naked eye, as if blooming a flower of life longing for brilliance in this dead and endless sky.

Concubine Liu Yi pulled her hands out of Chu Xuan's pockets, turned around and ran to Huang Xuan, took the camera in Huang Xuan's hand, then turned and ran to Chu Xuan's side.

She raised the camera and pointed the lens at the light, "Li Ying, turn off the camera light."

"Oh." Zhao Liying took a few steps and pressed the switch of the camera light.

The surrounding light disappeared in an instant, and the scene environment fell into the darkness before dawn.

At this moment, the phone rang, piercing the quiet atmosphere waiting for the sunrise.

Chu Xuan took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, looked at the caller ID and it was Liu Xiaoli, he pressed the connect button and put the mobile phone to his ear.

Liu Xiaoli was talking, and Chu Xuan was listening.

Tens of seconds later, "Okay, I'll come back later."

Chu Xuan hung up the phone.

"What did mom say?" Concubine Liu Yi held the camera in both hands and asked Chu Xuan with her head tilted. She immediately recognized the voice of her mother from the phone call.

"The plane back to the capital at noon." Chu Xuan put the phone back into his trouser pocket.

"Ah?" Concubine Liu Yi wondered, "Why are you going back to the capital all of a sudden?"

Chu Xuan put his hands into his clothes and purses, and said, "The villa was renovated a few days ago, and it needs to be inspected and submitted to apply for a real estate certificate."

"The decoration of the villa is finished." Concubine Liu Yi said happily: "Then go and see what it looks like."

Chu Xuan nodded, and said, "Mango Channel's New Year's Eve concert is also going to be prepared. I forgot the lyrics of the four songs."

"That's right!" Concubine Liu Yi was in a daze for a moment, and she couldn't help but laugh: "It is true that you have to prepare a long time in advance, otherwise it will be very embarrassing if you forget the words."

Chu Xuan opened his mouth. He was about to say something, but suddenly his face froze, as if he remembered something.

"I remember one more thing."

"what?"

"Graduation works."

Concubine Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, blinked her eyes and said, "It's more than half a year before I graduate."

Chu Xuan shook his head and said, "Submit the work report before the end of June next year. Whether it's a drama or a micro-movie, the duration requirement is more than 15 minutes. If it's a 15-minute drama, we need to go to school to rehearse for about two months. It is a micro film, and it will take longer from script planning, team building, shooting, editing, and post-production."

Concubine Liu Yi frowned slightly as she listened. At first glance, it really took a lot of time to prepare a graduation project.

"There are still nearly seven months. It seems that there is enough time, but..." Before Chu Xuan finished speaking, he fell into deep thought, thinking about the arrangements for next year.

Concubine Liu Yi turned her head to look at him, waiting for him to finish.

"December is not free, we have to prepare for the New Year's Eve party."

"There is a micro-entertainment night in January. We are the spokespersons. If we have to arrive early to communicate with the official process, it may take a few more days."

""The Condor of the Gods" is expected to start airing in February, so it should be nothing to do with us."

"However, after this year's "Legend of Sword" and next year's "Sculpture of God" are broadcast, it is estimated that some award organizers across the country will invite us, and then we will run around the country, and there will be no time."

"There is also a company that wants to set up a film and television company, and it is possible to launch a variety show next year. We will also make a movie next year..."

Chu Xuan paused, thinking about what else to do.

Concubine Liu Yi pouted and said, "Stop talking, it sounds exhausting."

Chu Xuan smiled and sighed in his heart, next year is really busy and full of things.

"Then what should we do? What about the graduation work? Brother Zhang has to manage "Sculpture of the Gods" and "The Deer and Cauldron", and "Zhu Xian" can only be greeted by us, there is no time at all." Concubine Liu Yi frowned.

She had forgotten about her graduation project, but she remembered it after Chu Xuan mentioned it.

Originally, I thought it would not take a lot of time to make a graduation project, but hearing Chu Xuan talk about next year's arrangements, it seems that I don't have time to prepare for my graduation project.

Concubine Liu Yi pursed her lips in thought, her eyes moved left and right: "If we finish the graduation work when we are on the set of "Zhu Xian", then we won't delay other things."

Chu Xuan looked at her and said, "If we don't go back to school to choose the script of the play, then we can only create a micro movie."

"Is it possible?" Concubine Liu Yi asked.

Compared with drama, she prefers to use microfilm as her graduation work.

She knows herself very well. Although she is confident, she also knows that her current performance level is still not enough for the drama stage.

Even if she does, she will drag Chu Xuan back.

Maybe Chu Xuan didn't care, but she didn't want to.

If it's just an ordinary performance, she is willing to try drama.

But it is related to the graduation grade, she thinks it is better to use her own advantages to show the work.

"There are a lot of "Zhu Xian" in Yunnan Province. The "Tianlong" film and television city in Yunnan Province is not like the "Sculpture" film and television studio in Zhejiang Province. There is only one studio, and there are three studios there."

"If we can create a script that can meet the needs of microfilms by building only one scene in one studio, then we can learn from the crew and do the work of a producer who greets the crew well, and we can Shoot graduation works to complete the study of the task."

"I think it's okay." Concubine Liu Yi said, "If this is the case, many teachers in the crew can still give us pointers and give us ideas."

Chu Xuan nodded slowly. Graduation works must be prepared, otherwise it would be embarrassing to fail to graduate.

The script of the drama is provided by the school, and the rehearsal is arranged by the teacher. Only after the rehearsal can the performance be performed on stage, and the school leaders will score it.

It seems convenient not to write a script, but if you go to school to rehearse a play, it will delay a lot of things.

"First get the New Year's Eve party done, come up with a story during this period, and then let Brother Liu check it out. With Brother Liu, a senior screenwriter, Mu Ye is fine with the crew. When the crew is free, we need one or two groups. With the camera crew, it's not difficult to set up a microfilm crew, but the difficulty is whether we can come up with a good story." Chu Xuan pondered.

"One by one, if we have inspiration, we will discuss it. Sometimes we can't think of anything after racking our brains." Concubine Liu Yi said.

Sometimes, you try your best to think of an idea, but you just can't think of it.

But, if you don't think about it, an inadvertent inspiration will come.

"Yes." Chu Xuan nodded, expressing approval.

It's not the time to think about graduation works yet, so Concubine Liu Yi put aside her distracting thoughts and handed the camera to Chu Xuan: "My hands are sore."

Chu Xuan took the camera, and before he could do anything, Concubine Liu Yi crawled in front of him.

"We work together," she said.

Chu Xuan put his hands on Concubine Liu Yi's shoulders, holding the camera in a circular posture.

Concubine Liu Yi tilted her head back slightly, touching Chu Xuan's face, operating the camera.

"That's enough, you guys! Just pretend we don't exist!" Su Chang jokingly scolded, Jiang Xin and the others couldn't help but smile.

Hearing the words from behind, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi smiled lightly without turning their heads. At this time, the morning light was getting stronger and stronger, and the two of them focused on watching the screen.

"The contrast is turned up, the clouds near the sun become darker, and there is only a newborn light in the center of the dark clouds. This scene is suitable for ghost movies." Concubine Liu Yi said with a smile.

"If you adjust the contrast to a moderate level, the morning light looks like the setting sun," Chu Xuan said.

"En." Concubine Liu Yi lowered the contrast a bit, the sun scene in the picture really looks like the sunset scene.

"If you increase the shutter speed and set the camera mode to interval shooting, you can capture the rapid gradation of the sun and the rapid dissipation of the clouds." Chu Xuan said.

"Time Acceleration Method." Concubine Liu Yi nodded.

The two of them tried out what they had learned this month with the camera. While experiencing the beautiful scene of the sunrise in reality, they also felt the various presentations of the screen images that change with the parameters, and benefited a lot.

If you want to learn photography well, you have to do it yourself.

At seven o'clock, the night was completely lit up, and an orange sun rose, splashing on the faces of the people on the viewing cliff, and the cold wind brought a little warmth.

"Let's go."

I successfully photographed the sunrise, experienced the camera for the first time, and felt happy.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi walked along the road of the scenic spot and came to the crew.

"Did you catch it?" Zhao Jian asked slowly as he was eating a steamed bun.

"It's taken." Concubine Liu Yi nodded.

Zhao Jian smiled, and went to shoot the sunrise early in the morning, as expected of a young man, full of energy.

"Brother Zhao, Qianqian and I are going back to the capital today. It may take about 20 days before we can return to the set in early January next year." Chu Xuan took a bag of steamed buns from Huang Lei.

"Okay." Zhao Jian said.

He didn't ask too many questions. As stars, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi must have a lot of things. He, the director team and teachers like Wang Jinsong also affirmed and appreciated them for being able to study and ask questions so diligently with the team every day.

"Go get busy if you have something to do, I'm on the crew, Huang Xuan and Li Ying, we'll watch." He said, also to reassure Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi.

Chu Xuan nodded, and said to Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying: "You can't stop training every day, don't be lazy when we leave."

"No." Huang Xuan shook his head. Being an actor is his dream. Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi can experience the growth they have gained after training every day.

"Master, Mrs. Qianqian, go and come back quickly." Zhao Liying muttered.

Joining the group with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, the rumored discordant atmosphere in the crew and the suppression of newcomers did not exist.

She is not stupid, she knows that this is the special treatment given to her and Huang Xuan invisibly by Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi.

This feeling was so refreshing that it made her rely on Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi for a while.

After a simple breakfast, I greeted the crew and the early actors.

"Bye-Bye."

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi waved their hands, and left with the team down the mountain.
