New Age Artists

Chapter 11 You are inherently beautiful
"Baoqiang, you won't secretly buy carrots to eat today, right? Don't be too dedicated this time."

Shen Santong joked and everyone laughed.

"Director, what are you talking about?" Wang Baoqiang also laughed.

He gained a lot from this crew and made even greater progress than in "A World Without Thieves".

Shen Santong has a special vision and can grasp his characteristics.

Wang Baoqiang finally learned how to act while on the set of "A World Without Thieves".

While on the set of "Supermarket", he had a clear sense of acting and was able to bring out his strengths.

I am very grateful to Shen Santong, he is my benefactor.

Once you have mastered the skills, you can truly have the confidence to make a living as an actor.

Relax and start filming. This scene will be the finale and will be placed at the end.

When everyone is working together best, you can see how much Shen Santong values ​​it.

The robbers were worried that the police would discover them, so the tire played by Wang Baoqiang was about to yawn and quickly covered his mouth.

Unexpectedly, the top was blocked but the bottom was not.

卜！
I held back a fart.

This fart is post-dubbing, it's really fart, the sound effect is not as good as the dubbing.

The key lies in acting.

Shen Santong specifically requested that this shot must be natural and have a good rhythm.

Wang Baoqiang’s yawning is very natural, and the effect is better than the original.

The robber naturally covered his mouth.

The air moves from top to bottom, and Wang Baoqiang's expression becomes more natural and relaxed.

When it came to the expression of making a fart sound, he performed without props (no fart) and contributed the most wonderful acting skills.

This version of the tire is simple and honest, so there is a bit of shyness in it.

then.

Zhang Jiayi's robber, Xu Guangtou's He Sanshui, Huang Bo's Zhu Liao, and Yan Ni's female boss gave very detailed micro-expressions.

There isn't much music, just natural shots.

There were a few close-ups and then a panoramic shot.

The taste seems to have come out of the screen, so funny.

The whole place exploded!

"Ha ha!"

When they heard the call for cut, everyone burst into laughter.

Wang Baoqiang’s acting is really good. He doesn’t need to act ugly on purpose when doing funny actions, it’s just so powerful.

This is the end.

All the supermarket scenes have been filmed, with only some exterior shots left.

He Sanshui got the lottery ticket, the tire was cheated, Huang Bo ran the group, the boss lady played mahjong, the robbers robbed, the purchaser drove the car to purchase goods, and played in the Internet cafe
Shen Santong's version does not use Li Junwei's voice-over and pictures to advance the plot.

Through character dialogue, each other's identity and past are explained.

This is easy to do because they are all good actors.

At the beginning, there is a pseudo-long shot of less than two minutes, which introduces all the characters.

It is full of textured pseudo-long shots, parallel montage and multi-line narrative, with a sense of fatalism.

But don't take it too seriously, it's a comedy after all.

He planned to try cutting out frames to make it look more realistic.

This drama has a big flaw: the scenes are very simple and only take place in a supermarket, which subconsciously gives people the feeling that it is a low-budget film.

New director, low budget, domestic film.

At this time in 04, with these three labels, the audience's first impression was that it was terrible.

Fortunately, it is a film movie, and the texture is much better than the original.

This alone is not enough, you can only use some small tricks.

Film is the art of deception, time, space, editing, and music.
Together they complete the deception and immerse the audience in this world.

The audience will look wherever the director's camera points.

Shen Santong starts with a pseudo-long shot, with a slightly slower and more stylish rhythm.

Wonderful atmosphere rendering, editing, and just the right soundtrack as the beginning of the movie.

Giving the audience a preconceived notion, this movie is really textured.

As the plot progresses, the audience will naturally forget that all the scenes take place in a supermarket. Shen Santong uses big movements to cover up small movements and divert the audience's attention.

Downplay this part of their memory and prevent them from focusing on a single scene.

A good beginning can at least gain the audience's patience for five to ten minutes.

The subsequent plot is able to cover up the shortcomings.

Shen Santong is very confident about the quality of the film.

His version is more confident than the original.

Trust the audience and use a pseudo-long shot to introduce the character.

After that, they corresponded one to one, and he believed that the audience would understand and feel great.

Some, like the policeman who was doing the shopping, put their phones in the refrigerator.

Later on, the phone rang. There was no need to flash back to explain. There was no need. Trust the audience.

Shen Santong's trust in the audience is somewhat similar to that of Nolan.

Provide some information that the audience can get and satisfy their higher pleasure points.

So Shen Santong's version of the story has two layers.

One layer is comedy, which means it's funny throughout.

There is also a plot layer, and there is a lot to explore.

The echo between the beginning and the end, the foreshadowing between the plots.

Fake robbery and real robbery, ice cubes in the refrigerator, Hetian jade in the ice cubes, shaky TV, TV falls down, electrocutes the real robber
There is also the arc of the characters.

Zhu Liao gave up singing and became a star.

He Sanshui gave up the idea of ​​achieving success overnight and used his knowledge of arithmetic to become a distributor of Wahaha mineral water. He got a career and the love of a female supermarket owner.

Tire finally defeated himself, realized that the way to justice must be practiced, and restored his martial arts.

Use Kung Fu to kick the TV and kill the robbers.

Because he received a bonus for his bravery, he opened a martial arts school with a sign hanging on it saying "The Way of Justice".

In order to save his beloved Tang Xiaolian, Li Junwei risked his life and finally won the beauty.

Three more scams
Shen Santong left too many details.

With this layer of mining information, the reputation of the film is guaranteed.

"The crew of "Supermarket" has finished filming."

On September 9, after ten days of shooting, the last shot was completed in the studio of Beijing Film Studio.

"Crazy Supermarket" has officially wrapped up filming.

"Thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I'll do it, it's up to you."

Wang Baoqiang held the disposable cup and drank it in one gulp.

For the wrap-up banquet, Shen Santong bought a sheep and prepared a whole sheep banquet.

Each person gave a red envelope, not much, but it was a token of thought and courtesy.

Everyone ate meat with big mouthfuls and drank wine with big bowls, and this work was completely completed.

"Baoqiang, don't be polite. I'll need you in the next movie." Shen Santong drank a lot.

On the last day, the materials and other things that needed to be locked up were locked up, and the equipment was returned.

My nerves, which had been strained for ten days, finally relaxed.

Each person toasted him with a glass, and he took a sip in return, which was quite a lot of wine.

In the end, no one knew who was crying, and then everyone cried together.

"Tangtang, go back to school first, be good."

Shen Santong was a little drunk, so he arranged for a car to take the person away.

Ensure safe arrival home, especially for female colleagues, and implement it in place.

The song ends and people disperse. I have experienced this many times in my previous life working on projects.

The closer it is to the end, the more important it is to get things done well.

"Sister Yanni?"

Shen Santong returned to the hotel and cleaned up the final work with the post-production staff.

When I returned to the room, I found that there was someone else in the room. Yan Ni was back again.

"Do I look ugly?" Yan Ni's eyes were red and she was crying hard.

"You are very beautiful." Shen Santong comforted.
