Chapter 8 "Crazy Stone" Filming Starts

Unlike ordinary directors who have to work hard on the script and think about the matching of characters before the filming starts, Cao Qing already has the original movie of "Crazy Stone" as a reference in his mind, so Cao Qing's biggest difficulty before the filming is just to find people only.

As long as the right person is found, Cao Qing's film can start shooting in minutes.

Now that the protagonist has been found, and there are Zhou Xun, Huang Bo, Sun Honglei, and Liu Yijun, four powerful actors who will be named in the future, there will be no more entanglements.

With a large number of behind-the-scenes staff recruited through the "Yanke" of the entertainment circle in Beijing and a director student who had just graduated from the film and television academy and had no reputation and no resources, Cao Qing went to the end of the year on December 1997, 12. On the last day of the year, a boot ceremony was carefully prepared.

The camera was covered by a red cloth, and a crispy roast suckling pig was enshrined in front of the fuselage.

Amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, Cao Qing lifted the red cloth above the camera in front of everyone, and there was a burst of strong cheers at the scene.

Although I don't know why, but since the film film, affected by the Hong Kong Island region, all the mainland crews habitually pay homage to Guan Gong when they start filming.

God knows what Guan Gong has to do with movies, anyway, worship as long as you worship, Chinese people have always believed in worshiping gods, as long as it is useful.

After the opening ceremony was completed, everyone began to gather around to read the script.

Originally speaking, the normal process of the crew should be to read the script first, and then hold the opening ceremony.

But because Cao Qing is a super-wild guy who has never studied directing, he didn't realize that everyone hadn't done this until the filming was about to start after the opening ceremony, which directly led to the sequence of these two things. Confused.

Somewhat annoyed, Cao Qing patted himself on the face. Cao Qing called everyone together with a rather thick skin, and asked everyone to read the script directly. He didn't even mention the little mistake he made just now.

Although the crew members of "Crazy Stone" felt a little strange about this, but no one would pay too much attention to this kind of thing that might just be a special hobby of the director.

When shooting a movie, the director is the absolute master and authority on the set.

No matter how gentle Cao Qing usually is, no crew member with a clear mind will get involved in matters that may involve the director's authority.

Even Zhou Xun, who often sleeps on the same bed with Cao Qing, is very respectful to Cao Qing in front of the rest of the cast.

Regarding the matter of reading the script, everyone behaved very professionally.

Except for Cao Qing, all the leading actors in the crew are seriously analyzing the roles they want to play.

Whether it's Zhou Xun, Huang Bo, or Sun Honglei, Liu Yijun, they all can't wait to become famous in one fell swoop through this movie.

Everyone is working hard to make the movie better.

Watching Zhou Xun and several people play against each other on the set with their scripts, Cao Qing, who was emotionally infected, also sat quietly on the spot, constantly rehearsing the next step over and over again based on the basic shooting knowledge instilled in his mind. specific shooting process.

After a while, Cao Qing, who finally figured out the specific shooting steps based on his knowledge of directors in his mind, directly ordered to clear the filming location of the crew.

When the order was issued, all the behind-the-scenes staff in the shooting area immediately retreated behind the camera like a tide, and the two railcars arranged in the crew site also rushed forward with the efforts of the behind-the-scenes staff, and everything was ready Everything works perfectly within seconds.

"The crew and crew are at their positions, Crazy Stone Movie Scene 1, Action!"

Sitting behind the monitor with a somewhat uneasy expression, Cao Qing stared fixedly at the screen, looking up from time to time to see Liu Yijun's position in front of the camera.

Apparently, as the top graduate of Beijing Film Academy and a famous villain in the film industry in the future, Liu Yijun's positioning is as good as his acting skills. Even after a full long shot, he hardly has any Something went wrong.

Cao Qing nodded in satisfaction behind the camera, his tense face suddenly relaxed a lot.

"Very good, take another one, guarantee 2 and choose 1."

"In the future, everyone will remember to shoot two different versions of each shot, and I will choose the best one from the two different state shots given by you to make the feature film."

As a super wild person who has never made a movie before, Cao Qing earnestly imitated the directors in the entertainment behind-the-scenes videos he had seen in his previous life, yelling out passwords.

Stimulated by the earnestness in Cao Qing's words, Liu Yijun also acted more seriously in the camera the next moment. As he bowed and walked on the road, the image of a middle-aged, depressed and frustrated security chief was played quite well.

Cao Qing looked at the camera calmly. He was quite satisfied with Liu Yijun's excellent performance in the camera, but he was not confident in his professional ability, so he didn't dare to trust his own judgment.

Calling Liu Yijun over with a wave of his hand, and rewinding the footage captured by the monitor just now bit by bit, Cao Qing suddenly said:

"Brother Jun, what do you think of your performance just now?"

"After watching the camera, talk about your thoughts, and I will ask you questions after you finish talking."

Liu Yijun couldn't help but frown a little after hearing Cao Qing's words.

Originally, when he first saw his performance on the monitor, he felt pretty good, but Cao Qing's sudden question immediately made him a little unconfident.

He didn't expect that even though he had performed exceptionally well, in the eyes of director Cao Qing, he still had a lot of problems.

He tried his best to look at his own performance on the monitor again. Although the lens was a little blurry, Liu Yijun still found some problems slowly.

After pondering for a few seconds, he said seriously:

"Director, although I can't see it clearly, I feel that the expression on my face in the scene just now may be a bit wrong. I should pay more attention."

"Because this shot is a profile image, my eyes are not very noticeable to the audience, but if it is changed to a frontal shot, this kind of eyes may make the audience play a little bit."

Touching his chin, Cao Qing's eyes flashed a flash of enlightenment.

Unable to help, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said kindly:

"It's okay. Since you can see the problem, it doesn't matter."

"That's what I wanted to tell you just now. Your eyes are a little unnatural. You should pay more attention to this."

"Other than that, there are no other problems. You have to believe in your acting skills. Your acting skills are quite good. Come on!"
