After the white moonlight cuts the black

Normally, when the production crew is turned on, the screenwriter should just stay cool.

But this movie does not follow routines. Not only is the script a "semi-finished product", but the variables on the scene are still unpredictable.

The tentative location is the school and an alley in the back street of the school, and the rest of the overpass, hospital and housing will be completed in Hengdian.

The number of days spent on location is far less than that of the shooting base. Meng Huaiming mixed tricks in the script, integrated and compressed the scenes used, and tried to avoid being squeezed on the set to the greatest extent.

The first hurdle of the script is the director. Meng Huaiming doesn't expect Director Sun's spirituality to be re-polished in this film. If Director Sun doesn't know how to write the script, then maybe he has no idea.

Meng Huaiming moved a stool and sat in front of the monitor, Yan Hui stood aside, and the producers and others gathered around to watch the opening scene.

After discussing the direction of the script with Yan Hui, Meng Huai overturned all flashback techniques, leaving only the beginning and leaving a suspense.

Taking the protagonist Zheng Cheng's "waking up" at different times and places as the clue of the camera switching, this story constructed from dreams is re-telled.

The scope of the school’s shooting is mainly near the classrooms, ancient bridges and teaching buildings, while the art team suggested using the advantages of this school, that is, a flower gallery in the open space between the teaching buildings, as an alternative.

But to reset the scene, they are still in contact with the field management.

The plot took place in the month close to the college entrance examination. It was hard to avoid filming in the cold weather. Everyone was wrapped up tightly outside the scene, and the actors were still wearing loose spring school uniforms.

Tong Shuize was already in his youth, and the character design of the sunny boy who walked away basically didn't need to be deliberately modified, and he could stuff it into a high school student after putting on clothes.

But An'an looks charming, which is far from the gentle image in Yan Hui's pen.

Wen Liang is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. The original text also said that he is not too sharp-looking, but only considered to be a little handsome among boys, while An An's face is too eye-catching, and he is throwing a hook when he glances at him.

It stands to reason that this kind of actor who is too different from the original setting will not be considered at all.

It's just that no matter how people choose, they all come in, and they have to meet mountains and open mountains, and meet water to open rivers.

The makeup artist looked at his face for a long time, and forced him to look pure and beautiful.

Fortunately, An An himself is not tall and thin, so he cut his hair short and put on a blue and white striped school uniform. Let him stand upright and look from the back, he still looks a bit like that.

It was Chu He who made people admire him.

Director Sun originally planned to divide the role of "Zheng Cheng" into juvenile and youth, and Chu He took the role of youth, but for some reason he changed his mind, and Meng Huaiming was still Chu He's arrangement.

It was only after looking at the appearance that Director Sun finally decided to let him act alone, which made sense.

From the perspective of Chu He approaching the audience step by step from across the corridor of the school, age was trampled into splashes under his feet.

His hair was longer than that of ordinary students, and he was a bad boy whose head was caught and shaved by the dean when he was studying. His eyes were arrogant and blatant.

He greeted his classmates in the corridor a little carelessly, and the teacher who had just left the office complained in a low voice: "You boy!" He shook his head helplessly and left.

The whole picture is in motion, Chu He walks in the middle of the corridor, such a maverick and high-profile style will be used to create a contrast later to set the tone of his life.

In the post-dubbing, there will be a whistle in the noisy background sound, and Yan Hui can even read the melody from Chu He's micro-expression.

Zheng Cheng briskly walked through the corridor and entered through the back door.

"it is good!"

At this point, the camera will use the wall as the transition point and cut into the classroom.

The first shooting of Scene 1, Act 1 is over, and one is passed, which marks a successful start.

Yan Hui saw Jiang Pan smiling proudly, but the smile soon sank into a vague bitterness.

Director Sun and the producer were very happy, and the smooth opening of the door was considered a lucky start.

Immediately afterwards, everyone started to move around, but they couldn't all squeeze into the classroom. Li Xi consciously stood outside, planning to think about the lines of the script. Although the line changes couldn't be her fault, it was better than doing nothing.

After she had reworked the lines for tomorrow's show three times, she still didn't hear the news of the completion of the work, but a sound of "stuck" was like a reminder.

Li Xi guessed that the filming would not be finished in a short time, so she planned to go to the set for a walk. The idlers on her side would leave as soon as they said they would, and the group of people in the classroom in the central set had long been annoyed.

The difficulty of shooting many people in a small space is inherently high. In addition, the weather is bad today, the lighting is not very good, and the lighting is slow. The lighting engineer and the photographer shouted as usual, and they were out of focus and changed positions, shouting and shouting. I'm going to fight.

The producer has a big temper and a loud voice, and he blocked both sides with a sentence of Brother Kong Fang. The photographer was not happy after hearing his words. The crew is petty in terms of funds, and now they are still blaming them.

Moreover, the level of these actors' positioning is too bad, and if they degenerate a little bit, they might not even be able to find the camera.

There is not much conflict in the scenes in the classroom. The actress who plays the class teacher mobilizes the third year on the podium, saying "you have to fight for your ideals and for yourself".

Accompanied by the words "live up to", "chasing dreams" and "no regrets", Zheng Cheng and Wen Liang in the front and back rows were making small moves.

Zheng Cheng threw an exam paper to Wen Liang, Wen Liang turned it over, and found that the statistics question, the pie chart was painted with a pen by Zheng Cheng into a grinning emoticon, with a line of elegant words underneath, Wen Liang looked back slightly after reading it Damn, said: "Are you going to study late again?"

Zheng Cheng took the opportunity to stuff him with a candy, "You support me at the front."

Then Zhou Bozhou at the same table would say: "Hey, you two are enough. Lao Liu will have a mock exam for evening self-study, and whoever escapes will be left behind."

Immediately afterwards, everyone stood up and began to take an oath. The oath was the same: "I will overcome obstacles, live up to the high expectations of my parents, live up to my ideals, and live up to my tenacious time. I will sharpen a sword in 12 years, and the sword's edge will be directed. No regrets!"

"What's the matter with you?" Director Sun looked at Tong Shuize, "Why are you shaking?!"

These few lines will be read with different accents by different people in the protagonist group. Tong Shuize's is the phrase "live up to my ideals". Who knows that he got stuck for the first time because his appearance was too weak, but this time it was caused by too much force. The body swayed, blocking the insufficient light.

Tong Shuize lowered his head and managed to pass again.

At this time, An An called Director Sun. He has performed well since just now, so Director Sun treated him kindly: "What's the matter?"

"I think we can open the windows a bit, the wind blows the test papers, and swear in this atmosphere, doesn't it make you feel better?"

It is rare for an actor to make suggestions on the layout of the scene, and the suggestions are not centered on his own character. Director Sun listened, rubbed his chin, and asked the sound engineer to discuss.

The sound engineer opened the window and tried again: "Okay, the live sound has little effect, so stop people outside from moving around, that... don't shake, the clothes are loud."

Tong Shuize seemed to be nervous and couldn't help swaying, and later several times were delayed because of him, and the temperature in the room gradually became the same as that outside. Meng Huaiming couldn't stand it anymore, and he left the classroom and went downstairs with Yan Hui.

At the end of the classroom scene, Zheng Cheng, the hero, saves the beauty, and fights with the school violent and gentle bastard.

In the original text, this scene took place in the playground, with big lights on all sides of the playground, and heavy rain fell. However, due to the lack of visibility due to haze at night, the idea of ​​​​big white lights was rejected, and it was changed to an alley, and it still rained.

"Brother Meng, Brother Chen." Li Xi and the artist girl came to meet them. Li Xi's cheeks were flushed from the cold, and he bowed to Meng Huaiming very solemnly: "Brother Meng, can you go and see the scene of plan B?"

planB is the flower gallery that the art team mentioned earlier.

The scene matter has nothing to do with the screenwriter. It's really inappropriate for Li Xi to let his immediate boss run errands, but the few of them are idlers on the set for the time being, so they just go.

On the way, Li Xi expressed their thoughts.

She thinks that the scene in plan B can replace the back alley and be used as a place for fighting.

"Yang, tell me."

The girl from the art group next to Li Xi put down her mask and coughed a few times.

She swept out from the wide angle of the gallery with her hand, and finally pointed to the teaching building, "The design of the school is that the flower gallery faces southwest, and the teaching building is on the left. Every day when the sun sets, most of this open space will be exposed under the sunset. This is our concept map."

Meng Huaiming took a look and saw that the bright red oil paint in the realistic painting style covered the paper, and the shadows of the semi-curved corridor were intertwined, like an open fan.

"Although the alley in plan A is dark enough, there are no students who go to such a place after evening class, and it's still raining."

Li Xi murmured in a low voice: "How can there be no blood in a fight, if we are not allowed to shoot, let's use nature to help act, we just tried it, even with the current lighting effect, the shadows will fall on the clothes and faces of the people in the hallway. "

But this is already ultra vires.

Although the first draft of the show was written by the screenwriters, they were not that capable when they arrived at the scene.

Meng Huaiming looked at the flower gallery in silence.

Li Xi said nervously: "That Meng Bian...in the novel, it is written that 'the blood flowed out of the mud along the winding road and galloped on the red grass'. The style is not cold, and some playgrounds use red lights According to the night, it is warm and cold."

Li Xi suddenly realized that he was talking too much, "...Bian Meng, me too, um... just pointing out opinions, plan B hasn't been set up yet, the track has just been installed, I..."

"It's a good proposition."

Meng Huaiming took pictures of the flower gallery with his mobile phone, took the design drawing of the artist A Yang, and walked towards the teaching building.

Reasonable suggestions are fed back, and directors who are striving for perfection may adopt them, and they may even be excited because they have discovered a good angle.

After listening to Meng Huaiming's words, Director Sun thought it was feasible.

But as soon as he made a decision on the front foot, he made a phone call on the back foot, and then disagreed again.

"Old Meng, don't you see that the scripts are all well-written? We can't..."

What they wanted was the artificial waterwheel to rain water, and Wu Fei, who was sitting in the hotel, was bitten to death to make it rain.

Meng Huaiming sneered: "Director Sun, the script was already written."

"Uh, Lao Meng, you are considerate."

Then there is the back and forth.

The two were talking, when the person who was in charge of the stills suddenly interrupted, he was hired by Sun Daohua with a lot of money.

"Director Sun, I think the Flower Gallery is fine, and I also want to shoot a set of stills there."

Director Sun frowned, but the stills teacher said: "After this set of stills is released, I can let old friends and seniors promote it."

Now Director Sun was a little moved.

It was Director Sun's selfish intention to invite this secret big guy to take a promotional photo in the style of his first movie.

In the beginning, he didn't expect that this teacher who is famous for his arrogance and arrogance would really have any idea of ​​excellence in the crew, but now everyone has taken a step back, and he will be very disrespectful if he doesn't go on the road here.

It's just that Wu Fei still insisted on not letting go, and Director Sun hesitated, "Then, Mr. Qin, what did you plan for this still?"

"I haven't read the article, but the name has three meanings."

"Two-person scenes at Tianqiao and Shiqiao are a must. Shiqiao is for youth, and Tianqiao is for adulthood. There is a lack of transition in the middle, and the third meaning, life and death."

The two girls were poking their heads in this direction near the stairs, while Yan Hui stood quietly at the side.

"I have never been able to find the feeling for this, but if this scene, maybe it can be." The stills teacher has rich body language and cooperates with his hands: "On one side is a teenager in the brilliant sunset, and on the other side is a decadent middle-aged man sitting in the shadows. Reach out."

Meng Huaiming understood what he meant. Even if it was a basic introduction, photography, editing, and image processing all pay attention to the co-production of artistic conception and meaning.

When visual beauty has become commonplace, whoever can innovate artistic conception beauty will have a new realm.

This is the simplest requirement, and it is often the most test of talent.

At this point, Meng Huaiming stopped participating, and asked Li Xi and A Yang to come over, and directly mentioned the ideas to the director. He stood aside to control the scene, and occasionally whispered to Yan Hui: "You are looking for him?"

Who would have thought that the changes would be caused by the stills teacher?

There are too many elusive factors, and a decision often depends on multiple parties, but the result is so simple.

"What? The B scene was used in the end?" Wu Fei hadn't eaten two bites of the hot pot takeaway when the news came that the location had been changed.

An An's tone was indifferent: "I'm in Hualang now. Director Sun changed his mind after making a phone call. You're not selling me, are you?"

"I can't sell you, big star." Wu Fei dropped his chopsticks, "I'll go ask what's going on."

"Yeah, you have to 'good' ask what's going on."

Wu Fei used other people's money to do things for others. This time he thought he was responsible: "Don't worry, you will continue to be your star. When it rains, it's just a cover. Our main arrangement is not here anymore."

An An hung up the communication.

Seven or eight extras came up the stairs behind him to get their clothes.

He glanced at it, took the baby warmer and walked towards Chu He whose lips were pale from the cold: "Brother Chu, let's warm up first, and it will heat up after some activities."
