Chapter 405

Of the three scenes shot today, this last scene is the only one with character dialogue, and also the one with the most shots.

Close up shots of Cheng Xi pulling down her shoulder strap, taking off her shoes, getting hurt on her feet, turning back to ask questions, sitting in front of the piano and talking back to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao sees Cheng Xi's stunned expression when she takes off her clothes, Xiao Yao sees Cheng Xi's smiling face when she dances, and Xiao Yao's still life close-up of the blind guide stick, Cheng Xi's dance The last panoramic shot of Xiao Yao playing the piano and Cheng Xi dancing in the same frame from the rear of Xiao Yao also involves the change of focus, which makes the two people take turns as the zoom of the virtual background.

Although due to the running in of the first two scenes, there has been a tacit understanding between the various departments of the crew, including director Xiao Yao, and the shooting speed is faster than that of the previous two scenes, the shooting time of the day has been exhausted after shooting all the scenes in this scene, and the shooting has not been completed ahead of schedule.

After the shooting of the first day, Xiao Yao invited Pei Minyi, the makeup artist, to have a meal with her at Fang's request. During the dinner, the three invited Pei Minyi to join Xiao Yao's private team. Pei Minyi said that she would not agree to work for free. All aspects of the conditions and treatment are implemented according to the industry's relatively generous standards. As for Pei Minyi's requirement to learn special effects make-up from Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao has no difficulty. He promised to communicate with her when he is free. Pei Minyi is very satisfied with all aspects of the conditions, but she can also learn some skills from Xiao Yao. Naturally, she is full of promise, so the three of them have settled the matter.

The shooting continued the next day, and there were still three scenes on this day. One is the scene of the protagonist's abnormal performance in the piano competition, the other is the scene of the protagonist walking on the road pretending to be blind and molesting pregnant women, and the other is the scene of the protagonist lying decadent in his own bed in a daze after the piano competition, and the scene of him curling up in bed and his girlfriend in the room picking up things and leaving him. In this scene, the protagonist's girlfriend's role only has a long-range lens of packing up, not to mention not showing his face. His drooping hair covers his side face, so he can't see the character's appearance at all. Such a "no face" role, Xiao Yao simply put the idle assistant Fang still to use, let her in a cameo, a film addiction.

The same three scenes, but the next day's shooting is much more difficult than the first day. In the three scenes, two Xiao Yao do not wear sunglasses, one is nervous, and the other is decadent. They all have to be expressed through eyes and expressions, so the performance is difficult. The other is an outdoor play, which is still on the road. The scheduling is more difficult, and it is also more difficult to shoot. So the next day's shooting, the crew has been working overtime shooting until the end of the night.

On the third day, the original plan was to shoot the scene of the cafe. After the training in the first two days, both Xiao Yao and the whole crew have become quite proficient. Needless to say, Lin Shaohua, the film king, is also wearing sunglasses most of the time. He only takes off his sunglasses twice to show his whole face. The performance is less difficult than the day before. So in the third day, the crew finished shooting ahead of schedule, and finished shooting all the scenes Xiao Yao expected to spend the whole day in half a day. In the afternoon, Xiao Yao pulls the crew into the residential building to shoot the scene where the protagonist knocks at the door of the final scene of the murder and asks to enter the house.

The second day of shooting overtime, the third day of shooting ahead of time, it can also be seen that the first time to do director Xiao Yao, although in the process of shooting is still good. However, there are some deviations in the early planning and the estimation of their own shooting speed. Fortunately, this is not a big problem. At noon on the third day, Tian Fangzhen, who plays the old lady, and Hu xuena, who plays the guest role and opens the door to see the situation, are all unemployed at home. As soon as Xiao Chengru and Xiao Yao give a notice, they don't say anything and happily come forward.

On the third day, after shooting all the scenes outside the house of the last client, that is, the client who committed the murder, the next two days will be the scene after the most important protagonist of the whole short film enters the scene of the murder.

This scene is the highlight of the whole short film. It is not only the scene with the most actions and dialogues, the most difficult performance, but also the longest time. Therefore, Xiao Yao not only planned to shoot this scene for a whole two days, but also spent more time and energy on the preliminary scene layout and props preparation than all the previous scenes combined .

In this scene, Xiao Yao also fully shows his talent in the use of light and shadow. By setting the brightness of several lights in the scene and adjusting the light in all directions, the picture in the lens has a sense of horror. When the close-up of the old man's bloody body on the sofa appears in the camera, it is very frightening. Of course, this is one of the natural Xiao Yao also showed a special effect makeup skills. When he turned his grandfather Xiao Chengru into a corpse with two iron nails inserted in his temple, the people in the crew once again marveled at Xiao Yao's special effects makeup skills.

In this scene, Xiao Chengru plays the corpse, so he can no longer control the live performance behind the monitor. So when shooting at the scene, even the nominally executive director was gone. Xiao Yao didn't invite anyone else, so he just started shouting at his performance position. In the middle of the shooting process, there was no director to stop, so every shot was taken from beginning to end, good or bad. After the whole shooting, the photographer carrying the camera called "card". Xiao Yao went back to the back of the monitor from the position of the actor to watch the playback. Fortunately, Xiao Yao used the high-definition digital camera to shoot in this short film, so it's very convenient to watch the playback on the spot.In this way of shooting, problems in the process of shooting can not be found immediately, but Xiao Yao has to run back to see after the whole shooting. Once there is a little dissatisfaction, Xiao Yao asks the whole shooting to be repeated. It's common for him to shoot more than ten times a shot, so the shooting speed of this last scene is also very slow. Xiao Yao did not simply delete the problematic materials, but saved them all. For him, these are also experiences that he can learn in the future.

Fortunately, Xiao Chengru and Tian Fangzhen have no opinions on Xiao Yao's way of "blind shooting" without a director.

Both of them are elderly people, and their patience is very good. Tian Fangzhen has rarely filmed now. This kind of repeated shooting not only doesn't make her have any temper, but also makes her a little excited. The murderer is still a very challenging role. No matter how many times she filmed it, she would be a rare chance to enjoy the drama. As for Xiao Chengru, who plays the role of dead body, although his face is full of blood and he has been sitting still all the time, he naturally supports the film of great grandson without complaint.

The crew and three actors filmed for two days in that dark room. It is expected that in the short film, there will be a scene of five or six minutes in length. The crew filmed almost two hours of material, and Xiao Yuancai completed the shooting of this scene with satisfaction.

In the viewfinder frame of the camera, the photographer operates the camera and slowly moves the lens. Starting from the piano, he goes to Xiao Yao, who plays the piano naked, then a nail gun is held behind him, then Tian Fangzhen, who holds the nail gun, and finally stops on the mirror reflecting the two figures on the wall. After two seconds, the photographer finally yells out The last "card!"

Wearing only a pair of shorts, Xiao Yao ran to the monitor naked and began to play back the last shot. Since the shooting of Xiao Yao taking off his clothes on the afternoon of the fourth day, people in the drama group have seen this scene countless times in a day and a half. They have been amazed at Xiao Yao's good figure from the beginning to the present.

"Good, it's over!" Xiao Yao called happily, waved his fist and said, "it's over, all the shooting is over."

This shot is the last picture in the short film, and also the last shot in the last scene in the shooting plan. The shooting of this shot means that the shooting of the whole short film is finished.

Looking at Xiao Yao's happy appearance, the people in the crew clapped happily, and some of them were a little excited, and the crew cheered. In fact, the shooting in the first few days was ok, mainly because of the last two days of shooting in this scene. The light was dim and Xiao Chengru's "corpse" was sitting all the time. In fact, the atmosphere at the scene was quite depressing. Now the director said that the shooting was all over, and the crew finally relaxed.

"Bayi, put on your clothes quickly, be careful of catching cold." Xiao Chengru, who plays the role of a corpse, stands up from the sofa. Instead of rushing to clean up the blood stains on his body and the nails on his temples, he looks at Xiao Yao, who is only wearing shorts and is excited to punch.

"It's OK. I'm not cold at all in this season." Xiao Yao said with a smile. But that is to say, under the gaze of Xiao Chengru, Xiao Yao took one side of his clothes and quickly put them on. At the end of August, the temperature is really high, but because of the large number of people in the filming room, the air conditioner is turned on, and the dark and frightening atmosphere is specially created, which makes people feel much cooler than the hot weather outside. Xiao Yao's body is not so afraid, but he doesn't want Xiao Chengru to worry.

Not counting the preparation time, it takes five days to complete the shooting of a short film of more than ten minutes. This speed is neither slow nor fast. Although there are still a series of work in the later stage, such as dubbing, music and editing, after all, killing the youth also represents the end of a stage. After today, the production team will soon be dissolved, so Xiao Yao took turns hugging and thanking the staff of the production team after he got dressed.

"Everyone has worked hard these days!" After thanking the crew, Xiao Yao stood in the middle of the field, raised his hands and said in a loud voice, "I'm a new director. This is my first plot short film. Today's successful youth killing is inseparable from the joint efforts of all of you, so I'll treat you tonight and give you a youth killing banquet. It's my thanks to you!"

"Wow, the director is so generous!" The crew applauded.

After a play is finished, it is quite common for the crew to organize a green killing banquet to celebrate. However, a short film took only five days to shoot. After the killing, a killing banquet was held, which was somewhat unexpected for the crew. So when Xiao Yao announced the news, it was a surprise for the crew.

The youth killing banquet is not only for the crew, but also for the actors who participated in the shooting. Therefore, after announcing the news of the youth killing banquet, Xiao Yao told the crew to clean up the scene, and also sent a message to the actors who participated in the short film shooting a few days ago.

The location of the banquet is still temporarily decided by Fang, which is not too far away from the filming site of the crew. After the crew packed up the equipment, they killed them directly. Although it was Xiao Yao's temporary notice on a whim, everyone also gave face and arrived one after another within the time of Xiao Yao's notice.Xiao Chengru, Tian Fangzhen, Ye Jiaying, Lin Shaohua, Huang Shi, Su Chengying, Cheng Xi, Xiao Yao, Chen wanting, such a luxurious star cast looks very scary. When the hotel owners and service staff saw so many stars gathered in their hotel, they were really surprised.

The hotel Fang is still looking for is a hotel with the experience of hosting a green banquet. The staff in the hotel know that this is a green banquet held by a drama group from their appearance. When they see stars entering the same box one after another, the people in the hotel begin to wonder which drama group is so good that they can organize such a luxurious star lineup to serve the audience There is no news in any media?
