Chapter 74 The run-in period
Maschun is not an actress who yearns for unspoken rules. It should be said that how many actresses in the entire entertainment industry really want to be unspoken rules?
What do you have? Why did you take over the role of Shen Jiayi?
Could it be that she is Jiang Wenli's niece?
Yes, Jiang Wenli is an old senior, but even her nationality has been changed to Americans. Why did Chen Lin give her face?
Chen Lin is the one who dares not even give face to the Wang brothers, so how could he care about Jiang Wenli?
Fame?
Maschun doesn’t even have a decent masterpiece, so where does it come from?
Acting?
Haha, although I am very confident, there are more young actresses with acting skills in China.
There are some girls who are more beautiful than her in the Central Academy of Drama.
Maschun is not stupid, and her heart is like a mirror. Therefore, her gratitude for Chen Lin comes from the bottom of her heart.
Isn’t there a saying that you can’t repay me, you can only promise me with your body!
Let’s just sacrifice yourself! This is also the norm, the unspoken rule!
Hollywood calls this unspoken rule the director's red sofa. After the actress passes the audition, the director will put the red sofa in the office, which means that he accepts the unspoken rule. This seems to be a tradition passed down from Hollywood before the First World War.
And they call this the rules of the game!
Look, this is all about learning advanced foreign experience.
Besides, Chen Lin's appearance is pretty good, and with the identity of the director, he is definitely a rich son-in-law.
If this is done, I can join the director's wife group, so awesome.
I was so proactive, but I didn’t expect Chen Lin to say that he was not interested in her!
It's so damning!
What else could Maschun say? He turned his head and left.
...
The shooting started quickly, and in less than ten minutes, the prop group quickly moved out several other chairs.
Regardless of whether these people still question Chen Lin or not, they still have professional qualities. Taking money to do things is the most basic principle in the entertainment industry. If they can't even do this, these people will not have the current qualifications and status.
However, the subsequent shooting was still not smooth. From the venue setting to the camera position, many times it was constantly adjusted. The new crew really needed to be run-in. On the other hand, Chen Lin lacked enough experience and it took about two and a half hours to complete the third shot since the start of the filming.
Although Chen Lin has experienced filming once and has been studying hard with many great directors for a long time, he is not an omnipotent genius.
If you make mistakes, you will make mistakes, and you also need to adjust your rhythm with the entire crew.
All of these take time.
Chen Lin needs to be integrated with various jobs in the crew, and also with the actors. The long shooting throughout the afternoon has caused several actors to be troubled.
Fortunately, the actors present were all newcomers and there were no legendary drama bully.
If you encounter someone with a bad temper and a little famous, it would be impossible to show it to him.
The entertainment industry seems to be glamorous, but the crew will never be harmonious. Unless the person who controls the set can suppress everyone in the crew so much that they can't raise their heads.
Later, Chen Lin changed the shooting plan and moved more scenes of temporary actors to the front. After a full week of booting up, he never filmed several scenes of major actors. After more than a week of collisions and contradictions, the crew's operation began to smooth.
...
"Adjust the aircraft No. 4 to the airborne down shot!"
The set was busy but not disorderly. Chen Lin held the loudspeaker and kept giving orders, "Old Chen, there is a problem with your No. 2 machine aperture. Re-adjust the white balance. No. 3 machine, you just need to stare at the heroine!"
He threw the loudspeaker aside, Chen Lin walked into the classroom, nodded to the several actors who greeted him, and walked directly to the heroine.
"Si Chun, you had a problem when you tried the shot just now."
Maschun looked at Chen Lin with some confusion.
"You acted too out of style just now." Chen Lin reminded her, "Restrain, and don't stare at you or laugh casually. This is a very bad habit. Your smile seems to be trained through professional training, and it is not cute at all!"
Turning around, Chen Lin looked at Huang Xuan again, and this guy still looked literary and artistic.
"Brother Xuan, can you not be so introverted? Just do what I said, shout loudly, and get angry when you should be angry! Don't make that eye-catching acting!"
"I see."
Huang Xuan waved her hand, and Chen Lin had emphasized it too many times!
"And you, you are not a decoration. Every expression of yours will have an impact on the male and female protagonists. Don't let me see your hunched expressions again! Otherwise I will replace you!"
This is for extras.
After leaving the classroom, Chen Lin returned to his position, arranged various departments, and called for a short time to clear the scene, the shooting continued.
This kind of film does not require particularly strict requirements for actors, and Chen Lin does not need long shots with difficulty. After more than ten days of running-in, the crew's efficiency has improved a little. Although he will adjust the camera position and re-set the scene in many scenes to make up for the mistakes caused by insufficient experience, in general, it is much smoother than the first week of the startup.
Having a director experience can still be of some help.
Especially in Shen Lin's plan, the length of the last release version of the film is about 110 minutes, and he will not shoot many shots that are unnecessary and consume film and funds.
Although he doesn't need to worry too much about finances, he can save as much as possible, right?
Of course, there is no intention of saving money in places where money should be spent.
For example, the special effects of major earthquakes.
In fact, there is only one special effects shot in the whole movie, which is the house collapsed.
Chen Lin is preparing to take a picture of the house shattering!
After the morning shooting, there was no lunch. Chen Lin took several teams including photography, special effects, etc. to leave the crew in several cars and rushed to a small town on the edge of Tong County. A few days ago, the crew found a separate house that was about to be demolished and suitable for shooting.
I bought some snacks on the way to fill my stomach.
I soon arrived at the eastmost point, turned into a fork in the road, drove for about five minutes, and finally stopped in front of a white wooden house.
The house is not big, which is just over 100 square meters. Because the crew just repaired it a few days ago, the house is not dilapidated from the outside. The most important thing is that the house is quite far away from the surrounding neighbors.
All the procedures were completed, and after a group of people got off the bus, they immediately started to be busy.
The fireworks team was busy arranging explosives, while Chen Lin directed the camera team to arrange camera positions.
This is a field shooting, and there is no chance to call 'cut' to come back!
"Old Deng, arrange the No. 1 and No. 2 on the front."
Standing on the lawn in front of the house, Chen Lin told the photography director Wendi Deng, "These two cameras are shot using wide angles. The No. 3 and No. 4 are respectively arranged at an angle of 45 degrees in a diagonal direction to capture the close-up scene after the house collapses. Also, what about the wireless high-definition camera I want?"
“It’s ready.”
Wendi Deng asked Chen Lin to take a look at the prepared high-definition camera.
“This is the No. 5.”
Chen Lin looked at the dummy who was wearing a police uniform on the side, "put the camera on it."
It is obvious that Chen Lin wants to use it to capture the scene after the internal collapse.
Just as Wendi Deng was about to leave, Chen Lin grabbed his arm and reminded, "The camera must be arranged fifty meters away!"
Although he attaches great importance to this shooting, Chen Lin does not want a tragedy.
Chapter completed!
