Chapter 27 Let's warm up first

Filming by the crew usually runs counter to their normal schedule.

Especially for the crew of "White Night", there are many night scenes, so most of the shooting focus is at night.

Coupled with the Mid-Autumn Festival two days ago, a bunch of people are more or less suffering from holiday syndrome.

If it gets on the pillow, you won't be able to get up.

You finish work at 2:30, so you have to sleep for four or five hours, right?

"I've been sleeping so hard these past few days during the Mid-Autumn Festival that I haven't even had breakfast. Whoever can get up this early in the morning will be my grandchild, that is, you, the director..."

"Don't brag if you don't know how to praise others." Wang Wei had a straight face, looking unreasonable.

Everyone wears different masks when facing different people. Wang Wei, Chen Zhixing and the others look like a clown when mixed together, but in front of the tough guys on the crew, he can't let go of his airs for a moment.

He really knows that if you give these people three points of color, they will dare to open a dyeing workshop.

"If you have something to say, if nothing happens, get to work as soon as possible."

"I have something to do." The substitute rubbed his hands, "I want to take a leave."

"Want to ask for leave again?" Wang Wei frowned.

In addition to Chen Zhixing and other major actors, it is he, the special double, who has the most important responsibility.

He is Chen Zhixing's exclusive stand-in.

One person plays two roles, and it is inevitable that the two characters will be on the same screen during filming.

This is a great test of the actor's rhythm and positioning ability. In order to shoot smoothly, the crew usually equips a stand-in with a similar body shape to the actor, and then cuts it out during post-editing.

If he asks for leave, Chen Zhixing's shooting content will have to change accordingly.

"I'm going on a blind date today." The stuntman looked embarrassed, "As you know, I'm already over thirty, and if I don't have a family..."

"Another blind date? How long?"

"Only tomorrow afternoon." The stuntman looked happy and said, "Be right back."

"Go quickly, don't come back if you don't succeed this time!"

"Guaranteed to complete the task."

Chen Zhixing sipped his tea and raised his head to listen to Wang Wei's narration.

"That's the situation. Let's see if this play needs to be rescheduled."

Before Chen Zhixing could reply, he added again: "My suggestion is not to change it. We have to find a record. We can't always point to a substitute. If he has a headache and a fever, won't our crew just shut down?"

"Well, that makes sense." Chen Zhixing nodded clearly.

"No problem?" Wang Wei was a little worried.

Chen Zhixing spat out a mouthful of tea foam and said, "There will be no problem tomorrow."

...

"Hello? Are you there? Teacher Feng?...Old Feng? An Jiahe?"

Entering the dreamland was already a familiar process, and Chen Zhixing finally determined one thing. In this dreamland, Feng Yuanzheng really had no way to deal with him.

"Ah, Teacher Feng, you scared me."

Like a ghost, Feng Yuanzheng stood behind Chen Zhixing in a daze, his eyes as unblinking as a dead fish, staring at him making him feel uncomfortable.

"I don't usually burn incense, I just improvise. Today is a two-character performance and the same rhythm on the screen."

Chen Zhixing likes his neatness in getting straight to the point.

"There are two key points in dual-role performance." Feng Yuanzheng held out two fingers. "The first is the imaginary opponent. This module is a great test of positioning and rhythm. There are no shortcuts in training positioning and rhythm. You can only practice it over and over again.

"

Seeing a hint of disappointment on Chen Zhixing's face, Feng Yuanzheng added: "But it can't be said that there is nothing we can do."

"Teacher Pan, can we finish talking at once?"

"Don't be impatient. I'll play it for you first, and you can watch it with the camera."

Chen Zhixing immediately understood that the easiest way to control the lens is to control the direction of the lens.

Admiring the simplicity and ingenuity of this method, Chen Zhixing walked towards the photographer.

"Xiaoxue, give me the camera."

"Oh." Photography assistant Xiaoxue immediately handed over the camera.

Except for Teacher Pan, everyone in this dream seemed to be puppets with no emotions.

It's a bit inappropriate to say they are puppets, they are more like Pan Yueming's teaching aids.

Standing behind the camera, Chen Zhixing felt that his vision was limited to this four-dimensional world.

It looks big, but is actually very small.

Even if you adjust the focus, you will still feel crowded.

Feng Yuanzheng is standing at the edge of the camera, as if if he moves a little more violently, he will walk out of the frame.

However, he managed this subtle distance just right.

"Do you understand?"

"I understand it, but I don't understand it completely."

Feng Yuanzheng shook his head, somewhat lamenting the other party's poor learning ability.

Chen Zhixing is truly worthy of being a different kind of genius created by Ti Hai Tactics. Others rely on understanding, while he grinds hard.

"When performing, you must have the concept of the frame in your mind. Generally, the ratio of TV dramas is 16:9, but this drama is 2.39:1, which has reached the level of the big screen, so you need to have a more precise ratio.

Positioning ability.”

"understood."

Chen Zhixing nodded, he only knew a little about the control of the camera.

On the theatrical stage, the requirements for positioning are actually not as high as in movies, as long as they are within the sight of the audience.

Although it is said that the audience has the best viewing angle, theater seats are generally distributed in a concave shape, which takes care not only of the audience facing the stage, but more importantly, the performance of the lines and body.

"You have to feel this for yourself. The second step will be more difficult."

"At the end of the script, there will be a meaningful smile, with a face that is half steady and half unruly. This is very difficult."

Chen Zhixing is hard to listen to, let alone perform.

"So you have to be well prepared. We will start with expression management to mobilize all aspects of your emotions, and then control your face precisely, especially the details of the mouth and corners of the eyes."

Feng Yuanzheng sighed, "This is the soul of the whole show. Before this, all the two roles were superficial. It is precisely because of this shot that the two characters with completely different personalities are indistinguishable from each other."

Chen Zhixing's understanding of the plot can be considered to be very clear. Teacher Pan spoke to this point, and he also understood the meaning of this paragraph.

In fact, playing two roles was never a way to test acting skills, it was just a publicity stunt.

Not to mention Liu Shishi in Sword and Sword III, he also played the litmus paper version of Solanum nigrum.

Even a certain crazy critic played two roles in "The Era of the Victorious Girl".

Even in the detective drama, Zhang Weijian also played the black and white version in "Detective Fang Miu".

But none of them have the character to hype their acting skills, but "White Night" did it, and the evil smile in the last scene must have contributed a lot.

"You have to eat your food one bite at a time. Don't be too ambitious. We will proceed step by step and we will succeed."

Feng Yuanzheng followed suit: "Let's do the positioning and rhythm performance first."
