Chapter 1121 Preliminary Test

The entire studio was carrying out various tasks in an orderly manner under the command of Tan Yue.

"Be sure to pay attention to safety."

Tan Yue kept repeating this sentence while holding the walkie-talkie.

Although the water level in this place was very shallow, even less than one meter, the hull was very high.

The potential danger was very great.

Two ambulances were parked not far from the studio, so that they could be handled immediately when an accident occurred.

"Director Tan, does the camera position in this place need to be adjusted?" asked a member of the camera crew.

The camera position in this place has been adjusted all the time, but it has never achieved the best effect.

Tan Yue looked at the picture displayed on the monitor, frowned, and said, "It's still not working."

Everyone was a little embarrassed for a while.

"Take a look here." Tan Yue picked up the walkie-talkie and went to the camera position at this point.

A staff member nodded in response and looked at the picture carefully.

After half an hour of discussion, Tan Yue, several assistant directors and the camera crew finally solved the problem.

The various tasks before starting the filming were a very complicated preparation process. The crew members continued to be busy after lunch until more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Director Tan, all preparations are complete."

"Let's go and take a look first."

In order to present a good visual effect, this shooting is very different from previous shootings. Many special effects and various split shots are required.

Once any mistakes occur, it is not an easy task to remedy them later.

Therefore, before shooting, it is necessary to ensure that no details are wrong.

Tan Yue first checked the bow, and then checked the photographic equipment and radio equipment.

The final picture presented by the monitor was not missed.

Tan Yue, standing in front of the monitor, picked up the intercom and said: "All teams, please reply if you receive it."

"Camera No. 1 received it."

"Camera No. 2 received it."

"."

Hearing the answer, Tan Yue said: "Each team will conduct the last inspection. After five minutes, we will test shoot first to see the effect."

The purpose of the test shoot is of course to confirm whether each equipment and instrument can operate normally.

Tan Yue was not idle either, sitting in front of the monitor and watching several pictures.

The pictures presented will be slightly different due to different shooting angles.

Five minutes is just a blink of an eye.

Tan Yue said on the intercom: "Each group reports their own situation."

"Camera No. 1 is normal."

"Camera No. 2 is normal."

Each group reports in turn.

After hearing that there was no problem, Tan Yue pressed the button on the intercom and said: "The equipment is fine. Let's start the test shoot. The assistant director asked the two actors to go over."

"Got it, got it."

Tan Yue continued to stare at the monitor.

Soon the two actors appeared in front of the camera.

Because it was not a formal shoot, two actors were randomly found. They did not need to perform anything, just stand under the camera.

Tan Yue picked up the intercom and said: "Camera No. 2, are you in the previously scheduled position now?"

"Yes, Director Tan."

"Move your position forward half a meter." Tan Yue stared at the monitor: "Stop, this is the position, remember your current position, don't move."

The intercom came with a "Got it" sound.

Tan Yue said: "The two actors talk, I'll listen to the sound effect."

The final debugging work before shooting was going on step by step.

On the other side, the temporary shed was very busy, with a dressing room, prop room, and dressing room.

In one room, Liu Qian was acting with Li Youfan.

After nearly two months of running-in, the two of them have already had a good understanding.

"Sister Qian, I always feel that there is something missing in this scene."

Now Li Youfan just calls her "Sister Qian".

It's mainly because Liu Qian thinks that the title "Teacher Liu" seems a bit old, and she feels that she has not reached the standard of "teacher".

"This scene is the sublimation of the relationship between the two people, look at this place"

Now that the filming is about to begin, the two people can no longer simply go through the scene like before, but need to go into the plot and carefully analyze the changes in the emotions.

The knock on the door interrupted the two.

"Is Teacher Liu Xi in there?"

The agent sitting next to him opened the door and said, "She's in there."

"All the equipment on the set has been debugged, and Director Tan let us in."

"I'll go over now."

The assistant director saw Li Youfan there and said, "Teacher Li, come with us."

"Okay."

Under the leadership of the assistant director, Liu Xi, Li Youfan and their group came to the set.

"Director Tan." Liu Xi greeted.

"Director Tan Tan." Li Youfan wanted to call "Boss Tan", but then he thought that this was a set, and everyone else called Tan Yue "Director Tan".

"Pack up the things over there." Tan Yue turned around and said, "How are you guys preparing?"

"There shouldn't be any big problems." Liu Xi deliberately emphasized the word "should" when she spoke.

Although her acting skills are already very good, Tan Yue has always had high standards for movies, and whether there are any problems can only be known during filming.

Li Youfan did not reply, and he was even more uncertain.

Tan Yue said: "Today's shooting is mainly about adaptation. Don't worry about NG. Everyone needs to get familiar with each other. You two can act freely."

"Okay." Liu Qian replied.

Li Youfan nodded.

"Let me tell you about this scene first." Tan Yue flipped through the script and suddenly asked: "Have you ever been in love?"

Liu Qian and Li Youfan shook their heads at the same time after hearing this.

Tan Yue smiled and asked: "With your looks, didn't you have a relationship when you were in college?"

Liu Qian tried: "Does it count if you only dated for a month?"

"It counts as just barely."

Li Youfan continued to shake his head. He became a top star a long time ago, and dating has always been forbidden.

"This scene is your first meeting." In the following period of time, Tan Yue described the scene that was about to be filmed.

The two listened carefully.

Li Youfan felt that his heartbeat was accelerating.

Since he came to the set, his heart has never calmed down.

He was very worried that he would not perform well during the filming, resulting in constant NG, thus delaying the progress of the filming.

Although Li Youfan can clearly feel that his acting skills are improving during this period, this time he is filming Tan Yue's movie.

Li Youfan keeps adjusting his breathing, trying to calm himself down and get into the state of acting.

But the more he adjusts, the more confused his mood becomes, and bad scenes keep appearing in front of him.

Li Youfan pinched his fingers hard, and his index finger had completely lost its color.

Tan Yue asked: "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"It seems that I understand." Liu Qian frowned slightly.

"Then we will make adjustments while shooting." In Tan Yue's view, it is completely normal to have no progress today.

"Do we still need to rehearse the play?" Liu Qian asked.

"Let's start shooting directly, and you can also find the feeling of the lens."

Liu Qian gestured and said: "OK!"

Tan Yue picked up the walkie-talkie: "All departments are ready, start shooting."

As the assistant director shouted "Irrelevant personnel leave the set" with a loudspeaker, the crew members, makeup artists, and agents left quickly.

Tan Yue came to the monitor: "Let's start."

The script supervisor held a board in front of the lens of camera No. 1: "Titanic, first shot, first scene, action!"

Compared to Liu Qian, Li Youfan obviously hadn't gotten into the state yet.

But Tan Yue didn't call a halt, and continued to watch the two people's performance in front of the monitor.

After all, they didn't let the two people act together, and this shooting was mainly to see the problems of the two of them first.

A few minutes later.

Tan Yue said: "Click!"

At this moment, Li Youfan's brain seemed to have just reacted, and he looked at a loss.

He knew that his problem was very serious. Not to mention passing, he didn't get into the role at all. The performance just now was just reading the lines, without any physical movements or changes in his eyes.

Li Youfan saw Tan Yue coming over and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tan, Director Tan."

In a hurry, he called the wrong name again, and now he wanted to slap himself twice.

"Why are you so nervous?" Tan Yue asked softly.

"It's my first time acting in your play, and I'm worried that I'll make mistakes."

Tan Yue said indifferently: "Who doesn't make mistakes? Even the best actor in the world can't get it right in one take. Don't worry about not filming well. If you make a mistake, we can NG and reshoot. Don't be nervous."

Li Youfan said "hmm" and adjusted his mood.

Tan Yue said: "Let's talk about the problem between you two first."

"Youfan, you are completely out of state, which makes your body and emotions completely inconsistent with the character's personality. Adjust your state well." Tan Yue continued: "Liu Qian, do you know where your problem is?"

Liu Qian answered without hesitation: "The lines are a bit stiff, and the emotions are not released."

Tan Yue nodded and said: "Yes, there is another problem. There is no communication between you and Youfan."

"Director Tan, blame me for this." Li Youfan took all the responsibility directly: "I didn't catch Sister Qian's play just now."

"I am also responsible."

Tan Yue said: "The play is fed to each other. Give you some time to readjust and we will continue filming."

Li Youfan and Liu Qian acted together.

Tan Yue returned to the monitor and adjusted the equipment through the intercom.

During the shooting just now, he felt that there was something wrong with the camera.

After the adjustment, continue shooting.

Liu Qian's skills are needless to say, and it is obviously much better after the adjustment.

Actors also need time to adapt to the camera.

Li Youfan is no longer too nervous, and gradually gets into the state in the repeated shooting.

But his acting skills are still a little worse, and most of the problems in the shooting appear on him.

More than an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

Liu Qian and Li Youfan stood behind Tan Yue and looked at the monitor.

Tan Yue said: "Youfan, your emotional expression needs to be more delicate, otherwise this section will appear more abrupt."

Li Youfan nodded.

His current state is already very good, but his acting skills are still a little worse, and he has not achieved the desired effect.

Tan Yue glanced at the time and said: "Everyone take a break first, and continue shooting at the party."

The equipment doesn't matter, the main thing is the actors, who will be a little tired from filming all the time.

What's more, it's the first day of filming, so not only the actors, but also the crew's status will need some time to adjust.

"You guys should go back and take a rest first."

"OK."

Liu Qian and Li Youfan left together.

Tan Yue also stood up and directed the staff on site to fine-tune some equipment.

Li Youfan did not go back to the dressing room to rest, but came to the beach not far away, sat down and stared at the sea water in a daze.

He always thought that after these years of hard work, his acting skills had improved a lot, and during this period, he kept asking veteran actors for advice on acting skills.

But this afternoon, more than an hour of filming gave him a direct blow.

Only then did he realize that there were still too many problems with his acting skills. No wonder every time a film or television work was released, there would always be many comments mocking his acting skills on the Internet.

Li Youfan frowned, and the confidence he had re-established before collapsed and disintegrated.

He began to doubt his acting skills and whether he was suitable to continue his career as an actor.

As the sea breeze blew by, Li Youfan closed his eyes. Now that he thought about the fantasy he had the day he just got the script, he suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

Back to the top?

Back to the top again?

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Youfan turned his head, slightly surprised: "Director Tan."

Just as he was about to stand up, he was stopped.

Tan Yue sat down and said, "Let me tell you the story of Teacher Ma Guoliang."

He knew that this blow was very serious to Li Youfan and he needed encouragement.

"Previously, Mr. Ma only played some very small guest roles in various major productions. We can't say that he is a supporting role, he can only be said to be a passer-by."

Li Youfan nodded, he knew something about this matter.

"I remember he said something like this: Every time he plays a role, he feels like he is experiencing a person's life. Although they are all small and inconspicuous roles, he takes each one seriously. As long as it is during filming, he will take it seriously. He immersed himself in the role, which also made it difficult for him to get out of the play after filming was completed. "

"Now Mr. Ma is envied by countless artists, not only because of my movies, but also because of his own hard work and persistence. You can't become fat by eating one bite. You have to take one step at a time in everything and never be impatient."

As the sea breeze blew by, Tan Yue patted Li Youfan on the shoulder: "I chose you to be the leading actor in my new movie because I think your acting skills are good. I believe you can do it."

After speaking, Tan Yue stood up and left.

Li Youfan took a deep breath, his eyes gradually became firm, and he got up and ran to the set.

"Start shooting."

Tan Yue looked at Li Youfan's performance on the monitor and showed a happy smile.

Li Youfan's condition is obviously much better and he is able to devote himself more to the role.

He believes that after filming "Titanic", Li Youfan will definitely undergo a transformation.
