Chapter 1023 Sampan
It's cold in New York in November.
If it's by the sea, it's even colder.
But whether it is due to the needs of the plot, or considering the image and beauty of the actors when they appear on the big screen, it is impossible to allow the actors to wear too thick costumes for shooting at this time.
Even in order to highlight the actor's beautiful body line, he had to deliberately wear less clothes-this is two concepts with selling meat. After all, no one can deny the attractiveness of the actor's appearance and figure to the audience. Always great. Otherwise, the heroine of the movie would not have to deliberately choose some good-looking young girls.
What's more, Qin Jingjing is a famous beauty.
It's just that actors will suffer a little bit.
After the "Autumn Fairy Tale" crew came to New York, they first finished processing a few scattered shots that needed to be shot on the street after coordinating with the local police station, and then went to the beach to shoot on the beach. While waiting for the notice from the airport, I was ready to go to the airport reception hall and take shots outside the reception hall at any time.
This is the case with film shooting, but costume films are better. There are studios for indoor films, and film studios for outdoor films. Outdoor scenes are either in bright mountains and beautiful waters, or in the Gobi desert. They are places where there are no people, and they are all easy to deal with. But modern urban dramas are more troublesome. If the director still insists on filming on location, it will be even more troublesome. If the location of the filming is still in the United States, or in a big city like New York, then it will be even more troublesome.
Fortunately, Minghu culture has already established some roots in the United States.
John Deiss is an old guy who has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years, and has been a producer for more than ten years. He has rich experience in dealing with governments, police stations, and tax bureaus in the United States and around the world, while Du Yihua It was not in vain to come to the United States to stay for a year.
If it doesn't work, you can also ask Colombia to help clear it up - when it comes to dealing with all levels of government in the United States, Colombia is even more qualified.
It's just that the time needs to be coordinated, and everything has to go according to other people's timetable.
For example, if the entrance of the reception hall in New York Airport is blocked for two hours for filming, it is definitely not something that anyone can say to seal it. Even the management of the airport has to make certain adjustments according to the flight situation. It can only be done during a period of time when the execution difficulty is relatively low-the key is according to the script of "Autumn Fairy Tale", where Chuan Touchi still has to show off his driving skills, and the requirement must be during the day.
Li Qian shaved off the stubble from the shooting a few days ago, put on a neat suit again, let the makeup artist play with his face for a while, and reshaped his hair, and took a picture of himself Looking at the mirror, he felt that he looked handsome in a suit, so he walked out of the trailer.
On the beach, Lu Lingxi was wrapped in a down jacket and sat in the director's chair, but the two girls, one big and one small holding hands at the beach, were both wearing thinner clothes—the little girl was better, the crew was really afraid that she would blow it off. She was sick, so she was allowed to wear a coat on purpose, but Qin Jingjing was really just a T-shirt, and even if she had a coat, she could only hang it on her arm and not put it on.
The wind by the sea is very cool.
Li Qian walked to the back of the monitor and watched the performance of the two girls, one big and one small, in the monitor camera. The sea breeze blowing Qin Jingjing's hair, I have to say that she is really beautiful.
But this shot made Lu Lingxi not very satisfied.
She didn't seem to notice that Li Qian was standing behind her at all, and after yelling "Ka", she got up and walked over, explained something to Qin Jingjing, then squatted down on purpose, and said something to the little actor , and then turned around and walked back - at this time she suddenly saw Li Qian.
"Tsk tsk!"
Li Qian was standing there in a suit, her eyes lit up, she clicked her tongue twice, she didn't know what she wanted to express, then went back to her director's chair without saying anything, picked up the amplifier Sound horn, "All of them are there, do it again, pay attention to it, let's try to do it again!"
At this time, Qin Nuo ran over with a long down jacket, and whispered to Li Qian, "It's so cold, put it on quickly! You can take it off later when you're photographed!"
Li Qian himself didn't feel too cold, after all he was wearing a suit jacket, but he obediently stretched out his arms and asked her to put the down jacket on for him.
"ready, go!"
Everyone started to move, a few American boys who were specially called for the background, walked around the beach in cool clothes, and some people held surfboards in their hands, regardless of whether this place is really suitable for surfing, anyway. The audience feels that this is the seaside of the United States.
Both Qin Jingjing and the little girl were barefoot. Qin Jingjing was holding her trouser legs, wearing a gray cotton T-shirt, a coat on one shoulder, and holding the little girl with the other hand, and the little girl simply He was wearing shorts, but he was wearing a coat on his upper body, and he was half holding a kite in his arms.
The two walked hand in hand on the beach, and gradually came into the camera.
"Anna, do you like it here?"
"Like it! Let's come and live here during the summer vacation, okay?"
"Okay!" Qin Jingjing replied with a smile. She looked around, a little fascinated, "We can move a stool at night, sit on the beach, and enjoy the shade facing the Atlantic Ocean."
The little girl Anna kept looking up at her. She said: "I knew a friend before, and his biggest wish was this. He also wanted to open a restaurant here, called Sampan."
The little girl frowned, "Sampan?"
Qin Jingjing nodded, "Sampan."
The little girl didn't seem to understand what the name meant, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly raised her finger to the distance ahead, and asked, "Sister, is it like the one over there?"
Qin Jingjing smiled, turned her head, her smile faltered quickly, and then, the expression on her face changed rapidly, from astonishment, to surprise, and then to a calm smile.
This is a medium shot, that is to say, when Qin Jingjing and the little girl playing Anna appear in the shot, they only take the upper body, and behind them, occupying more of the whole shot is the sweeping Atlantic Ocean. The wave of waves—theoretically speaking, such shots are mainly narrative, and the most important thing for actors in such shots is to express the plot and push the story forward.
And only close-up shots of a single person, especially close-up shots of the face or upper body, especially when such close-up shots are taken for a long time, are often when the emotion of a play has reached a critical moment, or it has reached a critical moment. It's time to make a turning point and a great breakthrough. In such a close-up shot, the focus of the whole picture is on the actor's face-this is the time to really test the actor's acting skills.
But Qin Jingjing is not.
Even in such a medium shot, her face appears on the screen, occupying a very small proportion of the frame, but she still easily occupies the absolute focus of the entire shot, and the expression on her face changes subtly and vividly , fully expressing the emotional transformation that Lu Lingxi asked her to have at this moment.
This is the absolute performance skills of an actor.
Even if it is only in the middle of the camera, it will still give you a full expression scene.
"Crack!" After Lu Lingxi finished shouting, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's over!"
Standing behind her, Li Qian smiled.
He knew what she was hesitating about.
Qin Jingjing's performance just now was great, but for this movie, it still seems a little too aggressive-although it was shot first, this scene is actually the last few minutes in the whole movie The plot is over, the next thing to be filmed, the actor Chuan Touchi stands at the door of the "Sampan" restaurant and invites the heroine Li Qi to enter. This is already the last scene of the whole movie.
At the end of the whole movie, Qin Jingjing's performance was a little bit too much, of course it is not impossible, and in fact she just went a little bit too far, it is not serious, when this movie is on the big screen During the screening, all the shots were flashed by, and the audience actually had no time to carefully distinguish whether the performance of the heroine in this shot was a little too much-but for Lu Lingxi, the performance of this performance is just It's really somewhere between "it's barely usable" and "it doesn't seem to be that interesting".
However, it was too cold and the wind was strong, she was really afraid that the two actors would not be able to bear it.
After she yelled "It's over", a large group of actors by the sea rushed over one by one. The two main actors were fine, but the American boys who were in charge of acting as the background heard the show manager shouting "It's over" in English. ", hurried back and quickly put on the thick cotton clothes.
And Qin Jingjing took the little girl's hand and ran back together. The staff of the crew rushed up to meet her and put the padded clothes on her, while the little girl's mother simply wrapped her daughter in the thick padded clothes. He stopped, and hugged him completely—but the little girl struggled away, jumped to the ground, and ran over here.
"Wow!"
She ran up to Li Qian, staring wide-eyed, and said in a somewhat crappy and jerky Chinese: "Hi Li Qian, my name is Anna, and my Chinese name is Liu Na. . . . You look better in real life than in the photos and the MV. !"
Li Qian smiled, bent slightly to shake hands with her, and said, "Thank you. Hello, Hannah!"
This little girl is of Chinese descent. She is eleven years old this year. She immigrated here four years ago. Lu Lingxi came to the United States ahead of time. Du Yihua issued a lot of audition announcements for the roles through the channel of Dongfangmeng Film Company. The role of Anna, a Chinese girl, will appear, and in the end Lu Lingxi chose this "Anna".
Of course, she is Li Qian's fan and movie fan.
And her mother is also Li Qian's fan and movie fan.
Her mother chased after her and wrapped her in a thick padded jacket. When she looked at Li Qian, the excitement in her eyes was no less than that of her daughter. She said excitedly: "Hello Qian Shao, can we take a photo with you?"
Li Qian smiled and nodded, "Of course, of course!"
So she quickly took out the camera from her bag, and then took the padded jacket that her daughter handed over again.
First, Li Qian and Xiao Anna took a group photo, then the three of them took a group photo, and finally, she expressed that she wanted to take a photo with Li Qian alone. When the photo was taken, both mother and daughter were overjoyed.
For the next filming, of course, Anna still has a lot of scenes, but today's filming at the seaside, her role is only this scene, but after the group photo, the two of them seemed to discuss something in a low voice, and then stayed.
But at this time, Qin Jingjing was wrapped in cotton clothes, shivering constantly, and said, "It's so cold!"
Then he asked Li Qian, "Is it so cold here in New York?"
In fact, Li Qian didn't understand either. He didn't live in New York all the year round, but he still replied after hearing the words: "Maybe it's mainly because of the seaside? I haven't felt that cold in the city these two days."
Qin Jingjing nodded quickly.
The staff took the hot water cup and handed it over, and she quickly held it in her hand.
At this time, Lu Lingxi had finished watching the replay, stood up, and said: "It's okay. It's just that Jingjing still has the old problem of exerting too much force. How long have you been holding back! It's not like you have nothing to do, as for me Are you holding back here? Then relax, you know?"
Qin Jingjing shuddered and nodded.
Lu Lingxi then turned her head and looked Li Qian up and down, "After shaving his beard, he looks much handsomer. That's... hey, Jingjing, do you think he's actually quite handsome with some stubble?"
Qin Jingjing turned her head, only to notice that Li Qian had shaved his beard, and now he was dressed in formal attire, so handsome that he didn't want to. At that time, her eyes lit up, she nodded subconsciously, and said, "It's very handsome!" Then she shook her head, "I mean, he looks very handsome in a formal suit now!"
But only for a moment, she shook her head again, "What you said is also reasonable. When he grows a beard, he will feel a little bit of vicissitudes, a little... unserious, and even more handsome than now!"
Her point of view changed three times in a short while, which made Lu Lingxi laugh.
She turned her head and asked Li Qian, "Do you feel that since we started playing cards, Jingjing has become a lot more cheerful? She probably wouldn't have praised you for being handsome in front of so many people before!"
Li Qian shook his head with a smile, "Okay, you two, stop talking about me all the time!"
Lu Lingxi and Qin Jingjing both smiled.
Lu Lingxi passed by quickly, commanding the production crew to move their positions, so a large group of people moved to the wooden trestle as a whole——Qin Jingjing's eyes kept drifting over subconsciously.
After the production crew was set up on the trestle bridge, Qin Jingjing seemed to gradually warm up, so she took the initiative to say to Lu Lingxi: "Let's take a shot. I'm fine."
Lu Lingxi nodded and turned to look at Li Qian.
Li Qian immediately took off the padded jacket, handed it to the staff around him, and said, "I can do it anytime."
Lu Lingxi immediately said: "Alright then, Li Qian, you know the script better than me, let's go!"
So Li Qian walked to the door of the restaurant with the "Sampan" signboard and stood still.
This is a reunion and the finale of "Autumn Fairy Tale".
"Everyone is... ready... to start!"
