Chapter 211 Must Be Reshot

"Teacher Wang, later I will walk from the steps on the left to behind the tree on the right. When I walk to the edge of the flower bed, I will look towards the camera. Please help me catch my eyes."

"After I turn around, please, Teacher Wang, please shift the camera to my sleeves. The focus is on the buttons on the cuffs, because the buttons have Fenghua Clothing's trademark pattern on them."

Li Ye explained to the cameraman and was ready to try to see how much of the handsome guy he could replicate.

The cameraman, Master Wang, said a little embarrassedly: "Everything else is fine, but I can't take a picture of the pattern on your button."

Li Ye said: "That's okay. From now on, we can use camera editing to reflect the Fenghua Clothing trademark."

"That's alright," Master Wang said with a smile, "I was just talking nonsense to a few sisters, saying that you are the most suitable costume performer."

Li Ye quickly said modestly: "No, no, I was just on a whim, trying to make a movie while everyone was resting."

Li Ye had long noticed that the middle-aged actors who came out with the photographer Lao Wang were not the extras that would be grabbed by a certain store in the later generations. Just by listening to their accents, he knew that although they were part-timers, they were still part-timers. But he is a real actor.

So Li Ye didn't have any intention of showing off.

Some people may think that Jingcheng dialect is very close to Mandarin, but the difference is not that big if you don’t pay attention. In fact, it is quite different.

Just say it! If he were an authentic Beijinger, he would speak so fast that outsiders might not be able to understand what they were saying.

In his last life, Li Ye met one in the game. They all formed a group to play a dungeon, and it turned out that the boy in charge of the command was from the capital city, and he talked quickly about Beijing movies.

After Li Ye listened, he felt like he understood, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to not understand a word. The accent was so authentic that you had to guess what he said.

Therefore, at this time in 1983, anyone who could speak Mandarin close to broadcasting level must have worked hard and should not be underestimated.

Li Ye went to the temporary dressing room to change his clothes. When he came out, he found that everyone had not rested and was waiting behind the camera to watch!

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw Li Ye wearing new clothes.

Especially Wen Leyu and Wen Guohua were the most enthusiastic.

Li Ye seemed to see something shiny in Wen Leyu's big eyes.

But looking at Wen Guohua's eyes, why does it feel like he is watching a monkey show?

[Hey, you thought the girls you hooked up with were walking in a standard way, and I was in a wild way? 】

Li Ye didn't have any stage fright. He walked down the steps steadily and fastened a button on his abdomen. He behaved calmly and generously, like an elite who was about to leave for work in the morning.

He walked past a Volga car that was specially rented as the background, and past the newly green jasmine flowers. When he passed the flower bed, he casually looked towards the camera.

Casual and natural are what Li Ye wants to embody.

The actors of this era understood the form of performance very differently from that of later generations.

For example, when watching "Garland Under the Mountain", when the actors are emotional, they will use violent body movements, pumping their fists and stamping their feet to express their inner indignation.

This method can arouse the audience's resonance very well, feel the emotions that the actors want to express, and advance the plot better.

A few decades later, when actors want to express their emotions, they mostly use expressions, eyes, and natural or subtle movements to express and render an "ordinary reality."

For example, the look in Huang Bo's eyes when he said he was a murderer, or Fan Wei's performance of eating instant noodles while smoking, chewing fish bones and adding lines, were so natural and smooth.

Li Ye can't say which of these two methods of expression is better, but the first method used in Li Ye's advertisement always makes him feel like he has used too much force, which is not perfect.

So he gave it a try to see if it could have some guiding effect.

It turns out that Li Ye underestimated several supporting actors from Beijing Film Studio.

As soon as he finished taking this photo, people started talking.

"Oh, that's what you want! You told me earlier! It made us film it over and over again."

"That's right, little brother, if you had demonstrated it to us earlier, how much less film would we have to waste?"

"Well, if the movie is played in slow motion, it might actually be interesting."

"But don't tell me, this young man is really handsome. It's a pity that he was admitted to Beijing University, otherwise he would definitely be admitted to our unit."

"What does it mean to be admitted to Beijing University? Is it a pity that your child was admitted to Beijing University?"

"Oh, I just said it's a pity. It's a pity, do you understand?"

"It's really a pity. It's a pity to lose such a good body."

The several supporting actors joked around for a while, and then walked back and forth several times. When the actual filming started, the feeling was indeed different from before.

The natural demeanor and enthusiastic smile of a man in his thirties or forties made Li Ye feel a sense of "vigor" and express his yearning for a better life.

Yes, a professional is a professional. It’s not that I don’t know how to act, but today’s movies don’t need this kind of “close to reality” performance.

Those models, on the other hand, couldn't change their state for a long time.

They are used to staring straight ahead, defiantly walking past, and their ability to grasp the subtle expressions on their faces is really unsatisfactory.

In the end, Li Ye had no choice but to say to them: "Imagine yourselves, you are casually shopping, and suddenly you see a handsome young man whistling at you on the side of the road.

Then you gave him an indifferent look, then turned around and waved gently at him. "

Li Ye demonstrated several standard street photography moves of later generations. Although they have become commonplace in later generations, since they fit the traffic code, they must have their merits.

Then, the performance of those female models was a little better, but when they looked at the "handsome young man" and then showed their "cold eyes", they were not looking at the camera, but at Wen Guohua.

Li Ye had no choice but to pull Wen Guohua and let him stand by the camera.

Wen Leyu's eyes narrowed, and while he was alert, his sly eyes kept searching his brother's body, as if he was looking for which piece of meat was fatter, and he had to take the opportunity to stab him.

"Let's go and see the effect of slow playback."

After filming this scene, everyone was eager to see the before and after comparison.

After finding a place to play, developing and debugging the original film several times, and struggling for a long time to find the appropriate slow playback speed, the difference between before and after was really apparent.

Jin Peng came close to Li Ye and whispered: "Xiao Ye, I feel that you are more suitable than those professionals. How about you be the protagonist?"

But Li Ye said: "Let's forget it, my family doesn't want to."

Jin Peng said in surprise: "The family is not willing? You didn't ask Master or Uncle, how do you know they are not willing?"

But Jin Peng quickly swallowed back the rest of his words.

Because Wen Leyu, who was sitting on the left side of Li Ye, had already glanced at him with cold eyes.

Yes, it turned out to be this "family member", so he really couldn't be offended.

Li Ye tilted his head and looked at Wen Leyu, curled his lips, then reached out and quietly held Wen Leyu's hand.

Wen Leyu clenched his hands behind his back, pursed his lips and smiled, showing a "telepathic" smile.

In her eyes, Li Ye is a future economist, a future leader of a large unit, a future but not a movie star.

Li Ye obviously has a star-level appearance, but Wen Leyu believes that his "inner excellence" is far more important than his outer appearance.

Li Ye quietly said to Wen Leyu: "The background music of the commercial has not been decided yet. You have a talent for music. You will give us your ideas when the time comes."

Wen Leyu nodded repeatedly.

She must support her family's business from the bottom of her heart.

However, after watching the slow-motion effect, the cameraman, Master Wang, and the supporting actors approached Jin Peng with some embarrassment.

"Manager Jin, the scenes we shot in the front are not uniform in style compared to the ones in the last row. Do you think we need to reshoot them?"

"Of course, that's what I'm thinking too!" Jin Peng said quickly: "As long as a few teachers are willing, I'm more than happy to do it. Other teachers, please don't worry, our subsidy is calculated on a daily basis, and you can shoot for as many days as you like. How many days will it take to shoot?”

"We're not asking for subsidies," the cameraman said with some embarrassment: "The main reason is that too much film was wasted. There are still several expected scenes later, and it will definitely not be enough."

"There are no restrictions on film," Jin Peng said immediately: "You don't have to worry about the film. If it doesn't work, I will find someone to send it by airmail from Hong Kong Island.

It is very likely that our commercial will be broadcast in Southeast Asia and even Juhua. We only pursue quality and do not consider cost. "

"."

As soon as Jin Peng finished speaking, the cameraman's mouth opened wide.

The supporting actors in the back also looked shocked. Even Wen Guohua was trembling and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.

"Is this film about Southeast Asia going to be broadcast overseas?"

The cameraman's voice rose an octave higher, with a subtle vibrato.

"It's like this," Jin Peng said: "Our Fenghua brand clothing is produced by us on Hong Kong Island. It is mainly exported overseas, and a small part will be sold in our mainland.

Originally, Hong Kong Island shot a commercial film, but after we at Pengcheng Factory No. 7 watched it, we felt it was really hard to explain, so we decided to fight for it, shoot it ourselves, and shoot it better than those others. "

"."

"Are you really lying?"

"It's just that I seem to have been fooled by the flower photographer."

Several extras were still doubtful, but Jin Peng simply brought the Hong Kong video to them and played it.

"What was this shot? There are no sound, channels, cameras, or clocks. It's just a waste of film."

"Isn't that right? The old man guarding the gate in our unit is better at acting than them."

Jin Peng smiled and said to everyone: "Now everyone believes me! But don't put any pressure on everyone. We have already taken a good shot just now. If we take a few more shots, I think it will be perfect."

"Young man, you should have told me earlier! There was a detail I just didn't use well. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you and sent overseas?"

"We have to reshoot, all of them. We don't have to give up any subsidies or not, but this film must be the best. If it doesn't work, we can ask the factory leaders to bring in some help."

The mentality of several supporting actors has been completely different. They originally thought it was just a small private job to earn some pocket money to buy new clothes for their children. But in the blink of an eye, how did it rise to this level?

Li Ye quietly warned Jin Peng: "The performances of these teachers are very natural. If those big names come over, the performance marks are too heavy and it may not be suitable. You have to grasp the scale."

Jin Peng nodded and said: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart. Little people also have their own dreams. They just say that and won't let others steal the limelight."

Li Ye nodded in agreement.

At this time, Wen Guohua came over and asked with a smile: "Are you going to go global with this commercial?"

Li Ye looked at him and said with a smile: "It's just possible, but it will definitely be played in the mainland."

"Well, it might be the most suitable, haha."

Wen Guohua felt that there was no need to mention Li Ye anymore, because Li Ye should understand that if it involves overseas broadcasting, the review procedures will be difficult!
