Chapter 304 303: The actor’s self-cultivation (2)
The layout of the venue was completed, and two torches were burning in the prison. The small space was filled with the smell of kerosene and mold.
"Every team is ready, the actors are in place!"
Django walked in front of the monitor and gave orders.
"First scene, first shot, action!"
Everything is ready and shooting begins.
[Linghu Chong woke up in the cell, looked around, and tested the hardness of the wall with his palms. 】
While Pei Jie was acting, there was a sudden "click".
He sighed secretly. The first shot of the first scene was NG, which felt like a bad start.
Although Jiang Ge shouted "Stop", it was not because Pei Jie's acting was faulty, and it was missing a highly requested prop.
Then he snapped his fingers at Shi Changxin and said, "That thing!"
Shi Changxin said "Oh", trotted out of the prison, and came over a moment later carrying an iron cage.
"ah!"
…
Several female staff members passed by, causing a burst of exclamation.
There were more than a dozen rats in the iron cage, of course, they were artificially raised pet rats.
It's not just for fun. Firstly, it needs to be used in the plot, and secondly, it is reasonable that such a thing should exist in such a prison.
Jiang Ge took the iron cage and carried it towards Pei Jie's cell. When he came to him, he asked, "Are you afraid of that thing?"
Pei Jie shook his head and said, "That's nothing to be afraid of."
Jiang Ge opened the door of the iron cage, took out five and came out, smiling: "Grow some affection with them, and then you can listen to my orders for a while."
Pei Jie had read the script and naturally knew what to do with it, so he said smoothly: "Okay."
Jiang Ge lifted up the iron cage and walked to the cell on the opposite side. Inside, Li Sheng was preparing, "Teacher Li, can you put that little thing in as little as you want?"
As he spoke, he lifted the iron cage slightly, and then explained: "Don't worry, these are not pet rats rented from a pet store."
Li Sheng took a look and said cheerfully: "No problem, he will be hung up later and his legs and arms are still with him. That will be real enough."
After the operation, Django immediately returned to the monitor and started filming the scene again.
[While the guards were delivering food and water, Linghu Chong saw through the small window from the cell door that there seemed to be someone in the cell on the opposite side. His face showed a look of joy and he shouted: "Girl, do you want me?"
Unexpectedly, the guard kicked the food away and cursed: "Bu Zhong has spoken, and if he continues to speak, he will be able to eat!"
Linghu Chong remained silent and looked through the small window. In the light of the torch, he saw a skinny leg tied by an iron chain in the small window on the other side.
He lowered his eyes and thought, and happened to see the mouse eating the food that had been spilled on the ground. He immediately had an idea in his mind. Ma Zaicong tore a large piece of cloth from his clothes and used half of it to write "Is he Linghu Chong? I No one." Tear the halves into strips and connect them into ropes.
He caught a mouse, tied it with a piece of cloth and a cloth rope, and then used pieces of meat in the meal to lure the mouse to the window of the opposite cell. 】
"Click!"
Jiang Ge shouted stop again. In fact, Pei Jie's performance was very good. It looked like he had gone to practice in private, but he was not cooperating at all and refused to go to the wrong side.
what to do?
Change the mouse!
It turned out that after trying them all, it seemed as if they had already agreed upon it. They were motionless, but they were running around blindly.
Django remembered the plot of the original version, but he didn't study whether real mice or fake mice were used in the filming.
Shi Changxin on the side gave a suggestion: "Dr. Jiang, please don't use the fishing line to pull it over, and then make a special effects mouse later?"
Jiang Ge gave him a red look and said, "Don't look at just a few seconds of footage. Special effects cost a lot of money. Try again. If it doesn't work, break down the footage."
Then, he did it again, this time using the most ruthless rations for mice to lure him, but he finally succeeded.
This kind of fussing over details often occurs on the set, ranging from the placement of props, the actor's look, the angle of lighting, etc.
"Details determine success or failure" also applies to film shooting, because details reflect the authenticity of the film. In film language, details are divided into factual details and image details. Specifically, they include plot details, scene details, and object images. Details, sound details, color details, etc.
Only when the details are handled with precision and accuracy can the value of the movie be perfectly presented.
Unfortunately, as the filming progressed, some of Pei Jie's problems gradually emerged.
He performed very well when asking for a one-man show, and he could basically get through with three or four.
But when it came time to perform the wrong-leg scene, I still acted on my own without any interaction.
"Click!"
That was the eleventh time the scene was called to stop. Jiang Ge looked serious and remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "Ten minutes of rest. Pei Jie, I'll come over."
Pei Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he walked over cautiously and said, "Director Jiang, you can't afford to make a mistake."
"I'd like to apologize and ask if the movie can be made well. He can apologize to me." Jiang Ge snarled, then relaxed his tone and said: "In the process of acting on the wrong leg scene, the most important thing is cooperation. If I have my own way of dealing with it, and I always play with the wrong legs, and if I don't feel the feedback they give me, the plot will not be able to be absorbed by the audience. "
He was a little angry, but more resentful: "In the process of playing the wrong leg scene, what is most important is to carefully figure out how to deal with the wrong leg. Only when our rhythms are unified can we It’s up to the storyline and the relationship between the characters to really perform the scene well.”
After saying that, he added: "Remember, don't worry about how you act without asking for anything."
Pei Jie nodded and said, "Director Jiang, he is obviously popular."
However.
One piece.
Another one.
Pei Jie acted very carefully every time and followed Jiang Ge's words to feel the mistakes, but the results were always unsatisfactory.
"Record-breaking, twenty."
"He has experienced the two most NG cases."
"Director Jiang is so strict and patient. If it were another director, he might have scolded me."
"Isn't that okay? He would have exploded earlier."
"Would it be a pain for Gu Yao to perform it over and over again?"
"I have no choice but to stop acting."
…
The crew members started talking quietly.
Django lost his temper, chose the actor himself, and cried and begged to continue.
Pei Jie's mood became more and more depressed, his mind was very confused, and he no longer knew how to take pictures.
Because he has made all the changes and attempts that can be made, but the result is still NG again and again.
However, Pei Jie did not lose confidence. Instead, he aroused his fighting spirit. He continued to figure out how to deal with the wrong leg and constantly adjusted his rhythm.
Gu Yao was very good. She didn't think there was anything wrong with a few more NGs, and she didn't resent Pei Jie's mistakes or Jiang Ge's seriousness.
Jiang Ge doesn’t even think there is any problem with NG’s remake, so he just makes do with it? Is that okay? If one thing doesn't work, then shoot another one. If one day doesn't work, then shoot another day.
