The coordinator's job is to contact each staff member and actor's schedule, separate out the movie scenes, and through careful calculation, arrange the most economical and labor-saving shooting schedule as possible. To use the simplest example, let's start shooting.
On this day, since all the leading actors were present, for the sake of time, we could just skip and shoot the scenes that everyone shared.
Therefore, the scenes that Xiao Ran filmed that day were all group scenes. When Xu Ke announced the next scene to be filmed, Xiao Ran only flipped through the script and remembered it. The next scene was to take over the previous one, with two men and three men.
A scene in which a woman tries hard to cover up everything in front of the intruding troupe leader.
In Xiao Ran's memory, this scene is definitely a classic. Of course, the film itself is a classic. But this scene can be called a classic among classics, as it is shown in a closed and chaotic situation.
Dexterity is not a big deal, the key is that the skills shown in filming this scene are so great that they can definitely be listed in textbooks and have been imitated many times by subsequent directors.
This scene was first narrated by the action director Cheng Xiaodong, and then several martial artists were called to demonstrate it together. After Xu Ke gave instructions to the photographer and art director, he began to shoot this absolutely classic scene.
This scene is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say it is easy. There are only four cameras used, two of which are portable. Xiao Ran and the others do not need to do much, just hide and hide in the bed.
Okay. The key is that Ye Qianwen's performance needs to create a chaotic situation.
Fortunately, there was an action director, otherwise this scene would have been very difficult to shoot. However, for this reason, Xu Ke shot it six or seven times before ending the scene. Then dinner was served, and then the shooting continued.
The shooting for the day ended until the color temperature was not enough.
Xiao Ran has been paying attention to Xu Ke's actions for a long time, and he found that scene scheduling is a very important thing. The so-called scene scheduling refers to the location where the scenery and characters should exist. Don't underestimate this, scene scheduling often becomes a
A key factor in the success of a shot or scene.
In fact, the main creative personnel are very important, such as art director, action director, photography director, modeling design, etc. However, all of these are centered on the director and operate with the director's ideas as the purpose. The director does not need
Always do it yourself, you only need to tell these people your ideas, and they can adjust the effects that the director needs to achieve the final result.
To put it simply, the director is the driver. He needs to control the actors and behind-the-scenes staff in the crew and make them all operate around his wishes. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel something. At least for him, this experience
is extremely valuable.
After the day's shooting, Xu Ke told Xiao Ran that the shooting of "Happy Ghost Collision" would officially start in a few days. Huang Baiming just called and asked Xu Ke to let Xiao Ran go and participate in the preparatory work before the shooting.
Xiao Ran is not too worried about this. Liang Jiahui's name is on the screenwriter list of "Happy Ghost Collision Ghost". Then all he needs to do is let Liang Jiahui take charge of the specific affairs. It can not only solve Liang Jiahui's financial difficulties, but also
Able to solve the difficulties that he cannot separate himself from.
But what troubled him was that Xu Ke also told him that filming of "A Better Tomorrow" would also start in ten days, which might cause a "scheduling" problem. Just as he was about to leave the set with a frown on his face, a car
Stopped beside him.
Lin Qingxia poked her head out and looked at Xiao Ran: "Would you like me to give you a ride, Screenwriter Xiao?"
"It's a dream come true!" Xiao Ran immediately forgot about his troubles in front of this unparalleled beauty, and got into this car that was definitely an antique for him with a smile: "If you don't plan to race!"
Lin Qingxia suddenly laughed, and Xiao Ran felt as if the world between heaven and earth seemed to be much brighter: "You are right, I do intend to race, I am afraid!"
"Afraid, why aren't you afraid!" Xiao Ran pretended to be worried, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid your racing speed is too slow, and you won't be able to get home until tomorrow!"
While chatting and laughing, they gradually drove away. Xiao Ran didn't know why Lin Qingxia, who was usually not very enthusiastic towards others, wanted to go easy on him. He knew very well that there were very few people in the film industry who she regarded as true friends.
When he got married, he only invited Xu Ke and a few friends from the industry. Although this was indeed something he was confused about, he didn't think too deeply about it.
He turned his face slightly and stared at this peerless face that was like a white jade statue, without any hint of obscenity in his heart. When Lin Qingxia was a girl, she was so pure that everyone was obsessed with it. Cheng Long was one. It is said that even Zhou Runfa had a crush on her.
She shows how popular she was back then and how deeply rooted she was in the hearts of the people.
Today, Lin Qingxia is already twenty-seven or eighty years old, but she is increasingly showing a charming and enchanting peerless style. Her mature taste can almost make all men bow under her skirt. In Xiao Ran's opinion, if Hepburn is
Among foreigners, Lin Qingxia is undoubtedly the most beautiful among Chinese. She definitely has an irresistible and eternal charm.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Qingxia's face showed a hint of anger. She glanced at the dumbfounded Xiao Ran and said, "So rude? It's not like the style of screenwriter Xiao!"
Xiao Ran smiled awkwardly. For some reason, he always fell into such a dumbfounded situation in front of Lin Qingxia. Of course, he could hear that Lin Qingxia was just angry, not really angry. So, the boy was smiling.
Said: "With such a beautiful Sister Lin in front of me, it is difficult for me not to be rude!"
"Hit you, such a slippery boy..." Lin Qingxia pretended to raise her hand to hit her, but Xiao Ran simply sent her head to the door. When she didn't hit him, she smiled softly and changed the topic: "What happened to you and Xiaohan?
She seems very dissatisfied with you."
"Who knows!" Xiao Ran said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands. He really didn't understand the little girl's psychology. He even gave up and still remained in a stalemate.
Next, he explained the reason. There was a smile in Lin Qingxia's eyes, and her red lips trembled slightly: "Although I have only met once, I can see that Xiaohan is very stubborn. Otherwise, she will definitely not follow her like this.
You are in a stalemate, you have to find a way to solve it, at least give her a step down."
"It's very troublesome, Sister Lin. I don't think it needs to be like this!" Xiao Ran patted his head, extremely distressed. It wasn't that he couldn't let go, but he just didn't think he could do it.
"Xiao Han is your sister. Why are you afraid of trouble? Are you willing to give up such a cute little girl? Let me help you." Lin Qingxia's current expression reminded Xiao Ran of a word commonly used on the Internet in the 20th century -
I despise you!
What else could Xiao Ran say? She could only shrug her shoulders and express her agreement. When she arrived at her happy home, Lin Qingxia rejected Xiao Ran's request with a smile, and left directly, leaving Xiao Ran alone.
In fact, Xiao Ran didn't know much about Lin Qingxia. It couldn't be said that he didn't want to know, but that too many things were gradually lost as time went by. However, he still knew about the two bitter loves that Lin Qingxia had experienced, two Qin and one Qin.
Lin was definitely at his peak back then.
But he calculated with his fingers that the engagement between Lin Qingxia and Qin Xianglin was unilaterally terminated by her the year before last. Cheng Long, who had always regarded Qin Xianglin as his most respected eldest brother at that time, was the one who scolded him the most, so he had to invite Lin Qingxia within a year.
Qingxia's performance in "Police Story" is unknown to outsiders.
However, Xiao Ran knew that Lin Qingxia should be with Qin Han at the moment. However, if nothing unexpected happens, she will break up with Qin Han in September, and it seems that she will be almost single for the next ten years. Of course,
After thinking about it that way, he naturally didn't think of anything ghostly.
In the next period of time, Xiao Ran was very busy. First, he asked Liang Jiahui to participate in the specific shooting of "Happy Ghost Collision" under a pseudonym, and then attended the worship and opening ceremony of "A Better Tomorrow". According to Xiao Ran
, I was so busy that I didn’t even have time to eat.
However, he still took the time to write the script of "Eight Star Announcement", but this script was really not easy to write, especially the last happy reunion scene. If he remembered correctly, it was a Cantonese opera
, this kid still needs to find out what kind of drama it is.
In fact, he had forgotten that the last Cantonese opera scene was not in the script at all, but was added on the director's impulse. Even if he didn't write it, there would be no problem. This would not have any impact on him in the first place.
What made his head light up with anger was that as soon as he finished the script, he remembered this matter.
It's not that Xiao Ran doesn't know how to act, but acting in life is different from acting in movies. They are indeed very different. In life, you only need to disguise yourself, but in movies, you have to become another person. This is
It's quite difficult.
As we all know, acting is very abstract, but in a certain sense, it is not necessarily so. Every little movement of an actor, every facial expression, even the way he walks, etc., can connect himself with acting.
Together, this is the so-called basic skill of an actor.
Xiao Ran definitely lacked basic skills. Although he went out to buy a book "The Self-cultivation of an Actor" written by Stanislavsky, which was the book treasured by Zhou Xingchi in "The King of Comedy". However, this was obviously not given to him.
What benefits does it bring.
In fact, this is not to blame Xiao Ran. The top actors in the ten years of the heyday of Hong Kong films either gained a lot of performance experience or graduated from wireless training classes. This is difficult to compare. And a large amount of performance experience is even more extraordinary.
This is a valuable opportunity for training. The jerky performances of future young actors in Hong Kong films are simply due to lack of experience.
As an ordinary person, Xiao Ran has no acting talent. Of course, to say that he is a stupid guy would be to underestimate him. After all, he grew up around Hong Kong movies and is definitely interested in high-level performances.
I have a lot of experience. Unfortunately, this is only limited to high-level acting skills like Huang Qiusheng's. In some basic skills, he is still far behind.
"CUT! Very good. I'll borrow my seat for the next scene. Let's get ready!" Xu Ke shouted to the staff around him, came to Xiao Ran's side, and said in a very serious tone: "Aran, how will your performance in this scene be?"
It's very important, learn more from A Dong and let him give you some guidance."
Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly. Filming is really not easy, especially action scenes. In this era, most action scenes require a certain level of skill, and where did he come from? This naturally became a weakness of his.
The scene they shot today was mainly a melee in a teahouse, and there were not many action scenes, but it was still not easy to do. Xiao Ran asked Cheng Xiaodong for advice, and then they filmed the scene. After filming the scene, basically
His mission for today was over. Since "A Better Tomorrow" still needed his participation, he immediately rushed to another filming location non-stop.
