Chapter 469: Everyone in Chitang Village Begins to Have a Change of Fortune

Because Director Ye took too long to think, Jinli took a break and then walked over to take a look.

She noticed that Director Ye was watching the previously filmed scenes over and over again, so she asked, "Director, is there something wrong?"

Ye Weijie pondered for a while and shook his head slowly.

"From the performance point of view, both you and the villagers performed well, but they just didn't show the feeling I wanted."

Jinli was stunned for a moment, then took another look at the filming clip. She thought the acting was pretty good.

Even she, a star who is not used to watching her own filming footage, couldn't find any fault with it.

The villagers acted out the guilty feeling of being obviously tempted but for the sake of face forcing themselves to oppose it very vividly.

If it wasn't the villagers' problem, then it was her problem.

But no matter how Jinli looked at it, she felt that she was acting very normally, saying different things in different scenes, and her tone was fine.

Jinli asked: "What feeling do you want?"

Ye Weijie: "Fight, a big fight, and the situation is tense."

Jinli frowned and said carefully: "From the perspective of the lines, this kind of atmosphere can be created.

But when it comes to actual performance, people are not machines that can only recite lines, and the thoughts expressed in their minds are also different.”

“I think the villagers acted very well in this scene. They clearly wanted to donate, but had to refuse because of face. This feeling of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside is not something that other extras can act out.

The villagers felt like they were possessed by an actor for being able to perform like this.”

Ye Weijie seemed to be enlightened, "You are right, maybe we can try another way of expression."

Jinli shook her head: "This is your drama, I just put forward my opinion, if you have other ideas, you should still follow your ideas."

She thought about it and said, "How about this, let's shoot it again and see if we can get the effect you want."

The character she plays, Yuan Xiaoxiao, is gentle, kind, has a sense of the overall situation, and is willing to take risks.

This is a very decent person.

But in film and television dramas, characters who are too upright will make people feel too perfect, that is, fake, which is not conducive to image creation.

Why else do we say that bad guys are more impressive than good guys?
Therefore, in many criminal investigation films and anti-corruption films, playing the bad guy can make the actors stand out.

There must be something pitiful about a hateful person. Screenwriters usually design a background story for the bad guy that leads to his character change.

But the disadvantage of this character, who is very decent from beginning to end, is that he is too consistent. The personality portrayed by the plot is almost the same, making it difficult for him to change.

Unless there is a reversal such as a good guy becoming a bad guy or a bad guy becoming a good guy, the characters are all very decent from beginning to end and are generally more memorable than the villains.

Oh, by the way, letting the decent characters play a pitiful role is also a memorable point——

Look how kind he is, but he ends up having such a miserable experience. It really proves the saying: Good people don't live long, but bad people die for a thousand years.

This is the truth, but if it is written like this, it does not conform to the values ​​of those scripts.

The point that many scripts want to express is that good people will be rewarded, and bad people will be brought to justice no matter how hard they try to escape.

The bad guys get everyone's sympathy, and the good guys become even more miserable. Even if this kind of movie becomes popular, it is actually a failure in values.

Therefore, it is quite difficult to design a decent character to be memorable.

Ye Weijie thought this was a solution, so he asked them to shoot the scene again.

The villagers don’t know how to perform, everything is based on their true feelings.

So Ye Weijie didn't use any professional terms with the villagers, and asked directly: "Will you quarrel with others?"

The villager immediately said, "Yes, I had an argument with someone a few days ago. Someone's cow crushed my lotus root, and I got so angry that I had a fight with him!"

Ye Weijie: "Just bring in your previous angry emotions and say the lines angrily, and we can reshoot it, okay?"

The villagers shouted, "Of course it will work. It's such a simple thing!"

When filming started again, the villagers didn't see Jinli, so they all spoke loudly, and there was a tense atmosphere.

But Jinli came forward and was responsible for mediating the conflicts among the villagers, asking them what they did not understand.

"Let's talk it over. Tell me what you don't understand and I'll help you solve whatever I can."

The villager wanted to yell something, but when he met Jinli's gaze, he froze.

He paused for several seconds and couldn't remember his lines for a while.

"It's about the donation!"

After stuttering out this line, the villager finally remembered his line and said fiercely:

"How can a young kid like you solve this problem? Call your parents over and I'll ask them!"

Other villagers echoed, "Yes, we don't believe in your ability. Donating money is such a big thing. Who knows if you will run away with the money after we donate it?"

Yuan Xiaoxiao, played by Jinli, said helplessly: "My identity has been registered with the government. The government has information about my ancestors for 18 generations. If I run away with the money, the country will not let me go, nor will it let my family go."

"Who, who knows whether what you said is true or not?!"

The villagers shouted, "Anyway, I don't support you hosting such a large donation project."

Yuan Xiaoxiao suddenly had an idea and asked, "You mean, you agree to donate, but you don't agree to let me collect the money. Do you want to find a respected person in the village to preside over it?"

The villager angrily replied: “No, I didn’t say I wanted to donate!”

"I can't explain it clearly to a girl like you. Go away, get out of here!" said the villager as he pushed Yuan Xiaoxiao out.

This time Ye Weijie shouted "click".

But after shouting, he fell into a thinker's state again.

Chen Qin continued to wipe Jinli's sweat and asked in a low voice: "Sister Jinli, is this the effect the director wanted?"

Jinli thought for a while and shook her head: "It's hard to say."

When she was acting with the villagers, she could feel that they were absent-minded. This kind of difficult shooting was really difficult for them.

The villagers all acted in their true colors.

When they faced her, they spoke with lack of confidence. This is people's first reaction, and it is difficult for ordinary people without training to change their instincts.

Jinli walked to Ye Weijie and started to watch as well.

Ye Weijie asked back: "How do you think the filming went this time?"

Jinli answered truthfully: "Not very good, worse than last time."

Ye Weijie frowned, "Well, although the momentum was created, the villagers' reactions were too forced. It was obvious that they were pretending to be strong. They were still too guilty in front of you."

Ye Weijie didn't understand what was going on and could only attribute it to Jinli's personal charm.

Just like some beauties, they are not dressed exaggeratedly, but they can attract the attention of everyone as soon as they appear, and everyone's eyes can't help but follow her. Jinli suggested: "This scene is a bit difficult for the villagers to perform, why don't you find some professional extras to perform it."

At the beginning, the crew did not plan to look for extras and only wanted the villagers to play those insignificant roles.

But then Ye Weijie thought about it and realized that some roles cannot be played by villagers, and villagers can only be played naturally when playing villagers.

Moreover, some of the villagers have to perform more difficult moves, which they may not be able to do.

So after comprehensive consideration, he invited a team of extras. There were not many people, only about ten, which could basically cover the demand for extra roles in the crew.

Ye Weijie also wanted to see the contrast between professional and natural acting, so he called a few professional extras to play the villagers, and still acted according to his ideas to create a sense of tension.

When a professional extra takes action, he gives people a different feeling from the villagers.

When they quarreled with Jinli, they were not affected by Jinli's temperament at all. They yelled when they should, and yelled when they should, which presented the scene that Ye Weijie wanted.

But after the filming, Ye Weijie found through repeated comparisons that the first scene he shot at the beginning was more impressive.

Although the villagers were a little lacking in momentum in the face of Jinli and fell into Jinli's trap unconsciously, the emotions they performed were slightly more complicated.

Unlike the second and third shoots, the emotions were extreme but less complex.

In other words, the quarrel was too fake.

It's just a donation. If you don't trust it, then don't trust it. There's no need to yell at me.

And the plot is designed in this way, after all, to arouse the emotions of the viewers.

But if there really needs to be an emotional stimulation, why use this method to express it?

All the villagers need to do is wave their hands calmly and say: "I don't believe you, so I won't donate."

Then he closed the door and stopped Jinli outside.

Isn't it even more frustrating that there is not even room for dialogue?

Ye Weijie thought so, but was convinced by Jinli and the villagers' performance. He believed that their performance in the first act was more real and natural.

Ye Weijie specifically told Jinli and the villagers: "After comparing, I found that the first shot was the best. You can continue shooting according to your own ideas."

By the time Jinli finished filming, the others had already finished.

The crew hasn't prepared for the night scenes yet. The temperature in the countryside at night in winter is very cold, and everyone stays in their rooms early.

What they didn't know was that that night, many villagers suddenly went out to visit each other and shared today's filming content from house to house.

Ye Weijie invited some local villagers to play the roles of villagers in the play, and everyone in the village knew about it.

When the crew was recruiting actors in the village, many people signed up. After a round of screening, the villagers were finally selected.

However, only the villagers who were invited to perform knew the content of the filming, while the other villagers were unaware.

So they didn't know that the crew actually planned to build a road to Chitang Village.

What's more, some of the fundraising methods given in the script actually really moved the villagers in real life.

"Building roads can establish a monument of merit! This will benefit future generations!"

"Oh my God, this crew is so nice, they actually built a road for us and erected a monument to commemorate us?" A villager exclaimed, finding it unlikely.

Another villager said, "What are you thinking? It's good enough that you can help us build the road, but you want to build a monument to your merit? I asked the main actor, the star named Jinli.

She said that she would help us build the road, but she would not erect a monument to our memory. After all, we did not really give her money. She said that she would add a monument to our memory later, but in reality, there was no monument to our memory. "

The other villagers became anxious when they heard this.

"That's a merit stele. Since the crew filmed it, why don't they build a real one? It's not like our Chitang Village can't donate money to build roads."

As soon as these words were spoken, the others nodded.

"Yeah, isn't it just donating money? We can donate a little bit too. Building roads will benefit future generations!"

"When I think about having my name on the monument, I feel honored by my family!"

"How about we talk to the village chief and have him talk to the crew. We don't need the crew to pay for the trip. Our village will pay for it?"

"Let's go, oh no, it's too late now, we'll tell the village chief tomorrow!"
-
"Build a road? What did you say? You want to build a road too? No, where did you hear that Chitang Village was going to build a road? How come I didn't know about it?"

The village chief was puzzled. He felt as if he didn't fit in with the ever-changing Chitang Village, and also with his old friends who had lived here for a long time.

The villagers who had participated in the performance talked about the plot of the recent filming one after another. After seeing the plot, they also became interested in road construction.

Ahem, by the way, I’m even more excited to erect a monument!

Seeing the villagers so excited, the village chief said hesitantly: "If you want to donate money to build a road, I can talk to Director Ye, but you have to think clearly that building a road is not a small amount of money.

Don't forget, you still have to raise money for the ice cream molds. Although each household only needs to contribute a certain number of pieces, not a certain number per person, the expense is still not small."

One villager said: "But the payment for road construction is not based on each household, but on the number of people. There is strength in numbers. Maybe each person only needs to give 200 or 300 yuan?"

The village chief was also very interested in the idea of ​​erecting the monument, and he immediately went to the crew to ask the villagers on their behalf.

At the same time, some changes also took place among the people working outside Chitang Village.

Some people are on the verge of unemployment and are about to be eliminated if their performance does not meet the target this month, but suddenly a good performance comes down from the sky.

She did not go out to market and attract customers herself, but the customers took the initiative to find her and asked her if she had relevant channels and wanted to purchase a batch of machines.

The villagers of this pond village couldn't help but sigh: "My luck has turned around, my luck is really too good!"

In addition, the villagers who opened shops outside have been in a loss-making state since last year, and business is even worse this year. They are preparing to close down and find a job.

Suddenly, the villagers received a large number of orders, which were overwhelming.

When the wholesaler saw that they had bought so many goods, he was surprised and asked, "What do you do? Why is your business so good?"

The villager shook his head and said, "I don't know. Suddenly, a lot of orders came in."

What they didn't realize was that it wasn't just them, but all the villagers in Chitang Village who were working outside had their luck turned around.

Those who work have seen their performance increase, and those who own shops have seen a surge in sales.

They were chatting in the family group, happily sharing their latest news, and then heard from other villagers that a film crew was coming to the village to shoot.

The villagers said:

"This crew is very good. They even helped the village register its trademark. Originally, the crew didn't have to do this. It was purely out of the director's kindness."

"There are a lot of people outside the village recently. Some villagers have set up stalls outside to do some small business and have made a lot of money!"

"Many young people returned to the village early just to chase stars, but they started a career instead. This crew is amazing!"

When people outside heard what the people living in the village said, they all felt:

This crew is a blessing!
If the crew needs their help with anything, they will definitely help!
I recommend the old book "The Queen's Cultivation Notes", which has been completed and is about acting.
