Chapter 675 Difficult shooting!
The role configuration of "Mystery Superstar" is obviously a leading role, three supporting roles, only the heroine and no male protagonist.

The role of Lei Jiayin has a lot of roles, but he is not considered a leading actor.

The whole film is about the heroine's story, and the other characters appear in batches and are all supporting roles.

Compared with the standard ratio of male and female protagonists, this configuration will highlight a heroine more, but the other supporting roles can be more impressive than the usual supporting roles.

In the West, when screenwriters set characters, the characters in the movie can be divided into three basic functions:

Main characters, minor characters and minor characters.

Secondary characters are those who are connected to the protagonist and have a significant influence on the development of the narrative.

Secondaries can be divided into three types by function: villain, mirror image, and romance.

If there are two main characters, such as a man and a woman, or a double lead, then usually only one or two of the other secondary characters can make a difference in a film that is only 90 minutes long.

It depends on the ability of the director. After all, time is limited. How to arrange the length and plot of the main characters and secondary characters is a test of the director's ability.

It's hard to have two main characters and three or four or more secondary characters.

The more characters there are, the more difficult it is to shoot, which is not much easier than some brain-burning films.

There are too many main characters in Xu Ke's "Legend of Shushan", which leads to a messy plot and character relationships, and word-of-mouth and box office hit the street.

Xu Ke's ability is beyond words, "Huang Feihong" and "Green Snake" are classics, and even the comedy is good.

In these films, the main character in "Once Upon a Time" is Huang Feihong, Aunt Thirteen is considered a secondary character, and the others are villains, apprentices and the like.

However, "Green Snake" is quite difficult, with two main characters and two secondary characters, and the emotional drama between each of the four characters has almost become a square love.

Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" is a group play, and the plot is not well controlled, there are too many people, and history, unofficial history, and TV dramas have already assigned roles to each role.

Although many characters do not contribute to the plot, there are many scenes, which directly lead to problems with the plot. Even if it is filmed into two parts, it will still be the same.

In the end, what impressed the audience the most was the sex scene between Lin Zhiling and Liang Chaowei, and the scene where Lin Zhiling and Jin Chengwu delivered the horse.

There are not many movies with multiple characters that shine without affecting the whole. Many supporting roles in Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu" are still impressive.

But most of them are small characters who are not secondary characters and have no important impact on the development of the plot narrative.

"Infernal Affairs", known as the rescue work of Xiangjiang Films, seems to have many characters, but in fact there are two main characters and two secondary characters. On the contrary, the second part is a little more complicated.

In terms of character creation, comedy should have an advantage. As long as the small characters in it play a particularly funny role, even if they don't promote the plot, they can still be remembered by the audience.

Except for special effects blockbusters, most movies are based on the plot, and the characters are the most important part of the plot. Unlike TV dramas, which spend a lot of time creating characters, movies don't give that much time at all.

This is also a factor that makes movies more demanding than TV dramas. Most of the time, an actor who shoots a TV drama is praised for his good acting skills. In fact, most of them are created by screenwriters.

In the plot of "Mysterious Superstar", Tang An also thought about adding Lei Jiayin or Peng Yichang's roles to create a leading actor.

But in this way, it is difficult to take care of the remaining three secondary roles.

Moreover, the original film was a full 150 minutes long, and Tang Ande had to shorten it to less than 120 minutes, which was even worse.

If there is only one heroine, it will be easier for the other four secondary characters to be fully displayed.

Fu Dalong, Qin Hairu, Lei Jiayin, Peng Yichang, most of the roles in the scene are promoting the overall plot, and are closely related to the heroine.

Everyone's role is different, without the leading actor, the four supporting roles can play better, and even the heroine's younger brother can be regarded as a secondary role.

The role of Lei Jiayin is a musician who has a lot of negative news. He has gone through two divorces. He is hot-tempered and even a little uneducated. impression.

The heroine came from a violent and stubborn father and a gentle and kind mother to such a person, such an unreliable person, who seemed to be similar to her father.

But it is this somewhat playful and even wretched boss who is finally willing to give the heroine a chance and keep a secret for her, even throwing down his face to ask his "enemy" for help, showing his kindness and humanity.

Negative and positive images coexist, he is romantic and has a bad reputation, but he is also eager to help others.

Although there was no bloody whitewashing for his flirtatiousness and divorce later, it made the audience see warmth around the heroine.

Mother, classmate, musician, brother, four characters, it is these four characters who are always by the heroine's side. How depressing.

However, Lei Jiayin also took on most of the jokes in the movie, coupled with the pros and cons of the character, the role is more playable.

The first day of shooting was very smooth, and the first few shots were NG at most three times.

But the fourth lens has a problem with you.

In a short shot, Jiang Xiaodi followed Zhang Yuqi into the office, but Lei Jiayin hooked up with Nana at the front desk.

"Crack."

Tang An shook his head and called Lei Jiayin over.

"Have you watched Liang Chaowei's movie recently?"

Lei Jiayin was making Tang An's movie for the first time, and he couldn't figure out his style, but I heard that he had a bad temper, and when he scolded him, he was called fierce.

He replied nervously, "I have watched the scene where Liang Chaowei teases Zhang Ziyi in "2046" dozens of times."

"Don't try to imitate Liang Chaowei, you have to have a flirtatious feeling, unlike him."

This Tang An couldn't go into details, and he couldn't imitate that expression and eyes. If he couldn't do it, he could only let him experience it.

Let him figure it out for himself, Tang An brought other people to an office next door to film the scenes of Zhang Yuqi and Jiang Xiaodi.

The scene was set up, there was nothing complicated about the lighting and camera, and the two actors were ready.

"Scene 62, one shot, one shot!"

"start."

The two sat facing each other, Zhang Yuqi no longer had the aggressive face before, but her eyes were much softer when facing a girl who still needed legal aid.

"Tell me something and see if I can help."

On the opposite side, Xiao Di's expression was a little tangled, and he kept twisting his hands together.

"My father often beats my mother with his hands, loses his temper whenever something goes wrong, and strikes at every turn."

As he said that, Xiao Di had some sadness in his eyes.

One or two examples are told, but it is not as serious as the original version of interrupting the hand, which slightly reduces the domestic violence.

There is nothing difficult in this scene. Xiaodi mainly needs to match his lines with a trace of sadness when he speaks, and he has to write helplessness.

However, this scene was shot six times. From TV series to movies, the way of acting is not very used to it, and it is too superficial.

Then go outside and continue the scene just now.

Lei Jiayin was taken aback by that flirty and aggressive tease, and took a total of fourteen shots.

"Okay, let's go!"

On the first day of filming the longest shot of NG, luckily the crew was in good condition.

Lei Jiayin was also relieved to see that Tang An showed no signs of getting angry, thinking that Tang An's temper was not as bad as the outside world said.

In one go, Tang An didn't let the crew rest after shooting this scene. There are only two shots left, and today's task is over.

"Clap!"

Tang An clapped his hands and picked up the loudspeaker.

"After the start of the next shot, I will call it a day after shooting these two shots. The hotel has been booked, and the meals are being prepared. If you finish shooting early, you can still eat fresh food."

"Scene 61, five shots, one shot!"

"start!"

Lei Jiayin, who had successfully teased Nana, walked to the front desk and leaned on the stage pretending to be chic.

"Hi, have you heard my new song?"

Nana asked, ""The Delicate Me"?"

"Do not."

Lei Jiayin stretched out his right index finger and shook it left and right, obviously making a chest-puffing movement, "It's "The Mighty Me"."

"Okay, next one!"

Once you are in the state, it is easy to shoot.

With just one look, he took down the beautiful woman who looked down on him before, which seemed a bit abrupt.

But considering Lei Jiayin's identity as a famous music producer, it's not surprising, plus he's not ugly.

So what if he is fickle, Wang Congcong is not fickle, and he is not very handsome, but the identity of Mr. Wanda is enough for most women to ignore other details.

A well-known musician in the country, who is not bad looking, even if he is a playboy, there are a lot of women who take the initiative to pounce on him.

What's more, he is still an old driver!
In the next scene, the old driver Lei Jiayin is already showing Nana's palm reading.

"The lines on your palm tell me that a new lover is about to appear in your life."

As soon as the words were finished, Zhang Yuqi and Xiao Di happened to come out, so scared that Nana suddenly retracted her hand and stood up.

Zhang Yuqi glanced at Nana, and stared at her for a second with an unfriendly expression.

Zhang Yuqi sent the two of them out, and Xiaodi said in embarrassment that he couldn't afford the lawyer's fee.

Lei Jiayin answered casually, "Don't worry about that, she's very cheap."

I don't know what cheap means.

Zhang Yuqi glanced at him, but said nothing.

When the two of them turned to leave, they still made a sound.

"That... did a good job."

Xiao Di thought he was talking about her, and quickly thanked her.

Zhang Yuqi said, "I'm talking about him."

"It seems that you are not as bad as you think."

"Oh dear."

Lei Jiayin immediately put on a cheap expression again, opening his arms for a friendly hug.

Zhang Yuqi didn't change her face, nor backed away, and snorted coldly.

"roll!"

After speaking, he went in.

Lei Jiayin didn't feel embarrassed, so she smiled triumphantly, rushed to the front desk Nana and gestured for a phone call, and left with Xiaodi.

After the last scene was shot today, Tang An carefully checked it twice in front of the monitor, and announced it after confirming that it was correct.

"Call the work, gather at the hotel!"

Tang An waved his hand and ended today's shooting.

In a nearby hotel, Tang An booked a hall, enough to seat the entire crew.

While eating and drinking, Tang An didn't talk nonsense.

"Today is the first day of the start-up, and everything is off to a good start. Thank you for your cooperation. I would like to offer you a toast."

"Regard Director Tang!"

Everyone also raised their glasses full of juice and had a drink together.

Tang An looked at Nana again, "Nana is finished now, and I would like to offer you a toast. You performed well, and I hope you will be successful no matter what film you are filming in the future."

"Thank you Director Tang."

Nana hastily drank half of the glass of juice in one gulp. Although she was only a small character this time, she took it very hard, just to show her face in front of Tang An.

Although it was a bit disappointing to finish it in half a day, she wished to shoot it in five or six days.

Tang An also talked about some performance matters at the dinner table, mainly to mention Lei Jiayin.

Telling him specifically that the treatment that the heroine does not even have, made Lei Jiayin a little worried secretly, after all, he had been NG 14 times before.

And little Di Tangan just asked her to think about the role, and made her a little complacent.

The heroine of Tang An's movie, Xiao Di originally thought that the filming process would be very difficult, and the big director must have high requirements and would be more stringent.

But when the first day went so smoothly, Tang An seemed very satisfied. His heart that had been collapsing was finally relieved, and he even picked up the speed of eating vegetables.

Tang An wasn't very satisfied with her performance at the time, but it's useless to say it now, an actor like Lei Jiayin who has been filming for ten years is capable, and I can understand it with a few reminders.

But Xiaodi, you still have to adjust slowly when shooting.

Soon, within two days, Xiao Di couldn't relax anymore.

The most important scene in the capital is the scene in which Lei Jiayin gives Xiaodi professional vocal training.

It should show that the heroine has gone through arduous struggle on the road to realize her dream, instead of becoming popular after singing two songs without training.

The audience must see the process and resonate with the audience.

The practice and competition of the three daughters in "Wrestling, Dad" can directly stimulate the soft heart of the audience, and singing is relatively difficult to express.

Tang An used a simple and rude method to make the heroine's voice hoarse, and she continued to practice even if her voice was hoarse.

Huairou New City Binhe Forest Park, Tang An brought the crew to gather at 7 am.

From the studio to the forest park full of nature, everyone's mood improved a lot.

"Hurry up and prepare, time is limited."

Tang An commanded all the departments to prepare for the shooting. The background of this scene was in the morning. The heroine came to Beijing by plane from her hometown, came out of school at eight o'clock, and flew back before school was over at noon.

Call Lei Jiayin again.

"How are you doing?"

"Don't worry, Director Tang, you're ready." Lei Jiayin replied.

His role is a professional musician. This scene is to help Xiao Di train, which involves some professional knowledge in the training. According to the requirements of the script, he asked the teacher of the music school to design it.

Half an hour later, the preparations were ready and the shooting began.

I first filmed some simple methods of practicing voice and opening the voice, and gradually became proficient from amateurs.

"Your voice still lacks explosive power, now follow me and put your hands on your hips."

Lei Jiayin continued training and demonstrated on the sidelines.

Xiao Di obeyed obediently, with his hands on his hips.

"Hey ha! Hey ha! Hey ha."

Lei Jiayin's voice is fine, this post will be dubbed.

Xiaodi also followed suit, this time using the original voice.

Lei Jiayin gave a demonstration and then guided by the side.

"You should feel the ups and downs of the lower abdomen with your hands. If there is no ups and downs, it means you are not using Qi!"

"Don't squeeze your throat to pronounce!"

"You don't pronounce it with your voice, you sing with your breath, your voice is just passing through, you don't use your voice to shout!"

In order to show this training process on the big screen in a layered manner, it is necessary to shoot the state of each stage of the character.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xiaodi showed the hardest and most uncomfortable state.

"Crack!"

The first two were relatively smooth, and they acted in their true colors, and they were not professional in the first place.

"Pay attention to the status, don't patronize and yell. Now that you have been training for a week, your voice is already a little uncomfortable. Even if you can dub it later, the expression and eyes must be in place."

"Hard work, tenacity and perseverance, let people see this in your eyes!"

"Crack!"

"Why are you staring, put it on the big screen to scare the audience!"

"Crack!"

Xiao Di said "hey ha ha ha" there, and Tang An kept yelling "click"

The first two days went so smoothly, making Xiao Di feel very relaxed, but Tang An suddenly became more difficult, and his performance became worse and worse.

After NGing nearly ten times in a row, Tang An also saw that Xiao Di's state was not right.

"Take a break for 5 minutes."

Finally, he could rest for a while, and Xiao Di also heaved a sigh of relief. He drank a big mouthful of water, and wanted to ask Tang An for advice, but he dared not go.

It wasn't until nearly 12 o'clock on the first morning that the third usable segment was shot.

In the morning, the scenes that can be used in movies are less than ten seconds.

And for the third shot, Xiao Di hasn't rested since that 5 minutes, and Tang An started immediately after yelling to stop.

However, this is just the beginning, Xiao Di has to shout in the park all morning every day.

The difficult shooting lasted for more than half a month, and Xiao Di's voice gradually became hoarse day by day, and he barely met Tang An's requirements.

PS: Chinese New Year is coming soon, I was too busy years ago, and the recent update is a bit unstable.

However, the update should not be too small. In January, 1 words were updated, almost 17 words a day.

There are also a lot of troubles during the New Year. I guess everyone is the same. Every day, three or four relatives call to arrange a blind date for the New Year.

Sometimes in the middle of the code word at night, a phone call comes, and I talk earnestly for seven or eight minutes.

I couldn't refuse at all. I couldn't say it at first, and I was educated for more than 20 minutes.
However, I go to work during the day and code at night. Even if the blind date is successful, I don’t have time to fall in love.

It's a bit long-winded, don't spread the negative status, it will affect everyone's mood, this is a big Chinese New Year.

Finally, I wish all comrades who have been urged to marry during the Chinese New Year a smooth blind date, O(∩_∩)O
Let’s push this big guy’s book again, the new book "Don’t Ascend" by Wen Yan Duijiu, the sci-fi big guy, has a good writing style, strong story logic, and suspense, anyway, it’s much better than me.

Introduction: Traveling to the earth 100 years after the spiritual energy was revived, Jiang Mubai received the last words from the first ascendant: the spiritual energy revival is a big lie!Warning monks all over the world, don't ascend! ! !

Why not ascend, I guess it is because there is no oxygen in outer space, the bosses of ascend are suffocated, haha ​​o(*￣︶￣*)o
