As a screenwriter, he also has responsibilities, which is to explain the content and meaning of the plot to the actors. When the actors don't understand certain parts, they will come to ask him.
During this time, everyone's attitude towards Bai Qianqu was also subtly changing.
Many people initially underestimated Bai Qianqu, thinking he was too young and probably didn't have much ability.
But gradually, everyone discovered that this Teacher Bai really had a lot of knowledge! And quite a lot at that!
He can not only explain the content of the script, but also use indirect methods and allusions to make what would otherwise be dry knowledge points very interesting! He can often find a way to explain things in an easy-to-understand way.
In addition, he is very patient, has a very gentle attitude, a good temper, and is handsome.
Bai Qianqu quickly won the welcome of the entire crew.
It's important to know that many screenwriters have short tempers. When actors don't understand their meaning, they get angry, and some even resort to verbal abuse.
That's alright, at least these screenwriters have some talent.
Encountering those incompetent and ill-tempered individuals was a disaster for everyone during the entire filming process.
In comparison, Bai Qianqu is a breath of fresh air among screenwriters.
Among them, several single girls in the crew even started asking Bai Qianqu if he had a girlfriend.
At the end of March, Bai Qianqu was invited to attend the filming ceremony.
Unlike those big-budget films, this opening ceremony had no flashbulbs or reporters. The only attendees were the entire crew and actors. It was very simple, even rudimentary.
Cao Dawei said to everyone, rather awkwardly, "The funds are a bit tight. The higher-ups only approved five million, so please bear with it. I'll treat everyone to dinner after this is over."
No one said anything about it, after all, they weren't big stars and didn't care much about those so-called prestige.
Chapter 319 Film Score
Compared to that, the prospect of getting a free meal after the opening ceremony was much more appealing to everyone.
The opening ceremony was quite simple: a few key members of the production team went up and said a few words, mostly encouraging everyone to look forward to the future of the film.
Finally, Cao Dawei handed the microphone to Bai Qianqu, indicating that he should also say a few words.
Bai Qianqu picked up the microphone, thought for a moment, and finally said, "I wish everyone a happy time going to work and a happy time going home."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into cheerful laughter.
Cao Dawei and the others also had strange expressions, and finally they burst into laughter.
The crew was a little nervous as filming was about to begin, but Bai Qianqu's antics made the atmosphere much more relaxed and cheerful.
Afterwards, Cao Dawei treated everyone to a meal at a hotel.
Full and satisfied, we're brimming with energy!
When filming officially began, everyone did indeed act as Bai Qianqu had said.
Go to work happily.
The entire filming process was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
However, many absurd things also happened.
For example, at the beginning, the actor playing Xie Xiaomeng flirted with Fu Ningna, who was playing a passerby, while riding the cable car. As a result, he was stepped on and screamed, and the Coke can in his hand fell from the sky.
Cao Dawei and Xavier nodded in agreement, saying that the actor's acting was really good, just like someone who had actually been stepped on.
After the scene was filmed, everyone realized that Funina had really stomped on the other person's foot hard, and the other person's instep was swollen.
No wonder they were screaming like pigs were being slaughtered.
There was also a car crash scene in the plot. According to the script, the car that was hit should have been a BMW 50 Series. However, because of the budget, everyone came up with a solution. They found a wrecked BMW 50 Series, removed the body shell, repaired it, and pretended it was working. In the end, they filmed the car crash scene at a very low cost and saved a lot of money on repairs.
Of course, there is also a lot of music in the movie, which was packaged and customized for Bai Qianqu along with the script.
Many people watch movies simply to have some fun.
Sometimes, when I hear beautiful background music, I can't help but sigh.
That's fucking awesome.
For example, in the scene where Dao Ge is taking a shower, the three of them are on screen together in a split shot. At that time, the background music at the beginning seemed to be chanting Buddhist scriptures. Then the Buddhist chanting stopped, and the bright electric guitar sound resounded through the sky. It was very interesting.
However, few people know that it is actually Tchaikovsky's classic masterpiece "Dance of the Little Swans", a dance from the second act of the four-act ballet "Swan Lake", which has been adapted into a variation for electric guitar.
This is actually a very high-class classical piece of music, but it has been used for parody, and it is full of dark humor.
Of course, it's not just this section.
Later, there's a pipa version of "Dance of the Little Swans," filled with various electronic synthesizer sounds, chaotic yet not chaotic, giving a sense of "a storm brewing."
It's clear that the director and screenwriter really love Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Little Swans," and they made many adaptations for the film.
Of course, it wasn't just "Dance of the Little Swans." At the City God Temple exhibition, the background music at that time was called "A Beautiful Legend," which came from a TV series that was popular all over the country in the mid-1980s.
The film also features many original songs.
What's most memorable is the scene where Xie Xiaomeng, a young urbanite, flirts with beautiful girls at a video game store and falls in love with one of them at first sight. The background music is "I Love You, My Dear Girl" by the Buyi Band, which became very popular among young people all over the country when it was first released.
It can be said that although "Crazy Stone" had a small investment cost, it had everything it needed, and was even excellent.
The film's success is also largely due to its excellent soundtrack.
It's clear that the director put a lot of effort and thought into this film, and didn't lower his standards just because of the small budget.
Putting everything else aside, Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Little Swans" alone is enough to make this film famous.
If Bai Qianqu were to customize it herself, it would probably cost a lot of money.
Fortunately, the script was sent directly to them.
The filming process was not without its challenges, the most serious of which was the actors laughing during filming.
Because the movie was so funny, people couldn't help but burst out laughing while it was playing.
Cao Dawei was quite helpless. He could only make the actors do it again and again, and at the same time, he admired Bai Qianqu even more.
There aren't many movies that can make actors laugh.
If even the actors in a comedy film can't laugh, how can it expect to make the audience laugh?
It's like a novel; if you can't even please the author, how can you expect to please the readers?
It's simply a fantasy.
Fu Ningna's eyes sparkled as she looked at Bai Qianqu.
Although she is an actress, she has participated in musicals the most, so she is very sensitive to music.
Fulina could clearly feel that the entire film was filled with excellent music, especially several variations of the background music, which clearly had the core of classical music!
She was quite certain that these were originally from the same classical piece of music, but had been parodied and adapted.
What surprised her most was that the adapted soundtrack didn't feel out of place at all!
Just by looking at the melodies of these songs, you can tell how high the musical skill of the person who adapted the music is!
Many of the melodies I picked up on a whim are surprisingly beautiful!
Fu Ningna didn't know that Bai Qianqu was Qu Yin. She was very curious about who the person who adapted these melodies was!
She couldn't wait to meet him.
And all of these background music tracks were provided by Bai Qianqu, so he must know that person!
Fu Ningna narrowed her eyes as she watched Bai Qianqu, pondering how she should ask him questions in a way that wouldn't seem abrupt or impolite.
The film crew was constantly in a state of laughter, with everyone bursting into laughter every now and then.
Of course, the most important thing is that Cao Dawei does not prohibit this behavior; he is happy to see his own actors like the movie.
Not to mention actors, even he often can't help but burst into laughter, sometimes even laughing until his stomach hurts.
Even Xavier couldn't hold back any longer; he tried to suppress it, but he simply couldn't.
After finally managing to stop laughing, Xavier took a deep breath, unsure how to describe it.
This movie looks like a mess, but it's surprisingly hilarious.
It makes you want to keep watching.
But after thinking about it, he felt relieved.
Isn't the point of comedy movies to make people laugh?
Why think so much? Just have fun and that's all!
P.S.: Happy Lunar New Year's Eve everyone! May you receive a big red envelope tomorrow!
Chapter 320 Dilemma
Despite the frequent laughter during filming, the shooting schedule was not delayed at all.
Many actors performed smoothly, perhaps because the atmosphere on set was relaxed and cheerful, and everyone felt less pressure, so everyone was in good condition.
Sometimes they even voluntarily worked overtime to film, and as the movie neared its end, everyone felt reluctant to leave.
Throughout the process, Bai Qianqu, the screenwriter, did not make many comments.
He sat to the side, watching everyone laugh, and he laughed too.
Admittedly, he had watched "Crazy Stone" countless times and knew the plot by heart.
But the charm of this movie is that no matter how many times you watch it, you will have a new feeling every time you watch it again.
This is probably what they mean by "never getting tired of watching it".
Of course, the filming process was not always smooth sailing. After filming for a while, the difficulty of the performance increased, and at some key moments, Lan Bo, who played "Hei Pi," was a little unsure of himself.
After all, he had not received any professional scientific training and relied entirely on the self-taught methods he had learned over the years, so it was inevitable that he would find it somewhat difficult.
When filming a scene where a trio is using soda cans to scam people on a tram, Lambo just couldn't get the hang of it and tried several times without success.
Even Cao Dawei's several talks with him had little effect.
During filming, Lambo still couldn't immerse himself in the role.
Cao Dawei had no choice but to pause filming and let Lan Bo calm down and find his rhythm.
Not only Cao Dawei, but even Xavier noticed that Lambo was having some problems.
He didn't know how to describe the specific problem.
