Huayu02 started by making films.
Chapter 33 teaches Liu Yifei "positioning".
Shu Chang felt uneasy under his gaze and muttered softly, "I know, the director is the best..."
Han Yi laughed and said, "My photographer will bring the equipment over in a bit, and I'll show it to you, okay? So you won't doubt me."
"Okay, I agree!" Shu Chang smiled immediately.
Liu Yifei's mood had been somewhat dampened by the earlier incident. She smiled, her eyes crinkling like crescent moons, and said, "I want to see it too, Senior Han Yi."
"Together, together."
After Han Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand and sat back down on the folding stool, completely ignoring the two people who were still standing.
Shu Chang whispered to Liu Yifei, "Why did you call him 'senior'?"
"I'm going to Beijing Film Academy in the second half of the year. Senior Han Yi is a year ahead of me, so it's okay to call him senior, right?" Liu Yifei blinked her big eyes and spoke in a soft, childlike voice.
"What kind of senior is that! Isn't that Chen Ji also from Beijing Film Academy? How did he treat you on set? Bah!" Shu Chang puffed out his cheeks angrily.
"That's all for filming... I really didn't perform well, I didn't even know how to move properly," Liu Yifei said honestly.
"But you've only been here a short time! Besides, you've never acted in a single film before!" Shu Chang said, standing up for her best friend.
"Oh, Changchang, stop talking, they heard you..."
"What are you afraid of? Just because others dare to do it doesn't mean we can't say anything. Anyway, we don't have any scenes to film today."
Two teenagers, at the age when their thirst for knowledge and desire to vent are at their peak. Perhaps it was this shared experience on set that allowed Shu Chang and Liu Yifei to talk about anything and become so close.
Han Yi listened quietly without saying a word, but in his heart he thought: Chen Ji is too petty. Is he just jealous that Liu Yifei brought investment to the production? Why don't you find an investor? If not, go find Xiao Wang from Huayi Brothers. He likes this kind of thing.
Just then, Shu Chang, emboldened by some unknown source, walked up to Han Yi and said sweetly, "Senior Han Yi, could you please do me a favor?"
Han Yi composed himself and asked curiously, "Junior Sister Shu Chang, you said it's just a small favor, I'll definitely help."
Upon hearing this, Shu Chang immediately pulled over Liu Yifei, who was still in a daze: "You said you're the director, so could you teach Qianqian how to move around during filming? She's never been on a film set before and doesn't really know how."
What a wonderful pair of best friends, what a lovely pair of girls.
Looking at Shu Chang, who was a few months younger than Liu Yifei, Han Yi sighed inwardly: It's all the fault of her family background. Raised in a single-parent family from a young age, with her mother passing away early, she lived with relatives and spent most of her time on film sets. Perhaps this shaped her current personality.
She is lively yet possesses a maturity that is rare among her peers, but this maturity also lacks the vigor that one should have at this age.
He glanced at Liu Yifei again, thinking: Hey, let's not talk about the second one, the two of them grew up in similar circumstances, there's no point in comparing them.
Han Yi nodded: "Since you've already called me senior, I'll definitely help you with this."
Shu Chang immediately became happy and jumped around with Liu Yifei.
A few minutes later, Lao Du and his two companions returned carrying several cameras. They waved to Han Yi from afar, saying, "Brother Yi! Teacher Tian gave us too much equipment. We can't carry it all in one trip. I'm planning to go back and rent a van first."
"Why rent? Go find Producer Chen and just buy one," Han Yi said to Zhao Bin as he took the equipment and put it down.
"It was my oversight. Xiao Zhao, you have a driver's license, just go directly to Producer Chen to get the money to buy a car. I think that Changan Star from last time was pretty good, you can buy one like that."
Xiao Zhao nodded and jogged back to school.
Han Yi then instructed Da Gao and Lao Du, "You two stay here and watch the equipment; you can help me out."
He then briefly recounted what had just happened, directed the two men to set up the machine in an open area, and waved to the two sisters not far away:
"Hey, stop standing there like idiots, come over here and teach you some positioning."
Liu Yifei was still a little shy and hesitated for a while. Shu Chang, in his mischievous way, pulled her over.
"Director Han Yi!" Shu Chang said sweetly, "Please give me your guidance!"
Liu Yifei echoed in her sweet, childlike voice, "Director Han Yi, please give us your guidance!"
Han Yi waved his hand casually: "We're not on set right now, just call me senior. Here, you all listen to my instructions and stand in your respective positions."
He pointed to an open space: "Actors, please take your positions."
Liu Yifei stood obediently, and Shu Chang cheered her on from the side.
The camera Han Yi was holding was a Canon MV500iDV, one of the three cameras Tian Zhuangzhuang had rented to him.
The advantages are good image stabilization, a wide and smooth zoom range, and the ability to smoothly zoom in and out when shooting distant or close-up scenes; the disadvantage is that post-processing requires "magnetic to film conversion".
He planned to use it to film the scene in "Selaginella" where Fan Xiaopang runs away, to create a tense atmosphere.
Han Yi, holding the machine, began explaining to Liu Yifei:
"Liu Yifei, whether it's a TV series or a movie, the core goal of an actor's 'positioning' during filming is to achieve a smooth narrative and emotional expression through the director's spatial arrangement on set, the actors' camera coordination, and the coordination of their own performances."
Seeing Liu Yifei's bewildered expression, Han Yi continued to break it down: "Spatial arrangement is not your responsibility, don't think about that; the performance is up to you. Today I'm only talking about how to coordinate with the camera."
Liu Yifei nodded: "Senior, I understand."
Shu Chang listened in astonishment: This is Han Yi, a senior from Beijing Film Academy, is so amazing.
Han Yi continued, "Let's talk about individual movement coordination first. For example, you're in a dialogue scene, saying lines to your co-star, but you can't stand or walk the whole time."
At this point, you need to move around according to the order of your lines, either as agreed upon with the script supervisor beforehand or as memorized in advance. For example, if you're currently sitting on a stool, remember that you need to stand up or turn around when you say your next line—"Come on, let's go..."
Han Yi took control of the DV camera and began filming. Liu Yifei seemed to be back on a film set, rehearsing her lines as prescribed: getting up from the edge of the bed, getting out of bed, muttering her lines...
"Very good, that's it." Han Yi said as he backed away, adjusting the zoom ring.
Upon hearing the praise, Liu Yifei instantly lost her composure and burst out laughing, revealing a row of white teeth.
The little teeth are cute, but that's not the point.
Han Yi said in a deep voice, "Liu Yifei, remember this: unless the camera is right in your face, don't make any small movements that make you want to look at the camera."
Liu Yifei quickly suppressed her smile and stopped glancing at the camera.
Han Yi continued, "Follow the script: look at whoever you're talking to, look down at your toes when you feel guilty, stomp your feet lightly when you're happy, use actions to highlight the character's psychology. Some emotions don't need lines to express them."
"Okay, Director Han Yi, I'm reciting my lines now, but I won't look at you."
"That's all for now. Next, I'll teach you the key points for multi-player positioning..."
Shu Chang was completely dumbfounded. She watched as her daughter Qianqian's "positioning" skills improved step by step.
If there were a system interface in front of her, it would definitely display: Liu Yifei: Movement ability ↑↑↑.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Through continuous practice, Liu Yifei gradually mastered a new skill, transforming from a clueless newcomer who could only memorize lines and make expressions.
"Alright, that's enough for today."
Han Yi turned off the equipment and said to the two of them, "It's almost lunchtime. Of all things, eating is the most important."
Shu Chang nodded silently to the side, then suddenly clutched his stomach, as if he was really hungry.
Liu Yifei then came to her senses: "We're eating already? I didn't even realize time had passed."
"Sisi, that's because you were too engrossed in it," Shu Chang teased, putting his arm around her with a grin. "Don't you think your positioning has improved?"
Liu Yifei smiled and said, "That's all thanks to Senior Han Yi's excellent teaching."
She looked at Han Yi and said earnestly, "Thank you, senior."
Shu Chang added, "Thank you, Senior Han Yi."
"You're welcome. Since you're all calling me senior, if I don't show you some real skills, you'll think I'm just bragging," Han Yi said with a smile.
