Chapter 150
Time flies…
In a blink of an eye, it’s the day for the film to start.
Su Mo, Yang Mi, Reba, Wang Xiaoyan and others also moved from Beijing to Jinling.
In the previous life, “Dying to Survive” had two filming locations.
One: Jinling
Two: Curry Country
So, in order to restore the plot to the greatest extent.
Su Mo decided to set the filming location in Jinling.
As for the filming location of Curry Country, Su Mo decided to shoot in China as well.
Because Prime Minister Zhang and Chief Zhao would never agree to him taking the risk of going to Curry Country just to make a movie.
And Su Mo himself also cherishes his life.
After all, if the news of the water-fuel engine leaks out, Su Mo will have to explain it if he goes to another country to hang out! Therefore, in the movie clip, the exterior scene of Curry Country. Su Mo plans to spend more money to build a slum and find some Indians to act. Even if it can’t be restored 100%, it won’t be far off. After all, compared with the shamelessness of many directors nowadays. Su Mo doesn’t use green screen to cut out pictures, and can build real scenes for shooting, which is very conscientious. At this time. It’s nine o’clock in the morning. Su Mo, headed by the director, and all the crew members. All gathered at the West Factory Gate of Jinling City. The surroundings were full of people watching the excitement and reporters who came from all over the place. After all, the news that Su Mo was preparing to shoot a movie. After this period of brewing, the heat was too high. This also made the six guards who were protecting Su Mo feel a lot of pressure.
…
“Auspicious day has arrived!”
“Hold the opening ceremony!”
After the stagehand shouted.
All the actors and staff came to the table covered with red velvet one by one.
On the table were statues of Guan Erye and various gods.
On both sides were roasted suckling pigs and delicious fruits and vegetables.
All the video equipment nearby was also covered with red cloth.
In Dragon Country.
Before all Chinese-language films start shooting, a opening ceremony will be held.
Although this practice also has a certain superstitious color.
But it is also to pray for a smooth shooting and a good start.
Su Mo was a soldier and did not participate, but he did not stop the actors and staff.
You can not believe in other people’s beliefs, but you must also respect them.
Half an hour later…
The tedious opening ceremony ended.
As the director, Su Mo stepped forward and personally took off the red cloth on the camera.
Under the attention of the crowd, facing the cameras of various media.
Su Mo held the microphone and smiled:
“I announce: “Dying to Survive” has officially started filming!”
“Pa pa pa!”
As soon as Su Mo finished speaking, thunderous applause suddenly rang out at the scene!
Then.
After answering several reporters’ questions, Su Mo sent them away.
Put all his energy into filming.
…
In front of a dilapidated building.
After all the crew members arrived.
Su Mo began to explain the script carefully to Xu Zheng who was putting on makeup.
“You play Cheng Yong, the owner of a magic oil shop.”
“Now you are middle-aged, without a car or a house.”
“The shop is deserted and can’t even pay the rent.”
“You are now just smoking and playing cards, living a muddle-headed life.”
“Your father is sick and you have nowhere to go, so you can only leave him in a nursing home.”
“Your wife divorced you many years ago because of domestic violence. Now she comes back to fight for the custody of your son and says she wants to take your son to immigrate.”
“…”
Sitting on a chair, Su Mo, wearing a vest, explained seriously.
Cheng Yong, who was reciting the lines and putting on makeup, kept nodding.
Ten minutes later.
Su Mo picked up the intercom:
“All departments are ready!”
“Cameras are in place!”
“Actors are in place!”
“Start!”
Su Mo did not shout “Action!” like other directors.
Although he is very good at Eagle Language and has passed Level 6 in college, he can communicate without any obstacles.
But in Su Mo’s opinion, this is a Chinese-language movie, and the actors are all Chinese.
Since everyone can understand Chinese, why do we have to talk about Yingwen?
You used to say this before, are you used to it?
OK!
From now on, change it.
In front of the camera…
Xu Zheng immediately got into the state, showing his superb acting skills.
As a drama actor, Xu
Zheng, it’s easy for him to act in a movie.
If we rank them by the difficulty of acting.
Acting in a drama is easier than acting in a movie, and acting in a movie is easier than acting in a TV series.
Because a drama is shot in one take, there is no chance for you to make mistakes in the process.
Acting in a movie is not as difficult as acting in a drama.
But it is also very different from acting in a TV series, and the requirements for the facial expressions and emotional expressions of the actors are very strict.
“Cut!”
Su Mo, staring at the monitor, frowned and shouted “Cut”.
The camera paused immediately, and the actors on the scene looked at Su Mo with confusion.
In the eyes of everyone, Xu Zheng’s performance just now was obviously in place.
Whether it was expression or lines, there was no drag.
“Director, what’s the problem?”
Xu Zheng trotted over and asked nervously.
After pointing to the playback on the monitor.
Su Mo took out the carbon pen in his vest.
On the densely packed lines in the script, he carefully drew lines for Xu Zheng.
“Your state in this scene is that of a middle-aged man who has accomplished nothing.”
“The feeling I want is decadence, depression, frustration, annoyance, unwillingness, and a hint of depravity!”
“Only in this way can it be closer to reality, closer to the ordinary people, and resonate with the audience!”
Xu Zheng nodded repeatedly: “I understand, director, I’ll try again.”
Seeing Su Mo so serious, not even a facial expression was spared.
The on-site staff and other actors did not show much surprise.
As the saying goes, a new official takes office with three fires!
Many directors are very fresh in the first few days of filming.
They are meticulous about all kinds of details and cannot tolerate flaws.
After a while, they don’t have that patience anymore, and basically just want to be roughly the same.
After all, there is no other director like Stephen Chow who is rigorous and demanding perfection in every action and every line of dialogue of the actors.
Looking at the whole Dragon Country, there is really no second one.
Therefore, everyone on the scene thinks.
After Su Mo’s novelty wears off, he will be like other directors and will not skimp on details.
But before he knew it.
Three days later, a week later, half a month later…
The crew and all the actors were no longer happy.
Even Yang Mi, Reba, and Wang Xiaoyan, who thought Su Mo was just playing around, were almost numb!
Because everyone seemed to see a second Stephen Chow in Su Mo!
One shot.
One line.
One facial expression.
Su Mo would shoot dozens of times without getting tired of it.
Until he was satisfied with the shot and there were no flaws!
It was during these days as a director that Su Mo truly understood.
Why did those big directors in his previous life have such hot tempers and often curse on the set!
Because when shooting, every minute is really burning money.
If a small mistake leads to a reshoot of this scene.
Then, at least hundreds of thousands of dollars will be wasted.
Although Su Mo is now worth hundreds of billions, he doesn’t care about money as much as other directors.
But Su Mo’s time is very precious!
The actors can’t get into the state, there are problems with coordination between departments, and they fail at critical moments…
Or sometimes, a shot that is obviously perfect.
But it is ruined because of the laughter of the extras or the mistakes of someone.
It is so annoying!
Therefore, when the movie was only halfway through.
Su Mo’s originally gentle and elegant personality was almost tortured into a tyrant on the set!
