Chapter 1147: The First Experience of Filming in the General Group

To be fair, Kong Jun is very hard-working and very talented. He draws smooth storyboards in the sketchbook at hand, and he is quick and decisive when implementing them in the shooting. Every camera position can produce just the right aesthetic effect, which is completely inconsistent. Like Sun Guangshan, the executive director of Group B (now Group C), it took many debuggings to finalize the final plan.

However, Kong Jun, who has such mature camera skills and excellent lighting, has no requirements for the actor's acting skills.

The most ridiculous time was when Qin Jue thought that Kong Jun was still in the pre-positioning stage and shouted "stuck" from a distance and said "this is passed".

pass?

What did you shoot that just passed?

Qin Jue looked at the playback on the monitor in disbelief (because Luo Ling was following her, so no one stopped her), and something even more incredible happened: she and Luo Ling in the camera were indeed handsome and good-looking.

Regardless of whether the actors' emotions are in place or whether the character's mood is properly displayed, it is indeed good-looking anyway.

Qin Jue was speechless for a moment.

This is Kong Jun's strength. He is like a chef hired at a high price by an internet celebrity restaurant. He has a great name and many certificates. The dishes he serves are among the best in terms of speed and sophistication, but the taste is not very good.

It seems like he is doing something real, but he seems not to be doing anything at all.

Luo Ling caught a glimpse of Qin Jue's uncertain face from the corner of his eye, and went to talk to Kong Jun with a smile:

"Director Kong, it seems that these few clips we just shot are not in the script. Where do you plan to use them?"

Kong Jun smiled and said:

"It's the opening song. 'Jing Chen' has already shown his face. It would be inappropriate to wear a mask in the opening song."

He raised his sketchbook to show to Luo Ling and Qin Jue, "I discussed it with Lao Liu yesterday. Aren't Liao Jingchen and 'Jingchen' two sides of the same body? Here we designed a scenario where you pass each other face to face, and then turn around. Back-to-back shot.”

He added: "We are working quickly in the post-production. When the fourth episode is broadcast, the opening theme song will be replaced with this new version. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, the opening and ending credits will be replaced with new content every three episodes. Fans see you there." Happy too."

When he talked about it, he sounded like he was talking about Easter eggs, with a bit of joking and a bit of intimacy, and it was such a clever idea to put it in the eyes of an ordinary crew, or in the eyes of amateur performers who didn't know much about this industry. and execution ability are enough to reflect the director's ingenuity and seriousness.

Only Qin Jue has high blood pressure.

"That's it. It's such a pity. If I had known I could act better, I wasn't in a good state just now." She smiled softly.

"Tsk, tsk." Kong Jun stretched out his index finger and tapped her in the air, "Teacher Xiao Qin will be humble!"

The camera director next to him laughed: "No, I think the performance just now was quite good!"

Qin Jue couldn't laugh.

To be honest, she somewhat understands why Luo Ling is in such a state of pretending to be serious about acting. He is praised like this every day. Taking two steps is called dedication, lowering his head is called entering the role, and closing his eyes hard is called spirit. When it comes to acting, over time it's easy for anyone to think of themselves as someone extremely powerful.

Before his face turned completely dark, Qin Jue raised his hand and hooked Luo Ling's shoulders and took him aside. The two of them walked away slightly with their backs to Kong Jun and others.

"You don't really think you acted well just now, do you?" She lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear her. Her lips barely moved, but her words were very clear.

"..." Luo Ling's face and voice seemed to be in different dimensions. He winked at Qin Jue and whispered:

"The overall atmosphere in the group is like this, the pace is very fast, and it's basically all done in one go."

"For better or for worse?" Qin Jue imitated him and faked a smile.

"Yeah." Luo Ling nodded.

"It would be great if your current acting skills like being a spy can be used in the drama." Qin Jue continued to say in a breathy voice, "It would be such a waste if you don't have to manage your expressions properly, right?"

Luo Ling almost stopped tensing up and nodded his chin with a distorted expression, as if he was suppressing a smile but trying to hold it back.

"So teacher, please help me -" He took the opportunity to act coquettishly.

Qin Jue's face twitched, and he reached out and patted Luo Ling's shoulder.

"Let's talk later."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pointed back, signaling: Go and do it.

Luo Ling blinked politely and turned back to Kong Jun and the others.

"What's the matter?" There were all smart people here. Qin Jue was "talking nonsense" to Luo Ling in full view of everyone. Now Luo Ling took the initiative to come over again. Kong Jun knew at a glance that he had something to say.

Luo Ling's eyes narrowed with laughter and he said, "Brother Qin asked me just now if the atmosphere in the team is full of praise. Everyone is so good at complimenting that it makes him embarrassed."

Kong Jun and the camera director were stunned and laughed out loud.

"Oh, our teacher Xiao Qin is quite cute." Kong Jun said happily.

"Yeah, Brother Qin doesn't like people to praise him in person. He's shy mainly." Luo Ling nodded.

"Let me tell you, no wonder he didn't look right just now, as if he wanted to say something but didn't say it." The camera director laughed.

"Yes, Brother Qin has a bit of a social fear. Moreover, he has just formed a group and is not familiar with everyone yet. He is embarrassed to talk about it himself." Luo Ling said with a smile.

Qin Jue, who used his extraordinary hearing ability to hear these words clearly: "..."

walk slowly.

Luo Xiaochai, you will confuse things.

With such on-the-spot adaptability and top-notch smooth-talking skills, even if you quit the industry in the future, you can still make a lot of money by doing some behind-the-scenes public relations and other work. You must be the leader of public opinion rhythm.

After Luo Ling cleverly explained, Kong Jun, the camera director and others cooperated very well and stopped offering those complimentary words. In the entertainment industry, knowing what is interesting is an essential skill, not to mention not using unnecessary words to a certain extent. Pi Neng saves himself a lot of energy, so he doesn't want to be praised. Although it is Qin Jue's "personal hobby", it also makes it easier for others, so it can be said to be the best of both worlds.

As for those who were agreeable on the surface but secretly complained in their hearts that they were "too difficult to serve even if they were flattering", Qin Jue couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it even if he could see it on their faces. After all, they were not conspiring with each other. As long as it's passable, there's no need to look at her too much.

The next filming work is still the Blood Pressure Bureau. As Luo Ling said, Kong Jun's filming rhythm is very fast, and his overall attitude is that of a person who cares about the outside but not the inside. Such a rush atmosphere makes Qin Jue unable to even open his mouth to interrupt. , the real-time blood pressure value jumps repeatedly up and down the safety line.

After a few more steps, Qin Jue figured out a special countermeasure, which was to directly treat the director and cameramen as formulaic tools to work automatically, without discussion or communication, and acting with the mentality that every step is the last one. The studio is a single-camera At the game scene, the scenes to be shot are fixed levels that need to be broken through. As long as he stands in the performance area, no matter whether Kong Jun, the NPC, says "shooting" or not, Qin Jue keeps his status at 100%, understanding, judging, and Challenge yourself and make your way through it.

It’s unimaginable that actors have to work alone to this extent when there is such a huge crew machine.

Very outrageous.

Back then, even in Group B, executive director Sun Guangshan would tell the story, but here with Kong Jun, a stand-in took care of all the moves that needed to be made in advance, and an assistant was there to make human flesh of the lines that needed to be memorized. Cheat sheet, if Luo Ling hadn't been "striving for success" on his own, even if his assistant Chen Liang recited a sentence and he repeated it, Kong Jun would not have any objections when the post-editing was spliced ​​into a smooth picture, and it would even be commonplace.

In Kong Jun's view, the greatest value of actors is reflected outside the play - there are countless fans willing to pay for them, allowing the work to recoup its costs, allowing the producer to make money, and the director to have food to eat - since the value has been fully exerted outside , then in the show and on the crew, what reason do we have to continue to be harsh on them?

People can make money by packaging, personality, and face. That is their ability.

As for the drama, just let people like you do the work. It doesn't matter what the actors do. They are responsible for making money and they are responsible for filming and editing. The tracks are different, so there is no comparison.

"Oh my, my, you memorized such a long line word for word, you worked so hard. We, Xiao Ling, have really worked hard from the time we started the movie to now..."

After Luo Ling finished his performance, Kong Jun looked like an old parent who learned that his first-grade child had just graduated from the Mathematical Olympiad. His expression was full of surprise and admiration, and if you look closely, he was also a little heartbroken.

If they didn't know that he was telling the truth, others might have thought that he was a superb actor and was using performance art to cleverly irony.

A group of people gathered around Luo Ling, some were videotaping, taking photos, and some were wiping his sweat, applying make-up, and fanning him. It looked like "the actor tried his best to complete the performance, and was praised by the staff present for his excessive dedication." scene.

Qin Jue, who was sitting next to him and reading the script, had no expression on his face.

Not saying he was criticizing, nor saying he was accepting it calmly, she would not laugh so much whenever Kong Jun showed the slightest bit of relief.

With such rhetoric and style, it is obvious that in Kong Jun's mind, the matter of "an actor reciting his lines" does not exist at all. He does not even think that "Luo Ling recites his lines well" is something worthy of recognition (although There is nothing to be certain about this basic quality), I just think that he has made extra efforts, like the boss of the company taking the initiative to work overtime without pay, how surprising.

The puppy raised by the alliance happily ran out of the circle and sat down next to Qin Jue.

Only the toes that kept grinding against the ground exposed his shame.

Qin Jue smiled brightly: "Isn't it embarrassing?"

"..." Luo Ling smiled brightly, "Brother, I'm almost dying of embarrassment."

The new "Four Special" international movie stars were watching, and he was praised by the crowd for memorizing a short line of about 120 words. Luo Ling can still manage his expressions now, all thanks to the thick skin he has developed over the past few years. .

Qin Jue smiled brightly: "The second sentence was broken incorrectly, the polyphonic characters in the third sentence were pronounced incorrectly, the 'ambience' of the atmosphere was one tone instead of four, and the penultimate sentence inhaled too loudly, and the pronunciation was too heavy. It’s artificial, the way you use the breath in the last sentence is self-defeating, and your speech is slurred. Isn’t it normal for you to sing? Why do you stretch your hips so much when you say the lines? Oh, you use dubbing, then it’s okay.”

Luo Ling smiled brightly: "Brother, please kill me."

Qin Jue's face froze in laughter. She suppressed her smile and said casually:

"Your assistant with the short hair standing diagonally across the corner took a lot of photos just now. Will I see something like 'Luo Ling's lines are all right after the best actor heard them' the next day?"

Luo Ling touched his nose in embarrassment and coughed.

"No." He whispered, "It's not the time for marketing yet. News of the group is usually announced to the public on the third or fourth day after the fourth episode is aired, and then the group photos and on-set stills of the actors are released. Let’s start selling actors’ ‘colleagues’ and promote the relaxed, friendly and positive atmosphere of the crew.”

He practiced the pronunciation of the word "ambience" in "atmosphere" correctly, showing that he was listening carefully to Qin Jue's words and was also correcting his mistakes attentively.

Then he paused and added: "Now the two characters of Liao Jingchen and 'Jingchen' are still separated. Such a title will make our fans think that the other side is sucking blood and heat, causing quarrels, and also affecting the promotion of Chen Rong CP and Lingyu RPS. Even if my team does this, Sister Yuyu will not agree."

After thinking for a while, he said again: "...and Mr. Qin, the entry you think of is a bit too rustic. Generally, the operation department does not say so."

Qin Jue: "You are quite honest."

Luo Ling: "...Yeah."

Qin Jue took out an orange-flavored hard candy from somewhere and handed it to Luo Ling.

Luo Ling took it in a daze, and sincerely performed the confused puppy who didn't know what he did and was suddenly rewarded by his owner.

Qin Jue: "I originally left it for Tang Nuo, but I didn't expect that Li Jingyu wouldn't come tonight and she wouldn't have to come. It's time to melt in my arms again."

Luo Ling: "...Oh."

Qin Jue: "I'm also offering you this to encourage you to continue to tell the truth in front of me."

Luo Ling: "!"

Qin Jue ignored Luo Ling's eyes that lit up instantly, and changed the subject: "I have to collect mental damage compensation for watching you filming, you have to know the score."

Luo Ling's non-existent puppy ears slowly collapsed: "...I understand."

Qin Jue raised his chin: "The lights over there are adjusted."

Luo Ling turned his head at her gesture: "Ah, then I-"

"Stand still." Qin Jue waved his hand slightly, "I don't really want to use the word 'acting' now."

"...Woo."

Luo Ling said goodbye to Qin Jue with a whipped, positive humiliation and pain, and then stood up and walked towards the performance area.

The filming work started at 3:30 in the afternoon and officially started at 5:30 in the evening. It lasted until 9:15 that night. High EQ: Kong Jun flexibly adjusts the scenes; Low EQ: Kong Jun cuts the scenes into small pieces. Qin Jue and Luo Ling completed many single shots that night. Some of them knew where they would be used in the plot, and some of them depended on where they would be inserted during the post-editing. When Kong Jun announced that he would be done for the day, Qin Jue's body silently exuded a numbness that had seen the vicissitudes of life.

I never thought that one day I would be filming in a crew. What I have to be wary of is the director.

She took a breath and brainwashed herself with the idea of ​​"self-help adventure", holding on to the last bit of fake smile to get through the greetings at the end. In the process, she did not forget to reject the invitation of the two assistant directors, "Why don't you move to a nearby hotel, Mr. Qin?".

It was tiring enough to play a set of social combos every day. Qin Jue didn't want to go out for a midnight snack in case he ran into someone in the crew and had to pretend to be nice to him/her for several rounds.

After get off work, I will not accept any company team building and socializing with colleagues after get off work. Please know.

The first night of the group was spent quietly with subtle fatigue. The next morning, Qin Jue sat in the car as usual, listening to Hu Changqia's report on today's production schedule on the way to the set, which was related to which scenes she was about to shoot.

A monologue, a rivalry with Tang Nuo, a rivalry with Tang Nuo... It's okay, being able to rub Tutu helps maintain her mental state.

Qin Jue matched the script and the original work one by one in his mind, occasionally distracted and slacking off to ease the nerves that were tense due to high vigilance.

Facing a director like Kong Jun who passed the film without thinking eight times out of ten, she must guard against it and be impeccable, so that he would not have the opportunity to mess up here.

"Captain Qin, we're here." Hu Changqia's voice came.

Qin Jue nodded slightly, bent down to get out of the car, and walked into the dressing room.

Familiar scented flowers, familiar refrigerator insulation box, extra newspaper racks.

Qin Jue stopped passing by and reached out to take a movie magazine of appropriate thickness from the shelf next to the locker.

"The Film Lover".

4300+, except for today (5.21), 5.2 was updated, and only 5.3 is left to be updated.
