"Are you familiar with this part of the script?”Zhou Xingchi asked.
He had to be familiar with it! He had already seen the finished product, let alone the script!
For such a classic movie, Zhang Chu had memorized almost everyone's lines.
"Then later, if you feel that any of the extras or actors are in the wrong position, you can tell them not to enter the camera.”
Of course, Zhang Chu understood what Zhou Xingchi meant. For a long shot like this, the director had to shout out the positioning while filming. It could be said to be very complicated, and Zhang Chu was playing such a role.
When the time came, the sound that was not related to the film would be dealt with in the post-production.
"Alright, don't worry. Leave it to me." Zhang Chu said with a smile. Having seen the film, he was confident that he could do it well.
When everyone was ready, Zhang Chu held the loudspeaker and stood at a place where the camera could not shoot.
Zhou Xingchi also held a megaphone and shouted,"
"Is everyone ready?"
The extras and actors who were in position gave Zhou Xingchi an OK gesture.
"All cameras in position! Once in the ninth match, action!”
Zhang Chu held the loudspeaker and followed behind the camera. As the camera slowly walked into the slums, he held the loudspeaker and shouted,
"Let's go, let's go! Don't look over here, do what you need to do and keep up the pace!”
Most of the extras and actors here had never seen Zhang Chu before. They were puzzled by Zhou Xingchi's sudden decision to let Zhang Chu take on this job. What ability did such a young man have to control the pace of this scene?
"Hey, that one over there, why are you standing there motionless? Let's go. We can wash the vegetables or carry the load!”
Zhang Chu's observation skills were really good. Initially, that person thought that the camera did not capture him. Anyway, it did not matter if he moved. Who knew that Zhang Chu would still see it.
"It's morning. Come here and get some water to wash your face!”
All the cameras were shooting different scenes. At this moment, camera number one had already arrived at A Gui's breakfast shop, and Zhang Chu was following behind.
Yuan Hua was eating breakfast inside when Zhang Chu said,""When you're ready to leave later, remember to take two more youtiao. This way, you can better reflect the character of a small character who likes to take advantage of others.”
Yuan Hua was indeed an experienced actor. Although he praised Zhang Chu's idea in his heart, he remained expressionless and continued to act!
Then, the camera followed him to the tailor shop, interacted with Bucktooth Jane for a while, and then began to shoot the sauce explosion, hair washing, and water stopping.
"Landlady!"
"Open the window!" Zhang Chu shouted. Immediately, the window of the leftmost room on the top floor opened.
the autumn dew in the garden comes out.
"Why is there suddenly no water?"”
On camera 7, Yuan Qiu came downstairs from above. At the same time, an extra standing on the second floor laughed because of the silly expression and voice of the sauce explosion. He laughed so hard that he bent forward and backward.
"Kakaka!" Zhang Chu quickly made a stop motion with his hand.
The crowd stopped. Zhou Xingchi walked down from the camera and said,""What's wrong?"
Zhang Chu pointed to the second floor of the attic and said,""Someone over there is laughing too hard. He has just entered camera number one, so he has to stop.”
Zhou Xingchi had been staring at camera number one the whole time and had not noticed the expression of the person on the second floor. He had been paying attention to Yuan Qiu the whole time and did not expect Zhang Chu to see this scene.
"Is that so?"
Zhou Xingchi quickly went to camera number one and rewound the video. As expected, he found that the person on the second floor was smiling strangely.
If they were to finish the scene in one go, they definitely wouldn't be able to pass. If they had to wait until the filming was done before checking, who knew how much time would be wasted. If they could find the problem at the first moment, they could improve as soon as possible and wouldn't have to waste too much time handing in the paper.
Zhou Xingchi gave Zhang Chu a thumbs up and said,"
"Your eyesight is really good. You even discovered this!”One had to know that when filming, the most troublesome thing was the extras. Sometimes, they really couldn't help but laugh.
There were also some TV series where the extras were more or less out of sorts, but such situations were not allowed in Zhou Xingchi's movies.
Zhou Xingchi waved at the person standing on the second floor and said,"
"Come over here!"
Soon, the person walked down. It was a middle-aged man.
"Xingye."
Zhou Xingchi said,"
"Do you know what you did wrong?”
"I know, I know!" The middle-aged man was really embarrassed.
" Because of you, the whole scene has to be re-filmed…" Zhang Chu tugged at Zhou Xingchi and said,""Master Xing, forget it."
Then, he came to the uncle's side and said,"
"Uncle, if you really can't help but want to laugh, just stand by the corridor with your back facing the courtyard. This way, you can avoid making mistakes. Sometimes, when I ask you to stand in that position, you don't necessarily have to face the camera.”
The uncle felt that Zhang Chu's words were very reasonable after being enlightened by Zhang Chu. He was especially grateful to Zhang Chu in his heart and said,
"Thank you, young man."
"Okay, you can go."
"Actually, it's not that I like to criticize people. Sometimes, some extras are really a headache. The entire scene had to be refilmed because of an unimportant character. Not only was this a waste of the character's energy, but it also wore down the character's patience.”
After the uncle left, Zhou Xingchi said to Zhang Chu with some emotion.
Zhang Chu also echoed,
"Yes, I understand how you feel, but there are no unimportant characters in the movie. Every supporting role, including the extras who don't have any lines, is an important character in the movie.”
"Because every scene is completed by everyone involved. This is the only way to complete the scene perfectly. There was a saying that a miss could lead to a thousand miles of error.”
He understood Zhou Xingchi's distress very well.
For example, some big-name actors did not have a schedule. It was not easy for them to find time to shoot, but because of an insignificant small character's mistake, they had to reshoot a few times or dozens of times. The actors were easily affected, and even the patience of the entire crew would be affected.
Zhou Xingchi could not help but look at Zhang Chu in surprise. He did not expect Zhang Chu to have such a deep understanding of movies at such a young age.
Although Stephen understood this principle, sometimes patience would make him forget about it.
A film that was completed with patience would definitely not be bad.
Zhou Xingchi nodded and said,"
"Yes, I'm not afraid of trouble. I'll try my best to present every scene to the audience with the best editing and images.”
He was indeed a little tired after all these years.
For example, the movies he had made in recent years had all failed to sell well. The ratings on the bean sprouts were not high, and some netizens even said that Zhou Xingchi had run out of talent. This had a lot to do with patience.
Zhang Chu picked up the loudspeaker and shouted,"
"Alright, all departments, get ready! The second round is about to begin. Thank you for your hard work! Please be careful!"
"The second time of the ninth round, action!”
