Chapter 197 Laughing

In fact, just a few days later, "Youth in Youth", which has been in preparation for a long time, officially started filming in Chongqing.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Han Sheng got up.

It seems that he seldom gets up so early when he is filming modern dramas, because generally it is important for actors to have a good rest, so when filming costume dramas, he needs to do his hair, change clothes, and may also involve some makeup issues. He got up earlier.

But this play doesn't really have to.

At least not originally.

What the director hopes to present is the original state of the two actors. If possible, he even hopes to not use any makeup: it is rare to start using these cosmetics at such a young age.

In other words, the two protagonists in the movie don’t.

But the reason why Han Sheng woke up so early this morning was because of makeup.

"Come on, come on, actor is not in this state."

This is a sentence Han Sheng heard a few days ago.

The last time he heard this was probably when he was filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which was the first TV series.

And it didn't say that the state is not so serious.

At that time, Han Sheng was sitting in the dressing room, and the crew arranged the male and female actors together, saying that it was to cultivate more relationships, but in fact there were too many transitions so the conditions did not allow it.Han Sheng didn't care about it, he just watched Zhou Dongyu put on makeup, observed his state by the way, and thought about it.

On the first day of shooting, he only had one scene, the very simple one, just one scene.

Used at the beginning of the movie.

But this beginning is not the beginning of the storytelling. In fact, the first picture the audience sees is that everything has passed.And the story starts from here, it is told from the perspective of Chen Nian played by Zhou Dongyu, and a shot flashes by.

Liu Beishan, Xiaobei, played by Han Sheng.

"His skin condition is too good, it won't work."

So at that time, the director turned around from the dressing room to sculpt Zhou Dongyu, only to find out that there was something wrong with Han Sheng, who only needed to shoot one shot.

Because the director always thought that Han Sheng met him with makeup on, but after the meeting that day, he asked Han Sheng to take off his makeup.

His face was inexplicable: I don't have makeup on?
The director was stupid at the time, because he had seen many stars, especially popular ones.Running and running non-stop every day, all kinds of drinking parties, all kinds of social networking, in fact, the whole person, especially the state of the face after removing makeup, is relatively miserable.

From this point of view, Han Sheng is a rare exception.

That's why he said that, and then continued to arrange: "I have no choice but to put some makeup on him. Also, why don't you let him eat some spicy hot pot at night, and it would be better if he has some acne."

Han Sheng remembered that he tried to order the "slightly spicy" takeaway that day, and it was full of red oil and spicy peppers.
He said silently:
"Director, if I can keep my stomach healthy when I'm filming, it might be better."

Don't eat hot pot at that time, I don't know if the state is good, people will just GG.

So the final result is that Han Sheng got up early to put on makeup.

Coincidentally, Zhou Dongyu was also there.

She was actually quite cheerful, and said with emotion: "I was the only one who had to get up early, but now I have someone to accompany me, what's wrong with me?"

Zhou Dongyu also has to do some styling today, but it doesn't need to be too much, the main thing is to prepare for the play, so he got up early.

Han Sheng, this is still a bit of special effects makeup.

So she continued: "Actually, when I first saw you, I was quite envious of your skin. No wonder you received the endorsement of such top-notch cosmetics, but now you want to paint it back instead."

As he spoke, he sighed: "Hey, it's been 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Why don't you say anything?"

"I want to say that too."

Han Sheng just threw out such a sentence, and then closed his mouth.

Of course, the makeup artist didn't have any complaints because his words affected her work, but she also found it funny.

Indeed, Han Sheng now how do you let him speak.

The pimples here are usually in the triangular area of ​​the face. Today, the director arranged for one on the corner of the mouth and the side of the cheek. It is best not to talk, as it will affect the makeup.

It turns out, good guy, Zhou Dongyu is chatty today.

Are you excited before shooting?

"Okay, I know."

Zhou Dongyu quickly shut up and waited quietly for him to finish putting on his makeup.

Only then did Han Sheng relax from the tense facial expression, feeling much more comfortable, and said with a smile, "It's finally healed."

"In the future, you will have to come here every day, so you probably have to get up early."

Zhou Dongyu still found it a little funny: "It feels like you have to experience what it means for an actress to get up early to put on makeup. When we were acting in the past, actresses basically got up early."

Han Sheng sighed: "Isn't it? I didn't think about it, but I had a good rest during this time. When I really start filming and stay up for a few nights, I guess my face will be in a bad state." .”

With that said, the two came to today's shooting location.

a classroom.

In Chongqing in July, it is not hot yet, but the air can still feel the humidity.

A city with rivers running through it is really different.

Han Sheng has been in Chongqing for several days, and he is still not used to this climate, which is completely different from the dry north.

Fortunately, there will be no such thing as acclimatization. Even in terms of food, Chongqing is also a big city, which covers everything, including food.Except for that time when he wanted to eat mandarin duck pot when he went out, and the people at other tables gave him a strange look, he was fine the rest of the time.

Just like filming this morning.

Han Sheng has a shot.

So first shoot Zhou Dongyu's part, she is so long, the director gave her enough time.Unexpectedly, the director Han Sheng also left enough time for filming, saying that he should have that kind of feeling.

what a feeling.
The director didn't say anything.

Just to say, don’t just look at this shot, but I hope you can use this shot to give the audience a preconceived deception, but if it is more advanced, the underlying logic of this deception is based on the truth.

"Come on, all departments are ready, 3, 2, 1, action!"

Teacher, a common occupation in life, according to a certain encyclopedia, this is a profession that makes a living by education, and it is also one of the oldest professions in human society.

It has also been very popular in recent years. Every year when the teaching resources are tested, it is always on the hot search.

But that's not the crux of today's story.

Chen Nian is a teacher. It seems that she teaches English.

Like all teachers, her daily job is to prepare lesson plans, stand on the podium, face the students in the audience, and teach them the lessons seriously.

Or maybe, sometimes, not so seriously.

“This used to be our playground
This was our playground
This is our playground”

On the whiteboard, Zhou Dongyu wrote the above three sentences.The camera gave a close-up, and she could only see her long hair slightly curly, hanging on her shoulders, wearing a blue dress, and her expression really looked like a teacher.

After watching this beginning, the director breathed a sigh of relief.

The characters stand still, because this is a close-up close-up shooting method.

This method means that the camera is basically on the face of the actor, and the picture that can only be shot is roughly the range that is displayed in the frame when everyone goes to take ID photos.

This kind of shooting method was very bold at the beginning of the film.

Because it gives the audience less information.

Therefore, actors have to give the audience details that they can believe and associate with limited information, including facial expressions.

Of course, more importantly, it is not for no reason that so much information has been given up. In this case, it is often necessary to emphasize one or two points in the minority.

"Does any student know the difference between was and used to be?"

The next second, she spoke.

In the picture, perhaps many people saw this time and realized that her face was a little lively when she asked a question: "Which classmate knows?"

"Was means the past." A ensemble student replied.

Zhou Dongyu quickly continued: "Actually, both mean once, but the difference is that if you use used to be, there is a sigh of lost paradise."

"." Then Han Sheng, who was also watching by the monitor, also sighed:
If he hears it for the first time, what will he feel?
Does your high school teacher agree with this?
Oh no, it should be the one I learned in junior high school. How did this sigh of losing paradise come from.If the translation question is written like this, guess how many points the teacher will give...

All right, this is really Han Sheng's first literary film, the director gave a lot of information, and the teachers have been helping him understand.But in fact, for Han Sheng, sometimes it is quite different.

Later, he gradually discovered some differences between the two, such as the understanding of the lines, which is actually very similar to this translation:

If the previous film was a literal translation.

This is the free translation.

He feels that these characters, more, add their own emotions in them to understand something, which is more personal.

Yes, more personal.

"Youth in Youth", or many other literary and artistic films, must have a "person" in the key things.It's the kind of movie that may be shot upside down, some logic is not clear, and the story is messy, but the people must be very memorable.

Obviously, Chen Nian is the one to be remembered.

"Have you all remembered? Then let's read it again."

“This used to be our playground
This was our playground
This is our playground”

The lines in the classroom were repeated, but her eyes gradually became empty, as if she saw the distant
"Crack! Very good, in good condition! Passed!" the director announced.

"Uh, director, have you passed?"

Han Sheng was a little dazed: "No more guarantees?"

"It's already exceeded my requirements. If you keep one, you may not be able to have the current state, but it will consume the emotions of the actors."

From the perspective of a director making a literary film, the actor's feeling is the most important.

It is also the most precious when it is performed for the first time.

He made a simple comparison to Han Sheng: "Even when filming, the first time you pass a certain street is different from the tenth time. You subconsciously feel like you are unknown and unfamiliar with this street. There are a lot less, and it is difficult for people to feel these details.”

Details are a very important plus item.

It can make the character more established.

"We still shoot with multiple cameras. You can rest assured that this material is definitely enough."

He can also understand Han Sheng's worry: "And don't worry, I don't take pictures like this every time. In fact, such a pass is quite rare. Anyway."

The director teased a little: "I think when you shoot later, there will probably be a little more."

It's not that the director thinks that Han Sheng is not good enough.

The main reason is that Han Sheng has discovered since he first met that this guy is too rational, too commercial, and too good at controlling himself.Sometimes I feel that he has a little sense of floating in the role, but Zhou Dongyu plays a certain type of role, which is actually her own.

It was like a fish in water, and it was so smooth.

Han Sheng's performance level is definitely difficult to touch this feeling, but the director is not in a hurry.

Take your time and start with this first shot.

This is very simple, but it's Liu Beishan's first appearance, and it's just in his imagination.

Liu Beishan, this name is too formal, perhaps more often the audience mentioned the word Xiaobei in this movie.

Because his name is too inconsistent with himself.

When I heard the name for the first time, I felt like a slightly serious middle-aged man, but the truth is just the opposite.

Xiaobei has been living on the streets since he was a child, living in the mud at the bottom of society. He leads a life that is completely different from that of high school students of his age. He fights and hangs around all day long, with no hope and no future as far as he can see.

He has his own views on the world, but he is powerless to break free from his own life.It wasn't until one day that he met Chen Nian played by Zhou Dongyu that he saw the light.

The script says:

She became the hope he most wanted to desperately achieve.

"Oh, really, you just have to look at the last sentence and make it look like it's a character set in some idol drama. Even adding some of the previous things, it's not particularly disobedient."

After filming the heroine's scene, the male lead's scene will be arranged.

In fact, there is also a section of Zhou Dongyu before this, with the same shooting environment and settings, so he can see something in advance.

And the final presentation of this shot is actually a warm yellow background with a blurred background. It does not require too much arrangement and cooperation. It is purely about Han Sheng himself, and it is purely on his own.

Han Sheng couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

The expression of excessive nervousness may be silence, or it may be due to excessive secretion of hormones, and began to become talkative: "When I really read it for the first time, it was more or less a literary and sad story."

If you upgrade and upgrade, you might reach the level of Guo Xiaosi, at least he will look like an old Guo Xiaosi.

"It's fine, you can also act like this to deceive the audience." The director laughed.

Han Sheng was helpless: "Don't tease me to play the director, I know what you want, that's it"

It's just that there are still some parts that I don't understand.

Because the script always provides only a few things, Han Sheng still needs to enrich the character himself.

How does it feel to live on the streets and live in the mud at the bottom of society?
The fights in the back were pretty good, and the hormonal collision of puberty made this kind of thing not common, but the so-called sight without hope, without future, is difficult to do.

At such a young age, it has already sunk.

What's more difficult is, how can such a life, or such a person, grasp the magnitude of the sinking?
Certainly not some gangsters under the age of 20 in the Neon Kingdom, who treat life as a joke, sinking into the darkness has long been the theme of life; and certainly not in a certain film by Wu Zhenyu, the whole surrounding sinks together , and even after he came out, he was asked to relapse into the seemingly ordinary thrilling; it was definitely not the hero in an idol drama, and the worst experience didn't even reach the shallowest layer of the so-called mud.

Either too ridiculous, or too heavy, or too playful.

Of course, what is more important at this moment is, in Chen Nian's eyes, what kind of person is Xiao Bei?

"All departments prepare!"

A few minutes later, the director greeted everyone, and then gave an order: "3, 2, 1, action!"

So, the camera immediately focused on Han Sheng.

Another big close-up, I put on such a long and delicate makeup in the morning, just to keep the chain at this time.

But in fact, it is still really terrible.

"Young You" is actually a somewhat experimental film, because there are few films that dare to use so many close-ups and close-up shots, and the follow-up is always continuous.

In other words, in many cases, it is purely relying on actors to use some pictures to give information.Just like now, the limited frame almost confiscated the actors' limbs, costumes, and backgrounds.

Thanks to the imaginary characters, the performance can also be thinner.

In the camera, Han Sheng's face is completely presented.

This face was actually fabricated by a stylist, so it can't be called handsome anymore, at most it's not bad.Acne, small freckles, yellowish skin, and long hair covering his forehead are also styles that Han Sheng has hardly touched.

The point is, it's a little rustic.

The whole person is in the yellowish color, it seems a little nostalgic, and there seems to be a little bit of sadness.

So he smiled like this, wriggling his lips but looking straight into the camera, and finally showing a little bit of his teeth.

Here, it reminds her of her youth.

Chen Nian's youth was not the same as Han Gao's experience in high school. The most daily things were learning, learning, and learning.Boring is a bit boring, but there will definitely not be so many stories that happen to me, those things that are not beautiful.

But she looks back now.

In my memory, Xiao Bei was smiling. Against the background of the hazy warm yellow sun, he didn't smile that wide, but he was smiling.

"Crack!"

The director stopped, thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you just smile?"

This segment is actually a shot of two people smiling at each other. When Zhou Dongyu took the picture just now, he was smiling wide open, his face was full of smiles, his teeth were exposed, and his eyebrows and eyes were curved.

So it stands to reason that this is the imaginary Xiaobei, which should correspond to a similar expression - because after all, it is not real, but a fantasy, which will bring Chen Nian's personal thoughts.

Fantasies, or fantasies with a smile, most of them hope that the other party will be happier.

"This, actually, I think it's because I can't laugh."

Unlike when he was filming before, Han Sheng actually had no special communication with the director.He came to the door with the script, but he was told that he should act according to his own performance, and that there would be no changes after acting, because the actors should have unlimited possibilities.

Now, Han Sheng played.

"Why can't you smile?"

"The story, the story of the past, made her unable to let go of it even when she recalled it."

"So it's designed so that you can't laugh?"

"I thought so."

Han Sheng was a little apprehensive, but the director didn't say anything, and then let him pass it alone.

However, he added an additional sentence: "The overall direction is right, but there may not be so many details. But it's okay, I didn't expect you to show so much from the beginning, it's just that you have this trend now.
Anyway, give it a try, and it will be very convenient to take additional photos when the time comes. "

So Han Sheng was completely black lined, thinking that these literary and artistic films are not out of their minds?Talk about drama, don't explain clearly, leaving a mystery for him to keep thinking about.

But no matter what, the story officially begins with such a simple shot.

Gears turn, time flows.

The next scene is already returning to that unforgettable adolescence.
