A post-apocalyptic boss aspires to dominate the entertainment industry

Chapter 73 Script Reading (please vote for recommendation)

The shooting time and related funds for each movie are extremely precious. In order to improve the efficiency of shooting, there is often a long preparation period before starting the movie.

Script reading is the second stage of the preparation period, also known as "rough rehearsal". Like the rough cut in editing, there will also be rough rehearsal when the actors gather together to discuss the script. Grasping the main emotions of the characters, correcting the lines, and even the screenwriter and director revising the script, etc., all happen at this time.

Qin Jue marked and memorized all of Mo Sen's lines as early as the day she got the script. A week later, she also clearly remembered all the members' lines and filming scenes.

But remembering does not mean understanding. The script reading is a good opportunity to answer questions for the actors.

At the end of the day, the person who talked the most was not the actors or He Xu, but the screenwriter Mu Sisi.

She was the third interviewer besides He Xu and Tang Ting when she auditioned for Mo Sen. Her screenwriting skills are well-received in the industry.

Text is different in novels and scripts. Novels can leave room for imagination, but scripts need to consider the scene at the time, the emotions of the characters, the rhythm of the dialogue performances, etc. A good writer is not necessarily a good screenwriter.

Being appointed by He Xu this time, Mu Sisi put in a lot of effort. She repeatedly studied the original work of "Daytime Rain" and had many conversations with the original author along with He Xu, and then gradually created a complete script.

Qin Jue has also read the original work, but in the original work, Tian Gang is the protagonist. The author is particularly good at depicting the stories of small people. He describes the low-level people like Tian Gang and Wang Dali in an extremely realistic way. It is a love story that is bitter and full of tears and smiles. Comedy is different from what He Xu wants to express.

Because of this, many of the doubts that arise when reading the script and the original work must be understood through Mu Sisi's detailed explanation.

He Xu's team has always been known for its high quality and efficiency. Within a week of joining the team, the actors didn't even have extra time to get to know each other. They looked up and down every day to review lines and rough rehearsals.

However, the progress and changes made by the six of them in various aspects can almost be described as "progress by leaps and bounds". Therefore, even if everyone is so tired that they fall asleep every day after returning home, they will continue to devote themselves to script reading the next day without any complaints. middle.

"stop!"

He Xu spoke out to stop Qin Jue's movements.

"The forward thrust was too strong and I missed the mark," he said.

Qin Jue closed his eyes and got out of his state, carefully looked at the positions of the surrounding cameras, and nodded.

There is no way, these are purely experience issues, mistakes that every new actor will make, and they can only be practiced through a lot of actual combat.

Everyone here knows that Qin Jue has only filmed "The Cage", and no one is gossiping. Qin Jue himself admitted his shortcomings openly and immediately adjusted his mood and started over.

Rough rehearsal not only helps actors familiarize themselves with lines and emotions, but also provides a large amount of material for shooting and designing shots.

Which scene is where the performance area is, whether the picture should be shot at a wide angle or a close-up, and what the actual positioning is, all of these are scheduled and adjusted in rough rehearsals.

After every scene, the director of photography, the art director and He Xu would get together to discuss many things. Qin Jue sat cross-legged and listened openly.

At first, He Xu wanted to look at her a few times, but then he was too lazy to care. He was planning to wait until Qin Jue paid attention to one thing before criticizing her. However, Qin Jue learned from others secretly, but did not put the cart before the horse. He was still careful and conscientious in his daily choreography, and He Xu saw it. Here, I just hummed in my heart, and during the subsequent discussion, I deliberately broke down some terms that both the photography director and the art director knew.

Qin Jue squinted his eyes and smiled silently, as if a Samoyed had been fed cookies. He had many evil intentions and continued to learn from his teacher with his ears raised.

After two weeks of this kind of life, during a script reading, He Chang and Wang Ming were stopped one after another by He Xu. The old man stood up and left without making a sound, holding a pocky in his mouth and flipping through the characters. Qin Jue, who was passing by, caught a glimpse of the two children who were worried and aggrieved. He sighed quietly and walked over.

"The position is wrong."

She sat next to the two of them and stretched out her hand to point to the wall, "This is a night scene between you two. It was filmed in the Central Park of N Town, T City, Ni Province. Did you see the photo on the wall? Yes, the third row. The fifth one from the right is that scene.”

Then, Qin Jue pointed to the camera and an empty spot nearby: "Look, the camera is on the left side, shooting you sideways. The street light in the photo should be over there, so Wang Ming's action of getting up from the bench itself There is no problem, but the angle you face A Chang will be backlit, and the shooting effect will not be achieved."

Seeing Wang Ming blinking and thinking, Qin Jue paused and said to He Chang:

"Ah Chang, you are too. You took a step too far. The contrast between Qiu Xue in warm light and Tian Gang in dark light was supposed to show the sincerity and eagerness of a girl's courtship and the inferiority and cowardice of a boy. You took this step too far. They retreated directly into the darkness. After the details were stacked up, the contrast between the two people's light and darkness was too strong. It failed to convey that the relationship was still alive, and instead seemed to be completely hopeless. How could this work?"

After these words were spoken, both of them suddenly realized.

In fact, these are relatively common mistakes. Logically speaking, they should not happen to actors like Wang Ming and He Chang who have three to five years of filming experience. It’s just that the lighting here is a bit tricky. Both of them focus on emotion and emotion. I thought about the movements, but ignored this point.

"Thank you, Teacher Qin!"

Although He Chang became an actor several years earlier than Qin Jue, he is very clear about his own trade. After watching "The Cage", he knew that he would never be able to act out the look in young Chi Na's eyes, so he had great respect for Qin Jue, who was capable but not as famous as him.

Little Flower Wang Ming had few scenes with Qin Jue's rival in the play, and the two did not have much contact with each other on weekdays. In addition, Qin Jue in the play was gloomy and terrifying. I originally thought she was not easy to get along with, but this time I immediately changed my mind.

"Thank you, Teacher Qin."

Wang Ming followed He Changdao.

It's a bit embarrassing to say that Qin Jue was only twenty years old after the Chinese New Year, and the actors present were more or less older than her. It was hard to find a title at the time, so she could only use the word "teacher".

"Excellent." Qin Jue shook his head, "Just call me by name."

He Chang shook his head quickly. Qin Jue's aura during rough rehearsals these days almost gave him PTSD. He couldn't call him "Xiao Qin" or "Qin Jue" by his first name.

Seeing He Chang's reaction, Wang Ming chuckled and changed the topic very considerately:

"Mr. Mori, how did you come up with the idea of ​​lighting?"

Mr. Mori? Qin Jue was a little amused, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and just accepted the title which was both respectful and playful.

"I overheard it in the past few days." She smiled, feeling not ashamed but proud of her stealing from his master. "When I was on the set of "The Cage", Director Jiang often mentioned the issue of lighting. I heard The more you notice, the more you notice.”

He Chang and Wang Ming said "Oh" at the same time.

"It sounds like it will be very helpful." He Chang muttered to himself.

"Indeed." Wang Ming nodded, "Mr. Sen said this, and I also think actors should have some knowledge in this area."

She said it, but she knew in her heart that it was difficult to do this. Any actor who wants to act seriously has to endure a lot of hardships. In addition to memorizing lines and studying roles, practicing martial arts and paying attention to camera movements are already complicated and cumbersome. Qin Jue can stop working and still have the energy to learn secretly, and actually learn it. It's really rare for an actor to be able to do it.

"There's no harm in learning more." Qin Jue nodded, "Now it's just a round-up of the script. The more preparation you have in the early stage, the easier it will be for subsequent filming."

She took the initiative to hand over the notes she had compiled after studying secretly these days, and started talking on a certain page:

"Look here, the camera movement in this part is to express...

"When shooting here, a virtual focus will be used, but the eyes in the virtual focus still have to...

"The lens used here is not specifically designed to take close-ups. The portrait is likely to be deformed, so the range of movement is..."

He Xu had rested in the next room. When he came back, he saw three people sitting in a group. He could also vaguely see the pocky in Qin Jue's mouth swaying as he spoke.

"Hey. Director He is back." Qin Jue heard the footsteps early and patted the two children, "Remember what I said before and go."

He Chang and Wang Ming nodded hurriedly and returned to the clearing in the middle.

After performing it once, both of them held their breath, waiting for the director's opinion.

After a moment of silence, He Xu said expressionlessly: "Okay, next game."

The two of them immediately opened their eyes and suppressed their subconscious smiles. He Chang glanced to the sidelines, and Qin Jue looked up from the biography and made a cheering gesture.

Somehow, He Chang's remaining nervous mood suddenly calmed down miraculously. He bowed to He Xu and rehearsed the next scene with Wang Ming.

He Xu noticed their interaction and was briefly lost in thought. His eyes moved towards Qin Jue.

All she could see in her field of vision was the frizzy top of her hair, the pocky, and the dense notes in her hand.

He Xu snorted lightly and stopped looking.

There was a faint smile on his lips.
