It includes characters, plots, soundtracks, venues, photography, costumes, props, post-production and other links in a big movie. It is equivalent to a reduced version of a big-screen movie, which is suitable for a fledgling director like Xiao Yunhai to shoot.
Xiao Yunhai brought the script to his teacher Yao Wenyuan and asked him to read the script for him.
After reading it, Yao Wenyuan took off his glasses, and said to the student he admired the most: "This book is very good and makes people feel very warm. Did you write it?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded, and told Yao Wenyuan about his plan.
Yao Wenyuan thought for a while and said, "Who are you going to cast as the male and female protagonists?"
"Teacher, I want to challenge the male lead?"
"You?" Yao Wenyuan was startled, he frowned, looked at Xiao Yunhai from top to bottom, and shook his head: "You are too young. Although the current makeup technology can turn you into a flawless middle-aged However, it is very difficult to act out the experienced and gentle mature temperament of the protagonist in the play.”
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said: "Teacher, I understand what you mean, but I have the confidence to interpret him well. In fact, I am most worried about other actors, especially the heroine. The students in our school are too young. Do you know if there is any suitable candidate for the teacher?"
"You kid? You have so much confidence in yourself, but when it comes to other people, it's obviously distrustful. You can play a middle-aged man. Could it be that other female students in our school can't play middle-aged women? Hmph, typical Only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps."
Hearing Yao Wenyuan's words, Xiao Yunhai could only sit there and giggle embarrassedly.
Yao Wenyuan thought for a while, and continued: "In our school, the only one who fits the image of a well-educated, gentle and mature heroine is Teacher Zhang Xiaoyan."
Xiao Yunhai's eyes lit up. Teacher Zhang Xiaoyan is 34 years old this year. She is a teacher in charge of physical education at a film school.
Xiao Yunhai hesitated: "Teacher, Teacher Zhang is really suitable. But is she willing to play the role?"
Yao Wenyuan said with a smile: "I'll call and ask. I think there shouldn't be any problems. She has always been very supportive of the students' activities. And her daughter is very smart and cute. She can definitely play the role of the protagonist's child."
In front of Xiao Yunhai, Yao Wenyuan called Zhang Xiaoyan.As soon as Xiao Yunhai asked her to act with her daughter, Zhang Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
The protagonist's family of three has been found, and the rest of the supporting roles are naturally very simple.
With Yao Wenyuan's help, Xiao Yunhai applied for shooting equipment from the school.
The venue chose Zhang Xiaoyan's newly renovated building. Xiao Yunhai found a good hotel and rented an entire floor with money. The clothes worn by the actors were also tailored according to the figures of the characters.
As for the cameraman, lighting engineer, artist, make-up artist and other crew members, Xiao Yunhai has also found them all. They are all students with the best grades in various majors of Beijing Film Academy.
As soon as they heard that they wanted to help with filming, they all immediately agreed.Naturally, they would not let go of such a good opportunity.
Before the filming started, Xiao Yunhai invited all crew members to have a meal together in the hotel, which can be regarded as the kick-off banquet of "Time Gate".
During the dinner, Xiao Yunhai solemnly thanked Teacher Zhang Xiaoyan, who not only agreed to act, but also donated his house as a shooting location.Xiao Yunhai was very grateful in his heart.
The other students were all very excited, this is serious filming.
They have studied in school for three or four years, and they usually go to the film crew to hang out, at most they just watch it.Equipment like video cameras, the crew didn't even let them touch it, let alone test it.
The next day, Xiao Yunhai's first film "Time Gate" was officially launched.
Downstairs in the hotel, Xiao Yunhai lifted the red cloth covering the camera at once, and the production manager Zhang Xiang lit the firecrackers. Amidst the crackling sound, the crew clapped their hands excitedly.Everyone's dream will start from here.
Yao Wenyuan, the art director, looked at the cheering young people and sighed softly: "How difficult it is to get ahead in the entertainment industry, I don't know how many people can get along here. Maybe this The first film will be their last film."
The mature and dignified Zhang Xiaoyan pulled her daughter and said with a smile: "Mr. Yao is not too pessimistic. Young people should be full of energy like this, to fight and work hard for their ideals. No matter what the future results are, at least they will Have something to remember."
"I dare not tell others, but your student Xiao Yunhai has a bright future." Zhang Xiaoyan said while looking at Xiao Yunhai who was busy moving things with her classmates.
Originally, as a director, you don't need to do these physical tasks. You just need to tell the production manager, and they will arrange the props and equipment for filming before shooting.
But the crew of "Time Gate" are all students from the film school, and they didn't even ask for a penny, so they can't put on airs with them.
So whether it is the director or the photographer, we all help together.Fortunately, there were a lot of people, and after two trips back and forth, it was all done.
Xiao Yunhai had been here before, and since the decoration had just been completed, there was still a strange smell inside.However, it does not affect the shooting.
In order to create a warm feeling at home, Xiao Yunhai put a big photo of him and Zhang Xiaoyan's mother and daughter on the wall, and put some small toys and desk calendars on the TV cabinet. In less than half an hour, Xiao Yunhai took everyone. The scene is set.
Chapter 88
For film and television dramas, the crew is a huge machine, and every part has its meaning of existence.
And the director is the core that makes them move, that is, the biggest power device, responsible for coordinating all departments, making them twist into a rope and go in the direction they want.
Undoubtedly, Xiao Yunhai did a very good job on this point.
Originally, Yao Wenyuan was also worried that Xiao Yunhai would be a bit overwhelmed and at a loss what to do when he directed a play for the first time.It can be seen that he was commanding with certainty and ease just now, as if he had been in the industry for several years, and he completed all the work before shooting with ease.
After finishing the arrangement, Xiao Yunhai carefully inspected it again, and suddenly felt that something was missing, and the whole environment was a little monotonous, but he couldn't figure out what was missing for a while.
At this moment, Xiao Yunhai suddenly discovered that Zhang Xiaoyan's daughter Yinuo was eating a big apple.
Xiao Yunhai's eyes lit up, and he said to Zhang Xiang next to him, "Zhang Xiang, go down and buy some apples and bananas, and also buy a red tray and a yellow tray for fruit, and put them on the coffee table in front of the sofa."
Zhang Xiang nodded and said, "Understood."
While he was going shopping, Xiao Yunhai asked his classmate makeup artist to put makeup on himself and Zhang Xiaoyan's mother and daughter.
It was very simple for their mother and daughter, just rub some makeup on their faces and put on the clothes Xiao Yunhai chose for them.
But Xiao Yunhai's makeup was a bit troublesome.If you want to transform him from a young man into a mature man around 36 or seven years old, the makeup artist can't do it without two brushes.
The makeup artist that Yao Wenyuan hired for him was a sophomore female classmate named Che Yali.
This is a dexterous girl, petite and exquisite, smart and pleasant, with two dimples on her face when she smiles.
In school, she claimed to be a rare genius makeup artist in ten years.Once turned a male classmate into an old man in his 70s, and then let him walk around the classroom, but none of the classmates in the classroom recognized him.
Because Che Yali's teachers regarded her as a treasure, even Yao Wenyuan had to work hard to come here.
The so-called man with a reputation who has nothing in vain, Che Yali smeared Xiao Yunhai's face for 10 minutes, and then a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance and an extraordinary appearance appeared in the mirror.
Xiao Yunhai admired Che Yali's skills very much, gave her a thumbs up, and said, "Junior Sister Che, you are too good."
When she was working, Che Yali had a serious face, and she usually didn't talk to anyone, but she was very lively down there. Hearing Xiao Yunhai's compliment, Che Yali said triumphantly: "Of course, I But a genius girl."
Xiao Yunhai laughed, and closed his eyes for a while.When it was opened again, all the vigor of a young man was gone, replaced by the maturity and elegance of a successful man.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai's temperament changing so quickly, Che Yali's eyes widened in shock, showing an incredulous expression.
This acting is also amazing.
Xiao Yunhai gave Che Yali a faint smile, opened the door, and walked out of the room.
When the crew heard the voice, all their eyes turned to him, and then their expressions were all fixed on their faces without exception.
"This is Xiao Yunhai who just walked in, isn't this amazing?"
"I was worried that he was too young to play a good role, but now it seems that it is tailor-made for him."
