Chapter 188: How About Adding a Scene
It couldn't be blamed that those people would have this kind of thought.
*Letter from an Unknown Woman* had been filming for a while, and it had always been Jiang Wen who scolded people.
How should I put it.
Li Luo was the first guy since the start of filming who dared to let him pull back.
Didn't expect the muzzle to turn.
With a bang, it hit himself.
"You continue."
Exceeding the expectations of those people around, Jiang Wen smoked his cigarette slowly and leisurely, not minding the "offense" of the supporting role.
"They all say scholars fear soldiers."
Li Luo thought for a while and tapped the table lightly: "You couldn't tell from you just now. The momentum you released was too full. I think you need to bring a little respect to my character."
"In addition."
Looking at Xu Jinglei again, he stood up and gave his opinion: "When shaking hands just now, can I take a step back first?"
With a spin of his steps, Li Luo faced the lens sideways.
The movement looked quite silky.
"No intention to steal the scene."
He gestured the handshake posture and said unhurriedly: "This way I won't be completely back to the lens, and the composition formed in front of the lens will have more layering."
The few extras at the table next door.
Were all trembling a bit.
Didn't expect this guy to fire at the male and female leads and the director at the same time.
But thinking back.
Li Luo was also a very popular TV actor, so saying these things still had a bit of confidence.
Gazes kept falling on the few of them.
Li Luo felt that this was giving suggestions normally, not directing others on how to film. If it wasn't accepted, it would be treated as if it hadn't been said, which was not a big deal.
"Take a look?"
Xu Jinglei looked at Jiang Wen.
The latter shrugged and stood up to walk towards the monitor.
Li Luo naturally followed.
Saying it a hundred times is not as direct as watching it once.
Following the playback of the picture just filmed, Xu Jinglei also felt that something was wrong. Jiang Wen's momentum was too full, and she could also notice that Li Luo was intentionally controlling the rhythm.
But he was still steadily suppressed by the other party's momentum.
And this standing position.
Indeed, there was also such a problem.
When the officer stood up to greet again, he was basically back to the lens, capturing only the wrinkles of his clothes, which did not form a conflict of the relationship between the three people behind their backs.
"I do need to pull back a bit."
Before they could speak, Jiang Wen nodded in agreement: "Although the writer is arrogant, he will be more or less weak in the face of this uniform. I need to add a bowing movement."
"Pull it in a bit more, and it's about right."
Jiang Wen was very strong when filming, no matter what big-name director it was, he would fight for it most of the time.
But at the same time, he could also listen to other people's opinions.
He wouldn't be arbitrary!
"What about the standing position?"
Xu Jinglei continued to ask.
"Change it too."
Jiang Wen made the final decision, biting the cigarette butt and saying: "Don't be so rigid when filming. You can compare a few versions, and use whichever is appropriate. As long as the effect can be achieved, wasting a little time is a fart."
When being lectured, Xu Jinglei could only nod honestly.
Around them.
The executive producer stood like a warning line, not letting anyone hear the conversation between them.
This movie must be filmed by the talented woman Xu Jinglei.
As for Jiang Wen.
He was also a dedicated actor who would absolutely not point fingers at the director's work.
No way.
Jiang Wen had been playing some supporting roles from time to time during this period, and the reputation of being difficult had been reported repeatedly. He couldn't deepen the impression that he liked to direct the director here.
The three discussed a few words, and the filming work continued.
Another order was given.
The extras on the dance floor danced gracefully.
Even outside the lens, Li Luo still maintained the corresponding demeanor, smiling and holding Xu Jinglei's hand as they walked to the table.
To tell the truth.
His appearance.
For a girl like Xu Jinglei, it had great lethality.
Before, in order to move up, she chose to rely on a big shot in the Beijing circle. That big shot's talent was definitely nothing to say, but his appearance was really lacking. Perhaps she was out of a kind of compensatory psychology.
Nowadays, there is a great deal of interest in fresh, young actors like Li Luo, who possess both handsome features and a unique aura.
Her gaze swept across the other party's profile.
Xu Jinglei took light steps, driving the elegant evening dress to walk forward.
The front part was not much different from just now.
Coming to the step of introduction.
When Li Luo stood up, he retreated without a trace, his figure naturally forming a side-standing posture in front of the lens, and he shook Jiang Wen's extended palm with a smile.
When the latter held Li Luo's hand, a smile flashed on his face.
At the same time, he bowed quickly.
Although he straightened his waist again quickly, the momentum of the whole person was far less than just now.
This ability to be flexible.
Made Li Luo feel addicted.
Some actors show off their acting skills crazily when filming, naturally becoming the focus of the whole scene, attracting countless praises.
But in his view, those actors are not considered powerful.
A truly powerful performer.
Can be high and low.
Can race wildly with similar opponents, and when facing actors with poor levels, can moisten things silently to set the other party off comfortably, without feeling uncomfortable when taking the play.
Just caring about one's own pleasure is not a skill.
Being able to take others to enjoy it together is the real level.
After this scene was filmed, the few returned to the monitor to observe if there was anything wrong with that part just now.
This time, Li Luo didn't speak anymore.
A sense of proportion is very important.
To put it plainly, he was just a supporting role, and it was no problem to give some opinions appropriately.
Being talkative is easy to be annoying.
"Better than just now."
Jiang Wen spat out smoke, his expression quite satisfied.
"I think so too."
Xu Jinglei held out her palm to the side.
"Slap."
Li Luo patted it lightly.
Filming continued, Xu Jinglei went to the middle of the dance floor to film a dance shot, then sat down behind the monitor solidly, directing the camera to be placed in the middle of the crowd, diagonally facing Jiang Wen and Li Luo's direction.
This kind of lens, filmed with a peeping taste.
The angle of substitution for people.
Was the heroine's vision.
Observing the two people closest to her from this angle, the dancing figures in front of the lens, also indicated the heroine's restless heart.
In the monitor, Li Luo and Jiang Wen clinked glasses and drank.
The two laughed heartily from time to time.
The curling smoke added a few hazy colors to their faces with their own charm.
Under Jiang Wen's intentional gathering, Li Luo's aura at this time was not weaker than his, and he substituted the feeling of drinking at home usually. What was presented at this time was an extremely natural performance.
Making Xu Jinglei unable to help but support her chin.
Actually, in the script, the role of the officer mainly serves to set off the male and female leads.
The weight is very light.
Now seeing Li Luo's performance, she tapped her knees quickly, thinking in her heart whether to add one or two minutes of scenes for the other party, making this character image look more three-dimensional.
The butt determines the head.
Sitting in the director's position, Xu Jinglei would not be afraid of others acting brilliantly.
The thought of stealing the scene did not exist even more.
The better Li Luo performed.
The more it could add glory to the movie.
Time came to the seventh day.
The crew transferred to the Guangdong Guild Hall in Tianjin.
This place was built in the 23rd year of Guangxu, and it is the most complete and largest Qing Dynasty guild hall building preserved in Tianjin to date, among which the stage is antique, best able to film the charm of that time.
In order to film the scene of the male and female leads watching Peking Opera perfectly.
Xu Jinglei even found a Peking Opera master and invited the whole opera troupe to the scene.
Just the extras alone came to nearly a hundred.
Watching the play, running the hall.
Everything was available.
What was shouted at that time, what was eaten, everything was researched clearly. The staff pulled small carts and placed various nuts and snacks on the tables in categories.
Sometimes, using real objects is more cost-effective than props.
Buying dozens of catties of peanuts and melon seeds.
Saves time and effort.
Extras and staff came and went, and the scene was even more lively than when singing the play.
"Three, two, one, eggplant."
Among a group of female extras, Li Luo made a V-sign with a bright smile. If it was free time, he would never refuse such requests.
"Brother Luo."
A loud shout came from afar.
Saying goodbye to this group of warblers and swallows, Li Luo walked towards the Iveco RV parked in the distance.
The RV was Jiang Wen's.
When waiting for the play, they occasionally played cards, smoked cigars, and drank inside. Now this kind of thing is very fresh, and passersby couldn't help but look at it a few times.
On the set, an RV can greatly improve comfort.
No need to squeeze in a tent with people.
Hiding in the car blowing air conditioning, finding a female actor to lie down for a while when there is nothing to do, that little taste is not to mention how comfortable it is.
Li Luo inquired about the price and quickly gave up the idea of buying one.
It's not that he can't afford it, it's that it's completely unnecessary.
It's only useful when filming around Beijing. He has no interest in driving an RV to run around the crew, that is properly looking for trouble for himself.
After the treatment improves in the future, the crew will naturally provide this condition.
Pulling the door.
Li Luo walked up with a thud.
Inside the RV, several people were sitting on the sofa.
Except for the male and female leads, the screenwriter and executive producer were also on the scene. These guys were all old smokers.
Making the inside filled with smoke.
"Take a look."
Xu Jinglei took off her glasses and handed the A4 paper in her hand to Li Luo who sat down: "We discussed it and want to add a scene for you, making Captain Huang's character image more vivid."
"Specifically, it's like this."
"We are going to film the officer wanting to provide the heroine with a stable life."
"But was flatly rejected by the heroine."
"Then the two went to the theater to watch the play, and met the writer who also came to watch the play. Looking at the lover beside the other party, the heroine was annoyed by the impatient drum beats of the Peking Opera, so she left in a hurry."
Hearing this, Li Luo nodded.
What was going to be filmed later was the plot of watching Peking Opera in the theater, and he needed to bring out the cold emotion after being rejected.
He moved his gaze.
Looking at the paper in his hand.
"I want to add a scene after the two leave." Xu Jinglei gestured and said excitedly: "The officer sends the heroine back to the apartment, the two walk up one after another, and both are silent."
"Looking at the heroine's background, the officer wants to leave."
"But he can't bear to part with the other party."
Flicking the ash, Xu Jinglei continued: "Coming to the door, the officer makes up his mind, but at this time the heroine realizes this, so she brings the unwillingness of seeing the writer's debauchery in the theater."
"And engages in a fierce battle with the officer."
"How should I put it, it is both venting the sadness in her heart and a helpless choice in real life."
The literary young woman became more excited as she spoke, her eyes shining: "Finally, the heroine comes to the bathroom alone. She smokes quietly under the dim light, and the whole picture gradually darkens with the drifting smoke."
Originally, she just wanted to make the officer's image vivid.
But after brainstorming.
She found that filming according to this appearance would not only make the whole story smoother, but also make the heroine feel more like a duckweed in troubled times.
Added a few shots.
The officer's image would obviously be more three-dimensional.
Just looking at the temporary script in his hand, Li Luo raised his eyebrows high.
Adding scenes is a good thing.
Just didn't expect that a set of bed scenes would be added for him.
"Do you have any concerns?"
Seeing Li Luo not speaking, Xu Jinglei immediately said: "Actually, the scale of filming won't be too large. Brother Wen and I also have this kind of scene. I will control the scale, don't worry!"
"That's right."
Jiang Wen bit the cigar and said casually: "Actually, I suggest you can try it. Actors shouldn't limit themselves with any frames. This is not some erotic movie."
He, of course, didn't care about this stuff.
In *In the Heat of the Sun*, Ning Jing showed him a great thunder, and when Li Luo saw that scene back then, his eyes almost couldn't be pulled away.
*Let the Bullets Fly*.
The shaking giant thunder also amazed many people's time.
Actually, directors and actors like them who like to play art films often don't take things like that in their pants to heart.
It came too easily, so it looked very plain.
Everything is based on the effect.
Film it first.
If it really doesn't work, just cut it!
"As for the remuneration."
Xu Jinglei thought Li Luo was because of money, so she wanted to make up a sum of money for him.
After all, this scene was not in the script.
It was also right to make up some money.
"Stop!"
Li Luo interrupted her words and replied calmly: "Old Xu, talking about remuneration is slapping my face. I'm just thinking about how to perform that state, you just film it."
Sometimes you have to talk about remuneration, sometimes you can't.
Face is given to each other.
As for this scene.
In terms of identity positioning, he first positioned himself as an actor.
Then as an actor.
Filming some scenes with a larger scale is nothing at all.
Li Luo wouldn't have any idol baggage, and having the opportunity to compete with this talented woman with outstanding temperament, maybe he could get some rewards. Anyway, he couldn't think of any reason to refuse.
"I said Li Luo is not that twisted."
Jiang Wen put a hat on him and poured wine with a smile: "With his figure, it's a waste not to show it off."
"It turns out you want to see it, right?" Xu Jinglei glanced at him and handed the whiskey to Li Luo: "I won't say thanks. Sister Xu will have one with you. You'll have to work hard to work overtime tonight!"
Since the other party gave so much face, she naturally couldn't be sloppy.
Leaving a sentence.
The literary young woman drank half a cup of foreign wine neatly.
The matter was settled.
There was a trace of a smile between her eyebrows.
"You're welcome."
Li Luo was about to accompany her for one.
It was also at this time that the door was slapped with a bang, followed by a creak as it was pulled open: "Alright, you all are drinking without waiting for me!!!"
Waving to disperse the smoke, the person who came in walked onto the car with big strides, swinging her short hair.
Bright teeth and clear eyes.
The whole person seemed to bring sunshine into the car. ===== CHAPTER 189 =====
