Chapter 8: The first scene

Chen Nuo spent more than half an hour reading this script at a glance, and he deeply doubted whether Zhang Yiyi had some unspeakable complex.

It was about the same as the character plot Zhang Yiyi told him before.

But what Zhang Yiyi didn't finish saying at the time was that after Zhang Yaba was abandoned by Xiaozhu, he thought it was because he didn't have a house that Xiaozhu's family wouldn't agree to them being together. Zhang Yaba then decided to build a house himself.

That's right, build it himself.

But not with bricks and cement, he ran to a barren mountain to dig a hole. Finally, it took five years, experienced many difficulties, and dug out a house underground.

But when he went to invite Xiaozhu to visit his house, he found that Xiaozhu had already married, was holding a child, and moved into a tall building. Finally, Zhang Yaba went up the mountain alone, drilled into the house underground, and didn't come out again.

What kind of stupid magical plot is this.

Chen Nuo's head grew big from watching. Not to mention those unreasonable places, just the whole script revealed one word: miserable. Miserable from head to toe with green.

Chen Nuo didn't understand, would anyone watch such a movie? If people spent money, went to the cinema, and were fed such a big mouthful of shit, wouldn't Zhang Yiyi be afraid of being mailed blades?

If he dared to shoot such a short video in his previous life, he would lose a million fans that day.

Can only say this is film art.

Although he didn't understand, since he promised Zhang Yiyi, then let's do it, see what it can be made into.

He called Chen Bi and said a word, the next day he didn't go to class, and started to study the script with peace of mind.

Although Chen Nuo wasn't a material for studying, he could stay at home for two months during summer vacation and read books. Similarly, he didn't like this script with green poison at all, but it didn't prevent him from reading it for three whole days, from morning to night.

He first relied on rote memorization, according to Zhang Yiyi's requirements, and read the script thoroughly. Although there were some professional terms he didn't understand, such as long shot, close-up, push and pull, etc., he had short video experience, so he could guess what they meant.

After memorizing the script, he took a few sheets of paper and drew those long shots, close-ups, etc., on the paper according to the pictures in the script. Then he found that after doing this, the pictures in his brain were clearer, and even, felt the characters in his brain moved. So he became interested and decided to draw this script directly.

In the next week, Chen Nuo did nothing, except sleeping and eating, he was drawing. When Zhang Yiyi finally called him, he was drawing the last scene.

"Chen Nuo, prepare, we start shooting tomorrow. How is your script reading?"

Chen Nuo looked at the drawing in front of him, a stick figure, that was Yaba, he was lying in a circle, that was the cave. Looking down from top to bottom, Yaba was sleeping peacefully and calmly, five years, he could finally sleep in his own house.

"All memorized, director." Just a few words, Chen Nuo said a bit laboriously, as if he wasn't used to opening his mouth anymore.

When Chen Nuo rushed to the location Zhang Yiyi told him, the two met, and Zhang Yiyi's first sentence was: "What's wrong with your voice?"

Chen Nuo didn't know what was wrong with himself either.

He had been immersed in Zhang Yaba's world alone for these few days, except for going out to eat and answering the phone, he had almost no communication with the outside world.

He also became less and less willing to speak.

Chen Nuo shook his head. Zhang Yiyi nodded thoughtfully, and didn't ask anymore.

This time, Zhang Yiyi's crew was all here. Except for the actors, from top to bottom, more than ten people, everyone had to hold multiple positions. The photographer was a middle-aged uncle in his 40s, with a big beard. When Chen Nuo passed by, he heard him muttering there, mixed in this industry for 20 years, the first time entering such a grass-roots team, the director and producer were both students, don't know where the investment was pulled from.

After Chen Nuo arrived, Zhang Yiyi asked him to cut his hair.

Just sitting at the entrance of the alley, a young lady who was a crew member and part-time stylist, took a clipper, stood behind Chen Nuo, and asked hesitantly: "Hey, I'm really pushing?"

"Push."

Chen Nuo didn't hesitate. He didn't know Zhang Yiyi's specific intention, but he knew that many people said he looked better with a crew cut in his previous life.

The young lady pushed Chen Nuo's hair into a crew cut. Originally, she said to find a household to borrow some hot water to wash, but Chen Nuo felt it was quite troublesome. Seeing a faucet at the entrance of the alley, he directly buried his head down.

Li Xiaotian and Zhang Yiyi were smoking not far away, just happened to see this scene of Chen Nuo bowing his body, Li Xiaotian said: "Looks like a young master, didn't expect it to be okay, shouldn't be hard to serve. 400,000, if this film still doesn't come out, both of us will have to go sell our butts."

Zhang Yiyi said: "I have a premonition, this time it will definitely succeed." Li Xiaotian chuckled: "Hope your words come true."

After cutting his hair, he was asked to change clothes. A set of tattered cloth clothes with layers of patches plus a pair of broken cloth shoes, the most excessive thing was that the cloth shoes were also broken with two holes, Chen Nuo's big toe just happened to stretch out of the hole.

The stylist said it was okay, Zhang Yiyi and Li Xiaotian walked over, the two looked up and down together, finally Zhang Yiyi frowned and said: "No no..."

Li Xiaotian said: "The face is too clean, put some dust on it."

The makeup artist and general affairs young lady asked: "Then rub some coal ash?"

Zhang Yiyi said: "Don't use coal ash, just find some dust on the ground, face, neck, hands, all give some. Mainly the face!"

The non-professional young lady looked embarrassed, "How to do this?"

Chen Nuo thought about it, didn't speak, walked to the wall where there was a lot of dust, lay on the ground, rolled a few times, rubbed his face with his hands, and walked back.

Just dust, not shit, what's the relationship? When the family was difficult in elementary school, it wasn't like he hadn't suffered.

Zhang Yiyi nodded: "This time it's done."

Ready to start.

Zhang Yiyi said, the first day, the crew needs to grind, a total of three scenes, all are scenes in the alley, but if it doesn't go well, two scenes are fine.

"All personnel in position, The Mute's House, scene one, shot one, take one!" After the young lady finished speaking, "Clap", the clapperboard sounded.

The first scene Chen Nuo shot in his life started.

This was a close-up shot.

The photographer squatted on the ground, less than a meter away from him, shooting him putting on shoes at the entrance of a Sihe Academy.

The door behind Chen Nuo opened, and a person walked out.

There were only a pair of legs of that person in the lens, didn't seem to see him, stepped directly over Chen Nuo's head, as if treating him as a weed on the side of the road, a stone.

When drawing, Chen Nuo had a deep impression of this shot. He thought Zhang Yaba would have a very strong reaction, but at this moment he didn't.

Chen Nuo just squatted like that, buried his head, the action stopped for a while, then put on his shoes quickly, stood up, first looked around, then spat at the entrance of the Sihe Academy, and then left to the other side, his pace was very fast, as if escaping.

From beginning to end, he didn't look at the direction where the pair of legs left.

"Good, cut, do it again."

Why do it again, Zhang Yiyi didn't say the reason on the walkie-talkie, Chen Nuo didn't ask, so he shot it again.

Then—

"Do it again."

……

"Do it again."

……

"Do it again!"
