Art comes from life, but is higher than life.
If we simply understand it from the perspective of a movie, it means that it is more bitter than the sufferings of life and sweeter than the sweetness of life.
Some actors can only produce exaggerated effects.
Some actors performed realistically.
Some actors transcend the feelings brought by the work itself.
Serious actors will always be recognized, and gold will always shine.
This seems to be confirmed in Zhang Songwen.
After shooting the first shot, everyone in the crew was conquered.
The first scene tells the story of the protagonist Song Waimai who first comes to the city and applies for a job at a takeaway station. Zhang Songwen appears very shy, timid and fearful in the camera.
But the takeaway station seemed to be struggling to recruit people. When they saw a newcomer coming, everyone was very enthusiastic. They completed the onboarding process for Song Waimai and even joked about his name, saying that he was definitely born for this profession.
Zhang Songwen got into the role very quickly, his lines were fluent, and his expressions and actions were very appropriate, which perfectly fit the character's characteristics.
Cheng Hailu was also surprised. It took only one shot to pass? That's amazing.
Zhang Songwen also came over to watch the performance, and only breathed a sigh of relief when Cheng Hailu said there was no problem and prepared to shoot the next scene. After all, this was the first scene, and if his performance disappointed Director Cheng, he might be replaced.
Fortunately, it was completed perfectly.
The second scene is about Song Waimai, under the guidance of his master, starting to familiarize himself with the routes and order-taking process. The order-taking system directly uses Baofu Takeaway's separate interface, which is a virtual interface specially set up for filming movies.
At the beginning, Cheng Hailu asked Mr. Qiu whether he should change the name of the interface, otherwise he might be afraid that Baofu Takeaway would be criticized. Mr. Qiu directly said that there was no need to change it, and it was no big deal if he could be criticized.
After Cheng Hailu understood what Mr. Qiu meant, he started to become bolder. He also thought about adding some ideas to discredit the takeaway stations in the play, and the setting of takeaway companies squeezing the deliverymen's time to highlight the contradictions and intensify the conflicts.
Cheng Hailu also included Zhang Songwen's suggestions in this scene, which revealed that the master encountered problems with complaints when taking orders, but was still optimistic about the changes in customers.
Zhang Songwen's expressiveness was also very good. His eyes changed from doubt to recognition, and then to deep thought, as if a seed had been planted in his heart.
Why did the chef get angry when he was deducted money for a complaint? Why did the chef accept this fact? Why didn’t the chef argue with the customer?
The first and second scenes are relatively simple. Starting from the third scene, when Zhang Songwen goes to deliver food, the people and things he encounters, and the outdoor scenes begin to become complicated, and it is also necessary to consider the special effects of the green screen in the back. After all, the special effects of saving people require money, and the early work must be done well so that it can be added later.
Sometimes, in order to coordinate with the same camera position, Zhang Songwen needs to get into the state quickly and shoot himself in another stage in advance. He originally thought that it would be very difficult and might require many shots.
But Zhang Songwen got into the state very quickly and the transition was almost seamless. However, in order to get more takes to avoid the need for reshoots later, Cheng Hailu still asked Zhang Songwen to perform it several more times.
Zhang Songwen was very cooperative and had no complaints at all. He also seemed to be performing better and better, which even surprised Cheng Hailu.
...
