Chapter 18: Acting and editing disputes
"Card!"
When shooting the third take, Sun Hei took the initiative to shout "Cut".
On the set, not everyone has the right to shout 'cut'.
The director definitely has the right to call cut, this is inevitable.
Next is the cinematographer, when he sees an impossible framing error, or an actor steps outside the marked area and out of frame.
The next is the sound engineer or lighting engineer, such as uncontrollable recording and occasional lighting failure.
The above is not what Yu Xiaoshu said himself, but what is said in the "Director's Creation Manual" written by Rabigh and Mikhurbishcherier from the United States.
When the director shouts 'Cut', the actors are the most nervous.
In today's scene, Yu Huanshui asked for money from Lu Fumeng, bought a car for Gan Hong and came to Gan's house, and then filmed a major scene that made people feel mixed emotions.
Yu Huanshui's son Yu Chen was bullied by his brother-in-law's son, and then his aunt scolded Yu Chen and his mother-in-law took sides.
The brother-in-law called Yu Chen a bastard.
At the dinner table, she even treated her sister Gan Hong as a nanny.
Just now, Sun Hei shouted "Cut" after Li Dong, the actor who played the brother-in-law, finished his lines.
"Director, what did I do wrong?"
Li Dong asked nervously.
Character actors like Li Dong are most afraid of being called "Cut" by the director.
"It's not your problem."
Sun Hei shook his head and said, "I just feel a little awkward."
The other actors were stunned: "Awkward???"
How do you guys respond to this?
On the monitor, Sun Hei frowned as he looked at the clip he had just shot.
Xia Qing on the side said speechlessly: "Old Sun, are you suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder again? I think there is no problem."
"No, that's not right. That's just not right."
Sun Hei looked at the video he had just taken and muttered to himself: "What's wrong?"
Yu Xiaoshu glanced at the scene and the monitor, and reminded: "The expression is wrong."
"Yes, but the expression is wrong."
Sun Hei slapped his thigh and stood up: "Li Dong, you have to act more confidently. In this family, you are the boss, and then..."
The focus of this scene is to make the relationships within the Gan family more obvious.
Yu Huanshui is not popular.
Gan's mother disliked Yu Huanshui.
The brother-in-law looked down on Yu Huanshui.
My brother-in-law's wife was even more disgusted.
As for my father-in-law, he is a government official after all, and he is extremely hypocritical.
All of these will be shown in today's scene, at the dinner table.
At the same time, in Yu Huanshui's family, Gan Hong is the queen mother, but in the Gan family, Gan Hong is just a maid and a nanny.
"Rest for 3 minutes first, and let's get back into shape."
Sun Hei explained the play to all the actors one by one.
Although Sun Hei failed to train the actors, he was still good at commenting on the play.
After 3 minutes, continue shooting.
"Sister, help me get a bowl of rice."
Li Dong spoke as if he was ordering his servants.
"good."
Fan Lingtong, the actress who played Gan Hong, stood up with the bowl in both hands as she spoke.
Lin Feiyang grabbed Fan Lingtong at this time, and then said to Li Dong: "She is your sister."
…
The photographer, who was well prepared, began to take pictures one by one.
Yu Huanshui's mother-in-law rolled her eyes.
Yu Huanshui's father-in-law frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
The two little actors just ate.
…
"Dad, Mom, I failed to take good care of your daughter and caused her to suffer a lot. I'm sorry. I, Yu Huanshui, am sorry for your whole family and for bringing shame to you. These days will soon be over, so don't worry."
Lin Feiyang took out the car keys from his pocket and put them on the table: "Let's get this done quickly. I've bought you a car. Move back home and don't suffer here anymore."
After saying that, Lin Feiyang stood up.
"Why…"
Li Dong looked at Lin Feiyang with some displeasure.
But at this time Lin Feiyang had already left.
Bang!
Father Gan slammed the food heavily on the table.
…
"good."
Sun Hei stood up and said, "This one has been approved. Let's go to the next location to shoot the daytime scenes."
There is only one scene left at Gan’s father’s house, which is the humiliation that Yu Huanshui suffered when he was exposed for carrying fake red wine at Gan’s house.
But that was a night scene, so now we have to continue shooting the daytime scenes.
The scene shifted to Yu Huanshui's home which had been decorated.
There are a lot of scenes to be filmed here.
When filming the rivalry between Liang Annie and Yu Huanshui, Sun Hei showed a surprised expression on his face.
Because Liang Annie was completely relaxed.
"Xiao Shu is right about this."
Sun Hei thought to himself.
"Okay, not bad."
After the filming, Sun Hei seemed to be in a very good mood: "Xiao Zhao, you should be in this state. I dare say that you will definitely make the audience remember this play."
Ying Zhao hurriedly said: "Thank you, Director, and thank you, Teacher Yu."
"It's all Director Sun's credit. It has nothing to do with me."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head.
Sun Hei laughed out loud: "Xiao Shu is still so humble."
Having talent and being a good person, the most important thing is to know your position.
This is totally inconsistent with the rumors.
Although Sun Hei couldn't understand why Yu Xiaoshu had been a useless person for three years.
But that's not what he cares about, he only cares about the present.
Sun Hei believes that Yu Xiaoshu will surprise everyone.
Life on the crew is always so boring and interesting.
Yu Xiaoshu learned a lot during the half-month filming.
He did not just follow Sun Hei blindly or simply sit behind the monitor.
After getting a general understanding of Sun Hei's habits and shooting techniques, Yu Xiaoshu started to immerse himself in lighting, photography, and video recording, and he even often asked the script supervisor some questions.
After all, Yu Xiaoshu knew that the job of a script supervisor should be the hardest and the one with the longest working hours.
They need to coordinate and communicate, analyze the script, draw up a schedule, plan the shooting scenes, and connect the scenes. As for the other follow-up, it is extremely tedious and important.
Therefore, the board taken by the script supervisor is quite important.
Friday, November 30, 2 p.m.
The last highlight of the first three episodes of "I Am Yu Huanshui" has started filming.
…
"Here is the interest rate of 130,000 yuan in the bank at the same period. As a classmate, buddy, I'll give you two points. You owe me a total of 147,264.57 yuan. I ate two bowls of your wontons, so I'll give you the change. I don't want the 264.57 yuan. You have to pay me back the 147,000 yuan, right now."
Lin Feiyang said to the actor who played Lü Fumeng, "Don't ask me why I need this money, because it's originally my money. And don't make any more excuses, because my excuses are definitely more like excuses than yours."
Lu Fumeng said calmly, "Okay, Yu Huanshui, I've known you for so many years, but this is the first time I've heard you talk so much in one breath. It seems like you've really encountered some difficulties."
Lin Feiyang said with a slightly lonely tone: "It has never been easy for me. Give me back the money."
"I've already said that we need to think about the money carefully."
"I don't want to take the long view, just give me back the money."
"Your wife forced you to come here."
"Who the hell forced me to come here? Give me back my money."
"Can you please keep your voice down?"
…
"How did I meet the wrong person? Why the hell did I meet the wrong person? Is it wrong for me to get back the money that belongs to me?"
Lin Feiyang lost control of himself. He stood up and smashed the beer bottle to the ground. Then he roared, "Pay back the money."
Lu Fumeng said loudly: "Return."
"With interest."
"I will return the principal and interest to you after I finish the exhibition."
"Stop wasting your time. I want it now. Right now."
"Okay, I'll give you the money today, but from now on we'll go our separate ways and we'll no longer be brothers."
…
Good actors can perform on the spot.
Lin Feiyang’s outburst was actually because he really immersed himself in the role of Yu Huanshui.
And I feel the same way.
It was obvious that Yu Huanshui was the victim, and it was obviously Lu Fumeng who owed Yu Huanshui money, but why did the onlookers say that Lu Fumeng had met the wrong person?
Just like Lin Feiyang’s real situation.
It was obviously Mu Lefeng who let him down.
It was clearly Mu Lefeng who cheated, but he still blamed her.
But now everyone feels sorry for Mu Lefeng and calls Lin Feiyang a scumbag.
While holding back his anger, Lin Feiyang's acting skills reached a new level.
If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it.
But the actor who played Lu Fumeng is also a veteran actor, and he has been honing his acting skills on the drama stage for many years, so when he was suppressed by Lin Feiyang, he also managed to rebound.
Acting on the spot.
There was no NG in the scene.
When the filming was completed, there was applause from the audience.
On November 10, "I Am Yu Huanshui" officially started filming.
On November 30, the first three episodes of "I Am Yu Huanshui" were completed.
Of course, now is far from the time to prepare for the wrap-up party.
There is more important work to be done next.
But everyone still had dinner together in the evening, and everyone was full of confidence in this play.
The next day, Yu Xiaoshu had a rare late night sleep.
He is resting today.
Currently, "I Am Yu Huanshui" has entered the post-production stage, which is the work of the director and editing team.
At most, Yu Xiaoshu will give his opinions after the rough cut is completed.
Before that, let's leave professional matters to professionals.
But what Yu Xiaoshu didn't expect was that he was called over by Sun Hei in the afternoon.
Tigerstar Films has its own post-production department.
But today Sun Hei directly fought with the editor.
It's normal to have disagreements in editing.
Generally, editing requires synchronizing the work samples first, then keeping records of the work samples, while the editor and director watch the samples together, mark the edited script, and finally the editor and director work together.
Naturally, there will be some conflicts.
For a drama, different editing can make the drama take a completely different direction.
This is the reason why Sun Hei had a conflict with the editor today.
Because he believed that the editor did not understand what he wanted to express, and even if he followed the editor's rhythm, the first three episodes of the show would be a complete failure.
But the editor also had his own insistence: "Director Sun, you insisted on editing the last web series for your own reasons, and you saw the result."
This sentence made Sun Hei furious: "Get lost, I don't need you anymore."
"hehe."
The editor sneered, stood up and left.
Sun Hei is not a big director, so he doesn't need to be spoiled.
He wanted to see what Sun Hei could cut without them? ?
