The set has been almost set up, and the first shot shot today is the scene where the male protagonist is taken to the church to pray by the maid who adopted him.
On the lawn, the props team had already set up a simple white tent, inside which a group of extras were chattering and eating melons. These extras were all extras wandering around Hengdian, and this was their first time to have the honor of acting in a movie directed by a big director, so each of them could hardly hide their excitement.
"Wow, did I just see the actress? She's so beautiful."
"Yeah, he's much better looking in real life than on the screen. But speaking of which, have you seen Qin Sheng?"
"No, I've been around the set several times and haven't even seen him."
"I heard that Director Qin will be starring in this film himself. I wonder what the effect will be..."
"It's better not to have too high expectations. After all, he's a big director. That's all he does. He'll just play around a little bit after achieving some success."
"Yes, those big shots always think they can do it all, but actually acting is not an easy thing. Without five to ten years of dedicated study, there's really no foundation to speak of."
"Huh? Who is that old man? Why does he look so familiar?"
Suddenly, someone pointed at a tall figure coming out of the dressing room and asked, everyone looked over.
"I don't know...what is this?"
"Oh shit, this is the male lead! Qin Sheng, this is Qin Sheng!" Some people with sharp eyes recognized him. After all, extras also have their own scripts. Although they are not as detailed as the ones in the hands of the leading actors, they still understand the general outline of the plot.
This man with old age makeup on is clearly Qin Sheng!
…
"Have you arranged everything for the children?"
Qin Sheng walked up to the assistant director group and asked softly.
"Ah...you...Director Qin!?"
Everyone was stunned, it was really because of this makeup...
So true!
It was so real that they thought it was just some old guy from the extra cast...
"Oh, I just put on makeup, so I can't be recognized?"
Qin Sheng smiled and took the handkerchief handed to him by his assistant Zhong Qiumeng. He wiped the sweat off his hands, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the little actor who was also putting on makeup and not far away.
"Is it him?"
"It's him, it's him. This little actor's mother is a stage actor, so he's been nurtured since he was young. He's only ten years old now, but his acting skills are already perfect, even more solid than some professional actors. Oh, and he's even performed in several stage plays..."
The assistant director began to praise the actors he had brought in.
Qin Sheng nodded slightly after listening to this. It was good to have a foundation. After all, in order to match the male protagonist's reverse growth process in the subsequent editing, he had to photoshop all his facial expressions onto the child's head in the early stage, so the movements of his body parts had to keep up with his own rhythm, and there couldn't be any mistakes.
In other words, this high-tech technology requires extremely high requirements for the actors to be paired with it. Not only must they have strong understanding, but they must also have very solid acting skills.
Otherwise, it would be a very cool operation to Photoshop a head in the air. If an uncoordinated monster comes out, it would be really hilarious.
…
1:30 p.m.
After reviewing the storyboard with the photography team leader and confirming that there were no mistakes, Qin Sheng walked over to the wheelchair where the male lead was supposed to sit.
The eyes of the extras praying in the audience were fixed on Qin Sheng, all with a hint of expectation. After all, Qin Sheng's directing ability was obvious to all, but his acting skills were still a big question mark.
Xiao Yuqin stood gracefully in the distance, watching, while Wei Shaoyan stood behind her like a bodyguard. His eyes were filled with hesitation and trepidation. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but ask,
"Yuqin, have you taught Qin Sheng some basic acting skills recently, such as facial expressions and eye contact details?"
"teach?"
Xiao Yuqin seemed to remember something and smiled helplessly, "He was the one who taught me, how could I have the chance to teach him..."
"ah???"
Wei Shaoyan frowned and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure he taught you instead of you teaching him?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yuqin curved her red lips and nodded, her delicate face filled with trust and joy. "Really? Qin Sheng's acting is really not bad. You'll know after you see it. At least I believe in him."
Wei Shaoyan sighed inwardly, "Forget it, I'd better go out and hide under the car. The scene will be too exciting and I dare not watch it. What if it gets stuck more than ten or twenty times..."
…
Three minutes later,
"Test the light parameters!"
"The area around camera number one has been cleared. Please clean up camera number two quickly."
"Move the lighting board closer."
"Just put it there, just put it there."
The filming department began the final arrangements. Because Qin Sheng himself was an actor, the work of temporary director for this series was replaced by Peng Dafei, the head of the camera crew.
Peng Dafei had worked as a temporary director before, so all his orders seemed orderly and methodical.
Qin Sheng himself ignored the influence of these external factors. He just sat quietly in the chair, adjusting his breathing and closing his eyes to rest.
After all, the most basic and crucial point for a good actor is to know how to mobilize his emotions.
Of course, emotions cannot be mobilized randomly. They must be combined with the story background and one's own relevant experiences, otherwise it is easy to cause intrusions.
In this scene, the male protagonist has been in a wheelchair for many years. He urgently wants to stand up and run and walk like a normal person. He is also optimistic and believes that he can stand up. Therefore, Qin Sheng needs to use his own experience and the method school's emotional exchange method to fit the character's psychological activities.
