Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 229 229. Improvisation

Even though everyone has been in the industry for so long, even though they have starred in several movies under Chen Li, they have begun to adapt to the director's ideas.

But I was still stunned by the shooting method.

Completely improvised? Is this Chen Li testing everyone's acting skills and on-the-spot adaptability?

"What's wrong? Isn't it possible?" Chen Li asked doubtfully.

Seeing Director Chen frowning, it suddenly aroused everyone's desire to win. Several people looked at each other, shook their heads like a rattle and said:

"Okay, okay, no problem!"

"Ahem, it should be quite exciting! I have never participated in such a shooting."

"Director Chen, I can do it!"

"Impromptu performance is the most commonly used in our drama circle, absolutely no problem!"

At night, Liu Wanxin's villa.

The group of people were having dinner while discussing the process of filming later. This filming actually did not require additional investment. Apart from calling the star hotel chef to cook, the rest were all the original props and scenery in the house.

It looks very similar to "This Man Came From Earth", both are group scenes, but the difficulty is countless times higher, especially when there are no fixed lines and need to improvise.

Fortunately, everyone is a capable actor. After getting the settings, they wrote biographies for their characters as soon as possible. After that, they designed lines based on their identities and scenes, and started discussing and rehearsing with each other.

Everyone is a little nervous, carefully considering whether their dialogues and lines are in line with the character's character and whether they can express the director's intention.

This situation is very strange, just like rehearsing a play with classmates in school many years ago, expecting to get the teacher's approval.

But gradually, everyone was surprised to find that this shooting method significantly improved the actors, allowing everyone present to understand their roles from different perspectives.

This dinner naturally turned into a script reading session.

After dinner was over and everything was ready, Chen Li took out the DVD player and handed it to Wang Anrou and said with a smile: "I'll take it once, you take it once. You don't have to worry too much about the composition of the shot, but you need to pay attention to two things, the character's position and the scene layout. , both parts are focused on the painting.”

Wang Anrou already understood why Chen Li didn't write a script, because if he wanted to write a script, everything would be a mess. This was the only way to sort it out while filming.

Her eyes were shining: "Brother, how did you come up with such an awesome movie style? I'm worried that the audience won't understand it."

Chen Li chuckled and said, "They can't understand it, but they will want to study it and understand it. As long as you crazily embed details in the movie, they will be obsessed with it, and they will have a deeper understanding of the scientific concept of Schrödinger's cat."

"Hehe, I feel amazing myself. I have never seen a movie like this before. It's so brain-burning!" Wang Anrou said eagerly.

This time the movie script is complex, but the scenes are simple, and they only happen in one place, so the shooting sequence can be completely based on the script logic, so that the actors will understand the story better.

As Chen Li turned on the dv player, filming officially began.

Everyone in the room also started to perform.

The first scene was in the kitchen. The three of them were chopping vegetables and chatting in a warm atmosphere. Later, Liu Wanxin and other actors entered the scene one after another.

The characters in this movie are all good friends who have known each other for many years. It happens that the eight actors are also like this. Everyone greets each other familiarly and chats about insignificant household matters.

It looks like a family vlog.

"Okay, Zhou Cheng, you are relatively lazy in this scene. You only watch people do things and don't help yourself, you know?"    "Olive oil and butter are important props, Anrou, remember to give a close-up."

"Yes, that's it. Okay, change the props on the table and try again."

Under Chen Li's arrangement, the actors would act out a scene two or three times, but the details each time were a little different. Even in the first ten minutes of a relatively casual chat, Chen Li still laid down a lot of foreshadowing, waiting for The audience digs it.

Of course, on the whole, he will not copy it completely, but will streamline and refine the content. Without leaving the overall core of the story, he will enhance the conflict and suspense and get straight to the essence of the story.

After the initial adaptation period, the actors began to become calmer. Of course, after all, everyone's acting skills are different.

"Old artists" like Liu Wanxin and Cao Hong will always slightly change their lines in appropriate situations. This is a kind of performance optimization, but as their opponents, non-professional actors such as Li Tian and Wang Li are a little If I can't take the scene anymore, I tend to feel a little dazed.

"Okay, for the next scene, everyone will go back to the dining table to chat. We will start chatting casually. The topic in the middle will revolve around the problem of mobile phone signal. Wanxin, please remember to ask questions on Comet."

In this way, everyone followed Chen Li's ideas and took pictures bit by bit, and then passed.

We were busy until late at night before the filming of the movie was completed, but everyone's brains were almost burned out.

"I originally thought that this scientific topic would be brain-burning, but I didn't expect that as an actor, it would also be brain-burning during the filming. I felt like a lot of my brain cells were dead."

"If Director Chen hadn't guided me step by step, I would have been confused."

"Honestly, I can't even imagine what it will be like when the film is finished. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Don't talk about you guys, I was almost confused when I arranged the scene props and almost made a mistake."

"Oh my God, what is Director Chen's brain made of? How can he come up with such an awesome script? I guess I have to write it. It won't be smooth for a year, let alone the filming. I don't even know. How to behave."

Chen Li looked at the scene captured in the DVD with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, you should rest first."

Liu Wanxin's villa has many rooms, so everyone simply washed up and went to bed.

Chen Li and Wang Anrou started editing on the computer non-stop, while Liu Wanxin brought them coffee and stayed with them.

Thanks to Chen Li's control over the shooting sequence, post-editing was effortless.

Chen Li first arranged the overall story line he shot as a skeleton, and then continued to add content shot by Wang Anrou.

"No, brother, this editing can still be used in this way!" Wang Anrou sat next to Chen Li and kept gasping.

Liu Wanxin also flashed her beautiful eyes: "But I have to say that this is indeed the best way to explain that scientific issue!"

Chen Li stretched out his hand and rubbed the heads of the two people on the left and right, and said with a smile: "It's so late, why don't you go to bed? Let's watch tomorrow."

Liu Wanxin shook her head: "I will review my performance tonight. There are still some flaws. I am going to see if there is anything that can be improved."

"Hey hey hey, I can't wait to read the first edition too!" Wang Anrou was as excited as if she had been given a shot of blood. She felt that she had learned a lot tonight.

"Okay! Then let's work together until dawn!" Chen Li said with a smile.
