Entertaining Children

   Chapter 402

  After the scoreboard, the second shooting starts.

  This time, Xiao Yao’s performance is no different from the previous one. He still raises his eyebrows, tilts his head, and then twitches the corners of his mouth. Huang Shi’s performance was a little different. After taking off his sportswear and putting on women’s underwear and black stockings, Huang Shi did not "scratch his head" in the mirror anymore, but looked at himself in the mirror with a smile, with a full face. The intoxication and enjoyment.

   "Card!" Xiao Chengru yelled, and then said to Xiao Yao, "I think it's not bad, let's take a look at Director Xiao." With that, Xiao Chengru got up and let go of the position in front of the monitor. Xiao Chengru was arranged by Xiao Yao to check the performance of the actors in front of the monitor. After all, the whole short film is still Xiao Yao’s work, so except for the accidental incident like the laugh field, which is absolutely impossible to pass, Xiao Chengru directly stopped the filming. Whether the finished shot can pass, and even whether it needs to take a few more spare shots after passing, is determined by the director Xiao Yao.

   "I think it's good, I should be able to pass it," Xiao Yao, who had watched the replay, nodded, "Let's take a shot."

  I just took a panoramic mid-to-distance lens. The time for Huang Shi to change his clothes was more than a minute, and it was definitely not that long in the end, but the whole process was still taken during the shooting. As for how much to use in the end, it depends on the director's decision when editing.

  The next shot is to take a close-up of Xiao Yao's face, which will appear interspersed during Huang Shi's dress-up. In fact, Xiao Yao, who was facing away from the camera in the panoramic lens just now, didn't need to make those facial expressions, as long as he coordinated with the movement of tilting his head. However, Xiao Yao was always very involved in the role when shooting, so even though the camera could not shoot, Xiao Yao did it meticulously.

   Shifted the position of the camera. After adjusting the angle of the lens, Xiao Yao sat down in front of the piano again and started shooting the second lens.

  There is no figure of Huang Shi in this shot, originally he could just sit and watch. In order to cooperate with Xiao Yao's performance, Huang Shi, who was behind the camera, performed the dress-up process again. Although he complained, but after he started shooting seriously, Huang Shi still had nothing to say about his professional attitude.

  Xiao Yao’s character wears sunglasses on his face, and the most complicated eye expressions in facial expressions are avoided. With just a few subtle movements of raising eyebrows, tilting his head, and pulling the corners of his mouth, Xiao Yao performed very well, and it was once passed by Xiao Chengru's standards.

  After taking another close-up shot of the fitness photo of Huang Shi, according to the original plan, the shooting in this scene should be over, and the crew should move to another scene. However, Xiao Yao didn't want to just end the shooting in this scene.

   "I want to add a close-up shot of Brother Huang looking in the mirror." Xiao Yao discussed with Xiao Chengru and Huang Shi next to him.

"Is it necessary?" Xiao Chengru frowned and looked at Xiao Yao. "This short film of yours is all about the protagonist. This scene shows the protagonist is peeping at other people's lives and privacy. A close-up of Huang Shi's transvestite expression appears. Does the camera feel a bit overwhelming?" Although he has never been a director, Xiao Chengru still has extremely rich shooting experience and will give Xiao Yao some suggestions.

   "It is indeed a bit," Xiao Yao nodded, "but I think it doesn't matter if you take more shots and prepare it. I will decide whether to use it during the post-editing."

This scene occupies a very small proportion of the time in the short film. It appears as one of several flashbacks that the protagonist recalls when the protagonist talks to the boss in the coffee shop. It seems that there is really no need to give this short-lived character a close shot. The need for close-up expressions will distract the audience from the protagonist. However, for Xiao Yao, who is the first time director, he is not afraid of troubles, but is afraid that there are defects, so he would rather take more shots when shooting. The material, save it until the final editing, and then slowly make a choice.

   "Well, you are the director, listen to you." Xiao Chengru nodded.

   "I have no objection," Huang Shi also said. Anyway, I have already worn an extra time of women's clothing just now, and it doesn't matter if I wear it again.

   "Okay, all departments pay attention, let's add another lens." After discussing the position and angle of the camera with the photographer, Xiao Yao did not return to the piano, but sat in front of the monitor. The role of transvestite here actually ignores the existence of the blind tuner of the protagonist, so there is no need for Xiao Yao to go outside the camera to play the piano for Huang Shi to cooperate with his performance.

   "Ka!" Xiao Yao yelled, giving Huang Shi a thumbs-up to Huang Shi who was still wearing lingerie and black stockings, "Brother Huang, you played very well."

   "The shooting of this scene is over, everyone clean up, and then move to the next door." Xiao Yao announced afterwards.

  Today I shot the scenes of three customers' homes. Because the customers' identities are different, the layout and furnishings of the homes are also different. In order to facilitate the transition, Xiao Yao directly rented three houses adjacent to the same floor in a building and arranged them into the scenes of three clients' homes.

   "It's over." Huang Shi heaved a sigh of relief, picked up his clothes and went to the next room to change back to his clothes. Although I had already taken off just shorts and changed into women's clothing in front of everyone, it was necessary for shooting. Outside of filming, actors still have to avoid some people when changing clothes.

  The crew moved to the next room to prepare for the shooting of the second scene. Huang Shi, who was also free for a day, didn't leave after the completion of his part. He followed everyone to the next room and watched the shooting of the second scene.

  The layout and furnishings of this house are quite different from the previous one, and at first glance it is the residence of different owners. A large art photo is hung on one wall of the living room, and Su Chengying's elegant and dignified appearance is clearly visible in a costume. But on the floor and sofa of the house, all kinds of debris were scattered everywhere.

  The staff of photography, lighting, recording and other departments began to set up equipment under the command of Xiao Yao, and the makeup artist began to take care of Su Chengying's styling.

  Wait until all the equipment is ready, Su Chengying also finished the styling here.

  I saw Su Chengying wearing a very homely outfit like tank top and shorts, her messy hair on her head, and the faint dark circles on her eyes made her look like she was not awake.

  There are still only two or three shots in the second scene. One shot is also a close-up of Xiao Yao's face. This time, Xiao Yao's subtle movements are to slightly raise his head and look at the big beautiful art photo on the wall. He lowered his head without raising his eyebrows or twitching the corners of his mouth, but frowned slightly.

In the panoramic shot, Su Chengying passed by Xiao Yao, who was playing the piano, with messy hair, and after throwing away a sock on the sofa, she slumped down on the sofa, picked up and threw it on the armrest of the sofa. An entertainment gossip magazine, while picking messy hair, read it. Looking at it, Su Chengying felt that her nose was a little itchy, so she stretched out her finger to dig in her nostril, then twisted her thumb and index finger, stretched it under her nose and smelled it, and made a random finger movement. .

   "It's disgusting!" Cheng Xi and Huang Shi, who watched Su Chengying's performance, trembled involuntarily, seeming to shake off their goose bumps. However, those who have learned the lesson not only endured silence, but did not even make any larger movements.

   "Ka!" Xiao Chengru shouted. In his opinion, there is basically nothing wrong with this filming.

   "Very good, passed." Xiao Yao, who returned to the monitor, also smiled after watching the replay, "Sister Su, you performed well, did you look like this at home before?"

"Fuck you! It was like this when you were at home." Su Chengying cursed with a smile, "Xiaoyao Paralysis is named after you, and your lazy song. Only a person like you can be extremely lazy. Come up with a scene like this."

"You even asked me to pick my nose and bomb my nose? It's really disgusting." Su Chengying continued unwillingly, "I haven't done such a disgusting thing when I grew up, and the goose bumps on my body are about to fall off. I acted. This character completely disregards his image and sacrifices a lot. Think about how to compensate me, right?"

   "Disgusting?" Xiao Yao smiled in his heart, "I haven't let the head coach of the German football team from your previous life put your nostril-picked fingers in your mouth, so please be content."

   "Compensation? After the shooting is over for a while, you can take this away." Xiao Yao pointed to the big art photo on the wall. "YS's photography works, is this compensation enough?" When designing the scene, Xiao Yao thought of putting an artistic photo of the character in the room to compare it with the actual sloppy image. Originally, I wanted to ask Su Chengying for a photo to be directly enlarged and printed, but after seeing the photo Su Chengying took out and felt dissatisfied, Xiao Yao simply took a special photo for Su Chengying himself.

   "Really?" Su Chengying immediately turned her anger into joy.

"Of course," Xiao Yao nodded, "Isn't that what you think?" Xiao Yao always suspected that the photos that Su Chengying gave to him were deliberately selected and badly taken, just to take the opportunity to let himself give She takes pictures. After all, Xiao Yao is already a famous photographer now.

  Su Chengying smiled: "This photo was taken of me. You are useless after this film is taken. If you don't give it to me, can you keep it for yourself? Aren't you afraid that my junior sister will be angry when you see it?"

   "I remember telling you many years ago," Xiao Yao said to Su Chengying, "Duo'er started earlier than you. She is your senior sister."

   "Uh..." Su Chengying remembered Xiao Yao's words when Sun Tingting came to visit the class when he was filming a drama with Xiao Yao, and she rolled her eyes.

   "Okay, the next shot, close-up close-up." Xiao Yao stopped chatting with Su Chengying, and began to prepare for the close-up close-up of his close-up.

  After taking the close-up close-up shot of Xiao Yao, he took another close-up shot of the art photo on the wall. Su Chengying couldn't wait to pick up the pictures on the wall.

   "Wait," Xiao Yao stopped Su Chengying and said, "This scene is not finished yet, I want to add another shot."

  "Want to add a lens again?" The people at the scene were taken aback.

   "I want to add a close-up shot of something to Sister Su," Xiao Yao said, "Like Huang Ge just now, take more shots and be prepared."

   "What the director did...do you want to add some tricks to every actor?" After discussing the addition of pornographic shots just now, Xiao Chengru didn't oppose it anymore, just laughed and joked.
