Qin Guan thought it was a trap. He had thought that Zhang Yang's film and Li Bingbing's heroine would be good. What the hell was wrong with the script?
Zhang Yang saw through Qin Guan's doubts, so he gave him another blow. "Two Star asked me to make a short film for their DV competition.
I came up with the story while chatting with my buddies. Two Star gave me very little money, so I used it all to buy a DV camera.
Du Haibing is my buddy. He used to make documentaries, and Li is my sister. We didn't work together on Spicy Hot Pot, so we took this opportunity to have fun together.
"Hey! Don't look down on this. Originally, I wanted to get Xia Yu to be the male lead. If it wasn't for Two Star Electronics saying that you wouldn't have to spend a single cent, I wouldn't have asked you. "
Could he say thank you to Director Zhang? Thank you!
Since the situation was like this and the contract was signed, what else could he do? Just shoot.
Zhang Yang sized Qin Guan up from head to toe. This guy is too handsome. If I follow the script and chase after a flower girl every day, it will be done in less than two days.
He could only ask Qin Guan, "Do you have any ordinary clothes? The ones that are a little gray and not fashionable." Qin Guan nodded. There were many ready-made clothes in his dormitory.
Satisfied, Director Zhang said to Qin Guan, "Let's try two of them."
Qin Guan nodded. The first scene began. As soon as the shooting started, the randomness of the DV's shooting technology was reflected. There were no scenes, lighting, costumes, assistants, a DV camera, a cameraman, an accompanying director, and an actor in place. A movie could be shot without a scene, lighting, costumes, assistants, a DV camera, a cameraman, an accompanying director, and an actor.
Qin Guan walked along Wangfujing Street with his backpack on his back. He opened the door of the photography shop and turned over the blue "Closed" sign. He turned on the camera, which was always facing the middle of the street, and inserted a new copy of the tape.
As usual, Qin Guan cleaned the shop. Another actor, who was also playing the role of an employee, walked into the shop. That was the beginning of Qin Guan's boring day.
Just like that, the first act of the movie, which didn't even have an NG, was filmed. When the DV was playing back, the director and cameraman began to observe the effect of the shot. If there were no accidents or obstructions, the first chapter would be over.
Qin Guan grinned. Didn't you say you could learn from the film? Wasn't this just a realistic lifestyle film? Ignoring the cameras, there was simply nothing to learn.
There were still a few more scenes to be filmed in the camera equipment store. It was nothing more than looking at the store repeatedly, listening to the staff's nagging, and changing the cassette on the camera.
The shooting of this scene was completed in less than a morning. They looked at each other. Zhang Yang, who was trying to shoot with a DV for the first time, was not used to it.
The stability of film movies had very high requirements for the lighting of the scene. Unless it was a high-speed running scene or a very strong movement scene, the camera position was fixed.
If they filmed while walking, the progress of the movie would be too fast. In that case, let's start filming the first scene of the male and female leads.
Li Bingbing stared at Qin Guan, who was smiling brightly at her.
She had exchanged greetings with Qin Guan on the set of "Daming Palace", but they hadn't had any scenes together. The crew was busy, so they hadn't had a chance to get to know each other.
The cooperation with Zhang Yang was purely a friend. She had never expected that it would be Qin Guan, the male lead of the film.
She had acted in many films, but this was the first time that she had met an actor who could amaze her with his looks.
Li Bingbing was a veteran. After a while, she calmed down and began to act with Qin Guan.
In the year 2000, Li Bingbing was still young. She had two neatly braided braids hanging over her shoulders. She was wearing a pure suspender dress and holding a bunch of sunflowers in her arms.
Qin Guan jumped down from her back and walked up to her. He looked at her with a curious and infatuated expression. She was in a trance for a while, but she was good at controlling the scene and said her lines according to the script. "Do you want to buy flowers?"
Qin Guan asked shyly, "How much?"
"Five yuan for one."
Qin Guan said unconsciously, "F * ck! So expensive! Make it cheaper! "
Li Bingbing couldn't help laughing. Even the director and the cameraman couldn't hold back their laughter. Qin Guan explained to them seriously, "It's true. It's quite expensive. You can buy one for 1.20 yuan at the Dazhong Temple Wholesale Market."
Zhang Yang pointed to the place and asked Qin Guan, "Where are we? Wangfujing. Even a piece of tofu here is two yuan more expensive than in other places. Don't talk about the people on the streets. "
Qin Guan scratched his head and apologized, "Director, Sister Bingbing, I couldn't help myself. Let's do it again."
Anyway, it was not a waste of film, so Zhang Yang waved his hand generously, signaling for them to replay the scene.
All that was left was to deal with the scene. Qin Guan had to bring some clothes for the outdoor scene with Li Bingbing the next day. As for the indoor scene in the afternoon, it would be done in the crew's home to save money.
That's right. The studio was self-sufficient. It was a small room of several square meters. There was nothing but a computer, a bookshelf and a bed.
The assistant made a bowl of instant noodles for Qin Guan. It was a brand he had never eaten before. Noticing Qin Guan's puzzled expression, the assistant explained, "Oh, it's to prevent advertisements. It's been fixed."
Qin Guan looked at the words on the bowl. "Dead Noodle!" How much did he hate instant noodles to be able to produce such an effect?
The cameraman and the director would never admit their hatred for instant noodles. They had relied on instant noodles to survive when they had been poor.
The scene in the room was simple. They would shoot a close-up of Qin Guan's head and ask him to read the introduction of the DV video on the computer while eating noodles. Then they would add a happy smile and a shocked expression on his face when he found out the truth.
Qin Guan put his chopsticks into the noodles and started the scene.
He stared at the computer attentively, the wavy noodles hanging on his face as he sucked them into his mouth.
Looking at the video on his computer, Qin Guan was in a daze, resentment, and shock. The girl he liked every day was the robber in the Wangfujing Robbery Case!
Qin Guan stood up in front of the computer in shock, kicking over the chair behind him in fright. Zhang Yang shouted in satisfaction, "Cut!" That was the last scene of the day.
Everyone called it a day. The next day's scene would be even simpler.
Before Qin Guan could appreciate his feelings, it was already the next day.
Qin Guan and Li Bingbing changed clothes and took the same scene to show Qin Guan's determination to buy flowers every day, rain or shine. The bouquet was changed from sunflowers to roses. This was the only scene in which Qin Guan and Li Bingbing communicated with each other.
