Director’s Legend

Photography in the studio is very simple, just a few people in the command post reciting lines back and forth. In almost a week, the filming of Fan Bingbing and Chen Zhenghua ended. In the evening, I ordered a meal in the hotel, which was regarded as a banquet to celebrate Fan Bingbing. Fan Bingbing is very careful in filming, and Shao Shuaijun admires such actors.

"Come on, Fan Bingbing, I toast you a glass and thank you for your contribution this week."

"Director, you are too polite. My role is very relaxed. I hope I will have the opportunity to work together in the future."

"Will do."

After seeing off the two, the crew's indoor shooting was completed, and then they needed to go to the train station to shoot. There is an abandoned railway station platform outside the Fourth Ring Road of Haijin City. It is a platform left over after the Beijing-Tianjin line was changed. The track of the train was not removed, and the railway bureau specially opened a line to draw the GK201 train.

During the indoor shooting, renovations began here, and a week later, the platform no longer looked so dilapidated and full of vitality. The train has also been repainted and repaired, and the interior has been refurbished, which is no worse than the current high-speed railway. When the crew arrived here, all the actors except Liu Yifei and Huang Bo were already in place.

On the platform, Shao Shuaijun held a loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "All units pay attention to, according to the number plate, determine their own seats, and the process of getting on and off the train. Now, start the rehearsal from the reserve group, Wang Yixue, you have the time and remind the actors Actions."

"understand."

"Okay, now everyone enters the train, listens to my slogan, and starts to act."

In the movie "Source Code", because time is repeated, many scenes on the train are repeated, including passengers getting on and off the train. But these repetitions, with the entry of the protagonist, produce different changes. In order to shoot this kind of repetitive but not repetitive picture, the work of rehearsal is particularly important.

Especially the supporting roles of important scenes, such as the lady with coffee, the man with motion sickness, the software engineer, the student who wants to review the exam, the comedian who is going to the court, the conductor who checks the ticket, the chattering business person, the woman who just listens to music and reads. , As well as the heroine and actor, as well as the villain’s bomber and so on.

Every subtle change needs to be photographed, and the details of this need to be tempered.

...

On November 20th, Liu Yifei, the heroine, came to the crew to report with her mother Liu Xiaoli. A lot of reporters who had already received the news suddenly came to interview Liu Yifei, but they were rejected by the crew on the pretext of filming. Huayi’s Propaganda Department is well aware that propaganda needs to be relaxed and not too exposed to avoid aesthetic fatigue.

"Welcome." Shao Shuaijun smiled when he saw Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei. "Liu Yifei, have you figured out the script? If it's all right, go to the rehearsal now."

"Okay." Liu Yifei nodded quietly, completely different from the last time Tsundere.

"Well, let's get ready." Shao Shuaijun nodded and said to the sloppy, "Huang Bo is not here, you go to take his place, and we unite for rehearsals. Wang Yixue, you are in charge of the commander in chief."

"Ok."

In the train, everyone was ready, and Shao Shuaijun also bowed his head and sat in a chair. Liu Yifei was on the opposite side, holding his cheek to look at the scenery outside the window.

"The rehearsal begins! Li Xu and Feifei, perform!"

Shao Shuaijun took a deep breath and began to enter the performance. His protagonist, named Li Xu, is a member of the People's Liberation Army peacekeeping force in Libya. During the source code mission, he entered the memory of history teacher Xiao En. Feifei, played by Liu Yifei, is a student of Xiao En in college and likes Xiao En.

In a groggy coma, Li Xu suddenly came to his senses and looked around.

Feifei spoke at this time: "I listened to your suggestion, and that suggestion is good, thank you."

"What?" Shao Shuaijun was puzzled.

"Your face looks very pale, are you okay?"

According to the pre-scripted script, the two began a dialogue. After a while, Wang Yixue shouted: "Coffee **** stage!"

Holding an empty cup, the coffee girl played by the actor of Long Tao comes on stage...

The first complete rehearsal came to an end very quickly. Everything seemed rusty and pretentious. The actors didn't perform their acting skills, they just wrote down their actions and sequence. As long as you line up a few times, this scene can be completed well, but there is a problem that makes Shao Shuaijun frown.

"Liu Yifei, although we are rehearsing, you still need expressions and acting skills instead of reading lines according to the script. We have rival dramas between us. I hope you can get in as soon as possible and interact with me." Shao Shuaijun said bluntly.

"I see, director."

Liu Yifei raised his head and nodded seriously. It's very quiet, even some young and mature, and the last time I saw it at Nortel, they seemed to be two people.

"Well, rest for ten minutes and rehearse again."

Ten minutes later, the rehearsal began.

After the whole day, the effect of the rehearsal is obviously much better. The actors can take the initiative to do their work without Wang Yixue's command. Up and down on the train, everyone was familiar with the scene and performed a normal ride.

"Well, today's shooting ends here. Let's go back and rest early." Shao Shuaijun was already six o'clock, and it was almost winter. The weather was cold and it was getting dark early, so he announced that he would leave work.

For the next three days, everyone was busy with the problem of positioning, and it was almost time for the fire. Shao Shuaijun announced that he had entered the shooting stage.

"Today's scene is mainly a rivalry between the two of me. Let's shoot a group without makeup to see the situation."

The photographer pointed the camera at the two of them. After a conversation, Shao Shuaijun directly shouted out the card: "Liu Yifei, your expression is wrong. There is an ambiguity between Feifei and Li Xu, or between Feifei and Xiao En. It's related. You don't have the taste of acting. You can enrich your feelings and start over."

For the second time, Liu Yifei said his lines in a different tone.

"No, the feelings are too weak, don't be so serious, smile first to drive your own emotions."

"But I can't laugh now."

"Um... Then think about the funny things that happened in the past and the things that made you happy."

The third time.

The fourth time.

As the number of card calls increased, Liu Yifei's performance became more and more impetuous, and it seemed that he was already getting nervous. Shao Shuaijun did not stop, and directly said to Wang Yixue: "Do it again, you take the phone."

Then the camera pushed, Liu Yifei finished reciting the lines, Shao Shuaijun stared, and said nothing for a long time. Just when everyone was wondering what the situation was, Liu Yifei was already anxious. Shao Shuaijun suddenly sighed: "Um, uh, just... I forgot the words by accident. Can you show me the script?"

"Huh." Liu Yifei let out a long sigh of relief, then chuckled. Feeling that he shouldn't laugh again, he scowled and looked out the window.

Wang Yixue secretly gave Shao Shuaijun a thumbs up. As the deputy director, he didn't know that Shao Shuaijun never forgot the words. This is just a small means, a small means to adjust the atmosphere. The purpose is to relax Liu Yifei's nervous mood. Looking at the effect now, it has been achieved.

Sure enough, starting again, Liu Yifei's performance was much more impressive.
