After walking the scene twice and sorting out the content, Zhang Jingchu and Li Xuejian went to the makeup car and put on makeup, while Zhang Ran continued to stay on the scene and was busy with the rest of the shooting.

Zhang Ran’s filming of "One Man's Lights and Decoration" was not only like this story, but the most important thing was to try multi-part montages. Several shots in the first scene of the movie involved the use of multiple montage technologies, and had high requirements for the movement of the movie's shots, color, sound, etc. Therefore, Zhang Ran did not dare to be careless at all, and he had to check every link on the scene.

It was nearly an hour since Zhang Ran changed into a costume and came to the makeup cart to prepare for makeup.

When Zhang Ran walked into the makeup cart, Zhang Jingchu and Li Xuejian were rehearsing in front of the dressing table. Li Xuejian was sitting on the chair, her eyes closed and her face was covered with foam, and she looked very relaxed; while Zhang Jingchu was holding a razor and was carefully shaving his beard.

Zhang Ran ignored them, found a seat to sit down, waved to the makeup artist, and signaled her to put on makeup quickly.

The stylist is also an old man in the crew, with rich experience, and Zhang Ran’s makeup is very simple. It took not long to finish Zhang Ran’s styling. The stylist compared the makeup photos and looked at Zhang Ran’s styling carefully. He felt very satisfied and asked, “Director, what do you think?”

Zhang Ran looked into the mirror and smiled and nodded, "Very good, this is what I want!" He stood up, patted Zhang Jingchu, and said to the two people who were still rehearsing: "It's time to take a formal filming, let's go!"

The three of them returned to the barber shop. Zhang Jingchu and Li Xuejian came outside the acting area and waited for the performance. Zhang Ran came to the deputy director Urshan and asked him how he was doing his preparations.

Among the twelve students at the Asian Film Academy, Urshan is not the most talented or creative, but among all the students, Zhang Ran likes him the most. This time, this time filming "One Man's Lights and Decoration", Zhang Ran called him over and asked him to be his assistant director.

Ning Hao and Ding Sheng both became Zhang Ran's assistant director first, and then directed the movie alone, and eventually became popular in China. Therefore, Urshan also cherished this opportunity particularly. In front of Zhang Ran, he was very respectful, no different from ordinary students: "Teacher Zhang, you are all ready and you can start filming officially."

"Very good, then let everyone take their seats quickly, and I'll take their seats right away!" Zhang Ran was about to appear in this scene, so naturally he couldn't sit behind the monitor and watch the scene leisurely. He patted Urshan on the shoulder, "Urshan, I'll leave it to you below. If you find any problems, just shout to stop and don't have any worries!"

"Teacher Zhang, don't worry." Urshan nodded firmly, as if he was a guarantee.

The on-site staff were in place one after another, and the actors were in place. Everyone looked at Urshan, waiting for his command.

Urshan took a deep breath, feeling both excited and nervous. This was the first scene of the movie, and the starring Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu and Li Xuejian, such an opportunity is once a year! He exhaled and said loudly: "Let's officially start filming!" Then he began to shout commands: "Start! Play the board! Start!"

As the Urshan command sounded, the filming of the movie "One Man's Lights and Decoration" officially began.

Zhang Jingchu asked Li Xuejian to sit down and put a white apron in front of Li Xuejian. She stepped on one of the handles of the chair and raised the chair. She picked up an electric haircut from the dressing table, then picked up a comb, and carefully cut Li Xuejian's hair. After cutting for a while, he picked up a pair of silver scissors and began to trim the details of his hair.

After cutting it for a while, Zhang Jingchu felt that it was almost done. She put down the comb and scissors, took a brush to apply foam, gently applied it on Li Xuejian's chin, and applied half of his face with snow-white foam. Then, she pressed Li Xuejian's face with her left hand and held a shaver in her right hand and shaved gently on his face with a soft look, her movements were gentle, and she looked very professional.

Li Xuejian seemed to enjoy this feeling very much and closed his eyes comfortably.

According to Zhang Ran's design, the content of this part of the play will be deleted, the picture will not appear in the movie, only the sound will be retained. The movie will start with a black screen that is four or five minutes long, and during these four or five minutes, the audience can only hear various sounds.

If it were other directors, this part of the sound would definitely be produced by post-synthesis, but Zhang Ran wanted real effects, so he adopted the real shot.

Zhang Jingchu and Li Xuejian knew that Zhang Ran had high requirements and did not dare to slack off at all. They meticulously presented the entire process of haircut; they did not dare to be careless when the handheld machine was carrying the camera and aimed the camera tightly at Zhang Jingchu's face; Ur stared at the monitor screen in a fear of any mistakes.

Five minutes later, Li Xuejian opened his eyes. Zhang Jingchu saw him open his eyes, frowned slightly, gestured with his hands, and made a babbling sound in his mouth, as if asking if he was hurt.

The picture in the monitor is still a close-up, still Zhang Jingchu's face, but Urshan's nerves tense instantly, his eyes widened, staring at Zhang Jingchu in the camera. Because according to Zhang Ran's design, the moment Li Xuejian opened his eyes, the movie began to have pictures, that is, the real performance began.

After Zhang Jingchu finished gestures, Li Xuejian smiled slightly at Jingchu, gestured in his hand and said, "I'm fine, you continue to shave." Zhang Jingchu was relieved, smiled, and continued to shave Li Xuejian with the razor in his hand.

At the same time, the camera lens slowly began to pull backwards, from the close-up to the medium shot, and finally into a large panoramic view. In the camera, Zhang Jingchu bowed and shaved her beard with a razor intently.

Urshan, behind the monitor, was stunned to see this scene. At this moment, he felt as if he was really in a barber shop, watching all this from the side like a customer waiting for a haircut. He was amazed in his heart. This was the real performance, no, this was not a performance, Jingchu was really shaving Teacher Li!

At this moment, the camera lens shook gently to the right and looked at the door of the barber shop. In the camera, Zhang Ran walked in from outside the shop. He looked at Zhang Jingchu, with a gentle light in his eyes. He chuckled and sat down on the stool next to him.

The first shot ends here. Urshan was very satisfied with the entire performance. He picked up the stepper and shouted loudly: "Very good, this shot is here. Everyone have a rest!"

This shot took nearly six minutes and everyone was a little tired. Hearing Urshan's words, the handheld machine put down the camera, the boom operator put down the boom, and Zhang Jingchu sat directly on the chair, and the whole scene relaxed.

After hearing Urshan's command, Zhang Ran immediately walked out of the barber shop and came to a blue shed in the yard. Urshan, the monitor and the director team are all here, which is the crew's command center.

Entering the command center, Zhang Ran called out the shot he had just taken and looked carefully. He was very satisfied with the whole performance. Everyone performed well and had almost no flaws. However, the most important thing about this shot is the sound, and only the sound without flaws can pass. Zhang Ran asked the staff of the special effects group to cut off all the pictures in front of Li Xuejian's eyes, and then let the recording group synthesize the sound and pictures to see how the final effect is.

Soon, the synthetic lens appeared in front of Zhang Ran. There was no picture in the lens, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. You could only hear various sounds, the buzzing sound of electric hair clippers, the clicking sound of scissors cutting hair, and the hissing sound of shaving. These sounds appeared one after another, detailing the entire process of haircut to everyone.

After five minutes of black screen, the picture flashed and Zhang Jingchu appeared in the camera and asked Li Xuejian if he was hurt.

Zhang Ran pressed pause, turned the camera back to the beginning, and started playing again. He listened carefully to each of the sounds.

After listening to it several times, Zhang Ran finally shook his head slowly and said, "No, the sound has not achieved the effect I want, and it must be reshooted."

Zhang Ran came out of the command center, walked into the barber shop, called the actor and the boom operator over, looked at the boom operator and said, "I told you that our lens is very complex, with many changes, and there are various changes. There is a change first, an objective lens, then a subjective lens, and finally an objective lens. I hope the sound also needs to change with the changes of the lens. I just heard that from an objective lens to a subjective lens, the difference between the two is not particularly obvious. There are differences, but you need to pay special attention to it to notice. I hope it can be more obvious. The sound should be loud enough when the subjective lens is, so that the audience feels like it sounds in our ears. Do you understand?"

The boom operator nodded and said, "I understand!"

Zhang Ran patted the shoulder of the boom operator, signaled him to cheer up, and then shouted: "Each group is ready, let's do it again!"

The entire crew started moving and the filming started again. However, this time it still failed, and it was still a matter of sound. Next, it took three more films before getting Zhang Ran's approval and passed it hard.

The most complicated shot of the first scene of the movie is the first shot. After this shot is passed, it is basically an opponent between the actors. Zhang Ran and the others are very well prepared and their acting skills are excellent enough, so the entire shooting becomes very easy, and basically one or two passes.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the crew finally ushered in the last scene of the first scene, where Lao Huang and Gangzha passed by and walked out of the barber shop.

Zhang Ran sat on a stool, crossed his legs, put his right hand on his knee, and looked at Zhang Jingchu who was greeting guests with a gentle look. Li Xuejian, who was walking outside the store after cutting his hair, was passing by Zhang Ran, when he turned around and glanced at Zhang Ran, as if he had noticed something, and then suddenly turned around and glanced at Zhang Ran's hand, then he frowned and walked out of the barber shop.

After filming the scene, Zhang Ran returned to the command center, turned the camera out and watched it twice, and said with great emotion: "Teacher Li is really amazing. This scene is so good, it's really a slight effort!"

Li Xuejian has good acting skills, and everyone knows it, but this scene is extremely simple. When he passed by Zhang Ran, the calluses on Zhang Ran’s hand attracted his attention. Looking back, it was not difficult. But Zhang Ran expressed such feelings, and Urshan was puzzled: "It doesn’t look special, what’s the good thing?"

Zhang Ran smiled faintly, turned the screen back, pointed to the screen and said, "When he saw Teacher Li's movements turned around, he looked back first, then quickly turned around immediately, and looked again. This movement seems very simple, right? But I dare to say that, less than one percent of the people in our domestic actors can do this action easily and ease like him!"

Urshan couldn't believe his ears. Isn't it just a camera that looked back and looked around? How could only one percent of the actors do it? But Urshan also believed that Zhang Ran would not talk nonsense and asked, "How could it be so difficult?"
