Chapter 391 The fish stall sells fish and uses a substitute

In the first scene, Zhou Jitao said at the beginning that he had to go over it once.

However, after the filming, he continued: "Let's keep one thing, Teacher Xu will continue to keep it, and we will keep another one."

At the beginning, Fang Xing thought Zhou Jitao was really going to go through it all over again.

After running in a few times, I realized that this was Zhou Jitao's mantra.

I say it once every time I start shooting, and then I say one guarantee after the shooting.

Even though the actors are all talented, the first scene still needs to be adjusted.

There needs to be a chemical reaction between actors, and this reaction process takes time.

Breaking in is this process.

After filming the first scene five times, Fang Xing walked over and watched the monitor with Zhou Jitao.

I have read it five times, and it was actually very good the first time.

After all, the actors in the first scene were Fang Xing, Xu Zhiwen, and Lin Jian, who played "Li Xiang".

The three people's acting skills are all very good. As soon as the scene notes are written, the drama comes.

If it were the crew of other idol dramas, it would be easy to do it all over again if they could film it to this level.

Zhou Jitao and Fang Xing have the same idea, they don’t want to be the best, they just want to be better.

Especially for the first scene, the actor must be in the best condition.

As expected, each of the subsequent ones was better than the last.

However, when it came to the fifth article, it was obvious that Xu Zhiwen's emotions were a bit overdrawn.

After all, his performance requires too many and complex emotions. Every time he eats dumplings, he has to show the emotion of being on the verge of collapse due to family affection.

Moreover, Xu Zhiwen absorbed all his emotions and released them every time. After taking five photos, his emotions began to overdraw.

After reading the five pieces of material, Fang Xing discussed with Zhou Jitao: "This scene can be passed. The third and fourth cuts can be mixed to achieve the most ideal effect."

Zhou Jitao nodded in agreement: "I think so too. Then prepare for the next scene?"

"You are the director, you decide." Fang Xing did not take the right to speak on the set.

The way for two directors to cooperate and avoid conflicts is to divide the tasks well from the beginning.

Zhou Jitao clapped his hands and said to the director: "The first scene is over, the actors are taking a rest and preparing for the transition."

…

It was so comfortable to film with an acting talent.

Fang Xing even felt that filming "Hurry Up" was easier than filming any of his previous films.

The main reason is that the actors are so awesome that they can act without even having to tell the story.

When telling a play, as long as you make a request, the actor will find a way to do it without having to emphasize a scene repeatedly.

Sometimes there are surprises.

Of course, the reason why filming can be so easy is that all the energy is spent on early casting.

Fang Xing and Zhou Jitao followed the crew to audition actors intensively for almost two months. It can be said that they were physically and mentally exhausted. During this period, they lost more than ten kilograms.

If you pay attention to the casting in the early stage, you will naturally have less worry during filming.

After a few days of filming, the crew moved to the vegetable market.

The fish stall in the wet market is an important scene in the early stage of this drama.

Today, we are going to shoot "Gao Qiqiang" selling fish at a fish stall.

The crew has set up the scene several days in advance.

On the day when the shooting started, Fang Xing came to the vegetable market early in the morning, walked around the market, pointed at the stalls in the frame, and arranged:

"This row will be selling vegetables. Go to another vegetable market and bring the baskets and foam boxes from the stall directly. I want the freshest vegetables today.

"Also, the drainage ditch is too clean, and there are some rotten vegetable leaves in it."

After the arrangements were almost made, Fang Xing turned to assistant director Zhang Yigao and asked, "Has the fish stall's substitute been found?"

Zhang Yigao nodded quickly and replied: "Yes, I found a fish stall owner in the nearby market who looks similar to Teacher Xu."

"Very good. Teacher Xu will be here later. Let him chat with the fish stall owner first." After Fang Xing finished speaking, he continued to move forward and adjust the scenery.

When filming the scenes of "Gao Qiqiang" selling fish, some scenes required "Gao Qiqiang" to personally kill the fish and scrape the scales.

Xu Zhiwen lives a very down-to-earth life and knows how to kill and scale fish, but cooking at home and selling fish in the market are two different things.

When the fish stall owner kills fish, he pays attention to doing it quickly and cleanly.

Therefore, a substitute must be prepared.

Stand-ins are widely used in movies and TV dramas.

There are many professional stand-ins in the film and television base.

Let’s not talk about martial arts stunt doubles, most viewers know this.

In addition to martial arts stand-ins, there are also pen stand-ins, naked stand-ins, light stand-ins, and piano stand-ins.

Take calligraphy as an example. In costume dramas, there are often scenes of characters writing calligraphy with calligraphy.

These shots usually only capture hands and tables.

You can see that the "protagonist" wrote very beautiful fonts on the paper.

However, in the entertainment industry, how many celebrities can write well?

Therefore, these scenes were shot with a stand-in.

It can be said that in movies and TV series, as long as the face is not visible in the scenes, most of them are stand-ins.

Therefore, when preparing to shoot the scene of "Gao Qiqiang" selling fish, the crew had already found a stand-in.

…

When the scenery was almost arranged, Xu Zhiwen had already put on makeup.

When he arrived, Fang Xing was talking to the fish stand substitute.

Xu Zhiwen greeted: "Director Fang, I went to the wet market yesterday to help the fish stall owner sell fish. As a result, I was not skilled in my movements and delayed his business."

"I have a substitute, so it won't be a problem." Fang Xing didn't care.

Xu Zhiwen is indeed very serious. Before joining the team, after reading the script, he went to the wet market to see how the fish stall sells fish, and even chatted with the fish stall owner.

Although there are stand-ins for the fish-killing scenes, the effect will be better if the essence of the fish stall owner can also be shown in the scenes where the face is shown.

"Teacher Xu is going to put on makeup first, and we'll take a close-up shot of killing fish first." Fang Xing saw Zhou Jitao also arriving and was about to start shooting.

The camera team has arranged the camera positions, three camera positions are directly above, on the left, and on the right, facing the table of the fish stall.

Fang Xing greeted the fish stall owner and said, "Don't be nervous, just kill fish as you usually do, and try to be as quick as possible."

The fish stall owner raised his hand and made an OK gesture: "Don't worry, I have been selling fish for twenty years. I can't do anything else. I can kill fish with my eyes closed."

"Let's go to some Datou rivers first." Fang Xing pointed to the bighead carp in the fish tank.

"Shall we start now?" the fish stall owner asked.

"The recorder will take charge of the game, and the game will begin after the game has been completed." Fang Xing said.

The game recorder came over to mark the board and record the number of games.

The fish stall owner wore plastic gloves and quickly grabbed a bighead carp from the fish tank, put it on the chopping board, knocked it out with a knife, then picked up the fish scale brush and scraped it clean three times.

Immediately afterwards, he cut open the fish belly with a knife and took out the fish intestines and swim bladder.

"Want to install it?" the fish stall owner asked.

"Pretend, put it together and pass it to me." Fang Xing waved.

The fish stall owner quickly packed the fish in a red plastic bag and handed it to Fang Xing.

When Fang Xing saw this, he couldn't help but show an expression of surprise on his face.

The fish stall owner has obviously been selling fish for many years and knows very well what his customers think.

Most customers don't want to get fishy fish on their hands when buying fish.

Therefore, when the fish stall owner packs the fish, he does not touch the handle of the plastic bag and hands it to the customer, so that the customer's hands will not get dirty when holding the handle.

Fang Xing took note of this and planned to ask Xu Zhiwen to do the same thing later.

The fish stall stand-in can only do the part of killing the fish, setting up the camera where the fish is handed to the customer, and the face needs to be captured, so Xu Zhiwen still needs to do it in person.

After filming the stand-in scene, Xu Zhiwen also put on makeup and got ready.

Originally, Fang Xing was planning to remind Xu Zhiwen to hold the fish in his hands when handing it to customers.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiwen did this for the first time without being reminded.
