I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 399 397. Grow up

Xu Xin's words were certainly not groundless.

The shooting contents in the morning all took place in a nightclub, and there were not many places where lines could actually be used.

The scene with Zhang Jiao and her just now had the most lines.

But it was from this scene that he discovered a big shortcoming of the other party.

That is, there is a problem with the segmentation of the lines, and the sound is particularly scattered.

Although actors' acting is not as good as cross talk, they have to press the Dantian with one breath, and use this breath to push up to make the vocal cords vibrate and make sounds.

But at least the sound must be concentrated, not scattered or empty.

As a good friend of Jay Chou, he once talked to Wheel about sound.

According to the wheel itself, that is:

"In the early days, my mid-bass was really bad, the resonance was very thin, and my chest couldn't be opened. So when you hear my voice, it's actually very scattered."

Xu Xin doesn't understand music.

But the two of them have been together for a long time, and they know more or less.

For example, Lun Lun now starts to focus on "opening the teeth" when singing, and the resonance position has moved up a lot. He began to reduce the use of voice compression, pushing the voice through the chest, and the guttural sound began to decrease...

In short, if we really talk about it, the sound of the wheel has gone through different changes in several periods of history.

Make little adjustments to continue to protect the function of your voice.

The reason why I take Jay Chou as an example is because Liu Yifei's current line level... although she is not a singer, she is very similar to Jay Chou.

That is talking, just talking, the voice is not focused.

It was difficult for Xu Xin to feel the change in emotion through her lines when she spoke calmly.

She just "reads" the lines, but has no emotion.

And if you really want to hear emotions from the voice, unless you are filming a scene of great love and hatred, you can "roar" the voice so that people can perceive what is contained in it.

Therefore, her lines are scattered and weak, and... the most uncomfortable thing is her sentence fragmentation.

Xu Xin felt quite uncomfortable hearing this.

There was no one else in the room at this moment, so he replayed the scene again:

"Listen to your sentence."

Following his words, Liu Yifei's own voice came from Liu Yifei's earphones:

"One hundred yuan, isn't that money?"

"The "one hundred yuan" sentence break here is actually unnecessary. In a very natural way... Isn't a hundred yuan money? Just like this, it will actually be more in line with the relationship between two friends. The context of the chat. At the same time... don't forget that you drank. People who drink will speak more casually, and your sentence break seems particularly deliberate..."

"Then why didn't you ask me to adjust just now?"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask.

Then Xu Xin shrugged:

"Because the overall effect is pretty good, I waited until you finished filming and re-watched the complete sequence before I felt it. This scene will have to be reshot later, and we can wait until everyone has finished eating."

"...Well, I'm actually practicing properly using the method you taught me."

"The one Wang Zhiwen said?"

"Yes. Reciting...but I don't do much, and I can't hear anything wrong..."

"You still have to practice."

Hearing this, Xu Xin's tone was quite firm:

"The emphasis of your lines is quite weak. Which word is the key point and which word needs to be dealt with quickly... Your performance is quite average. Your acting skills can be improved by the perfection of your preliminary preparations, but lines are a matter of individual vocal habits. . You must learn how to accurately find the emotions of the characters and interpret their joys, sorrows and joys through "speaking". Otherwise, nine out of ten of your dramas will require dubbing... Yes, you can How about hiring a voice actor for some training?"

When he said this, he suddenly got an inspiration.

Gave his own suggestions.

It goes without saying that voice actors have basic skills in controlling sounds.

If you can find them for training, this path should be feasible.

"Have Mimi looked for it?"

"She didn't. She was looking for someone from the People's Art School. There are many good actors in the People's Art School. At that time, she was just following them like a little bitch every day. Each teacher kept shouting..."

"..."

Liu Yifei did not continue speaking, but nodded slightly:

"Okay, for a moment...if there is anything wrong with the lines, you can call me at any time. I will adjust it little by little..."

"Um."

Xu Xin responded, saved the camera, and the two of them walked out of the house and started to receive their lunch boxes.

Soon, the meal was all finished.

The crew got back to work, and he asked everyone to reshoot that scene again.

This time, Liu Yifei seemed to have figured it out on her own, and her tone had a hint of drunken erraticness. That kind of erratic casualness was quite appropriate in this scene.

Then, after the filming of the scene was completed, the crew began to rest.

The next scene is when Liu Yifei got the little boy's letter and cried bitterly in the bathroom.

It can also be regarded as one of the most sensational points in the entire "Deal".

Xu Xin gave her plenty of preparation time and let her adjust slowly.

And her preparation time was not slow either.

Less than 15 minutes…

"I can do it."

"Okay, everyone is in your place."

After hearing Xu Xin's words, the crew who had already settled down early began to get into work mode.

The bathroom door opened, and Liu Yifei came to the toilet.

Xu Xin waited for less than a minute, and after making sure she didn't mean to remind him, he shouted:

"Act 12, scene one, three, two, one...begin!"

"vomit!"

As his words fell, Liu Yifei retched and lay down on the toilet the moment she heard the scorer's call.

The toilet in this bathroom has been washed two or three times.

Logically speaking, it is clean.

But it's just that smell in the bathroom... it's really not light after years and months.

"vomit……"

"Pap tap tap..."

When Liu Yifei vomited for the second time, Xu Xin was suddenly startled when he heard the sound on the radio.

Is this...really vomiting?

He stared at the camera closely, and then heard another voice:

"Ugh~~~~"

This time, the pattering sound turned into a rattling sound...

Quite disgusting.

He also frowned.

But he didn't shout stop.

And Liu Yifei had no intention of stopping. After vomiting several times in succession, when she looked up from the toilet...the corners of her mouth were all streaked with saliva.

"..."

"..."

"..."

This is really vomiting.

Both the person who listened to the radio and Fang Xiu who took the photo smelled a sour smell.

However, if Lao Xu didn’t shout to stop, it couldn’t be stopped.

When she raised her head, the camera in Fang Xiu's hand began to move forward steadily.

Liu Yifei also wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth rather boldly and closed the toilet seat.

After the gurgling sound of pumping, she staggered to the dressing table, washing her hands and gargling her mouth while wandering.

even……

"Hmph~!~~~"

She also blew her nose.

That flick of the hand was so natural.

Xu Xin couldn't help but nodded in front of the monitor.

Not bad.

very nice.

what's next?

What to do with emotions?

As soon as the idea came to his mind, Liu Yifei also finished washing his hands, and then took the paper from his handbag.

At this time, Xu Xin spoke again:

"The props are directly put on the paper, and I will give a close-up later. Yifei maintains her emotions. This part is very good."

Following his words, Prop quickly handed over the two composition papers.

Fang Xiu also gave up on getting the paper from the bag for her, but found the close-up of the draft paper, quickly passed her, and came to the position facing the toilet.

The camera shook for a while, and after taking away the power cord to prevent the camera from getting through, Liu Yifei had already unfolded the manuscript and staggered to sit on the toilet.

Here in the film, there will be a child's monologue.

I just read the contents of the "My Mother" composition he wrote. The waitress discovered that the little boy had been paying attention to her daily life and regarded her as her own mother, and then she started to burst into tears.

There was absolutely no sound during the filming.

She can only act through her own emotions.

Holding the manuscript paper, she sat on the toilet and unfolded the paper. She first smoothed her messy hairstyle to show her professional instinct of cherishing her image, and then her body froze.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

It froze for about ten seconds, and suddenly, her hands began to tremble.

Next comes the shoulders.

Finally, there was a choking sound starting from covering her mouth.

She just covered her mouth and cried.

And Xu Xin also gave her a big pass in his heart.

This scene goes from the initial foreshadowing, to the very life-like habits including blowing your nose, to the gradually advancing emotion of crying after she sits down.

Can't find anything wrong with it.

He was not surprised at all that Liu Yifei could do it.

And the finish quality is so good, these few months have not been in vain.

So, after leaving enough time for the entire scene to reach 2 minutes and 45 seconds, he nodded:

"OK, that's it. Close-up."

Soon, after a close-up of the waitress taking paper from her bag was shown, all the staff began to evacuate the box.

We have to start filming scenes where people are crowded in the corridors of nightclubs.

On the first floor of the nightclub, there is a bathtub that means attracting wealth.

There are a lot of things inside that I don’t know if they are turbot or some other kind of fish, which are perfect for taking pictures.

While the others retreated, Xu Xin began to play back.

During the playback, Liu Yifei, who had wiped away her tears, came to him and started watching with him.

While watching, there was a makeup artist helping her touch up her makeup.

"How did I perform this time?"

"Passed."

Xu Xin nodded in approval:

“The emotional progression is great. Can’t fault it~”

"Huh... Then I'll be relieved."

…

The filming in the nightclub was close to 4 pm. When the cleaning staff started to go to work, all the scenes in the nightclub were filmed and the crew began to leave.

Lu Yang has already taken the first step.

Tonight is the scene where the wine girl and the little boy go home together.

Xu Xin's request was to pass by a busy snack street and use this kind of human fireworks to reflect the "emptiness" and loneliness in the hearts of the two people.

And in Yanjing City, perhaps because of the end of the year, the inspections in all aspects have been a bit strict, especially for small businesses such as stalls. The urban management can't wait to come from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.

So he had already reported to the urban management department in advance and obtained the permit. He also hired some food stalls and extras to wait there.

You have to go there in advance to settle.

By the time the crew members arrived, it was almost dark.

Lu Yang found a hotel in advance and asked for three private rooms for everyone to eat and drink.

On the way to eat, Wang Junkai and Gong Shenghong were brought over by Shuangwei's car.

We sit at the same table as Xu Xin and eat.

Everyone ate in a hurry, including Xu Xin.

After finishing the meal, Wang Junkai went to put on makeup under the leadership of the makeup artist, and Xu Xin also came to the snack street they had specially built to see the situation.

The lights along the way, the camera positions, etc. were all determined, and the little boy’s makeup was also done.

Following Lu Yang's arrangements, all crew members, including the food stall owners and extras, also took their places.

Liu Yifei, who finally changed her clothes and came out, obviously caused a lot of commotion.

But it soon subsided under Lu Yang's loud speaker.

Then, as the sound of three-two-one sounded, the people on the street seemed to suddenly come to life.

Some vendors followed the director's request and opened their own steaming soup pots first.

Some people greet the diners in front of their stalls with a completely professional instinct.

At the same time, I was muttering in my heart...

Filming this time seems to be no different from ordinary business.

In the midst of this worldly fireworks, Fang Xiu held a camera and methodically captured the scene Lao Xu wanted.

In the monitor, Xu Xin nodded slightly as he saw the scene of mottled light and shadow colliding with human fireworks on this winter day.

It just felt right.

Soon, I walked back and forth on this street twice.

The actors began to prepare.

Without Xu Xin taking action, Lu Yang himself began to tell Wang Junkai the story and instruct him on what to do.

Then, the crew started filming.

In the crowded alley of the night market, two people with an indescribable sense of loneliness and alienation appeared in front of the camera one after another.

The requirements for Wang Junkai are very simple, he just needs to keep his head down and walk.

Liu Yifei from behind will naturally match his pace.

Xu Xin checked the child's expression in the early stage, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, his eyes were fixed on a woman dressed in red, who looked a bit washed away compared to the dress of a bartender during the day.

Without those cheap sequins, it has a slightly dusty look.

At this moment, she was wearing a headband from the little boy's mother and a slightly old-fashioned red dress. Her appearance walking behind the boy combined with the surrounding light and shadow gave her a very different kind of beauty.

Xu Xin's eyebrows immediately rose when he saw it:

"oh?"

be honest……

It's quite exciting.

She is obviously very "fairy", but she plays the role of a promiscuous woman.

And at this moment, this promiscuous woman came ashore again.

That kind of contrast suddenly highlighted Liu Yifei's femininity.

At least for Xu Xin, that's the case.

He swore.

At this moment, the woman standing in the light and shadow is one of the most beautiful women he has ever photographed.

Brackets: Yang Mi does not count.

Likewise, it was also his most satisfying shot.

Because at this moment, he finally wore away the "immortal energy" in her body.

He is not a fan of Liu Yifei, so the shots he took told all Liu Yifei's fans:

"Stop your obsession with Zhao Ling'er, Wang Yuyan, and Xiao Longnu."

"The Liu Yifei in your heart, the fairy sister in your heart..."

"grown up."

My wife is a sheep. My daughter-in-law’s grandmother is also a sheep. I had a toothache for a day. I only had a box of ibuprofen at home, but I was afraid it wouldn’t be enough, so I kept having an erection during the day.

But the price of holding on is that I can’t write at all. The toothache felt like it was drilling into my head like an electric drill.

At around 4pm, I couldn't bear it any longer and ate one.

Feel much more comfortable. I immediately wanted to code... but my wife told me that she was cold. The old lady also said she felt a little uncomfortable.

Then...a 37.6 and a 37.5.

My body temperature was also 37.4, but because I took ibuprofen, I didn’t feel very obvious. I don’t know what will happen after the effect of the medicine wears off.

I was drinking water like crazy, taking care of my wife, my grandma, and my children. I cannot fall down until they are back to their original state.

It’s 4,000 today, I’ll tell you tomorrow depending on the situation.
