Chapter 105 "Transformation into Men and Women"
In the quiet bedroom, there were more than a dozen people crowded together, lighting, design, makeup, and recording.
But the weird thing is that there are more than a dozen people huddled in a corner of the bedroom, and the part of the bedroom where the camera is facing the bed, at least judging from the picture shown by the camera, seems particularly empty.
Because it is an indoor shot, the camera angle has already been adjusted. The camera operator does not need to make much movement, just move the camera up, down, left, and right.
After being quiet for a while, the writer Zhang Ziyi, who was acting as the scene recorder, finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He looked at Li Boya, who was also standing behind the camera next to him, with a strange look on his face and said, "Director Li, can we start filming now?"
Li Boya glanced at writer Zhang Ziyi who knew what he was asking: "Nonsense, hurry up and hit the board."
Writer Zhang Ziyi was very unhappy after being scolded, but who made Li Boya the director, so Ma Liang whispered aggrievedly: "I want to make the decision, but Director Li, you haven't called start yet, you are calling action!"
Looking at the aggrieved writer Zhang Ziyi, Li Boya smacked his lips lightly and said without any embarrassment: "I never shout start when filming, isn't the script just the beginning? Why should I bother with it?"
How about a shout?"
"I……"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and play the game. If Peng Xiaoyu gets out of shape later, I won't be able to spare you."
Being glared at by Li Boya again, writer Zhang Ziyi was so aggrieved that she almost cried. Instead of shouting "start", she let the recorder make the signal to start shooting. She tolerated this. It was a weird thing. She had also heard of many directors' filming habits.
There are many people who are outrageous about Li Boya.
But……
Taking courage, writer Zhang Ziyi looked at Li Boya pitifully and said, "Director Li, why don't you look at the monitor?"
Li Boya looked at writer Zhang Ziyi who was talking a lot of nonsense today. He also knew that he was somewhat unique in staying at the scene. You could tell by looking at the uneasy and awkward looks of the people around him.
"If you don't go, I'll just stay at the scene. This way, if something goes wrong, I can adjust it in time. Why bother looking at the 'second-hand information' on the monitor?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and hit the board!"
As he spoke, Li Boya raised his hand and pushed writer Zhang Ziyi out who was about to say something else.
Writer Zhang Ziyi also smiled helplessly. After taking a resentful look at the maverick Li Boya, he honestly started his job of taking notes.
"The first scene of "Transformation", the first shot!"
Snap!
…
The bedroom became completely quiet, and even the sound of people's breathing seemed to disappear along with the sound of beating boards.
Under everyone's breathless gaze, about three seconds later, Peng Xiaoyu, who was lying quietly on the bed, quietly opened his sleepy eyes.
For the drama "Transformation", after receiving the script, Peng Xiaoyu was asked by Li Boya to grow his hair for a month. Therefore, compared to Peng Xiaoyu's neat short hair in the past, at this moment, he has a hair covered in hair.
A chicken coop that has been carefully taken care of by a makeup artist.
…
Peng Xiaoyu opened his eyes, and after being stunned for a while, he closed his eyes again.
Tick bell bell…
A phone rang that ruined the atmosphere. Peng Xiaoyu opened his eyes with an irritated look. He took the phone a little bit and answered the call with dissatisfaction: "Who is it? It's so early in the morning, I have a habit of sleeping in.
, how can you still be so ruthless and want to help me change it?"
"My brother? Shan Qing?"
After saying that, Peng Xiaoyu seemed to be more energetic, and he sat up unsteadily like a boneless chicken.
"You want to come over?"
"What? No, you are not allowed to come over."
"What? There's no reason, it just doesn't work."
…
"Card!"
The lines are very smooth, and Peng Xiaoyu's acting is also very natural. Perhaps because of his hairstyle, Peng Xiaoyu doesn't look so handsome, and he can be considered ordinary.
Everyone turned their attention to Li Boya who called for a stop, including the male lead Peng Xiaoyu.
The first scene of the whole play, the first shot, not to mention Li Boya, the other crew members all hope to go through it once. Although it is a bit superstitious, the good luck of "over it once" will still increase the number of people.
Next shot of confidence.
However, except for director Li Boya, in fact, no one has that much confidence in doing it again. The specific reason is naturally blamed on Li Boya.
It was just a one-of-a-kind script with no plot and no dialogue. The shooting just now was completely Peng Xiaoyu's free play.
And what did Li Boya do? He gave the scene, the character setting, and then it was gone. Not to mention Peng Xiaoyu, the male protagonist, even the crew members scolded Li Boya in their hearts for not being a thing.
Anyway, I always feel that the drama "Transformation" is really unreliable, and there is a possibility that it may die at any time, just like a novel without an outline, it will collapse sooner or later, and then the eunuch.
In full view of everyone, Li Boya met Peng Xiaoyu's anxious eyes: "Get ready for the next shot!"
Eh? What does this mean? Passed? Over again?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but Li Boya did not give them any time to remain stunned and suspicious. After thinking for a while, Li Boya walked to Peng Xiaoyu's side.
"The dialogue you just designed is good and can be kept. It just so happens that the role of brother Shan Qing you added, I can ask Hu Ge to make a guest appearance."
"I won't continue to make a few guarantees. Let's get on with it. It's better to get up early in the morning. But this time it's your classmate. You misunderstood him as your brother. By the way, let me tell you when your brother will come to your house. Get ready.
Bar!"
With that said, Li Boya walked behind the camera again and looked at Peng Xiaoyu who was thinking with satisfaction.
The role of Shan Qing originally did not exist, but Li Boya also understood the reason why Peng Xiaoyu took the initiative to add the role, in order to enrich his inner sense of depth as the male protagonist Shan Ming.
As for Peng Xiaoyu's overstepping of authority? Stop making trouble. If you give someone a script like that, how else do you want someone to act in it?
Although overstepping one's authority is a big taboo in the industry, it happens at different times. Of course, it also depends on the person. I don't say how common it is for big-name actors to change their scripts, but at least it happens.
Regarding the taboo of overstepping one's authority, Li Boya, let alone other directors, doesn't care that much.
Well, this is mainly based on Li Boya's piece of script with basically nothing. It doesn't matter whether you change it or not, and whether you add it or not, as long as it doesn't deviate from the theme.
Following Peng Xiaoyu's train of thought, Li Boya also set up the role of Shan Qing in his mind. A genius brother, living in the shadow of such an outstanding person, even though Peng Xiaoyu is a little handsome and talented.
, in comparison, it will involuntarily become ordinary. This is the effect of comparison.
Well, unintentionally, Peng Xiaoyu's overstepping of authority and role allowed Li Boya to find a little idea to trick Hu Ge.
How can an urban romance drama be without some laughs?
The filming continued, and Peng Xiaoyu woke up confused again.
"Brother, didn't you say you would come tomorrow? Why are you calling me now? You will be punished for disturbing someone's dream, brother!"
"What? Devil Li changed his class? Why? I'm still planning to sleep until the afternoon?"
"I know, I know. Just be prepared. If I'm late, please call my name."
With an irritated roar, Peng Xiaoyu suddenly opened the quilt and hurriedly picked up the clothes on one side and put them on.
After a long period of busy work, Peng Xiaoyu rushed out of the bedroom wearing wrinkled clothes.
"Card!"
"Peng Xiaoyu, you are a little too steady. Do you know that you will be late?"
"Do it again, be busy and panic!"
The cold-faced Li Boya is still very scary. At least I think the writer Zhang Ziyi, who had a good shot just now, is now bowing his head and pretending to be good, not daring to breathe.
"I understand, Director Li, let's do it again!"
Peng Xiaoyu didn't say anything, while taking off his clothes, he lay down on the bed numbly.
"Don't move. It's fine to leave your clothes like this. It's natural."
Seeing that Peng Xiaoyu had taken off his clothes and scattered them on the ground, the props team was about to step forward to clean them up when Li Boya stopped them in time.
"Peng Xiaoyu, hang up the phone later and just follow the path of your clothes. Don't be shy and put on your pants first. Remember, you are in urgent need now and you can't control so much."
