Chapter 98 Sampan

New York in November is already cold.

If it's the beach, it's even colder.

But whether it is for plot needs or considering the image and beauty of the actors when they appear on the big screen, it is impossible to allow actors to wear too thick costumes to shoot at this time.

In order to highlight the actor's beautiful body lines, it is even necessary to deliberately wear less clothes. This is two different concepts: selling meat. After all, no one can deny the actor's appearance and body appearance, and it is always very attractive to the audience. Otherwise, the heroine of the movie would not have to deliberately choose some young girls with high appearance.

What's more, Qin Jingjing is also a famous beauty.

But the actors will suffer a little.

After coming to New York, the crew of "Fairy Tales of Autumn" first processed several scattered shots that were allowed to shoot on the street after coordination with the local police station. Then they came to the beach and took some shots on the beach while waiting for notification from the airport. They were ready to go over and shoot the airport pick-up hall and the camera outside the pick-up hall at any time.

This is how filming is filmed. Costume films are better. There are studios for indoor dramas, outdoor dramas have film and television cities, and outdoor dramas are either beautiful mountains and rivers or gobi deserts. They are all places where no one is, and they are all easy to deal with. But modern urban dramas are more troublesome. If the director insists on field shooting, it will be even more troublesome. If the site is still in the United States or in a big city like New York, it will be even more troublesome.

Fortunately, Minghu Culture has already had some foundation in the United States.

John Dess is an old guy who has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years and has been a producer for more than ten years. He has rich experience in dealing with governments, police and tax bureaus in the United States and even around the world. Du Yihua has been in the United States for this year and is not in vain.

If it really doesn't work, Colombia can also help clear the discussion on dealing with governments at all levels in the United States, and Colombia is even more qualified.

It’s just that time needs to be coordinated, and everything has to be done according to the schedule.

For example, if you block the entrance to the pick-up hall of New York Airport for two hours for shooting, it is definitely not anyone who can say it. Even the airport manager must make certain adjustments based on the flight conditions and take out a time period with relatively low execution difficulty. The key is to follow the script of "Fairy Tales in Autumn", here the bow ruler still needs to show off your driving skills, and it must be during the day.

Li Qian shaved the stubble she had left during the shooting a few days ago, changed into a straight suit, and then let the makeup artist fiddle on his face for a while, and his hair was reshaped. He looked in the mirror and felt that he was quite handsome in a suit, so he walked out of the trailer.

On the beach, Lu Lingxi was sitting in the director's chair wrapped in a down jacket, but two girls, one big and one small, holding hands by the beach, were all wearing thin clothes, the little girl was better. The crew was really afraid that she would get sick, so they specifically allowed her to wear a coat, but Qin Jingjing was really just a T-shirt, and she could only wear it on her arm and could not wear it.

The wind by the sea is very cool.

Li Qian walked behind the monitor and looked at the performance of two girls, one big and one small in the monitor camera. The scene where the sea breeze blows Qin Jingjing's hair, I have to say that she is really beautiful.

But this shot made Lu Lingxi not very satisfied.

She seemed to have not noticed Li Qian at all and stood behind her. After shouting "Crack", she stood up and walked over, explained something to Qin Jingjing, then squatted down, said something to the young actor, and then turned around and walked back. She suddenly saw Li Qian.

"Tsk tsk!"

Li Qian stood there in a suit, and she lit up her eyes. She tsk her mouth twice, not knowing what she wanted to express. Then, without saying anything, she returned to her director's chair and picked up the speaker, "Everyone has it, do it again, pay attention, let's try to pass!"

At this time, Qin Nuo ran over with a long down jacket and whispered to Li Qian, "It's so cold, put it on quickly! You can take it off when you take it later!"

Li Qian himself didn't feel too cold. After all, he had a suit jacket, but when he heard this, he still obediently stretched out his arms and asked her to put on the down jacket for himself.

"Prepare...begin!"

Everyone moved. A few American boys who were specially invited as backgrounds were wearing cool clothes and walked around the beach. Some people held surfboards in their hands, regardless of whether it was really suitable for surfing. Anyway, the audience felt that this place was the beach in the United States.

Qin Jingjing and the little girl were both barefoot. Qin Jingjing rolled up her trouser legs and wore a gray cotton T-shirt on her upper body, a coat on one shoulder, and the other hand was holding the little girl. The little girl simply had shorts, but she was wearing a coat on her upper body, and she was still holding a kite in her arms.

The two of them walked hand in hand on the beach and gradually walked into the camera.

"Anna, do you like this place?"

"I like it! Are we here to stay here during the summer vacation, okay?"

"Okay!" Qin Jingjing replied with a smile. She looked around, looking leisurely and fascinated. "We can move a stool tonight, sit on the beach, and enjoy the cool of the Atlantic Ocean."

The little girl Anna kept looking up at her and said, "I used to know a friend, and this is his greatest wish. He also wanted to open a restaurant here, which was called sampan."

The little girl frowned, "sampan?"

Qin Jingjing nodded, "sampan."

The little girl seemed to have no idea what the name meant. After taking a few more steps, she suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the distance ahead and asked, "Sister, is it like the room over there?"

Qin Jingjing smiled, turned her head, and her smile quickly stopped. Then, the expression on her face changed rapidly, from shock to surprise, and then to a calm smile.

This is a mid-shot. In other words, when Qin Jingjing and the little girl who plays Anna appear in the camera, they only take the upper body. Behind them, the one that occupies more of the entire camera is the wave sweeping up in the Atlantic Ocean. Theoretically, such shots are mainly narrative, and the actors in such shots mainly express the plot and push the story forward.

There are only single close-ups, especially facial close-ups or upper body close-ups, and especially when such close-ups are given for a long time, it is often time for a drama to advance the emotions of a drama to a critical moment, or when it is time to make a turning point and make a great breakthrough. In such a close-up, the focus of the entire picture is on the actor's face. This is the time to really test the actor's acting skills.

But Qin Jingjing is not.

Even in such a mid-shot, her face appears on the screen, and the proportion of the picture occupied is very small, but she still easily occupies the absolute focus of the entire shot. The expression on her face changes subtly and vividly, expressing the emotional transformation that Lu Lingxi asks her to have at this moment to the fullest.

This is the absolute performance skills of an actor.

Even if it's just a mid-shot, it will still give you a lot of expression scenes.

"Crack!" After Lu Lingxi finished shouting, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's over!"

Standing behind her, Li Qian smiled.

He knew what she was hesitating about.

Qin Jingjing's performance just now was great, but in this drama, she still seemed a little too strong. Although she filmed first, this scene was actually the plot of the last few minutes in the whole movie. Next, the male protagonist, the bow squad, stood at the entrance of the "sampan" restaurant and invited the heroine Li Qi to come in. It was already the last scene of the whole movie.

At the end of the whole movie, Qin Jingjing's performance was a little too much, of course it was not impossible. In fact, she just tried to get a little too much, which was not serious. When the play was screened on the big screen, all the shots passed by. The audience actually had no time to carefully distinguish whether the performance of the heroine in this shot was a bit too much. But for Lu Lingxi, the performance was really between "barely available" and "it seems to be a little bit meaningful."

However, it was too cold and the wind was not small. She was really afraid that the two actors would not be able to withstand it.

After she shouted "It's over", a large group of actors on the beach immediately ran over one by one. Fortunately, the two main actors were the ones. The American young men in charge of serving as background heard the drama business shouting "It's over" loudly in English, and rushed back quickly and quickly put on the thick cotton jacket.

Qin Jingjing took the little girl's hand and ran back together. The crew quickly walked up to her and put on the cotton jacket. The little girl's mother simply wrapped her daughter with a thick cotton jacket and picked her up. But the little girl struggled away, jumped to the ground, and ran over here.

"Wow!"

She ran to Li Qian, widened her eyes, and said in a slightly crappy and awkward Chinese dialect: "Hello Li Qian, my name is Anna, and my Chinese name is Liu Na... You are actually better looking than in the photos and in the MV!"

Li Qian smiled, bent down slightly to shake hands with her, and said, "Thank you. Hello Hannah!"

This little girl is Chinese, eleven years old this year, and immigrated four years ago. Lu Lingxi ran to the United States in advance. Du Yihua issued auditions for many characters through the channels of Oriental Dream Film Company. Regarding the role of Anna, a Chinese girl, who will appear in the play, Lu Lingxi finally chose this "Anna".

Of course, she is a fan and movie fan of Li Qian.

Moreover, her mother is also a fan of Li Qian and a movie fan.

Her mother then chased her and wrapped her thick cotton jacket. When she looked at Li Qian, the excitement in her eyes was not less than that in her daughter. She said excitedly: "Hello, Mr. Qian, can we take a photo with you?"

Li Qian smiled and nodded, "Of course, of course!"

So she quickly took out the camera from her bag, then took the cotton jacket she handed over to her daughter again.

First, Li Qian and Little Anna took a photo, then the three of them took a photo. Finally, she expressed her desire to take a photo with Li Qian alone. When the photo was taken, the mother and daughter were very happy.

In the next shooting, Anna certainly has many scenes, but today when she was filming by the beach, she only had this scene. However, after the photo, the two of them seemed to have discussed something in a low voice, and then stayed.

At this time, Qin Jingjing wrapped herself in a cotton jacket and kept shivering, saying, "It's so cold!"

He asked Li Qian again, "Is it that cold in New York just November?"

Actually, Li Qian doesn’t understand either. He doesn’t live in New York all year round, but he still replied: “Maybe it’s mainly because of the seaside relationship? I haven’t felt that cold in the city these two days.”

Qin Jingjing nodded quickly.

The staff took the hot water cup and handed it over, and she hurriedly held it in her hand.

At this time, Lu Lingxi had already watched the replay, stood up and said, "It's okay. Jingjing is still an old problem and has too strong force. How long have you been holding it in? You have no show to act, so as to keep it here for me? Let's relax, do you know?"

Qin Jingjing shivered and nodded.

Lu Lingxi then turned her head and looked at Li Qian up and down, "After shaving, she is really much more handsome. That's... Hey, Jingjing, do you think that he is actually quite handsome with some stubble?"

Qin Jingjing turned her head and noticed that Li Qian had shaved her beard. She was so handsome that she was wearing formal clothes. She was so handsome that she was so handsome. She lit up at the time, and she nodded subconsciously, saying, "It's very handsome!" Then she shook her head, "I mean he is very handsome in formal clothes like this now!"

But for a moment, she shook her head again, "What you said makes sense. He felt a little vicissitudes when he grows a beard, a little... not very serious, and he felt more handsome than he is now!"

Her viewpoint changed three times in a while, and Lu Lingxi laughed.

She turned her head and asked Li Qian, "Do you think Jingjing has become much cheerful since we started playing cards? She probably wouldn't praise you for being handsome in front of so many people!"

Li Qian smiled and shook his head, "Okay, you two, don't always talk to me!"

Lu Lingxi and Qin Jingjing both smiled.

Lu Lingxi quickly passed by and directed the crew to transfer positions. So a large group of people moved to the wooden pier and Qin Jingjing's eyes subconsciously floated over.

When the crew had arranged the trestle, Qin Jingjing seemed to have gradually warmed up, so she took the initiative to say to Lu Lingxi: "Let's take a shot. I'm fine."

Lu Lingxi nodded and turned to look at Li Qian.

Li Qian immediately took off his cotton jacket and handed it to the staff around him, saying, "I can do it anytime."

Lu Lingxi immediately said, "Okay, Li Qian, you are more familiar with the script than me, go there!"

So Li Qian walked to the entrance of the restaurant with the "sampan" sign hanging and stood still.

This is a reunion and the finale of "Fairy Tales of Autumn".
