Chapter 416
Chapter 416
It is very common in the industry to change the plot and lines during filming.
Sometimes the director gets a burst of inspiration while filming; sometimes the actors get so into the role that they add impromptu lines during filming, creating classic shots.
Lu Qingfeng knew that in his previous life, there was a famous director who liked to wear sunglasses and wrote the script while filming. It took him several years to shoot a movie. In the process of filming, he dragged the investors into bankruptcy. It was really unique.
Therefore, when Lu Qingfeng suggested changing the ending, not many people paid attention.
Because the plot is different, the scenery, movement, and camera positions all need to be changed. Of course, all of these have a prerequisite, which is that the script must be completed first.
The format of a script is different from that of a novel.
Lu Qingfeng had only written for the school film club when he was in high school. Since he was a student, his writing was definitely not very professional.
There is no movie script in the Nine-Tailed Fox's memory bank, nor even any images of this movie. He can only write based on his remaining memories.
There wasn't much pressure, after all, I had been reading and studying, and it was just a short plot in the last few minutes, not very difficult.
The screenwriter will also assist in making some changes to the lines.
Writing scripts for movies and TV shows is really not that easy. Take the dialogues for example. In order to match the personality traits of each character, everything needs to be arranged exactly what each character should say in a group drama.
If it’s not handled properly, the character will collapse, which will be uncomfortable for the audience to watch.
With the original memory as a reference, Lu Qingfeng finished the work quickly. It took him less than a quarter of an hour to write the ending script and gave it to Wei Ze.
The director looked at it carefully and didn't say whether it was good or bad, he just said.
"Excuse me, Mr. Lu, let's take a try first."
Then ask someone to make several copies of the script and distribute them to the actors so that they can familiarize themselves with it.
I took a pen and paper to draw the storyboard.
This is to put the text into specific pictures. We all know that whether it is a movie or a TV, it is a picture made up of one shot after another edited and connected together.
As for what this shot should look like specifically, the director needs to imagine it in his mind after reading the script, and then decide how to shoot it and from what angle... These are the roles of storyboards.
Lu Qingfeng stepped aside and found Liu Xin and the other two who were gathered together.
They also starred in this movie as supporting roles, and because of the wedding scene, their hair was combed like adults.
"Finished? What did you change it to?"
Liu Xin asked him.
"You'll know when you see it."
Lu Qingfeng replied.
The crew also moved quickly. After director Wei Ze drew the storyboard, he began to arrange new camera positions, and the assistant director arranged the positions of all the actors.
Lu Qingfeng and the others are in the foreground, behind the main actors, and can be seen as the background.
Before it officially started, the male lead Yu Jianghang turned around and talked to him.
"Student Lu, I haven't offended you, why are you arranging such a scene for me?"
The heroine Ning Yi was smiling secretly in her white wedding dress, and the actor who played Shen Jiayi's husband was also smiling.
“Aren’t there benefits later?”
Lu Qingfeng said with a smile, Yu Hangjiang couldn't help laughing, and Ning Yi glared at him.
In fact, these people are not really dissatisfied. Acting is a profession that requires a strong sense of belief. Because they play other people, all their actions must follow the role.
Kissing scenes are commonplace, and you can't just not act because you can't accept it.
So, I just wanted to find a topic to talk about.
As we were talking, the crew had finished getting ready and started filming.
There are eight main characters in this play, including Ko Ching-teng and his four high school friends who had a crush on Shen Jiayi, the heroine Shen Jiayi and her best friend, and the groom.
First, there is a panoramic view that includes everyone, and then the camera cuts to the three friends standing with the groom.
One of them put his arm around the groom's shoulders and began to speak his lines.
"Brother groom, let's discuss this."
The groom asked, "What are you discussing?"
"We have so many red envelopes, and I want to kiss the bride. Is that possible?"
The groom replied: "If the bride says yes, I have no objection."
Everyone turned their eyes to Shen Jiayi.
Shen Jiayi seemed to think about it for a moment and replied, "Okay!"
The high school classmates who came to the wedding cheered, and then the groom added a sentence.
"You can kiss the bride, but you have to kiss me first the same way you kiss the bride."
What follows is the most classic shot in the entire movie.
Ko Ching-teng, who was standing at the very edge, suddenly rushed over, held the groom's face with both hands, and kissed him.
Because of her overly passionate emotions, she pushed the groom to stumble backwards, until the two of them finally fell on a table.
The camera mainly focuses on several actors who have surprised expressions as required by the script, while Liu Xin and Lu Hui in the background are really stunned.
"Ka, this one passed."
The shots were taken in sections, and when the scene was over, director Wei Ze called for a stop.
Over there, Yu Jianghang and the groom actor stood up and wiped their mouths, while Liu Xin said to Lu Qingfeng.
"Damn, how did you come up with this plot? It looks so good..."
Having not read the book and not knowing the previous story, it was difficult for him to accept that two grown men were so close.
“I think this arrangement is good.”
Hou Xiaobing said.
"In the book, these two people actually like each other and know each other's feelings, but Ko Ching-teng is too timid when facing the girl he likes. Even after confessing his feelings, he was afraid that Shen Jiayi's response would not be what he wanted, so he rejected her response and wanted to wait until Shen Jiayi liked him more before getting her response."
"So during college, he used very childish methods to gain Shen Jiayi's attention, but Shen Jiayi didn't understand these methods, and the two of them gradually drifted apart."
"Even as an adult, Ko Ching-teng still can't let go of Shen Jiayi."
"Just now, compared to other students who treated the groom's words as a joke, Ko Ching-teng chose to rush forward. The impact was very strong."
Liu Xin scratched his head.
"You read this novel."
Hou Xiaobing nodded.
Lu Qingfeng watched the two people chatting with a smile.
When he watched the movie, he also felt that the last part had the strongest emotional impact.
The beauty of first love, the regrets of youth, the unrequited love, and the difficult-to-let-go emotions are all vividly interpreted by Ko Ching-teng's actions in this final scene.
This movie can be well summarized by a passage from Shen Jiayi.
Many things in life are futile. But no matter how futile or fruitless they are, no one can erase the significance of a relationship or a memory in a person's life.
"Student Lu, come over here and take a look."
Came the director's voice.
Lu Qingfeng went over and watched the filmed footage with him. After a brief discussion, he added some lines and dialogues before filming it again.
The filming of movies and TV series is actually not very time-consuming. Even if there are NGs, it only takes a few minutes.
Constantly adjusting the camera position, scenery, and movement is the most tiring part, and most of the time is spent waiting.
Lu Qingfeng only had a cameo appearance, with less than five minutes of screen time in total, and it took almost two days to finish.
On the day the filming was completed, Wei Ze specially set up a table and invited the main actors and staff of the crew.
At the table, they discussed the theme song again, and Lu Qingfeng naturally agreed.
The next morning, he said goodbye to Liu Xin and others and flew to Fuso.
