Chapter 872: The happiness of the poor
Chapter 872 Happiness of the Poor
"Director Chen, can you take a look at the setting of the scene here?" The deputy director walked over quickly and talked with Chen Mubai in a low voice.
The scenes to be shot in the following scene are arranged in accordance with Chen Mubai's requirements. The prop set has been arranged and is waiting for Chen Mubai's acceptance. If something is not satisfactory, we will need to modify it.
"Well, I'll go take a look." Chen Mubai nodded.
"Kage, you follow your uncles and aunts, let them dress you up, change your clothes later, I'm going to do other things now, you have to be obedient~"
Chen Mubai did not leave directly, but before leaving, he communicated with the kid, Keqi, in a soft voice.
"I'll be obedient, uncle!" Cage nodded his little head, a happy smile filled the corners of his mouth.
He has made many commercials, but this is the first time I have come to the crew. Seeing so many people, I can’t help but feel a little scared. After all, he is still a child.
But soon, a young and handsome big brother came to talk to him and play with him, which made him relax a lot. Now he is not as nervous as when he first arrived.
The two are getting along, and they have a lot of close relationships. Cage learned in the chat that he is Chen Mubai and the director. He is the person with the most rights in the crew and his "dad"!
"Thank you, Director Chen, for taking care of Cage." Cage's mother greeted him and talked to Chen Mubai with a smile on her face.
With Chen Mubai’s current fame, who doesn’t know him?
When she learned that her son Cage was selected by Mubai Entertainment to appear in Chen Mubai’s new work, she was very happy.
For a long time, her son has only been in the advertising industry, occasionally being able to pick up the endorsement of small advertisements, or model children's clothing, and could not appear in film and television works at all.
And this time, being selected for Chen Mubai’s work is foreseeable, and it will definitely increase Cage’s popularity, and it is not impossible to even enter the film and television industry!
Chen Mubai is not a small director himself. He is very famous even in the United States. He is a well-known director who can star in his works and play his son. It is said that he has a lot of roles. For Cage, it is definitely An opportunity to reach the sky in one step!
"It's okay, you accompany him more, and the shooting will start soon." Chen Mubai smiled.
"I will. Tell me if you have any questions. I will tell him and let him do his best to meet your requirements."
"You just need to let him relax, don't put pressure on him, don't let him get tense, natural mentality is the most important thing."
"Hmm!" Cage's mother nodded.
Chen Mubai followed the deputy director to check the layout of the scene.
Children like Cage come to the crew, usually accompanied by their parents, because various accidents happen during the filming process. Children are not like adults, and sometimes they are not easy to control.
Parents are around to take good care of them, and through the instructions given by the director, to tell the children what to do. In the final analysis, it is a bridge between the child and the director, and can also take care of them better.
For children, the effect of communicating with a stranger is definitely not as good as communicating with their parents. Parents’ companionship will also make them more at ease.
Cage’s life is also a bit tortuous. He is of mixed Chinese ethnicity. His father is American and his mother is Chinese.
However, his father died in an accident. He is now in a single-parent family, and his mother is raising him alone.
Fortunately, during his lifetime, he had always liked PO photos on social platforms and shared a good life. Because of his cute appearance, Cage slowly accumulated some fans, and then some advertisements came to the door to allow them to make money.
Because of this, Cage’s mother has been taking him with him to ensure daily living expenses.
Originally, Cage’s mother was still working and raising him, but as Cage’s reputation increased and she was able to earn more money, she quit her original job and took him intently, so that she could concentrate on training Cage and also be able to Take care of him better.
Originally, when Mubai Entertainment recruited mixed-blood child stars, she signed up with the mentality of trying, but she did not expect to pass the screening eventually, which is also a great fortune!
Chen Mubai had obtained Cage's information a long time ago, and he also knew his life background, so he was so friendly to him when they first came to the crew.
The main reason is that the child’s life experience is a bit pitiful. In addition, the two originally starred in this drama as a father and son, so dealing with him before filming can also deepen the close relationship between each other. At that time, they will be filming. At that time, the two can have a better understanding.
Children are different from adults. Their acting skills are actually more difficult to control. If you have a good relationship with him and can inadvertently follow your nature when shooting, then it is very important to have a good relationship in advance.
If the interpretation before and after the camera is the same, there will be no difficulty in the interpretation of the relationship between father and son.
Originally, Cage was very cute, and Chen Mubai was very fond of children, so the affection and tenderness for Cage was not artificial, but a love from the bottom of my heart, so I would play with him and talk to him.
After Chen Mubai left, Cage’s mother sat next to Cage and stroked Cage’s head and whispered softly: “Cage, don’t be nervous, just follow Uncle Chen’s words just now.”
"I know, I will listen to Uncle Chen!" Cage said with a milky voice: "Uncle Chen is very gentle, not irritable at all, and treats me very well. I like him very much~"
Cage has shot a lot of commercials. Some people are really impatient and even fierce. Therefore, the first time he saw so many people in the crew, he would be nervous, for fear of not doing well and attracting scolding.
"Yes, so we can't let him down, right?"
"Correct!"
"action!"
All the preparations are in place, Chen Mubai and Cage have also changed into costumes, the rest of the staff have been in place, and the extras have also stood up in advance.
"I will make a list now!"
"what are you saying?"
"Do you want a birthday present?"
"Correct!"
An immature child's voice sounded first, followed by a generous middle-aged voice.
Obviously, these are two people talking.
Camera recording also did not record the faces of the two people at the beginning, but first started shooting from the ground, and then slowly moved from the feet and legs to the faces.
At this time, I can see the two people who are talking clearly.
Chen Mubai was wearing an old suit, carrying a work bag on his shoulder, carrying a box in his hand, and holding a child in his other hand.
The child looks very cute. He is a mixed-race child. He has black hair, like a small pot cover on his head, and shiny black hair.
Wearing the same worn trousers and a coat, carrying a small schoolbag on her back.
The clothes of both of them can be seen old, but they are very clean.
It can be seen from the clothing that they are not rich, they are considered poor class.
However, although they have no money, the two talked and laughed, and it was obvious that they were very happy.
This is the happiness of the common people. It is simple and plain. It does not need to be vigorous or drunk.
"Crack!"
This section is a plot of walking from the street across the road to the kindergarten.
"Cage, when you talk to me, don't keep looking at me, and don't watch the scenery on both sides of the road. Just keep looking at the front, and then after crossing the road, you start to throw away my hand and trot. Go over."
"You have to think of me as your father. You know me very well, so you don’t always stare at me when you walk. Then I am sending you to kindergarten. You are used to it, so after crossing the road, you Knowing this, I hurried over immediately."
The first shot was not ideal, and Chen Mubai was teaching Cage how to do it.
After all, Cage is making a movie for the first time, so he is still very nervous.
Although he had already done his thought work before, and Chen Mubai also spent some time with him in advance, which would not make him feel too strange, but when he really started shooting, he was still a little nervous.
This can be seen from his expression and the look in his eyes, he has been staring at Chen Mubai's face, unable to do so naturally.
"Well, I remember." Cage replied somewhat disappointed.
"I still haven't done it well"
He felt that he still disappointed Chen Mubai.
Chen Mubai saw Keqi’s look and knew he was blaming himself. He squatted down and touched Keqi’s head. He smiled and said, "No, this is the first time for you. You have done a great job. Few people can do it again. Ever."
Hearing Chen Mubai’s encouragement, Cage raised his head and asked curiously: "Really?"
"Really." Chen Mubai continued to encourage and smile.
"Come on, let's practice a few more times on the side, and we will shoot again when you are familiar with it."
Chen Mubai took Cage to the side, and slowly led him to adapt.
The main reason lies in Cage’s emotional problems with Chen Mubai. He certainly can’t immediately regard Chen Mubai as his father, so he won’t feel like a father and son.
However, Chen Mubai believes that as the time spent with Cage gets longer, he can also give Cage this sense of belonging. With that sense of belonging, the scenes will be much easier to shoot.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, so the shooting will be more difficult at the beginning. Just get through the beginning.
Chen Mubai was rehearsing with Cage next to him, appearing very patient.
When Cage has been able to communicate with Chen Mubai very happily, they will continue to work on filming.
There are a lot of scenes on this section of the street. These days, you need to be stationed here to film first, and all the plots here are filmed.
A few days of shooting, Cage has become more and more proficient. Although sometimes he may forget his words and inadvertently look at the camera for help, the number of this problem is getting fewer and fewer, and his mistakes are also decreasing.
However, the relationship between him and Chen Mubai became more and more harmonious. He regarded Chen Mubai as an elder who loved him very much. The relationship between the two became closer and closer, which also made the relationship between them better and the emotions revealed in photographs. More real.
Although it is not a true father-son relationship, the child's sense of dependence on adults can be seen, and the feeling of dependence on the camera feels like the child's feelings for the father.
This is also a way to shape and replace alternative feelings.
Children have a natural sense of dependence on their relatives. This is actually a kind of fetters of family affection. If it is shown in the movie, it is the so-called "father's love."
The relationship between father and son, the child is too young, and more of it is shown as dependence. The father’s love is performed by Chen Mubai. If it is handed to him, it will be much easier, at least much easier than a child acting.
