Chapter Seventy-Nine: Shooting

"Zhao Photography, the first shot later, I hope to have a wide angle to highlight the vastness and vastness of the entire region..."

“... Yes!"

"Actually, I've always believed that film is the art of images, using light and shadow to tell stories... Have you seen Alfonso's Children of Man?"

Zhao Xiaoding shook his head.

Shen Mengxi said: "The story itself has a strong religious connotation, but what impressed me the most was Emmanuel Lubezki's photography, his shots are basically natural light and then color correction in post, and rarely lighting..."

"And Roger Deakins, he created the way of front and back, generally shooting dialogue, the very popular shoulder front and back play, he put the camera in the middle of the two people, from the middle position, with a wide-angle lens, the depth of field is relatively deep, you can see the position and relationship of the characters in the space, and even the body language other than the face can be well displayed. ”

"In this way, using the set, you can better show the psychology of the characters..."

""Painted Skin", we can try it, anyway, this drama will be filmed for at least four months, and several of the main actors have signed four-month contracts, we have time to try, mainly, and money to try!"

Wu Ershan was very excited: "Okay, then let's design a few more scenes and experiment back and forth!"

“... Yes," Shen Mengxi looked at Zhao Xiaoding, and said again: "In addition to the necessary close-ups of the characters in our play, we can use fewer close-ups, try to use as few as possible, I am very disgusted with the current blockbusters, I cut close-ups at every turn, in order to be visually sensational and good-looking, without considering the rationality of composition and plot!"

"So, you want to shoot dialogue scenes with a wide-angle lens. ”

"Hmm..."

Zhao Xiaoding nodded...

After the three of them finished breakfast, they went to the crew together, the start of the film is imminent, the actors are almost there, this scene is Wang Sheng's first acquaintance with Xiao Wei, and then take her home...

Shen Mengxi also saw most of the supporting roles of the crew for the first time!

In a word, the general rule of the director's selection of actors must be in line with the requirements of the role, and their image and temperament should be consistent with the requirements of the character image.

Specific to "Painted Skin", the four protagonists Shen Mengxi came forward to do it, two big supporting roles, the company stuffed one, he asked for one by name, and the rest of the roles were basically handed over to the production team to decide.

It is not yet the time for capital to interfere in creation, and it is not the era of traffic, and most of the actors selected by the production team are based on their previous screen images, for example, Jin Song, Tan Kai, Dong Yong and a martial arts brother played Wang Sheng's garrison corps.

As for the maid group, it's simpler, find a cameo appearance from the students at school, and study with the group...

Shen Mengxi doesn't have to worry about this.

Shen Mengxi has only one requirement, good character!

The crew is a small society, and the producer definitely hopes that every member of the crew will have an attitude of hard work and cooperation.

Actors must participate in the creation of the crew in the spirit of cooperation and concentricity, even if they play a trick, they must also have professionalism!

Everyone hates actors playing big names and being late and absent from work, and no one likes artists who don't respect other people's labor!

If you are not afraid of bad plays, you are afraid of bad people!

It doesn't matter if the drama is worse, we can train it;

If you have a bad character, you can't be saved!

......

In the first shot, Xiao Wei appeared for the first time, and he was not clothed.

The director's idea was to start shooting with her toes, and then shoot the fur that covered her body...

It's aesthetically pleasing.

However, Brother Xun's feet are not very good-looking...

A pair of feet that are not very good-looking affect the visual effect!

Wu Ershan asked Shen Mengxi in a low voice: "Do you want to find a foot model?"

Shen Mengxi was speechless: "Why do you even have to ask me about this? I must go to find it, hurry up, shoot my upper body first!"

Wu Ershan had to adjust the shooting, and first came a shot of the upper body...

Shen Mengxi found the executive producer and asked him to quickly find a foot mold to come over...

It's normal to find a foot model instead, in film and television dramas, the part that generally involves the feet, basically looking for foot models, the most typical "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Zhang Wuji scratches Zhao Min's foot center, and when film and television dramas are filming, they basically find foot models to shoot instead...

The face can be straightened, it can be wrapped, how to fix the feet?

The crew continued filming.

As for Brother Xun's ugly feet, it's normal, Mikami is also very beautiful, and those feet are so good...

Under the camera, Zhou Gongzi hugged the white fur tightly, staring innocently at the men around him...

That look is absolutely amazing!

You don't have to pout, just a look...

Frost girl, learn a little!

The actor who played the leader of the bandit pushed away the men around Zhou Xun: "Get out of the way!"

With the strength of her arms, a princess hugged her directly: "Beauty, haha..."

The man next to him shouted, 'Congratulations to the king!'

Shen Mengxi smiled and turned to leave, he went to see how Chen Kun and the others were preparing...

The actors cooperate, the cinematography is amazing, and the director is attentive...

Basically nothing to worry about!

Speaking of Zhou Gongzi's acting skills, I used to hear a bunch of directors praise her, saying that she 'an actor like Zhou Xun can definitely inspire the director's creation, she is the dream of all directors!'

How did you dream?

Well, in one scene, he knows what kind of dream method he has...

Really, she can give you what you want!

Once you enter the group, you become a character completely!

If it weren't for the scale and the audience's acceptance, Shen Mengxi would have wanted to arrange for the bandit to strip her clothes naked...

......

Out of the tent, Shen Mengxi received a call from Xu Guangtou...

"People in Embarrassment" is about to be filmed.

He asked Shen Mengxi if he wanted to go to Wuhan to see...

"No, I'm very relieved that you can do something, anyway, it's 6 million, not a little more, you can weigh it yourself!"

"I'm staring at Painted Skin over here... Do you want to play a role, maybe you can also abduct Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei to make a cameo appearance in "People in Embarrassment"..."

"It's man-made, you kneel down and beg them, won't moral kidnapping be?"

“... I'll just kid, I've already told SM., Han should have two days, and then you will shoot his scene first... He's so popular, he has millions of followers on the Internet!"

"Hmm... I'll start with... Eh, who is this?"

Shen Mengxi suddenly scanned a somewhat familiar figure...

Dressed in the costume of a maid in "Painted Skin"...

"Xiao Xu, come on..."

Xiao Xu is his assistant, and the official position of "Painted Skin" is a production assistant, and he knows everyone in the crew well.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Shen Mengxi pointed to the figure standing at the mouth of the tent: "... Is that woman's name Zhao Liying?"

“... I'll ask!"

Xiao Xu walked forward very decisively...

At this time, the woman seemed to sense something, turned her head and saw Shen Mengxi, and then quickly ran away...

Round face, big eyes, small head...

Isn't this Zhao Liying!

, who chose this Nima?

Come out, I'll add a chicken leg to you!

"Eh, that..."

"Don't call her, I'm just curious, you go and ask, what do others think I'm going to do!"

Shen Mengxi is quite happy, a "Painted Skin" brings together a bunch of stars in the future...

Barrage ten years later:, Yingbao and Da Mimi are all in this play, amazing!
