After all the ceremonies were completed, Jiang Hongfei sent Wei Zheng to lead the people to set up the shooting site, and Zhang Changzheng commanded the photography team, lighting team, and recording team to unpack their own equipment.

After doing all this, Jiang Hongfei sent his assistant director Yao Tengteng (a student in the directing department of Communication University, after Dai Xinxin went to work as a producer, he couldn't take care of the work of assistant director, so Jiang Hongfei recruited another assistant director) to call the actors in.

The biggest actor in "Heart Labyrinth" is Li Jian.

And Li Jian is a good actor who is both virtuous and artistic, he arrived half an hour earlier than Jiang Hongfei, and then began to put on makeup, and after Jiang Hongfei arrived on the set, Li Jian was all ready.

Li Jian's style made a group of young actors complain again.

Jiang Hongfei didn't care, and announced directly, because the weather was getting colder and colder, there was not much time left for them, and from tomorrow, all the actors would arrive at the scene half an hour in advance to put on makeup.

No matter what the expressions and thoughts of the actors are, Jiang Hongfei will go to do something else after announcing this decision - Jiang Hongfei doesn't want to be a director who is used to being an actor anymore, and those uncles who use "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, six, five, three, two, one" in the future generations to deal with it, sorry, he Jiang Hongfei will definitely not need any in his life.

After more than 100 years of development, the film already has a set of fixed processes, and Jiang Hongfei, who has been working as an executive director and assistant director in the crew for more than ten years in his last life, is very familiar with this process.

Specifically, the shooting of the film can be divided into five steps, positioning, lighting, rehearsal, fine-tuning, and shooting.

The so-called positioning is that the actor simply plays the content of the scene roughly, so as to determine the position of the actor in the performance process and the actions of the characters.

Only by determining the actor's position, the photographer can finally determine the camera position, scenic spot and movement method according to the actor's performance area, and then determine the starting and falling frames, as well as the focal length and high and low position of the lens, etc.; at the same time, the lighting engineer can determine the light position in the performance area at all, so as to arrange the lighting; and the art can also set the scene according to the position of the performance area.

When the actors entered the performance area, the lighting, photography, art, and boom crew all began to cooperate with the actors according to Jiang Hongfei's instructions in advance.

Under Jiang Hongfei's guidance and correction, Li Jian, Zhao E, and Wang also walked twice to determine the area of the performance.

According to the actor's final position, Yao Tengteng put adhesive tape on the ground and marked it - this is a reminder for the actor, so that the actor will not walk outside the camera while acting.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jian, Zhao E, and Wang also left the performance area, and Jiang Hongfei personally led the camera crew to place the camera, lay out the track, rehearse the movement, and cooperate with the lighting team to start lighting - Jiang Hongfei still failed to find a good photographer, and he was in a hurry to start the camera, no way, Jiang Hongfei could only return to his old business and serve as a photographer himself.

In fact, when Jiang Hongfei first made the decision to be a photographer himself, everyone thought Jiang Hongfei was joking.

You must know that not everyone can be a photographer, it requires systematic learning and rich experience.

Therefore, everyone agreed that it was impossible for Jiang Hongfei to be a cinematographer, especially when he was also a director.

Fan Bing bluntly persuaded Jiang Hongfei: "Hongfei, you must not be reckless, otherwise, let's push it back for a few more days, right?"

Jiang Hongfei shook his head and said, "I want to push, but time doesn't allow us to slow down." ”

Jiang Hongfei explained: "It's already mid-November, and it's cold when the weather is cold, and after a while, people may not be able to stretch out their hands, so they have to use two days as one day, and the time is not right, after all, our movie is about "burning wasteland", and the time can't be too bad.

The key is that if you push it again, our movie may not be able to catch up with the schedule you set with your brother company before, and if it snows, it will inevitably be completely impossible to shoot this year.

So, we have to hurry.

Don't worry, I've been playing with cameras since I was a kid and I've read a lot of books about photographers, and there's no problem. ”

Fan Bing and Jiang Hongfei said it first, and the crew Jiang Hongfei was right, not to mention that Jiang Hongfei was also telling the truth, so Jiang Hongfei insisted, and Fan Bing had no choice.

Of course, Jiang Hongfei is not reckless.

First of all, Jiang Hongfei, who was also a quasi-first-class photographer, really has this strength, especially in this period, with his photography technology leading this era, he can definitely squeeze close to the ranks of first-class photographers in this era.

The key is that Jiang Hongfei was really forced to come here and had to go into battle in person.

In order to ensure that photography was not delayed, Jiang Hongfei invited four second-rate photographers to be his photographic assistants, and also found a person who had studied photography for each of the four photographic assistants to be their assistant, so as to form a photography group of nearly ten people.

Seeing Jiang Hongfei's command, Fan Bing and the others, who had been watching from the sidelines, were relieved.

Fan Bing thought to himself: "This stinky boy is not bragging, he really knows photography, but where did he learn it?"

Film lighting is a very complex process, you need a light meter to measure the brightness of the light, but also need to measure the color temperature of the light, only the parameters of the light are accurate to shoot the best picture, therefore, the lighting is the slowest of all departments, the most time-consuming, under normal conditions it takes about 45 minutes to arrange a panorama, and it takes 15 minutes to arrange a close-up.

The lighting engineer Jiang Hongfei is looking for (in fact, Zhang Changzheng is looking for) is Jiang Hongfei's senior brother Sha Lan, and he is even Zhang Changzheng's senior brother - he graduated from the stage lighting design major of the eighth and ninth stage art department of the Modu Drama Academy.

Three years ago, Sha Lan had already established his own company and served as the chairman and chief designer.

Sha Lan is very famous in the lighting industry, and the lighting for many grand events in China is designed by him, and he came over this time to help Zhang Changzheng support the field, he plans to let his apprentice take over when Jiang Hongfei is on the right path here, in other words, he doesn't plan to stay in the team leader of "Heart Labyrinth" at all.

Under the command of Wei Zheng and Zhang Changzheng, the recording assistant began to install wireless microphones for the actors with lines, and the artists and photographers worked with the photographer to clean up the venue and arrange the props according to the range seen by the camera.

After instructing the camera crew, Jiang Hongfei began to analyze in detail the motivations, psychological states and performance requirements of the characters in this scene for Li Jian, Zhao E, and Wang Ye, which is what is usually called a play.

When everything was ready, the actors returned to the performance area, and Jiang Hongfei began to guide the actors to rehearse in the performance area.

At this time, the rehearsal is mainly to adjust the details of the performance, and explain what emotions, eyes, expressions, and tones the actor will use in the next scene or shot to perform.

Most directors will make clear performance requirements or tell the actors about the real state of the character.

Some directors who are actors will not give the actors too many rules and regulations and let them play freely.

And a very small number of directors who are particularly good at directing actors' performances will directly make demonstration suggestions.

As soon as the camera was turned on, Jiang Hongfei didn't want to work too hard, so the first time, he only talked about his own requirements, and did not give the actor too many rules, ready to let him play freely......
