Chapter 12 Directing is a craft (ask for recommendation votes)

"Brother Kong, you don't have to be nervous, just a few lines in total, and you can just stand in this position and say the lines later. ”

Lin Chen explained to Kong Hai, after all, as an amateur who has no acting experience at all, if you don't tell him the range of the position, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome when the filming officially starts!

In fact, anyone who has taken photos understands that you under the lens and you are often two different things!

In the first episode, I almost didn't need to do much makeup, but when Tong Qing came, I still asked the makeup artist to make up the light makeup!

This is because if you want the actor to be the most suitable for the shot, if you don't put on a little light makeup, I'm afraid the effect will be very distorted!

Kong Hai, Tong Qing, Yan Feng, and Zhao Ze The four actors Lin Chen all said in turn, in addition, Lin Chen also specially told the photographer how to show the sense of the lens later!

If the photographer who was in charge of the camera at the beginning was still a little unimpressed with Lin Chen, he was completely convinced after chatting!

"Fatty!"

Watching Lin Chen leave to help the lighting team set up, Xiao Cao, the photographer in charge of the camera, said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that your classmate was a director for the first time?"

Xiao Ming said: "Yes, what's wrong? Xiao Cao, Lao Lin hasn't done it after all, you need to help more!"

"Do yourself a fart!"

Xiao Cao said angrily: "Your classmate is not ordinary, he knows more about photography than me, and he is simply clear, okay, hurry up and help with the set, I think I'm here to come to the right place!"

"Huh?"

The little fat man knows this little Cao very well, although he is not satisfied, but he is also a high-minded and arrogant person, thinking of this, the little fat man looked at Lin Chen and felt unusually shocked!

MMP!

It's all people, why is there such a big gap?

Handsome and talented, how can people live?

"Fatty, come here, move this shelf!"

Just when the little fat man was hit, Lin Chen said loudly next to him!

There must be a certain distance between the shelves, as well as from the glass next to them, to avoid being thrown into shadows, and the position of the lights must be slightly adjusted to prevent shadows from appearing in the camera!

In half an hour, everything was finally laid out!

"Brother Cao, we have to rehearse later, this shot, this, and this must be presented, and the rest is not needed, but remember to give a close-up of Yan Feng's glasses, and add a little special effect to the glasses when you look back. ”

As a director, after Lin Chen finished talking about the expected work of the actors, he needed to discuss with the camera manager which shots were needed and which shots were not!

Everything was ready, Lin Chen smiled: "Cheng, let's take a brief position first, and then make a line!"

Yan Feng stood at the cash register, and the clerk played by Kong Hai stood in front of the computer!

When moving, you need to place a walking sign, which means where the actor stops to speak, and then the direction and end of the next move, which is marked by the camera assistant on the ground with tape and chalk!

"Kong Hai, this is the sign of several of your positions!"

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he turned to look at a few juniors and juniors and said, "You don't need any lines, enter the door from this position, and then go to these two positions to be finished!"

"Yan Feng, wait until you stand in this position, because you saw a little boy, but you have to behave extremely cautiously and weirdly. ”

After Lin Chen finished speaking towards Yan Feng, he turned to Tong Qing and said, "At this time, you need to appear!"

In the crew, Lin Chen's least worrying thing is Tong Qing, after all, he is an old actor, about how to move, what position is the most suitable, and even how to show the best side in front of the camera, this is a piece of cake for Tong Qing!

It took almost two hours just to rehearse!

The more detailed the preparation, the less trouble there will be when shooting!

Directing is a craft, you must be proficient in everything you say!

In these two hours, everyone finally has a deep understanding of their roles, Lin Chen is not afraid of making mistakes in shooting, because only mistakes will be more refined, the preliminary preparations, other amateurs will not talk about it for the time being, Tong Qing, Yan Feng, Zhao Ze Lin Chen must let them know the weight of their respective roles and their understanding of the role!

Of course, if it is in a large crew, the lighting does not need these big stars to try, this is all the work to be done by the stand-in!

Lighting is also a relatively long job!

In particular, it is a night scene to be filmed, which is even more important, and it has been said in the book "Director's Creation Manual" that when there are more than two characters in the scene and there are very complex movement paths, the lighting becomes more and more important!

Although the later story takes place in a convenience store, there are three characters, Doudou, Xia Dongqing, Wang Xiaoya, and four later, and Doudou's mother will also appear!

Under Lin Chen's command, Yan Feng, Kong Hai, Doudou, Doudou Ma, and several dragon sets entered the set one by one, and Xiao Cao relied on the effects displayed at each stage, and then found the most suitable shot!

Finally, you're all set!

"All departments are in place!"

Lin Chen sat in front of the monitor, looking a little excited and a little excited!

On July 7, 2014, at 7:10 p.m., his first work started filming!

The fat man, as the assistant director, said loudly: "Okay, everyone keep quiet, filming begins!"

The clerk held the notebook board in front of the cashier, waiting for instructions!

The fat man received Lin Chen's gesture and said, "The voice begins!"

The mixer on the set turned on the tape recorder, and so did the photographer!

The camera assistant said, "Scene 24, Shot 13, Article 2!"

With a 'snap', the notebook was quickly closed, and the photographer avoided the lens at this time and quickly reached the camera!

Lens position and lens numbering Lin Chen continues to be the most popular method in Hollywood feature films, and the numbering is determined according to the plot of the scene, although this method is applicable to Hollywood-produced high-cost, high-management films, like small-budget ones are often not used!

But Lin Chen wants to develop good habits!

After all, there will always be big productions in the future!

"Let's shoot!"

Lin Chen gave the order to start shooting!

......

"Are you bold?"

Kong Hai looked at Yan Feng and said.

Yan Feng said without raising his head: "Why are you asking me this?"

Kong Hai said: "After twelve o'clock in the evening, it is not clean!"

Suddenly, Xia Dongqing, played by Yan Feng, stopped what he was doing, slowly raised his head and stared at Kong Hai tightly: "What do you mean?"

Kong Hai pretended to be scared and looked around, and then said anxiously: "It's haunted!"

......

When Kong Haigang finished saying this, Lin Chen took the microphone and said, "The dragon is on the field!"

The two couples slammed open the door, and Yan Feng played a clever game at the right time!

At this time, the requirements for the lens are very big, because when filming the two couples on the stage, there is a small detail, that is, Wang Xiaoya also appeared behind the two couples, but Lin Chen ignored it when he watched it for the first time!

I have to say that the crew of the first season of "Soul Ferry" is very conscientious, and it is very reasonable to think about it!

"Hey, hey, it's funny!"

Kong Hai looked at Yan Feng, who was frightened, and said with a smile, there was a sense of satisfaction that the prank had succeeded, he patted Yan Feng and said, "I'm off work, I'll go first!"

......

After the filming of this scene was completed, Lin Chen shouted 'Ka!'!

"How?"

Kong Hai walked over from the side, a little concerned and a little apprehensive: "Director Lin, my role is fine!"

"Hehe, no problem!"

Lin Chen chuckled, as a person acting under the camera for the first time, Kong Hai performed very well, but there were still some shortcomings!

Turning on the monitor, Lin Chen said to Sun Hai: "Brother Kong, look here, when you say, 'I'm off work, I'll go first', your eyes are looking at the camera next to you!"

"Hey!"

Kong Hai patted his head: "Why can't I control this?"

"Normal, let's make up this shot again!"

Lin Chen said softly: "Attention departments, Brother Cao, the main lens is not needed, because the requirements have been met, use the mobile camera to shoot this close-up!"

"Good!"

Xiao Cao was also busy nodding lightly and said!

......

The main difficulty in filming today comes from the role of Doudou, in line with the principle of proximity, the role of Doudou Lin Chen was given to Kong Hai's son Kong Xiang!

Although the little guy is 7 years old, he still often makes a small temperament, and in the first episode, everyone regarded Doudou as a ghost at the beginning, and at this time, thinking about his innocence will look forward to whether there is a reversal?

"Xiaoxiang, is it okay to play a game with my brother?"

Lin Chen had to shout 'card' again, he stopped Kong Hai who wanted to reprimand his son, on the set, the director is absolutely Dinghai Shenpin, you can be angry, because some people you are not angry and they don't have any number in their hearts!

But for children, when you are angry, they don't count it!

Why are there so many bear children?

Kong Xiang looked at Lin Chen and said, "Brother, what kind of game do you say?"

"You stand on the window, your Aunt Tong Qing stands on the window, you compare and make faces, see who is good!"

When he finished speaking, Lin Chen pulled Kong Xiang to the edge of the glass outside, and then made a gesture towards Lao Cao!

Sometimes, when there are uncontrollable factors, or when there is a need to improvise, it is often not necessary to 'start with a clapper'!

Kong Xiang's scene began quietly like this!

The grimace scene he did with Tong Qing was just right!

"Director Lin, it's awesome!"

Lao Cao thought to himself while shooting.

Finally, the filming of these two scenes of Doudou ended smoothly!

Everyone was ready to change the location for filming, but Tong Qing said to Lin Chen: "I have a question for you!"

Lin Chen mistakenly thought that Tong Qing was going to ask himself how he knew so much, he couldn't say that he had crossed over, so Lin Chen waved his hand and smiled: "I usually read a lot of books, so the director's skills are a little bit, I ......"

"Who asked you this!"

Tong Qing interrupted Lin Chen and said, "Why did you ask Kong Xiang to call you brother, but call me aunt, am I so old?"

Lin Chen: "......"

......

Well, sure enough, a woman's brain is irrational at all!
