Scene scheduling is a professional term for film and television audio-visual, which originated from French, which was originally used as a layout and design on the theatrical stage, and extended to film art to become the expression of visual elements.

Liu Peichuan saw the first scene filmed by the crew, and he could clearly feel what scheduling was.

The start of "The Wolf of Wall Street" was chosen in the most common scene in this drama - the office, and the content of the scene is a carnival in the office.

Why is the style of this play absurd?

This can be seen in the arrangement of the carnival scenes.

Money, community, sexuality, these elements are a bit distorted and crowded in an office where the actual space is not too small.

This carnival scene is the flashpoint that accumulates early in the story, with the protagonist Jordan Belfort trying to join Wall Street, but losing his job due to the "Black Monday" of '87, and then he finds a new way to join a small company that sells junk stocks, and succeeds.

The principle of the protagonist's identification comes from the rules of the game taught by a senior broker of a company on Wall Street - a stockbroker is not Warren Buffett, does not create, except for moving the client's money into his own pocket, everything else is bluffing, and what he seeks is a hot commission.

Belfort succeeded, he was better than the blue, he blew up stocks worth pennies into stocks with extremely investment value, sold first to the poor and then to the rich, and became a shining figure on Wall Street.

The scene to be filmed today is such a group carnival that celebrates extravagantly in the company after success.

On the first day, there were more than 50 cast members on the set, who played the employees of the lead company.

In the first act, the scene is divided into three parts to interpret the carnival, spending $10,000 to shave the hair of a female colleague in public, ** band entering the soundtrack, and strippers storming the office to blow up the audience.

There are a large number of people and the scene is complicated, so ...... The director is a sand sculpture.

There were four photographers in the crew, one of whom was Zhang Yongrui from China, and the other three were Americans from three different companies in Hollywood, and they all complained when they knew that they were going to shoot like this on the first day.

In particular, Zhang Yongrui almost wrote his doubts on the door of his head.

Shooting complex scenes doesn't mean that you just have to set up the camera before you start shooting, you have to move it yourself.

What does the composition look like, and how does it change as the performance progresses?

What is the use of props like, and how do you insert them with the lens?

What is the state of the dragon suit, and can these people with relatively low salaries meet the requirements?

All in all, there are a lot of problems.

However, the crew did not shoot directly when the crew started shooting in the morning, and the director Gan Jing seemed to be aware of the problem, and spent half the day communicating with the executive director, producer, photographer, field manager, and props.

Not only photographer Zhang Yongrui, but also Liu Peichuan, He Yue and Yu Jing all muttered in their hearts, feeling that today's crew may be a small microcosm of this work.

As soon as noon passed, the crew officially started filming, and the actors, actors, cameramen, radio, lighting and others were all in place.

Liu Peichuan waited for the board to play, and also looked at the point monitor, there was no need to shout stop in the middle, we will see the final effect after shooting. Gan Jing gave assistant director Liu Peichuan one last order.

"Good. Liu Peichuan raised the board with some concern.

Gan Jing did not stand behind the monitor in the first scene as his domestic crew is used to, he stood not far from the camera and did not enter the camera, his eyes were blazing.

——Action！

The actor Russell, who plays Jordan Belfort, stands on the company's podium with his arms outstretched in front of the 50 or so performers, and asks proudly, "Did you have a good week?"

There was applause and cheers from the audience.

Russell continued: "We earned $28.7 million in net commissions ......"

Just when the leading actor in the camera said this, Gan Jing calmly commanded: "Camera No. 3 cuts the back of the protagonist, panoramas, and shoots a group performance." ”

The American cinematographer shrugged his shoulders, feeling that this was a little earlier than the cut shot discussed in the morning, but he wisely bowed to the dollar and carried out the instructions from the director.

Although Russell knew that his line voice would not be adopted and would be replaced by a voice actor, he still tried his best to finish and summarize his lines, holding the microphone exaggeratedly, facing the group performers, and pointing to the female subordinate on the bench next to him with his left hand: "Ten thousand dollars in exchange for her shaving her head!"

At this time, Gan Jing immediately commanded: "The No. 2 lens moves horizontally. ”

The second photographer did so.

The supporting actor in the camera is holding a clipper and preparing to shave off a lock of long hair for a female colleague, while the scene reporters outside the camera have reminded the group performers: "Be ready to cheer and shout, and raise your hands up." ”

The supporting character pulls up the long hair of the female colleague, points at the hair with a clipper in her right hand, and shouts around, "Do you want it?

The hands of the group performers were raised according to the reminder of the scene note to set off the atmosphere, and the No. 1 camera gave a small panoramic shot at this time according to the discussion in the morning.

Gan Jing ordered: "Camera No. 2 cuts back to the starring role, give a close-up." Interior view of booth No. 4. Stand 1 is ready to be pulled horizontally. ”

The cinematographers received instructions and slowly dispersed from the director's side.

The leading actor in the camera, Russell, watched as a lock of long hair of a female colleague was pushed off, the microphone in his left hand was pressed to his lips, his whole face trembled with hoarseness, and the spittle star popped out with the voice: "Let's start partying!"

The supporting characters continued to shave their heads, the ensemble cast their papers into the air, some jumped on the table to applaud, and some pulled off their ties and threw them into the air.

Camera No. 1 is horizontally pulled for local shooting, camera No. 2 is aimed at the protagonist Russell from close-up to seven-point portrait, camera No. 3 is ready to welcome the entry of the ** band, and camera No. 4 takes the panoramic view of the studio.

"Props and other bands will be sprinkled with gold-colored paper when they enter the venue, and at the same time, pay attention to the framing at camera No. 4. ”

"Start counting down the strippers. ”

Gan Jing no longer stood still, dodging the camera lens that moved away, and gave new orders to the props and the reporters.

When the ** band entered the office, the gold-colored paper floated from the air, the joy of the ensemble became noisy and crazy, and the actors who had already been ordered began to take off their shirts under the prompting of the attendee.

A few seconds later, the strippers entered the scene, and the camera position changed again with a small amount of Gan Jing's command, and the whole set had become a sea of carnival under the camera.

Liu Peichuan, who was on the side of the monitor, didn't know whether the shot was qualified or not, but he witnessed the whole scene turning from static, watching the photographers disperse under the command of Brother Gan, and seeing the scene reporters avoiding the camera to prompt the group performance that was about to be filmed, and finally understood what Brother Gan said in the morning.

"To make the visual elements flow, that's what the scene scheduling is all about. ”
