Chapter 269: A Director's Addiction
Chen Minhao finally nodded and agreed to shoot on the bus.
After all, judging from the final presentation effect, a performance with a physical object must be better than a performance without a physical object.
After seeing Chen Minhao nodding, Wang Ziqiu immediately smiled and said, "I just told my mother on WeChat, and she replied, she will handle the bus matter tonight." ”
That night, Chen Minhao did another immortal cultivation party and stayed up late to get the script done.
Early the next morning, Chen Minhao checked the script, and after finding no problems, he printed the script into three copies and handed it to the three roommates to see if they had any suggestions.
Luo Jing saw it the fastest, and praised: "This is so well written! Write this character of mine so cheaply, I want to pump myself two big mouths when I see it." ”
Wang Ziqiu frowned, flipped through the simple six-page script back and forth, and said, "Your dialogue is really tense!"
The look of shock on Chaon's face became more and more intense, and there was a little jealousy mixed in it. Chaon was not particularly happy with the assignment of roles, and preferred to play a role with more scenes: the driver or the arguing passenger, rather than the passenger-A.
But yesterday, when Chen Minhao was assigning roles, Chen Minhao arranged himself to the role of a passer-by, which made Xia Ang embarrassed to talk about changing roles.
Therefore, Xia Ang originally planned to write the script seriously by himself and brush up on a wave of existence, but he never expected that Chen Minhao's script would be much better than him.
Xia Ang now feels that he is humiliating himself by taking out his script.
Chen Minhao covered his mouth, yawned, and asked, "Do you have any suggestions and ideas about the script?" ”
After seeing that the three of them shook their heads, Chen Minhao smiled and said, "Okay, let's basically decide." This is roughly the case for the script of our semester comprehensive assessment. Of course, in the process of shooting, if there is something unreasonable, or you have some better ideas, we will make small changes at that time. ”
Wang Ziqiu nodded and said, "Okay, my mother has already finished the bus, we can go to shoot today." ”
Luo Jing smiled and said, "No problem, hug Brother Hao's thigh." Brother Hao acted so well, and he was able to write a script. ”
Chaon asked, "What about the equipment for photography? Shall we rent it? Or should we buy it?"
Wang Ziqiu said: "Of course I bought it." ”
Chen Minhao shook his head and said: "Although this short film is very short, the four of us are all actors who are going to leave the country, so only the four of us will definitely not be able to do it, at least there must be lighting and photography." I called a few new students from the directing department to volunteer with us. ”
As soon as Wang Ziqiu was about to speak, Chen Minhao added slowly: "So don't worry about the equipment, the people in the director department must have the equipment in their hands." ”
Luo Jing sighed and thought to himself: Those students from the directing department must be very happy now, but they don't know that they have been arranged.
Zhang Xiaolong, the freshman squad leader of the directing department, is one of the "volunteers" handpicked by Chen Minhao.
Chen Minhao handed the script to several people to read, and after explaining the general idea and plot of the short film to several students from the directing department, they all thought the idea was great.
But Zhang Xiaolong asked with a little hesitation: "This shooting is a bit difficult, isn't it? The prince wants to drive the bus, and there is a scene of the crash." ”
Zhang Xiaolong looked at Wang Ziqiu and asked, "Do you know how to drive a bus?"
Wang Ziqiu immediately shook his head.
Zhang Xiaolong added: "In this case, it will be very difficult, such a short film is very short, we can't find a stand-in, after all, when the role of the driver quarrels with the passengers, the driver is driving the whole time." ”
Wang Ziqiu, Luo Jing, and Xia Ang looked at each other dumbfounded. They only thought about the process of how to act, but they didn't think about the question of how to shoot at all.
Chen Minhao smiled and said: "Actually, it's not that there is no way to solve it, it's just a little troublesome, we can use the method of keying." The vehicle itself is not moving, but we can make the scenery outside the window in the form of "backwards", which makes it appear that the car is moving forward.
As for Wang Ziqiu, just pretend.
The specific operation is to use a green background cloth on the window of the bus when shooting, and then set the camera on the front hood and the position of the main driver and the attached driver respectively, and shoot separately.
When it was time for compositing and editing, we removed the green part and replaced it with a "backward scene", so that the effect of the shot could be to show that the bus was moving forward. ”
Zhang Xiaolong asked in surprise: "How do you grow your brain, you can think of such a way." ”
Xia Ang said sourly, "He must have filmed similar scenes." ”
Chen Minhao shook his head and said, "No, I saw this shooting method in the library's "Modern Film and Television" magazine a few days ago, but I didn't expect to be able to do it today." ”
Zhang Xiaolong frowned and said, "But we don't know how to cut out pictures and post-production, we will only learn this in the second semester of our sophomore year." ”
Chen Minhao said with a smile: "You should consider it a preview in advance." I'll find someone to do it with you. You don't have to worry too much. Some of the shots of the crash were also mainly done by him. ”
Chen Minhao has never been a director, but he has filmed a few films and has a general understanding of the director's work. The role of the director is not just to shout "card" and "pass", the role of the director is more like the brain of the crew, coordinating the crew.
So although Wang Ziqiu borrowed the bus, Chen Minhao did not plan to shoot directly on the bus.
Chen Minhao plans to play tricks in the room a few times now, and then go to the bus to shoot when they are proficient, so that the efficiency will be higher.
It turns out that Chen Minhao leads a group of recruits, and it is very important to try out the play in advance.
"Wang Ziqiu, your expression is wrong, you can't put all your attention on Luo Jing from the beginning, you have to look at the road!"
"Card, do it all over again. Luo Jing, you weren't hysterical enough. ”
"Ka, Wang Ziqiu, Luo Jing, I don't think you have a good understanding of the script. It is not right that the two of you are in a state of outburst from the first sentence, although you have an argument at the beginning, you are still in a state of relative restraint.
Wang Ziqiu, let me talk about your role first, you have to think like this, you are a bus driver, in many years of your career, you will meet a lot of fools, there are a lot of fools who scold like this, at first, it was just a dull day for you, and you met another fool.
Your attitude at the beginning should be to deal with it, not to show that you want to blow up Luo Jing's dog head at the beginning. ”
