Chapter 785: A Change in Thinking
The filming of TV series is actually very knowledgeable.
Although Zhao Fusheng is similar to a mascot in the crew most of the time, he still learned a lot.
For example, in a TV series, the lighting is very patterned, and different scenes have their correct lighting routines, so the gaffer and his assistants will complete the work quickly, and the director and cinematographer will not be picky, only occasionally adjust the lighting angle according to the actors. In addition, the camera has three cameras, and the front and back are close-up and a panorama, because the TV series has a large number of lines, this shooting mode is very efficient.
It's just that in Zhao Fusheng's view, the patterned performance of TV dramas determines that TV series can only rely on the plot to attract audiences. Therefore, as long as the performance is clear and intuitive, there are several ways to cry and achieve several kinds of information transmission, and laughter is the same, in line with the character. In this way, the TV series audience can quickly receive emotional information based on these familiar performances while mopping the floor, so as to get a coherent storyline.
As a producer, it is necessary to be clear how many things the crew will use in a day.
Zhao Fusheng has always felt that filming TV series and movies should be similar to filming, Lou Ye didn't have nothing to do with the crew when he filmed "Suzhou River", but now I know that under normal circumstances, about two to three episodes can be filmed a week, and in the case of high-quality TV series, sometimes only one episode can be filmed a week.
Of course, "Conquest" is actually a masterpiece, but at this time, no one knows about it.
"How is it, do you think that the filming of TV series is actually very boring?"
During the break on the set, Gao Qun sat next to Zhao Fusheng and said to him with a smile.
Zhao Fusheng smiled: "It's not bad, but I didn't expect that an episode of an hour-long TV series would take so long." ”
He said this in his heart, before coming here, Zhao Fusheng never thought that the filming process of a TV series would be so complicated.
It's like every one of us has eaten the delicious food in the restaurant, but if you really let people actually do it, few of us dare to say that we can definitely make it.
It's normal to know that it's hard to do.
"That's pretty good. Hearing Zhao Fusheng's words, Gao Qun smiled bitterly, sighed and said: "There are no big-name actors here, and the atmosphere of the crew is also good, do you know that when I used to film, it was much more difficult than this." ”
Maybe it's because the filming has been going well recently, or because Zhao Fusheng has a good impression on himself, all in all, Gao Qun, who has never talked much, simply pulled Zhao Fusheng to complain about the bitterness.
According to him, actors generally take the most in the entire budget of TV dramas, so producers and actors often bargain to ensure that an actor is finished first or an actor's scene is filmed within 20 days, so as to invite more rated stars with the least money. Moreover, the general actors are filming in turns, their physical fitness can be persistent, and the staff will have less rest time every day, if the actors sacrifice their rest time to shoot, then the staff will have to give up rest, at most I heard about three days and three nights.
"In this way, making a movie is a little more difficult than making a TV series?" Zhao Fusheng thought for a while and recalled an article he had read on the Internet, which said that the process of making a movie was relatively difficult compared to a TV series.
When Gao Qun heard Zhao Fusheng's question, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed and shook his head gently: "This matter, in fact, it depends on how to understand it, for example, in movies, a good crew gaffer has a higher artistic accomplishment, even if he doesn't, the photographer will definitely have and direct the lighting to create his picture."
There is a big difference between the on-site lighting and the TV series, this is related to the camera, the TV series lighting has to take care of three cameras, and often the lighting effect of which camera is not the most ideal.
Movies have storyboard scripts, and single-camera shooting is sometimes more efficient, because all departments concentrate on making a picture, and the director says, after that, the shot will basically be left on the editing table in the post-production, and the TV series will have at least half of the single shot cut. ”
Zhao Fusheng was silent, he really didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns.
It is said that laymen look at the excitement, and insiders look at the doorway, even Zhao Fusheng himself never thought that there was such a subtle difference between the two things that were similar in his eyes.
It is not an exaggeration to say that if Gao Qunshu hadn't said this to him on a whim today, Zhao Fusheng might not have known that there was such a difference.
"How about it, are you interested in developing in this industry?" Gao Qunshu smiled and invited Zhao Fusheng.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Fusheng smiled, but shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not suitable for this industry." ”
What he said was the truth, from beginning to end, Zhao Fusheng had no interest in film and television, not despised, but definitely not appreciated, for him, this was just a channel to make money.
He is not Jiang Wen's literary middle-aged, for Zhao Fusheng, as long as he makes money, whether it is a movie or a TV series, it is actually the same.
"Look at you, you are a screenwriter yourself, and you can also attract investment, as for the crew, it is not a problem, what a good condition. Gao Qun obviously didn't give up, and continued to encourage Zhao Fusheng.
Zhao Fusheng shook his head and smiled, he didn't explain anything, he couldn't tell Gao Qun that he couldn't look at the speed at which the film and television industry made money.
Seeing that Zhao Fusheng was really not interested, Gao Qun had to dispel his unrealistic idea, and it happened that the assistant director came to inform him to film in the past, and the topic between the two of them was over.
Sitting in the corner of the set, Zhao Fusheng silently watched the busy crew.
It is said that movement is life, and light and shadow are the soul. How the camera moves and how the actors move requires repeated rehearsals and run-ins. In terms of lighting, where is the performance area, the lighting should be made more detailed, and the panorama should also consider the level of shadow tone, and it takes the most time to block the soft and soft anti-back. A lot of times, arriving at the scene at 7 a.m. and maybe not having finished the first shot at 10 a.m.
However, no one complained, and everyone was serious about their own business.
"You just don't understand the industry. ”
In the evening, Zhao Fusheng and Jiang Wen called and told them what they thought, but they were fiercely ridiculed by the old Jiang.
"Dramas rely on actors, and the same is true for TV dramas, but movies don't rely on actors, but more on the creation of directors, and then you will find that the director repeats everything on the scene, ten times, twenty times, very collapsed, and very admirable, at least it shows that the director has a lot of aura, there are many movies, the director has become a puppet, and he is crushed to death by the actor or photographer, and in the end, the movie has become a piece of, nondescript. Jiang Wen said unceremoniously.
Zhao Fusheng was stunned, he remembered a movie, called "Looking for a Gun", that movie was Lu Chuan's work in Zhao Fusheng's original memory, but the style from the inside out was Jiang Wen's.
It is said that during the filming process, Lu Chuan was simply set aside by Lao Jiang, and he hid and cried by himself angrily.
This may be what Lao Jiang said, nondescript.
"Let me tell you, the performance should be based on the characters and the overall style of the movie, as well as the director's artistic creation, which should be comprehensively experienced and embodied by the actors. Jiang Wen may be in a good mood today, so he simply gave Zhao Fusheng a popularization of film knowledge.
"If you make a movie, you usually shoot 20 shots a day, because the audience's life and aesthetics have accelerated the pace of the movie, 900 shots are no longer in line with the current viewing habits, and 12 to 2,000 have become the mainstream, so if you want to finish shooting in 45 days, it is destined to increase the daily workload and affect the overall quality of the movie. Because the film is every department, and every moment is involved in artistic creation, it is not possible for the actor to come to shoot first in the morning, and then the actress will sit opposite the empty chair in the afternoon and say her lines. ”
Jiang Wen finally concluded: "This industry is much more difficult than you think. ”
Zhao Fusheng rolled his eyes helplessly, he had to admit that Jiang Wen was right, he really underestimated this industry before.
And with Zhao Fusheng's mood, "Conquest" ushered in the finale banquet.
