The film itself is the art of light and shadow, through the processing of light, different shades of light are formed, creating different character moods and time and space atmosphere, so as to create a specific narrative atmosphere, so that the film can achieve the effect of meeting the requirements of character building in a specific situation and the background of the times.

Many directors like to reveal the inner changes of their characters through the change of lighting...

Lu Xiaoran also likes this, and he especially likes the use of light in "The Godfather".

For example, the appearance of the old godfather played by Marlon Brando is very mysterious, he is completely hidden in the shadows, and the audience knows nothing about him.

Even as the film progresses, the audience can finally see his front, but the light on his face is always an underexposed top light, so you can't see his eyes clearly.

In "Border Storm", Feng Enhe played the old criminal, Lu Xiaoran is presented in this way, at first he was lying on the dentist's bed, tilting his head, the audience could never see him clearly, and then when he said his lines, the audience could see him, although it was a close-up, but it would hide his entire face in the shadows...

In fact, this kind of light change can be achieved through manual work, but the sky in Ruili is too clear!

Occasionally, there will be light leakage.

So what to do?

Remake?

It's too much work to remake, just render it in post...

Not all shots need to be rendered, it is about ten minutes of footage, and it is very simple in post-production, and domestic special effects can be done.

Not all special effects are very expensive, like this kind of background rendering, synthetic AE can be done, rendering the model, rendering wireframe, AE as the background, adding masks, at most with some AE particles, you can do it in two weeks.

This is the original words said by the crew's post-production during the preparation stage.

Zhong Lifang may not know much about this, she used to be in the market at Phoenix Satellite TV...

So, simply changed the subject: "What are you two arguing about?"

Lu Xiaoran replied: "... As for me, I want to write Ning Hao's name into the co-director, and when the time comes, it's time to release it, so I can publicize it, he won't do it!"

Ning Hao argued: "For this movie, you wrote the script, you found the actors, and three of the four producers were contacted by you, including the director..."

"Did you lead for a week?"

“... That's your absence!"

"You say, did you participate in directing?"

Ning Hao shut up...

He did work a week's shift...

This kind of guidance is called joint guidance!

When "The 601st Call" was promoted, it was also said that the pants were directed for a day...

"If you think so, you didn't care much about the scene of "Border Storm", but your name was hung in the co-director, what is this? This is the market's recognition of you! Moreover, if you hang the director's name, there will be more red envelopes at that time, and you will not have to repay the mortgage?"

Director Lu patted Ning Hao on the shoulder and said earnestly...

Ning Hao is hard, he has been carrying a mortgage for 25 years!

Unlike Lu Youyou Assistive Xiaoran, he solved the housing problem in Beijing as early as 02.

Another point, the quality of "Border Storm" itself is not bad, otherwise, Xiao Luzi would be embarrassed to pull Ning Hao to help support his own film.

Although Ning Hao was reluctant, he still accepted the honor, and Ya agreed to put his name in front of Lu Xiao, which belonged to the co-director...

Why is Xiao Luzi so dead-faced?

The recent promotion of "The Story of Two Donkeys" made him completely understand one thing - if a movie wants to be a big hit, it must have a good marketing method!

"The Tale of Two Donkeys" itself is not of bad quality, it is definitely a work with a passing score or above, and the jokes in it are also very advanced, why does it not sell well?

It's not because there is no one in the entire main creative lineup who can play!

Not to mention replacing Lu Xiaoran with Uncle Ge, even if Wang Luodan participates, he can also use that wave of bed scenes to hype up, and the scandal will come out all the time, with the popularity of "Struggle", there must be media concern, and there must be media to interview him, and take advantage of the situation to publicize a wave, how good!

It's a pity that Jiao Junyan is not famous at all, and the only information revealed by Du Niang Encyclopedia: a sophomore at Nortel University, Lu Xiaoran's younger sister...

It belongs to the small transparent in the circle...

At this level, let alone falling in love and firing CP, you were beaten by your boyfriend, and few people knew!

Therefore, "Border Storm" needs Ning Hao.

After "Stone", Ning Hao has gathered a group of clusters...

If you can develop this group of crowds into ticket-buying audiences for "Border Storm"...

Tsk, I dare not imagine!

......

Lu Xiaoran returned to the crew and didn't take the initiative to mention "The Story of Two Donkeys", at least no one asked him at the filming site, but when he was resting, this topic was still inevitable.

"Director, ten days after its release, the box office is 6 million, not bad!"

"That's it, the total box office of my "601st Phone" is only 6 million!"

Zhang Guoli smiled bitterly and comforted...

said that "The 601st Call" was released for more than half a month, and the box office was close to 6 million, and then a reporter used "Crazy Stone" to stimulate him, Zhang Guoli was not very good-tempered in those years, and directly burst into the sentence "If Chinese movies are all "Crazy Stone", there is only one dead end!'

Then he was caught by the media and made a fuss about it.

He was probably forced to be anxious, as for whether he would hate Ning Hao because of this?

Anyway, he's now voted for "Racing"...

Lu Xiaoran hurriedly explained: "... No, I just think there's something wrong with my thinking. ”

"What thoughts?"

“... You see, I used to think that the actors in Hong Kong were useless, except for the salary, but now I suddenly feel that they are still useful, at least I can make a fuss around them when promoting, and there will be more media interviews!"

"Of course, otherwise why would their salaries be so high?"

"Alas, no wonder "No Thieves in the World" wants to use Liu Tianwang, the kappa shape is disturbing!"

“... Kappa?"

Lu Xiaoran waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, anyway, "The Story of Two Donkeys" can recover the cost, and my task is completed!"

Yang Mi suddenly interjected: "I haven't even seen it..."

"No way, it's not released here..."

"I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow, so I'll buy a ticket to see it!"

“... Isn't it, as a friend, that you don't charter the venue?"

"You're giving me money?"

"Forget it, when I didn't say..."

Yang Xiaomi is very active, and there is no sadness of parting at all - the drama is fast.

In contrast, Lu Xiaoran is distracted from directing, but sometimes he is immersed in the role, and when he gets out of the play, he often ignores people...

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Dongyang Mi, West Tangtang, North Jingtian, and Nan Yihuan have a Liu Tianxian in the middle! Shi Shi and Shanshan shouted together, don't put us aside!

That's true!

At this moment, Tangtang looked up at Lu Xiaoran, and then said, "I'll leave tomorrow too." ”

Xiao Lu Zi was shocked: "Ah? You're leaving, too?"

"Well, I've been delayed for a week, and I have to hurry to Daxu. ”

"Daxu?"

"A small town in Guilin, director Yang Yaya wants us to stay in that town for a month..."
