Chapter 228: Challenging the Green Screen
"This script is the best I've ever seen!"
The little girl said seriously: "It's not just the special effects that are scary, but also the father's self-blame and grief for his daughter's death, especially a few reversals, it's too exciting!"
Ding Cheng nodded, Xu Wenzheng is not stupid after all, even if he tests the waters, he will not be casual, and the producer is not easy to be.
If he fails, he will definitely bear the brunt of being questioned by black fans, but as a director and investor who has won tens of billions of battles repeatedly, the golden sign of not losing money is even more dangerous.
Everybody's gambling,
I bet on acting,
He's betting bigger!
Ding Cheng thinks very clearly, and there are three sources of self-confidence: the first is acting!
The second is a solid script.
The third is a mature team.
Whether it is Xu Yinghua or Wang Tian, who is getting better and better, no matter how awesome the actor is, he is just fighting alone.
Camera, lighting, props, costumes, sets, make-up......
or even a group performance,
Indispensable.
Even if the bald head is not a director, the team is still the team, and the atmosphere is still the same atmosphere, which is the greatest confidence.
Seeing the old cadre leaving, Su Yao picked up the script and asked the little girl thoughtfully: "Do you know why he took this play?"
"The book is good!"
The little girl talked for a long time, her mouth was dry, she opened the juice, and Meimei said, "What else?"
Su Yao shook her head and chuckled: "There is more than one good script, if you want me to say ......"
"It's still a green screen!"
"Green screen?" Liu Wanning was stunned for a moment, suddenly understood something, and blurted out: "Is it a physical performance!"
Seeing Su Yao smiling and silent, he finally suddenly realized: "Day, you are worthy of being an old cadre!"
Ding Cheng came to the rooftop, closed his eyes and began to recall the feeling when he was filming the shadow chasing the murderer, Su Yao was right, the reason why he took this drama was mainly to challenge the green screen performance.
The brothers have used it many times, using a green screen to complete some scenes that are difficult to shoot in daily life. Especially those shocking scenes in sci-fi blockbusters use green screen keying technology.
As soon as the actors perform in front of a green screen, and after post-production, those spectacular shots are presented to the audience.
To put it bluntly, the green screen is the background curtain of the lens, and the picture is processed by a computer, and the green color is cut off and replaced with a different background.
One is the need to photograph creatures or scenes that are completely fictional and non-existent in reality. For example, Warcraft in fantasy films, planets in science fiction films.
The other is a situation that exists in reality, but it is impossible to make it in reality, or that although it can be made, the cost is too high, such as an actor jumping from a tall building, an airplane explosion that is common in war films, etc.
This kind of non-physical performance is different from live-action shooting, which not only puts forward higher requirements for the actor's ability to control emotions, especially the imagination and action design details are also a huge test.
This is also the reason why Shadow Chase is very enjoyable!
Imagination has actually been taught in school before, and the actor has to fully believe in the prescribed situation, and the teacher will provide some alternative memories.
For example, if you want to play a sad scene, you can associate unpleasant experiences in your life.
For example, acting in a flood rescue scene is likely to be filmed in a pool, and all the actors believe the audience through their expressions and movements.
Because the surrounding scenes and props are fake, you need to communicate with the director and cinematographer in advance, and every point, every line, and even every look must be tightly matched.
Ding Cheng closed his eyes, and kept recalling in his mind that this experience could not rely on the system, but on himself.
To this day, the most filmed are still suspense detective genres, such as shadow chasers and invisible guests.
Then there's black humor with a strong satire, I'm not a savior and a bullfight.
Although the professions are different, the emotional expressions are all depressed and low, with dark tones. Even if I am one-seventh of me, the sun is only fleeting.
This time to challenge the horror film, the protagonist Zhao Zhuo is a horror writer who pretends to be a ghost all day long, but he is an outright atheist at heart.
In order to complete the new book, it was decided to find a legendary supernatural room to stay in for ten days, collect materials, and boldly choose room 1408 of the most eerie Haydn Hotel.
That room claimed to have had dozens of bizarre deaths, and he didn't believe in evil at first, but as a result, one bizarre supernatural phenomenon after another made him completely change his three views.
The material is there, but the crux of the matter is:
Gotta get out of that room alive first!
When I came to the set, I met the director Hu Hui, the assistant director who has followed Xu Wenzheng for many years, and I was not a savior last time.
The team is basically familiar faces, and soon entered the working state, Xu Wenzheng, as the producer and producer, is mainly responsible for communication and coordination now, and the shooting is handed over to Hu Hui.
"Seiko, why don't you find your feelings first?"
Ding Cheng came to the huge green screen, and there was nothing around him, only the camera pointed at him. Usually actors often need to use their surroundings to adjust their feelings before filming, so as to better integrate into the role.
Now it's an empty green studio performance, not even the most basic props, the scene completely relies on their own imagination, and the shadow chasing the murderer has also been played, but after all, there are scene props to assist, and now ......
It's interesting!
Xu Wenzheng watched Ding Cheng from the side, no matter who it was, it was very challenging for the all-green screen performance, especially the sci-fi and horror genres, not only the scene props, but also the surrounding sound and light, especially the urgent and oppressive atmosphere, how to convey to the audience through the performance.
"No!"
"Jiajia ......"
"Don't leave Daddy!"
With a mournful shout, Ding Cheng opened his arms and grabbed the air hard, as if the most precious thing in his life was gone......
"Don't ......"
"Don't come near me!"
Suddenly, his eyes widened, his eyes were red as blood, as if he had seen the most terrifying scene in the world, his whole body first trembled violently, and his mouth let out a beast-like wail, miserable and sharp......
With some kind of fear approaching, the body gradually curled up together, like a wounded little beast, not daring to raise its head, but only letting out a low and helpless sadness, which made people's cold hairs explode, and the whole person felt empathy as if he was there.
"Great!"
Xu Wenzheng only felt that the back of his neck was full of gusts of wind, and a cold sweat broke out in his head, so he easily eased his nerves, and said excitedly: "This performance is amazing!"
"Brother, I'll kneel for you!" Hu Hui shuddered violently and said, "The goosebumps are up." ”
Now everyone applauds, this is called the actor, it's really awesome!
Ding Cheng stood up, smiled and waved his hand, since he opened his voice muscles, he has a deeper understanding of performance, he used to rely on expressions to convey emotions, and now he has another weapon:
Sound!
