Time flies, time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

The next day was Monday, which happened to be the next week.

The eldest lady had to go to class, so she didn't come to the start-up ceremony.

And Fang Bei also maintained its usual "low-key" style and did not invite the media to participate.

There are plenty of funds for this shooting, so the big guy voted against Fang Bei's opinion, and directly chose to charter a small town to shoot in the past.

When I arrived at the place, I rested for the night, and the next morning, the start-up ceremony was about to begin.

As is customary, Fang Bei once again took out the small pot of succulent flowers, and then inserted three cigarettes.

This time is different from the last time when Hongta Mountain, which cost eight yuan a pack, and uses the world.

But the portrait that hangs is different.

Liu Mangmo rubbed his chin: "Old Fang, why don't you hang Lao Wang?"

Shaolin Temple in Wudang Mountain Office Grand Priest Wang Lama, referred to as Lao Wang.

This is the portrait of everyone when the last "Captain China" was launched.

The portrait was painted by Fang Bei himself.

Liu Mang felt that it was quite effective.

Fang Bei rolled his eyes: "As young people who grew up in modern society, how can we be superstitious? This is just a routine, and everything is the same." ”

That's weird!

Another time-traveler said that he was atheistic, and he was afraid that he would not even be able to pass this level himself.

He just felt that it was unlucky to hang "Lao Wang".

So he drew a new character overnight to hang.

It's the kind of original character who is a woman, a black man, and a lesbian, and is followed by a cat and a dog with an ear of wheat in his hand.

With the blessing of such a big guy, this movie should always be able to come according to his own ideas, right?

Ignoring Liu Mang's dissatisfaction, Fang Bei took everyone to worship this portrait without the slightest disrespect, and then threw this portrait into an unknown corner.

Getting to work, Fang Bei quickly got into the groove.

The town was still a little cold in April, so Fang Bei put on a military coat and collapsed there after finding a place.

Liu Mang saw it in his eyes and was moved in his heart.

He knew that this was the right thing to do to give him a chance.

So he quickly got into the state, scolding and rushing everyone to get ready to start.

As a result, the first scene was difficult.

Because this town is set as the hometown of the protagonist Chen Qing and the villain Kira in "The Shadow of Light", the plot of their childhood was placed here.

And the first shot to be taken now is the plot of the old video store burning down.

I don't know if the people in the post-production special effects team of other crews are with the crew, anyway, Luo Wei, the director of the editing team in the other crew, and Pan Xiao, the leader of the special effects team, all came with the crew.

Now Liu Mang is pulling the two of them, as well as the director of the photography team, Nie Fang, squatting together and smoking.

Nie Fang squinted his eyes and took a puff of his cigarette: "How should I shoot this scene?"

Liu Mang flicked the cigarette ash and put the cigarette in his mouth, and then took out the storyboard of Fang Bei: "You are the most relaxed, just shoot according to this storyboard." ”

Nie Fang smiled: "To be honest, I've never seen a director's storyboard so detailed before, it feels like a comic, and the camera sense and fighting are too good, I guess even if it is printed and sold, it can sell for a lot of money." ”

That's true.

Although Fang Bei consciously knows nothing about making movies, and can only write lyrics and hum tunes when writing songs, he is a professional in painting, and he is very professional.

"Yusuke Komurata" and "Ken Kohata II" are not called in vain.

And he rewrote the ability to pick up the previous meal, and he couldn't hold back the itchy hand for a while, so he stayed up late and burst his liver for three days to finish all the storyboards of a whole movie......

So Nie Fang's work is much simpler than the previous "Captain China".

Generally, when making a movie, the director will have a picture in his mind in advance, but some are uncertain.

So he asked the camera crew to shoot over and over again according to the director's requirements to achieve the effect he wanted in his mind.

Or shoot several times with different shots and methods according to the director's requirements, and then the director compares and chooses which one is more satisfying to him.

In "Captain China", Fang Bei is a soy sauce player, Liu Mang asked him anything, and he said, "Just follow you".

As a result, Liu Mang completely changed as soon as he started filming the movie, and they had to shoot each scene at least ten times to barely satisfy Liu Mang.

Not to mention arguing every day, they almost fought.

Now this "Shadow of Light" is simple, as long as it is shot according to the storyboard.

You don't even have to change the position of the lens.

But Fang Bei's storyboard painting is too passionate and gorgeous, and the result is that in some places he uses a more abstract painting method to express the core.

But the storyboard is not a comic after all, and there is no bubble text in it.

So they're stumped now.

Liu Mang spread out the storyboard, and the four of them squatted in a circle to watch.

He pointed to the abstract background of the old video store above: "How do you do this?"

According to the script, several people guessed that this should be a burning flame.

But Fang Bei's painting is too abstract.

Actually, it's not abstract, it's art.

In that grid, Ji Liang and Chen Qing, who were still children, were running out with something in their arms, and the very three-dimensional flames in the middle separated the two.

In the flames behind Kira was an abstract and vague humanoid creature, and if you looked closely, you could see that the humanoid had two horns on its head.

Behind Chen Qing, there was no flame, but a shadow.

Shadow's face is a half-smiling and half-crying clown mask.

Here's the problem, Liu Mang and they are not sure whether the movie should come like this.

After all, storyboards are frame-by-frame, and movies move.

They discussed whether the shot should be shot in two separate shots or together.

When put together, what should this flame and shadow do in the post-production special effects?

After all, it doesn't make sense that in the same shot, one person has fire behind his back and another person doesn't, right?

But they have all read the full script, and they also know that this is a metaphor and foreshadowing left in the script.

By this time, both of them had awakened their superpowers.

And there is a metaphor for the flame behind Kira, which means that his good side has been swallowed up from here.

The blank space and shadow behind Chen Qing indicate that he is half good and half evil, and the abstract smiling and crying clown expression on the shadow's face also means this.

The four of them discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a result.

In the end, Pan Xiao made a suggestion: "Why don't you ask Director Fang?"

............

Fang Bei was wrapped in a military coat and curled up in a chair, staring straight ahead.

He was in a daze.

Next to him, Kira Yoshikage was chatting with Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming.

They actually didn't play today, but Kira Yoshikage and Liu Jianming had never been in contact with such a huge crew before, and they also played a very heavy role.

Chen Yongren has no experience in filmmaking, so they feel new to everything they watch, and they also want to leave a good impression on the crew.

At this time, Liu Mang and the four of them came over:

"Director Fang, we have a little disagreement on this shot, can you guide us?"

Look and talk!

And I also know that I have to shout "Director Fang" on the set.

Fang Bei came back to his senses, glanced at the storyboard pointed by Liu Mang, and said casually: "What did I think, this is a 'stand-in'." ”

A few people were stunned: "What stand-in?

Could it be that more than one person was burned to death in this shop?

It shouldn't be...... The script says that it's true that only the shopkeeper is dead.

Fang Bei smiled slightly: "'Stand-in' is the ability of 'stand-in messenger'. ”
