Chapter 179: There Is a Helicopter (4500 Words Big Chapter, Ask for Subscription!!)
Zhang Li and Ye Jintian glanced at each other, but Ye Jintian, as the art director, spoke first.
"Director Tang, I think the shots taken in these two shots are still a little far from our standards. ”
He pulled up a set of shots from the highway at the beginning, pointed to the monitor and said, "The main problem is that the picture is not stable enough, and I can feel some slight shaking." ”
Then he pressed the pause and continued, "This place is completely out of the level, and it is tilted to the right at an angle of nearly 15 degrees!"
"Other airports have a similar problem, in this set of shots that are even shot at sea level, not only the whole picture is crooked, but the camera angle is also shifted, and it is completely impossible to express the feeling of the actor walking on the iron bridge and being on the cliff. ”
Ye Jintian was very cautious, and only said a few obvious places.
Tang An nodded and looked at Zhang Li, "Lao Zhang, you are a professional photographer, is there any problem with the color and composition of the picture?"
Zhang Li thought for a while and replied, "There is nothing in color and lighting, I have debugged with the lighting team several times before, and I also used the camera to test shoot!"
"In terms of composition, Lao Ye also said just now that he did not find the boundary between the axis of symmetry and various parts, which caused the picture to shift!"
"Another is the contrast of colors, the top of the two buildings is highlighted, and the bottom half and the iron bridge in the middle are gray and dark, and they are not handled here. ”
After each of them made a little comment, they stopped talking and waited for Tang An's conclusion.
"Well, that's right!"
Tang An nodded in agreement, "We can't help with the stability of this lens, and the picture itself is not up to standard, just like Lao Zhang said, the panoramic composition from the bird's-eye perspective must be planned!"
Tang An stretched out his hand to feel the wind speed, the wind on the beach at night was still relatively strong.
"You go and talk to each other, consider the wind speed when flying, try to SF, ensure the stability of the lens, and the shaking is the most obvious when cornering, this must be controlled!"
"In terms of composition, this vertical overhead shot lens is obliquely composed, and although the light illuminates the top of the pair, it can still reflect a part of the shadow and slowly elongate the ......."
This asked Ye Jintian and Zhang Li to communicate with each other, and Tang An immediately asked a few actors to come over and walk through.
Asked the assistant director Zhang Yiping to tell them about the position, and Tang An sat back in front of the monitor.
"Director Tang, are you satisfied with the aerial photography?" Zhao Jun came over and asked.
"Not yet, it's almost funny!" Tang An shook his head.
"Director Tang, what should I do, do you want me to call them over?" Zhao Jun hurriedly said.
He is looking for the person, and if the matter is not done well, others should wonder if he is collecting money!
Tang An glanced at Zhao Jun and said with a smile, "No, Lao Ye and Lao Zhang have already gone to communicate with them!"
"What if you don't qualify?"
"Isn't the contract written, if it doesn't meet the requirements, the follow-up balance will not be given, and then Lao Zhao, you can deal with them!"
After Tang An finished speaking, he took the loudspeaker and shouted at the people in front of him, "Are you ready?"
"Ready!"
The crowd answered.
I tried to walk twice, turned on the lights, but the camera didn't turn on!
The third time is a test shot!
The lights should also be turned on for test shooting, not only to see the performance of the actors.
The actor is only a part of the whole shot, and as a director, he sees the whole thing.
In the past, Tang An didn't shout a pause, and called several of them to the monitor.
"Zhang Hanyu, did Director Zhang make you look left and right when he was talking to you about the play just now?"
"No, Director Tang,"
Zhang Hanyu explained, "I just think that as an old gun, I can deliberately behave a little casually at this time, so I glanced to the side twice!"
"Remember your personality, you are originally a ruthless, calm, and calm person, and you seem to be even more panicked like this!"
"Zou Xun, you are just the opposite of Zhang Hanyu, your status is noble, your father and Wang Jingwei are classmates, plus personal personality reasons, you have to look at both sides, just like playing in the mountains and rivers. ”
"That's why before you came over there to get on the bridge, I deliberately arranged for you to turn around and take two steps back, with brisk steps, you are a quirky lady!"
"Yu Shaoyu, you read that line just now, only receiving high-ranking officers, too deliberately, remember that movies and operas are different ways of acting!"
......
"That's it for today, go back and think about your own personality, and be in the state of mind at that time in each environment!"
"Meet tomorrow at 5 p.m., don't be late!"
It's not too early, so Tang An asked the crew to clean up and rest in the village.
It's all night scenes here, and the crew slept in their respective rooms during the day the next day, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the crew had dinner, and rushed to the shooting site again after dinner.
After a simple boot ceremony, it was time to get busy.
asked Zhang Yiping to take a group of people to aerial filming, and Tang An took the actors to start filming from the scenes in the car.
"Director Tang, the car is coming. ”
A car from the thirties of the last century drove from the station, almost like an extra ass Beetle.
The back is a long section, and the seats are also long sofas that are erected along the sides.
"Okay, all departments are ready, and the actors go to put on makeup!"
Half an hour later, everything was ready!
"Twelfth scene, one shot, one time!"
"Let's go!"
The Japanese people suddenly called five of them with different identities to such a remote place for a meeting, and everyone in the car reacted differently.
Zhang Hanyu closed his eyes and rested.
Li Binbin had just come from the dance party and was a little tired, and his head was tilted to the side in a daze.
Ying replied to rest against the grid between the main driver and the car.
Yu Shaoyu was holding a fast handkerchief in his hand, and his expression was no different from usual.
Suddenly, Zou Xun retched, threw himself forward, and vomited vigorously in front of the window.
Zhang Hanyu glanced at it and was unmoved.
Li Binbin took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.
Ying Da stared ahead, his face was flat, just holding his hat in his right hand and fanning him vigorously.
And Yu Shaoyu showed disgust in his eyes, and covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
"Click!"
is an old drama bone, and the other three are all one of the best actors of the younger generation, and they performed well in the first scene.
But!
"One more time!"
There are still flaws!
Tang An sat there with a loudspeaker and shouted.
"Zou Xun, from the beginning of my shouting, you have to show an uncomfortable expression, first your throat surged once, you forcibly held back, repeated twice, and finally couldn't help but spit out the third time!"
"The script says that you and Li Binbin just came from the dance hall, and before leaving, you deliberately drank all the wine in the cup, and got into the car as soon as you went out, and the long-distance journey must have been uncomfortable from the beginning!"
The details of this film are so well done that it's hard to notice when you look at it once.
When Zou Xun was about to leave the dance hall, he deliberately turned around and drank a large drink, and then got into the car and spit out of the car naturally, which was also convenient for observing the outside environment.
"Yu Shaoyu, you are too slow to react, your character is a sensitive and a little cleanliness person, plus sitting next to Zou Xun, she should react the moment she wants to vomit!"
Again, this time Yu Shaoyu was too deliberate, and he took 5 shots repeatedly, and this shot was counted!
followed by a close-up shot of getting out of the car, everyone was given nearly a second, and the individual demeanor and movements were different, and they were also shot 4 times in a row!
The camera of getting off the car then slowly moved to the side, from the pitch black bottomless cliff in the middle, to the iron bridge between the two buildings.
Wait and see the aerial photography over there, and then make up the shot!
"OK, get on the trail!"
Tang An beckoned everyone to a path on the side of the road, which could only accommodate one person at a time.
"Lao Zhang, the road is uneven, be careful with the camera!"
"Camera No. 2 is in the woods on the right!"
This one is only two or three seconds, and there is no difficulty, but Zhang Li didn't step on it steadily when he stepped back, so the camera shook a little.
Then the actors moved to the bridgehead.
"All departments ready!"
"Fourteenth, one shot, one time!"
"Let's go!"
The cameraman stands behind the actor, and the other four are all walking forward, leaving only one back.
Only Zou Xun walked three steps backwards, turned around in a dashing manner, and kept up with everyone!
"Click, do it again!"
"Lao Zhang, the focal length is a little longer!"
"Light, wait for Zou Xun to come over and turn around, split the light on his face, pay attention to the range, don't hit the Yingda teacher in front of her, her face and Yingda teacher's back should be completely dark!"
Split light is when the main light is placed at a 90-degree angle between the camera and the actor.
The main light source only illuminates half of the face, leaving the other half of the face hidden in shadow.
"Okay, the actor resets, try again!"
Zhang Yiping instructed the actors to stand in their positions just now, and the filming continued.
"All departments ready!"
"Fourteenth, one shot, two times!"
"Let's go!"
The second time was still a problem with the lighting, Tang An called Zhang Minghan over and asked him to see the effect for himself.
...
"Fourteenth, one shot, three times!"
After the adjustment, the effect is very good, and there is no problem with the actor's performance, even if this one is passed!
Then the camera pans to the other end.
"Fourteenth, two shots, one time!"
This shot took the two or three seconds of Zou Xun turning around.
Zou Xun took three steps backwards, turned around lightly, and his pretty face appeared in the monitor, and he continued to walk forward.
"Click!"
Tang An stared at Zhou Xun's eyes, hands, and feet, every movement, and carefully watched it twice.
"Zou Xun, come here!"
Beckoned her over, slightly out of the way, and pointed at the monitor screen.
"When you take the first two steps back, slow down your steps, don't look straight ahead, lift your head slightly, and look diagonally upward, indicating your reluctance and desire for the outside world and freedom!"
Zou Xun understood at one point, nodded and smiled, "Director Tang, I understand!"
Tang An continued, "The third step, and when you turn around, you can take a little bigger and faster, and at this time you can already predict your future, but relax.
"I know that I should face it calmly and restore your original daughter's true colors!"
"Isn't this character able to dance, when you turn around, let's take the easiest dance step to turn around, brisk and natural!"
After some explanation, the shooting continued.
A mature crew and a group of excellent actors can reduce the burden on the director a lot.
These actors are not stupid from time to time, and they are the best of their generation in terms of talent and hard work.
Even Wang Xiaoming is much more diligent than the vast majority of post-70s actors.
As for talent, the standard big-screen actor face is the best talent!
As for what kind of luck, Hua Yi praises...
Hua Yi has won a lot of people, and how many new stars are there who are shocked but fall quickly!
"Okay, Xu Tao will bring someone to give everyone supper, and then continue after eating and resting!"
I ate at 4 o'clock, worked for nearly 5 hours, and was also hungry.
In the past few days, Tang An plans to turn day and night upside down, sleeping during the day and filming at night!
Tang An came to Zhang Yiping's side with a bowl of boxed lunch and a bottle of water in his arm.
"Mr. Liu, it's hard work, you eat first, and then you can do it after eating!"
"Mr. Tang is so embarrassed, how can he have the face to eat if he hasn't finished his work!"
"You have to have strength to work, sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter!" Tang An waved his hand and smiled, and shouted into the distance.
"Lao Xu, bring some boxed lunches for the brothers here!"
"No, no, let's just go and get it ourselves!" Mr. Liu hurriedly said and took someone to the side to eat.
Tang An said to the group, "You guys also go to dinner, and bring one to Director Zhang!"
"How is Lao Zhang, how is the effect?"
"It's a little better than just now, Director Tang, you see, the frequency and amplitude of the shaking are already very small, I took two sets of shots just now, I took a look at it, and I can cut out a complete shot, but the other shot still can't!"
Zhang Yiping said and gave the monitor to Tang An.
"I'll see!"
Tang An took a bite of his meal and put the lunch box aside and stared at the monitor.
There has indeed been a lot of progress, and it would be enough if it was put on a TV series.
It's enough even in war movies, and there are no flaws on the big screen!
But this is a static shot, and if you look closely, there are still some flaws.
"Okay, Lao Zhang, you've worked hard too, let's eat!"
Tang An continued to pick up the lunch box and ate it in three or two.
After pouring a large sip of water and tightening the cap of the bottle, Tang An went to find someone from the aerial photography company with the water.
"Mr. Liu, the crew doesn't have anything to eat, I have wronged you to make a living!"
"Director Tang is polite, just eat enough!"
"But I have to tell you something, Mr. Liu, although today's effect is a little better than yesterday's few times, there will still be an obvious sense of shaking on the big screen, which is not good!"
"Director Tang, this is already the limit of what we can do, I dare to guarantee that there is no domestic aerial photography company with a better level than us!" The other party hurriedly said.
Tang An ignored his rhetoric and continued to say seriously, "But this level is not enough, if Mr. Liu can't meet my requirements, then I can only do things according to the contract!"
Mr. Liu is in a hurry, isn't it just not to pay the balance according to the contract!
I've been busy for so long, and the cost in the early stage is not enough for the loss of this time!
He couldn't take care of eating, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Tang, you can't be like this, the big guys have been busy for so long, you can't just give money if you don't meet the requirements!"
Although he originally had such concerns when he heard Tang An's request, he didn't expect it to be fulfilled.
Tang An spread his hands helplessly, "Mr. Liu, I am a director, and the quality of the film is related to my future, I can't make a joke about this, unless you can do it in line with my requirements!"
These people just want to card their money and let them do their best to do a good job, don't be like Feng Xiaogang, who is time-consuming and laborious!
"Mr. Liu, you also know that Director Feng of Huayi is going to shoot a large-scale modern war film, which will have a large number of aerial shots, if you can do it well this time, I will introduce Director Feng's movie to you!"
Tang An threw out a sweet date again!
"This..."
Mr. Liu saw that Tang An refused to relax at all, and gritted his teeth, "Director Tang, if you don't think so, I'll find a small manned helicopter to shoot, and I will take care of the formalities, but you can do it yourself!"
"But it's only five hours a night, and whether you shoot it or not, the money has to be settled. ”
"Director Feng's aerial photography work will also be completed by our company!"
Tang An was just like that, but he didn't expect the other party to really have a helicopter!
Regardless of whether it is their company or not, there is no problem if the formalities can be completed.
"Yes, but I can only pull a thread for Director Feng's project, and you have to talk about it yourself!"
