Chapter 60: Chilling
"Pay attention to the lights, do it again!"
None of them were in the shooting mode, and they didn't expect the first NG to come so quickly.
Lighting engineer Zhou Ren was stunned for a second, and immediately raised his hand to signal, "I'm sorry Director Tang!"
Tang An nodded and didn't say anything.
"Nineteenth, one shot, two times!"
"Let's go!"
The second shooting continued, Tang An stared closely at the monitor, and Xu Jinglei and Lu Yi reappeared from the corner twice!
"What's going on with the lights!"
"The enclosed space in the cabin, there are no windows, why are the lights so bright, how did I write the storyboard script I gave you!" Tang An shouted to the lighting group.
"Director Tang..."Zhou Ren opened his mouth, wanting to explain.
Tang An didn't wait for him to speak, and continued to scold, "The main lamp position and the front of the main body are forty-five degrees, and the auxiliary light is 75 degrees, you can see where it goes!"
A man in his thirties was pointed at by Tang An, a 24-year-old young man, and said that he was still a major that he was good at, and Zhou Ren's face was a little unsightly.
He defended, "Today is the first day of start-up, and his subordinates are not fully in ...... state."
Tang An is not looking for trouble, as long as these people are not stupid, Sun Ming being taken away is enough for them not to dare to do things again.
But he didn't expect these people to be so perfunctory to him, really when he didn't understand anything?
"Didn't get into the state, but it was pretty quick to get into the state at noon!"
"Everybody's had a little drink at noon, maybe..."
"How much wine did the team leader drink that week?" Tang An said angrily.
Seeing that everyone in the crew was staring at him, Zhou Ren said stiffly, "Director Tang, you told me in the morning, of course I didn't drink much, but it's rare for everyone to have a good ......."
"Since Team Leader Zhou wasn't drunk, why didn't you take a look before shooting, and why didn't you check it when you went to NG for the first time?" Tang An stared straight at Zhou Ren and said word by word.
Without waiting for him to answer, Tang An instructed a few lighting assistants who bowed their heads and didn't dare to make a sound, "The main light position is about 15 degrees downward, the side light position of the auxiliary light in front of the car is 25 degrees to the left, the contour light takes two steps back, aims at the camera, the light is dimmed, and the photographer looks at the effect!"
"Turn off the side backlight, turn off the top light, don't get too close to the lights, spread out a little!"
"Lao Xu and Lu Yi are reinstated!"
After the guidance was completed, Tang An asked Xu Jinglei and Lu Yi to stand back in their original positions, and then make some minor adjustments, and the photographer also looked at the effect through the lens.
These adjustments were not filmed, after all, every shot will waste film, and if you can save it, you can save it.
"Open the aperture wide!"
"Spread the lights a little more!"
......
After repeated adjustments, Tang An looked at photographer Zhou Jixun.
"How's Old Zhou?"
Zhou Jixun leaned his head in front of the camera and observed it several times before he nodded, looking at Tang An's eyes full of admiration, "No problem Director Tang!"
"Okay, keep shooting!"
"Nineteenth, one shot, three times!"
"Let's go!"
In nearly an hour, the first shot had not yet been filmed, and Tang An directly embarrassed Zhou Ren, the lighting team leader, in front of everyone just now.
In the first scene and the first shot, the leader of the lighting team can't even do his own job well, and the director has to guide him personally.
Under the strange gaze of everyone, Zhou Ren was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refute it.
Although the others were stealing fun, they were also terrified, and they took down the production director before the movie started, and now they directly slapped the lighting team leader in the face.
Everyone was afraid that they would become the next target of Tang An's prestige.
That's right, everyone thinks that Tang An is the new official who has taken office with three fires, and he wants to establish his authority.
The second one has only been burned now, and no one can be burned by the third.
The third shooting started immediately, and Tang An shouted to stop again.
Zhou Ren was overjoyed when he heard the sound of "click".
It's your own lighting, but it has nothing to do with me.
However, Tang An's words disappointed him again.
"Stop, Lu Yi pays attention to your performance, you just treat this as an ordinary place, such as a park you haven't been to, just glance around a few times casually!"
"And Lao Xu, your expression should be a little confused, thinking and reminiscing, because at this time, your subconscious feels that this place is familiar!"
"Also, when you look around, you move a little slower, and you have a thoughtful look every time you look in a direction!"
"Okay director!" the two nodded, thinking for a while and continuing to shoot!
"Nineteenth, one shot, four times!"
"Let's go!"
The actor was reset and started all over again, this time almost meeting Tang An's requirements.
Immediately afterwards, Deng Chao, Sun Li, and another actor also followed from behind.
At that time, when selecting actors, Tang An picked 4, and the remaining young actor asked Wang Zhongjun to send someone over.
This person Tang An has no impression, he came out of a third-rate acting school, and he has never even heard of his name.
"Click!"
After one was filmed, Tang An watched it several times in front of the monitor.
He frowned and shouted to photographer Zhou Jixun, "Old Zhou!"
"Hey, director!" Zhou Jixun, who was directing his camera assistant to change the film, looked up and responded.
"The one just now, Lao Zhou, you pay attention to capture Lao Xu's facial expressions, as well as her eyes!"
"Okay Director Tang!"
With Zhou Ren's experience, Zhou Jixun didn't dare to talk back, in case he was caught typical and provoked the third fire, then he would be embarrassed.
In the fifth shooting, Zhou Jixun stared intently in front of the camera and accurately grasped every look and facial micro-expression of Xu Jinglei.
The camera followed Xu Jinglei every time she turned her head, and followed up just right, without any mistakes.
"Okay!"
At 3:30 p.m., it took nearly two hours for the first shot to finally be completed.
Then the next shot continued, a large panoramic view of the entire banquet hall.
It's not difficult, it's mainly Xu Jinglei's performance, but there is a camera in the back to shoot the effect of voyeurism from the corridor on the side.
It's not the kind of peeping through the crack in the door, and it's still a little difficult to shoot.
After trying it twice, I adjusted the camera position and lighting repeatedly, and finally found a suitable angle that could see most of the banquet hall, and it was centered on Xu Jinglei's position.
Through the subtle shaking of the camera, and Xu Jinglei performed the uneasiness of being watched, he completed this shot.
Later, Tang An did not interfere with Zhou Ren's work anymore, and he seemed to be "ashamed and brave", which can be regarded as a good completion.
One afternoon, one scene, four shots, within Tang An's expectations, after all, it was only the first day.
"It's not too early, everyone has worked hard today, pack up and keep the equipment, and go back to rest!" Tang An looked at the time and ordered everyone.
"Good director!"
"Director go slowly!"
"Thank you, Director!"
After Tang An left, the tense nerves of everyone in the crew could finally relax a little.
"Whew, I'm so nervous, I've been in so many crews, it's the first time I've been so nervous!"
"Our Tang director is not simple, he is still better at lighting than Lao Zhou!" art director Chen Jinhe teased.
"Made, count me unlucky, those little cubs under my command have made me ugly, I have to educate them well when I go back!" Zhou Ren said indignantly.
"Don't think so much now, I thought the new director's film could be a little sloppy, but now I can't watch it less demanding than Director Huo!"
"It's not low, it's a level stricter than Director Huo's film!"
Nearly half of this crew was transferred from Huo Jianqi, and last month's "Lover's Knot" he filmed won nearly 10 million box office, and there was just a few months of vacuum, so his team was arranged to Tang An.
"Be careful in the future, I think it's best to spit out the money we took before, and he will turn it out when it doesn't matter!"
"Also, be careful!"
Not only a few of them who have a handle in Tang An's hands, but also the rest of the crew, as well as a few actors, originally saw that Tang An was so young and had a very relaxed mentality, but all of them became frightened birds, for fear of being taken out and scolded!
