Chapter 199: Filming and Movie X Complex
PS: Ask for a recommended ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
Filming scene.
Artificial warm color filters and warm light sources shine on the bright and vivid merry-go-round in front of you, creating a very warm picture.
Unlike Hong Kong Island filmmakers, who love natural light, or many of them simply don't understand the impact of light on their films. Wu Xiaozu prefers artificial lighting. He likes to use the warmth and coldness of the light, the change of light and shade to set off the sense of the picture and the relationship between people and management, so as to promote the development of the story.
In his previous life, Feng Dacang filmed Fanghua in his film commune in Haikou, and the whole movie was artificially lit, and the light scheduling was very sunny and sunny. The picture of the literary and artistic soldiers dancing in the dance studio, the warm light projected by the large glass window, is 100% artificially completed, which is both beautiful and very contemporary.
Unless there are many movies that require realism, more people will choose artificial lighting for film shooting.
In this play, Wu Xiaozu's requirements for light are more cumbersome. He needed to use the change of light to illustrate the progress of the story.
In the first scene, in the casino, the bright and lively merry-go-round was full of laughter. Through the artificial light source, it will appear extremely tender and warm, which can render the reason for the extreme hatred between the confrontation between the two heroes and deepen the persuasiveness.
"Brother Tai, Uncle Biao, the camera here mainly shoots the warm scenes of Han Li and the child, so I need you to use a slow shot. The merry-go-round, the child's laughter, the warm sunlight hitting the child's innocent smiling face......"
Wu Xiaozu patted the merry-go-round next to him and asked Huang Yuetai and Huang Zhongbiao to depict the picture they needed, and told him eloquently.
"Uncle Biao, remember to give these two booms a close-up in the slow shot, at least 34 seconds to freeze frame. ”
In front of you, the two metal booms hanging from the Trojan horse are hung with different merry-go-rounds, if the "X" pattern appears on the screen, it will not only make the film full of uncertainty, but also make the warm picture be cut, giving the audience psychological hints visually.
Wu Xiaozu's first scene is very "strange" to choose the first scene of the script.
The film itself is reassembled and stitched together after multi-linear shots. Very few directors would deliberately arrange such a scene for filming.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaozu glanced at the two people who were facing each other not far away, and smiled slightly.
On the set, Zhou Yanfa stood there with an imposing attitude, combing his big back, smiling at the corners of his mouth, his eyes were blurred, and he was wearing a large windbreaker with a red background and black face with a very textured and designed sense.
Thinking about it, Fa Ge is one of the few actors in the world who can control the back, and the last one is Marlon Brando, the god of the back.
Not far away, Liang Jiahui was squatting on the ground, holding a little actor with an intimate look on his face, cultivating feelings, and the character was quiet and introverted.
Tang San and Han Li have two characters, one has an outgoing personality and the other has an introverted personality.
……
Lin Qingxia stood outside the camera with her jade arm in her arms, her eyes moving between the actors performing in the venue and the pickups outside the venue from time to time.
As the camera advances, the metal boom holding the Trojan horse suddenly freezes in the frame for 34 seconds, and the two connected booms appear with an unignorable and uncertain "X" cross.
This "x" pattern is used by Wu Xiaozu to metaphorize the sense of fate of the two protagonists entangled with each other.
At the same time, in post-production, this "X" shot will slowly change from objective to subjective. X is the rifle aiming crosshair, push and pull the lens along the crosshair, and the scope will be Zhou Runfa lying with a gun.
"Huh?"
“?”
Lin Qingxia unexpectedly glanced at the young man beside her with clear eyebrows, she knew that the young man in front of her was from Xinyi City, but Wu Xiaozu generously promoted and arranged him in the position of field affairs.
"Ashin, is there anything strange?" Lin Qingxia asked with a friendly smile.
"Huh, Sister Qingxia...... I just think Director Wu's handling of this shot is particularly exquisite. The way the scenery sets off the condition of the characters is adopted......"
Seeing Lin Qingxia listening carefully, the young man named Ashin couldn't help but point to the merry-go-round that was being rearranged in the venue, "When the lights were bright just now, the whole picture was bright and vivid, full of vitality. The merry-go-rounds are bright and new.
But you see, just now the kid was shot, and the other side of the merry-go-round shot by camera B ......"
Following her fingers, Lin Qingxia looked towards the pickup.
The mottled and dilapidated merry-go-round came into view, and the whole Trojan horse was lonely, full of loneliness and depression.
"Also, the X formed by the staggered boom just now, is it already a sign that something wrong is going to happen?"
The young man added, "If you look closely, you will find that the positions of Fa Ge and Hui Ge are X balanced composition under the overhead shot, na...... There is a fishing line tied to the branch behind Fa Ge, I estimate that when he shoots, with a blower, these two branches will naturally form a pattern of roughly x, which also symbolizes that something bad happened to his shooting because of the wind speed......"
Lin Qingxia listened to the "guidance" of the young man next to her, savored it carefully, and stared at the man not far away who was comparing and talking with Liang Jiahui and Zhou Yanfa as if she had seen it for the first time, and her serious posture made her smile seriously.
"Thank you, I didn't expect you to know so much. Lin Qingxia thanked the young man next to her for her kindness.
"No, no...... In fact, I also read Director Wu's director's codex and listened to his conversation with the crew. The young man waved his hand in a panic and smirked.
"Ashin, the director called you!"
Just when he wanted to talk to Lin Qingxia a few more words, the assistant director and Luo Liyuan not far away waved at him and yelled.
……
In the shade of a tree.
Luo Liraman was carrying the "imitation" real gun sent by the props team after signing it, and when he saw Ye Weixin running over, he ordered in a deep voice, "When you shoot horizontally, you will be responsible for counting the bullet casings, and we will be ready to test the sound and lens of the bullet casings landing." As he spoke, Luo Liamaran handed over a handful of yellow-orange-orange metal bullet shells.
"There are 20 pieces in total, so I must check them out and keep them. ”
"Don't worry, Director Luo. Ye Weixin took the brass bullet with a smile on his lips, and counted them one by one very carefully in his hands. There is no room for sloppiness in such a thing as real guns and live ammunition.
Nowadays, the Hong Kong Island film industry shoots movies, and there are replica guns and prop guns. There are many kinds of prop guns, but they will appear distorted in comparison. Therefore, the Hong Kong Island film industry, including Jackie Chan and Wu Yusen, will choose imitation guns when they shoot gunfight movies.
Even in later generations, they would apply to the police station for real guns. Du cannon shoots gunfire on the application of real guns.
This "imitation" of the real gun is completely in line with the principle of the real gun except for the slight differences. It's just that rifling and parts can't be guaranteed, and it is estimated that you don't know where to fly 10 meters away.
In real life, where is it possible to kill people with a gun? On television, people often watch people chase bandits, and they can pick up equipment, but they turn a blind eye, and there are actually scientific reasons for chasing and killing people with big knives.
If a gun has not been calibrated and adjusted, a normal person will not be much better than a burning stick! Even if a sharpshooter gets a new gun, if it is not debugged, it is still possible to miss the target. The only possibility is that the director himself has never touched a real gun.
This is not the case with real guns, not to mention these "scrapped" firearms. In terms of security, these firearms must be filed at the police station, and the trajectory of bullets is also recorded. Unless you're a weapons expert...... In other words, why should weapons experts bother so much?
At the shooting scene of the two heroes, the close-up and medium shots are all shot with simulated firearms. Wu Xiaozu demanded that the appearance of the bullet casing ricolette should be imitated.
Wu Xiaozu can't always learn from Wu Baige, a pistol can be used as a Gatling, and then in the end, he can still remember the opponent's bullet for some reason......
In the filming of the movie, the visual quality of the heavy brass bullet chamber can stimulate the audience's adrenal glands even more.
Luo Liamath personally demonstrated these "close-up" shots.
Gunfire, speeding, blasting, pyrotechnics, Luo Liyuan is good at all these jobs. This shooting is fatal, and Luo Liamaranth is worth the price.
1024 locomotive, with the completion of several dramas, gradually has a so-called "verification gesture" team.
Qiu Litao, Liu Weiqiang, Luo Liyuan, Qian Wenqi, Zou Lin...... and so on, including the three brothers Fei Cheng, Luo Dong and Su Liyao, this lineup may not be as glamorous as Hong Jinbao's Hong family class. But in terms of behind-the-scenes strength, it is not lost to any professional "prostitute" gang.
The joke of "Wu Jiaban" is a prophecy.
Compared with the Hongjia class, the Chengjia class, the Yuan family class, and the Liu family class, the Wu family class seems to pay more attention to technology.
In terms of development prospects, they are at most a hair salon, and Wu Xiaozu can develop into an east pipe.
The previous Qiu Litao's hair salon failed to open, but don't worry, Liu Weiqiang's foot massage shop will open soon, and then Wu Xiaozu and Luo Liamaranth will rent a day......
In addition, Wu Xiaozu dug up a little fresh meat director.
Ye Weixin.
In later generations, Ye Weixin was regarded as the leader of the "young director" generation on Hong Kong Island. He can shoot good word-of-mouth films such as Juliet and Liang Shanbo and Burst Criminal Police, and he can also sell pure commercial films that sell money to kill wolves and fuses.
Therefore, when this handsome boy who had been working as a messenger, handyman, and field worker in Xinyi City for two years was sent to help, Wu Xiaozu had no intention of returning it.
At the very least, this is also a pedicure bath......
Ye Weixin, who has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, is capable and intelligent, but he just thinks that Director Wu is very supportive of himself. As everyone knows, in the eyes of others, he has already shown his appearance.
If 1024 wants to develop, it is inseparable from young talents.
Wu Xiaozu watched Wu Zhenyu, who had signed five plays for thousands of yuan, walk into the crew, and more and more agreed with this point of view.
Cockfighting has become a pheasant, and although Wu Zhenyu's commercial value is not as appalling as that of Luo Yijian, it is still a lot more popular.
Treating these potential calves, Wu Xiaozu's attitude is to do his duty, and then give the platform. Just like Liu Weiqiang. No one is a fool, and faithfulness is the least worthy of scrutiny and temptation.
In business, value is the best foundation for cooperation.
