As a drama film, "The Shawshank Redemption" is easy to say, and difficult to say.

It can be said very simply, which means that as long as the actors are in the state, the progress of the filming will be very fast, and it will not be a problem to finish the filming in ten days and half a month.

To say that it is very complicated and difficult to shoot means that the actors are unable to get into the state for a long time, so the filming will be stuck in the middle, and there is no way to shoot continuously.

A movie made up of thousands of fragmented shots is actually not messy, as long as you find the key points, then when shooting, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

So far, Yin Jun has only filmed one "Wulin Gaiden" and "Speed of Life and Death".

Among them, "Wulin Gaiden" is actually a sitcom, and there are not too many requirements for the transformation of shots and the rendering of scenes, as long as the camera is set up there and the actors can act.

What is the state of their performance, what is it in the camera.

As long as it meets the requirements of the script, then such a sitcom will not be far behind.

In "Speed of Life and Death", Yin Jun appointed Yuan Kui as the executive director, he only had to manage the state of the actors, as for where the lens transitions are needed, where the rendering of special effects is needed, etc., these are all directed by Yuan Kui, and Yin Jun is only responsible for the final imaging results.

This does not mean that "Speed of Life and Death" is not Yin Jun's work, in fact, the pictures presented in the movie are all what Yin Jun wants to express, and they are also the existence of Yin Jun's directorial concept, Yuan Kui, including Luo Lixian of special effects, is just an executor, which is enough.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is Yin Jun's second film made by himself, but he is not ready to do everything in detail.

"Speed of Life and Death" is a good example, as long as you grasp the details and express what you want clearly, the rest will naturally be done by experienced executors.

To this end, the teenager mobilized a total of three camera crews and two executive directors as assistants.

The most important plot location of "The Shawshank Redemption" - prison, has a large number of long-range and overhead shots, and the requirements for cinematography are very high.

For example, in the first act, the scene where Andy is sent to Shawshank Prison is shot from the main entrance like a European castle, all the way over, showing a spacious but cold panorama of the prison, and this contrast between the beauty of the appearance and the actual suppression of pain arises spontaneously.

As the male protagonist, Zhou Yunfa vividly portrayed the image of a wronged banker in the first courtroom debate scene.

But when he arrived in the prison, that is, after getting off the prisoner car, in the iron net, he was frantically picked on and ridiculed by all the prisoners, Zhou Yanfa's performance was a little excessive.

"No, no, Brother Fa, you can't act very aggrieved, you shouldn't be angry, you should be at a loss, you know?" After three consecutive NGs, Yin Jun stopped filming and walked to Zhou Yanfa's side, "Although they are all scumbags, all of whom you have never been in contact with, but now, you have not woken up from the blow of being wronged, including the blow of your wife fornicating with others...... So you should be confused and overwhelmed!"

Zhou Yunfa also sensed that he was not in a good state, and nodded, "Give me a little more time, I'll brew my emotions." ”

"Remember, in the face of the crazy performance of these prisoners, your expression, your mood, are all the same at a loss. Yin Jun said, "Seize this point and show it in the camera!"

"Good!"

Zhou Yanfa took a long breath and returned to the new prisoner, re-tied by the rope.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Yanfa sent out a signal that had been prepared, and the on-site executive director passed the signal to Yin Jun, who waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!"

"Start ......"

Through the loudspeaker, the venue, which was still just now, suddenly became noisy again.

The actors who were still laughing just now lay on the barbed wire one after another, shouting and scaring the new prisoners, and the new prisoners who lined up in a straight line and walked into the prison also wore various expressions, showing the various states of life.

Zhou Yunfa performed much better this time, he changed his initial annoyed gaze to a slight bow, not looking at anyone, but the camera could capture the numbness on his face and a trace of overwhelmed eyes.

That's right.

Andy needs that kind of emotion.

Andy of the original work, although his expression at this time was at a loss, he looked around, this feeling was completely different from the change in his banker's mood when he suddenly became a prisoner, so Yin Jun himself made such a change.

Now it looks like it's working pretty well.

Yin Jun smiled slightly, and turned to look at the other crew.

The other crew was filming Morgan Freeman and the others, snuggling up to the top of the sculpture, laughing and betting on cigarettes.

Morgan Freeman's performance is like the laziness of a group of old oilboys in prison.

Yin Jun saw a few people in the camera monitor, relaxed and talking and laughing, as if he was in a tavern, not picky at all.

"It's a group of good actors. Yin Jun sighed involuntarily.

"That's it. Shi Shaoming, who was standing on the side, also said with a smile: "For Jun Shao's play, Lianyi Film Company has invested a lot of money, and most of the people who gave it to the camera have acting experience." Anyone who has lines can find them in past movies, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this drama is full of stars. ”

Yin Jun smiled when he heard this, and said with his jaw headed: "That is, the price is a little more expensive." ”

The boss wants to shoot the movie himself, and of course United Arts Film has taken out his best resources, the three film crews are all top-notch, and the two executive directors are all people who have made movies, although the box office is not very good, but they are all very experienced.

In terms of finding actors, according to Yin Jun's requirements, whether it is Morgan Freeman, or the warden, or the captain, or a few cellmates with scenes, etc., they are all famous and surnamed people, and there is absolutely no behavior of playing tricks.

However, the price will naturally be higher.

Americans and Chinese people have always been very particular about filming, and the working hours are clearly stipulated in the contract, don't look at Morgan Freeman and Yin Jun talking and laughing, but people's salaries are also real, if you want to work overtime outside of working hours to shoot, but you have to pay three times the pay, how can this not be expensive?

Chinese people are definitely not used to this, I will pay you, what do you do when you get on the set, just listen to me, don't care so much else, tell you to shoot at three or four o'clock in the morning, you have to go, tell you to run wild in the snowy night at twelve o'clock at night, you have to go, there is no restriction on time, place and venue.

In his previous life, after Zhou Yunfa went to Hollywood to film, he learned this way of the Americans, which made many directors who worked with him not very accustomed to it, and some gossip came out over time.

Tebi once went out to film, and the filming time was calculated from the time he left the hotel, but because of the big congestion, by the time he arrived at the filming venue, more than two hours had passed, and everyone was waiting for him, but Zhou Runfa's agent came over and said that Fa Ge had been filming for more than two hours, and now it belongs to the stipulated rest time, and we will take a break and have lunch before filming.

This can make everyone angry, if it weren't for Zhou Yanfa's really big name, it was an irreplaceable existence in the crew, and the director could throw the script in his face on the spot.

You can't just say whether it's good or not, right?

But Yin Jun, a bystander, felt that Zhou Yunfa could actually be a little more flexible, filming in China in accordance with the rules of China, filming in the United States in accordance with the rules of the United States, considering everyone's interests, as well as the overall interests of the crew and filming, so that most people will like it.

The reason why Zhou Yunfa is reluctant to be flexible is probably because the crew is from the mainland.

When filming in Xiangjiang, I have never said that he is so exquisite.

Leave this matter out of the way.

When he came to the United States to shoot, Yin Jun naturally had plans, especially when he was very demanding, and higher production costs were naturally a matter of course.

The kind of good thing that you want to shoot well and save too much usually doesn't happen.

You can see this from the production costs of hundreds of millions of dollars or two or three hundred million dollars for super blockbusters at every turn.

Giants such as Marvel, Disney, Warner, and Twentieth Century Fox are not fools, so why don't those who can save save money?

Who is willing to give tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of salaries and dividends to those actors?

Idiots will give it willingly!

It's because there is no way to save that the production cost is high!

Of course, that's a special effects blockbuster, and you need to calculate the price of special effects on a per-second basis.

Yin Jun is now making feature films, and the great thing is to use time to grind, so that the actors can run in more and perform more under the camera, so that there will naturally be progress.

The overtime salary and film costs are completely affordable for Yin Jun.

The price calculated by the producers from Lianyi Films, if Yin Jun plans to shoot it in mid-April, may cost about $15 million overall, more than 80% of the standard for similar films.

In this era without special effects, simply talking about the production cost, more than 20 million can be said to be a blockbuster, and more than 40 million is called a super blockbuster.

You can spend $15 million on a feature film, not to mention the cost of publicity, this is already a waste of talent!

After all, you can't just get three or five million dollars for a movie you make for 15 million dollars, right? If you don't spend 7, 800 or 10 million dollars to sell it desperately, it will definitely be even more unworthy.

Only a rich and willful boss and director like Yin Jun can spend so wantonly without worrying about the pressure of returning to the capital.
