Chapter 143: Everyone Wants to Save Face
Yoo Kang-yi's eyes have been rolling around since he got out of the car, trying to find anything from the set that looked "unprofessional".
However, it was much more difficult than he had imagined.
After seeing the shooting scene, he not only found out what Su Xiaofan did not do professionally enough, but even deep down, like Ye Guoqiang, he couldn't help but applaud the quality of the shots this time......
Although it is also judged from the aesthetic perspective of ordinary audiences,
After all, he has seen all the films made by Tengjie Media in the past two years, and he can see at a glance who is superior and who is inferior......
Although Tengjie Media is good at making corporate promotional films, it is precisely because they are good at it that they have a set of strict production processes and standards, and the films of each project are produced under this framework, which are all the same and majestic, and the effect is inevitably a bit "routine", lacking a bit of personality and aura.
As a layman, Yoo Kang-yi quickly gave up the idea of finding deficiencies in professionalism, and he was ready to find fault with actors and other aspects.
As a result, he was disappointed again......
Brother Xuan and Zhang Jue's performance today is perfect, not only is their appearance explosive, but standing in a group of female soldiers in the army, their momentum has not been suppressed, and they are even more perfect than the heroines he imagined.
If you have to pick a little thorn, it's that these two girls are too small,
However, an actor of this quality will definitely be famous in a few years, and at that time, the salary is tens of thousands of dollars a day, how can a film with a total cost of only 500,000 yuan be afforded?
In addition, the source of national recruits is usually young people who have just finished high school or college, and they are all around 18-22 years old, and the younger actors are also just in line with the audience of the promotional video.
So this thorn doesn't seem to hold up either......
Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly found that the photographer's shooting equipment seemed to be different from what he remembered.
Although there are also a lot of auxiliary accessories on it, each interface is full of various lines, which is a bit unclear.
But Liu Kangyi saw it at a glance, this is just a small Panasonic mirrorless, he saw it last time in Lao Wu's house, when Lao Wu also blew with him for a long time, just after he thought it was very expensive and asked the price, only to know that it was not even a mirrorless camera of less than 10,000......
How can you use this kind of bargain for less than 10,000 to shoot such a professional promotional video?!
"When Tengjie Media made a film for us last year, it seemed to use that...... Alai's camera can shoot 4K!" Liu Kangyi reprimanded rhetorically, "I heard that a machine costs more than 300,000 yuan, and you use a micro-mirror of less than 10,000 to shoot, isn't it too child's play?"
Hearing Liu Kangyi's analysis, Ye Guoqiang also felt that the price of this equipment was a bit different, he couldn't help frowning, turned his head to look at Ye Yang's side, and then looked at Su Xiaofan with some doubts, waiting for his explanation.
Faced with Liu Kangyi's questioning, Su Xiaofan was suddenly a little speechless.
This person's ability to find fault really made Su Xiaofan a little admired......
In fact, this situation is quite common, and the most typical is the wedding market.
After the launch of the Canon 5D2, with its excellent video shooting capabilities, the first field that became popular was actually in the field of wedding shooting, and later gradually expanded to the field of commercials and micro-films.
Although the performance is superior, in the wedding field, 5D2 is not welcomed, and the reason is very simple.
Compared to the outdated and worthless large cameras that were eliminated from the TV station, 5D2 is so small that it doesn't look professional at all!
When you get married, you just want to be like a star, and you want to take a big fart machine to shoot your hair?
Better picture quality?
Shallow depth of field?
Shooting people more beautifully?
Layered?
It's useful, what people want is face!
But Ye Yang's small machine, armed with the accessories brought by Brother Liu, doesn't it look like a micro-mirror at all, okay?
External battery, camera expansion monitor, director monitor, signal splitter, professional matte box, focusing bullwhip......
No matter how you look at it, this is professional equipment with full combat effectiveness, and even professionals may not be able to recognize it at a glance, but Liu Kangyi's eyes are quite sharp......
Su Xiaofan's eyes rolled, and he quickly thought of how to deal with it.
"Secretary Liu, you are too worried, there is a reason why we chose this machine to shoot. Su Xiaofan said in a deep voice, "First of all, the camera is just a tool for film and television creation, if the quality of the work depends on the value of the creative tool, then why do we still cultivate film and television talents?
"You are a soldier, so it may be difficult to understand this, but we can change the analogy, do you think that we can greatly improve the combat capability of the army by simply introducing advanced weapons and equipment? Give our pilots an F22, and our combat effectiveness will certainly be stronger than our own J-10?"
"Hmm......" Liu Kangyi muttered, "It depends on the situation, but most of the time, advanced equipment and combat effectiveness must be strong......"
"I don't think so," Su Xiaofan retorted, "Do our pilots know how to fly American fighter planes? Do they have corresponding maintenance facilities? Can they be repaired if something goes wrong?"
"This ...... Isn't there still scientific research value? If you really want to give us an American fighter plane, you won't understand it after dismantling and analyzing it. ”
“……”
Su Xiaofan rubbed his eyes and said helplessly, "You're going to get away...... I'm just using an analogy. In other words, isn't our Xinhua Kingdom liberated by millet and rifles?"
"Actually, what I want to say is that whether it's making movies or fighting wars, the core is still people. The equipment is the best thing to use, and it is best to use the actual situation to shoot promotional videos, but the volume of the material is too large, and it takes a lot of time to transcode and compress it in the later stage, and the editing cycle will be extended, so we are not in a hurry to use this film? I think we should save more time to figure out how to cut it in the post, instead of sitting and waiting for the material to be transcoded......
Liu Kangyi wanted to refute, but Su Xiaofan didn't give him a chance at all, and continued: "Besides, our film is not shown in the cinema, right?"
"Of course, the higher the resolution of the movie theater, the better, but this film is played on TV and the Internet, and the high-definition resolution is completely sufficient, and no matter how high the playback equipment is, it is not in vain? Without this need, you have to work thanklessly to complete the equipment, isn't it the same as Uzbekistan's fleet in the Aral Sea...... Secretary Liu must not be the kind of person who retreats, right?"
“……”
Hearing Su Xiaofan's last words, Liu Kangyi's brows couldn't help jumping.
"Director Su has a point, I'm actually just a layman talking casually, which makes Director Su laugh. ”
Although he was very unhappy, he had to nod his head in agreement, indicating that he was not a retreat person.
"Where, where," Su Xiaofan also hurriedly said, "Secretary Liu can see everything, it can be seen that we must be very careful in our work, we have to learn from you, how dare you laugh at you." ”
After the two exchanged a few more polite words, Su Xiaofan excused himself to shoot in a hurry and stopped talking nonsense with him.
Seeing this, Ye Guoqiang, who was next to him, still admired Su Xiaofan's on-the-spot adaptability.
The people who can make or dare to make Liu Kangyi deflated, to be honest, he really hasn't seen a few, let alone that Su Xiaofan is just a college student.
At this time, he looked at Liu Kangyi again, and just found that a trace of coldness flashed in Liu Kangyi's eyes......
Ye Guoqiang pondered for a moment, then sighed thoughtfully, and turned around and left without bothering Su Xiaofan any longer.
