Chapter 46: Brother Fu takes over the movie
Su Xiaofan ate something casually, and when he returned to the guest house, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Yanjing in June has not yet reached the hottest time, but when he was on the court in the afternoon, the direct sunlight and heavy physical work, Su Xiaofan felt that he was about to lose half his life.
At this time, Su Xiaofan discovered the awesomeness of the photography practice training room.
He went in with residual blood, then exercised until he died, and when he came out, he was full of blood......
It's just a portable spring water system, emmm~
In the next week, except for the middle two days when he didn't start work, Su Xiaofan worked with Brother Liu for the remaining five days, shooting advertisements such as erotic underwear, sex toys, condoms, and dating apps in the same city......
Seeing Su Xiaofan in good spirits every morning, Brother Liu kept sighing that he was getting old, and Su Xiaofan was about to complete the thirty sets of physical fitness training.
Just when Su Xiaofan was thinking about whether to exchange the SLR from the system and sell it, he happened to encounter a turning point.
Brother Fu finally took over the movie and made it!
This is a modern romance film, and there are many exciting scenes in it, so I specially found Brother Fu as the director of photography.
The filming location of the movie is in Hong Kong City, and the long-term shooting in a different place means that the crew will have food and accommodation.
Not only does Su Xiaofan not have to live in a broken basement, but all the money earned during the period can be saved, and what makes Su Xiaofan's mind more active is that shooting a film for a long time is also an opportunity for him to show his talent!
Through this period of thinking, Su Xiaofan has found the most suitable job for him to do in the crew now.
In the past, because of the small number of shots, the director team generally did not have the position of scene reporter, and the script was usually only available to the director, cameraman and actors.
A field worker like Su Xiaofan didn't even touch the script before the scene was filmed......
But the movie is different,
A movie often has hundreds or thousands of shots, and the director will write a script for each shot to be shot in the early preparation, and then let the scene reporter coordinate and formulate a detailed shooting plan.
During the filming, the camera is shuffled to shoot, assuming that the hero and heroine meet for the first time in a café at the beginning of the movie, and they are still reunited in this café after a long absence at the end of the film.
Although the time span is large, when shooting, in order to save shooting costs and remove unnecessary transition time, they are usually shot together.
Therefore, when making a shooting plan, it is necessary to take into account the shooting location, actor schedule, actor modeling, costumes and props, and special shooting needs (such as diving shooting, aerial photography, blasting, vehicle chase)... and so on.
At the shooting site, the scene notes should also record the details of each shot, such as the lens number, shooting method, lens length, actors' movements and dialogues, sound effects, sets, props, costumes, makeup and other details and data in detail and accurately.
This kind of recording helps the connection between the various shots of the film, provides accurate data and information for the director to continue shooting, reshoot, editing, dubbing, and printing, and assists the director to prevent mistakes such as goofs and overstepping the axis.
This puts forward extremely high requirements for the script memory ability of the scene notes, because it is a scrambled shooting, and the director will consult the scene notes at any time, the content and progress of the shot, and the matters that need to be paid attention to in this shot......
It can be said that the scene recorder is even more familiar with the storyboard script than the director.
And Su Xiaofan, who can focus on reading in the system, is undoubtedly more suitable for memorizing on the spot than anyone else......
After receiving the notice, Su Xiaofan hurriedly went back to Chongxian, got the port city pass, and then rushed back to Yanjing to meet the crew, and arrived at the port city by plane together.
When she went home, her mother saw that Su Xiaofan was sunburned like a loach, and her heart was broken, but Su Min didn't say anything.
In fact, Su Xiaofan also knew that Su Min did this for his own good, he just wanted Su Xiaofan to experience life and know that it was not easy to make money.
It's actually good to have such an experience.
On the second day of arriving in Hong Kong City, at the meeting of the main creative team, Su Xiaofan finally saw the director Qian Dawei this time.
The slightly chubby director looks a little silly, wears big glasses with black lenses, and smiles very kindly.
Qian Dawei worked as an assistant in TVB for more than ten years before becoming a producer, and this work was more than ten years, and he left TVB in recent years and began to make movies.
This is another good news for Su Xiaofan.
The new director means that there is no relatively stable cooperation team, so if Su Xiaofan shows his ability appropriately, he will have a great chance of being favored.
If he is a veteran director, he has established a tacit understanding and relationship with the field reporter in the long-term cooperation, even if Su Xiaofan shows the strength to be perfectly qualified for the field record, others may not use him.
Of course, it's not all good news, because Su Xiaofan saw that Qian Dawei was already following two field notes......
Su Xiaofan felt that he could avoid it, so he tried to avoid it, after all, it was not easy for everyone to beg for food.
The meeting of the main creators was held in the conference room of the hotel, mainly attended by the three groups of directors, photography and art.
Among them, the camera crew only has the director of photography Brother Fu, the handheld photographer Brother Ming, the gaffer Uncle Hui, and the mechanic Brother Liu, a total of four people sitting at the conference table.
Su Xiaofan, Niu San, and even Brother Fu's two apprentices could only stand by and listen.
(Note: Although the lighting team is an independent group in the crew, because the lighting team mainly cooperates with the photographer, the lighting group is usually classified under the photography group.) )
"Okay, the teachers in each group know each other, let's go back and take a look at the drip script, storyboard script, and announcement sheet in our hands, if you have any questions, you will ask them before the drip recording the day after tomorrow. ”
Qian Dawei said with a Hong Kong accent: "That's right, tomorrow afternoon, I will trouble the teachers to go to the venue in person to see if there are any problems in the implementation, and bring it up together the day after tomorrow." ”
After everyone nodded to show their understanding, the main creator meeting ended, and Su Xiaofan and Niu San followed Brother Liu back to the hotel room.
The hotel rooms in Hong Kong City are generally narrow, and Su Xiaofan's room is not big, only two beds, but fortunately, there is a sofa, so Su Xiaofan, who is relatively thin, volunteered to sleep on the sofa.
After Brother Liu returned to the room, he began to look at the storyboard script and the announcement.
As a mechanic, Liu needs to know what photography aids to use when shooting every day, and judge whether this equipment can achieve the effect required by the storyboard script.
When he arrives at the site, he also has to consider whether the equipment can be used, if the notice says that a large rocker arm is needed, but the venue is a small hotel, then there must be a problem......
At this time, he had to come up with other plans and give Brother Fu a reference choice.
Brother Liu was reading the storyboard script, Niu San was lying on the bed and falling asleep, so Su Xiaofan picked up the script with great interest and read it......
