Zhang Ran filmed "One Man Lights Up", in addition to liking this story, the most important point is that he wants to try multi-voice montage, and several shots in the first scene of the movie involve the use of a variety of montage techniques, which have high requirements for the movement of the film's lenses, color, sound, etc. Therefore, Zhang Ran did not dare to be careless, and he had to check every link on the scene.
After nearly an hour of busy work at the scene, except for the lighting, other preparations had been completed, and then Zhang Ran changed into a costume and came to the makeup car to prepare for makeup.
When Zhang Ran walked into the makeup car, Zhang Jingchu and Li Xuejian were rehearsing in front of the makeup table. Li Xuejian sat on a chair with his eyes closed and his face covered with foam, looking very relaxed, while Zhang Jingchu was holding a razor and was carefully shaving him.
Zhang Ran ignored them, found a place to sit down, waved at the makeup artist, and motioned for her to hurry up and put on her makeup.
The stylist is also an old man in the crew and has rich experience, and Zhang Ran's makeup is very simple, and it didn't take long for Zhang Ran's modeling to be completed. The stylist took a closer look at Zhang Ran's style compared to the makeup photos, felt very satisfied, and asked, "Director, what do you think?"
Zhang Ran looked in the mirror and nodded with a smile: "Very good, this is what I want!" He stood up, patted Zhang Jingchu, and said to the two who were still rehearsing: "It's time for official shooting, let's go!"
The three returned to the barbershop, Zhang Jingchu and Li Xuejian came to the outside of the performance area, waiting for the performance, and Zhang Ran came to the assistant director Wu Ershan and asked him how he was doing with his preparations.
Among the twelve students of the Asian Film Academy, Wu Ershan is not the most talented or creative, but among all the students, Zhang Ran likes him the most. This time to shoot "One Man Puts on the Lights", Zhang Ran called him over and asked him to be his assistant director.
Ning Hao and Ding Sheng both served as Zhang Ran's assistant directors first, and then directed the movie alone, and eventually became popular all over China, so Wu Ershan also cherished this opportunity. In front of Zhang Ran, he was very respectful, no different from ordinary students: "Teacher Zhang, you are all ready, you can officially start filming." ”
"Very good, then let everyone hurry up and get in place, and I'll be in place immediately!" Zhang Ran was about to appear in this scene, so naturally he couldn't sit leisurely behind the monitor and watch the picture, he patted Wu Ershan on the shoulder, "Wu Ershan, I'll leave it to you below, if you find a problem, stop it directly, don't have any worries!"
"Teacher Zhang, don't worry. Urshan nodded firmly, as if as a reassurance.
The on-site staff were in place one after another, the actors were in place, and everyone looked at Wu Ershan, waiting for his password.
Wu Ershan took a deep breath, his heart was both excited and nervous, this is the first scene of the movie, and the starring roles are Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu and Li Xuejian, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! He exhaled and said loudly: "Let's officially start filming!" Then he began to shout the password: "Turn on! Hit the board!"
With the sound of Wu Ershan's password, the filming of the movie "One Man Lights Up" officially began.
Zhang Jingchu beckoned Li Xuejian to sit down, put a white apron in front of Li Xuejian, she stepped on one of the handles of the chair hard, and raised the chair; she picked up an electric hair clipper from the dressing table, and then picked up a comb, and carefully cut Li Xuejian's hair; after cutting for a while, he picked up a pair of silver scissors and began to trim the details of his hair.
After cutting for a while, Zhang Jingchu felt almost done, put down the comb and scissors, took the brush and applied foam, and gently smeared it on Li Xuejian's chin, coating half of his face with snow-white foam. Immediately afterwards, she pressed Li Xuejian's face with her left hand, and gently shaved his face with a razor with her right hand, her eyes were soft, her movements were gentle, and she looked very professional.
Li Xuejian seemed to enjoy this feeling and closed his eyes comfortably.
According to Zhang Ran's design, the content of this part of the scene will be deleted, and the picture will not appear in the movie, only the sound will be retained. The film will begin with a four- or five-minute black screen in which the audience can only hear a variety of sounds.
If it were other directors, this part of the sound would definitely be produced in the form of post-synthesis, but Zhang Ran wanted a real effect, so he used the method of real shooting.
Zhang Jingchu and Li Xuejian knew that Zhang Ran's requirements were very high, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and meticulously presented the whole process of the haircut; they did not dare to be careless, carrying the camera and aiming the camera tightly at Zhang Jingchu's face; Wu Ershan stared intently at the monitor screen, for fear of any mistakes.
Five minutes later, Li Xuejian opened his eyes. Zhang Jingchu saw him open his eyes, frowned slightly, gestured with his hand, and babbled in his mouth, as if asking if he was hurting.
The picture in the monitor is still a close-up, and it is still Zhang Jingchu's face, but Wu Ershan's nerves tensed instantly, his eyes widened, staring at Zhang Jingchu in the camera. Because according to Zhang Ran's design, the moment Li Xuejian opened his eyes, the movie began to have a picture, that is, the real performance began.
After Zhang Jingchu finished the comparison, Li Xuejian smiled at Jingchu, gestured in his hand and said, I'm fine, you continue to scrape. Zhang Jingchu was relieved, smiled, and continued to shave Li Xuejian with the razor in her hand.
At the same time, the camera lens slowly began to pull back, from close-up to medium shot, and finally to a large panorama. In the shot, Zhang Jingchu bowed down, holding a razor and shaving Li Xuejian intently.
Wu Ershan, who was behind the monitor, was a little stunned when he watched this scene, and at this moment, he felt as if he was really in a barbershop, watching all this like a customer waiting for a haircut. He sighed in his heart, this is the real performance, no, this is not a performance, Jingchu is really shaving Teacher Li!
At that moment, the camera pans to the right and points to the barbershop door. In the camera, Zhang Ran walked in from outside the store, he looked at Zhang Jingchu, his eyes were shining with tenderness, he chuckled lightly, and sat down on the stool next to him.
The first shot ended here, and Wu Ershan was very satisfied with the whole performance, picked up the walkie-talkie, and shouted: "Very good, this shot is here." Take a break, everyone!"
This shot lasted nearly six minutes, and everyone was a little tired. Hearing Wu Ershan's words, the handheld camera put down the camera, the boom operator put down the boom, Zhang Jingchu sat directly on the chair, and the whole scene relaxed.
After Zhang Ran heard Wu Ershan's password, he immediately walked out of the barber shop and came to a small blue shed in the courtyard, where Wu Ershan, the monitor and the director team were all here, which was the headquarters of the crew.
Entering the command center, Zhang Ran turned up the lens he had just taken and looked at it carefully. He was very satisfied with the whole performance, everyone acted very well and there were almost no flaws. However, the most important thing in this shot is the sound, and only if the sound is not flawed can it pass. Zhang Ran asked the staff of the special effects team to cut out all the pictures in front of Li Xuejian's eyes, and then let the sound recorded by the recording team be synthesized with the picture to see what the final effect was.
Soon, the synthesized shot was presented in front of Zhang Ran, there was no picture in the shot, it was pitch black, nothing could be seen, only all kinds of sounds could be heard, the buzzing of the electric hair clipper, the click of scissors cutting hair, the snorting of shaving, these sounds appeared one after another, describing the whole process of the haircut to everyone in detail.
After the screen went black for five minutes, the picture flashed, and Zhang Jingchu appeared in the camera and asked Li Xuejian if he was hurt.
Zhang Ran pressed pause, turned the camera back to the beginning, and restarted the playback, listening carefully to every sound in it.
After listening to it several times, Zhang Ran finally shook his head slowly and said, "No, the sound didn't achieve the effect I wanted, and it had to be reshot." ”
Zhang Ran came out of the command headquarters, walked into the barbershop, called the actor and the boom operator, looked at the boom operator and said: "I told you, our lens is very complicated, there are many changes, there are various changes, there is a change that is first an objective lens, then becomes a subjective lens, and finally becomes an objective lens, I hope that the sound also needs to change with the change of the lens." I just listened to it, and the difference between the two is not particularly obvious. There are differences, but you have to pay special attention to notice, and I hope it can be more obvious, and the subjective camera should be loud enough that the audience feels as if the sound is ringing in our ears. Got it?"
The boom operator nodded, "I see!"
Zhang Ran patted the shoulder of the boom operator, motioned for him to come on, and then said loudly: "Each group prepares, let's do it again!"
The whole crew moved, and filming resumed. But this time it still didn't pass, and it was a problem with the voice. Next, it took three more shots to get Zhang Ran's approval, and it was difficult to pass.
The most complicated scene of the first scene of the movie is the first shot, and after this scene passes, it is basically a rivalry between the actors. Zhang Ran and the others were very well prepared, and their acting skills were good enough, so the whole shooting became very easy, basically just one or two.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the crew finally ushered in the last shot of the first scene, which was the scene where Lao Huang passed by with steel slag and walked out of the barbershop.
Zhang Ran sat on the stool, crossed Erlang's legs, put his right hand on his knee, and looked at Zhang Jingchu who greeted the guests with gentle eyes; Li Xuejian, who was walking outside the store after the haircut, passed by Zhang Ran, when he passed by Zhang Ran, he glanced back at Zhang Ran's hand, as if he had found something, and suddenly looked back at Zhang Ran's hand, and then he frowned and walked out of the barbershop.
After the filming of this scene, Zhang Ran returned to the command center, and after turning the camera out and watching it twice, he said with great emotion: "Teacher Li is really amazing, this scene is so good, it is really weightless!"
Li Xuejian's acting skills are good, everyone knows it, but this scene is extremely simple, that is, when he passed by Zhang Ran, the cocoon on Zhang Ran's hand attracted his attention, and when he looked back, there was no difficulty. But Zhang Ran sighed like this, and Wu Ershan was very puzzled: "It doesn't look special, what's the good place?"
Zhang Ran smiled faintly, re-dialed the picture, pointed to the screen and said, "Seeing that Mr. Li didn't turn around, he looked back first, and then immediately turned back quickly and watched again." This action seems very simple, right? But I dare to say that less than one percent of our domestic actors can do this action with ease like him!"
Wu Ershan couldn't believe his ears, isn't it just a shot of looking back, how can only one percent of actors be able to do it? But Wu Ershan also believed that Zhang Ran would not talk nonsense, and couldn't help asking: "How can it be so difficult?"
Zhang Ran didn't explain, and said with a faint smile: "You try, you'll understand when you try it!"
