Chapter 278 of the text is too advanced

Next chapter

What I'm going to shoot today is Zhang Ziyi seeing the killer disappear out of thin air at the scene of the congressman's murder, which reminded her of some of what Jason said two years ago, so she came to Jason's house to find clues from him. But now Jason has become a madman, with a scruffy beard. Scenes with beards must be placed at the front, otherwise it will be more troublesome to shoot after the beard is shaved off.

Zhang Ziyi rode on a motorcycle with a very futuristic shape, and when the "start" command sounded, she got off the motorcycle and walked towards the door of the villa.

Zhang Ziyi was wearing a heavy SWAT uniform and a helmet, and her face could not be seen. However, with her head turning incessantly, Zhang Ran could still feel her vigilance. The future world is a world with a swelling population and a very high level of crime, and as heavy SWAT, they must maintain this vigilance.

This shot is a waiting long shot, in which the actor walks towards the camera and then passes by the camera, and the Iranian film master Abbas is famous for his waiting long shots. With this lens, the image has a strong sense of depth and a strong sense of space.

Zhang Ziyi walked towards the camera with heavy steps, she seemed to see something, her body froze slightly, and then quickened her pace and walked out of the camera.

Zhang Ran was very satisfied with Zhang Ziyi's performance, and after shouting to stop, he was about to ask how the recording was. The sound engineer shouted, "Director, noise interference!"

Zhang Ran felt strange, the scene was very quiet, where did the noise come from. He walked over to the recording crew, picked up his headphones, and motioned for the recording engineer to turn on the sound.

The sound of farting is listened to in the recording headphones, and it is really earth-shattering. It was the first time Zhang Ran heard such a loud fart sound, and he was directly overturned by thunder. Who put this? It can't be Zhang Ziyi, right?

In fact, it doesn't matter who puts it, Zhang Ran doesn't have the heart to dwell on this. But this shot definitely doesn't work, it has to be reshot!

Zhang Ran returned to his position and called Zhang Ziyi over: "Ziyi, the performance just now was very good. Although he was wearing a helmet, he still performed the vigilance of the SWAT. And you have a pause, and that pause should be your reaction when you see that you become Jason, which is very good!

Zhang Ziyi seemed to be stimulated by something. He coughed violently.

Zhang Ran asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Ziyi waved her hand: "I'm fine, director!" It's also thanks to her wearing a helmet, otherwise Zhang Ran would definitely be able to see a flushed face. Zhang Ran said that Zhang Ziyi didn't see Jason, but let out a fart.

Zhang Ran saw that Zhang Ziyi was fine. He didn't say anything more, and said loudly: "Let's do it all over again, each group prepares!"

Filming restarted, this time it was smooth and there were no problems with the sound. After getting an affirmative answer. Zhang Ran went to the DIT digital workstation not far from the monitor to check the shooting results.

Traditionally, film directors can watch the actors' performances on monitors, but the images seen by the monitors are different from those captured by the cameras, and the monitors cannot react to many things such as focal length changes and colors, so they cannot see the actual picture effect.

After the Hollywood film is filmed, it will be sent to the film studio for printing, and the next day when the sample comes out, the director can see if there is a problem with the lens; there is no Hollywood condition in China, and after all the scenes are filmed, the film will be developed intensively, and then the director will know what his film is like.

With DIT technology, you can see the final result on set, while the digital camera is shooting. There will be a wireless transmitter that sends the footage to a workstation set up by DIT, and they have a system that can accept such a signal. After receiving this signal, the footage just shot is stored in the zài computer. The director can use the guò monitor to view the footage he has just shot, and the workstation will use the guò network cable to quickly copy the shot to the hard drive of the editor next to him, so that the editor can edit directly on the spot.

DIT is a new technology that has just come out in the past two years, not to mention Ding Sheng, Zhao Fei, or Luc Besson. They all gathered around the digital workstation to see how the DIT would in action.

The digital work was connected to a 15-inch laptop movie, and the DI engineer clicked the play button, and the shot just shot appeared on the monitor.

After playing it a few times. Zhang Ran didn't find a problem and asked Luc Besson: "What do you think?"

"No blemishes, it's a great result!"

"The composition, zoom, and performance of the shots were fine, which was great!"

Zhang Ran nodded. Said to the DI photographer next to him: "Please adjust the color, and turn all the leaves in the background to yellow, because the story takes place in autumn." Can it be done?"

The opter, with some pride, said, "Of course, you can get any color and contrast you want!"

After speaking, the photographer manipulated the machine and circled the tree in the picture with the mouse. Then select green and adjust the color according to Zhang Ran's requirements.

Zhang Ran kept making requests: "The tree is too brown, lighten it! The color of the leaves is a little lighter......

In less than five minutes, the green leaves turn golden yellow, and the picture changes from spring to autumn.

Luc Besson nodded slightly, this thing is so easy to use, my company's next movies can use this technology, which can save a lot of trouble.

Ding Sheng was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but say: "This is too advanced, just get the color done right on the spot!"

"In the next shot, the trees will be graded according to this just now!" Zhang Ran said to the optometrist, stood up and shouted, "The next shot is ready!"

The members of the crew took action, pulling the camera and adjusting the dimming of the lights. The actor's assistant director, Tong Guò Earphone, informed Reeves, who was resting in the RV, and Lu Yan, who played the mother, to prepare for the show.

……

Suddenly there was a noise outside the courtyard, and immediately after, more than twenty people rushed in.

Zhang Ziyi was surprised to find that she recognized some of these people, such as Dr. Jiang Zhexin, played by Liang Jiahui, and several senior officials at Interpol headquarters. Others turned out to be heavily armed soldiers.

"Why are you here?" Liang Jiahui turned into an old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face, he was sixty-seven years old, he was a little surprised to see Zhang Ziyi, "What do you know?"

As soon as he said this, he realized that there was something wrong with his words, and quickly changed the subject: "I mean, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Ziyi frowned slightly, she had an intuition that the appearance of these people here was related to the case she investigated. Quietly, he said, "I'll talk to Jason." ”

"Let's talk?" Liang Jiahui looked at Zhang Ziyi's face suspiciously, "Then I have to interrupt you." Now I have to take this person with me. ”

Zhang Ziyi was even more convinced of this, and immediately said, "Please wait a minute, we were talking about the key place just now. He may have something to do with the 'murder of the parliamentarian yesterday!'

Liang Jiahui's eyes flashed, and he stared at Zhang Ziyi: "It seems that we have to take you with us." He gestured, and the heavily armed soldiers gathered around.

Seeing this, Zhang Ziyi immediately took out a pistol, aimed it at the soldier walking towards her, and shouted, "Don't move!"

Smack. More than a dozen soldiers aimed their weapons at Zhang Ziyi, ready to fire at any time.

The air at the scene was frozen, and the tension was suffocating.

"Very good, stop!" Zhang Ran shouted.

After making sure that there was no problem with the sound and picture, Zhang Ran stood up and announced: "This is the end of today's shooting, everyone has worked hard!"

All the people at the scene were applauding, which was not only an affirmation of the day's work, but also an affirmation of themselves.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the directors of the crew, producers Neil and Luc Besson. Photographer Zhao Fei had a meeting in the conference room of the hotel to discuss the shooting plan for the day after tomorrow. The filming plan of the Hollywood crew was sent to everyone at the end of the day. They have to finalize the shooting plan the day after tomorrow so that the production team can make a detailed plan and send it to everyone at the end of the day tomorrow.

Zhang Ran saw that everyone had arrived, so he said, "Everyone has arrived, let's discuss the shooting plan the day after tomorrow." ”

Luc Besson reminded: "The people from the insurance company haven't come yet, wait!"

Zhang Ran pressed his head: "How did I forget about them!"

The Chinese members of the crew all shook their heads helplessly, and when filming in China, the director and producer had the final say. But now the insurance company is the best, and everyone is a little unaccustomed.

Most of the funds for "Time and Space Warriors" were obtained through guò financing, such as Zhang Ran, who mortgaged the pre-sale contract and borrowed 30 million from the bank. To obtain these financings. The other party asked the insurance company to provide a guarantee for the completion of the film. To put it simply, the insurance company guarantees that the film will definitely be filmed and will not die halfway. As long as the film can be filmed, the pre-sale contract can be fulfilled and the investor can recoup the investment.

The company that provides the completion guarantee guarantees that the film project will be completed on time. If the film exceeds the budget, the insurance company will pay for the overspending. Once the insurance company loses money, they take over the rights to make the film, and if necessary, they can even fire the producer and replace the director.

In order to ensure that the film is completed on time and does not exceed the budget, the insurance company will closely monitor the movie, will review every expenditure of the movie, and all expenses must be signed by them before they can be cashed. They watch all the footage on site during the shooting, and ask the producer to submit regular reports.

With the introduction of a completion guarantee, the investor has actually set up a set of strict production management processes for the producer to truly ensure that the funds are implemented. There is no such system for mainland films, and investors are treated as fools by directors, especially some Xiangjiang directors who are ruthless, a straw hat is thousands of yuan, and a prop knife is hundreds of thousands.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, someone from the insurance company came. After they sat down, Zhang Ran put forward his opinion, it would be better to film Jason's scene in the mental hospital the day after tomorrow.

The people of the insurance company objected: "Expensive and risky shots must be shot first, and car chase scenes must be placed in front to help reduce the risk of filming!"

For Zhang Ran, the difference between which one to shoot first and which one to shoot later is not particularly big. There's no point in arguing with insurance companies, because they can't cash the check if they don't agree. He nodded and said, "Yes, then the day after tomorrow will shoot a car chase!"

Next, Zhang Ran and the others began to select the shots, selecting the scenes that had to be filmed on the street, and the ones that could be shot on the green screen in the studio were placed in the back. By the time they were done, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and many people had already gone to bed.

Coming out of the conference room, Zhang Ran looked at Luc Besson and said: "The insurance company is keeping an eye on it, I can't wait for us to finish filming the day after tomorrow, and I won't send you tomorrow!"

Luc Besson smiled and said: "Now your most important task is to make a good movie, and making a good movie is better than anything else!"

Zhang Ran nodded: "Don't worry, our movie will definitely be a big success!" He looked at the time: "It's late, you rest early." I'm going to take a look at my students!" The students in Zhang Ran's class were scattered by him and divided into various groups as assistants, and they worked all day today, and I don't know how they feel.

Luc Besson looked at Zhang Ran's distant back and shook his head, and sighed softly: "It's a very good young director, it's really a pity to end up like this!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
