In the Nortel standard screening hall, the crew is busy. At this moment, the shooting work has reached the last shot, and as long as this shot is passed, the filming of "Burst Drummer" is successfully completed.

This shot is a shot of Zhou Zheng directing the entire orchestra to perform with a drumstick, conquering Chen Wei, the two looking at each other and smiling, and then performing together. On the stage of the standard screening hall, the members of the band are holding their respective instruments, waiting for the performance to begin; Zhou Jielun is sweating profusely and sitting behind the drum kit, holding the drumstick in both hands, with a smile on his face, looking full of confidence; Feng Yuanlu stands in the middle of the stage, the warm yellow light is shining down from his head, and his eyes are in shadow, looking a little hideous.

In the audience under the stage, there were rows of extras, all of whom were Nortel students. This lens can blur out the background with a long focal length and a wide aperture, and does not require the entire theater to be full.

There were two cameras in front of the stage, one of which was carried by Zhao Fei to shoot Jay Chou, and the other by the camera assistant to shoot Feng Yuanyi, and Zhang Ran did not look at the monitors, but stared at the two actors.

Feng Yuan's eyes were gentle, the expression on his face was not only satisfied but also satisfied, he smiled at Zhou Jielun, Zhou Jielun was also smiling, he knew that his performance not only conquered the teacher Chen Wei, but the current judges also saw that his dream was about to come true.

Feng Yuanyi waved his hands forward, the band began to play, Zhou Jielun used all his strength to beat the drum frantically, the drumsticks flew up and down in his hands, and big drops of sweat dripped from his head.

Zhao Fei carried the camera, first filmed Feng Yuanyi's back waving his hand forward, and then pushed the camera forward and pushed it towards Zhou Jielun. The whole shot was first a close-up shot of Feng Yuanlun, then an over-the-shoulder shot showing the relationship between Jay Chou and Feng Yuanyi, and finally a close-up shot of Jay Chou.

The whole shot, from Feng Yuan's stunned wave to Jay Chou's holding a drumstick, was done in one go, it was perfect. Zhang Ran was very excited and shouted: "Stop!"

The entire crew stopped, and all eyes were focused on Zhang Ran, waiting for him to give the result. Zhang Ran looked at the monitor again, and then glanced at Ning Hao next to him, Ning Hao smiled at Zhang Ran with a smile, and nodded, indicating that there was no problem with the sound and picture.

"This shot has passed!" Zhang Ran stood up and shouted.

The whole crew suddenly burst into warm applause, everyone applauded desperately, and the entire set became a sea of joy in an instant.

This film has gone through too many twists and turns from preparation to start-up, investors withdraw, actors withdraw, after the start of filming, Zhou Jie's rotation could not have the desired effect, and various other problems were backlogged on the crew. After countless hardships and obstacles, now that the movie is finally finished, the excitement is simply irrepressible.

"Finally finished filming!" Zhang Ran's heart was like a tidal wave, with ups and downs. He patted Ning Hao on the shoulder, and then shook hands with the entire director team one by one: "These days, it's been hard!"

Everyone shook hands and responded: "Director, you have worked hard too!"

Shaking hands with the people of the director team, Zhang Ran walked up to Zhao Fei and shook hands with him: "Teacher Zhao, hard work!"

Zhao Fei held Zhang Ran's hand and said with a smile: "I thought it would be easier to go back to China to make a movie, but I didn't expect your kid to be so demanding, and you are about to catch up with Woody Allen's pervert." ”

Domestic film shooting is often set on a tripod, and the lens does not move. Hollywood movies are mostly shoulder-carryed, so the lenses of Hollywood movies tend to have a slight shaky. This is more in line with the visual characteristics of people, people will not be absolutely still, they will move, and the picture taken by shoulder-carrying will be real.

Zhang Ran not only requires the shooting to be carried on the shoulder, but also has very high requirements for lighting, and he treats every shot as a painting. In order to meet his requirements, Zhao Fei really put a lot of effort into it.

"Next time, I'll try to get closer to him!" Zhang Ran laughed. Zhao Fei is worthy of being a photographer who has worked with the master, and Zhang Ran has learned a lot through his cooperation.

At this time, Ning Hao came over with a loudspeaker, handed it to Zhang Ran, and asked him to say a few words. Zhang Ran looked at the surrounding crew, looked at Jay Chou, Feng Yuan and the actors, the art team, the recording team, etc., he said loudly to the speaker: "Everyone, let me say two words!"

The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Ran's body.

The director is a technical worker, and directors from different backgrounds often have different characteristics. The director is from a professional class, and basically does not interfere with the photography for framing, and the photographer mainly communicates with the director whether the shot lens is enough for storytelling, aperture, focal length, and lighting do not need to be ignored, and all are handed over to the director of photography. If you are a director with a background in photography, the cinematographer will be reduced to the cameraman, and the director will give instructions directly to the cinematographer and gaffer.

When a director like Xiao Si is not touched, the whole crew revolves around the cameraman or around the producer during filming, and what does the director have to do? That is, when a TV station is filming, a reporter sits in front of the monitor and pretends to shout "card" when he is interviewing, and then calls the actor over and says a few words, as if he is really directing.

Zhang Ran is different, he is similar to the kind of director who climbs up step by step from the bottom, he is very proficient in various techniques of film, and he can judge whether the camera position is right with his afterglow, whether the color temperature of the light is right, and whether the actor's emotions are in place. There is a lot of pressure to work under this kind of director, they are too professional, they know more than you, and in order to avoid being scolded, all the members of the crew will silently use all their strength to do their job well.

In fact, in terms of temper, Zhang Ran is rare and gentle, always with a smile on his face, and rarely scolds, even if NG is more than a hundred times, he does not lose his temper, but thinks about what method to use to guide him, so that the actor can better perform this scene.

For such a professional and gentle director, almost all the staff of the crew are sincerely admired.

Zhang Ran took the horn and bowed down and said, "Everyone, the filming of "Bursting Drummer" is over. These days, everyone is busy from morning to night, it's really hard!"

The theater members did not speak, but responded with applause. Zhang Ran continued: "The preparation of the film began with the preparation and ended today, during which there were many difficulties, without everyone's support, the film would not have been completed, so I want to say thank you to everyone!"

Making a movie is definitely not an easy job, everyone only sees the wonderful pictures on the screen but doesn't know the effort behind it, and the crew is often unknown. The crew applauded desperately, and the applause was so warm that it could almost overturn the roof.

Zhang Ran raised his voice and said: "Our movie has an important opponent, Zhang Zhiliang's "Bloody Notes". I am deeply grateful that everyone chose to stay and believe in me. When the movie comes out a few months later, when you actually see the movie, I'm sure you won't regret your choice. Because it's going to be a very good movie, really, really good! When the time comes, our film will beat them, and our film will be unstoppable!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran announced loudly: "The crew has arranged a finale banquet tonight, everyone should eat, drink, and rest as soon as everyone gets drunk!"

"Get drunk!" everyone cheered.

If it is a crew with a lot of newcomers, when it is finished, it is often because everyone is about to separate, women will cry, and men will be a little sentimental. But the crew of "Bursting Drummer" is different, the members of the crew are all from Qingying Studio, and they are the old team of "Time Prisoner", and even the actors have many acquaintances, so except for a few people including Jay Chou, who are a little sentimental, most of them are happy.

The finale banquet was held in the hotel where Zhang Ran and the others lived, which had the advantage that they could go back to the room to sleep if they drank too much. The finale banquet was very lively, even Zhang Jingchu and the actors who left the crew after filming their scenes rushed back, and more than 100 people sat at the wine table and laughed, and the scene was very warm.

Zhang Ran was surrounded by a group of people and kept toasting, and the other staff and actors also toasted each other. Zhang Ran knew that if there was no support from everyone, the crew would have dispersed on the day Yu Minghai withdrew his investment, so he did not refuse to come, and kept clinking glasses and drinking with others.

"Director, I really learned a lot from coming to make a movie this time. Thank you very much!" Jay Chou held his wine glass with mixed feelings.

Zhang Ran was happy to hear Jay Chou say this, patted him on the shoulder hard, and said drunkenly: "Don't thank me! Actually, I should thank you, if you don't act, I don't know how long it will take to find a suitable actor!" After speaking, Zhang Ran quietly attached to Jay Chou's ear and said: "To be honest, I invited you completely for your fame, I didn't expect you to act so well, you acted really well!"

Jay Chou said with a smile: "Director, our film will sign up for the Golden Horse Awards, and when you come to Taipei, I will take you everywhere to play!"

Zhang Ran is not very interested in the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse, and it doesn't mean much to him to win these awards, unlike the awards of the film festival, where he can sell more money if he wins the awards. However, considering that if he can win the award, it will also be an affirmation for the crew, at least everyone feels that their work is not in vain, he thinks it is better to sign up, and said with a smile: "I will sign up, you have a good chance to win the best newcomer!"

Zhou Jielun smiled and waved his hand: "Don't make fun of me, I don't know my acting skills!"

The wine was drunk very happily, and then everyone completely let go, and Jay Chou jumped directly onto the table and sang "Nunchuck" with a wine bottle. Jay Chou's assistant's face turned green, and he quickly pulled him down, if he was photographed by media reporters, his image would be completely ruined.

The finale banquet didn't end until 11 o'clock in the evening, and nearly half of the crew fell on the table, and Zhang Ran was naturally no exception.
