Chapter 159: Ready to Shoot
Grand View Studio, Studio A.
"Put the lights here, put them here. β
"Where's the carpet?"
"Ahββ, be careful!"
"It's a little messy on the table. β
ββ¦β¦β
There was a lot of noise in the whole studio, and the interior of a two-story western-style building had been built. As the assistant director and chief props master, Hu Jinquan is directing the workers to carry out the final check and fill in the gaps.
"Wait a minute, I and Zhannian will walk down the stairs together, your camera must follow me, don't change the middle shot, move back and down at a uniform speed, okay?"
Standing in front of an unusually brand-new elevator, Yang Qiu held the already drawn storyboard script in his hand, followed Wang Deliang and Zhao Shushen, and explained the effect he wanted to shoot.
"It should ...... OK. Zhao Shushen touched his chin and said, "As long as the lift and slide rail can be coordinated well, this lens is not difficult." β
Yang Qiu looked at the two who were thinking about it and asked, "Do you want us to try it first?"
"Yes. β
This year, Yang Qiu sighed in his heart, it is really not easy to play two fancy shots.
For example, this downstairs shot, if you are not afraid that the picture is a little dull, just use the panoramic fixed lens to shoot the entire corridor into it, but Yang Qiu obviously doesn't like this, he wants to shoot a person-centered, downstairs following shot.
That's going to be hard.
If there were rockers and monitors in later generations, a person who went downstairs to follow the camera would only be simple, but unfortunately there were no two things in the world these days.
Fortunately, Daguan also has lifts and rails, which makes it several difficulties to shoot this shot.
If the two work well together, they can also achieve good results.
As for why Zhao Shushen is also next to the camera, of course he is the photographer who did this scene, his old friend Wang Deliang is responsible for ensuring the beauty of the lens, and he is responsible for providing technical support.
In fact, Zhao Shushen is also a photographer, and he directed and photographed many scenes in Daguan, but obviously his talent in photography is not very outstanding.
The three of them said that they wanted to try out the play, so they were busy with each other.
Yang Qiu plays the role of his father in this, which is a small role, and the role is not as much as Yang Meng, who plays the mother, but he is too busy. At this time, as soon as he was about to try out the play, Yang Qiu put the script on the lifting platform and walked up the stairs alone.
Wang Deliang took the lead, climbed onto the lifting platform with a turnover, and opened the lens cover of the camera.
It didn't turn on though.
Zhao Shushen explained to the four or five workers on the lifting platform and the slide rail several times in a row, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wang Deliang and Yang Qiu and asked, "I'm ready, what about you?"
"Alright. β
βOKοΌβ
"Okay, let's try first. Zhao Shushen nodded, raised his hands and said, "Home Alone", the first scene of the audition. β
'Smack' ββ!
As Zhao Shushen's hands clapped together, Yang Qiu's eyes relaxed, and while arranging his cuffs, he looked down at the air on his left and said, "Andy, you can't dislike your brother." β
Before he could wait for half a second, Yang Qiu glanced downstairs again, hurriedly waved his hands, and walked down.
Then, the workers manipulated the elevator all the way down slowly, and then slowly retreated along the track, and the camera always followed Yang Qiu's body.
'Clickββ!'
"How is it?" Yang Qiu looked up at Wang Deliang on the elevator.
"Hmm......" Wang Deliang frowned, and said thoughtfully: "It's a little fast." β
"Soon?" Zhao Shushen glanced at the worker adjusting the elevator and suggested, "Then let's slow down and try again." β
"Good. β
After experimenting seven or eight times, the worker and Wang Deliang finally found their senses, and they began to cooperate tacitly, and Yang Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jinquan! Jinquan!" Yang Qiu shouted twice as he stood beside the elevator.
Within two seconds, I saw Hu Jinquan, who was sweating profusely, running over: "Brother, brother, what's the matter?"
"How's the preparation?"
"Hmm......" Jin Quan looked around, and said hesitantly, "Yes, it should be okay." β
"Should?"
"Well, it seems to be okay. β
"Like?"
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at Hu Jinquan's forehead sweating vigorously, Yang Qiu knew that this guy was a little too nervous for the first time to be an assistant director, so he waved his hand and said, "I don't want to be with it, go to the final check again, and we'll start filming if it's okay." β
"Uh...... , good, good!"
Seeing Hu Jinquan taking the road, Yang Qiu sighed lightly and shook his head, and then looked up at Wang Deliang: "Deliang, you are still working as a freelance videographer outside, my studio has already been built, are you interested in coming to my company at that time?"
"Into the company?" Wang Deliang, who was fiddling with the camera, was slightly stunned.
Yang Qiu nodded and responded, "Yes." β
"Not interested. β
ββ¦β¦β
Wang Deliang's answer was not muddy at all, and he held back Yang Qiu's words.
Thinking about the reason why he was reluctant to join the company, it is understandable.
In these years, the lenses in Xiangjiang movies don't have any technology, and there is not much pursuit of beauty, so the photographers in the film company generally have a monthly salary of only about two hundred and sixty or seven.
On the contrary, they can get an additional honorarium of about 300 for filming a movie.
As a casual photographer, Wang Deliang can run at least six or seven Cantonese films every month, and his income will exceed 2,000 yuan.
As soon as his income fell by more than half, how could he afford to be interested in joining the company.
And now this situation is gradually beginning to appear in actors.
This is especially true for the Cantonese-speaking area.
Yang Qiu heard that there was a big guy in Cantonese films, and he took on three plays at once. One scene in the morning and one scene in the afternoon, and another scene in the evening, and the three dramas were filmed at the same time. And because there are a lot of Cantonese films, this big guy is a drama after a play, and he doesn't have to worry about no filming.
Therefore, the money that this big guy earns a month is comparable to the income of those second-tier actors in Chinese films for a year.
Naturally, it provoked a burst of envy.
Seeing that Wang Deliang had no will, Yang Qiu naturally couldn't force it, so he shook his head in disappointment and went to the group of young actors who were preparing next to him.
The three brothers Jiang Haonian, Jiang Zhannian, and Jiang Weinian, plus the little nephews and nieces of Zhao Shushen's next generation of German characters, such as his brother Zhao Shutai's youngest daughter Zhao Deqi, and his younger brother Zhao Shupei's son Dehui, etc., constitute all the young actors of "Home Alone".
Six or seven children got together and there was a lot of noise.
It's also a little interesting to say, five or six brothers of the Zhao family's generation have entered the film industry, and some of the other brothers have children, but Zhao Shushen is still alone.
Who called this guy twenty-nine years old, he fell in love with a little Lori.
Walking all the way to Jiang Zhanian, Yang Qiu raised his hand and touched the little guy's head, squatted down and said with a smile: "Little guy, it's about to be filming, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, what's there to be afraid of. Xiao Jiannian replied with his head raised like an adult.
"Yo, there is a future!" Yang Qiu praised, raised his head and said: "Sister Hong, it seems that your family advocates the New Year, and you were born to eat this bowl of rice, which is good." β
Hongwei smiled, patted Xiao Zhannian's head dotingly, and did not answer.
However, Er Di, who was in a straight suit next to him, wearing a gray fedora and holding a pipe, couldn't help it, only to see him look around and say, "Boss Yang, you ...... this time It's quite a big deal. β
"Big?" Yang Qiu was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "No matter how big it is, it can't be as big as Yonghua, Er Ye is in Yonghua, it must be strange." β
"Yonghua?" the corners of Er's mouth twitched, and he said with some disgust: "Now Yonghua is a big deal." β
"Huh?"
