"Appearance is stronger than daughter, love is longer than daughter;

Suppose you put on a daughter's outfit;

How many young men want to die. ”

"It's okay to be like a man, it's okay to be like a woman;

If I were a girl;

What about you?"

"There are mandarin ducks on the water, and phoenixes on the branches;

……”

The movie on the small screen is showing all the way, and as the plot develops, the male and female protagonists in it also turn on the duet mode, and a cheerful minor tune is played by the stereo next to it.

The lyrics sound a little gay, but it's not surprising considering that this man is Liang Shanbo.

Adapted from an old story, the plot is familiar to everyone, so there is no need to say more.

This drama is the second color film made by Zhao Shushen in Xiangjiang, and it was co-produced by Zhang Shankun who he found himself last year, but Zhang Shankun was still in charge of the Great Wall at that time, so this movie is a film cooperated by Daguan and the Great Wall, and it was only released in Xiangjiang at the beginning of this year.

As for the name of Zhao Shushen's first color film, it was filmed at the beginning of the establishment of the Great Wall, and it is also a joint work of the Great Wall.

However, these two films are Daguan's leading technology, coordination and production, and the Great Wall is only responsible for the actors, directors and distribution.

It's a pity that as Zhang Shankun left the Great Wall, Zhao Shushen's cooperation with the Great Wall was so broken.

And Zhang Shankun's self-reliant Far East Film Industry obviously does not have so much money to invest in color films, so this film can be regarded as the last color film cooperated by Daguan and Zhang Shankun.

This one is directed by Yang Qiu, who is somewhat familiar with the big lead, so the quality is not bad, and with the novelty of the color film, it looks very meaningful.

However, just like Li Hanxiang said before the start of filming, costume films don't make money!

So even though this is a color film, it doesn't make any money back for the Grand View Great Wall.

It's just a technical exploration.

And from a technical point of view, Yang Qiu feels like he is watching an old domestic movie from the sixties and seventies, but the picture quality is still a little rough.

No way, the picture quality of movies shot on 16mm film is really not much better.

"Boss Yang, this is a 16mm film color camera produced by Bolex in Switzerland, how about it, it's okay?" In the factory warehouse of Daguan Studio, Zhao Shushen opened a wooden box and lifted the protective cover, pointing to a machine inside and said.

Yang Qiu looked over and saw an all-metal black camera lying inside, full of mechanical beauty, so he nodded and responded: "It's really beautiful, it's shot with it?"

"yes, it's not only pretty, it's cheap, you can buy one for $6,000. ”

It's really cheap......

However, the 16mm color camera, the production is backward, not cheap, who buys it over there, Hollywood, that is, Southeast Asia is still commonly using 16mm black and white cameras, and it is rare to see any color.

"Boss Zhao, I want to ask. ”

"Huh?"

"...... you here" Yang Qiu paused and asked, "Can you get a 35mm film camera here?"

"35mm?!"

Zhao Shushen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Boss Yang doesn't want to make a 35mm color movie, right?"

That's exactly what I mean. Yang Qiu nodded in response.

"This ...... It's a waste. Zhao Shu pondered for a while, hesitated and persuaded: "This 35 mm color film alone is half as expensive as 16, and the effect is not much better." ”

It's really not much better, because theaters in these days are still using the kind of standard screen that looks very square.

This standard screen with a 4:3 gold ratio was invented by Edison and has been used, the standard screen has a smaller screen width, so the audience's perspective is also smaller, so that the corners of people's eyes are greatly restricted, and there is always a sense of oppression of 'watching the play through the window'.

As soon as this sense of oppression comes out, coupled with the small screen and because it is a black and white film, the difference between 16 and 35 is not big.

So in the Hong Kong film industry at this time, because it is cheap, a bunch of people are using 16mm black and white film.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, a Chinese female director brought a bunch of 35mm black and white film from the United States to Xiangjiang, intending to promote the shooting of 35mm films here. As a result, none of Xiangjiang followed her to make a 35mm movie, so after using up this batch of 35mm film, the female director had to leave Xiangjiang and return to the United States.

From the beginning to the end, the craze for 35mm film did not take off.

Zhao Shushen thought about saving Yang Qiu money, it is understandable, after all, it is not easy to find a person in Xiangjiang who wants to make color films in these years, in case people lose a lot of money and don't play this movie, how will they promote color films in the future?

"Although the effect is not much better, but at least a good point is not a point, color film, naturally the better the effect, the more durable, besides, money is not a problem. Yang Qiu looked at the other equipment in the film library and said casually.

"Well, that's ...... too."

In fact, the two of them just said that, who doesn't know that the larger the film negative, the more pixels will be printed, and the more exquisite the picture will be when the time comes.

The pixels of 35mm film are almost twice as high as those of 16mm.

Zhao Shushen saw that Yang Qiu insisted, so he didn't persuade him, and walked directly to the box next to him, opened it and said: "Boss Yang, Bei's dexterous 35mm camcorder, model B2714, has a rotating and variable depth of field lens, an absolute shooting weapon! ”

"Oh!"

Yang Qiu's eyes lit up and he stepped forward, and sure enough, he saw a new type of camera in the box.

The name Bei Lingqiao still exists in later generations.

By then, however, the company had gone into decline and had started a scanner business, but now Bellende is a formidable camcorder company.

For example, the standard of 35mm film that Yang Qiu wanted to use was set and promoted by Bei Lingqiao.

The Bei Lingqiao camera in front of Yang Qiu is much larger than the one in Bolex just now, but it is still about one-third smaller than the silent film era cameras that are still in use on many sets now.

It looks lightweight.

The oil on the machine smelled of metal, and it was obvious that it was well maintained, especially the turntable mechanism at the lens, which was arranged with four lenses, which could meet most shooting needs.

As Zhao Shushen said, it is definitely a shooting weapon.

As for not being able to collect the sound synchronously, Yang Qiu doesn't care, he already plans to use dubbing for his movies in the future, for the sake of the picture!

"Boss Zhao, I decided to use this one, hoping that Daguan Studio can provide all technical, material and personnel support. After Yang Qiu carefully looked at the camera in front of him, he said categorically: "Of course, as the old saying goes, money is not a problem. ”

Zhao Shushen was also happy on his face, and hugged his fists and said: "Haha, Boss Yang, of course, I will fully cooperate with Daguan, but ......"

"But?"

"But Boss Yang, if you want to use this to make a film, then you have to wait. Zhao Shushen put down his hands a little embarrassed and said: "Since this machine is usually not used by anyone, we have prepared four or five films for experiments, which is not enough for the number of films." ”

"Forehead......" Yang Qiu didn't expect this stubble, frowned and asked, "How long will it take?"

"If there is a product on Neon, it will be fast, if there is no goods, you can only go to the United States to order, then to say the least, it will take about 20 days. ”

"Twenty days......" Yang Qiu hesitated, then nodded in response: "Yes." ”

"Okay, Boss Yang, then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Happy working together!"

In the afternoon, Yang Qiu received a message from Zhao Shushen, the neon side is really out of stock, and the neon at this time is mostly black and white, and the 35mm color film is less available, where did the excess film come from to sell it.

No, Yang Qiu had to wait slowly for Daguan to distribute the goods from the United States.

During this period, Wang Tianlin's was finally in rapid preparation and started filming on the set of Youqiao.

Only this time, Yang Meng is not the protagonist.
