Chapter 036: Location Drama
Yang Qiu held the book of Teacher Stan for less than two days, and Zha Liangjian really found him a job in the crew, and it was still a good job.
That is to do the crew's location drama, follow Bu Wan Cang all over Kowloon and the New Territories, and survey the exterior scenes that need to be filmed in the movie.
To put it simply, it's the driver plus - the bag.
Although "The Enmity of Da Liangshan" is about Liangshan, it is impossible to really pull the whole crew to Liangshan for filming, unless you don't die.
Therefore, the interior scene in the movie is directly set up in the studio, and the exterior scene is full of Xiangjiang.
Don't be afraid of shooting problems, I think that Yonghua's second work "The Secret History of the Qing Palace" was all filmed in the studio, and it was not the same as the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace that were filmed very realistically, making people unable to distinguish the real from the fake.
According to the film crews of later generations, there should be a special location director in the group to find the location, and the chief director only needs to determine whether the location is suitable or not.
However, at this time, the crew can be equipped with an assistant director to give you is very good, how can there be these subdivisions such as location directors.
Only Bu Wancang did this work by himself, but fortunately, there are not many exterior scenes of this play.
Every morning, after a random breakfast around the dormitory, Yang Qiu drove Bu Wancang's second-hand Cadillac, and took the great director around Kowloon and the New Territories, looking for barren mountains and wild mountains.
Sometimes when there is no road in a barren mountain, the two of them have to abandon the car and walk on their legs.
Once he found a place with a good scenery, Director Bu first looked around to see if the surroundings were suitable for the crew to station;
Yang Qiu, who had always known little about movie screens before, only then did he know that there were so many ways to choose the scene.
What effect can be expressed by the level of scenery in what picture, what effect can be expressed by oblique lines, what effect can be expressed up and down the picture, what proportion of real scenes and distant scenes should be accounted for, etc., are all knowledge that cannot be learned in general, which opened Yang Qiu's eyes.
These things are all things that the predecessors have groped through, and with a light touch, Yang Qiu, who has watched countless film and television dramas, instantly understands a lot.
For example, the picture is divided into upper and lower levels, and often the people arranged at the top of the composition are all righteous people, and the people below become hideous bad guys.
Thinking of many anti-Japanese dramas in later generations, when the RB devil tortured my underground worker, the devil always stood a little shorter, which is the reason.
"Mirror!"
Bu Wancang looked at the exterior for a long time, and he should have felt satisfied with the proportions, so he opened his mouth and called Yang Qiu. Yang Qiu, who was carrying the bag, did not hesitate, opened the briefcase, took out a holster from the bag and handed it over.
Inside the sleeve is a monolithic filter.
The movies made in the first few years are basically black and white films, not that there are no color films, Xiangjiang made color movies ten years ago. However, now color movies are not only several times more expensive, not to mention, the picture quality is not good, there is no advantage over black and white films, so no one shoots them.
However, in this colorful world, when photographed on black, white and gray films, the color proportions will change, and the composition will be ruined. Therefore, when selecting a scene, it is necessary to remove a filter with noise removed.
Bu Wancang opened his right eye, looked at the exterior scene with a filter, and looked at it for five or six minutes, before he put down the mirror, sighed, and shook his head.
"Bu Dao, what's wrong?"
Yang Qiu asked curiously beside him, he also looked at the frame with both hands just now, and found that the ratio of the real and virtual distance of the exterior scene was excellent, but he didn't know what was wrong with the color, which made Bu Wancang shake his head.
Bu Wancang was also willing to teach, and handed him the filter: "Look at it." ”
Yang Qiu was never polite when he was studying in this way, anyway, it was not the first time, so he took a look at it after receiving the filter. As soon as the mirror is placed in front of you, the color of the world changes from color to black, white and gray.
Li Hanxiang said that Yang Qiu had a good sense of color, but he was not talking nonsense, and after watching it for less than twenty seconds, Yang Qiu said intermittently: "The shore ...... , trees and grasses...... The color is a little too dark, and the gray is all pasted into a black, too oppressive. ”
"Yes! ”
Bu Wancang nodded appreciatively, looked into the distance and said, "Here can barely be reserved in the first game, and there is no need to think about the third game." Well...... , Ah Qiu, let's take a photo to record it, in case you can use it in the future. ”
"Howler. ”
Yang Qiu hurriedly put away the filter, took out a film camera from his bag, 'clicked' twice to take a few photos, and then wrote down the address and details of this place on a notepad, and this location visit was completed.
Obviously, this location was out.
Next, Bu Wancang and Yang Qiu continued to look for locations. Yang Qiu was learning knowledge while crossing mountains and mountains, but he was both painful and happy.
Fortunately, there were not many locations for this play, only five, and they were all found in less than a week, and Yang Qiu's location task came to an end, and he was ready to enter the crew and start doing chores.
Don't think that Yang Qiu's location drama work will be dismissed like this, when the time comes to shoot the location, he will arrange the travel and food of the entire crew going out. That's where people are tested, and it's just an appetizer now.
For this, Yang Qiu not only asked Zhao Dagang for a lot of advice, but later ran around several locations, where the food was cheap and delicious, where the road was easy to walk, and the planning was written for more than ten pages.
As soon as the publicity of "The Enmity of Daliangshan" was launched, the external publicity was another 'million-dollar masterpiece'!
Yang Qiu is a little powerless to complain, "The Soul of the Nation" is a million-dollar masterpiece, and "Daliangshan Enmity" is a million-dollar masterpiece, is Director Bu only left with such a propaganda plan, or is Li Zuyong's big boss so poor that he only has money left?
However, a lot of money from the crew of "Daliangshan Enmity" is certain.
In less than half a month after the start of preparation, the interior scenes in the photography were all set up, the wooden and bamboo houses, the mud walls, the inner room, the outer room, the livestock pen, the small flat in front of the house and even the ornaments on the wall were all missing, and they were all old.
Even the more than 30 sets of specially customized costumes are all available.
These clothes are not simple, but they are specially consulted by folklore scholars, and they are made according to the original national costumes, which are much more expensive than the houses built in the studio.
In short, it can be seen from the preparations at the beginning that Yonghua is not short of money.
As the start date of filming gradually approached, many actors came to the set in advance to visit, and Yang Qiu also met most of the actors in this play. For example, Wang Yuanlong, who plays Suguda and has had several relationships, such as the film industry Xiaosheng who plays Wushak, the thirty-seven-year-old Liu Qiong, of course, Luo Siwei who plays Yameng needless to say.
As for the person who plays Yang Qiu's boss, Camp Chief Chen, it is Yonghua's rookie actor Bao Fang.
Saying that Bao Fang is a newcomer actually refers to the movie aspect, but he has been acting in dramas for seven or eight years, and he is considered an old actor.
This guy had never acted in a movie before coming to Xiangjiang, but later entered Yonghua and ran through the big dragon set in "The Soul of the Nation" and "The Secret History of the Qing Palace". I was very happy to be able to catch a big horn this time, and everyone was smiling when I saw it.
Whenever someone laughed at him for why he was smiling, he was embarrassed again, and always rubbed his hands and laughed: "No, the child is about to be born, and I am happy." ”
"Oh————" everyone howled strangely.
Of course, Yang Qiu is quite familiar with this guy, after all, Bao Fang is the old man of Bliss in "The Heroes of the World", Feng Qingyang in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Hong Antong in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", the sweeping monk in "Dragon Babu", and so on.
In the eighties and nineties, Yang Qiu could still mix in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, and Yang Qiu had heard of it a little, not to mention that he had a more familiar daughter.
Just one day before the filming of "The Enmity of Daliang Mountain" was about to start, when Yang Qiu received the first filming notice in his life, a major event happened in Yonghua - Zhang Shankun left Yonghua.
The founder of Yonghua, one of the top mountains, and one of the most influential people in the Chinese film and television industry, sold the shares of Yonghua in his hand to Li Zuyong for 600,000 yuan, and then left naked.
Although he didn't take Yonghua alone in person, under the calm surface of this lake, it was definitely not quiet.
The wind and rain are coming, and people's hearts are moving!
