Verse 403: Loneliness and Beauty
"Be careful, don't trample on other people's things. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and, wait a minute, you can shoot me, don't turn the camera around, don't shoot things that shouldn't be filmed, don't leak other people's secrets......"
As he walked forward, Duane tilted his head and chatted with the photographer behind him, shrinking his head, pressing the hat on his head more tightly, and muttering, "What the hell is this weather......
This is Kuandian, located in Liaodong Province, which is the filming location of "Assembly", and after communicating with Feng Xiaogang, Du An organized a live broadcast team to kill him. After Shen Yang got off the plane, the group took a car for more than 4 hours to arrive here, everything went well, it was this weather that made Du An, who came from Shanghai, a little unbearable - it was only November, and the temperature in this place was already below zero. The only thing to be thankful for is that although the temperature in the winter in the Northeast is low, it is dry and cold, floating on the surface, and it is not as cold to the bones as in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is good to wear more clothes.
Duane drove directly to the set in a car, and after getting out of the car, he didn't walk long before he saw the crew's team: looking ahead, there was a vast flat land, low mountains in the distance, potholes on the flat ground, and trenches dug out everywhere, one by one, orderly in chaos, scattered with barbed wire. There had been a snowfall in Kuandian two days ago, so I saw that the ground was white and black, white was snow, and black was the land. Now a group of people are gathered in an open space on the left, the snow on the open space has been shoveled away, two rows of simple board houses have been built on it, there is snow on the roof, and some equipment is placed next to it, there are common electronic cannons, there are all kinds of photographic and radio equipment, all stacked on the ground, and the equipment is a group of people on the side, all walking, and there are a few immobile ones in the middle, forming a group.
Although China's cable network construction is world-class, and the construction of wireless networks is not bad, the basic popularization of the 3G network is still not enough for the requirements of live broadcasting, and it cannot meet the network bandwidth required for live broadcasting, especially the live broadcast photography equipment used by Duane is professional-grade, with high resolution and large picture content, and the bandwidth of the 3G network is even more unsatisfying, so he came out to do outdoor live broadcast this time or specially brought a team out, and even used an OB truck to follow the whole process, so as to meet his live broadcast requirements, the cost is also quite large, and ordinary people really can't do itγ
There are a total of sixteen people in Duan's team who came to Kuandian this time, and nine of them followed the set to do the live broadcast today, three were in the car, and six followed Duane down, just behind his buttocks.
Because everyone was dressed tightly and wore hats, it was really hard to see who was who at a glance, and it was only after both sides approached that Duane recognized the person opposite.
There were a total of five people walking over to them, and the little man in the middle he knew, it was Feng Xiaogang, and the rest of them must also be people in the entertainment industry, but he didn't know any of them - none of the actors in "The Assembly" were big names, all of them were small roles, and he hadn't worked with any of them, so it was normal not to know him.
"Director Feng!"
It was still about ten meters away, and Du An greeted the other side loudly, and Feng Xiaogang also greeted: "Director Du, you are finally here!"
After the two said hello, they didn't take two steps before the two teams converged.
Du An's first to speak, and said with a smile: "Director Feng, the conditions in this place are really difficult enough, if it were me, I wouldn't be willing to come, or you can endure hardship!" After Feng Xiaogang said politely, he introduced: "By the way, Director Feng, let me introduce you, these are my people, and they are specially here to help me do live broadcasts......
He introduced a few people a little, and Feng Xiaogang just nodded when he listened, and he didn't know if he could remember a name. After finishing speaking, Du An's said again: "Our live broadcast is the whole process, which means that everything we have now has been broadcast live, don't you mind?"
Feng Xiaogang grinned and said, "It's okay." β
In fact, Du Ane has already communicated with Feng Xiaogang about this, and Feng Xiaogang also knows it, and now he will say it again just to add insurance. Looking at the reactions of the other people around Feng Xiaogang, they obviously also knew, and no one seemed stunned, but two of them moved their steps intentionally or unintentionally while glancing at the camera behind Duane, as if they wanted to leave the country to show their faces.
After Du An's introduction was finished, Feng Xiaogang also introduced the people on his side a little after expressing his welcome, "This is Zhang Hanyu, the protagonist of our film, this is Yuan Wenkang's ......"
Duane said hello to these people one by one, and the whole meeting between the two sides was decent and lackluster, which disappointed many viewers in the live broadcast room who were expecting the two to meet and have a fierce hug.
After the two sides finished the introduction, the two sides walked towards the place where Feng Xiaogang was, and the teams of the two sides unconsciously divided into queues: Du An and Feng Xiaogang were in the middle, the photographer from Du An's team was closest to them, and the others walked in a semicircle outside in turn.
Feng Xiaogang held a stack of documents in his hand, with paper and notebook, and in the process of walking, he took out a thin notebook from it and handed it to Du An, "This is a few scenes we are going to shoot today, specially made for you, and the storyboard is also in it, you can see, if you have any opinions, just mention it." Speaking of this, he grinned again, "After all, you still have more successful experience than me in this, you have done me a great favor this time, hurry up and help me take care of the point, when I get this piece, maybe I can make a dozen or two billion!"
Duane took the notebook, smiled slightly, and opened it casually, but he didn't think about it in his heart.
More than 10 billion ...... This may be a difficult goal for other directors to reach and easy to meet, but for Feng Xiaogang, such a goal is not very difficult, and now he takes this as a goal.
Duane didn't think much about it anymore and began to watch a few scenes in his hand.
There are a total of three scenes, the most important one of them should be the second scene, it is a literary drama from the perspective of the script: in this scene, the platoon Changjiao Dacang said before he died that he heard the assembly call, and asked Gu Zidi to retreat with the rest of the brothers, and some of the soldiers echoed and some opposed, and everyone had a disagreement about this......
Du An's story is not clear about what "Assembly" is about, only that it is a main theme movie, and he can't see an idea from the simple three scenes in his hand, but it doesn't matter - he was not interested in this movie, he just came over to do a live broadcast, what does Feng Xiaogang want to shoot about him?
To put it mildly, even if he really got the guide tube and took a little bit of things today, Feng Xiaogang probably wouldn't let these things appear in the final film at all.
Everyone just came together to put on a show for the outside world to see: through this scene, Du An's promise was fulfilled, and Feng Xiaogang used Du An to promote his new movie for free, and both sides took what they needed.
In the following time, Feng Xiaogang didn't have time to come over to chat with Du An, and devoted himself to his intense work, constantly communicating with photographers, lighting, and actors. At first, he remembered that this was a live broadcast, and he paid attention to his words and deeds, and communicated with the staff politely, but after a while, he threw this matter out of the clouds, and the slang of the capital kept coming out, and he could hear "Ya Ting" and "Sun Tzu" from time to time - I don't know what he was doing when he said these words when he talked about work.
Duane looked amused, and didn't say much, just sat comfortably in his chair.
If he could, he hoped to be able to sit like this until the end of today, I believe Feng Xiaogang also wanted him to do this, but he also knew that if he really did this, probably those audience members would be quite dissatisfied, and maybe there would be some trouble because of this, so after a ten-minute break, he got up from his chair and began to "comfort the masses" in all directions.
He saw the desire of the actors to rub the camera before, and thought that someone would take the initiative to send them to the door to "chat" with him when he sat here, but he didn't expect that no one came, everyone just watched from a distance, looking like they wanted to come but didn't dare to come.
It seems that he is still a little imposing now, and he has scared people, so he has to go down to find live broadcast content to improve today's live broadcast content.
"Du Dao is good," "Du Dao is good"......
No matter what the people in the crew were doing before, whether it was putting on makeup or chatting, as long as they saw him coming, they hurried to greet him, but he didn't go all the way "well", but found fault all the way.
"How did you put on this makeup? What about your makeup? Hurry up!"
Standing in front of Duane now was a man with glasses, wearing a dirty costume and military uniform, and he was almost unable to see what he looked like. Du An looked at him dissatisfied, which made the actor's expression a little nervous, and he didn't know where he provoked the airborne Director Du.
"Makeup artist!"
As Duane shouted, a woman who was wrapped like a bear trotted over, panting. As soon as he trotted to this station, he looked at Du An with sincere fear and asked, "Director Du, you called me?"
Hey, the distinction between the top and bottom of the entertainment industry is really cruel, more obvious than other industries, this girl is obviously in her thirties and a few years older than herself, but she is terrified because of her shouting, and she is pressed by her status level.
Du Anxin sighed, but he didn't think about it at all, if he wasn't scaring others with an unhappy face now, could he do this?
"You put on this makeup?"
Du An pointed to the face of the man with glasses and asked her, his face became even more gloomy, so the female makeup artist's face became more and more frightened, and her voice was a little trembling and hesitant: "Yes?...... Yes. β
Well, she couldn't even remember if she was wearing this makeup.
Duane didn't continue to scare her, but pointed directly at the left cheek of the man with glasses, and said, "Look at this, why is it all dirt and ash?
The female makeup artist looked confused, and subconsciously said: "Director Du, the request for me here is to put on a makeup for them that has just experienced the war...... I've just experienced a battle, how can I be clean?" Probably due to the pressure of authority, her voice became lower and lower the more she spoke, and the more she had no confidence.
After hearing her explanation, Duane had a look of hatred on his face, and said: "You can't have a clean place just after a battle?" You know, he is not an ordinary person, his identity is an instructor! Among so many people, he is the only one who wears glasses, he is an intellectual, can he be the same as others?"
Du An's script just now is not in vain, and I still know a little about the identity of the character in the play of this man with glasses.
Then he continued to flicker: "There is a difference between his character and other characters, this is a point that we need to show, other people don't care about their image and personal hygiene, but he is different, compared to others, he has to pay a little more attention, this difference we have to pay attention to." Even if the conditions are difficult, even if he has just experienced a battle, even if he can't have a white face, but he always has to be a little cleaner than others, which can reflect the difference of the characters, and only then can it be in line with the identity of the character, his glasses play this role, and then his makeup must also play this role, so as to form the unity of the characters!"
"Makeup is a very important thing, under the same background conditions, different makeup can often reflect a lot of different information and enrich the lens language, you have all made up the same makeup, how can it be reflected?"
Du An's preaching, not to mention the female makeup artist, even the surrounding actors, including the glasses man, were confused, and vaguely felt that it was really like that.
Then the female makeup artist subconsciously asked, "That Du Dao...... How am I going to do it?"
"Actually, I don't need to change much," said Duane, and the finger rubbed the left cheek of the man with glasses, rubbing a small patch of black ash, making the skin a little more abruptly white than the skin around it.
Duane smiled, "Look, isn't there a difference in this way? It can not only reflect the difference between this character and other characters, but also highlight his character identity and educational background, and such a touch of white in the black and gray symbolizes the dawn in the darkness, indicating that victory is not far ahead, and there is a kind of postmodernism loneliness, brokenness and dissociation, which is very beautiful." β
When he said this, he couldn't help but snort twice.
"Perfect!" (To be continued.) )
