"Crackling"

Under the blue sky, the sound of artillery battles was constantly resounding in the ears, which shook people's brains a little, but the festive atmosphere was good. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the scene of the firecrackers, a big case is very eye-catching, and there is a huge braised pig's head on it, and in front of the pig's head is a statue that is not too big, which is the appearance of a man, and I can't see what kind of god it is.

There are people around the board, densely surrounded, and there are three people at the front of the crowd, from left to right, Fang Liyong, Du An, and Zhou Xingchi, and there are assistants waiting on their side, saying something while handing them the incense.

"It's a really nice place, it's November and it's the same as early summer, just wear a shirt, and it's really a blessing to stay here for the next few months." ”

Fang Liyong was idle, talking to Duane at hand amid the cacophony of firecrackers.

Duane glanced at him, "Do you like it, you can stay here with us for the rest of the day, anyway, the signal towers are all built, and you can operate your company's affairs remotely." ”

Fang Liyong was insensitive to his proposal, and said: "I would like to, but many things in the company cannot be solved through the network alone. Alas, hard work is no match for you. ”

Duane smiled and didn't poke him, but looked past him towards the sea that could be seen in the distance on his left.

This is Nanping Island, located in the South China Sea, listed in the Nansha Islands, is an area of 23 square kilometers of islands, the Song Dynasty officially incorporated into the Chinese territory. In modern times, after China recovered the islands from Japan, there were still disputes, and Vietnam, the Philippines, and Malaysia had a perennial dispute over the ownership of the islands, and this dispute has gradually subsided with the continuous development of China's national construction this year.

And this is also where some scenes of "Truman's World" were filmed.

Although the international disputes and the dissent of neighboring countries have basically disappeared, in the past few years, the Vietnamese side has ignored the opinions of the Chinese government and seized the islands, which led to a series of conflicts, as if it was just yesterday, so many people have the impression that this place is "unsafe".

Among such people is obviously Fang Liyong, who is obviously also worried about safety, so he will also come to attend a start-up ceremony today, and he will leave immediately after a while.

However, such islands also have the advantage of being cheaper.

Due to the short time to completely own the ownership of the archipelago, there is no permanent population in the area, mainly peacekeeping troops are stationed, and fishermen will rest here, in this case, the country urgently needs to build and improve the relevant infrastructure on the archipelago, and it is at this time that the crew of "Truman's World" jumped out.

They need to build houses and roads for filming, and they leave after filming, but these houses and roads can't be demolished, which is equivalent to giving them to the country, which perfectly meets the needs of the country's construction, and does not need the state to pay for it.

This rent is simply a symbolic figure, not to mention that the government has built a signal tower specifically for them on the island, and sent peacekeepers to stay on the island during their filming, and promised that the navy will take care of Nanda Island as a key strategic target during its daily cruises, so that they can patrol twice a day, completely eliminating their worries about safety.

These projects alone are far more than 100,000.

Of course, Duane is the only one who can get these discounts, after all, he is now the world's No. 1 director and a world-renowned figure in the single film world, if something happens to him in Chinese territory, where will the government's face go?

"Director Du, it's time to incense. ”

An assistant's voice interrupted Duane's thoughts.

He retracted his gaze, only to see that the firecrackers had been put off, then he nodded, took the incense, stepped forward with Fang Liyong and Zhou Xingchi, bowed to the statue on the table three times, and finally inserted the incense in the incense burner.

This statue is a statue of the Neptune.

Although the custom of worshipping God on the mainland is not as strong as that of Xiangjiang, but now they are filming on the island no matter what they say, and it is surrounded by the sea, it is better to be in awe when you go to this kind of place, and worship the Dragon King, which can be regarded as giving yourself a little psychological comfort to the crew.

After worshipping the dragon king, the ribbon was cut again, and this start-up ceremony was over.

After the ceremony, the staff on the scene were busy again, packing up their things, preparing for the filming work, and there were only three or four idlers.

"Without the media, it always feels a little uncomfortable......"

Fang Liyong looked around and sighed to Duane.

The acceleration of globalization has made regional cooperation more frequent, especially in the entertainment industry, there are yellow, black and white, not to mention those in different provinces, and there are more, which in turn leads to Fang Liyong, a native of Nanyang, who speaks Northeast dialect as a thief, and has a little taste.

Duane smiled and didn't say anything to him.

Since the cast list was not announced, Duane planned to keep the filming running on a low-key main tone, so no media was invited to interview the opening ceremony.

The total production cost of "Truman's World" is 130 million, of which 30 million is used on Zhou Xingchi's salary - this is still in the case that Zhou Xingchi is willing to reduce his salary, which shows how terrifying his original salary was. As for the other actors, from the heroine to the little dragon, Du An'an used unknown actors, and the total salary was less than two million, and the gap between the rich and the poor in this circle was obvious.

For these unknown actors, there is nothing to publicize, and the audience will be interested in them only because Du An and Zhou Xingchi, they themselves have no point to attract traffic, so Du An simply remains mysterious and does not publicize, but can have a better effect.

The time has not come, and he will not be able to leave for a while and a half, Fang Liyong is estimated to be very bored, and after looking at the busy staff around him, he said with a smile: "These faces are really raw enough, I don't know any of them." ”

The meaning of his words is obvious, even fools can hear it, and Duane is no exception.

In this regard, Du An's just said, "Mr. Fang, since you have left this matter to me to be responsible, I don't think you should think too much, anyway, you have already made money, right?"

Fang Liyong is not satisfied with the list of actors, which is also something that Du An has known for a long time, and Fang Liyong has said many times about this matter, that is, he was pushed back by Du An every time, just like this time.

However, Fang Liyong did not directly and silently not speak as he had done many times in the past, but chased after him: "It's just that famous actors are always at ease with it, and like you said, we have already generated profits, so you don't have to think too much about profitability, and you don't have to reduce costs for me." ”

His words were not expected by Duane.

Du An glanced at him with some surprise: according to Fang Liyong's personality, he wouldn't talk so much, especially when he had already eaten many times on this issue.

However, after seeing Fang Liyong's somewhat unnatural expression compared to usual, Du An's eyes rolled, and he probably understood what was going on.

He was probably afraid.

Fang Liyong is cautious by nature, he puts stability first in everything he does, and likes to control everything within his predictable range, but the current situation is not within his control - he doesn't know if the Vietnamese side will suddenly have a brain twitch and suddenly come to make trouble after a few years of dissipation, what will happen to his personal safety at that time?

So he got scared and used words to relieve his nervousness.

This discovery made Du ane laugh: the time he had known Fang Liyong was not too short, whether he had gotten along as a friend or as an enemy, it was the first time he saw that Fang Liyong would have a real fear mood, which was fun.

"In fact, I don't have high requirements for acting, on the contrary, if these actors show a little flaw in the process of acting, it is what I look forward to more, which is more in line with the overall style and plot of the film. ”

After Du ane answered Fang Liyong's doubts, he became evil and stopped talking.

He estimated that Fang Liyong would have nothing to say.

Sure enough, after Fang Liyong was blocked by his answer, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Is the crew's accommodation situation okay?" I think it's best for you to do a survey to collect everyone's opinions on food and accommodation, if there is anything that is not good for living or eating, just tell me, after all, it is not easy for everyone to go so far to make a movie, there is not much we can do, and we can't wronged everyone in terms of food and accommodation. ”

Duane had a sullen chuckle in his stomach: this guy seemed to be really scared.

Looking at his expression of "they are really not easy", it is completely empathetic and substituting himself into it, it is estimated that he has already thought of the terrifying scene if he wants to stay in this place for a month, and he is very emotional at this moment.

Seeing that Du An's silence didn't speak, Fang Liyong said again: "This place is really good, if you don't say it, you really can't imagine that this was a desert island a few months ago." You look at the pavement, this house, and the design style of these buildings, all of which look fashionable in Shanghai. ”

Du An's bad taste is really not covered, not only did he not talk to Fang Liyong again, but instead found an excuse to leave to go to Kang Junan's side to guide the work, leaving Fang Liyong here alone.

Get a taste of fear, it's not a regular opportunity.

"This angle is not right, when the time comes, it will appear that the face is distorted, so you have to go up a little and pull the angle down a few degrees,"

Duan, who slipped over here, pulled Kang Junan to the door of a bungalow and pointed to a camera.

In addition to the conventional shooting shots of "Truman's World", there are many shots that will be shot by cameras, which he has long told Kang Junan.

Compared with professional cameras, due to the limitation of the camera's size, the performance, picture presentation, and detail capture are certainly not comparable, and it will be obvious on the big screen, even if they have purchased it according to the highest standards, and the room for improvement is limited.

But that's exactly what Duane needs.

"Truman's World" is about a person living in the live broadcast world, and there are more images that are obviously shot by the camera, which will make the audience intuitively feel that "this is a world that is being broadcast live", which is the so-called lens language.

In the process of becoming a director, Duane learned more and more things, such as the language of the lens: at first he didn't know what the language of the lens was, but later he thought that the language of the lens was the picture, the light, the composition, and then now, he has further expanded his understanding of the language of the lens to the aspect of equipment.

The obvious difference in the images taken by different equipment is also a kind of lens language.

Kang Junan tilted his head to look, walked forward and walked around in front of the camera, and then moved the camera mounted on the fence of the courtyard of the bungalow with the fixture according to Duane's instructions, and turned around and asked, "Is this okay?"

Duane looked at it, gestured to his body again, and nodded, "Almost." ”

It's not enough to just talk about it, you have to use facts to speak.

After Kang Junan walked around in front of the camera again, the two walked to the monitor, found the camera of the channel, played it backwards, and compared the footage of Kang Junan's movement taken before and after the move.

Although this gap is very small from the monitor, it is very eye-catching when zoomed in on the big screen, and this is also the difference between movies and TV series - TV series due to the limitations of the screen, many details will not be noticed, movies can be different, which in many cases requires actors to have better performance ability, which is why the status of movie actors is far from being comparable to TV series actors.

After Kang Junan saw the comparison picture, he quipped: "It seems that you didn't do the live broadcast in vain for a while, which is really sensitive enough for the camera's sense of smell." ”

Duane said: "Yes, I may not be as good as you in photography, but when it comes to playing with cameras, you are probably not my opponent right now." He glanced at Kang Junan again, stood up, and said, "You bring the camera, come with me, and we will study how to adjust the aperture of that scene later......"

When he was so busy, he forgot that he had come here to deliberately disgust Fang Liyong, and he was completely immersed in his work. And in the back and forth walking, it didn't take long for Duane to sweat on his vest.

The weather on Nanding Island is really good enough, it's almost December, but the sun is still so bright, the temperature is also high, Duane can sweat hot in long sleeves.

is still busy, and the first scene of "Truman's World" has finally started filming. (To be continued.) )
