Section 526: Technology

In a room full of green curtains, surrounded by staff, electronic cannons were pushed in and set aside, and cameras hung in the air. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the center of the room, there is a large square shelf, and now the whole shelf has been covered with a green curtain, turning into a square green cube, and in front of the green cube sticks out a round tray.

The circular tray has a radius of about one meter, and there are two chairs on it, a bit like the seats on roller coasters that you would find in many large amusement parks, and now there are two people sitting on it, and like the roller coasters in the amusement park, they are also firmly fastened with seat belts to hold the two of them firmly to the seats. Just in case, two layers of cushions are placed under the round tray about a meter above the ground.

These two people are Liu Ruilin and You Haoran.

"Ahhh

With Duane's order, the round tray began to sway from side to side, and the amplitude was not particularly large, and the two little actors on the tray had already obeyed Duan's instructions just now and began to shout.

The electronic cannon had been zoomed in, and the camera was almost close to the two of them less than a meter away from each other, so Duane behind the monitor could clearly see the frightened expressions of the two, and there was also a photographer in the group around the two with a camera to supplement the shooting to provide more angle material.

Duane watched silently.

The scene is very quiet, the shaking amplitude of the tray is not very large, and the two little actors roaring and shouting frantically on it are actually very nonsensical, funny, and inexplicable, but in the eyes of Duane, the director, the scene is not so monotonous.

In his mind, what he saw was not the two children on the monitor shouting meaninglessly, but the scene he had hoped for was fully presented: in a jungle, there was a spherical vehicle with transparent material, and the two children were sitting in it. And now, this spherical object is flying forward and sticking to the ground at a rapid speed under the blow of a huge monster, and there are still many huge monsters running in this jungle, and the spherical vehicle hits the body of a huge monster like a white ball on a billiard table in the process of flying forward uncontrollably, and then refracts back, bounces to another body and refracts back, and rolls forward uncontrollably in a zigzag shape.

The expressions of the two children are presented in such a large environment and observed by Duane up close.

Time, space, obstacles, speed, inertia...... A series of data quickly intertwined in Duane's mind, constituting the real world that only he could see.

"Stop!"

Duane stopped filming at the scene, then got up from behind the monitor, walked behind the electronic gun, and found Kang Junan, who was in charge of the main shot.

"Lao Kang, don't stay still. ”

Du ane scolded: "What the hell is this bullshit shot just now! Such a fierce scene, you move me!"

Kang Junan didn't care when he was scolded, he was used to scolding and being scolded for crew work. He just asked, "How do you want me to move?"

Duane shook his head, "You can do it yourself, just move me anyway, I want to be intense, I want to be nervous, I want to be excited, you know? It's been filming for several days, why don't you understand, this movie is different from the Truman we shot last time, this film relies on the camera, and it relies on the post! I can say, whether this movie is good or not, you, the chief cinematographer, bear 70 percent of the responsibility! If you have any tricks, you can take it out for me, don't be afraid to play it badly, if you play it badly, you will shoot it again, I'm afraid that you won't play!"

Kang Junan didn't say anything.

Du An's preference is to work composition and actors, and he has always implemented the principle of pragmatism in the use of lenses, and he scoffs at unnecessary and overly fancy things, which has led to Kang Junan gradually adjusting and keeping up with Du An's rhythm in his cooperation, and developing such an atmospheric minimalist style now.

Now he suddenly wants Kang Junan to show off more fancy work by himself, and he is really not suitable for taking the fancy route of short jumps and fast jumps, which is also the reason why Kang Junan has not adjusted after he has been said, after all, the habits of several years cannot be changed once or twice.

"What do you want me to play with the electronic cannon?"

Kang Junan finally spoke, "Can I still dump this guy for you?" ”

Duane thought for a while and said, "Why can't you get rid of it?" Push, pull, move, you set your own trajectory, you can turn how you want, I don't care if you pat the back of the head or ass, I just want you to play, it doesn't matter if you follow the stream of consciousness, don't think about what I should do, how to cut, whether the things that come out can be cut or not is my business, you just think about yourself, think about you as a photographer, as an audience, what kind of lens can be cool, can catch people, can make you pay attention to it, that's fine. ”……

After some communication between the two, Kang Junan finally said, "Then I'll give it a try".

After Kang Junan pondered for a while and drew a picture for a while, he finally gave Du An a signal to OK, and the staff on the scene were all ready, and the scene started again.

"Let's go!"

The tray shook immediately under control, and the two children above also started their performance, shouting frantically, "Ahhh

And this time the shots of the electronic cannon also came to life.

It began to glide, dive, pull up, push diagonally, and cut through arcs, a trajectory that seemed to Duane to have a sense of beauty. At the same time, the picture presented in the monitor is also different from just now, no longer following the rules, there is a sense of messy randomness, although many of the lens pictures are wasted because of this, in Duan's opinion, it is completely useless, but in the wonderful chemical reaction presented by this change, there are some shots that make Duan's eyes shine, for example, there is a lens that is pulled out obliquely from in front of You Haoran to the upper left, and You Haoran was turning to the right at the time, this kind of passing moment is very shocking, and it can catch people's eyes。

That's enough.

This scene was only a few seconds at most in Duane's mental plan, and in these few seconds, no amount of mediocre shots could compare to a few brief snatching scenes.

Very good.

Duane silently praised in his heart.

Kang Junan, under his urging for several days, finally began to slowly find his feelings, and he was finally relieved of his choice.

AS DUANE JUST SAID, THE FOCUS OF THIS FILM IS ACTUALLY NOT ON THE ACTORS, BUT MORE ON SOME BEHIND-THE-SCENES WORK, SUCH AS PROPS, SUCH AS SETS, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND POST-PRODUCTION, WHICH CAN BE SEEN FROM THE WAY OF SHOOTING: IN THE FILMING OF THIS FILM, DUANE TRIED TO SHOOT WITH 35MM AND 65MM FILM FOR THE FIRST TIME.

This has actually increased the requirements for photography, so he communicated with Kang Junan countless times about shooting in the early stage, and now it seems that Kang Junan's ability to control this film still satisfies him, and on the basis of adapting to the new shooting format, he also released himself.

There is also the question of how to shoot it, such as the current scene.

At present, the chase scene of two children riding a spherical vehicle actually didn't know how to shoot at the beginning, and several opinions were formed at one point, some said that they would be directly placed in the studio to shoot and then all keyed, some said that they would shoot the model, and some also said that they would all go to the location for real shooting and then post-processing...... In the end, everyone unified an opinion that took into account the technology, visual effects and production costs, that is, to abandon the model and use all computer processing, and the shooting was also divided into two modules, combining studio and exterior shooting, and the proportion distribution was also discussed repeatedly by everyone.

It can be said that the actors really don't have to worry much about the filming of this movie, and most of their energy is spent on solving various behind-the-scenes problems.

And the most terrifying thing is that the filming here in Hengdian is just testing the waters, and bigger and more new attempts will be made after Jia Hongsheng joins the group, and then he, the crew, needs to challenge more new things.

There are no predecessors to learn from these things, he can only work with his team to find ways to deal with them, to solve, and these methods, with the completion of the crew in the future, as the crew disperses to various crews, or will become a new experience and rules in the industry......

These are things that the audience can't see, but it's the really important part of the film, which is also the "film industry".
