Chapter 50
In the afternoon, although the sky was clear, there were a few white clouds floating in it, and the sunlight was not visible, which did not affect the shooting much.
On a remote street corner, Wu Zheng and others are placing several cameras and camera tracks under the command of Bao Dexi, while Xu Jing is explaining the scenes to be filmed to two young actors.
This scene is a scene where the protagonist Dumb is robbed by two gangsters, in addition to the original version being robbed by the protagonist's friends together, the shooting was shot with a shoulder-mounted camera, and the picture has a lot of shaking, making the original version mediocre in performance, and the visual effects are just average. And Xu Jing deleted the role, which was more concise than the original, and Xu Jing also made a plan to shoot with a rail car in the use of the lens, which also looked more solemn.
——
In the performance area, Xu Jing walked out of the street corner with a blank face carrying a bag, and on the other side, a small hooligan wearing a vest and tattooing the back of his hand approached him with his arms thrown around.
"It's you again. The little rogue blocked him, and the flow was airway.
Xu Jing was startled when he was stopped, and was about to run away, but when he turned around, he was hit back by another hooligan behind him, revealing a frightened look.
"The phone, the wallet, all handed over. "The little rascal said.
Xu Jing's eyes were full of frustration, and in desperation, he obediently took out his mobile phone props and wallet.
"Give me the bag. Another rascal said.
"Comic books are also grabbed?" Xu Jing said with an exaggerated expression in his eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense, or you'll even rip off your underwear." The little scoundrel with the knife said impatiently.
"Declining boy, such a little money, remember to bring more next time. Another hooligan, who was counting money, looked disgusted.
Xu Jing's face was suddenly full of humiliation, and then he slowly lowered his head, tightened his fists with both hands, and the green tendons on his arms burst out, and suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a sharp look, as if a peerless master was about to use a trick.
"Big brother, take it, welcome to come back next time. It's just that Xu Jing didn't break out into the small universe and beat the two little hooligans violently, but instantly showed a Zhou Xingchi-style bright smile and flattered, while obediently offering the comic book in his hand with both hands.
——
"Cards!"
As Bao Dexi shouted to stop, Xu Jing returned to his normal state, walked to the monitor, and replayed the footage he had just taken over and over again.
"No, this one doesn't work. Xu Jing leaned back and said helplessly.
This is his first real revision of the film, although he has accumulated a lot of theoretical knowledge in his previous life and has many works that have not yet been released for reference, but it still makes Xu Jing feel quite nerve-wracking.
Just like the part I just filmed, I originally wanted to form a huge contrast by the protagonist's humiliation and imminent outbreak of the state to flattery and flattery to the little hooligans, but although the picture just shot has a nonsensical painting style, I have watched it several times, but I always feel that this contrast is not strong enough.
"Ready, let's reshoot. After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Xu Jing suddenly opened his eyes and said resolutely: "In this way, we will keep the other shots unchanged, but after the protagonist is humiliated, set up a circular track, and the camera will take a close-up around me, especially the close-up of the eyes must be taken well, prepare the hair dryer, and the wind will blow my hair when shooting." ”
"Also, I'll make up a shot of the surrounding street later, using a hair dryer to blow the fallen leaves and confetti. After a while, Xu Jing added.
Since the contrast effect is not obvious, it means that the foreshadowing is not good enough, how can people think that this character is about to explode at a glance?
Xu Jing recalled the scenes of martial arts master duels in many martial arts films, and the most used was undoubtedly the close-up of the facial expressions of the characters through the environment to create tension. That's what Xu Jing said about taking close-ups of the face and shooting the breeze blowing hair, fallen leaves, confetti and other means.
After several shootings, five or six times in a row, he finally shot the shot Xu Jing wanted, looked at the time, it was still early, Xu Jing took the crew to the rooftop again, and filmed the scene of Dumb wearing SH Bianwang suit 'training' to fly over the rooftop.
In the original version, Dave did not cross the rooftop, but braked on the edge of the roof. In order to reduce the slapstick color, Xu Jing naturally made changes in this section, did not brake like the original, but successfully crossed the rooftop gap in a chic posture, and then used the upward shot to shoot Haibian Wang into a giant with the style of a peerless master, standing on the opposite rooftop, and showing a confident smile.
Of course, there is also a gap between the two rooftops that is different from the original, the original version of the two rooftops is three or four meters away, while Xu Jing's version is only thirty or forty centimeters. In order to increase the contrast of this shot, Xu Jing specially set up a little flower cat on the side, and formed a strong contrast with the picture of Dumb 'flying over the rooftop' by capturing the shot of the little flower cat easily crossing the narrow gap.
In this way, the exploration of the theme of 'anti-superheroes' not only retains enough jokes, but also ensures its seriousness, and the pattern is much more extensive than the original.
The time was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, because of the replacement of the two important supporting roles, the filming cycle of the film had to be extended for several days, in order to ensure that there was enough time to shoot the scenes of the villain and the big daddy later, Xu Jing simply even used the evening time.
"Prepare the lights and props, and put the meal after the shooting. As soon as the crew came to the built room, Xu Jing said goodbye and walked straight to the side rest area.
In fact, this scene is a very simple indoor scene, and there are not a few shots in total, but under the busy day, even Xu Jing is tired, so he has to take advantage of the gap prepared by the crew to rest for a while.
"Barley, barley. As soon as Xu Jinggang sat down and was about to drink saliva, Zhou Xiaoxun, who had been studying the script next to him, pulled his arm and called.
"Hmm, is there anything else you don't understand?" Xu Jing has always asked Zhou Xiaoxun to write a short biography of the character, and slowly Zhou Xiaoxun has also developed the habit of holding the script as soon as he has time, and asking questions when he encounters something he doesn't understand, for which he has been praised by Xu Jing.
"What is a fight?" Zhou Xiaoxun asked.
"Poof... Cough... Ahem... Xu Jinggang spit out all the water he drank, choking and coughing.
Xu Jing turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaoxun, only to see that she was holding a script and looking at herself with a curious baby's appearance. Xu Jing snatched the script over, and when he looked at it, sure enough, the script was not Zhou Xiaoxun's, but his own, and what Zhou Xiaoxun was watching was the scene that was about to be filmed.
Speaking of which, at this time, the hand yin is not called 'fighting a plane', if there is no specific situation, adults will not be able to understand its meaning, let alone Zhou Xiaoxun, who is still young. Considering that its context is not difficult for adults to understand, Xu Jingxuan did not replace it with the vocabulary of the current statement.
"Go, go, read your own script, don't ask anything. Xu Jing didn't have a good air, and then under Zhou Xiaoxun's gaze full of question marks, he got up and walked to the work area.
At this time, Zhou Xiaoxun was confused. Didn't you just read your script? Didn't you just ask a question that you didn't understand? As for reprimanding me? Zhou Xiaoxun pursed his mouth, thinking a little angrily, and then got up and followed with a roll of his eyes.
"Director, get ready. ”
"Okay, these are the last shots of the day, everyone cheer up, let's try to get over it all at once. ”
"Hey, hey, Xiaomi, what are you doing squatting there?" Just as Xu Jing was about to shout to start and then take off his pants, he saw Zhou Xiaoxun squatting in a corner of the room, his little arms supporting his cheeks, looking at him fixedly, how could he continue? ”
"Why? Look at what happened to your plane?" Hearing that Xu Jing was going to drive her away, Zhou Xiaoxun immediately pouted, stood up, and said with an unconvinced face.
