Chapter 62: The Big Vision

"What is a mirror book?"

"I've only heard of script books and storyboards. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

In the face of Gu Cheng's blurted out words that were taken for granted, Director Cai and the photographer were all a little baffled.

But they also knew that Gu Cheng was one of the investors, so they looked at Chai Zhiping helplessly: Sister, you can settle the people you invited.

Gu Cheng quickly realized the awkwardness of the atmosphere, and hurriedly rounded the scene: "I'm just not used to it, I was a little fuss just now, it's okay for you to continue." ”

It is said that even if this matter is over, but Chai Zhiping still wants to take more investment from Gu Cheng's pocket, so he naturally wants to maintain a good relationship: "Anyone who has any questions can raise it, what Mr. Gu said about the mirror movement, you might as well explain it, everyone refer to it in detail." ”

Gu Cheng thought for a moment and covered up and said, "Oh, that...... When I was studying in Dongyi, I saw people over there making films. When the photographer shoots each group of shots, how the lens is to be transported is written in a script, such as full distance, medium and near, push, pull, pan heel. and then send it to the actors, so that the actors do not lose focus and do not appear on camera when filming. ”

Of course, these words are lies, not to mention that Dongyi people don't use them, but the people of the United States don't have this thing.

Because today's people don't need this kind of thing at all, Gu Cheng is completely in tune with the world 40 years later - because the position of photographer in that era is gone, and pure machine camera movement requires a script (or the photographer has already written an intelligent script, instead of manually moving the camera himself. Even simple camera movements only need to be automatically adjusted by motion capture technology, and only need to be specially set when artificially pursuing specific artistic effects).

But scripts also have the benefit of scripting, which is that they make the actors more intuitive, rather than having to rely on a few simple pieces of data to move empirically.

Chai Zhiping didn't understand the foreign entertainment industry, so she was fooled by Gu Cheng: "So that's the case, but it's not necessary." For many years, photographers know how to move the camera in their own hearts, so they are naturally handy. At most, some shots are pulled more powerfully, and I have to explain a few words of caution to the actors. Don't embarrass everyone. ”

"I didn't want to be embarrassed, I just said it casually. Maybe Dongyi actors are more axial, and they don't have a good grasp of experience, so they need this kind of thing. Gu Cheng brought the whole lie back, and then lost no time in saying, "But this set of shots just now was really not good." When the vista was pulled back, we didn't have a good grasp of the speed of the car, we couldn't keep up with the speed of the focal pullback, and the car was virtual for a while and real for a while - so I think there are some difficult points, but it is better to clearly write the rules of camera movement to the actors. ”

As soon as Chai Zhiping heard this, it still made sense, so he instructed the photographer to do the same.

The photographer looked at the playback on the digital side and felt that the long shot just now was a little blurred, so he could only accept this opinion.

What Gu Cheng said is indeed reasonable, not because he is an investor who oppresses people unreasonably.

As for newcomers such as Yan Chengxu and Zhou Yumin, they couldn't understand what Gu Cheng, Director Cai, and Photography were talking about, so they could only ask the onlookers next to them.

Because it's the start day, all the main actors will be there regardless of whether they have a scene or not. Lin Zhiling, who has been a model several times, happened to stand next to him and read softly: "The lens has a focal length, and the focus is on the distance of how many meters, only that position is the clearest, and it will be virtual if it is far away or close." Because of the optical principle of the lens, the more long-range the telephoto lens, the lower the tolerance for error. When you were driving closer, you didn't strictly match the speed at which the cameraman pulled the focal length closer, so I repeatedly missed it. ”

Yan Chengxu and Zhou Yumin smiled shyly, signaling that they must pay attention next time.

The cameraman called a group of actors who were going to appear on the camera again, took out a temporary draft, and clearly wrote down the speed of moving the camera for a while, so that everyone could get the right time, and drive at a speed of dozens of yards in the first few seconds after the start-up, and about dozens of yards after a few seconds...... A rough three-stage speed distribution is set.

"Have you mastered it?" After the photographer finished speaking, he saw that except for Gu Cheng, the other two leading actors were still confused, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"It should ...... Okay, right?" Yan Chengxu and Zhou Yumin encouraged each other.

The photographer knew at a glance that it was not enough, and compromised: "Let's go through the digital machine first to find the feeling, so as not to waste the film." ”

remake one, except for Gu Cheng, others really can't do it. After all, the close-in speed of optical zoom is non-linear, and how can it be done just by setting the speed of the vehicle in segments? Unless a long lens is cut and only a few small clips are left.

Director Cai on the side looked anxious, and immediately decided: "That's it, Lao Yang, let Mr. Gu follow your mirror for a while, he walks steadily, Yan Chengxu is more than 20 meters in front of Mr. Gu, let him sway from side to side, fast and slow-isn't the role of Daoming Temple originally more arrogant, and it is in contrast to Hua Ze's movement." Don't pursue a clear picture of Daoming Temple driving, a little bit of fiction just highlights his arrogance. ”

The photographer listens and makes adjustments again.

"ACTION!" shouted from the scene of the board, and the shooting began.

The photographer stares at the frame, silently counting the rhythm and focusing. Since Gu Cheng pointed out the problem of cooperation, he naturally cared about this very much. Now that the remake is being made, it is immediately clear that the gap is coming.

Yan Chengxu's Daoming Temple driving is completely like ADHD, a void and a flicker. However, Gu Cheng's Hua Ze class always accurately stays at the best distance from the camera movement.

A Rolls-Royce is more than 6 meters long, and a 6-meter error on the telephoto lens will definitely cause a certain part of the body to blur. But Gu Cheng was able to keep the sign of the angel in the front of the Rolls-Royce in the most real place of the camera.

A long shot that doesn't have to show his face is so silently pretended. There is no need to highlight "brother is a domineering president" through lines and shouting like a morning drama.

Finally, stopping beside Shancai, Gu Cheng turned his head slightly, elbowed his elbow on the car window, and connected to the close-up dialogue of the next camera.

Originally, because the front windshield of the car was separated between the long-range camera and the actors, the small movements of the people in the car were not obvious, and the director did not ask Yan Chengxu or Gu Cheng to perform - just move to the close-up performance of the No. 2 camera.

But Gu Cheng made a temporary adjustment, asked for a pair of sunglasses props, wore them when driving, and took them off before taking pictures of chatting with Shancai.

Then, the photographer saw the perfect scene.

When the car stopped, a flash of light could be photographed in front of the people in the car from the vista position - when Gu Cheng turned his face sideways, the reflection of the sunglasses lenses on the sky and the shadows of the trees - through the windshield, he relied on the reflection of the sunglasses to show the small, elegant, and cold head movements.

To be able to perform this kind of detail, the acting skills don't have to be awesome, but the cognitive understanding of environmental optics is absolutely top-notch - in other words, it has to be something that an actor who has figured out the work of a gaffer can master.

Even Director Cai, who was looking at the monitor, felt that he was very praised: "Pass, hurry up, while you feel that you are still there, next!"

……

In just half a day, all the plots that happened on the road at the school gate were filmed, and there were dozens of sub-shots before and after. Gu Cheng didn't encounter any difficulties in the morning, but the most difficult thing was to learn how to step on the clutch and shift gears when he first drove a manual transmission car - who let there be no manual transmission car on the earth after 40 years.

After filming, Chai Zhiping asked the assistant to quickly drive all the luxury cars rented at a high price back to Wanbei City and return them - the combined rent of these cars for one day is equivalent to the salary of an episode of F4, and it is not good to overtime.

It was precisely for the time to catch the car that everyone delayed until two or three o'clock in the afternoon to have lunch after filming the scene with the car.

Everyone is the same bento, braised pork rice with barbecued chicken, with some vegetables, there is no advantage or disadvantage. Gu Cheng also took two lunch boxes very casually, found a place to sit down in the sun, and several other boys sat close together, chatting while eating.

It's December, and even in the tropical bay, it's still a little cool.

Yan Chengxu and Zhou Yumin soon discovered that Gu Cheng was not as difficult as they imagined to be a "demanding investor". Gu Cheng is more than three years younger than any of them, but he is very calm, no matter what topic he talks to, he can always have a half-understanding, and he seems to be very knowledgeable.

The girls are afraid of tanning, and even if they endure the cold, they have to eat in a shady place. Xu Xiyuan and Yang Chenlin, who had a role that day, got together with Lin Zhiling, who had no role, and gossiped while eating.

"Sister Ling, has Gu Cheng ever filmed before, how do you feel that he understands everything. "Yang Chenlin is the youngest character in the crew, even half a year younger than Gu Cheng, she has only sung for two years and has never filmed a TV series. There is no city in the chest, so it is natural to ask what to catch.

"I don't know, I've only known Mr. Gu for two months. Lin Zhiling said politely, to show that he didn't know more insiders.

Yang Chenlin blurted out in surprise: "Eh, it's impossible, aren't you Gu Cheng 'bringing capital into the group'." ”

Xu Xiyuan, who was concentrating on dealing with barbecued pork chicken on the side, heard this, and said in her heart: What about your little girl? How can anyone say "bring capital into the group" in front of people?

She played awkwardly: "Sister Zhiling, don't take it to heart, Xiao Lin just speaks heartlessly......"

"It's okay, I'm the one who 'brought money into the group'. There's still a lot to learn from you, but I'll do my best. Lin Zhiling smiled slightly, revealing the matter, and then clarified very decently, "However, I don't know why Mr. Gu helped me so much, I don't even think I have any friendship with him - four months ago, I just returned from studying in Toronto, and I entered the National Gallery to find a quiet job." ”

What she said was to clear up the relationship with Gu Cheng: Sister brought money into the group, but Sister definitely didn't let the leader dive, and she wasn't even an insider in the circle.

Xu Xiyuan naturally understood the sound outside the strings, and couldn't help but respect Lin Zhiling and Gu Cheng. She secretly thought in her heart: "I didn't expect that Gu Cheng helped Sister Zhiling into the group, and she didn't sleep with her, but she was a decent gentleman." ”

The three women are all newcomers, there are no big names to play, a little misunderstanding is solved, and they soon entered the mode of huddling together for warmth.

Yang Chenlin praised Gu Cheng's acting skills in the morning, and Xu Xiyuan poured cold water on her: "I played a few scenes with Ah Cheng, and he is not as good as you say, his acting skills can only be said to be better than ours, but he is definitely not first-class." But he knows a lot of things, and he feels that the screenwriter, director, camera, props, and lighting have seen everything. ”

As she spoke, Xu Xiyuan seemed to remember something, turned her head and asked Lin Zhiling: "By the way, Sister Zhiling, this is really his first time in contact with film and television dramas? ”
