Chapter 25 Boot up
…
In front of a dilapidated temple on the set of Clear Water Bay.
Lin Zhengying is directing the main creators of "Happy Ghost" to set up the shrine, while Xu Cun is greeting Zhao Yazhi, Li Zhu and his wife, Xu Jixin, Zhao Zhenqiang and other friends......
When it was about to arrive, Lin Zhengying came to Xu Cun's side and said, "Brother Cun, the auspicious time has arrived." ”
Hearing this, Xu Cun apologized to Li Zhu and the others, and then prepared to worship God.
It's timely.
Xu Cun took all the crew of "Happy Ghost" to worship God.
Xu Cun clasped his hands together and held incense, and said sincerely: "I ask the gods and Buddhas to bless the filming of "Happy Ghost", and the box office is ......a big hit."
Xu Cun finished incense, Lin Zhengying incense, then Li Wo, and then Dong Wei......
After worshipping God and sending Zhao Yazhi and other guests away, Xu Cun began to discuss with Li Wo how to arrange the broken temple - the entire crew, in terms of Li Wo's seniority, plus Li Wo is still Li Zhu's cousin, and Xu Cun has been promoted, so Xu Cun spoke to Li Wo very politely.
At first, Livo didn't say anything, just listened - to be honest, he wasn't optimistic about the crew of "Happy Ghost", and he didn't think that a crew that was almost all newcomers except for him could make any decent films.
However, when Xu Cun began to give orders, Li Wo knew that he was wrong - Xu Cun was very familiar with making movies, at least Xu Cun was very familiar with props, and for the arrangement of some scenes, Xu Cun's methods were even more clever than him, a Taoist dramatist who had been working for more than 20 years.
Therefore, the shrewd Li Wo didn't dare to underestimate Xu Cun anymore, and he did his best to do Xu Cun's explanations to him.
After explaining to Li Wo, Xu Cun went to the temporary dressing room built by the props team.
As soon as he entered the dressing room, Xu Cun said to Xiaolan: "Go and bring the scissors." ”
Lin Jingjing, Lin Xiaohua, and Yan Ruyu are all students, so Xu Cun doesn't need to put too much makeup on Luo Meiwei, Li Saifeng, and Wen Bixuan. What Xu Cun needs to do is to design a more playful hairstyle for Luo Meiwei and Li Saifeng to highlight their youth and beauty, and design a cute and not too beautiful look for Wen Bixuan. In addition, since the eldest of Li Saifeng's three was less than fourteen years old, Xu Cun had to use makeup to make them look a little older.
Xu Cun first took Luo Meiwei under the knife.
"Whew!" "Whew!" "Whew!" ......
After dozens of cuts, Xu Cun designed a playful hairstyle for her on the basis of Luo Meiwei's original hairstyle.
The second is Li Saifeng.
Xu Cun designed a beautiful hairstyle for her on the basis of Li Saifeng's original hairstyle.
The third is Wen Bixuan.
Wen Bixuan's hairstyle is the most troublesome among the three, and it is also the most changeable. Moreover, after styling her hairstyle, Xu Cun also deliberately found her a flat-light glasses with large frames, which made her obviously very cute.
Then, Xu Cun simply put on makeup for Luo Meiwei, Li Saifeng, and Wen Bixuan one by one.
After Luo Meiwei's three daughters put on the clothes that Xu Cun personally picked for them, they walked in the mirror and looked in the mirror.
Luo Meiwei and Li Saifeng's faces immediately filled with irrepressible smiles - obviously, they were extremely satisfied with their new looks.
is different from Luo Meiwei and Li Saifeng's elation, Wen Bixuan began to pout after looking in the mirror - her appearance is not tight or beautiful, and the flat-light glasses with large frames even cover most of her small face, making it difficult for others to recognize her true face, which makes her happy if she wants to be famous with "Happy Ghost"?
At this moment, how could Xu Cun be in the mood to care what Wen Bixuan was thinking? After Luo Meiwei's three daughters left the dressing room, Xu Cun asked Xiaolan to call Dong Wei and the others.
This time, Xu Cun didn't do it himself, he just instructed Xiaolan to make up and design these people on the side - a team with combat effectiveness can never be supported by one person. Therefore, from now on, Xu Cun will consciously exercise the team.
After the main actor's modeling design was almost finished, Xu Cun let Xiaolan play by herself, and he went to confirm the location of the camera with Zhong Zhiwen.
Xu Cun's storyboard script is very detailed, and Zhong Zhiwen is a rare photography master. Therefore, Xu Cun only watched it once, and then went to find a sound engineer......
……
After all, it's an all-newcomer team. Therefore, when you are ready, it is time for your lunch break.
The sky is big, the earth is big, and the food is the biggest, so Xu Cun ordered to start a lunch break.
Xu Cun finished the boxed lunch in a few bites, and then inspected all the departments again, and then returned to the dressing room to put on his own makeup and costumes......
……
The lunch break is over, and "Happy Ghost" is just in time to start!
"The actors are in their own places!"
"Lights ready!"
"Prop ready!"
"Animation ready!"
"Camera ready!"
The first shot of the first scene of "Happy Ghost", Ikesh!
The moment Lin Zhengying took the clipboard, a heavy rain fell outside the ruined temple covered by a black cloth, and the white light in the ruined temple flickered......
Xu Cun held a camera in his hand and used a long lens to shoot the scene inside the ruined temple......
What puzzled Zhong Zhiwen was that Xu Cun did not use the lens to push flat - at some point, Xu Cun would use a very fast speed to shake the camera in his hand.
The basic techniques of photography are nothing more than pushing, pulling, shaking, moving, pitching, tilting, following, and chasing. As a master photographer, Zhong Zhiwen naturally knows these techniques. Moreover, he had used and seen each technique countless times. However, Zhong Zhiwen has never seen anyone shake the camera so casually and so widely, especially in the process of shooting long shots - if he didn't know that Xu Cun was a master photographer, Zhong Zhiwen would definitely think that Xu Cun was fooling.
However, although Zhong Zhiwen knew that Xu Cun must have Xu Cun's deep meaning in this shooting, he still couldn't help but suspect that Xu Cun would shoot a black and blurry shadow this time.
Therefore, after Xu Cun shouted, Zhong Zhiwen immediately came to Xu Cun's side and watched the long shot that Xu Cun had just shot.
At a glance, Zhong Zhiwen's eyes suddenly widened and he showed a look of disbelief - the picture taken by Xu Cun was not only clear and abnormal, but also exuded some terrifying and weird atmosphere, and the most important thing was that this atmosphere did not have the slightest sense of disobedience in the entire long shot.
Just when Zhong Zhiwen recalled Xu Cun's shooting technique just now, Xu Cun sorted out the costume and said, "Prepare for the next one." ”
……
As an old man who has been in the film industry for half his life, Li Vo is really eye-opening today!
Although almost all of the crew were newcomers, the film was shot faster than any crew that Rivo had worked with before — in general, as long as it wasn't the actors' mistakes. Li Wo thought that he would have to shoot for at least two days in this dilapidated temple, but Xu Cun only spent one afternoon and added a little darkness to finish the filming.
If it were just fast, Rivo would not have admitted that he had opened his eyes. What convinced Li Wo was that after watching the film, except for the acting skills of several actors, he couldn't find any fault.
When packing up the props, Li Wo looked at Xu Cun, who was directing the crew to install equipment, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves......
