Chapter Thirty-Four: The First Shot

Chen Tiandu took the "Sixth Sense" storyboard script and explained to photographer Ayman ** Lubezki how to shoot the first set of shots later.

Aiman** was also selected by Chen Tiandu from the list of photographers provided by Katzenberg.

Born in Mexico City, Mexico, he is a Jew and Mexican cinematographer. It is not yet known, but it is clear that his photographic techniques are groundbreaking and his personal style is unmistakable. If the future doesn't change, then he will win the Oscar for Best Cinematography for "Gravity".

Chen Tian is a rookie director, but in the crew, he doesn't need to express such things as "tiger body shock" and "majesty".

Filming in the United States is different from that in China, the mainland pays attention to the hierarchy, unless it is the kind of famous star, anyone has to give face to the director, because the director dominates the crew, he is unhappy, if you have no background, let whoever get out of the way.

And he has heard a lot about the situation of Hong Kong films across the river, and the power of the director in the crew is definitely not great, because there are also producers, lighting, and photography.

Producers are generally representatives sent by film companies and investors, and they can't afford to offend. If you offend the lamp, if you offend the lamp, you can make the crew suffer a lot of losses if you hit the lights randomly during the shooting, at least a set of shots will have to be reshot. Photography is the same, no matter how well your actor acts, no matter how good the director's overall grasp is, if the photography is not hard, there is no choice but to shoot anywhere.

It is a special cultural composition, and most of the backbone are a group of people who have experienced the golden age of Hong Kong films, most of them are from the market, their cultural literacy is not high, and it is normal to be full of swear words at every turn. If you meet a director who is more elegant, if you can't control the scene, you are afraid that you will be angry after only two or three sentences.

Hollywood is different, everyone has a good professionalism, and his newly assembled crew members are also very young.

In this crew, it is obviously the producer Katzenberg who is the biggest, and with this great god in town, there are rebellious people who can't make a trick.

Whether you are a director or a producer, if he thinks something is good or something is wrong, he will argue and theorize with you.

If you can't convince him, then listen to his opinion, sometimes there may be unexpected results.

The director not only needs the ability to direct, but also the ability to control his subordinates, and for the director, the rest of the crew is his subordinates. From small to miscellaneous to big stars, they are all within his control range. Only when the director controls everything in the palm of his hand, can he gather strength to make a good film.

But it is absolutely easy to see whether a director has the ability to shoot, how to shoot a scene, how to schedule shots and camera positions, how to adjust the actors' feelings, how to arrange the scene, this is all exquisite, it can be said that live shooting is an exam, if the director has no real skills, he will be looked down upon, and then affect the confidence of the whole crew.

If even the director is like that, can the movie made be a good film?

Since it's a bad movie, it doesn't matter if you do it casually?

Fortunately, Chen Tian is really talented and learned, and the explanations of several shots are very accurate and capable, he can give you a pointer or two when you ask, and the rest is enough for professionals.

Watching the photographers and actors in place, waiting for him to give orders, the excitement in Chen Tiandu's heart was indescribable, thinking about the sad and short-term crew career in the past, when he was still in school, he silently followed one crew after another to go south and north regardless of the cold and summer, so that one day he could personally take charge of the director.

Now, he can finally stand behind the monitor and control Yiqiē, as long as the movie is filmed, he doesn't need to wait for anyone to give him a chance, his chance will always be in his own hands in the future.

It's a good feeling!

Charlize Theron, Kate Bergekin, Vin Diesel, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Photographer, Gaffer, Radio...... The focus of everyone on the set was on him, Chen Tiandu exhaled deeply, and said in a flat tone: "Let's start." ”

"The First Set of Shots of The Sixth Sense, Act I, Anet!" The scene notes loudly hit the board and officially started filming.

The lights dimmed instantly, and the first shot started with a dim yellow tungsten lamp that gradually lit up in the darkness.

It's an underground wine cellar, and Charlize Theron appears in a long skirt and high heels and steps up a wooden staircase, and she comes to the basement to get wine. The winter in Philadelphia was still very cold, so she chose a long day, shivered suddenly, grabbed a bottle of wine and ran up the stairs quickly.

The construction of two shots, one behind a wooden frame and one inside a pitch-black door, captures Charlle's shadow on the mottled wall.

After cutting back and forth twice, Aiman** is easy to operate and stress-free.

"Good, prepare for the next scene!" Chen Tiandu shouted.

Such a simple shot, coupled with such a clear explanation, there is no need to go through it a second time, Chen Tiandu only watched it once and passed it directly.

"A good start, isn't it."

The crew relaxed a little.

immediately fell into busyness again, and the second shot is the key, because the protagonist Dr. Mai Kang, played by Chen Tiandu, will appear.

Chen Tiandu put on makeup to make his image look more mature.

The reason for finding makeup artist Greg Canon is that he will win the Oscar for Best Makeup that year without any suspense for his superb makeup skills in "Rejuvenation".

Although he is not sophisticated enough now, such a simple makeup task is not difficult for him.

In addition, Chen Tiandu has been basking on the islands of Ireland for a summer, his skin is a little dark, and after Greg Canon's makeup, he seems to be older.

Combed a streamer back, and the person also looks more mature.

Speaking of this streamer back shape, Chen Tian blushed a little. This is set by him with reference to Tony Leung's stills from the movie "In the Mood for Love". "In the Mood for Love" hasn't come out yet, and Chen Tiandu doesn't have the traffic to download that movie, he just watched the trailer and a lot of stills posters.

The reason why he used this shape was that he felt that his eyes were somewhat similar to Tony Leung. And because he's a half-breed, it seems that his eyes are a little deeper. Combing such a type makes it more like a successful middle-aged man.

It just so happens that the most impressive thing in the whole "Sixth Sense" is the sad eyes that are so rich that they almost can't be dissolved, and he must grasp it.

Shirt and trousers vest, holding a glass of red wine.

Chen Tiandu precipitated his feelings a little and made an OK gesture to the assistant director Han Kaowei.

"Okay, the second act is on, anetbsp; The lens baffle fell, Chen Tiandu's eyes changed rapidly, his face was warm, and he casually hooked the medal frame with his fingers with one hand.

Charlize walked into the camera and threw him a sweater, "It's getting colder." ”

Chen Tiandu caught it casually, put down the wine glass, and looked melancholy, "This box is 'really good', 'really' a good box, how much do you think it is......" He asked while dressing, and sat on the sand when he put it on his head, "How much is such a high-end frame worth?" ”

The intonation of the intonation, the slow change of language, especially the casual change of the pitch of the keyword, make people listen to it very novelly. Even Xenberg, who was outside the court, couldn't help but light up his eyes and watched the performance on the field with interest.

Kate's eyes were even brighter, this was a British accent, with a bit of Chen Tiandu's unique tongue curling cavity.

When it should be fast, it is very fast, and when it should be slow, it is very distinctive, and Chen Tian has practiced many times in a slow time. But now it's the first time he's used it for official acting, and it seems to be very good.
