Chapter Twenty-Four: Xiao Lu's Hand
"Director, where did I start shooting shot shot number 32?" A young photographer couldn't find his bearings, so he stupidly ran over and touched his head.
He is a subordinate of the chief photographer Januz Kaminsky, and he should ask Januz, but now Januz is still in charge of more than a dozen shots, how can he be so careful. Januz was Spielberg's camera when he was filming "Schindler's List", and he was an old partner. For him, he should shoot the main shots of Tom Hanks, and the scene is too big to schedule.
If he can't win the opening scene, he will be in vain Spielberg's reuse.
"Everyone's eyebrows are burning in a hurry, if I'm too laid-back, won't I become a target?" Chen Tiandu felt that he should find something to do, so he took the initiative to stop the photographer, "Your photography lens starts from the bottom corner, and when you see that there are no wooden stakes on the beach, get close to the sea water for 20 centimeters to do waterproof treatment, don't let the sea water get on the lens." When the assault boat rushes over, it shakes the camera within 10 degrees of the undulation of the waves, understand? ”
The young man nodded and held out his hand gratefully, "I want Tiger Watson, thank you assistant director." ”
"Christmas-Chen, you can just call me Christmas, do a good job."
When I turned my head, I saw a broken arm extras still fiddling with their broken arm there, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Most of the group performers of the crew are real soldiers, and when they saw the work card on Chen Tiandu's chest, the man paused for a moment and explained: "Assistant director, where is it more appropriate for me to check where the broken arm is lost for a while?" ”
Chen Tiandu looked at him, he was quite handsome. Looking around, the ground is too low, and when the shooting starts, there will definitely be a pile of corpses.
After a moment's thought, he said, "Remember, your arm will blow off and fall to the ground, and then fall to the ground." Count mentally to eight seconds, then get up, walk back and forth twice with your head down in place, and then pick up your arm from the ground and walk forward. ”
The man hesitated: "Can this work, the director won't blame, will there be a camera shooting?" ”
"If you are told to do it, you will not be blamed if something happens." Chen Tiandu straightened his face, and casually pointed to a young soldier sitting on the beach, "And you, do you want to show your face, make a frightened expression and show me." ”
The soldier who was inexplicably named froze for a moment, and immediately staggered back with his hands on his face, trying to make an expression of fear and wanting to cry on his face.
The performance is very pompous, but it is quite real.
Chen Tiandu had an idea, "After the filming starts for a while, all the comrades-in-arms around you will fall one by one, and you will die immediately, at this time you should be extremely frightened and lose the courage to continue to rush forward." Perform like this for a while, remember that feeling, be more real. If you can actually cry, it's absolutely amazing, and the footage will definitely be saved for the big screen! ”
The soldier nodded in a trance, not knowing whether he heard it or not.
Chen Tiandu hurriedly turned back to the photographer Tiger Watson and told him, "Tiger." ”
"What's the matter, Christmas?"
"Shoot the sea water for three seconds, then turn to the assault boat for five seconds, and then turn to the 9o° direction to shoot the soldier with the broken arm, he will turn around twice and pick up the arm and walk away, and you will take advantage of the situation to aim at the young man next to him, understand?"
Tiger gestured with an OK gesture.
Many soldiers saw that Chen Tian was pointing, and hurriedly raised their hands to ask themselves what to do for a while?
Chen Tiandu answered them one by one, batch after batch, and always patiently explained, "You are all real soldiers, and you should be glad that you were born in peacetime." Think of the ancestors of World War II, when they boarded the 6 boats and looked at the beach, should the soldiers be excited and screaming and charging? No, they should have fear in their hearts, and they are also soldiers, and I think you should be more aware of what it feels like to have a gun on the door of your head. Exhausted and soaking wet, they jumped off the 6th boat, but they were greeted by a dense barrage of bullets. Watching their buddies die and all they can do is climb onto the beach......"
"Guys, don't think about acting, even if it's to pay tribute to your ancestors, you have to show the courage of a modern soldier, from now on, you have to think that you are a World War II soldier, charging on the beach with a gun on your head."
I don't know how much his explanation will help. I'll watch the performance for a while, and just try my best to do my job anyway. He is just one of many assistant directors, and he is more inclined to copywriting, and can only deal with some group performances. As for the shots of the leading actors, naturally Spielberg personally directed.
But the beach is so big, his words and deeds are seen.
Filming started again, as if it really came to World War II.
Even the expressions of the group of soldier actors are in place, as if they have really experienced how frightened the ancestors were many years ago.
The most exaggerated thing is that Chen Tiandu let the young soldier cry just now, crying and screaming all over his face, "Can you fake it any more?" However, this face, with this crazy beach grabbing 6 battles, not to mention, is really quite conspicuous. ”
At the end of the shooting, Spielberg, who was sitting behind the monitor, carefully watched all the shots again.
"Hey, why are there so many jumping shots here, which camera is in charge?" Adam Goodman's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly had a problem.
Chen Tiandu wondered that he and Adam Goodman were both assistant directors, but this one was too arrogant, and the director hadn't spoken yet. But he still stood up, "I asked the photographer to shoot like this." ”
Adam glanced at him and said indifferently: "Look, these shots are turned chaotically, and I haven't figured out where the center of the battlefield is. This lens is even more foolish, with a stiff 9o° horizontal rotation, which captures other photographers in an obvious goof, which is just nonsense. Your work should focus on screenwriting and copywriting, and if you have any ideas, you can bring them up and discuss them, and don't do such a waste of film in the future. ”
"I'm sorry, I took matters into account." Chen Tiandu sincerely apologized.
"Is there only one camera?" Spielberg asked suddenly.
"What?" Adam and the others were stunned, how could there be only one camera, what kind of problem is this?
Only Chen Tian knew what he was asking, "Yes, the mission of Camera Tiger No. 32 is unknown, and it is my fault that I made my own decisions." ”
"Hmm......" Spielberg pondered for a long time, looked at this section of the shot repeatedly, and said: "These sets of shots are very real, what do you think, can you tell me about it?" ”
Chen Tiandu felt that all eyes were focused on himself, this was the first time after the start of filming, and said: "I know that the director wants to shoot more realistically, otherwise the opening part of the first 2o minutes will not be in the form of a time war." My idea is, if you want to shoot in the form of a documentary, can you use a portable camera to track the shooting, just like a war correspondent, making the most intuitive shooting record on the battlefield of guns. ”
"That way the camera won't shake so much?" Toby Hawkins has the best relationship with him, worriedly added.
"That's more real, and besides, we have Mr. Kaminsky here."
Spielberg asked, "But how to solve the color problem, the colors are too bright to fit the atmosphere of the brutal battlefield." I needed a cold sense of realism that wasn't too anachronistic. ”
"Why don't you ask Mr. Kaminski?" Chen Tiandu mentioned, "He is the professional." ”
Kaminsky soon ran over and discussed it together. He deserves to be at the Oscar level, and immediately thought of a solution, "You can use an old-fashioned camera to try, the kind of old-fashioned camera from the 4O years...... No, the light is still a problem, and even if you process the film, it will be troublesome, and it may not be able to achieve the kind of rigid and cold effect you want. ”
Everyone discussed every word you and me, and forgot to continue to reprimand Chen Tiandu.
Chen Tiandu took out his mobile phone and flipped through it, found the machine he said, studied it carefully for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and blurted out: "Mr. Kaminsky, what will happen if you remove the protective glass, can the light directly enter the lens and reflect it, maybe it will be more dispersed and soft than the original." ”
