Chapter 696 Scene 696 The level of art

"No...... I'm not going to do CG, those close-ups, we can shoot on film. Li Xiaole raised his hand as a matter of course and made a gesture of "turning": "We shoot one side of the ship, and then shoot the character scene on the other side, we can stitch together the two sets of shots by flipping the negative, there is no need to redo the model color grading or anything, just need to adjust the lighting problem, I have collected all the light data, this should not be difficult." ”

Li Xiaole's analogy, such a simple technique, but Fred and Xu Zhen were stunned, not CG special effects, but just flipping the negative?

"It's a brilliant method...... How did you come up with ......? After Fred reacted, his old face couldn't help trembling, he looked very excited, now everyone is used to using digital cameras in movies, desperately trying to wrap around the special effects, and ignoring the peculiar function of the film camera, although Li Xiaole is just saying, but this idea does give people a subversive feeling.

This is like the filming of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in order to shoot a set of narrow tunnels and caves in the high-speed sliding scene, because the camera is too big to fit in, the prop master has no choice but to dismantle the volume of the entire cave, just to shoot this group of shots, the great director Spielberg had an idea, with the simplest and smallest camera bound to the narrow mountain wall, with a photo to form a perfect shot of 21 frames per second, which is breathtaking.

Li Xiaole's idea is also the same thing~~ It's really whimsical!!

When he found that the three of them were looking at him with respect and even admiration, Li Xiaole couldn't help coughing dryly, and was a little embarrassed, this method was really not invented by him, it was a whimsical idea designed by Nolan after filming "Inception" two years later, and he just used it.

"By the way, in this way, do all the logos, uniforms and patterns have to be mirrored to make the same set of antis?" Fred suddenly thought of something and groaned.

Li Xiaole was stunned for a moment, with a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly nodded as a matter of course: "Didn't I say it just now......?" Of course, you have to make a set of mirrors, otherwise how to shoot? Such a simple question to ask? ”

Fred and Xu Zhen both nodded, both still immersed in the shock of Li Xiaole's brilliant idea to them, and did not react to this "little thing".

After Li Xiaole asked rhetorically, he saw that everyone didn't find any flaws, but his heart was sweating...... It's so dangerous, he really patronized the team to engage in construction, and almost forgot this detail...... If you hadn't done these mirrors, the other side of the movie would have been reversed when the time came...... That's really going to be a big joke, there have been too many things lately, and my mind is messed up, how can I forget this detail......

Although this old Fred has a cold old face all day long, but it really works at the critical moment, if it weren't for him as an art director, I'm afraid it would be really difficult for this movie to be completed at the end of the year, Li Xiaole sighed in his heart that it was too right to invite Fred this time.

Next, under the precise and genius deployment of Li Xiaole, the set team of Black Pearl Company and Bollywood began intense construction, due to Li Xiaole's **** time requirements, many sets and buildings accommodating them were started simultaneously, Xu Zhen's set team was busy building restaurants and buildings, workers were building building roofs on their heads, and new buildings were rising every weekend, just like the American towns during the gold rush.

The news of Black Pearl's construction of a new film and television base in Bollywood immediately spread throughout India, but the entire Indian media did not seem to be very interested in this movie, and many American directors have come to India to make movies, just like the crew of "Slumdog Millionaire" in New Delhi, and their films only make India poorer.

Indians think that Li Xiaole is no different from those high-ranking Americans, but he just shows their country's superiority through the ugliness of India in the movie story...... Didn't do any positive or negative coverage.

There is only one person in India who cares more about the quality of this movie, and that is the original author Jan Martel, who knows how difficult it is to adapt this film from his own novel, and he is worried about the progress of this movie, and Li Xiaole claims that he will finish filming him within half a year, which makes him feel extremely ridiculous.

He even found his old friend, the famous Indian director Rakumar Hirani ("Three Fools in Bollywood", "The Big Brother of the Underworld Strikes Again", "Gangster Doctor Dream") for a crew visit.

They didn't ask Li Xiaole to arrange any entourage for them, but looked around by themselves.

"This Chinese director is really the same as his nickname, he really thinks of himself as Jesus, does he want to create the world in seven days?" Kumar Hillani touched his beard and sighed as he watched the thousands of workers around him busy with the construction of all the buildings.

"He's a really special guy." Jan Martel nodded, when Li Xiaole wanted to buy the adaptation rights of his script, his novel had just been published and was not a big hit, at that time, an unknown Chinese director wanted to buy his film and television adaptation rights, Jan Martel was still quite excited, and transferred it at a very low price, but even Jan Martel himself did not expect that his niche novel would be a successful seller...... Become one of the representative literature of India.

If he had known that this was the case, this story should have been left to directors in his own country, such as Kumar Hillani, who is better than Li Xiaole, a Chinese director......

"I was really scared that he couldn't get a picture of what we were feeling like in India...... You know that he is a Chinese after all. Jan Martel sighed, in the eyes of modern Indians, the Chinese who support Pakistan seem to be the hardliners of the Cold War era, in addition to being good at business and making money, they are far less accomplished in art than they are in India.

In their minds, Bollywood is the world's cinema center that can compete with Hollywood, and they are the only world's major countries that can open up the film market and beat Hollywood movies in their home market.

"yes, I've heard that bastard named Danny Boyle literally filmed our New Delhi in hell...... These foreign directors don't understand our cultural ...... at all" Kumar Hillani shook his head with a wry smile, envious of the huge investment that foreign directors have, and helpless to take advantage of their prejudices.

But when the two stepped into the already built "Lancastria" first-class dining room, they were instantly stunned by the scenery in front of them, this first-class cabin just for shooting a few scenes, the area is enough to accommodate 500 people, the wall lamps, carpets, seats and benches, almost every detail is exactly like the style of the 1947 Nago era, and even the ashtray in the corner next to it is printed with the "Star of India" logo.

The British oil tanker that once traveled between India and Europe seems to have reappeared perfectly in front of his eyes! The two looked down at all kinds of details, and they kept exclaiming, and Li Xiaole's deep-sea shooting wreckage in that dive gave him a deeper understanding of the grasp of the atmosphere of that era and the reproduction of details.

"Yang...... I have to say that this is a masterpiece of craftsmanship that I haven't seen in many years......" Kumar Hilani was extremely shaken in his heart, and stroked every prop here with some excitement:

"This is comparable to the set in "Gone with the Wind", when Vivien Leigh walked down the grand staircase of Tara Manor~~"

In the eyes of ordinary people, they all think that the events of recent decades, the film has made great progress, but people in the industry know that in fact, in the whole world film industry is regressive in terms of the set alone, in the 30s and 40s of the last century, in the golden age of Hollywood, Hollywood movies have appeared in a variety of beautiful large-scale set props, the scale of which is grand, the delicacy of the set is incomparable in this era.

The reason is that in those days, directors were not very good at cutting the shots separately, and they all liked to use a smooth way to shoot the whole picture of various large scenes, which also took pictures like palaces, balls, and even war scenes, and it was necessary to set up a huge and precise panorama.

Unlike now, the camera switches quickly, only shooting in a small part, and the lens is mainly focused on the characters, trying to fade the background~

This is also one of the reasons why fans of the current world will feel that those old Hollywood movies are particularly amorous when they watch old movies.

In order to recreate these scenes, Li Xiaole invited four design teams to participate in the production of the film, one British, two Indian, and one French, and he showed them the footage of his own shooting of the underwater wreckage, and asked them to design the drawings so that they could recreate everything in the past.

Jan Martel looked at the decoration of the interior with real oak columns and oak planks, and the escalator columns, which were reproduced exactly as they were from the "Lancastria" that he had collected over the decades, and when the literary artist stood at the foot of the grand staircase and saw that the scene he had carefully studied and described in his mind countless times had been reproduced so realistically and beautifully, he almost burst into tears with emotion.

"It's just amazing...... It's amazing......" Jan Martel muttered to himself in despair, completely blown away by what he saw, and for the first time he felt that it was really possible for his novel to be recreated on the big screen.

Kumar Hiranine was amazed by everything in front of him, and at the same time, he sighed for Li Xiaole in his heart from the perspective of a director......

The Chinese director was so ambitious that the scene reminded him of Cleopatra, which had a huge investment in the '60s, but the film was recognized as an epic masterpiece in the film industry, and the set was so gorgeous and realistic, but after its release, it failed at the box office and nearly bankrupted Fox......

And now, the Black Pearl company seems to be following in the footsteps of Cleopatra...... Paying too much price for a good movie that is beautiful and beautiful may end up destroying this film company is not necessarily ......"no...... I'm not going to do CG, those close-ups, we can shoot on film. Li Xiaole raised his hand as a matter of course and made a gesture of "turning": "We shoot one side of the ship, and then shoot the character scene on the other side, we can stitch together the two sets of shots by flipping the negative, there is no need to redo the model color grading or anything, just need to adjust the lighting problem, I have collected all the light data, this should not be difficult." ”
