Chapter Twenty-Nine: Talent
"Didn't they sign a contract with the company? If you breach the contract, you will be held legally responsible. After listening to Huo Que's story, Laurie said indignantly. Thinking about it, Laurie was still relatively simple, and he didn't expect that since they were going to do this, they must be ready to be sued. If this matter is really instigated by the Valentine family behind the scenes, then he will still be afraid of taking the money for breach of contract, as long as he can make Huo Que's movie not start filming smoothly, Valentine's little son will do anything.
"Sue is definitely going to sue them, but the most important thing now is definitely to find two suitable videographers and sound recorders, otherwise it will be a waste of money for so many of us to wait here." Or lack of hands to grasp the hair, at a loss.
Laurie is also a little anxious, although he was not born in a junior college, but his biggest dream is to be a film director, before that, because he was not born in a professional class, so the director zhì has been wandering in Hollywood for many years, and no crew director has asked him to be an assistant director. Now the best opportunity has come, but I didn't expect another accident on the crew's side.
"Mr. Huo." Laurie suddenly thought of something: "I can introduce you to a photographer and sound recorder, but unfortunately they are not born in a professional class like me, but these two friends are very capable, and they are now working for a large wedding company." The reason why we can get to know each other is because we all have the same dream and want to fight for the film industry, if Mr. Huo is interested, I can contact them here. ”
Huo Que lowered his head and thought for a while. He really doesn't care if he was born in a professional class, just like Laurie, although he has not yet shot a film work independently, but with his talent, if someone guides him, it won't be long before he can shoot a work.
People born in professional classes are only richer in professional knowledge, but not every person who graduates from professional classes is a genius, just like those big-name directors in today's director world, they must have classmates, so why can't other people become big-name directors after being taught by the same teacher? Therefore, talent is very important in the art industry.
"Then you quickly contact them, if they are willing to try, send some of the previous works to me to see, if I think it is okay, I am willing to invite them." At this time, Huo Que had no other way. Of course, if these two people are not capable, he will not complacency, and for his works, he maintains the principle of preferring lack to abundance.
"Okay." Hearing Huo Que's promise, Laurie was also very happy, over the years, he gave up his high-paying career, stubbornly insisted on his irrational ideals, even his parents and relatives did not support him, only his two friends have been cheering him on, so in his heart, he also regarded these two as real friends, and now he has the opportunity to realize the ideals of the three of them at once, and he single-handedly contributed to it, how could he be unhappy?
As soon as Laurie returned to the room, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called his two friends, and then told his two friends the truth about the matter.
In fact, their friends also had an encounter with Laurie, that is, because they were not born in a professional class, no one used them, but in order to make a living, they found two jobs that they were unwilling to do, and when they heard that someone here was willing to ask them to serve the film, and it was a movie with an investment of more than 10 million, where would they be lazy, and immediately sent the work that they were satisfied with.
In the age of the Internet, it was really convenient, and it took less than half an hour for two of Laurie's friends to send the work.
This is a wedding live video taken by a newlyweds who spent a lot of money when they got married, Huo Que sat in front of the computer, carefully looking at the angle of the camera and listening to the voices inside.
In the movie, the status of the photographer is definitely higher than that of the recording studio, after all, the sound quality can also be modified in the post-production, such as dubbing, of course, the purest sound on the scene can be recorded, which is of course a good thing.
Therefore, Huo Que pays the most attention to the photographer's shooting techniques.
Just at a glance, Huo Que felt that this photographer was very professional, the lens was very stable, and there was no shaking. Don't think it's a very simple thing to do, give you a DV and then ask you to change the angle to shoot something and the lens will surely shake.
To see if a person can take pictures, you need to see whether his lens is stable or not, which is very simple.
But to see how capable a photographer is, the most important thing is to grasp the light. For example, if you make a horror movie, the picture will be dark and depressing. Just like this video is someone's wedding, then you have to shoot the picture bright and hearty.
Of course, the most important thing is to aggregate the light and set off the protagonist.
The protagonists of the marriage are the bride and groom, and a good photographer will use the light to complement the shortcomings of the protagonist.
For example, if the bride's legs are very short, then he will definitely not aim the camera at her feet, but combine the light to make her legs appear as long as possible.
And those unqualified photographers are you who are very beautiful, but when she shoots them, some shortcomings that cannot be found with the naked eye are revealed.
The heroine in this video is very beautiful, or it may be that the photographer's technique is very famous, as long as the bride appears on the camera, the scene is very beautiful, the light is beautiful, the bride is beautiful, and the picture is beautiful.
Huo Que watched this video like watching a movie, and he was very satisfied. The picture is full of weddings that should be festive, but the most important thing is that he can distinguish the priorities, the highlights that should be highlighted, and the omitted ones, and the nearly half-hour wedding scene is beautiful from beginning to end.
and the sound engineer is also very good, but obviously the sound inside has been post-processed, but it is all live recording, and it does sound very pure, if Huo Que is not a professional, maybe you can't hear that the sound is processed.
"The sound recordist and photographer in this video are your friends?" Huo Que saw that Laurie only gave him a video, so he asked.
"That's right, they've been working in the same company for a few years now, and now they're a bit famous in the wedding industry." Laurie saw that Huo Que was interested, and he was very happy in his heart, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I also have a role here." ”
"The groom?" Huo Que joked.
"Of course not." Laurie was made red by Huo Que's joke: "I am a director, in fact, when I came to apply for the assistant director, the three of us worked in the same company, and the cooperation was not bad and tacit." ”
Hearing that the two of them had been colleagues with Laurie, and they had also filmed some works together, Huo Que immediately became interested: "Then why didn't you show me this video before?" This is a very good shot, when we were in a professional class, we also learned wedding photography, although I don't know if you borrowed something from other people, but this wedding shooting is really good. ”
Being praised in front of someone, Laurie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "I think I have some talent, so I will stick to my dream of becoming a director, if I can't see any hope, I may give up." ”
"I'll let you do it." From Laurie's body, Huo Que saw himself in his previous life: "Someone once said that it is a fool who insists that he should not insist, and it is a wise man who insists that he should insist, and you and I are not stupid." ”
Laurie's nose was sour, and it felt good to meet Bole.
"Call them over and ask them what price they want." Huo Que knew from Laurie's reddened eyes that he was moved, so he changed the subject.
The sensual person is good, at least he doesn't have too deep scheming.
In a hurry, Laurie dialed the phone in front of Huo Que and pressed the speakerphone. On the other end of the phone, when they heard that the crew agreed to hire them, they screamed happily, and when asked how much they wanted, the two replied even more boldly, as long as it can be about the same as the salary of the wedding company, even if it is low, it is nothing.
