Chapter 96: Flat Sand and Falling Goose Style
In fact, although the performance is difficult, it is not necessarily the most difficult place, and the props and costumes are not difficult, but the lighting is the difficulty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This is a fully enclosed shooting in the studio, or shooting snow scenes at night, there is no natural light from the outside world, no matter how good the set is, it also needs to be matched with lighting, whether it can be shot well, whether it can shoot artistic effects, it all depends on the level of the gaffer.
The gaffer should be able to fully simulate the real lighting of the snow outside, and make appropriate adjustments according to the director's requirements to make the lens more artistic. If the lighting is not done well, the whole scene will look fake.
At this time, the actors finished the scene, and Director Xu came over to adjust the lighting effects and prepare for filming.
The actors have to cooperate well and see how well they look on camera.
Director Xu held a few exposed scene photos in his hand and compared them with the gaffer.
Zhou Yi listened with great interest and accumulated experience.
According to Director Xu's idea, the lighting of this scene requires freehand, not completely realistic, and uses that kind of poetry to contrast and set off the poignant and bloody broken arm. The lens should be cruel and artistic, highlighting the flaws in perfection and stained with blood in purity.
If the lighting is completely realistically arranged, it is definitely not beautiful, and this artistic conception and mood can be rendered more by freehand techniques.
And the freehand technique is in the same vein as the opening and ending scenes filmed before.
Whether it is "Blood Splattered Changfeng Hall" or "The Great Duel between Good and Evil", they are all filmed in a very freehand way.
This is precisely the biggest difference between this remake and the original work in the previous life, the artistic effect of the lens is very good, the overall atmosphere is better, and the picture is more exquisite and chic, not as realistic and slightly rough as the original work in the previous life. Especially when shooting in a studio, the place is small, so you should pay more attention to this, and the post-production effect will be very good. Director Xu is very experienced, and this broken arm scene is also handled in this way.
Zhou Yi felt that although the lighting arrangement here in the original work in his previous life was not very ideal, the lighting engineer had some ideas.
In fact, the lighting arrangement of this scene in the previous life was still realistic, but it was forcibly exaggerated for the sake of the shooting effect.
But the artistic effect did not get too much amplification.
Some viewers may think that the lighting arrangement of this scene in the previous life is very dramatic, because the front scene is still a dark night, and the back scene is also a dark night, but it is the scene of the broken arm in the middle of the forest, which is as bright as day, and it is too bright. The scene lacks chiaroscuro and the background curtain is fake, which enhances the performance but weakens the artistic effect. Maybe the gaffer wanted to make the brightness effect of the starlight and moonlight reflecting on the snow, but was it really necessary to make it so bright? There is no strong light source around.
According to the script, this scene is a three-watch day, that is, a play at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
It must have been completely dark by then.
Even if it is a snowy night, the snow on the ground is very thick, and the white snow has reflective properties, under the moonlight, the light scattered in the snow will form a mirror reflection or diffuse reflection, so that it is reflected in the air and scattered, and it will appear that the night is very bright, but at most it is brighter than the usual midnight, it will not be as bright as day, the overall tone should be darker, and the exposure of the snow scene in the middle of the night will not be so translucent, and Director Xu is still holding a photo in his hand for comparison. But filming must not be so real, the light is too dark, the audience can't see clearly, and the artistic effect of the lens is gone.
The director must not let the audience see clearly, but also not let the audience feel that the scene is fake.
The technology of the previous life may not work, but it can be done better in this life.
According to the gaffer's idea, the main scene of this broken arm must be illuminated, so that this scene can be filmed well and the picture can be beautiful. You can hang a few white lanterns on the surrounding trees to act as a light source and reflect the snow light, and hang one on each side to light up the surroundings with the "moonlight" in the sky. As long as there is a glimmer of light around, the snow is easy to illuminate.
This is logically from the point of view of physics.
In terms of behavioral logic, Qi Pei and the two senior brothers went to the woods outside to make an appointment with Fang Gang, and it was impossible to fight in the dark, especially in the snow in the forest outside, the road was slippery when it was dark, and it was normal to bring a few lanterns to illuminate.
However, real lanterns cannot be used in filming.
The prop master only needs to make a few appearances, the appearance is white, and the rectangular or cylindrical portable lantern is sufficient, not the red lantern hanging high. This is to accentuate cool tones, not warm tones.
There are no candles inside, they are all special light sources, and the wiring can be covered with fake snow.
These props have already been prepared in advance, so you don't need to prepare them now, just get them from the prop factory.
In this way, the lighting engineer can use a variety of studio lights and reflectors to completely simulate the scene, and through the cross-scattering of lights, the light in the center of the scene can be highlighted, which is convenient for the actors to perform, and it can also make sense logically.
The lighting effect of this scene is indeed different from the previous and subsequent scenes. There are various houses in the front of the Changfeng Hall scene, and there will be snow sweeping, which is naturally not very bright, just highlighting the candle lighting, and the remnant snow scene of the broken bridge in the back, because there is a river under the bridge, it is impossible to have a large piece of snow reflected, only this snow scene in the forest, because the snow on the ground is very thick, no one cleans it, and this scene in the play has to snow, in the case of moonlight shining and lights and candles around, it should be exposed more brightly. Director Xu very much agrees with this idea.
This scene really needs to be exposed brighter for the shooting effect to look good.
As for the background, the crew's curtain is really good, at least Zhou Yi thinks it's very good, it can't be said to be completely simulated, but it's definitely more exquisite and elegant, much better than the background curtain in the previous life. The background curtain of the previous life was limited to technical means, and it can't be said that it was not done well, but the effect was not ideal, the whole background had some flaws, and it looked very fake, and the technical means were not good at that time, and there was no need for future generations to be picky, and now it can really be done better. Even with the main scene being highly exposed, the background curtain is on the camera, and it still doesn't look too fake.
This was shot in a studio, the space is limited, the background looks far away, but it's actually very close, so it doesn't look fake, which shows that the skills of these behind-the-scenes people are really strong and breathtaking, which is good enough.
Director Xu is capricious, and there is no green screen here.
However, the director has his own director's ideas and artistic considerations, and Zhou Yi doesn't have to worry about it.
Maybe Director Xu wants to keep the overall scenery effect consistent with the art style.
In this snow night scene filmed in the studio, in order to record the dark details as much as possible, when shooting, according to the director's requirements, the main scene exposure does need to be brighter, and the lights are cross-illuminated to achieve the lighting effect of the snow center stage, and the reflector will light up the main scene, and the actors are in the center of the "stage", and the whole scene is shot out, which is more poetic and picturesque. This is no problem, because the color grading in post-production can darken the picture again, and the background is basically unaffected. The way the movie is exposed is different from the usual photo.
Next, the lights are set up and commissioning begins.
Zhou Yi and Qiu Cao stood in the center of this snow stage, looking around, knowing that this was a studio, and there were only 3,000 square meters around, but it felt that this was the outside snow in reality, it was the real scene, the center of the stage was brightly illuminated by the lighting simulation effect, and the surroundings gradually dimmed, and the background curtain seemed far away, with a lot of depth of field, and everything was very real. It's the actor's senses deceived by the set.
can give the actors this kind of personal feeling, and the scene is really remarkable.
Snowflakes will be sprinkled on the roof of the tent later, and it will be absolutely beautiful when illuminated by lights.
In this "real" environment, it is indeed easy for actors to perform into the play.
It's a completely different feeling from shooting on a green screen.
Some actors are filming in front of the green screen, without the stimulation of the real environment, they can't enter the state for a long time, they can't invest in the real feelings, they can only read the script, and they often laugh, which gives the audience the feeling that the actors' acting skills are very bad. Everyone always complains that now there are fewer and fewer acting schools, actors are becoming more and more unprofessional, and their quality is getting lower and lower. But in a real scenario, some actors' acting skills may not be so bad.
Real scenes are indeed easier to get actors into the play than prop scenes.
In addition to big productions, some big directors don't always like to use green screens, and prefer to use real scenes to stimulate actors into the play.
Although the scene in front of me is also a prop scene, it is very real.
Because it doesn't use a green screen at all.
In order to make the actors more involved in the play, Director Xu had already instructed the field staff to turn off the air conditioner, although it was not ventilated with the outside world, the temperature in the studio would definitely drop. In this way, the actors are equivalent to performing in the ice and snow that is close to reality.
The staff around were wearing thick clothes, so naturally there was no problem.
It's a fully realistic shot, but the artistic effect is well done.
In order to get the best effect, the actors also worked hard, but they were not afraid of the cold, in fact, the costumes were very thick, and it was better to shoot winter scenes. If the temperature in the studio is high, maybe the actors will still be hot! When you sweat in the heat, the makeup will be spent, but it is not good.
When everything is ready, filming will officially begin.
Zhou Yi and Qiu Cao followed the director's lens design, took their places on the forest path, and all stood up, first shooting the overall large panoramic shot. This panoramic shot is very artistic, comparable to the close-up of the panoramic view of the Nagafudo in front of it, and the panoramic scene of corpses everywhere.
In terms of artistic effects, it is much better than the original in the previous life.
After filming this scene, Zhou Yi and the others have seen the camera and feel that this scene is well shot, and the atmosphere is really well rendered.
What's so good about its artistic effect?
It is mainly a rendering of the overall atmosphere, the lens picture is larger and wider, it is a panoramic large lens shot obliquely from top to bottom, colder in tone than in the previous life, the background color is darker, and under the reflection of the whitish "moonlight" formed by the spotlight above the dark curtain, it looks extremely cold, and even illuminates the surrounding snow scene with a blue and purple color, which is the kind of faint blue-purple tone, only a piece in the middle of the field, which is cross-illuminated by some miserable white lanterns hanging on the surrounding trees, forming a central blazing white snowfield, However, due to the blue and purple snow hues around it, it does seem very cold.
Later, the snowflakes will fall on it, and it will definitely look colder.
It really feels like the moonlight is as cool as water.
The lanterns on the trees and the moonlight on the curtain also look cold.
The moonlight shines on the snow, and the coolness is refreshing.
This is a large panorama with very cold tones, and the atmosphere is very cold, which also foreshadows the cruel coldness after the broken arm in the back.
For this grasp of the overall atmosphere, Director Xu is very good.
The picture of the original work in the previous life, in Zhou Yi's opinion, is indeed warmer in comparison, not as cold as Director Xu's shooting, mainly because of the color tone and lighting, in this way, it seems that the scene is more fake, and the background is more fake, but fortunately, the actors' performances cover these.
But in this world, Director Xu has obviously done a better job, the picture is sharper, and the atmosphere is more cold.
After shooting this set of shots, it is time to shoot close-up shots, as well as close-ups of both sides.
At this time, there should be a line dialogue.
The filming of the rival drama officially started, and everyone's performances were very serious and their lines were very rigorous. Of course, when the actor says his lines, he doesn't have the winter breath in his mouth, so he can only forget it. Shooting in the studio, the temperature is not enough, it is impossible to have that effect. There is a recording engineer on the scene who uses a pole to set up a radio microphone to record. There is a lighting engineer next to it who uses a reflector to light it. Director Xu is even more strict with each shot. Although everyone has played the scene in advance, some shots still have to be shot repeatedly, and only when the best performance effect is achieved can they pass the test.
In the play, Qi Pei learned that Fang Gang was going to leave the other side, and he did it more than ten times in a row just because of the expression of the on-the-spot reaction before he captured the most perfect close-up, and he wanted to present the complex emotions such as "stunned, surprised, reluctant, aggrieved, and angry" on his face through eye changes and micro-expressions in an instant. Even if you are a student of Chinese opera, it is not easy to play this scene well.
Fooling the past, of course, is it easy, isn't it okay to be in a daze? But it's really hard to play well. However, Qiu Cao was very dedicated and hardworking, and finally met Director Xu's requirements and filmed this shot perfectly.
Zhou Yi was also very satisfied, and felt that Qiu Cao did a good job.
Some actors always complain that they have no lines in the play and can't play it, but in fact, some plays don't use lines, and they have to be performed well and can be brilliant. If you don't use lines, you can't play well, even if you are given a few lines, can you play well?
If your line skills are not up to par and you don't have professional training, maybe it's even worse.
After this literary drama, there are a few simple plays. It is said to be simple, but it is not a random fool, simple and foolish are two different things. No matter whether the action is simple or not, it must be shot beautifully.
As for simplicity, this is a low-handed trick, and of course it can't be filmed like a decisive battle at the end of the film.
Mr. Huang Xifan took several martial artists to guide on the spot.
In fact, this fight scene is quite easy to film, Zhou Yizi needless to say, the martial artist Li Yaoxing who plays the opposite Senior Brother Sun is Li Yaoxing, the martial artist of the Zhengdong Martial Arts Group, who once played the role of Saifang Shuo Fangdiao in "Chongxiao Tower", and there is no problem with the filming scene.
The two fought each other, and they didn't even need to hang a steel wire at all, and they shot directly.
The fighting action is indeed very beautiful, and it is definitely different from the action in the previous life.
Fang Gang played by Zhou Yi in the opening scene first let the other party make three moves, Senior Brother Sun slashed wildly with a knife, but was dodged and avoided by Fang Gang, and then he slashed with a knife, Fang Gang jumped back again to avoid, and then Senior Brother Sun swept the legs below, swept up all the snow on the ground, and spread it out with a bang, which was very beautiful. Here I need the help of the martial artists to solve it with some technical means.
In order to avoid the snow, Fang Gang jumped backwards with a big sliding step, and here he used slow motion when making it, which was very chic and beautiful, and at the same time there was a close-up of the footsteps in the air. Senior Brother Sun took advantage of the help of the snow to show the way, and stabbed forward with a knife immortal.
This ferocious stab also has a close-up of facing the camera, and the blade pierces through the raised snow, and the cold light is cold.
At this time, Fang Gang was very close to the big tree behind him, and immediately vacated his legs, kicked on the tree, jumped up with his strength, fell backwards, and landed behind Senior Brother Sun. Senior Brother Zheng shouted at the back at the same time to remind his companions to be careful behind him, but he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but his concern for his fellow disciples was also reflected, depending on what he thought.
Because Senior Brother Sun used too much force, he was pushed by Fang Gang, and he stuck a knife into the tree and couldn't pull it out.
Later, Qi Pei covered her mouth in surprise, expressing concern, but she didn't know who she was worried about.
These moves are very coherent and natural, and they highlight the beauty of the shots. Zhou Yi didn't need to hang the wire, he completed the churning and jumping by himself, which was very easy, as long as the martial artists cooperated to support the tree and fix it.
Of course, you need to make use of the surrounding snow and trees.
Next, Senior Brother Sun couldn't pull out the knife, so he suddenly pulled the knife out of the tree, but he didn't control his strength well, and fell directly backwards and sat on a fart mound. When Fang Gang saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and said, "Senior Brother Sun, your butt is backwards, and the sand is falling, and the junior brother is willing to bow down." This line was not written in Zhou Yi's original script, it was added later when the Three Musketeers of Zhengdong revised the script, and then Mr. Huang Xifan designed the fighting action here according to the lines, all of which are division of labor and cooperation, interlocking.
Zhou Yi was very satisfied, so he performed.
Senior Brother Sun was annoyed and angry, picked up the golden knife, got up and pounced on Fang Gang, and continued to fight.
Fang Gang said: "Senior Brother Sun, I'll let you stab you three times, and I'll fight back if I come again." ”
Next, there is a knife fight action scene between the two, which is a straightforward simple action, Mr. Huang Xifan is well designed, and it is very reasonable, after all, it is a low-handed move, Fang Gang will not be a killer, the fight is very simple, but it is also full of sparks, cutting a lot of branches around the trees, and shaking down the snow on the trees. At this time, it is necessary to manually sprinkle snow on it, and the shot is very beautiful.
In the end, Fang Gang won with strength, grabbed the knife empty-handed, and defeated Senior Brother Sun.
The protagonist's opening small test of the fight scene has finally been completed, and the overall effect is very good, I don't know how many times stronger than the fight scene in the original work in the previous life. Director Xu and they were all satisfied, and everyone congratulated them.
Next, after filming Zhou Yi's lines, this scene came to an end.
Then there is the drama of "Fang Gang's Broken Arm".
But it's getting late, the crew has to take a break, everyone has to have dinner, and filming will continue in the evening.
