Bai Yuhan didn't stay in the play for long, and after leaving a script for Zheng Kai, he returned to the crew.

The crew is located in the Lihua Community on Tubo Road, and rented two suites door-to-door, one for several male staff to live together, and the other for female staff and equipment to live together.

In the afternoon, Zhao Dafei brought back a photographer Wang Ke, who was introduced by Manager Chen of the rental company, who had shot a lot of advertisements and was sophisticated. Of course, the asking price is also high, 2,000 a week, and it is counted as a week if it is not sold for a week. Rare things are expensive, and behind the scenes of this industry, photographers are relatively scarce.

"Mr. Wang, I have a few shooting plans, like I would like to ask you for advice." After seeing Wang Ke, after a few polite words, Bai Yuhan asked a question.

"Don't dare to ask for advice, Bai Dao, if you have something, just tell me." Wang Ke is thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and he speaks very politely.

Bai Yuhan was a little embarrassed, but he still took out the storyboard script he drew two days ago: "Mr. Wang, the painting is relatively simple, just look at the general meaning." You see, in my script, because it involves multiple crossings, so there must be multiple protagonists in the same shot, how can this kind of shooting be completed? ”

The storyboard script is no longer as simple as the drawing, but too simple.

On the full page, many small squares were drawn first, and in each small square, there were several stickmen, posing in various poses. However, except for Bai "Yi" Ben Reading "Novel YBDU Yuhan", it is really not easy for others to understand it.

Wang Ke's eyelids were raised, and Bai Yuhan clearly saw surprise in his eyes. He has been exposed to I don't know how many storyboard scripts, but such a shabby and low-key script is probably the first time he has encountered it: "Hehe, it's drawn...... It's kind of interesting. ”

"Heh, heh." Bai Yuhan laughed dryly, his old face didn't know if it was red, and he made up his mind that once he had free time, he would learn to draw, otherwise he would become famous in the future, and he would be embarrassed to come up with such a storyboard script.

"Director, you are a person who plays multiple roles, and the shooting skills are relatively demanding, and the simpler thing is to edit the shots, first shoot separate scenes, and then compress several scenes into the same background by covering up and aerial shooting. Otherwise, do special effects, first find a few stand-ins to shoot together, and finally key the face to composite. ”

"Then you look at my shot, which way is better?"

Wang Ke took the script of the split shot, studied it carefully for a while, and then asked about a few blurred places. Finally, he said: "According to this, these shots can basically be completed by lens editing." There are a few places where you can interact with each other, and you can do some stand-in and substitute stunts. ”

"You can talk about it specifically." Bai Yuhan humbly asked for advice.

"Scenes like this are actually not uncommon, and in many film and television dramas, there are such a person playing two or more roles, and then playing opposite scenes in the same scene. In the past, when shooting with a film camera, I mainly used to superimpose two pieces of film, but now I shoot with a digital camera, and I can just trim the lens......"

Wang Ke explained in detail immediately.

It's not new to shoot with one person playing multiple roles, that is, let the protagonist and the stand-in interact with each other, try the distance between the two, determine the position and lighting, and mark all the paths on the floor. After completion, it is up to the actor to go into battle alone, playing the first role first.

After filming, the camera position, lighting, and set are not changed, but the actors are asked to change the costume to play the second role, and then the third, the fourth, and so on. Once all the shots are finished, you can edit and modify the shots to fit several characters into the same shot.

To shoot such a shot well, the coordination between the actors and the scene is very demanding, and the details are very demanding, and they are limited to the relatively simple shots of the interactive scene.

However, it is certainly less time and effort than spending money on special effects.

……

On the evening of July 5th, the crew, which had been preparing for a long time, finally gathered in the suite for a meeting.

Bai Yuhan stood near the door, holding a script rolled into a cylinder in his hand, and his eyes looked around the entire room.

Sitting on the bench, holding a notebook to write and draw is Li Yumin, assistant to the director; Holding the tripod and debugging the camera is photographer Wang Ke; Smoking a cigarette and with his thighs crossed and his legs crossed was producer Zhao Dafei; The four people sitting side by side on the sofa are Zhang Xian, a lighting engineer and mechanic, Li Xianghua and Zhou Wei, props masters, and Mao Xinxin, an external producer; Standing by the window are recording engineer Xu Houcheng and makeup artist Dou Yu; Drinking water is the assistant director, scene reporter, and drama manager Wang Shun.

Some of them are members of the White Swordsman Studio, and some of them are temporarily recruited staff.

There are also a couple of actors who are reading the script on the side.

"Ahem, I'm going to shoot later, let's say a few words here. As for this commercial, we're going to shoot it as a TV series, and you're not new to it, and I'm sure you'll all be able to do your job well. However, during the filming process, if you encounter any troubles, I hope everyone can bear with me, and it is fate to be able to get together in half a month, right. ”

Bai Yuhan waved the script: "I have been shooting at night for the past few days, and I am more fortunate, and I have enough drinks and supper." I just have one requirement, be sure to cooperate with my command, and strive to complete all the shots with high quality and high quantity...... There's nothing more to say, let's go. ”

Looking at the cast and crew, carrying the equipment downstairs very calmly, Bai Yuhan was a little surprised. The director's talent needs to be strengthened, at least this pre-war mobilization, which is too general, has not had much impact on morale.

"It seems that I will have to practice how to give speeches in the future, and after talking for a long time, I didn't even give a round of applause, and I failed."

went downstairs, the cast and crew all got into the three business cars, and Bai Yuhan also sat in the co-pilot seat of the first car.

A few minutes later, the car arrived at the filming location, a scenic avenue not far from the community. The scenery is beautiful, the street lights are bright, but there are not many pedestrians, which is very suitable for photography.

Before getting out of the car, Bai Yuhan expanded his chest vigorously.

It's a lie to say that you are not nervous, the previously filmed "Happy Little 2b" from the actors to the staff are all acquaintances, and the subsequent filming of "Love Confession" did not use actors, and the crew was only two or three people. This time, it's a standard crew, with a lot of cast and crew, and a circle of extras.

The scene was complicated that Bai Yuhan had never experienced.

You must know that from childhood to adulthood, he has never even worked as a class cadre, let alone commanded such a large group of people.

"Whew, small scene, don't be nervous!"

Taking a deep breath and opening his eyes fiercely, Bai Yuhan pushed the car door and stepped out of the car resolutely.

Smack!

slapped with the script to attract everyone's attention, Bai Yuhan said loudly: "Props, props, take people to decorate the Christmas tree, put on makeup, change clothes for everyone, lights, and arrange magnesium lights and reflectors." Wang Shun, you assign a position to their group performance, hurry up and move, don't rub it off! ”

assigned the work of the staff, Bai Yuhan called Zheng Kai, Li Jinming and Zhao Qi and several other actors over.

"Zhao Qi, there are three groups of your shots tonight, the propagandist of the Christmas wishing activity you play is mainly responsible for shouting, the first is a long shot, the second is a close view, and the third is the background." Bai Yuhan looked at Zhao Qi and said.

Zhao Qi has changed into Santa Claus's costume, because it is summer, but he has to play the winter event, he is dressed thickly, and while fanning the wind with his hands, he puffs and says: "Director, what you said in these three shots is too funny, the long shot, the close view, and the background feel more and more desolate." ”

"It's still bleak, the pace of my advertising drama is relatively fast, and I can have three different shots, which is already a very heavyweight role." Bai Yuhan glanced at Zhao Qi twice, and after changing into Santa Claus's costume, he was somewhat seductive in uniform. The aura of confusion arouses reverie.

"I'm honored to tell you that." Zhao Qi laughed.

Bai Yuhan patted the script again and said to Li Jinming: "Your scene tonight is mainly a rivalry with Zheng Kai, and it is also three shots, one close-up, one moving, and one turning back. and Zheng Kai, you are the most critical, and you have been figuring out the script for several days, so I won't talk about the specifics, now I will arrange a position for you. ”

At that moment, Bai Yuhan explained everyone's position, how they had faced the camera, and where the camera was located, and repeatedly emphasized the details.

"Other actors, when acting, don't focus on the camera, focus on doing what you do, you just come to pay attention to this event, you understand."

"Understood."

Bai Hanyu signaled that he knew, and then looked around, just as Li Yumin came over and said, "Director, the camera, lighting and props are ready, can you start shooting?" ”

"That's it." Bai Yuhan took the big speaker handed by Li Yumin, took a few steps back, stepped out of the range of the camera lens, picked up the speaker and shouted, "Okay, it's all ready, I'll count down to three and start shooting!" 3, 2, 1, go! ”

Wang Shun took the scene record and took a shot, which was written on the first set of shots and the first scenes, and pressed it in front of the camera.

This is where the photography begins.

Bai Yuhan walked behind the camera, looked at the image on the monitor, and did not intend to let go of a single detail.

"Cards!"

Before he started shooting, Bai Yuhan shouted to stop.

"Li Yumin, you go and lean on Wu Kequn's billboard to the edge of the Christmas tree, it's almost out of the camera. Wang Shun, you let the actor in gray clothes, yes, it's her, when you walk up, go to the left a little bit, don't block the camera for Zhao Qi. All set, continue, 3, 2, 1, go! ”

The night is getting deeper, and next to the landscape avenue, the advertising crew is in full swing.
