The crew was relieved to see Cheng Peng smiling with a smile on his face, and humming "Return from Target Shooting" in his mouth, it seems that he had a good conversation with Qiu Zhijie, and now the movie can be filmed normally.

Only Chen Shaoping is a darker guy, thinking to himself, Cheng Peng won't be the one who promised that Sister Lan, right? But also, it's a pity if he doesn't eat soft rice with this look!

Zhang Meng exhaled and asked, "Xiaopeng, how did you talk, what did Qiu Zhijie say?" ”

This is a question that everyone in the crew wants to know, but Cheng Peng's answer is destined to disappoint everyone, he said lightly: "What is there to talk about with him, I beat him up in the past!" ”

The crew was petrified on the spot and beat him up in the past, which is too much of an understatement, right? Do you completely ignore the consequences?

Zhao Linlin pressed her forehead and let out a long sigh, her tone was very helpless: "Why are you so impulsive, what if they call the police?" ”

Cheng Peng shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent: "They have already called the police, but Qiu Zhijie asked me to beat him, he begged me, and I was embarrassed to refuse, so I gave him a few slaps casually!" ”

Zhao Linlin almost didn't vomit blood: "It's all this time, you're still joking!" Big brother, we don't have much time, what should we do now? ”

Cheng Peng patted Zhao Linlin's shoulder, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks!" He raised his head and said loudly: "The others will rest for a while, Mengzi, Linlin, Qi Nian, Shaoping, come over for a while, I have something to discuss with you!" ”

The beating was a blow to the entire crew, it was already troublesome enough, and the director beat people, so the crew had to stop working, right?

Cheng Peng saw Zhang Meng and the others frowning, and comforted with a smile: "How can everyone be depressed, things are not bad to that extent." Listen to me first, we have only been filming for the third day, and the whole crew is already very tired, and the speed of filming is not as fast as the first day, so the filming speed will become slower and slower, not to mention Qiu Zhijie and them making trouble. This yard is a mud pit, and if we continue to stay, it is a question of whether the film will be finished, so we must get out of here as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Meng smiled bitterly: "We all know this, but what can we do now, we can't start shooting again, right?" ”

Cheng Peng showed a smile on his chest and said: "There is a way, use a green screen, first shoot the scene in this courtyard with a camera, and then arrange a green screen in the studio for the actors to perform in front of the green screen, and when the movie is finished, just put the background and the actors together!"

Hearing this ghost idea, Zhao Linlin's head began to hurt, and shouted: "Green screen is very expensive, we have a limited budget, where can we have the money to do this?" ”

Of course, Cheng Peng knows that green screens are expensive, but now there is no other way: "Don't be afraid of increasing costs, the key is that the movie must be completed as soon as possible." Let's not forget, our purpose is the Berlinale and we only have more than two months to go. This year, Berlin is focusing on the 10th anniversary of the abolition of apartheid in South Africa, and "The Two of Us" is about communication and understanding between people, which is very much in line with this year's theme, and it is difficult to say that our films have opportunities in Berlin, but it is difficult to say that we will go to other film festivals, so we have no other choice. ”

Everyone nodded, everyone knew this, only Zhao Linlin was particularly helpless: "You're right, but what about the money?" ”

Money is indeed a problem, especially for young directors, Ning Hao, Lu Chuan, Zhang Meng, who of these young directors has not been troubled by money?

Cheng Peng took a breath and said: "I have roughly calculated that if you use a green screen, it will probably increase the cost by more than one million, but the cost is mainly in the later stage, there is enough time to raise funds, you don't need to worry too much, the most important thing now is to shoot the film first." Qi Nian, you know the green screen best, you can talk about it! ”

Wang Qinian agreed: "Green screen is the same principle as PS cutout, the cost is not as high as imagined, the high cost is the need for additional special effects, our film does not need any special effects, 1 million is about the same." ”

Cheng Peng nodded and said: "I guess I have to go to the detention center in the past few days, Qiu Zhijie thought that the crew would stop work when I went in, and I wouldn't come to make trouble for the time being, you just used this time to shoot the background needed for the movie." How long will it take to complete this? ”

Wang Qinian opened his lighting plan, roughly calculated, and said: "The winter part of the movie is mainly cloudy, and today is just a cloudy day, just shoot it directly." It's just that there are a few scenes that need sunlight, and this one has to be lit first, and then the background is filmed. However, it is not too difficult, and it should be able to complete it all tomorrow! ”

At this time, Cheng Peng was completely relieved, and said solemnly: "The whole crew knows the green screen best is you, and the green screen will be handed over to you, and everyone will listen to your arrangement!" ”

"The green screen layout is not complicated, but there are strict requirements for green, and the green used must conform to the spectrum, and only the cutout behind the spectrum can be cut clean. I don't know which one is suitable for domestic paint, it's best to order it directly from abroad, just use Rosco's green paint. ”

"You can discuss these details with Linlin. Let me talk about other arrangements, we are short of time, the crew must not stop work, we have some street scenes that have not been filmed, and we originally planned to shoot them last, but everyone used the time of the past few days to shoot this part of the scene. I'll leave it to you, Mammo! ”

Zhang Meng nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely shoot it!" ”

……

Cheng Peng walked out of the detention center, raised his head, and let the sun shine on his face, and the autumn breeze blew, refreshing and cool.

I'm finally out, and the air of freedom is cool!

"Hey, what kind of sculpture are you pretending? It's just seven days of detention, how can it feel like seven years of detention! Zhao Linlin's voice came.

Cheng Peng turned his head and looked, Zhao Linlin was standing on the side of the road with a relaxed face, it seemed that the crew was in a good situation, so he smiled: "This is called Du Yu Runian, in fact, I just feel the mood of being released from prison, I am an actor, maybe one day I will play the prisoner who is released from prison." How is the crew, has the green screen part started filming? ”

"I just finished filming the scene on the street yesterday, and everyone is busy in the studio now, just waiting for you to go back, and then the filming will officially start!"

As soon as he heard this, Cheng Peng was excited, he was suffocated in the past few days in the detention center, and he dreamed that he was filming: "Okay, let's leave quickly, it's itchy to not hold or touch the robot for a few days!" ”

After sitting in the car for nearly an hour, Cheng Peng and the others came to Beijing Film Studio, he often came here when he used to play tricks, and he received a lot of white eyes, but now as a director, he actually has a feeling of returning home.

The green screen in the studio has been laid out, and the whole green screen is completely arranged according to the framework of the courtyard, where is the door, where is the wall, where is the step, all are very accurate, so that the green screen actor can more easily understand where he is.

Cheng Peng is very satisfied with this, this really needs professionals to arrange it, this kind of framework is not put up well, and the effect of the later stage will be greatly reduced. "Wuji" is a typical example, there is a bull running scene in the movie, which makes people feel that the cows in it are flying on the ground, which is that the framework in the early stage is not set up.

However, the most difficult thing about the green screen is not how to arrange the green screen itself, but the lighting, because the green screen lighting should not only arrange special lights for the green screen and light up the green screen, but the light must be evenly cleaned and the brightness must be appropriate, otherwise the later cutout will not be clean; At the same time, it is necessary to simulate the state of the natural environment to light the actors, that is to say, the light on the actors must coincide with the background that will be replaced in the future, the direction of the light must be consistent, and the brightness must be consistent, otherwise it will look incongruous.

If you want to replace the background with sunlight, it is even more troublesome, not only to simulate the position of the sun, but also to consider the color of the light. Because the reflection of clouds and fog in the air is different at different times, the color of sunlight varies. For example, the color of the sun is blue at noon, and the color is reddish at sunset.

Cheng Peng is very glad that he found Wang Qinian, otherwise he would never dare to risk green screen shooting, if he let ordinary lighting engineers do the lighting, the final result may be the same as the Huace version of "Dragon Babu", which is a typical failure of green screen lighting.

Before Cheng Peng came back, the photography, recording, and lighting were all ready, and now the actors only need to touch up their makeup, and the crew can officially start filming.

It was the first time for Tong Liyu to perform such a performance in front of the camera, and Cheng Peng felt the need to remind him, so he asked, "Yaya, how do you feel?" ”

Tong Liyu looked at the green screen around him and said, "Green wow, it feels a little weird to act here!" ”

Cheng Peng comforted: "This is the same thing as the non-physical training you usually do, and it is also in this state when you perform sketches, but the stage is painted green." It's a matter of imagination to act in this kind of play, you just have to imagine it as a real scene! ”

Tong Liyu raised her face and said with some pride: "I didn't say that I couldn't act, I just think it's a little weird, this level of performance can't help but be a smart girl!" ”

Cheng Peng smiled, applauded her, and said, "Very good, keep this state, go and touch up your makeup, we're ready to officially start filming!" ”

When the two actors finished touching up their makeup and came to the designated position, Cheng Peng picked up the walkie-talkie and began to issue the password: "All groups are ready, let's start shooting." ”

"Power on, play board, go!"

Jin Yaqin walked forward on crutches, her tone was a little indifferent, and a little arrogant: "If I let you live, you can live, if I don't let you live, you can't live, what right do you have!" Or you go to the telephone office and install a phone! ”

"I've moved away, and I'm not going to fulfill you!" Tong Liyu was a little angry, this old lady was really unreasonable.

"What's wrong with that? Make a friend! The old lady's tone was very relaxed.

"Why don't you let me pull a line!" Tong Liyu was really angry, she stood in the shadows, looking a little helpless.

"Stop!" Cheng Peng shouted, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't stop nodding in his heart, Yaya, the performance is getting better and better!

After making sure that there was no problem with the sound and photography, Cheng Peng announced loudly: "The acting is very good, this one is over!" Attention each group, prepare for the next one! ”
