Chapter Twenty-Nine: He Actually Filmed This

Cheng Peng didn't expect Wang Qinian to be in Yueben, but he was quickly relieved, lighting, soundtrack and art have always been the strengths of Yueben Film and Television, and there is no separate lighting award for the Oscars in the United States, but the Academy Film Award has the best lighting, which shows that they attach great importance to lighting.

It is not easy to find a lighting engineer of this level, this kind of talent must not be let go, Cheng Peng plans to go to Yuben and invite him back.

The main creators of the crew entered the office one after another, sat together, and discussed the preparations for the crew.

The topic soon came to the lights again, and Chen Shaoping told Spielberg about it.

Hearing the VOD company, Zhang Meng's expression became strange: "VOD is a wool film company, specializing in wool films, Usui Rie and Mizuki Yuna are the most famous actresses in their company. ”

Cheng Peng and Chen Shaoping looked at each other, Spielberg turned out to be the lighting engineer of Chengren's film, no wonder he has always refused to say what works he has made, this can't be said!

Cheng Peng was originally quite optimistic about Wang Qinian, but now he is a little uncertain, not that he has any prejudice and discrimination against Chengren films, what people do is also the work of entertaining the masses, serving the masses, and has a good educational effect on young people. But most of these kinds of films are crudely produced and the standard is very low, how can a high-level gaffer run to shoot this?

He pondered for a while, decided to take a look at Wang Qinian's works, looked up at Zhang Meng, and asked: Mengzi, are there any films from the VOD company, find two to come out, and everyone will see what his level is. ”

Zhang Meng coughed, glanced at Zhao Linlin, and said with a sneer: "Yes, yes, it's in the notebook, it's just, there's a lady here!" ”

Cheng Peng then remembered that there was a female surname next to him, and it was really inappropriate to put Chengren's movie now, so he said with a serious face: "Comrade Linlin, you go out to rest and rest, and we will study Wang Qinian's lighting." ”

Zhao Linlin couldn't stand his serious appearance, just watching a movie, as for it, she "cut" and said, "Why should I go out?" Anyway, I'm also an executive producer, isn't it just a movie, do you think I haven't seen it? Besides, this is a serious academic issue, okay if the thoughts should not be so dirty? ”

It is indeed a serious academic issue, and my own thoughts are dirty. Cheng Peng gestured to Zhang Meng: "Mengzi, bring the notebook, let's study it!" ”

Zhang Meng moved the notebook over, put it in front of Cheng Peng, glanced at Zhao Linlin, picked up the mouse a little weakly, clicked it twice, opened the folder, and said, "These are all these." ”

Tesa Yaka, Okita Rino, Nikaido Hitomi, Ai Iijima, Iida Natsuho, Iizuka Tomoko...... I'll go, it's too many, hundreds of them!

Looking at the name of the folder again, I am absolutely stunned, "Rapid Speech", this name is so good, after watching the two films, I can definitely speak fluently "Ya Yan Butterfly", which is definitely a quick speech!

Cheng Peng knows Gao Shu Maria and Muto Lan, who are entry-level rookies, and he can really only worship in the face of a master like Zhang Meng: "Amazing, so many people, which ones are VOD companies?" ”

Zhang Meng pointed to a file on the display screen and said, "This Usui is painted in the painting, and there is also Yuna Mitsuki." ”

Usui is painted, I haven't heard of it at all, and I don't know what it looks like!

Cheng Peng clicked on the file, the player became larger, and a woman appeared in the display screen.

Usui Rie sits on a bed and whispers a few words to the camera, and then a lewd-looking man who looks a bit like a monkey walks into the camera and sits down next to her, kissing her and rubbing her breasts.

Usui Rie's reaction was particularly loud, and she screamed, and the bone-soft voice rippled through the office.

I'll go, don't you just rub your breasts, why do you call it so loud, it's too much, bad reviews!

Cheng Peng's heart was a little hairy, and he quickly turned off the sound, if this situation was seen by others, he didn't know what he would say? Director Cheng Peng led the crew members to watch the film collectively, which makes people feel chills down their spines when they think about it!

In the scream, the lewd man ripped open the shirt painted by Usui Li, revealing the firm chest wrapped in underwear, Cheng Peng quickly clicked the pause, there is a lady present, it is really inappropriate to put it down, and these contents are enough to see the level of the lighting engineer.

He pointed to the face painted by Usui on the computer monitor, and said to a few people around him: "This light is good, and the gaffer is of a very high standard." ”

Zhang Meng, Chen Shaoping, and Yu Duoduo all nodded and said, "Yes, the light is very good." ”

Recording engineer Li Zhenhao doesn't understand lighting and can't tell whether it's good or bad, but he doesn't talk much.

Zhao Linlin is a straightforward person, so she asked if she didn't understand: "How do you see it, this light looks ordinary and nothing special?" ”

Cheng Peng glanced at Chen Shaoping and said, "Shaoping, you are a photographer and know more about lighting, explain it to Linlin!" ”

Chen Shaoping smiled, pointed to the display screen and said: "The environment in which these two people are located is a bedroom, their identities are couples, the whole atmosphere is warm and romantic, the contrast between light and dark in this scene is 1:2 is the most appropriate, and romantic movies are generally this kind of lighting." If the shadows are heavier, the picture will be on the hard side and lack the softness that a romantic scene should have. If the brightness is stronger and there are no shadows, the facial features of the characters will lose their three-dimensionality, so the ratio of 1:2 is the most appropriate, and you can see that the chiaroscuro on their faces is 1:2. ”

Zhao Linlin still didn't understand: "Since it's all this kind of light, it's very common, can't it be said to be clever?" ”

Chen Shaoping explained: "This is a fixed lens, and the camera has not moved. First, the heroine is talking to the camera, and when the male protagonist comes in, there is one more person in the picture, the double lighting is different from the single lighting, and the heroine is not facing the camera, but facing the camera sideways, she is looking at the male protagonist's face. There is one more person, the angle has also changed, and under normal circumstances, the light and shadow will definitely change, but when you look at the heroine's face, the light and shadow have hardly changed. This person took this into account when setting up the light, placing the light source in the best position and minimizing the change of light and shadow. Needless to say, definitely a master! ”

Zhao Linlin nodded, a little understood: "Then how did he set it up?" ”

"This ......" Chen Shaoping was a little dumbfounded at this moment, he could see that this light was good, but he couldn't see how this light was arranged, "Director, I can see that this is a three-point lighting, but how to achieve this effect, I really can't see it, it's better for you to say!" ”

Cheng Peng didn't think that Chen Shaoping couldn't see it, this guy was still a photographer, he couldn't see it, he used to look up to him. He shook his head and said, "Yes, this is a typical three-point lighting, the main light is on her left, the auxiliary light is on her right, and there is a contour light behind her." Under normal circumstances, the main light will be arranged at an angle of about 45 degrees, and the contour light will be arranged at an angle of about 45 degrees on the other side. But his main light is arranged at an angle of more than 30 degrees, so that when it becomes a side face, the angle is not so large, and it is also arranged with other decorative lights to correct, so the light and shadow do not change much. ”

I really saw it, no wonder I was able to win Spielberg, this guy is really good! Chen Shaoping gave a thumbs up directly, and now he was completely convinced by Cheng Peng.

Yu Duoduo is an art designer, and he also has some research on lighting, but he didn't see how this light was arranged, looking at Cheng Peng's eyes flickered, and his face was admired: "Amazing!" ”

Zhang Meng slapped Cheng Peng directly on the shoulder, shook his head with a smile, and said: "In the future, I will definitely find you to be a lighting engineer when I make movies, you kid is really good!" ”

For Zhao Linlin, what Cheng Peng said was too complicated, she didn't even know what the main light was and what the auxiliary light was, but she didn't plan to delve into it, she was just curious, so she said: "Cheng Peng, you put a light that doesn't play well to take a look, I want to see what the light that doesn't play well looks like." ”

"Okay!"

Cheng Peng casually clicked on a work by Muto Lan, he didn't know Muto Lan in his life, and it was in vain to read all the A movies! It's a pity that Mr. Muto retired early, otherwise it would be Sora Aoi's turn.

On the display screen, Mr. Muto, who was off work at night, walked through an alley, and suddenly two men burst out of the darkness, covered her mouth with handkerchiefs, and made her faint. Then the camera cuts to a room where Muto-sensei is lying on the ground and two men are tearing at her clothes.

Cheng Peng pressed the pause, pointed to the picture, and said, "This light is very poor, and it is too bright." This is not a warm love scene, the atmosphere is relatively heavy, even if the contrast ratio is not 1:8 under normal circumstances, but 1:6 should be there, right? And this light is too bright, it doesn't match the overall atmosphere, there is no sense of urgency, and it can't make the audience feel nervous and exciting. ”

……

In the afternoon, Cheng Peng sent an email to Wang Qinian, telling him that he would go to Osaka as soon as possible, but Wang Qinian's reply was only one word "En", which made Cheng Peng angry enough.

However, it takes half a month to apply for a visa to Yueben, and Cheng Peng can just use this time to determine the actors, so that he can start the film after returning from Yueben.

There are relatively few roles in the movie "The Two of Us", the main characters are the old lady and the girl pony, and the other characters have very few scenes and are irrelevant.

Cheng Peng has repeatedly considered the role of Xiaoma, and Tong Liyu's surname and experience are more suitable, but her time to learn acting is too short, and her acting skills are too tender, so it is a trivial matter to let her play the film, but it will definitely slow down the progress of filming, so she has to give up.

If you have plenty of money, Zhou Xun is the best choice, her acting skills are very good, and she has been a North Drifter, so she can experience the loneliness of ponies in a strange city. But Zhou Xun is already a big star, and he is one of the four little flowers, so please don't move if you don't have a salary of one or two million.

Cheng Peng also considered Zhang Jingchu, she has the same identity as Xiaoma, both are students of the Chinese Opera Directing Department, but now she is filming Gu Changwei's "Peacock", and there is no schedule.

After thinking about it, Cheng Peng thought of Yang Fan, Yang Fan has more experience in performing, her face is not as round as later, and the lines are a little hard, which is in line with Xiaoma's stubborn image, and her surname is also somewhat similar to Xiaoma, which is a good choice.

Yang Fan is a contracted actor of Rong Xinda Film and Television Company founded by Li Shaohong, and Cheng Peng asked Zhao Linlin to send an invitation letter to Rong Xinda with the company.
