275 I bought the right to invent the invention
"Oh? Is there such a situation? Wang Xiaohu immediately climbed into the car when he heard this, probably because of the bumpy road, the large camera fixed on the tripod was not bad except for a few clips of the picture shaking, but the picture shot by the portable shoulder camera was a bit miserable!
Unstable picture, chaotic and shaky scenes, just watched the beginning for less than a minute, Wang Xiaohu felt dizzy, irritable, and even seasick and airsick, and endured this strong vomiting reaction, Wang Xiaohu breathed heavily and waved his hand: "It's too bad, this section must be reshot, otherwise the audience will feel tired of the picture and will definitely scold us!" ”
Li Qingsheng, who was in charge of the shoulder-mounted camera, was a little uneasy, he blushed and said: "Boss, I'm very sorry, maybe because of my long-term drinking, my hands are shaking very much now." [Full text reading]"
"Then let me try." No one understands the mood of the apprentice better than Xie Dongshen, and no one wants NG to reshoot, if it is because of the actor's poor performance, it can be forgiven, but because of the photographer, the reshoot is caused by the waste of film, not to mention, and it will also cause the director's dissatisfaction. So he preemptively said before Wang Xiaohu got angry: "Qingsheng, you go back to our place now and bring the photography stabilization bracket, it seems that this scene must be used today." ”
"Photographic Stabilization Stand?" Wang Xiaohu frowned and asked, "What is that?" ”
After Li Qingsheng left, Xie Dongshen said with a smile: "Those of us who do photography know that if you want to get a more stable and clear picture, you must comprehensively use the skills of long and short focus, so it is more of a test of our shoulder and arm strength, but Qingsheng, this kid is a little decadent these days, in order to make the picture he shoots more stable, I pondered this thing, a very simple gadget, but can get a good stable shooting effect." ”
Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "It's really a line of study." ”
Xie Dong Shen saw that Wang Xiaohu did not blame his apprentice for making mistakes and causing the reshoot, and his mood was calmed down, he explained with a smile: "The last time we met, I actually just met with Hollywood photographer Garrett. Brown and John. Milkin talks about the photographic stabilizer, and they're going to buy the idea for $10,000, and then they're going to improve it. ”
Wang Xiaohu is now particularly concerned about promoting the invention and creation of filming, and when he heard Xie Dongshen say this, he hurriedly asked: "Then have you sold it?" ”
"Not yet, I didn't have a settled life for a while, I didn't have a meal, I just wanted to sell that thing, and now I'm shooting a new film with the boss, and we've found a job, so this thing is dragging on, anyway, they're not in a hurry." Xie Dongshen was a little embarrassed when he said this, but Wang Xiaohu could completely understand that if the old Xie master and apprentice had a good life, he would not be forced to sell such gadgets.
Thinking of this, the corners of Wang Xiaohu's mouth curled up and said, "Then don't sell it to any Garrett, just sell it to me, and I'll give you $20,000." ”
"Really?" Xie Dongshen looked at Wang Xiaohu excitedly when he heard this, his eyes flashed with surprise and excitement that could not be concealed.
"What am I lying to you for? But I'll check the goods first, and if it's not worth the price, I won't give you a penny. Wang Xiaohu said.
Xie Dong was overjoyed, and then said with an embarrassed expression: "Actually, in fact, I'm too greedy, even if the boss doesn't pay for it, as long as we let us work for you all the time, that thing can be given to the boss for free." ”
"Hehe, you're generous!" Wang Xiaohu patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Lao Xie, the photography skills of your master and apprentice are already very passable, much more professional than those of us who were born in the Eight Roads, even if you don't mention it, I plan to sign a long-term contract with you after the finale." ”
"That's great!" Xie Dong rubbed his hands together, and he couldn't help but shout a few times to express his excitement. "Thank you boss, thank you boss, we will definitely do our best."
It wasn't until Li Qingsheng took the so-called photographic stabilization bracket to the set that Wang Xiaohu finally saw its true face of Lushan, to be honest, at that moment he was very complicated, how to say it, this thing is very simple now, but Wang Xiaohu is very clear about the important role of this thing in the future!
Yes, it was a rough version of a photographic stabilizer, and it was nothing short of the photographic stabilizers he had seen in his previous life, with only a few moving joints, a few springs near the shoulders to act as shock absorbers, and no adjustment of the gimbal and balance components and counterweight identification devices at all.
Such a thing was unexpectedly used by the national film and television equipment expert and photographer Garrett . Are Brown interested? After a short wry smile, Wang Xiaohu immediately realized that this thing was going to shock the world's photography community!
That's right, this was in the 70s, when all kinds of high-tech photographic equipment were not yet perfected, and photographic equipment capable of shooting stable, smooth and even parallel images would be welcomed by the global photography community. After Wang Xiaohu realized this, he immediately scratched his head and exclaimed luck, his grandmother's today is a big bargain! "Nice guys! Lao Xie, I have decided to buy your invention idea, and we will sign a copyright transfer contract later. ”
Xie Dongshen's master and apprentice glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, this thing is really that good? Let your boss be so ecstatic?
If they knew that this thing was favored by major Hollywood film and television companies after "Rocky" swept the box office in Europe and the United States, and they were scrambling to buy stabilizers, they would not have regarded this thing as a "broken thing".
With the photographic stabilization bracket, the captured image is really much more stable. After restarting filming, Wang Xiaohu stood in the pickup truck and kept urging Stallone with a lama.
"Sylvester, pick up your pace, swing your arms hard, yes, accelerate, accelerate, hurry!"
"Alright, slow down, good guy, don't try hard, you're out of the camera!"
In order to highlight the feeling of Rocky running fast, and not to be abrupt in the frame, Wang Xiaohu asked Stallone to try to deviate slightly in the middle of the whole shot in the direction he was running, and then let the car that was following the shot speed up a little more than Stallone, and then let the car slowly slow down, so that Stallone quickly overtook the position of the car, and when he reached the edge of the frame, he entered the next scene or clip. That's why when "Rocky" was released, it gave the audience the visual impact of Rocky's feet, and these tips simply made Xie Dongshen and Li Qingsheng admire Wang Xiaohu to the point that they couldn't do it!
Xie Dongshen whispered to his apprentice during the break: "I can't imagine that he is only 19 years old, I have been a photographer for more than 10 years, and I have worked with several directors in the United States, but none of the directors are more proficient in photography skills than the boss." ”
"Then we're with the right person this time!" Li Qingsheng said in a sip of the liquor he carried with him.
"Yes, we're with the right person." Xie Dong sighed heavily, turned around and saw that the apprentice was still drinking, frowned and raised his palm to pat down his wine bottle, and at the same time widened his eyes and said sharply: "If you don't want to make another mistake this morning, quit the wine for me, you should understand that stable and powerful hands are the life of a photographer!" If I see you drinking again, I'll break your hands! ”
"I see, Master." Li Qingsheng looked at the bottle of liquor on the ground, the liquor had already flowed at this time, he bit his lip, and then kept admonishing himself in his heart: "Li Qingsheng, for your own sake, you have to quit drinking, quit drinking!" The boss has given a chance to fight again, and this time it must not be wasted! ”
At dusk, Wang Xiaohu announced that there was no shooting task tonight, and everyone cheered, yes, they were a little tired after four days of continuous shooting, and they could finally have a Christmas Eve and Christmas without any burden.
Most of the crew members are outsiders, and it is impossible for them to return to their respective cities to spend Christmas Eve with their families, so Wang Xiaohu took them to the largest restaurant in Chinatown for dinner, before the meal, Zhao Yazhi smiled and gave everyone a big red apple, everyone felt a little flattered, yes, this young couple always cared for them and made them feel very warm.
"Thank you, wife." Wang Xiaohu hugged Zhao Yazhi tightly in his arms, he never asked Zhao Yazhi to do these things, but Zhao Yazhi could always help make up for the things he left behind.
Zhao Yazhi kissed him on the forehead on tiptoe, then wrapped her arms around his neck and said with a smile: "It's Christmas tomorrow, did you forget to prepare a Christmas gift for me?" ”
"Well, I think I forgot." Wang Xiaohu scratched his head and said, "Why don't I go out and buy it now?" ”
"Giggles, forget it, it's so late, and the stores are closed." Zhao Yazhi said and took his hand and walked to the bed and said, "I can't help you in the matter of filming, and I feel very uncomfortable when I see you tired every day." ”
"Fortunately, there won't be too many scenes left to shoot." Wang Xiaohu always felt ashamed of Zhao Yazhi: "Azhi, I'm sorry." ”
Zhao Yazhi raised her hand to cover his mouth, shook her head and said, "Ah Hu, don't say that, in fact, I still enjoy this kind of life, very fulfilling and happy." Isn't it? ”
"Hey, hey." Wang Xiaohu grinned and only smirked, marrying a wife like this, what do you want in life! After picking Zhao Yazhi up and turning around twice in place, he pressed her on the bed.
Zhao Yazhi screamed in surprise: "Ah Hu, what are you doing?" ”
"Christmas presents to you, of course!" Wang Xiaohu began to take off his clothes neatly as he spoke, looked at Zhao Yazhi with a red fluttering smile and said, "My husband is going to love you well tonight, hurry up and give me a big fat boy!" "Well, this is what this guy is talking about as a Christmas present
