The thing that made Xiao Ran depressed still appeared, it was not that Wang Jiawei spent 20 million on Hongguo and then spent 30 million on Phantom to shoot "The True Story of A Fei", but the crew of "Spy 2". As the producer of "Spy 2", it is natural for him to go and take a look. But on this day, he found that the director didn't know how to deal with it in many places, maybe it was better to say that the handling technique was too soft.

Of course, it's soft, the protagonist of "Spy Change" cares about being a very tough person, and if the soft hand is natural, it will cause the film to be soft. This is not what Xiao Ran wants, so he had to helplessly point out the new director on the set. In fact, this new director is not very new, he has filmed three dramas before, all of which are small productions of more than 10 million, and he still has a set of action themes, but in literary dramas......

Most of the exterior scenes of this film are in the mainland, and we are currently filming local dramas, and then we will go to the mainland to shoot. This scene is a * Tuogu plot, the previous action scenes were indeed wonderful, but they really can't be controlled in terms of literary drama, this director and Chen Musheng have similar problems. Chen Musheng can't put literary drama and action drama together, and this director simply goes to the extreme, and even a scene that is very sensational even if it is done with ordinary techniques cannot be controlled well.

This made Xiao Ran feel the urge to vomit blood, and people pay attention to all-round talents in civil and military affairs. For directors, it's genius who can do that. But he is not sensitive to literary drama to this extent, and even the protagonist Fa Ge is deeply depressed.

Xiao Ran only looked at the director's placement of the camera position in a few scenes, and he probably knew that this guy was really not good at literary drama. This is not just not good at it, it is simply shooting literary drama as an action scene, and it is also a very intense kind, which can only be known by the director named Liang Jun who always likes to keep the camera moving.

It's over, it's over! Xiao Ran's emotion was like this, he thought that he must have to help this Liang Jun match a director who is good at literature and drama, and he had to find it before the crew rushed to the mainland. As for the scene in front of him, Xiao Ran had to do it for him.

I have to admit that Xiao Ran is indeed becoming more and more capable of directing now, and he has a way to deal with it after just thinking about it. The director of photography Huang Taile and the art director Zhang Shuping, as well as the recording director, as well as the soundtrack, Fa Ge and the middle-aged actor who played the agent were called.

After pondering for a moment, he glanced at the Liang Jun and called over, and then instructed Huang Taile: "Wait a minute, let the two machines move, one of which should be handheld." I wanted that kind of shot that was very cold and sad, and at the same time very subtle......"

Huang Taile beckoned to the side, and Liu Weiqiang ran over and asked suspiciously, "Master, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little funny, Liu Weiqiang is Huang Taile's apprentice grandson, the last time Liu Weiqiang was a director of photography for "Mong Kok Carmen", it was quite successful, and it was impossible for him to be a photographer for Huang Taile according to his identity.

But Huang Taile is his ancestor, and Liang Jun needs at least one master of portable cameras, and Liu Weiqiang's talent for portable cameras in "Carmen in Mong Kok" has been recognized, so this future famous commercial director was requisitioned.

I admire Huang Taile Xiao Ran very much, if Du Kefeng can only perform at the highest level by partnering with Wang Jiawei, then the one in front of him can have a very high performance as long as he meets a good director, and he can even indirectly indulge in the director.

Huang Taile has won as many awards at the Academy Awards as Duke Feng, and even the apprentices and apprentices he taught are all extraordinary, he can be described as a grandmaster-level character, and his interesting hobby is to make cameo appearances in the film, such as he and his apprentices made cameo appearances in "Infernal Affairs 2" The Killed Big Four.

In fact, it was supposed to get back the original cast, but unfortunately Huang Yongheng was filming another drama, so he had no choice but to find Huang Taile and them. It was not until the film was released later that Xiao Ran admired Liang Jun's control outside of the literary drama, and he was able to rely on his own control and understanding to make the film style extremely similar to the first part, and it was still too much of a firestorm, but there were some classic things missing in it.

Xiao Ran's understanding is very simple, the focus of this scene is not only on the agent, but also on caring for the character, as well as a kind of interaction and influence. So, this requires not only a close-up shot from above, but also a shot from above. Neutralize it a little more, and combine the shots of both.

Huang Taile and Liu Weiqiang quickly understood what Xiao Ran meant, and went to prepare on their own, and after the rest, Xiao Ran thought about it and said to Lin Daoyun: "This scene must have a soundtrack, not a song." You can use the Scottish bagpipes or the erhu to express this sadness, but don't ignore the psychological changes of the protagonist, and also use a little less obvious variation to express it! ”

Lin Daoyun was Xiao Ran's old team after all, and immediately understood what Xiao Ran meant. However, he wondered how Xiao Ran knew that the Scottish bagpipes were very suitable for the sad atmosphere, and he himself planned to use this instrument, so he admired Xiao Ran even more.

Xiao Ran looked at this in his eyes, and snickered in his heart, he was secretly learning from "Brave Heart". In fact, it can't be said to be stealing, just enlightening, as long as any instrument is done properly, it can successfully set off the atmosphere and even convey the theme. The most typical is "PTU", the soundtrack of the upstairs scene in the film almost perfectly expresses the love of colleagues in a seamless manner.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran secretly hated, he really didn't know when Zhong Zhirong debuted, if he could get Zhong Zhirong, it would be equivalent to getting one of the best soundtracks for Chinese movies. Zhong Zhirong is best at scoring personal works with a strong style, while Huang Zhan is good at classical and majestic, and Hu Dawei is also one of the four most famous soundtrack masters of this era.

"I'm going to prepare to isolate the natural sound, I want to take the sound of this scene without missing anything, and I have to keep this in mind during post-production, and I can't touch the sound here. However, it can be paired with other sound sources! Xiao Ran quickly gave a few instructions to the recording director, and then said to Zhang Shuping: "In terms of this set and color, can you bring a little light in the dark, I want to convey the message that the protagonist has basically completed the change of mentality!" ”

"There is light in the dark!" Zhang Shuping immediately understood what Xiao Ran meant, which was to convey the message with very graphic things such as color and light: "I think it's okay, I'll go and prepare it here!" ”

After smoothing out all the preparations, Xiao Ran instructed the middle-aged actor: "Wait a minute, you must act well, you don't need to be very sad, but you must also have a very tired feeling." Moreover, I need a little bit of the taste of missing my loved ones in it, and the expression of the eyes is very important! ”

This middle-aged actor is one of the graduates of the first batch of the artist training class, and he is also one of the famous supporting roles in Hong Kong, and his value is only inferior to Wu Zhenyu. Xiao Ran believes that he can handle it, because this scene is not very difficult to act, and the key lies in Fa Ge.

Staring at the kind-hearted Fa Ge, Xiao Ran thought about the shooting method for a while, and then said to Fa Ge: "Fa Ge, you don't need to be too indifferent to your performance for a while, you are a little excited, but you don't reveal it." The expression is basically not necessary, the focus is on the eyes, but also not too hard and deliberate. ”

"You always ask so much, I'm really afraid of you, cooperating with you, it's just looking for guilt!" Fa Ge deliberately sighed loudly, which immediately aroused the recognition of the crew members, and they all shouted: "That's right, Director Xiao, you always want to squeeze all of us clean, it's really tiring to cooperate with you!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled and glanced around, the members of this crew are basically the team of the first episode, and they are all old courtiers who are very familiar with them, so they naturally don't care about it: "Don't come to this set, now if I want to shoot randomly, I'm afraid that you won't agree, which of you is not full of energy and wants to show your face!" ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing, and it was funny to say. He has only been here for five years, and he has already changed the original shoddy atmosphere, and the staff of each position in the crew are working and creating with a serious attitude, especially the team brought up by Xiao Ran himself is the most powerful, and each of them has gradually become the most first-class characters in all walks of life.

It's like Lei Kaitai made a price with Xiao Ran in private, and he was willing to take 40 million in exchange for his team. Xiao Ran naturally refused, because these did not sign a contract with the phantom at all, but came with the rumors. Every time another company's drama comes to them, they always ask the phantom at the first time: "Does the company have a drama for us, and does Mr. Xiao have a drama!" "If not, they agreed to other companies' plays.

This is very beneficial, because this team plays with other companies, and as a result, it gradually affects the whole industry to start getting serious. As a result, there is an atmosphere that makes Xiao Ran happy now, and I really can't help but thank this old team.

However, they are all very popular now, such as the lighting artist Dou Wenbao, who is now called the king of lights by his peers in the industry. This time, Huang Taile wanted to bring his own lighting engineer, but as soon as he heard that Dou Wenbao was doing the lighting, he immediately dismissed his original idea. And if Lin Daoyun hadn't been for the fact that there were still few works, he would definitely be on par with Hu Dawei and other soundtrack masters in terms of soundtrack.

Everyone is willing to cooperate with Xiao Ran, not only because Xiao Ran can bring them fame, but also because they can learn a lot of things by cooperating with Xiao Ran, which can make people grow up quickly. Many people in the circle thought he was incredible, as if he was proficient in everything, who knew that Xiao Ran just took advantage of his rich experience.

Laughing and laughing, everyone's hand movements have not stopped at all, and they still know Xiao Ran's style very well. Liang Jun next to him saw Xiao Ran and arranged it in a few moments, and he was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground. The admiration is not in the arrangement, but in the fact that Xiao Ran can sketch out what he wants so quickly.

"All departments are ok?" Xiao Ran raised his head and glanced solemnly around the week, the recording director and Zhang Shuping all replied a few words of OK, and when he saw that he was ready, he shouted into the loudspeaker in a deep voice: "action!" ”

As the first few scenes and shots shouted out by the scene reporter began, the machine began to work. Fa Ge gently supported the middle-aged actor, the two were surrounded by corpses, and after a few words of dialogue, Fa Ge moved the person to a stone, and the two talked a few words face to face, the camera moved around the two along the track, and Liu Weiqiang held the camera to shoot more than one on the left and right of the two.

After a while, Fa Ge stood up and took a few steps forward. Xiao Ran couldn't help but admire, Fa Ge has experienced a breakthrough in "God of Gamblers", and now he can be called the strongest acting skills in Asia. Whether it is the body language or the posture of walking, it matches the scene seamlessly, and it is a full-body performance method, which can be regarded as the limit of orthodox performance.

Finally finished filming this scene, Xiao Ran couldn't help but breathe, how effective this scene is, it depends on the final editing. After shouting cut, he turned his head to look at Zhang Yaozong and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, how do you think this scene should be cut?" ”

"Make no mistake, I'm only in charge of instructing, and the real editor is him!" Zhang Yaozong smiled and pointed at the young man next to him, Xiao Ran suddenly knew that he had been tricked, wasn't that Zhang Yaozong's apprentice. Zhang Yaozong laughed and said, "However, I really admire you, you gave me a problem as soon as you came." Since it's an old partner, I'll give you this face. I think the key to this scene is ......"

"The camera of leaving......" Xiao Ran and Zhang Yaozong shouted at the same time, looking at each other, there was a sense of heroic sympathy. Zhang Yaozong really deserved to be the editor with the most tacit understanding with Xiao Ran, and soon taught the apprentice next to him: "You have to understand the director's intentions for such a scene, did you notice anything that needs attention in the part where Fa Ge left just now?" ”

The young man hesitated for a moment, then looked at the master hesitantly and said, "It seems that the angle when you leave is in a straight line!" And the lens is also straight...... I understand! ”

"Your apprentice? Amazing and promising! Xiao Ran couldn't help but nodded, this young man is good, although he only realized it under their reminder, but he is also quite talented. Only then did he say to Zhang Yaozong: "Lao Zhang, teach him more, the future is unlimited!" ”

Xiao Ran was obviously qualified to speak in such a senior tone, and the young man showed a happy expression because he was appreciated by Xiao Ran. Zhang Yaozong raised his head and sighed: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, it's not easy!" ”

"Who said that?" Xiao Ran laughed, there are so many filmmakers who have such ideas, no wonder many people's stunts have been lost: "The current salary is so high, it's enough for you to shoot one movie a year." And I think there is competition to make progress, and you have to progress, otherwise you won't be able to keep up with me in the future! ”

The young man suddenly snickered, Zhang Yaozong suddenly smiled bitterly, the age difference between him and Xiao Ran is quite large, how can this keep up with the pace. When today's scene was filmed, Xiao Ran came to Liang Jun and said: "Ah Jun, you are not good at literary drama, I will find you a partner, you have to be long-term, which one do you admire!" ”

"Me? I do not know! "Liang Jun is a little embarrassed, but this is, the phantom is very strong in literature and drama, which makes it difficult for him to choose. Xiao Ran thought about it, let's help choose one by myself.
