Chapter Seventy-One: Nearing Completion
“cut!”
Everyone knows that when the director shouted this, he was already full of anger.
In fact, Lu Yan is already on fire, in his opinion, such a simple scene, Leslie Cheung actually 'ng' nine times. If you ng again next time, it will be a double digit.
"Rong Shao, you are very out of shape today."
Lu Yan endured the anger of the rampant, and said calmly in a controlled voice. In the first few paragraphs about the filming of Leslie Cheung's scenes, although his acting skills are still relatively immature, he is at least devoted. But today's performance is definitely a big disappointment.
Looking at Leslie Cheung's somewhat lost expression, Lu Yan couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Rong Shao, what I need is anger, anger." Unleash that emotion and show it! In your expression, show pain...... You brew well, I don't want to NG again! ”
After finishing speaking, Lu Yan walked aside with some annoyance and looked through the opening notes.
In this scene, Song Zijie is thinking and fighting in the foggy bathroom, and he smashes the mirror with a hateful punch in an impulse. Although it is only an indoor shooting, Lu Yan is very interested in this scene. It's just that Leslie Cheung always can't show the feeling he wants, and he still does it after saying it a few times. It is inevitable that Lu Yan will lose his temper now.
Today, Chow Yun-fat and Dillon both went to Cheng Xiaodong's side to shoot the shootout part, so Leslie Cheung seems to be a little confused without the guidance of the two big brothers.
"Director, no problem!"
Just when Lu Yan was about to step forward to ask Leslie Cheung how he was preparing, the other party had already walked in front of him. The loss on his face has now been replaced by perseverance. Leslie Cheung is a person who strives for perfection, even if he fails again and again, he tries to find a reason to get back on his feet.
"Is that really okay?" Lu Yan stared at Leslie Cheung's eyes and confirmed once.
"Yes!"
"Okay, then all departments are ready! Let's do it again......"
"Bang!"
The glass in front of Leslie Cheung's eyes cracked, and then shattered. Christopher Doyle captures Leslie Cheung's expression very accurately, while the other camera fixes the lens on the mirror and slowly zooms in the distance.
“cut!”
After Lu Yan finished shouting, he immediately walked towards Leslie Cheung and said, "Rong Shao, are you okay!?" ”
"Director, was it okay just now?"
Looking at Leslie Cheung's confirmed eyes, Lu Yan nodded vigorously and said, "Your punch just now made the situation extremely real!" It's perfect, but for now you better bandage your hands. ”
Several times of ng, Leslie Cheung's every punch is solid on the glass. The punch just now accidentally cut his hand and bled continuously.
Du Kefeng on the side also gave Leslie Cheung a thumbs up, indicating that the shot just now was quite perfect.
After receiving confirmation, Leslie Cheung's originally somewhat tense face showed a smile.
At this time, Leslie Cheung's acting skills are indeed a little immature. In Lu Yan's opinion, compared with Chow Yun-fat and Dillon's calmness, there are traces of excessive force in many places. But he is so serious, and the character itself should be so serious. makes this young and vigorous little police officer cute and angry, respectable and pitiful, which makes people sigh and can't bear to be harsh.
"Brother Dong, I'll leave the filming of the latter part here to you. I've got to get to Brother Tung and they......"
After the shooting of the sets of lenses that Lu Yan was most concerned about, Lu Yan hurried to the shooting site of the second group. Because the second group is going to shoot next, it is the scene of Xiao Ma played by Chow Yun-fat entering Fenglin Pavilion to avenge Song Zihao.
"Director, let's continue this scene in slow motion!" Seeing Lu Yan arrive, Cheng Xiaodong stepped forward to communicate.
Lu Yan saw the people who had already put on makeup, nodded and said, "Continue to use stunt photography!" In terms of layout, little black brother. It's Taiwanese after all, it's very good. ”
The shooting of action movie scenes is different from the general plot, which is reflected in the camera technique, which often uses some special cinematography. Therefore, it is essential for an action director to understand and master these basic techniques. For stunt photography, Cheng Xiaodong is, of course, a piece of cake.
"It's still an upscaled shot, but how many grids are good?" Cheng Xiaodong is still filming in terms of fighting after so many shootouts, and he is somewhat clear about Lu Yan's requirements.
Lu Yan stood there and thought about it, then said: "With the use of matching, Brother Xiao Ma must be in slow motion when he enters the corridor." But once the door is opened, the shooting resumes at its usual speed. The main thing is to be able to bring impact, and the shock effect is good. Try 96 frames, and try to be as delicate as possible! ”
The so-called upscaling shooting, also known as "slow motion" and "slow motion", is to adjust the normal 1 second 24 frames of the motion picture film to 1 second greater than 24 frames, and then play it at a normal speed, you will get a slower than usual action. In the design of action movies, this stunt is commonly used to show the grace and stretch of the fighter's movements, as well as the details of the offensive and defensive techniques, and is known as a "close-up of time", which is the hallmark of the so-called violent aesthetics.
"Ninety-six, let's do our best!"
Grasping the ninety-six frames for shooting is indeed not easy for the current Cheng Xiaodong. However, Lu Yan naturally wants to go into battle in person, how can a play that he cares about so much lack himself as a director.
Of course, it is impossible to shoot a movie in one go as it seems, but the shots are shot in groups. Even if it's a simple corridor, it needs to be done in sections.
"Qiangzai, hurry up and set a seat!" Lu Yan motioned to Liu Weiqiang and others, he hoped to end the shooting quickly.
In fact, Chow Yun-fat has found his own feeling after this period of filming. He was no longer held as fixed and deliberately as he used to, so the shooting was very successful and smooth.
Whether it was the indifferent smile on his face at the beginning, or the perseverance on his face after holding the gun.
"Brother Fa, you are really amazing!"
No matter which shot it is, there is no ng at once. This is not only Lu Yan's appreciation, but everyone else also looked at Chow Yun-fat with a smile.
In fact, there is another big point in shooting gunfight movies, that is, I am afraid of problems such as misfire. I don't know if it was because Lu Yan arranged for everyone to shoot firearms at the beginning, or if the on-site instructors were in place. "The True Color of Heroes" has been safe and sound since the beginning of the shooting of the shot with a gun.
"At this rate, our first film is about to be finished!" Liu Weiqiang handed the camera to the assistant on the side, took the clapperboard and looked at it, and happily handed it to Lu Yan.
"Yes! Everyone will work hard for a while, and when the time comes, I will invite everyone to have a good meal. ”
The first film of Dongcheng Imaging is about to be completed, and if nothing goes wrong, it will end soon. How could Lu Yan not be happy in his heart! He had even decided to create a finale party, which he has been using ever since.
