Chapter 21

Cheng Xiaodong's father is Shaw Brothers director Cheng Gang.

As an action director from a "martial arts family", he has become a hot martial arts film director in the Chinese film industry for directing "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and has created a new era of Hong Kong martial arts with the famous director Tsui Hark.

He won the Best Martial Arts Instructor at the Academy Awards for the movie "Hero", and the Best Martial Arts Instructor at the Golden Horse Awards for "New Dragon Gate Inn". His action design gives full play to the majestic momentum of the Northern School, pays attention to the creation of atmosphere, and often creates grandiose and spectacular action scenes, which are quite visually impressive, and are unique and unique among Hong Kong action directors.

One of the best martial arts instructors in the future Heung Kong film industry.

At this moment, Cheng Xiaodong does not have the bearing of "walking alone in the world and smiling proudly" in later generations, scratching his head when he heard the words, and said with some embarrassment: "This is difficult, Uncle Tianlin, our actions are all designed in advance, and it is okay to change some small places, if you want to achieve the effect you said, you have to tear it all down and start over, and it is not necessarily whether it will succeed." ”

In fact, he doesn't like this kind of martial arts design very much in his heart, fake, embroidered legs, and looks like he is acting. But there is no way, the whole Xiangjiang is this routine, what if you change the set and no one reads it? The investment in a drama has been wasted, who will ask you to be a martial arts instructor? Even if you really know how to "descend the dragon and eighteen palms", you can't do it.

Du Qifeng also said: "You should still use your brains in lens processing." ”

Several people discussed and discussed, and they didn't know the point.

Yang Lin interjected on the side: "Wouldn't it be better if you used 'follow-up' to shoot this shot?" ”

The so-called "follow-up" refers to the shooting method in which the camera follows the movement of the subject.

"Follow-up?" Ju Jueliang thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, the picture will be very shaky in that way." ”

Du Qifeng said: "If the effect is good, shaking is not unacceptable at all." "It is precisely because "follow-up" will cause the shaking of the picture, so except for documentaries, there is basically no use. But if this kind of shooting method, which is not common to the audience, can bring a fresh feeling, a little flaw can be tolerated.

It can be seen that Du Qifeng has a spirit of courage and innovation in his bones.

Yang Lin is helpless, this is the era when there is no "Steadicam"! In later generations, this kind of "follow-up" technique has spread to almost every movie, and it is not practical to discuss it now. It seems that the "Steadicam", a portable camera stabilizer, has been invented in the United States, right?

If there is no "Steadicam", then use the local method, the biggest advantage of our Chinese nation is "cottage"!

Yang Lin said: "Now the venue is very flat, we use a car with a better shock absorption, the photographer sits on it, and the car is pushed by manpower, so that the shaking can be reduced as much as possible." ”

Wang Tianlin's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, try first." Whose car has good shock absorption? He looked around, and when he saw that no one answered, he looked at Du Qifeng: "Hey, I know you have a car." ”

Du Qifeng smiled embarrassedly and said: "My car is not good, it is a broken car, for many years, the shock absorption is not good at all, and it will be sonorous after a pit or something." ”

Cheng Xiaodong coughed, looked at Wang Tianlin and said: "Uncle Sixth came during the start-up ceremony just now, and he hasn't left yet, you see..." But as soon as we open our mouths, we must not be fanned by Shao Tycoon's big ear scraper?

Several people looked at Wang Tianlin.

Wang Tianlin also knows that he can only do this by himself, and a few juniors don't have that face. But he also knows that Shao Yifu loves cars the most, and since he bought these two Rolls-Royces, the baby is amazing. I had to grit my teeth and say, "I'll go and say." "Get up and swing your fat body and go.

After a while, Wang Tianlin came back, followed by a Rolls-Royce driven by the driver.

The car door opened, and Shao Yifu actually came. Yang Lin, Cheng Xiaodong, Du Qifeng and Ju Jueliang hurriedly greeted the big boss.

Shao Yifu smiled and nodded, Wang Tianlin had a dark face: "Alin, this bad idea is yours, if the shooting is good, if the shooting is not good, you will be responsible for wiping the car clean, if it is scratched, you will be deducted half a year's salary." ”

Shao Yifu laughed out loud and pointed at Wang Tianlin with his finger. Without asking, it can be known that when Wang Tianlin asked Shao Yifu to borrow a car, Shao Yifu said so. In a blink of an eye, Wang Tianlin found someone who carried the black pot.

Yang Lin has a black line, pick! You're an old fat man, just as tasteless as your son. I'm also here to help you out, okay? Gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Uncle Tianlin, you can do what you say." ”

Shao Yifu laughed, actually reached out and patted Yang Lin's shoulder, and said softly: "Tian Lin is just joking with you, don't worry, as long as it contributes to the company, I will support it." Do a good job, even if you scrap this car, it's not a big deal. Don't I have that much energy? Alin, don't worry about doing it boldly! ”

Yang Lin was very moved, and although he didn't say much in a few conversations, Yang Lin could clearly feel that Shao Yifu valued him. Who is Shaw Yifu? A super tycoon in the entertainment industry of Hong Kong!

Du Qifeng and several people looked at Yang Lin with some envy, he could be valued by Shao Yifu, and he was able to wait for his success, this guy was lucky!

Shao Yifu sat in Wang Tianlin's place and watched them set up various equipment with great interest.

Wang Tianlin said: "Alin, since you came up with this idea, compared to the picture in your heart, you will be in charge." When he said this, even Du Qifeng, who has always boasted of being open-minded, couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Wang Tianlin is supporting Yang Lin and letting him cash out in front of Shao Yifu!

Yang Lin took a deep breath and nodded, "Uncle Tianlin, don't worry, I will do it with my heart." The implication is that not only the shooting of this set of shots, no matter what, it will not disappoint your kindness!

Wang Tianlin smiled and waved his hand and sat down next to Shao Yifu.

Shao Yifu squinted, looking at Yang Lin, who was rearranged by the command staff and designed Weiya to be suitable for following the camera, and said with a smile: "Tian Lin, are you really so optimistic about him?" ”

Wang Tianlin handed Shao Yifu a cigarette and said with a smile: "You don't think I'm repaying the favor, right?" ”

"Hehe, last time I was at the Peninsula Tea Restaurant, I still had such thoughts. But not anymore. Shao Yifu leaned on Wang Tianlin's lighter and lit a cigarette. To be honest, I'm pretty bullish on this kid, but I don't understand why you think so highly of him? ”

Wang Tianlin took a puff of cigarette and said leisurely: "Don't you also value him?" Why don't you say that in front of so many people? ”

Shao Yifu looked at him funny, and said, "Don't play tricks with me, as a boss, I can't let you buy people's hearts." Don't tell me you can't see what I mean. The two have worked together for many years, and they have long had a deep friendship and have nothing to shy away from.

"Don't you think he's like you?" Wang Tianlin looked at Yang Lin's figure and said slowly.

"Oh?" Shao Yifu raised the corners of his eyebrows, "Like me?" ”

"When I met you, you were like that, young, talented, and self-motivated. Do you know what I admire most about you? Talent. I can learn with diligence, and I can learn from being motivated, but I can't learn talent, it's an innate talent. So you succeeded, and I'm working for you. Wang Tianlin said with some embarrassment.

Shao Yifu said with a straight face: "I have never regarded you as my employee, my subordinate. My subordinates, one flute sound is enough. ”

Wang Tianlin smiled: "You know I didn't mean that." ”

In the eyes of outsiders, he Wang Tianlin and Xiao Sheng are Shao Yifu's right-hand men, wireless "fat and thin TV strongmen", with the same high power and reputation. But Wang Tianlin knows that in Shao Yifu's heart, he Wang Tianlin is important. has nothing to do with talent, nothing to do with ability, just because he is Wang Tianlin, he will never betray Shao Yifu! It was tested with countless difficulties, countless difficulties, and countless temptations.

The two were chatting here, and Yang Lin was ready.

He first sat in the front of the Rolls-Royce, asked people to push the car, followed behind Xia Yu, who played Qiu Chuji, found a good angle, arranged the lights, felt that the effect was good, and made a gesture to Wang Tianlin in the distance, signaling that everything was ready.

"The first episode of "Shooting the Condor", the first scene, the first set of shots, Aikesh!"

Qiu Chuji stood more than ten meters away from the gate of the palace, with his hands behind his back, looking at the vermilion gate. Then, he started running, and the Rolls-Royce followed suit. When Qiu Chuji reached the gate, he was on tiptoe, and Wia dragged him into the air.

"Click! Next set of shots. ”

Next, Yang Lin directly removed the detachable gate and threshold, and pushed the Rolls-Royce into the gate.

The mound fell from the sky and landed in the courtyard. This shot is separated, otherwise the Rolls-Royce would not have been able to enter the gate with the threshold. As long as it is edited in post-production, it is connected into a complete shot.

Qiu Chuji fell to the ground, and several royal warriors immediately surrounded him and began to fight.

"Click!"

After this shot, Yang Lin got off the hood of the Rolls-Royce, only to feel that his back was soaked with sweat. After all, this old-fashioned film camera weighs almost seventy or eighty pounds with film, and I feel very tired because of my high mental tension.

There is an editing room on the set, and Yang Lin took the film and began to edit.

Du Qifeng was surprised: "Alin, do you still edit?" ”

Shao Yifu can understand very well: "The mainland side is different from us, and the conditions are very difficult. Looking for food in the crew, you have to learn everything. Sometimes, even if you are a director, you have to run the camera yourself, and even have to do the work of cinematographers and field affairs. ”

Yang Lin didn't speak, and quickly finished editing and began to screen.

Draw the curtains on the windows and the light from the projector shines on a small screen hanging on the wall.

Qiu Chuji carried his hands on his back, his back was straight, and he read proudly. Suddenly, he began to run. As he walked, the snow on the ground splashed, and then, on tiptoe, he rose into the air and over the high wall. Then the big bird fell and rushed into the crowd in the hospital. The sword light flickered, as bright as a match.

There was a snowflake on the screen, and the shot was over in a blink of an eye.

Shock!

Except for Yang Lin, everyone present only had this one word in their minds.

The strong sense of movement in that kind of movement caused an unprecedented shock in their hearts through vision!

Wang Tianlin praised: "Good! With just this one shot, this drama can be improved by two points at the beginning of its release! ”

Yang Lin turned his mind and said, "Actually, if we release the plot filmed with the sixth uncle's Rolls-Royce, we can add a few more points." ”

Think about it, in order to shoot a good shot, he actually used the Rolls-Royce of wireless tycoon Shao Yifu, so striving for perfection and sparing no expense, what kind of TV series is this?

Shao Yifu said happily: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away, and I'll see this in the newspaper." "This Yang Lin's head is really not an ordinary good man, he can use anything to the extreme.

Du Qifeng's eyes when he looked at Yang Lin could no longer be described as "worship", it was simply "affectionate", this is a genius!

It is conceivable that when this drama is released, the shock brought by this shot will be even stronger, and countless directors will compete to imitate it. This one shot can bring a revolution to shooting! A new approach to filming has been born.
