Chapter 58. "Gold Medal Director" To Qifeng (one more

Not to mention that Carina Lau has the idea of being superior in her heart, and that Chen Xiaotang took out the yurt built for filming, but she saw director To Qifeng watching the replay of the previously filmed footage. Behind him, Huang Yuehua and other actors also crowded behind him to watch the picture. Driven by curiosity, Chen Xiaotang also squeezed behind. But in the camera, the two Mongolian armies were fighting, surrounded by smoke----

Director Du Qifeng held his chin and frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with such a scene and picture.

There is a saying: the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused.

Chen Xiaotang took a slight look at the captured picture and understood the key point. That is, the large-scale shooting is not majestic enough, and even some are too fake!

In fact, Hong Kong TV dramas have always been bad at filming large-scale scenes, especially scenes like this where two armies are fighting, and it is even more powerless to shoot.

The reason is very simple, Hong Kong is too small to go to other places to shoot, so we can only give up the distance and set up tents in remote places in Hong Kong to act as the Mongolian steppe.

But you set up a tent, but the yurt built is too small and too fancy, not to mention the yurt of the Song Dynasty, even the modern yurt is not as fancy as in the play. Secondly, the whole desert steppe is too quiet, not to mention horses, not even dogs can be found. Look at the Mongolian iron cavalry again, there is no more, replaced by the Mongolian infantry, more than a dozen people look at that station, it is a big battlefield, a big gang. To put it bluntly, Hong Kong directors want to purely test the audience's imagination, imagining infantry as cavalry, and more than a dozen people as thousands of troops, completely borrowing the performance form of Peking Opera and applying it to TV dramas, which makes people feel nondescript.

It is precisely because of Hong Kong's lack of large-scale filming that there is hardly any Hong Kong director in the future who can be called the title of "great historical director", they filmed "Red Cliff", "Hongmen Banquet", and what "Seeing the Dragon Flying Armor", etc., are somewhat imaginative in terms of war, and they are also a little powerless for large-scale scenes, in contrast, mainland directors such as Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou are better at shooting large-scale scenes.

But this is the case, today's major Hong Kong TV stations simply do not have the ability to go to the mainland to shoot and shoot the real prairie. Or shoot large-scale war scenes. It wasn't until 1986 that Hong Kong ATV filmed the large-scale historical drama "Qin Shi Huang", which was the first time to go to the mainland for filming, and made a huge breakthrough in the war scene. Subsequently, in 1987, Hong Kong Wireless and Hong Kong ATV respectively started filming the big-scene "Genghis Khan", which was once again filmed in the mainland, and the grand scene was a gimmick to win ratings. It can be said that before this, many big dramas in Hong Kong basically had a "small family atmosphere" on the big scenes.

However, this seemingly "childish" indoor oil painting set mode has been used by Hong Kong martial arts dramas superbly, which not only makes many viewers not feel awkward, but also has a sense of beauty, such as the middle interlude of "A round of sunset, Guo Jing bends the bow", which makes people feel very beautiful. Taiwanese martial arts seems to be inspired by Hong Kong martial arts films, and most of the martial arts dramas filmed since then are indoor sets, but they have gone too far, a drama can be filmed in one set for a long time, and the actor walks for a month, and still spins around on the same set, which is simply insulting the audience's IQ.

At this time, in front of the picture playback camera, touching his chin, looking at the shot shot, Du Qifeng said: "I don't know how, I always feel that something is wrong!" ”

Later, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but say: "Yes, there is some lack of momentum!" ”

Huang Yuehua and the others looked back at him suddenly.

To Qifeng also turned back to see who was expressing such an "opinion".

Chen Xiaotang didn't expect that his casual words would attract everyone's attention, and he coughed and said, "I'm just talking casually." ”

Someone ridiculed: "Tell me casually, you still think you are a director?" ”

Another person: "What is the lack of momentum, that means that Director Du's shooting is not good enough!" ”

Du Qifeng's brows furrowed even tighter. looked at Chen Xiaotang and asked, "Tell me, where is my lack of momentum?" ”

Huang Yuehua stood beside Chen Xiaotang and couldn't help but pull his sleeve, which meant that Du Qifeng was Wang Tianlin's tall feet, and he couldn't be offended.

Chen Xiaotang thanked Huang Yuehua for his concern, but still said: "As we all know, the grassland scenery of our "Shooting the Condor" basically adopts two forms, one is the background of the indoor oil painting, and the other is the framing in the Shanyin of Lantau Island. ”

Before he finished speaking, someone next to him muttered: "It's up to you to say this, as long as you're filming, you know what kind of master you pretend!" ”

Chen Xiaotang ignored him and continued: "These two sets have a fatal flaw, that is, they can't use wide-angle lenses to shoot from a long perspective, so that the endless momentum of the grassland is greatly reduced, giving people a very small family and very cautious, not daring to use long lenses, for fear of being careless. ”

As soon as he said this, the people around Chen Xiaotang were stunned, because these are not things that an actor can easily say, don't look at your acting skills, you don't necessarily understand these shots or something.

Even Du Qifeng showed a strange look and motioned for Chen Xiaotang to continue.

Chen Xiaotang took a deep breath and said: "In the end, due to the limitation of the number of people, when filming war scenes, because the number of people is too small, they can only be shot with close-up shots, and even medium shots are rare, giving people the feeling that it is like several people fighting in a group, not a war." In this way, the creation of an imposing atmosphere is further weakened. Generally speaking, it is not that the director does not shoot well, but because of the limited conditions, we can only shoot the best war scenes in our own opinion! ”

After Chen Xiaotang finished speaking, there was no sound around.

Everyone looked at him blankly, as if they were looking at a strange person.

Chen Xiaotang was embarrassed by everyone, and said hesitantly: "What I said...... Isn't that right?! ”

Du Qifeng was the first to come to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's not wrong, it's too right!" No wonder I can't figure it out, so that's the case! sighed, a little embarrassed in his heart, yes, as a director, of course he wanted to shoot the perfect war scene, but unfortunately it backfired, and with such conditions, he could only retreat to shooting. Otherwise, what else can be done?!

Seeing Du Qifeng sighing, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but say: "In fact, there is a solution----

"Ah, what is it?" Du Qifeng asked eagerly. But immediately he noticed that he was a little out of shape, coughed and said, "Is there any way, you can say it, let everyone listen to it, and see if there is any trouble?!" ”

Everyone else also looked over, wanting to see what ideas Chen Xiaotang had for this "newcomer"; Of course, there are also people waiting to see his jokes ---- picked, newcomers, what are you showing?!
