The third floor of Windsor Mansion has long been given to an owner to make a restaurant. However, now the building has just been completed, and some of the infrastructure of the restaurant has not yet moved in, and it is very empty.

Now the hall on the third floor has been arranged into a mourning hall, and in the innermost corner of the hall, a long six-story altar has been erected. The altar is filled with white candles and white chrysanthemums, and a "posthumous portrait" of an old man and an urn are being placed on the top floor.

The actor of the old man is called Guan Dexing, who is famous for resisting and starring in a large number of "Huang Feihong" series of movies in his life. Now that the old man is in his seventies, he still looks not angry and arrogant, and recently made a cameo appearance in Hong Jingbao's movie "Lin Shirong" as Huang Feihong.

However, Guan Dexing did not come to attend the opening ceremony, after all, he was old, and he only made a cameo appearance in one or two evening scenes, and he just had to wait for the old man to take a time to come over at night.

However, Li Xuan still felt the corners of his eyes twitch.

The first scene after worshipping God turned out to be a mourning hall play, aren't you afraid of taboos? Also, this will be a restaurant in the future, and I am not afraid that the boss will scold the street behind his back if he finds out in the future.

"Hey! Ah Hua, are the lines right? Wang Jin shouted from behind the monitor.

Because Yuan Hua plays a Yue himself, his lines in the movie are all in Yu, although he can be dubbed later, but he still has to practice his mouth shape well. For this reason, the crew also hired a middle-aged male translator, and by the way, he also gave the translator a role to play Yuan Hua's father in the movie.

Yuan Hua, who was standing next to the translator and spoke to the lines, waved his hand and replied, "It's okay!" ”

"Alright, we're ready to shoot." Wang Jin sat down and said.

"Each group is buried and ready to shoot!" Li Xuan shouted on the side, as an assistant director, he has to take care of a lot of things, and controlling the scene is one of them.

The first few shots were all close-ups of the still scene of the mourning hall, and Li Xuan also kept watching behind the monitor. These shots are neither good nor bad, but according to Wang Jin's rules, they must have passed.

However, when the father of the dragon set played by the translator walked all the way out, Li Xuan began to feel that something was wrong.

The translator walked quickly behind Yuan Hua, and said as he walked: "Eiji, the people from the Foundation are about to arrive, you are still ......"

"Click!"

Something was really wrong, Li Xuan shouted loudly.

As soon as this sound came out, the whole crew was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Xuan. Even Wang Jin, who was next to Li Xuan, asked with a strange expression, "Xuan Zai, what's wrong?" ”

"It doesn't feel right." Li Xuan rubbed his forehead, he seemed to know that something was wrong.

"Something is wrong?" Wang Jin and a bunch of people behind him also muttered suspiciously.

Wrong? What's wrong?

At this time, Li Xuan was a little worried.

"The King of Killers" is a Hong Kong film in the 90s, and Hong Kong film skills were very mature at that time. The narrative, structure, and rhythm of the film are much better than now, especially in terms of film framing, color, use of natural light, editing, etc., with strong visual impact and stylized characteristics.

These things, not at all new now? The wave is just emerging, and the movies of the era can be compared. In particular, Wang Jin and Li Xuan do not have the habit of drawing storyboard scripts, and these shots are all shot according to the feeling of director Wang Jin. But Wang Jin's current directing concept is still at the level of the 70s, which can be seen from the "King of a Thousand Kings" he just finished.

The gap between film concepts for more than 20 years cannot be dissolved by a simple script.

Just like this shot just now, it is just a quick follow-up, with a strong old movie flavor

"Xuan Zai, what's so strange?" Wang Jin looked stunned, and Li Xuan asked.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xuan glanced at the panicked translator in the middle of the hall, and the guy thought that he had messed things up because he didn't perform well.

"Fatty, this shot was reshot just now." After Li Xuan said this, he turned around and walked towards the photographer.

"Forehead ......"

Wang Fatzi looked at Li Xuan's back with a shocked expression.

"Here, give me the camera." Li Xuan walked up to the young photographer and said.

"Huh? Oh. Brother Xuan took it. The young videographer was stunned for a moment and immediately handed over the camera.

Taking over the camera, Li Xuan couldn't help but glance at the photographer again. This photographer is really young, only about twenty years old, it is estimated that he has been in this business since he was a child, and he has some real skills, otherwise no one would look for such a young photographer.

Li Xuan ran to the right side of the mourning hall and stood still, adjusted the camera, and said with a smile and a panicked interpreter: "Don't be afraid, you acted very well just now, but I wasn't very satisfied with the lens." ”

"Uh......, yes." The relieved interpreter nodded, and his nervousness eased a lot.

After getting the translation, Li Xuan shouted to Wang Jin in the distance: "Fatty, ready to reshoot!" ”

"Okay!"

Although he didn't know what Li Xuan was doing, Wang Jin still replied loudly.

"Each group is back in position and ready to shoot!"

"The second shot of the fifth scene."

“action！”

"Smack!"

The translator walked over from the gate, and Li Xuan was still standing in place, pushing the camera into the translator.

"Eiji, the Foundation people are about to arrive."

The translator got closer and closer, and Li Xuan's camera was replaced by a slow pan.

"What are you doing here?"

The translator continued to pace away without stopping, and Li Xuan's camera gradually followed.

"Eiji!"

As the translator's hand slapped on Yuan Hua's right shoulder, the scene was over, and Li Xuan was about to press the camera switch in his hand.

But......

Why didn't Wang Fatzi shout?

Li Xuan looked up, only to find Wang Jin sitting behind the monitor staring at the screen in a daze.

"Click!" Li Xuan hurriedly overstepped his authority again, and shouted to Wang Jin with the camera: "Wang Fatzi, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Ah......" Wang Jin was called back to his senses by this shout, and asked with an incredulous face: "Damn!" Where did you learn this trick? ”

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth were crooked, and he shouted proudly: "Where else can I come from?" Do you think I've been learning from Xi Wei for so long? ”

In fact, there are only a few basic techniques of photography, which are nothing more than pushing, pulling, shaking, moving, pitching, tilting, following, and chasing, but there are not many that can really be played well.

Nowadays, the most complex thing in many movies is that the two basic camera techniques are combined, such as kung fu comedies, many shots are panned and then slammed in, from panoramic to close-up, to show the sharpness of kung fu.

And Li Xuan's shot of less than six seconds just now used three basic techniques. The lens is very good, and the connection between the three lenses is also very natural, and the visual effect is several times better than the quick follow-up shot just now, which is eye-catching.

However, the statement of learning photography from Liu Xiwei is a cover for Li Xuan. Although Liu Yiwei is very good at photography, it is mainly reflected in a stable position, and this guy is very good at using panning, and many long lenses are shot very well with panning. But as for the connection between various lens techniques, he is general.

Could it be that Li Xuan could tell Wang Jin that when he was free, he figured it out by himself while recalling the movie scenes he had seen in later generations? You must know that reversely decomposing the shooting shots according to the movie picture is the most basic and necessary skill of a director.

"Wow!" Wang Jin shouted, pointed at Li Xuan and said, "Xuan Zai, your position has changed now, and now you are the director of photography of this crew!" ”

Li Xuan opened his mouth, but did not make a sound to refuse.

A cinematographer is an extremely important position in the filmmaker, and in a general sense, his important surname is second only to the director, and slightly higher than the other artistic creation departments. In Hong Kong, in addition to the big stars, the cinematographer occupies the position of the "second" of the crew.

The director of photography has a higher status than the photographer and can directly affect the shooting of the film.

Since you can't steal Wang Jin's position, and you want to make this movie well, let's influence him in the position of director of photography.

"I'm sorry, I added a boss to you out of thin air." Li Xuan smiled and smiled at the young photographer next to him.

"No, no, Brother Xuan, you're so amazing!" The cameraman said with a look of admiration: "By the way, Brother Xuan, can I learn from you?" ”

"Learn photography?" Li Xuan asked.

"Hmm"

The videographer nodded expectantly.

"Hey, Xuan Zai, come over here, see what do you think about the long shot below!" Wang Jin shouted in the distance.

"Well, I'll come here." Li Xuan nodded at Wang Jin, turned his head and looked at the cameraman again and said, "Yes." By the way, what's your name? ”

"Thank you, Brother Xuan, my name is Huang Yuetai." (To be continued.) )
