Chapter 311 officially started filming.On the evening of August 3, Luo Mo was discussing problems with Shen Dan and Zhong Dajun, who he had slowly cultivated, at about eleven o'clock.

"Senior, most of the things are ready now. There won't be any problems with the start of filming tomorrow......" Shen Dan is now reporting to Luo Mo.

Luo Mo pinched the T-shaped area where the end of his nose and his eyebrows were connected, frowned and said, "I've been preparing for so long, and there shouldn't be any problems." However, Shen Dan, I can tell you, this time it is a big movie, and there must be more than 300 permanent crew members, and some of them are foreigners who do not understand the language, and there are some Hong Kong martial arts who do not understand Mandarin, and the coordination is definitely not as simple as before. Speaking of which, even he couldn't stop it and had a headache - such a big-budget film, it's really too much trouble to shoot.

"I know the way, but aren't there still seniors?" Shen Dan said to Luo Mo with a pat on the back and with sincerity - he felt that Luo Mo was indeed such a person, with him to shelter him from the wind and rain, and he was also very down-to-earth in doing things by himself. Many times, Shen Dan feels that impossible things will be completed in Luo Mo's hands, and the box office of the movie is also rising, and he can find answers to many details of making movies.

But when Luo Mo heard this, his face lengthened: "The burden on your shoulders is very heavy, do you know it?" I have my own affairs, and I have to leave a lot of things to you to do, otherwise I will train you to do something. ”

"Ugh!" Shen Dan was stunned, and then he could only smile helplessly, recently someone said that Luo Mo had taken gun medicine, and he also felt this way, the movie hasn't started yet, this guy's temper has been bad, and when the movie is filmed, it is estimated that he will be scolded often.

But it can't be helped...... I have already chosen to follow Luo Mo, so I can only go one way to the dark, I don't know how many people in Lu Dao still envy that they can follow Luo Mo's side to do things.

After saying Shen Dan, Luo Mo said to Zhong Dajun: "You should also pay attention when the time comes, follow those foreigners to learn more skills, we will not be able to rely on foreigners for the rest of our lives, and we have also made three movies together...... You should have learned something by now, and you're going to implement it. ”

Zhong Dajun had just heard Luo Mo training Shen Dan, so when he heard his current words, he patted his chest and promised without saying a word, and made a look of seeing death as home. This guy is also a professional student who graduated from a prestigious university, and after the focus of the two movies, he is already very immersed in shooting skills, and Luo Mo is also worth focusing on cultivating him......

Besides, this product and Luo Mo are relatives, and relatives sometimes make people feel more trusting, otherwise there would not be all kinds of relatives interfering in politics in ancient times.

Zhong Dajun bullied Luo Mo enough when he was a child, but now feng shui takes turns, and more than ten years of Shaohua pass like water, he is now in front of Luo Mo, talking about business, especially when Luo Mo is in a bad mood to talk about business, he doesn't dare to put a fart.

When Luo Mo heard that Zhong Dajun was doing this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, and felt as if he had lost the opportunity to scold...... Then he felt that he was inexplicable, why did he always eat gunpowder? How can you make a movie if you go on like this? It's okay to scold others, if the two gods Zhang Ziyi and Wang Lihong are scolded one day so that they can't get off the stage, then the matter will be a big deal.

Thinking of this, Luo Mo pinched his T-shaped zone again, feeling a little entangled in his heart...... My head hurt a little again.

Luo Mo's irritability didn't last long, at least, after the movie officially started filming the next day, this mood was also transformed into a sense of mission and excitement that he was personally carrying out a new business, a new movie, and his irritable temper slowly calmed down.

The movie started with live shooting.

Some of the urban sets of "Inception" focus on Shanghai.

Shanghai is relatively well-known abroad, and some relationships are relatively easy to coordinate, and the first filming of "Inception" was carried out in Shanghai. In fact, there weren't many places where Inception needed a full city set, and these were some of the stages where filming began.

On the first day of filming, the crew specially equipped Zhang Ziyi with a lounge and a makeup car, which cost a lot, Zhang Ziyi herself was a little embarrassed, and after discussion, she and several other actors could share this makeup car. Filming had just started on the day, and everything was going pretty well.

The first scene that started filming was in the part of the college where the protagonist was chatting with his father-in-law.

The shooting of "Inception" mainly uses a mix of anamorphic 35mm and 15-hole 65mm cameras, which are used to shoot the effect of IMAX, but there is no more mature technique in this kind of shooting in China, so in this photography part, Zhong Dajun and they serve as assistants to two foreign photographers, and it will take a while to slowly realize their own operations.

After filming for a day, Luo Mo also spent a lot of time, the first day of shooting, lack of running-in, and a few foreigners still need to communicate in English, and have to use translation, so the shooting progress can be said to be surprisingly slow, Luo Mo at night, as usual, he has to make a shooting plan by himself, and conceive tomorrow's shooting in his mind, this process is indispensable and very cumbersome.

At two o'clock in the evening, Luo Mo went to bed, and got up early the next day, and he resumed his normal routine when filming movies.

Shen Dan is now the assistant director of the film, and he is also the assistant director, his authority is greater, and the burden on his body is heavier, in fact, an assistant director, especially the assistant director who is more favored by the director, plays a very huge role, many times when shooting a movie, all the director needs is an idea, and many specific operations can be completed by the assistant director. At that time, when filming "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", this was the case, Luo Mo only had ideas, and a lot of the specific work was done by him and Xie Dong.

And now, Shen Dan needs to take on more responsibility.

During today's shooting, Shen Dan gave everyone instructions on the shooting task, and then followed the translator with Luo Mo to communicate with several cameramen. Such a translator also needs to have a certain professional foundation and a certain level of professionalism, otherwise they will not be able to seamlessly connect with the photographer in two languages...... If it can't be realized, the effect of the shooting, as well as the meaning of Luo Mo that they comprehend, will be greatly reduced.

Filming is about to begin, and Luo Mo is not only the director of the movie, but also the star of the movie...... So now he is in his place after applying makeup to the makeup artist.

At this time, Zhong Dajun came to Ye Dui's side with a light meter, gestured with his left hand, and held the light meter with his right hand where the light was shining on Luo Mo's body.

"Why are you metering?" Luo Mo asked a little suspiciously.

"Feosh said he didn't have the energy, so he asked me to come over and do this." Zhong Dajun said innocently...... This thing is very worried, and Luo Mo has been grumpy recently, and he has scolded him.

Luo Mo just nodded slightly, and then said: "It's okay, learn this technique well, if you can learn it, the merit is immeasurable!" ”

Zhong Dajun nodded.

Metering is such a thing, originally Luo Mo thought it was taking off his pants and farting, it was completely superfluous, he didn't have such a thing at all when he filmed "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" and "The Hangover", many lights were arranged by gaffers, and some that needed to be adjusted were handled with digital intermediates in the later stage. (The so-called digital intermediate film refers to a series of processing such as material editing, color adjustment, post-compositing, special effects processing, and subtitle mixing of the filmed film materials in digital form, which is often output in 2K, and is called a digital intermediate film because it is between the finished film and the projection of the film.) ）

However, Fei Ousi strongly recommended Luo Mo to carry out strict pre-metering, and then use the traditional photochemical light distribution method in the laboratory to complete the light distribution of the whole movie.

It's a very traditional practice...... Luo Mo estimates that Nolan, the director of "Inception", can not use CG without CG, and Nolan who can shoot with real filming, must have done so...... At first, he didn't know what the benefits of doing this were, but after Zhong Dajun's explanation, he did know that using the traditional photochemical light distribution method to distribute light can only take half the time of the traditional digital intermediate to process the film film, which is particularly efficient.

Luo Mo also told Zhong Dajun to learn more.

After filming this scene, Luo Mo asked the side to deal with the playback first, and he found the editor Lu Feng, and then asked: "Is there a problem with their communication with Fei Ousi?" ”

Lu Feng and the special effects director Chad Taylor who followed the filming in this crew, have been following the crew...... This is also for the convenience of editing afterwards.

"It's not a secret...... This editing was definitely going to be tougher, and instead of using digital intermediates to process the film, we would have had to do it the older way, and we could still use the Avid non-linear editing system to cut it, but at the end of the day, we had someone sitting in front of an old-fashioned Steenbeck film editing table and matching the entire set of raw negatives based on the editor's work (a combination of "timecodes" representing individual shots). It's a cumbersome process......"

Luo Mo frowned: "Then this method of not using digital intermediates still does more harm than good?" ”

Lu Feng shook his head and said: "This is not the case in the whole movie, this traditional photochemical method will have a more real and natural feeling, and the difficulties on our side will be over." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Luo Mo patted him on the shoulder: "In the future, I still have to communicate with that group of foreigners, they are quite good, and I have to cooperate with them." ”

"Well, I know." Lu Feng nodded.

Luo Mo watched the replay at this time, only to realize that his expression just now was a little stiff, not because of his acting skills, but because he wanted to use makeup to make himself look older...... Otherwise, his current physiognomy has a pair of children who are a little unconvincing, and his makeup is too thick now.

So, Luo Mo shouted over there: "He An, come here, my makeup is too thick, come and fix it." ”

"Okay." He An agreed in a sweet and greasy voice, twisted his butt and walked over, seeing this scene, Luo Mo hated to put a label on his head - "I'm not Luo Mo's makeup artist".

After He An's side finished the work, Luo Mo slapped his hands, and then said, "All departments are ready, start shooting again!" ”

Once again, the crew was running in an orderly manner, and everyone was nervously doing their job.
