513 One shot to the end

On March 17, 1998, "Wolf Warrior II" officially started filming.

The first scene filmed by Chen Beiming was the most talked about fight in the sea at the beginning of "Wolf Warrior".

This scene was filmed in the beautiful sea.

The reason why they chose to shoot here is, firstly, the requirements of the Namei federal government, Nami hopes to show the beautiful scenery of Nami to the world through this film, and boost their tourism career, secondly, it is not far from the main filming location, and Nami's labor costs are relatively low and the cost is small.

It is not easy to shoot this scene well.

It is said that it took Wu Jing more than half a month to shoot a six-minute underwater shot, the photographer and actors spent more than 10 hours in the water every day, Wu Jing was even more tired and collapsed, in order to save time, everyone even ate in the water, which shows how difficult it is to shoot this scene.

On this morning, when the sun had just risen, Chen Beiming came to the sea boat rented by the crew.

"Hill." Shangguan Yingying greeted her.

Chen Beiming glanced at Shangguan Yingying and found that she had dark circles under her eyes, and hurriedly asked with concern, "What's the matter, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

"Tangtang called last night, and we talked for a long time, but I didn't fall asleep much after that." Shangguan Yingying smiled: "But it's okay, don't worry." ”

"Then go to bed early tonight." Chen Bei Ming Dao.

"Hmm." Shangguan Yingying nodded.

"Oh, by the way, they must have at least two speedboats ready today." Chen Beiming advised.

Speedboat? What to do with the speedboat?

Shangguan Yingying was puzzled.

"Don't ask about the specifics, anyway, you may use it today, of course, it's best not to use it." Chen Beiming replied.

"Oh." Shangguan Yingying responded, although she still didn't understand what it meant, there were small boats on the freighter, and there were several, and there was still a need to prepare a speedboat?

But since this is Chen Beiming's request, she just does it.

When everything was ready, she led Chen Beiming into the conference room on the cargo ship - it was said to be a conference room, but it was actually a relatively large space on the ship, with a table on it.

During this time, the cargo ship began to sail into the depths of the sea.

The other staff had already arrived, and when they saw Chen Beiming coming, they hurriedly stood up and greeted them one by one.

"Mr. Koyama!"

"Hello, Mr. Koyama!"

Of course, there are also greetings in English: "Hi Chen, long time no see!" ”

This time, the photography team is very strong, not only the photographers of Xia Guo, but also the top photography team of the United States and the West.

In order to shoot the best results, Chen Beiming really made a lot of money, at all costs, the photographer is the world's top photographer, and the camera is also the most advanced camera in the world.

After everyone sat down, Chen Beiming picked up a whiteboard and explained while writing and drawing on the whiteboard: "This scene is like this, a freighter is sailing on the sea, and then, a group of pirates rushed towards the freighter in several speedboats. ”

Chen Beiming first told you the general plot, and then began to talk about the placement of the camera, the angle of shooting, and the shooting technique.

The things he talked about are all summaries of Wu Jing's experience and the experience gift package of the system, so they are quite professional and accurate, and the photographers all nodded after listening to it, and they didn't have any opinions.

However, when it comes to underwater shots, a photographer from the West has a different opinion.

"My idea is that we need to shoot underwater fights with one shot to the end, and I ......"

As soon as he said this, the top photographer from Meixi stood up with a swish: "What? Old! You're going to have to take a shot in the water! ”

He looked at Chen Beiming as if he had seen a ghost during the day, his eyes widened.

Ninety-nine percent of movies are edited through footage, so why edit? The reason is simple, we can cut out the bad shots, keep the good ones, and then control the rhythm, story, and mood of the movie through the permutations and combinations of these shots!

But there are also some movies that only have one shot, in other words, the movie is not edited from the beginning to the end, and it is all shot in one go, which is the most extreme shot to the end.

Since this kind of one-shot shot cannot be edited to present a perfect image sequence, every scene, object, person's position, camera movement, light source, etc., must be matched in advance, and it must be seamless and free of defects.

In a word, where the usual shots are good and left, all the bad ones are cut, but in the end, the good and bad ones must be kept, so the director must plan the settings in advance and not have any flaws.

Because one shot can give people a better substitution, many directors like to use it.

But to tell the truth, because the requirements for the director and the cinematographer are too high, there are very few that can really be used well.

But the previous shots were all on land, in the water......

Sorry, so far, no director or cinematographer has ever tried to play a shot in the water.

So when the photographer from Meixi heard that Chen Beiming was going to play in the water to the end, he suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Chen, this won't work! One shot is not suitable for underwater shooting at all! The photographer said excitedly.

"No, yes." Chen Beiming replied firmly.

Wu Jing has proven that it is possible to take a shot underwater, but it is a little difficult.

The photographer raised his hands, as if he wanted to go crazy, but in the end he managed to control his emotions, and he first let out a deep breath: "Chen, you may not know that no director has ever tried an underwater shot so far!" ”

"It's because we don't have that that we do it. I have long said that our "Wolf Warrior" is going to create many epoch-making firsts. Chen Beiming replied.

The photographer's emotions that had just calmed down exploded again: "Chen, you can't be so stubborn!" You see, we can't do what you're asking for! ”

Chen Beiming didn't add fuel to the fire, he smiled: "Okay, Mr. Bell, you dissipate your anger first, come, drink saliva first." ”

He poured himself a glass of water and handed it to the photographer.

The photographer poured the glass of water into his mouth with a bit of a frustration, and slammed the glass on the table.

Chen Beiming patted the photographer on the shoulder: "Bell, do you remember how old you were when you debuted?" ”

"Nineteen." Bell replied without thinking.

"Yes, you made your debut at the age of nineteen, and no one was optimistic about you at that time, and all the directors didn't hire you, because they all said, God, a nineteen-year-old guy, you don't even know what the camera looks like, and you still want to be a photographer? But in the end, you managed to win the favor of the world's number one director at the time, Olos, and became his royal photographer. In the end, he patted Bell on the shoulder: "Mr. Bell, your life is a life of creating miracles, then, at this moment, why can't you create another miracle at the age of fifty, no one has done an underwater shot so far, because others can't do it, others can't do it, you Bell must not be able to do it?" Believe it or not, anyway, I don't believe it! ”

Bell looked at Chen Beiming in a daze.

Chen Beiming smiled and patted Bell: "Do you remember what I said to the president of Universal Entertainment at that time, I said, find me a photographer who can create miracles, and then, he recommended you to me, so, I believe you can." ”

Bell was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, Chen, then I'll try." ”
