Chapter 183: A good start

…

After the spring breeze for a while, the fox chong was overjoyed and compassionate

Bury the corpse on a rainy night and then conspire with any of me

…

After watching the character biography homework handed over by Yi Yi in advance, Yan Qing decided to use such a night battle with low set difficulty to start the crew's first shot after the start-up banquet.

Of course, this is only the first night scene, in fact, the first scene of the crew of "Laughing East" has already started the corresponding filming work in Jinmen as early as Tuesday daytime.

Generally speaking, it is not uncommon for the production unit to implement group shooting in order to catch up with the schedule, but the crew of "Laughing East" naturally took this measure because of the short shooting period and the large number of shots, and Yan Qing, who did not have too strong desire to control the film, entrusted some less important empty shots and exterior group scenes to the two senior assistant directors appointed by Whispering Pictures and Shanghai Film Studio to shoot independently.

In the opening part, the scene of the Sun Moon Divine Cult, the Ming Dynasty, and the Fusang Ronin snatching Western arms from the three parties, because it involved some empty shots of turbulent waves, ancient forts and Dutch gunboats being shot and sinking, Yan Qing, who was not bad for money, did not plan to be as shoddy as the original film, and only used miniatures to complete the shooting, he arranged for Zhao Zhongyi, an experienced assistant director of Whisper Pictures, to take the B group film team to a set of antique naval battles in Jinmen for live shooting.

Filming at the same time as the night battle directed by Yan Qing was actually part of the campfire night scene of the Ronin Camp, which was assigned to Group C and directed by Zhou Siwen, the assistant director of Shanghai Film Studio, who is proficient in Fusang, and HMG even supported several translators to assist him in the scheduling of the group performance.

…

Desert terrain and xerophytic reed set

…

Most of the sets are arranged in a state of loose inside and tight outside, and the night battle of "Laughing East" is also the same.

The central part of the painting is particularly empty for the convenience of framing the cameras: a few withered reed poles, low shrubs scattered on the ochre-yellow soil, jet-black blood stains scattered all over the ground, and broken sword blades.

In addition to the nanny car that acts as the actor's mobile dressing room, the curved arm car carrying the WIA boom, the winch motor, the recording extension rod, the mechanical control platform, the track and rocker camera, the magic leg, the scaffolding and other professional facilities on the set, it is also equipped with professional rain trucks, high-power blowers, high-frequency flashing tungsten light arrays and other night scene all-weather on-set support facilities.

Dressed in a black robe with a white sticker, a navy green Confucian robe, and a white scarf wrapped around his head, Yi Yi got down from the car after putting on makeup.

In all fairness, Yi Yi's men's image of a disciple of Huashan is quite good, with red lips and white teeth, the good demeanor of a young Confucian man in the wind of Yushu, and the meow and elegant words on the periphery can be corroborated, and even Professor Weng's brain-dead fan Zhou Peipei is called an expert.

"The actors are ready for the stage, and each camera will have another rehearsal move..."

It's a pity that Yan Qing was a little puzzled, and didn't give Yi Yi, who was co-ordinator, actor Zhang, producer Zhou and others, more opportunities to interact, and after entering the role of director, he was obviously a little serious, and he directly called the executive director Mo Ran and began to give orders to dispatch the camera to continue the rehearsal and move.

"The classic is handsome for only three seconds!"

Grunted softly, Yi Yi was still very dedicated, with the assistance of the stylist and makeup assistant, she cooperated very well to make the ironing dress dirty and loose, then walked to the painting position and sat down and took out Yue Lingshan's state and began to prepare for the scene.

After the other actor who acted as a prop was in place, Yan Qing stared at the monitor, and he continued to schedule the camera to do the pre-rehearsal run-in before the start of filming:

"Tamson Son, the flutter amplitude control of the third lens of your hand-held camera is smoother!"

"Mo Ran, the counterplay of the fourth shot of the track position must be stuck in rhythm, and I look at it a little slower by half a beat here."

"Director Ke, the axis of motion of the second lens on your side is still a little faster, and it must be consistent with Yi Yi's line of sight!"

…

…

These groups of shots are all one-man dramas where Yi Yi sits on the ground, there is no problem of the actors moving, Yan Qing only needs to schedule the camera position, shoot in strict accordance with the storyboard script, and then make some fine-tuning according to the real-time picture in the monitor.

After a period of running-in and adjustment that was not too short, the coordinator Miao Miao gave feedback that he was ready to be in place, Yan Qing raised the director's microphone again, and he signaled to the executive director Mo Ran to give an order.

After the lighting team checked and debugged the equipment again, the lighting director Liao Jingxi raised the walkie-talkie and responded: "Gaffer stand by!" ”

Executive director Mo Ran used the walkie-talkie to inform the team of recording engineers holding the radio extension rod alof: "Roll sound!"

Pressing the recording controller of the device, Chuxiong, the recording director, announced in a deep voice: "Sound Speeding!"

Mo Ran motioned to Lou Junwei: "Call slate!" ”

Because of the same relationship between the subjects, the newspaper board was handled by Lou Junwei once: "A/B/C machine "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" Volume 3, Scene 6, Article 1! ”

β€œCamera A/B/C rolling!”

After the executive director Mo Ran gave feedback, the track camera he was in charge of, Demo Centom's portable camera, and the director of photography Kotnis personally took charge of the fixed camera and the footage was recorded at the same time.

"Marker!~Click!"

The clapperboard in Lou Junwei's hand hit the board crisply.

With his eyes locked on the camera monitor, Yan Qing, who was dressed in a white sticker dress, turned on the director's microphone, and he spoke calmly: "Action!" ”

β€”β€”

The team of gaffers outside the painting uses a high-frequency flash tungsten light array to simulate the light and shadow effect of light and darkness when lightning is lightning.

Blower working, front Tamson hand-held camera, slightly shaky flat close-up:

β€”β€”

"Sing... Let's sing together..."

Covered in filth, with muddy fingers and a cloak of hair, Yi Yi was holding the corpse of a Huashan disciple who was still intact, and her shoulders twitched violently, as if she was so sad that she couldn't help herself.

β€”β€”

The blower continues to work outside the picture, and Mo Ran holds the orbital position of the machine, and close-up is shot upward:

β€”β€”

Yi Yi's sad face was full of tears, her dried eyes looked particularly sluggish in the camera, and her chapped and dehydrated lips moved with difficulty: "Canghai laughed!" ”

β€”β€”

Kotnis asked about the front fixed camera position of the handheld, the front shot, the lens is between close-up and close-up:

β€”β€”

Yi Yi in the framed seemed to hear something, she raised her eyes to look at the camera vigilantly and vigilantly, and her eyes suddenly changed from despair to endless grievances and grief.

She struggled to get up and open her mouth, as if a thousand words came up, and in the last few gentle convulsions, Yi Yi choked up and shed tears.

β€”β€”

β€œCut!”

After a pause on the set, the attention of the audience brushed to the only director position, but Yan Qing maintained a consistent standing posture, his eyes turned to Yi Yi, his eyes were clear and transparent: "Yi Yi did a good job, but I still want to try again." ”

Mo Ran held up the walkie-talkie and beckoned all departments to prepare for reset.

"Alas, Yi Yi, you acted badly..."

Yi Yi, who was extremely experienced on the set, sighed helplessly, and she shook her head and translated Yan Qing's subtext: "Reshoot another one for your master!" ”

"Actually, Yi Yi's performance is much more layered than the flower of Sister Hong Kong in the original film..."

was amused by Yi Yi's cute complaints with the whole crew, Yan Qing secretly thought in his heart: "But I want to shoot a more infectious effect."

After a reset, after Lou Junwei made some changes to the slapsticker, the voice of the newspaper board in his mouth became: "The second article of the sixth scene of the third volume of "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated"! ”

When re-filming the second one, Yan Qing also had to praise Yi Yi's understanding and adjustment ability, and she soon realized that her state was a little too outgoing, and consciously tightened it up a bit, making the performance more restrained.

β€œCut!”

However, Yan Qing stopped again, he is not a director like the king of sunglasses who likes to let the actors understand themselves, he will only describe the scenes he wants to be covered with clouds and mountains and fog, and then keep shouting, let the actors grind over and over again.

"I'm sorry, Guo Zitao, let's take a rest first."

The actor who played the corpse of Huashan's disciple in the set smiled apologetically, Yan Qing beckoned to Yi Yi and said, "Yi Yi, let's talk..."

"Brother Qing, you say, I can withstand it..."Getting up in frustration, Yi Yi bit his lip and slowly leaned over towards Yan Qing with his backhand.

"Don't be afraid... Am I that fierce? Yi Yi's cozy attitude made Yan Qing a little crying and laughing.

"Before we filmed "Brave", you were more fierce than the director!" Yi Yi gritted his teeth and buried Yan Qing.

"I've changed it now..."

With an embarrassed smile, Yan Qing handed the monitor in his hand to Yi Yi: "Many people in the crew know, come on, let's take a look at this first, it's not easy for us to get off to a good start." ”

The footage in the monitor has been roughly cut out by the on-site editor under the guidance of Yan Qing, and the footage shot in the three time periods of the hand-held camera, the orbital camera, and the fixed-camera camera is spliced together.

"Great... I envy Sister Jing, how can I have this permission in other crews, haha, the treatment of drama bully is awesome. ”

changed his face very quickly, Yi Yi quickly opened his eyebrows and smiled, took the monitor and looked at it carefully.

"When we talked about the drama before, you did a good job of giving Yue Lingshan this paragraph in your character notebook."

Yan Qing waited for Yi Yi to carefully watch the playback several times before she softly retold the character notes she wrote by herself: "Holding the corpses of her senior brothers, Yue Lingshan only felt that the world was spinning, she was helpless, desperate, and couldn't believe it, after seeing Ling Hu Chong, her whole body was like grabbing a life-saving straw, there were grievances and complaints, and more hope for revenge..."

"I only understood my problems after watching the replay, my emotions were too superficial, my despair and grief were too loose, and I was too relieved to complain and hope..."

A little bit of understanding, and the attitude is very good, Yi Yi pursed her lips and lowered her head, she admitted ashamedly: "Some emotions I thought I expressed them, but in fact they didn't." ”

"Let's look at it again and look for new problems..."

Yan Qing smiled, and he manipulated the monitor to replay the rough cut footage that was only fifteen seconds long.

"Brother Qing, I didn't see it..."Yi Yi looked at Yan Qing puzzled after reading it carefully.

Yan Qing patiently relieved her doubts: "Before you saw Linghu Chong, you heard the sound of horses' hooves that didn't exist, showing a sense of vigilance and vigilance... It's a little abrupt! ”

"Ahh Is this also problematic? The girl approached the devil and the director continued to give him his bewildered gaze.

"I praised the merits of your little biography, and I also found some fault for you..."

Leaning back slightly, re-closing the distance, Yan Qing tried his best to be as euphemistic as possible: "She carried the blue phoenix on her back and experienced an exhausting escape in the first half of the night, and finally fell asleep after being sealed in the reeds, and when she woke up, she suddenly found that her senior brothers had died unexpectedly, what kind of state should Yue Lingshan be?" ”

"I'm tired, so her vigilance and vigilance will involuntarily decline..."Yi Yi suddenly realized, she quickly took out the character biography in her arms and looked at it carefully, looking like she was eager to take out a pen and revise it immediately.

"Acting can be a role, but don't be confined to the framework of experientialism..."

Yi Yi wrung her hands, she frowned at Yan Qing and said with a sad face: "Brother Qing, you have pointed out this problem to me a long time ago, and I have also learned some methodological routines, and I always feel that I can't understand them." ”

"Take your time, Yi Yi, you can try to show your tiredness later..."

While talking about the play, Yan Qing demonstrated to Yi Yi the combination of several micro-expressions and eyes: "There are many ways to enrich the layering of performances, and it is an affordable way to use more eyes to match various subtle expressions..."

After Yan Qing and Yi Yi finished communicating, the effect of the third article of the restart was obviously improved.

In the close-up shot, Yi Yi's twitching rhythm becomes noticeably irregular and emotional, and her sad expression in the close-up also adds a bit of tiredness.

When Yi Yi tried to perform and heard the sound of horses' hooves, there was obviously a delay and separation between the change of her eyes and the reaction of raising her head, and after confirming Ling Hu Chong's arrival, the expression of finding sustenance and hope was much more delicate and real.

"You can teach!"

couldn't help but smile with relief, hiding his merit and fame, Yan Qing announced in a plain and low-key manner that the crew's start had been achieved: "Very good, it's over!" ”

Xing Chong rushed forward to watch the replay, Yi Yi nodded with satisfaction, and urged in a coquettish voice: "Brother Qing, hurry... I can finally watch you film, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

"There's no hurry..."

Looking at the clouds in the night sky, fanning the shooting plan in his hand, Yan Qing greeted Mo Ran with a smile and said, "Now that the cloud thickness is almost the same, let's finish shooting the next empty shot first!" ”

β€”β€”

Crane camera, upward shooting panoramic aerial shot:

β€”β€”

The night sky was grey and cloudy.

β€”β€”

Swingarm camera, camera back, overhead shot to the ground:

β€”β€”

The xerophytic reeds were rested by the prop master to create a clearing, and the lightning and thunder illuminated the ground as bright as day, and also reflected the scattered and scattered limbs of the body, and the props were made lifelike, and it could be seen that the corpse was dressed as a Huashan disciple, and even the soil was carefully dyed purple and black by the drama staff with paint.

β€”β€”

After shooting the empty shot, Yan Qing stood in front of the three-camera camera surrounding, and in the dark night that kept creating lightning light effects, he turned over and got on the horse, and the elegant temperament on his body suddenly disappeared, and a swordsman who was in a hurry, his expression mixed with a little guilt, and he seemed to be a swordsman who suppressed a strong uneasiness in his heart.

The five extremely short shots are all passed in one go.

β€”β€”

Lens 1: Rocker camera, panoramic overhead shooting:

β€”β€”

Dressed in white, the disheveled swordsman held his long sword upside down, and he rode quickly over the mountains and forests.

β€”β€”

Lens 2: Orbital camera, medium shot flat shot:

β€”β€”

The swordsman who was looking around exerted his strength on his feet, and his left hand lifted the reins, urging his horse to speed up, and he kept looking for something in the reeds.

β€”β€”

Lens 3: Swingarm camera, close-up to close-up:

β€”β€”

Yan Qing on horseback had a faint guilt between his eyebrows between his undulating postures, his eyes were sharp but uneasy, and he was a little anxious between his expectations.

Suddenly, his eyes froze, the shame in his expression surged out, and a feeling of disbelief flashed, his face turned pale, and a trace of light appeared in his eyes.

The camera finally zoomed in, and Yan Qing's deep eyes occupied the central axis of the entire frame, and the pupils instantly burst with intense anger and hatred.

β€”β€”

Lens 4, hand-held camera, slightly shaking, panoramic upward shooting:

β€”β€”

With the help of Wia, a harrier turned over and hurriedly fell off his horse, and before he could stand firmly, he was already running towards the camera quickly.

β€”β€”

Shot 5, track position, close-up upward shot:

β€”β€”

In the midst of lightning and thunder, and the wind howling, Yan Qing hurriedly stood still, his eyes wide with anger, and his bloodshot eyes roared angrily: "Senior brother! ”

β€”β€”

Slowly pull the camera back to close-up and mid-view shots:

At the same time, several rain-making machines began to operate at the same time

β€”β€”

A downpour fell from the sky, drenching Yan Qing in the frame.
