Chapter 31: "Men who work hard are the most handsome", Xiaoting admires Tao Ye a little. (1)
Xiaoting handed over the task of faking the scene to Du Ran, and hurried back to the training class, she ran into the teaching building, the first class in the afternoon was a vocal class, which had already begun, the teaching building was very quiet, and the sound of piano music came from the classroom.
In the classroom, the vocal teacher is playing the piano, and Wang Yanni is standing by the piano, singing an aria from an Italian opera. Wang Yanni's vocal music is professional-level, and her singing voice is high-pitched and graceful.
The classroom door was gently pushed open, and Xiaoting crept in, standing at the door awkwardly, bowing to the teacher apologetically. The teacher and Wang Yanni were immersed in the song, completely unaffected by Xiao Ting, Xiao Ting stuck out her tongue and quickly slipped back to her seat.
Xiao Ting sat down in her seat and stabilized her mood, she looked towards the window of the back door of the classroom, and saw that her father's face just appeared on the window, Xiao Ting quickly turned her head and let out a sigh of relief.
Wang Yanni's singing was coming to an end, she soared a long high note, and then suddenly fell and closed the note neatly, and the teacher's piano accompaniment also dropped the last note almost at the same time. The classroom continued to be silent for a few seconds, then erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
Wang Yanni seemed to be standing on the stage of the limelight, her face was like a silver basin with a slightly contrived stage style smile, and the accompanying teacher also seemed to have completed a masterpiece, satisfied.
Wang Yanni walked back to her seat, sat next to Xiao Ting, and asked silently with her eyes and mouth, "Why did you go", Xiao Ting grinned and made a look of suffering.
The classroom was quiet again, and the teacher casually pressed the piano keys a few times, turned his head to Xiaoting and said, "Sun Tingting, it's your turn." ”
Xiaoting got up, walked to the piano and stood up, she was a little lacking in confidence, she looked at the window at the back door of the classroom, her father was no longer there.
The teacher skillfully played the prelude to the song, which was Faye Wong's popular "Legend", and then, the song flew out of Xiao Ting's mouth.
"It's just because I took a look at you in the crowd that I never forgot your face...
Xiaoting's voice is ethereal, and there is a bit of Faye Wong's flavor, she sang seriously, and gradually integrated into the mood of the song.
。。。
The water pump was completely broken, and there was no way to draw water from the river for artificial rainfall, so the crew had to temporarily transfer the scene to shoot the scene of the long-distance bus traveling on the mountain road. Tao Ye led the team to the mountain road he had already inspected before.
Located here on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, if you look down from the perspective of God in mid-air, the towering mountain is like an incomparably huge rock, and the winding road is embedded in the middle of the mountainside, like a stone crack carved out of the boulder, and the car is like a worm slowly wriggling in the stone crevice.
When you are in the middle of it, you will find that the road is very narrow, with a steep mountain on one side and a canyon on the other, and there are only single lanes in both directions, and there is no emergency parking strip. The highways are not as busy as city streets, but they are very busy, and there are often huge trucks carrying earth and rock.
Wen Hao and Tao Ye took a few people from the camera crew, the on-site producer Qiangzi, and the coordinator Zhou Jing arrived first, and they stood in a slightly spacious place on the side of the road, waiting for the large army to transfer over.
From the start of filming early in the morning to the present, more than half a day has passed, and a few shots of a scene have only been filmed, and the filming progress has seriously lagged behind. The large army has not been transferred for a long time, and the prop truck used for filming contacted by the external producer has not been traced.
Wen Hao asked Qiangzi anxiously: "When will the long-distance bus arrive?" ”
Qiangzi replied happily: "It's coming soon, I asked just now, and I'm already on the way." ”
Wen Hao will ask: "Really fake?" ”
Qiangzi was a little embarrassed by Wen Hao's question, and smiled awkwardly, "Really, really, I went to the hotel to pull the group performance, and the group performance was gathered in the hotel." ”
"No, this scene won't be filmed today, right?" Wen Hao was tortured out of the psychological shadow.
"Don't worry, director, there won't be any more mistakes." Qiangzi hurriedly comforted the director.
Tao Ye persuaded Wen Hao: "Don't worry, the first day of running-in, the situation is normal, the progress of the filming dialogue scene is fast, and you can grab it back." ”
At this time, the large force of the crew arrived, several commercial vehicles pulling actors, several Jinbei vans pulling staff and props from various departments, as well as vans pulling equipment, power generation vehicles, and more than a dozen cars lined up and drove over. The convoy drove in front of the director and his party, and stopped not far in front of them to wait for the next instruction. So it instantly caused congestion on the road, more and more vehicles were blocked behind, and the urging horns came and went, and the strong son hurriedly ran over to command.
Wen Hao was a little overwhelmed when he saw the chaotic scene, and Tao Ye took the opportunity to say what he thought.
"Most of the scenes in the car are dialogue scenes, and they are also group scenes, every character has it, we only have one machine, and each camera has to be filmed, and we have to cooperate with artificial rainfall, which has to turn back and forth on the road and shoot over and over again. Look at this road condition, it is so narrow, it is very difficult for the van to turn around, and the long-distance bus is longer, so it can't fall off at all, and you have to drive to the town in front to make a U-turn, which is several kilometers. If you really shoot back and forth on this road, it will definitely be a waste of time, and it is estimated that you will have to shoot this scene for two days. ”
Wen Hao listened to Tao Ye's suggestion a little dazedly, and he didn't know how much he listened.
"Have you considered the plan I mentioned to you before?"
Wen Hao said with some embarrassment: "I've thought about it, but like you said, build a green cloth, and then synthesize the background in the later stage, is it possible?" I still think that real shooting is more down-to-earth, and if you can solve it with real shooting, you won't do special effects. ”
"Background compositing is now the easiest computer effect, and Hollywood blockbusters are shot like that." Tao Ye was confident, and said in a firm tone, "Let's find a place to park the car there, first shoot the scene in the car steadily, and then run a few times on the highway, and shoot the background outside the window according to the angle of the camera in the car, and then synthesize it in the later stage." ”
"I didn't have the budget for special effects in the later stage... Wen Hao is still not at ease.
Tao Ye said bitterly, "Background synthesis doesn't cost much, and it is the cheapest type of special effects in the post-production." I have it on my phone, show it to you. ”
Tao Ye clicked on his phone and played a video. The video shows a car driving on a steeper mountain road, but it is captured from various angles, and even some shots are impossible to take a position if they are shot in real time.
While watching, Tao Ye also explained.
"It's all background compositing, otherwise this angle can't be shot at all, and this technology is now very mature."
。。。
Wen Hao finally followed Tao Ye's advice, pulled the crew back from the mountain road, and returned to the riverside clearing.
The field service set up a green cloth in the open space by the river, the rented long-distance bus was surrounded by the green cloth, the lighting team was arranging lights in the car, and reflectors and butterfly cloth were also set up outside the car. On the roof of the car, Hadron and a field worker brother are experimenting with artificial rainfall, spraying water from the roof to the windows of the car with a portable device that sprays pesticides.
The production director bought two boxes of Red Bull and asked the field to be distributed to the entire crew.
The director shouted loudly: "The production team invites everyone to drink Red Bull, the progress was delayed today due to the problem of artificial rainfall, and it will be corrected tomorrow." ”
There was a burst of applause and laughter at the scene, and someone responded loudly, "Thank you, director, the brothers of the production team are so polite." ”
Tao Ye also shouted: "Thank you to the production team, the brothers of the production team have worked hard." ”
The producer and producer were not there, everyone's nerves were not so tense, and the scene was filled with a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.
Tao Ye and Wen Hao also shared a jar each, and Wen Hao gave his can of Red Bull to Tao Ye.
"Here you go, it's enough for me to drink coffee, and photography is also physical work, so you can top it when you're tired."
Tao Ye half-jokingly, "What did you do with Red Bull, Strongmaru?" ”
Wen Hao said again: "I carried the camera just now, it was really heavy, and it was really bearable to carry the whole film on my shoulders." ”
"Hey, it's okay, I also like this style of photography, it's hard, it's a good guy, and it's a strong sense of cinema."
Tao Ye has obviously entered a state of self-congratulatory creation.
With the crew Maverick spraying and maintaining the camera lens with an air canister, Tao Ye asked him: "Maverick, connect the monitor, I'll watch the playback." ”
"The card asked the coordinator to take it back, and the editing with the group had to be converted, and you can watch it when you go back to the hotel at night, and then they will transfer this one again, and it will take several hours for them to transfer one."
Tao Ye could only give up helplessly, "Ah... Okay, let's call it a day. ”
At this time, Wen Hao suddenly scolded softly, ", uncle." ”
Tao Ye glanced at Wen Hao puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”
Wen Hao was looking at the place where the actors were resting with displeasure, Tao Ye followed Wen Hao's line of sight and saw several actors chatting with laughter, relaxed and happy, but Fan Lina was not there, and she didn't know where to hide.
Wen Hao complained dissatisfiedly, "I just sent them a few pieces of music, all of which are classic thriller soundtracks, let them listen to them while they are waiting to find out the mood of the performance." It's all good.,You see it's going to be fun.,Leaning forward and back.,I don't want to play at all.。。。 Alas! That Kiki is also a fool, she doesn't think about how to perform well, what's the use of following others to make fools, what's the use of light mixing. ”
"Hey, don't be too demanding, if you can't shoot in real time, shoot a few more, and train with competitions, fortunately, there is no film now."
Wen Hao shook his head indignantly, "I feel sorry for them, when there is no filming, they cry and shout to find a film, and they can't grasp it well when they are filmed." What kind of acting is with you for a lifetime, and the movie has to watch the actors, especially the general audience, mainly to watch the drama and the actors' performances. Hey, why did Fan Lina go. ”
Wen Hao looked around, Fan Lina was not under the tent where the actors were resting.
"In the car, I see she just got in the car."
Wen Hao looked at the long-distance car, Fan Lina leaned against the window, seemed to be asleep, listening to music with headphones in her ears.
Another burst of laughter from the actor came, the sound was louder than just now, Wen Hao stomped his foot in anger, and impulsively grabbed the walkie-talkie, Tao Ye saw it, and quickly grabbed Wen Hao's hand and signaled him to calm down.
Wen Hao calmed down helplessly for a few seconds, then picked up the walkie-talkie, and said as restrained as possible: "Qiangzi Qiangzi, you go to see the scene, who is talking and laughing with that, it's started, everyone hurry up!" ”
The director's words could be heard on the intercom on the scene, and the actors obviously heard it too, so they quickly stopped laughing.
