July 8th.

Bangkok, southern Thailand, outside a public hospital.

In front of the monitor, Fang Ziheng sat in the director's chair, wearing an army-green windbreaker, dressed as a genius 'Qin Feng'.

Next to him, Wen Muye and Liu Liang sat on the left and right, and the two of them communicated with the other two assistant directors who entered the hospital in advance through the walkie-talkie from time to time.

Ten minutes later, Fang Ziheng checked all the shots, stood up and waved his hand: "OK, transfer to the hospital, go upstairs!" ”

"Transitions, transitions!"

"Everybody move, pack up the equipment, and don't leave things behind."

"The actors went up first, Assistant Director Hao, they were ready upstairs, and they hurriedly rehearsed and stood when they were in place,"

At the sound of an order, a large group of people sorted out the equipment and walked into the hospital gate in a hurry.

The hospital sent a special person to contact the crew and welcome international friends to come and shoot the movie.

Upstairs in the hospital, there were many heads lying in front of the window, and they looked at the group of uninvited guests downstairs with interest.

Southern Thailand is a tourist destination, I don't know how many foreign tourists we have to receive every year, and several public hospitals often rent out venues for crews from various countries to shoot movies, so I am not too surprised by the arrival of the crew of "Tang Detective".

These days, Fang Ziheng is filming while paying attention to domestic news.

With the release of "Transformers 2", this year's summer file has officially kicked off.

Since June 24th, "Transformers 2" has been pushed all the way, cutting down several small-budget movies, and there is not even any scum left.

34 million on the first day, 160 million in the first 5 days of the first week, and another 140 million in the second week.

Within 12 days of its release, the total box office of "Transformers 2" reached 300 million, creating the fastest box office record to break 300 million in China.

12 days!

Three hundred million!

The extremely dazzling data completely shook the entertainment industry.

In the entire summer season, no movie can stop the strong pace of "Transformers 2".

The media have shouted that the wolf is coming, and driven by well-intentioned people, they are divided into two camps to lead the heat and topics on the Internet.

Some media saw the decline of domestic films, followed a group of experts and professors to talk about it, and pointed fingers at domestic films, what should be done!

There are also some media that have fallen out of the market, which are the handiwork of several major Chinese-speaking film companies, who are more rational, analyze the gap between domestic films and Hollywood from multiple angles, and call on higher authorities to strengthen the protection and support of domestic films.

And Fang Ziheng's conversation with Chen Yu and Zhao Changan on the plane has become a weapon and a support for several major movie giants.

Start with co-productions, stand on the commanding heights of justice, and first put shackles on imported Hollywood films, limit their number, and the time of release.

In the summer season, it must enter the domestic film protection month!

Hua Yi Wang Zhongjun danced the most, this guy praised Fang Ziheng's views and opinions on co-productions, and proudly said that their company's "King of Kung Fu" is one of the benchmarks.

Wang Zhongjun called on his peers in the industry to take the investment and cast of "The King of Kung Fu" as the shooting standard, otherwise it would not be a co-production.

Not to mention, Wang Zhongjun's move is in the hands of the superior leaders, and at the literary symposium a few days ago, the leaders praised Hua Yi by name.

Wang Zhongjun's smile blossomed, and he personally called Fang Ziheng and asked him when he would return to China and if he needed financial help.

Huayi is about to be listed, after the box office bombardment of "Transformers 2", and Wang Zhongjun seized the opportunity to promote a wave of publicity, the secondary market did not decline but increased, and the momentum was very good.

In addition, Wang Changtian and Yu Dong also began to prepare for the listing, while secretly watching Wang Zhongjun's performance, while waiting for the results of Huayi after listing.

A "Transformers", stirring the entire entertainment industry undercurrent!

..........

The seventh floor of the hospital.

Fang Ziheng held a small horn in his hand and carefully inspected the entire range of the set.

"Are the group performances in place?"

"It's in place, and all the group performances have been rehearsed several times in advance."

"The lights, circuits, and elevators must be pinched on time, and let the props department and the actors audition a few more times."

"Understood, Director!"

One of the assistant directors who went upstairs in advance, Hao Yi looked serious, and was behind Fang Ziheng while reporting.

In addition to being the assistant director of "Tang Detective", he is also a film art designer, according to the requirements of director Fang Ziheng, and strives to have a sudden absurd picture under the rigorous plot logic.

Today's scene in the hospital is the heart and soul of the entire movie "Detective Chinatown", and it is also the biggest comedy laugh in the movie.

Several of them assistant directors had to be cautious, had to be careful.

After checking all the details, Fang Ziheng patted Hao Yi's shoulder and expressed his satisfaction.

After a few more glances, he turned on the small speaker and said loudly: "All departments report the situation!" ”

"Props in place!"

"Photography in place!"

"The group performance is in place!"

"Report, the actors are still rehearsing, and it will take time."

"Twenty minutes to prepare!"

Fang Ziheng instructed, came to the makeup artist, and asked her to see if she needed to touch up her makeup.

As soon as he sat down, he saw Hao Yi frowning behind the mirror, looking at the light on the ceiling of the hospital from time to time.

"Old Hao, what's wrong with you?"

"Director Fang, the circuit and elevator are easy to do, as long as the leading actor appears on time, the three-party lens differentiation can be perfectly achieved, I'm just a little worried about the lighting!"

"What's wrong with the lights?"

Fang Ziheng waved his hand to stop the makeup artist, twisted the stool and turned to look at Hao Yi.

"Fang Dao, look."

Hao Yi pointed to the chandelier outside the elevator, and said hesitantly: "According to the plot design, in the sight of the Tang Detective duo, the police passed by the elevator, the elevator door opened, and the three robbers walked out of the elevator on time and came to the seventh floor.

The police noticed something unusual and came back to question the three robbers, which led to a fight between the police and the robbers.

The problem now is that after the duo blocks the circuit, the scene will be pitch black, not only will the shooting and lighting be more difficult, but the vision of the leading actors and group actors will also be affected.

In this way, the rush and panic caused will be infinitely magnified, and the comedy will be greatly reduced in terms of visual effects! ”

After speaking, Hao Yi looked at Fang Ziheng fixedly, expecting him to have a solution.

He has thought of several methods these days, but he has gained little, but none of them can perfectly reflect the comedic effect required by the plot.

Fang Ziheng's expression was calm, and he smiled faintly: "Old Hao, if you can think of this question, it means that you have studied deeply in the art picture." ”

Hao Yi is right to be worried, in the dark scene, the police and bandits are fighting, bullets are flying, tongues of fire are swallowed, no matter how you look at this kind of scene, there will be no comedy.

Even if the three parties appear together under the coincidence of the plot, the contrasting cuteness and comedy generated will be diluted in the dark night and shootout, and the comedic effect will be wiped out immediately.

"Then Fang Dao, do you have any way?" Hao Yi asked softly with anticipation in his eyes.

Fang Ziheng turned around, raised his hand and drew two circles above his head, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, these sets of lenses will be post-processed and all set to slow down shots!" ”

"Slow down?"

Hao Yi muttered to himself, thoughtful.

Thinking about it, his eyes lit up, and his whole eyebrows danced.

That's right!

As long as the camera is slowed down, the excitement and panic of the police and bandits can be reduced.

Not only that, but the slow motion of the camera can also retain the comedy color caused before, and even make the picture more absurd.

it...

How I didn't think of using this method.

The more he thought about it, the more Hao Yi felt that this method was feasible!

Fang Ziheng looked at Senior Brother Hao, who was looking excited behind the mirror, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

That's where it is!

When he released the song "The Past Can Only Be Recalled" on the scene, and the actors performed along to the music in the dark.

You'll see what it's like to get the comedic effect right.
