Around.

There was silence.

In fact, everyone never thought that Ji Sheng would be able to write a high-quality script at first, or that he would write a script that conforms to the format.

But now in this situation, all the people on the scene looked at each other and didn't know what to say, if according to Ji Sheng's performance just now, this is no longer as simple as simply writing a screenplay.

Because he not only wrote the script on the spot, but also wrote the song together without thinking.

No matter how powerful a screenwriter is, it is impossible to achieve such an awesome performance!

Writing a script on the spot?

Comes with original music?

What kind of man of God can do this?

Just now everyone heard Howard. Bruckner made such a speechless request to Ji Sheng, and when he heard Ji Sheng, he agreed without thinking about it, and thought that Ji Sheng's heart was swollen because he had made great achievements in the financial industry.

Now it seems that there is a reason for people's hearts to swell.

People really don't take writing scripts seriously!

The key is that the quality of the script written so far can be understood by anyone, and it is definitely the best work!

Such a foil, on the contrary, everyone seems too underestimated!

Ji Sheng looked at the script of the five shots that he had written, and then looked at the time on his watch, "Well, these five shots should be enough to shoot this afternoon." As he spoke, he looked at Howard. Bruckner said calmly, "I'll write a script for five scenes for the time being, so I can write a script, right?"

Howard. Bruckner smiled wryly, "It's not just that."

There was still a word behind him, and it was simply brilliantly written.

Take him Howard. The opening of the script written by Bruckner is worthless compared to what Ji Sheng is currently writing.

To know Howard. Bruckner is a professional screenwriter and a successful director, but now he is compared to Ji Sheng, a person who plays finance, in terms of writing scripts, so naturally he can't say words of praise.

Ji Sheng said casually: "Well, since Howard, you recognize my ability to write the script, then I also give a guarantee to the people in the crew, I will write the script as soon as possible tonight, and give the new script to everyone before the start of production tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay, Mr. Sheng."

"Then you're going to have to work overtime tonight."

"Mr. Sheng's ability to write scripts is really amazing, I really can't imagine that he has to create a complete script overnight."

Kai Li, Kevin. Dodd and the others were speechless.

Although Madonna and Aniston and the others did not speak, they did not doubt the authenticity of Ji Sheng's words, because judging from the fact that Ji Sheng sat at the table for a short time and wrote five scenes plus a song, it seems that writing a complete script overnight is not a big deal.

As for the quality, without thinking about writing such a wonderful five shots, you still have to doubt the level?

Everyone has no objections to the script and recognizes Ji Sheng's creative level, but it does not mean that there are no doubts in other aspects.

Howard. Bruckner questioned, "Tomorrow?"

Ji Sheng looked at him, "What?"

Howard. Bruckner snorted and said, "I'll admit that your script is very good, but did you just say that you want to shoot a few shots to convince me?" Otherwise, I won't turn it on." ….

The people around all showed disdain when they heard it, just this script written by Ji Sheng, just find a director to shoot it, as long as the level of lens use and color use is not too bad, the basic shooting will not be bad, after all, the story is over there.

But this premise is also a director who knows how to move the camera and color layout.

If you change to a director with a very poor level, even the best script may not be able to make a good movie, not to mention that it is not only the shooting that affects the quality of the movie, but also the post-editing.

The simplest example is "Justice League" and the Zadao version of "Justice League".

This film is Zach. Photographed by Schneider

, just because of the death of Zadao's daughter, he had to leave the crew.

Fortunately, the film had already been filmed when Director Za left, and only needed to complete post-production and editing.

Unfortunately, the director of the "Avengers" series, George . Whedon took over the work of Zao.

Then two "Justice Leagues" with very different reviews appeared.

George. The "Justice League" that Whedon took over was scolded, and the Zadao version was well received.

This is something shot by the same director, but the post-production and editing are different, and it can have such a huge impact on the movie!

You can imagine how important the director is to a movie.

Ji Sheng, a person who plays finance, is already remarkable to be able to write such a high-quality script, which shows that he does have a deep understanding of movies, but now you want a person who plays finance to be the director and shoot high-quality pictures?

You Howard. Bruckner is not a deception!

Li Kai glared at Howard with the same dissatisfaction. Bruckner leaned into Ji Sheng's ear and said, "Mr. Sheng, don't worry about him in general, if you can't do it, I'll talk to him, let him apologize to you, and then continue to be a director."

Kevin. Dodd also approached and said, "Mr. Sheng, judging from the script you just wrote, you definitely understand the art of film, and you are very proficient in that, even if today's events get out, others will not have any opinion of you, only that he Howard. Bruckner is messing around, since you have proven your level of film art, then you can ask Howard how to shoot, if he has any more opinions at that time, I will immediately report to the company and let the company fire him directly, but if you insist on shooting a few shots, the result is unsatisfactory, but it will fall into the hands of others, give Howard a chance to refute, there is no need to be angry with him."

Ji Sheng looked at them, then at the crowd around him and at Howard, who was standing with an ugly face. Bruckner replied directly in the volume of his normal voice: "No, I just said, I have always been reasonable, I have my film shooting philosophy, Howard has Howard's, since everyone has different ideas, we must always prove whose concept is better, and then decide whether to continue to cooperate, if I don't cooperate, I have to choose a director who meets my concept to shoot, cooperate, and shoot according to my concept, understand what I mean?"

Well, having said that, in fact, Ji Sheng will definitely not be able to continue to use Howard. Bruckner, this guy's concept of making movies can't understand the highlights of the revue at all, if "Chicago" is let the other party continue to shoot, it will definitely be a bad movie. ….

"Understood."

"Mr. Sheng, I understand."

Kai Lee and Kevin. Dodd nodded in response.

They understand it, but they are worried in their hearts, shooting is not the same as writing a script, if you write a script, you can still rely on imagination and literary skills to make up for it, this shooting requires professional techniques, you can't even move the camera, how can you direct and shoot a movie?

The rest of the crew, including other crews, all thought so, they were all worried about Ji Sheng, worried that they shouldn't fight for this tone, because without professional techniques, you can't shoot that effect at all.

If there was anyone at the scene who was happier, it was probably Howard. Bruckner, Ji Sheng originally wrote a high-quality script, which has already embarrassed him, proving that Ji Sheng does understand movies, but what does Ji Sheng say now? Want to shoot? The footage that will be shot later is of very poor quality, and he Howard. Bruckner has something to say again!

Not to mention that Ji Sheng doesn't understand film art at all, it's okay to say that he is not so proficient, right?

Isn't this a side reaction to the conversation just now, Howard. Bruckner can't be wrong, if any?

Everyone has their own thoughts.

Because if you want to shoot, you have to go back to the studio.

So, the crew went into the studio, and the other two crew members were so curious that they simply didn't care whether the crew of "Chicago" agreed or not, and stood at the door to watch, they all thought about it, if the crew of "Chicago" drove people, then it would not be too late for them to leave.

It's just that at this time, the attention of the "Chicago" crew is all on Ji Sheng alone, who cares about others

Yes?

Ji Sheng pretended to go to the toilet and looked at the first few scenes of "Chicago", as well as the transfer of the camera.

When he returned, he immediately instructed the scenographer on how to set it up.

At this point, everyone can't see anything, and they can't see Ji Sheng's professional level in shooting, but they feel that the set is not bad.

After the set was completed, Ji Sheng sat next to the director's mirror, and the first thing he said when he came up scared everyone stupid, only to see Ji Sheng look sideways at the assistant director next to him, "How does this thing work?"

Li Kai: "......"

Madonna: "......"

Kevin. Dodd and Others: "......"

Everyone was stupid by Ji Sheng's sassy operation!

Nima!

You don't even know how to operate the director's mirror, do you still want to direct the filming?

Howard. Bruckner couldn't help but be happy, judging from Ji Sheng's performance, he definitely couldn't make a good film!

The assistant director was quite professional, and immediately told Ji Sheng how to operate.

After Ji Sheng roughly understood, he stared at the director's mirror and looked at the set first, frowned and said, "This light color doesn't look right."

"What kind of lighting do you want to use?" The assistant director asked.

Where does Ji Sheng know what kind of lighting to use, he just forced it according to the original movie "Chicago" he watched, "The lighting should be a little blue."

Howard. Bruckner was about to burst out laughing, and said in his heart that you can't even say the technical terms of lighting, and you are still putting garlic here?

Others are also full of black lines, do you know how to shoot?

Fortunately, the assistant director understood what Ji Sheng meant, and said thoughtfully: "Do you mean that the overall tone is blue, floodlight and RAR lights?" ….

Ji Sheng didn't understand these things, "It should be like this."

The assistant director immediately went to ask the gaffer.

A couple of gaffers adjusted the color tone at once.

Ji Sheng stared at it a few more times, "The overall color looks okay, but I feel like it's still a little bit bad."

The assistant director blinked and said, "How do you want to feel?"

"What was the typical nightclub atmosphere of the 20s? It's nothing more than mysterious, sexy, psychedelic." Ji Sheng's eyes lit up as he spoke, "Yes, add some orange and some red wine to it."

The assistant director suddenly realized, "Orange and pins."

"yes, orange is better for the auditorium, as for the backlight...... I guess that's the term." Ji Sheng recalled seeing the analysis of the colors of "Chicago" from the evening and said, "There should be three kinds of blue, fret, and white."

"I'll talk to the gaffer."

After the assistant director finished speaking, he went to communicate with the lighting engineer again.

Everyone else already wants to cover their faces, because what Ji Sheng has shown so far, so to speak, doesn't know anything about filming.

Even Aniston and Madonna, two women who have a slightly different relationship with Ji Sheng, are smiling bitterly at the moment.

Fortunately, under the command of Ji Sheng, the set was quickly completed.

At this time, everyone casually looked at it, and suddenly discovered a new world!

Because for the first time, they felt that the scenery in front of them looked so mysterious, psychedelic and sexy under the illumination of different shades of lights, almost exactly the same as what Ji Sheng just said.

Hey?

Although Ji Sheng doesn't understand professional terms, the scenes he commands and arranges are better than professional?

Everyone seemed a little stunned, is this the so-called talent?

Even Howard. Bruckner had to admit that the scenery and lighting tone in front of Ji Sheng were simply excellent.

Looks like there's something in there.

The eyes of everyone looking at Ji Sheng changed from worry to appreciation.

And Ji Sheng had already told the assistant director over there to let the actors be in place.

Although the assistant director is only twenty-eight or nineteen years old, he is very clever.

acted as Ji Sheng's hand, and immediately commanded: "The actors are in place."

The first scene is in a nightclub, and there is no need for the two leading actors to appear, and the other supporting characters are in place.

When the playing board is over, it is time to enter the official shooting session.

The first shot is taken of the black actor's mouth, which quickly says "five, six, seven, eight", and then the chandelier camera cuts to a few people smoking in a nightclub, and a jazz band in a cabaret hall.

Ji Sheng suddenly shouted, "Ka!"

"What's wrong?"

"Shouting cards so soon?"

Everyone thought it was inexplicable.

Howard. Bruckner didn't understand either, wasn't this a good shot, why stop it?

The assistant director hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Sheng, what's wrong?"

Ji Sheng frowned and said, "The camera moves too slowly, I ask for the camera to move to the manager within thirty seconds."

Yes?

So fast?

No one understands why.

And this kind of shot seems to everyone to have nothing to call for stopping, because it can be edited in post. ….

But Ji Sheng made such a request, and others could only comply.

After a short time, resume shooting.

This time, the camera moved just right.

The manager weaves through the crowd and asks, "Did anyone see Sister Kelly?"

Filming continues.

Ji Sheng kept directing the camera to advance and pull out, he didn't understand those terms, what lens to use, etc., he just said how much the lens was pulled away or how much it was closer, although the photographer was speechless, but he could understand what he said, and he did what Ji Sheng said throughout the whole process.

The first act was quickly filmed.

The speed of Ji Sheng's shooting is incredible, and it may take two or three shots like this to pass, but Ji Sheng didn't stop at all except for shouting a card at the beginning.

Is it good to shoot like this?

Everyone was confused.

Ji Sheng didn't care what everyone thought, and began to direct the set designer to re-set the set.

Howard. Bruckner couldn't help but ask, "Can't you just finish filming all the scenes in post-editing?" Do you have to change the set now?"

Ji Shengli ignored him, directly asked people to re-set the scene, and told Madonna who was going to appear next how to perform, and he also demonstrated it himself.

Madonna was amused by him, but she still learned something.

Suddenly, Ji Sheng stared at Madonna, as if he had thought of something, and turned his head and shouted, "Styling! Styling!"

The stylist ran over quickly, and it was a Caucasian woman in her thirties, "Sir, what's wrong?"

The others also looked at it in bewilderment.

Madonna didn't take it seriously and was about to pull out a cigarette and smoke.

Ji Sheng suddenly pointed at Madonna and said, "Cut her hair short."

Madonna: "......" She looked at Ji Sheng with dark eyes and a look of shock, "Cut my hair short?"

Ji Sheng seemed to have entered tyrant mode, and he didn't explain to Madonna at all, and directly said loudly, "Hurry up! I'm going to shoot this second one soon, go cut her hair short, it's like ......" He searched the crowd and noticed that there was a supporting actress whose hair resembled Velma in the movie, and he pointed over, "That's it!"

The stylist said, "Yes sir."

Madonna didn't want to cut her hair short, and wanted to argue with reason, "Mr. Ji, hairstyle ......"

Ji Sheng is extremely tyrant at the moment, "Go cut it!"

Madonna has such a strong character, and when she saw Ji Sheng's appearance at this moment, she instinctively froze, muttered a few words and followed the stylist.

Soon, the second act began to be filmed.

Because Ji Sheng taught him in advance, this one was directly passed.

Act III!

Act IV!

Act V!

Except for the fifth act, when Madonna was singing, Ji Sheng shouted a halt for two

One of them communicated with the lights, and the other time was that Ji Sheng personally taught Madonna how to scratch her head and dance on the stage, because his appearance of a big man scratching his head and posing was so funny that everyone laughed over there.

Basically, all the others are gone.

Soon, the five scenes written by Ji Sheng were filmed, and it took less than two hours in total, and most of the time was spent on the set lighting.

After Ji Sheng finished shooting, he was extremely satisfied, and said to others: "Wash out the film, and then play it to see how it goes." ….

Howard. Bruckner was stunned for a moment, "Don't you want to edit?"

Ji Sheng looked at it suspiciously, "Edit? No, you don't."

Yes?

Don't need any clips?

Just show everyone the shooting just now?

Everyone was fooled by Ji Sheng again, what's so nice about this?

After the film was developed and played, everyone understood why Ji Sheng said that there was no need to edit!

In the studio, in order to make Howard. Bruckner was convinced to resign, and Ji Sheng specially asked people to play the picture he had just shot, well, all of them copied the original "Chicago", and he copied the original version of every shot, so naturally there was no bad situation where the shot was taken.

Even because the script copied by Ji Sheng from modern society was directly written by netizens based on the "Chicago" movie, there was no waste of a single shot.

This also formed an amazing picture, that is, the shots that Ji Sheng shot just now can almost be said to be one shot to the end!

Except for the lighting of the fifth shot and Madonna's performance is not in place and shouts to stop, the others can basically be said to be one shot to the end.

Sure enough, when it started playing, many people were taken aback.

"Huh?"

"This light, this shot, it's used so well!"

"Yes, this mirror movement is absolutely masterful."

"Mr. Ji obviously doesn't even know professional terms, it's obviously the first time to do this kind of work as a director, how can he be so good at camera movement and lighting?"

"Yes, look at it, this professional technique, this switching of shots, and the contrast of colors, it is simply amazing."

"And it really feels like watching a movie directly."

"This ...... Is this a shot to the end?"

The character's position, moving line, camera angle, camera movement, perspective change and transition, combination of character activity and camera movement, camera zoom, camera jump from one character to another, etc., bring the audience clear space, empathy, and present a series of relationships and deep emotions between characters, all of which are excellent!

No, it's not just as simple as being excellent, it can be said that it is completely reproducing an excellent movie lens and layout.

Some people even instinctively wondered, Ji Sheng, should these be copies of the picture of a top director after shooting, right? can think about it and know that it is impossible, because the script was written by Ji Sheng on the spot, and the shooting was also in front of everyone, but he just did it, and he achieved the level of a top director!

Well, in fact, everyone guessed correctly, Ji Sheng directly reproduced every camera movement and detail of the successful film "Chicago", in addition to the different actors, even the micro-expressions, he asked the actors to reproduce them, which will naturally give everyone this amazing feeling.

I can't create, can't I copy it?

Ji Sheng said this to himself silently, and then thought of a man with a penguin logo standing behind him with glasses, copy, I am professional in this regard, and I can even compete with Brother Ma.

The assistant director was a little blind, busy watching Howard. Bruckner, "Howard, can a movie still be made like this?"

People make movies with different plots on the same screen, and then edit them in the later stage, you Ji Sheng shoot directly according to the plot, and the most important thing is that you haven't wasted much time to shoot it, how can this not make everyone confused?

The lighting, camera movement, etc. are also mastery, and now there is almost a one-shot shooting technique?

everyone

It's a bit of a blur.

Everyone else looked at Howard with dark eyes. Bruckner, they all know the scene Howard. Bruckner is the most professional and authoritative in this regard.

But after looking at it, they found that Howard. Bruckner was even bigger than their eyes, and needless to say, everyone understood.

O my God!

Howard. Bruckner was also surprised by the camera in the picture shot by Ji Sheng?

Everyone swiped it, and they all looked at Ji Sheng.

Although you can't even speak the professional terminology of the director, you really know how to shoot!

Everyone paid attention to the picture that was still playing, the picture was very smooth, obviously this was just filmed, and it had not been edited, but everyone seemed to be watching a movie, this feeling was amazing!

Finally, the shots just shot ended with Madonna singing.

Everyone was silent.

They were all so unbelievable by Ji Sheng's unbelievable shooting technique that they didn't know what to say, what could this be? .

Then smile
