Chapter 233: The Gap

After the events of that day, the next day, the crew sent someone to send Ma Guangru home.

It looks a bit like shirking responsibility.

But this can't be helped, no one wants the crew to have such a time bomb.

This time, he was drunk and drunk, but fortunately he was stopped by Gu Bei in time.

Otherwise......

Director Wang Fulin couldn't imagine that if there was no Gu Bei, the knife would have really been pierced into his chest by Ma Guangru.

"Dream of Red Mansions" will definitely not be filmed.

The actor committed suicide in the crew, and no matter how much attention was paid to the stage, the work of the crew had to be stopped.

The point is, that's a human life!

Wang Fulin can only hope that after Ma Guangru returns home, with the company of his family, his mental state can gradually stabilize.

At the same time, Wang Fulin also gave a gag order to the whole group, no matter when, he couldn't talk about it.

Gu Bei didn't take it to heart, he was stabbed on his hand, but after all, he saved a life, and it was worth it.

He stayed in the crew for a week, and Huang Yihe had to leave for Beijing after a phone call every day.

When Gu Bei returned to the capital, Director Yang Jie had already followed the delegation of the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda to Xiaori to participate in the TV art exchange meeting.

Director Yang Jie was not there, and the work of the crew of "Journey to the West" had to stop, Gu Bei stayed for a day, and was arranged by Hong Minsheng to go to the preparatory team for the Spring Festival Gala to continue the heavy work every day.

In fact, in Gu Bei's view, Director Huang Yihe has a lot of experience in organizing this kind of large-scale art show, as long as he doesn't do it, he doesn't have to twist it to do something, and the technical conditions can't be changed at all, and it doesn't matter if he helps or not.

After working for a while, just before the last makeup rehearsal at the Spring Festival Gala, Director Yang Jie came back.

"Director Yang, go out this time, the harvest is not small!"

When Gu Bei learned that Director Yang Jie was back, he immediately looked for him.

He went to live a small life in his previous life, and his impression of that there was a stereotype of the whole people, as for cleanliness and hygiene, high quality or something, he didn't see it at all.

In the previous life, there were often media reports that the quality of the people was high, and they went abroad to watch a ball with a garbage bag, and after the game was over, they would pick up garbage all over the field.

But in fact, the country is dirty and messy everywhere, and some places that represent the face can be cleaner.

Gu Bei has traveled with his friends several times, and has seen at least 100 people defecating on the street.

Can that thing be called high-quality?

Of course, Director Yang Jie didn't go out to inspect hygiene, looking at her dignified performance, it is obvious that this time in the past, I was hit hard by Xiaori's TV production level, technology, etc.

"What a gap! Xiao Gu, when I went out this time, I have to admit that the gap between the two sides is too big. ”

Hehe!

It's not like Director Yang Jie can say this.

The old lady's temper has always been that of a boiled duck - the meat is rotten and the mouth is not rotten.

Even if you admit it in your heart, you will never admit defeat on your lips.

"The quality of my work is actually not worse than theirs at all, and the real difference is in the production process."

Next, listening to director Yang Jie's description of this visit, Gu Bei understood how the old lady was hit like this by her little life.

As director Yang Jie said, the artistic quality of domestic TV dramas is not bad, and the "Counting and Collecting Zhu Bajie" she brought this time, after watching it, she was also amazed by the small days.

is not only an appreciation for the artistic quality, but what is even more surprising is that Xiaori's colleagues did not expect that a mythological drama like "Journey to the West" would be filmed by a female director.

At the beginning, when talking about some plot processing, Yang Jie was still at ease, but when asked about technical details, Yang Jie didn't know what to say.

"People ask how many cameras do the various angle changes of the lens do? I didn't even know how to answer at the time. ”

After listening to this, Gu Bei could also imagine how much shock Director Yang Jie's answer at that time would bring to his peers.

"I told them there was only one, and they thought I didn't understand their question, and I asked how many cameras were shooting at the same time?"

The various camera angles in "Journey to the West" are indeed hard to believe that they are done by a single camera.

But that's the case, in order to pursue multiple angles, a scene can only be remade and filmed several times.

The station has been chasing the progress, but with the existing conditions of the crew, how can the progress be fast.

I want the horse to run, but I don't give the horse grass.

It's okay to think about anything.

Yang Jie probably thought of the appearance of her peers when they got the answer at that time, and couldn't help laughing.

"We only had one camera, and all the shots were done by one videographer!"

Then the group of Xiaori peers collectively looked confused, and suspiciously used gestures to gesture high and low to various angles: "So? Such? One machine, one person? ”

"Yes, we don't have more cameras, just one camera, and all the shots are taken by one videographer, one shot!"

The other party obviously didn't believe Yang Jie's words, and felt that the old lady was bragging.

If you don't believe it, don't believe it, that's the case, and Yang Jie doesn't bother to argue.

Subsequently, Yang Jie and others visited the recording and broadcasting equipment of NHK TV station and the work process of the TV series they were recording.

The equipment of Xiaori TV is indeed not simple, compared to CCTV, it is too advanced.

"In a recording room, there are five or six cameras, and one can change the angle at will through remote control, up and down, left and right, and the lighting is also controlled by the remote control room of the central control room, as well as moving tracks and moving canopies...... All kinds of equipment, everything, Xiao Gu, can you imagine? On the roof of their building, I actually saw several helicopters for aerial photography. ”

In terms of hardware alone, Mrs. Yang was hit hard, what do people want, what do they want, they all do the same job, why is the gap so big?

Later, Yang Jie also observed the full production process of the TV series at the filming site.

In the huge studio, the interior scenes of several scenes were set up at the same time.

A scene is rehearsed in advance, all aspects of the problem are discussed, and then adjusted, and then the trial recording is completed, and the official filming is completed.

It only takes one or two times for the scene to be done.

The actor then goes directly to the interior of another scene to shoot the next scene.

"I don't feel like they're acting, no, I should say that their work is not close to art at all, it's more like ......."

Yang Jie couldn't think of the right words for a while.

"Industrial products!"

Gu Bei said.

Yang Jie slapped her thigh when she heard this: "That's right, it's an industrial product, every step is designed in advance, and then it doesn't matter whether it's in front of the stage or behind the scenes, as long as you do your part according to the design." ”

As she spoke, Yang Jie shook her head: "I don't approve of this method, but their work efficiency is indeed very fast." ”

Look at people and think about yourself.

The production process of the TV series in the industrialized assembly line mode of Xiaori can shoot almost one episode a day, and if it goes well, there can be more.

"Journey to the West" has been launched in 82 years until now, more than three years have passed, and the first eleven episodes have just been produced.

If you simply compare the work efficiency, it is really embarrassing.

"At that time, Lao Ruan also asked me, can I learn from others and shoot faster, am I willing to procrastinate like this? If I had the same working conditions, I would be faster than them! ”

Ahem!

Gu Bei looked at the old lady and became excited again, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Seeing this, Yang Jie glared: "What's wrong?" You also think I'm not modest. ”

Obviously, when she was a child, Mrs. Yang had been criticized by Mrs. Ruan like this.

Yang Jie seems to want to prove something: "If we can have equipment like home, I will definitely be able to shoot "Journey to the West" better." ”

Gu Bei must believe this, but it's a pity that when the country also has the same hardware equipment, even better than Xiaori, the original intention of TV workers is gone.

What people are pursuing is no longer a higher level of art, but, a thing called traffic.

In Gu Bei's previous life, he was even too lazy to watch TV, especially domestic TV series, looking at the delicate and paralyzed faces on the big screen, he really couldn't arouse the slightest interest.

Yang Jie continued: "Just for a few aerial shots, people actually have helicopters, I can't believe it if I don't see it with my own eyes, let alone a helicopter, even if anyone can lend us one, that scene won't be unacceptable." ”

Gu Bei knew that Yang Jie was talking about the crew filming "Treasure Lotus Cave" in Yunnan Stone Forest.

Because the environment of the stone forest is very special, Yang Jie wanted to shoot an overhead shot to show the local geographical environment in an all-round way.

However, how to shoot such a wide range of overhead shots?

So, the crew contacted the Air Force stationed in Kunming and asked for support.

In order to ask for help, the crew also specially organized a gala in exchange for a chance to take the camera to the sky with the machine during flight practice.

The other party agreed very happily, and promised to take Wang Chongqiu to shoot over the stone forest during flight practice.

Hearing the news, everyone was very excited, and they felt advanced just thinking about it for aerial photography.

For this reason, the crew also made full preparations, and at the filming site, in order to avoid goofs, everyone had to put on the costumes of the little monsters, wait in an open place, and when they saw the plane coming from a distance, everyone followed.

Wang Chongqiu also took the camera assistant and went to the airport early in the morning to prepare.

When the plane came, a group of adults ran and chased like fools who had never seen the world, not caring whether the ground was mud or stones.

The plane flew very fast, and the "whoosh" passed all at once, and everyone had not run far, they had already flown far, and before they could take a breath, the plane flew back again, so everyone rushed to run.

After running back and forth several times, the plane finally flew away.

Everyone was sweating, and they collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, not wanting to move.

But thinking that they finally had the first aerial shot in their play, the big guy was still very excited.

However, when Wang Chongqiu and others came back from the air base, they brought very bad news and didn't shoot anything.

It turned out that after waiting on the plane, I found out that the plane was not suitable for filming at all.

Wang Chongqiu and the others thought of a way to tie Wang Chongqiu next to the plane door with a rope, let him lie on the plane door, and leaned out to take pictures of the picture below.

The plane flew sideways all the way, and you can imagine how dangerous it is without experimenting with it, which is an angle that can pour Wang Chongqiu out.

The camera assistant in the plane hugged Wang Chongqiu's waist, which was a better protection measure than nothing.

At the same time, for fear of the camera falling, he was also hoisted and tied to the plane.

The wind in the sky is strong, the air flow is also strong, during the flight, the plane has been shaking, Wang Chongqiu has to use all his strength to stabilize the camera, just like this, all the way over, flying over the stone forest.

But at this time, the sky suddenly changed, it was drizzling, and the plane flew too fast and too high to shoot the desired picture at all.

Wang Chongqiu repeatedly asked the plane to fly low, but the reply he received was, no, there are regulations, and you can't fly low in the mountains.

Therefore, the plane flew over the stone forest several times, but Wang Chongqiu not only did not see the people running below, but also did not even see the mountains of the large stone forest.

A group of people who don't believe in evil and gather around to watch the replay, the final result is that not a single figure is found.

It turns out that not all work can be completed by hard work, and the crew of "Journey to the West" is so poor that it can only be a pipe dream if you want to use aerial footage.

This time she went to Xiaori, Yang Jie actually saw a helicopter specially used for aerial photography on the roof of NHK TV.

At that time, I remembered the aerial photography experience in the Stone Forest.

It's really infinitely emotional.

If the crew of "Journey to the West" can have the same conditions as a small day, how many ideas that can only stay in the mind can become reality, and how much shooting efficiency can be improved!

The reality is that the crew of "Journey to the West" only has one camera, in order to make full use of the lens language to express the blending of scenes, changes in feelings, the atmosphere of time and space, the scheduling of actors, and the rhythm of the plot......

The whole crew can be said to have hollowed out their minds, thought of all methods, and used them!

Of course, it's all a way to get rid of the scum, but in this condition where there is nothing, what other way can there be?

"Xiao Gu, when do you think we can have someone with such conditions?"

After saying this, Yang Jie felt that she was delusional.

The state is now focusing all its energy on developing the economy, and the amount of money that can be allocated to CCTV every year is a lot, and this money must first ensure the production of programs, and it is impossible to update the equipment.

Gu Bei listened, and suddenly felt a little sad, Director Yang Jie's requirements are not high, even if he adds a camera, he can make the old lady happy for a long time.

But even such a small request could not be met because of the conditions in the station.

Later, the conditions improved, and even surpassed Xiaori's peers, but the TV workers at that time had long since lost the heart to pursue higher artistic quality.

"Director Yang, the telephoto camera in the station, you ...... Want to do it or not? ”

Some people died, but not completely......
