Chapter 581. Sharp style and full play [two-in-one]
Hong Kong Island, the filming site of "New World".
Because today is the first scene of the start-up, so several leading actors came with it, and when the start-up ceremony was in the morning, the weather was still good, and the day was also a specially selected auspicious time and auspicious day, but as soon as the noon passed, the sky was inexplicably raining.
The original filming plan will definitely not be able to go ahead, but I heard that director Sun Yi temporarily modified the scene and changed it to a set of rainy shots by taking advantage of the weather, including Wang Jinsong, Ding Yongdai, and a group of Hong Kong Island cast and crew who worked with Sun Yi for the first time are faintly curious.
I have heard of Sun Yi's level and strength, but after all, hearing is false and seeing is believing, and I also have the idea of seeing his door at this time.
Especially the Hong Kong Island staff summoned by Lao Li, they just heard that the club group performance prepared by assistant director Ah Fei was vetoed by director Sun Yi, saying that he wanted to change the way and perform a different feeling.
What other way can the "rotten boy" in the club be, just be more ruthless and don't want to die, what else can you do? Could it be that it should be made like a hot-blooded college, but this is a realistic theme, not a manga movie.
Although these Hong Kong Island personnel temporarily convened by Lao Li were curious, their professionalism was not bad at all, and the work in hand was not left behind at all, and the cooperation between them was also very tacit.
First, the lighting assistant metered with a light meter, then raised a finger at the camera assistant and crossed it again.
This is the case when shooting in the rain, because the amount of rain and the darkness of the sky often lead to overexposure, and overexposure is very detrimental to the performance of rain scenes. Because the contrast on a rainy day is small, overexposure will make the contrast even smaller, making the image in the lens look gray.
At this time, it is necessary to actively reduce the exposure and prolong the development according to the on-site luminosity measured by the light meter.
The gesture of the lighting assistant just now is a simple command in their industry.
Putting up a finger means reducing the exposure by one stop according to the normal exposure, and then horizontally means adding half a stop, that is, the exposure at this time should be reduced by one and a half stops, and the development time should be increased by 30% to improve the contrast of the picture.
The camera assistant received the instruction, quickly adjusted it, and then turned on the camera to test shoot, and after confirming that there was no problem, he put a rain curtain on the camera and came to the pre-arranged camera position.
In this scene, Sun Yi arranged three groups of ground photography and a high-altitude rocker arm photography, of which the ground group used a high-speed camera to capture the moment when the rain was low, and the rocker arm wanted to shoot a high-altitude top-down lens, and the remaining two groups were used for character follow-up and positive and negative shooting, which were uniformly deployed by photographer Lao Li, and he was personally responsible for a group of leading actors.
It didn't take a while, all four groups of photography were in place, and Lao Li reported to Sun Yi with the intercom.
"Director, cinematography rolling, everything is ok."
"Roger."
Sun Yi replied succinctly with the intercom, at the moment he was sitting in the monitoring booth, facing four groups of photographic images in front of him, which was the effect he wanted.
Because it was still raining outside, several other leading actors who had no drama did not stay outside, and at the invitation of Liu Yifei, they entered the monitoring studio together.
Logically speaking, the director's monitoring studio, it is not that the actor can come in if he wants to, even if the leading actor wants to look back at the specific effect after filming, it must be agreed by the director.
can't stand the presence of Liu Yifei, a loser, she directly used Sun Yi, the director's territory, to send favors, and Sun Yi had no way at all.
I chose it myself, so bear with it.
Fortunately, everyone is mixed in this industry, and people give face, which does not mean that they can be presumptuous, so even if they entered Sun Yi's monitoring shed, they consciously retreated a few steps, and at the same time kept quiet, not daring to disturb him at all.
Of course, Liu Yifei is too, although she is very generous to her boyfriend, she is still very clear in major matters, and she doesn't dare to disturb Sun Yi at this time.
was about to take a real shot, Sun Yi picked up the headset, and before putting it on, he deliberately turned his head slightly and glanced at Liu Yifei with his residual vision.
Xiao Nizi felt Sun Yi's gaze in front of everyone, and a strange feeling burst out in her heart, instinctively blushing, pursed her mouth, and flew at him playfully.
Hehe, interesting.
Sun Yi smiled in his heart, withdrew his gaze, and when he turned his head, his face had already returned to a serious look, put on a headset, and picked up the intercom.
"Departments prepare."
Before the voice fell, the intercom received replies from each group.
"The lights are ok, the recording is ok, and the actors are in place."
Listening to the replies of each group, Sun Yi's heart moved slightly, as if the entire set was his kingdom alone, and he was the king here, this feeling of control was very good, which made him a little addicted and even couldn't stop.
"Playing the board."
"The first scene of "New World" is the first shot."
"Let's go~!"
First, the image of the high-speed camera caught everyone's eye.
Raindrops the size of beans fell obliquely from the sky and fell to the ground, splitting into several petals.
Immediately afterward, a crane camera captures a long shot from above.
On the other side of the road, a convoy appeared, and a black tiger ran with a double flash, speeding up, splashing on the side of the road.
In the next second, the convoy stopped in front of the door, the one in the middle did not move, the two cars that started and dragged behind opened the car door one after another, and a group of young people in suits and leather shoes, with a neat face and a little unruly, got out of the car quickly.
The screen switches to a high-altitude overhead shot.
The dripping rain fell from the sky and smashed on the roof of the car in the middle, and a black umbrella cut into the camera, and the person holding the umbrella tried his best to block the top of the car door, despite being half wet himself. The younger brothers who had just gotten off the car automatically formed two rows, looking very capable, and stood around the door vigilantly.
At this time, a group of follow-up shots cut in, first in a low position.
A pair of leather shoes stepped out of the Mercedes-Benz door, and the camera began to push from the bottom up, first the legs, waist, upper body, and finally a expressionless and gloomy face.
Zhang Yi raised his head slightly while buttoning his suit, half-squinted his eyes, looked at the dim sky in front of him, and then withdrew his gaze and took a firm step.
With his movements, a group of young people immediately divided into two parts, half in front of the road, half followed closely behind him, and solemnly entered the gate of the hospital in a heavy rain.
"OK, pass!"
I'll push your lungs~
This, is this still the "rotten boy" of the club? No one would question a well-trained security company, right?
A group of Hong Kong Island staff felt blinded.
After so many years of making police and gangster films, I have never seen such a community member.
The uniform suit and badge give people a feeling of being extremely capable and well-trained, and the contemptuous eyes that are inadvertently revealed make people shudder, and they can be seen at a glance - this group of people is not easy to mess with, and they must be avoided a little.
If this is accompanied by a piece of background music, the whole person will immediately ignite, and it will be an adrenaline rush.
They really didn't expect that the club members could shoot like this.
Professional, sharp, in short, very lofty.
It seems that there is no vanity under the fame, and the first set of shots arranged by Sun Yi brought them a great shock.
In fact, compared with these staff standing in the distance, the people behind the monitoring shed felt more deeply.
After all, what they saw was the overall shot, and while it hadn't been edited and added to the post-production effects, it was shocking enough.
Speaking of which, these mainland actors come into contact with police and gangster films, gangster films all start from Hong Kong films, and they think what they should look like when they act in Hong Kong films.
But now looking at Sun Yi's style, it completely subverts cognition.
Especially Zhang Songwen, in fact, he is more or less mentally prepared, after all, he has met with these group performers just now, but looking at the camera effect and Zhang Yi's performance, it is still a little beyond his imagination.
The next one is his, and he only feels his blood boiling all over his body now, and he can't wait to experience the feeling of being a "big brother" right away.
And Liu Yifei on the side was already surprised to close her mouth, and she still needed to cover it tightly with her little hand, if she hadn't reacted quickly just now, she would have to exclaim when she couldn't see the camera picture.
This, this is also too handsome.
I didn't expect Brother Yi, who usually looks so obscene, to have such a handsome side.
Of course, this Brother Yi is not Brother Biyi.
Liu Yifei couldn't help but think about it deeply.
If he had known this, he would have encouraged his brother to act, and he would still be able to play a husband and wife with him, and he would still have a baby.
It will definitely be more handsome~
It's no wonder that the fairy sister is a little nymphomaniac at this moment, like a police movie that is biased towards the gang of men, but once it is filmed, it will greatly highlight the charm of men, and no normal woman can bear it.
As for Wang Jinsong and Ding Yongdai, who starred in the police duo, after the two of them watched the camera, they invariably glanced at each other, and both of them saw a strong sense of war in each other's eyes.
Police and gangster films, what I watched was the confrontation between the police and the gangsters, and now the gangster's style is standing, and the effect is surprisingly good, as soon as they appeared, they shocked everyone, so correspondingly, the pressure was transferred to the two of them.
If the acting performance of the two of them is not good and cannot be suppressed, then the power balance of the whole film will be seriously unbalanced, and eventually affect the finished effect of the film.
As Wang Jinsong and Ding Yongdai, who have worked hard in the circle for many years, the two of them have already made up their minds that they must take out what they have learned all their lives and play their respective roles well.
"Director, let me see the camera."
Lao Li rushed into the surveillance shed, and he didn't care about taking off the raincoat on his body, so he hurriedly said to Sun Yi.
Sun Yi gave up his position with a smile, took two steps back, and stood beside Liu Yifei.
Lao Li was in charge of the scene just now, and it can be said that he saw the effect of the scene for the first time, but he was only responsible for a group of cameras and shot according to Sun Yi's requirements.
When he was shooting, he felt very energetic, and as soon as he finished shooting, he hurriedly ran back to see the overall lens effect.
After watching the picture just recorded by the monitor, Lao Li felt more and more he looked at it, and couldn't help but open his mouth and praise loudly.
"Sharp, sharp."
You must know that although Lao Li always talks about starting work and warm food on weekdays, as if he only recognizes money, it is because he does not like to be bound by others and has not joined the company, so for his own life, he can only take more films and find resources by himself.
But don't forget, his level is still very high, he was one of the photographers in charge of "Infernal Affairs", and he has the most say in the finished effect of the two films.
Hearing Lao Li's admiration, Sun Yi also smiled.
His expectations for this film are very high, so he can be regarded as showing the ability to watch the house.
At this time, he noticed that Xiao Nizi on the side suddenly swept around with a flickering of her eyes, and after finding that no one paid attention to her, she quickly lip-synced with Sun Yi, and then pursed her mouth, looking proud of herself.
Sun Yi reacted, she seemed to be right,
"Brother, you're the best!"
This was praised by his daughter-in-law, Sun Yi only felt a sour feeling in his heart, but then he thought about it again.
If this was said from Xiao Nizi's mouth at night, the effect should be better!
Although it rained temporarily on the first day of filming, it was also a complete success, and Sun Yi's temporary arrangement of this hand scene was also matched with the first commercial director in the mainland, the youngest director of the Cannes Palme d'Or, in the eyes of a group of Hong Kong Island staff.
They joined in because of Lao Li's relationship, and they worked harder, and the staff on the starry sky began to gradually run in, and the tacit understanding of the entire crew began to rise sharply, and the progress of the film began to advance rapidly.
At the same time, the leading actors also began to explode beans one by one, and their acting skills soared one by one.
Sometimes, it is obvious that Sun Yi thinks it is okay, but they themselves feel that it is not enough, so they have to pull Sun Yi to do it again, and often, they can give a more wonderful performance, which makes Sun Yi feel a little incredible.
With a tacit team, a good script, an excellent director, and an opponent with superb acting skills, these are all factors that can stimulate the motivation of actors, and Sun Yi's "New World" has them all.
For such a film, for an actor, being able to participate in it is simply a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes.
Zhang Yi said to Zhang Songwen, obviously in front of him was a good big brother who shared his life and death, but he had to betray him because of his status as an undercover police officer.
His hesitation, his insecurity, his guilt and hatred for himself. Every look, every breath, every small movement on the body is vividly displayed under Zhang Yi's violent interpretation of this detail.
And Zhang Songwen cares about Zhang Yi, a good brother who can stand in front of him as soon as possible in the face of any dangerous situation. After learning that the good brother was actually an undercover agent of the police, his disappointment, his entanglement, and the forgiveness he finally chose were all expressed heartily in Zhang Songwen's spring-like acting skills.
Wang Jinsong, facing his boss, confidently introduced his "New World Project", as if his starting point was all for the security of Hong Kong Island and the happy life of ordinary people, but as everyone knows, the gloomy gaze behind the golden frame is full of ambition to control this underworld group to serve himself.
Ding Yongdai, in the face of a careerist like Wang Jinsong, he will do everything, but as long as it is consistent with his ultimate goal, he will also use the support of the police to complete his personal ideals.
Everyone in the film is a pawn on his chessboard, and only he is the biggest mastermind behind the scenes.
These mainland leading actors simply amazed all the Hong Kong Island personnel in the crew, and they found that the strength of the original mainland actors was so explosive, compared with some veteran actors on Hong Kong Island, it was not bad at all.
The crew filmed for more than a week, as long as there was a scene between Zhang Yi and Ding Yongdai every day, she was ready to be there, carefully observed, and secretly figured out.
As long as she returns to the hotel at night, as long as Sun Yi has offline kung fu, she will inevitably find Sun Yi to play, and then analyze the script repeatedly.
Looking at Xiao Nizi's serious appearance, Sun Yi was embarrassed to do some embarrassing things, so he could only cooperate with her with all his might.
On the 8th day of the crew's start-up, it was finally Liu Yifei's turn to play, which was specially added to her by Sun Yi.
