"What's wrong? Donde? John looked up and left the monitor, his face confused.

Everyone was doing well according to the previous drill, but they didn't expect to be suddenly stopped by Tang De, which was a little strange.

"Turn the camera up, yes, that's it, do it again!" Don asked Dieng to readjust the camera.

"Okay." Dieng shrugged.

Tang De himself is responsible for the difficult panning camera, and the shot assigned to Dion is a follow-up camera, following the actor forward. This shot is very basic and very important, it is one of the bones that connect the whole scene, if this shot is not filmed well, the whole stage picture may not be able to be silky and connected.

But just now he found that Dion's camera angle was off from the set angle, which is why he suddenly stopped.

But this is only the beginning, every time the dance is a third of the way through, Tang De will find that Dieng has modified the camera route he has planned, although his movements are very subtle, but this cannot escape Tang De's eyes.

"Cards! Dieng, your lens ......"

"Cards! Dieng! Something went wrong! ”

Donde, who had stopped three times, could no longer stand the main photographer and came directly to him.

"What are you doing?" Dieng stared at Donde's expressionless face, expressing doubt.

"You ask me? Why don't you ask yourself? ”

"Don, so you're accusing me?" Dieng was silent for a moment, and suddenly his voice was amplified for everyone present to hear.

"Have I offended you?" Dieng unfolded his hand.

Tang De didn't answer his evasive words, but said, "So do you think this kind of shooting is right?" ”

"What's wrong? Don, isn't this what you arranged? Not to be outdone, Dieng said: "I shot exactly according to the angle given in the sub-lens, three times, and I haven't changed!" It's all you guys who stop shooting! card, card, card, honestly, I don't understand why you should stop shooting. ”

"Because, something is wrong with your lens!"

"Something is wrong with me, Don! High or low? John didn't find any problems in front of the monitor, whose problem was it! ”

The crowd and John nodded silently, indicating that they really didn't find any problems.

Could it be that the position of director made Tang De too nervous, so he made a mistake?

Donde's eyes narrowed, and he felt a deeper hostility in Dion's attitude.

"Do you think I'm wrong?" He asked repeatedly.

"Of course! Tang Dynasty! I'm shooting from the angle you set! No questions asked! ”

Dieng walked up to John again, pointed to his electronic monitor, and said, "I don't believe we can watch the replay!" ”

The angle of view seen by an electronic monitor is the same as that of a film camera, although there is a large difference in color rendering.

The reason why many directors have always been fond of film photography is because the colors of film are far more natural and beautiful than digital transitions.

Since Donde thinks that Dieng's angle is problematic, watching the playback of the electronic monitor is also a way to prove it.

The crowd nodded silently and gathered in front of the electronic monitors.

"Come on, John, turn on the replay." Dieng was now right, as if he really wasn't at fault.

When John heard the replay, everyone watched it and found no problems.

Neither the angle nor the composition found anything wrong, as if Tang De really said something wrong.

In an instant, the people around them focused all their eyes on Tang De, and with Dion's innocent expression, the invisible pressure in the air doubled.

The next second, Zeta Jones opened her mouth to change the subject: "Maybe there was a problem when we danced, come, teacher, let's correct the dance posture again and continue shooting, Don." ”

Colleen also nodded and said to the crew: "The sun is about to set, we still have a lot to shoot in this scene, let's continue." ”

John patted Don on the shoulder and motioned for him to redirect the shoot.

Dion snorted coldly in his heart, he didn't expect so many people to speak for Tang De, which made his original idea come to naught.

But seeing that the matter was about to pass, for some reason, Tang De smiled slightly and walked in front of Dieng again.

He looked down at Dieng deeply, then turned to Kidd, the film processor on the scene, and said, "Please take a look at the finished film, Mr. Trouble, Teacher, to develop the film out of Dieng's camera." ”

"Wash the tablets now?" Everyone was shocked.

Because of the particularity of film photography, the crew brought a simple darkroom and several developers at any time, which was to wash and preserve the film as soon as possible to avoid light leakage after being stored for too long.

But even if it is a development, it will be after the end of each day's shooting, and if Tang De asks for a development now, it means that they will waste a long time on it, and the progress of the shooting will come to a standstill again.

Therefore, everyone was a little hesitant about Tang De's decision.

But the biggest one in the crew at the moment is Tang De, the assistant director, Rob is in the hospital, and Bert has also gone to the hospital, even if he calls him now, he can't come back.

"What the hell are you going to do! Don, we were meant to catch up! Dion seized the opportunity and said, "Do you have to prove me wrong for the sake of face?" Then I'll admit it now, Don, I was wrong! It's me who didn't follow the route, is it okay? ”

Others also discouraged them: "Don, we can shoot again, we don't need to send the film for development, so wouldn't it be nice for you and Dion to change positions?" ”

"Yes, that's right, it's just a change of seat."

"Dieng, you're in charge of the camera above."

"Girls, let's get back in our seats."

"Don, let's try it all over again, and there are still a lot of shots that need to be reshot."

In the noisy voices, Dion couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't expect Tang De to really want to develop the film, which was not what he expected.

Fortunately, there are other people who persuade you......

However, as soon as he put his heart down, a roar of rage lifted his heart again.

"Give me all peace!" It was Tang De, his expression was serious, like a mighty lion.

Everyone was so frightened that they immediately fell silent, not knowing why Tang De suddenly became angry.

"Kidd, go and get the film out, I'll see it in half an hour." After Tang De shocked the scene, he directly arranged a flush, and then looked at Dion and said, "FXXXK!" Dieng, do you think I don't know what the hell you've done? ”

"What do you mean? What the are you talking about? Dieng also confronted each other angrily.

"You turned the camera down, of course you can't see it on the electronic monitor, but when the film is cut, you can see that the shadow on Zeta-Jones' face is wrong! Do you think this little trick can hide from me? ”

In photography, there are two most important factors that affect the picture, one is the light, and the other is the angle.

Needless to say, the photographic angle may seem simple, but it actually affects the line of a person's face.

For example, a girl will be fatter if she shoots up, she will be thinner if she shoots from above, and she will expose defects in the bridge of her nose if she shoots from the side.

Although Zeta Jones's facial features are superior and she doesn't have to worry about exposing her flaws, her hairstyle in the movie is short like a watermelon cover, and the biggest problem with this hairstyle is that the shadow is heavy.

So Dieng used a very covert approach during the filming of the film.

The lights on the stage are all spotlights, and from the top of the head down, the shadows on the actors' faces are heavy.

Even though there are a lot of light sources on the front, in order to create a dark environment, we still have to make a trade-off, so that the faces of the characters always stay at the junction of light and shadow.

In addition, in order to show the group dance, the camera is always shooting upward, so the overall environment is more dark and oppressive, and it also has a consequence.

That is, as soon as the camera angle changes slightly, the shadow created by Zeta-Jones's bangs will envelop her eyes, connecting them.

Thinking about that kind of shot, the actor's eyes and hair are shrouded in heavy shadows, such a picture is definitely impossible for Rob to agree with, and it will inevitably be reshot.

Whose responsibility is it then?

Could it be Dion's? He can completely excuse himself from the fact that he shot according to the lens prescribed by Tang De.

If Tang De doesn't say it, then he will suffer this loss.

As for the electronic monitor, it can only be said that the color of the electronic monitor screen in this era is also very limited, and it is impossible to simulate the effect after the film, and the gray can only watch the lens scheduling.

Therefore, of course, Dieng's trick will not be exposed, even if Director Rob is on the scene, there is no way to determine it with the naked eye, and he can only judge it by seeing the effect of the film being washed.

This is also one of the reasons why film photography is so expensive, with a large amount of money being paid for each reshoot.

And after hearing that Tang De had debunked his own methods, the anger on Dieng's face became more and more obvious, like a bull: "Fxxkyou!" You're slandering! I haven't done anything like this! ”

"yes, that's not up to you! I'm going to show everyone what shit you shot today. ”

Don didn't say anything more to him, just sat back in his chair and waited for the film to be developed.

If it were someone else, he might not be able to stick to his point of view in the face of Dieng's rhetoric and the suspicious gaze around him, and he would probably choose to reshoot.

But the consequence of this is that the prestige of the director is damaged, and maybe anything else will be questioned later.

But Tang De is not an ordinary person, he never refuses to admit defeat, and he will not waver in his decision.

After hearing Tang De's words, everyone on the side also hesitated, after all, Tang De has been a good person since the start of filming, and his help to the crew is obvious to all. Even if he doesn't have a film director's background, since he said that the problem of photography, maybe there is something wrong.

So everyone had to scatter, the dance teacher continued to train the actors' dance postures, and the gaffer restored all the lights, except for Donde, John, and Zeta-Jones sitting together.

Dieng, on the other hand, went outside the door to smoke.

"Don, are you really sure?" John was also a little helpless when he saw that things had come to this point.

"Of course." Donde turned his head to look at the darkroom, and then heard Zeta Jones speak, "Do you have any other problems with my acting skills?" ”

She now likes to ask Tang De about her acting skills, because Tang De's eyes are very poisonous and she can tell the mistakes or shortcomings of her performance with a sharp point.

"I think you can add some anger." Don De recalled the dance just now: "Because you are in prison, this is a cage, and you are trapped beasts. You never feel like you're doing anything wrong, and that's your biggest source of anger. ”

"Yay......" Zeta-Jones nodded and laughed again: "Don, if you become a teacher, you will definitely teach a lot of good students." ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

Several people chatted, and soon half an hour later, the door to the darkroom opened.
