Chapter 302: Director Xu called
"When the dagger is reversed, the blow is always used to defend, forcing the enemy to retreat and dodge, and then take the opportunity to follow up and stab, so you don't try to block his hand, but use the force to turn around, backhand to stab, like this......" Cao Ping gestured while demonstrating the action to Zhang Hanyu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Hanyu nodded and said, "One inch is short and one inch is dangerous, right?"
Cao Ping smiled: "That's right, the attack radius of different weapons is different, the dagger is such a short blade, it must be close, otherwise it will not be able to hurt people, so the shorter the attack radius, the more important the body method." ”
"I'll do it again. Zhang Hanyu took the props and daggers, and stepped forward to practice the movements with the group performance.
"Cao Ping, how about you come and see my moves?" said a flat-headed black man with a smile.
Cao Ping smiled, walked over and said, "Brother Liu, you are a professional, I won't talk nonsense, right?"
This Liu Yong was recruited by the director when he established the group, and he is also a Hong Kong martial artist, he has cooperated with Director Lin once, and he is more experienced in the design of police and bandit actions such as car chases, gunfights, and explosions.
"Hey, that's not what you said!" Liu Yong laughed and said: "I'm good at firearm blasting, and you can also give some useful advice on fists and foot weapons!"
smiled on his face, but Liu Yong was very unhappy in his heart, he was the original martial arts finger of the crew, but after Cao Ping joined the group, Director Lin seemed to like him a lot, and many action scenes were to ask Cao Ping's opinion first, and then come to ask him, and sometimes he skipped him and directly adopted Cao Ping's opinion, which made him psychologically unbalanced.
Cao Ping naturally felt Liu Yong's hostility, which is also understandable, he himself joined the group as an actor, but he interfered in the action design and robbed other people's jobs, so naturally he would not be treated by others. Therefore, during this time, Liu Yong secretly squeezed him with words, and he didn't care, he just held the idea that more things are better than less, and he didn't have the same knowledge as him.
His participation in action design is Director Lin's meaning, originally it was just to help, there is no interest relationship, since people feel that it affects their status in the crew, then don't get involved. Cao Ping simply found Director Lin in private and said goodbye, and pushed all the action design work, leaving only Zhang Hanyu related actions, he helped design it, and the rest of the action scenes were handed back to Liu Yong.
However, this Liu Yong seems to feel that he is taking advantage of it, and he is getting more and more inches, not only talking yin and yang, but also beginning to show off in front of him openly and secretly, and now he has to pull himself to watch the actions he designed, which is a bit boring, what? Show off? Want to prove that you are better than me?
In that case, if you let me see, I'll take a look!" Cao Ping smiled and followed him over.
"Come on, come on, show Brother Ping what you did just now, what's the ink? Lazy and lazy, not like a man. Liu Yong beckoned a few supporting actors and group performers to come over and practice their movements, while Cao Ping stood aside, looking at him with a smile and not speaking.
"Work harder! Make big moves! Don't you eat! Work hard!" In the cheers of Team Liu, the supporting actors and group actors rehearsed according to the action routine, he crossed his arms and looked at Cao Ping with a smile, and asked, "How about it?"
"It's good......" Cao Ping said casually, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Liu Yong.
"Hey, don't be in a hurry to leave?" Team Liu said ostentatiously: "Give me some opinions! I have designed the movements according to the regular police's grappling techniques, and they are all real tricks! How about it? It looks like the effect is not bad, right?"
Cao Ping stopped, turned around, and said with a smile: "Then I'll give some opinions, your set of actions is good in actual combat, but it definitely doesn't look good when filmed." ”
Liu Yong sneered and said, "Isn't it good-looking? Cao Ping! You are not a professional, and you don't know the doorway here." Action design, but also respect the facts, this set of actions, is a grappling routine I learned from the armed police, the police are also using, is used in actual combat tricks. Think about it, when the time comes, the movie will be filmed and sent for review, and the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security will see that the film is all captured by the police, and as soon as the leaders are happy, won't they have reviewed it?
Cao Ping smiled slightly and said, "That's right, being responsible for the work is the responsibility of every member of the crew." However, our job is not just to pass the review, but to make a good work. Besides, this film is filmed for the national audience, to show a positive and positive image of the police, you are digging out your crotch and poking your eyes, can you pass the trial and say it?"
Liu Yong sneered and said, "Young! The most effective means of attack are always these tricks, besides, as long as the angle is shot well, the picture will naturally look good." ”
Liu Yong's words were right, Cao Ping was noncommittal, nodded and said: "That's right, the shooting technique is also very important, but if you follow your design idea, you must add a lot of close-ups, and then cut them together through rapid editing to create that sense of tension and danger." But do you mean to get the director to work with you?"
Liu Yong's face was not very good, and he also realized the problem, but, according to Cao Ping, this almost fundamentally refuted his overall work, doesn't it mean that either he changed the action design plan, or he asked the crew to cooperate and use the post-production to meet the visual effects?
Liu Yong sneered and said, "Then do you mean that they must all be overturned and restarted?"
Cao Ping smiled: "You don't need to, just adjust your position." ”
"Cao Ping, speak realistically, as soon as you come up, you completely deny my design, and then say that you can just adjust your position, are you playing tricks on me?" Liu Yong lowered his face and said angrily.
"I can't do it. Cao Ping felt a little funny, it was a waste of time to compete with such a person, he waved his hand and said: "This question is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is the basic knowledge of lens language, which film and television school will teach, or you can go back and find a book to read." With that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Don't go!" Liu Yong's face turned red, Cao Ping's words were clearly refuting what he said about Cao Ping's unprofessionalism before, he pulled Cao Ping and said, "You tell me clearly, what's the problem!"
Cao Ping didn't bother to pay attention to him, raised his hand and shouted: "Xiao Zheng, come here, you explain to him what it means to follow the camera." ”
Xiao Zheng is a cameraman in the crew, and his relationship with Cao Ping is okay on weekdays, so when he heard him ask, he came over and explained to Liu Yong with a smile: "With the lens is a lens language, that is, the camera always follows the movement of the moving subject and shoots." This shooting method can continuously show the subject in motion, it can not only highlight the subject, but also explain the subject's movement direction, speed, posture and its relationship with the environment, and can form a kind of moving theme unchanged, static background numbering modeling effect, can lead to the environment through the figure ......"
Liu Yong had a headache when he heard this, waved his hand to interrupt him, and said, "Don't tell me that these are useless, this is your camera business, what does it have to do with my action director?"
"Of course it does. Cao Ping smiled: "Then I'll tell you what you can understand, no matter what movie it is, it is a picture in the final analysis, as long as it is a picture, then there must be a protagonist to attract the attention of the viewer, it can be a grass, or a sheep, in general movies, we usually set the protagonist as a person."
"In actual combat, we pay attention to preemptive strikes and knock down as many enemies as quickly as possible, which requires our bodies to move at high speeds. However, the camera in this state is not easy to grasp, and forcibly following someone to grab the picture will only cause the lens to shake violently and the picture to be blurred, so the shot will not be used. All we have to do is to identify a protagonist first, and then let the scenes and props change to tell the story. To put it bluntly, it is to let the supporting characters or tricks enter from outside the camera and fight with the protagonist, so that a picture will continue to be enriched, but the lens will not be messy, and the picture will be better. ”
Liu Yong suddenly realized and said, "Aren't you talking about one after another?
Cao Ping spread his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, it's old-fashioned, but it's useful, speaking of which, this lens language was created by you Hong Kong filmmakers, why don't you use it?"
"I ......" Liu Yong was speechless for a while.
Cao Ping shook his head, not wanting to talk nonsense with him anymore, and said, "You are busy! I still have something to do, so I will go over first." And he went to rest.
Sighing, sitting on the chair, Cao Ping closed his eyes and recuperated. The weather in Thailand is already sweltering, and he has to be angry with people, which makes him feel a little irritable.
Wu Feng walked over, squatted down and said, "Brother, there was a missed call just now, it was Director Xu who called, can you give him a reply?"
"Which Director Xu?" Cao Ping opened his eyes, took the phone and looked at it, but it was Director Xu Haofeng calling.
Dialing the phone, Cao Ping asked with a smile: "Director Xu, are you looking for me?"
"Long time no see. Xu Haofeng's voice was still elegant, and he said with a smile: "Where are you busy now?"
Cao Ping said with a smile: "I took over a play, in Thailand!"
"Oh!" Xu Haofeng asked, "Did you see the list that came out yesterday?"
"List?" Cao Ping asked suspiciously, "What list?"
Xu Haofeng said: "The shortlist of this year's Golden Horse Awards! Don't you see it? You have two shortlists!"
"Huh?" Cao Ping sat up straight and asked in surprise, "Two or what awards?"
Xu Haofeng said with a smile: "One Best New Actor, one Action Design!" There are a total of four nominations for "Master", and two of them are yours. ”
