Chapter 201: Control of the Picture
"This feeling is addictive!" Liao Fan raised his head and muttered. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cao Ping also sat beside him, crossed his legs and said, "My grandfather once said to me, life and death, in an instant, good and evil, in a thought. Kung Fu is a weapon of a warrior who uses it to protect what he wants to protect, but if he doesn't know how to use it, it will become a tool to destroy himself. ”
Liao Fan, whose breathing gradually calmed down, said a little worriedly: "This kind of emotion is still a bit dangerous, if you learn kung fu, will there be times when your emotions are out of control?"
Cao Ping thought about it and said with a smile: "There will be too! I often lose control of my emotions, but in fact, this is not good, I haven't repaired it to my home." The real inheritance of kung fu is called martial arts, and the difference between martial arts and kung fu is that it is not a tool for killing, but a science. And if you want to learn real martial arts, you need ten years to get started, ten years to learn art, and ten years to cultivate virtue, and I am still far away!"
Liao Fan smiled, got up and patted his buttocks and said, "I also said that I would learn some boxing and kicking from you, and it will take me thirty years? ”
Cao Ping got up with a smile and said: "Actually, if you don't pursue aggression, I can teach you a set of breathing methods, not to mention anything else, regulate qi and blood, improve sleep, it's still good, regular practice is helpful to the spirit and spirit." ”
"Really? That's good. Liao Fan smiled casually: "It's late, go back and rest! ”
"It's okay......" Cao Ping said casually, he didn't care, in today's society, people are busy making money, and few people are willing to learn kung fu. With a toe of his toe, he picked up the glaive knife, held it in his hand, and went out with Liao Fan to turn off the lights and go back to the hotel.
For an actor who has never fought for his life, you have to let him know what it feels like to fight for his life before he can perform that kind of atmosphere, but Liao Fan's skills in acting are not just staying at the level of a master of the rivers and lakes. Knowing the intensity of the fight between kung fu masters, he grasped that degree very well, and the moves in his hands were decisive and decisive, but the overall feeling was not that he was a kung fu boxer, but a good presentation of Chen Shi's grandmaster temperament who was born in a big family and shouldered the weight of any faction.
I don't understand why I didn't see him all night, Liao Fan was like opening up the second pulse of Ren Du, Xu Haofeng asked Liao Fan a special question, and then he knew about last night's special training. Compared with Liao Fan's sudden awakening of the performance state, Xu Haofeng was even more surprised that Cao Ping was able to "wake up" Liao Fan. Liao Fan is an actor after all, as long as he is willing to take the time to grind slowly, he will always get it back, but Cao Ping is not ordinary this time, and it is not something that a mere martial artist can do, this has risen to the level of overall control. I didn't see it, this kid is also a little talented in directing! Seeing that Hunting was happy, Xu Haofeng began to often call Cao Ping over during the filming process intentionally or unintentionally to ask him for his opinion, and sometimes, he could really think of some whimsical ideas, which surprised Xu Haofeng.
There are a lot of action scenes here in the Guangdong Guild Hall, and they have been filming for more than ten days in a row, but they only filmed Chen Shi showing Zheng Shanao the Wing Chun Eight Chopping Knife, Zheng Shanao practicing martial arts for the apprentice Chen Shi found, Zheng Shanao apprenticed to Chen Shi to learn the knife skills to deal with Geng Liangchen, and the scene where the two fought each other. As for the large-scale scenes in the theater, there is no way to shoot them yet, because Teacher Jiang Wenli has not been able to enter the group because of the schedule, so everyone began to move to the street again, and Cao Ping also officially began to prepare for his own scene shooting.
On the platform on the side of the road, which was the open-air dressing room, Cao Ping changed into a yellowed linen short coat, a pair of black pants, and sat up straight to let the dressing room cast a shadow on his face.
"Look at my braids! It's been braided for more than an hour, it's beautiful, isn't it?" Reba shook his little braids and showed off to Cao Ping.
"It's good-looking...... Cao Ping said perfunctorily, "Isn't it going to be cut off in a while?"
"Hey!" Reba slapped him angrily and said, "You really have no conscience, I'm saving you!"
"Okay, okay, then I thank you......" Cao Ping smiled and teased her, Reba nodded with satisfaction, and said: "That's right! I'm your savior, how are you going to repay me?"
Cao Ping looked at her amusedly, and asked casually, "How do you want me to repay you?"
Reba couldn't wait to come over and asked, "Teacher Jin said that your cooking is delicious, is it true? What will you do delicious?"
"Do you believe that I can make roasted whole sheep?" Cao Ping said with a smile.
"Cut!" Reba said with a look of disbelief, but after a moment he asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Cao Ping shook his head and smiled, Reba was reluctant: "It's really fake!"
"Really, do you want to eat?" Cao Ping couldn't help but smile and said seriously, he had seen the Mongolian uncle's method of roasting whole sheep in the two days of the final battle in Inner Mongolia, and he still knew some principles.
"Yes, yes, I haven't eaten roasted whole sheep for a long time! Where are you going to roast it? Then you have to use a big naan pit! Is there one in Tianjin? Actually, you can use the oil dripping from the iron plate underneath to roast some sweet potato chips! Potato chips! It's very delicious, I prefer to eat sweet potatoes, you can bake more sweet potatoes, yes, potato chips, or forget it, or bake it out for the director to eat......" Cao Ping looked at her with a shocked face, and ...... Did you start thinking about it like that? I'm really worried that your personality will collapse!
Fortunately, Cao Ping's makeup is relatively simple, just need to deepen the skin tone and deepen the eyebrows and eyes, so as to avoid Reba's bombardment.
From the moment the director arrived, he began to adjust the camera position and lighting angle with the gaffer, and a group of people holding foam lighting panels would run here and there for a while, looking for the best lighting angle.
Lighting is definitely a big problem in filmmaking, and by changing the lighting conditions, you can turn an attractive expression into a disgusting one. In indoor and outdoor shooting scenes, how to adjust the light intensity, light direction, and adjust the natural light or artificial light to the state required by the plot is absolutely impossible for a layman to operate, and it can even be said that a good lighting engineer can even affect the acting skills of an excellent actor.
After the scene was arranged, the group performance was basically finished with makeup, and Xu Haofeng shouted with a loudspeaker: "Let's shoot a close-up first!
The close-up is a shot of Geng Liangchen pushing a cart to the street to set up a stall and park. After shouting to start, Cao Ping pushed an old wooden trolley forward, a photographer squatted in front of him with a machine to shoot close-ups, pushed the car in front of the machine, Cao Ping put it down, and the first shot was over.
The second close-up shot is the signature banner of Geng Liangchen's booksstand, and after the close-up shot, the actor shots are taken.
The next shot is the shot of Di Lieba waving for tea when he set up a tea stall to greet guests, and found Cao Ping waving for tea, the camera was set up, the group performance was in place, and Reba was also holding a rag in front of the table and ready.
Xu Haofeng called Cao Ping to him again and said, "Look at the following shot, what can you see?"
There have been several times like this, Cao Ping didn't care, leaned over and pressed his knees, he looked at the monitor beside Director Xu, waiting for the camera to be taken.
The on-site director has already shouted action, after playing the board, an arranged group performance walked in front of the camera, Reba began to wipe the table, I have to say, serious acting, this girl is still quite spiritual, her role has no lines in this scene, but just body language and micro-expressions are enough to support a full image, which is still commendable among actors of her age.
After wiping the table a few times, Reba inadvertently raised his head, looked at the lens of his glasses, and was about to look down, but as if he saw something, he raised his head and looked at it again, straightened up, stretched out a finger and raised it above his head, raised his eyebrows suspiciously, as if asking something, and nodded clearly in an instant.
"Click! it's over!" Director Xu shouted, turned around and asked Cao Ping, "See what?"
Cao Ping looked at the screen again in confusion, could it be Reba's acting skills? Impossible? Although the acting was good, it didn't say that it was necessary to take it out separately and ask about it? What did Director Xu mean by asking? Cao Ping didn't answer easily, and said, "Let's play it back again!"
Xu Haofeng didn't speak, he played it back again, it was just a short three or four second shot, and it was over soon, he looked at Cao Ping who was frowning and thinking with interest, and smiled without saying a word.
Could it be the set? Cao Ping frowned and looked at the picture on the monitor, except for the table and signboard, the buildings behind were all old houses, and there was nothing strange about it? It is even more impossible, during the filming of the movie, it is rare to use a radio microphone to collect natural sounds, unless there is a special need, otherwise they will choose post-dubbing, especially this kind of costume film filmed in the city, not to mention the noisy live noise, just the sound of a car horn from outside is enough to destroy a hard-earned shot, there was no radio microphone when I was shooting just now, it should not be a problem in this regard.
"Let's play it again!" Cao Ping said again, his face almost reaching the screen. Although filming was suspended, Xu Haofeng was not in a hurry and played him again.
"Huh?" In this time, Cao Ping suddenly seemed to notice something, but he was not sure, so he said anxiously: "Put it again." Xu Haofeng pressed back again, and this time, Cao Ping blurted out in surprise: "That group performance ......"
As if he didn't expect Cao Ping to notice this detail that most people would ignore in just four playbacks, Xu Haofeng was very surprised and a little surprised. Cao Ping had already gone up to operate it by himself and played it back again, and this time, he finally decided on it.
The picture in the monitor, the focus of the camera is kept in the position of the tea stall, after playing the board, an arranged group performance walks in front of the camera, the group performance can't see the face clearly, but it is the flash of this person, but the original slightly empty picture is replenished, one person, it brings a feeling of endless flow of people on the road to the picture, this is the director's control of the movie picture.
Cao Ping, who was patted on the shoulder, and was still amazed by this exquisite arrangement, turned around, but saw Xu Haofeng with a complicated expression and said to him: "Cao Ping, if you have time, go to Beiying to learn a director!"
