I really can't act

Chapter 527 Everything is Lao Mei's Fault
In early October, the National Day holiday just passed.The cold current in Siberia seems to have flowed out a little, crossed the Mongolian plateau, and arrived at the small Kuandian studio on the bank of the Yalu River.

Assistant director Guo Fan frequently checked the weather forecast on his mobile phone, which was accurate to 15 minutes.It shows that the temperature will be between minus one and minus three degrees from nine to ten in the evening, which is a cold day.

But that wasn't the case on the set at the moment, as it was scorchingly hot for a scene involving fire.The air was pulled and deformed by the flames, and the edges curled up.Guo Fan wiped off his sweat, Fang Yi in the monitor was running:
He stumbled, holding a gun, looking around in the mud, looking very vigilant.Fang Yi was the only one in the picture, and there was a dilapidated house.Several cameras were facing him at the same time.

Fang Yi watched while running, and the camera moved in sync with him.When he was about to walk to the edge of this set, suddenly a flare was sent from the sky, and the entire field of vision was brightened in an instant, and the camera also turned with Fang Yi's "going", and what came into view was the ruined wall.

It turned out that it wasn't just one or two private houses, but a whole big village that was destroyed and everyone disappeared.

Fang Yi was shocked and stood still, but his shadow was stretched very long by the flare and distorted. The shadow fell in the village, moving rapidly from window to window, like a ghost, until he disappeared into the flames.

What does this shadow mean?

It is to increase the sense of substitution for the audience. It seems that the "No.1" perspective has seen the end from one end to the other end. Let the audience quickly confirm that there is indeed no one. The village was destroyed by the old American aircraft and cannon .

Or Fang Yi, the protagonist, was very anxious. Although he stood still, his gaze swept across the entire village, leaving nothing behind.

What happened to the people in the village?Either died or fled.It's up to you to go, anyway, it's Lao Mei's job.

The picture freezes on Fang Yi's face, and the flame dances on his face.The surging thoughts in his chest are expressed through this flame.

——"cut!"

After waiting for a while, Fang Yi raised his hand by himself, "Let me look at the scene just now." His voice was a little hoarse, because Fang Yi was deeply involved in the scene.Guo Fan immediately served him salt water. Fang Yi took two sips and took a few deep breaths before sitting in front of the monitor.

Looked at the shot just now.

Not very good.Fang Yi's face turned bitter.

It's over!After preparing for so long, it didn't work.

There are two difficulties in this passage, one is that the flares flew up, and the shadows below had to follow the direction, that is to say, the route planning and props placement of the whole set had a bit of geometric knowledge; The light of the fire should be very bright, it is best to illuminate his pupils so that golden red oozes out.

It turned out that neither did.

Especially the latter, not bright enough.On the giant screen of a movie theater, this is a big flaw.

Actor Zhang Yi explained the difference between movies and TV dramas in terms of performance, which is the difference in scale.For example, on the small screen of a TV series, you have to cry and shake your muscles to show that you are shocked. On the super big screen in the movie theater, as long as you lift your eyelids, the audience will realize that you are shocked.

Therefore, if Fang Yi's face is not bright enough without any body movements and lines, the audience will not even be able to "raise their eyelids", and they may not know what he is performing.

"Do you want to reshoot?"

Guo Fan muttered, he estimated the cost, and grinned: "Let's solve it in other ways. The current situation is that it may not be solved by doing it all over again."

Fang Yi agrees with Guo Fan's words. If he wants to smash this shot, he must make it.

Regarding how to shoot, the creative team had a plan before shooting, but the actual shooting may not have the effect as imagined, which is hard work.Fortunately, I'm using a digital camera now, so I'll know right away if it works.

Ten years ago, when digital cameras were not very common, not only did we not know whether it was successful, but we also didn't know whether it failed or not.

A film machine was used at the time.The special feature of that thing is that the director doesn't know what the picture will look like after shooting. He has to put the film in the freezer and airlift it to a big city where the film can be processed.

At least a week or two apart.

So the status of the photographer at that time was much higher than it is now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the second director.Because good or bad depends entirely on the experience of the photographer, he judges whether this section can be done.

The current situation is that it cannot be done.

Guo Fan said: "This shot is too difficult. If it was made 30 or [-] years ago, it would be almost impossible to shoot! Unless the director is someone like the King of Sunglasses, he will exhaustively do it over and over again, regardless of the cost, until it is shot."

He also said: "However, this also just proves how powerful we are. Why? Because the technology has just developed to the point where it is possible, we try to shoot such a passage, which is very groundbreaking. This shows that our approach Director, has become a world-class leading director."

Fang Yi: "I let you say all the good things, but you can't make a movie if you just say good things."

Guo Fan knew that he was not reconciled, so he insisted on gnawing at this passage, so he immediately changed his tone: "We can't shoot now, but we can always do it, at most two weeks, three weeks... Yushan opens mountains and encounters rivers and rivers , can't you figure it out?"

The Kuandian studio not only has this one set, in fact, there are three locations in the outskirts of Kuandian County as shooting locations.As a result, the U.S. military on this side fired a shot along the river, and the soldiers of the Seventh Company on the other side rushed out from the side of the road three kilometers away, fiercely "confronting guns" with the U.S. military.This is all to save costs, anyway, it won't be obvious when the editing is done together.

What Guo Fan said makes sense, but at worst, he will continue to die.Does not affect other shooting.

In the next two days, Fang Yi thought hard all night, and called people from the special effects team and the art team during the day to discuss how to change the shooting equipment so that the goal could be achieved without affecting the picture effect.

In human terms, it is how to make the fire bigger and brighter.

There are two conclusions. One is to use special effects to add brightness to Wu Qianli's face in post-production—this conclusion was discarded.Because what is needed here is not just a rough increase in brightness, but the brightness under the fire, that is, the special effects must simulate the fire, which requires the use of particle effects.

Base has never done this before, so I don't know if it will work.They are now full of schedules, working overtime, and have no spare time to try and make mistakes.

The other is to physically increase the amount of fire, such as setting fire to a large forest—maybe Chen Kaige and Zhang Dabeard can do it, but Fang Yi can't.

He dubbed the documentary "We were Born in China" the year before last, and later became the mainland's environmental protection ambassador. He must not engage in such a thing.

I'm stuck here.

For two full days, the soldier Wu Qianli charged along this road several times with a domestic wave sand in his hand. After running out of the screen, he switched back to the director Fang Yi to judge the scene just now.

Every shot is not as good as expected.The weather is getting colder and colder, and there is not much time left for him.

He also felt the sufferings of the soldiers back then, and the heavens should not, and the earth is not working.In this small place, he was trapped in a daze.

Fortunately, Fang Yi lived in 2012 after all, so he quickly got help from the organization.

　This paragraph can refer to the long shot in 1917.It may be the best long shot of a war film since the new century.
