Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 285

"Crack!"

"It feels right, but McConaughey, I need you to keep amplifying it."

"Crack!"

"You're in the wrong position! McConaughey, I think you need to rest for a while and readjust your mindset. You're a little anxious."

"No, I want to protect one!"

"Good job, McConaughey. You can do better, right? I believe you can! Come on, let's try again!"

There is also a difference between "click" and "click".

Just like the Hongmen Banquet scene in Let the Bullets Fly, everyone made adjustments through trial and error, and everyone was striving to film the best possible state.

A good actor can always figure out the feeling through experience based on the director's relatively vague opinions, and then make adjustments repeatedly in the right direction.

Zhen Jiecheng could clearly feel that the camera was getting closer and closer to the picture he wanted, so instead of feeling annoyed, he felt a sense of pleasant participation.

It was completely different from the ignorant and wise look he showed to Liu Yifei, Zhou Jielun and others.

As for whether McConaughey is happy or not, he is definitely happy! Look at the perfect smile on his face!
Even with such a "click", he can squeeze out a brilliance, which shows how happy he is inside.

This situation made Zhen Jiecheng think of Liang Jiahui.

At that time, when Jiahui encountered repeated "clicks", he cursed "Damn Wang Jiawei" after each "click", and then adjusted himself to a hearty smile and full enthusiasm to devote himself to the next "click".

"Fake!"

The filming of the cabin scene was finally finished, and McConaughey returned to the hotel and slumped in his chair.

"Fuck roast duck, Fuck pot dumplings, Fuck Hathaway, do you have any more dough? I want another portion, and I want sweet noodle sauce too."

"Here, I'll give you my portion." Hathaway swallowed and pushed it over with difficulty. "It just so happens that I need to maintain my figure and can't eat too much."

"Thank you!" McConaughey tore off a piece of dough and spread it on his palm. He forked the meat, dipped it in the sauce, added cucumber and green onion shreds, wrapped it up and put it in his mouth. "I need these delicacies to comfort me, otherwise I can't guarantee that I won't say 'fuck' on the spot next time."

"You can fucking do that!" Hathaway couldn't help laughing, "Just keep your voice down."

"No, I can't."

"why?"

"Because... he's right!" McConaughey scratched his head in distress. "Although Zhen is very demanding, he is very patient. Although Zhen tortures you over and over again, he always tells you in detail which direction to adjust before torturing you."

"Zhen will throw a lot of professional terms at you, and then use vivid metaphors to describe it in a simple and easy-to-understand way."

"Zhen would pick up a piece of paper and start drawing, and would even use comics to guide you and help you adjust your mindset."

"Although I was 'clicked' time and time again, I always got his thumbs up and a sincere 'good job, McConaughey' the first time."

At this point, McConaughey chewed the dough and duck meat with gritted teeth.

"How can this be possible?"

"A correct, humorous, enthusiastic, patient, talented gentleman!"

"Can you fak?"

Hathaway: (ω)
"Luckily, the scenes at this location have finally been filmed, and I can relax for a few days."

"Unfortunately, it's going to continue!"

McConaughey picked up another piece of dough, and this time he not only wrapped the roast duck, but also the sweet and sour pork.

“I noticed that Zhen, Peter Pau and Mark Lee were discussing the subsequent long-lens shooting plan in space. The camera movement is more complicated and the lighting effect is more difficult.”

"Cao is scratching his head and Ji is sighing."

"Zhen's student, Guo, is on the phone. I asked out of curiosity, and he was calling the technical team. Do you know which technical team it is? The one responsible for the Beijing Olympics!"

"The LED screen that Zhen wants to make is made up of thousands of tiny LED screens that emit different colors of light through computer programs. Then it processes the light."

“We use optical principles to simulate weightlessness, eliminating traditional mechanical methods such as steel cables, green screens, and underwater photography.”

"The subsequent relative motion is also different!"

"Hathaway, do you know what this means?" McConaughey couldn't hold it in any longer. "Fuck! This means that we have to get familiar with the new model as 'newcomers' on top of the current difficulty, and the previous experience will be invalidated."

"I hope Zhen's chef team can make more delicious food for me, otherwise, alas, there is no other way."

Hathaway: ╮(╯﹏╰）╭

"What's wrong, Hathaway? Why are you looking down? Why aren't you talking?"

"I..." Hathaway raised her head and forced a stiff expression, "McConaughey, my role will become more difficult from now on."

Returning to Beijing again, the release of "Those Years" is nearing its end.

Jing Tian, ​​who had “read but not replied” for more than half a month, could not wait to hold a press conference to celebrate the box office achievement of “Those Years” surpassing the two “Jinling! Jinling!”s.

According to the current box office trend, the number can reach 2.5 after the film is released, which is one Kun and one Lu Chuan.

Guo Fan also went there, saying that he wanted to witness the glory of his junior sister in person.

Zhen Jiecheng was lying on a chair in the studio, watching videos on his laptop and reading reports in the print media. He suddenly felt bored when he saw his dear Senior Brother Lu being provoked to the point of desperation once again.

Oh, so boring!
We haven't seen each other for just a few months, why are you so upset?
How could he still be the colonel who was beaten to death by me and Jiang Wen? Now even Tiantian can be beaten.

But it's pretty good.

It's waste utilization!
Zhen Jiecheng had made up his mind to use Lu Chuan as a stepping stone for his students. If he wanted to become a direct descendant of the inner sect, he had to use his works to test Lu Chuan first.

Only after leaving your mark can you officially become a glorious member of the "Tamarist Cult".

"Jiecheng, the large light box made of LED screen has been accepted!"

"The actors can judge their movements based on the brightness and color changes of the light. At the same time, the LED screen can also adjust according to the actors' flipping, falling and other movements, accurately simulating the positions where light sources such as sunlight and reflected light from the earth should appear."

When lit normally, one side of the actor's face is dark and the other side is bright.

But the light box is different. It simulates the reflected light from the planets inside to create patterns of virtual scenes, fully matching the actor's subjective perspective.

It is a perfect match with the virtual camera created by Cameron's team.

"What about relative motion?" Zhen Jiecheng asked with a smile on his face, "How is the robotic arm?"

In traditional filming, actors need to restore the realism of weightlessness in space during the flipping process.

Therefore, the flip cannot be turned completely, and the maximum tilt can only reach 45 degrees. Once it exceeds this, the traces of gravity will be exposed. The actor's face will show blood rushing, and the muscles will tighten like a conditioned reflex.

In order to better shoot and avoid this situation, Zhen Jiecheng adopted the method of keeping the actors still while the camera moved.

For example, to create a falling effect, you only need to flip the lens and let the camera get closer to the actor. Finally, with the help of LED and post-production, it can be made to look real.

Therefore, a flexible robotic arm for mounting and placing ARRI and Alexas cameras became the key.

Regarding this set of equipment, Huana found an automotive giant and made modifications based on the industrial robots they provided.

"It's not a big problem!" Cao Jiuping nodded. "Guo Fan has been following up. This guy is steady and meticulous. If he says it's almost done, then it must be fine."

"OK! Then let's adjust the shooting plan. Let's start with the long lens!"

When it comes to shooting the "humanistic" elements, Zhen Jiecheng can confidently say that he can do it more precisely and meticulously than Nolan.

Whether it is the foreshadowing and suggestion of the camera language or the use of montage techniques.

When it comes to shooting the thrilling "science fiction" space scenes, Emmanuel Lubezki's "Gravity" gave Zhen Jiecheng enough reference.

Standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, Zhen Jiecheng can easily learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and make arrangements and combinations, making the neat and tidy shots in the original "Interstellar" glow with vitality.

"By the way, Lao Cao, notify Industrial Light and Magic."

“In the post-production of special effects, I want to see the panoramic effect!”

"Panoramic effect?" Cao Jiuping was surprised when he heard this.

As an informal but permanent member of the gang, having been exposed to the script of "Interstellar" for so long, he naturally has some understanding of space and some knowledge of the "panoramic effect".

This is a space theory proposed by Frank White in the early 20s: an astronomical phenomenon in which when humans look down at the earth from the vast universe, its unique cosmic view will have an impact on the human spiritual world.

Different people are affected to different degrees. Slightly more serious ones may develop other symptoms, such as giant phobia.

"Yes, panoramic effect!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded. "I know it's not easy, but I don't ask for a complete replica. I just need to create a feeling."

"I also know that this will be unfriendly to the audience, but from another perspective, in addition to showing the truth, as long as the quality of the film is good enough, it can also become a selling point, right?"

“I have enough confidence in the quality of my work!”

As he spoke, Zhen Jiecheng rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Super large LED light box! Virtual camera! Robotic arm!"

“Innovative use of optics to replace mechanics, light and shadow to simulate weightlessness.”

"We have already made enough efforts. If we don't play more wildly, wouldn't it be a shame for our hard work?"

He stretched out his hands and opened his arms. "Imagine being in an IMAX theater. The audience's eyes follow the screen through the atmosphere and fly into space."

"Follow our carefully designed lens to look at the blue planet and fall into the endless deep darkness."

"We are like a mayfly in the universe, a grain of sand in the vast ocean!"

"Empty, oppressive, lonely, suffocating, and even desperate!"

Cao Jiuping closed his eyes and constructed the corresponding picture in his mind. Because he had been working on space-related art sets recently, he had accumulated enough materials, and the pictures he constructed were also very real.

I put myself in his shoes and, the next second, I shivered uncontrollably!

"You are the director, you have the final say!"

"Gan!"

"By North!"

"Horse riding!"

"Top you a lung!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

McConaughey couldn't beat it, so Li Pingbin and Peter Paw started.

From Cantonese to Hokkien, to Mandarin.

From Chinese to English, to Spanish and Bahga.

The two old guys showed the foreigners the profoundness of swearing in all aspects.

Without even mentioning anyone’s name, he just cursed!
He cursed and rubbed his arms at the same time, and then continued to enthusiastically discuss with Zhen Jiecheng. Then he filmed again, adjusted the plan, and cursed and rubbed his arms again, over and over again!
Jing Tian massages Bao Dexi's shoulders, while Guo Fan makes tea for Li Pingbin.

Lu Zheng invited a masseur to provide extra care for the prince.

As time goes by, the shooting progress remains stagnant.

"Hey, Zhou, how long did the director take to shoot the long shot in the movie you mentioned last time?" McConaughey pulled Zhou Yiwei and asked.

"You mean Let the Bullets Fly?"

"Yes! That's it."

"It seems like a week." Zhou Yiwei replied.

"Oh, only a week!" McConaughey counted roughly and nodded, "It doesn't seem too long, at least not as long as this time."

Humans are highly adaptable creatures, which is why they can rule the earth.

After being on the crew for a long time, McConaughey has become proficient in using chopsticks and has abandoned the knife and fork.

Ten clicks, so fast!

Twenty takes, not much!
Isn’t it just a long shot of ten days or half a month? It makes sense!

Look at the person in charge sent by Industrial Light & Magic to follow the team. He looks so cute with his brows frowned and his sweat wiped.

I am still young and lack experience.

What is a long shot of post-production special effects? Nothing!

The director's plan design and actual shooting took more than a month. Isn't it normal for you to spend a few more months on production?
Listen, what the director said is so good!
"Pass!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

“It’s been filmed very quickly, and I’m very satisfied with the progress!”

Zhen Jiecheng was truly satisfied, not just pretending.

Alfonso spent months with Lubezki on the long takes for Gravity, and several more months of follow-up production.

It was because of the references they provided that Zhen Jiecheng was able to greatly shorten the construction period. If we were starting from scratch, we might not be able to find the right direction in such a short period of time.

"OK! Next, let's adjust back to the original shooting plan."

"Hathaway!"

"I'm here!" Hathaway shuddered.

"Keep going. With this extra month, I'm sure you've made better preparations, right?"

Right or wrong never depends on yourself, but on your opponent.

Is Yesen strong? It doesn't matter, as long as I am stupid enough, I will be fine.

Is Hua Xiong a weakling? Before the Second Master warmed up the wine, he had just killed Pan Feng like a butcher.

Inside the spaceship, under the camera, McConaughey's vivid micro-expressions, the intonation and pauses of the lines match the layered changes in emotions, and a glance, a slight frown, can bring out the superb acting skills of complex emotions. Hathaway's stiffness and immaturity are instantly magnified, which is particularly abrupt.

Even more abrupt than in the original!

The reason is simple. In this life, McConaughey has obviously gained a deeper understanding of the script after being repeatedly tortured by Zhen Jiecheng.

"Crack!"

"Adjust for ten minutes and try again!"

Talking about drama?

There's nothing to talk about!

Because the plot is very clear and there is nothing obscure about it.

"Crack!"

"Come again!"

Zhen Jiecheng had a blank expression on his face.

This is in stark contrast to the previous attack on McConaughey.

"Jingtian!"

There was no "click" this time, but the effect was similar.

"Director, I'm here!" Jing Tian quickly stood up.

"Go to the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy and get some textbooks! Is the translator here? Translate them for her later! What are lines, what is breath control, what are micro-expressions, and the principles of making corresponding micro-expressions!"

The set was completely silent, with only the heavy breath amplified by the loud speakers to be heard.

At this moment, Zhen Jiecheng admired Li Lu very much.

How did he manage to calmly shout "pass" when facing the scenes where Hou Liangping, played by Lu Yi, was crushed in various ways?

Because the crew has no money?

Well, I have money! I have a strong backbone!

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

From accumulated anger to repression, and then to numbness.

For a moment, Zhen Jiecheng was extremely impressed by Wang Mojing.

Maybe the sunglasses are right!
When an actor is honed to a certain level, will quantitative change lead to qualitative change?

Isn’t that the case with “The Grandmaster”? Zhang Ziyi was polished to look like a grandmaster, and with the coordination of light and shadow, she performed a breakthrough style that was different from the past.

Once again, for who knows how many times, Zhen Jiecheng stood up and raised the loudspeaker.

But the difference this time was that Hathaway took the initiative to speak without waiting for Zhen Jiecheng to start the microphone.

“Director, I think.”

"It's not about what you think, it's about what I think!" Zhen Jiecheng put down the loud speaker, strode into the studio, walked in front of Hathaway, lowered his head, and looked straight at her.

"Whatever I say, whatever you do!"

"Understand?"

Get close, almost face to face.

"I am more than happy to behave like a gentleman in front of a beautiful lady."

"Hathaway, you don't want to force a gentleman to abandon his courtesy and gently tell him the fuck in front of you, in your ear, right?"

"Trust me, Hathaway!"

"I can flexibly arrange and combine various Fakes! Giving you an unprecedented language and literature experience!"
