Coquettish Rebirth

After the film was released, Nolan was very happy to see the applause from the market.For such a film, he doesn't have much ambition. After all, the creative source of this film is an idea that he has thought about in his head for nearly ten years, so for him, making such a film is actually more like a A chance to get rid of the "ghost" that entangled me.For a person like Nolan who is more active and responsible, it is really torture to have a story in his head all the time.He has always wanted to think about making such a movie.For some people, like Michael Bay, it doesn't matter what movie they want to make in their head.This dude is a famous "copy selling" director in Hollywood, a well-known director of commercial blockbusters, who is good at all kinds of explosive shots, and is good at getting a good box office.

So the films that Michael Bay came to direct must be purely commercial films that want to win the box office, and there will not be any commercial and artistically perfect scripts to come to him.As for Michael Bay, I don’t know whether it’s because he doesn’t have the ability to write scripts, or he’s not very interested in writing his own scripts at all. Anyway, he has never produced a script he wanted to shoot for more than ten years, and he has never tried any literary arts. piece!This kind of director probably doesn't take it seriously even if he has any thoughts in his head. He should eat and sleep, and the thoughts in his head have no chance of becoming a reality!People don't even have the urge to turn the ideas in their heads into scripts!

For Nolan, the thought in his head was like a thorn, which kept reminding Nolan to film such an idea, otherwise he would not be able to eat or sleep well.Under such a situation, if such a movie is made, as long as the box office is not too low, DreamWorks can get back its investment by relying on the North American box office. This is actually already passed the passing line, and he has nothing to do. It's stressful.On the other hand, in the process of filming such a movie.He also benefited a lot from the skills of shooting fighting scenes in action movies learned from Cheng Long.Of course, Cheng Long's experience has been accumulated for 20 years, and the experience he has shown.It's not that Nolan can completely learn after a few days of shooting.

But no matter what, being able to see the concepts of Cheng Long's fighting scenes has opened his eyes and benefited him a lot!And the key is that there are various DV materials recorded during the filming process on the set, which allows Nolan to revisit Cheng Long's language after filming and the requirements and instructions for the actors.If these things are digested and absorbed, it will really help Nolan make up for his biggest shortcoming before!

In fact, to be honest, the job of field recorder itself has no responsibility to shoot DV.Many ordinary people may have heard of the name of such a job, so what exactly does such a job do?It can be said that from the perspective of the very traditional Hong Kong Island film industry, making scene notes is the first step in becoming a director!In fact, such a position as a scene recorder sounds similar to some drama management, props, etc., but it is actually a lot worse!It seems that they are both behind the scenes, the difference in treatment between the prop artist and the lighting engineer is too big!Some people may have seen the American "Special Effects Makeup Artist Showdown".I thought the make-up artist or prop artist was awesome, but in fact these positions are really not awesome on the set!

Why?Because what kind of makeup an actor wants to look like is not determined by the makeup artist according to his mood. They have photos of the makeup, and the makeup is clearly required by the director!The make-up artist is in a bad mood today, daring to put makeup on an actor is different from setting makeup, believe it or not, the director can just tear this make-up artist up?You must know that a profession like a make-up artist is very good in the outside world, such as a stylist or make-up artist for a big star, you can definitely take a chartered flight with a star.But it's different in the crew, especially the film crew!why?Because the stylist and makeup artist used by the queen is to make up a person, and can make a star look as good as possible.But in the crew, the appearance of the stars, whether they are beautiful or ugly, are all determined!It was decided during the makeup audition!So makeup artists, costumes, etc., are the most "simple" types of work on the set. You only need to do makeup according to the predetermined makeup and the needs of the shooting schedule!

It's like being a kitchen cook for a wedding reception in a big hotel.At this time, it is really not about how high a certain chef is, how delicious the dishes can be, as long as he meets the chef's standard, and the most important thing is to be fast!Also, when encountering a relatively large crew, especially when there are a large number of people, hundreds or even hundreds of people need to make up, it really needs to be done quickly!As for the members of the art team, such as makeup, costumes, and props, it can be said that they are low-status among the high-level jobs on the set-being tossed about by stars, actors, and directors!A star can say that he doesn’t like a costume that he has worked so hard to change, and let the costume be changed. It can be said that a certain makeup is not good, and let the makeup artist change it. If the star really refuses to let go, the director will definitely help the star in the end. !

But on the other hand, celebrities dare not offend the lighting engineer too much!No matter how big the star is, at least he is polite to the lighting engineer!why?Because the beauty of a person really depends on the light!Whether it is taking pictures or videography, it is actually an art of light and shadow!How about a professional photo studio to get all kinds of reflector fill light?In many cases, the light is slightly different, and the whole picture gives people a different feeling!And like a lighting engineer, he really is like the uncle when shooting on-site!For example, when a certain actor offended these lighting engineers during shooting, the lighting was slightly manipulated. Maybe the director didn’t feel that something was wrong on the small monitor during shooting, but it was changed to film or digital copy in the later stage. Looking at it on the big screen, this actor's camera might be a bit ugly!So the lighting engineer is on Hong Kong Island, and he is directly honored as Lord of Lights!This is the master of the set!

On the other hand, such as the drama, it belongs to the logistics team - including picking up actors, helping with various odds and ends, distributing lunch boxes and even delivering water to everyone in the crew. These are the tasks of the logistics team Son.The logistics team is under the direct leadership of the production team. A producer like Jia Hongjian is the head of the production team and is in charge of town.Then the people below are divided into the production team, the financial team, etc. Of course, the production team is all kinds of executive producers, and some are in charge of outreach, such as contacting various location locations and prop rental, and then the logistics team is taken care of. Included in the responsibilities of the life producer, the life producer is responsible for the eating, drinking, and sleeping of the entire crew. For example, all kinds of lunch boxes are in charge of the life producer. If the life producer is not the producer himself As a human being, it’s quite easy to get kickbacks. The lunch box was quoted as 15 yuan, but it actually only cost 7 yuan, so what about the remaining 8 yuan?It's in the pocket of a life producer!

In addition to life production and outreach production, there is also a kind of coordinating production. What is this for?This is what is responsible for making the timing of everything!For example, from the big aspect of where to shoot which shots first, to the small aspect of who's scene will be filmed first and who will be filmed later, and even which makeup artists are in the morning shift and which makeup artists are in the evening shift, This is all formulated by the coordinating producer!So if the people in the crew offend the co-producer, it will be bad luck for eight lifetimes!Next, I will definitely face all kinds of endless small shoes in the crew!For example, if the makeup artist offends the coordinating producer, then the coordinating producer can ask the makeup artist to get up at 4 o'clock every morning to put on makeup for the actor. Rest for another two hours before applying makeup!Anyway, I can be busy from 8:12 in the morning to [-]:[-] in the evening, and the free time given in the middle is not enough to sleep!It will take a month to shoot, it can really torture people!

Having said that, like the scene record, it belongs to the lowest-level profession in the director group.How are the directors divided into occupations?Director, assistant director, scene record!That's all three levels!Needless to say, the director, what does the assistant director do?On the one hand, I am responsible for some messy little things that directors don’t want to take care of—for example, the director chooses the main roles, and then the assistant director chooses the roles for unimportant roles. Those who are capable and trusted by the director As for the assistant director, when the schedule needs to be rushed and filming starts in two places at the same time, the assistant director has to take a team out to film alone!What about the record?The scene record is also very complicated. First of all, filming is not done in chronological order, because actors may have different schedules, and some people may be free for a few days. At the same time, because scenes in various places may also have time restrictions ——For example, one week in the film and television city is used by our crew, and the next week will be used by others, so in many cases, it is necessary to focus on shooting a certain person’s play or a certain scene, and these plays may have a different timeline in the script. One hundred and eight thousand miles!

Under such circumstances, the director alone cannot memorize it in their minds!That’s why we need a scene record. The scene record is to take the pre-set form and remind the director which scene and content to shoot next, and then take the scene slate before starting the machine and write down which scene, which item, and how many times to go” Click" once, so that the editors can know which one is which!Then which one is the director more satisfied with? This also needs to be recorded in the scene notes, otherwise the director may forget which one he is satisfied with when editing in the later stage. Should the director be asked to look at all the materials again?Then there are directors who may have some requirements for post-editing - which shots are best to use and what kind of storyboards are cut out to best meet the director's ideas. These are all recorded by the scene recorder!So in this way, the scene record is to stay by the director's side at the beginning, to be able to observe and be familiar with the director's requirements and try to figure out the director's ideas while doing small things!Isn't this the first step in the director's path?

As for Jia Hongjian and his crew, in order to add an additional selling point to the future DVD release, they have always had the habit of recording the set on DV.So what funny or memorable thing happened on the scene, can it be edited and added at the end of the DVD soon?I believe movie fans are still more interested in these things.As for Nolan, after finishing the filming, he asked for the DV memory card of the scene record and copied it all. He went over and over again all day long to watch Cheng Long's various requests when he was filming the fight scene, and even gave the scene record. Record all kinds of storyboarding requirements and editing requirements, which can be said to be the best material for stealing teachers! (~^~)
