Chapter 329 Limit Scheduling
In "Kung Fu", there are many scenes in one shot, among which the scenes about the life of the pig cage city appeared twice in total.

The first time was at the beginning, and the second time was when the three masters left.

But some content was only played in the premiere.

When it was officially released, in order to compress the duration and some harmonious reasons, the first shot of the first life scene was deleted for nearly 40 seconds.

There is only a little picture of the west side and the gate of the city wall passing by when the last frame is dropped.

Also cut out is a section of Ah Xing joining the Axe Gang, and the dog leg asked him to choose a woman.

Until Brother Kun said A Xing: "You can tell at a glance that you dare to do anything but good things!"

Then he stretched out his hand for him to kiss.

It's a full 2 ​​minutes long!

The deletion of these two paragraphs did speed up the rhythm of the movie a lot, but it also concealed some details in disguise, and at the same time destroyed the extremely paranoid idealism of the star.

In the film "Kung Fu", Xing Ye deliberately pursued "perfect plot segmentation".

The so-called perfect plot division means that the opening account accounts for one-third, the plot promotion accounts for one-third, and the climax and ending account for one-third.

The split node of the original version of "Kung Fu" is almost exactly 33 minutes a plot paragraph!
The precision of the rhythm control is amazing, it's like a magic tool in the hands of the master, it has to be whatever you want it to be.

Such extreme control is simply a fantasy for many directors.

You must know that when a movie is being shot, there is great randomness in the performance of the actors, the use of the camera, and even the rhythm of speaking.

Each of these affects the length of the footage in the film.

Therefore, the final product is often out of control of the total duration, let alone the precise timing of the card points according to the paragraphs like Xing Ye!

It can also be seen from here that Star Master spent nearly ten years polishing such a work. Before filming, every shot, and even the specific performance rhythm and details were repeatedly pondered to the extreme by him.

When filming, there are even more stringent requirements for the actors' performances and the handling of the shots.

This is what makes such a classic.

At the same time, this extreme self-requirement-centered way of filming has also become one of the most criticized places for Xing Ye.

This way of directing has been jokingly said that "he will take care of a needle if he loses it", and the title of the tyrant on the set comes from this.

Gao Shuang plans to use Xing Ye's "perfect plot segmentation" in his own shooting.

Therefore, the plots that were deleted in the release version were filled in by him.

In the performance, he adjusted the rhythm consciously, and strived to show this ultimate effect in the end.

……

In the end of this "large group portrait", personnel scheduling is the most difficult part.

In the movie "Titanic", there is a long shot scene of Jack entering the banquet hall for the first time, using about a hundred people.

The lens extends inward from the position where the door is entered.

The actors along the way are all dancers except the waiters, and they will avoid the slowly approaching camera during the dance steps.

Everyone is dancing, and the complexity is completely incomparable to a noisy and lively residential area.

But for such a scene, Cameron took more than 200 shots, and the actors who appeared on the scene changed three or four batches.

It was finally finished after a full half month of grinding!
What Gao Shuang has to do now is much more exaggerated than that long shot of dancing.

A shot with a huge span, lasting nearly 1 minute to the end!
Dozens of people have to do something for more than a minute.

What we do here is an action that must have a clear purpose, not meaningless wandering away from the plot.

Because the initial relationship of six or seven key people will be explained immediately later.

Generally, this kind of scene has a proper name in film shooting - "extreme dispatch"!
To achieve this level, basically each of these dozens of people must have a simple character biography, and at the worst, an action analysis should be used as a reference template.

Otherwise, relying on on-site temporary arrangement, even if one person only does it for three to five minutes, there is nothing to do today!

Before, He Jiahong, the actor and assistant director, asked Gao Shuang to analyze the specific actions of these characters.

Gao Shuang kept pushing back, and he would say it when it was time.

Now that it is time to shoot, Gao Shuang has no intention of preparing in advance.

This is almost an obvious rhythm for the assistant director to "dispatch" on the spot!
"On-the-spot scheduling" is a beautification statement. According to the general understanding, it is called "on-the-spot make-up".

It is not a problem for an old assistant director like He Jiahong to make a few minutes of scheduling for two people.

Ten or eight can barely do it!
But now there are fifty or sixty characters that intersect with each other, which is completely beyond his ability.

He even dared to say that in the absence of written manuscripts, there is no actor or assistant director who can fully control such a scene in Quan Huaxia! ! !

This is also the reason why He Jiahong couldn't help but fry.

Can extreme scheduling scenarios be made up?

At that time, as long as one or two people have nothing to do, the entire lens will be useless.

Pure nonsense, you might as well shoot it separately, what is the whole shot in the end?

NG a hundred and eighty times, see if you still burn the buns? !
Although I kept complaining in my heart, I still have to say what I should say.

After all, the scheduling of non-main actors is the work of the actors and assistant directors.

In this situation today, he is the one who suffers the most!

He Jiahong was still somewhat apprehensive about Gao Shuang's identity as Emperor Qu, and when he walked up to him, he spoke somewhat euphemistically: "Director Gao! Why don't we shoot something else today... If such a big scene is not planned in advance, we are afraid today. There is no progress at all.”

Gao Shuang didn't realize He Jiahong's resentment at all, and said indifferently, "It's okay, I'll talk on the scene for a while, and you will help me along."

He has carefully studied all the characters in this shot, so it is very confident to say it.

But in He Jiahong's ears, it was not as simple as numbness on the scalp.

He just felt that he was in deep despair!

Gao Dao really wants to make up the limit of the scene...cough, that...scheduling?
Is this what people do?
Before He Jiahong could express his inner dissatisfaction, he saw Gao Shuang casually pointing at a few people in the crowd: "Come on! Four teachers, follow me to the second floor. The others rest in place, don't go far! I'll be there soon! part of the show."

After he finished speaking, he took the people up to the third floor.

He Jiahong opened his mouth, but in the end he could only helplessly follow.

Gao Shuang confidently said to a middle-aged woman who followed: "This teacher! You are the first to draw, so you must pay attention to my orders from the beginning."

The woman was selected from the "squatting" in the capital. Although she did not have a name in the play, she still had a role in the back.

It's the girl who was splashed with kerosene by the Axe Gang, her mother!
Gao Shuang pushed open the easternmost door on the third floor, where the props team had already prepared a wooden shed, and there was a pile of clothes in the basin.

The furnishings of the rooms are also neatly arranged.

Gao Shuang picked up the wooden basin and handed it to the woman: "Come out from the door at the easternmost end of the third floor with your clothes in your arms, shake it to dry on this pole. Do you know how to dry clothes..."

"Um……"

The woman nodded shyly.

Seeing this, Gao Shuang directly called another person: "This teacher, you came out with a fan and stretched out in the morning. When you see him drying his clothes, come and help."

Gao Shuang always calls "Teacher" for people who can't be named in the crew, which is also the usual way of addressing them in the circle.

Originally, the director was the most authoritative person in the crew, and at this time everyone knew that he was Wang Xingren, which made him even more "fearful".

It can be seen from He Jiahong's reaction that a high wall of identity has been built in the hearts of everyone in the crew.

But under Gao Shuang's humble title of "teacher", the actors unconsciously developed a sense of responsibility after being taken seriously.

After listening to Gao Shuang's talk about the play, he became more and more serious.

Gao Shuang actually did it on purpose. As soon as he returned to the hotel yesterday, he felt the oppression that this change of identity brought to the people around him.

Later, Lu Jianhui's deliberate "disruption" made Gao Shuang wake up suddenly, and at the same time found a breakthrough to break the repressive atmosphere of the crew.

That's grounded!
If you are an insignificant little person, you are very humble in the process of interpersonal communication, which may not touch the hearts of others.

But when your status is high enough, being polite and easy-going will often inspire people!
It is very nice to turn the original sense of oppression into beneficial assistance!

Gao Shuang is practicing his own ideas at the moment.

With these little actors who have no name and no last name, they are gesturing and joking, and they make jokes from time to time.

I have to say, the effect is really good.

The more easy-going he acts, the more cooperative these actors will be!

"Yes, just put the fan on the back of the neck. If it slips out of the neckline and removes it from the trousers, don't pick it up, just bear with it for a while..."

"Two teachers can't just work! You need to have a little dialogue, say hello normally, say what have you eaten or something, it's fine..."

"..."

Gao Shuang arranged it very quickly, and the people on the third floor finished the explanation in no time.

Then he went down in person and called out five or six people from the crowd.

This basically means that He Jiahong, an actor and assistant director, has been robbed of his job.

He Jiahong, who thought he was going to be tossed and wanted to die, became the most idle one in the group at this moment.

He Jiahong was actually a little unconvinced about Gao Shuang's command and dispatch with such ease.

As the top actor and assistant director of the magic capital, he feels that he can do it to this extent!

Gao Shuang just took advantage of some thoughts in his heart, so he behaved so calmly.

Edit, you can write hard!
One or two is fine, but ten and eight are fine.

The number of people has reached [-]. I think you can understand the relationship between the characters clearly in your mind?
……

However, He Jiahong's somewhat angry thoughts soon changed.

Twenty!
Forty!
55! ! !
When there are fewer and fewer people in the open space downstairs, there are more and more people who said that the play went upstairs.

His eyes gradually became unnatural.

How does this high-level brain grow?

People who seem to be called casually are closely related to the subsequent scenes when they are arranged.

You can even move purposefully from the third floor to the downstairs, interacting with multiple people along the way.

Finally, the scene after this group of shots can be connected to complete a closed-loop foreshadowing.

It's easy to say that one or two are like this, but at least half of the dozens of people have such intertwined character relationships and interactions.

Every time node can even be accurate to the second!
As for Gao Shuang, he was empty-handed from beginning to end, and he said it with just one mouth!

This kind of complicated and abnormal scheduling process, can anyone remember it?
All the way from the third floor to the open space downstairs.

Gao Shuang finally called "Sauce Burst" Ding Hou, he patted Ding Hou's shoulder and said, "Come on! Xiao Ding, you are a famous character, and you are the finale of this group of shots today. !"

Apart from the group performance of two children, Gao Shuang is the only person in the crew who can put a "small" in his title.

Ding Hou is one year younger than Gao Shuang, only seventeen.

It is said that this year, I want to take the performance department of the "Huaxia Academy of Drama".

Gao Shuang admires his courage very much!
As for the result...

Maybe after the movie is released, maybe he can get some extra points in the art exam?
"Oh……"

Ding Hou just returned a single tone with calm eyes...

This scene is a little embarrassing.

Gao Shuang didn't care, he was used to Ding Hou's rigid appearance.

The role of "Sauce Burst" will also become a classic because of his rigidity.

……

All the characters have been arranged, and He Jiahong is completely convinced!
This kind of commanding and dispatching skills have simply left him, a senior assistant director, Bajiaojie!

What is a professional?

What is a genius?

Director Gao Shuang, this is a professional genius! ! !

He Jiahong has been crying frantically in his heart:
As expected of a man who can become Emperor Qu, this is simply a way of mastering all methods.

Today's on-the-spot limit scheduling is really amazing!
He estimated that few people would believe what he experienced today if he told his peers.

Gao Shuang and He Jiahong took only one and a half hours to complete such a complicated scene scheduling.

During the whole scheduling process, Gao Shuang was basically speaking alone, and He Jiahong also helped the actors to smooth the scene after he finished speaking.

Don't think an hour and a half is too long.

After all, dozens of people are involved. Under normal circumstances, even if you only tell each person a scene of one or two minutes, it will take three hours.

To be clear, ten eight hours is a fluke.

Like Gao Shuang, who can clearly explain a person's scheduling in a few words, what kind of directing skills is this?
What kind of agile thinking is this?

"Come on! Let's practice!"

Gao Shuang finally sat on the director's chair, took two sips of water, raised his loudspeaker and shouted to the scene, "One, two, three! Start!"

As soon as the voice fell, the dozens of people who had been silent like clay sculptures suddenly moved.

For a moment, the lifeless pig cage village seemed to be injected with life!
Zhao Hai manipulated the rocker arm and camera equipment in the huge hanging basket.

In the bottom corner, the screen of Gao Shuang's director's monitor flows smoothly all the way, and the synchronized actions of all characters are gradually displayed.

Some people are pushing the windows to dry their clothes, some children are packing their schoolbags, some people are jogging all the way to pour the chamber pot...

Everyone's response is characteristic, but not deliberate.

The last person in the picture is the four-eyed boy who beat Gao Shuang on the tram before.

He hurriedly ran out of Jane's room on the second floor!

So there is almost no big deviation in people.

If it is a formal recording, if the requirements are not too strict, this one can basically pass.

Standing behind Gao Shuang, He Jiahong, who had been staring at the monitor, couldn't help clenching his fists.

Although he played a small role in it, the sense of achievement at this moment is not much at all!
One shot is a kind of enjoyment for the cameraman. Isn't it the honor of the actor and assistant director to complete the extreme scheduling?

He knows that so far...

This unimaginable limit scheduling is done! ! !
