my crew is not human

Chapter 55
On April [-]th, Reverse Time Hunting officially started.

According to the rule, the incense is served first.

Li Xianyun, as the producer and director, is in the center, the producer Jiang Zheng is on the left, the action director Li Longquan is on the right, the leading actors are in the back row, and then the cameraman, etc., strictly divided into levels.

As for Lu Jun and Shen Rong, they didn't come. They are guest stars of big names, so they can just come when they need it.

"Good luck starting up!"

Amidst the chanting of the on-site production, the crew officially started.

Because the plot starts at night, the first half is a night scene, the second half is a day scene, and the machine is turned on in the morning, so the second half is shot first.

According to the plot design, at this time, the hero Jiang Xiangsheng was taken away by the thieves Guan Jiushan and Li Zhui, and the heroine Qi Mingyue chased after her. She came to a jungle and dismounted to fight.

So the boot is in a small forest, and there is an ancient road here.

During the daytime, there is basically no need to turn on lights for exterior scenes. All personnel are arranged and actors are in place.

The scene recorder came over to play the board: "No. 30 five scenes, the fourth act, the first shot!"

"Action!"

With the bezel down, the movie officially started.

The sound of horseshoes sounded in the distance, and Dong Zixin rode his horse and swung his whip towards him. In front of him were Zhang Lidong and Yang Enjun playing thieves and leading the hero Jiang Zhisheng to gallop on horseback.

On the big rocker arm, Zhao Yunyang held the camera up and down, and at the two farther positions on the same side, Rong Dasheng and Xuan Dong were holding the camera, one shot the front and the other shot the rear.

The three cameras started at the same time, and the three screens of the monitors showed a panoramic picture of the three people running wildly.

Movies generally don’t need too many camera positions, because movie shooting is different from TV, and they are often shot one shot at a time.On the contrary, for TV dramas, seven or eight sets of cameras can be used at a time. When the actors walk over, there are scenes from all angles.

Unless it is some special scenes, such as bombing a building, it is necessary to set up a bunch of cameras to shoot at the same time in order to perform in an all-round way; or bullet time, where hundreds of cameras are set up in a circle to shoot, etc.

So three cameras are enough for general movies.

"Ka!" Li Xianyun picked up the walkie-talkie and yelled at the beginning.

The actors all stopped.

Li Xianyun beckoned Yang Enjun to come over: "The horse riding posture is wrong! Yang Enjun, please don't hug the horse's neck, please? You are big thieves! Martial arts masters, just hold the reins with one hand, and look back, otherwise you How did you throw the hidden weapon?"

Yang Enjun looked bitter: "Director, I don't know how to ride a horse."

"Didn't I let you get used to it in advance?" Li Xianyun stared.

"Just one day is not enough." Yang Enjun said helplessly.

"One day?" Li Xianyun turned his head and shouted: "Ren Zhi, didn't I tell you to practice for at least half a month?"

Ren Zhi ran over, with a thankful expression on his face: "Boss, you just give that little money, and you let him practice horseback riding for half a month, isn't it appropriate?"

What the hell!

Li Xianyun was furious at the time: "You don't have to do it if you think it's inappropriate, this is not a fucking reason for you to fool me!"

This guy is really cheating, not only cheating money but also cheating things, Li Xianyun has too many things to take care of, if one is not careful, he will be cheated by this guy again.

The main reason is that he feels that as long as Ren Zhi doesn't touch money, then it's fine.

Who would have thought that he could be a monster without touching money.

Ren Zhi hurriedly said: "Why don't you let them ride the wooden horse, and then use a car to tow it."

"I don't know? I use you to teach?" Li Xianyun roared: "What I want now is a big panorama! A big panorama! A panorama showing the entire space of the venue. You are fucking teaching me , how does Panorama ride a wooden horse?"

Li Xianyun was completely speechless.

Space lenses may seem unremarkable, but they are actually very important.

Take the scene in front of us as an example, the thief Guan Jiushan kidnapped the hero Jiang Zhisheng in the city, was discovered by the heroine Qi Mingyue, and chased him all the way to the woods.

According to the most basic lens logic, a set of shots goes out of the city, a set of shots on the ancient road, and a set of shots into the jungle.

In this way, the city and the forest can be connected together.

Without these three groups of inconspicuous shots, the picture would be that one second Qi Mingyue was still fighting Guan Jiushan in the city, and the next second they moved into the woods.

The audience will be confused, what's the situation?
I just can't understand it.

Such shots are generally for panoramic shots.

Close-up close-ups are not absent, they all belong to the same group of shots.

For example, several people are running horses on the ancient road, and the three cameras will shoot at the same time, and they will shoot from different angles. As for the close-up, they can be shot on the wooden horse and then cut into it.

So for a shot from the city to the forest, there are at least three sets of shots, and there may be dozens of screen cuts in reality. How can three sets of shots be enough for an awesome director?At least ten groups!If a cutscene does not toss for two or three days, I have to think that I am not dedicated to my work. After the filming is completed, there are only a dozen shots left in the end.

But no matter how you do it, the panorama is necessary, otherwise everyone will look at a scene out of the city, and then you will finish with a close-up of the face for the horse riding scene, and it will be too much to deal with the errand.

Of course, it’s not impossible to solve it. For example, you can use a double, as long as you don’t look back and don’t throw hidden weapons, the problem is not too big.

But in this way, this lens is not perfect.

A good director must pursue perfection, but different productions must have different levels of perfection.

A bad director may actually do it: go out of town, close-up on a horse ride, or a partial panorama, leaving out a person or two, anyway, just deal with the errand.

Ordinary directors will require a complete lens expression.

Better directors will add content to such shots, such as fighting scenes, so that the cutscenes don't look boring.

The requirements of top directors will be higher. Even if it is just a process shot of a street race, many small details will be designed. Not only must there be fights, but also the emotions, characters, connotations, and even special meanings of the characters. A sense of ritual comes out-the quality requirements of this type of people are calculated in units of frames, and each frame of the picture must have meaning and feeling, so that the audience can't bear to leave the screen for a second.

Every detail is in place!
For example, Zhou Xingxing, even if he makes a phone call, he has to repeatedly design, use his tongue to press the button, and change the lines again and again, constantly trying.Others only know that Zhou Xingxing's acting skills are good and unique, but they don't know that his camera language is also very good. The director's ability is absolutely unquestionable. The most vivid performance of his directorial skills is "Kung Fu".

And a good movie is supported by these countless small details of excellence.

Li Xianyun has limited investment and cannot meet the requirements of top directors, so his requirement is a good director.

A cutscene scene also needs to have basic fighting movements, so that the process is not boring as much as possible and has content.

In the plot, Li Zhui, as a master of hidden weapons, throws a hidden weapon at Qi Mingyue while being pursued, and then gets hit back by Qi Mingyue, causing him to fall off his horse and enter the woods, triggering a fight scene in the woods.

The action of falling off the horse can be used as a close-up or a stand-in, but in the panoramic view, the action of galloping the horse and waving back and throwing darts makes the cut-scene shot no longer a simple pat on the horse running, but gives more connotation, it is the enhancement of details, it is this level Under the pursuit of perfect performance, this cannot be solved with close-ups.

The close-up highlights the emotions of the characters, not the plot connection-how can you tell the plot by looking at a face?
It's all right now, Yang Enjun only practiced horse riding for one day, it would be great if he didn't fall off the horse.

And make a fart move!
Back when Rong Dasheng was filming, Li Xianyun told him that he could do whatever he could, even the fluorescent lights were turned on, and now that the matter was his own, he couldn't bear it no matter how he thought about it!

This made Li Xianyun dizzy with anger.

Ren Zhi was still blinking his eyes innocently, and it was written all over his face that there was nothing I could do.

This expression is very familiar to Li Xianyun. In the original world, he was forced to deal with countless investors and directors like this. The angry opponents were all furious.

At that moment, Li Xianyun even had a thought in his mind:
There may not be other ghost hunters in this world, but investors who are not cheated by Ren Zhi certainly do not exist.

I'm so stupid, really!

I just knew that Ren Zhi was unreliable; I didn't expect that he would be unreliable with me watching...

Aunt Xianglin's nagging sounded inexplicably in his ears.

Li Xianyun wants to cry but has no tears.

But the next moment, Li Xianyun quickly calmed down when he saw the eyes of everyone looking at him, with slightly gloating eyes.

I am the director!

I'm a producer!
I'm still a producer!

I can't be messed up, or everyone will look down on me.

Yes!

The reason why Ren Zhi would fool me is not only because of his problem, but also because I am still weak!
One ghost experience is not enough! !

Far from enough!

I must establish prestige!
You must abide by the bottom line!
Thinking of this, Li Xianyun slowly raised his head, his gaze was full of firmness!

He pointed at Yang Enjun and said slowly, "Tie him to the horse."

"What?" Yang Enjun was shocked: "The director..."

"Shut up!" Li Xianyun yelled: "Aren't you just afraid of falling? Tie it up, tie it up! Yang Enjun, let me tell you, I'm going to order this shot today! Not only do I have to do it, but I also want you You must do it well for me! Don't make a damn face for me, I want you to keep doing it until I am satisfied!"

"I won't do it!" Yang Enjun yelled.

"You have no right to quit!" Li Xianyun yelled: "I warn you Yang Enjun, the contract has already been signed, and today is the first day of the show, I can replace you at any time. But if you don't obey the director's arrangement, you have to compensate All the losses, believe it or not, I will sue you for bankruptcy? Tie him to the horse! Either you die, or the horse dies today, or you just fucking shoot the film for me!"

Ren Zhi was also in a hurry, and shouted: "Xianyun, there's no need for that, is it? They're all our own people..."

"Shut up!" Li Xianyun pointed at Ren Zhi's nose and cursed: "Because of you, the crew's progress was delayed! You are responsible for this loss! I will add all the losses caused by today's delays to your debts, you alone Don't even think about letting go."

As soon as he heard that he was going to lose money, Ren Zhi instantly turned the red peony into a white peony, his flat face turned pale: "Boss, are you bored?"

Li Xianyun grabbed him by the neck: "I will keep all the fake accounts you made in the ghost battle in the secret room for you. Do you think the past is over? Believe it or not, I will send you to jail immediately."

Ren Zhi was shocked: "This is impossible."

Li Xianyun has taken out his mobile phone and played the recording to him: "This is the record of our conversation! There is also a record of deposits and withdrawals in your mobile phone. You took my 30 and returned it to Wu Bao. These are all evidence! Do you think Who is Lao Tzu? Zhang Yao and the others are also evidence. If it doesn’t work, I’ll give Wu Bao money. See if he’s willing to sue you! How dare I use you, I’ve been on my guard for a long time! I'll tell you all the nasty things! If you dare to bully me, I'll fuck you to death!"

Li Xianyun let go of his hand, and Ren Zhi fell to his knees with a plop.

Fuck!
Kneeling in panic and kneeling again!
