Chapter 31

"Brother Luman, are you free now?"

A girl from the advertising class asked Lu Man.

"Yesterday you helped Zekai and the others set up, using banana peels as slide rails, and finished shooting a set of shots, after that..."

"Ze Kai sent the video to the BBS class space of our class, and the QQ chat room of our class was refreshed, and the whole class was talking about your method."

"There is a postgraduate assistant tutor. The subject of his thesis is the motion lens technique. He asked us to ask you and wanted to meet and chat with you."

"It really opened our eyes, it's amazing!"

"It's an exaggeration, it's just a trivial whim." Lu Mantui said.

"Brother, don't be humble, it's too difficult to jump out of this fixed thinking."

Just like the German tanks during World War II, the general impression is that tanks are high-tech products of that era. Very sophisticated engines need to burn gasoline to work.However, due to the shortage of oil resources and the abundance of coal, the Germans invented gas-powered supply furnaces, and the fuel gas for tanks can even come from chopping wood.

The march of tank troops with gasifiers and coal, charcoal and even straw is a bit funny, but it came in handy.The innovation of the firewood-burning tank brings a strong sense of contrast, which is exactly the same as Lu Man's operation of banana peel shooting.

"Brother Luman, can you give me your contact information, I'll send it to the graduate assistant."

……

At the same time, next to the studio in Building S, there is a photography laboratory.

Zhao Jiaquan sat in front of the square table. He was in his early thirties and was the head of the laboratory. He also taught graduate and undergraduate photography courses.

In front of the square table, a circle of graduate students waited for him to speak.Next to him was an old man in a vest and a peaked cap, dressed as if he had just returned from fishing by the river, watching a TV series with an MP4 player in his arms, like an outsider.

"Today's group meeting, I don't assign any tasks, just chat with everyone."

Zhao Jiaquan stretched out his palm and pointed his five fingers at the old man next to him: "This is Mr. Hua, who retired from our school. He has been making movies for 40 years. He is now a director of the Provincial Photography Association. If he is free, I will invite Mr. Hua Come, take the time to pass on the experience of dialing to everyone."

The graduate students shouted "Hello, Teacher Hua". Teacher Hua raised his head and waved with a smile, then lowered his head and continued to watch the drama. In the third episode of "Bright Sword", the independent group failed to grab the main attack opportunity, and Li Yunlong pointed at Zhao Gang's nose and got angry .

Zhao Jiaquan buckled the table with his knuckles: "Last month, I took you to shoot an advertisement for the scenic spot. The boss was generous. As long as the film satisfies him, the hard work will not be spared. How is the follow-up of this private work okay?"

"Director Zhao, most of the video was shot, and the manager of the scenic spot was quite satisfied with it, and the response was good."

The graduate student hesitated for a moment, and continued, "The only thing that happened during the rafting session was something unpleasant."

"Boss wants a first-person view of the rafting clip."

"We wrapped the camera in a tarp and took pictures all the way on the drifting boat."

"But the boss of the scenic spot is very stubborn. He wants a camera with a very fixed lens throughout the whole process."

"I said it's impossible. The camera is on the drifting boat. How can it not shake or move?"

The graduate student carefully observed Zhao Jiaquan's face from the corner of his eyes. He was expressionless and couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"The boss of the scenic spot was a little unhappy, took out his mobile phone and showed us a CCTV advertising video."

"In that video, the camera seemed to be immobilized. It was always on the same horizontal line. The boat bumped and swayed in the water. It was strange, but the lens of the camera didn't move."

"You shouldn't be full of words." Zhao Jiaquan spoke out, criticizing and educating.

"Leave a three-point leeway to speak, and you can turn around when things happen, so that you won't let yourself fall into a passive position."

"It's all right now, I blocked myself and made people question the professional ability of the entire team."

"I'm sorry... Director Zhao."

The graduate student bowed his head and apologized. Others dared not make a sound. Only Teacher Hua was still playing the sound of "Bright Sword".

For a while, the scene was a little stiff.

"That boss is not easy to offend. He has a good relationship with many entrepreneurs. I have obtained a lot of sponsorship and personal work through him."

"Well, I'll take you with me when I have time, and come to him to apologize."

"...Yes." The graduate student was dissatisfied, with a look of reluctance on his face, but he didn't dare not listen to what the tutor said, so he agreed.

"This kind of clip is very difficult to film, and it's a bit difficult for the children." Teacher Hua, who has been watching the drama, said, defending the aggrieved graduate student. The boat wanted to keep the camera completely still, even when the three-headed and six-armed Nezha came, he couldn't shoot steadily."

"Mr. Hua, what do you mean?"

"CCTV's advertisement can do it, most likely it uses Steadicam."

"Oh—that makes sense." Zhao Jiaquan suddenly realized.

"Steadycam?"

Slightly awkward nouns, the graduate students whispered to each other and cast blank glances at each other.

"It's only been in China for ten years, and it's only used in the film industry. It's normal for some of you who haven't heard of it. I have photos here." Zhao Jiaquan put his mobile phone horizontally in the middle of the square table, "This mechanical vest is equipped with a spring shock-absorbing arm. , that’s the Steadicam.”

In the photo, a photographer is wearing a steel vest in the style of a bulletproof vest. One hand is covered with a metal rod and shield with bare springs, which is connected to a SLR camera. No matter how the user moves, the camera is anchored at the same level and point of vertical height.

Yuanjing looks like a sci-fi fighter with a full sense of technology, like a humanoid weapon depicted in a Hollywood special effects blockbuster.

"This thing looks like the mecha in "Legend of Teachers and Men." Some graduate students whispered.

"That new book that's just been on the shelves for two months? Are you going to read it too?"

"Hey, when you put it that way, I also think this is a mecha, not like a camera equipment."

Zhao Jiaquan was not interested in the divergent fantasies of graduate students. He frowned: "The school laboratory only has a Steadicam, which is quite expensive. I need to apply to Director Dong."

Shooting advertisements for scenic spots is to use the school’s public resources to receive private work. The money does not fall into the school’s account, but it goes into your own pocket, so you can’t say it with great fanfare.

Teacher Hua kindly reminded: "And if you use a Steadicam while rafting, if the parts get rusted due to water entering, the loss outweighs the gain."

"Xiao Zhao, I suggest you don't take any risks. The request is too outrageous. If you can't meet it, just tell the truth."

"Oh, I have to do this first."

Zhao Jiaquan told the graduate students: "Think about it in the next two days and use your brains to see if there is any other way to take this group of drifting shots as well as possible. Even if it doesn't meet the expectations of the boss of the scenic spot, try your best to do your best."

"What can be done about this?" The graduate students looked at each other, helpless.

Zhao Jiaquan emphasized: "Xiao Zhen, your graduation thesis is on the research of sports cameras. Thank you for looking for more relevant research materials and documents, and see if there is any substitute operation experience abroad."

Xiao Zhen, who was pinned on by his mentor, stroked his chin: "Director, there is something that inspired me recently. Maybe professional equipment can't be counted on, so let's start from the direction of Ye Luzi."

"Ye Luzi? What can Ye Luzi, who has the least technical content, do for a lens that requires the participation of a Steadicam?" Zhao Jiaquan shook his head, "Otherwise, why would the Yankees spend a lot of money to develop a Steadicam?"

"Yesterday, the undergraduate advertising class of 05 is the class where I was the assistant. They met the folk gods. How should I put it..."

Xiao Zhen thought for a few seconds, but didn't think of a suitable adjective.

At this time, Mr. Hua's MP4 was still playing, and the progress of the episode reached Brigadier Chen of the [-]th Brigade. Seeing that the Yamazaki Brigade was unable to attack for a long time, he was about to change the protagonist Li Yunlong to the battlefield.

"Li Yunlong, this kid, has a lot of ideas about fighting ghosts, and he can come up with some new tricks at any time!"

"Don't tell me, he can always come up with ideas at critical moments. This kid, Li Yunlong, sometimes has some creative thinking!"

"Director, did you hear the lines on Teacher Hua's player?" Xiao Zhen said dully.

"what happened?"

"I think these lines are just right to describe this great folk god..."
