China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 95 Great Wisdom, Obika!
The number of shots in "Invasion of Wall Street" is about 1300, and He Fang didn't let the number of shots be too many, because this is not only a good-looking revenge movie, but also a critical movie.

Some shots require emotional rendering, and it requires an appropriate extension of the actor's performance time.

But even if this is the case, 1300 shots are shot within 45 days, and 29 effective shots are taken in one day.

Even if the Hollywood crew had already read the script, it would be difficult to shoot 29 effective shots in one day.

So He Fang adopted two-camera shooting, and at some point even three-camera shooting.

Although this can improve efficiency, if the operation is not done properly, it will affect the efficiency. It is more difficult to take care of two or three cameras for lighting, art, and performance.

At the same time, each camera has to have its movement, which makes the difficulty factor increase exponentially.

But this does not bother the Hollywood photographers who are good at playing with the lens, they have already practiced this skill.After all, when they entered the industry, they played multi-camera shooting in various crews.

In this era, domestic film shooting prefers to play stand-alone, mainly because stand-alone is more controllable and the cost is lower.

In this era, the daily salary of cheap domestic photographers is only [-] yuan, but the daily rent of cameras is as much as [-] to [-] yuan.

In China, labor is cheap and machines are expensive, so it is better to use labor than to use multiple machines.

But in Hollywood, renting the same camera costs just over 1000 a week, which is thousands of dollars cheaper.That is more than [-] US dollars a day.

But the daily salary of a photographer ranges from 3 to tens of thousands of dollars, so in Hollywood, labor is expensive and machines are cheap.Therefore, they prefer to shoot with multiple cameras to reduce the number of man-hours and it is more cost-effective.

This creates another problem, that is, Hollywood photographers are more comfortable with multi-camera.

However, the more expensive the domestic ones, the less they dare to play, the less they dare to play, the less they can play, and the less they know how to play, the more they resist to play.

The other is, how many films can domestic photographers make in a year?How much equipment do you have for playing?It’s just that domestic photographers have no chance to play like this.

This is just like playing a game, you have to brush up the low-level dungeon to get the experience, then you can play with multiple cameras at the same time like Hollywood directors and photographers without any pressure.

However, this will not be a problem. When Chinese films develop and the overall shooting volume increases, then our directors and photographers will also use multiple cameras.

Playing multiple machines is a process of playing experience, how to play so that multiple machines do not interfere with each other?And how to ensure the color balance between multiple machines?
These are all experience and technology.

Especially for domestic directors who like to shoot literary and artistic films, since digital cameras became popular, they are even more reluctant to shoot with multiple cameras, because the colors of each camera are different.

Even if you use the same brand and the same model of camera, and shoot the same camera position, the colors they shoot are not the same, which is the most distressing part.

……

Just as He Fang and the others were making their films in full swing in Hollywood, the entire film market had already begun to enter the summer season.

As for the summer, He Fang has two films to be released, one is "Single Zoo", which is scheduled to be released on July 7, and the other is "People on the Journey", which is scheduled to be released on August 16.

He Fang didn't have time to participate in the early promotion of the movie "Single Zoo", after all, it won't be finished until the 15th.

Therefore, the actors can only be promoted in advance.

Both Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing had time to spare. Fan Bingbing had only half a month's part in "Invasion of Wall Street", so she returned to China after filming.

But does Singles Zoo need too much publicity?The new Palme d'Or award-winning film, how else do you need to actively promote it?

The domestic media automatically promoted the film all over the sky, and there was no need for the film studio to actively promote it.

He Fang only needs to attend the premiere on the 16th, but now he has to accept some interviews, even by phone.

After all, it has to be warmed up.

Of course, he still has to participate in variety shows, such as video-connected shows.

No, during the recording of "Happy Camp", the program team was connected somewhere.

At this time, He Fang was filming with the crew, and he also wondered why "Happy Camp" was recorded at night, isn't it all recorded during the day?

He Fang took a newly bought Gopro camera and connected it. This camera is much clearer than ordinary mobile phone cameras, and it is easy to carry.

Fortunately, there are optical fibers in this era, and the speed is still good.

"Hello, Director He, can you see and hear?"

He Fang saw the stage in the camera. He Jiu, Xie Na, and Li Weijia were all there, as well as the actors of "Single Zoo".

"Hello, Mr. He Jiu, Mr. Xie Na, Mr. Li Weijia, Mr. Wu Xin, Mr. Du Haitao, and the audience of "Happy Camp"."

"Wow, the directors of the Palme d'Or call me teacher, so am I equivalent to the director of the Palme d'Or?" Xie Na shouted bouncingly.

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed, and He Fang also gave a thumbs up with a smile on his face in the camera.

"Ms. Xie Na's understanding is absolutely reliable, I believe that."

He Fang said emphatically.

"Haha, what you said, Director He, will make Xie Na stunned for another half a year."

"Haha, that is, after all, I have been certified by Director He."

"Okay, let's be serious. Director He, I heard that many Cannes award-winning films are not understood by ordinary audiences. We really want to know what "Single Zoo" is about? Can ordinary audiences understand it?" He Asked for a long time.

"It must be understandable. "Single Zoo" is actually a very easy-to-understand movie. Most of the audience can understand the plot, and the criticism is very clear. There are not too many cryptic expressions. It’s on the surface.”

He Fang smiled.

"Okay, do I need to stand up and criticize anything for this movie promotion? I came out to criticize "Far Cry" last time, and then I explained to the audience that you asked me to criticize them and they didn't believe it." He Jiu asked.

"Haha, this is true. I asked Mr. He Jiu to stand up and criticize, just to stir up the topic. I just didn't expect that some people who slandered and attacked me were actually caught. But this time, I don't need it for a long time. The teacher criticized me, I need your praise, because I believe there will be a lot of criticism this time."

At this time, Li Weijia immediately answered: "It's not what you think. This time, the media praised it one-sidedly, and there was no criticism."

"Ah, is it like this? I'm not used to it. Shouldn't it be the first to praise the movie, and then criticize it after it is released and finds the problem of the movie? Haha, just kidding, in fact, no movie is perfect. No shortage, I would like someone to criticize and criticize."

"Hey, I think Director He's words are very reasonable. Just like me, I am so good but some people still criticize me. It proves that many things cannot be completely perfect." Xie Na interrupted again. Quite clever.

"Haha, I agree with what Teacher Xie Na said. After all, the movie is only 120 minutes long, and it is impossible to explain everything the director thinks clearly. Therefore, what the audience sees is only a short section of what the director did not say."

He Fang said.

"Well, besides the art of film, what else do audiences need to know?"

"In addition to art, "Single Zoo" is a beautiful woman, and there are also handsome men. Didn't you find that there are two soldiers in the movie? The two top beauties in the Chinese entertainment industry today, as well as Liu Yan, Xu Dongdong, Zhang Xinyu and other rising flowers. More Where can there be a top handsome guy like Zhu Yilong?"

He Fang introduced.

"Hey, director, why did you miss me?" Pan Binlong stood up and asked puzzledly, he is also a person who is good at cheering.

"Ah? Well, if you want to report your name, the credibility of the list of handsome men and beauties I mentioned will drop a bit. How about adding you next time?"

"Ha ha……"

……

Then everyone asked some questions about the movie, and of course some interesting things during the filming.

For example, in the trailer, we saw actors and animals together. How did you make these animals obey?
I heard that there are scenes of killing animals in the movie. Is this really killing animals?

Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing are actually playing the two sides of the same character, is this true?Why is it set up like this, did you tell the two actresses in advance?

If He Fang could choose to become an animal once, what would he choose...

When the question is almost over, how long will it take to start the last question.

"Okay, I heard that Director He is currently shooting a blockbuster movie in Hollywood. Are there any Hollywood stars for us to meet?"

This is communicated.

"Of course, we will invite Jason Statham, the leading actor of our movie, to come on stage. Hey Jason, come on." He Fang called Jason over in the camera, so they all backed away a little.

"Hi Eribardine, I'm Jason Statham, a strong handsome guy, nice to meet you all."

Jason brightened up his muscles at the right time.

"Wow, what a man." The host and audience at the recording site exclaimed.

"Jason, hello, I'm He Jiu, the host of "Happy Camp" on China Mango TV. Welcome to our show. I hope to communicate with you at the recording site next time."

He Fang is here to translate for Jason, and Jason nods.

After that, the host asked Jason a few simple questions, and then asked him if he had learned Chinese.

"Unfortunately not yet, He, why don't you teach me a few words on the spot?" Jason smiled at He Fang.

"Of course, what do you want to learn?"

"I think they are all handsome, how do you say in Chinese?" Jason asked.

"Handsome guy? Hmm...the Chinese name is...big clever..."

"Big, Cong, Ming?"

"Yes, very smart..."

"Pfft, haha..."

The recording scene of "Happy Camp" was already laughing like crazy.

"Why are they laughing?" Jason asked puzzled.

"Well, they laughed at your substandard pronunciation." He Fang explained solemnly.

"Oh, sorry, I'm just practicing for the first time, um, big, smart, bright."

"OK, that's great."

"What about praising girls as beauties?" Jason asked.

"This... is called, Da... Bi... Hua!" He Fang taught earnestly.

"Big, vi, flower?"

"Yes, Obika..."

"OK, Da, Vi, Hua...Hi, Da Zhizhi, Da Bi Hua..."

Everyone at the recording site almost collapsed with laughter, and He Jiu even crouched on the ground with a smile.

"Oh, He, it's definitely not the case. Why do they laugh so hard?"
