The bard wanders into the entertainment circle

Chapter 354 Feeling (Addition: 1825)

"For this scene, we have prepared for a year, and now it's time to test the results.

Jianmin, Chen Shuo, how do you two think this should be presented? "

One of the two is the chief choreographer, and the other is the best performer. Zhang Yimou asked the two of them as soon as he came up.

Zhang Jianmin said: "Actually, if you want to talk about the real drumming, it starts after Liu Tutou sprinkles all the broad beans."

The original plot was that the blind girl assassinated the chief catcher, but later I felt that the chief catcher and Chen catcher appeared in Mudanfang at the same time, which was a bit difficult to explain.

Coupled with the idea of ​​wanting to add a play to Andy Lau, the hero of this scene was replaced by Liu Butou.

There will also be a plot in the back, where Liu Tutou trains the younger sister's hearing and knife-throwing skills in the same way, to echo back and forth, and to show their father-daughter love.

"The previous two shots were just a test, but you don't need to deliberately pursue long shots, just take a panoramic shot.

After the broad beans are sprinkled, it is time to perform drum drums.

I think, let Chen Shuo start to perform from here, and then shoot it in one shot as a base.

After that, Yi Fei performed as much as possible on this basis, and then used it to cut and replace the part where Chen Shuo showed his face. "

Zhang Yimou said: "A film can be shot for more than four minutes at most, with Xiaoding's ability, there is no waste at all, and it can be controlled to 3 minutes and 50 seconds.

Can our dance be condensed to such a short length? "

Chen Shuo nodded and said: "It's absolutely fine, in the first one and a half minutes, I will slowly show the basic movements of various water sleeve drumming.

The middle 1 minute shows various high-difficulty drumming movements.

In the last 1 minute and 20 seconds, drums are played at the fastest speed, and you can hit as many times as you can. "

"Okay, you and Jianmin arrange the movements." Zhang Yimou said to Zhao Xiaoding again: "Xiaoding, you arrange the camera trajectory according to their movements.

Show the best you can. "

"Okay." The three of Chen Shuo nodded.

Next, Chen Shuo rehearsed again and again, trying to show the characteristics of water sleeve drumming as much as possible according to the time he allocated.

And Zhao Xiaoding watched from the side, thinking about what angle to shoot in his mind.

At the end of the day, Chen Shuo gradually found the best rhythm, but Zhao Xiaoding kept hesitating.

He found that the best angle for a shot to the end is where Liu Butou is sitting, and shoot from his perspective.

But this can't perfectly show the beauty of water sleeve drumming.

If you want to show the inspiration of the water sleeves and at the same time take one shot to the end, you need to follow Chen Shuo's movements.

But that was too difficult, and it was also a great test for the tacit understanding between Zhao Xiaoding and Chen Shuo.

Seeing that Chen Shuo has been able to skillfully control the dance within 3 minutes and 50 seconds, and the whole set of dances is done smoothly and freely.

Zhao Xiaoding planned to take a panoramic shot from Liu Tutou's perspective first, to see the effect.

Wait until tomorrow to try to fix the perspective on Chen Shuo.Capture his movement tendency and the process of his water sleeves flushing and retracting.

After one shot, everyone looked at the final shooting effect.

I found that although this kind of stage presentation effect is also very shocking, it always feels a bit weak in the movie.

You have to move the camera to look good.

"Actually, this effect still looks good, but let's try again tomorrow. How does the camera tracking method work?"

Although only one shot was taken in one day, Zhang Yimou was not in a hurry.

Slow work and meticulous work, we must shoot this dance well.

On the second day, Zhao Xiaoding and Chen Shuo experimented with the trajectory captured by the camera, and decided to put the origin on him.

When he flew out of the water sleeve, the camera immediately shifted to the top of the water sleeve, moving with the stretch of the water sleeve.

Ask the photography team to set up the camera as if it was hanging from a wire, and design a moving trajectory. A special group of people will pull the camera and follow Chen Shuo.

And Chen Shuo had to get used to the feeling that the camera was close at hand, so as not to hit the camera during the dance.

It took another day for the design alone, and the formal shooting was done at night.

Looking at the picture in front of them, as if they were dancing with Chen Shuo and beating the drums together, everyone couldn't help being excited for a while.

"This kind of immersive feeling is really good, but it lacks the sense of grandeur." After watching the film, Zhang Yimou rubbed his chin and said, "I will design it again tomorrow, and I need to zoom out from time to time to capture the entire scene.

From the moment Chen Shuo took out his sleeves, the camera zoomed out, and after the water sleeves hit the drum, the entire stage was presented on the screen.

And when he retracted his sleeves, the camera moved forward sharply and returned to him. "

On the third day, I adjusted the trajectory of the lens according to what Zhang Yimou said, and after shooting it again, the effect really came out.

Even Zhao Xiaoding was ingenious, let the camera follow the water sleeves, and clearly hit the water sleeves on the drum surface, and the slight waves on the drum skin appeared in front of the audience.

Then the camera moved across an arc, and tracked Shui Xiu back to Chen Shuo's body.

That kind of far and near, the alternation of macro and details are all presented in this mirror image, which gives people a strong sense of shock.

"Okay, that's how it feels!" Zhang Yimou clapped his hands excitedly, pointing at the monitor and shouted.

"Shoot, shoot according to this feeling!"

Hearing this, Chen Shuo and Zhao Xiaoding could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

For three consecutive days, Chen Shuo cooperated with the performance over and over again every day.

Every performance has to do its best.

And Zhao Xiaoding was thinking about how to adjust the trajectory of the camera even in his dreams.

Now, finally, the charter has been set.

Next, you only need to follow the steps step by step, and this scene will not be difficult.

Since this dance was performed by Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei, it was impossible to do it in one shot.

But Zhao Xiaoding has tried his best to erase the fragmented sense of editing, so that the editor can edit at some turning points, so as not to destroy the overall feeling.

The subsequent assassination was basically copying the original performance of Chen Shuo and Yu Bo.

Liu Dehua practiced the movements for a few days, and he simply and neatly knocked down the water sleeve flying sword, and broke the younger sister's water sleeve with sharp claw skills.

Then he grabbed it directly with his backhand, without any delay.

In the play, the two are father and daughter after all. Although they need their daughter as bait, they will still subconsciously avoid her from being hurt.

This kind of crisp fighting is a kind of father's love for his daughter.

It is also to lay the groundwork for uncovering the mystery in the future.

The beauty song that followed was much simpler than the water sleeve drumming. Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei danced a few times in a relaxed manner and passed it.

At the end of the month, the crew moved to the mountain city of Yongchuan Bamboo Sea to film the pursuit of the bamboo sea and the battle between the government and Feidaomen.
