Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 87 I didn’t expect to meet you here
Chen Pingsheng's inspiration for this shooting came from Jeff Wall. What he is best at is appropriation and setting.

He is also a representative figure in conceptual photography. Of course, for today's world, this approach is a bit too advanced.

Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a madman.

The aesthetic appreciation of art also needs to be developed step by step, so Chen Pingsheng will not copy the works of his predecessors, but chooses to combine them with movies to create a different feeling.

He first chose a scene described in the outline, and then started drawing on the manuscript paper that Lin Hao asked the prop team to bring over.

After a while, a simple composition was drawn.

Lin Hao and Li Peng stepped forward to watch. What was drawn on the paper was a messy room. The windows and doors were nailed with wooden boards and plastic sheets, which seemed to mean closure and imprisonment.The cracks on the wall are like huge wounds that cannot heal themselves. They seem to symbolize the pain that those seemingly humorous but actually terrifying stories in the movie bring to everyone.

The drawers were opened and the cabinets were messed up, the bed was torn to reveal the cotton, and all kinds of broken clothes, quilts and torn sheets were piled on the floor.

There are also group portraits of people torn together, and the protagonist squatting on the cabinet in the upper left corner.

As a whole, they are not only an essential element of the beauty of the picture, but also an indispensable expression tool for this movie.

The first time Lin Hao saw this scene, he had already thought of the scene during the shooting. In an instant, goosebumps appeared on his arms, reflecting his uneasy heart.

"Okay! Let's use this." He agreed immediately, feeling happy that the poster was finalized.

Afterwards, he said to Chen Pingsheng: "Today we are filming the last scene here. When the filming is finished, I will introduce you to everyone. Tomorrow we will take out the poster."

"Okay, no problem." Chen Pingsheng nodded in agreement. His thoughts were confirmed and he felt relaxed.

"Teacher Li, how is the progress of the prop team now?" After Lin Hao arranged the shooting, he went to see the scene first.

Li Peng led Chen Pingsheng back to the chair, picked up a bottle of water and handed it to him and said, "Teacher Chen, have a drink of water. You are so young, you must have graduated not long ago."

He looked at the young man in front of him and felt that he was about the same age as Yabu.

"Yes, I just graduated." Chen Pingsheng took the water and answered with a smile.

"Beiying or Zhongchuan?" Seeing that he was so capable, Li Peng's first thought was of these two schools.

"No, I'm from Huachuan." Seeing his misunderstanding, Chen Pingsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although South China Media is not bad, it is not a famous school, and it is naturally not comparable to Beijing Film and Television and China Media.

"Oh, awesome." These two words are certainly not talking about Hua Chuan.

Chen Pingsheng saw that Li Peng was not an aloof person, so he asked curiously: "By the way, Teacher Li, who are the actors in this movie?"

Li Peng smiled: "Who else can it be? An old friend."

Hearing this, Chen Pingsheng understood immediately.It is well known that Lin Hao likes to use the same actors, on the one hand, their acting skills are stable, and on the other hand, they have good relationships.I think the protagonist this time is still the veteran actor who has been working with him since "Crazy Stone".Just chatting about one thing or another, the props team is basically finished with their work.They built an empty house on the open space on the set. The lighting team placed various high-power large lights on the roof of the shed and set up many small lights as backup.

At this time, the art team, under the leadership of the art director, began to fill in the details of the room. Since the film is highly industrialized, a dedicated person will be responsible for every detail.

As the main person in charge, the director will naturally work very hard and have to arrange all the affairs properly.Therefore, the general crew will be equipped with multiple assistant directors to serve as a bridge of communication. Some of them have real power and can directly arrange the work of other groups.Some are simply mouthpieces, responsible only for trivial matters.

If the director is lazy, he can leave everything to the assistant director and enjoy his leisure time. This is also the case with many TV drama crews.

Because the ratings guarantees are all fresh meat, the director has very little say in front of them, so he simply leaves the work to the assistant directors and lets them do the work, while he fishes and gets paid.

Anyway, when many people watch TV series, they don't actually pay attention to who the director is. All their eyes are focused on the actors.

However, in recent years, more and more high-quality TV dramas have gained a lot of ratings, and they are also telling the audience and the market how important a good director and screenwriter is.

The director is the soul of the crew, and the script is the bottom line of the work. This sentence is true at all.

Chen Pingsheng was sitting in front of the monitor watching everyone busy, and he really felt the charm of the director's profession.This is the pleasure of having everything in my hands and controlling it at will. The director can control everyone on the crew at any time. He is like a chess player who can arrange each piece in the most suitable place.This desire for control will stimulate people's dopamine. For ambitious people, this feeling is as fascinating as a gambling addiction.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a noise outside, which sounded like a quarrel.

"What's wrong? Xiao Wu, go and have a look." Lin Hao asked the assistant director to check the situation for him. If there is any problem, it is not easy for him to show up.

Because once some people see a celebrity, they will make a fuss over even a small matter, as if they can extort more money.It is as naive as the person who said on Weibo that being beaten by the son of the richest man in the country can buy a house.In fact, the reality is exactly the opposite. People will find the best lawyers so that you can only get the minimum amount of money within the maximum period stipulated by the law.

Assistant director Xiao Wu came back from outside after a while, walked to Lin Hao and said: "Director Lin, the prop transporter accidentally hit Wang Zeze's foot. Then he got angry and said he was going to the hospital and stopped filming. .”

Lin Hao frowned. Although he believed that the new movie would definitely be a hit at the box office, the producers and investors did not all think so.They believe that the market is unpredictable. After all, Director Lin has not been filming for so many years. If they can add a popular star to play a supporting role, it is an insurance policy.In order to get more investment and achieve the big scene he wanted, he agreed.

Of course, the supporting role is limited to a few lines, and giving him a spot on the poster will be his final compromise.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zeze showed up before his part started. He was very angry and quarreled with the makeup or props every day.But every time Lin Hao showed up, he would calm down again, as if he was the one who had been wronged, just like a concubine in the Qing court looking for favor.

If it weren't for the sake of his backstage company and the fact that he only had two days to shoot the scene, he would have told this guy to get out.

But he didn't have time to talk to this kid at the moment. All his thoughts were on the scene in front of him, so he said to the assistant director Xiao Wu: "You go find Mr. Zhang and comfort him. Don't let him make trouble. We'll finish filming today." Let him go quickly."

Mr. Zhang was the producer of this movie, and assistant director Xiao Wu nodded. As soon as he turned around, he thought about where to find it.

He raised his head and searched around, and suddenly saw Li Peng behind the monitor. His eyes lit up and he immediately ran towards the monitor.
