This director needs to apologize

Chapter 232 Give you a chance and you’ll make the most of it

In early April, the Tara Grassland is full of green, the sky is clear and the clouds are clear, and the spring breeze is refreshing. It is a good time of the year.

Yu Nan rides on his horse and rides slowly, with two forests on his left and right sides, making it look like a spring outing.

This is of course an illusion caused by the language of the camera. In fact, Mulan attaches great importance to her first border patrol. Not only did she send scouts to the front, rear and left, but all the soldiers were armed to the teeth.

The reason for arranging this slow-paced drama after the school scene has three main intentions.

First, the so-called civil and military ways are relaxed. Since the opening scene is fast-paced and has a large amount of information, the tempo must be slowed down at the fifteen to twenty-minute point of the movie to let the audience breathe a sigh of relief.

Secondly, the revamped version of "Mulan" changed the era setting to the early Tang Dynasty, and Chen Yiming was unwilling to use narration and subtitles to advance the plot, so he specially arranged a horse riding scene on the prairie to guide the audience through the plot.

Thirdly, in the previous scenes, the shots were relatively "full", either with mist, a large number of people, or zoomed-in close-ups. In terms of viewing experience, it is necessary to switch to a different style to give the audience a sense of "transparency." .

Cui Fang is quite experienced in this aspect. Through large-angle aerial shots of the grassland and super long-range shots from high and low camera positions, he fully conveys the sense of emptiness and loneliness.

After the long shot preparation is completed, the camera cuts to the mid-range follow-up camera position, showing a line of cavalry walking meanderingly.

The leader is Lin Geng, and behind him are Yu Nan and Lin Feng. The viewfinder is centered on Yu Nan. The cavalry behind them draws a diagonal line that gradually becomes sparser from near to far toward the upper right of the screen. The upper left In the distance, rolling mountains are faintly visible.

Due to the viewing angle, this section cannot be recorded live and can only be dubbed later.

However, the shooting process is the same as before. First, one shot is taken to the end, and then close-ups from various angles are taken.

Because it involves lip-syncing, Yu Nan and Er Lin need to perform this scene several times, and they must not make mistakes in their lines every time.

For the entire moving scene, Chen Yiming simply did not build a prison tent. Instead, the crew transformed into a mobile fleet, equipped with a total of thirty-five vehicles of various types including RVs, trailers, camera trucks, jeeps, and dining cars.

Now Chen Yiming is sitting in an open jeep, located in front and left of the cavalry. There is a monitor in the car. If you turn your head, you can see the actors directly.

In front of the right side of the cavalry is the main camera car with a sturdy chassis. On the car is the first camera position controlled by Cui Fang.

On the outside of the jeep, there is a cantilever camera car transformed from a fire truck, which serves as the second tour position and is photographed by Qi Yu.

After the shooting started, Lin Geng, who was taking the lead, turned his horse to the left, slowed down and waited for Yu Nanchao to come up to level with him.

"Brother Lan, I've asked about it all. The man named Cheng is not easy to get along with. He has been replaced by seven or eight superior officials like a revolving door.

His men were deliberately looking for trouble that day, so we have to be careful not to be tricked by him. "

Yu Nan showed no reaction and continued to urge the horse forward with an expressionless face, while his eyes were like a hawk, vigilantly observing the movements around him.

Lin Feng, who was behind her, kicked the horse in the belly, caught up from the right, and moved forward side by side with Lin Geng holding Yu Nan between them.

He raised his voice a little and said to Lin Geng across Yu Nan, "We are new here, so we shouldn't make random enemies.

As far as I know, Brigade Commander Cheng has made great achievements in the army for more than ten years. He not only speaks highly of his direct subordinates, but also has great prestige in the entire military camp. "

Lin Geng was unconvinced and said, "You've got quite a lot of merit. He's clearly a reckless man. It's our unlucky fate to be assigned to the same captaincy as him."

Lin Feng no longer paid attention to Lin Geng, but turned to Yu Nan and said, "Brother Lan, it is said that Brigade Commander Cheng is famous for being unruly and unruly, so he is not liked by his superiors. The strange thing is that his superiors are replaced very diligently, and They are all promoted.

I have a guess, I'm afraid there is a reason for what Brigade Commander Cheng did. Does Brother Lan still remember what happened to your and my father's generation back then? "

Yu Nan's eyes flashed, and he turned his head to meet Lin Feng's gaze. Lin Feng continued, "When Li Weigong went to DTZ, Uncle Mu led our children from Baozi as the vanguard of the army, took advantage of the foggy weather to raid the enemy camp, and almost captured Jieli Khan alive.

However, after the war, rewards were given based on merit. However, due to an inexplicable impeachment, the uncle's meritorious service became equal to the merit. It is a pity that the lives of fifteen fellow villagers, as well as the uncle's entire artistic career, were all in vain.

Later we found out that our uncle's achievements were falsely claimed by the clan, and the secretary who was guarding the Chinese army suddenly turned into a brave man who broke through the Jieli Camp. It was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. "

Lin Geng listened impatiently and interrupted angrily, "Why are you talking about these old sesame seeds and rotten millet? My father and the others are fighting DTZ, and now we are facing the Western Turks. We are not from the same group, okay?"

Lin Feng seemed not to have heard, and continued to face Yu Nan and said, "The clans are overbearing and the talents are hard to achieve. From what I have seen and heard, the situation of my uncle and the others 20 years ago has become worse now.

In the 13 or 4 years since he joined the army, he has only been promoted one level. This is a natural move from infantry battalion to cavalry battalion. In my opinion, changing from infantry camp captain to scout brigade commander is not necessarily a promotion.

Not to mention that the number of subordinates has been reduced by more than half, the danger of the scouts has greatly increased.

On the contrary, there are many more opportunities to make meritorious deeds. It is a pity that whoever gets the credit has a lot of tricks.

This approach is exactly the same as when Uncle Mu was the commander of the local government army, but he was able to skip many of his colleagues in the border army and the imperial army and directly become the vanguard of the army.

You will be blamed for death, but I will be promoted and made rich. This has never been the case throughout the ages. "

Yu Nan pursed her lips, and the muscles on her cheeks tensed up.

Lin Geng on the other side also understood a little bit, "I told you why as soon as we entered the camp gate, they took away half of our team, leaving only those of us who were good at riding and formed a team, and then we didn't even sit on the hot seat. , and sent us out on patrol.

That triangular-eyed captain really has bad intentions! "

Lin Feng said to Yu Nan sincerely, "Brother Lan, the lessons of our elders are still vivid in our minds. We must be more cautious."

Yu Nan nodded slightly, then squinted and looked into the distance, suddenly stopped his mount, raised his right hand to his mouth, and blew a sharp whistle.

Er Lin immediately became alert. Lin Feng moved his horse forward, Lin Geng moved his horse backward, and the cavalry brigade behind the three people skillfully gathered forward to form a loose circular formation.

"Crack!"

Chen Yiming picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Everyone performed very well. Let's do it again."

Then he said to Yu Nan, "Teacher Yu, if you can, please try a slightly more open acting method next time. I want to have a comparison."

Yu Nan simply nodded in agreement.

Then Chen Yiming said to Lin Feng, "Brother Lin, your lines are relatively long and have a lot of narrative content, so please give me more rhythm and variety.

Your profession is a marksman, but I have no rules for the character design. The final effect is up to you. "

Chen Yiming's words were polite on the surface, but the underlying accusation was already ready to come out.

There is a tool man in the script, but as an actor you cannot be satisfied with just playing a tool man. This kind of ambition is, to be honest, not as good as the extras in Hengcheng.

I've given you the opportunity, and you have to make the most of it!
