Chapter 21 Shooting

"What have you done!" the voice of the military commander's father played by Huang Hong was extremely high.

"..." Zhang Shangwu, played by Chen Kun, did not speak, with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Do you know that because of your absence, your acting company commander has sacrificed his life during flood fighting and disaster relief? Do you know how ashamed I am today?! Do you know how ashamed I was when I announced the commendation to the troops?

I hope this honor is mine?! My son, when the people needed you most, you were not at your post! I, I..."

Facing his father's loud reprimand, Zhang Shangwu was full of shock, but he could not refute a word.

"Okay, okay, didn't you see that your son is also injured? Why don't you ask?" Teacher Song happened to appear at this time and took a glass of water to put out the fire.

"It's all because of you! Look what he looks like now? I really wish I didn't have this son!" A glass of water couldn't extinguish the anger in his heart.

"I don't want to be your son either!" Zhang Shangwu finally couldn't hold it in any longer and began to resist...

Stuck! At this moment, Wu Xiang, the director, shouted stop. This was not the first time he shouted stop. Every time he came to this place, Wu Xiang was not satisfied.

This scene is about the male protagonist Zhang Shangwu encountering a flood on his way back after asking for leave to find a job after being discharged from the army. He also actively tried to save people, but he did not appear at the post where he was supposed to be. When he returned,

At home, he was scolded by his father, who was a military commander, so he was a little unjust. To be honest, this scene was really hard to grasp.

But the situation now is not very good. Not long after we started shooting, we encountered a bottleneck. I failed many times. This film is not cheap.

This filming process does not develop according to the plot. It is shot entirely according to the plot. That is too inefficient. Now we shoot the indoor scenes first, and then shoot the outdoor scenes, because there are many places that need to be set up.

Ah, this is because Bayi Factory has its own location, otherwise it would be troublesome.

"Xiao Wu, I think it's okay." At this time, Mr. Zhai, who was in the position of assistant director, spoke. In fact, the duties of assistant directors in China are generally not to participate in filming. They all do some casting and scheduling.

The work was arranged, but Wu Xiang broke the rules this time and let Mr. Zhai, the assistant director, take the lead. He was just like a student watching from the side, so his constant shouting "stuck" is indeed a bit...

"Everyone, let's take a break and have a drink of water." Wu Xiang is quite a good person. There are many heavyweights here, but Wu Xiang is not afraid. He just listens to him saying: "This place is about drama.

, is where I think our play can better explore the character of the characters. Why do I say that? Because the role of the military commander’s father represents the older generation. What is the symbolic meaning? It is the old ideas of the past.

, he is stubborn, rigid, disciplined, results-oriented, and makes people feel unfree. What about the role of this son? To put it simply, he is our generation. Our generation has accepted many new things, has ideas, and is rebellious.

, yearning for freedom. Therefore, there will be conflicts between them, and there will be..."

Before Wu Xiang finished speaking, Brother Kun interrupted: "You mean, my rebellious mood is not enough?"

Most people would think so, but what Wu Xiang said surprised everyone.

"No!" Wu Xiang refused directly.

"No?" It's all a bit strange, especially Brother Kun.

Wu Xiang smiled slightly and said: "In fact, it's just the opposite. Brother Kun, you have passed."

"Passed?" Brother Kun frowned again.

"Yes, it's over. Brother Kun, these are father and son. No matter how much you say, no matter how rebellious you are, it's still a contradiction among the people. We can't fight and kill. What did you do just now?

The expression, I didn’t see that kind of respect for the father, even if you acted angry, but I didn’t see that kind of thing, that kind of..." After saying this, Wu Xiang couldn't go on, because he remembered, Brother Kun

It's a single-parent family, and he has a little bit of love for his father, so this thing...

However, after Wu Xiang said this, many people had other things in their minds, but they couldn't say anything.

"Xiangzi, I understand, but in my aspect..." Brother Kun does have difficulties in this aspect. He hasn't experienced father's love in many years.

"I'm not telling you why you have to be in that state." Huang Yanbo was also watching. This guy and Wu Xiang were not that close.

Wu Xiang immediately gave an explanation, "This state is the current state, the psychological state of young people today. This is also the key to whether our movie can make money!"

"This, this can make money?" Huang Hong couldn't help it.

"A sense of substitution! Today's young people's psychological thoughts, only if they conform to this and that, will they have a sense of substitution, so that they will like our movies, and young people will become the main force of consumption, especially in the film market, so

Only by meeting the psychological state of young people and making them like our movies can we have a chance to make money." Wu Xiang issued another 'theory'.

"What about Hollywood..." Mr. Zhai wanted to ask about this, because Wu Xiang's theism shocked him too much before.

"Hollywood uses sound effects, special effects, and superb shooting techniques to make people feel like they are there." Wu Xiang simply fooled him. If this was ideologically speaking, Wu Xiang would have had to talk about it for several days.

Make it clear to them.

"Then, what should we do now?" Huang Yanbo also knew about Brother Kun's situation, and he had more or less thought of that reason.

What else can I do? Just think about it!

Wu Xiang was thinking and looking around. When he saw Teacher Song Chunli, who had been silent, he slapped his thigh. "There is a way!"

"Brother Kun, you are like this..." This guy Wu Xiang began to give instructions face-to-face...

God Ike!

"What have you done!" the voice of the military commander's father played by Huang Hong was extremely high.

..."I don't want to be your son either!"...

"Oh! What are you talking about! Really, is there such a son and me?" Teacher Song came out to put out the fire again...

OK!

Finally passed!

The method used by Wu Xiang is actually very simple. When filming Chen Kun, he was asked to face Teacher Song Chunli instead of Huang Hong, that is, he yelled at "Mom"! Don't tell me, this trick

It works really well, his eyes and expressions are so spot on. Of course, this requires camera switching, a panoramic view and a close-up of the character. This depends on the post-editing.

With such a simple move, this hurdle has passed. Not only is Wu Xiang satisfied, but other people, mainly the seniors, have also changed their views on Wu Xiang a lot. Don’t forget, Wu Xiang is still a

He is unknown. He is just a twenty-year-old boy who has never been in any movies. Looking at it now, this boy is quite reliable and not only good at talking.

The filming was proceeding in an orderly manner, and other scenes went smoothly. The literary and opera aspects were relatively relaxed. After all, all the actors had majored in majors, which allowed Wu Xiang to save a lot of time and cost. However, the most painful part for him was

.

Exterior shots, Wu Xiang's plan definitely required a lot of financial support for this aspect. Even if the Bayi Factory tried its best to help him, the money seemed to be spent like water.

"Why do you have to take pictures like this?"

In a two-story building at the Bayi Factory Photography Base, Teacher Mu Deyuanmu was discussing lens design with Wu Xiang.

Lens design is extremely critical in film shooting. In fact, to put it bluntly, a film is just a picture. If your camera position is not designed well, and it is not clear whether it is panning or zooming, then the film will not be complete no matter how big the talent is.

Calf.

"Because it's so cool to shoot like this!" Wu Xiang said something ambiguous.

At this time, the crew of "The Great Flood" has been divided into three groups. One group is filming disaster relief scenes without the protagonist. The acting company commander played by senior brother Li Jia will die here, and the other group is the group where Huang Yanbo is, who

In the end, he died heroically because he kept carrying sandbags on the embankment.

The last group, which is the group where the protagonist Chen Kun is, is also the group that Wu Xiang personally supervises.

Wu Xiang had to design the shot this time himself, because this time was unusual, they found a helicopter as a prop for the shooting!

Helicopters are not common these days. Although the helicopters in our country are a bit crude, is it good to have this thing? Besides, it is not crude, and its combat effectiveness is five!

This time, through Huang Tuanzuo's relationship, Wu Xiang borrowed a Mi-171. This thing looks cheap, but it's not cheap. People said that you are doing good things for the disaster area by making movies, so we'll just take it for a ride.

Now that you have the money, you can pay 30,000 yuan for pulling it out.

Wu Xiang was so frightened that he almost peed. Isn't this too greasy?

In fact, people really don't want much.

The so-called style that Wu Xiang talks about is actually the style of Hollywood. Don’t you see that every time Black Hawk appears in a Hollywood movie, highly infectious music plays?

How to show off this style?

Wu Xiang's idea was to pull the camera up to create a first-person perspective effect, and then use the helicopter to look up from the bottom, which would create a shocking effect. The scene designed by Wu Xiang was that the protagonist Zhang Shangwu and the people affected by the disaster were

Floods surrounded the roof of the building, and just when they were about to despair, suddenly a Mi-171 appeared in their field of vision.

Don't look at the Mi 171 dirt, but Wu Xiang is just going to give a big close-up. Even if it is dirt, it doesn't look modern enough, but we still have to shoot it more aggressively. I borrowed it with great difficulty, and I will pull it up once.

I have thirty thousand...

In "On Stranger Tides", there are also scenes of helicopter disaster relief, but the presentation method at that time was very old-fashioned. The commander gave the order, then the helicopter was dispatched, and finally walked around to save people, and then it was over. To be honest, this method was very awkward.

It's down-to-earth. In the future, let alone overseas, it won't be shot like this in China.
Chapter completed!
