Huang Yuetai and Huang Jiahui were nervously filming the horse team. The crew was playing with equipment on the ancient road in the distance. A crane's boom was lying flat on the ground. Lu Le and Shao Shuaijun were spinning around a cool camera on the boom.
"Panavision camera, Suha lens, wow, what a big treasure!" Lu Le touched it around excitedly.
Shao Shuaijun also saw this kind of professional luxury camera for the first time. Digital photography began to rise around 2000, which had a huge impact on film cameras. But real professional photographers still like film, and only movies shot on film are the best.
It has that unique movie flavor.
Panavision is synonymous with high definition and is widely used in North America, but few people in Asia have used it because it is too expensive. In the mainland, only directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang have used Panavision to shoot movies.
"Painted Skin" uses 35mm film, and an ordinary camera is enough to capture brilliant images. In order to pursue more accurate and stable images, this camera is the best choice. This camera was specially rented from Hong Kong and flown over by plane.
, extremely precious.
"Lao Lu, do you need a hand for this thing?" Shao Shuaijun's research on cameras is more about digital cameras. When he had the opportunity to hold a handheld camera in his previous life, it was already in the future. Digital movies were widely developed and shooting costs were low.
Digital cameras are used by many directors.
Lu Le rubbed his palms fiercely: "Why don't your hands feel right? I have played with this big baby several times. When I went to Hong Kong, I used it several times. The texture of the pictures I took is quite good.
And when I think about how expensive this big baby is, I feel excited and extremely happy. Just like some people like to drive good cars, we photographers like to play with good cameras."
"Haha, don't be so happy. If we get an IMAX camera here, you won't have a heart attack." Shao Shuaijun looked at Lu Le's anxious look and couldn't help but laugh.
"Director, if you really bring it, I can resist it steadily."
"Fuck you, I can crush your small body." Li Chaofeng, the second group photography assistant, said with disdain. He is Lu Le's old assistant.
"You know nothing. If you can bring it, I can carry it."
"Don't fight with me. I can't get it anyway. There are only a few of them in the world, so just blow it away."
The two bickered, but Shao Shuaijun's heart moved: "IMAX? Why isn't "Painted Skin" shown in IMAX?"
The full name of IMAX is Image-Maximum, which means the largest image. It is a movie projection system that can project larger and higher resolution films than traditional negatives. The IMAX screen is very huge, and the impact on people is also huge. Usually
IMAX movies are all ordinary movies converted into 70mm film through DMR technology before they can be shown.
70mm film is ten times the size of ordinary 35mm film, and its sensitivity will be several times that of ordinary film, which means that the clarity is greatly improved.
Shao Shuaijun is a reborn person. Of course he knows that in future movies, IMAX has begun to develop steadily and has a tendency to replace traditional movies. However, digital IMAX projectors have not yet appeared. Film projection is used, and the cost of a single IMAX projection copy is at least 30,000 US dollars. It is completely
of luxury goods.
More importantly, in China, except for the Heping Film Capital, which built an IMAX theater in 2003, there are only a few science and technology museums with IMAX projection systems. In other words, if "Painted Skin" is made into an IMAX movie, it will only
It will serve as a gimmick unless it is released in developed countries such as Europe and the United States.
"The script of "Painted Skin" was simplified by me, and the scene began to turn into a real big production, with an actual investment of 200 million yuan. Why can't it be attempted in Europe and the United States? China's first IMAX movie, why can't it be "Painted Skin"!" Shao Shuaijun
At this moment, my heart was beating wildly and I couldn't stop throbbing.
This year is only 2005, and it is not realistic to shoot IMAX movies, but it can be converted into IMAX movies using DMR technology after regular shooting. The biggest enjoyment of IMAX is the audio-visual effect. Isn't this the pursuit of "Painted Skin"? Shao Shuaijun suddenly felt,
As long as I shoot "Painted Skin" perfectly and rely on the reputation I have accumulated in North America, it will not be difficult to land in North America, and then naturally launch the IMAX-DMR version of "Painted Skin".
China's first IMAX-DMR movie, created by Shao Shuaijun.
Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.
"It seems that I have to pay extra attention to "Painted Skin"!"
Shao Shuaijun has always been a fan of commercial movies. The so-called business, if there is no high technology, can it still be called a commercial movie? IMAX, 3D, and 3D-MAX are all knowledge that Shao Shuaijun needs to learn, and they are also the future movie trends. If you don’t take advantage of "Painted Skin"
》This is such a good opportunity, I would be sorry for myself if I am familiar with IMAX.
With this thought in his heart, Shao Shuaijun was filled with fighting spirit.
The desert marching scene was shot very quickly. In order to simplify the film, Shao Shuaijun abandoned the original scene of fortune-telling with copper coins. In the original version, this scene is so mysterious that even the Chinese may not understand it, let alone the Americans. Marching in the desert
For half an hour, the actors were all in a state of embarrassment. After cheering up, they felt like they had gone through many years of experience and had a strong atmosphere of the battlefield.
So it passed almost in one go.
The picture of the monitor was transmitted through the digital camera. Shao Shuaijun was fascinated by the shooting effect of Panavision. It is indeed a professional camera in the world. The quality of the picture seems to be overwhelming. Moreover, there are still some slight differences between the digital camera and the real lens. The real
The images recorded on film must be more textured.
After the marching scene, it was time to shoot the martial arts scene with real bullets. This part was not that easy to shoot.
Dong Wei designed three sets of battlefield martial arts scenes for real bullets. The rehearsals were very exciting, but there were always some flaws after the shooting started. The coordination between the actors and the camera was a bit off, and it was always a bit slow.
"Card!"
Shao Shuaijun called the crew to stop, beckoned for the photographer and action director, and the actors came over: "The cooperation just now was very good, and the fight was exciting, but there was a problem with the rhythm. There was an obvious pause after each move. These should be two
The reasons are: one is that the actor has to change to the next action after performing an action, and there must be a pause in the middle; the second is that the design of the action is too focused on angles, thus losing the naturalness."
He looked at Dong Wei and said: "Director Dong, please rehearse this action. My requirement is that it is simple and fast. It seems like we are really fighting, not trying to be cool." In fact, Shao Shuaijun did not say the subtext, Dong Wei's
The movements are nice to watch, but they just feel a bit artificial, losing the original hardcore flavor and not capturing the softness well.
Dong Wei frowned and nodded, thinking deeply about how to change his behavior. Shao Shuaijun directly asked Zhen Bullet: "Do you know about parkour?"
"Parkour? City Walk?"
"Yes, that's it. You must have seen last year's "Violent Street 13". The parkour action in it is very clean and neat. I hope you can add this style to the next martial arts. It is simple, fast and neat.
, just like Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, lightning fast..."
