What made Xiao Ran depressed still happened. It was not that Wang Jiawei spent 20 million Hongguo and then spent 30 million to shoot "The Legend of A Fei" like a flowing stream, but that of the crew of "Spy Transformation 2".
As the producer of "Spy Change 2", he naturally had to go for a walk often. But on this day, he found that the director didn't know how to deal with it in many places. Perhaps it was better to say that the processing method was too soft.
Of course it's soft. The protagonist of "Spy Change" cares about a very tough person. If the softening method is definitely softening the film. This is not what Xiao Ran wants, so he had to helplessly guide the new director on the set.
This new director is not very new. He has filmed three dramas before, all of which are small productions worth more than 10 million yuan. He is quite good at the action theme, but in literary dramas...
Most of the outdoor scenes of this film are in the mainland. Currently filming local scenes, I will go to the mainland to shoot. This scene is a plot of entrusting my own son. The previous action scenes were indeed very exciting, but they were in the literary scene.
The director really can't control it. This director has similar problems with Chen Musheng. Chen Musheng cannot put literary dramas and action dramas together, but this director simply goes more extreme. Even if a scene is operated with ordinary techniques, it is very sensational.
The play is not well controlled.
This made Xiao Ran feel the urge to vomit blood. People value all-round talent in civil and military affairs. For the director, the one who can do this is a genius. But he is not as sensitive as a literary opera, even the protagonist, Fa Ge, is the one who can do this.
They all felt deeply depressed.
Xiao Ran only watched a few scenes to the location of the camera position, and then he probably knew that this guy was really not good at literary dramas. This is not only not good at it, it just filmed literary dramas as action dramas, but also very
The intense one is only known by this director named Liang Jun, who always likes to let the camera move.
It's over, it's over! Xiao Ran's feelings are like this. He thought he must have to help Liang Jun match a director who is good at literary dramas, and he also had to find it before the crew rushed to the mainland. As for the scene in front of him, he had to use Xiao Ran
Come and do it for you.
I have to admit that Xiao Ran is indeed becoming more and more capable of directors now. He only thought about it for a while and had a way to deal with it. He used photography director Huang Taile, art director Zhang Shuping, recording director, musician, Fa Ge and Yan who
The middle-aged actor of the agent called over.
After pondering for a while, he glanced at Liang Jun, called over, and then ordered Huang Taile: "Wait and let the two machines move and operate, one of them needs to be carried by hand. I want that kind of cold and sad, and at the same time
Very subtle lens…”
Huang Taile waved to the side, and Liu Weiqiang rushed over and asked in confusion: "Master, what's wrong?"
Xiao Ran couldn't help feeling a little funny. Liu Weiqiang is Huang Taile's apprentice. The last time Liu Weiqiang was very successful in acting as a photography director for "Carmen, Mong Kok". With his identity, it was impossible for him to be a photographer for Huang Taile.
But Huang Taile is his master, and Liang Jun really needs at least one handheld camera master. Liu Weiqiang's talent for portability in "Carmen, Mong Kok" has been recognized, so this future famous commercial director was recruited.
It's right.
Huang Taile and Xiao Ran were very impressed. If Duke could only show the highest level by partnering with Wang Jiawei, then the person in front of him could have extremely high performance as long as he met a good director, and could even indirectly manipulate the director.
Huang Taile won as many awards as Duke in the Golden Star Awards. Even the apprentices and apprentices he taught were extraordinary. He was a master-level figure. His interesting hobby was to make guest appearances in the film, such as he and his apprentices.
In "Infernal Affairs 2", the four killed giants were guest-starred.
In fact, it was supposed to be regaining the original cast, but unfortunately Huang Yongheng was filming another drama, so he had no choice but to find Huang Taile and the others. Later, when the film was released, Xiao Ran admired Liang Jun's control outside the literary drama, and he could actually
With my own control and understanding, the image style is extremely similar to the first part, and it is even more powerful than the degree of fire, but there is nothing classic in it.
Xiao Ran’s understanding is very simple. The focus of this scene is not only on the agent, but also on caring about the character, as well as an interaction and influence. Therefore, this requires not only a close-up shot, but also a back shot.
, combine the shots of both.
Huang Taile and Liu Weiqiang quickly understood what Xiao Ran meant and prepared on their own. After all, Xiao Ran thought about it and said to Lin Daoyun: "This scene should have a soundtrack, not a song. You can use Scottish bagpipes or erhu to express this.
It’s sad, but don’t ignore the psychological changes of the protagonist, and also need to express it with less obvious variations!"
Lin Daoyun was Xiao Ran's old team after all, and immediately understood Xiao Ran's meaning. However, he was very surprised that Xiao Ran knew that the Scottish bagpipe was very suitable for a sad atmosphere. He himself planned to use this instrument, so he was even more so.
I admire Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran took this look in his eyes and laughed in his heart. He was stealing from "Brave Heart". In fact, it cannot be said that he was stealing from the master, it was just enlightenment. Any instrument can be successfully supported as long as it is operated properly.
The atmosphere even conveys the theme. The most typical one is "PTU". The soundtrack of the scene in the film is almost perfectly expressed in a seamless manner.
When Xiao Ran thought of this, he felt deeply regretful. He really didn't know when Zhong Zhirong debuted. If he could get Zhong Zhirong, it would be like he got one of the best musicians in Chinese movies. What Zhong Zhirong is best at is giving strong styles.
He has a sonic musical work, while Huang Zhan is good at classical arts and is very majestic. Hu Dawei is also one of the four most famous soundtrack masters of this era.
"Go and prepare to isolate the natural sound. I will take the sound of this scene without missing a trace. Remember this in post-production. You must not move the sound here. However, it can be accompanied by other sound sources!" Xiao Ran
He quickly gave a few instructions to the recording director, and then said to Zhang Shuping: "Can this set and color make it clear in the dark? I want to convey the message that the protagonist has basically completed a change in his mentality!"
"There is light in the dark!" Zhang Shuping immediately understood what Xiao Ran meant. This was to convey the message with very picturesque things such as colors and light: "I think there is no problem, I will prepare here!"
After sorting out all the preparations in just a few seconds, Xiao Ran then instructed the middle-aged actor: "You must act well soon. You don't need to be sad, but you still have to feel very tired. Moreover, I need to
There is a little bit of worrying about your loved ones inside, and the expression of your eyes is very important!”
These middle-aged actors are all one of the first graduates of the artist training class and are also one of the famous supporting actors in Hong Kong. Their value is only inferior to Wu Zhenyu. Xiao Ran believes that he can handle it because this scene is not very difficult.
The key to acting is Fa Ge.
Staring at the kind-hearted Brother Fa, Xiao Ran thought about the shooting method, and then said to Brother Fa: "Brother Fa, your performance doesn't need to be too cold later. You are a little excited, but you don't show it. The expression is basically
No, the point is the look, but don’t try too hard or deliberately.”
"You always have so many requests. I'm really afraid of you. If you work with you, it's just a pain!" Brother Fa sighed loudly, which immediately aroused the recognition of the crew members, and they all shouted: "No,"
Wrong, Director Xiao, you always want to squeeze us all out. It’s really tiring to work with you!”
Xiao Ran smiled and glanced around. The members of the crew were basically all the teams of the first episode, and they were all very familiar with the old ministers. Naturally, they didn't care much about it: "Don't do this, now I want to
I'm afraid you won't agree. None of you is full of energy and want to show your face!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing, which was also funny. He had changed the original shoddy atmosphere in just five years after he came here. The staff of every position in the crew worked and created with a serious attitude.
Especially the team led by Xiao Ran himself is the most powerful, and each of them has gradually become the best figure in all industries.
It was as if Lei Kaitai had offered Xiao Ran privately and was willing to exchange 40 million for his team. Xiao Ran naturally refused because he did not sign a contract with the Phantom at all, but was sent as soon as possible.
Every time another company's play comes to them, they always ask Phantom at the first time: "Where is the company giving us a play? Mr. Xiao has a play?" If not, they agree to the other company's play.
This is very beneficial, because this team started acting with other companies, and gradually affected the entire industry to become serious. As a result, the current trend of Xiao Ran's gratitude appeared. I really can't help but thank this set of things.
Old team.
However, they are all very awesome now, such as the lighting maker Dou Wenbao, who is now called the King of Lights by his peers in the industry. This time, Huang Taile wanted to bring his lighting maker, but when he heard that Dou Wenbao was doing the lighting, he immediately
He gave up his original idea. If Lin Daoyun hadn't had few works, he would have definitely been as famous as music masters such as Hu Dawei in the soundtrack.
Everyone is happy to cooperate with Xiao Ran, not only because Xiao Ran can bring fame to them, but also because working with Xiao Ran can learn a lot and make people grow up quickly. Many people in the circle think he is incredible
He seemed to be proficient in everything, but he didn't know that Xiao Ran just had the advantage of rich experience.
No matter how much jokes, everyone's hands did not stop at all. They still knew Xiao Ran's style very well. Liang Jun next to him saw that Xiao Ran had made arrangements in a few moments, and he was impressed at the moment. Admiration was not about the arrangement, but about the situation.
Xiao Ran could outline what he wanted so quickly.
"All departments are OK?" Xiao Ran raised his head and glanced at him solemnly for a week. The recording director and Zhang Shuping and others answered a few OK words. Seeing that they were ready, he shouted to the loudspeaker in a deep voice: "ACTION!"
As the scene was called out, the machine began to work. Brother Fa gently supported the middle-aged actor, and the bodies were everywhere around the two of them. After saying a few dialogues, Brother Fa put it on.
The man moved to a stone, and the two talked face to face for a few words. The camera moved around the two along the track, while Liu Weiqiang held the camera and lowered his head to shoot.
After filming for a while, Fa Ge stood up and walked forward a few steps. Xiao Ran couldn't help but admire that Fa Ge had experienced the breakthrough in "God of Gambling", and now he can be called the best acting skills in Asia. Whether it is
Body language and walking postures are perfectly matched with the scene. It is a full-body performance method, which can be regarded as the limit of an orthodox performance.
Finally finished filming this scene, Xiao Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. How effective this scene is, it depends on the final editing. After calling CUT, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Yaozong and smiled: "Old Zhang, this scene
How do you think you should cut it?"
"Don't make a mistake, I'm only responsible for guidance. The real picker is him!" Zhang Yaozong smiled and pointed at the young man next to him. Xiao Ran knew that he was fooled. Wasn't that Zhang Yaozong's apprentice? Zhang Yaozong laughed and said:
"But I really admire you. I gave me a difficult problem as soon as I came. Since I am an old partner, I will give you this face. I think the key to dealing with this scene is..."
"The camera of leaving..." Xiao Ran and Zhang Yaozong shouted out at the same time, looking at each other, which had a great sense of heroic pity. Zhang Yaozong was indeed the most tacit picker with Xiao Ran, and he quickly taught him
Apprentice: "You have to understand the director's intention for such a shot. Have you noticed that there is anything to pay attention to when Fa Ge left?"
The young man hesitated for a moment, then hesitated to look at the master and said, "It seems that the angle when he leaves is straight! And the lens is also straight... I understand!"
"Your apprentice? It's amazing, has a future!" Xiao Ran couldn't help but nodded. This young man was not bad. Although he realized it with their reminder, he was also quite talented. Then he said to Zhang Yaozong: "Old
Zhang, teach him more, the future is unlimited!”
Xiao Ran is obviously qualified to speak in such a senior tone, and the young man showed a happy expression because he was praised by Xiao Ran. Zhang Yaozong raised his head and sighed: "The waves in the Yangtze River push the waves in the front, and the waves in the front die on the beach, it is not easy.
!”
"Who said that?" Xiao Ran laughed. There are so many filmmakers who have such ideas. No wonder many of them have lost their skills: "The rewards are so high now, and it's enough for you to shoot a movie a year to spend.
And I think there is only progress with competition. You need to make progress, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with me in the future!”
The young man suddenly laughed secretly, and Zhang Yaozong suddenly smiled bitterly. The age difference between him and Xiao Ran was quite different, so how could he keep up with it? When the filming of today's drama was filmed, Xiao Ran came to Liang Jun and said:
"Ajun, you are not good at literary dramas. I'll find you a partner. If you want to have a long-term plan, which one do you like yourself!"
"Me? I don't know!" Liang Jun was a little embarrassed. This is because there are quite a few Phantoms who are very strong in literary dramas, which makes it difficult for him to choose. Xiao Ran thought, just let's help him choose.
