I’ve said it all, don’t let post-00s take over the official account

Chapter 23 The filming of the rooftop scene begins, classics are meant to be surpassed

At first, when these staff members saw Wu Zhenyu appearing on the set, they had disapproving expressions on their faces.

They didn't understand why Su Chen still gave Wu Zhenyu a chance to audition when he was already hidden by the company.

Until now, after they saw Wu Zhenyu's interpretation of Ni Yongxiao and Su Chen's expression...

It was only belatedly that the staff realized how well Wu Zhenyu matched this role.

Soon, the scene was completed smoothly, but Wu Zhenyu still felt a little uneasy.

Ever since he offended the company's senior management, he hasn't received any drama for nearly a year.

God knows how happy Wu Zhenyu was when Liu Dehua told him that Linhai City Police Department's promotional film "Infernal Affairs" still lacked an actor.

Even though, the outside world is spreading rumors that Su Chen from the Linhai City Police Department doesn't know the heights of the world and actually wants to shoot a three-hour promotional video.

But for Wu Zhenyu now, it is quite good if he can have scenes to film.

Needless to say, "Infernal Affairs" also brings together a number of big-name actors, who are completely rare beings.

Apart from anything else, this promotional film is definitely going to be a hit, and it will also be of great benefit to the actors participating in it.

Wu Zhenyu clearly knows that his opportunity has come, and whether he can make a comeback depends on this "Infernal Affairs".

Therefore, as soon as Wu Zhenyu got the script, he immediately started reading it.

But time was too tight after all. Less than two days after he got the script, Andy Lau asked him to go to the studio to audition.

Originally, Wu Zhenyu had no confidence in his heart. When he saw Su Chen's current expression...

Wu Zhenyu lowered his head a little, but still tried to muster up the courage: "Director Su, how was my performance...?"

"Very good." Su Chen nodded and added, "Brother Ang, you control the role very well. Just keep acting like this."

Su Chen had already spoken, and the staff around him also echoed, giving Wu Zhenyu more confidence.

Seeing this, Wu Zhenyu finally showed a smile on his face, and secretly decided that he would play the role of Ni Yongxiao well.

At this point, the trial scene was over, and Su Chen led people to the filming location of the next scene.

After all, the filming time for "Infernal Affairs" was so tight that the crew couldn't stop once they started talking.

Especially director Su Chen, who has to take care of everything, is like a perpetual motion machine.

But fortunately, the most difficult period of photographing is the teenage period, and then comes the youth and middle age.

After entering this period, filming became easier.

Apart from the cooperation between various departments of the crew, the most important issue is the acting skills of the actors.

All actors who appear in the youth and middle-aged years are all good actors, and they are also big-name actors.

Su Chen just told them about the play once, and there was no need to give them detailed insights.

After all, they all already have enough acting experience, and there is no need for Su Chen to restrict them too much.

After three weeks of intensive filming, the filming of "Infernal Affairs" has come to an end.

In today's filming task, Su Chen arranged the most highlight part of the whole drama.

This scene is the rooftop showdown between Liu Jianmin and Chen Yongren.

It is no exaggeration to say that this scene is completely the only apotheosis sequence in "Infernal Affairs".Even if a foreign film company later buys the copyright of "Infernal Affairs" and remakes it...

It is no exaggeration to say that they failed to present this highlight sequence.

This is not only a matter of actors' acting skills, but also the director's use of lens language.

The feeling of tension between characters, and the undercurrent designed by the lens language...

Only the combination of the two can promote the birth of this scene of conferring gods.

Therefore, Su Chen did not correct the actors' problems this time, but spent more time on the filming team.

"Attention No. [-], you are responsible for shooting the mid-range shot of Brother Dehua. When he appears, I need your lens to change from out of focus to clear, and to externalize Liu Jianmin's heart from hesitation to determination. "

"Camera No. [-] is a close-up shot of Brother Dehua. When Brother Dehua is looking around, your camera will follow him. Remember, the movements must be crisp and neat, without any delay or drag."

"Other cameramen who shoot close-up shots and close-ups can perform camera stops to compress the images of the two characters to a certain extent and put them in an extremely depressed space. Only in this way can emotions burst out."

"Attention all lighting engineers, the light given to Chen Yongren is bright, while the light given to Liu Jianmin is dark. Use light and shadow to reflect the identity changes of the two of them. You must pay attention to the proportion and rhythm of lighting."

"In addition..." Su Chen paused and turned his attention to Liang Chaowei, "Chaowei, when you go to search Liu Jianmin, try to squat down a little and leave the screen. I need a scene that creates suspense."

Su Chen explained everything in detail, allowing all departments to cooperate tacitly.

Because this scene required a lot of close-ups and the shooting situation was a bit complicated, Su Chen doubled the number of camera positions.

In other words, in this scene...

Su Chen used fourteen camera positions, and he needed to see the contents of fourteen screens at the same time.

But even so, Su Chen didn't panic at all and was still confident of winning.

Regardless of the subtle problems in that picture, Su Chen was able to point them out promptly and urge them to make changes.

It took Su Chen half an hour just to arrange all the camera positions.

But it’s all worth it to look your best.

"Okay! Maintain the current state and start shooting in three seconds."

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

As the countdown to the start of filming ended, Liu Jianmin also walked up from the end of the rooftop.

Different from the usual panoramic lens, Su Chen asked the photographer of Unit [-] to point the lens at the glass in advance.

When a character walks in front of the glass, his or her mirror image will be reflected, but correspondingly...

The figure's body shape will also be distorted to a certain extent, which can just show Liu Jianmin's inner state at the moment.

Immediately afterwards, photographer No. [-] also followed Su Chen's instructions and processed the mid-range shot for Liu Jianmin from virtual to real.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Jianmin's inner actions were externalized.
