Entertainment: Save Zhao Xiaogu at the beginning

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the crew held a start-up ceremony and worshiped God, although Ye Qiu didn't believe in this thing, but it was also a blessing.

In the evening, the crew had a dinner, and Ye Qiu sat at a table with Xu Zheng, Guo Tao, Liu Hua, Huang Bo and other main creators and got acquainted with each other.

Xu Zheng's embarrassing series has not yet come out, although he is very famous in the entertainment industry, but he is far from the status of his previous life.

Therefore, it seems to be quite low-key, he has not let himself go, and he has respect for Ye Qiu.

At eight o'clock the next morning, the crew of "Crazy Stone" gathered at the Luohan Temple in the mountain city.

The various sets were completed two days earlier.

With the precautionary shots from yesterday's meeting, there were no moths in all departments of the crew, everyone was in place on time, and everything went according to the scheduled plan!

"The first scene of "Crazy Stone" is the first shot, and filming has officially started!".

Ye Qiu held the horn and said loudly.

The first scene is the big scene, which mainly shoots the scene where the Dao brother trio and Mike, a thief from Xiangjiang, step on the spot in the handicraft factory when the handicraft factory exhibits gemstones.

This scene is one of several difficult scenes in this play, involving more characters and extras, and if there is a slight mistake, it will have to be reshot.

In the previous life, the total investment of the movie "Crazy Stone" was only three million, in order to save costs, Ning Hao used DV shooting, and there was no film-level color grading in the later stage, and many shots used medium and close-up mode, resulting in a texture that looks a bit like a domestic TV series.

The 10 million invested by Ye Qiu has depreciated a lot compared to the 3 million in 06, but it is more than enough to make this movie.

Therefore, in this life, Ye Qiu naturally will not let this movie have such regrets.

For example, this time, he will use a long lens to shoot the international thief Mike, the local thief trio Daoge, Heipi, Xiaojun, and the handicraft factory security duo composed of Guo Tao and Sanbao.

In a long shot of nearly three minutes, the different representations of these three aspects of the gem are shown, resulting in a strong dramatic tension and dark humor effect.

This kind of one-shot has very high requirements for the scheduling of the scene, the degree of cooperation of the actors, the director's skills, the skills of the photographer, and the equipment, even Lu Yang, who is the assistant director, sweats for Ye Qiu!

"Ready, 321, go!".

Music sounded, and the actors of the craft factory choreographed dances on stage.

The extras who had bought tickets to see the glass imperial emerald began to walk along the previously rehearsed route, and Mike, the international thief, wearing sunglasses, leaned against the second-floor railing, smiling contemptuously at the booth below, while gluing a vacuum camera to the outside of the railing with chewing gum in his mouth.

The camera slowly turned to the side of the bandit trio, where Heipi and Brother Dao were talking.

Brother Dao observed the surroundings: "It's just a camera, ......

".

Heipi: "Hey, Brother Dao, which one is infrared?"

Brother Dao: "You've watched too many movies, why are there so many high-tech?"

Black skin: "If you don't want to do what I say, just take a hammer and smash it, and run away after smashing it, who can react, right?"

Brother Dao leaned for a moment, and motioned to him to whisper: "Well, quality, pay attention to quality!".

The camera swept over Brother Dao and Heipi and came to the other side of the booth, where the male protagonist Bao Shihong (played by Guo Tao) was admonishing the security guards in Sichuan dialect: "From now on, keep an eye on me, guard against death 24 hours a day, and sleep with your eyes open!"

......

"Okay, click!".

"Director Ye, what are we ...... It's over?".

Lu Yang looked at Ye Qiu with some surprise.

"It's too early!"

Ye Qiu held up the loudspeaker and said with a smile: "This one just now was a rehearsal, and it was used to find problems. Next I said, you change, first of all, the lighting group, remove the lamp opposite the booth, install a reflector on the other side, the camera crew, move the lens swing arm back one meter, and then the speed will be reduced by five percent when the swing arm rotates, if you don't know how to reduce it, then follow the actor's position...... The cast team, the No. 4 group actor walked a little slowly just now, blocking the view of the camera when it turned from Brother Dao to Bao Shihong, Heipi, when you talk to Brother Dao, the accent can be a little heavier, and it is best to bring a little more dialect from your hometown, so that it is more grounded to ......

".

Ye Qiuyang spoke for nearly five minutes, explaining all the problems and solutions encountered in the operation of this long lens.

The scene was quietly pin dropping, and everyone was stunned!

It is not difficult to find the problem in the process of long-lens shooting, the problem is that Ye Qiu is not only looking for the problem of scheduling, but also the problem of lighting and photography.

For gaffers and photographers, it's unbelievable.

You know, from the gaffer and photographer, in the crew, it is a highly professional position.

Especially the gaffers.

In a crew, in addition to the director, the most dick is the gaffer, especially the kind of qualified gaffer, who is called "the lamp master".

For example, if the makeup artist is not good or even the actor has no makeup, he can basically make up for it with lighting, and the same shot is beautiful.

But if the gaffer is not good, no matter how good the makeup is, it will be a basket.

Especially in movies, the lighting is more exquisite than the TV series, and some movies have light stand-ins, and before the official shooting, the light position stand-ins who are very similar to the actor's body move for the actors to test the best light position for the gaffers, and then the actors come over to shoot officially.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, even the director is very involved in the work of the gaffer, and some big-name gaffers can even give the director a face, and the director often has to follow with a smile.

Yan Xun, the leader of the lighting team of the drama "Crazy Stone", although he is not a big name with old qualifications, he is also a relatively powerful figure in the industry.

This time he was sent by Jiahang to partner with Ye Qiu, Yan Xun was not very happy, but now Ye Qiu pointed out that there was a problem with the light rack, and Yan Xun immediately exploded.

"Director Ye, you also know lighting?".

Yan Xun sneered.

"yes, what's the problem?".

Yan Xun said: "Director Ye, according to your practice, the light should be at least one-fifth darker when we shoot, and this lens will basically be wasted!"

Ye Qiu smiled slightly and said, "Boss Yan, you used to shoot costume idol dramas in Jiahang, right?"

"yes, what's wrong?".

Ye Qiu smiled faintly: "What kind of drama are we filming now, an urban drama with a realistic theme, and it is also a movie, what needs to be presented to the audience is a realistic picture, let me ask you, the light itself is not very bright in this case of Luohan Temple, according to your previous lighting, the light is indeed bright and the tone is soft, but the texture of this lens is gone, what is the difference between this and filming idol dramas?!".
