Bright Era of China Entertainment

"Let's live a regular life!" This is the call from the witch.

It is a small torture for a person who has nothing to do for the time being to get up at five or even three or four in the morning every day.

But since he agreed to Concubine Liu Yi's request to go out and come back together, he can only keep his promise.

It's just that Zhang Jin called him to drink every now and then. Although he had learned the lesson of his embarrassment last time and stopped drinking too much, he had to get up so early after drinking, which made him very tormented.

So Concubine Liu Yi put the alarm clock next to his ear to bombard him, added the four-character formula of scratching, pinching, kneading, and grasping, and without a word, soft kisses were sent to him.

This witch played with him in the art of war, which is called the first soldier and then the courtesy.

Chu Xuan is by no means a person who easily accepts sugar-coated bullets. This kind of routine of giving a stick and then giving a sweet date does not work here, but there are too many sweet dates, and he can't stand it.

If one kiss is not enough, then two, if two are not enough, then three...

The surge of hormones allowed him to wake up quickly every time he was woken up in the early morning, this demon girl did her best.

In the crew, he turned into an assistant to make Zeng Ni lose her job duties, holding an umbrella for Concubine Liu Yi on the way to the set, and handing Concubine Liu Yi water and wiping her sweat after a scene.

He also acted as an acting instructor to relieve some of the burden on the teachers of the crew. In order to speed up the filming progress, he talked with Concubine Liu Yi on the set under the scorching sun, helping Concubine Liu win every scene as soon as possible.

In the eyes of the entire crew, Chu Xuan, who was obviously out of action, could do so well. It perfectly explained what it means to share weal and woe, advance and retreat together, and gave Chu Xuan a thumbs up.

What's more, Yang Rong joked that Chu Xuan was a flower protector who braved the scorching sun and was not afraid of the high temperature.

"The relationship is so good." The teachers saw it, and the aunts inevitably smiled.

What caught the teachers' attention even more during this period was Chu Xuan's play lecture.

From the beginning of "Tianlong", in the crew of each drama, Chu Xuan's ability to understand the drama is always impressive.

This time was no exception. Every time Chu Xuan gave Concubine Liu Yi's play, it was not only transparent, but also easy to understand and very practical, which surprised the teachers who didn't know Chu Xuan in the crew.

Being able to perform and being able to teach are two different things. At such a young age, Chu Xuan has not only become an asset, but also has a wide understanding of professional performances. This has given the teachers another understanding of Chu Xuan.

"Talent is fine, this Chu Xuan." The teachers didn't know why Chu Xuan knew so many professional things at such a young age, but the facts proved that Chu Xuan did, and it could only be attributed to talent.

"Not bad." As Chu Xuan's class teacher, Wang Jinsong has always recognized Chu Xuan.

The young couple also said before that they also need to learn about photography during filming, so as to prepare for being a director in the future.

During filming, as long as Concubine Liu Yi is free, Chu Xuan and her will play with the camera teacher.

——September 7.

In the morning, the sun is bright.

"Judge yourself whether the range of motion of the actors in this scene is large or small. If the range of motion is small, you can use automatic focus. If the range of motion is large, you need to manually adjust it in real time."

On the set, an ancient building, the scene is an antique main hall, this is Yang Rong's play.

Chu Xuan was holding the camera for shooting, and Concubine Liu Yi was one meter behind Chu Xuan, holding a small monitor connected to Chu Xuan to observe, and the camera teacher and follower were also assistant camera teachers teaching.

The pictures of the young couple were not included in the camera and could not interfere with the final shooting effect, so they played with confidence.

"Don't you need to read the storyboard script?"

Concubine Liu Yi held a small tablet-like monitor in her hand, and she looked down seriously. The picture on the screen was consistent with the picture captured by the camera in Chu Xuan's hand.

"You need to read the script for the camera, and you don't need to follow the focus staff." Said Mr. Jiao Jiao.

Chu Xuan at the front, seeing the small screen protruding from the camera fixed on the rack, stretched out his hand to open the function bar on the screen, and slightly adjusted the various values.

He personally took the camera to shoot on the set, and got the teacher's explanation, and he also understood the specific workflow of the camera team.

The camera operator needs to read the shot script, understand the shooting frame of a scene, adjust his lens to meet the desired effect of the scene, and then wait for the director and director of photography's instructions.

Although the storyboard script is written by the screenwriter, it is the director who ultimately sets the tone, and the storyboard script is only for the director's reference. The director can adjust the storyboard script at any time according to the actual situation.

For a scene, if the shots in the split-shot script need to be adjusted, the director will discuss with the director of photography, and the director of photography will come to give guidance on the spot.

According to the guidance of the director of photography, the camera operator makes a second adjustment to the lens.

From this point of view, the work of the camera operator is actually not complicated. It is equivalent to a tool person, and it is enough to mobilize the camera according to the description of the shot script and the arrangement of the director and the director of photography.

The real difficulty lies in the tacit cooperation between the operator and the follower.

"Liu Hejiao, is the focus right?" Chu Xuan turned his head and asked.

Liu Genjiao... Concubine Liu Yi smiled, she didn't look up at Chu Xuan, she still looked down at the small monitor seriously.

Teacher Jiao Yuan was next to Concubine Liu Yi, and guided: "Every scene in every scene must have a focal point. For example, Producer Liu, you are now positioning Yang Rong. Yang Rong is the protagonist in this scene. She must have a focal point. Appears in the middle of the picture, so the focus of the lens should be on a central point."

"The camera operator needs to move to control the camera. It is difficult for the camera operator to control the specific position of the focus of the moving lens. This requires the cooperation of the focus officer and the camera operator."

"Producer Liu, look at your monitor. It shows that the focus is on Yang Rong's left face. From a professional point of view, the focus should be on the tip of Yang Rong's nose. This is the center point."

Concubine Liu Yi nodded: "Then I need to tell Chu Xuan right."

"Yes." He said to Mr. Jiao Yuan, "You have to tell him the specific data and let him adjust the lens with the camera."

Concubine Liu Yi understood, looked at the data displayed on the small monitor, and said, "Chu Xuan, three feet to the right."

Chu Xuan heard Liu Yifei's words and panned the camera to the right a little.

"It's too much! Two feet to the left." Concubine Liu Yi looked at the screen on the monitor, the focus was moved to Yang Rong's right face by Chu Xuan, she quickly reminded.

Chu Xuan adjusted the shooting angle of the camera again, and said, "Teacher, is there no other way to position the focus? It depends entirely on the feel of the hand?"

The camera teacher smiled, nodded and said, "It's all about hand feel, camera experience, there is no other way."

"Why is the unit in feet?" Chu Xuan asked.

"Electronic products such as monitors are imported from abroad, and the units are naturally based on foreign standards. One foot is about 0.8 inches. It will be fine after you are familiar with the technique." The camera teacher explained.

"OK!" Concubine Liu Yi said suddenly, the focus on the small monitor was accurately positioned on the tip of Yang Rong's nose, and Yang Rong as a whole appeared in the center of the screen.

Chu Xuan quickly stopped panning the mirror, so as not to over-adjust again.

I took a look with Mr. Focus, confirmed it was correct, and said with a smile: "President Chu and Producer Liu don't need to be proficient in photography if they want to be directors. They only need to understand all aspects of photography. As directors, you only need to give orders. "

"Of course, the more you know, the better."

"For example, now you are using a regular lens, if you want to adjust to a wide-angle lens, as a director, you need to tell us how far the lens is pushed back to reach the focal length, and where the focal point is."

"There are also subdivision parameters for various mirror movements. As a director, you have to tell us whether the mirror is a slow mirror, a medium zoom, or a fast zoom."

"The movement of the mirror also pays attention to the speed. Generally speaking, one second is the standard."

"As a director, you also need to know what is the effect of pushing the mirror one second and panning the mirror by one foot, and what is the effect of two feet."

"The director knows this, and there will be a professional composition of all crew shooting angles in his mind, and then he will explain to each camera crew one by one, and the cameraman will know what to do."

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei listened, these are the valuable experience of the two teachers, which cannot be learned in class.

That is to say, the identities of the young couple are here, otherwise the two teachers will not teach easily.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

"Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi get ready, the filming will start in 10 minutes."

Hearing Kong Sheng's words on the walkie-talkie, Chu Xuan let go of the camera, Concubine Liu Yi returned the small monitor to Teacher Jiao Yuan, the young couple looked at each other and smiled, and it was quite fun to experience a video camera.

"Thank you teacher." The two thanked each other.

"Mr. Chu and Producer Liu can come anytime they want to learn." The two teachers said enthusiastically.

"Okay." Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi nodded slightly, and went to another studio in their new costumes.

Although the director does not need to be proficient in photography, as the teacher said, the parameters of the camera, the method of moving the mirror, the different effects that can be presented by the angle of the mirror, etc., must be understood.

It was the first time for the young couple to try professional videography. It felt good and the difficulty was not too great. What is needed is practice makes perfect. This is an experience that takes time to accumulate.

After going through one crew after another, it is not too difficult to meet the basic standards of the director profession.

"Go to Jinyun County after filming."

"Well, Director Li Guoli is waiting for us, we'll pass it once or twice as soon as possible."

Concubine Liu Yi nodded happily. Today, she is going to the location of the production team of "Sword of Immortal Sword 3". By the way, she will go to the scenic spot with Chu Xuan. She has been filming for so many days and finally has a day off. She is also looking forward to today's play.

But before that, she and Chu Xuan wanted to finish one of the few scenes they had together.

There are not only the two of them in this scene, but also Teacher Yu Rongguang and Teacher Lu Shigang.

Teacher Yu Rongguang and the others have worked together, and played Liu Yifei's boss in "New Police Story".

Teacher Lu Shigang is also an acquaintance. He played Duan Zhengming, the emperor of Dali in "Dragon Ba Bu".

In "Legend of Red Flame", Yu Rongguang plays Chu Xuan's father and Lin Xie, the coach of the Red Flame Army.

Mr. Lu Shigang played Concubine Liu Yi's father, the king of the Yunnan Palace, and the only king of Daliang. It was just that the king died a little too soon, so Nihuang was allowed to take over the army in place of his father, creating a legendary story.

After being "clicked" twice due to some details, the actors were ready.

The scene is marked, and the shooting begins.

In an ancient room similar to a study room, what is different from the study room is that apart from a few rows of bookshelves, there is an ancient sand table in the center of the room.

The sand table is estimated to be the size of a billiard table, and it is covered with sand. The teachers in the props group have also made various terrains and flags, which looks very professional.

"The spies came to report that Southern Chu bought [-] horses from Beirong. For our Yunnan army, this is not a serious problem." Lu Shigang said with worry on his brows, pacing a few times in front of the sand table.

In this scenario, it is winter in the script, and heavy snow suddenly falls in Yunnan, which rarely snows, and the border areas. The Yunnan army and the southern Chu army retreated, and the southern war stopped.

The spies of the Yunnan Army reported that Southern Chu purchased [-] horses from Beirong. If these [-] horses form cavalry, it would be a fatal hidden danger for the Yunnan Army without cavalry.

The king of Yunnan and Lin Xie were family friends, and the two children had a marriage contract since they were young. They were as close as a family, and most of the Chiyan army were cavalry, so the king of Yunnan came back to Beijing to ask for advice.

"There are many mountains in the south, which is not conducive to cavalry combat. Brother Mu, don't worry too much." Yu Rongguang carried his hands on his back, looked at the sand table and said, with a smile on his face, he did not take the worries of the King of Yunnan to heart, as if he had a well-thought-out plan.

"Father." Concubine Liu Yi's Princess Nihuang is only fourteen or fifteen years old at the moment. She is wearing a green dress, a hairpin, and a long-haired shawl. young state.

She had a calm face, with a heroic look on her brows, and a look of wisdom in her eyes, and said: "The area between Luoqiu and Shangqiu is wide and flat, if there are really cavalry in Southern Chu, this will be an excellent way for them to use the cavalry to charge the battle." land."

Lu Shigang nodded thoughtfully, "Well, then how do you think you should arrange troops?"

Concubine Liu Yi pointed at the sand table and said without hesitation, "The cavalry marches fast, but the infantry is far inferior. If troops are dispatched at the same time, Southern Chu will definitely occupy the two favorable terrains of Luoqiu and Shangqiu first. With the cavalry as a deterrent, our army will be at the same time. No way in."

"My daughter thinks that for Luoqiu and Shangqiu, the deployment of soldiers in the Pingling area to prevent Southern Chu from attacking from the two hills is to defend and make the Southern Chu cavalry useless."

"The cavalry in Nanchu has lost its role, so the rest will be easy to handle."

"What you can think of, Nan Chu can think of too." Chu Xuan said.

Lu Shigang and Yu Rongguang looked down at the sand table, and when they heard Chu Xuan's words, they both raised their eyebrows and looked at him.

Concubine Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chu Xuan, and smiled: "I don't know what opinion Brother Lin Shu has, so that I can teach Nihuang to learn."

Chu Xuan looked away from the sand table and looked at Concubine Liu Yi: "Bei Rong was intimidated by the Red Flame Army and prevented their wolfish ambitions from offending me. Now they suddenly sell horses to Nan Chu. It must be to make Nan Chu Spoiling the situation in the south, so that Bei Rong can take the opportunity to attack my Daliang, and make my Daliang difficult to care about."

"Yes, so what?" Concubine Liu Yi and Chu Xuan looked at each other, not as shy as an ordinary woman in ancient times, but full of confidence and focus.

"Five thousand horses is not a small number. I conclude that the horses that Beirong sells to Nanchu must be inferior horses. If they sell war horses, Beirong won't have to contend with my Red Flame Army. Alright, otherwise it will be easy for my Red Flame Army to destroy them," Chu Xuan said.

Concubine Liu Yi and Lu Shigang were startled, and Yu Rongguang smiled.

"Bad horses..." Concubine Liu Yi murmured.

"A good war horse does not spare the horse's life. It can travel up to six hundred miles a day. If it runs this distance without stopping, the war horse will be disabled even if it does not die."

"Halve the low-quality horses, and you can travel up to three hundred miles a day. This is the limit."

"Nanchu has fewer horses than Daliang. If I can buy [-] horses from Beirong, I will definitely keep them as treasures. I will never march in a hurry to kill the horses."

"According to the art of raising horses, a poor-quality horse can only preserve its energy and health by traveling 20 miles an hour and resting for two moments. Nan Chu must know this."

"In this way, the border of Southern Chu is four hundred miles away from the two hills, and even if we use cavalry to drive the road, it will take two days and two nights to reach here."

"The Yunnan border is only 150 miles away from the land of two hills, and it only takes one day and two nights to march with infantry. If you send troops at the same time, you will reach the land of two hills faster than the former army of Southern Chu, so you can wait for work at ease."

"So, I conclude that even if Southern Chu has cavalry, it will not regard the land of two hills as the main battlefield."

Hearing Chu Xuan's analysis, Lu Shigang straightened his face, his eyes revealed some thought, and he immediately exchanged a glance with Yu Rongguang: "There are only two places in the vast area of ​​the southern border. If what Shuer said is true, even if there is horseback riding in Southern Chu, they will lose their charge." opportunity, their horses can only be used for..."

"Transport troops and food!" Lu Shigang and Yu Rongguang said in unison, and Yu Rongguang smiled knowingly.

"If it's just transporting troops and food, then it's just like Brother Lin said, it's nothing to worry about." Lu Shigang laughed loudly, and said to Chu Xuan, "Shu'er has done my uncle and me a big favor by saying this. Shuai really lives up to his reputation! I want this son-in-law!"

Hearing what he said, Yu Rongguang said in disdain: "My daughter-in-law is not bad either, as a daughter, she is not a weak man."

son in law?

Daughter-in-law?

Concubine Liu Yi blinked, a look of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and she stamped her feet: "This is not married yet, the two of you are always chattering, and you don't understand the rules of etiquette!"

Her appearance and words made Lu Shigang and Yu Rongguang look at each other, and they both burst into laughter.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi looked at each other, each a little embarrassed, but also affectionate, and lowered their eyebrows.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

Hearing Kong Sheng's words from the walkie-talkie, the four actors were in a state of Panasonic.

"The acting was pretty good." Yu Rongguang patted Chu Xuan's shoulder: "Then I'll take a step first, see you in Gansu Film and Television City, and then we will act well."

"Okay, Teacher Yu, go slowly." Chu Xuan nodded.

Yu Rongguang only had this scene in Hengcheng, and he rushed here yesterday to shoot this scene. He also had arrangements in another film crew, so he rushed over right now.

Chu Xuan and him had a lot of scenes on the battlefield in the future, and when they meet again, it would be very cool for Chu Xuan to play the rival scene between the father and son in the play.

Chu Xuan saw Teacher Yu Rongguang off for a while with a sun umbrella, and just walked a few steps towards the direction of the director's team, but forgot about Concubine Liu Yi who was waiting for him to return.

"Brother Lin Shu, your unmarried wife hasn't opened an umbrella yet! Do you want to expose your fiancée to death?"

Chu Xuan turned his head, Concubine Liu Yi stood at the door of the house, looking at Chu Xuan mischievously, the strong sunlight made her flinch.

Normally she is not so delicate, she just asked Chu Xuan to pick her up on purpose.

The two looked at each other about ten meters away, and Chu Xuan smiled slightly. The witch was really naughty, so he walked over quickly.

Concubine Liu Yi stepped forward, hid under the umbrella, and walked towards the direction of the director's team holding Chu Xuan's arm.

"Director Kong, let's go first."

"Row."

After saying hello and waving goodbye to friends, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi went out, Zeng Ni followed behind with her belongings.

"Let's go and play." Concubine Liu Yi happily said, and got into the commercial vehicle with Chu Xuan. (end of this chapter)
