I want to make headlines

Chapter 956: Governor from Heaven (Part [-])
Gan Jing still finds it quite funny that the Internet has spread the footage of his scenes. This kind of video that is easy to be clarified is to save the cost of publicity for the crew.

Some people save money, some make fun, some yell loudly, some gain attention, and it can be regarded as a small corner of the hustle and bustle.

On the night when work was over and back to the hotel, the three giants of the crew gathered together after a short break after dinner, director Zhou Shen, producer Hanks, and protagonist Gan Jing.

Gan Jing cut a cigar and sat on the edge of the sofa to puff slowly. He didn't like to smoke this, but in the scene in the room in the script, the cigar was used to match the clothes and light to give the effect.

Under the dim light, whether it is a neat white shirt or a dark woolen jacket, the characters appearing on the screen will not make too many changes in clothing.

"Boss, Brother Xun and the others went out shopping in a group." Zhou Shen put down his phone and glanced at A-Gump, not surprised by his behavior of smoking a cigar to find out the character's status.

Many actors have the habit of looking for character positioning in one way or another. To put it bluntly, if A-Gump defines cigars in his heart as the action of switching characters, then when he picks up the cigar, he will be in this small world. People are one.

"Well, they are free to go shopping here." Gan Jing gently exhaled the smoke that had remained in his mouth for two seconds, and nodded slowly. Many actors like to go abroad because they like this kind of free shopping.

Hanks sat a little far away, he didn't speak, he was observing A-Gump's movements and expressions, as a great enough actor, he can naturally understand the state of being an actor.

"I think it's better to use close-ups for these shots." Zhou Shen first said his thoughts and considerations, "We all know that boss, your eyes and expressions are very good. This is an advantage and can be shown to the audience. This is Take a look at the storyboards I drew these days."

Both Gan Jing and Hanks got up, took two steps and saw the director's thoughts on the paper.

"The picture is not bad." Gan Jing commented first.

Hanks carefully read the storyboard, thought and said: "I think if you focus on close-up shots, you will lose the overall feeling, go a little farther, and improve the image quality, so that the overall taste of the scene will be improved." It came out. For the distant view, you can also add decorations in the room at different times, for example, the clock does not need to be blurred on the screen, it can be placed directly on the wall."

"If you use the real thing, you can use the ticking sound of the post-dubbing needle." Gan Jing first said a less important detail, then pulled a piece of manuscript paper, and said, "What is the vision like, Hanks, tell me, Let me draw a picture and see the effect together.”

Hanks smiled slightly, he also took a piece of manuscript paper, and said, "I'll draw it myself."

Gan Jing thought for a while and said, "Zhou Shen's drawing is ready, let's draw a picture each to see the effect."

"Okay." Hanks agreed.

In about 10 minutes, the two finished their own drawing.

Zhou Shen, who was drinking tea next to him, became interested and planned to compare the skills of the two. He put down his teacup and came up to Hanks first. Well, this storyboard picture is very good, better than his own.

Looking at the boss's, uh, it's also very good, and it's also better than me...

Zhou Shen was a little ashamed. He was a director, and he definitely came from a major. Although storyboarding is not a necessary skill, but... Forget it, no comparison, the status is different.

The director was slightly distracted, and then took a closer look at the different contents of the two paintings.

Although the time spent by the two was short, there were quite a lot of things to draw, but the most important thing was the expression of spatial distance. Hanks was almost the distance from the window at the entrance, and A-Gump was from the sofa in the living room.

The feeling brought by the presentation of portraits at two different distances is different.

Of course, no matter which one it is, you can use a close-up lens to zoom in when it comes to specific shooting. What needs to be determined now is a keynote expression on the subject.

"So, you all think my close-up shots are not good?" Zhou Shen first confirmed this with a little depression, and asked.

Hanks nodded, and Gan Jing agreed.

Zhou Shen couldn't help rolling his eyes, and simply put the two storyboards on the coffee table for comparison. He looked around and felt that there were many elements in Hanks' vision, and that Forrest Gump The middle distance has a good performance.

For a while, the room was quiet, and all three of them were wandering in their thoughts, trying to make up the story scenes in the script—the protagonist sat by the window, sometimes gently turning the chair, sometimes leaning on the seat and smoking a cigar, he The left hand is either holding a document or a mobile phone, the distance of the camera zooms in and out, and the silhouette becomes longer and shorter.

Wow, the curtains are drawn open.

The room was full of sunlight, and the half-dark light disappeared, and the protagonist finally stood in the sunlight.

The three of them still didn't speak, and exchanged glances with each other.

It was Gan Jing who spoke first: "The lens placed at this distance by Hanks can undoubtedly accommodate many elements, things piled up on the coffee table, clothes on the sofa, I can understand Hanks' thoughts."

Hanks kept a serious face: "I also understand your idea of ​​wanting both complete characters and push expressions, but I insist that simple light and shadow changes are enough, and your expression can be compensated with a close-up."

After two seconds, Hanks emphasized: "One close-up, only one is needed, and the rest are not needed."

Gan Jing frowned. In fact, it is reasonable to say that both lens options can be used, but the distance between an ordinary film and a good film is the accumulation of a little bit of advantage in the lens.

Not to mention, many movie fans are often moved and shocked by a scene.

"How about, let's work overtime today, Zhou Shen, call Lao Bao over, let's try to take a short shot with the camera." Since we are already subscribing the details, let's subdue it more extreme.

Zhou Shen "coughed": "How about, boss, you can call Mr. Bao, he has a bad temper."

Cinematographer Bao Dexi is worthy of anyone in terms of qualifications and abilities, so he is quite arrogant. Junior directors like Zhou Shen don't want to hear complaints from big names.

Hearing what he said, Gan Jing naturally picked up the storyboard on the table, and continued to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the lens with Hanks seriously. By the way, he repeatedly waved his hands at Zhou Shen, unwilling to speak.

Go, go, go, go!

Zhou Shen sighed in his heart, and got up silently to find the photographer Lao Bao who didn't know if he had slept or not.

About half an hour later, director Zhou Shencai and cameraman Bao Dexi reappeared in the room.

Gan Jing didn't ask why it took so long to invite someone. He communicated with Lao Bao with a smile on his face, and then began to change into formal clothes and put on makeup on himself.

After being an actor for a long time, I know a little about everything.

At this time, it is 22:42 in the Pacific time zone.

It was late and the actors were busy.
