Chapter 9

After getting the words out of Liu Yijun's mouth, Cao Qing would go through all the plots after filming, especially the parts involving the four leading actors.

In this way, due to the good selection of actors, and a directing student from the Film and Television Academy as an assistant and assistant director, and Cao Qing had the original movie in his mind as a model for comparison, the shooting speed of the movie was calculated for a while. up fast.

Even if there were some unavoidable mistakes and loopholes in the middle, overall, for Cao Qing, a super rookie director, everything went smoothly.

After all, Cao Qing also shot some short videos in his previous life, and more or less instilled some director knowledge in his mind, as long as he put on a serious face, he can fool some crew members.

Even if it is occasionally seen that Cao Qing may not be familiar with making movies, it never occurred to him that he was just an Internet writer, a video shop owner with tens of thousands of fans, and a completely related to film and television before he started shooting this movie. Circle the grassroots passers-by who don't care about it.

After all, on the surface, Cao Qing relied on the original film model in his mind and basic director knowledge as a foundation, and the well-versed photographers, lighting engineers, and assistant directors in the crew played on their own, and they pretended to be decent.

The biggest problem for the Crazy Stone crew at this time is not that Cao Qing's own director knowledge is not up to standard. Compared with his unfamiliarity with the camera, the biggest problem encountered during the filming process is the acting skills of the crew members.

Shooting a movie is not like shooting a short video. Although it is also recording a piece of content, the time for a short video is only a dozen seconds to a few minutes. It does not require too many people to assist, and it can be easily completed with only a mobile phone.

When actually shooting a movie, there are often hundreds of people gathered in a dense indoor venue, so the pressure on the actors during shooting will be quite huge.

You must know that when most people shoot short videos, even if they are alone, they will inevitably have some minor problems such as forgetting words, stiff facial expressions, and mistakes in certain actions.

Even, due to some repetitive mistakes, an originally fairly simple 15-second video had to be shot five, six, seven or eight times to barely complete it.

It’s enough to take a small selfie video with a mobile phone by myself without any pressure, let alone being watched by dozens or hundreds of people watching the performance in an unfamiliar environment.

The embarrassment and discomfort caused by being watched by all eyes is almost enough to make any ordinary person who has never learned professional acting and experienced the devastation of professional acting classes in film and television colleges collapse directly.

Beiying, Zhongxi, Shangxi, why do these top film and television schools arrange four years of study time for a mere acting course that everyone seems to know? The training behavior of rolling, crying and laughing directly and artificially made these future actors in the film and television industry destroy and rebuild their self-esteem in front of all their classmates.

The profession of actors has always been that if you are not crazy, you will not survive. The precautionary psychology required by normal people is a burden to them.

If you can't let go of your self-esteem and defenses, then this actor is destined to be shy in front of the camera, and a shy person in front of the camera cannot become a qualified actor, the camera will magnify all tiny things to the limit.

Even if it's just a subtle expression of emotion on the actor's face and eyes, once this kind of thing that people will never pay attention to in daily life falls into the camera and comes to the big screen, it will be magnified to the limit and become an unbearable scene. Defects.

Those who are slightly shy will become introverted, those who are introverted will become dull, and those with fluctuating emotions will become exaggerated. These behaviors that are magically amplified by the camera will make the audience who are immersed in the play suddenly become confused. .

No matter how shy an actor is in his daily life, once he officially enters the state of filming, no matter what kind of person he is usually, he has to unconditionally abandon his original appearance, let himself get close to the role, and become the character in the film and television script. The character, which was originally just an avatar, came to life with flesh and blood in the illusion.

As a director, Cao Qing's main job is to direct others.

As for Cao Qing, he probably awakened some special talents after his rebirth. Although it was his first filming, he still gained the trust of almost everyone during the filming process of the entire crew.

Bewitched by his words, everyone in the crew was successfully brainwashed by him. Everyone believed that as long as the filming of the movie that everyone is shooting together is completed, it will be released by the cinema under the operation of this very background director. What was broadcast was successfully released on the big screen, raising the reputation of everyone in the crew to a higher level.

It is precisely because of this that although Cao Qing made mistakes from time to time during the filming process, all the behind-the-scenes staff including the cameraman in the crew will cooperate with him as much as possible and follow his will to complete the filming.

Time passed by little by little. Although the conditions of the crew were a bit difficult, everyone was full of enthusiasm because of Cao Qing's hard work and encouragement every day.

And in the constant familiarization these days, Cao Qing also slowly accepted and digested some of the basic knowledge of directors instilled in his mind. With his shooting skills, he can also rely on shooting small videos to become a million-dollar V, glamorously serving as an advertisement pit in the hands of Douyin Chopsticks.

The shooting techniques of the film "Crazy Stone" are different from all domestic mainstream films. Compared with the mediocre domestic film shooting techniques at this time, this film first uses a multi-line narrative script structure design uniquely. Stabilization and montage techniques.

The film as a whole uses a cross montage to tell the story. The three clues are sometimes connected and sometimes disconnected. A period of time and space is divided into three perspectives, which greatly increases the capacity of the film and enriches the details.

Especially in the second half of the film, the three clues are constantly colliding, and the sense of tension when the camera quickly cuts between the three perspectives is really a test of the director's skills, even if Cao Qing continues to direct the filming according to the original film in his mind. The teacher shoots, this rhythm is still a bit intermittent by him.

"Old Wang, I feel that the post-editing of this movie should be very troublesome, what do you think?"

As always, while Cao Qing handed out a cigarette, he quietly listened to what the photographer Lao Wang had to say.

Lao Wang is an honest man, and Cao Qing deliberately chose him from the many candidate photographers given by the lead guest.

Compared with other photographers who have better skills but like to be talkative and slippery, Cao Qing is very self-aware and he clearly knows what kind of photographer he needs.

His technical level is not the biggest requirement, Cao Qing's goal is to be obedient, obey orders, and be an honest toolman who will not override the self-authority of a young director.

And Lao Wang, this honest and taciturn guy from the Northwest, obviously fits this standard very well.

"It may be very troublesome. Director Cao, your idea is very good, but this kind of montage-style shooting technique is really difficult to use. For a photographer with ordinary skills like me, even if you explain it as a director, it will be difficult to do it. to smooth shooting."

"However, I tried my best to balance it. I probably won't make the rhythm too chaotic. As for the editing, I can only let you, the director, worry about it."

Lao Wang spoke very straightforwardly, and he pointed out the question Cao Qing wanted to ask very clearly.

There was a flash of enlightenment in Cao Qing's eyes. He already understood what the problem was, and finally realized how rare the two simulated editing opportunities given by the system were.

Compared with ordinary directors who have no choice but to bite the bullet and wait for market feedback when the filming is bad and they don’t know the specific problem, Cao Qing, who has two opportunities for simulated editing, can completely watch the film effect after the simulated editing is completed in the system space. Come and adjust the rhythm precisely, and use cheating methods to save a bad movie into a masterpiece.

"That's right, old Wang, I think so too."

"Keep working hard in the future. I worked hard on filming tonight. I'll ask the cafeteria to add a chicken leg to you."

In the long night, Cao Qing patted the blank old Wang on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and said with a smile.

　Thanks to Nuanyang Ruyu, the 100 starting point coins rewarded by Whispering Y.
