Popular recommendation:

Lu Qian, are you a perfectionist?

Yes.

The answer is one hundred percent yes.

However, the difference between Lu Qian and Su Ziyi is that Su Ziyi's "perfection" is for the lighting and the specific details of a scene; Lu Qian's "perfection" is for movies, it is Make adjustments based on the final look of the full rendering of the movie.

Of course, this does not mean that paying attention to the whole ignores the parts, because the whole is made up of parts; it means that it is conceived in advance based on the overall picture, and focuses more accurately and efficiently on the parts that need attention, rather than using resources Wasted on parts that are not needed at all.

"In order to avoid wasting production costs, we need to plan carefully. Think about it, the shooting of this scene, apart from manpower and time, etc., are production costs in every corner."

"If Ji Xu is standing here, I will tell you that it may cost half a million for one more shot, or even more. Do you think we have the capital to squander?"

The truth has been explained.

But Su Ziyi still couldn't turn around and shook his head, "No, I don't understand."

"director!"

Su Ziyi couldn't help rolling up his sleeves, his face full of seriousness, and he had the attitude of continuing to fight for three hundred rounds.

"No matter what, we can't reduce the quality of the picture, you should know..."

This time, Lu Qian directly raised his hand to stop Su Ziyi. He didn't say anything more, but dragged Su Ziyi to the monitor to watch the screen playback.

"Aichi, look."

Movies, on paper, are shallow in the end. Only by putting them into practice can we understand the charm of them.

At this time, Lu Qian was replaying what they had just shot to the end, but not just replaying, but also pressing pause.

"Look. From this angle, there is actually a problem with the composition. The whole structure is unbalanced, but it doesn't matter, because the picture here will be edited out, and then we will re-shoot the picture from another angle. In post-production, replace it. Drop this shot."

"This picture, there is a gang, have you seen it? You can see the onlookers in the corner. We will need to take another shot of the bird's-eye view to replace it."

"Oh, here, the lighting is wrong, you see, the contrast between light and dark is completely unsatisfactory, and the entire visual effect is not only rough, even inferior, I think the light source settings here should be adjusted, but not according to the current plan, I Ready to switch three angles to shoot this scene..."

One step, another step.

Lu Qian composes the picture in his mind, like a picture scroll, and slowly unfolds it——

One shot to the end, this is a very, very strict shooting, and no mistakes can be made in any link, so many times it is shot in the studio.

Because inside the studio, they can minimize the influencing factors as much as possible, not to say that shooting outside the studio is not possible, but to say the cost and energy expenditure, which is an unimaginable number.

It seems that even now, even if the shooting is smooth, there will still be partial or detail deviations, which will affect the quality of the picture. There are too many uncertain factors.

For the first official fighting scene after the opening of "Deadpool", Lu Qian also made a full range of ideas:

A mirror to the end is not the most ideal way of presentation.

In Lu Qian's mind, the presentation of the entire picture should be smooth, rhythmic, light, splendid, and able to feel the rhythm.

So, how should it be presented?

Part of it, of course, is the post-editing. Lu Qian will tell Lin Hanzhou his idea, and then Lin Hanzhou will give the editing a unique magic power.

The other part is the actual shooting, which requires a large amount of lens material, and orderly combs the plot, characters, and space.

In order to do this, Lu Qian chose to shoot a "frame" first, and then follow the context to complete the combination of shots with different presentation methods.

The previous rehearsal in Lanchuan Studio was not only for the crew to find the most suitable shooting method, but also for Lu Qian himself:

He needs to sort out the picture, the structure, the context, and the entire shooting process. Just like examining a chess game, he needs to complete the layout of ten to fifteen moves in advance, and then hide his shooting intentions in the seemingly chaotic daily work.

Without a doubt, this is a challenge.

For Lu Qian himself, it is no exception. He needs to be clear about the intention and goal of each shooting, and the final position and angle of each picture.

Lu Qian is also the first time ever.

Naturally, in the process of work, Lu Qian was inevitably in a hurry, and he was inevitably not very skilled, and even the work flow of the crew was a bit confusing.

This caused Chen Mu, Su Ziyi and other professionals who were familiar with Lu Qian's work model to have many question marks.

But at the same time, it is precisely because of this that Lu Qian felt the unprecedented new challenges in the director's work. Not only was he not irritable, but he became more and more excited.

"Scheduling", this will be a new test that the movie "Deadpool" will give Lu Qian.

The topic returned to Su Ziyi's doubts.

Lu Qian also noticed that the quality of the finished product is not perfect, especially the lighting. Small flaws can be seen everywhere, but Lu Qian knew that this was unavoidable——

On the one hand, I want to shoot on the spot, on the other hand, I want to create a sharp contrast effect, on the one hand, I want one shot to the end, and on the other hand, I want to schedule the audience.

Too greedy ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is difficult to take care of all aspects.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Lu Qian believes that there is no need to be picky about the shooting quality of the first shot, but according to his overall layout, the part of the picture that needs to be retained in the movie to ensure the perfect shooting, as long as these pictures are perfect, There will be no problem.

As for those slightly flawed pictures, all subsequent shots can be replaced. Simply put, these "defective products" are not needed in the first place, so naturally there is no problem.

Anyway, the follow-up shooting is no longer a one-shot to the end, but a split shot, with each shot slowly withering, even if it is reshot many times, the cost is not so expensive and the involvement is not so extensive, the crew should be able to burdened.

This is the abacus in Lu Qian's mind.

Therefore, Lu Qian is still a perfectionist, but, as a director, he must learn to choose, learn to balance, and learn to plan carefully.

If possible, Lu Qian also hopes to create a perfect picture frame by frame, so that post-production is much simpler, and there is no need to tie up Lin Hanzhou; but the real problem is that he can't, so he must find A better way to present the best version.

"That cheapskate of Lions Pictures, who cares about everything and gave us so much budget, but I can't admit defeat."

"I have to find a better way to complete the work in my head, blind them, and then refuse to shoot a sequel, and let them cry one by one."

Looking at Lu Qian with bright eyebrows and bright eyes, everyone was horrified and their hair stood on end. I am afraid that only Su Ziyi could laugh.
