my time as a director

However, only the rough cuts and re-cuts are handed over to the editor, and the fine cuts and comprehensive cuts are left to the editor after the filming is finished.

It’s normal for films to be edited while filming. Many crews usually shoot with one camera. It’s normal to have more than a dozen or twenty shots in a one-minute scene. It’s not uncommon for a film to have a thousand or two thousand shots. .

There is often a crew, the director leads the crew to film, and the editor is locked in a small room with the equipment, editing the material that is shot every day.

"Boss, the film machine is too troublesome, I can't play it anymore."

Guo Fan was only an assistant director, and after watching the three-day filming, he felt that it was not an ordinary trouble.

"Trouble is a little troublesome, but we are still doing well. Those old masters in the studio used to be more troublesome than us."

Li Qian shook his head, "At that time, it was really not easy to shoot an action with one camera and break it down into three or four shots."

Most of the time, their crew shoots with one camera, and the other one at the opening ceremony is temporarily borrowed for use.

Only the scene where the two fathers and sons talk to each other is filmed, which requires two shots to be shot at the same time, and there are also some fighting scenes and chase scenes that use two cameras.

The consequence of shooting with one camera is that there are too many shots.

For example, a scene in which one person splashes the face of the opposite person with a glass of water is shot with a film camera, and if close-ups are required, this is not one shot, at least four shots are required.

Although it is not unaffordable to have one more camera, indoor scenes do not rely on natural light, and the lighting restricts the camera positions tightly. The burden caused by this aspect is much more troublesome than one more camera.

Of course, actors will also be more tired, and Deng Chao often repeats the same action over and over again.

It's not a problem to act exactly the same every time. If you can't do this, you can't be considered a qualified actor and forget about it.

I filmed Deng Chao's daily life for three days, showing the character and situation of the characters in an all-round way. Next, I have to shoot some interesting scenes.

We moved to another studio, where we set up two identical rooms.

But now there is no need to shoot at the same time. After the two confirm each other's identity, the subsequent dialogue must be filmed together. Only in this way can the father-son relationship be shown more naturally, and the actors' performances will be more emotional.

In the current scene, the two have just started contacting each other, and they don't know each other's identity yet. They found that their interests and hobbies are somewhat similar, so they can chat.

"Just chat like ordinary friends."

Li Qian said something to Deng Chao and announced the start.

Zhang Hanyu was answering the lines for Deng Chao, "Are you from Shenyang too? Do you watch football? It's a pity that we didn't win consecutive championships last year. This year's champion must be from the Dongyao team."

"East Medicine Team?"

Deng Chao was a little confused. Isn't the Dongyao team supposed to be the Hongyuan team more than ten years ago?

Zhang Hanyu still said to himself, "Last year, the full back was our weak link. This year, Zhao Shigang of the big chain team was added. He and Li Xicai, who is still strong, are separated on both sides. ...."

It was effortless to speak a long list of lines, and Zhang Hanyu didn't just read the lines, it was like chatting about football with an old friend.

Deng Chao was still stupefied, Zhang Hanyu continued, "Now that Dongyao has won consecutive victories against Bayi, Shanghai, Tianjing, and Jingcheng, the next game will be against East Guangdong. It is time to avenge the previous losing streak!"

"Hey, what did you say?"

The more I listened, the more confused I became. Where did Deng Chao come from the East Medicine Team these days.

However, he watched this winning streak with his father when he was a child, and his father died in the fire afterwards, and the impression was still very deep.

So he said, "I know Zhao Shigang, he helped the team win the championship in the first year he joined the Dongyao team. He plays fiercely and dares to fight..."

But when the time came, the signal was interrupted before finishing speaking.

"Hey, are you still there?"

"Hey?"

The radio kept beating, but there was no sound from the other side.

"Okay, take a break and drink some water."

Li Qian yelled to stop, and took advantage of Deng Chao's time to rest, and said beside him, "Brother Chao, you are still a little calm, and after discovering that the other party and you have a lot in common, the expression on your face should be more cheerful. "

"Thinking about this character, I have been living in a mess for so many years, and my life is a mess. I have no one else to talk to except a brother who grew up with me. When you meet such a stranger at this time, you are not face to face. There will be no communication barriers."

"There's a saying, "A long drought brings rain, and that's what it means. After being alone for a long time, and suddenly someone has a good conversation with you, the joy from the heart will be released on your face."

Long drought meets rain....

Deng Chao was speechless for a while, this Li Qian is also a high-achieving student in 211 school after all, why is his wording so inappropriate.

Chapter 90 When the filming is in progress (please recommend tickets!)

In the Huairou film and television base, Li Qian, the crew executive, photographer, artist, lighting, and actors got together early in the morning to watch the film that had been printed and sent in the early morning.

Shooting has been going on for a week, and everything is going well.

The whole movie is the performance of the two fathers and sons, and the other killers and mothers are just embellishments.

The current scenes are not very difficult, they are all dialogues between the characters, the chase, fighting, and explosion scenes are still behind, it is easy to shoot, it is nothing more than time-consuming.

Meetings every morning and evening, watching movies, acting during the day, and sleeping for six hours.

After watching the film, there is no problem, but there is a lens that is out of focus.

Every time the most nervous time is to watch movies with me. Once there is any problem, the hard work of the day will be wasted.

The rest was handed over to the editor for rough editing, and Li Qian took everyone to breakfast.

At the dinner table, Li Qian took a big bite of a big meat bun, and arranged for everyone, "Old Zhang, Brother Chao, eat quickly, let's make up for that out-of-focus shot first."

"Ok".

Zhang Zhonghua responded without raising his head, and quickened his mouth movements.

The lighting engineer at the next table also killed a big steamed stuffed bun in two bites, hurrying up to have breakfast.

Deng Chao didn't even have time to eat, so he stuffed the steamed stuffed bun into his mouth in two or three bites, took another steamed stuffed bun and milk and ate it while walking, and then went to make up.

Zhang Zhonghua and the lighting engineer also quickly finished their breakfast, and shouted at the operator, follower, and several lighting assistants at the other table.

"start work!"

The master called to work, and several assistants quickly picked it up and ate while walking, and walked quickly to the studio.

The work of the crew is like this, busy, annoying, and tiring.

But it's not bad, it's an indoor scene anyway, the capital is not so hot in September, and the ventilation in the studio is okay, much better than outdoors.
