Chapter 16 Cocooning Oneself
"Ahua, although this kind of shooting is very beautiful, the cost of renting equipment is not small. The rent of one camera per day costs 800. If you rent 5 cameras, it will cost 4,000 per day. The film you shoot costs a lot of money. It's really...
It's a bit of a waste, you have to make plans!" After Liu Shiyu calmed down, he walked over and said worriedly.
Xie Changhua was noncommittal about his words, nodded and said: "I also know that machine money and salary account for the majority of the cost, and scene props come second, so I plan to start the machine later to save some money and design the basic action scenes first.
At the beginning of filming, without the help of a camera, it would take several days of rehearsals to avoid errors with these coordinated movements. I specifically asked Xiaodong, who had worked in the theater troupe, to design this. After we finished designing these difficult movements
, just turn on the camera, shoot all the cameras, return a few machines, cut some of the footage and give it to Uncle Tianlin, and ask him to help us find a good schedule."
Wang Jing, who had been listening by the side, immediately stood up and said: "No problem, if you shoot like this, you will definitely get a good schedule, but be careful yourself, piracy becomes popular very quickly, I will also take it with you
Let me watch the clips and delete some exciting ones to avoid being pirated."
He said pointedly. Although he didn't say it directly, the three of them knew who he was talking about. Having seen the struggle in it, they knew the cruelty of the entertainment industry. Back then, TVB deliberately extended its TV series by more than half an hour to let the audience
There is no way to transfer the channel to Jiashi's TV series, so the other party can't pick up the plot of the first episode. So far, the ratings have not been high. The TV station will also eavesdrop on the plan to snap pictures. If it wants to punish people, it is for the three people now.
It's deadly.
The three of them, Xie Changhua, looked at each other and nodded. This is the road for the three of them to become famous, and they will definitely be careful and prudent.
Liu Shiyu thought for a while and said: "Let me and Lao Du consider the issue of confidentiality on the set. If Xiaodong mentions it, he will definitely know what to do. You just need to make a good film. In addition, I have considered it.
Set up two or three cameras, fix one to shoot medium and long shots, and shoot the whole fighting scene to make it clear and clear. Fix the actors' actions in two directions. In some scenes, such as the direction of falling to the ground, low-altitude hand-held shots are taken for close-up shots, and the high-position camera is taken out temporarily.
It’s okay to use it, but lastly, don’t forget to put my and Lao Du’s names on the photography and editing.”
"I think so too. It's enough to keep three channels, but what about the name?" He looked at Liu Shiyu ponderingly, and seeing that his expression did not change, he stopped joking: "The name is not worth anything. Assistant director, I will give you the name."
Two more will be added, editing and photography will be added by three of us. Ah Jing, if you want, we will add them too."
"Me too, I'll join them all as well. I also want to be a director in the future." Ah Jing shouted in surprise.
After Liu Shiyu heard this, he smiled and said, "You are interested. By the way, I will buy your film and study it when I get back. How did you come up with the idea of using it? How many minutes did it take?"
"At the 53rd minute, the boss took the younger brother to snatch the young lady and come back."
"What a waste of you to use it in a place like this!" Liu Shiyu pointed at him and shook his head with regret.
Xie Changhua shook his head: "Practice your skills, otherwise what would you do in a big production? The purpose of making a film is to practice editing. There are only three people fighting in it. One person cuts someone, the other person dodges and slashes back, and the other person kicks the person away.
Such simple movements are all scattered fragments. Not many people will notice it, but you still expect me to train those young and Dangerous boys well!"
He then sighed and said: "I hope someone can discover it, but few filmmakers will pay attention to the movies that are not released. Those who watch them are all for that aspect. Alas, they are failed works."
"Don't be complacent and act like a good boy. You're so beautiful inside. Don't think I don't know." Old Liu said angrily.
Xie Changhua looked at him proudly and said nothing, just twisted his body.
Before they could rest for long, Cheng Xiaodong came over and said, "Sheng Xie, you can give it a try. Let's go through it quickly and see if it works."
"Okay." After Xie Changhua said that, he led a group of people over.
After the protagonist played by Cheng Xiaodong joined in, he waved his hand and the dragon and tiger martial arts masters began to perform. After Cheng Xiaodong knocked away the first enemy with a punch, he quickly blocked the second person's flying kick with his hand, and just took a few steps back.
On the other hand, another enemy attacked and hit him in the chest. He dodged and was kicked away by a second person from behind. In order to perform realistically, they actually hit him with several of their actions.
"It's great to have made such rapid progress in such a short period of time. Especially you captured the positions of several shots very accurately. It seems that you also have the talent of a director. But if you stand where we are, you can see that there are some
People still can't cooperate. If people get up too fast or too slow, it will make the shooting unsmooth. We need to continue to improve. If possible, add a few eyes to notice the movements of attacking Xilai from the corner of the eye. This can make it more realistic.
The pace can be slowed down a bit so that it is not too fast, and then the protagonist can be given more ways to hide by ducking or rolling, and tricks to knock the enemy away while falling to the ground, etc." Xie Changhua said after reading it.
"Okay, don't worry, I will speed up the rehearsals in the next few days, but the camera arrangements still need to be coordinated." He breathed back.
"No problem, I will let Lao Liu discuss it with you in the next few days. Tang Jia will also come to cooperate with you. We can sign the contract tomorrow. In three days at most, I will send the male and female protagonists over. If the training is almost done, we will
Just turn it on."
Cheng Xiaodong wiped his sweat and said in a strong tone: "No problem, I'm just waiting for you to speak."
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, remember...to keep it secret." He said before leaving.
"I understand, don't worry, there will never be any problems with my people!"
…
On the way back, Xie Changhua whispered to Liu Shiyu: "Tomorrow, invite Axiu to dinner with me and trick her into playing the leading role. She happened to have made a kung fu movie and is considered a beater. It can save some time. I miss her."
We will not refuse to be on camera, but our main purpose is to let her lead the way and trick Wang Yu, the male protagonist, into her role. By using the two of them who just finished filming The God of War in February, we can give some news to the tabloids and stir up scandals.
I think you know better than me the tricks to get in love, and it will be easier to clean up."
"You are really bad, bullying an old classmate like this, but hey, I support you, it's so popular!" Liu Shiyu nodded vigorously and laughed.
"Of course, everything is for the sake of the movie, and the sacrifices are all worth it." Xie Changhua said confidently.
"Wow, you really have no conscience. I have to be careful with you. But last year, the tabloids also arranged for you and Axiu to be used together. In order to make the rumored girlfriend popular, you spent huge sums of money on filming, plus a love triangle.
I promise the effect will be better!" Wang Jing said with a smile of course.
"I……"
"Hey, I think this one is better. Just sacrifice it for the sake of box office!" Liu Shiyu immediately interrupted him.
Xie Changhua quickly argued: "You have to think about Axiu, a love triangle will kill your popularity!"
