The next morning, there was a "swish" sound in the bathroom and the sound of water coming out of the faucet.
Liu Yifei stuffed the blanket into the sink and let the water wet the blanket before washing it.
She picked up her phone and looked at it. There were many text message notifications.
In order to allow the actors to have more energy to ponder the script and characters, and to better understand the world view of the story, Tang Jili temporarily adjusted the start time of the project from 6:30 am to 8 am last night.
Moreover, the scenes of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were filmed first, giving the other actors more time to prepare and find their form.
The actors who received the text messages and notifications from their assistants also sent messages to Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, all with words like "thank you" and "lucky you".
Whether it's the director's fault or their own fault, it's a fact that the filming schedule was delayed because of them.
Now that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei have taken on the important task of avoiding continued delays in progress, they have been given time to study and observe, and it is appropriate to express their gratitude.
Liu Yifei replied to her actor friends and teachers one by one, then put her phone into the pocket of her light blue jeans.
Seeing that the water in the sink was almost full and the blanket was soaking in it, she turned off the faucet, poured some laundry detergent into the sink, and started scrubbing the blanket.
If it was ordinary clothes, Zeng Ni could help put them in the washing machine and wash them.
But it would be best for them to clean the private things she and Chu Xuan used themselves to avoid embarrassment.
The simply family-style suite has its own small balcony to dry clothes, which is very convenient.
Liu Yifei spent a few minutes cleaning the blanket, went to the living room, opened the floor-to-ceiling window, walked into the small balcony, and hung the blanket to dry on the pole.
In recent February, the average temperature in Los Angeles was 27 or 8 degrees Celsius. The morning sun was warm and dazzling. The sunshine that hit her face made her squint, making her feel warm and comfortable.
She dried the blanket, exited the small balcony, closed the window and door, and walked to the bedroom.
When she came to the door, she saw Chu Xuan, who was half leaning against the bedside and had just woken up, looking confused.
Chu Xuan's appearance looked very cute to her. She smiled and said, "Get up quickly, it's seven o'clock."
Chu Xuan stretched, yawned and nodded.
Suddenly there was some movement outside the door. Liu Yifei turned to look at the door. She turned around and walked to the door in curiosity, opened the door and walked out.
In the long corridor, at the door of a room not far away, actor friends were muttering about something.
She also saw that Sister Zeng Ni was there, so maybe her mother was also there?
Liu Yifei became more curious and walked over. As she got closer and closer, she faintly heard crying: "What's wrong?"
An Zhijie glanced at Liu Yifei, looking like he was hesitating to speak: "You'd better go over the wall and check it out on domestic micro-entertainment, it's hard to tell."
Liu Yifei looked into the room through the gap between the heads. Zhong Xintong kept wiping her tears with tissues and looked very broken. Cai Zhuoyan was also crying. Her mother, Brother Chenglong and their assistant seemed to be comforting her.
Micro entertainment?
Could it be that there is another public opinion incident in the country?
Liu Yifei didn't feel comfortable asking, but she couldn't help but be curious. She turned around and ran back to the bedroom, where she opened her laptop and checked it out.
When she clicked on a news item, the photos inside made her eyes widen.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xuan finished washing and walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing Chu Xuan approaching, Liu Yifei quickly pressed down the notebook cover: "Don't look at it!"
Chu Xuan was a little confused and couldn't figure out what was going on: "What the hell?"
Liu Yifei turned him around and pushed his back towards the closet: "Change your clothes."
He quickly dressed and walked out of the room with Liu Yifei. He saw Chenglong and Liu Xiaoli walking out of Cai Zhuoyan's room.
After the two parties met, Chu Xuan asked: "What's going on?"
"Do you know what happened online?" Chenglong asked.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded.
"What happened two days ago." Chenglong pressed the elevator button and waited outside the elevator: "A computer repairman went to Chen Guanxi's house to repair the computer and copied some photos, which then aroused public opinion."
The elevator door opened and a group of people walked in.
Chenglong crossed his arms and watched An Zhijie press the button on the first floor. He said: "The Internet is so developed. Micro-entertainment, post bars, and forums are all spread day and night. The public opinion caused cannot be covered up."
"Then what should we do?" Liu Xiaoli said.
Chenglong shook his head: "Although it only involves Zhong Xintong, Cai Zhuoyan and her are a team. If one loses, they both lose. The two of them will not be able to film. Let's see what Yinghuang does."
Everyone sighed inwardly, everything was fine yesterday, but when they woke up early this morning, their respective assistants told them what had happened, which caught everyone off guard.
The terrible thing about public opinion is that it changes rapidly. Nothing may happen one moment, but everything will collapse the next moment.
Cai Zhuoyan and Zhong Xintong are two little queens. Yinghuang has given them such huge film resources. After the movie is released, I think their careers will be even higher.
Now it's good, all the efforts of the past few years are probably in vain.
"In any case, distributing such photos has constituted a crime." Chenglong said.
"The company will sue." Chen Weiting said solemnly.
He, Cai Zhuoyan and Zhong Xintong are both Yinghuangs. There is no competition for resources between men and women, and they usually play well.
Now that something happened to his two friends, he felt uncomfortable.
The actors also feel the same way. If you are accidentally photographed by paparazzi outside, consider yourself unlucky.
But they are also deeply disgusted by this kind of exposure of celebrities' private lives.
Of course, this kind of private life is indeed not good and has a bad influence.
But looking at the big picture, no one wants their life to be exposed at a glance.
What happened to Cai Zhuoyan and Zhong Xintong gave them the same hatred and hatred.
Liu Xiaoli was also very emotional. The two beautiful girls who usually looked young and shy were happy, lively and very lovable, but she didn't expect that there was a problem in their private life, and she didn't know what to say.
Liu Yifei felt uncomfortable because something like this happened to two friends of the same age she had just made. She just prayed that the artist friends in the company would be more disciplined and not get into trouble, otherwise she would be very sad.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Xuan was silent, thinking of something deeper.
It stands to reason that if a man gets some pornographic photos and keeps them privately, it is more in line with the behavioral logic of normal people.
Just like a pornographic movie, if you get it and keep it for yourself, who would go online to promote it? Isn't this sick?
Even if it is publicized, netizens will not promote it spontaneously.
In the same way, most people who get such things will only keep them privately instead of spreading them around.
Based on this normal logic, pornographic photos have fermented into public opinion over a day and night. Only one would believe it if there were no trolls behind it to add fuel to the flames.
However, what ability does a computer repairman have to mobilize a large number of trolls? So that the news becomes public opinion overnight?
He doesn't know the specific situation, but he has reason to believe that someone is probably targeting Yinghuang and trying to bring down three popular Yinghuang artists, including Chen Guanxi, Cai Zhuoyan and Zhong Xintong.
"Don't think too much, it won't affect our movie." Chenglong patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder. Seeing what Chu Xuan had been thinking about, he thought Chu Xuan was worried about the movie's problems, but the two supporting characters were not worried about it.
Influence a blockbuster film.
What Chu Xuan was thinking about was what he had just speculated about.
He and Chu Xuan had the same idea. At most, someone would target Yinghuang, not their movie.
If we really wanted to target their movie, it would be to expose the dirty stuff about him, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
Chen Guanxi, Cai Zhuoyan, and Zhong Xintong are currently the three people with the highest commercial value under Yinghuang.
If these three people collapse, whoever benefits in the end will most likely be the one leading the process.
But even if the public opinion dissipates and the party behind the scenes emerges, there is nothing Yinghuang can do.
If you don't want others to know about it, don't do it unless you do it yourself.
As a public figure, someone has caught him doing something inappropriate in his private life. Who can blame him?
In his heart, Yinghuang will suffer a huge loss this time.
The three Asian-level first-tier players that were finally cultivated were finished in one go. This also dealt a certain blow to a large company like Yinghuang.
"They have a flight in the afternoon. Let's see them off together when we have time." Liu Xiaoli walked out of the elevator.
She didn't know whether these two girls really had evil intentions or if they were really innocent.
Just based on these days of getting along with each other, she would be nice and call her "Auntie" every time she saw her. She was also willing to give these two girls a ride with a kind heart and finally give them some comfort.
"Auntie, I'll go with you." Chen Weiting said.
"I'll go too." Lin Feng said.
"Count me in." Zhang Yuqi said.
They may be familiar with Liu Xiaoli, but they are not familiar with her either.
During the training in Xiangjiang, and during the days when they came to Los Angeles, the exchanges between them made them realize the kindness of Liu Xiaoli.
Perhaps because of Chu Xuan's mother-in-law status, even though Liu Xiaoli had nothing to do with the crew, her words made them feel convinced.
"I'll come to the studio to meet you in the afternoon." At the entrance of the hotel, Liu Xiaoli and Zeng Ni were going shopping to see the New Year's goods, so they said goodbye to everyone for a while.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei got into the car with everyone and set off for the film and television base.
In the studio, staff from various departments were preparing for shooting, and Tang Jili was on set to provide guidance.
As the director of the production, I must have known about Cai Zhuoyan and Zhong Xintong for a long time.
But there was no emotion or anger on his face. It was probably just a trivial matter to him. As long as nothing happened to Chenglong, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, it would be easy to talk about anything.
"They were recalled by Yinghuang to handle public opinion matters, and Zheng Xiyi and Liang Luosi were sent to replace them." Tang Jili returned from the set to the monitor, gave a brief explanation and gave up, not intending to go into details.
Yinghuang responded quickly and immediately introduced two artists, who seemed to be focused on training.
This also means that under the judgment of Ying Huang, the public opinion in the country will inevitably end up being hidden. This is also a very helpless choice.
When Chu Xuan heard what Tang Jili said, even though he didn't know how big the public opinion was in the country, he could imagine that netizens and fans were already making a fuss.
"Don't be affected, shoot well and prepare." Tang Jili warned Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and then said to the other actors: "And you, hurry up and think about it, discuss with each other, and find a good state.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei went to the makeup studio with their team. Actors An Zhijie, Chen Weiting and other actors also focused on the script and filming.
An actor's condition is something that the entire crew does not want to see, but it is impossible for the entire crew to stop working because of this incident.
Those who have to work still have to work, and at most, this matter can be treated as a minor episode.
"Let's get started, record the game."
The shooting plan was adjusted to focus on filming the scenes between Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
All the actors gathered around the monitor to watch the performance of these two people.
Although the performance styles of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are different from the "extraordinary" performance styles they are required to perform, if you look more closely, you can always find some performance details that can be learned and applied.
This is also based on the trust in Chu Xuan, who is also the person who pioneered the performance method. Even though he is young, with the mentality of masters as teachers, they all look at it with a learning perspective.
"Our state must be different from theirs." Chen Weiting said.
"You can tell the difference at first glance." Lin Feng nodded.
"They are all human faces. They look different when standing together. This is a bit difficult." An Zhijie said.
"Find the difference. They are human beings with normal lives, and we are survivors who live precariously in a world of killing all year round." Hui Yinghong summed up the difference.
"Well, this sums it up well. The way we perform must be different. The emotions we express must be different from those of normal people. Eyes, micro-expressions, and mental state are all points that need to be considered." Zou Zhaolong said.
"Yes." Chenglong nodded: "Alice in "Resident Evil" is numb to killing zombies, and she won't have any feelings or emotions when encountering zombies again."
"We are this kind of people. Your play yesterday was too emotional and too normal and human. But in fact, you are not normal human beings. Why do you need so many emotions?"
Hui Yinghong pondered for a moment and said: "Looking at the entire script, from the perspective of the characters, we should not show that there is 'light', but should be lifeless, because we can't see hope."
"After Wei Ran and Lin Yi came to our world, their fear, screaming, and panic were in contrast to ours."
"Under this contrast, we slowly regained our humanity. This should be the logic."
"That's right." Tang Jili turned around and said, "How should you play your roles? Just think about it in this direction."
"You and the male and female protagonists achieve mutual success. The audience understands the underlying logic of the worldview through their perspectives. You shape the characters through their existence, and they present the entire worldview framework through your cognition."
All the actors thought thoughtfully, and after watching the scenes of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, they discussed with each other and found a proper direction of interpretation. However, they still need time to find the interpretation style of their respective characters in this direction.
In the afternoon, Liu Xiaoli came to the studio to watch a scene, and then set off to Los Angeles Airport with a group of actors who had free time.
In the terminal square, Zhong Xintong looked very poor, and her red eyes had no tears left in her eyes.
Cai Zhuoyan is not much better. Although the incident did not affect her, her career will definitely be greatly affected.
Liu Xiaoli sighed inwardly and hugged them respectively: "Okay, no matter what the outcome is, people always have to look forward. When the matter is over, go travel and relax. You can also call and chat with auntie when you have time."
Cai Zhuoyan and Zhong Xintong nodded and said nothing. They were probably in a terrible mood.
Chen Weiting, Lin Feng and others hugged them respectively. After saying "come on", they were all a bit at a loss for words. Faced with such a thing, they didn't know how to encourage them. Seeing that the two of them were in no mood, it was better to say less.
Everyone watched the two people and their assistants enter the terminal, and they could only wish you good luck in their hearts.
In the evening, the plane flew back to China carrying two sad and beautiful girls.
At the same time the next day, the plane came from Xiangjiang, China, carrying two happy and beautiful girls.
"Welcome, welcome!" The applause in the photo continued.
Zheng Xiyi and Liang Luosi were very flattered. They kept bowing and said: "Hello teachers, please take care of me."
The director's teacher gave them the script, told them to read it carefully, and officially handed over the work.
After a brief welcome, the crew focused on the set.
The two newcomers got together with the actors they knew, and while getting familiar with the new environment of the crew, they watched the show with everyone.
In the first ten minutes of the entire movie, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei start the prelude to the main plot. It is not until the male and female protagonists come to the second world to join Chenglong and the others that the real blockbuster begins.
In the prelude plot, 90% is literary drama and 10% martial arts.
With the tacit understanding of the young couple, apart from shooting a few more scenes to polish the martial arts, the literary drama went quite smoothly.
In the case of keeping one line, putting aside the laughable situation, you can get by with only three or five lines at most.
The actors stayed on the set for several days.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei worked hard to find time for them to be in good shape. Naturally, they did not want to disappoint the directing team.
During the break between the young couple's filming, Tang Jili did not waste time. By using several new sets of shots that were discussed with the director team, as the actors slowly found their groove in the performance, they also tried to work with them day by day.
Explore a suitable science fiction style.
Everyone is working hard and cooperating.
As the Chinese New Year was about to come, finally the hard work paid off and Tang Jili experimented with a combined shooting technique of camera operation, lighting and performance.
"Director Tang is awesome!!" Director of Photography Lu Yang was very excited.
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, and all the teachers stood, tightly surrounding the monitor, watching the movement of the boom camera in the monitor through the global lens.
The camera takes Chenglong as the main subject and the center point. It appears to be moving irregularly in mid-air, but in fact it is drawing an arc through various angles.
During the filming of "Hope", there was a three-dimensional surround lens, which took three people, Chen Kaige, Zhang Jizhong and Tang Jili, half a month to complete.
Affected by the equipment at that time, the camera rotation was unstable, the focus and focal length were difficult to correct at the first time, and the circular motion was difficult to accurately position, resulting in irregular movements. It all relied on continuous physical marking and constant attempts, and it took a lot of time and tests to get it right.
.
This shot not only amazed netizens, but also impressed directors like Tang Jili.
It’s very textured, full of three-dimensionality, and full of sci-fi feel.
Tang Jili was inspired by this and extended his consideration of the original shot.
It was so hard to make this lens because the domestic equipment conditions did not allow it.
But at the Hollywood studio, the basic equipment conditions are already there.
Tang Ji Li asked Zeng Zhengzong, a special effects director, to construct a ball with the green cloth of the scene as the background and the main character as the center.
As we all know, taking the center of the ball as a point, any cross section of it is a 360-degree circle of the same size.
On the set, the center of the ball is between Chenglong's eyes.
Use the light device to position the center point. You only need to use the height from Chenglong's eyebrows to the ground as the radius, and locate the hemisphere at five points at the front, back, left, right and between the feet. Then the coordinates of the top of the upper hemisphere can be calculated and positioned.
.
At this point, the six laser beams were positioned with Chenglong's eyebrows as the center point.
Then, place the ultra-clear camera on the crane arm equipped with the light sensing device at any position within the radius distance, use the camera's ray tracing module to set the motion coordinate parameters, position the initial parameters at the center of Chenglong's eyebrows, and then position the six and
Motion parameters of laser coincidence.
In this way, the crane camera will have two modes of movement.
The first one is that when the camera is not moving, if Chenglong jumps, the camera will automatically pan up; if Chenglong squats, the camera will automatically pan down.
In short, the focus of the lens is locked at the center of Chenglong's eyebrows. If Chenglong moves to the left, the camera will automatically move to the left. If Chenglong moves to the right, the lens will automatically move to the right. The lens will follow Chenglong's movement.
Second, when the camera operator controls the camera, in ray tracing mode, no matter how the camera operator operates the camera, the camera will only move on the surface of the positioned ball, and cannot stretch or sink, nor can it escape from the ball.
.
For example, if the cameraman controls the camera to move forward, the camera will no longer move horizontally as usual, but will automatically draw an arc.
Regardless of whether you move right, left or up or down, the camera will automatically draw an arc.
If you keep pushing in one direction, the camera will draw a complete circle with the center of Chenglong's eyebrows as the midpoint.
And this circle can be in any orientation, a horizontal circle, a vertical circle, or an oblique circle with the ground as a reference. As long as the cameraman controls the camera angle, any circle can be drawn by moving the camera lens.
Once these basic parameters are adjusted, the more precise parameter is the focal length.
Assuming that the distance between Chenglong's eyebrows and the ground is 1.6 meters, the camera's movement radius is also 1.6 meters. If the focus is not adjusted, the line of sight of the picture will be restricted.
The larger the focal length, the smaller the visual field of view.
The smaller the focal length, the wider the visual field of view.
By adjusting the focal length according to this rule, the actual distance between the camera lens and the focus point can eventually be realized to be 1.6 meters, but the displayed picture can be 16 meters, 160 meters or even more.
In other words, the actual movement radius can be arbitrarily reduced or enlarged in the final image.
This way of moving the camera can show three more perfect effects.
The first effect is that the camera presents the picture from the perspective of the character, which makes the character and the scene have a strong connection, forcibly establishes an emotional connection, and enhances the audience's sense of involvement.
The second effect is that the camera follows the character's perspective, and the lighting effect is more perfect, because under the same light source, people's sight faces different light effects in different directions. The lens that follows the character's perspective can make this
Different and complete reflections.
The third effect is that through the stable spherical lens movement trajectory and the change of focal length, a grand scene can be presented to the character's vision without switching the screen.
The key point here is not to switch the screen, but to use a three-dimensional surround lens to present the entire spatial environment with only one lens, which greatly enhances the realism and sense of space of the scene.
"So handsome." Chu Xuan smiled while stroking his hands.
This wrap-around shot appeared in "Hope", but it was only a glimpse, and it is temporarily difficult to reproduce it due to domestic conditions.
The shot in "Hope" at that time was called a horizontal surround shot at most, and it could only draw a circle in one direction.
He really didn't expect that Tang Jili would be reproduced here. Not only was it a reproduction, but he also experimented with a more perfect set of spherical surround lenses.
This kind of camera movement seems to have not appeared on the market yet, but he vaguely knows in his memory that such a spherical surround lens will appear for the first time in "Inception".
It’s just that Tang Jili came up with it in advance.
"Awesome!" Chu Xuan was also very excited and pinched Tang Jili's shoulders.
"The boss is the boss. This technique is truly amazing. The science-fiction feel of the lens language is no longer a problem." People on the directing team praised it one after another.
"Director Tang is so amazing." Liu Yifei admired that in just one week, Director Tang had discovered such advanced camera techniques. In her opinion, Tang Jili can definitely be said to be China's number one science fiction director.
one.
Tang Jili was embarrassed by the praise and said modestly: "Okay, okay, it's just a framework at the moment. There are many things that can be done in this ball, such as ellipses, semicircles, etc., which still need to be studied and improved."
He looked at the young couple again and said, "Thank you for your "Hope". Without that experience, I wouldn't have come up with such a thing."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei smiled slightly. This lensing technique in Tang Jili can be regarded as an upgraded version of the original scene in "Hope".
It can only be said that everything is a matter of drink and peck, and things that make people progress will never appear out of thin air. With the experience like that at the beginning, and Tang Jili's own high level, he created the sci-fi lens shooting technique like today.
The director of "Inception" is not inferior to Cameron's Nolan, and he pioneered this shooting technique.
When filming "Inception" in a year or two, will he come to Tang Ji Li to learn from it?
"This is interesting." Chu Xuan felt very interesting in his heart.
"Okay, let's call it a day." Tang Jili stood up and said to Chenglong and the others: "Xuanzi and Qianxi have been tired for so many days. It's time to shoot your movie tomorrow. Let the young couple have two days off."
With this set of camera techniques, the actors have also found their groove. I think there will be many surprises in the subsequent filming.
The entire crew is full of hope for the movie, and the actors are also very happy.
Hearing Tang Jili's words, all the actors nodded as expected. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had been filming for many days in a row. They saw the hardships and hardships involved, and it was time for them to share the pressure.
Chenglong even joked, raised his hands and pressed down on Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, in a worshiping posture: "Fortunately, fortunately."
Actors such as Hui Yinghong, An Zhijie and others followed suit and worshiped the young couple: "Thank you, boss."
"What are you doing?" Liu Yifei was embarrassed and pulled Chu Xuan aside.
The little haze that Cai Zhuoyan and Zhong Xintong brought to the crew has been gradually dissipated in the past few days.
Through the cooperation and efforts of all departments of the crew, Tang Jili was able to develop a very advanced set of camera techniques, which made everyone present happy and excited.
It will be New Year's Eve in two days, and the increasingly festive atmosphere in Chinatown also brings them joy.
Everyone walked out of the studio happily and went back to the hotel together.
Only Liu Yifei had some thoughts. Tomorrow Ireland will come, and she will also go to meet Macron and his wife. How should she fool Chu Xuan?
