Su Yan squinted his eyes and woke up. He didn't react for a moment. He didn't know what day it was and where he was. He calmed down and thought about it, oh! It turns out that the life of the second eating crew has begun again.
I thought I would have insomnia last night, but I didn't expect that I slept until dawn. It seems that I already have a big heart and can handle projects worth hundreds of millions calmly.
I took out my mobile phone from the side of Chengtou and saw that it was already past seven o'clock. This time is relatively early for ordinary people, but for people filming, it is really a bit too late.
He quickly jumped up and washed up quickly in the bathroom. Just after wiping his face, Li Shanggen knocked on the door.
"Is the director up?"
Su Yan went over and opened the door.
"Are you all up? Hurry up and ask the hotel to prepare breakfast and then set off."
Li Shangen smiled and said: "You don't need to explain, I have already eaten. Please go downstairs quickly. I will take people over to prepare."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. By the way, you can bring over the shot list first. I have already outlined the scenes and shots to be shot, and let the scene notes write them down."
Li Shanggen took the list from the opponent's hand. It was filled with dense hand-drawn drawings and annotations, which would make anyone without professional training feel dizzy after reading it.
Generally speaking, a movie must first have an idea and a story outline. Then, the screenwriter creates a script based on the story and teaches it to the director. The director then changes the original script into a scene-by-scene script and a scene-by-shot script.
The so-called scene-by-scene script is to divide the original script into scenes and list the shooting sequence; this shooting sequence is not based on the development of the storyline, but is based on the actor's schedule, the rental and use of equipment and venues, seasonal changes in weather, etc.
It is determined by many practical factors.
The scene script can be changed into a shot script, that is, each scene is divided into several shots. The scene script and the shot script are generally created by the director himself. The shot script is the final proof of the director's work, and each scene is marked in it.
By reading the scene and length of the lens, you can clearly understand a director's use of artistic techniques such as lens use, photography angles, and lighting and color. This is the most intuitive reflection of the director's personal style.
When it comes to serious work, Su Yan is still very serious and meticulous. He had done the work in advance last night, and there were only three shots in the morning shooting.
It seems very little,
But because it is the first scene of the crew and it is an ensemble play, the importance can be imagined. If it can be completed smoothly, it will also have an impact on everyone's mentality.
Therefore, he not only visited the stadium several times on the spot, but also went through the shooting in his mind several times before going to bed.
Half an hour later, Su Yan arrived.
"Good morning director!"
The staff seemed to be in good condition and greeted each other one after another.
Under Li Shanggen's guidance, he went straight to the director's seat, which was the audience stage on the sidelines, and looked down from a high position.
Half of the venue has been decorated. A dozen tents with red cross signs have been set up, containing various medical equipment. There are also ambulances and police cars with their overhead lights flashing. More than 300 groups of people have been there.
The actors wore different costumes and waited in their respective places.
"The cameras are already in place. According to your arrangement, the actors are putting on makeup..." Li Shanggen reported the situation.
Su Yan nodded and sat behind the monitor: "Come and walk through it first."
He doesn't need to worry about speaking to a group of people because there are no lines. He just needs to focus on doing things that fit his role. In addition, he can't block or look into the camera. The scope of his activities is determined by the scene.
The director informed.
Li Shangen picked up the big speaker next to him.
"Attention all units, we will start rehearsing the moves now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the extras who were sitting or standing below immediately started to take action. There were also several crew members who were watching to see if there were any mistakes.
Su Yan looked at the constantly moving crowd and was quite satisfied.
There are indeed many advantages to shooting in a film and television city. In addition to the convenient setting, the group actors are more experienced. These people are nearby residents or professional workers. They have participated in some productions and have some understanding, which is better than completely
Amateurs are more experienced.
A minute passed and everyone was ready.
"action!"
With a loud shout, the originally quiet stadium suddenly became noisy.
Actors in police uniforms began to maintain order, patients on stretchers groaned, doctors performed examinations in tents, and ordinary people looked around for their lost relatives.
The entire scene was shot with a large crane camera in a 30-second long shot, from left to right, from high to low.
"good! cut."
Su Yan shouted, then waved and called Li Shangshun over.
"Here, take a look. I think it can be put directly into the movie. After the rescue, it switches to daytime and uses this long shot as a connection. But here," he paused and pointed to the screen with his finger: "This extra act is in the movie.
"Laughing, if the expression on the side doesn't work, it can be cut out and turned into two shots."
After reading it, Li Shangen nodded repeatedly: "This is so smooth."
Su Yan stood up and said, "This is the result of your thorough preparation." He walked to the front and called the photographer's name loudly without using the speaker.
"Kim Hyun Kyung! Good job!"
After saying that, he gave a thumbs up.
The other party didn't understand what was going on. When the director gave him a thumbs up, he just smiled politely. When Li Shanggen told him through the earphones that the shot just now was directly usable, he was also very surprised.
The other staff members were very happy when they got the news. This is a good sign!
"Director Su, the actors are ready. Go down and have a look."
"Oppa, we're not here yet, have you already taken a shot?" Yoona asked impatiently when she saw Su Yan.
Several actors were surprised when he nodded.
"It seems we can finish work at noon today."
"Take a nap and get up to shoot night scenes. It's great."
"The director is really great."
They are not stingy with their words of praise either.
Su Yan also smiled: "How are you doing?" He was asking the two leading actors.
Cao Zheng rubbed his eyes: "I didn't go to bed until three o'clock anyway, and I didn't get up until after six o'clock, and my eyes were bloodshot."
"Me too." Yoona said next to her.
This was Su Yan's request. In the script, the two protagonists stayed up all night and ran all night, so he asked them to stay up for a while. Although makeup can express this state, what he wanted was more real.
Effect.
Yoona's face was covered in black ash, her work clothes were stained with various dusts, and there were holes in some places, and her eyes were a little red and swollen, just as Su Yan expected.
"Okay, get ready to start shooting." He stretched out his hand to shake Cao Zheng's hand, but suddenly he stopped letting go.
When everyone was wondering, Su Yan grabbed Yoona's hand and looked at it.
"Makeup artist, makeup artist!"
he shouted loudly.
"Here we come!" The two eldest sisters ran over in a hurry.
Li Shangen also stepped forward and took a look. There was nothing wrong with it. There were some wounds and his hands were full of black ash.
"Nails, their nails are too clean and they get some mud into the cracks."
Everyone suddenly realized that as a professional actor, they did not think that Su Yan was being picky. The camera may not be able to capture it, and even if it is captured, the audience may not notice it, but it must be rigorous.
In fact, the makeup artist had already thought that Yoona, as the deputy manager of the hotel, had to do reception work, and she didn't even have a manicure or nail polish, but she didn't consider the details.
After a slight delay of two minutes, the shooting was ready.
"You guys should act it out according to your own understanding first." Su Yan didn't say much. They were all actors. He wouldn't interfere with the other party until they encountered a problem.
After seeing the director sit back down and making an OK gesture, the recorder came to the middle.
The directing department of a modern film is composed of three main parts: the director, the assistant director, and the script writer. The director and assistant directors usually have assistants. The script writer's main responsibility is to record the scenes and shot numbers on a writing board, which is equivalent to the director's secretary.
When filming a movie, take a black board and write the xth shot of scene xx and the name of the scene. Put the board in front of the camera, listen to the director's call to get ready, and knock down the board, "
There is a "stuck" sound, and the machine starts to rotate. This sound means that all irrelevant people in the audience can no longer enter the camera range, and the film recorded at the same time also requires that the scene must be absolutely silent after this sound, and sounds that do not belong to the work must not be allowed.
Enter the radio.
"Chug, tug, tug, tug, tug!"
The helicopter moved slowly in the air, and the rescue capsule underneath landed on the ground a few seconds later. After opening the fence, the hero and heroine walked out together with other rescued people.
"ok, cut!"
This shot is relatively simple. There are three cameras shooting from different angles. After Su Yan took the shot twice, he passed it after seeing if there was no problem.
Next, the two protagonists walked through the crowd waiting for their family members to return, and then the male protagonist cried with joy when he saw his little nephew.
"Scene 2, Act 3, action!"
A row of police officers maintained order at the front. Dozens of extras looked eagerly in the direction of the helicopter and shouted the names of their loved ones. Some people ran forward from behind and bumped the male protagonist on the shoulder.
Hug your loved ones together.
Li Yongnan, the male protagonist in the play, and Zheng Yizhu walked side by side, with tired and calm faces on their faces.
"cut, again!"
Su Yan shouted expressionlessly.
The actors automatically return to their places.
"action!"
Come again!
"cut, again!"
Su Yan shouted cut again, picked up the walkie-talkie at hand, and after seeing that the translation was in place, he began to explain the problem.
"Li Yongnan," he directly said the name in the play: "There is something wrong with your expression, it is too calm."
"Director, I think this is right. We have just experienced a disaster, and we ran all night. We certainly cannot be as energetic as others. Moreover, the male protagonist watched his family being rescued and knew that they were safe.
, wouldn’t it be more realistic to be calmer?”
Others in the crew are not surprised. This kind of discussion about the plot happens from time to time, and each director handles it differently. The hard-line ones will ask the actors to follow their own ideas, and some will follow the actors' opinions. They
I also want to see how Su Yan handles it.
"You are right, so Yoona's performance is fine. Just like what you said, she has exhausted all her energy. But you are different, because your sister's life or death is still uncertain. Your personality is that you would rather live on your own.
Well, I also hope that my family is safe, and I should be anxious to know about my sister at this time."
"Ah! That's right, I forgot about this." Cao Zheng slapped his thigh: "I'm sorry, director, please do it again."
After he finished speaking, he bowed and apologized to the staff and extras around him.
Ten minutes later, Su Yan shouted "good", indicating that the camera had passed.
There were unpredictable weather conditions. It was still sunny when I woke up in the morning, but now it is a little cloudy.
But Su Yan and Li Shanggen were overjoyed when they saw it. Originally, there was a scene where they were going to use a fire truck to rain down rain, but it seemed that it was no longer needed.
"Director, Ha Ji-won is here." A staff member came to report.
"Don't come to see me. Let her change clothes quickly. The nurse's clothes. Remember to wear a mask." Su Yan must seize the time and finish shooting the other two scenes before it rains.
...
Finally, at 12 noon, the rain fell, and the male and female protagonists stood face to face, looking at the sky. The daytime shooting was successfully completed.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone, pack your things and have a good rest in the afternoon. The evening show starts at seven o'clock." After Su Yan finished speaking loudly, he turned around and went to see Ha Ji Won.
"I'm sorry, I was rushing to catch up and I really didn't have time to come over just now."
The young lady smiled and didn't take it seriously: "Director Su is very powerful. It's not easy to resolve such a big scene in one morning."
"Thank you. Do you want to have dinner together at noon?"
"Forget it, I have to rush back to Seoul. I wish the filming goes well!"
The two chatted casually for a few words and then separated.
"Oppa, how was my performance this morning?" Yoona asked.
"Hmm..." Su Yan pondered for a while: "Perfect, especially when I take a taxi with Taixian, it's very relaxing."
The old car next to me had a very sharp ear: "Director, we are friends, why do you have to fight three times? My face is turning red."
"Senior, I'm sorry!" Yoona has apologized several times.
"It's okay, I'm not targeting you." Cha Taehyun was just joking.
"Then if we finish work early tonight, can I treat you to a midnight snack?" Su Yan said with a smile.
