Everyone has not yet entered the shooting state, and they did not expect that the first NG would come so quickly.
Lighting engineer Zhou Ren was stunned for a second, then immediately raised his hand and said, "Sorry, Director Tang!"
Tang An nodded and said nothing.
"Scene 19, one shot, two shots!"
"start!"
The second shooting continued, Tang An stared closely at the monitor, Xu Jinglei and Lu Yi reappeared from the corner twice!
"Ka! What happened to the light!"
"The cabin is a closed space with no windows. Why are the lights so bright? How did you write the storyboard I gave you?" Tang An shouted to the lighting team.
"Director Tang..." Zhou Ren opened his mouth and wanted to explain.
Tang An didn't wait for him to speak, and continued to scold, "The main light is 45 degrees from the front of the main body, and the auxiliary light is 75 degrees. Look where it's off!"
A man in his thirties was pointed at his nose by Tang An, a 24-year-old young man, and said that he was still the professional he was good at. Zhou Ren's face looked a little ugly.
He defended, "Today is the first day of turning on the computer, and my subordinates haven't fully entered the state yet..."
Tang An was not deliberately looking for trouble. As long as these people were not stupid, Sun Ming's removal would be enough to stop them from causing trouble.
But he didn't expect these people to treat him so perfunctorily. Do they really think he doesn't understand anything?
"Not in the state? You can get into the state very quickly after lunch!"
"Everyone drank some wine at noon, maybe..."
"How much did team leader drink that week?" Tang An asked angrily.
Seeing everyone on the crew staring at him, Zhou Ren said bravely, "Director Tang, you told me this morning. Of course I didn't drink much, but it's rare for everyone to have a good meal..."
"Since Team Leader Zhou is not drunk, why didn't you check it before filming, and why didn't you check it during the first NG pass?" Tang An stared at Zhou Ren and said word by word.
Without waiting for his answer, Tang An ordered several lighting assistants on the side who lowered their heads and dared not make a sound, "The main light position is about 15 degrees downward, the auxiliary light position on the front side of the car is 25 degrees to the left, and the outline light is moved back two degrees.
Step 1, aim the camera, dim the lights a little, and let the photographer see the effect!"
"Turn off the side backlight, turn off the top light, don't put the headlights too close together, spread them out a little!"
"Old Xu, Lu Yi is restored!"
After the instruction, Tang An asked Xu Jinglei and Lu Yi to stand back to their original positions and then made some minor adjustments. The photographer also looked at the effect through the lens.
I didn't take pictures of these adjustments. After all, every time I took a picture, I wasted film, so I saved what I could.
"Open the aperture wide!"
"Diffuse the hair lamp a little more!"
...
After repeated adjustments, Tang An looked at photographer Zhou Jixun.
"How is Lao Zhou?"
Zhou Jixun put his head in front of the camera and observed it several times before nodding and looking at Tang An with admiration, "No problem, Director Tang!"
"Okay, continue shooting!"
"Scene 19, one shot, three times!"
"start!"
It took nearly an hour, but the first shot hadn't been finished yet. Tang An had just directly embarrassed the lighting team leader Zhou Ren in front of everyone.
In the first shot of the first scene, the lighting team leader couldn't even do his own job well, and he had to be directed by the director himself.
Under the strange looks of everyone, Zhou Ren felt a little embarrassed, but could not refute.
Although the others were enjoying themselves, they were also frightened in their hearts. The production director had been hired before the movie even started shooting, and now he was directly slapping the lighting team leader in the face.
Everyone is afraid that they will become Tang An's next target.
That's right, everyone thought that Tang An was the first to take office as a new official and wanted to establish his authority.
The second fire has only been burned now, and no one can be burned by the third fire.
The third filming started immediately, and Tang An shouted to stop again.
Zhou Ren felt happy when he heard the "click" sound.
This is the lighting you arranged yourself, and it has nothing to do with me.
But Tang An's words disappointed him again.
"Stop a moment, Lu Yi, pay attention to your performance. Just treat this as an ordinary place, such as a park you have never been to, and just glance around casually!"
"And Lao Xu, your expression should be a little confused, thinking and reminiscing, because at this time your subconscious feels that this place seems familiar!"
"Also, when you look around, slow down your movements a little. Every time you look in one direction, there is a thinking look in your eyes!"
"Okay director!" The two nodded, thought for a while and continued filming!
"Scene 19, one shot, four times!"
"start!"
The actors reset and did it again. This time it almost met Tang An's requirements.
Immediately after Deng Chao, Sun Li and another actor followed from behind.
When the actors were selected, Tang An chose four actors, and Wang Zhongjun asked Wang Zhongjun to send someone over for the remaining younger actor.
Tang An has no impression of this person. He came from a third-rate acting school and has never even heard his name.
"Click!"
After taking one shot, Tang An watched it several times in front of the monitor.
He frowned and shouted to photographer Zhou Jixun, "Old Zhou!"
"Hey, director!" Zhou Jixun, who was instructing his photography assistant to change the film, raised his head and responded.
"Let's repeat what we just said. Lao Zhou, please pay attention to capturing Lao Xu's facial expressions and her eyes!"
"Okay Director Tang!"
With Zhou Ren's lesson learned, Zhou Jixun didn't dare to talk back. If he was caught as an example and got a third fire, he would be embarrassed.
In the fifth shooting, Zhou Jixun stared at the camera attentively and accurately grasped Xu Jinglei's every look and facial expression.
The camera follows Xu Jinglei every time she turns her head, and follows her perfectly without any mistakes.
"Okay! Pass!"
At 3:30 pm, after nearly two hours of work, the first shot was finally completed.
Then the next shot went on non-stop, a panoramic view of the entire banquet hall.
It’s not difficult at all. The main thing is Xu Jinglei’s performance, but there is a shot at the back to create a voyeuristic effect from a nearby corridor.
This is not the kind of peeping through a crack in the door, and it is still a bit difficult to shoot.
After trying it twice, adjusting the camera position and lighting repeatedly, I finally found a suitable angle that could cover most of the banquet hall, with Xu Jinglei's position as the center.
This shot was completed through the subtle shaking of the camera and Xu Jinglei's performance of the uneasiness of being watched.
Later, Tang An did not interfere with Zhou Ren's work anymore, and he seemed to "know his shame and then be brave", which was considered a good job.
One afternoon, one scene, four shots, within Tang An's expectations, it was just the first day after all.
"It's getting late. Everyone has worked hard today. Let's pack up and keep the equipment and go back to rest!" Tang An looked at the time and ordered everyone.
"Good director!"
"Director, move slowly!"
"Thank you, director!"
After Tang An left, the tense nerves of the crew could finally relax a little.
"Phew, I'm so nervous. I've been on so many crews, and this is the first time I'm so nervous!"
"Our Director Tang is not that simple. He is better at lighting than Zhou!" Art Director Chen Jinhe teased.
"Made, it's my misfortune. Those brats under me made me look embarrassed. I have to educate them well when I go back!" Zhou Ren said angrily.
"Don't think so much now. I originally thought that the new director's film would be a bit more carefree, but now it seems that he is less demanding than Director Huo!"
"Not only is it not low, it is one level stricter than Director Huo's film!"
Nearly half of the crew were transferred from Huo Jianqi. Last month, his film "Lovers' Knot" had a box office of nearly 10 million yuan. There happened to be a few months of vacuum, so his team was assigned to Tang'an.
Here it comes.
"Be careful in the future. I think it's best to spit out the money we took before. If you don't keep it all, he will dig it out!"
"Yes, please pay attention!"
Not only the few of them who had the handle on Tang An, but also the rest of the crew and several actors. Tang An was so young and had a relaxed attitude at first, but now they all became frightened, fearing that they would be picked out.
Scold!
