At the very least, looking at the transformation of the staff of Starlight Entertainment, one can know that China's first entertainment company has left many of its peers far behind.
When he returned to the Magic City, Chen Weizhou and others also returned.
The TV series, which has a total of sixteen episodes, was shot very quickly and has now entered the editing stage.
However, Chen Weizhou did not take action immediately, but waited for Xiao Qian.
Since the last "SH Beach", he has discovered that Xiao Qian has extremely good insights into the plot. Although he is the director, there is absolutely nothing wrong with letting Xiao Qian check it during editing.
This time is indeed no exception.
"This... this photo is blinding."
In the editing room, Xiao Qian looked at the filming content and was extremely annoyed.
Chen Weizhou was startled and quickly checked.
"No...no problem. This was all shot according to your script. Look, the scenes, scenes, duration, lines, camera positions, etc., are all exactly the same."
Xiao Qian pointed at the picture, her head filled with enthusiasm.
"You filmed it according to the plot, but... the filming was not good. This part is a small climax in the play, but it was too delayed by you."
What he was talking about was the scene where Lao Liang and Xu Wan got off work in the rain.
This is the first conflict between the wishful thinking and the silent Lao Liang. It is also the part that needs to show the extraordinary aspects of the ordinary policeman.
"If you shoot like this, the picture will be no different from the rest. It will appear dull, unable to arouse the audience's emotions, and it will be difficult for the audience to have a wow, awesome feeling. The colors here should be cold tones to make the picture
It needs to be full of sharpness. Also, although the lines are right, the speed at which Li Yushuang and Zhou Bujie speak the lines is too slow, and the connection between them is also extremely slow, which cannot highlight the feeling of excitement."
Chen Weizhou pulled his hair in embarrassment.
"If I change it as you said, I might as well reshoot it."
Xiao Qian seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"What I mean is to reshoot it. This section cannot be used at all, it will affect the quality too much."
Chen Weizhou was almost scared to death.
"Little ancestor, can we stop making trouble? If we want to reshoot, we have to go to the capital. The cost is not low!"
Xiao Qian's attitude has been decided.
"For the sake of art, I will do whatever it takes."
Because this drama was jointly produced by CCTV and Modu TV, the production cost was very abundant. Chen Weizhou was not a big spender, he was cautious and always left room for success, so there was still a lot of financial surplus.
This is the confidence that Xiao Qian dares to remake. Otherwise, everything he says will be false if he has no money.
The crew who had finished filming the movie had already started taking a vacation and were ready to relax, but Xiao Qian called them back again and everyone reunited in the capital.
"Wow, Xiaoqian, are you poisonous? Can you reshoot this?"
As soon as they met, Zhou Bujie complained endlessly.
He had already gone back to school to brag to Xu Tiezheng and others, thinking that he would be no worse than Shen Jue this time, and would even be more popular. However, he was recalled by Xiao Qian, which made him laugh at the classmates.
Xiao Qian took it for granted.
"If the filming is not good, of course it will have to be retaken."
Zhou Bujie scratched his head and was very unconvinced.
"How is that possible? Teacher Li Yushuang and I have absolutely no problem with our acting skills."
Xiao Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"There are many conditions for a good filming. What's the point of just you two acting well? Besides, your acting is not interesting."
"Oh, children, you can actually comment on our acting skills?"
It happened that Li Yushuang also came and was also very unhappy.
This man had a bad temper, but luckily he was very conscientious in his acting. The director and producer said that the filming was not going well, so they came over without saying a word.
If this were replaced by fresh meat from a few years ago, it would be a struggle.
Li Yushuang came over and looked at the set up, his face turned green.
Apart from anything else, the number of high-pressure water cannons increased from two to four, so we knew we were going to suffer a big disaster this time.
The last time Chen Weizhou filmed this scene, the rain caused by two high-pressure water cannons had turned the two of them into drowned rats. Now that four water cannons are coming together, will they be drowned?
Over there, the arrangements started to be made, and here Xiao Qian also called Chen Weizhou, Li Yushuang and Zhou Bujie over and started telling the drama.
"When you were filming before, your movements and lines were all correct. You can continue as usual."
Chen Weizhou's head is covered with black lines.
"Since everything is right, is there any point in reshooting it?"
Xiao Qian stopped him.
"The movement and lines are correct, does that mean it's absolutely correct?"
With that said, he called over the camera and ordered: "Make the lens a cold color so that the pictures taken have a cold light. Can you do that?"
He didn't know what this was called in photography, but he knew what kind of picture he wanted, so he just said it.
The photographer also came to his senses.
"Producer, you asked for a reshoot just for such a scene?"
Xiao Qian stared at him and asked, "Then do you have a better way to change the lens?"
The photographer was dumbfounded, shook his head, and went to do his own business.
If there had been later computer special effects technology, Xiao Qian would certainly not have been so time-consuming and laborious in reshooting. But the problem now is not, how is the shot of a movie, the effort is all on the camera, then it must be reshot.
After making arrangements for the photographer, he began to guide Li Yushuang and Zhou Bujie.
"In this part of your conversation, your lines are okay, but your speaking speed is too slow, and it sounds like a commonplace chatter."
Li Yushuang was a little confused.
"Isn't this a commonplace conversation?"
Xiao Qian's answer was also very insightful.
"But what the audience wants to see is not the daily routine."
He looked at the two of them again and asked: "Have you ever seen a suspense movie? Or a detective movie?"
The two nodded together.
In this era, the film and television works that Chinese people can enjoy are relatively limited, but as professional actors, Li Yushuang and Zhou Bujie have much wider access to them.
Now that they know it, it will be much easier for Xiao Qian.
"Imagine what the effect would be if this conversation, especially your line, Uncle Li, were slightly faster and less ups and downs. If you still don't understand, I'll give you another melody."
He didn't have an instrument at hand, so he stretched out his palm and started to beat time on his thigh. At the same time, he spoke onomatopoeia, and a melody came out.
This melody is fast and fast, but the volume is not loud, but it makes people's hearts beat faster.
Xiao Qian borrowed this melody from the famous American TV series "Knight Rider" in his previous life, and it is most suitable to use it to show pretentious moments in film and television dramas.
On the other side, Li Yushuang followed Xiao Qian's instructions and sped up the speed of speaking lines in the melody.
As soon as the scene came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
It's obviously the same lines, but the speaking speed has been accelerated and BGM has been added. The result immediately gives people a mysterious and mysterious feeling.
This is still a melody played by Xiao Qian with his mouth and hands. If it is really produced and added to it, this section will definitely become a highlight of the show.
"Okay, now that you understand, let's start shooting."
Xiao Qian also made another change in this shooting, which is to add a long lens.
The scene between Lao Liang and Wishes in the Rain was shot to the end, coherent and smooth. Coupled with the accelerated pace, Chen Weizhou was hooked just by looking at the monitor.
And in the entire play, only this section needed to be reshot.
Chen Weizhou has been a director of family dramas before, and filming dramas about ordinary people's lives is his specialty. With him in control, there is no need to worry about the quality of the entire drama.
The elements Xiao Qian added this time really taught Chen Weizhou a lot.
Chinese TV drama directors have always had a big problem, that is, the plots they film are stinky and long.
The story is like this, the lines are like this, and even the action scenes are like this.
I don’t know how many people complained about the slow motion and retracement of the martial arts dramas shot in mainland China in my previous life, but they just didn’t change it.
But looking back at the production of film and television dramas all over the world, in fact, they are all developing towards a streamlined, neat and capable trend.
In other words, the filmization of TV series is the general trend.
Looking at popular American, Japanese and Korean dramas in the past, the number of episodes is basically limited to a dozen or so, and they would rather be divided into seasons than postponed.
However, domestic film and television dramas often have dozens of episodes, coupled with the interspersed advertisements, it is almost boring to watch.
Xiao Qian couldn't do anything else, but he could still set his own example and lead the trend.
