It was sunny on Saturday, the temperature was 19 degrees, and there was already a hint of coolness. Qin Xiaobao put on a coat when he went out.
Earlier, Liu Minghua sent over the box office results from Japan and South Korea. There were 5,400 people watching at midnight in South Korea and 3.4 million yen in Japan. Naturally, they cannot compare with China.
However, as a foreign film, the focus is not on stunt scenes, so it is quite good, and it was filmed in the third and fifth positions.
Qin Xiaobao didn't pay too much attention to it, it was all released. He couldn't do anything that could affect the box office in China, so let nature take its course.
People, sometimes you have to be open-minded.
There is a lot of unfinished work, and if we wait and see, if the company goes bankrupt the next day, we won't have to do it.
The car drove for about an hour and arrived at the bus company.
When I got out of the car, I saw that it looked pretty good. Dong Xiaotao and others were already busy working on Eighty. Qin Xiaobao did not go over to disturb them, but went to Teacher Zheng's side.
"Here we come." Lao Zheng glanced at him.
"Well, I think we're almost ready. Did you come early?"
"We set off at around six o'clock," Teacher Zheng said with a smile, "I heard that I didn't sleep well last night, so I came here early and prepared well to avoid leaving a bad impression on you. Hey, you found out
No, some people are a little afraid of you now."
"I discovered it," Qin Xiaobao did not deny it. Whether it was daily conversations or conversations in the group, it was a little different from before: "It's a good thing. It's a lesson in advance. If I have the opportunity to join the crew in the future, I can integrate faster."
"Yes, so don't give me face. You should talk about it and let them see it." Old Zheng said slyly.
"Hahaha, okay, I'll try my best, but it's quite difficult for just half a day."
Qin Xiaobao chatted with him for a few words and got on the bus.
When everyone saw the leader coming, they all stopped and looked at him with some restraint.
Wang Bingbing was wearing yesterday's business attire, sitting in the disabled seat on the left side of the bus. Dong Xiaotao stood aside and smiled silly. There was an old man next to him, wearing glasses, and the pair of red socks under his feet were very eye-catching.
.
"How are you preparing?" Qin Xiaobao asked.
"It's almost done. When the master arrives, we can start shooting right away." Dong Xiaotao immediately replied: "I looked at the lens just now and the weather is good today. I don't think there is any need to fill in the light, but the reflector still needs to be used. The master said, wait
Along that stretch of road, the sun will shine in from the left, so it will be backlight."
Qin Xiaobao came to look behind the camera and nodded: "Not bad, very thoughtful."
After receiving the encouragement, Dong Xiaotao was very happy: "When I came over to look at the bus yesterday, I found that there is no need to fill the bus because there will be no panoramic camera, so just let other people sit in these seats. There is no such thing.
bug, and then..."
He was like a child, happily introducing his handicrafts to the teacher.
Most of the time, Qin Xiaobao was expressionless and didn't say good or bad, letting them figure it out. However, it was really not difficult to hand such a simple scene to eight directing students, even if they were only in their first year.
At ten minutes past nine, everything was ready. Dong Xiaotao, standing in the back row, looked at everyone and said, "A!"
Wang Bingbing was sitting on the bus, her head lowered, looking at her phone. To her right, a classmate was supporting another classmate who was squatting there holding a reflector, and the photographer was in the front right.
It was just a short film, so it was impossible to bring all the equipment. They only had a professional shooting camera.
Obviously, before Qin Xiaobao came or even earlier, the actors and crew had already discussed how to shoot.
After taking the photo for more than ten seconds, the photographer changed positions, in front, on the right, and behind, and repeated the same action each time.
"OK, CUT." Dong Xiaotao shouted, walked up, took the camera and started watching the playback, and from time to time he would discuss a few words in a low voice with the classmates around him.
Then he walked to Qin Xiaobao: "Director Qin, I have an idea."
"Say." Qin Xiaobao looked at him.
"Although this is a static shot, I think the vehicle is driving and people cannot be so stable. There will be a slight shaking, so..."
"You have to communicate with the actors about this." Qin Xiaobao raised his chin and pointed at Wang Bingbing in front of him.
"But she is a star." Dong Xiaotao hesitated.
"What does it matter to stars? The director is the biggest in the crew. No matter how smart you are, you have to listen to the director. If you don't even dare to communicate, what's the use of coming to me? Is it possible that when an actor gets angry in the future, he will be in a bad state?
, if your acting skills are not good, there is nothing you can do?" Qin Xiaobao asked.
"I see."
Dong Xiaotao scratched his neck, took a deep breath, and walked to Wang Bingbing.
A minute later, the young lady sat there and made a gentle shaking motion: "Director, is that so?"
"Yes, yes, the range can be smaller. We are on a bus."
"What about this?"
"No problem, no frequency."
"so?"
"Perfect."
Dong Xiaotao turned his head and glanced at Qin Xiaobao to avoid bowing his head. After communicating, he found that it was not as difficult as he thought. Moreover, hearing the word "director" from the mouth of a real actor made him feel really good.
Nine scenes on a bus sound like a lot, but the total length is only thirty seconds in the script.
If it were in a feature film, it might just be one long shot.
I was a newbie, I was nervous, there was no monitor, a few simple shots, three lines of dialogue, it took a full four hours to shoot.
After each shot is taken, Dong Xiaotao and others will carefully watch, study, and discuss it. After confirming that there is no problem, they will also take two more shots like professionals.
During this period, Qin Xiaobao did not show any impatience. He knew that his classmates were very nervous. If he was even a little bit dissatisfied, he would probably scare everyone.
Instead, during the break, I personally bought drinks and distributed them.
Wang Bingbing would secretly make faces at him, but she didn't care. Every performance was an opportunity to learn, even if it was a short film. Besides, she was very happy to be with her boyfriend.
The bus took everyone downstairs at Kiwi Tower.
This weekend, there were not many people at work. Xiaoming and Li Xia, Wang Bingbing’s manager, took everyone upstairs first.
It was the first time for the students to come back to their classmate's company, and they looked around to the east and west.
It was similar to the office space seen on TV, but because of the owner, they all found it interesting. The few trophies on the bookcase in the reception room made them feel even more novel.
It’s all for the director!
Instantly, the look in Qin Xiaobao's eyes was different.
The tea room inside also aroused the interest of the students.
We all live in dormitories, and I feel very happy when I see that there are all kinds of free biscuits, snacks, and drinks available at work.
