As Lin Yuan's voice fell, everyone on the set stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to Lin Yuan.

This was the first scene to be shot, and everyone had not yet entered the shooting state. It is understandable that there would be some small mistakes in the process, but no one expected that the first NG would come so quickly.

There is less than ten seconds between the time when the recorder makes the call and the director's call, and the actors are not even shown the camera yet. Calling the call at this time is not a clear "disgrace" to them?

Just when some crew members on the set had this idea, Lin Yuan stood up from the monitor and walked to the photographer who was responsible for the close-up shots: "Photography teacher, don't rush to give your shots to the actors.

First, shoot from the environment of the store, then stop at the ashtray for a second, and finally stand here to take a close-up of the actor..."

Lin Yuan compared his hand to a camera lens, and while talking, he demonstrated to the photographer how to use the push and pull lens.

The opening scene of the film is extremely important to the entire movie. The opening scene shows the tone of the entire film. Through simple picture language, the audience can know the theme, type and tone of the film. At the same time, it also conveys the environment and tone of the film.

The conflict between the characters makes the character's image more vivid and prominent.

After hearing what Lin Yuan said, photographer Zhou Tong immediately realized where his mistake was.

Photographer Zhou Tong directly admitted his mistake and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, Director Lin, I was too anxious to give the lens to Teacher Xu Zheng!"

Lin Yuan nodded and said nothing.

This kind of problem is easy to happen to crews with famous stars. Just like when filming "Kung Fu Yoga", even if Lin Yuan is already a top star, once there is a scene where he and Jackie Chan appear at the same time, the camera still

I would lean more toward Jackie Chan.

There is no problem in giving the camera to these big stars, but Lin Yuan's purpose in making this movie is to tell the story of "The God of Medicine" well, not to use Xu Zheng's fame to boost the box office.

Even if he fails to pass a single scene on the first day of filming, Lin Yuan will not lower his standards.

After explaining the problem to the photographer.

Lin Yuan returned to the monitor and sat down again, waiting for each department to return to their respective positions.

Ning Hao sat aside and looked at Lin Yuan with interest.

He and Xu Zheng had always been very confident about Lin Yuan's acting skills, but they had to have doubts about his ability as a director, so they were named producers because they thought Lin Yuan would be busy filming.

However, what he didn't expect was that as an actor, Lin Yuan's overall camera sense was no worse than that of ordinary directors. He hit the nail on the head and found the problem directly.

If it had been him just now, he would have called out the problem, but he would not have called it out immediately. Instead, he would have pointed out the problem when the scene was halfway through. However, this was all done by him during filming.

Speaking from experience after working on many films, it is already rare for someone like Lin Yuan, who is directing a film for the first time, to be able to not only identify problems, but also point out the problems on the spot.

The second shooting continued, with Lin Yuan staring closely at the monitor.

After the previous experience, the shooting this time was obviously much smoother. However, the good times did not last long. After a while, problems appeared.

"Stuck! What's going on with the lighting team?"

Lin Yuan frowned and looked at the lighting team on the set: "It's broad daylight, why is your room so dark? Is this what the storyboard says?"

The people in the lighting team lowered their heads and complained softly.

The leader of the lighting team trotted up to Lin Yuan and explained: "Director Lin, didn't you say that the tone of this play is relatively heavy? We want to make the ambient light darker..."

Lin Yuan didn't wait for him to finish, and scolded, "Just tell me what's written in the storyboard? Did you ask you to dim the lights?"

A middle-aged man in his thirties was scolded by Lin Yuan, a young man in his early twenties. He was still in his specialty. The face of the lighting team leader suddenly became a little ugly, even though he knew that this was their lighting team.

The mistake was that the lighting was not lit according to the requirements in the storyboard.

If it had been any other director, he would have admitted his mistake long ago, but it was Lin Yuan who said this. How could he be convinced by such a newcomer who had never directed before?

Seeing that the leader of the lighting team was silent, Lin Yuan asked in a deep voice: "You don't need to tell me how important lighting is? Now that you have made the tone so heavy, when the plot turns later, what will you use to embody the protagonist Cheng Yong?"

Inner struggle?”

The purpose of arranging lighting is to create atmosphere and mood.

In addition, lighting has three functions, which are to control contrast, color and brightness.

If a director wants to tell a story well, in addition to clear expression in visual language, lighting cannot be ignored.

For example, in youth romance movies, low contrast, high brightness, and warm tones are used to create a romantic and warm atmosphere. On the other hand, suspense movies, even during the day, require high contrast, low brightness, and cold tones to create a tense atmosphere.

.

This is enough to prove the importance of lighting in film shooting.

For a drama based on reality like "I'm Not the God of Medicine", the lighting requirements are naturally more stringent. The lighting must change around the protagonist Cheng Yong's mental journey. Lin Yuan prepared the split-shot script in advance for this purpose.

, it turned out that the lighting team was not used at all. How could this not make me angry?

As Lin Yuan finished speaking, Ning Hao also stood up. He would obviously stand by Lin Yuan regardless of emotion or reason.

"Old Wang, put away all your little cleverness. I've given you a shooting script. Just adjust the lighting according to the above. Don't delay everyone's shooting."

When Ning Hao said this, the lighting team leader felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refute.

I had no choice but to return to the lighting team obediently and instruct my staff to adjust the lighting brightness according to the requirements of the shooting script.

"Okay, continue shooting!"

"First scene, one shot, third time!"

"start!"

As Lin Yuan finished speaking, staff from various departments on the set became busy again.

In the eyes of many crew members, Lin Yuan is the most important factor in taking office as a new official, and everyone is afraid that they will become Lin Yuan's next target to establish his power.

Lin Yuan did not explain this. This was just right. Originally, most of the crew had not entered the filming state yet, but in this atmosphere, everyone became serious, and the filming progress was finally a lot smoother.

The camera switches back and forth between the conversation between Xu Zheng and a supporting actor, following it just right without any mistakes.

"Okay! Pass!"

On the first day of the launch, at 3:30 in the afternoon, after nearly two hours, the first shot was finally passed.

...

While the staff of the props team were busy setting up the scene.

Xu Zheng came over with two bottles of mineral water and handed one bottle to Lin Yuan and Ning Hao.

"How do you feel?" Xu Zheng looked at Lin Yuan's tired look and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Yuan unscrewed the bottle cap, waved his hand, and complained: "Stop talking, it's better to film. Being a director has too many things to worry about, which is a headache."

After hearing Lin Yuan's complaining words, Ning Hao and Xu Zheng burst into laughter.

Filmmaking is like this. If the crew doesn't get along well at the beginning, and each department doesn't know the effect the director wants, it will naturally take some effort to shoot. But after a period of time, it will be much easier to shoot.

Professional directors like Ning Hao and Xu Zheng have their own teams, just to avoid the need for a running-in period.

Lin Yuan looked at Ning Hao on the side and said politely: "Director Ning, don't laugh. I have to go into battle in person later, and I have to trouble you to keep an eye on this monitor."

After all, this is a movie he directed and acted in. Although he is not playing the protagonist, the character "Lu Yiyi" also plays a lot of roles in the movie. Lin Yuan does not intend to be like Huang Bo, waiting for one scene to be filmed before returning.

See how the shooting turns out.

It is better to have a professional help keep an eye on it, so that once problems are discovered, they can be corrected in time.

Otherwise, judging from the two-hour shooting situation of this scene, I am afraid that it may not be possible to complete the movie "I am not the God of Medicine" in more than half a year.

"Okay, don't worry, just leave this matter to me." Ning Hao promised, patting his chest.

Originally, he was considered a relatively professional director, but now he is asked to stare at a monitor. Isn't that easy?

While the three of them were chatting, the props team completed the rearrangement of the environment in the "Prince Indian Oil Shop".

Lin Yuan put the walkie-talkie on the apple box, walked to the makeup studio and started putting on makeup.

In this scene, a neighbor knew that Cheng Yong was short of money, so he introduced a patient, Lu Yiyi, to Cheng Yong. At the same time, the neighbor also told Lu Yiyi that Cheng Yong was in the smuggling drug business, and Lu Yiyi, who was suffering from leukemia, wanted to survive.

He wanted Cheng Yong to help him smuggle a melinin drug from India, and deliberately told him that the price difference of the smuggled drug in China was nearly twenty times, hoping that Cheng Yong would agree to it because of the attractive benefits.

Different from the first scene, the shots in the first scene were mainly focused on portraying the environment and creating a realistic atmosphere.

But the focus of this scene is on the lines of the two actors Lin Yuan and Xu Zheng.

And in order to play the role of "Lu Yiyi" well, Lin Yuan went to the hospital frequently in the past two days, observing the mental state of the patients on the bench in the hospital corridor, and trying to figure out their inner activities.

Therefore, for Lin Yuan, this scene was not difficult at all.

After putting on makeup and putting on thick clothes, Lin Yuan slowly walked towards the set.

From this moment on, he assumed the role of "Lu Yiyi". Like the patients in the hospital, Lin Yuan could be said to be extremely cautious when walking, as if he was afraid of being noticed by others. If Ning Hao hadn't been staring

When Lin Yuan came out of the dressing room, he might have been ignored.

The first time he saw Lin Yuan in this state, Ning Hao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

But then he shook his head: "It's a pity. With his acting skills, it would have been better if he had been born a few years earlier!"

His desire to create is no longer as strong as it was back then. Although he doesn't want to admit it, it's just like this in this industry. He may run out of inspiration at some point. It's not as easy as it was back then to come up with a good script to collaborate with Lin Yuan.

.

As Lin Yuan entered the set, all departments were quickly in place.
