Zhang Junsheng stood in front of the monitor and looked at the settings of several cameras.

The camera position represents the viewpoint and composition, and the director's intention to shoot a video through the transformation of the camera position.

The settings of each camera include the photographer's understanding of the video and lens.

This time, the camera position embedding method is not a three-point structure. There are only two cameras. Because the dynamic lenses that will be taken later, the lenses must go from far to near. Only one cameraman needs to carry the lens to shoot on the front, and another one is responsible for shooting panoramic views...

The road is not very flat and there is no way to lay the slide rails. You can only choose to shoot by hand. This really tests the photographer's basic skills.

Many photographers have never learned how to shoot by hand in their entire lives!

When shooting with handheld, you must pinch the rhythm of breathing and the amplitude of your handheld. Song Xiaofei is an expert in this regard!

He shot the exquisite fighting scenes in "The Grandmaster".

Don’t think that photographers are simple. There is an old saying in the industry: directors are a year, and photography is a five-year period!

If you are a novice director working with an experienced photography, remember that a good photography can uncover omissions that you didn’t think carefully and help you fill him, you need someone like that.

The director controls the overall work of the film, while the photographer’s job is to complete the director’s intentions through the camera.

The director has three jobs on the spot: scene control, camera scheduling, and actor scheduling.

The most important thing is camera scheduling!

Therefore, Zhang Junsheng often discusses shooting based on Song Xiaofei, rather than actors...

Filming has officially started.

First there was a big panoramic view, a bit gray weather. Ning Caichen strode to the meteor and walked slowly to the front of the camera. He squatted down and prepared to eat...

“Cut!”

Just over ten seconds after the first test shot started, Zhang Junsheng shouted to stop. He stood up from behind the monitor and pointed at the light group expressionlessly: "The lights are a little dimmed, I want a feeling that it is about to rain!"

By the way, I ordered Song Xiaofei: "The second machine position moves thirty degrees to the left. What you need to take is a panoramic view, props..."

The props immediately raised their hands next to them.

"The steamed buns are made more refined...we are close-up shots!"

Then, Zhang Junsheng turned his head and said to Zhou Xing: "Come with me."

"Brother Xing, your expression is more natural. Don't be so stupid. You are playing Ning Caichen, not Wang Dahui!"

“…Well, I get it.”

Zhou Xing nodded.

The camera position is re-arranged and the crew starts filming again!

Zhou Xing's performance this time was a little better. Now he is shooting the beginning of the movie, which is the MV of the theme song of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Ning Caichen's itinerary to collect rent from Guobei County...

This is a one-man show, and there is only Zhou Xing, who needs to show Ning Caichen's character through several shots.

We often say that each character's personality can be roughly judged based on his walking posture.

The first scene was to give Zhou Xing a few steps.

It seems like a very simple action, but many celebrities forget how to walk once they are in front of the camera.

The class of body shape belongs to the basic skills of an actor!

I won’t mention whether Zhou Xing has the talent for actors yet, but his basic skills are absolutely solid.

...

It is logical that the shots taken in the afternoon were simple enough, but unfortunately, the shooting progress was still not smooth.

From the site setting to the camera position, many times we are constantly adjusting. On the one hand, the crew needs to run-in, and on the other hand, Zhang Junsheng lacks enough experience!

He has never commanded such a large crew, and many employees in positions cannot work hard, so he has no choice...

There is no way out, the novice director can't control the crew clearly!

It took six hours to complete the established task until seven o'clock in the evening...

Although the Son of the Plane has made two micro-films and has also made "Wan Wan" before, that thing is still different from the real movie shooting!

The crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has at least a hundred people working, and many logistics departments, which together are almost 300 people.

Zhang Junsheng is really not the son of the system with Charm Value MAX. He needs to adjust, and needs to be run-in with various jobs in the crew, and also has to be run-in with the actors!

Although Teacher Lu Zhong has superb acting skills, her acting style is not what Zhang Junsheng wants.

For example, when she was talking about lines, she had no expression on her face and could only reveal a strange aura from her eyes...

It takes a close-up to see clearly!

This is not possible. The tree demon is a big villain. It cannot be so implicit. Just be simpler. Just play a big villain!

The actors' performances are for the sake of their works, not simply showing off their skills!

These adjustments take time.

Zhang Junsheng is not in a hurry, two months of shooting is enough!

Although his performance is not as good as an excellent director, he is qualified enough.

The staff of these crew members are not fools. Since they can get into Yanjing City, they must be people who use money to do business. At least they have a professional ethics. If they don’t work hard, they will at least work!

It is very painful to work with a director who knows nothing and likes to direct blindly.

In contrast, a director who doesn't understand very well but puts his position very well is still very popular.

"Everyone rest first, finish the meal, and shoot night scenes!"

After the executive producer shouted, Zhang Junsheng took the lunch box handed over by the director's assistant, opened it, and only took one bite, and couldn't stand it anymore!

The rice is actually cold!

I have been filming an afternoon of filming and want to eat a bite to warm up. Is the lunch box you gave me cold?

He called the life producer who was in charge of ordering food, pointed to the lunch box and asked him: "What does it mean?"

“…No, the meal time we set is 6:00 pm, so we start ordering meals at 5:00 pm…”

I'll go, as you mean, or am I wrong?

I'll stop you from having a meal?

Zhang Junsheng was furious: "What do you want to do in life production? Do you have shit in your brain? Why do you have eyes? Can't you tell if we work overtime? Do you have no common sense?"

"Sorry...I didn't..."

"What's the use of sorry? Now, I'm going to have a bite of hot food, hurry up and order me again. Will I spend money on the pain?"

The crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has the highest lunch box, with a price of up to 8 yuan. The only ones in Huairou can afford such expensive lunch box are "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Legend of the Conquest" that is being filmed...

The cost of a big director, big star, big production is four times that of "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

In fact, at the beginning, the life producer wanted to prepare a small cooking for several main creators and hire a chef. The son of the plane refused. After all, it was the first movie and he wanted to have fun with the people!

I just eat a boxed lunch.

Then, you will give me this thing?

The filming was not going well, and Zhang Junsheng was a little annoyed. He kept suppressing his words and did not mean that he was not here. He could only say that the life production was eye-catching...

...

It was delayed until 8:30, and the crew started again. Now it was time to shoot the opening scene, which was the passionate scene between Nie Xiaoqian and the unlucky scholar...

Zhang Junsheng looked at the scene, there was no problem.

"The fan is there, don't stop, right."

"Xiaofei, stay here and control the camera, so everyone else can go out first!"

After all, it is a passionate drama, and it is difficult to perform with too many people...

Brother Guan Xi likes photography, but his passionate scenes are not very good, which means that when there are too many people, actors are really shy!

If it was afternoon, maybe someone would lick his face and say something like, "We'll just watch from the side and don't talk." For example, the three guys in the dormitory, now, they don't dare.

Zhang Junsheng pointed at the life producer and scolded him. Many people woke up. Zhang Junsheng was the leader in this drama!
Chapter completed!
