Chapter 106 Personally serve as a photographer



After all the ceremony was completed, Jiang Hongfei sent Wei Zheng to lead people to build a shooting site, while Zhang Changzheng commanded the photography team, the lighting team, and the recording team to unbox their own equipment.

After doing all this, Jiang Hongfei sent his assistant director Yao Tengteng (a student in the department of the Director Department of Communication University, Dai Xinxin became a producer, and he didn't care about his job as an assistant director. Jiang Hongfei so hired another assistant director) to call the actors to enter the venue.

The biggest actor in "The Maze of Heart" is Li Jian.

Li Jian is another good actor with both moral integrity and art. He arrived half an hour earlier than Jiang Hongfei, and then started putting on makeup. After Jiang Hongfei arrived on the set, Li Jian was ready.

Li Jian's style made the young actors ashamed and complained.

Jiang Hongfei ignored it and announced directly that it was too colder and less time left for them. Starting tomorrow, all the actors will arrive for makeup half an hour in advance.

Regardless of what the actors looked like or thoughts, Jiang Hongfei announced this decision and went to do something else - Jiang Hongfei didn't want to be a director who was used to being an actor anymore. Those old men who later generations who used "one, two, three, four, six, seven, six, five, three, two, one" to deal with him, are sorry, Jiang Hongfei will definitely not use any of them in his life.

After more than a hundred years of development, the film has already had a fixed process. Jiang Hongfei, who has been working as an executive director in the previous life and has been in the crew for more than ten years, has become very familiar with this process.

Specifically, the shooting of a movie can be divided into five steps: movement, lighting, rehearsal, fine-tuning, and shooting.

The so-called move means that the actor simply performs the content of the scene roughly, thereby determining the position of the actor walking during the performance and the characters' movements.

The procedure of moving is crucial. Only when the actor's movement is determined can the photographer finally determine the camera position, scenic spot and movement method based on the actor's performance area, and then determine the starting, falling width, the focal length and height position of the lens, etc.; at the same time, the lighting engineer can determine the light position in the performance area and arrange the lights; art can also set the scene according to the position of the performance area.

When the actors entered the performance area, the lighting, photography, art, and boomers all cooperated with the actors' movements as Jiang Hongfei explained in advance.

Under Jiang Hongfei's guidance and correction, Li Jian, Zhao E and Wang also walked twice and determined the performance area.

According to the actor's final move, Yao Tengteng put tape on the ground and made marks - this is a reminder for the actors to avoid the actors from going outside the camera while acting.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jian, Zhao E and Wang Ye left the performance area. Jiang Hongfei personally led the photography team to place the camera, lay the tracks, rehearse the sports, and started lighting with the lighting team. Jiang Hongfei still couldn't find a good photographer and was anxious to turn on the camera. There was no way, so Jiang Hongfei had to return to his old career and become a photographer himself.

In fact, when Jiang Hongfei made the decision to serve as a photographer himself, everyone thought Jiang Hongfei was joking.

You should know that not everyone can take on a photographer, it requires systematic learning and rich experience.

Therefore, everyone agreed that Jiang Hongfei could not serve as a photographer, especially when he was also a director.

Fan Bing bluntly advised Jiang Hongfei: "Hongfei, don't show off, otherwise, let's push it for a few more days?"

Jiang Hongfei shook his head and said, "I want to push it, but time doesn't allow us to slow down."

Jiang Hongfei explained again: "It's already mid-November, and it's colder. After a while, people may not be able to reach out and use it for two days. Moreover, time cannot match. After all, our movie revolves around "burning wasteland", and the time cannot be too different.

The key point is that if you recommend it, our movie may not be able to catch up with the schedule you set with your brother's company before. If it snows, it will definitely not be able to shoot this year.

Therefore, you must seize the time.

Don't worry, I have been playing with cameras since I was a child and have read a lot of books about photographers, so there is no problem."

Fan Bing and Jiang Hongfei had the first words, but the crew Jiang Hongfei had the final say, not to mention that Jiang Hongfei was also true. Therefore, Jiang Hongfei insisted, and Fan Bing had no choice.

Of course, Jiang Hongfei is not showing off.

First of all, Jiang Hongfei, who was once a quasi-first-class photographer, really has this strength, especially during this period, with his photography skills leading the era, he can definitely reach the ranks of first-class photographers of this era.

The key is that Jiang Hongfei was really forced to do so and had to go into battle in person.

In order to ensure that photography is not delayed, Jiang Hongfei invited four second-rate photographers to be photography assistants, and also found a person who had studied photography for the four photography assistants to be their assistants, thus forming a photography team of nearly ten people.

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei was calm and Fan Bing and others who had been watching from the side, he felt relieved.

Fan Bing thought to himself: "This brat is not bragging. He really knows photography, but where did he learn it?"

Lighting in movies is a very complicated process. It requires a light meter to measure the brightness of the light and the color temperature of the light. Only when the light parameters are accurate can the best picture be captured. Therefore, lighting is the slowest among all departments and takes the most time. Under normal circumstances, it takes about 45 minutes to arrange a panoramic view, and fifteen minutes to arrange a close-up.

The lighting master that Jiang Hongfei was looking for (actually Zhang Changzheng) was Jiang Hongfei's senior brother Sha Lan, and he was even Zhang Changzheng's senior brother. He graduated from the stage lighting design major of the eighth and nineth stage art department of the Modu Drama Academy.

Three years ago, Sha Lan had already established his own company and served as chairman and chief designer.

Sha Lan is very famous in the lighting industry. He designed the lighting for many grand events in China. This time he came here to help Zhang Changzheng support the venue. He planned to let his apprentice take over when Jiang Hongfei got on the right path. In other words, he had no intention of staying in the crew leader of the "My Heart Maze".

While the lighting team was busy, other departments were not idle either. Under the command of Wei Zheng and Zhang Changzheng, the recording assistant began to install wireless microphones for actors with lines. The artists and photographers worked with the photographers to clean up the venue and organize props according to the range seen by the camera lens.

After instructing the people from the photography team, Jiang Hongfei began to analyze the role's motivation, psychological state and performance requirements for Li Jian, Zhao E, and Wang in detail, which is what we usually call opera talk.

When everything was ready, the actor returned to the performance area and Jiang Hongfei began to direct the actor to rehearse in the performance area.

The rehearsal at this time mainly adjusts the details of the performance, explaining what emotions, eyes, expressions, and tone the actor uses in the next scene or shot to perform.

Most directors will make clear performance requirements or tell the actors the true status of the character.

Some directors who are born as actors will not give actors too many rules and regulations and allow them to freely play.

A very small number of directors who are particularly good at directing actors' performances will directly make demonstration suggestions.

As soon as the filming started, Jiang Hongfei didn't want to exert too much force, so for the first time, he only said my requirements, and did not give the actor too many rules and regulations, and was ready to let him play freely...
