Chapter 86: Ambitious small group performance(1/2)

The crew started the next morning!

According to the plot, the Legend of Dragon Tomb is a luxury cruise ship sailing on the sea.

The lens will unfold directly from the outside, use drones or even helicopters to take pictures of the sea, and then go to the panoramic view of the cruise ship. Then the lens will be closer, extending directly through the glass into the interior of the cruise ship, and a grand dance is being held at this time.

It is best to use a long lens for this kind of lens, one shot to the end, the picture effect is good and the shock is also strong.

When watching movies, audiences may not understand why many movies have such a macro shot at the opening.

This is actually for a preconceived impression.

The opening shot is too low, and the audience will immediately feel that the film is not very good, so the next step may be to give up.

Especially online movies.

After all, the theaters are in the cinema to watch. No matter how bad the opening is, you have to last a few minutes if you spend money to buy tickets.

Online movies are different. They feel bad at the beginning, so they can be replaced in seconds.

So the opening shot is very important, it sets the tone, and its responsibility is not to tell you what this movie is about, but to tell you that this movie is awesome and high-end.

For this reason, Li Xianyun specially designed this pseudo-long shot to open the scene, first filming the internal group scene, then follow the panoramic view of the exterior, and use a cover to connect it. It is estimated that the duration can be about one and a half minutes. The effect is gorgeous and looks absolutely atmospheric, and the theaters are just like this.

At this moment, with Director Li Da's "Action", the music started, and all the extras in gorgeous costumes danced in the middle of the wide dance hall on the boat, and some actors were talking with wine glasses next to them.

Unfortunately, after just three seconds of filming, Li Xianyun shouted "CUT!"

He stuck his head out from behind the monitor helplessly: "Will you dance from the two over there? Is the extras more professional, okay?"

Two extras dressed in luxurious clothes and dressed like nobles apologized repeatedly.

The second mirror opened again, but unfortunately it still didn't survive for six seconds.

Two actors bumped into it while dancing.

Li Xianyun had to stop again and start again.

There is no need to consider acting skills in group dramas. The real headache is dispatch. If hundreds of people make any mistakes, the shot will be ruined.

Therefore, when a large crew films, they often have to repeat the camera dozens or hundreds of times, and the more people there are, the more headache it is.

The repeated failures did not make Li Xianyun irritated. He calmed down and devoted himself to his work.

However, no matter how much the filming was taken, Li Xianyun was still dissatisfied.

I always feel that there is still something wrong.

At this moment, a noise suddenly broke out in the field.

Li Xianyun turned his head and saw two people quarreling in the field.

Quarrels and fights are common in the crew, and they are interesting things that can be talked about after dinner. When Li Xianyun was a screenwriter, he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. For him, it was a story... When something happened to his crew, he couldn't bear it in an instant.

He rushed over and roared, "What's going on? What's going on?"

The person who was pushing an extra was a group leader. Seeing that the director was angry, he quickly smiled and said, "Director, it's okay, I'll settle it right away."

The extra shouted: "I'm not yours, why do you care about me?"

Hold!

Li Xianyun cursed in his heart.

The extras are also organized, and this time the extras are responsible for the two group leaders.

The group leader in front of me is called Brother Biao, and another one is called Along.

The extra should have been brought by the group leader named Aaron. I don’t know what happened, but I had a conflict with Brother Biao.

Li Xianyun looked around and said, "Where is Aaron? What's going on?"

Brother Biao said: "There are two extras who have something to do on the spot. Aaron organized others to take over, so I will give it to him here to help him take care of it. This kid is disobedient and insists on adding drama to himself, thinking that he is Zhou Xingxing."

Li Xianyun looked at the crowd actors, and she looked pretty and looked dissatisfied, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Lu Jin." The little group replied: "Director, I have ideas about the scene just now, and I didn't add the scene without authorization. I just gave an opinion. He just scolded me! What is he? I can't even put forward my thoughts?"

Li Xianyun didn't ask him what he thought, but just looked at him, walked over, grabbed the suit on his body and said, "Do you know how much this piece of clothing you have?"

Lu Jin stopped.

"Two thousand eight! High-quality fabric!" Li Xianyun said seriously: "Fight? Can you afford to pay for it if your clothes are torn and dirty?"

In order to ensure the texture of the clothing, the clothing of the film and television company is basically not washed. The clothes are moldy and still used after wiping. But if you dare to make it up, you can calculate it directly according to the new product price. It is a conscientious person who does not have a premium.

Lu Jin swallowed, but was still unwilling to accept: "It was his move first."

Li Xianyun looked back at Brother Biao: "Brother Biao, you are also an old man in the industry. What is the most taboo thing in the crew? Don't you know?"

Brother Biao was stunned.

Li Xianyun turned to look at everyone: "The investment of 15 million yuan is 45 days, and every day is 340,000 yuan per day, ten hours a day, 340,000 yuan, and six minutes is 340,000 yuan. If you delay this, you will lose a few thousand yuan."

Of course, the accounts are not settled in this way, but it does not prevent Li Xianyun from calculating with them like this.

Who hasn't seen Zhou Xingxing's film? Karen Mok's lines have been changed and used, which is naturally suitable for showing off.

Li Xianyun pointed to the two of them: "If you make trouble again, I will let someone throw you into the sea. Do you understand?"

He did not speak harshly, but his tone was firm, which was definitely not a joke.

Dali doesn't like to talk nonsense, but he is still very diligent in his work - he is already ready to move.

Brother Biao nodded helplessly.

Li Xianyun turned around and glared at Lu Jin before turning back.

Lu Jin gritted his teeth: "Director, I really have an idea! Your dance arrangement just now was not good, but I can solve it!"

Um?

Li Xianyun looked back at him. He was not angry, but said, "I will give you a minute, I won't satisfy me, get out immediately!"

Lu Jin was overjoyed.

He grabbed the female extra next to him: "Do you a favor."

He took her with her and said while walking in the dance posture: "I have practiced dancing. The ones who walked just now were not called dancing at all, they were just walking around! They didn't have the temperament that aristocrats should have when dancing. You didn't find a professional dance teacher!"

The biggest difference between large productions and small productions is countless details.

Two movies were produced with 15 million yuan, and the funds were tight, and it was not enough to let Li Xianyun find a professional dance teacher to choreograph and let everyone practice a few weeks in advance.

Li Xianyun looked at Lu Jin's dance steps and said, "A big man in reality may not be able to dance well."

Lu Jin is not outdone: "But this is a movie, you can't copy everything from reality. If you want to give the audience the feeling of a gathering at the top, you should strengthen this effect!"

Brother Biao was furious: "Shut up!"

Li Xianyun stopped him and signaled Lu Jin to stop. He said, "It's too late. I can't let everyone stop and learn dance. It will take a long time."

"It doesn't take that long, it's very simple! Just six steps, interspersed with each other! I can design it for you. It takes up to four hours and everyone can adapt!" Lu Jin said excitedly.

As he said that, Lu Jin took out a picture, which was a plot of the plot. All the extras' dance steps and movements were extremely detailed.

Obviously, he had done his homework long before, and it was even possible that Brother Biao's anger was probably exciting for this kid - he knew that only this way could attract his attention.

But it’s nothing. Nowadays, you have to be on the rise and fall in love with the Dharma. Who wouldn’t think about it?

I’m not afraid of you being scheming, but I’m afraid of you being incompetent!

At this moment, looking at the picture he gave, Li Xianyun said, "Four hours? Are you sure?"

A good dance teacher is very expensive and has high requirements. Even if you rehearse an extra, it takes several days, and it costs money during the extra training!

You can handle it in four hours?

Lu Jin nodded: "You have to let them listen to me."

Xuan Dong came over next to him: "Then today's progress will not be able to catch up."

"It's okay, we have left time." Li Xianyun said: "It's nothing to spend a few more hours for a good shot."

Li Xianyun is now becoming more and more like a big director.

So Lu Jin really began to arrange all the dance steps of the extras, redesigned and re-arranged.

The dance steps are very simple, and it only takes two minutes to learn.

The only difficulty is scheduling.

We must let everyone make gestures at the established pace, dance gracefully, cross each other without colliding with each other.

So after working hard, Lu Jin was sweating profusely.

Four hours passed quickly.

Li Xianyun tried to take a photo, but it turned out to be NG when he came up.

Another actor has stepped on his feet.

Lu Jin bowed his head in despair.

He kept saying that he could arrange it in four hours, but he didn't do it in the end.
To be continued...
