Chapter 126: Lens Language
The press conference lasted until almost noon. After the show ended, the reporters rushed back to get the manuscript, and Fang Bo and his friends found a place to have a meal together.
Because they are two crews, after this press conference, the crew of "Mars Rescue" will be divided into two teams. This lunch is the last time everyone got together before the start of the filming.
At the dinner table, Li Hao was quite reluctant to leave.
The role he plays is a scientific genius working in the Space Administration. He is very accomplished in celestial mechanics. Although his appearance time is limited, it plays a great role in the rescue plan.
Therefore, the scenes about him all happened in the space agency. During the shooting, he followed the crew led by Jiang Can throughout the filming process.
It was a coincidence. Li Hao clearly agreed to star in "Mars Rescue" without saying a word, but he ended up being staggered with Fang Bo.
"Director Fang, I'll give you a cup, see you next time."
Fang Bo has written two movie scripts before, one is larger and the other is smaller. He thought that if "Mars Rescue" could not attract investment, he turned to shoot another movie with much lower cost.
But Chen Zhuo was very courageous and optimistic about the project "Mars Rescue" and gave out 80 million in one go to help the movie successfully launch the project.
So another script was put on hold and has been quietly in Fang Bo's laptop, not known to outsiders.
At this moment, looking at Li Hao who was toasting him in front of him, Fang Bo suddenly felt moved.
In the shelved script, there is a character that seems to be very suitable for Li Hao...
"Guide Fang, Director Fang?"
Li Hao held the wine glass and saw that Fang Bo seemed to be thinking something, but he didn't respond for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
"Ah? Oh."
After he reminded him, Fang Bo came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile.
Greedy can't be chewed. Before "Salvation of Mars" was launched, I was thinking about the next movie myself, which was a bad idea.
"Okay, let's have a drink!"
After saying that, Fang Bo raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass in one sip.
Li Hao didn't know about another script at all, and didn't think too much about it. He drank it all, and the matter was just over for the time being.
As the meal was eaten, Jiang Can also stood up with a cup and said solemnly: "Director Fang, if you hand over Group B to me, I will do my best to take a picture and strive to be worthy of your trust!"
"Brother Can, it depends on you."
"Yes." Jiang Can focused his head and seemed very serious.
Although Fang Bo's Group A is the highlight and the scenes in Group B are not very difficult to shoot, no matter what, this is also a science fiction movie with an investment of more than 200 million yuan.
Being able to lead a film crew is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Jiang Can to improve his qualifications.
He has been an executive director in the film industry for many years and has done a lot of dirty and tiring work, but he has never been able to make a fortune. This time he finally saw the dawn, so Jiang Can was naturally very grateful to Fang Bo.
He didn't say anything, and just drank three glasses of wine. If Fang Bo hadn't stopped him, he would have to continue drinking.
After this lunch, everyone divided into two groups. Group A stayed in Yanjing, while Group B went to Shanghai Stock Exchange.
In fact, the crew members on both sides have gathered since the 10th and have arrived on the 14th. It was just that the press conference was about to be held, so it was delayed for a day.
After a while, on September 15, it will be officially launched in Yanjing.
At 8 a.m., outside a wide studio, the members of the "Mars Rescue" crew came here early.
The studio is full of flammable materials, so don’t think about setting off firecrackers, but the opening ceremony is gone, and it seems not very lively.
Fang Bo asked someone to find a recording of firecrackers online, which was played through the speaker, and it felt like it was crackling.
In the past, the opening ceremony might have been very grand and thoughtful in all aspects, but now there is not so much attention. It’s just a fun thing to do.
When the firecrackers stopped, Fang Bo reached out and uncovered the red cloth covering the camera and whispered: ""Mars Rescue" is officially started!"
Everyone applauded and shouted "Good luck to start the computer". Each person sent a small red envelope, and a brief startup ceremony ended.
Fang Bo picked up the walkie-talkie and greeted: "Everyone has got the red envelope, then start work. Go in and prepare, and we will start shooting immediately!"
Including the Mars residence cabin and the Yinghuo 5 spacecraft, this studio has multiple scenes arranged, and most of the scenes that Group A wants to shoot are done in this studio, which eliminates the waste of time on the transition.
Correspondingly, this studio covers a very wide area and has a high height, otherwise there would be so many scenes that would be really unsatisfactory.
"Teacher Huang, Sister Li, Sun Jie... Come on, I'll talk to you about the show I'll wait a moment."
Taking advantage of the free time of the staff preparing, Fang Bo called several actors over and explained them the position and performance after the filming started.
Although the actors are very dedicated and familiar with the script, Fang Bo knew this during the script exchange meeting.
But they don’t understand the details of the performance, the settings of the camera, the positions of the personnel, the arrangement of the routes, etc.
So before filming starts, someone needs to tell them about the drama so that there will be no problems during filming.
Things like this are all done by Jiang Can during the filming of "A Good Show".
Because he is the executive director, Fang Bo has told him about the shooting ideas and the results he wants to achieve in advance.
So when shooting, he will convey it to the actors. Only when shooting important scenes, Fang Bo will take action personally for the sake of safety.
The two of them worked together to film "A Good Show". The cooperation process went smoothly, which made Fang Bo feel the benefits of an executive director in the crew for the first time.
But this time Jiang Can took a group of people to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The time was limited, so Fang Bo did not go to find a new executive director, so he had to go on the battlefield by himself.
"This scene is three cameras. At that time, A will be in front of you, and will be shot from an upward upward angle. B is in front of the right, taking a close-up photo of Teacher Huang, and C machine looks straight and taking a close-up shot of other people's half-body. Pay attention..."
After all, it was the first scene on the start of the filming process. Fang Bo said it very carefully and tried to pass it all over again.
In a simple literary drama, he arranged three camera seats, which is also meaningful.
Since the plot is background, everyone suddenly encountered a storm on Mars and was discussing whether to end the mission in the living room.
Therefore, shooting with a slightly elevation angle of A can render this crisis-willing atmosphere.
At the same time, the B-machine took photos of Huang Jingshan alone and the C-machine took photos of others in order to divide the group into two sides and lay the foundation for the hero who was in danger and forced to stay alone on Mars.
This is the so-called lens language. Perhaps the audience may not be able to understand the purpose of each lens, but it will undoubtedly subtly affect the audience's viewing experience.
This is the charm of the movie. One or two hours can be slowly polished in several months, providing the director with a lot of room to play.
No wonder a good movie can make the audience watch it repeatedly, the key lies in it.
