October 24th is the 24th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar in the Year of the Tiger, Bingyin. The solar term means frost. Before the frost comes, the rain comes first.

The wind and rain were so strong that the entire crew had to hide in the room to prepare for filming.

Wu Xiaozu was sorting out the manuscript of the script. On the TV, Shitou Po also stepped off the plane in the rain. I wonder who the rain and she were that brought the coolness to Hong Kong Island.

He specifically raised his head and glanced at the Queen of England on the TV. Then he glanced distressedly at Prince Charles who was following closely behind.

There is a queen with a long waiting time. Wu Xiaozu estimates that he wants to be the king in this life, but he is in doubt. He should be able to consider the next round.

"Boss, Guan...Second Master Guan is here!"

Su Liyao commanded the staff to carry a statue of Guan Gong and walked in, "I... I specially went to Wong Tai Sin to ask a Feng Shui master to turn it on. It's very effective!" He pointed to Feicheng beside him, "Do you think it's effective?

spirit?"

"Spirit!" Feicheng replied sadly through gritted teeth.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would speak randomly.

"I don't know when this rain will stop. It's really strange. When I was filming "The Butcher on a Rainy Night", I asked for rain but there was no rain. This time, the sun was shining brightly and the rain kept falling." Assistant Director Li Shu looked at the pouring water outside the door with a sigh.

heavy rain.

"Perhaps God knows that Hong Kong Island is too dirty today, so he might as well clean it up." Su Liyao pointed at the enthusiastic Hong Kong British officials on TV and sneered, "A bunch of hypocritical guys."

"Choose! Why don't you ask God to let him use the blade to chop those bastards to death!!"

Feicheng raised his middle finger and rolled his eyes, "God is blind..." As he said that, he clasped his hands and bowed to Guan Gong, "Please God, why don't you bow to the second master Guan."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at the TV and breathed a sigh of relief.

If the blade is really used, Wu Xiaozu will really have to consider whether it is more appropriate to offer his "big-breasted brother" as a ticket to visit. When the time comes, he will be given the title of "Fat Dragon King", and he will not be in trouble.

The 1.2-meter brightly colored Guan Gong is placed in the main hall. He wears a green scarf on his head, a parrot-colored green satin robe, a jade belt hanging a sword on his waist, and flower boots. The green dragon Yan Yue Dao is at his side. His phoenix eyes are half-squinted, looking at

Watching the violent storm outside.

In the "Bone Yard (Massage Parlor)", after the crew quietly lit up the incense sticks, "The Birth of a Man with a Prefix" started filming quietly and shamelessly.

…

"The scene is quiet, the venue has been cleared, and everyone is leaving now. Attention all units, actors are entering. Props are on standby, makeup is on standby, and tea is on standby!"

Uncle Li picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Audio check, 123, 321——" and then began to identify departments one by one. The whole process seemed very cumbersome and careful.

"Seat No. 1 is OK!"

"Seat No. 2 is OK!"

"No. 3 is OK."

“The lighting is okay!”

"Radio OK!"

"The cast is ready——"

As the heads of each department stretched out their hands or confirmed OK through the intercom, the recorder, carrying a slate with scenes, scenes and number of shots written on it, stood in front of the main camera with the red light on, waiting for the director to call start.

Seeing Wu Xiaozu wave his hand, the recorder immediately made a decision.

"The first shot of the first scene of the 15th scene of "The Headline", Action——" There was a click and a slight knock, and the filming officially started.

Wu Xiaozu stood in front of the monitor and looked at the settings of several camera positions.

Camera position represents the viewpoint and composition. The director's intention of shooting the film is expressed through the change of camera position. The setting of each camera position includes the photographer's understanding of the film and the lens.

Camera No. 1, which Huang Yuetai is in charge of, shoots on parallel axes and is responsible for the frontal composition. At 45° behind him, camera No. 2 shoots the action of the character walking out of the room. Camera No. 3 is mounted on a rocker arm and can shoot panoramic images.

.

This kind of camera placement structure belongs to the most basic triangle principle. The three axes represent three viewpoints, which constitute the entire shooting range. When an actor walks out of this range, it is a shooting blind spot. It is commonly known as a drama.

There were dark clouds and heavy rain pouring down. The whole street seemed like the end of the world.

The dark alley and the houses on both sides are shabby and dilapidated, but the layers of bamboo poles and roofs make the rain here much less.

Liu Qingyun slowly walked in from the alley, his face was clearly lit. Below his nose, he could see clearly, but his eyes seemed to be hidden in the shadows. He held a black umbrella in his hand and stepped on the puddles everywhere, making splashes.

.

"Crunch——"

As he gets closer and closer, the light becomes brighter and clearer, and he can be seen with a straight face.

His thick eyebrows were lightly furrowed, and the whites of his eyes were staring diagonally downward. He was dejected and worried.

In front of him, Huang Yuetai had been filming with the Steadicam on his arm. Because there were piles of debris in the alley, the assistant could not help. He could only hold the Steadicam and the machine by himself. His face was covered with sweat.

The roads in the alley are uneven, there are puddles everywhere, and the piles are piled up and disorganized. It is impossible to lay the slide rails, so you can only choose to take pictures with your hand. This really tests the basic skills of the photographer. Many photographers never learn it well in their lifetime.

Handheld shooting.

When shooting with a handheld camera, the cameraman cannot shoot without oxygen because he cannot hold on for long. The rhythm of breathing and the width of the handheld shot must be very precise.

Huang Yuetai was known as the "Iron Hand" in his early years. In the era without Steadicam, it was all about one hand, which was even more amazing!

I am afraid that there is not a single photographer in Hong Kong who can truly say that he is technically superior to Huang Yuet-tai. In the future, there will only be a handful of photographers who can compare with him.

"sharp--"

Luo Liliang and Uncle Li came over and gave a thumbs up secretly. What professionals in the film industry admire the most are those who have real skills. Film movies pay most attention to basic skills.

One director every year and one cinematographer every five years.

It takes at least five years for a photographer to develop from an apprentice to a real photography director.

Liu Weiru can be regarded as an example of a talented and famous teacher in this industry. How long did it take to go from being a part-time worker in "Eighteen Weapons" directed by Liu Jiaxun to being the photography director of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night"?

He lasted five and a half years.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaozu glanced at the young and strong Luo Lixian next to him and smiled slightly. In order to develop some bad habits in his heart, he arranged to give Luo Lili the title of director assistant and let him study behind Uncle Li.

In Wu Xiaozu's team, there are two top photography experts, Huang Yuetai and Liu Weiqiang. The lighting is convenient, and Zou Lin is dazzling enough. However, the action and stunts have always been lackluster.

In fact, it is not that he faces such a dilemma, many directors have such a dilemma. Nowadays, most of the action and stunt talents in Hong Kong have been monopolized by Yuan Jiaban, Hong Jiaban, Liu Jiaban, Cheng Jiaban and other major teams.

Okay. If you want to really make a big-scenario movie, you have to hire a big team.

On the contrary, Luo Liyan is very talented and courageous in this area. The most important thing is that he is brave enough. Whether it is for future filming or to discover talents, Wu Xiaozu has no reason not to support Luo Liyan.

As a director, his talent is average. But when it comes to action, stunts, explosions, gunpowder, flying cars, etc., Luo Lili is really good at it.

Huang Yuetai's filming is good, and Liu Qingyun's acting is also very good.

The whole scene is just a few steps.

Walking seems to be a very simple action, but many people forget how to walk in front of the camera.

This class on body shape is a basic skill for actors, and it is as basic as lines.

In ancient times, opera was called posture, and every gesture was all opera.

The important thing is: raise your hands to the eyebrows, cup your hands to your chest; hold your hands like a moon, and point your hands to your nose. The tests are hands, eyes, body, method, and steps. For example, Mr. Mei has not spoken yet, but just stood up.

With a hand in the cloud, as soon as the orchid was delivered, there were hundreds of beauties blooming all of a sudden, and the shy beauties came out.

The same is true for acting. Speaking and body shape are the foundation of the foundation. A common problem among Hong Kong actors is poor foundation. This is true for everyone from kings to queens.

When it comes to people with good talent and good luck, such as Tony Leung, the foundation has been solidified after accumulating experience in several movies. Another example is Edison Chen, who made progress with each movie. If it weren't for ***, with the state and talent he showed at that time, he

Maybe he will become an actor of Tony Leung's level.

When Liu Wei was interviewed, he said that when filming "Infernal Affairs", he felt that there was a scene that Edison Chen portrayed more accurately than Andy Lau. It was the scene when he looked back and saw Chen Yongren being kicked out of the police academy.

If you meet someone with average talent - such as Liu Dehua.

It wasn't until his 95th film that Andy finally got rid of the flat character portrayal, gave up the routine of playing cool and handsome, and won the Best Actor Award with "Dark War".

Transformed from a cocoon into a butterfly, and was really praised by people, Andy knows how to act.

Acting is like building a building. The foundation is very important when creating a character. The body and speech are the actor's foundation.
