Chapter 26 Rapid Progress
There is an interesting theorem in management - if an employee performs particularly efficiently, the leader will use him to death!
Obviously, Liu Shi is such a person. When he found that Huo Dong was particularly useful, he immediately increased his workload.
Huo Dong's new job is to be responsible for the unit time calculation of each shot. Specifically, the preparation time for the set props, the preparation time for the camera, the makeup time of each actor..., the final estimate of the shooting time of this shot. Of course, it cannot be very accurate. If the actor's condition is not in place and repeated reshoots are likely to exceed this estimated time. Therefore, the allowance must be reserved and familiar with each work link must be familiar with.
It should be said that this is a bit beyond the scope and cannot be considered a work as a screenwriter at all. However, Ye Guicheng, the director, was not reliable at all. He originally divided this work to Liu Shi, the executive director of the choreography. So now Liu Shi has an idea and wants Huo Dong around him to take on more responsibility.
So Liu Shi began a cramming education. He did not care about the principles at all, but only taught the camera positions needed for each lens. Generally speaking, in the shooting process, the camera position setting is the most important, such as two camera positions, three camera positions, front and reverse camera positions, etc., and everything else revolves around the camera position.
Therefore, which camera is used for which camera? How long does it take to prepare for it? Swallow it all first and seize the time to solve the problem in front of you.
To be honest, Liu Shi should be suspected of being lazy when he does this, so he is somewhat worried that Huo Dong will be dissatisfied.
However, unlike Liu Shi's concern, after increasing the workload, Huo Dong not only did not feel dissatisfied, but became even more hungry. Opportunities were really rare. Isn't this teaching himself how to be a director step by step? The director does not need to master the specific methods of shooting. He only needs to know what methods to use to shoot. Everything else can be done by a professional working group.
With such an opportunity, Huo Dong began a crazy "stealing master". Liu Shi was even more eager. As long as you can't stand it, I will try my best to fuck you in the stomach.
In the end, seeing that Huo Dong had learned almost the same thing, Liu Shi felt a little guilty, so he reminded: "Compared with movies, the method of TV series is relatively simple. I will post a directory later, which contains 100 representative movies I have collected. As long as you pull all the movies and can explain clearly what technique is used in each shot? Then you will basically be qualified. But you also need to remember that movies are art, and we are not craftsmen on assembly lines. Don't just know how to use methods, the method is to apply it to artistic creation. Otherwise, you will lose the foundation and go to the end. But after mastering it, you can still be an advertising director. That should be more than enough. Okay, now the class is over, let's start working."
Huo Dong didn't know that due to Liu Shi's rapid success, he began to deviate. This time, his deviate made him run wildly on an unknown road, and he ran farther and farther!
Well, Huo Dong was quite grateful to Liu, Jukeng and Shi at this time. The most important thing was to point out the direction of his efforts: lens - camera position; camera position - time. Anyway, no matter how many years you have, let’s fully understand this first!
...
Huo Dong's method of hard work is the most effective and stupidest of all methods - he simply uses his memory directly to memorize them all. Don't seek much understanding first, and then find time to understand slowly.
This is also the most practical method at present. After all, it is not time to study, but to complete the new script as soon as possible.
The scene description in the script has nothing to do with the complexity of setting up the camera. Sometimes it takes only a few words, but the shooting takes a whole day; sometimes it takes a long paragraph of content to shoot very simply.
For example: Fairies fly and dance in the woods.
This script is a very simple sentence, but it requires Ravia, and the cameras in all directions are coordinated, and even a substitute needs to try to move in the air and repeatedly find the best shooting angle. Of course, you can't shoot the bottom of the skirt! The divine beast is already ready to move! So such a shot may take a lot of time.
For example, a couple quarreled in the house. "You know that I love you so heart-wrenchingly, why don't you understand?" "I understand that I love you so much that I love you so much that I can't give up!"...
A long line only requires the simplest forward and reverse camera position. At most, it is a camera that takes a panoramic view. If the two actors' lines are not wrong and the performance is in place, they can finish work and go home in more than ten minutes.
In this regard, Huo Dong still had no experience. Therefore, at the beginning, he made many mistakes. However, after Liu Shi's correction and explanation, he made rapid progress again and grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye...
...
On the first day, these people worked all night and basically completed the outline of the new script. After adjusting the alarm clock, they only slept for two hours, and then began to prepare for the filming content for the first three days.
In such a short time, it is impossible to come up with a complete script. You can only choose to write and not shoot, hoping to keep up with the shooting progress.
At this time, the three of them divided the work again. Liu Shi was responsible for determining the scene. This is similar to the contents of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, breaking the engagement flow, killing monsters over the level, etc., which have fixed routines and are often seen on TV.
Some lovers misunderstood and chased them out, but the goddess took a car, leaving only the dog to beat their chests and stamped their feet; after killing people, the police would always come late, etc.
Although these plots have always been repeatedly complained about on the Internet and have all been used up. But since they can be used repeatedly, it proves to be more popular. Besides, now I am in a hurry, what are the new plots to think of? It is completely unrealistic, just use these plots to use them!
Lao Jiayong is responsible for writing the lines. Don’t say that, the writing is very shocking. After reading it, Huo Dong got goosebumps all over his body. It’s really puzzling. Does he have a pink girlish heart under his man’s appearance?
Huo Dong is responsible for arranging and combining the most efficient shooting plans and trying to make progress as quickly as possible.
You should know that the previous messy things have delayed the shooting for a few days. Now, for the new script, it has been suspended for two more days. The shooting time is fixed, so it is best not to delay. Otherwise, the shooting cost will be greatly increased.
