Hualiu Director

Chapter 8 Encountering Chen Ge on the Set

Lin Hong has been to several film and television bases in Beijing, but they are still inferior to Hengdian.I have to say that Hengdian is really a pioneer in terms of scale and tourism development.

The third uncle of Xingwei said that Hengdian is short of lighting engineers. It is actually not accurate. It should be said that what they lack is high-level professional lighting engineers.

The threshold for a lighting engineer is not high, but there are not many skilled people in this field.China's film and television industry has been booming in recent years. Whether it is a professional college or a major film and television base, they still have a little insufficient training of behind-the-scenes professionals. Many of them are still the traditional Chinese inheritance model of master teaching apprentices. There are very few professionals who come out.

Except for Kong Xiao, who is a student of management, the six members of Lin Hong's team have a deeper understanding of lighting than lighting engineers who have just entered the industry. After getting familiar with various equipment in the first two days, they quickly got started.

I don't know if it's a regional talent, but Xingwei is very sensitive to the control of lighting. In many cases, Xingwei's lighting adjustment can meet their requirements without waiting for the director and art director to make a request.This is not only the control of lighting, but also the understanding of photography and script.Xingwei's third uncle sighed more than once, if he could go to university back then, maybe now he could also be nominated for attending film festivals and the like.

Lin Hong and Zhang Wentong, who is an art student, also have a very high level of understanding of lighting. They are mainly superior in their aesthetic level and understanding of scripts that are different from ordinary people, which can be regarded as taking advantage of their profession.

Zeng Shuming and Li Xian are also good. Xingwei's third uncle privately said that as long as the two of them stay for half a month, they can at least be regarded as medium-level lighting engineers.

As for Kong Xiao, he is considered a beginner.

So the six of them were assigned to different crews by the third uncle from the fifth day onwards, which was considered a recognition of their abilities.

The crew that Lin Hong joined today is a costume drama "Night" adapted from a popular online novel. It tells the story of a child who was tragically exterminated and returns to the capital for revenge after many years. Lin Hong found that this novel was very similar to his previous life. "Ever Night" is very similar to "Jiang Ye", and the storyline also has many similarities.

The scene that is about to start filming is the scene in which the protagonist Ning Shi successfully hides his demonic energy and gets the approval of his master and formally apprentices him as a teacher. It is also an important node in the whole play.

Lin Hong saw Zheng Qiu, a famous old Hong Kong actor, and Guo Chao, a tall handsome guy from Taiwan in the actor's rest area. Although he didn't know the rest, he also knew that the handsome guy with the crooked mouth appeared frequently in the entertainment news recently. The second-generation star Chen Yu, although he doesn't have any outstanding works, but he will be reincarnated, and he will work harder the day after tomorrow, so he is the leading actor in a big production, and he has a lot of actors who support him. .

Some people struggle all their lives to get to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.Fate is like this, incomparable.But Lin Hong doesn't envy anyone now, because what he has is the biggest hang in the world.

Not thinking about those other things, Lin Hong turned his attention back to the work at hand.

Because all the master's disciples will appear in this scene, the small space is full of people, and tables, chairs and furniture are essential, so the difficulty of lighting and photography has also doubled.

The actors have already arrived, and the film crew is adjusting the machine. The lamp is in charge of Xing Ming, a member of Uncle San's subordinate, and Lin Hong is here to assist him today.

The so-called light masters are the people who light the main characters in this scene. They will hold the reflectors in their hands and reflect the light of the headlights to the target to shoot people or objects. Their work directly affects the skin color and brightness of the characters. They are even stars. He dare not easily offend the position, and even has the title of Master Deng.Lord Deng's assistants will light the supporting characters and the scenery. They have to be good and bad with each other, but there should be no obvious bright color difference. Only when this is done can the lighting team be considered qualified.

Xing Ming is adjusting the brightness of the main light, because it is daytime and the windows are open in the room, so the light conditions are good, and the effect of light glazing is very good.

Xing Ming is a person who pays attention to practice. He knows that this scene is very important, so he specially asked the staff to stand at the shooting location for a while to do a model test for him.Of course, Lin Hong and several other auxiliary lighting engineers also tried the overall effect together, and finally Xing Ming selected the lighting brightness.

Everything is in place, and the actors start to enter the scene.

The chief director of the scene, Yang Bing, did not let the executive director take charge. He stood in front of the monitor and stared at it. Just as he was about to call out to clear the scene, his assistant ran over and whispered something in his ear, and then he put it down. The matter at hand trotted out.

Everyone at the scene didn't know why the always dedicated director went out suddenly, but they soon found out, and they all got up to greet the important person who came in by Yang Bing.

"Hello Director Chen!"

"Director Chen is here to visit the class, welcome!"

"Hello, Director Chen, I'm..."

"..."

It was none other than Chen Ge, the real father of the actor Chen Yu in this drama, a leading figure in the fifth generation of Chinese film directors, a well-known director at home and abroad, and won several international film festivals including Cannes. The director award is a film worker who combines art and business, a true master, and one of Lin Hong's idols.

Chen Ge's own film was finished at the Xiangshan Film and Television Base a few days ago, and these two days happened to be free, so I came here to visit the first work of his son Chen Yu, which can be regarded as support for his son.

The production team naturally welcomed Director Chen Ge's arrival. After all, the entertainment news can be published by cutting these visit videos into sideshows or putting them on the Internet, which is much more effective than ordinary publicity.

Although Director Chen Ge is a tyrant on his own set, he is a very kind person in private. He responds to everyone who comes up to say hello. All in all it doesn't make anyone feel slighted or uncomfortable.

Lin Hong was still hesitating whether to go up to say hello, but he didn't expect Chen Ge to take the initiative to shake hands with the staff of the crew, especially the photography team and the lighting team. After all, these two groups directly determine his son's life. In the picture, whether it is black or white, beautiful or ugly, no one understands the tricks better than Chen Ge.Of course, the great director may be purely warm-hearted.

When it was Lin Hong's turn, he was still a little nervous. After all, this was his first close contact with such an international director.

"Hi, Director Chen, my name is Lin Hong, and I'm a student about to graduate from the Beijing Film Academy."

The reason why he pointed out his school was because Chen Ge also graduated from the Beijing Film Academy.

"Hi, so you're still a junior, which department are you from?"

When Chen Ge heard that he was a junior at the Beijing Film Academy, he immediately stopped and wanted to chat a little more. He still has deep feelings for his alma mater, and he will go to his alma mater to give lectures from time to time, but in the past few years Lin Hong didn't go to work because he was busy, and Lin Hong didn't have a chance to listen to his master class.

"I'm from the Directing Department, a student in Professor Zhang Jiandong's class."

Zhang Jiandong has been a good friend of Chen Ge for many years. When Lin Hong talked about Chen Ge in this way, he felt that Lin Hong was even more kind.

"He's in Lao Zhang's class. It's not bad. Has the graduation project been filmed yet?"

Graduation thesis may be the most important for other universities, but it is far less important for directors than graduation works.

"I wrote a short film script by myself. The brothers in my dormitory were just able to gather the main positions on the shooting scene. Yesterday, Professor Zhang helped me find Mr. Jin Shan to play the last important role. The crew has been formed. Unfortunately, Huang Li of Chunlei The husband is only willing to pay 10 yuan, we still have a shortfall in funds, so we come to Hengdian to work together with other crew members to earn money, and we can start filming as soon as we earn enough."

Lin Hong knew that the time he had in contact with Chen Ge was too limited, so he didn't intend to make any detours, and directly expressed the information he wanted to express.

First, Zhang Jiandong agreed on my script, and even helped me invite old drama players like Jin Shan.

Two, my crew has been formed.

Third, Huang Li is not only optimistic about my work, but also invested 10 yuan.

Four, I am still short of money, but the whole crew is supporting me with actions.

Fifth, you, Senior Brother Chen Ge, don’t want to read my script, so can you give me some help.

Chen Ge is used to the wind and rain. He has met too many eloquent young people like Lin Hong. He has his own rules and behaviors. It is a bit of a joke to want him to fall into the trap with just a few words.

"Come on, I'm looking forward to your work, and hope to have the opportunity to see your film released in theaters in the future."

Chen Ge patted Lin Hong on the shoulder and walked to the next staff member. Lin Hong smiled helplessly. It seemed that meeting Chen Ge was just a small episode, and it didn't turn out to be a good opportunity after all.

But Lin Hong wasn't discouraged, anyway, he didn't put "Chen Ge's help" in his plan at the beginning.

Chen Ge quickly greeted everyone on the scene, and then he and his assistant stood in a corner far away from the monitor, which was a respect for the crew and director Yang Bing.He came to visit the class, and he would leave just after watching his son's play, and he didn't want to overwhelm others.

After the scene was cleared, everything was ready for photography, lighting and radio, and the filming officially started.

Ning Shi, played by Chen Yu, walked into the house with a maid in high spirits. He had just completed the concealment of the demonic energy, and defeated the powerful enemy who challenged the sect.All the senior brothers and sisters showed gratifying smiles to him, and Zheng Qiuduan sat in a high position and nodded slightly to express his approval.

Ning Shi offered tea to the teacher for a formal introduction, and then greeted the twelve senior brothers and sisters respectively.

The actors in the play are very professional, and everyone's lines are memorized fluently. The four shots were only ng once, and one of them was due to the influence of the radio microphone. This progress is already very good.

Xing Ming is very satisfied with Lin Hong's work. Every time he fine-tunes the main light, Lin Hong can make corresponding processing on the auxiliary light. The whole process is natural and smooth without any problems. This is professionalism.

Lin Hong frowned slightly. He always felt that there was a problem with the lighting application in this scene. Of course, the problem was not with Xing Ming who was in charge of the lamp, nor with the assistant lights.The lighting team is lighting according to the requirements of the director and art, and it fully meets their requirements.

So the problem should lie with the director Yang Bing and the art director.
