Chapter 21

Australia's winter in addition to strong wind or strong wind, the raging wind makes people almost unstable, as if as long as you open your arms, you will fly directly into the sky like a kite. The vast field of vision unfolds in front of us. We can't see any people in the vicinity for 30 minutes. That kind of quiet and vast brings us an indescribable sense of loneliness. Human beings are so small in front of nature.

However, after the baptism of the boot camp, lanli has become calm, not because he has enough ability to accept the dangerous environment, but because he knows that there are always more difficult times after the most difficult times.

Tim told him that on the battlefield, being alive was the only thing that mattered. Even after ten days of training, the threat of death is still not clear enough, even the night when his toes were almost frozen off in the wilderness is not enough, but at least there is a beginning.

After the San Diego boot camp, the entire "Pacific War" crew came to Australia, ready for official filming.

From beginning to end, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg never showed up. It is said that they will visit the crew next week. Tom, who directed the fifth episode as a director in brothers company last time, will not be involved in directing this time because he is looking for a suitable production company for his next work "special sound, very close".

However, whether Tom and Steven show up or not, the crew will finally turn on, which is 100% certain. All previous preparations were for today.

Looking at the busy film set in front of me, it's more strange than familiar.

With the monitor as the boundary, it is divided into two parts: the front is the formal shooting scene, the staff are laying the shooting track, the photographer and the lighting engineer are adjusting the light, the props engineer is making sure that all the furnishings are OK, the sound engineer is standing beside the drama, confirming the next shooting process, and then installing the radio equipment; In the rear is the standby part. The director takes the radio to communicate directly with the person in charge of each department, while the deputy director listens to the dispatcher. The other actors sit next to a giant RV and hand themselves over to the make-up artist and stylist. The rest of the audience are standing three steps away chatting

Lanli has seen the scenes of the set shooting in countless movies, and what happened in front of him has appeared countless times in the dream, but when it really happened in front of him, the feeling of blood boiling still can't be contained. No, to be more precise, he didn't want to contain it. He just let his surging thoughts run rampant. As a man of two generations, he is about to really stand in front of the camera and realize his dream according to his own wishes for the first time.

Although he did not know whether the dream was practical enough, although he did not know where the road would lead, although he did not know how many waves his little butterfly could make with the heavy responsibility of breaking the track of history; But, he does not regret, he will not regret.

"All the actors are in place." David Nutter picked up the loudspeaker and yelled, which immediately caught everyone's attention, and the actors gathered around the monitor. Lanli is no exception.

He is a professional TV director and is very famous in the industry. He is under 50 years old. His resume includes "Star Partner", "evil power", "super sense detective" and other works. Later, he also directed "game of power", "homeland security", "shameless man", "lightning man", "green arrow" and other dramas.

In the United States, the director of TV series is not fixed. There may be seven or eight different directors in 24 episodes of a season, or even more, who are responsible for directing different episodes“ The same is true of "the Pacific War". There are six directors in ten episodes. David is only responsible for the guide tube of the first and fourth episodes.

"The first scene will start immediately. Please go to your positions and follow the process of the drama. If you have any questions, please come up with them as soon as possible, and then we will start shooting." David simply explained that after a pause, "today is the first scene of the Pacific War. I hope the whole film will be shot smoothly."

Here... Do you want to clap?

Lanli looked around, and he was not sure, but then David put the trumpet aside, and the actors and staff scattered. Obviously, this was the start-up ceremony. There was no official and grand in the rumor, and it was so understated. Lan Li couldn't help but adjust his breath, clear up his mind, and quickly walked into the shooting scene.

Although Langley is a complete layman and has no real experience in TV shooting and movie shooting, he had enough knowledge of paper shooting before. He also recorded his performance with a video camera during his college study and spent a lot of time polishing it in the west end of London. So he knew that the first step was to figure out what he was doing, And what to do.

For performance, it's not just to stand in front of the camera to perform. Most intuitively, the performance needs to be captured by the camera and captured correctly, which requires the actor to know the location of the camera, light and lens, and then walk according to the setting of the opponent's actors or the stand track, so as to avoid blocking the camera or playing partners.

Of course, it's just basic knowledge. As for how to communicate with the camera, how to communicate with the director or audience behind the camera, how to communicate with the opponent actors, and how to perform, the performance methods of close range, medium range, long range and close-up are different, which can only be learned slowly in the process of performance.

Lanli was a little nervous. Although he was a man of two generations, his experiences were useless. This was the first time he stood in front of the camera. Palms slightly permeated with sweat, but without any hesitation, he went straight forward and began to consult the drama, one after another.

Darin rivetti is a little impatient. As the general drama of the "Pacific War", he needs to manage too many things. Because this is the first play, he does it himself. At present, the young man is just asking basic questions. He is either trying to embarrass him or humiliate him. Finally, he burst out with irritability, "you idiot, How can you ask me such a question that even new people know? "

Lan Li, however, was not frightened at all. He cast his eyes attentively. "This is my first work, so I need to confirm the difference between what I learned in the college and the actual combat. This is for more efficient work. Isn't it? "

Darling looked at lanli's sincere expression, his deep pupils were full of brown mellow and bright in the bright sun, and he choked his throat with solemn solemnity. He could not retort at all, but could only vent his anger, "which blind guy chose you, and actually chose a rookie? Eugene is an important character, the protagonist! The protagonist

"Mr. Steven Spielberg." Blue Li is still innocent, choking darling almost choked by his own saliva.

Darling turned around and was ready to leave, but lanli stopped him again. "So, is the first scene from mid shot to long shot, or from close shot to mid shot? Will the lens rotate in hand, or move according to the track? "

The triviality of the question made darling clench his teeth and constantly warn himself: bear it, bear it, this is the first day, bear it, and there will be a long six months after that. But maybe he can give this self righteous "genius" a little warning, just like teaching rookies in the boot camp, "medium range, long range, track moving." Instead of being entangled, darling came back neatly, then turned and left.

Lanli nodded, went to his position and began to prepare for his first play, which is also the first play of the entire "Pacific War" crew. In order to make a good start, he chose a relatively simple part to shoot.

The content is about Eugene's father's physical examination. There is still a murmur in his heart, so Eugene can't join the army, which makes him disappointed and even cry. This is the first scene of Eugene's whole play. However, in view of the lengthy and complicated shooting of this scene, and the close-up of his face, David chose the scene after this scene as the first scene.

Eugene left the bedroom and went downstairs. His father and brother were listening to the radio. The war was getting worse and worse. His brother was about to join the army. He was sitting face to face with his father in a straight uniform. Standing at the door of the living room, Eugene saw such a harmonious scene, but recalled that he could not join the army because of his health. He was upset and angry, so he rushed out of the porch and rode out with his dog to relax.

This scene is about Eugene standing at the door and looking at his father and brother. It takes less than five seconds, from the emotion of his father and brother to the vibration of Eugene, and ends with Eugene leaving.

The content is relatively rich, but it is relatively simple, and the mood is relatively single. There are no big ups and downs. Shooting will be relatively smooth. It's very appropriate to choose this play as the starting point of the whole series.

Standing at the stairway, Lan Li let his mind down. He looked at the camera standing in front of him, and then at the camera standing behind the left dining room facing the living room. He constructed a three-dimensional composition of the picture in his mind. When he was ready, he made an "OK" gesture to indicate that the director was ready.

After a while, when my father and brother's actors were ready, the voice of "Pacific War, August 3, 2009, the third act, the second play, the first shooting." After that, the clear sound of playing board started, announcing the official start of shooting.

Lanli stepped down the stairs and heard a radio voice explaining the tragic situation of the Pacific War. This made his step pause. He turned his head and saw his father and brother listening to the news in the living room. His step was completely put down and stayed in the same place. He looked at the two figures in a daze.

At this moment, a red light appeared in the field of vision, and then slowly retreated. This unexpected red light disrupted the rhythm of Lan Li's performance - didn't it mean that the medium range turned to the long range? Why is it close-up? Isn't that orbital photography? Why do you see a cameraman with a camera on his shoulder?

"Card!" David's voice broke the silence of the set.

The first scene, it's stuck.
