Chapter 2070

"Even when shooting the image projected by the mirror, it is still simple and crude to use the forward and reverse technology. This kind of stubbornness is absolutely not what ordinary people can have. Director, are you sure you are willing to open your ears? "

What Langley is talking about is the use of lens in "you're not there". Todd Hayes is not lack of technology, but has almost paranoid adherence to his own aesthetic judgment. He also mercilessly exposes the director's words.

The so-called positive and negative play is actually the most basic and frequent technique in directing skills. It is widely used in character dialogue scenes, that is, when two people face-to-face, the lens switches to the characters. The general view is "over the shoulder", that is to shoot the front of the speaker over the shoulder of the person with his back to the camera, and then switch to insert several close-up shots without shoulder back as a supplement to the positive and negative combination.

In addition, positive and negative play is the basic technology. There are more changes in the internal and external anti play technology, but in the final analysis, it is a basic technology for shooting dialogue. In commercial films, positive and negative play technology is widely used, because the technical content is relatively low, shooting is very easy, and it does not need careful thinking and layout; But in art movies, if they are frequently used, they often think that the director lacks imagination and control, which is a negative attitude to artistic creation.

Of course, there are also directors like Todd, who can flexibly use many advanced technologies, but sometimes paranoid to use basic technologies to complete the shooting. They also have their own considerations. That's another matter.

Todd, however, was not angry. He nodded his head in agreement; The discussion still needs to be carried out, but how to adjust when shooting is my freedom. "

Todd's right made Langley laugh. "I can't refute it. It's the director's privilege, isn't it?"

"If you're willing to enforce the producer's power, I don't think I have much room to resist, do I? After all, I'm not the one who paid for it. " Todd came back with a slight understatement, which made the air in the kitchen cool a little.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the kitchen door, and the friction of the emergency brake could be clearly detected. Todd and lanli both cast their eyes towards the door, and then they could see a staff member's face full of consternation. After a half shot, they said, "... Director, everything is ready. Jesus - Hell Christ, it's really blue After that, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue and began to run away.

Todd put his hands behind him. "Let's go. Are you ready to go and see the film? Now that I'm here, you always have to look at the shooting process. Do I only use the forward and backward techniques? "

This... Be careful, Lan Li is still bitterly resentful. In order to shift his goal, he comes to visit the director. As a result, the director thinks that he comes to supervise, or even interfere in the director's work. The goal is achieved, but is the degree of deviation too severe?

But... Now it's too late to regret. Langley obediently followed Todd and walked towards the hall.

"Everybody, Lan Li has come to visit us." Todd stood at the door of the hall and said it without warning, just like a cat and a dog passing by the crew, and then went through the next passage.

Lan Li, who arrived just after him, was "displayed" in front of the crowd. Qi's eyes were all projected towards Lan Li, and Todd's indifferent tone was even more casual, which made the scene atmosphere more delicate.

People's eyes were a little confused, and they didn't seem to understand Todd's tone. Lan Li, who understood the reason, couldn't criticize the director's works publicly, which was a bit ambiguous.

But lanli has experienced numerous storms, how can he be easily defeated? "Obviously, the director expressed strong dissatisfaction with my sudden visit without saying hello in advance, hoping that my appearance would not disturb the daily work progress of the crew, otherwise it would be my fault. In order not to let the director continue to hate me, we'd better get into the work quickly and don't be distracted any more. If this continues, Kate and Rooney will blame me

The self teasing easily solved the crisis and made the whole staff laugh together. In addition, the two actors were also mentioned by the way to cover up their real intention of visiting the crew. It can be said that there are many things at one stroke and the adverse situation was reversed in an instant.

In the cheerful atmosphere of the whole audience, Kate looks at lanli meaningfully. Then she stands beside her and says something in her ear. Then she can see that her cheek turns red and she looks at Kate with a smile. The two also communicate in a low voice.

Kate also deliberately cast a line of sight at blue Li, and along with Rooney also followed.

Lanli shook his head helplessly. How did he feel that he was very unpopular in this production group, and there were enemies in all directions. I really didn't feel this way for a long time.

Todd's face was dissatisfied. He was strongly disgusted with lanli's "glib" and frowned slightly. It was as if lanli had just poured the food on the table, and then began to paint with his fingers. His inexplicable and self righteous behavior made others uncomfortable.

Langley can clearly feel Todd's vision: it really interprets the meaning of the word "Ru Ru Ru Zai Bei"; However, the crew members obviously welcomed the arrival of lanli. The hustle and bustle of communication never stopped. Their eyes and smiles showed their true feelings.

Some people grumble, but they don't feel particularly handsome. How can they become a god of men.

Some people pay attention to the fact that the etiquette of the hereditary aristocracy is really different, and it is obviously powerful.

Some people wonder if they can take a group photo with Lan Li. Such opportunities are rare.

In any case, the inquisitive inquiry lasted for a short time. Finally, Todd took out his loudspeaker and cleared his throat deliberately. "All departments are ready, and we are going to start shooting next." Although he didn't say much, he was still dissatisfied with the fact that all his eyes were robbed by Lan Li.

All in all, Todd was not happy with the arrival of Langley and didn't care at all, showing a rare repulsion. For Langley, it was also a rare scene. He could not help standing beside him and didn't let himself disturb the shooting work as much as possible.

But the shooting finally started.

Although lanli's presence did lead to some discussions, the on-site staff were very professional. After the shooting, the whole atmosphere changed, solemn and orderly. It's just a phenomenon that the staff without responsibilities didn't turn around to have a rest, and they all gathered at the shooting scene, which also made the scene atmosphere particularly lively. Oxygen has reached the degree of scarcity, making people feel the super density of the crowd.

The performances of Rooney and Kate are very professional, and the shooting of the whole scene goes very smoothly; But Todd's shooting state seems to have some fluctuations. He changed six and seven lens scheduling methods to complete the shooting, always trying to find a more appropriate and more accurate way of presentation.

After all, the director is a creative job and needs to constantly seek inspiration; However, Langley noticed a small detail. In Todd's shooting technique, he did not use the basic technique of positive and negative, which made Todd feel constrained unconsciously and made the progress of shooting appear to be stumbling.

Lan Li couldn't laugh or cry.

Although positive and negative technology is the basic technology, which is not really profound, the real way to simplify and return to nature is to burst out a steady stream of artistic vitality on the basis of basic technology. If you deliberately avoid basic technology, it is easy to fall into the pattern of dazzle and lose the essence of lens serving for the film. In the end, the "Birdman" mirror has some such meaning.

However, lanli also knows that if he deliberately reminds him, he will be inferior. Because he is not a director, he has no way to judge Todd's shooting skills or whether Todd's shooting choice is correct. Naturally, he is not qualified to guide Todd's creation——

For "Carol", he is just the audience, watching quietly, and then choose to like or not, that's OK; As for how a director should create, that's not his field.

What's more, what evidence does Langley have to prove that Todd is deliberately avoiding the use of pros and cons? What if Todd wasn't ready to use it and it had nothing to do with Langley? Then his advice is to be affectionate. For Lan Li now, it's more appropriate for him to say more mistakes, to say less mistakes and to say nothing.

So, Lan Li chose to shut up and watch quietly.

At the end of shooting in the morning, he was still shooting the same scene. Todd didn't say whether he was satisfied or not. He just kept switching shooting methods to supplement the lens, so that the two actors could ponder over the scenes carefully. Coupled with the occasional mistakes, the shooting work of more than two hours in the morning came to an end.

Just in time, the scene in the morning is difficult. The emotional communication between Kate and Rooney is very important. The delicate eyes and atmosphere are undoubtedly the top priority. The two actors also need a little time to break in. Todd's shooting techniques also give them more time and space to polish.

A little delay in the progress of shooting, it has become a matter of course.

This means that Langley's choice of silence is wise - perhaps Todd deliberately slowed down? Did Todd deliberately let the two actors develop a tacit understanding? It's better for the producer not to interfere in the work of the director.
