Disaster Artist

"I tell you, these broilers are doomed from birth. They have been stuffed with so much feed since they were young, and they are cultivated in an assembly line as if they have no soul, and then they are sent to the slaughterhouse to end their lives when the time is up. Existence is never worthwhile, and the only chance to prove one's worth is to be fried chicken."

"On top of the fresh meat they have worked so hard to cultivate, they are wrapped in flour and eggs to become fried clothes, and they are fried in a 120-degree golden oil pan until they are fresh and crispy. The next step is to enter our stomachs to become Full of calories, exploding in the body, making our taste buds and fat feel the supreme joy."

"We should be grateful, have a pious heart, and enjoy them well, so that they can die properly."

Saying that, Bai Cheng stuffed a piece of fried chicken into his mouth again, and chewed it, as if he was using every cell in his body to feel the taste of the perfect fusion of the sauce and the meat, and happiness overflowed from the pores. There was a contented look on the surface.

Su Ziyi couldn't hold back and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Lu Qian knew that as long as it was food, Bai Cheng was full of enthusiasm, but looking at Bai Cheng's intoxicated face, he couldn't help laughing dumbly, "You eat, you eat, anyway, your work is almost ready, the details are Adjust, we can talk on set.”

Bai Cheng, Lu Qian and Ji Xu are all college classmates. He is best at setting, that is, creating the entire set.

What is the set?

Very simple, the bedroom of the programmer and the cheerleader must have two styles, so how should the character of the character be displayed through the set of the room?

On the surface, the audience will not notice these backgrounds at all, but in fact, the details determine the outcome.

For example, what books are on the shelf? Is there even a bookshelf?

For example, what is the main color of the room? Does the room even have one dominant color?

For example, what does the bed in the room look like? Just a mattress, or well laid out?

and so on.

It seems that no one pays attention to these details, but in fact it is part of the sense of film. Compared with the fixed stage of the drama and the scenes of the TV series are too numerous to be taken care of one by one, the scene of the movie needs a lot of thought to be able to present a perfect effect. A set requires a lot of thought.

But the reality is that, just like lighting, the scenery is also a link that is ignored by the audience, and often they do not notice the important role of the scenery at all.

In fact, a top set designer is definitely a director's dream partner.

As a simple example, a black-and-white room and a pink-colored room present different visual impacts to the audience. Even if the audience is fully immersed in the film and does not notice these details, psychological hints are also happening. Part of the character is part of the movie.

The work of setting is actually very, very particular, and requires a lot of research and preparation. It is definitely not a job that can be fooled casually. A truly top-level set designer not only has a profound research on history, culture, and life, but also has a keen sense of the psychology of the characters and the scenarios conceived by the director.

Bai Cheng can be regarded as a little rich second generation.

His parents opened a furniture store, which is neither a chain nor a big company, but they have extensive local contacts and resources, and the business has always been very good. In addition, they also have regular cooperation with the studios of different film companies. , the industry chain has been very perfect.

Bai Cheng's keenness on the set comes from being fascinated by him since childhood. However, for him, movies are just an interest. If he fails anyway, he can always go home and inherit the family business.

The preparation of the set can take a long time in advance, because it needs to be investigated, conceived, experimented, and maybe even needs to be modeled to simulate.

In fact, Bai Cheng's preliminary work has basically been completed, but after Lu Qian has adapted the script, the roles have increased and the scenes have also increased correspondingly, which also means that Bai Cheng still has a lot of work to complete.

However, considering the budget, Lu Qian had an idea to solve the set problem in a low-cost and efficient manner, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

Taking back his gaze, Lu Qian looked at Su Ziyi again and explained his thoughts.

In the work "Unfriending", the main shots are all done through the front camera of the computer, just like the camcorder, which restricts the shots, and the photographer's job is relatively simple. Even if you want to create some effects, you can't be too If it goes too far, it will easily destroy the sense of reality conveyed by the pseudo-documentary, which will outweigh the gains.

Now, what Lu Qian hopes to do is to present different psychological cues through the lighting layout—

The premise is that you can't go overboard.

In the original version of "Unfriending", almost no lighting was used, and the lighting in the bedroom was purely used, which is undoubtedly a huge regret for a thriller movie.

"...You mean, you want to use lighting to create changes in characters' characters and their situations?"

As soon as Su Zi heard Lu Qian's request, he could not help repeating it again, and then Lu Qian added another sentence.

"Don't be divorced from reality, we can't break the effect of pseudo-documentary."

Su Ziyi nodded lightly, "It's a bit difficult, but not impossible."

Su Ziyi's brain was already running at a high speed, so when UU reading www.uukanshu.com entered the working state, there was no more joking.

"As far as the simplest lighting is concerned, if it is hung directly above the head at the twelve o'clock position, the character's face will actually be very ugly, and the shadow of the eyelids and the bridge of the nose will add a gloomy feeling, but the character is slightly Take two steps forward and the whole visual will warm up.”

"Moreover, whether the lighting is yellow or white, and whether the bulbs are arranged in a circle, petals, or in a line, the effect of the light will change slightly."

Lu Qian snapped his fingers and nodded in agreement, "Yes, this is what I think."

Lu Qian has almost perverted requirements for movie pictures, because in horror movies, details determine success or failure, and these parts must not be sloppy.

"First of all, we have six characters that will appear on the screen, some in the living room, some in the bedroom, some in the bathroom, and some in the study. I hope that the lighting of the six people is slightly different, showing different personalities with different lights. "

"For example, some people are very arrogant, so the light is like an angel's halo, which can light up the whole face."

"For example, some people still trim their nails and make masks in the bathroom even when they are chatting with friends."

"For example, some people just leave a lamp to hide in the dark."

"Lighting actually also represents a character's character, situation, and situation. Even in a computer video chat room, some people will prepare special lights to set themselves off, while others will let it go. The difference between these details is very important to the character. Important addition, because we're not going to introduce to the audience individually, hey, this person is a princess, this person is a megalomaniac..."

Incessantly gushing, the thoughts in Lu Qian's mind rushed out like a tide.
