Disaster Artist

"...All units, ready, one last confirmation, camera crew? Lighting crew? Sound crew? Actor crew?"

On the set, there was no sound, and while the audience was highly tense, it was also full of excitement and excitement, and bright lights flashed in his eyes.

On the social network, there is a lot of excitement, and the controversy and discussion are always surging. The silence of Liuguang Pictures and the commotion of Yunxiang Entertainment seem to prove that the speculation of netizens is likely to be correct.

In the Bundang studio, it was another look.

The "raid" crew was completely calm, as if they didn't notice the atmosphere of any online heat wave, all those disputes and gossip had nothing to do with them.

At the same time, the retreat of Bailiantang also took away the reporters. The Uncrowned King couldn't wait to return to Lanchuan, ready to dig out the shocking news. In comparison, a Lu Qian's weight was really not enough to see, and the disappearance of the flashlight also made the air quiet.

Of course, the most important thing is the role of the director.

On the second day of the incident, Lu Qian continued to shoot with a calm expression on his face. His focused and devoted appearance calmed down all the voices of speculation and discussion. Even the entire crew slowly calmed down and returned to the production of the film. on top, and then shooting quickly got back on track.

The biggest advantage of Bundang is that, like a paradise, it is far away from the chaos of Lanchuan, so that all noises can be temporarily excluded.

Today, the crew is preparing to shoot a very, very important and extremely difficult scene. They have been rehearsing for a week before and after, and they have tried to shoot four times, but they all ended in failure. Explore the reasons for failure and ways to improve, learn from failures, and strive to improve.

According to Lu Qian's idea, he was going to use a one-shot long lens to connect to the moving lens of Chen Mu's handheld camera, presenting a completely different viewing experience.

Among them, in the part of one mirror to the end, Lu Qian borrowed the inspiration of the classic corridor fight scene of "Old Boys" to show the side profile of a corridor, like a perspective drawing, moving laterally with the main character's fight, like a picture scroll slowly Expand as usual, kill from the beginning of the corridor to the end of the corridor, in one go.

Then, after the corridor turns, the camera cuts.

From the perspective of covering the panorama from the middle ground, I entered the pseudo-documentary close to the skin and breathed for the first time. Following the actions of the protagonist, I entered the second round of fights without breathing space, and it was a close-to-the-body fight with fists to the flesh and blood to the knife, blood bursting, The sound of broken bones hit his face.

It really highlights the sense of substitution and realism of the first-perspective lens.

You can feel the difficulties just from the description, and it is even more difficult to enter the actual shooting. All the teams of the entire crew need to cooperate and cooperate. Any error in any link may lead to failure, but it is still difficult to meet Lu Qian's requirements.

It's always frustrating to fail, but the atmosphere on "The Raid" was different.

Because of the existence of Lu Qian, and because key figures such as Chen Mu and Su Ziyi always maintain a strong fighting spirit like a cockfight, they can instead make failure the soil for progress and growth. Looking forward to a perfect shot.

Now, the fifth attempt is about to begin. The crew is not tired, sleepy, or irritable. One or two are all tense.

In order to shoot this scene, the crew separately built a temporary studio behind the apartment building, and built the scene inside the apartment building in a one-to-one ratio. It took Bai Cheng nearly three weeks to complete, and it was lifelike. Restoring the scene-

The entire studio is square, close to one of the corners, showing two corridors at ninety degrees.

The corridor directly in front is a side section, and what is presented in front of the crew is a section, as if drilling into the wall of the corridor, and then appreciate the structure of the corridor in a three-dimensional way; but in the actual studio, the sides of the corridor are connected with each other. The ground is the ground, and the scene is completely black, paving the way of the camera, that is, the place where the crew members are filming their work.

At the end of the corridor, after a 90-degree turn, a complete corridor is connected. Like a box, the camera must be drilled into the box to fully display the real scene of the corridor in 360 degrees; in reality, the crew was isolated in the corridor. Outside the wall, you can't see what's inside, you can only watch it in real time through the monitor.

The entire studio is now weird and special, and with the camera lenses, tracks, lighting and sound equipment, it's like a mechanical pod has been deconstructed.

This scene, in terms of the director's technique, is actually a picture presented by Lu Qian deliberately showing off his skills, which fully demonstrates the director's scheduling of shots and the construction of the picture; but in terms of the presentation effect, it is Lu Qian who created Artest. The first climax of the strong debut, detonating adrenaline.

Before that, the "raid" was a multi-line interweaving, showing a panoramic view of the confrontation between the entire SWAT team and the apartment building. Artest was only a part of the many members, far from showing the aura of the protagonist; but this scene is a turning point in the story. The SWAT team was in danger of being wiped out by the entire army. Instead, it became the turtle in the urn and was severely sniped.

Then, the focus of the entire narrative shifts from group portraits to protagonist mode.

The film production industry has matured, and rhythm and structure are life for commercial films, and most mature commercial films have a three-act structure:

In Act 1, determine the character's goals and set up conflict so that the audience can participate in the story.

The second act shows the difficulties that the protagonist needs to overcome through the conflict of the plot, and highlights the difficulty of the difficulties, so that the audience can feel the many challenges that the protagonist has endured, and in various plot conflicts, the arc of the protagonist's character is constructed to enhance the audience's resonance and Bring it in, and then meet the ultimate challenge~www.novelmt.com~ In the third act, the protagonist meets the ultimate challenge.

In simple terms, it can be summarized as "setting events", "stimulating events", "solving events", and then based on three acts, the subdivision of the plot branches is carried out, and five-act dramas, seven-act dramas, etc. are further developed. This is also known as "Well-Structured Drama" and can be considered a basic writing rule for commercial films,

This scene is precisely the connection and turning point of the first and second scenes. It not only plays the role of linking the past, but also undertakes the important task of establishing the image of the protagonist. Perspective", of course, is also the key to the success or failure of the film -

Otherwise, if it is too jerky and rigid, the narrative will easily "spread" from group portraits to individuals, which will make the audience feel inexplicable; and if the protagonist does not have a "halo", the audience will refuse to "enter" the protagonist's perspective.

The original "raid" didn't have such a scene at all, and the narrative fluency and sense of immersion were affected to some extent.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Qian conceived it himself and constructed a new shooting method in such a way.
