Chapter 12 I might be a fan of a fool!
"Finally, things are going a little smoother." After the dismal first day when only four shots were produced.
The next day everything went smoothly.
For a rural film like this, which doesn't have many special effects and isn't complicated to shoot, it should have been shot very quickly.
But on the first day, the shooting was very slow.
Many actors simply cannot understand the story of the script.
On the set, Han Zhou got angry: "What the hell are you acting? Can't you make sense of these simple sentences?!"
Young Han Zhou was a director for the first time and he didn’t know how to shoot a movie.
Han Zhou only knew what shots he wanted, how he wanted the actors to speak, and what kind of expression they should have.
These are simple things.
It still couldn't be done well, so Han Zhou got angry.
It was the first time that Han Zhou got angry, and everyone was silent.
Wei Yuan stood up and said, "Director Han, this script is indeed difficult to understand..."
"What's the point of understanding the script?" Han Zhou: "Understand this script? I can't understand it, how can you understand it?!"
Everyone was stunned.
You wrote the script, and you can't even understand it?
Han Zhou slapped the script and said, "Everyone, just need to understand the part that is in your scene. Why do you need to understand the whole script? Do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?!"
Many people suddenly realized.
When shooting a movie about realistic themes, what is the movie supposed to be about? None of it has to do with you.
All you have to do is make sure that your performance is the same as what is written in the script and the shooting minutes.
After Han Zhou got angry, the filming went much more smoothly.
Except for the extras who were recruited locally, all the other people who were able to join this crew are talented. After all, Wang Xiya had configured this crew with a high level of talent in the first place.
You don't need to understand the script, so filming will be quick.
After the camera started shooting fast, Chen Dayong was the one who was confused.
Chen Dayong has worked with many directors.
From my debut as a photography assistant, to photography planner, to assistant photographer, to photographer, I have seen all kinds of directors in this long journey.
Almost every director’s reaction after watching a shot is either “This one is not good, it’s not quite up to standard” or “This one is good, let’s keep another one.”
What this means is that a certain factor is changed, and then it is repeated, and the material is retained.
For example, the actor's expression can be more stimulating, or the actor's emotions can be more high.
For example, the light moves slightly at an angle.
For example, move the camera further away to take another shot, and then move the camera closer to take another shot.
Such a transformation.
But Han Zhou is not like that.
After taking one take, Han Zhou looked at it and said , "This one is not good. The position is above the character's shoulders, leaving one-third of the head empty."
"What I want is that the character's face should be spread from this position to this position, and then be on the left side of the perspective. Also, this lens is off-center. The upper left corner should be aimed at the window, and the upper right corner should be aimed at the lamp. This is roughly the framing range."
It was as if he knew what kind of shot he wanted before shooting.
Chen Dayong has seen such people before.
This is how Director Zhang, the most famous director in the country, shoots movies. However, Director Zhang’s requirements for the range of shots are not so strict. Most of the time, he will explain the details of the shots and then say what the lighting should be like.
When Han Zhou was filming, he kept the frame very tight, which was even stricter than Director Zhang's requirements.
It doesn't give the photographer any room to play.
However, Han Zhou had no opinion on the lighting and the length of the shot.
Chen Dayong is very satisfied with this point, as he can display his artistic sense in this area.
If he knew that Han Zhou had already determined which parts of each shot would be edited and which parts would not be used, he would probably not be so easy to talk to.
At noon, when a large number of staff were having lunch, Han Zhou was discussing with Wei Yuan and Chen Dayong how to set up the venue for the afternoon show.
Han Zhou only knew what kind of picture he wanted in front of the camera.
But Han Zhou was at a loss as to what kind of work needed to be done outside the screen to capture such a scene.
Wei Yuan and Chen Dayong understood, so they explained it to Han Zhou bit by bit.
Han Zhou was studying as if he was repairing a building while taking a freshman civil engineering course.
The key is that it is repaired in a very good manner and gives people the feeling of high standards and strict requirements.
By the time the group finished their discussion, the lunch had gone and the remaining lunch boxes had become cold.
Han Zhou made some instant noodles and ate it.
Just as he picked up the noodles with a fork, Han Zhou thought of a shot that was suitable for shooting in the afternoon, and started thinking about how to arrange which scene to shoot first and which scene to shoot later.
When I came to my senses, the instant noodles on the table had already frozen into ice.
He held the fork in the air, not putting it down.
Therefore, the noodles that were picked up by the fork had already frozen hard.
Now there is no lunch at all.
Han Zhou took a photo of the instant noodles and posted it on Weibo.
“It’s really cold on the set.”
On Weibo, Han Zhou has gained another 7,000 followers in the past two days, and now has 17,000 followers.
Someone reported the good news: "'Happy Breakup' has reached the fifth place on the new music APP's new song chart, and it's in the top five!"
However, northerners are used to it, but southerners are dumbfounded.
"Frozen? Are you sure this instant noodle is not a prop from the crew?"
"He really froze while eating noodles? No way? The temperature must be several degrees below zero, right?"
"I'm from the north, let me tell you, it's not just a few degrees below zero here, it's more than 10 degrees below zero right now."
"Oh my god, it's so cold!"
Han Zhou's fans are also fighting with Kim Hyo-hee's fans.
But there are more emo people gathered here, so the atmosphere is less noisy, and most people are praising "Happy Breakup" for being good.
Someone else encouraged Han Zhou: "Perform well, and make sure you do well in the next episode and make it to the end!"
“I really like your songs, they are very well written, I hope you can make it to the end and write more songs!”
"Can you please read the rules carefully? I think with your level of "Happy Breakup", you have the ability to win the championship!"
However, Han Zhou did not respond to these Weibo posts, but instead got into his afternoon shooting schedule.
It was getting dark. Today's shooting was very intense. We shot at least six or seven minutes of movie footage.
What everyone doesn’t know is that these six or seven minutes can be edited into at least five minutes.
Everyone was used to editing more than ten hours of material into an hour and a half of film shooting, and thought that this movie would take nearly half a year to shoot.
No one knew that one fortieth of the total project had been completed.
Pack up and take a rest. The staff are all packing up.
After watching the footage for a whole day, Chen Dayong's eyes were blurry. He stood next to the house, staring at the snow in the distance and the big trees without leaves.
"Dry!"
"The more I look at it, the more my eyes hurt!"
When I was filming in the south and my eyes felt sore, I just looked out at the green scenery and the pain was relieved after a while.
When filming in the north in winter, the further I look at the sky, the more my head hurts.
Wei Yuan: "Looking at snow for too long will cause snow blindness."
Han Zhou held a cigarette in his mouth and walked towards the two of them, searching for his lighter with both hands: "Hey, where is my lighter?"
"What about the fire?"
Chen Dayong: "It seems that An Lan's cotton-padded jacket has unraveled, so I lent you my lighter to burn the thread, and then I didn't return it to you?"
"I have returned it!" Han Zhou remembered that he had returned it.
As a man, I spend a lot of time every day looking for a lighter.
Wei Yuan: "That means you just put it on the table, and someone else took it to light a cigarette and took it away."
Han Zhou cursed: "Damn it, I lose a lighter every day, can you lend me yours?"
Wei Yuan gave out a lighter.
Han Zhou lit the cigarette and put it in his pocket.
"What are you doing!" Wei Yuan shouted, "Give it back to me!"
"This lighter of mine is the classic version for bikini girls. Do you want to take it away?"
Han Zhou looked down on it and said, "It's the classic version. How much is it?"
Wei Yuan: “Two pieces!”
Han Zhou took out a five-yuan bill that had become soft and crumpled. "No need to change it."
Wei Yuan: “…”
Smoking a cigarette, Han Zhou looked into the distance.
Chen Dayong sighed: "It's really hard to have fun in the north. Next time , let's get together and go to the south to make a movie?!"
Chen Dayong now recognizes Han Zhou's strength.
Although he doesn't know many basic things, his work state is at the level of only the top directors.
Han Zhou looked down on him and said, "There are so many interesting things in the north, but you don't have the eyes to discover beauty."
Chen Dayong was not convinced: "Bullshit!"
"It's a photographer's job to find beauty. Are you questioning my eyes?"
Wei Yuan blew a breath towards Chen Dayong's glasses: "I doubt it too."
The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
An Lan was wearing earmuffs and holding two cobs of corn: "I bought two cobs from a fellow villager. Let's go roast them!"
Of course, they asked Han Zhou. Wei Yuan and Chen Dayong were very aware of this.
Han Zhou handed the phone to An Lan, then took the corn himself: "Wait a minute, I'll show you something fun."
"Take a shot, or Chen Dayong will deny it later."
An Lan turned on the camera in confusion.
Han Zhou pointed to the pole where a fellow villager was hanging clothes and said, "Do you believe that iron in the north is sweet?"
Wei Yuan and Chen Dayong, two southerners, didn't believe it: "Bullshit, you're just kidding, keep on kidding."
Han Zhou: "If you don't believe me, lick it!"
Chen Dayong: "Bullshit, just lick the pole if it's clean."
Wei Yuan: "Is the iron from the north really sweet?"
Han Zhou: "Am I lying to you? Let me lick first, and you two follow."
Chen Dayong stuck out his tongue: "It's ready!"
Han Zhou kicked him and said, "Go find a pole by yourselves, who will lick the same pole with you?"
After everything is ready.
Han Zhou licked the pole, and Chen Dayong and Wei Yuan followed.
Immediately, Wei Yuan was surprised: "Hey! Got the head, got the head, it's settled!"
Chen Dayong: “…”
Damn retard...
Han Zhou's tongue stuck to the iron rod, and he laughed until he was numb: "Ga ga ga ga ga ga ga~"
Then the other two poles, Chen Dayong and Wei Yuan, who were sticking their butts out and licking the iron poles, also started laughing.
Han Zhou stuck his tongue to the pole, raised his butt, and asked for help: "An An, An An, um, An An, Theo, hot water, hot water."
When this video was posted on Weibo, Han Zhou's fans were stunned.
"I'm afraid I'm a fan of a fool..."
