Chapter 348 The Charm of Movies

How to measure whether an actor is excellent? If he has a solid knowledge of lines and expressive movements, he can be called excellent as he should be.

And how to measure whether an actor has reached the top? On the basis of an excellent actor, we need to add the two items of emotional control that are accurate to the slightest, and perform stably, and maintain peak condition at all times.

As long as the above points can be achieved, top actors will be worthy of the title. Mickey and his gang have always measured top actors in this way, but in a very short period of time, Lu Ze broke their understanding of top actors and even redefined them.

set the standard for top actors.

Mickey had no intention of filming the first scene on the same day. Although the difficulty of this scene could only be considered above average, due to the short start-up time, the actors also needed to understand and adapt to the roles. The extras were still a bunch of people who had never filmed before.

The farmer's child in the play, all kinds of situations are added up, and the difficulty is really not low.

But Lu Ze gave Mickey a huge surprise...or a shock is more appropriate. First, he mastered the script at an extremely fast speed, read the characters' personalities well, and mastered all the context of the script. This was an arduous task that couldn't be more difficult.

The task, but Lu Ze secretly mastered it all without Mickey even paying attention.

Not only that, he also affected the emotional state of everyone in the audience, including the extras. Even these children who had never seen how to make a movie and were always looking at the camera curiously were inadvertently seduced by Lu Ze.

He lost his attention, completely forgetting that he was under the camera, and completely regarded the environment as an ordinary but extraordinary course.

If this skill of being able to seduce other people's attention in such an understatement were spread, Lu Ze would probably lose his reputation as a showbiz star.

What was the final result? The scene was planned to take a day, but was not intended to be filmed in one go. When Mickey called to stop, everyone was a little stunned. Only the two actors who participated in the filming of this scene, namely Lu

Ze and Fanny were not overly surprised.

Fanny is Mickey's daughter. She got the script months in advance. It's easy to understand that she is so talented that she can perform stably and well, but this excellence still needs a reference.

If you compare her performance with outstanding actors of the same age or older than her, her performance is indeed very eye-catching, but if you compare her with Lu Ze... From language to actions to emotions, she will inevitably look a bit immature and not on the same level at all.

of.

But this is already the ceiling of Fanny's level. Mickey also knows that with Lu Ze driving her state, being able to shoot like this is actually Fanny's super performance.

Seeing that everyone was still stunned, Lu Ze was used to being looked at with admiring eyes during filming. He did not move or move. He smiled and said to the children below that get out of class was over, turned around and raised his head to Mickey.

"Didn't you agree to buy children's meals for the children? Why don't you go and buy them?"

"Oh, yes, Abby, could you please make a trip?"

Mickey greeted his ex-girlfriend. She had no objection to Mickey's instructions. She just looked at Lu Ze with a hint of surprise in his eyes. She was probably lamenting where Mickey had found such an unassuming master. She took a second look.

Finally, he nodded, picked up his bag and walked out of the school.

"What to shoot next?"

"Who knows what I'm shooting. I originally planned to do a one-day test shoot, but after including the time to set up the location, it didn't take more than two hours in total. The plan was completely messed up. Tell me what you want me to do. Forget it, I'll call Lola.

Just give me a call, it’s only a little over an hour from Liverpool, let’s take some shots of the children having fun first.”

Lola was a special actor who played the role of the school principal. She was on the same level as Chris. They were both young actors. She didn't hesitate after receiving Mickey's call and was really on call.

Don't think that young British actors live a very comfortable life. In fact, their living conditions are not much different from those in Hengdian. Without work, there is no food.

Originally, she was not going to come until next weekend, which was the planned official shooting day. Now that we have called her here a week in advance, we really can’t tell what her condition will be.

But there is really no way around it. After all, the crew is here and the equipment has been moved down. If we only shoot for two hours and call it a day after the scene, then today’s labor costs will be too expensive. Why?

You also need to shoot more, otherwise the price cannot be matched, and no crew can afford to change scene after scene.

While waiting for Lola to arrive, Lu Ze took the children to the playground to shoot the playful scene. The children felt like they were very cooperative with this kind person who reminded the "boss" to buy children's meals.

I started running with Lu Ze and played football, which every British boy must know how to use two feet.

Parents got the news in advance and brought their children's equipment. Farmers in the UK actually earn a lot, and at least they live a relatively wealthy life. And brands like Adidas and Nike are not very expensive in the UK. Every child

They were all wearing famous brands and looked stylish. There were a few kids who were good at kicking the ball, but Lu Ze really couldn't kick them and even tripped and fell several times.

After several shots were taken, the children had changed several sets of clothes. Just when they felt a little tired, Mickey's ex-girlfriend and Lola entered the school.

Lola is a fat woman. She looks about forty years old. It’s really hard to say her actual age. After all, it is recognized around the world that white people age quickly. Mickey briefly chatted with Lola and asked about the script.

Seeing how confident she was, Mickey didn't say much and greeted the photographer back to the teaching building.

"Lola, go and change your clothes. Let me take a look at the camera. Put it up here."

The equipment was rearranged, and Lu Ze had nothing to do. He found a seat and sat down casually, but his eyes were always following Mickey's every instruction. When he heard Mickey tell the location of the camera, Lu Ze unconsciously

He frowned, stood up, walked to the camera and took a look, then pointed at the camera and asked Mickey in confusion.

"Put it here? This angle...is it a bit narrow? The depth doesn't seem to be enough."

No matter what device people use to watch movies, such as TVs, theater screens, mobile phones, and tablets, these devices are all two-dimensional and projected on a flat surface, but the images inside are three-dimensional. That is to say, whether you use a camera,

When you shoot a video with a mobile phone or even a landline phone, what you capture is not a picture, but a space.

So the so-called depth refers to the length of space. When Lu Ze and Mickey talked about this movie before, they basically determined the shooting technique from the storyboard, mainly using coldness and openness as the basic colors and space use, but with the current camera

Judging from the location of the installation, the space is obviously narrower and looks a bit stuffy.

"Do you think I don't know? Just look up."

It wasn't until the moment he raised his head that Lu Ze understood Mickey's helplessness. This school had a shed hanging from the ceiling. The ceiling was originally low, but the hanging shed made it even lower. Even though a person with a height of 2.5 meters could walk here without any problem.

, but for movie shooting, the problem is a bit big. Not only is the ceiling too low, but the captured images will still be a bit boring. The most important thing is that the ceiling is a bit particular in the film and television industry.

If you pay careful attention to most movies, you will find that there may not be a single shot of the ceiling in the entire movie, because when many movies are shot, they are not shot in real locations, but in a studio, and above the studio is

There is no ceiling because the ceiling is now used for lighting and recording equipment.

So once a shot of the ceiling appears in a movie, don't be confused. Since it appears, it must be intentional. It may not bring about a turning point, but at least it will use space to express the atmosphere and emotion at that time. If Mickey is still

If you shoot a ceiling shot just to increase the depth of the space, once it enters the film festival selection, shooting a useless ceiling shot will definitely be a major loss of points.

How to change it? Lu Ze and Mickey were both lost in thought, and entered into a dilemma. If you don't change the shot, you will lose points if the ceiling is exposed. Change it. The space feature of the script is mainly the pursuit of openness, and suddenly a boring shot came.

Even for a second, in the eyes of ordinary viewers, it is nothing, but in the eyes of professionals, it is inevitably a bit abrupt.

As for the solution, there are some simple ones. Just dig a big hole in the ground, put a camera in the hole, and stretch the height of the space to solve this problem. But...who dares! Talk about digging people in the school

Just go to school? Crazy?

For a moment, Lu Ze's brain started to work continuously, and he began to recall the system courses to see if it would help.

In fact, Lu Ze has much more experience than Mickey. After all, he has systematic practical experience here. He has seen countless transparent directors shooting with various techniques. Gradually, he thought of a way.

This kind of problem has also occurred in the system space before, because except for plot shooting with special effects, the system space usually does not enter the studio, it is all real scenes. When the problem occurred last time, the transparent director did not think of a solution on the camera.

, but... made a fuss about the role.

"Hey Lola, please come here. Please stand still. Wait a moment. Mickey, what do you think of her hair? The higher the hair, the better. The eyebrows should be raised slightly. The lines also need to be changed.

one time."

"You mean..."

"If it's boring, it's boring. The integrity of the lens cannot be touched. If it's boring, you have to express it. Why is it boring?"

Mickey regained his energy and looked Lola up and down. It was not that he had never thought of finding a way to solve the role, but the idea was not very clear and it was a waste of time. The final effect was not certain, so he gave up the idea.

.

But after Lu Ze said this, today was also a test shoot anyway. Lu Ze had passed this over and over again, so he might as well let Lola give it a try.

"Lola, try Lu Ze's suggestion just now. Let's wait a moment and put the camera in its original position. Okay."

Seeing Lola return to the dressing room, Mickey crossed his legs on the chair with a smile, took out the script and turned to the part where Lola played the principal, took out his pen and made two random strokes.

"You have quite a lot of ideas, but if you really plan to take action, although Lola's role has no impact on the overall plot, the character's personality will be more complicated."

"It's just because it has no impact on the plot. Otherwise, how dare I say it?"

The two of them came together, staring at the script, and kept teasing each other, but their brains were running rapidly. They were not bored with this kind of detail modification, and even liked it very much.

Because a simple detail is modified, the meaning of the entire shot changes, and even becomes the highlight of the entire movie. Countless changes and countless possibilities are the charm of film art.
