After finishing the filming in China, all the scripts will be sent to Europe. The filming in the United States, France and Morocco is the focus.

"Any classic movie will give people an unforgettable classic scene. When people watch "Inception", what will be the scene that they can't forget?" Song Lu and his party were walking on a certain street in Paris.

He asked looking at the layout inside.

"I don't know which scene is the scene where the dream collapses, but I think it must be in a few scenes where the dream remains fixed or collapses," Wu Jing replied.

"Yes, I think so too." Ning Hao nodded.

Song Lu turned his head and looked at the two of them and smiled. Directors are indeed different, and they have a deeper understanding of movies.

"You are right, so this scene is very important. Among all the collapses of dreams, this collapse of the streets of Paris is the most difficult to film and the most exciting. This story is called "Inception", so this story is the core

, the most attractive thing is the description of the dream. Therefore, how to present the dream is very important for this movie." Song Lu stretched out his two hands and gestured with the lens pattern in the air to see the entire composition and movement.

"Director Song, do you mean that the focus of this film is not how the protagonists steal dreams, but how to present the dream mirror?" Ning Hao asked.

"No, they are all important. But how to clearly present the dream is more important, because it is the basis of everything. In the creation of science fiction scripts, the setting of the world outlook, such as the storyline, is often more important."

"For example, you also encountered difficulties, and then overcame them, and found that it was an insurmountable difficulty. Finally, the team worked together to solve the difficulties, and the finale. This is a common pattern for many scripts, then you think, the same

Model, if you put it in a police drama, you are a criminal who is wanted by mistake, and then you have to resolve the misunderstanding, and you find that all the evidence points to you as the criminal."

"This is a difficult problem with no solution. In the end, you thought you found the solution to the problem by stripping the silkworms out of thousands of tangled threads. It turned out that the whole world knew that you were misunderstood, but everyone wanted to convict you.

." Song Lu said.

"Why?" Wu Jing suddenly asked.

"Because you are a cold-blooded killer, and the killer must die. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether you were misunderstood or not. This is because you found an insurmountable difficulty." Song Lu turned around and patted Wu Jing on the shoulder.

"Ah? Then, how to solve this situation?" Wu Jing asked in surprise.

"In the end, you were released from the wanted list because you were an undercover agent and the other party wanted you to die in the hands of the police or force you to reveal yourself. In the end, you had to reveal yourself, but your mission also failed and you were almost caught.

The boss of the killer group." Song Lu made his move.

"This reversal... is quite interesting." Wu Jing nodded.

"But the story is not over yet. You are not willing to fail the mission. After your investigation, you finally found out that the real boss of the killer group is... the director."

"Oh, it's still reversed?" Ning Hao was also surprised.

"When you know that the director was originally a killer group established to use the killer group to solve problems that cannot be solved by the right way, you feel that the director is not so bad. But when the killer group became an interest group and was about to escape the director's control, the director's only choice

The best way is to disband in a clever way, so you have this game." Song Lu took the thermos cup from Lu Ren and took a sip.

"The story is there, the twist is there, the social aspect is there, and the characters are vivid. Tsk, this is a good story." Wu Jing nodded.

"Am I telling you this story? What I'm talking about is the importance of this background setting to the story. If the same routine is placed in a science fiction film, what kind of story do you think it will be? What if it is placed in a romance film?

Therefore, the setting of the world background in the genre must be interesting. Ours is a dream science fiction movie, and dreams are just dreams. How to make the dream science fiction? So the depiction of the world background is very important." Song Lu said speechlessly.

"Ah? So this is what you are talking about? I thought you were talking about women, but it turns out that what you want to express is the importance of gender to the structure of society. Director Song, your example is not appropriate..." Ning Hao laughed

road.

"..." Song Lu was speechless.

"Haha..." Wu Jing laughed with the others.

Although everyone was joking, everyone understood what Song Lu expressed, and the core idea was just one: this scene is very important, it is a scene that expresses dream science fiction.

It has both the beauty of dreams and the instability of dreams, because as long as the dreamer does not change one emotion, the whole world will collapse.

Many people don't pay attention, but in fact, viewers who watched "Inception" remember these dream depictions more deeply than the storyline.

Therefore, if a director cannot grasp the key points in filming, he will never be a great director.

This is just like the fact that Hollywood movies rarely win acting awards from the three major film festivals. In Hollywood blockbusters, the actors' performance is often reflected in the movie's world background, tense storyline, and dazzling performance.

Technological movie shots have been taken away, and the proportion of an actor's performance in the movie has become smaller.

Therefore, actors in Hollywood are under a lot of pressure. If they want to win awards, they will choose scripts that are more focused on actors' performances.

The reason why actors from European literary films and Eastern literary films are more likely to win awards is because most of the shots and focus of a movie are on the actors.

Unlike Hollywood commercial blockbusters, most of the shots and focus are on other elements.

For example, in this scene, how many shots and focus will there be between Cobb, played by Song Lu, and Susan Liu, played by Fan Bingbing?

Not much. After the film was completed, no one paid attention to the actors Song Lu and Fan Bingbing. Instead, they were more attracted by the dreamy collapse of the entire street and the high-speed camera movement.

This is good and bad for actors.

Fortunately, in this case, only when the actor performs at his 120% level can he compete with other elements for attention, which can promote the actor's performance.

The bad thing is that the actor's performance confidence will be shattered, because they think that I have worked so hard on my performance, why can't the audience see it? Instead, they focus on things like the collapse of a dream and the images under a high-speed lens.

"After filming this film with Director Song, my view of movies will be overturned." Song Hao and Wu Jing were chatting on the set.

"Why?" Wu Jing asked.

"A lot of what Song Lu taught us is contrary to the traditional director knowledge we have received. For example, our director knowledge tells us that the focus of the shot is always on people and characters, because characters are the basis for promoting the story.

But Song Lu said, no, the character doesn’t have to be important. The focus of the shot is to present the audience’s focus. If the audience’s focus is the depiction of the dream, then the person is just a prop to match the dream depiction.”

"Our director's knowledge tells us that the expression of moving shots mainly lies in three functions: first, when showing the emotional instability of the characters, use moving shots, such as happiness, tension, excitement, etc.; second, when showing the intensity of the plot,

Use sports lenses. The third is to show more angles and wider field of view scenes, using sports lenses can express more."

Ning Hao said, taking out a cigarette and giving one to Wu Jing, and the two of them lit it.

"But the more important function of Song Lu's movement shots is whether the movement shots look better and whether they can make the audience focus. The purpose of his camera movement is to guide the audience, that is, when his camera moves, it tells the audience

'You should look here, it's more interesting here'."

After Ning Hao finished speaking, he looked at Wu Jing helplessly. Wu Jing couldn't help but smile and said nothing.

"Well, in addition to these, there are many aspects that are contrary to what I have learned. The most incomprehensible thing among them is that he is strict with the actors' performance requirements during filming, but he is not serious at all.

He requires the actors to be immersed in the role and to perform with all their strength, but his camera just glances over..."

Ning Hao shook his head and was speechless. It really made him speechless.

"He regards actors as just one of the many elements in his movie. Nothing is more important than the lens, color, props, etc. In his eyes, everything in the lens is equally important, so everything in it must be perfect.

, including the actor's performance, even if his camera just glances over, you have to be perfect."

"So? Do you think it's good or bad?" Wu Jing asked thoughtfully.

"I don't know, I'm very resistant in my heart, but I think it makes sense." The reason why Ning Hao complained to Wu Jing was because he couldn't define it.

"I remember Song Lu said something to me. He said that learning is just for reference, not copying. Therefore, you can learn from his methods, but you don't have to copy them. If you think it makes sense, use it, and if you think it doesn't make sense, stick to it.

Make your own way." After Wu Jing finished speaking, he patted Ning Hao's shoulder, then dropped the cigarette butt, stamped it out and left.

"Hey, Ning, the director is back, get ready." The staff on site waved to Ning Hao.

Ning Hao smiled and waved, then put out his cigarette butt and walked over.

"Sister Bingbing, are you okay? Are you ready? Let's go one way? We have to make sure everything is safe, otherwise we won't be able to afford this bomb." Song Lu asked Fan Bingbing.

"Ah, I can do it. After eating the sausage, I will be resurrected with full blood." Fan Bingbing blinked and waved his little fist.

"...Well, director Ning, let's go one way, and then Cobbard, you guys will see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, we can start filming." Song Lu changed the subject.

After the two walked through the play, Fan Bingbing acted panicked, and then the table began to shake, which was a sign that the dream was about to collapse.

"Okay, click, everything is normal, the rest is the special effects part. Director Song, do you want to watch your performance just now? It was recorded." Ning Hao shouted to stop.

"Okay, let me take a look." Song Lu said, walking to the monitor and watching the playback taken with the digital camera.

After Song Lu read it carefully, he waved to Fan Bingbing. Fan Bingbing took a deep breath, knowing that it did not meet Song Lu's requirements again.

"Sister Bingbing, you have to act like everything is normal, just like two collaborators drinking coffee and chatting about work naturally outside a cafe. Only in this way will the audience mistakenly think that this is not a dream. When you are shocked and panicked, the audience will

We are also shocked. However, you are not relaxed enough in the front and shocked in the back." Song Lu pointed out the problem.

"Isn't it relaxing enough? I feel very relaxed. Besides, I don't know how much shock you want?" Fan Bingbing asked.

"I told you, use your body more. For example, when we are chatting, we are actually discussing the problem seriously. When you are a little confused, you can naturally scratch your hair, or spread your hands, etc."

Fan Bingbing nodded, meaning to live a little more, live a little more, like a student.

"Then when you didn't dare to ask me, 'Are you dreaming?', then you started..."

Fan Bingbing made it clear after Song Lu's face-to-face instruction, and then acted out, and Song Lu gave instructions again, and then acted...

After doing this four or five times, Song Lu felt that there wasn't much of a problem, and then the filming officially started.

First, the conversation between the two was shot through front and back shots and panoramic shots, and then came the most difficult part, with on-site special effects.

Technical problems that require the cooperation of many departments are not always easy to succeed. After all, it is not just a matter of two people performing, there are many more.

For example, the first shooting failed because the explosions did not occur in the designed order, and the second time was because the time between the two explosions was wrong. Even under high-speed lenses, the previous explosion happened before the second one happened.

The third failure was when a few black guys suddenly passed by while making loud noises, which basically affected everyone's performance.

Although you can blame others for this matter, is blaming useful? It is just a waste of time, and even if you scold the staff who stopped people and scolded the two people, it will not solve the problem.

continue……

As a result, when the demolition team reinstalled the explosives, Fei Hong had something to say again.

"Director, the lighting is not right and I can't follow the next shot."

Song Lu walked out and took a look, and there happened to be a dark cloud floating over. Okay, wait until the dark cloud passes...

After two more twists and turns for about an hour, Song Lu finally finished filming this important scene. Song Lu let out a long breath.
Chapter completed!
